summarized the requests and answered questions from the Board. Discussion ensued.
FREMONT POND - The Board discussed a Fremont Pond report that was recently completed.
David Avrin and Claire Davis of the Environmental Advisory Committee joined the discussion.
The Board explored various ways in which the pond's water quality can be improved. The
Board was in agreement that educating the residents regarding the impact of pesticides was an
important, inexpensive first step. They also talked about creating a "Friends of Fremont Pond"
to assist in implementing recommendations made in the report. A meeting with the pond's
stakeholders will be set up to solicit ideas on how best to proceed.
MASTER PLAN - Trustee Spiro started the discussion regarding the Master Plan. She attended
a planning work shop in Tarrytown and was impressed with the way it was conducted and the
number of people that were involved in the process. Mayor Wray asked Trustee Spiro to take the
lead on getting Master Plan information for Sleepy Hollow including finding planners that do
this type of work. Trustee Gebler volunteered to assist Trustee Spiro with this effort.
BEEKMAN AVENUE GRANT RESOLUTION - The Board reviewed a draft resolution
provided by grant writer Fiona Mathew. The resolution is required to complete a grant contract
for the Beekman Avenue sidewalk project. Mayor Wray requested that this item be on the next
Board meeting agenda.
