Mrs. Helwig then called on Councilman Faiola who placed in nomination the name of Alfred C. Viebranz of 49 Eton Road, Town, for appointment to the Commission reviewing his particular qualifications and abilities in some detail although remarking this might be superfluous in view of his former eleven years of service on the Commission. He stated further that Mr. Viebranz had re- tired from the Commission in January of 1968 and shortly after that, had been appointed a member of the Board of the Westchester County Parkway Police where he served until September 1971, and with great pleasure moved his appointment.

PRESENTATION - Members of School Board With the consent of the Board, the Supervisor at this time deferred further business to present and welcome Mr. Richard Mumma and Mr. Henry Allen, retiring President and Vice President of the School Board. Messrs. Mumma and Allen in a formal presentation using large charts to graphically show that inflation was causing school expenditures to go up at a rate faster than the over-burdened taxpayers could continue to provide revenues for, stressed the need to increase the tax base and put up a stronger defense in certiorari proceedings. During the past six years Mr. Mumma pointed out that expenditures had steadily increased while revenues had decreased, and he declared that if something were not done, the municipalities would soon find themselves in the same bind as the School Board. Partly responsible for the lowering of the tax base, he said, were the certiorari proceedings in which property owners, mainly apartment-house owners, were obtaining lower assessments through their appeals to the courts, which had already resulted in a loss of $237,000. in income to the School District. He further stated two million dollars in certiorari proceeding was now pending in the Town on which were one million dollars to be granted in relief, it would mean a loss of $65,000. revenue to the School District. Also cited as possible causitives for further lowering of the base were two new bills -- one of which increased the income exemption allowance for elderly property owners from $5,000. to $6,000. a year and the other extended this exemption to elderly apartment-house residents. In concluding the presentation, the need for broadening the tax base was emphasized with one suggestion for getting suitable businesses into: the Town -- and with all i 10 - /A) in agreement that certainly the Boards needed to work together toward finding a solution to the problem. Mrs. Paula Willey Mrs. Willey, upon recognition, addressed the Board commending the June 16th message re glass collection and inquiring whether there had been an increase in the collection? Mrs . Helwig in answering stated that the collection had in- creased and that the Mayor and she were most grateful for the citizens` cooperation and were now working on plans to provide for the glass to be picked up in cases where persons wished to cooperate:'but were unable to take their glass to the collection bins.
