his displeasure and fact that the minutes as submitted were rejected
for as far as he could see, no cause.
Mayor Zegarelli read the following statement:

[
i
I
I

I

"Today, a petition on behalf of the people of North Tarrytown and
J
myself as Mayor, was filed with the Supreme Court of the State of New
j
York in order to end the unwarranted stalemate between certain members
i
of the Village Board and its chief executive. Despite repeated efforts S
to resolve this situation arising from the Mayor's lawful authority to
appoint the Village attorney and the Village prosecutor, I found it
necessary, as Mayor, to seek the protection of the courts in order to
end the confusion and waste of Village time, money and resources.
Majority members of the Board of Trustees have failed to join me in my
repeated efforts to seek an opinion from the New York State Attorney
General or other similar legal authority to resolve this stalemate.
Therefore, on behalf of the Village I have requested that a judgment be
entered into to prevent these same members of the Board of Trustees
from interfering in the legal and necessary activities of Messrs.
Ponzini and Tucciarone; to declare the actions of these same members of
the Board of Trustees as null and void and as under no effect; to direct
these same Board of Trustees to recognize the power and authority of the
Mayor, and; to direct further relief as may be considered just and proper
in this and similar matters.
This petition to the courts could have been prevented if cooperation
were forthcoming from the majority party of the Board of Trustees.
Therefore, in seeking relief from the courts I sincerely hope that the
court's restrictions and associated documents will be adhered to until
a decision is reached. We will continue to carry on the normal course
of business within this frame of mind and by court direction's this
legal framework immediately. I will not comment further on the aspects
of this case until called upon by the courts. It is time to get back
to the business of running the Village of North Tarrytown in a legal,
sound and proper context."
Mayor Zegarelli noted and recognized the presence of Robert Ponzini
as the lawful Village Attorney for the Village of North Tarrytown. The
Mayor also stated that court papers have been served on the majority of
Board members answerable on Friday wherein a request has been made to
the court that an order of show cause why a Temporary Restraining Order
should not be granted in his behalf.
Trustee Lobato stated that he (the Mayor) brought this action on
behalf of the people of North Tarrytown. He stated that obviously his
prepared statement of the temporary restrained order reflected that
expectation.

I

i

�-4Mayor Zegarelli stated that the statement was written after we
knew that a TRO would not be granted at this time. The only reason
Justice Wood did not grant it was because we are a municipality and
required a notice.
Trustee Lobato stated that the temporary restraining order was
denied.
Mayor Zegarelli asked if there was anyone present who would like
to comment on any matter may do so at this time. No one appearing
before the Board, the regular order of business resumed.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
PUBLIC WORKS
Trustee Maceyak gave the following report:
Rodded storm sewer from Fremont circle to Broadway and in the
GM parking lot.
Bank balance as of April 25th is $65,420.00.
Trustee Maceyak moved that specifications be prepared and bids
received on May 23, 1983 for the furnishing and installation of 500
remote reading meters, seconded by Trustee Timmings.
On the question, Trustee Maceyak stated that 907o of water meters
date back to 1930. He stated that the remote part of the meter would
installed on the outside of the owner's property. We have had many
problems of not being able to get into homes, as well as owners not
sending in their readings. The annual savings would be $18,580 and
there will be no problem reading the meters from the outside, he said.
The committee is determining ways of funding the system, one of which
is creating a special tax district which would be tax deductible. The
would be a charge of $10 per month until the amount of $80 is paid for
the installation and purchase.
Another suggested means was to raisel
water rate.
Trustee Timmings stated that up to eight years' ago, the Board
used to receive an annual report showing nlost" water. How much you
buy and how much you sell and anything between those is the difference
for the lowest water.
Trustee Buonanno stated that too many hours are spent reading
meters. We will be getting accurate readings, he said. This is also
a safety aspect - people do not know who the men are also.
Motion carried.
Trustee Maceyak stated that the stairs from Millard Ave. to Phil
Manor railroad station have been completed. The handrail and cap sto
will be completed by the end of the week.
Potholes were filled with blacktop throughout the Village.

Sanders were removed from vehicles and stored in greenhouse.
The dirt which was washed down into the GM parking lot from the rear o

�y

The heavy rains washed out behind the central garage portion of
the new garage allowing water to come in. This has been filled and
blacktopped, but the repair is unsatisfactory.. The contractor still
has not provided us with all the proper keys to the new garage.
Trustee Maceyak called for a work session to go down to the new
Village garage to survey some of the problems that exist in the new
garage.
POLICE
Trustee McBride stated that a series of meetings were held regarding
the police department budget.
Trustee McBride moved that Lt. Brophy be granted permission to
attend the Smith-Wesson Pistol I course in Springfield, Mass. from
June 27-July 1 at a cost of $400, seconded by Trustee Timmings. He
stated that there would be no overtime also.
Trustee Buonanno raised the question as to whether or not the
department will be properly manned with the Lieutenant being away, as
well as other members being on vacation, and was answered that the
Chief is making the request and it is with this understanding.
Trustee Timmings questioned if the tuition includes room and
Board and was answered by Trustee McBride that the entire cost to the
Village is $400; all other costs will be borne by Lt, Brophy.
Trustee Timmings stated that it would not be fair for someone
to pay $200 on his own to attend a school if it is of benefit to the
Village.
Following a short discussion, motion carried.
Trustee McBride stated that he is in receipt of a request from
Chief Spota to permit Sgt. William Patten to attend the State Office of
Crime Prevention Basic School at Pamona for one week commencing June 6th

Trustee McBride stated that where we normally go out for bid on
meter maintenance contract, one of our highway department personnel,
Charles Annicchiaricco, who has been trained for the job, will do
whatever work is necessary on the meters and therefore, we will not call
for bids on meter maintenance.
Trustee McBride moved, seconded by Trustee Buonanno that Mr.
Simnowski who holds the current contract be notified of same. Carried.

�-6Trustee McBride stated that a request has been made from Chief

the Treasurer and Clerk not to put his name on the check.
Trustee Lobato stated that they had a dispute over a lot of appoii
ments and since the Acting Village Justice is important to the Village
had agreed on the appointment. There was an agreement that the three

ment officer be performed by a second person, Mr. Checchi, and that th
assessor function be severed out.
They did not agree to it, said
Trustee Lobato. We were going to authorize a non-Village resident to
perform that function, however, you preferred Mr, Page, said Trustee
Lobato.

�Vy

-9Mayor Zegarelli explained that this was the appointive power of
the Mayor. For him to do otherwise would be a diminution of the Mayor's
power. Within the framework of any decision, there will be adequate
provision who is to be paid, said the Mayor.
Trustee Lobato stated that we should compromise.
Trustee Buonanno, referring back to a resolution passed in 1981,
stated that the three part-time positions were made full time. As head
of the administration committee, he stated that we need more "muscle" to
do the job. The committee would like to see the job broken up and more
concentration on the assessor and building inspector aspect.
The code
enforcement officer's position should be segregated, he said.

on the check.
Following a discussion, Trustee Maceyak appealed the ruling of
the chair, seconded by Trustee Lobato.

interjected that he would refuse to accept the motion which would take
away the responsibility given to him by State law to audit every bill
and warrant. He stated that he would hold him personally responsible
