CALL TO ORDER The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 8:15 p. m. ROLL CALL Present: Supervisor Kane Councilwoman Helwig Councilman Quadrine Councilman Chalif Councilman Faiola Absent: None Also Present: Mr. Gronberg - Town Clerk Mr. Johnston - Town Attorney Mrs. Brewer - Deputy Clerk Mr. Altieri - Comptroller PRESENTATION OF 1967 PRELIMINARY BUDGET The Supervisor presented the tentative Preliminary Budget for 1967 as prepared from the departmental requisitions and re- vised and amended pursuant to recommendations and sugges- tions following the November 10, 1966 discussion meeting. He reviewed in detail the transmittal letter submitted with the budget and the General Town, Part Town and Special District levies department by department. The following persons questioned specific items in the pro- posed budget with the main emphasis directed toward the in- crease in the General Town levy and the reasons therefore. Mayor Arthur C. Phillips, Jr. Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Phillips questioned the cost of the Hommocks Improve- ment as a General Town charge, stating that the improvements were contiguous to the school and should be under the School Board. The Supervisor pointed out that the Hommocks recreational area and swimming pool would be available to all residents of the en- tire Town and thus this was a General Town item. Councilwoman Helwig added that the land was owned by the General Town and thus investments in the area were a General Town charge. The Mayor stated for the record, speaking both as Mayor and -1- A27 as a taxpayer, that while the Village and Town cooperated in many respects, in this area the Village had its own recreation (namely, Harbor Island, Florence Park, etc. ) and so had no need for the proposed Hommocks recreation area - which he therefore protested as a General Town levy on behalf of the Village of Mamaroneck. Mr. Peter J. Reale Village of Mamaroneck Mr. Reale requested that the record show that he was 100% in support of Mayor Phillips' statement with respect to the Hom- mocks, particularly in view of the drastic school tax increase to come along with all other ever-rising taxes - wherein, he said, the cooperation of all was needed to keep the taxes down. The Supervisor stated that this Board was indeed well aware of taxes and had spent a great amount of time on this budget toward keeping the taxes down. Councilwoman Helwig pointed out that there were included in this year's General Town levy, two non-recurring items, the Hommocks Improvement and Revaluation, which should be kept in mind in considering this year's tax rate in the General Town, Mayor Phillips In connection with the proposed Revaluation, the Mayor pre- ___ sented acertified copy of a resolution, adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck on November 14, 1966, urging, in order to serve the best interests of the Village, that the Town retain the same firm for its revaluation as presently engaged by the Town of Rye so that the revaluation of the real properties located in the Village within the Town of Rye and those located in the Village within the Town of Mamaroneck would be consistent. The resolution was read into the record and ordered received and filed. Mr. Reale Mr. Reale also questioned the Recreation budget and that for the Sheldrake Trails as General Town levies, inquiring in re- spect to the Trails whether this could not be incorporated in- to the Park District with the use of Park personnel for devel- opment and maintenance. In reply, Councilwoman Helwig reviewed the Recreation budget -- in detail - quoting the program attendance figures which showed equal attendance by the Village of Mamaroneck and the Town residents, and pointing out that the increase in the net budget (gross less revenues) was due to salary increases and two ad- ditions to the staff. Further, with regard to incorporating Sheldrake Trails into -2- a,ns the Park District, the Supervisor explained that this could not be done being prohibited by law, and again pointed out that the 54 acres of woodlands had been deeded to the whole Town for the use of all its residents and thus, a General Town charge. Mr. William J. Gerety Town of Mamaroneck Mr. Gerety stated that, while speaking of parks and recrea- tion, he wished to express for the record, his thanks to the ad- ministration for providing the recreation facilities in Memorial Park. He also commended the programs offered at Memorial Park and the summer playground at Murray Avenue School. Under Part Town In the Police Department budget, the item covering the salary of a part-time Clerk was explained and reviewed in detail. The appropriation for the proposed Codification of Town Or- dinances and Laws was fully reviewed and explained by the Town Attorney and Councilman Chalif, who particularly stres- sed the need for this service. The Highway budget was presented in detail by Councilman Quadrine, who, upon questioning of the Superintendent's salary not being under Item IV as previously, explained that it was a General Town charge this year in compliance with a new law with which this Board did not hold and which was under inquiry by the Town Attorney. Under Special Districts Sanitation - Councilman Quadrine explained the increase which was due to salaries, the purchase of replacement equipment (2 Load- packer Garbage Trucks), bonding for capital indebtedness, and the increasing Incinerator operation costs. Water - Here he reviewed the planned extensions to water mains pro- posed in accordance with the recommendations of the