This has been through the efforts of the public works committee, but he felt that there was some misdirection on the part of the foreman and would like to discuss this in Executive Session. Trustee Treacy reported that on June 8, he met with the Rezoning Committee to discuss possible changes in the zoning of some of the commercial business districts on Broadway, particularly the short section of Old Broadway opposite the Restoration.

One of the co-chairs of the committee, John O'Leary, made a very a very good suggestion that Trustee Treacy believes the Mayor and the Board should follow up on. He suggested to increase the size of the committee to include people from all areas of our community. Trustee Treacy commented that he felt that all merchants should have a voice in the proposed changing of our sign code as they would most directly be affected by any changes. Trustee Treacy stated that he and the Administrator attended a meeting today on the Community Development Block Grant Program. The village has been awarded a $300,000 grant from the County. At todays meeting guidelines and timetables were laid out for the participants to adhere to. He stated that he was dissatisfied with the County's timetable for our parking study; which has been scheduled for the third year. He felt that our parking problem needs attention much sooner and he will address this problem to the County at their next meeting. A study needs to be done regarding the possibility of diagonal parking. On the recommendation of the Village attorney, Trustee Treacy made a motion to hire Frederick P. Clark Associates to conduct a study at a price, not to exceed $3000., to study the diagonal parking between Washington Street and Teresa Street on Beekman Avenue on the north side; money will come from the $100,000. grant.

An assessors manual will be sent to the Village and will be available for public inspection.

Approval of Warrants Trustee Hyland made a motion to approve the warrants, seconded by Trustee Coon and motion carried. Executive Session Trustee Hyland made motion to adjourn to Executive Trustee Coon and carried. Session, seconded by The Administrator stated that the board should consider naming an interim replacement for Mary Zimmermann in the Recreation department until we find a Superintendent. Mary has recommended that the board appoint Xaren Weaver who has been working in the Recreation department part time for about four years and she feels that Karen would be quite capable of handling the job for the rest of the summer. Trustee Fudali suggested that Mary Zimmermann be retained on a consultant basis from time to time so that she can help Karen with the finances to insure that what is being done is in accordance with past years. Trustee Coon commented that the Commission is concerned that since Karen is a counselor in day camp in the morning, it would conflict with this full time position. Therefore, if the Board does appoint Karen in the interim, she must give up the counselor job. After much discussion, it was decided that the Recreation Commission give their input to the Board before any appointment is made. should The Administrator stated that one of our employees, James Manca, needs an advance on his vacation and sick time to give him the days he needs for an extended hospital stay so that his salary does not stop. Trustee Fudali made a motion that the Board agree to the terms specified, seconded by Trustee Treacy and carried. The Administrator asked that a motion be made granting him a 6.6% wage increase retroactive to June 1, 1987, which the Board had agreed upon as soon as the Police contract had been settled. Also, that the Administrator be paid his accrued vacation of three weeks. Trustee Hyland so moved, seconded by Trustee Coon and motion carried. 5 �John Hughes, Village Attorney, reported that John Vincek, who has been out on compensation for almost a year has been denied job related disability, therefore the Village has petitioned for ordinary disability. Trustee Hyland expressed concern over the policy which has been set in the public works department regarding the leaf and brush pick up on Monday, but not being followed by the general foreman. Trustee Treacy felt that the general foreman should be given a reprimand or warning, either orally or written. After some discussion, Trustee Fudali recommended that the committee meet with the general foreman to discuss these problems. Trustee Coon recommended that in addition to this, the Board put in writing the procedures that they want the foreman to follow.In this way he will know what direction to go. After executive session was over, the board moved back to regular session. Being no further business, Deputy Mayor Fudali adjourned the meeting. Respectfully submitted, Angela Ti.

Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED: That the Mayor and Board of Trustees do hereby adopt the attached personnel manual, entitled: Village of North Tarrytown Personnel Manual" MOVED: Trustee Hyland SECONDED: Trustee Treacy VOTE: After some discussion, Trustee Treacy moved to table resolution, seconded by Trustee Hyland, and motion carried. This was done on the advice of counsel, that it would be better to have the majority of the board for a vote rather than the majority of those board members present. Trustee Fudali commented on the clause in the policy about the sick leave for those hired before 1/1/80 stating that those three people can go before the Board for consideration for additional compensation. He hoped that future Boards or this board would consider the understanding that those three individuals had with how past cases were handled. They should at least consider the merits of that understanding and that employees'request. We are only talking about those three employees hired before 1/1/80; and anyone else would fall into the payment of one-third of their accumulated sick time. RESOLVED: That, upon the recommendation of the Village Administrator, the 1988/89 Street Lighting Bid be awarded to Edward McCarthy, of 2 Andrews Lane, North Tarrytown, at the bid price of $922.0.00. Said bid is retroactive to June 1, 1988 and expires May 31, 1989. Be it further resolved that said bid is subject to the approval of the Village Attorney and the execution of a street lighting agreement.
