OLD BUSINESS There was no old business to come before the meeting. NEW BUSINESS a. Authorization for renewal of Certificate of Deposit ($50, 000.) The Clerk presented the following memorandum dated August 7, 1957, from Mr. Finson, Town Accountant. "Request for authorization for renewal of Certificate of De- posit in the amount of $50, 000, with the First National Bank in Yonkers from July 24, 1957, to December 24, 1957, at 2-1/2 Jo (Statutory limit in interest). (Interest collected was $750. 00 on original Certificate ma- turing on July 24, 1957.)" Whereupon, on motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously i RESOLVED that the Supervisor be and he hereby is authorized to deposit the sum of $50, 000. 00 with the First National Bank in Yonkers for the period from July 24, 1957, to December 24, 1957, at 2-1/2% as a Time Deposit. b. Authorization for collection of School Taxes (2 installments) The Supervisor requested a resolution authorizing the Receiver of Taxes to accept payment of School Taxes in two installments. He explained that the Legislature had enacted a statute last April permitting Towns the option of collecting school taxes in installment payments with the provision that no installment pay- ment carried a penalty of less than 2%. He further explained that this new plan would differ from the plan which has been in effect in the Town of Mamaroneck since 1934 allowing payment of the school tax in Z installments of 5016 each bearing penal- ties in accordance with the Westchester County Administrative Code only in the degree of penalties and in the number of in- stallments permitted. For the Board's information; the Supervisor further advised that in the Town of Mamaroneck last year only 35 out of a total of 6, 500 taxpayers took advantage of installment payment and pointed out that approximately 2, 500 of the Town taxpayers - paid their taxes to a lending institution in advance of the ma- i turity date and therefore would not benefit from this plan at all. Mr. Robert Garlock, President of the Board of Education, Union Free School District No. 1, then addressed the Board ad- vising that if the new plan were to be put into effect it would en- tail a loss of revenue to the school district in the amount of some $22, 000. , which sum the Board of Education earned by investment of school tax monies endin the time such funds P g were needed. In addition, he stated that the Board of Educa- tion had been informed by its financial advisors that in the event the Town were to institute the new plan with the second installment payable in February, it would necessitate the bor- rowing of up to $250, 000. in order to meet current expenses. This would entail considerable costs to the school district (the loss of some $22, 000. earned in interest plus the interest costs on the sum borrowed) which costs would then be reflected in the school tax rate. The Supervisor inquired of Mr. Leo N. Orsino, Deputy Re- ceiver of Taxes, what administrative problems would need to be met if the Board should put this new plan into effect at this time and Mr. Orsino stated that there were at least three items which would demand immediate attentions first, the revision of the tax assessment roll; second, the revision of the tax bill itself; and third, revision of the tax receipting machine. Councilman Santoro and Councilman Kane questioned Mr. Garlock, Mr. Or''sino, and Mr. Finson, Town Accountant, extensively with respect to the possible effects of this new plan on the school dis- 145 trict and its tax rate, and the Supervisor stated that the Board had given grave study and consideration to putting into effect. the new plan for the current year and that it was only after this consideration and deliberation that he recommended that the Board postpone any action on the adoption of the new plan for the current year in view of the monetary loss to the school district and because past experience had not indicated any great demand for installment payment on the part of the Town taxpayers. Councilman Waterman stated that he favored the adoption of the new plan at this time if it would provide any relief to the taxpayer in paying the ever-increasing school taxes and of- fered the following motion which was seconded by Councilman Santoro: RESOLVED that the Town of Mamaroneck permit the payment of school taxes at the option of the taxpayer allowing payment of one-half the tax bill in September with no penalty and the second half in February with a penalty of Z Jo. During the ensuing discussion, in response to the Comptroller's reiteration of the administrative difficulty involved in putting the new plan into effect for the current year, Councilman Waterman stated that he would amend his motion by addition of the words "to become effective for the year 1958-59" , which amendment was seconded