The Supervisor declared the Hearing open and presented the bud- get, explaining the law governing the Hearing. The following persons were heard: Mr. Maurice Austin, President of the Murdock Woods Associa« tion and resident of 7 Split Tree Road, Town, who submitted the following questions which were answered by the Supervisor. 1. Clarification of and origin of the General Town Surplus. Z. Explanation of the $28, 000, 00 item included in the Highway budget, 3. In what item in the Highway budget the salary of the Highway Superintendent was listed. Mr. George B.

Explanation of the $10, 000. 00 item included in the Sewer budget. 2. Explanation of the Parking Meter Revenue item. 3. Explanation of the $800. 00 automobile item in the Engineer's budget. 4. An outline of the duties of the Superintendent of Recreation. Mr. Butcher's question led to a lengthy discussion of recreation, and of the Board of Education's request that the Town include in its 1957 budget an item in the amount of $7, 500. 00 for the sum- mer recreation program to be conducted under the auspices of the Town rather than the Board of Education. The Supervisor outlined the background of recreation in this com- munity, the formation of the Recreation Commission under the previous administration, and the employment by the Town of a professional Superintendent of Recreation on June 1st last. He, then, along with Councilman Santoro and the other members of the Board, presented, in some detail, a report of the recreation programs completed to date and those now being planned and im- plemented by the Superintendent of Recreation for the winter and coming spring and summer. The Supervisor pointed out that the basic problems to be con- sidered were those of the coordination of recreation in the entire Town, the consideration of what the people wanted in the future, and of how much the people wanted to pay for what they wanted in the line of recreation. At this time, the Supervisor requested the Clerk to read a. re- port received from the Recreation Commission under this date, signed by Walter E. Warner, Jr. , Chairman of that Commission. This report stated that the Recreation Commission had no ob- jection to the Town's taking over this program providing the tax- paying public clearly understood the matter with regard to the tax situation, and recommended a two-step procedure to be followed in conducting such a program should the Town decide to take it over. The report was received and filed with the Town Clerk. Mr. Warner addressed the Board stating that he was a member of the Advisory Committee to the Board of Education and he stated that while the Commission had suggested that the program be taken over in two steps rather than one, the Commission was by no means adamant about it. The Clerk then presented a communication from the Board of Trus- tees of the Village of Larchmont under date of December 4, 1956, advising that the Village of Larchmont wished to go on record at this Hearing as approving the inclusion of this $7, 500, 00 item for the stated program. It also noted that the Village Board would be willing to discuss the possibility of having the Town Board provide supervisory personnel over Village recreation activities should the item be approved. Councilman Waterman submitted a prepared statement explaining the reasons for his "no" vote at the last meeting of the Town Board on the matter of the inclusion of the $7, 500. 00 item for a summer recreation program in the preliminary budget., his stand on recrea- tion, and the part he had played in connection with recreation in the past. This statement also presented his views on recreation at the present time and on the inclusion of this $7, 500. 00 in the budget. The statement was received, filed with the Town Clerk, and marked as an exhibit to these minutes. Councilman Kane voiced the following thoughts with regard to this matter pending time for a thorough study to be made* (1) That he was for the inclusion in the budget of the $7, 500. 00 for summer school recreation. That he thought it should be available but not necessarily expended until a complete study and investigation could be made of the many mitigating circumstances and problems to be resolved. —" (2) That the claimed $1, 500. 00 saving to the taxpayers if the Town takes over the school summer recreation program has no basis in fact. That the Town is now receiving the maximum in State Aid. In the course of this lengthy two-hour discussion, the following per- sons were heard, all of whom, whether speaking as individuals or as official representatives of various Civic Associations, were in favor of the inclusion of the $7, 500. 00 item in the Town budget for 1957* Mr. Edward F. X. Ryan of 2 Thompson Place, Larchmont, speaking as a citizen and as a member of the Advisory Com- mittee on Recreation. Mrs. F. Warren Green of 9 Cliff Way, Larchmont, speaking as a citizen and as Chairman of the Advisory Committee. Mr. Jerome N. Wanshel of 6 Beverly Place, Larchmont. Mr. John B. Forrest of 198 Larchmont Avenue, Larchmont, speaking for the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Youth Club. Mr. John Stahr of 65 Briarcliff Road, Larchmont, speaking as an individual and as a member of the Town Recreation Commission. Mr. Marshal N. De Noyelles, Jr. , 22 Rock Ridge Road, Town, speaking both as an individual and as the President of the Rock Ridge Civic Association. Mr, Theodore E. Tuck of 76 West Carden Road, Town. Mrs. T. J. Morrison, 148 Valley Stream Road, Town, Mr, Andrew Steele, 156 Beach Avenue, Larchmont, speaking as the President and representative of the Larchmont Park Civic Association, Mr, Frank X. O'Donnell, 100 Palmer Avenue, Town, speaking for the Executive Committee of the Howell Park Association, Mr. Maurice Austin, Split Tree Road, Town, speaking as the President and representative of the Murdock Woods Association. Mr. Lee H. Bloom, 22 Myrtle Boulevard, Town, speaking as the President and representative of the Larchmont Gardens Civic Association. The Supervisor, at this time, requested the Clerk to read a commun- ication, in accordance with the writer's request that this letter be in- cluded in the minutes of this meeting, from Mr. Owen A. Mandeville, dated November 23, 1956, addressed to the Supervisor, and stating his comments regarding the preliminary budget for 1957. Following this reading, the Supervisor read his reply written on behalf of the Town Board. The Town Clerk presented a certified copy of water arrears received from the Westchester Joint Water, Works No, 1. The Supervisor inquired whether anyone else wished to speak, and upon ascertaining that no one did, on motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Santoro, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Public Hearing be declared closed. The following resolution was moved by Councilman Kane and seconded by Councilman Waterman; WHEREAS, this Board has heretofore made, compiled, and filed with the Town Clerk, a preliminary tax budget contain- ing the estimated probable revenues and estimated expendi- tures for the several departments, offices, and other Town and special district purposes for the year 1957; and WHEREAS, notice of the completion and filing of said tax budget and calling a Public Hearing thereon has been duly published on November 24 and December 1, 1956, in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, and posted in the manner required by law; and WHEREAS, a Public Hearing upon said tax budget was duly held this day, in accordance with the notice so pub- lished; and WHEREAS, all persons present were afforded an oppor- tunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, this Board has reviewed the items in said pre- liminary tax budget as required by Section 113 of the Town Law, TOWN_ Off_ NAIIARON'ECK ADOPT ED ETw7n TAX B'i 2n2GET FOR 1957 ®V®ERtlI50R GEORGE D.

