Commissioner Price then presented Commissioner Wittner with her badge and welcomed
her to the Board both as a commissioner and as a Board member.
PUBLIC REVIEW OF LEAF BLOWERS
Supervisor Price read the names of people submitting letters showing their support of the
continued ban on leaf blowers.
She then asked anyone who wished to speak in favor of continuing the ban to speak.
Marilyn Scot stated that the past year had been wonderfully quiet, reminding her of how
nice the community used to be before the overabundance of mowers, leaf blowers and
such.
Mr. Roniger, Stoneyside Drive said that he was pleased that the ban was enacted, but that
landscapers equipment is getting louder and bigger, and that during the fall months there
is no escaping the noise. He explained that he worked at home and the noise goes on day
after day, adding that mufflers should be required.
Alan Stein, Harrison Drive suggested that the ban take effect earlier.
Mr. Scot stated that the blowers start in his neighborhood at exactly 8:00 am and it drones
on and on.
Ernie Odierna said that he uses an electric blower that is much quieter, and noted that
homes look messier since the law but that quality of life is more important.and noise is
much harder to live with than leaves.
The Supervisor then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the continued ban.
Larry Ohrbach said he was opposed to the ban originally and still is, that his property is
large with many oak trees that cause the driveway to be constantly messy. He felt that
though he understood the noise was a problem, but this ban was not the answer, and
seemed to be ludicrous.
Gail Paley suggested that the ban limit blowers to Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to
4:00 PM and that only one blower be used. She said that her property was a mess and
that many people were not comfortable with the ban.
Barbara Meyer offered her dislike of the ban, noting that it seemed more onerous on those
who had larger properties.
Frank Claps, a representative from the Landscapers Association, and a landscaper and
resident, requested that a compromise be reached that would enable landscapers to
continue to do business and that this ban constrained them too much, increasing the
labor costs which would force him to charge his customers more.
Supervisor Price, in reply to a question, explained about decibel levels and the problems
incurred in trying to enforce them. She then asked the Board members to speak on the
issue.
Councilman Ryan said that until a better muffler or less noisy blower could be made widely
available, he was in favor of continuing the ban.
Councilman Weprin stated that he was an opponent to the ban, but he now would continue
the ban until less noisy equipment becomes available.
Councilwoman O'Keeffe said that many residents had spoken to her and were universally
in favor of the ban.
4
January 3, 1996
Councilwoman Wittner said that she was not sure where the hardship is on the
landscapers, there are still brooms and rakes and although not always reasonable, the
blowers are detrimental when used on grass.
The Supervisor thanked everyone for their input, informing them that there seemed to be a
consensus also about changing the ban to May 15.
The following subject was discussed out of normal order of the agenda.
2. Discussion -Adult Entertainment Zone
Mr. Silverberg explained that he had been reviewing the issue and it appeared that the
Town cannot ban it outright, but that we can regulate it. He suggested that the Town
adopt a moratorium allowing for a study period.
Fran Antonelli stated that this type of pollution should not be allowed in our Town and
Villages. She said that many are opposed to this type of entertainment and will help do
whatever it takes to insure that it not be allowed here. She added that we should stop it
now before it gets like it did in Port Chester.
Supervisor Price replied that the Town would study this issue with an eye to maintaining
quality of life for our community which is why we are suggesting a six-month moratorium
be drawn by our Town Attorney to allow for the careful consideration of all avenues to
best address this problem.
AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
1. Discussion - Re: 1996 Town Budget
The Administrator said that the Town Budget was adopted as presented in the last
preliminary stage with few changes.
The Supervisor noted that 1995 was a busy year, especially in terms of winter with money
being eroded for snow plowing and removal. She then offered the following: the Town
was continuing to suffer reductions to it assessments, with reassessment not being a
viable alternative that we could look forward to this year; the Sewer District issues needed
to be addressed and that we would be trying to procure funds from the State and Federal
governments to make necessary.repairs and upgrades; the Town would be implementing
a sidewalk project in 1997; that the Joint Sanitation District had reduced staffing by four
positions through restructuring; that the Board was looking at the Police Department
consolidation issue; recreation projects will dominate in 1996 and that the Board has
requested to meet with neighborhood associations.
Gerry Shanley thought that the Town should look to generate more revenue in 1996
especially with raising user fees for recreation and that maybe we should try to get a
marketing czar to help revitalize certain commercial areas, especially along Waverly
Avenue.
Supervisor Price informed him that the Town had put together a revised Master Plan that it
had updated and implemented during the past 10 years. She said that the Boston Post
Road is a big part of that revitalization, and the Town did it with staff, volunteers and
landowners such as Mr. Pepe who owns the Finast lot.
Councilwoman O'Keeffe said that she did support this budget because it was held to the
consumer price index; that the tax rate to Villages has not increased. She said her only
dissent was on pay raises to some staff that hadn't always kept the Board informed on
important matters.
5
January 3, 1996
There then ensued a lengthy discussion on reassessments, certiorari and challenging the
Town's evaluation rate.
3. Authorization -Consulting Agreement-Ward Associates
Mr. Altieri requested the approval of the Consulting Agreement with Ward Associates in
connection with the Hommocks Pool Project. He said that Ward Associates would
develop all schematic design development drawings, prepare all documents for review by
the Planning Board, CZMC and the BAR, as well as bid documents, assist in the evaluation
of the bids and administer the construction phase of the project. He added that the fee
would be approximately$40,000 which is 10% of the project budget as it stands now, and
in addition the consultant will be reimbursed for expenses for printing of plans and
specifications.
Following a brief discussion, with the proviso that changes are to be made to page 10 of
the agreement, on motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded b Councilman We rin it was
9 � Y � Y P ,

RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck does hereby approve the

the Hommocks Pool Project, at a fee to be set at 10% of the project budget and with
reimbursable expenses to be paid as outlined in said agreement.
4. Authorization - Insurance Settlement
The Administrator requested that payment be authorized to Coregis Insurance Company in
the amount of$1,000 which is the Town's deductible, in settlement of claim brought by Mr.
& Mrs. Healy, 43 Mohegan Place. He said that two trees owned by the Town fell onto the
house and deck of the Healy home, the total cost of which was $6,744.06.
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck does hereby authorize the
