CALL TO ORDER The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 5:15 p. m. ROLL CALL Present: Supervisor Burchell Councilman Kane Councilman Brush Councilwoman Helwig Councilman Quadrine Absent: None Also Present: Mr. Gronberg - Town Clerk Mr. Johnston - Town Attorney Mrs, Brewer - Secretary Mr. Altieri - Comptroller APPROVAL OF MINUTES On motion duly made and seconded, the minutes of the regu- lar meetings of April 1st and 15th, 1964 were approved as submitted. PUBLIC HEARING - Adoption of Suburban Town Law On motion by Councilwoman Helwig, seconded by Councilman Brush, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the public hearing be and it hereby is declared open. The Clerk presented the affidavit of publication of the notice of hearing for the record, and the Town Attorney, at the Su- pervisor's request, reviewed the law. He stated that the Suburban Town Law, as enacted in 1962 and amended in 1963, provided a new form of local government for towns throughout the State having a population of 25, 000 or more. I The law, he recited, had come about as the result of studies initiated by a group of Supervisors in Erie County desiring to develop a form of town government which would enable towns to meet the problems occasioned by the recent population growth. The present structure of local government in towns, he said, had not been altered substantially since the last general revision of the Town Law thirty years ago -- and thus the towns which had experienced this growth factor were unable to meet the demands of the people for improved services and a greater degree of self-government. -I- The bill, he continued, which was enacted in 1962 in brief provided for: a) centralization of administration and executive authority in the Supervisor; b) authority to reorganize town funtions on a de- partmental basis, subject to the policy direc- tion of the town board; c) greater flexibility in providing local improve- ', ments and services with the necessary fiscal powers for their implementation; d) expansion of power to enter into cooperative arrangements with the villages located within the town; e) authority to preserve existing town boundaries in the public interest; and was amended in 1963 so as to: 1) fully reflect the growth factor - available to an additional 32 towns; 2) make clear the original intent that additional powers of town boards related only to town ac- tivities - so that they could not be used to dis- turb existing inter-relationships or affect the division of costs between towns and villages; 3) clarify the language so as to fit the case of a town with more than one Supervisor; 4) limit the application of local laws subject to referendum; (alienation or conveying or leasing of town real property) 5) prohibit the impairment by local law of the functions of elected officials; 6) and as to Special Improvements: a) clarify the requirement of approval of State Comptroller; b) authorize certain changes in the appor- tionment of the costs of a special im- provement after completion; c) modify referendum requirements; d) provide that the charges for services at a stated annual cost shall be appor- tioned in the manner provided in the resolution authorizing the service; 7) broaden the authorization for town-village cooperation - (joint survey teams); -2- He also pointed out that under Suburban Town Law, towns were granted powers to regulate speed limits on roads out- side of villages other than State highways and to retain a por- tion of the fines, penalties and forfeitures, similar to corn- parable powers of cities and villages, and concluded by stat- ing that the Town, if it adopted the Suburban Town Law, would still have all the powers it had under the former Town Law as well as other laws in addition to those granted under the new law. The Supervisor then inquired whether anyone present wished to be heard either in favor of or in opposition to the adoption of this law, and thereupon the following two persons addressed the Board in favor of its adoption by the Town. Mrs. Elizabeth Ashley, President, Larchmont League of Women Voters. Mr. Howard Schwartz, Chairman, Mamaroneck Town Democratic Committee. Whereupon since no one else wished to be heard, on motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Brush, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. And thereupon, on a motion offered by Councilwoman Hel- wig and seconded by Councilman Quadrine, the following reso- lution, upon roll call, was adopted by unanimous vote, all members of the Board being present and voting: WHEREAS, a public hearing has been conducted by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck on the question of making applicable to such town the pro- visions of the Suburban Town Law (Article 3-A of the Town Law of the State of New York), NOW; THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority con- ferred by Section 50-a of the Town Law of the State of New York, be it RESOLVED, subject to a permissive referendum, that effective January 1, 1965, the provisions of the Suburban Town Law enacted as Article 3-A of the Town Law and other related laws, shall be ap- plicable to the Town of Mamaroneck; and be it further RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Sections 82 and 90 of the Town Law, within ten (10) days from the date of this resolution, the Town Clerk shall post and publish a notice which shall set forth the date of the adoption of this resolution, shall contain an abstract of such resolution concisely stating the purpose and effect thereof, and shall specify that this resolution was