Public Comments Mr. & Mrs. Belanich asked the Board if anything could be done about all the shopping carts left on the streets.

Another resident, Mrs. Lingardo, asked when the No Parking signs on Gordon Avenue were going to be put back up. The Mayor commented that the General Foreman has ordered many signs and they should be up very shortly.

We have also put two new vehicles into service. Trustee Fudali met with the Power Authority on July 11 for an emergency meeting with a l l the municipalities. The basis of the meeting was to explain that for the f i r s t time this summer the Power Authority has fully u t i l i z e d the a l l o c a t e d power i t has from Con Edison. Whet they had to do i s reach an agreement with Con Edison as to what the a l t e r n a t i v e s would be so that no c r i s i s would arise. Trustee Fudali stated that he had a preliminary draft that the Power Authority and Con Edison have put together, which he would like the Village Attorney to check and get back to the Board as to how this would apply to the Village of North Tarrytown. Trustee Fudali commented that at the last Board meeting the Board tabled the motion of adopting a formal Employees Rules of Conduct and a Personnel Policy manual for our exempt employees and he would l i k e to adopt t h i s tonight. Trustee Fudali read the following resolution: WHEREAS, The Village of N. Tarrytown has not had a personnel policy manual e s t a b l i s h i n g employee b e n e f i t s , general working conditions and personnel practices, and WHEREAS, The absence of such a peronnel policy manual has r e s u l t e d in administrative problems upon the h i r i n g , resignation and retirement of employees; and WHEREAS, The Village recognizes the importance of c o n s i s t e n t personnel guidelines. Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED; That the Mayor and Board of Trustees do hereby adopt the attached personnel manual, e n t i t l e d : Village of North Tarrytown Personnel Manual, excluding one item which i s the vacation for part time employees. Trustee Fudali so moved, seconded by Trustee Treacy. Mayor Gandolfo asked that Trustee Fudali clarify the part of the manual which deals with accumulated sick time retirement benefit. 4 �-^ mmm * --*~ Trustee Fudali commented that there is an item in the policy that states that any retiring employee can accumulate up to a maximum of 165 sick days and at this time they will be paid one-third of the unused sick time at their present rate of pay. Any retiring employee hired prior to January 1, 1980 will have the opportunity to have their accumulated sick time prior to retirement, reviewed by the Village Administrator and the Board of Trustees for possible consideration for additional compensation. There are three employees now that will be affected by that item. They Here led to believe when they were hired that they would be entitled to payment of all their accumulated sick time up to 165 days, therefore, they will be considered for possible additional compensation. Mayor Gandolfo felt that if there was a standard practice and people have counted on that over the years, she did not believe that this should be changed to the detriment of employees who have been with the Village for many years, therefore she objected to the policy on those grounds, but approved everything else. Trustee Treacy commented that sick days are to be banked and used in case of an emergency and not a retirement benefit. He felt that paying this sick time in addition to all other retirement benefits is too much. After this brief discussion the vote was taken. Trustees Fine, Fudali and Treacy voted YES and Trustees Coon and Hyland voted NO. Motion carried 3 to 2. Trustee Fudali made a motion to adopt the Employees Rules of Conduct. (Resolution attached) Trustee Coon reported that the informal meetings on reassessment will be continuing throughout the summer; and the data collection phase of the project is continuing in the Philipse Manor section. • Since Mary Zimmermann has resigned as Superintendent of Recreation, a resolution was read appointing Emil Galassi to work in the Recreation Department in the interim. Resolution attached. The search is going on to hire a new Recreation Superintendent. Trustee Hyland reported that the curb and sidewalk program is in full gear. Trustee Hyland felt that there is misdirection on the part of the General Foreman in many areas and felt the Board should reevaluate him. Resolutions All resolutions are attached. Old Business Trustee Fudali commented that the studies that were done by the County pertaining to Lyme Disease showed that none of the parks in the Village were tested, such as Douglas Park and Kingsland Point Park; he felt that