MAY 7, 1997 THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD AND THE BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK, HELD ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1997 AT 8:15 PM IN THE COURT ROOM OF THE TOWN CENTER, 740 W. BOSTON POST ROAD, MAMARONECK, NY CONVENE EXECUTIVE SESSION The Work Session of the Town Board was duly opened at 7:00 PM into a Work Session to discuss Disclosure Statement and Restaurant Zoning Proposal. On motion duly made and seconded the Board adjourned at 8:15 PM to reconvene the regular meeting in the Court Room. CONVENE REGULAR MEETING The Regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Price at 8:25 PM. PRESENT: Supervisor: Elaine Price Councilman Paul A. Ryan Councilwoman Valerie M. O'Keeffe Councilman Barry Weprin Councilwoman Phyllis Wittner ALSO PRESENT: Patricia DiCioccio, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator Charlene Indelicato, Town Attorney CALL TO ATTENTION Supervisor Price pointed out to those assembled the locations of exits as required by law for public gatherings. George Latimer, County Legislator updated the Board on the following issues: 1997 County Legislative packages have been distributed, which emphasize two issues, the urging of reforming the Wicks Law and that the sales tax surcharge be extended. The sewer projects and the impact on municipalities, especially those on the Sound Shore, are being studies, with an eye towards a more equitable cost distribution throughout the other county municipalities. The Saxon Woods Pool would be closed all summer for a major overhaul. PUBLIC HEARING - Senior Citizens Tax Exemption MAY 7, 1 997 The Administrator explained that the amendment would change qualifying income levels for Seniors. The income is based on a sliding scale with a maximum income of$26,900. The Supervisor asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor of or against the amendment to the law. Renee Simon questioned why taxes had to be made in one payment per year rather than in two payments, like school taxes. The Supervisor said the payments are scheduled by State Law, and that she would have the Attorney look into the issue to see if it was possible to change the payment schedule. Ed Clarke said that he was in sympathy with Mr. Simon's stance, if the payment could be more spread out, it would be much easier. Then, on motion of Councilman Weprin, seconded by Councilman Ryan, the hearing was closed and on the same motion and second the following law was unanimously adopted: NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck on May 7, 1997 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible in the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W.