adopted subject to a permis- sive referendum on petition filed not later than September 15th of this year; and that the Town -3- Clerk shall publish such notice in the Mamaroneck Daily Times, a newspaper published in the Town of Mamaroneck, and in addition thereto, shall post or cause to be posted a copy of such notice on the signboard of the Town within ten (10) days after the date of the adoption of this resolution. -- OLD BUSINESS 1. Petition - Extension of Sewer District No. 1 (Section R) (Pending from April 1 st Public Hearing) Pursuant to the April 1st public hearing at which decision was reserved and the April 15th Town Board meeting at which action was deferred in deference to a request made by Mr. Herbert Stoller as President of the Stonewall Associa- tion for the Stonewall-Prince Willow group, the Supervisor presented for consideration, a special delivery letter re- ceived today from Mr. Stoller again requesting that action in the matter of the subject petition be delayed pending the completion of the Stonewall-Prince Willows petition so that both could be considered and acted upon at the same time. Following discussion it was unanimously decided that fur- ther delay was unwarranted since the two petitions pre- sented completely different problems and therefore could never be acted upon simultaneously. Mr. Stoller, who was recognized at this time, then spoke to his letter and further stated that, although he con- ceded that there were two entirely different problems in- - volved in the two petitions, nevertheless if money were to be expended for the provision of sewers on one side of Old White Plains Road (Griffen Avenue), it should be so ex- pended at the same time to provide sewers on the other, or Stonewall-Prince Willows side. Also heard were the following residents of the Stonewall- ' Prince Willows area. all urging that any sewer extension include the Stonewall-Prince Willows area: Mr. Morton S. Levin - Old White Plains Road Dr. Stanley R. Drachman - 29 Stonewall Lane Mr. Morton Stern - 3 Stonewall Lane Mr. J. W. Atherton - Poccia Circle Mr. Emanuel S. Warschauer - 30 Doris Lane Mr. Jesse Rothman - 16 Doris Road Dr. Walter Berdon - 3 Prince Willows Lane Mr. L. J. Roversi - 1171 Old White Plains Road The Supervisor then inquired as to the Board's pleasure in this matter - and thereupon on a motion offered by Councilman Kane and seconded by Councilman Quadrine, up- on roll call, the following resolution was adopted by unani- mous vote of the Board with all members present and voting: RESOLVED, by the Town Board of the Town of Mamar- oneck, County of Westchester, State of New York, as follows: -4- I Section 1.

Recreation a) Program Bulletins Councilwoman Helwig reported to the Board that some 9000 Recreation Program Bulletins had been mailed to residents of the Town, to which the Superintendent of Recreation reported a wonderful response to date. b) Statement of President of Board of Education (Re: Transfer of Title of Cargill Park Property) For purposes of the record, Councilwoman Helwig re- quested that a statement made by Eugene M. Parter, President of the Board of Education of Union Free School District No. 1, at the April 14, 1964 Board of Education meeting, be incorporated in the minutes of this meeting as follows: "Last Wednesday, after months of intensive work, -12- title to the Cargill Park property was transferred to the School District. This property constitutes the major portion of the new elementary school site. Its transfer involved many complicated factors, includ- ing provision for County and Town easements, and the preparation of an agreement between the School District and the Town for the use of the property for recreational, as well as school purposes. This is one of the first instances of such joint use in the area. It could never have been accomplished with- out the wonderful cooperation given by many mem- hers of the Town Government. I would like to take this occasion to mention some of them. Foremost among them, of course, was Supervisor George Burchell, and the members of the Town Board whose understanding and sense of civic pride made this project possible. I must single out Council- ', man Christine Helwig particularly, for the tremen- dous amount of time she devoted to this matter, and her thoughtful and imaginative approach to the prob- lems that beset us. I should not forget Joseph Cook, a former Councilamn, who was one of the strongest supporters of this project when it was initiated. Many other members of the Town Government, in- cluding Fred Kellogg, Town Engineer; Jim Kronen- berger, Superintendent of Recreation; Edward Fis- cher, Highway Superintendent, and John Stahr, Chair- man of the Recreation Commission, rendered highly valuable services which contributed substantially to the success of this joint enterprise. Finally, I want to pay tribute to the patience and skill of the two attorneys who surmounted many dif- ficult legal problems and brought the transaction to a successful conslusion - John L. Delius, the Town Attorney, and Joseph F. Curren, the School Board Attorney. " c) Thruway Noise Abatement Committee Councilwoman Helwig presented for the Board's in- formation a copy of the minutes of the April 16, 1964 meeting of the Joint Committee of representatives from the Thruway Noise Abatement Committee and the trucking industry, which was herewith ordered re- ceived and filed for the record.

The Supervisor -- The Supervisor at this time reported on two additional mat- ters as follows: First -- that the Commission on Human Rights would be appointed at the May 20th meeting.
