Frank J. Cioffi 831.00
$ 15,888.50
Mr. Altieri explained that included in the list of fire claims is a claim of$831.00 to be paid
to Deputy Chief Frank Cioffi, and that Councilman Weprin contacted me in regard to the
claim and since he had questions, the claim was removed from consideration at that
time. The concern of Councilman Weprin was that this amount was being paid to an
individual. A question was also raised in regard to the purchase of a TV which was on
the receipt. I should clarify that the TV is not included in the $831.00 reimbursement. He
said that he had spoken with Deputy Chief Cioffi who confirmed that indeed the items
were purchased for the open house held by the Fire Dept. and that the TV was purchased
for the downstairs club room with funds of the volunteer department. The Fire
Department had decided to use the Price Club to purchase the open house items
because of the quantity of goods to be purchased and the lower prices offered. Unlike
other vendors, the Price Club will not accept the Town's Claim form for payment for a
purchase, requiring payment at the time of the purchase. Since it is not possible to
know the amount of the purchase at the time a check cannot be cut prior to the
purchase. For that reason, Deputy Chief Cioffi used his Price Club account to make the
purchase. Certainly, considering the quantity of items to be purchased, using the Price
Club was a less expensive alternative. Mr. Altieri stated that in the past we have
reimbursed individual employees for small purchases that were more efficiently
2
August 21, 1996
accomplished by allowing the individual to make the purchase. We are going to review
the practice to determine if further control is necessary. In the meantime I would
recommend that the Board of Fire Commissioners authorize this claim.

3. Other Business
The Supervisor reminded everyone that there would be a special election held on

fire truck.
There being no further business to come before the Commission, on motion of
Commissioner O'Keeffe, seconded by Commissioner Wittner, the Commission
unanimously adjourned at 8:45 PM.
AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
1. Discussion -Traffic Task Force
The Supervisor said that the Board was considering forming a traffic task force to study
problem areas such as around the school; to see if there is a need for changes in
signage or traffic flow patterns and to make recommendations. The proposal calls for
the task force membership to include a member of the Police Department, the Chair of
the Traffic Committee, a representative from the schools and from neighborhood
associations.
2. Authorization Lease Agreement-Town Center-Third Floor
The Administrator said that this agreement called for JAD Management to lease suites
302 & 310 on the third floor. He said that the spaces were previously occupied by
3
August 21, 1996
Parmann Mortgage, who were relocating to New Jersey. He outlined the following:
Parmann Mortgage will continue to pay rent through August 1996, JAD would perform
certain capital improvements in lieu of rent, which would then commence beginning
March 1997 for suite 302 and in December 1996 for suite 310, and that the Town would
be responsible for painting suite 310 as well as replace carpeting. Mr. Altieri requested
authorization to execute the agreement.
There then ensued a discussion regarding holding the old tenants to the lease, having
them pay rental for a longer period of time, whether Parmann should be held more
accountable for the lease terms.
It was decided to table this item to the next meeting.
3. Adoption of the Budget Calendar

4. Authorization -Snow Removal Contract-State of New York
The Administrator said that this agreement called for a resolution authorizing the Town
Administrator to enter into a Snow Removal Contract with the State of New York. He
noted that the Town has been working with the State DOT to resolve reimbursement,
which has now been finalized as such: State will pay the Town $57,771 for years 1987
through 1995, and all future reimbursements will be to a maximum of$8,253 per year.

