Mayor Rey was in receipt of a memo from Henry Atterbury, Superintendent of Recreation thanking Officer Bob Checchi for all his volunteer efforts and time in helping the Recreation Department in many different projects.(Letter placed in his file) 1 �I I i I Mayor Rey read correspondence from J.J. Lynch, Chief of Plant Security commending Detective Sergeant Manny Caixiero for his assistance in the arrest of a GM employee on drug possession charges. (Letter placed in his file) William Regan was in receipt of correspondence from Rose McManus of New Broadway regarding the ongoing problem she has had with her sewer line. Public Comments-Agenda Items Only Mario Belanich of N. Washington Street wanted to know who the Ford Taurus was for and how much it would cost. The Mayor commented that it was for the General Foreman and the cost was $10,300. which is below what was allocated in the budget. Mr. Belanich wanted to know how many bidders there were for the towing contract. William Regan stated that there were only two bids and Alex Towing was the highest. Sal Donzella of Hudson Terrace asked several questions regarding the DOT resolutions, such as the location of the pipe and which sidewalks would be affected. The Administrator stated that the pipe will be located under County House Road and only the existing sidewalks will be replaced. Sean Treacy of 25 Tappan Avenue commented on the DOT resolutions and the loss of so many trees on Route 448. He felt that the Board should press the issue as far as replacement of all the trees and there should be an agreement with the State regarding the replacement of the sewage line. The Mayor stated that there is a degree of faith with the State with confirmation in writing as far as the replacement of the sewer line. Mr. Treacy praised the Administrator for his work with the County on the extension of the Beekman avenue project. He also wanted to know what the cost would be if the Board signs an agreement with Frederick P. Clark Associates. William Regan commented that they are paid on an hourly rate which is the same as it is now. Sal Donzella suggested that the village look into who is responsible for repairs if pipes break when the State is installing the 20" water main; the Village or the State. Mayor Rey felt that any damage should be covered by the contractor's liability insurance, but Mr. Donzella commented that insurance may only pay for damage done in the area they are working. Mayor's Report Mayor Rey commented that this Friday he and the Administrator will meet with the GM Task Force at Marymount for an update on any progress regarding the closing of General Motors. The Mayor has contacted Duracell to find out the status of the clean up on their property and they have told him there is a small area still to be done which is very minor. 2 �£fs The Mayor commented that the Board will vote tonight to approve the purchase of a vehicle from the State bid for the General Foreman. Administrator's Report William Regan read the Prosecutor's report for December 1992. The Administrator commented that the Recreation Department will have ice skating at Barnhart Park Monday through Friday from 3:3 0PM-5:3 0PM and on Saturday from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM depending on the weather. William Regan read the agendas for the Zoning Board to be held on January 20th at 8:00PM, Planning Board on January 21st at 8:00PM and the Architectural Review Board on January 27th at 8:00 PM. William Regan commented that a memo has been sent to all department heads regarding their 1993-94 budget requests. The Administrator stated that the expenditure report for December 1992 shows our spending is on target. There were two bids for the towing contract; Alex Towing at $12,800. and Dun-Rite Towing at $10,100. William Regan recommended awarding the bid to the highest bidder, Alex Towing. The Administrator recommended a resolution be passed to call for a Special meeting on January 26, 1993 at 7PM to discuss a personnel matter, (Resolution #01-18-93 is attached.) Resolutions-Attached Much discussion ensued on the DOT resolutions. The Mayor commented that he has been in touch with Rosedale Nurseries to secure replacement trees for the ones that will be removed. Sometimes during a landscaping job trees are removed and Rosedale has agreed to give us some of these trees. Trustee Hyland solved and the the problem of Pine Street and commented that the drainage problem has not been State claims is was not cost effective to solve the overflow of the stream behind the house on New Broadway. He will be voting no. Trustee Baderian commented that he has always disliked the idea of this project, but that the State will go ahead with or without our approval; the Village does not have much influence on this project. Trustee Alter commented that by not passing these resolutions, we will be giving the State a message that we are unhappy with their approach to the project. There is not going to be much change in the road, only resurfacing, new sidewalks and widening. By repaving with asphalt instead of concrete, it will be difficult to put grooves in the road to retard slipping. 