by Councilman Santoro. In the discussion following on the amended motion, a question - was presented by a Mr. Roger Sinclair of 20 Harrison Drive, Town, as to the actual difference to the Town in dollars and cents which was answered by the Supervisor quoting the figures as stated and submitted by Mr. Garlock. The Supervisor then raised the question of the legality of the present Board taking any action committing a_future Board to apohcy. Councilman Waterman stated that he would like his motion as amended to stand and the vote was taken upon roll call on the amended resolution as follows: RESOLVED that the Town of Mamaroneck permit the payment of school taxes at the option of the taxpayer allowing payment of one-half the tax bill in September with no penalty and the second half in February with a penalty of Z Jo, to become effective for the year 1958-59. Roll Call: Councilman Kane - No Supervisor Burchell - No Councilman Waterman - Aye Councilman Santoro - No The motion was therefore defeated and lost by majority vote. Thereupon, on motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Coun- cilman Santoro, it was unanimously I RESOLVED that; pursuant to Section 96A of Chapter 62 of the Laws of 1909 as amended, the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck does hereby authorize and empower the Receiver of Taxes of the Town of Mamaroneck to collect the 1957 School Taxes for Union Free School District No, 1 in the Town of Ma- maroneck, and School District No, 2, Town of Scars- dale, New York, which, under the provisions of The -- Westchester County Tax Law, being Article 16 of the Westchester County Administrative Code, become a lien and are payable on September 1, 1957, in two partial payments, each amounting to fifty per cent (5076) of any such school tax as levied, FURTHER.

Mr, Vincent J. Ciardullo Mr. Ciardullo of 4 Cabot Road, Town, as spokesman for a group of residents of Cabot Road, called to the Board's atten- tion the unsatisfactory conditions caused by Thruway construc- tion and the use of the "new" temporary railroad station. He described in detail first, the danger and inconvenience caused by commuting traffic on Cabot Road and suggested that an exit road be built across the unpaved new parking area coming only slightly into Cabot Road from the station and turning left across the parking area to Wood Street and thus to Myrtle Boulevard in order to provide relief to this situation; second, he described the dust condition in the entire area resulting from the use of said unpaved parking lots; and third, the still unrectified drain- age conditions in the back yards and cellars of Cabot Road properties, Councilman Waterman stated that he felt this gentleman had a very real complaint regarding the traffic condition on Cabot Road and that he was in favor of asking the Thruway to build this exit road as suggested. Mr. G. William Capedanno of 6 Cabot Road, Town, proposed as an immediate relief at least over weekends that Cabot Road be closed to station traffic on Saturdays and Sundays as all such traf- fic on these two days could be handled by using Wood Street, which had been built by the Thruway to reach the temporary station from Myrtle Boulevard, as a two-way street. The Board was unanimous in its accord with this suggestion and stated that this would be done providing there was no legal restric- tion barring the closing of this street, Mr. Friedlander, Town Engineer, informed the Board that he had been advised that the Thruway was about ready to put a tempor- ary surfacing on the parking lots and that this, of course, would eliminate the dust condition completely, Mr. Friedlander further advised that Councilman Santoro and he had been working with the Thruway Engineering Staff with regard to the drainage conditions referred to and that they would continue to do so . 2. Mr. Edmund B. Van Hook " Mr. Van Hook of 198 Weaver Street, Town, urged the Board to take further action in order to control the speeding which was still -- continuing in connection with the detouring of traffic through Myrtle Boulevard and adjacent area from Harmon Drive. 3. Mr. Harold Blass Mr. Blass, Attorney for Briar Dell Homes, Inc,, referred to his communication of August 6th and inquired as to whether a the Board had reached a decision on paving Winged Foot Drive. The Supervisor advised that Councilman Santoro would cover this matter when he made his report later in the meeting. 