Westchester Joint Water Works - 1985 Capital Improvement Program Mr. Altieri stated that as a matter of procedure, the Westchester Joint Water Works first presents its capital program to the Trustees of the WJWW, but then the approval of the three municipalities is also required. He stated further that the January 1985 capital improvement program calls for joint improvements that all three municipalities would participate in. Mr. Altieri noted that the Town Board, in late 1985, approved the engineering and design studies for two projects so that no action was required by this Board. However, he added, the transmission system improvements were approved by the Village of Mamaroneck and the Town/Village of Harrison, but the program was never sent to the Town of Mamaroneck so that this Board has never acted upon the project. He outlined the three projects and gave a status report on each. Thereafter, on motion by Councilwoman Silverstone, seconded by Councilman Chapin, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the Westchester Joint Water Works to conduct joint improvements for 1985 in accordance with the report on recommended capital improvements submitted by the Westchester Joint Water Works. 2. Designation of Alternate for Westchester Joint Water Works Supervisor Battalia explained that because she is unable to attend the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Westchester Joint Water Works being held on February 25th, this Board must formally adopt a resolution appointing an alternate to attend said meeting. On motion by Councilman Chapin, seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that Councilwoman Caroline Silverstone is hereby appointed to act in Supervisor Battalia's place and in her stead at a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Westchester Joint Water Works, to be held at 1625 Mamaroneck Avenue, Mamaroneck, New York, on Tuesday, February 25, 1986 with full powers to vote pursuant to Section 6124 of the Unconsolidated Laws of the State of New York. 3.

I WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS There were no written or oral communications to come before the Board. Supervisor Battalia questioned Steve, Altieri about what preparations were being made for the closing of the Weaver Street Bridge in late spring or early summer. Mr. Altieri replied that the Village of Larchmont is unhappy about the detour route and had been in touch with the State. He further added that their last request was for the State to provide funding for police officers to direct traffic during peak hours, to which the State's response was that because it does not constitute an emergency, funding is not available. Supervisor Battalia suggested that a letter, jointly signed by the Town and Village, be sent to Senator Oppenheimer and Senator Tocci requesting their assistance in dealing with the State. She also suggested that all emergency services, Police and Fire Departments, VAC and Rescue Squad, meet in order to formulate plans for coverage when the Bridge is closed. i THE SUPERVISOR Reports Supervisor Battalia reported on the public hearing to be held on February 27, 1986 extending the moratorium on the Interim Development Law to September 1, 1986.
