Village of Sleepy Hollow
A work session of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow was held on Tuesday,
November 5,2019 at 7:00 P.M. at Village Hall, 28 Beekman Ave., Sleepy Hollow, New York.'
Present:

Mayor Kenneth G. Wray
Deputy Mayor Glenn Rosenbloom
Rachelle Gebler
Sandra Spiro
Denise Scaglione
John Leavy
Sam Gonzalez

Also Present:

Anthony Giaccio, Village Administrator
Rich Gross, General Foreman

Mayor Wray called the work session to order at 7:00pm.
NYPA STREET LIGHT PROGRAM Jeff Laino of the New York Power Authority (NYPA)
addressed the Board. NYPA offers a program in which it will replace existing street lights with
energy efficient LED lights. NYPA manages the entire project and can also provide financing.
It is expected that the savings in energy costs will help cover the costs associated with changing
over the lights. Mr. Laino provided the Board with a sample budget. The next step is for the
Mayor to sign an agreement with NYPA to get a cost estimate. The Board was amenable to this.
SPECIAL SESSION
On a motion made by Trustee Scaglione and seconded by Trustee Gonzalez, the Board moved to
special session.
Motion was made by Trustee Scaglione, seconded by Trustee Gebler to authorize the Mayor to
sign an agreement with the New York Power Authority related to the NYPA Street Light
Program. Motion passed 7-0.
On a motion made by Trustee Gonzalez and seconded by Trustee Leavy and carried unanimously
the Board came out of special session.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Mayor Wray said that he would like to put approval of the
comprehensive plan and LWRP to a vote at the next Village Board meeting. A red-lined version
of both documents have been available on the Village's website and the public hearing was
closed on October 22, 2019. The Village Board has 60 days from when the public hearing was
closed to act on this matter.

�CHANGE BACKFLOW PREVENTER INSTALLATION FEE: General Foreman, Rich
Gross addressed the Board. Mr. Gross is recommending that the Village increase the permit fee
for installing a back flow preventer. Mr. Gross said that the fee has not been raised for many
years. He said that the current fee is $60 and he thinks it should be raised to $180. This is what
Westchester County charges. The Board asked Mr. Giaccio to survey other communities to see
what they charge. Discussion ensued.
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR SCADA SYSTEM: The Board reviewed a draft
proposal from Arcadis Engineering to maintain the Village's SCADA System. SCADA stands
for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and it is used to monitor the Village's water
system. This is a renewal agreement with an estimated cost of $40,000 per year. The Board was
in favor of approving this agreement. Mayor Wray requested that this item be on the next
Village Board meeting agenda.
SIDEWALK CAFE POLICY: Mr. Giaccio started the discussion. He said that the current
sidewalk cafe permit currently runs from April 1 to September 30. He said that several
restaurants would like to serve food outside during October to take advantage of the many
tourists that visit the Village. Some will also like to be open during the winter if the weather is
mild. A public hearing would be necessary to extend the dates of the permit. Mayor Wray said
that the public hearing notice for this should be added to the next Board meeting agenda.
ARBOR DAY: Mr. Giaccio said that in order to qualify as a Tree City USA community, it must
hold an Arbor Day event. Most communities hold Arbor Day in the Spring around Earth Day,
but Sleepy Hollow has historically done it in November. The proposed date for this year's Arbor
Day is November 20. The DPW will help children plant a tree at one of the Village's parks.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
On a motion made by Trustee Gonzalez and seconded by Deputy Mayor Rosenbloom, the Board
moved to executive session to discuss legal and personnel matters.
On a motion made by Trustee Gebler, seconded by Trustee Leavy and carried unanimously the
Board came out of executive session.
At 8:55 the work session was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,

Village Administrator
