BOARD PAQ - Trustee Gonzalez started the discussion. Board Paq is a paperless software
system that is used to help manage Board meetings more efficiently. Trustee Gonzalez, the
Village Clerk and the Village Treasurer met with Board Paq and feel the software is a good fit
for the Village. The Board was interested in trying out this system on a trial basis.

unanimously, the Board moved into special session.
Resolution - Motion was made by Trustee Gonzalez, seconded by Trustee Leavy to approve an
agreement with Board Paq for a paperless software system to help manage Board meetings on a
6 month trial basis at a cost of $99 per month.
On a motion made by Trustee Gonzalez and seconded by Trustee Leavy and carried
unanimously, the Board moved out of special session.
NORTH WASHINGTON CULVERT PROJECT ENGINEER - Mr. Giaccio provided the Board
with a proposal from Jim Hahn Engineering to provide engineering services for the North
Washington Culvert Project. Hahn Engineering has worked on many similar projects for the
Village and has done an excellent job. Deputy Mayor Rosenbloom recommended approving this
proposal at the next Board meeting.

�P O C A N T I C O S T R E E T T R A F F I C S T U D Y - The Board discussed hiring a traffic consultant to
study Pocantico Street. There has been much discussion about improving pedestrian safety at
Pocantico Street near Morse School and a traffic study would help identify hazards and make
recommendations. The Board was amenable to this depending on the cost. Deputy Mayor
Rosenbloom asked Mr. Giaccio to get cost estimates and provide them to the Board.
R E D U C E S P E E D LIMIT IN PHILIPSE M A N O R - This matter was tabled.
SOLICIT A P P R A I S E R - There was a discussion about hiring an appraiser to estimate future tax
revenue created f r o m n e w construction being done in the Village. The Village Board has been
working on a five year plan and it would be helpful to know what additional tax revenue the
Village can expect over the next several years. The Board was in favor of soliciting proposals.
T R A S H R E C E P T A C L E S - Rich Gross joined the discussion on trash receptacles.

The Village

Board recently purchased a new automated sanitation truck and special trash receptacles need to
be ordered. The Board debated on whether to order 65 gallon or 95 gallon receptacles. There
are pros and cons for each. The Board asked Mr. Gross to provide color options.
F R E M O N T P O N D E N V I R O N M E N T A L E N G I N E E R - Deputy Mayor Rosenbloom started the
discussion related to Fremont Pond.

The water quality in Fremont Pond has been deteriorating

as a result of contaminants that enter the pond from various sources.

The Village Board is

considering hiring an environmental engineer to design a plan that would reduce the number of
contaminants that enter the pond.
CON EDISON G A S L I N E R E P L A C E M E N T P R O J E C T - Mr. Giaccio mentioned that Con
Edison is about to begin a large gas line replacement project in the inner-village. The work will
start in January and could take 6 months to complete.

The Village will work with Con Edison to

lessen the impact the work will have on the residents.
Deputy Mayor Rosenbloom wished everyone a Happy Holiday and N e w Year.
At 8:10 the work session was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,

Village Administrator