4, Mrs, Vincent Nesci Mrs. Nesci, a resident of 14 Harrison Drive, stated that she had been notified last February that the use of her house as a two-family dwelling was in violation of the zon- ing ordinance and that she had therefore agreed to remove her tenant. This she had delayed doing, she continued, be- cause of the conduct of a nursery business with constant trucking back and forth on a so-called "paper street's lo- cated along the side of her property and immediately ad- jacent thereto, the storage of these trucks, the dumping of rubbish, and the existance of an unsightly and unsani- tary shack on the property of a neighbor and adjoining her property to the rear. Mrs. Nesci further stated that she was unable to enjoy the use of her home and property in the manner to which she felt she was entitled and requested that steps be taken to rectify these conditions. The Board referred this matter to the Building Inspector for investigation and, if the alleged violations were found to exist, directed him to consult with the Town Attorney. 5. Mr. William Eipel At Mr. EipelFs request, the Clerk presented a communica- tion addressed by him to the Supervisor under date of Au- gust 7, 1957, stating the request of The Larchmont Com- mittee for Contributing to the Development of a Storm Haven for Small Craft, Inc. to fill a portion of the Towns low land property, parallel to Hommocks Road, with hydraulic fill subject to the conditions listed in the communication. After a short discussion, Councilman Santoro stated that under the conditions set forth in Mr. Eipel$s communica- tion and contingent to securing the consent of the adjoining property owners, he offered the following resolution, which was seconded by Councilman Kane and unanimously adopted: RESOLVED that this Board hereby grants permission to The Larchmont Committee for Contributing to the Development of a Storm Haven for Small Craft, Inc. to fill a portion of Town-owned low land property, parallel to Hommocks Road, with hydraulic fill sub- ject to the following conditions- 1. The Larchmont Committee and the Hamp- shire Country Club will provide the dikes necessary to retain the fill. 2. The dikes will be so arranged and constructed to meet with other dikes on adjoining private prop- erty so as to provide flood protection along Hom- mocks Road, 3. Insurance coverage for Public Liability and Prop- erty Damage will be provided by the contractor, policies to be submitted to the Town Attorney for approval before work is commenced. --- 4. All filling, dikes, methods of work, and quantity of fill shall be subject to approval by the Town En- gineer before work is commenced. 5. The permission hereby granted shall expire on No- vember 15, 1957, and no land is to be filled there- after. 6. Mr. Roger Sinclair Mr. Sinclair of 20 Harrison Drive, Town, questioned the ne- cessity of garbage collection at 5:30 a.m, and asked whether it would be possible to have this collection at a more reasonable hour, which matter was referred to the Superintendent of High- ways for his attention.

The Board directed Councilman Kane to communicate with Mr. Epstein and arrange to discuss with him the matters with which he is concerned and to report there- ' on to the Board. i (3) Speeding in Town of Mamaroneck Councilman Kane reported that he had received several calls regarding the matter of speeding in the Town of Mamaroneck and requested that this be brought to the attention of the Chief of Police with a request for stricter enforcement of the speed laws throughout the Town. The Board referred this matter to Councilman Water- man for the attention of the Police Commission and Police Chief. Councilman Waterman -- (1) Compensation Increase--Patrolmen McGinley and O'Rorke Councilman Waterman presented a memorandum under date of August 7, 1957, from Mr. Finson, Town Ac- countant, requesting a resolution authorizing an in- crease in compensation for Patrolmen McGinley and O'Rorke in accordance with the Town of Mamaroneck Compensation Plan, and upon motion by Councilman Waterman, seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously RESOLVED that this Board hereby authorizes an increase in the compensation of Patrolmen McGinley and O'Rorke of the Town of Mamar- oneck Police Department, from $4, 695. 00 per annum to $4, 870. 00 per annum, effective as of August 1, 1957 in accordance with the Town of Mamaroneck Compensation Plan. (2) Starting Salary for Patrolmen Councilman Waterman presented a communication from Chief of Police, Paul A. Yerick, dated August 7, 1957, stating that the Board of Police Commissioners recom- mended that the starting salary for patrolmen in the Town Police Department be increased from the present rate of $4, 520,00 per annum to $4, 620. 00 per annum with yearly increments of $150. 00 until first-grade pay is reached (i.e. $5, 220. 