Thank You �Forwarded message From: Anne White < Date: Mon, Apr 26,2021 at 5:05 PM Subject: Comment on Mayor's Budget To: Paula Mccarthy <pmccarthy@sleepyhollowny.ore> Good afternoon, Ms McCarthy. I was unable to attend the Public Hearing last Tuesday on the Mayor's Budget, but would like to submit two comments for the record before the closing of the Public Comment period. 1. If I'm reading the budget correctly, I believe there is a new position proposed in the Administrator's office. If that is correct, I would like to be sure the new staff member is skilled in communications, and also bilingual, so that they can help expand the Village's communications with the public beyond what is now possible with your limited staff. 2.1 want to be sure the budget includes funding for professional Spanish translation services for all Village Board of Trustees and Planning Board meetings to enable Spanish-speaking residents to participate. This is the one recommendation, aside from continuing to meet through 2021, that was agreed on by the Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative, approved by the Board of Trustees, and sent to the Governor by the April 1st deadline. Thank you for including these comments in the official record of Public Comments. Anne White Kendal Way Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 �ftxn CmliW Analysis of Sleepy Hollow's 2021-2022 "Mayor's Budget" Proposal by Daniel Convissor, danielc@panix.com, 0DanielConvissor, April 20, 2021 Expenses Sleepy Hollow's new budget proposal has a $1.1 million spending increase. The major parts are: • $230,262 raises for DPW staff (across 9 budget lines) • $202,000 to fund the Length of Service Program for Ambulance and Fire volunteers • $140,200 toward health insurance, retirement funds, etc • $150,000 to NYC for the cost of water • $120,810 for police officers who graduated to higher ranks • $61,481 on the new position of Assistant Village Administrator • $47,200 for Fire Department protective equipment, medical services, etc • $25,000 more in police overtime, bringing that total to $475,000 Not included in the budget is the Building Departments desire for another code enforcement officer. I guess that will come in around $125,000. The Trustees must carefully analyze our spending on the Police Department. Does our modest village really need 26.5 officers (including the Chief)? On top of that, is $475,000 in overtime appropriate? (Be aware that overtime gets added to pensionable income, thus raising long term costs as well.) This quantity of money seems more inclined to enable doling out favoritism rather than making our Village safer. All told, 18% of our budget goes to policing, with a cost of $4,216,656. Revenue The 84% of the new spending would be covered by an 8% property tax increase. We would see some relief if New York State paid property tax on the Rockefeller Preserve and Old Croton Aqueduct like they do in the rest of the state. We should collaborate with neighboring municipalities on a concerted effort to get the Legislature and Governor to enact this reform. (For more info, see this journal News article from 2016. Note: that was written before the Rockefellers took another 346 acres off the tax rolls by donating it to the State in 2019.) Sanitation Do we want more garbage? Of course not. Then why is Sleepy Hollow subsidizing it? The Village plans to spend $793,312 on employees, vehicles, gas and dumping fees to get rid of stuff. Wouldn't we be better off investing more of our money and employees effort in things we want? More sidewalks, cleaner sidewalks, safer crosswalks, wheelchair ramps at corners, removing snow from street corners. We can dramatically reduce sanitation costs, one step at a time: • Stop spending property taxes on sanitation. (This year's budget proposes shunting $113,312 from the General Fund to the Sanitation Fund.) • Outside