A letter was received from Cynthia Russell, Director of Community Development with regard to the rehabilitation of 74 Beekroan Avenue, stating that the Westchester County Department of Planning has stated that this project is one of the highest priorities because it is important to the entire revitalization of Beekman Avenue. Deputy Mayor was in receipt of a letter from County Executive, Andrew O'Rourke, declaring a drought emergency on March 20, 1989. Deputy Mayor was in receipt of a letter from the County with regard to a 911 emergency line that Westchester County is proposing. A letter from the Westchester County Department of Environmental Facilities stated that as of December 31, 1991 the dumping of sewage sludge into the ocean will be prohibited and severe penalties will be imposed upon those who do so. The Senior Community Coalition of Ossining will be holding a Operation Clean Sweep on June 3. Anyone who knows of a senior citizen who needs help in doing some sort of spring cleaning jobs, can go to the Wildey Street office and enroll in this program to help them. There is a lengthy study from the Department of Planning on the school enrollment. Anyone interested may look at this study. Deputy Mayor announced that volunteers are needed for various committees and anyone who is interested, please contact the Board. Finnegan Associates will be sending letters to those residents who were not home after two visits, requesting them to set up an appointment. 2 �.7?2Administrator's Report The Administrator reported that the proposed budget has been submitted to the Board of Trustees and copies are available at Village Hall,and one copy at the Library, Post: Office, Bank and Restoration.

Trustee's Reports Trustee Fine moved that the actions taken at the Board of Fire Wardens meeting held on March 14, be accepted, seconded Trustee Cicchetti and motion carried. (Copy made part of minutes) Trustee Fine also submitted the minutes of the meeting of Fire Wardens and Board of Trustees on March 2, 1989 into Board minutes. Trustee Fine also was in receipt of correspondence from the Fire Wardens with regard to one side of the street parking on Rice, Crane, Katrina, VanRipper and Tappan Avenues. A public hearing will be held on April 18 and their letter will be submitted at that time. Trustee Fine commented that although the awning program is progressing nicely, a resident had expressed concern that there seems to be no apparent system in which the awnings are going up. She felt that an Architectual Review Board would help in this type of problem. Trustee Treacy commented that because the merchants are paying 50% of the cost of the awning, it is difficult to tell them how much they should spend. Trustee Fine commented that the PBA advertisement which appeared in the Daily News was unnecessary and unethical. Trustee Cicchetti commented that after the Board passed a resolution requesting the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns to fix the fence along Riverside Drive, we received a quick response and it should be done within the next two weeks. 3 �Trustee Treacy reported that he and the Administrator met with Lucille Sacchi on March 15 on the future rebuilding of Beekman Avenue. The Village must convince the County that diagonal parking along the Avenue is feasible. Originally the County had suggested that we break ground in the Spring of 1990, but we feel the work should start as soon as possible, and the Mayor and the Board will continue to press the County to move up the date. On March 9th the Mayor, Trustees Hyland and Treacy met with a group of merchants to discuss the proposed new sign code, possible unloading zones, new sign and awning program, rebuilding of Beekman Avenue and the formation of a merchant's association. There are four points to the program to help turn Beekman Avenue around; design, organization, promotion, and economic reconstruction. The merchants meeting was very productive. The sign and awning program is progressing very nicely; R&R Lounge and Mer-Lo Stationary Store have a new awnings, Fleetwood Pizzeria, Greene County and Pulsoni Venetian Blind Co. will have new awnings shortly. Trustee Treacy reported that on April 1 at 11 AM will begin the Centennial Celebration of the Historical Society, and on April 2 there will be a celebration at Grove Street. Trustee Treacy read resolution #03/35/89 with regard to the cable franchise. (Resolution is attached) Trustee Hyland reported that in a letter from County Executive Andrew O'Rourke, he announced the first signed contract for the recycling of glass will be J. Bass. Each municipality will be furnished with containers sized to their needs. When the container is full, they will pick it up and replace it with an empty one. There is no "pull charge" and no container rental fee. He was very pleased that the County is doing their part in the recycling program. Our recycling program is working; last February 1988 we spent $6392. and this February $5589. The second light at the Elm street lot has been installed. Trustee Coon read a letter of resignation from the Recreation Commission from Andrew Halpern who will be relocating out of town. A letter of thanks for his time has been mailed to him. The mailers will be going out to those properties where the assessors were not able to get into those homes. The data information for those residents who have been assessed should follow after that and he would like Finnegan Associates to give us a definite time as to when they will be sending out the data information. 4 �7?Y Trustee Fudali commented that on March 20, he and the Mayor and Dr. Sweet met with the management of 100 College Avenue and they were assured that they would comply with the specifics of the audit and they would submit in writing the information that the Board was seeking. Public Comments Dr. Sweet reported that at a meeting of the Environmental Management Council, they went over the subject of CEA (Critical Environmental Areas), which are certain areas which the County has designated that need to be protected. Mr. DeFelice commented on the article in the newspaper regarding the police department and our new health insurance coverage and where the money would be coming from to upgrade Beekman Avenue. Deputy Mayor Fudali commented that several meetings were held before switching to MEBCO and that it is comparable to the Empire Plan. The Administrator commented that the sidewalk repairs would be budgeted from capital funds over ten years and the village would fund it through a bond. Mr. Caetano stated that he was the one who informed the police about the traffic light that was damaged and commented that the Water Department garage building was in need of repairs. John Lofaro of Pine Close wanted to know when the No Parking signs were going to be put up. Deputy Mayor Fudali stated that he would have the Public Works department check into it as soon as possible. Mr. Galella asked that the Margotta Courts parking lot be cleaned up. Trustee Hyland stated it would be done this week. Mr. Galella also asked the Board to pass a resolution stating that the tax on cable not be raised $50. Mr. Sam Gittens of the Tenants Patrol spoke with regard to the Patrol to answer some of the fears and rumors that are being circulated. Mrs. Babski and Mrs. Lewis also spoke with regard to the Tenants Patrol and that they need more volunteers and the ones who are there now do not get paid. Mrs. Belanich asked about Halpern Associates and what their function would be when they were finished evaluating the revitalization of Beekman Avenue. Trustee Cicchetti commented that the Board could provide her with a copy of their contract with the Village if she wished. After a much heated discussion over the Tenants Patrol, Deputy Mayor Fudali closed the public comment section. 5 �( Resolutions Resolutions are attached.

Discussion ensued on the grievances of the police department with regard to seniority rights with respect to vacation time(Officer Reddy). Trustee Treacy moved to settle the grievance by granting Office Reddy his transferral of seniority on the condition that he withdraws his grievance and if the vacation schedule has already been set for 1989-90, it remains; seconded by Trustee Fine, motion carried 4-2 with Trustees Coon, Fudali, Treacy and Fine voting YES and Trustees Hyland and Cicchetti voting NO.
