I RECONVENE REGULAR MEETING The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Price at 8:20 PM CALL TO ATTENTION Supervisor Price pointed out to those assembled the locations of exits as required by law for public gatherings. PRESENTATION by Diverse People The proposal was presented by - Marvin Wexler representing The Larchmont/Mamaroneck Diverse People Committee for Building Community in Our Community: The Larchmont/Mamaroneck Diverse People Committee believes that it is important to build bridges between the different parts of our community. The following concrete proposals are designed to help accomplish that. A. Reaching Out Regarding Existing Community-Wide Facilities And Activities Certain facilities and activities exist in the community that enable the entire community to come together in a constructive way. But not all segments of the community may feel welcome there. The skating rink at Hommocks, the Hommocks pool, the summer concert series, Manor Park beach and the "tennis bubble" may be such examples. Steps should be taken to ensure that the entire community is aware of, and feels invited to partake in, such activities. Serious consideration should be given to outreach and to removing barriers to participation. For example, skating could be made free, at least for children; or if that is not economically feasible, perhaps one or more periods of time (one night a October 11, 1995 week, or certain hours during the weekend) could be designated as open to all in the community (or to all minors) free of charge. B. A New Lecture Series on Parenting Skills Periodic community-wide lectures on issues of concern to parents would bring together the entire community and would also otherwise be useful. Some "parenting" talks are currently offered in each of our four local elementary schools. This proposal would go beyond what is currently offered by attracting to the community people who have written on the subject and who are excellent speakers, and by making these into community-wide presentations. The lectures could be jointly sponsored and underwritten by all three local government units and held in the High School auditorium. If that is not economically feasible, then the talks could be sponsored jointly by the many Larchmont/ Mamaroneck houses of worship and held at participating houses of worship on a revolving basis. C. Houses of Worship Internal and External Interfaith Work Dr. Martin Luther King remarked that America is most segregated on Sunday mornings. Larchmont Temple and The Strait Gate Church in Mamaroneck are beginning to do something about that. Those two houses of worship are in the process of building a relationship. Rabbi Sirkman and Reverend Powell have planned pulpit and choir exchanges and are exploring joint youth programs. The Diverse People Committee urges local houses of worship to take concrete action along these lines: -- Establishing internal educational programs, both at the youth level and at the adult level, concerning comparative religion. -- Real experience in comparative religion, including invitations to other congregations to share in regular worship services or in special services (such as confirmations). -- Exchange of clergy with regard to sermons. -- Choir exchanges. --Joint youth programming during the school year. --Joint summer youth experience, including establishing a new program to send local youth to the Holy Land in an integrated group. --Joint social action programs (such as participation in Midnight Run, or working with the food pantry at the CAP Center). --Adding more substance to the semi-annual community Seder, and adding different events of this kind to the annual calendar. --Joint sponsoring of lectures concerning the differences between various religions and concerning inter-religious affairs, both historical and current. D. The Mentor Program As a result of work by the Diverse People Committee, the Mamaroneck School System has since last Fall conducted a mentoring program, involving more than a dozen pairs of mentor adults and mentor fourth graders. The program has proved to be extremely valuable, and is being expanded this year. This is an excellent vehicle for building bridges in our community. The Committee encourages adults to participate in this program. The school system is eager to have more mentor volunteers. The time commitment is one hour a week, and the meeting times are very flexible. E. Job Training for High School Students 2 October 11, 1995 The Committee is working with the School system on a program to prepare high school students to look for work, including how to act in job interviews and in the work-a-day world. If the program proves valuable, it could be expanded, and perhaps move beyond the High School setting and into such places as the CAP Center, which is discussed below. F. Soccer Leagues and Little League The battle of Waterloo was won, it has been said, on the playing fields of Eton. Important