OLD BUSINESS
1. Authorization - Police Survey
The Clerk read into the record the following letter
-2-
5
addressed to Supervisor Helwig by Mr. Thomas F. Moore,
Jr. , Chairman, Board of Police Commissioners, under
date of February 2, 1969:
"We understand that the only firm proposals for
making a survey of the Town Police Department
came from the Field Operations Staff of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police
- and from the Center for Police Training of
the University of Indiana.
"We understand that a unit of the branch of the
State University of New York at Farmingdale,
Long Island, indicated an interest in making a
proposal but did not do so.
"Both the International Association of Chiefs
of Police and the Indiana University unit ap-
pear to be competent to make the study which
the Town Council and the Commission believe
needs to be made. Whichever organization is
chosen the charge will be about the same.
Therefor cost should not be a determining fac-
tor in making the choice.
"The Commission believes on balance that it
would be wise to choose the International
Association of Chiefs of Police. Its survey
unit is located in Washington, D. C. only an
hour from Laguardia field whereas the Indiana
survey organization is located in Indiana.
The time and money saved in travel is bound
--- to be substantial.
"In addition, the problems concerning which
help is needed are such practical police pro-
blems that we believe the practical experi-
ence of the International Association of
Chiefs of Police is likely to be more valuable
than the more academic and less practical ex-
perience of the Indiana University organization.
"The Commission therefore strongly recommends
that the Town enter into an agreement with the
International Association of Chiefs of Police
for carrying out a survey in accordance with
the proposal submitted by it.
"As you are of course aware while a survey of
the Town Police Department's activities is
bound to be valuable a wider survey involving
the Town Police Department and the Departments
of the two villages located in the Town would
be more valuable. Hopefully, the Town Depart-
-- ment survey will prove to be of sufficient
significance to bring about an expansion of
the survey to cover the entire town. In the
meantime we are confidant that the officials
of both villages will cooperate in the Town
Department' s survey to the extent they are
reasonably requested to do so by the survey
organization selected. "

REPORTS
The Town Clerk --
The Clerk presented the following reports which
were herewith ordered received and filed for the
record:
-10-
<1
Report of the Building and Plumbing Inspector
for the month of January, 1969.
Report of the Receiver of Taxes and Assessments
for the month of January, 1969.
Report of the Westchester Shore Humane Society,
for the month of January, 1969.
Municipal Dog Patrol Report for the month of

Summary of Receipts & Disbursements - January
1, 1968 - November 30, 1968.
The Supervisor --
Before presenting her reports, the Supervisor, noting
the large number of persons present, with the Board ' s
consent, varied the regular order of business in order
to hear those who wished to address the Board, where-
upon the following persons were heard:
1. Mrs. Herbert Ascher, Jr. , - 11 Byron Lane, Town.
Mrs. Herbert Ascher, speaking on behalf of the League
of Women Voters, urged the adoption of a Fair Housing
Local Law or Ordinance for the Town, and submitted a
copy of the model of a Local Open Housing Law proposed
by the Suffolk County Human Relations Commission, which
was referred to the attention of the Town Attorney.
2. Mr. Walter A. Coupe - 714 Forest Avenue, Town.
Mr. Walter A. Coupe addressed the Board on behalf of
The Christian Family Movement of Sts. John and Paul '
Church, presenting the following statement for the
record:
"The Christian Family Movement on Sts.
John and Paul Church desires an open
community, one without barriers or
restrictions, where all people are
welcome, without regard to race or
religion. To this end, CFM strongly
supports the adoption of a local law
which reflects in spirit and enforces
in fact compliance with the State ' s
already established Fair Housing Law.
CFM commends the Board for its positive
action and urges all members of the
community to support the swift enact-
ment and implementation of local fair
housing legislation. "
3. Mr. Bernard B. Kubisak - 752 Forest Avenue, Town.
Mr. Kubisak addressed the Board on the same subject,
speaking on behalf of Mr. Frederic D. Cuneo who had
-11-
been delayed by an accident at home and presented
for the record the following statement as submitted
by the Fair Housing Committee under date of February
5, 1969:
"On behalf of the Fair Housing Committee,
we would like to commend the Board for
taking the initiative in considering the
enactment of a Fair Housing Law for the
Town of Mamaroneck.
The Committee ' s position on this issue is
well known, but it would be helpful to
recall at least two salient factors which
point out the very real need .for a local
law.
FIRST : The existing New York State Law
Against Discrimination has proved to be
both cumbersome in its administration
and difficult to enforce in the area of
fair housing. on the other hand, a local
law will provide an opportunity for prompt
action in effecting compliance with the
public policy of non-discrimination.
SECOND: Once enacted, such a law would
demonstrate to prospective residents the
sentiments of the community and would
have a lasting effect on making the
Town of Mamaroneck a better place to live.
Members of the Fair Housing Committee
stand ready to render any assistance
which the Board may deem appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,
s/ Frederic D. Cunec. ''
4. Mr. Paul Jenisch - President, Glen Rocks Asso-
ciation.
