Present: Mayor Gandolfo Trustee Marren Trustee Rey Trustee Treacy Absent: Trustee Cicchetti Trustee Alter Trustee Hyland Also Present: William T. Regan, Village Administrator John J. Hughes, Jr. Village Attorney Mayor Gandolfo called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag. Trustee Marren asked that everyone remain standing for a moment of silence for a long time resident of the Village, Fred Lacerte who passed away. Public Hearings Mayor Gandolfo stated the first hearing was a continuation of the proposed Ethics Code. There was much discussion on this proposed code. Several residents spoke. Mr. Belanich questioned who a certain section of the code pertained to regarding loans. Mayor Gandolfo stated that it pertained to someone who is in a position to make a decision, Trustees Marren and Treacy stated that it is someone with the authority to purchase items, those in a discretionary position or someone who could place the Village in a bad situation. Alex Fudali encouraged the Board to adopt this code but suggested that in Section 19 (3), appointments to Boards such as Zoning and Planning, etc. should be included. Also, the term of the Ethics Board should be longer than two years. Ugo Checchi wanted to know if other Villages had been contacted; and if you are compensated for serving on a Board, can you be a district leader and what was wrong with the old code. Trustee Treacy stated that he contacted six other towns and villages and that the NYS Commission of Government Integrity has informed all municipalities, etc. that they must upgrade their old codes. The Mayor stated that you cannot be a district leader if you are compensated for serving on a Board. Mrs. Meade wanted to know if you leave a position before you come before the Ethics Board, can the person still be disciplined. The Mayor stated the Board would have asked the person to resign anyway. After more discussion, Trustee Treacy stated that the County can act in a situation if we do not establish an Ethics Board; we hope we may never need to use this Board at all. 1 �I Trustee Treacy moved to adjourn the hearing to the next meeting on March 5, 1991, seconded by Trustee Rey and motion carried. Mayor Gandolfo read the attached public notice regarding an amendment to Sections 57-6 and 57-7 of the Vehicle and Traffic Code which came about at the request of an area resident Eugene Buonanno (copy of his letter is attached). Mitch and Eileen Meade of 38 Gordon Avenue were against this proposed amendment because they felt it was too narrow on that bend and the only people to benefit from this would be the businesses around the corner who already take up many spaces. Mrs. Meade suggested making Katrina to Rice Avenue a one-way street. The Mayor stated that there would still be a need to move cars for the sweeper and she would speak to the Police Chief and the Fire Chief for their opinion on a possible one-way street. There being no further comments, Trustee Treacy moved to adjourn the hearing until March 5th, seconded by Trustee Marren and motion carried. Mayor Gandolfo read the attached public notice regarding tax exemption for rent controlled property occupied by senior citizens. The Village Attorney stated that certain criteria must be met such as age, income, if their rent is in excess of 1/3 of their total income, etc. There were no comments from the public. Trustee Treacy moved to adjourn the hearing to March 5th, seconded by Trustee Marren and motion carried. Approval of Minutes Trustee Rey moved to approve the minutes of the Special meeting of February 1, 1991 as written, seconded by Trustee Marren and motion carried. Trustee Marren moved to approve the minutes of February 5, 1991, seconded by Trustee Treacy. Trustee Marren questioned whether the executive section of the meeting should have more information in it. Village Counsel stated that this should be discussed in executive session. Approval of Warrants * Trustee Marren moved to approve the warrants and authorize the Treasurer to pay the bills, seconded by Trustee Treacy and motion carried. The amount of the General fund wa $73,988.37 and the Water Department fund was $10,521.26. Communications, Petitions & Requests The Mayor received a letter signed by Joseph DeMichele and Gabriel Hayes, Sr. requesting the removal of a tree an the end of Amos Street; referred to General Foreman and Tree Commission.

Mayor Gandolfo was in receipt of a letter from President of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery regarding an amendment to the Village's Wetland/Watercourse Protection Law. The Mayor received a letter from Elena Malunis resigning from the Architectural Review Board effective February 15, 1991. Trustee Marren moved to accept her resignation with regrets and thanked her for her time on the Board, seconded by Trustee Treacy and motion carried. A letter was received from Catherine Albaneze regarding a claim; will be referred to Counsel. A letter was received from Hudson Canyon Construction,Inc. regarding the possible purchase of the Water Department Garage. The Mayor was in receipt of a letter from William Diament, Attorney representing a couple of property owners in the Village requesting that the Board consider amending the local regulations for the emergency Tenants Protection Act to change the number of units affected by the law from six units to either eight, ten or twelve units. Will discuss at next work session. The Mayor has received a letter from Joseph DeMelia with regard to the outstanding claims against the Village (will be taken up under resolutions) . Public Comments Mr. Belanich commented that the Citizen's Calendar which usually appears in the Daily News on Sundays was not there this week. The Mayor suggested that he complain to Gannett Newspaper. Mr. Belanich suggested that on the PBA request for appointments of sergeants and lieutenants in the Police Department, the one with the highest score should be chosen, The Mayor stated that the Board would pick the most qualified out of the top three candidates on the civil service list. James Donovan asked what the status was of the Halpern proposal; the Mayor stated the proposed agreement is being drafted by the attorneys. Trustee Marren commented that there is a resolution on tonight's agenda to extend the contract for negotiating the contract until May 31, 1991. Joe Poli of 126 Valley Street wanted to know why the Village owns the parking lot adjacent to Margotta Courts and purchased it for only $1. The Mayor stated that this was done many years ago during the urban renewal process and suggested that he check with Angie Mazzacone at the North Tarrytown Housing Authority. 