progress could also be made on the playing fields of Larchmont/Mamaroneck. It appears that most teams in these leagues have for years been assembled either with an eye towards winning or in an effort to keep together kids who already know one another. The Committee is of the view that these teams should be chosen in a rather different way - in a way designed to bring together as teammates children from different parts of our community. G. Community-Wide Elementary School Programming The Committee is of the view that more joint elementary school programming would help to build bridges within the community. For example, instead of all the 6th graders in one school coming together to perform a play, one 6th grade class in Mamaroneck Avenue School could pair with another such class in Murray Avenue School to perform a play, and the other two classes in those schools would perform another play, with both plays being shown at both schools. Joint programming could also extend to choir, band, and other such activities. H. Minority Hiring The Committee urges the various public employers in the community including the school system and the Police Department to hire more African-Americans and Hispanic Americans as faculty, administrators, policemen, etc. There are concrete steps that could be taken in this regard at little cost. Some such steps have been pursued by the school system, but more effort needs to be applied in this area. 1. Curriculum Enhancement The Committee urges the school system to include in the curriculum, at strategic points at all levels of the educational process, a serious and in-depth discussion of racial and religious discrimination. At the very least, that material should include at the High School level an in-depth review of the African-American experience (beginning with the ancient civilizations of Africa, continuing with the first notions in Europe that people of color are inferior, focusing heavily of the slave experience in America, and perhaps ending with reading works by current African- American intellectuals, such as Cornel West's Race Matters) and of the Jewish experience (beginning with ancient Jewish civilization, then examining the notion that the Jews are Christ-killers, focusing heavily on various persecutions, including at least the inquisition and the Holocaust, and perhaps ending with the efforts of recent Popes to overcome anti- Semitism). People in the community whose personal experience is relevant -- including people who lived under Jim Crow regimes, people who participated in the Civil Rights Movement, people who survived concentration camps, people who liberated those camps and people who hid or otherwise saved the oppressed --should participate in these discussions. The issues to be addressed should include: How and why did this happen? Could it happen again? To what extent is it still happening, in an institutionalized way? What scars did this leave on succeeding generations? How can we best deal with such scars? What other peoples or groups have been treated in a similar way? How similar and different are these experiences with discrimination? Also, significant emphasis should be placed on spotlighting heroes and heroism, including the Christian rescuers of the Holocaust and people who stood up to Jim Crow laws. Classes studying these issues should be as heterogeneous as possible. The school system should also consider developing curriculum, on all levels, in the areas of violence and conflict resolution. The CAP Center 3 October 11, 1995 The CAP Center could become a kind of magnet after school. The community should explore ways to enhance the CAP Center's programs, including the possibility of making it into a computer education center and the possibility of holding job training "classes" at the Center. K. Sensitivity Training The Committee suggests that all public employees in the community, including school administrators, teachers and other school staff, the local police, etc. participate in sensitivity training designed to increase awareness of unconscious attitudes and of inappropriate expectations. The Committee suggests that similar training also be made available to local merchants. L. Good News The Committee suggests that more efforts be made to celebrate and publicize the many very positive things that are happening in our community, including progress in inter- group relations. The media needs to understand that the news that is fit to highlight is not limited to sensationalist'bad news'. We also suggest that more opportunities, or events, should be created at which such good news can be recognized and celebrated. The current Village of Mamaroneck Centennial celebration is one such vehicle. One or more events should be planned in connection with the Centennial to celebrate the rich ethnic history of Mamaroneck, as well as the present-day ethnic scene. The Supervisor and Board members thanked him and stated their support for this group.