5. Report of Bids a) TA 96-3 - Refuse Collection Truck
b) TA 96-4 -7 Yard Dump Truck
c) TA 96-5 - 14 Ft. Rack Body Truck
d) TA 96-6 -Sidewalk Replacement
The 'Administrator reported that bids for the above stated projects had been publicly
opened on July 31, and that the Town's 1996 capital improvement plan called for the
replacement of a sanitation truck and trucks for the Highway Dept.
Below are his written descriptions and recommendations for each contract.
TA96-3 Refuse Collection Truck
Under this contract the Town would replace one of its 25-yard collection trucks.
Currently we operate a fleet of three first line and three second line trucks used for
collection of rubbish, garbage and recycling. Two bids were received for this contract.
The low bid was submitted by Gabrielli Truck Sales of the Bronx, New York for$101,789.
Our original budget estimate for this purchase was $115,000. The funds for this
purchase would be raised through a five-year bond anticipation note and charged back
to the Town's garbage district budget. Generally we have timed garbage truck
purchases to maintain a relatively even debt service expense. Based upon the
intended delivery schedule, the first debt payment for a truck will be in 1998. In 1997, the
Town will make its last debt payment on a truck purchased in 1994. The funds will be
borrowed in the garbage district, which is defined as a special improvement district
under state law. A public hearing is required for the borrowing of funds. Therefore it is
recommended that the Board set the public hearing for September 4, 1996 for borrowing
funds for the purchase of a refuse collection truck. Our bond counsel will be preparing
the bonding papers.
TA96-4 71/2 Yard Dump Trucks
We have received bids to supply two dump trucks to the Highway Dept. The original
capital improvement plan for 1996 proposed the purchase of several pieces of
7
August 21, 1996
equipment. Specifically, the plan called for the purchase of one dump truck. The plan
also called for the replacement of a backhoe at an estimated cost of$72,000. We
propose to defer the purchase of the backhoe and substitute an additional dump truck.
As you know the past winter was severe and it has taken a toll on our fleet of dump
trucks that are the primary pieces of snow removal equipment. Two bids were received
for this contract and the low bid was submitted by Bruno Truck Sales of Brooklyn, New
York. The bid was $170,328.
We had originally estimated the cost the trucks to be $75,000 a piece. The actual bid is
higher than our estimate. A comparison with an identical truck supplied under a New
York State Contract reveals similar pricing. The price is only slightly lower but the
vendor is located upstate which is inconvenient for service and warranty work.
TA96-5 Rack Body Truck
This contract provides for the vendor to supply a 14 -foot rack body truck. Equipped
with a lift gate the truck is used for metal collection to haul refrigerators, washers and
other appliances. It is also used for hauling leaves and tree stumps. The current rack
body truck is over 20 years old and in poor operating condition. Two bids were received
for this contract. The low bid of$63,272 was submitted by Bruno Truck Sales of
Brooklyn, New York. The purchase of the Highway Dept. trucks would be funded
through two sources, existing capital fund monies and a bond anticipation note. Funds
in the amount of$97,800 are available for this purchase. The total cost to purchase the
Highway Department trucks is $233,600. After deducting the available funds a borrowing
of$135,800 would be required. It is recommended that the Board award contracts TA96-
4 and TA96-5 to the lowest responsible bidders meeting the Town's specifications and
further that the Town Administrator be authorized to execute contracts with the lowest
responsible bidders.

10. Authorization - License Agreement - 685 Weaver Street
A communication was received from Paulette Gabbriellini, Assistant to the
Administrator, stating that since the Town purchased the Monroe property, a Town
employee has lived there in the second floor apartment and has done the custodian work
13
August 21, 1996
for the building. The last caretaker was John Rosabella, a police officer, who moved out
at the end of June . During July and August a part time custodian cleaned the building.
The selection of a custodian/caretaker for the Monroe building was a lengthy and
thoughtful process. Applications were made available to all Town employees and
volunteers. Ten people applied for the position which involves approximately 20 plus
hours a week cleaning the facility. Eight employees were interviewed by a committee
which consisted of Kathy Kopa, Mike Orchanian, and myself. After interviewing all of the
candidates. we narrowed our selection down to 2 finalists. In addition to building
maintenance skills, our criteria also included ability to work with the general public.
None of the finalists owned a home or condominium, and our committee saw working at
Monroe as an economic opportunity for someone who was willing and capable of
performing the necessary custodian work. Terence Clarke, a Firefighter, was chosen
unanimously by the committee. Terry was appointed as a Town Fire Fighter in June,
1994 and continues in that position. We are confident that he is the right person for the
position. This license agreement differs from previous agreements in two areas: the
caretaker will have to pay a monthly fee of$125 for utilities, and the agreement is for one
year with an option to renew for 2 one year periods if performance is satisfactory. The
Town Board is requested to approve the attached license agreement effective September
1, 1996.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Ryan, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the
License Agreement with Terrence Clarke, for custodian services
at 685 Weaver Street; and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Administrator is hereby authorized to
execute said agreement on behalf of the Town of Mamaroneck.
