Councilman Vandernoot echoed the Supervisor's sentiments but added that the acceptance was also a real pleasure - inasmuch as this resignation was tendered only because of his appointment to the Federal bench as a Judge of the United States District Court a great honor indeed and he therefore moved its regretful and reluctant acceptance with thanks, gratitude and God speed to Judge Gagliardi in his new assignment.

Letter re Appointment of Director Larchmont Library For the Board's information, the Clerk read the following let- ter addressed to the Supervisor by Donald Oresman, Chairman of the Larchmont Library Board of Trustees, dated January 10th, 1972, and herewith ordered received and filed: "I just wanted you to know beforehand that the Library Board, after a careful search for a successor to Mary Clark as Director, is going to appoint Mrs. Honora Dougherty at its meet- ing Wednesday night. Mrs. Dougherty has been on the Library staff since 1957 and became Assistant Director in 1967. She was strongly recommended by Miss Clark as well as a number of others who have worked with her through the years. In addition, - 6 - the Library Board has had a full opportunity to assess her capabilities. As a public institution, the Library Board felt strongly that it also had to make a reasonable canvass of other qualified people. That canvass failed to turn up anyone of comparable quality." The Supervisor directed that the foregoing letter be received and filed with a note expressing the Board's congratulations and well wishes forwarded to Mrs. Dougherty, the new Librarian. 6. Letter from State re Scheuble request At the Supervisor's request the Clerk read into the record the following letter addressed to her by J. F. May, Civil Engineer, New York State Department of Transportation under date of January 14th, 1972, in reply to the request of Mr. Otto Scheuble of 4 Rock Ridge Road for the installation of "Stop Here on Red" sign on the Boston Post Road: "This is in reference to your letter of January 7, 1972 concerning the use of a sign bearing the legend "Stop Here on Red Light" at Rock Ridge Road and Route 1. This type of sign does not conform to the New York State Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and therefore, is not for use on a State Highway. The signal located at Route 1 and Weaver Street should provide gaps in the Route 1 traffic to permit the maneuvers mentioned in the letter. I have received the accident information for Route 125 and Forest Avenue from Chief Staropoli, and when I have acquired the additional informa- tion, I will be in touch with you. Thank you for your interest." The Supervisor advised the Board that a copy of the fore- going letter would be forwarded to Mr. Scheuble for his information. 7. Letter from County Department Environmental Facilities A letter addressed to the Engineer by Joseph P. LaVigna, Supervisor of Design and Construction of the Westchester County Department of Environmental Facilities, dated Janu- ary 14th, 1972, regarding the Fifth Avenue Pumping Station, New Rochelle, was herewith presented and ordered received and filed for the record. 7 - 8. Notice of Meeting - Larchmont Zoning Board (Montessori Application) The Supervisor advised the Board that the Zoning Board meeting in Larchmont was being attended this evening by a member of the Planning Board who would report on the matter of the Montessori School application. Mr. Peter D. Mosher - 17 Chatsworth Avenue Upon recognition, Mr. Mosher requested the Supervisor to go back to Communications Item #7 inquiring whether the long existing serious back-up sewerage problem in the Fifth Avenue area would be completely relieved by this proposed construction of a new pumping station and reconstruction of the trunk sewer from Lester Place to the site of the new station? In replying Mrs. Helwig advised Mr. Mosher that Mr. Kellogg, presently serving as the Town's Consultant Engineer, and Mr. Aitchi- son, Highway Superintendent, would look at the design and construction plans with Mr. LaVigna of the County in the very near future and she further assured Mr. Mosher that while the Board thanked him for his interest, it was indeed very much aware of the problem at the Lester Place location, and that it was because of this the County was inviting the Town's Engineer to meet with its Engineer to review the proposed plans. THE SUPERVISOR The Supervisor inquired whether anyme else wished to address the Board on any matter at this time -- where- upon Mr. Mosher again spoke 'questioning the expendi- ture of $30,000, by the Board for the not-yet-completed codification of all ordinances. The Supervisor in replying to Mr. Mosher said, "first the expenditure was $8,000. not $30,000. ," and she then called on Mr. Paonessa to bring Mr. Mosher up to date on the present status. Mr. Paonessa stated that the Town is in the process of engaging an Attorney who will review the drafts already prepared by the Building Inspector and the Town Attorney in relation to the State Building Code. After this has been done and a report made, the implementation of the final work product will be submitted to the codifica- tion people so that hopefully their entire work product can be adopted. - 8 - b� Mr. Mosher said that he did not consider this a satis- factory answer since it was the same as he had heard for the past six years. He also claimed that one could not get certified copies of any ordinances at the present time, which Mr. Gronberg, the Town Clerk, said was not so as