Mr. Jenisch addressed the Board, again speaking on
behalf of the members of the Glen Rocks Association,
stating that for over the past two years, the resi-
dents of the Glen Rocks area had been plagued with
the eyesore condition of the property on Fenimore
Road in the Village of Mamaroneck purchased in 1966
by Mr. Protano on which refuse of all kinds, includ-
ing raw garbage etc. , has been and is being dumped.
He described the Glen Rocks area as a nice section of
the Town and since the yards of many of the properties
therein bordered the Protano property, asked what
steps the Council could or would take to have this
unsavory condition corrected. He further stated that
as the Supervisor knew, he had been in touch with that
office and with the Village many times in recent months
and that although he had been advised by the Supervisor
that the Village would have the condition corrected,
nothing had been done.
-12-
The Supervisor reported that she had discussed this
with Mr. Udall Monday scorning, reporting a call from
Dr. Makover of 3 Country Road, complaining about the
rats running over his backyard coming from the
Protano dump. Mr. Udall reported that Dr. Makover
had contacted him directly and that this would be
taken care of. She further stated that she would
call Mr. Udall again tomorrow morning, advising
that the Town was very disappointed that nothing
had been done regarding elimination of the dumping
and removal of old rusty contractor ' s equipment
from this property since both were violations of
the Village Ordinance.
Mr. Jenisch thanked the Supervisor and the Board and
expressed the hope that the situation would be cleared
up in the immediate future.
5. Mr. Hyman Frank-Attorney-271 Broadway,New York City.
Mr. Frank, attorney for Tung Hoy Restaurant addressed
the Board to request an extension of time with relation
to the notice for correction or removal of the non-
conforming signs.
Councilman Chalif, speaking as an attorney; advised
Mr. Frank that his request must be taken under con-
sideration before any decision could be made, --that
the Board could not, at this time, give any "yes" or
"no" answer.
6. Mr. 'Harry Ekizian -8 Prince Willows Lane, Town.
Mr. Ekizian asked whether the five (5) bids submitted
on the Prince Widows sewer were all within budget,
and inquired whether the Board could give even an
approximate date for the actual start of the con-
struction.
The Engineer, at the Board' s request, replied that the
report on the examination of bids would be submitted
to the Board at its next meeting, and it was hoped
that digging could begin immediately following the
award and execution of the contracts
It was also stated that the Engineer would advise the
home-owners in the district what steps would be necessary
for the house connections.
- In reply to Mr. Ekizian ' s observation that the County
in constructing its part of the sewer had blocked a
storm drain, Mr. Widulski assured him that he was
aware of this and that the contractor would extend
the drain.
The Supervisor
The Supervisor then stated that since no one else wished
to address the Board, the regular order of business would
be resumed, thereupon presenting the following reports:
-13-
1. Reapportionment, County Board.
The Supervisor reported briefly on two proposed Local
Laws for reapportionment of the Board of Supervisors -
No. 2 consisting of 17 districts with one County
legislator from each district, and No. 3 consisting
of 17 districts with two County Legislators from
each district. Each district would have an approxi-
mate population of 50, 000, she said, with our district,
composed of the Town of Mamaroneck, Rye Neck, and the
City of Rye, having a population of approximately
53, 000.
She stated that the Board of Supervisors had held
hearings thereon on February 2nd and would adopt
one or both proposals next Monday. She further
stated that she felt the citizenry should vote if
the Court went ahead - that our voters had spoken
out against both the 35 member Plan and against
weighted voting. She reported that the Mayors had
received copies of the two proposals and that she
would solicit their opinions as well as those of
the members of this Board and of such of the public
as she was able to reach.
Councilman Nagel stated that it was his, and he
believed the feeling of his colleagues on this
Board, that the Supervisor was closer to the
situation than they were and that they would
have to be guided by(h er wisdom,
Councilman Chalif sta ted that he went along with
Councilman Nagel and that the reason the Court had
decided to take jurisdiction was that former Plans
or proposals had been found wanting. He added
that he did not think the members of the Board
could give the Supervisor any guidance -- and
that even assuming they could, it probably would
not be of any value.
The Supervisor stated that as she understood it
from the County Attorney there would be no expression
of opinion if a Plan were mandated by the Court.
Councilman Nagel assured the Supervisor that the
Board certainly would endorse her recommendation if
she advised it of her feelings. Councilman Chali£
remarked that the question had been before the Board
of Supervisors for years and that the Court had been
asking for a formula; and Councilman Faiola stated
that either Proposal would be an improvement.
2. County Tax Warrant
The Supervisor reported receipt of the Warrant from the
County C lerk for the collection of some $2, 707, 703, an
increase of $327, 000 over last year, in State, County,
-14-
Town and Special District taxes, which, she explained,
under the law must be collected by the Town for the
State, County, and Special Districts.
