Memo
To:
From:

Subject:

Police Committee

Parking Meters

Recommendation
That the Village take the following coiirse of action regarding meter parking.
i

1.

That all 215 mechanical timingj mechanisms currently in service be replaced with electronic
parking meters.
a.
153 Rhodes meters
i.
Replacement parts have been obtained from the Village of Tarrytown,
however, the re-liability of the mechanical meters in the future would still be
in question.
b.
62 POM meters
!

2.

That the 62 POM meters be retrofitted with new front doors and electronic timing
mechanism. ($ 14,156)

3.

That the Village use the existing Yonkers Parking Authority bid specification for electronic
timing mechanisms to replace ihe remaining 153 mechanical meters ($47,032)

4.

That the new parking lot at 11 r 21 Beekman Ave utilize Multi-Space Parking Meters.(2 units
approx $40,000 total).
a.
Two units must be purchased, if only one unit is purchased and it becomes inoperative
the lot ceases to produce revenue until the unit is repaired.
b.
The two units would sit side by side and both would be in operation at the same time,
if one unit becomes inoperative the other unit can handle parking requirements
without any loss in revenue, until thefirstunit is repaired.
c.
The purchase of the Multi-Space Parking Meters is immediately cost effective if the
lot has more than 125 parking spaces.
d.
The long term cost effectiveness would be based upon
i.
Maintenance of the two Multi-Space Parking Meters,
ii.
Man hours used for enforcement of the parking lot,
ill.
Administrative and logistical costs associated with the individual parking
meters.

Page 1 of 2

�That all the new parking meters be set to accept only Quartejrs.
a.
Reduces the time required to count the money.
b.
Any other coin deposited is lost, without time being plotted.
That the Multi-Space Parking Meters be set to accept both cuarters and dollar bills.

We, the undersigned residentsjaf the Van Tassel apartments, located at 95 Beekman Ave.
Sleepy Hollow, NY, are submitting I his petition as a result of the ongoing disturbances emanating
from patrons of a bar called "Hollywood Nights" located at 111 Beekman Ave. We are deprived of
the quiet enjoyment of our apartments by loud fights, shouting, blaring car radios, gunning car
and motorcycle engines (sometimes accompanied by reckless speeding, sometimes just parked),
The Sleepy Hollow police are frequently called to this location—most recently, there was a
stabbing early in the morning on Saturday , March 25, and at least two people were taken away by
ambulance, but this is merely the most recent of what seems to be weekly disturbances. Almost
every Thursday through Sunday, there is some trouble at this bar or some disturbance in our
neighborhood caused by patrons o this bar.

I

We ask that you give serious consideration to revoke their liquor license
i
If it is not possible to revoke the license, we request that you consider at least the following
actions.
Curtail establishment's hours
Investigate the possibility that t hey are allowing dancing without a cabaret license, and
impose appropriate sanctions.
Asking the Village of Sleepy Hallow to strictly enforce existing laws against patrons of this
bar This would include not on y arresting individuals engaged in fights outside the bar, but
also those individuals who are disturbing the peace in other ways, such as yelling, shouting
and blaring their car radios.
Asking the Village to put a noise ordinance into effect
We trust that you will help restore the quality of life to which we are entitled, and will take firm
action against this nuisance.
Thank you.
