AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN 1. Presentation of 1997 Annual Report Paulette Gabbriellini, Assistant to the Administrator, explained that this is the first Annual Report prepared by the Town since 1959. The project had been started by a summer intern who had been assigned the project by, and worked with, the Administrator. She had taken it over and completed the report. The report is a snapshot of activities of the Town, showing an overview of all departments, and includes information on volunteer boards and committees. Also included is the annual financial report prepared by the Town's auditors. She said that extra copies could be obtained in. the Town Clerk's Office, as well as in the libraries. The Administrator thanked her, and said that neighborhood associations would be given copies and that all volunteers on the Town's committees and boards would be sent copies. He said that the Town is in excellent financial condition, surpluses were up, and expenditures fell below projections, which is attributed to a mild winter resulting in less expenditures for snow removal, and lower insurance rates because of a good loss ratio. Robert Wassman said that it was an impressive document. The Board members also said they were pleased with the report and thanked the Administrator and Ms. Gabbriellini. 2. Resolution of Endorsement- Environmental Protection Fund Applications There was no paperwork distributed for this item, but Mr. Altieri explained that authorization from the Board was necessary to enable him to apply for these funds.

Resolution -Clean Air/Clean Water Bond Act - Inspection Station Program The Administrator said that at the last Board meeting a resolution had been adopted regarding this program, which provided grants of$5,000 to certified vehicle inspection stations helping them to purchase new vehicle emission testing equipment. The previously adopted resolution did not precisely follow required wording, therefore the new proposed resolution distributed in the Board packets will have to be adopted.

"It appears now that the WJWW and the property owner have reached agreement for the purchase of this property. At the time that this matter was first brought to the attention of the Board, the sale price of the property was $3.9 million. After further negotiations, the price has been reduced to $3,550,000 for the purchase of the property. The Town's share of this project would be 21.7% or$770,350. Bond Counsel is revising the bond resolution previously prepared for this borrowing, however the Board must set a public hearing to further consider the matter."

Dated: Mamaroneck, New York June 7, 1998 BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK BY: Patricia A. DiCioccio Town Clerk Section 4. This Order shall take effect immediately. The question or the adoption of the foregoing order was duly put to a vote on roll call, which resulted as follows: Councilwoman Wittner VOTING AYE Councilman Weprin VOTING AYE Councilwoman O'Keeffe VOTING AYE Councilman Ryan VOTING AYE Supervisor Price VOTING AYE The order was thereupon declared duly adopted. 6. Authorization -Agreement for Collection Services -Ambulance District The Administrator explained that over the last several months we have been researching alternate collection services companies to help the Town with the collection of overdue ambulance service bills. At present Holdsworth Associates handles our billing activities and acts as liaison with customers and medical insurance providers. We then contracted with a company named Collectech to provide collection services on overdue bills. Although Collectech was the least expensive service because there is only a one-time account charge per bill, they have not been effective in collecting past due accounts. In total there are $462,804 in billings that are older than 90 days. Of the $140,462 in billings 7 JUNE 3, 1998 to be written off, the largest component, $54,023, are partial balances on resident customer accounts. This amount represents the portion of billing that is not covered by medical insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. The other categories of write-off bills are those that are so small that the amount of the bill does not warrant the cost of collection or are deemed uncollectible due to their age. Based upon the recommended write-off, a balance of$322,342 will be referred for collection. Our collection efforts will be targeted at resident customers that have not provided insurance information and the full balance of the account remains unpaid. Also, nonresident customers will be referred to collection services. Councilwoman Wittner questioned the percentage of,loss and commented that it seems high. The Administrator replied that 63% of billings had been collected which was slightly higher than normal, but that they intended to be more aggressive. The Administrator added that the Town evaluated proposals from three collection service companies, and he had given the Board members a listing of the firms and their fees. Also, we have projected the cost of collection services and the estimated net return. The balance of$560,242 is derived from the overdue balance as of March 15, 1998 and a projection of accounts that will be referred to collection. Based upon our current experience the district bills approximately 125 calls per month. On average 25 accounts are referred to collection each month. After review of the proposals, the recommendation of the Ambulance District Board and staff is to contract with CCI of Danbury, , Connecticut. In addition to this summary, the Board has received a copy of CCI's proposal, a comparison of 3 collecion proposals and the projected costs of return of the 3 collection proposals. The major difference in this new arrangement is that the fee will include a fixed charge and a contingency fee. Besides their competitive fees, CCI is recommended due to their extensive experience in medical bill collections. They are especially well experienced in ambulance services. CCI is currently the collection service for Stamford, Greenwich, and Danbury EMS Services. CCI also showed a greater willingness to adjust their collection program to our community. For instance CCI will work with the Town when preparing the collection letter to be sent to Town residents. Therefore subject to the approval of the form of contract by the Town Attorney, authorization is requested to execute an agreement for collection services with CCI of Danbury, Connecticut. Following discussion, On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize, at the recommendation of the Ambulance District Board, that contract for Ambulance District Collections be awarded to CCI of Danbury, Connecticut; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Administrator is hereby authorized to execute said contract on behalf of the Town. 7. Renewal of Enhanced 911 Agreement The Administrator outlined the proposed renewal agreement for the continuation of the Enhanced 911 system in Westchester County. The agreement is essentially the same as the original agreement which was approved by the municipalities in 1993. The County government continues to assume responsibility to act as liaison with the telephone company for the installation and maintenance of the 911 network. The Town is responsible for staffing and maintaining the answering points which include police headquarters and fire headquarters. One new component of the agreement is a provision that will allow for a 311 system to be installed as a part of the 911 system. In some areas of the United States a 311 system has been installed for non-emergency calls to police and fire departments: If the capability becomes available in this area, the County has agreed to install the system. The agreement has been reviewed by Counsel and the Police Department. Authorization is therefore requested to execute this agreement with the County of Westchester. 8 JUNE 3, 1998 On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the renewal of agreement with Westchester County for the Emergency 911 service; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Administrator is hereby authorized to execute said contract on behalf of the Town.

