Regan, Village Administrator Robert J. Ponzini, Village Attorney Mayor Rey called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag.

The amount of the General Fund was $146,070.04 plus an additional $3040. for medicare reimbursement for retired Village employees. The Water Department fund amount was $7115.45. Communications,Petitions & Requests The Deputy Clerk was in receipt of two letters from Larry Rodrigues notifying the Village that he is applying for an On-Premise Liquor License for Seabreeze, Inc. at 180 Valley Street and an Off-Premise Liquor License for Valley Wines & Liquor,Inc. (Referred to Police Chief) The Deputy Clerk received a letter from Mrs. Cartenuto of 516 Bellwood Avenue requesting that a dead tree in front of her home be inspected.(Referred to Highway Foreman and Tree Commissioner). Deputy Clerk read a letter from the Division of Housing and Community Renewal regarding the resolution that the Board passed decontrolling buildings under ten units. Numerous inquiries have been received as to whether or not tenants in occupancy retain their ETPA protection until they vacate and they want to Know what the board's intentions were. A brief discussion ensued. The Village Attorney stated that the resolution the Board passed only eliminates the class, and it is up to the tenants to be protected under their leases. The Mayor reaffirmed that this does not affect any rent controlled apartments. The Administrator will respond to this letter. 1 �Public Comments Miguel Jimenez addressed the Board regarding the Rock of Salvation's request to hold outdoor religious services at Friendship Park. The Mayor stated that the Board did grant permission for one day. Nicholas Cicchetti commented that the State Legislature has passed the 1% increase in the County sales tax. Our share of revenue gained by this increase should help the Village greatly by alleviating the tax burden on our residents. He suggested a plan be enacted so that we would be assured that the commitment the Village made in getting this increase passed is carried through. Also, a select Citizen Committee should be appointed to work out a long term program with the Board. Several residents addressed the Board with their concerns regarding the Halpern project. Mario Belanich asked if it were true that Halpern would be exempt from taxes for seven years and if the Village would be held responsible for any contamination found later on. Trustees Timmings and Treacy stated that there will be no tax abatements. Trustee Treacy stated that Halpern would not go forward until the DEC gives the area a clean bill of health. The Mayor stated that there is always a possibility that the Village could be named in a suit if in fact this does occur at a later date. Mr. & Mrs. Paul McClintock concerns were parking, flow of traffic, congestion and access of fire trucks if Andrews Lane and Elm Street were made dead end streets. Trustees Timmings and Nazemetz commented that the plans provide for parking whereby most spaces will be contained within the development. Mrs. Belanich asked about the environmental impact study and commented that the litter problem should be addressed before we go ahead and build more apartments. Trustee Treacy commented state law mandates an environmental study be done and experts will be hired to do the study. Trustee Timmings stated the contract is subject to the approval of this study and to the attorney's approval. Mayor Rey commented the Board met again with Halpern to reaffirm our position and ask questions. Dr. Sweet stated that the Village should keep in mind that under the Urban Renewal Law, once we agree to Phase II, the Village has a commitment to reimburse the contractor for some of the expenses. He commented when the PILOT agreement was signed in 1985, no one had realized what the impact would be on the school district by not stipulating where the PILOT money was being paid and how it would be handled by the school district. Because of this, the Village has been denied approximately 60% of these taxes. Last year a petition was circulated regarding the treatment of the GM PILOT and requesting that a deduction be made in the amount of GM PILOT from the amount of real property taxes to be raised from the Mt.Pleasant portion of the school district. 2 �I Mayor Rey commended Dr. sweet for all his time and effort. Mayor's Report Mayor Rey reported that the anticipated revenue the Village will receive as a result of the increase in the County sales tax should be approximately $550,260. This revenue will be used to stabilize our taxes. Mayor Rey received a copy of a letter from Sandy Galef addressed to the School Board regarding the petition she received last year with regards to the General Motors PILOT whereby the Mt. Pleasant portion of the school district is not being given credit for the General Motors PILOT. The Mayor stated that we should send a letter similar to this one to the Board of Education stating that the Village of North Tarrytown requests to join in pursuing this also. Trustee Hyland moved that the letter be sent, seconded by Trustee Timmings and motion carried 6-0. Administrator's Report The Administrator reported that the Village has received a grant from the State Education Department for $9850. which will be used to conduct an inventory of all the records in the Village. We will be looking for a part-time inventory clerk to do this. Correspondence has been received from the State Department of Transportation regarding the proposed project to widen the existing highway along Bedford Road; copies have been sent to the property owners in that area. A brief discussion ensued regarding the removal of trees along that road. The Administrator will contact DOT and ask them to send a representative to discuss our concerns about the project. William Regan was in receipt of correspondence from Michael Blau, Tarrytown•s Administrator asking if we were interested in joining with them in purchasing a noise-level meter at a cost of $981 each. Our Village Attorney commented that these were not admissible in Court. A brief discussion ensued and the Trustees felt that based on Attorney's opinion, we should not buy one. The Administrator stated that there will be two items for Executive Session; one regarding discussion on the early employee retirement incentive program and labor relations with the Teamsters Local. Resolutions-Attached Old Business Trustee Hyland suggested that an amnesty program regarding payment of fines be adopted. Attached resolution #07/93/91 was passed unanimously. Trustee Timmings felt that after the discussion with the Halpern representatives tonight, the Board should move forward on a decision. Attached resolution #07/94/91 was passed unanimously. The Village Attorney commented that for the next five months the Board will be looking at the Halpern agreement to see if all questions can be resolved and satisfied. 3 �Mayor Rey stated that the Municipal Officials Conference will be held in Ithaca on July 23 if any of the Trustees can attend. New Business The Zoning Board will meet on July 17th at 8:00 PM and the Planning Board will meet July 18th at 8:00 PM. Trustee Treacy commented that in light of the large tax increase, a few merchants have complained to him about the Village's recent request for donations towards the purchase of recycling boxes. He suggested that we ask Gannett newspaper to help pay for these boxes since they already supply numerous municipalities and they pay a large share of the cost. A brief discussion ensued. Trustee Hyland commented that we should see if these boxes are feasible and discuss it at the next work session. Mayor Rey commented that the cable franchise license is up for renewal and would like to discuss this at the work session. The next work session will be held'on August 6, 1991 and the next regular board meeting will be held on August 20th. Public Comments Mr. Kavicky asked about the possibility of paying cable bills at the bank. Trustee Treacy commented that he would be bring this up during negotiations. Dr. Richard Sweet, Chairman of the Conservation Advisory Council, requested a copy of the survey from DOT regarding widening of Route 4 48 and Bedford Road to present to the Council. Dr. Sweet again asked for the Board's support in helping to get N. Tarrytown their share of GM PILOT and commented that we are at a disadvantage due to the fact that the current Board of Education is comprised of only one member from N. Tarrytown and that Tarrytown's population is greater than ours. Executive Session Trustee Timmings moved to adjourn to Executive Session, second by Trustee Alter and motion carried. The Administrator informed the Mayor and Board that he received a letter from Local 4 56 regarding Phelps Memorial sanitation pick up. Discussion ensued but no formal action was taken. Discussion ensued on the early retirement incentive program for eligible Village employees. Trustee Timmings moved to reconvene, seconded by Trustee Nazemetz and motion carried 6-0. Trustee Hyland moved to call for a public hearing on August 6th at 8:00 PM regarding the early retirement incentive program, seconded by Trustee Alter and motion carried 6-0. There being no further business, Trustee Hyland moved to adjourn the meeting, second by Trustee Treacy and motion carried.
