Pumper Cab Ahead of Engine Design with Five (5) Man Canopy Cab and Miscellaneous Equipment for the Rescue Hose Fire Company #1 of North Tarrytown, New York in accordance with specifications on file. Counsel Ponzini read a mail-gram from Mack Truck Company requesting an extension of one week's time in order to enable them to finalize their bid on said truck. Trustee MsBride asked if this was normal procedure? Counsel Ponzini stated "no". He informed the Board that they had reserved the right to reject all bids after opening the bids received but thought it unfair, and bids could be returned unopened if the Board decides to readvertise. Mayor Zegarelli asked for a recess to discuss whether to reject and readvertise without opening the bids already received. He also stated that all bids would be returned to those bidding "unopened", if requested, and they could be resubmitted if so desired. After a five minute recess the Board resumed the meeting. Mayor Zegarelli announced that the Board had decided not to open any of the bids. He also stated that if any of the bidders were present and wanted to take back their bids they were welcome to do so. Several withdrew their bids. Trustee lofaro moved, seconded by Trustee Tinmings that the Village readvertise for bids for a new truck for Rescue Hose to be returnable on July 29th, 1983 at 4 m. Carried. The Treasurer was instructed to lock up all remaining bids in the safe to be opened at the bid opening to be held on July 29th. Mayor Zegarelli read the notice of hearing to consider the adoption of a special assessment to provide for the payment of labor and materials for the installation of / �-2a public improvement known as Cold Water Meters - Displacement types (Magnetic Drive) with encoder type remotes 5/8" - 2''size. The purpose of the public hearing will be to permit the Village of North Tarrytown to impose a special assessment upon the water bills of those residents and taxpayers who will be provided with this improvement in services. Mayor Zegarelli asked if there was anyone present who would like to address the Board on this subject. Mr. James Donovan of 133 Hunter Avenue stated he was shocked to get a notice that his meter was being replaced. He said a public hearing should have been held before a final decision was made to install the meters. He stated that in the last three years the meter in his home could not be read only three times and he felt that the cost of three post cards did not warrent the cost of new meters, and he did not feel that the new meters would benefit the homeowner. He felt that the letter sent out sounded like a demand to put up or shut up. Mr. John Carroll of 140 Hunter Avenue read the June 13th letter sent out by the Water Department and asked various questions regarding the installation of the meters and some prior public meeting would have been held to inform the residents of the cost of meters. He asked if there were any other villages in the area who had their-meters installed. John Biros, Superintendent of Public Works reported that the Village of Ossining, City of Newburgh and the City of Poughkeepsie had recently had them installed by the Central Insatllation Company and reported that the meters were being supplied by Rockwell International through a local agent. There will be a $50.00 charge for the meter and a $30.00 installation fee. Local residents will be charged $10.00 per quarter until the $80.00 fee is paid. He also reported that some of the meters now in homes are very old and they under register and the village is 3osing quite a lot of money each year. Many times meter readers have been unable to gain access to read meters and the readings have to be estimated. The new meters will be put into the same place as the old meters and a wire will be run to an outdoor remote hookup where a meter reader can insert a special cassette tape which will record the water usage. Meter readings will be accurate and fool proof. I* Trustee tfeceyak stated that the issue was brought up at the last four meetings of the^ £oard and the meters should have been replaced years ago. Trustee Timmings stated that most of the people paying for the meters will probably gain a benefit in that they will be able to deduct the cost of the meters on their income tax. Constance Billharz, 467 Munroe Avenue stated she was very upset when she received the letter stating that the meters would be assessed to her in the amount of $80.00 and felt that a letter should have been sent to her asking for her opinion before the Village contracted for the installation of the meters. She also did not like the way the matter was handled and that the village ougjht to pay for the meters. Raymond Avellino, Gory Brook Road asked who would be responsible if the water line broke while they were changing the meters. He stated many of the lines in the village are old and felt if they are disturbed it might create problems. He also wanted to know if a licensed plumber was installing the meters. Mr. Biros stated that if a pipe broke the Water Department would be responsible and that the installers would be working for the Water Department and would not have to be licensed. �/o?# -3Mr. John Joy, Riverside Drive asked if the old meter was his and if so he would like a rebate. He had on various occasions had problems with his water line and he was told the water meter belonged to him. Mr. Biros stated that the meters would be traded in for the brass at a price of $4.00 per meter, and that actually the residents only rented the meters. He also stated that the village will be responsible for any damage. Mr. Donovan inquired as to why it was not a budgeted item, if it was going to benefit all taxpayers. He also asked if the meters were vandal proof and tamper proof and what about those meters already located outside the houses. Mr. Biros replied that those meters already outside would not be replaced. There being no further comments regarding this subject Trustee tfeceyak moved, seconded by Trustee Buonanno that the public hearing be closed. Carried. Jfeyor Zegarelli read the public notice for a public hearing to be held to amend Section 57-20G of the General Code of the Village of North Tarrytown prohibiting parking for all vehicles on the northerly side of Beekman Avenue commencing at a point 95 Feet from the southeast corner of Beekman Avenue and Hudson Street and running westerly from said point a distance of 126 ft.

Mr. Serina stated that the restrictions on parking should be between the hours of 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. in order to allow the residents of the area to park when they came home from work. Mr. John Carroll asked what became of the "Parking Committee" and stated he could not see taking all these parking spaces from the residents of the area. Chris Jorgen a resident of 225 Beekman Avenue reported that he works nights and he has difficulty finding a parking space when he comes home at night, and stated that the General Mstors employees should be made to park in the G.M. parking lot. Mr. Donovan stated that if it was a safety factor the onus should be put on General Mators and that the residents of Beekman Avenue be given consideration and a cross walk could be painted making it safer to cross. Mr. Serina stated that the area requested is too vast and that the employees of General Mators lot could hold 200-300 more cars.

It is of such importance to the Village that it warrants close study by all members of the Board and he stated they would meet at the work session of July 20th with the Planning Board on the matter. Trustee Buonanno moved, seconded by Trustee Lofaro that the bills submitted on the General Fund and Water & Sewer warrants dated July 11th, 1983 with the addition of bills submitted this evening by Robert Ponzini and tfershall Belnik be paid after approval by department heads and that the Treasurer be authorized to pay same and that a copy of this resolution be attached to the warrants. Carried. Mr. Frank Rey asked if there was a list of insurance policies held by the Village available to me for study. He was instructed to contact the Village Treas. at her office the next day. There being no further business to come before the meeting, Trustee Buonanno moved, seconded by Trustee Maceyak that the same be duly adjourned. Carried.