She added that Rollerdome as part of their contract had provided paving, curbing, and air conditioning at the rink. 12 JUNE 3"1998 Councilwoman O'Keeffe said in spite of her original reservations about Rollerdome, it seems to be working very well. Supervisor Price said that there would also be new plantings put around the pool. 9. Discussion - Noise Barriers - New York State Thruway The Supervisor said that she had received a letter from the New York State Thruway Authority regarding the new noise policy along 1-87 and 1-95 as a result of a study that had been done. They have created a list of the 20 highest priority locations most effected by noise. She said based on the Town's being one of the prioritized communities, it would be necessary to decide between visual screening and/or sound along the area surrounding Vine Street. Visual screening will receive attention first, with the provision that should the community so choose they can contribute towards the sound barriers. There are three priority lists in the Town and Larchmont, with the Town being designated number 10 from Chatsworth to the toll barrier, adding that she was not sure what the impact would be on the apartment buildings. The Village of Larchmont has opted for wooden barriers across from us, if we get concrete, it may make the situation worse. The Village had written to the State asking for the visual option for the Town by mistake. She said the decision has to be made by June 30. She said that she intended to clarify with Chris Wade how much higher on the list the Town would be placed if we decided-to contribute towards the concrete barriers. There was no fixed amount or percentage mentioned so we have to ask what the criteria would be for that. There was further discussion and it was decided that the Supervisor would attempt to have the issues involved clarified before any decisions were made. 10.

"As we look toward the expansion of responsibilities for children's programming at the Monroe Property and his management of capital construction projects it is appropriate to consider having this salary be more competitive with salaries of other Superintendents in the County. Based upon the above, the recommendation is to adjust the salary from $73,250 to $75,000. The amount is still within the salary ranges set by the Town for this position and is equal to the average 1997 salary for Recreation Superintendents in communities comparable to the Town of Mamaroneck." On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, it was unanimously, RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the increase of Salary to William Zimmerman, Superintendent of Recreation, to $75,000, effective May 1, 1998. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Ernie Odierna thanked everyone on the Board who participated in the neighborhood association party that had been held last Saturday. He said as a result of the block party they had many new members. He said the annual meeting of the association would be held on June 251h at the Fire House and everyone was welcomed to join in. SUPERVISOR REPORTS Supervisor Price said that she had toured the Brook area and that many of the rocks that had been placed there to prevent erosion had been thrown into the Brook. She said that many of the flowers are being picked. She asked that people in that area keep an eye out for indiscriminate pickers and rock throwers. Councilwoman Wittner added that children need to be taught that those plants, flowers and rocks are placed to help stop erosion. The Supervisor announced that at the Board meeting to be held on June 17th, proposals would be considered for the future of the Monroe site. The two proposals to be discussed are the continuation of day care under parent management, or use of the site for a nature center, using the building as a gateway to the reservoir, with continued use 16 JUNE 3, 1998 as a camp during the summer by our Recreation Department. Anyone interested was invited to attend. She reported that a meeting was held by the County Executive on Monday, which she attended, on the inflow/infiltration issue, and that a statement would be made by him shortly. Overall she said she felt positive by what was happening, it is constructive and productive. Supervisor Price then read the following proclamations, saying that she was sorry that she had missed Joe Vandernoot's 90th birthday party, but that Councilmembers Ryan, Wittner, O'Keeffe, and Weprin had all attended and said they had a great time.