Westches- ter Joint Water Works - pointing out that such extensions of course brought increased revenues to the Town. Lighting - Councilman Quadrine called to attention the continuation of the lighting-improvement program throughout the unincorporated area and the lessening of maintenance costs due to the use of the new "Cherry-Picker" truck in bulb replacements and light installations. -3- 0 9 Sewer - In review of this budget, Councilman Quadrine remarked on the appropriation for the Prince Willows sewer, the Griffen Avenue Sewer, and debt redemption. The only discussion on the foregoing items concerned inciner- ation - methods - costs - means - dumping - burning, etc. , during which Mr. Reale, Supervisor Kane and Mayor Phillips spoke - referring particularly to meetings held:recently by various Supervisors and Mayors to discuss the possible use of "composting" - "waste haulage" - 'air-pollution", etc. Park - Councilman Faiola reviewed this budget which, except for salary adjustments, was virtually statusquo. Fire - The salaries, building repairs, and approaching need for re- placement of the aerial ladder, were explained by Councilman Faiola as the items responsible for the increase in this District, Mr. Robert Marcus Town of Mamaroneck Mr. Marcus, referring to page 37, questioned the distinctions as far as General Town, Part Town and Special Districts, ex- plained in reply by the Comptroller. Mr. J. Russell Clune Town of Mamaroneck Mr. Clune inquired about the workings of revaluation - which process, in reply, was described in some detail by Council- woman Helwig - who stressed that notices of changes were for- warded by the revaluing firm to all residents and that a Grievance Procedure was established by the firm to hear all property owners desiring to be heard. Mr. John W. Hinchcliffe Town of Mamaroneck Mr. Hinchcliffe stated that he was a neighbor of Mr. Clune's and asked when the Board would vote on its procedure in this revaluation matter since he had a fair amount of interest therein. It was explained that the budget would be voted on on the 7th of December and that the Board had already interviewed several' revaluation firms with due consideration given to 'procedure'. -4- d4 Mr. Marcus Mr. Marcus stated that he had no criticism of the budget - but that in view of the County tax and the coming School tax, he would like to suggest that the Hommocks Improvement and Re- valuation be postponed since these two items constituted a con- siderable number of dollars in the General Town budget - and further, that costs be bonded as any small bite was not as bad as a large bite. Councilman Quadrine Councilman Quadrine stated that he agreed - and had suggested that the $56, 000. item in the Hommocks be bonded since this would reduce the General Town levy almost 44� per thousand - and particularly so in view of the cost to our senior citizens. Councilman Chalif Councilman Chalif stated that he disagreed wholeheartedly with both Mr. Marcus and Councilman Quadrine in view of today's money costs and the interest charges on bonding. Mr. Marcus Mr. Marcus replied that he could not contradict Councilman Chalif on this - and that if we were not confronted with all these increases at one time, he would agree. Dr. David Benford Town of Mamaroneck Dr. Benford inquired whether the Town would not be wise to be sure it was legal in incurring the Hommocks expenses ? Councilwoman Helwig To this, Councilwoman Helwig replied that the Town would be derelict in its duty if it did not provide funds to fulfill its obli- gations in accordance with its agreements with the School Board. And thereupon, since on the Supervisor's inquiry no one else wished to be heard and the Board signified that it was ready for the question, on motion by Councilman Chalif, seconded by Councilman Faiola, the following resolution, upon roll call, was adopted by unanimous vote of the Board with all members pres- ent and voting: RESOLVED, that this Town Board does hereby prepare and approve as the Preliminary Budget of this Town for the fiscal year beginning on the 1st day of January, -5- d4 1967, the itemized statement of estimated revenues and expenditures hereto attached and made a part of this resolution; and be it further RESOLVED, that such Preliminary Budget shall be filed in the Office of the Town Clerk, where it shall be available for inspection by any interested person at all reasonable hours; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Board shall meet at 8: 15 p. m. on the 7th day of December, 1966, for the purpose of hold- ing a public hearing upon such Preliminary Budget; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk give Notice of such public hearing in the manner provided in Section 113 of the Town Law, and that such Notice be published and posted in substantially the following form: Public Notice Notice Is Hereby Given, that the Preliminary Budget of the Town of Mamaroneck, New York, consist- ing of the estimated revenues and expenditures for the year 1967, has been completed and filed in the Office of the Town Clerk of said Town, where the same may be examined by any person interested therein, and that a public hearing thereon will be held by and before the Town Board of said Town on Wednesday, December 7, 1966, at 8: 15 p. m. , in the Council Room of the Wea- ver Street Firehouse, Weaver Street, Town of Mamar- oneck, New York, at which time and place all those who appear and are interested will be given an oppor- tunity to be heard with respect to said Preliminary Budget, or any part or item thereof.
