Summer camp orientation was held on May 18th, men's softball is in progress; teen dances are being held twice a month and have been very successful. A light was installed at Friendship Park by our highway department; this should help alleviate some of the problems we are experiencing at that park. Signs will also be installed.

The Anti-Noise and Litter Committee met last week with Sgt.Caixiero to discuss enforcing the laws with regard to noise and litter and many other concerns. Residents should call the police anytime they have a complaint of this sort. Trustee Hayes commented that the Mayor and Trustees attended a Fire Department Memorial mass on Sunday at St. Teresa's church and breakfast at the fire house after mass. The Library Board held their organization meeting on May 20th and will discuss fund raising techniques at their next meeting.

The ARB will meet on June 23, 1993. He reported that we have received price quotes for the painting of the ambulance building, new floor and repair to overhead door. The lowest quote for painting was $895. Only one price quote was received for new floor and door repair. We are hoping to have the work done by the end of June. The police are doing a survey of buildings in the village to see if the number on the buildings comply with the new law that was passed. Owners will be notified if they are not. 911 goes into effect on July 12th and the numbering of buildings is very important. The size of the numbers should be no less than 3 inches. Mr. Regan commented that he will be attending a meeting of MEBCO on June 17th and will report back to the Board with any new information. The expenditure report through May 21st shows we have underspent the budget. Resolutions-Attached Old Business Mayor Treacy stated public hearings had been previously held on the proposal of a Local Law to prohibit the installation and maintenance of pay telephones on the exterior of buildings in a C-l and C-2 zoning district.

Public Comments Ugo Checchi, 51 College Avenue asked about the proposed purchase of the 52 College Avenue building. Mayor Treacy commented that a group called ARCH would like to rehabilitate the building for affordable housing for local residents with incomes of approximately $25,000.-$40,000. but they would have to go for a variance. Mr. Checchi hoped that the Board would do everything in their power to see that all ordinances are followed before this building is rehabilitated. The Mayor stated that the Zoning Board has this power and will do whatever must be done. 4 �Miguel Jiminez showed the Board a portion of the awning torn off from his store and commented there is also graffiti all over his building. He urged the Board to enforce a tougher penalty for the kids who are destroying property. The Mayor commented any person caught putting graffiti on a building is subject to a summons or even arrest. Mario Belanich commented on the Trustee committees and felt that certain Trustees have too much responsibility and others do not have enough. The Mayor commented that he has had no complaints from the Trustees. Don Caetano asked about the Hyland lawsuit. The Mayor stated that all he could say was the Board voted to indemnify him. Our Village Attorney stated that this is a litigation matter and can not be discussed. Armando Galella commented that the lighting in the village needs to be updated and would like the Board have Con Ed do a survey of the street lights and have the trees trimmed that are blocking the lighting, especially Depeyster, Broadway and Valley Streets. Mr. Galella asked if the Administrator still held a part time job; the Mayor responded No. Frank Rey commented that the lot on the corner of Beekman and Clinton Street looks like a junk yard and commented that he heard the DEC had ordered the old Con Ed building sealed so that no more work could be done on it. Mayor Treacy stated that he will have the Building Inspector follow up on the junkyard and the bricks on the side of the Cortlandt Street building are not contaminated and building has not been ordered sealed by the DEC. The Department of Labor has found a very small amount of asbestos in the building and the Church has hired a licensed company to remove the asbestos. Mr. Rey suggested that the Church not be granted a tax-exempt status since we already have a 64% tax-exempt status and proposed that the Board pass a resolution to provide for no further application for tax exemption for non profit status. Donal Walsh stated that the Village does not have power of the New York State tax law to make a decision as to whether or not something is an exempt entity. Miguel Jiminez commented that there is a need for a church in this area for the Spanish people. Mario Belanich commented that a garbage container is needed at Sykes Park and a line should be painted down the center of Cortlandt street coming out of Clinton down Cortlandt. 5 �Ugo Checchi asked why the benches at the corner of Beekman and Pocantico Street were removed; the Mayor stated that the youths were creating a nuisance in that area and at the suggestion of the Anti-Noise and Litter Committee, they were removed.

Respectfully submitted, Angela Everett Deputy Village Clerk 6 �ll PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE VILLAGE OF NORTH TARRYTOWN PLEASE TAKE NOTICE the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, June 1, 1993 at 8 o'clock p.m. in Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, North Tarrytown, New York to hear and consider a proposed Local Law to amend the Code of the Village of North Tarrytown to prohibit tattooing in the Village of North Tarrytown except for medical purposes. Section I FINDINGS: It has been the experience of other municipalities that tattooing has led to increased cases of serum hepatitis. It has also been their experience that regulatory measures have proved ineffective in eliminating this health risk because of the inability to supervise tattooing establishments at all times. The Village of North Tarrytown also lacks the resources and personnel to supervise tattooing establishments on an ongoing basis. Accordingly,the Board of Trustees finds that in this Village as in other communities, a ban on tattooing except for medical purposes is the only feasible means of protecting the public against disease from this source. Section II PROHIBITION ON TATTOOING: It shall be unlawful for any person to tattoo a human being within the Village of North Tarrytown except that tattooing may be performed for medical purposes by a person licensed or otherwise authorized pursuant to the Education Law to practice medicine or osteopathy. Section III EFFECTIVE DATE: immediately. This Local Law shall be effective All taxpayers, residents and parties in interest are entitled to attend and be heard at said hearing.
