ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING - Local Law No. 3-1970 Code of Ethics On motion by Councilman Bloom, seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the hearing be and it hereby is declared open. The Supervisor welcomed Mr. Albert Gaynor and Mrs. Pierce Mc Creary, members of the Ethics Committee, who were present this evening. At the Supervisor's request, Councilman Bloom, Liaison to the Committee, briefly outlined the purposes of the proposed Code, explaining that the reason for having such a Code and for the fast scheduling of its adoption was because this year the Governor had signed a Law requiring every municipality to adopt such a Code no later than July 1st of 1970. Therefore, the Board had appointed a Committee to prepare such a Code for the Town, and upon submission thereof, had fixed the date - 1 - 2 of June 17th for the hearing thereon, which due to certain legal technicalities, had had to be adjourned to this date. Councilman Bloom then asked Messers. Johnston and Gaynor whether they had anything to add -- whereupon Mr. Gaynor stated only that the proposed Code had been submitted in the hope that it would meet the requirements of the Board and that the Committee had been helpful. The Supervisor then inquired whether there were any other com- ments, and since not, stated that first those in favor of the Code, then those in opposition thereto, would be heard. Since no one spoke either in favor of or in opposition to the proposed Code, the Supervisor asked if there were any questions about the Code, and since there were not, on motion by Council- man Faiola, seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unani- mously RESOLVED, that the hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. The Supervisor then inquired the Board's pleasure, and thereupon on a motion by Councilman Bloom, seconded by Councilman Nagel, the following resolution was adopted by unanimous vote of the Board, all members being present and voting "aye": RESOLVED, that this Board hereby adopts Local Law No. 3, of the Town of Mamaroneck for the year 1970, which shall read as follows: (see next page) 2 - Local Law Number 3 — 1970 and also in addition to administra- tive rulings, common law rules and Adopted by the Town Board of the judicial decisions relating to the Town of Mamaroneck at a Regular conduct of town officers and em- Meeting held July 8, 1970. ployees and not in derogation thereof.

Additional Funds Before proceding with the adoption of the bond resolution, Mrs. Helwig inquired of Mr. Widulski whether the grouting crews had reported today for the final check of the line and was advised that they had not but were expected Thursday morning. She also referred to a letter addressed to the Board by Dr. Abby Zelnick of Old White Plains Road and hand delivered as of this date, stating that she felt the Board should know of his comments with reference to the grade of a certain man- hole, etc. Accordingly, she then read the communication which was thereupon ordered received and filed for the record. The Engineer, in reply to questioning on the aforesaid letter, explained the situation which he said would be corrected when the construction of the curb in this area was completed. He further explained in reply to a question by Councilman Nagel, that if manholes were installed at grade level as Dr. Zelnick had indicated they should be, they could be very easily "lost" and he cited certain instances where sidewalks had been installed, lamp posts erected, or extravagant plantings made over a manhole thus creating extreme difficulty in locating the manholes at times of emergency. The Supervisor then reported that the permissive referendum on the Order for additional funds in the amount of $50,000, had expired at midnight on July 3rd, and accordingly it was now in order for the Board to adopt the bond resolution as herein presented.

The Supervisor advised Mr. Mills that under her report later - 12 - this evening she would have something to say about the Weaver Street and Palmer Avenue intersection which it was hoped would provide some relief to present traffic conditions. 6. Report - Summer Recreation Programs The Supervisor explained that this item would have to be held until Mr. Kronenberger, who was issuing permits at the pool, arrived to present an oral report. 7. Retirement - Giovanni Molle The Clerk presented a memorandum addressed to the Board by the Comptroller under date of June 2nd, 1970, informing the Board of the retirement of Giovanni Molls who had been a member of the Town Sanitation Department for almost ten years.