certified copies of any and all of the Town Ordi- nances were available to anyone at any time at his office. RECESS Since the Town Attorney requested that Councilman Vandernoot be excused for a moment at this time in con- nection with the PBA negotiations meeting being held at Police Headquarters, the Supervisor declared that the Board would now recess for a period of five minutes. MEETING RECONVENED The Supervisor declared the meeting reconvened at this time and requested the Clerk to proceed with the next item on the agenda. REPORTS The Town Clerk -- The Clerk presented the following reports which were ordered received and filed: Report of the Town Clerk for the month of December 1971 Annual report of the Building and Plumbing Inspector for the year 1971. The Supervisor -- 1. Hearing, New Haven Railroad The Supervisor announced that she would attend the M.T.A. Hearing on the New Haven tomorrow to present a Statement of Objection to the proposed restructured fares on behalf of the Town. She further stated that appended to this Statement would be copies of Statements previously made before the I.C.C. , P.S.C. , etc. 2. Report - U. D. C. The Supervisor reported very briefly on the meeting:of the Westchester Association of Town Supervisors with Mr. Edward Logue of the Urban Development Corporation - in Mr. Michaelian`s office last Thursday since the new U. D. C. policy of providing 900 housing units in the 18 Towns in Westchester County had been so thoroughly covered in the local press. She advised the Board that she had registered an objection - 9 - .._ __.... .__.. �. to having U. D. C. deal with towns separately from villages and/or cities as it might be that a particu- lar community could end up with three separate units each having 100 apartments within its total boundaries. Councilman Bloom asked how the nine towns were to be chosen? Mrs. Helwig replied that she did not know but that she had gotten the impression that they had already -- been selected and presumed such selection would have been made on the availability of adequate land, trans- portation facilities, accessibility of schools, etc. She concluded by reporting that a question regarding provision for senior citizens had been asked and answered to the effect that 10% would be available to senior citi- zens. She also explained that this project was described as a private moderate rent housing program but would be tax exempt and in accord with U. D. C. 's request that each town meet with it in the very near future, that she had telephoned to request that such an appointment be arranged for this Board. 3. Board Appointments The Supervisor stated that she would like the Board's approval of new assignments as follows : Councilman White succeeding Councilman Nagel as liaison to the Larchmont Library, Councilman Vandernoot liaison to CAP, and Councilman Faiola liaison to the Volunteer Ambulance Corps, which were thereupon unanimously so approved. The Councilmen -- Mr. Vandernoot -- 1.

Family and Youth Directory of Services Councilman Vandernoot stated that he would like to present for the information of all present a letter addressed to the Board by Mrs. Elaine Samuels, Chairman of the Larchmont- Mamaroneck Committee on Family and Youth, under date of December 31st, 1971, reading as follows : "The Larchmont-Mamaroneck Committee on Family and Youth has been working on a comprehensive directory of services available in our area to all family members. The plan is to distribute the directory free to every home in the community, to be kept and used as a reference like the Chamber of Commerce phone book. Services included are: Counseling in drug abuse, alchoholism, legal aid, draft information, and employment; the "Hot Line", medical and psychological services, human rights, social and recreational opportunities for youth --- and senior citizens and many others. Every agency involved in assisting with problems of families and youth is listed. Many community leaders have urged the Family and Youth Committee to produce such a directory, be- - 11 - cause there is no central source for problem assistance in our area. The Family and Youth Committee has spent many months researching, organizing and compiling this directory, to be known as "The Redbook", and is pleased to offer it as a community service. -- However, the cost of publication and distri- bution, nearly $2,000. , exceeds the financial capabilities of the Committee. Since this is a service which will benefit everyone, and which recognizes a community need, we are ask- ing you to help us defray the cost. We NEED your financial support and hope you will give this undertaking your most serious considera- tion." Councilman Vandernoot stated that he had talked to Oscar Birch and had been advised that the Committee was soliciting aid from the two Villages as well as the Town. He further said that it would seem to him that if at all possible, the Town should do what it could to assist the Committee in meeting the cost of this publication which surely would be a great service to the entire community. Councilman Faiola expressed some concern about whether this would be legal and Councilman Bloom about whether the Board would approve of everything in the publica- tion, whereupon it was directed that the request be referred to the Attorney for study and report to the Board. Town Attorney -- 1. Cancellation of New Haven Taxes The Attorney presented a memorandum addressed to him by the Receiver of Taxes on December 23rd, 1971 requesting