of Downtown: do garbage pick up once per week, have recycling alternate which type �• • • • of material is picked up each week. (It worked well like this during the COVID lockdown.) Leaves need to be bagged. (Picking up loose leaves requires paying for a special machine and a lot of extra labor. Leaves in streets also clog storm drains and foul water quality as well.) Use automated trucks to pick up recycling Use automated trucks in more neighborhoods Meter waste. (Just like we pay for electricity and water, paying for trash provides people a cue to think about ways to reduce waste. This cuts garbage by on average around 40%.) Steps on this path include: ° Charging for bulk trash. (See photo and its caption.) ° Outside Downtown, have residents pay per bag. (https: / / voutu.be /TZbMLQxuMTO> © In Downtown, install submerged containers. (This saves space, labor and energy for everybody while Apartment contents are frequently left at the curb when making buildings look better. One tenants move out. A few loads like this and the truck example: must be driven all the way to PeekskiU and pay to dump https://yQutu.be/VIxHXSvD3Sw) it. All of this is expensive. These waste reduction measures will help us Properly pricing trash will encourage donating or maintain our Climate Smart Community status. selling things instead of throwing them away. (And we're going to need every point possible in order to reach the 250 needed to maintain Bronze status. More so if we want to try to level up to Silver by getting 350 points.) Pricing garners 5 points. Recycling & compost education gets us 2 points. Bonus points are given for every 10% of waste cut. (40% = 17 points!) Reducing garbage truck mileage will lead toward yet more points. Being a Climate Smart Community gives the Village an edge to win grants from New York State. �Andlisis de la propuesta de "Presupuesto del alcalde" de Sleepy Hollow para 2021-2022 por Daniel Convissor, danielc@panix.com, SDanieltonvissor, abril 20,2021 Gastos La nueva propuesta de presupuesto de Sleepy Hollow tiene un aumento de gastos de $1,1 millones. Las partes principales son: • $230,262 aumentos para el personal del DPW (en 9 llneas presupuestarias) • $202,000 para financiar el programa de duraci6n del servicio para voluntarios de ambulancias y bomberos • $140,200 para seguro medico, fondos de jubilacidn, etc. • $150,000 a NYC por el costo del agua • $120,810 para oficiales de policfa que se graduaron a rangos m£s altos • $61,481 para el nuevo puesto de administrador asistente de la aldea • $47,200 para equipo de protecci6n del Departamento de Bomberos, servicios medicos, etc. • $25,000 mis en horas extras de la policfa, lo que eleva ese total a $475,000 No se incluye en el presupuesto el deseo del Departamento de Construcci6n de tener otro oficial de cumplimiento del c6digo. Supongo que eso supondr^ unos $125,000. Los Fideicomisarios deben analizar cuidadosamente nuestros gastos en el Departamento de Policia. ^Nuestro modesto pueblo realmente necesita 26,5 oficiales (incluido el Jefe)? Adem^s de eso, <es apropiado $475,000 en horas extra? (Tenga en cuenta que las horas extraordinarias se suman a los ingresos pensionables, lo que tambi£n aumenta los costos a largo plazo). Esta cantidad de dinero parece m£s inclinada a permitir repartir favoritismos en lugar de hacer que nuestro pueblo sea m£s seguro. En total, el 18% de nuestro presupuesto se destina a la vigilancia, con un costo de $4,216,656. Ingresos El 84% del nuevo gasto estaria cubierto por un aumento del 8% en el impuesto a la propiedad. Veriamos algun alivio si el estado de Nueva York pagara impuestos a la propiedad sobre la Reserva Rockefeller y el Acueducto Old Croton como lo hacen en el resto del estado. Debemos colaborar con los municipios vecinos en un esfuerzo concertado para lograr que la Legislature y el Gobernador promulguen esta reforma.