3 �I Mr. Donovan asked if it is a forgone conclusion that the Village will approve the Halpern agreement; the Mayor stated no and Trustee Rey stated that the residents will be able to see the completed agreement before it is voted on. Trustee Marren commented that she had recommended previously to the Board that they not take a vote on the completed agreement until they receive a recommendation from the financial ad hoc committee. There being no further comments, the Mayor closed this section. Mayors Report Mayor Gandolfo reported that the Department of Health will hold a meeting on February 2 0th at 7PM in the Court Room to answer concerns of residents of the Duracell area. Department of Health will be testing blood and urine in the Fire Department on February 22 to those residents. The Village of Tarrytown has notified us that Knapp McCarthy has been charging passengers a twenty-five cents fare surcharge a ride. A letter has been sent to them stating this surcharge is illegal unless they first come to the Board for approval and if anyone should be charged, they should call Village Hall. ARCH will be accepting applications to purchase condo units which will be built on the former Immaculate Conception Church site. Anyone interested with a total income between $28,000.-$42,000. should contact Rose Noonan at 332-5229. Mayor Gandolfo stated that the Village of Dobbs Ferry has requested that our Acting Village Justice be permitted to sit in their court when needed. (See attached resolution #2/32/91) There will be a Planning Board meeting on February 21 at 8 PM. Administrators Report The Administrator reported that with regard to the proposed state budget, for villages it is a 100% cut in revenue sharing for $178,000. and it appears that building and fire code aid, senior and youth programs would also be cut approximately $191,000. which would mean a 7% property tax increase. A resolution on the agenda opposing to any cut at all in revenue sharing will be sent to our state representatives. Bids for the police suburban were opened today. Russell Chevrolet came in with the lowest bid of $19,540. We received a check for $10,600. from the other insurance company and the Village Attorney is investigating the possibility of obtaining the difference from the tractor trailer company. The Administrator stated that we have received the list of the outstanding claims from Joe DeMelia and he recommended that we accept his audit. 4 �Trustees1 Reports Trustee Treacy gave an update on the grant for commercial revitalization that he and Teri Waivada have been working on. Last year we were able to do approximately thirty storefronts. We have a very good chance of receiving this grant and the Van Tassel will be the first one in line for this grant since they were at the end last year when funds ran out. They plan to do the entire block and a half of storefronts. There are no strings attached to this grant. Much discussion ensued on whether it was ethical for Teri Waivada to be helping us at no cost to the Village. Trustee Marren felt that in light of the proposed new ethics code, it was not appropriate to have Teri Waivada be paid by Jon Halpern since we are in the process of entering into agreement with Halpern. Trustee Marren moved that the Board not accept this money from Halpern to pay Teri Waivada and find the money in our budget to pay her, seconded by Trustee Rey. More discussion ensued; Mayor Gandolfo and Trustee Treacy felt that this was such a small sum and would not have any effect on the Halpern vote, and Trustee Rey agreed with Trustee Marren. On the motion, Trustees Marren and Rey voted YES and Mayor Gandolfo and Trustee Treacy voted NO; motion was defeated. Trustee Treacy then read resolution #2/29/91 which is attached. Trustee Treacy commented that more volunteers are needed for the blood drive. Trustee Rey reported that with regard to the new fire apparatus, sometime early in April it can be viewed as it goes through its breaking in process. There will be a need for Pocantico Hook & Ladder to replace its truck by 1992. He met with the Ambulance Corp with regard to the discussion of the possibility of collecting revenue through no-fault insurance when there is an accident and legal aspects are involved. He will report back to the Board on this in March. With regard to pensions for volunteer firemen, there is action still pending in the courts. Trustee Marren reported that on the status of 1 Evergreen Way; she has contacted Senator Spano's office and he is intervening to get a written document from OMH; she and John Hughes are still working on it but nothing is resolved yet. Resolutions-Attached Resolution #2/33/91: Trustee Treacy moved to adopt the audit as submitted by the Village accountant and to include a list of claims presently pending against the Village, seconded by Trustee Rey. Discussion ensued on whether accumulated sick leave should be in the audit. The Administrator stated that there are two options; include it in the budget every year or set up a risk retention fund. The Village Attorney stated that it is not necessary to have this fund set up. Motion carried. 5 �Mayor Gandolfo stated that she would like to approve the towing contract whereby the Board decided to use Stiloski and Alex Towing on an alternate basis and set up a licensing fee for both parties. The Board decided to take this up at the next meeting. The Administrator stated that the DEC has requested that the Village vote to declare a negative declaration as to the effect of composting at the Phelps site as opposed to the DEC doing it; they want the municipalities to be the lead agency. Trustee Treacy moved to declare the Village of North Tarrytown the lead agency, seconded by Trustee Marren and motion carried. Old Business Trustee Rey expressed his appreciation of the installation of the signal light on Old Sleepy Hollow Road but wanted to know when it would be working; the Administrator stated that we are waiting for Con Ed to energize the line and also for Con Ed to correct the problem with the traffic light on Cortlandt Street and College Avenue. New Business The next work session is February 2 6th. Public Comments Frank Rizzi requested information regarding the proposed condos on Depeyster Street. Executive Session Trustee Treacy moved to adjourn to executive session to discuss personnel matters, seconded by Trustee Marren and motion carried. Discussion ensued on a letter from a police officer addressed to the Chief requesting that he be considered for the position of police sergeant. The disciplinary hearing for a police officer has been set for February 27th at 8:00 PM. Discussion ensued on the approval of minutes for February 5th with regard to the discussion in executive session. Trustee Marren wanted to add that with regard to the discussion of the vacancies in the Police Department, overstaffing was discussed and the Police Chief will review the restructuring of the police department. With those additions, Trustee Treacy moved to approve the minutes of February 5, seconded by Trustee Marren and motion carried. There being no further business, the Mayor adjourned the meeting.
