Trustee Hyland commented that he, Trustees Blanco and Horecky had resolutions to call for public hearings on May 17th to amend sections of our village code. One was to amend the code to make Howard Street street a one-way street from Kendall Avenue extension eastbound to Pocantico Street, another to amend the code to require all garbage receptacles to be enclosed and out of sight or view from the street, another to amend the code for no parking on the south side of Howard Street from Kendall Avenue extension, to Pocantico Street on the east. The Mayor stated that discussion usually takes place at work sessions before public hearings are called so that the Board can consult with department heads such as the Police Chief and the General Foreman before calling for a public hearing. He asked that these proposals be, put on the next work session agenda so the Board could consider these with information on hand. 1 �Trustee Jeffers wanted to pass a resolution whereby the Board of Trustees creates the office of Village Prosecutor whereby the Board will seek a qualified attorney for the position, effective immediately. Trustee Hyland moved that the Board vote on this resolution and those to call for the public hearings. The Mayor commented that we have not reached the resolution portion of the agenda yet and we have not dispensed with that portion of the agenda. Trustee Hyland commented that they presented them, but will wait for the resolution portion to vote on them. On the motion to dispense with certain portions of the meeting, motion was carried. Committee Appointments Mayor Treacy commented that there are different methods of appointments; some are strictly the Mayors, others are the Mayors with Board approval and others are just the Board's appointments. Trustee Jeffers commented that if there are any problems with any appointments, we should agree that these be placed in the hands of the Attorney General. Mayor Treacy stated that he had no problems with any appointments the Board of Trustees may make and any appointment he makes that needs Board's approval. All the sections of the local ordinance or state code that these appointments pertain to is written down and he stated he will follow these laws to the letter. He suggested that Trustee Jeffers take any of the appointments that the Mayor will make tonight to any attorney to check. Mayor Treacy then reappointed Andres J. Valdespino as Acting Village Justice which is a Mayoral appointment. Trustee Jeffers commented that he thought the Board voted on this j appointment last year and wanted to know why they couldn't vote this year. ' The Mayor commented that it is a Mayoral appointment and he does not need the Board's approval. Trustees Hyland and Jeffers wanted to vote on each appointment and if they find out the Mayor was correct, the appointment will stand. The Mayor stated that he would not entertain an illegal vote; there is no reason to vote on this appointment. He commented that they could voice their protest against what he is doing and they have the power to sue the Mayor if they think what he is doing is not correct. The Mayor commented that these appointments are written in black and white and he is just following the law. If the law states appointment by the Board of Trustees, then the Mayor would have nothing to say about it. �Trustees Jeffers commented that he is trying to retain and/or gain trustee powers, just as the' Mayor is trying to retain Mayoral powers. Trustee Jeffers commented that they should move to table the appointments. The Mayor stated that Trustee Jeffers did not have that power. More discussion ensued between the Mayor and Trustees Jeffers and Hyland regarding which law should be used, village or state, for example appointments to the Zoning Board. The Mayor commented that the state law is used if the village has not adopted a local law. The Mayor commented that in 1988 the village adopted a local law whereby each appointment to the Zoning Board is made by the Mayor and any vacancy to the Board is also made by the Mayor. Mayor Treacy commented that the Board has the power to hire an attorney if they feel that the Mayor is doing something illegal. Trustee Hyland commented that in the past, it was customary to sit down with new trustees and bring them up to date on village business. Mayor Treacy commented that he met with Trustee Horecky and tried to meet with Trustee Blanco but for some reason they could not get together. More discussion ensued but no agreements on the issues could be reached. Trustee Hyland made a motion to go onto the next order of business. The Mayor did not recognize the motion and continued with his appointments. Trustee Jeffers moved, second by Trustee Hyland to adjourn the meeting; the Mayor did not recognize the motion. Trustees Jeffers, Hyland, Blanco and Horecky then left the meeting. George Samaras, a resident of North Tarrytown started shouting from the audience and was asked to leave by the Mayor if he did not quiet down. At a future date the Mayor stated that he will bring up the Mayoral appointments that need the Board's approval and hope the Trustees will have their appointments ready. Since there was not a quorum present to approve minutes, warrants and resolutions, the Mayor entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting, Trustee Alter so moved, second by Trustee Hayes and meeting was adjourned.