PUBLIC HEARING - Feeding of Water Fowl The following notice was placed into the record: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck on October 11, 1995 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible in the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to consider adoption of the following Local Law. This Local Law provides for a fine for feeding Canada Geese, ducks, and other water fowl on Town property. On motion of Councilman Weprin, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, the hearing was opened. The Supervisor thanked Phyllis Wittner for working on this law along with the Manager from Scarsdale and New Rochelle as well as with the County who is support of the adoption of the ordinance. She then asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor of or against the local law. Chuck (last name unknown),resident who lives near the duck pond asked about if there would be signs. When told there would be he stated that people don't care about the signs and they will just get thrown away. The Administrator said that to his knowledge most of the signs located in that area are still there, and he will make sure that when signs are placed forbidding feeding, there will be periodic checks to ensure they are still there. Ernie Odierna asked if the law would have an age limit. He was concerned that young children may unknowingly feed the ducks and their parents or grandparents would then find themselves facing fines. He suggested that instead of fines a bounty be posted. Supervisor Price explained that it is more a matter of dissuading feeding so that the geese population would not be encouraged to stay in that area. John Perone, supported the law but suggested that the Board members speak to the judges regarding the fines as they tend to have a better sense of what is excessive. There was then a lengthy discussion regarding the fine structure with the final agreement that the fine be set at a minimum of$25 and a maximum of$100. Thereafter the hearing was closed and then, on motion of Councilman Weprin, seconded by Councilman Ryan, the following law was unanimously adopted: LOCAL LAW NO. 11-1995 This Local Law shall be known as "Prohibition Against Feeding Water Fowl: Section 1. Purpose: 6 October 11, 1995 The Town Board finds that the increase in the population of water fowl in the Town has caused conditions within the Town which are disturbing to Town residents in their homes and in public places. The substantial number of water fowl in the Town and particularly on Town property, which is reserved for public use, has caused an excessive amount of droppings to accumulate. Further, the large numbers of water fowl have become aggressive in their actions towards individuals and particularly small children. All of this has resulted in the inability of the residents of the Town to fully enjoy and utilize Town conservation and recreation facilities. Further, because of the increasing population of water fowl, these conditions have begun to affect private property as well. The Board finds based upon extensive investigation, the feeding of water fowl by humans tends to increase the number of water fowl in areas where the feeding has taken place, and interferes with the animal's natural feeding, growth and migratory processes. It provides additional sources of food for the water fowl not found naturally and allows relatively small areas to support increasingly large numbers of water fowl. The Board further finds that this situation adversely affects the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the Town of Mamaroneck. Section 2. Definitions: A) Water Fowl: For the purposes of this local law, water fowl shall mean Canada Geese, ducks and other fowl commonly found in and around bodies of water. B) Feeding: For the purposes of this local law, the feeding of water fowl shall mean the placing of any food substance on Town property within 100 feet of any water fowl. Section 3. Prohibitions: It shall be unlawful for any person to feed water fowl on any publicly owned land, Section 4. Violations: Any violation of this Local Law shall be considered an offense punishable as follows: A) For the first offense, a fine of not less than $25.00, nor more than $100.00. B) For the second and any subsequent offense, a fine of not less than $100.00 nor more than $250.00 and/or imprisonment of up to fifteen (I 5) days. Section 5. Severability: Should any provision of this local law be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration of invalidity shall not effect any other section of this local law which may be otherwise capable of enforcement. Section 6. Effective Date: This Local Law shall take effect immediately. It shall be unlawful for any person to feed water fowl on any publicly owned land.

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN 1. Temporary Signs-Nathan's Famous 1265 Boston Post Road A communication was received from the Building Inspector explaining that recently Nathan's Famous parent corporation removed the franchise holder from the above location. Immediately thereafter they performed violation removals and general cleanup of the premises. As a result of that takeover, Mr. Khaldous Abroush filed a request for two (2) canvas banners to be placed on the east and west canopies for a Special Event- Grand Opening, which they hope to pursue as soon as possible. They have included copies of the application, a plan showing where the signs will be located on the building in relation to the Boston Post Road, a copy of their invoice with Signs Plus, a drawing showing the proposed signage, and three small fabric swatches of the intended colors of which the white will be the actual canvas (background color), Nathan's will be the green, and all of the other lettering will be red. Pursuant to the Sign Law, Section 7-D,. The Sign Law specifically limits the approval period to 15 days and no special events shall be repeated for 120 days thereafter. Mr. Abroush, General Manager, Nathan's introduced himself and reiterated the request, asking for permission to have the signs placed from October 16 to November 1, 1995. Following discussion regarding placement, colors and size, on motion of Councilwoman O'Keeffe, seconded by Councilman Ryan, it was unanimously,. RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby approve the request from Nathan's for special signage in conjunction with the grand reopening from October 16, 1995 to November 1, 1995. 