TOWN RNGINEER Your Town Hoard submits herewith for your consideration the Preliminary Tax Budget for the Town far 1957. Herein you will find a detailed ex- planation of the anticipated receipts and expenditures for the coming year covered by this budget. ,.. The following table presents the overall comparison of the proposed 1957 Budget as compared to the 1956 Budget: Net Operating Budget Capital Budget Net Levy 1996 Budget $632, 589. 69 $632, 589. 69 1957 1956 1957 Budget Tax Rate 'tdx_Rate $641, 992.90 43„QQQ,.QQ $685, 992: 90 $1574 $14. 83 1. 01 $15a 74 $15. 84 Note that although the net operating budget for both years is approximately the same, the tax rate for 1957 is decreased by $-1. 01 per thousand. The primary reason for this lower rate is an increase of $2, 612, 000> in the, total assessed value of all properties in the unincorporated area, The total 1957 Tax Assessment Roll including all areas in the Town in- creases by $4, 867, 013. 00. _ l To assist in your study of this budget, the following points are called to your attention: 1. Department of Elections -- Increased approximately $7, 000. to meet the cost of installing Personal Permanent Registration in Westchester County. This is a non-recurring item. 2. Department of Assessor -- New appropriation of $3, 000. for outside appraisals in the preparation of the new assessment roll, 3. Recreation -- The inclusion of an additional $7, 500, for a summer recreation program now conducted by the Board of Education. Your Town Board did not recommend that the Town Government take over this program or include the said amount in this budget. It was only after a specific request of the School Board that the additional amount was included herein subject to further consideration of the question at the Public Hearing on this budget. 4, Fire Department -- $7, 000, is provided as partial payment for the purchase of a new Fire Pumper. The entire cost to be spread over a 3-year period. 5. Capital Replacement Funds The establishment of Capital Replacement Funds to maintain and extend our investment in High- ways, Sewers, and the Water Distribution System is provided as follows. 1. Highways $28,000. 00 2. Sewers 10, 000. 00 3. Water Distribution System 5�p00, 00 $43,000. 00 -3- 6, Salaries -- Adjustments in salaries based on duties, responsibilities, and comparable compen- sation amounting to $7, 010 , t=gether with increments of $1, 534, are included, The total increases amount to slightly over 214 of the 1956 payroll, 7, General Town Tax -- Provision for the use of $85; 752, 93 of avail- able t:reneral Torn Surplus ie made resulting in no General Town Tax for 1957. It is the belief of your Board that this Budget reflects a continuation of the long esta'niishe6 policy in maintain'"S, " services and facilities at a 1_irh level at mini.n°sm cost founded in a sound and economical plan of financing.

This, he stated, should be done because the Town Recreation Commission is not actually committed to spend this sum to take over and replace the summer recreation program heretofore conducted by the Board of Education, and it might be that after consideration of the various problems involved, particularly that of a consolidated recreation program in which the Villages would share, it would de- velop that the Recreation Commission actually would not apply the $7, 500. 00 to the summer recreation program.

This, he stated, should be done because the Town Recreation Commission is not actually committed to spend this sum to take over and replace the summer recreation program heretofore conducted by the Board of Education, and it might be that after consideration of the various problems involved, particularly that of a consolidated recreation program in which the Villages would share, it would de- velop that the Recreation Commission actually would not apply the $7, 500. 00 to the summer recreation program. On motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Waterman, upon roll call, the Board unanimously RESOLVED that the Supervisor direct a communi- cation to the Board of Education informing that Board that the Town had included the sum of $7, 500. 00 in the 1957 Town Budget to be available for use for a summer recreation program, and recommending the inclusion of said item in next year's Board of Education budget pending the im- plementation of said summer recreation program through the Town Recreation Commission.
