the PMIA was not notified about this notice previously.

would like to see more enforcement especially more stop signs, instead of lowering the speed

problem to solve or if it's an individual's request. He is against any proposals to reduce the

�ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
(12/13/16)

FIRE HOUSE ROOF: We have retained a roofer to repair the Fire House roof. We needed to
first contact Verizon because they need to move wires off the roof. I am meeting with Verizon
and the roofing company tomorrow at 3:30 to see what wires need to be removed.
FREMONT POND MEETING: Last Saturday, Deputy Mayor Rosenbloom, Trustee Gonzalez
and I met with the company that did the study on Fremont Pond. We received good information
and recommendations on how to proceed. The two issues are sediment and water quality. We
believe it will be necessary to hire an environmental engineer to address these issues.
PAY STATION MEETING: Trustee Levy and met with the pay station company to determine
locations and to discuss the next steps in getting the pay stations installed and operating. There
will 5 pay stations installed on lower Beekman, 4 on Valley Street and 1 to replace the one in the
Village lot. Of these, 6 will be solar powered. 4 will be located in shaded areas. The pay
stations will be ordered this week and will arrive in 4-6 weeks.
MERCHANT'S COUNCIL MEETING: There will be a Merchant's Council meeting on
Wednesday, December 14th at 9:00am at the Red Zebra.
SENIOR CITIZEN BUS: I'm happy to report that the new senior citizen van will be delivered
on Friday. This bus is completely funded through the Community Development Block Grant.
Thank you Fiona Mathew and also thank you to Josephone Galgano for being a strong advocate
for the seniors.
GRANTS AWARDED: Speaking of our grant writer, we just learned this week that we, along
with Tarrytown and Briarcliff were awarded a $602,879 grant for Consolidated Water Supply
Implementation from the NYS Department of State. This project is the implementation of our
Consolidated Water Supply Feasibility Study, completed earlier this year. The Village also was
awarded $59,929 for a new LWRP from the NYS Department of State. This LWRP can serve as
the Village's master plan.
LIGHTHOUSE LIGHTING: Thank you to Burns Patterson and Edge on Hudson for organizing
the lighthouse lighting. It was extremely well attended and the lights look great.