3 �Trustee Cicchettti commented that several years ago Rockefeller asked the State to widen and repair the road along with several other requests. The CAC objected to the removal of the trees since the project was to be just a remodeling of the road. He felt that it would not make any difference whether the Board voted yes or no on this project. Trustee Hayes wanted to know what roads we would be responsible for maintaining. The Administrator commented just the roads that are in North Tarrytown. After the discussion,resolutions #11-93-93, #11-94-92- #11-95-92 and #11-97-92 failed because there was no second to Trustee Cicehetti's motions. Old Business Trustee Cicchetti reported that the CAC will have an important meeting on January 27th at 8:00 PM and invited any trustee who could attend to come. There will be three representatives from the State present and they will be going over the final stages of the draft resolution for the Local Waterfront Revitalization Project. The responses to the questionnaire have been good. New Business Trustee Alter reported that with regard to recreation programs, there is a change in the day for youth floor hockey to Tuesday nights from 6:30PM-8:0OPM. Public Comments Dr. Richard Sweet of N.Washington Street commented that as a member of the CAC and the Tree Commission that this proposed project was brought up several years ago and the State was told that they needed a permit to cut the trees down. Dr. Sweet commented that we should do as Mike Temple had suggested; that is the that the Board write a document telling him what the Village wants and then the State will decide what they will give us. Sean Treacy congratulated the Board for standing up to the State. He suggested that the Board get a few prices on the drainage study and not just from Frederick Clark Associates. He asked what the Board's intention was with regard to Rosedale Nurseries. The Mayor commented Rosedale would donate trees. Mr. Treacy commented that he has a few hundred bumper stickers which read "North Tarrytown-Historic Past-Great Future". He will leave some at Village Hall for anyone who wishes one. Mr. Treacy announced that there will be a Democratic Primary on Tuesday, January 26, 1992 from 6 AM-9PM at the Restoration. Steve Salman, 3 Lakeview Avenue commented that as a member of the Planning Board he has found Frederick P. Clark Associates to be an exemplary and forthright group. He congratulated the Public Works Department for their great work during the water main breaks. He also commented that in previous years the infrastructure has suffered and is glad to see that this Board 4 �has -taken the problem at hand by not transferring money from the Water Department to the General Fund, but using those funds to upgrade the pipe lines, etc. Mr. Salman agreed with Trustee Baderian that the ten day time period for notice of hearings should be changed to at least fifteen days. Jerry Fine, 150 Harwood Avenue commented that since there is only one main line coming into the Village, the Board should look into this matter. With regard to Frederick Clark Associates, he felt that the drainage problem is not their expertise. He also felt that ten days notice was sufficient as far as the mailing of the zoning board notices by the applicant. Mr. Fine complimented Trustee Hyland for his excellent analysis of the drainage situation. He commented that the bumper stickers Mr. Treacy was speaking of were the invention of his daughter Allison when she was a Trustee. Don Caetano of 27 Lawrence Avenue commented that in some Villages the building department mails the notices for the applicants. He commended the water and fire department for the great work that they did on the water main breaks. Mario Belanich, North Washington Street, commented that since we have almost 64% tax-exempt property on the tax rolls, the Village should put a moratorium on these. Village Attorney commented that he will look into this suggestion as soon as he has time to do so. There being no further comments, Trustee Cicchetti moved to close the public comment section, second by Trustee Alter and carried. Executive Session Trustee Cicchetti moved, second by Trustee Alter to adjourn to executive session to discuss real estate property. Discussion ensued on real property acquisition. There being no further business, Trustee Cicchetti moved, second by Trustee Hyland to adjourn the meeting; motion carried.