00 per annum) in order for this Department to compete with other Police Departments offering higher starting salaries to new patrolmen. Whereupon, on motion by Councilman Waterman, sec- onded by Councilman Santoro, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Town of Mamaroneck Compensation Plan as adopted on January 2, 1957, be and it hereby is amended by changing the compensation plan for police patrolmen as follows: 5 Compensation Plan Town of Mamaroneck Adopted January 2, 1957 from: Minimum lst Inc, 2nd Inc. 3rd Inc, 4th Inc. Police Patrolmen 4, 520 4, 695 4, 870 5, 045 5, 220 to: Police Patrolmen 4, 620 4, 770 4, 920 5, 070 5, 220 (3) Reply to request of residents of Myrtle Boulevard, Harmon Drive, etc, Councilman Waterman presented a communication addressed to the Supervisor and Town Board by Chief of Police_Yerick under date of August 5, 1957, in reply to the request submitted by resi- dents of Myrtle Boulevard, Hannon Drive, etc, regarding traffic conditions in that area, which report was received and filed. Councilman Santoro -- (1) Request for installation of 6" water main--Ormond Place and request for 411 main--Larch Road Councilman Santoro advised the Board that Dr, Arnold Breakey representing Mrs, Edna Forbes, owner of the property to be developed, had requested the Board to authorize the installation of a 6" water main for a dis- tance of 180 feet in Ormond Place and a 4" water main for a distance of 120 feet in a new street to be known as Larch Road with the usual 9010 refund agreement and presented a cost estimate for such installations in the amount of $996. 12, not including excavation, back- fill, and pavement restoration, as submitted by Stanley A. Longhurst, Assistant Superintendent of the West- chester Joint Water Works No, 1, under date of August 6, 1957. Whereupon and following a short discussion by the mem- bers of the Board, on motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Town of Mamaroneck hereby authorizes the installation of a 61, water main for a distance of 180 feet in Ormond Place and a 4" water main for a distance of 120 feet in a new street to be known as Larch Road at a cost of $996. 12 to be paid by the applicant, Dr. Arnold Breakey as representative for the owner of said property, Mrs. Edna Forbes, FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant, Dr. Arnold Breakey, shall deposit with the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1 the sum of $996. 12 and, in addi- tion, shall pay the cost of excavation, back-fill, and pavement restoration, and shall comply in all res- pects with the Ordinance of the Town of Mamaroneck regarding street opening permits, FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Board approves the. usual agreement between the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1, Dr. Arnold Breakey, and the Town of Mamaroneck, providing that the amount de- posited by the applicant, Dr. Breakey, for the cost of installation of said water mains shall be subject to a refund of 9016 of the revenues derived from the sale of water to customers connected to said mains for a period of ten (10) years, or until the total amount of deposit is refunded, whichever event shall first occur. (2 Re Policy of 9010 refunds on water revenues At this time, Councilman Santoro brought up for the Board's consideration the Town's policy in connection With the grant- ing of 907o refunds on water revenues derived from water main installations constructed and paid for by the developer. He reminded the Board that the Supervisor had presented this matter sometime ago requesting the members of the Board to study the matter to determine whether the Town _ should continue or amend this policy. The Supervisor informed the Board that the actual refunds be- ing paid by the Westchester Joint Water Works were seriously affecting the revenues which the Town received and which were used primarily for the payment of outstanding bonds and in- terest. He also pointed out that this refund policy had been in- itiated many years ago by a previous Board presumably with the intent of inducing builders to develop property in the Unin- corporated area. He further pointed out that since such un- developed property was at a premium at the present time and that since such developments were partially responsible for the increasing consumption of water and thus contributed to the necessity for the construction of the new water supply line without actually paying for the actual cost of the water con- sumed or any part of the costs of this pipe line for a period of ten (10) years, it would seem that this policy was no longer re- alistic for the Town. Following some further discussion by the members of the Board during which Mr. George Schuler, present at the meet- ing, stated that he believed the Town should take this step at - this time in view of the existing circumstances and conditions, it was, upon motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Councilman Waterman, unanimously RESOLVED that this Board authorize the installation of water mains in the Town of Mamaroneck at the ex- pense of the applicant and without refund other than in exceptional cases presenting unusual and special cir- cumstances or conditions, At this time, Mr. Harold Blass, Attorney for the Briar Dell Homes Development, questioned the adoption of this policy with regard to precluding Briar Dell from receiving refunds since plans had been filed for the development prior to this date. The Supervisor advised that such refunds could be granted in the case of special circumstances and suggested that if such applied to Briar Dell, the application be so pre- sented for the Board's consideration. (3) Paving of Winged Foot Drive Councilman Santoro presented the cost estimate in the amount of $5, 800. 