2. Resolution -Statewide School District Financing This item was held over. 3: Authorization -Transfer of funds - Capital Project#93-4 -Weaver Street Firehouse The Town Administrator reported that the Town received a grant in the amount of$49,000 to install the elevator in the new firehouse. We have recently received a portion of the funds and will receive the balance upon project completion. The Town, to account for the funds, must make a budget adjustment to reflect the receipt of the funds. Therefore authorization is requested to adjust the project budget by the above amount. 9 October 11, 1995 On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the Town Comptroller to transfer funds in the amount of$49,000 to Capital Project#93-4 -Weaver Street Firehouse. 4. Authorization State Funding Contract VAC Dive Team Mr. Altieri said that the Larchmont/Mamaroneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps., in 1994 proposed the creation of a sound shore dive team for water rescue. At that time the Ambulance District Board expressed concern over the need for the dive team and the associated costs. It was agreed however that the District would explore the availability of grant funds from the State for this purpose. He said since then Assemblyman Tocci's office has arranged for the Town to receive a grant for$7,500 for the purchase of equipment for the dive team. The Ambulance District Board, at their meeting of October 5, 1995, discussed the grant and gave their approval to move forward with the contract. The District Board has indicated that the grant funds would not be distributed until VAC has submitted a revised proposal for the use of the funds. Also VAC has been advised that Ambulance District Funds will not be appropriated to support the operation of the dive team at this time. He noted that the final authorization for this contract does rest with the Town Board and if you wish to move forward, authorization is requested for the Town Administrator to execute this contract. On motion of Councilwoman O'Keeffe, seconded by Councilman Ryan, it was unanimously, WHEREAS, the Larchmont/Mamaroneck Volunteer Ambulance Corp proposed the creation of a sound shore dive team for water rescue; and WHEREAS, it was agreed that the Ambulance District would explore the availability of grant funds from the State; and WHEREAS, Assemblyman Ron Tocci has arranged for the Town to receive a grant for$7,500 for the purchase of equipment for the dive team: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Administrator is hereby authorized to execute any and all contracts concerning the above funding. 5. Authorization - Contract Renewal - Employees Assistance Plan A communication was received from Paulette Gabbriellini regarding the Employee Assistance Program which said the contract enables the Town to comply with many of the Federal Drug Free Workplace Act's requirements to offer drug and alcohol education, counseling and rehabilitation. The cost of the service is $25 per employee per year, totaling $2,875 for 115 Town employees and this program is provided for in the personnel budget. The Administrator said that in addition the program offers consultation and counseling to employees who may be experiencing personal or work related problems caused by financial difficulties, alcohol, drugs, etc. The program is completely confidential and employees may contact EAP on their own or be referred because of a work performance problem. On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, it was unanimously, 10 October 11, 1995 RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the renewal of the contract with the County for the Employee Assistant Program at a cost of$25 per employee, for a total cost of$2,875 for the 1995 fiscal year. 6. Resolution- Drug Free Workplace Paulette Gabbriellini wrote a memo saying to comply with the Federal Drug-free Workplace Act of 1988, it is necessary for the Town to adopt a formal policy regarding the maintenance of a drug-free workplace. The Drug-free Workplace Law requires that all employers prohibit the use of controlled substances and state the consequences of employee use. Mr. Altieri said that the Board must adopt a statement of policy. On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilman Weprin, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby adopt the following Statement of Policy: DRUG-FREE WORK-PLACE POLICY In compliance with the Federal - Drug-free Workplace Act of 1988, the Town of Mamaroneck has adopted the following policy: The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the Town of Mamaroneck workplace or worksite. Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and Including discharge for any employee. As a condition of employment, all employees must abide by the terms of this policy and also notify the Administrator of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring - in the workplace no later than five days after such conviction. For purposes of this policy, convictions include pleas of guilty and nolo contendere. Within 30 days of notice of such conviction, the employee in question is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal of employment. Alternatively, such employee may be to satisfactorily participate in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program. The Town of Mamaroneck provides an Employee Assistance Program throughout Westchester County. Said program provides confidential assistance for alcoholism and other substance abuse and is available for all Town employees and their families. The goal of the Town of Mamaroneck is to provide a safe work environment and a healthy, productive workforce. Compliance with this policy statement is of all employees. 7.