the County 5 £>c2- �should test the parks in our area too. County requesting that this be done. Trustee Fudali would write to the Mayor Gandolfo reported on the Code Enforcement program and its progress. To date, the officers have entered approximately 50 buildings and have found many violations. The Code Enforcement officers would like to see a few changes in our ordinance, one which would be to require all property owners of multi family dwellings to leave an emergency telephone number with the police or Building Inspector. Also, they would like to change the code which now gives the owner ten days to remedy the violation to give the power to issue summonses to the officers or the Building Inspector in emergency situations. In order to make these changes a public hearing must be called. The Mayor asked for a motion to be made calling for a public hearing on August 2. Trustee Coon so moved, seconded by Trustee Fudali and carried. New Business Trustee Treacy Ftated that the Police Department reducing the crime rate over 9%. should be congratulated for Mayor Gandolfo commented that she will not make her appointment of Trustee to fill vacancy left by Frank Caro. Mayor Gandolfo asked that motion be made to adjourn to Executive session to discuss personnel matters. Trustee Coon so moved, seconded by Trustee Treacy and motion carried. Executive Session Discussion ensued over the reprimand of the General foreman. It was felt that this should be done in writing with a list of the items that the Public works committee felt were not being followed. The committee will meet on Monday, July 18 at 7:30 to discuss these. The Mayor and some of the trustees felt that the General Foreman was doing a very good job under the circumstances that he has been faced with. The Mayor asked that the foreman be present at the next work session and spoken to about these problems. On the matter of the increase for the Chief of Police, Trustee Fudali stated that no increase is to be given to management personnel unless approved by the board whether he is entitled to it or not. Brief discussion followed on certain benefits he has been receiving under the union contract in addition to his increases. The Mayor stated that these are benefits that he has been receiving since 1979 and you cannot take these away from him. The Mayor stated that she will ask the Public Safety Committee to go over what benefits the Chief is receiving and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether he should be getting this or whether the Board should follow a different policy for the Chief, and if so, it must be put in writing. On the matter of hiring a new Recreation Superintendent, a salary range of $24,O00.-$28,00O. was set for this position in canvassing the civil service list. 6 �I Mayor Gandolfo stated that right now ire have budgeted $12,000. for a l l prosecution matters, which Bob Peirce i s presently handling, but i t i s too much for one person. The Mayor stated that she has spoken to attorneys Jeanne Mettier, Gary Raniolo and Art Brady about the p o s s i b i l i t y of handling a l l the violations of the village code ordinances. Jeanne Mettler would be interested in accepting the p o s i t i o n for $5000.a year and Bob Peirce would receive $7000.a year for V&T v i o l a t i o n s . Trustee Coon commented that Ms. Mettler would not be able to practice in N. Tarrytown any longer, i f she accepts this position. After a brief discussion, i t was decided to table the motion to hire her and our attorney would check into i t further. Mayor Gandolfo stated that the Village has paid the firm handling the Gieason case $155,000.and they were told that they have $15,000. to spend on an appeal. Mayor Gandolfo stated that she has asked Richard Ayers and Steve Maceyak to be on the Sign Committee. John Hughes, our Village Attorney, stated that there i s a environmental group called NYPERB which is non profit organization who periodically go door to door soliciting for their cause. He stated that the Village should revise our s o l i c i t i n g local law to exempt these types of groups from having to pay the fee for a license and be fingerprinted because they object to this law as a violation of their rights and they do have the law on their side and it cause the Village alot of problems. They will comply with every other aspect of the law. Trustee Fudali made a motion to give General Foreman the increase which was promised to him by the Administrator when his probationary period was over. Motion was tabled to be discussed at the work session. Trustee Coon made a motion t o reconvene to regular s e s s i o n , Trustte Fudali and carried. seconded by Back to regular session the Mayor read resolution #7/91/88.(attached).