COMMUNICATIONS 1. General Code Publishers Corporation The Clerk presented a communication addressed to the Board by General Code Publishers Corporation under date of June 26th, 1970 offering to the Town 10 surplus Codes at the nominal bargain price of $30.00 each. For the Board's information he reported that 35 Codes had been purchased originally, of which there now remained only 10 and therefore recommended that the Town avail itself of this offer. The Comptroller called to the Board's attention that the purchase would necessitate authorization of a transfer of funds since no appropriation had been provided in the 1970 budget, and thereupon - 13 - on motion of Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the purchase of 10 Codes at $30. each, and transfer of funds in the amount of $300-. from Part-town Surplus to Miscellaneous Item #512 to cover the cost thereof. - 2. Letter from Village Attorney Re: Larchmont Reservoir The Clerk presented a letter addressed to the Board by George P. Forbes, Jr. , Larchmont Village Attorney, under date of June 24th, 1970, requesting that that part of the Reservoir of the Village and its appurtenances, which is located within the Town of Mamaroneck, be wholly exempted from taxation by the Town. The Supervisor advised that this request had been addressed to the Board in previous years but denied although such exemptions were permissive under special legislation passed in 1969. Councilman Faiola stated that he would like to see the request denied since he felt that, if it were granted, the Town in essence would be underwriting the Village of Larchmont Water Company. He further stated that what he would like to see come about would be the reaching of an agreement with the Mayor of the Village of Larchmont for a combined operation and the utilization of the Reservoir property for recreation in the not too far distant future. Councilman Nagel then recommended that no action be taken at this time pending further study. Councilman Bloom stated that he agreed with Councilman Faiola's hope for a joint operation and in view of this, the matter was tabled for further study. THE SUPERVISOR The Supervisor interrupted the order of business to recognize Mr. Kronenberger, the Recreation Superintendent, who presented his interim report on the Summer Recreation programs, stating the attendance at all programs and particularly pointing out that the two pre-school play-school groups had been oversubscribed well before the opening date. He also reported on the progress being made on the tennis court improvements adding that here too he anticipated a heavy enrollment for the lessons as well as for use of the courts. Councilman Nagel asked whether some thought should not be given to inaugurating a third pre-school group and in reply, Mr. Kronenberger said that this was being seriously considered by the Commission and himself in planning next year's programs. He pointed out that in this particular program there were certain State Department of Education laws having to do with the number of youngsters per instructor and the provision of proper facili- ties for children of this age group which had to be met. The Supervisor commended Mr. Kronenberger on behalf of the Board and added her thanks and appreciation for his coming here 14 - this evening to present his report following the session at the pool. The Supervisor then stated that the regular order of business would now be resumed. 3. Notice of Hearing, Village of Larchmont - Application for Variance of Sign Ordinance - The Clerk presented the aforesaid Notice which had been referred to the Attorney and which upon his report of requiring no action by the Town, was ordered received and filed. 4. P.S.C. - New Rochelle Water Company - Petition for Higher Rates The Town Attorney, to whom this Notice had been referred, reported that as yet no date had been set for the public hearing on the petition.

Notice of Meeting - Zoning Board, Village of Larchmont Upon the Attorney's report that the aforesaid application was of no concern to the Town, the Notice was hereto ordered re- ceived and filed. 6.

