2. Authorization - Prepare Specifications and Accept
Proposals for Fire Apparatus
I
Commissioner Battalia presented a request from the Fire
Department for authorization to replace Engine #37.
Town Administrator, Stephen V. Altieri, read the
proposal wherein it was noted that refurbishing the
present engine would be more costly than purchasing a
new one. Mr. Altieri stated that portions of the
vehicle would have to be redesigned to meet certain
safety specifications and this would involve major
construction for which the cost would be prohibitive.
Commissioner Chapin inquired as to whether the Fire
Department actually needed a new vehicle.
Commissioner Lerman responded that it is necessary in
order to meet the Town's needs. He added that if two
fires occurred simultaneously, there would be a
problem. He also mentioned the fact that home-owner
fire insurance rates would be more reasonable, but more
importantly that it is a safety measure for person and
property.

Morgenroth, P.E. appeared and presented the proposed
application to move a boundary line to compensate for the
extension of Section "K" of the Mamaroneck Sewer District
#1 which is to be installed by the developer.
Mr. Maker asked that a public hearing be called on the
proposal to extend the sewer district. He stated the Town
would benefit from the proposed plan, there being no cost
to the Town involved.
Town Attorney, Mr. Steven M. Silverberg, commented that a
re-evaluation of taxes would have to be done once the
sewers are completed since residents who will not be
connected, cannot be expected to pay for what they are not
receiving.
Councilman Amlicke questioned the construction of the sewer
system and wanted to know what specifications would have to
be followed and who would assure that it meets the highest
standards.
Mr. Morgen explained that the design was submitted to the
Planning Board and approved by the Consulting Engineer to
the Town. He also stated that once they approve it, it is
returned to them for final approval. Mr. Morgen also
mentioned that The Westchester County Department of Health
has to approve it before it is dedicated.

Councilman Amlicke

decision not to sell the Town's Court property and an
alternative has been developed by which revenue may be
generated to the Town. He stated that leasing the
property to The Little School would be that alternative
and that the building will be completely refurbished so
that the Town would not have to concern itself with the
maintenance.
After further clarification by Mr. Altieri, Mr.

seconded by Councilman Lerman, with Councilman Chapin

at 325!" and this, as well as all other planned
concerts, would be free.
Supervisor Battalia offered that these were nice summer
events for the Community and well worth the funds being
requested.
Councilwoman Silverstone questioned whether they could
use surplus funds.
Councilman Lerman stated that the Board would have to
make some funds available since it was their intention
to fund the Council of the Arts to some extent. He
then inquired as to what amount the Council was
requesting to which Ms. Molinari responded that the
amount is $1,500 but they would gladly accept more!

there are as many sales tax proposals as there are
Legislators.
Councilwoman Silverstone questioned whether the County
had voted to pass the Brady Plan and what the status of
it was to which Legislator Keane responded that it
would have to be passed by all the Legislators and to
the best of her knowledge, some do not support it.
Supervisor Battalia inquired as to whether there is a
proposal for an increase in sales tax before the County
Legislators at this time to which Legislator Keane
replied that there was nothing specific she was aware
Of.
After further discussion, Supervisor Battalia indicated
the Board's desire for a final version of the Village
Officials' plans regarding any proposed changes, in
property tax deductions and the increase in sales taxes
that have been proposed. She directed the Town Clerk
to place this on the agenda for June 4th and to inform
the Chamber of Commerce that the sales tax would be
discussed at that meeting.
At this time, the order of the agenda was resumed and Item
#2 under Affairs of the Town was taken up.
2. Authorization - Prepare Specifications & Accept
Proposals re: Street Sweeping Contract.
Mr. Altieri stated that by contracting street sweeping
services, it would eliminate the cost time required for
the necessary maintenance and also the cost of an
operator for the vehicle. He added that the Town has
no backup piece of equipment in case of failure.
Councilman Lerman suggested that the Town Administrator
prepare the necessary specifications for proposals for
a street sweeping contract and on his motion, seconded
by Councilman Amlicke it was unanimously
RFSaVED, that this Board hereby

NOT ON THE AGENDA
At this time, Supervisor Battalia noted it was
necessary to fill a vacancy on the Conservation
Advisory Commission.

Bernstein, 871 Port Drive, Mamaroneck, be appointed to

and proposed that the Town Board amend the on-street,
overnight parking ordinance to which Supervisor
Battalia responded the matter will be referred to the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Mr. Robert Wassman appeared and asked whether any
details were available regarding the water problem the
Town recently experienced. He said that no water was
available at all in a very wide range of the Town and
that this meant there was no fire protection.
Mr. Altieri stated that in a call he received yesterday
from Mr. Hock of the Joint Water Works, it was his
understanding that the problem did not relate to a lack
of water supply but rather low water pressure in the
system. He went on to say that the Joint Water Works
is now checking all of the main valves and that the low
water pressure was of an undetermined origin.
Mr. Bloom inquired as to what steps were being taken to
remedy the current situation at the Gardens Lake to
which Mr. Altieri informed Mr. Blown and the Board that
the Town Engineering Consultant, Malcolm Pirnie, was
investigating alternatives for dredging the lake.
