Minutes of Family & Youth Council Councilman Faiola presented for the record the minutes of Larchmont-Mamaroneck Committee on Family and Youth meetings of May 2nd and 23rd, 1967, advising that these minutes concentrated basically on the Youth Teen Center and commenting on the excellent coverage given by the press. 2. Report - Citizens Task Force (Not on Agenda) Councilman Faiola presented the report of the Task Force on the Family and Youth Committee, remarking on its excellence and thoroughness and advising that a copy thereof had been furnished to each member of the Board. -15- 236 He further stated that if any citizen wished to have a copy of this report it could be obtained at the Town Office. 3. Request --Authorizations to Advertise for Bids a) Boiler - Firehouse Councilman Faiola reported that the boiler in the Fire- house had completely broken down and therefore would have to be replaced. He advised that Councilman Quad- rine and the Town Engineer had inspected it just prior to this meeting and asked Councilman Quadrine whether he cared to comment thereon at this time. Councilman Quadrine stated it was a steam boiler and that the drum itself was completely gone and therefore he could only recommend replacement. Councilman Faiola then advised that he would like to have the water heating system changed to gas with imme- diate installation of a gas-hot water heater with a separate furnace for heating. Following discussion with the Engineer it was unanimous- ly agreed that bids be obtained on a boiler and there- upon on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Council- man Quadrine, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes publication of a Notice for sealed bids in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaro- neck, The Daily Times, for furnishing a boiler to the Town of Mamaroneck Weaver Street Firehouse in conformance with the Specifica- tions set forth in said Notice; said bids to be returnable, opened and read aloud at the next meeting of this Board in the Council Room of the Weaver Street Firehouse, Weaver Street, Town of Mamaroneck, at 8:15 p. m. on Wednesday, August 2, 1967. The discussion then turned to the matter of installing a gas water heater, with Councilman Quadrine question- ing the Engineer as to whether he could at this time estimate the quantity of hot water needed and the approxi- mate price of such equipment so as to determine whether or not bids had to be taken. The Engineer advised that since a 55-gallon heater at an approximately cost of $50. to $100. normally supplied an average household, he would estimate that an 80 gal- lon tank at a cost of around $200. would adequately service the Firehouse, and thus obviate the necessity of advertising for bids. Wherefore, on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilwoman Helwig, it was unanimously -16- 236 RESOLVED, that the Town Engineer be and he is hereby authorized to obtain three price esti- mates on an instantaneous gas water heater and tank of sufficient capacity to service the Weaver Street Firehouse. b) Auditorium Ceiling - Firehouse Councilman Faiola also requested authorization to adver- tise for bids for the installation of a new ceiling, ventilation and lighting in the auditorium of the Fire- house for which funds had been appropriated in this year's budget. Councilman Quadrine inquired of the Engineer whether the Plans and Specifications had been prepared and was advis- ed that there were Specifications but no Plans. Councilman Faiola then requested that the Engineer be directed to prepare the necessary Plan so that the Notice for Bids could be published, and thereupon on his motion, seconded by Councilwoman Helwig, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the Town Engineer to prepare Plans and Specifications for the installation of a new ceiling, ventilation and lighting in the auditorium of the Weaver Street Firehouse with publication in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, of a Notice for Bids therefor, said bids to be returnable, opened and read aloud at the next regular meeting of this Board on Wednesday evening, August 2, 1967, at 8:15 p, m. in the Council Room of the Weaver Street Fire- house, Weaver Street, Town of Mamaroneck. c) Sidewalk - Firehouse Councilman Faiola requested authorization to advertise for bids for the installation of a new sidewalk at the Firehouse for which funds had been appropriated in the 1967 budget. Councilman Quadrine, after inquiring whether specifica- tions were necessary and if so, whether they had been prepared, and upon being advised by the Engineer that they were necessary but not as yet prepared, raised a question as to the work load being placed on the Engi- neer stating that he really questioned whether anyone could handle all of this along with the regular work.