Report - County Tax Apportionments The Supervisor reported to the Board receipt of the County Tax Apportionment for 1970. The Supervisor also reported that in 1970 the Town's proportion of the County taxes would be less than in 1969 due to the State Board of Equalization and Assessment's Special Franchise Assessment which had increased by $98,066. The Supervisor then also advised the Board that notice had been received that the railroad property could be placed on the roll at $180,096. rather than at the former zero ceiling -- but she assumed in view of the Penn-Central's bankruptcy proceedings, that the assessment would now go back to the former zero ceiling. 2, Letter - State Department of Transportation re: Weaver and Palmer Intersection The Supervisor reported receipt of a letter addressed to her by Mr. J.D. Manning of the State Department of Transportation under date of July 2nd advising that the Department would grant a permit to the Town for the proposed removal of the island and channelization of traffic at the intersection of Palmer Avenue and Weaver Street and that an additional permit would be granted to allow the Town to use the land gained thereby. Not on Agenda 1. Regional Meeting - Office for Local Government The Supervisor extended an invitation to the members of the Board to attend the 1970 Regional Meeting to be held at the Holiday Inn in Fishkill, New York, on July 24th and also requested authorization of expenses for those of the Town staff who would attend. Whereupon, on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Bloom, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the attendance of not more than 15 members of the Town staff of the 1970 Regional Meeting of the New York State Office for Local Government in Fishkill, New York, on July 24th with expenses to be paid by the Town in an amount not to exceed the sum of $10.00 per person. 2. Rent Decontrol The Supervisor spoke briefly of the action taken by the Village of Larchmont Board of Trustees in the matter of rent decontrol and - 16 - 140 stated that she believed this Board felt that it would be desirable to have a study made to see if the plan proposed by Larchmont might be feasible for the Town. Accordingly she said, she had requested Councilman Vandernoot to chair such a study and was delighted to report that he had very kindly agreed to do. The Councilmen -- Mr. Faiola -- 1. Letter of George P. Forbes, attorney for Mrs. Widmark, re: use of property at rear of Firehouse Councilman Faiola reported that pursuant to the Board's direction, Mr. Forbes' letter had been referred to the Fire Council, which had taken no action thereon referring it back to this Board. He then stated that he would recommend that hours for the use of the subject property be established and posted in order to avoid undue disturbance to neighboring property owners. He also said that he had noted that Mr. Forbes' letter had requested that there be no use whatsoever of the property on Sundays, but in view of the church and resultant increased volumne of traffic on Weaver Street that he felt this request was unreasonable. Upon recognition by the Chair, the following persons addressed the Board on this matter, all speaking very strongly in favor of the continued useiof this property as a place for small neigh- borhood children to play, emphasizing hazards and danger to the children if they had to play in the street. Mr. Stephen McAvoy - 5 Edgewood Avenue Mr. James C. Brenner - 207 Weaver Street Dr. Lester H. Grant - 67 Hillside Avenue Mrs. Jules G. Del Vecchio - 3 Maple Hill Drive Also addressing the Board was a Mr. Arthur R. Guadio of 57 Hillcrest Avenue, who stated that time limits were not the answer inasmuch as they would in no way eliminate the excessive noise. Councilman Bloom stated he was indeed well aware of what the persons who had spoken this evening had said and of how they felt about the children's playing on this property, but he said he was also aware that not all people had the same kind of temperment and that inasmuch as all must be considered, he wondered whether it would not be possible for the parents to work out some sort of a solution with their own children that would be acceptable to all of the concerned parties? Councilman Faiola then suggested that hours of 8 A.M. to sundown be established -- whereupon the Supervisor, in line with Councilman Bloom's suggestion, asked whether the group could not designate one person to visit Mrs. Widmark and talk to her personally in an effort to reach a mutually satisfactory solution? Mr. Brenner stated that he would be glad to undertake this on behalf of the group and to report subsequently to the Board. The Supervisor thanked Mr. Brenner and all who had come to the meeting for giving the Board the benefit of their views and suggestions. Mr. Brenner then requested on behalf of the group, that the record show its appreciation of the Firemen who had always been such good neighbors and its great regret of Mr. Muller's retirement which accordingly was so directed. - 17 - 4 Mr. Vandernoot -- 1. Report - Conference on Drug Abuse Councilman Vandernoot reported that the Supervisor and he had attended the all-day Conference on Drug Abuse at Iona on the 27th of June. He stated that it had been most informative and instructive and spoke particularly of the sessions held on the use of instructional programs at early grade levels, slides showing the results of drug use, and the "Renaisance Program" devoted to the use of methadone in treatment clinics for heroin addicts. He also commented briefly on Chief O'Brien's remarks on law enforcement and on the fine work being done with young per- sons by the recently established Narcotics Guidance Council. 2.