Purchase of Fire Equipment The Administrator said that the bond referendum approved by the voters in 1996 had authorized borrowing an amount not to exceed $500,000 for the purchase of an aerial tower ladder truck and fire equipment. We have completed the order for the ladder truck and delivery is expected in April of 1998, and although the bond resolution was approved to borrow the funds for the truck we are evaluating a lease proposal made by the truck manufacturer. At the current time, the manufacturer has offered a 10 and 15 year lease plan and the effective rates are 5.29% for 10 years and 5.39%for 15 years. The rates are very comparable to our current borrowing rates and we would save the cost of the issuance of the bonds. Our financial advisors, Evenson Dodge, are assisting us with the evaluation of the two alternatives. In the mean time however the Fire Department is requesting authorization to purchase the fire equipment intended to be part of the truck order. The total cost of which is $36,318. He said the purchase will replace older equipment that is no longer suitable for firefighting purposes, i.e., the Scott air pack bottles have an expiration date after which they can no longer be used for firefighting. In order to proceed with this purchase the Fire District would borrow the funds as part of the original bond issue. Authorization is required from the Board to proceed with this purchase. On motion of Commissioner Ryan, seconded by Commissioner O'Keeffe, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Board of Fire Commissioners does hereby authorize the purchase of the following equipment for the Fire Department: The proposed list of equipment and estimated costs are as follows: 12 Scott air pack bottles @ $582/each $7,032 6 new Scott Air Packs @ $2,600 $15,600 2,000 ft. of 5 inch fire hose $10,366 2- Soft lengths of five inch hose $920 2- 20 ft. lengths of five inch hose $900 Hose Fittings $ 1,500 Total $36,318 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 9:05 PM. AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN 1. Appointment - Beautification Committee On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Ryan, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby appoint Joan Williams to the Beautification Committee, effective immediately. 5 MAY 7, 1997 2. Set Public Hearing - a) Establish No Parking Zone - Boston Post Road b) Amendment -Veterans Tax Exemption c) Extension of Retail Food Moratorium Mr. Altieri said at the last Traffic Committee meeting, the local law to establish a no parking zone near the Lincoln Mercury dealer driveway on the Boston Post Road was discussed. Members of the committee discussed the proposal with a representative of the dealership and decided to request that the law be amended establishing a no parking zone for a distance of 20 feet on the east side of the driveway. He said that there would also have to be a resolution setting the date for public hearing on the Veterans Tax Exemption amendment and for the Extension of the Retail Food Moratorium. It is recommended that the Hearings be set for May 21, 1997. On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Ryan, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby set the date for public Hearing on the No Parking Zone on the Boston Post Road for May 21, 1997; and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby set the date for public Hearing on the amendment to the Veteran's Tax Exemptions for May 21, 1997; and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby set the date for public Hearing on the Extension of the Retail Food Moratorium for May 21, 1997; and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk be and hereby is authorized to publish the legal notice of Public Hearings in an official newspaper of the Town. 3. Designation of Lead Agency - Retail Food Zoning On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilman Weprin, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby designate themselves as the Lead Agency in the matter of the Retail Food Zoning. 4. Referral of Proposed Retail Food Zoning - a) Town Planning Board/Zoning Board b) Westchester County Dept. of Planning There was a discussion on the referrals for the review of the zoning on the retail food law. It was decided to refer the matter for comment to the Town Planning and Zoning Boards and to the Westchester County Department of Planning. 6 MAY 7, 1997 5. Authorization - Non-Resident Parking - Lot#1 The Administrator stated that because of the reconstruction of the Larchmont Parking lot, a recommendation was made to the Board to relocate nonresident parkers to parking areas on Baldwin Avenue and to Lot#4 on Myrtle Boulevard. He said since last fall the Town Clerk's office has been monitoring the number of empty spaces in Lot # I, and on average there have been 32 empty permit spaces and 47 empty meter spaces per day. The number of empty spaces is greater than we originally estimated, which may be because the total number of spaces planned for removal in the Larchmont Lot were not removed. Based upon our findings it does not appear necessary to continue to have the twenty non resident permits park on Baldwin Avenue or in Lot #4. Therefore with the Board's approval, the nonresident permits to be sold for the 1997/98 parking season will be for Lot#1. On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the parking of non-residents be relocated back to Parking Lot No. 1. 6. Authorization - Transfer of Funds - Pool Landscaping The Administrator reported that in 1996 the Town Board authorized the award of the contract for the construction of the new children pools at the Hommocks. The bid specifications included an added alternative for the installation of the landscaping for the facility. A price of$29,000 was bid by the contractor for the landscaping alternative. At that time the decision was made not to award the landscaping alternative and to seek other prices. We have since taken price quotations from two other landscape contractors which are listed below: Patzy Matera Landscaping -$10,921 Carlo Reca Landscaping - $11,400 Mr. Altieri recommended that the landscaping contract be given to Matera Landscaping for a total price of$10,921, saying that if the Board wishes to proceed with this proposal a transfer of funds in the amount of$10,921 must be authorized as well. The transfer of funds will be from the General Town general fund to the Hommocks Pool Capital Project Account. Following discussion regarding the actual landscaping and plantings, on motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the Contract for Landscaping for the Hommocks Pool Project to Patsy Matera Landscaping, who made the lowest responsible bid for$10,921; and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that a transfer of funds is hereby authorized in the amount of$10,921 from General Town General Funds to the Hommocks Pool Capital Project Account. 7 MAY 7, 1997 7. Authorization - Transfer of Funds - Gateway Signs Mr. Altieri reported the that Town-has been working with Meeker and Associates to develop gateway signs for the entrances to the Town.

Authorization - Helicopter Landing - PGA Tournament The Administrator said that the PGA Tournament in August will be televised by CBS Sports and as part of their telecast they will provide an overhead view of each fairway and green as well as the club in general. To produce this segment of the telecast they must fly over the course with a helicopter and they will need to land the helicopter on occasion during the fly over, which is scheduled for June 9, 1997. A rain date of June 30, 1997 has also been set by the PGA and CBS. He said Chapter 122 of the Town Code governs the landing of helicopters and specifically prohibits non-emergency landings except in areas authorized by the Town. Therefore the PGA is requesting that Winged Foot Golf Club be designated as an authorized helicopter landing site on the above mentioned dates. We will be requesting a hold harmless agreement from the PGA and/or CBS Sports for any claims that may arise as a result of the fly over On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilman Weprin, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the landing of a helicopter at the Winged Foot Golf Club, on June 9, 1997, with a rain date of June 30, 1997. 9.

Both of these locations are the same as used for two years prior to this. The sign on Palmer and Weaver is blue lettering n a white background, about g g , a ut 30 in. x 70 in. in size.

Authorization - Seat Belt Enforcement Agreement -Westchester County The Town Administrator said the County of Westchester has received a Federal Highway Administration grant for the enforcement of various laws adopted to prevent injury to citizens. Under the terms of the grant the Town would receive a maximum of$2,268.00 for salary expenses in connection with this type of enforcement. The grant is focused on the enforcement of such laws as seat belt usage, safety seats for small children, and the use of bicycle helmets. In addition, funding is provided for the enforcement of school bus safety. According to the supporting documentation of the grant there are a growing number of motorists that fail to stop for school buses that are picking up and dropping off children. The Police Department will be required to file monthly reports to the County outlining enforcement activities. Enforcement will be conducted primarily through safety stops set up by the department. It is a worthwhile program that will allow us to offset part of our salary expense. The agreement has been reviewed by Counsel and the Police Chief.
