Present: Mayor Gandolfo Trustee Fudali Trustee Fine Trustee Cicchetti Trustee Coon Trustee Hyland Trustee Treacy Also Present: William T. Regan, Village Administrator John J. Hughes, Village Attorney Mayor Gandolfo called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag. Mayor Gandolfo asked that a moment a silence be taken in memory of a long time resident of the Village, Stanely Jadus, who passed away last week. Mayor Gandolfo addressed the audience stating this was the 114th Anniversary of the Village of North Tarrytown; therefore the meeting will be shortened and there will be refreshments for anyone wishing to stay after the meeting. No Public Hearings Approval of Minutes Trustee Fine moved, seconded by Trustee Cicchetti to approve the minutes of December 6, 1988 as written. Motion carried. Communications, Petitions ft Requests Officer Hrotko, President of the PBA presented the Board with a petition signed by members of the Police Department and the Public Works Department opposing to the change in our health insurance from the Empire Plan to POMCO. (Petition to be made part of the record) There were many concerns expressed by the policemen who were present about the new insurance plan. They felt it was not comparable to the Empire Plan because many of their physicians are not in the plan and many do not plan to join. Also, one retiree who lives in Florida expressed concern as to whether or not other states are accepting this plan. The Mayor and Trustee Fudali assured them that everything possible is being done to convince their doctors to join and that as far as coverage in the POMCO plan, it will be better than Empire due to the fact that Empire will be charging a co-payment even if they are in the plan. 1 �i Public Comments Mrs. Cycz and Mr. Scipioni of Bedford Road addressed the Board concerning the new ordinance which was passed prohibiting parking on the upper part of Bedford Road. They claimed that there is no place to park for people who come to visit. They would like the Board to amend the law to allow parking on at least one side. The Mayor commented that the Board would discuss this at the work session. There being no further comments, the Mayor closed the comment section. Mayor's Report The Mayor reported that a memo has been received from the Board of Fire Wardens stating that they would like the Board of Trustees to take action as soon as possible on restricting parking to only one side on the following streets; Anderson, Tappan, Van Ripper and Rice Avenues. A letter was received from the Superintendent of Schools approving community parking on the Morse playground the weekends of December 17 and 18, 24 and 25 and 31 and January 1st. He also thanked the Board for allowing them to pay a garbage pickup bill dating back from 1987 to 1989, after July 1, 1989. The bill will be paid within two weeks of that date. Mayor Gandolfo stated that our attorney has informed the Village that the case of Caetano vs. the Village has been dismissed. The Mayor received a certified copy of a resolution which was adopted by the City of White Plains supporting New Rochelle's request to the County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to reduce the hours when alcoholic beverages can be sold for on premises consumption from 4:00AM to 2:00 AM. This will be discussed at the next work session. Mayor Gandolfo stated that we have received the state aid check in the amount of $250,000. and the Board will decide where to apply this; perhaps towards helping to reduce our deficit. Mayor Gandolfo stated that she, Mayor Pilla and Mayor Marra have expressed their disapproval to the County Executive's proposal to have the Hilton become a shelter for the homeless. Mayor Gandolfo appointed Sal Donzella of Hudson Terrace to the Parking Authority to fill the unexpired term of Frank D'Eufemia. Trustee Fudali so moved to approve this appointment, seconded by Trustee Fine and carried. 2 �I 7oC Trustee Reports T r u s t e e Fudali reported t h a t he and Trustee Treacy attended a symposium regarding housing on December 14, 1988.