00 as submitted for improving that portion of Winged Foot Drive presently unimproved and recommended that the Superintendent of Highways be authorized to proceed with this work. Following a short discussion in which it was explained that the Town was obligated to improve this section of Winged Foot Drive and that the work would consist of clearing, rough- grading and temporary surfacing, upon motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Superintendent of Highways be and he hereby is authorized to proceed with the im- provement of that portion of Winged Foot Drive presently unimproved at a total cost not to exceed the sum of $5, 800. 00. (4) Requested sewer installation--Winged Foot Drive Councilman Santoro reviewed the matter of the requested sewer installation in Winged Foot Drive and recommended that the request for the Town to install this sewer be denied. He pointed out that the original developer had purchased this property from the Town at a very low price because of the necessity of the developer installing all utilities, etc. and stated that he felt the developer should pay the cost of such installations in this case as is the case in all other develop- ments in the Town. During the ensuing discussion, Mr. Anthony Gagliardi, who is under contract to purchase a plot in the proposed sub- division, again strongly expressed his opinion that the Town had an obligation to install this sewer at Town expense since the property was in the Sewer District and since, when de- veloped, this installation cost would be entirely repaid to the Town over a period of years. The Board agreed that while this might be so, it would take a great many years of sewer taxes to repay the Town and that at the present time, it was not feasible to make an exception in the case of this develop- ment, and on motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Councilman Kane, upon roll call, it was unanimously i I RESOLVED that the request for the installation of a sewer in Winged Foot Drive from the southerly side of the property of the Westches- ter County Park Commission to Briar Dell Circle, a distance of approximately 750 feet, be and it hereby is denied. (5) Compensation--Highway Department Councilman Santoro presented a memorandum , dated August 7, 1957, from Town Accountant Finson, recom- mending a modification of the Town of Mamaroneck Com- pensation Plan for laborers and labor foreman, and on motion by him, seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously RESOLVED that this Board hereby rescinds the resolution adopted on April 3, 1957 fixing the Compensation Scale for per diem employees of the Town of Mamaroneck; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board hereby fixes the Compensation Scale for per diem em- ployees of the Town of Mamaroneck for the year 1957 for all departments as follows: Laborers - $ 1. 90 per hr. Labor Foreman - 2. 15 " Sewer Maintenance Man - 1. 90 (6) Thruway Councilman Santoro stated that he would like to suggest for the Board's consideration the construction of a walk and staircase from Murray Avenue over the right-of-way of the old Pelham-Port Chester Parkway to Myrtle Boule- vard directly in the rear of Station Park in order to shor- ten the trip to the new Station for those commuters who walk via Murray Avenue. The Board felt this suggestion had merit and recommended that it be studied further. The Supervisor was directed to request the Police Department to make a survey of the num- ber of persons who would be affected by such a convenience and should the Town desire to proceed with this plan, to consult with Commissioner Harding, the County Superinten- dent of Public Works, and the County Park Commission, in order to secure permission for such construction on County property. In this connection, Councilman Santoro also stated that he had observed a dangerous drop-off located at the point of the erection of said proposed staircase and suggested that the Town consult with the County Public Works Department regarding the erection of a barricade in the interest of safety and the Supervisor was directed to do so. sp ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the meeting, it was adjourned at 10:58 p.m. , to reconvene September 4, 1957.