To Denise I extend my congratulations on your new term as Trustee. (I do not have Jared and Tom s emails to include them here as well) In November of last year parking lines were painted on New Broadway in Webber Park. After a petition of complaints from the residents of Webber Park, one half of the street was subsequently paved over to remove the parking lines. Please advise the status of removing the remaining lines on the west side of the street. It has been stated that the lines were mistakenly painted, and furthermore they are too small causing a safety problem. Some vehicles such as SUVs and pick up trucks are too large to fit within the lines and drivers are concerned about being ticketed if they are not within the lines. This causes a safety problem because as these large vehicles are trying to fit in to the spots they are blocking sight when pulling out of the driveways. Just the other day I almost collided with an oncoming car because I could not see around the SUV that tried to carefully to park within the lines next to to the driveway. I ask for your urgent attention in this matter before an accident occurs Thank you & regards Kirsten McLaughlin �Paula Mccarthy From: Sent: To: SleepyHollow Tarrytown Monday, April 26, 2021 3:41 PM Paula Mccarthy; Denise Scaglione; Sandra Spiro; Rachelle Gebler; Sam Gonzalez; Thomas Andruss; Jared Rodriguez; Kenneth Wray; agiacco@sleepyhollowny.org Comments on Mayor's Budget 2021-2022 Sleepy Hollow - Additional Information on Participatory Budgeting.pdf Subject: Attachments: Dear Mayor Wray and Village trustees, Thank you for your invitation to share any proposal that we believe should be considered during this process of creating the new village budget for the fiscal year 2021-2022. We are SHaTTR, a youth-led community group in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow dedicated to increasing community involvement in village decisions. We are following up on last Tuesday's public budget meeting. As a group, we believe that community input should be central to the budgeting process. SHaTTR collected feedback from 40 residents on what they think the budget priorities should be. While the survey is limited, these findings show there is significant reason to reconsider budget priorities. Money speaks much louder than words. At the end of this email, please find the data from our survey compared to your proposed budget. You may find our survey here. The categories the community feels are most important are those which receive the least funding from the village. We ask you reconsider the budget allocations to increase money allocated for health services and community and economic assistance. Additionally, we ask that you collect more data from a wide range of community members on their values in the coming year. In the interest of improving community participation in the budgeting process, we have also attached an information sheet on participatory budgeting. On the second page of this document, you will find a sample resolution for a participatory budget process. We ask that you kindly consider this proposal as part of the 2021-22 budget. We are happy to discuss further, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. -SHaTTR Community General and Culture Home ar Government Police Fire Safety Health Economic and Commut Support Department Department Inspections Services Transportation Assistance Recreation Services Community Requests 10% 6% 8.80% 6.50% 14% 8% 15.60% 9.40% 9.1 City Proposed Budget 14% 23% 1.70% 2.90% 1.50% 8.10% 3.00% 11.00% 0.2 Most Important Least Important t �From: Steve Tarcan Sent: Friday, April 16, 20219:22 A M To: Sandra Spiro <sspiro@sleepvhollownv.org>; Paula Mccarthy <pmccarthy@>sleeovhollownv.org>; Kenneth Wray <kwrav@sleepyhollownv.org>: Rachelle Gebler <rgebler@sleepvhollownv.ore>: John Leavy <ileavy@sleepyhollownv.ora>; Ken Wray <kgwrav#gmail.com>; Denise Scaglione <dscaglione(5>sleepvhollownv.org>; Anthony Giaccio <a£iacciojg>sleepvhollownY.org>; Glenn Rosenbloom <Rrosenbloom@sleepvhollownv.org>: Sam Gonzalez <saonzalezg>sleepyhollowny.orE>; Jared.t.rodriguez Subject: Budget hearings email notification Good morning, I hope you are all doing well. I am emailing you all because I heard that the village is in the midst of the general budget process, but there hasn't been a single announcement via village email notifications about when / how the public can express their comments and concerns. In order to accurately comprehend what this community needs, I strongly urge the village and village administrators to let our community members know about these meetings, especially because the general budget is so impactful to our day-to-day lives. I know there are quite a few concerned villagers who would appreciate it if the village sent a notice to all residents (in both English and Spanish) with information on the complete schedule of all public hearings, the complete schedule of department budget presentations, and a link to the 2021-2022 draft budget. In my experience, this would be a really good (and extremely easy) way to get more villagers involved in this critical process. Thank you, Steve �From: David Macaluso via Sleepy Hollow NY Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2021 7:17 A M To: Paula Mccarthy <pmccarthv@sleepvhollownv.org> Subject: Form submission from: Submitted on Sunday, April 18,2021 - 7:16am To Mayor and Board of Trustees, I'm concerned with cars speeding along Sleepy Hollow Road between Bedford road and where Weber Ave meets it near Rockefeller. There are many houses on this road (including mine) and cars speed excessively. Weber Ave has speed bumps and a stop sign at North street; there isn't even a speed limit sign on Sleepy Hollow Road.