cancellation of the 1971 Town taxes assessed against the Railroad pursuant to a directive from the State of New York, which was herewith ordered received and filed for the record, Mr. Mosher, speaking from the floor, inquired what happened if the Board did not authorize this cancella- tion to which question the Attorney replied that probably the Town of Mamaroneck would find itself in the position the Town of Rye had found itself in -- namely, at the other end of a law suit. Mr. Mosher asked what happened when the New Haven went into bankruptcy since he understood there was very little chance of anyone receiving any redress for injury. He further asked when the Railroad went from the New Haven to the Penn Central and then to the M.T.A. whether any provision had been made in State legislation? The Attorney stated that he believed the M.T.A. was a - 12 - Y2...� self- insurer like the New York Subway System and there- upon since there was no further question, on motion by Councilman Vandernoot, seconded by Councilman Bloom, the following resolution was offered: RESOLVED, that this Board hereby author- izes Leo N. Orsino, Receiver of Taxes of the Town of Mamaroneck, to cancel the following 1971 Town taxes assessed against the Railroad pursuant to directive issued by the State of New York: Block Parcel Amount 216 783 $ 1,454.98 605 509 1,084.44 905 303 2,336.36 Total $ 4,875.78 2. Home Rule Request for Legislation Prohibiting Hunting Wild Fowl in Larchmont Harbor The Attorney requested the Supervisor's authorization of the resolution herewith presented requesting an amendment to the State Conservation Law to prohibit hunting of migratory game birds in Larchmont Harbor, drafted by him with the assistance of Senatory Anthony B. Gioffre who had agreed to introduce the Home Rule Request in the Senate. --- He further stated that he had had a request for a copy of the resolution from Assemblyman Pisani so that he could introduce the measure simultaneously in the Assembly. Councilman Bloom noted that the petition from residents of the area who had requested the hunting ban had re- cited three bases for objection: danger, noise and conservation and proposed therefor since the resolution offered covered only conservation that the word "hunting" be changed to "shooting" or "discharging firearms". Several residents speaking from the floor endorsed the requested change to "shooting" and also requested that "noise pollution" be included in the proposed resolution, whereupon the Attorney pointed out that "noise" was not germane to the Conservation Law on hunting and that there were Ordinances on noise and firearms which could be enforced on citizen complaints. He also reported that Mr. Rooney, Mamaroneck Village Attorney, with whom he had consulted, had approved the resolution with the one stipulation that there be no ban on shooting since that Village permitted trap shooting; and that Larchmont Village had indicated its approval of the hunting ban pending approval by the Board after its study. in reply to a question from the floor, the Attorney - 13 - explained that the Town could proceed with this Home Rule Request without the support of the Villages be- cause land beneath the water belonged to the Town. Councilman Faiola thereon suggested that the Attorney consult with Senator Gioffre on the proposed language change and moved authorization of the resolution as , herein presented or as amended in accordance with the Senator's advice. The motion was seconded by Council- man White and the following resolution thereupon unani- mously adopted: RESOLVED, that the Supervisor be and she hereby is authorized and directed to request by way of a Home Rule Request, a modifica- tion to the Conservation Law of the State of New York, specifically to Section 245 thereof, so as to prohibit the hunting of migratory birds in those portions of Larchmont Harbor as specifically set forth in the following description: BEGINNING at a point known as Umbrella Point on the east shore of Larchmont Harbor then proceed- ing in a northerly direction to Cedar Island; thence northwesterly to Monroe Inlet; thence northeast- erly to Delaney Cove being in the . Town of Mamaroneck; thence in a southwesterly direction from Delaney Cove to Greacen Point; thence running the area between Delaney Cove and the west shore of Satans Toe northeast; thence southeast then along the west shore of Satans Toe southwest and then south to the southerly point of Satans Toe to Edgewater Point. THE SUPERVISOR The Supervisor reported in view of the Comptroller's inability to get over to this meeting that since he had advised her this morning that the CAP Agreement was in order, she believed that action could properly be taken at this time and thereupon inquired the Board's pleasure. Whereupon on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby approves the suggested Agreement for the Mamaroneck Community Action Program as more specifically set forth in the communication signed by Joseph L. Green, Area Director, under date of January 12th, 1972, herewith presented and ordered received and filed as part of the record of this meeting. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the meet- - 14 - ing, on motion duly made and seconded, it was declared adjourned at 9:20 p.m. , to reconvene on February 2nd, 1972. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS The meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners was convened immediately upon the adjournment of the Town Board meeting. 1.
