Resolutions-Attached Public Comments Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Horecky to open the public comment section, carried. Mr. Kavicky suggested that we share the ferry dock that Tarrytown has and wanted the police to enforce the full stop sign at the corner of Kendall and Howard Street especially when GM is coming out of work. He also mentioned a few places where metal was missed. The Mayor commented that we would like people to come into North Tarrytown to shop so we should have our own dock. We will have the police enforce the full stop and he will check with the General Foreman regarding the missed metal. Dr. Richard Sweet wanted more information regarding resolution #03/34/95. He wanted to know if work on the Riverfront park would start before we have all the money and if there should be an increase in the amount, will the village have to bare the extra expense. Mayor Treacy commented that we will be going out to bid before we start any work on the park. Mr. Galella asked if the overrun can be controlled by putting a cap on the bids; the Mayor responded yes. John Cellante expressed his concerns over the parking problems on Cortlandt Street and wanted to know when this was going to be addressed. He wanted to know why there wasn't a public hearing tonight. Mayor Treacy commented that the Administrator wrote Mr. Cellante a letter asking exactly what he wanted from the Board to ally your fears that the Village does assume responsibility for the volunteer fire department and the risks associated with driving trucks, etc. The public hearing was cancelled due to the fact that the resolution to call for one did not pass. The Board has done alot to help the situation such as spending money on a traffic study and increasing fines for double parking. Mr. Galella wanted to know if the proposed budget was available to the public; the Mayor commented yes. 2 •*^w^?cfM<w^rortWWlCWi•^y!,,y^,,'•'•'f.'•^••. �! Trustee Horecky commented to the public that the budget was drafted by the Mayor without any input from the trustees and when he asked the Administrator why the Board of Trustees had not been contacted on the budget, she commented that this is the Mayor's budget. Mayor Treacy explained the budget process. Trustee Hyland commented that the Mayor increased the budget last year, not the Board and that the Board always had input in the proposed budget in the past. George Samaras asked if this budget was official; the Mayor responded no. Mr. Galella commented that years ago the Board of Trustees would sit down with the Treasurer on the proposed budget. Trustee Horecky stated that it was outrageous that the Mayor would not let the Board have any input on the proposed budget and commented that the budget was not available to the public that day because the doors were locked. Discussion ensued among the trustees and the Mayor regarding the budget process. Mayor Treacy commented that the budget process has always been the same and the NYCOM handbook states that the Board reviews the tentative budget to make any necessary changes. Trustee Horecky asked the Mayor if this is the handbook that the Mayor says has no jurisdiction over this Board anytime a law is constituted in there. The Mayor commented it is not. Trustee Alter commented that the new mandate is that the budget must be released by March 20th. Don Caetano commented that the trustees will have their say in the budget. Trustee Blanco commented that everything must be made clear to the public on how the budget process works. The Mayor explained the budget process and commented that the Board then reviews the tentative budget. Henrietta Brand commented that she sympathizes with the parking problem on Cortlandt Street but there has been a great influx of people moving into that area and parking is at a premium. Mr. Galella commented that there is alot of garbage piled up at the corner of Beekman Avenue and Washington Street and that the Administrator should ride around the village and see the garbage that is around. Linda David commented that the garbage truck broke down this week which could account for this. 3 �There being no further comments from the public, Trustee Horecky moved, second by Trustee Alter to close the public comment section, carried. Old Business-None New Business Mayor Treacy read the attached Public Works report. Mayor's Report Mayor Treacy congratulated the newly elected candidates and commented there was a heavy voter turnout this year. The Mayor commented that the proposed budget was released on March 20th; homestead rate shows a 4.79% increase and non-homestead rate shows a 3.42% increase. He commented that this is a very lean budget of $5,960,436. There are no cuts in services. The increase in the budget is due mainly to labor contract costs. The Mayor commented that he is concerned that the Administrator is being targeted for something and felt that she is doing a capable job. The Mayor attended a meeting of the Historic River Towns last week. Trustee's Report Trustee Hayes reported that the Library Board will meet Thursday, March 2 3rd. There was no fire report. Trustee Hyland had no report. Trustee Horecky read attached correspondence from the Board of Fire Wardens. He commented that he shares the concerns of Mr. Cellante that Cortlandt Street has a high density population and he felt that the Planning and Zoning Boards failed to address this problem initially. Trustee Horecky commended the Police Department on their quick response to calls he made to them as far as disturbances throughout the village. Trustee Blanco reported that First Fidelity Bank will be holding a seminar on April 19th at the COC from 6:30PM-8PM for first time homeowners. Trustee Blanco made a formal request for a list of all village employees who are not under union contracts, salary, benefits, qualifications, etc. to see about the possible reduction in personnel since the budget is so tight. This will be discussed at the work session. Trustee Alter stated that he would like to resume the discussion on the Cable franchise agreement at the next work session.

Trustee Hyland commented that the Mayor and Trustee Alter had promised the Union Hose firemen at the last work session that they would call for a public hearing, but then at the regular meeting the Mayor and Trustees Alter and Hayes voted against the public hearing. More discussion ensued between Trustee Hyland and Trustee Alter. Trustee Alter commented that he was told by several residents in that area that they were against the removal of parking spaces.
