" -10- OLD BUSINESS 1. Application - Bonnie Briar Country Club The Supervisor presented the application of the Bon- nie Briar Country Club which had been held over from the Public Hearing at the last meeting of the Board, inquiring whether any one present wished to be heard further on it. Councilman Faiola advised the Board that he had talk- ed with Mr. Roberts, Manager of the Club, since the last meeting and was informed by him that at the pre- sent time the Club was interested in enlarging its facilities only as specified on the plans of the present application to accommodate the present member- ship. It was noted for the record, that the meeting arranged by the Building Inspector for Friday evening, Decem- ber 27, 1968, for the neighboring property owners to discuss any questions they might have with represen- tatives of the Club if possible, the Chairman of the Planning Board, the Engineer, and himself had been cancelled after the Supervisor's office telephoned each of those invited due to the inclement weather and unavilability of Mr. Roberts or any one from the Club. Since, upon the Chair's inquiry, no one else wished to be heard, Councilman Faiola moved that the appli- cation be granted, which motion was seconded by Coun- cilman Chalif, with the following resolution unani- mously adopted: WHEREAS, Bonnie Briar Country Club has submitted an application for an extension of its existing Special Use in a Residential District (R-30 zone) so as to allow the construc- tion of an addition and alterations to the existing Clubhouse as shown on the plans filed with the applica- tion, on premises located on the East side of Weaver Street, Town, and known as Block 225, Parcel 1 on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck; and WHEREAS, said application was denied by the Building Inspector on the grounds that the plans were subject to a special permit to,be granted pursuant to Sections 410, 432 and 449 of the Zoning Ordinance insofar as the proposed building or structure is an extension or addition to a non-con- forming use; and =11--- 12 WHEREAS, the applicant has applied to this Board for a special permit as provided in Section 432 of the Zoning ordinance, and which applica- tion this Board has referred to the Planning Board for report which, as received, recommends that the appli- cation be granted; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly called before this Board on Decem- ber 18, 1968 pursuant to Section 432 of the Zoning Ordinance; and WHEREAS, the Board has examined the plans and finds that the conditions and standards required by subdivi- sions 432.1, 432.2, 432.3 and 432.4 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the application of Bonnie Briar:Country Club is here- by granted and the Building Inspec- tor authorized to issue a special permit for the extension as shown on the plans filed with him, pro- vided that such extension conforms in all respects with the Building Code and Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Mamaroneck. 2. Award of Bid - Group Life Insurance The Supervisor called on Councilman Chalif, Chair- man of the Committee appointed by the Board, who presented a written report of the Committee's find- ings which was herewith ordered received and filed as part of the record of this meeting as corrected upon its presentation. Based on this report, Councilman Chalif then offered a motion for the adoption of the following resolu- tion, which was seconded by Councilman Nagel: WHEREAS, a Notice for Bids for Group Life Insurance for the Town of Mama- roneck was duly published in the offi- cial newspaper of the Town of Mamaro- neck, The Daily Times, on December 11, 1968, and WHEREAS, said bids were opened and read aloud at a regular meeting of -12- 13 this Board held on December 18, 1968 in the Council Room of the Weaver Street Firehouse, Town of Mamaroneck, and WHEREAS, a Committee composed of Coun- cilman Chalif, the Town Attorney and Town Comptroller was appointed to sub- mit its recommendation for award of the bid to this Board following its examination, review and study of the said bids, and WHEREAS, Councilman Chalif, as Chair- man of the said Committee, presented its report and moved the award of the bid in accordance therewith, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board hereby awards the Group Life Insurance contract for the Town of Mamaroneck to the low bid- der, Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, said insurance to be effective as of January 1, 1969 as set forth in letter of the said company dated Decem- ber 31, 1968 and herewith filed. Prior to the vote on the foregoing resolution, in reply to the Supervisor's inquiry as to whether any one present wished to speak to this motion, ques- tions were raised by the insurance brokers and agents present on the method of elimination of nine of the bids because of the failure to attach a non- collusion statement (Aetna, Travellers and Pruden- tial), the failure to include a non-occupational vehicle accident quotation (ITT and Travellers), and failure to comply with the request for conver- sion upon termination or retirement with no age stipulated (U. S. Life, Colonial Life and Metro- politan Life quoting insurance reduced by 50% at age 70). Among those voicing the strongest objections were Messrs. James Serphos of Rye, an independent in- surance consultant, Walter Tymerson of Harrison, Metropolitan Life, and Vincent J. Ciardullo re- presenting Prudential. Upon Councilman Nagel's reminder that there was a motion on the floor as offered by Councilman Chalif and seconded by him, the Supervisor inquired whe- ther the Board was ready for the question. Where- upon on roll call, the vote on the resolution was as follows: Supervisor Helwig Voting "Aye" Councilman Chalif Voting "Aye" Councilman Faiola Voting "Aye" Councilman Nagel Voting "Aye" -13- 1-4 The resolution was therefore declared duly adopted with the Group Life Insurance contract awarded to the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. On behalf of the Board, the Supervisor then express- ed its appreciation to the brokers and agents pre- sent this evening and also to those who had come to the Town office to review the bids and advise with the Committee.

Councilman Nagel - - Councilman Nagel stated that he had no formal -16- 7 report at this time, but noting that both Mrs. Sheinhouse and Mrs. Curtis were present, he felt that they deserved some report on the police sur- vey proposals. He then stated that he still hoped personally that both of the Villages would join with the Town, and that it seemed to him since the Town was about 90% on the way to solving its dilemma, that this might well come to pass. The Supervisor noted that the Chief and Mr. Moore had talked with Mr. Reinke of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Inc, to inquire about the possibility of modifying the proposal so as to include the parking study rather than have this as a separate study. Mrs. Sheinhouse observed that she believed Patter- son, New Jersey, had had a report by the Inter- national Association of Chiefs of Police, Inc. in which the emphasis was on community relations.