BOSTON POST ROAD, MAMARONECK, NEW YORK WORK SESSION: Discussion on the Monroe School Property. I PRESENT: Supervisor Elaine Price Councilwoman Valerie M. O'Keeffe Councilwoman Phyllis Wittner ALSO PRESENT: . Patricia DiCioccio, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator Paulette Gabbriellini, Assistant to the Administrator Supervisor Price opened the work session at 6:30 PM. Someone asked if the two other Board members would be attending this meeting. The Supervisor replied that Councilman Weprin had missed his train, but would be here soon, and that Councilman .Ryan was expected momentarily, he was on his way back from New Jersey. Supervisor Price then stated that there were a number of concerns with regard to how Early Beginnings has been viewed for the past seven years. She said that she had always been on the frontline on this matter, she had been in favor of it, had fought for it and could provide tapes to that effect. But now she was concerned, it has not worked out well. Someone asked her what the Recreation Department's role was in regard to this property. She replied that they are in charge of all recreation spaces and that this site was used as a camp during the summer by the Recreation Department. Councilman Ryan arrived. Susan Goldberger, a Larchmont resident said that she strongly believes in day care versus home care of children and that she has statistics from the County that show that X66% of families need it because of work, 23% of those are single parents. Early ,=.Beginnings is one of the few places that took a younger age group and that provided longer hours of care. They have a professional staff and daycare is needed in this community. She said that she had circulated a petition in favor of keeping it a daycare center, and within one week she had gathered approximately 200-250 signatures. She said many people had moved to Larchmont because of the availability of a full-time daycare center. "Our children learn to socialize, and the infant population feeds the older population because once-you start there you stay." She said that there has been a lack of promotion and publicity about the place. Supervisor Price in reply to a question said that there were two proposals for this site, one would be to keep it a daycare center, under new management, and the other is for a nature center. One mother commented that children should win over nature. V Another person said that it would be a shame to have to start a new center somewhere else as this site already met all the stringent requirement necessary to license a center, and that given a chance, new management could do wonders. Jeremy Geelan submitted proposals to the Supervisor. He said that he understood that the present director was suffering, but does not understand why that means it has to close. "Many parents are willing to offer their expertise, time and energies to keep it going. We want to continue the program because of the strengths of the facility. Why not let us attempt to correct some of the problems." He said that he had researched other centers and knows that Early Beginnings had been grossly mismanaged, but given June 3, 1998 the chance he thought it could be turned around. He said the proposal outlined an organization whereby the parents would run the administration and hire a professional director and staff. He said that the proposal also had a description of the program including starting to publicize the facility. Councilman Weprin arrived at 7:30 PM. The gentleman continued saying that Harrison had 4 such facilities with parent-run Boards, and hired Directors that are answerable to the Board. Harrison has a population of 27,000 and serves 210 children. Supervisor Price said that there is some confusion. The Town was not involved in childcare; the Town leased the facility for that purpose, and that the problem with Early Beginnings had continued now for a few years. Susan Goldberger, said that the parents had continually offered to help Michelle, but their assistance was rejected. Mr. Geelan said that people are angry. The Supervisor asked him why. He answered that because the parents are just hearing about this closing and the problems now, we should have been told, there's been no official notification. Supervisor Price informed him that the Town hadn't been officially notified either. This `natter had been well-publicized, both in the newspapers, in the newsletters, and on LMC/TV, but ultimately, it was the director who had that responsibility. She then asked that if everyone is so motivated, why hadn't they taken it over before this? "Many of you knew of the problems." Some said that most of them did not know. The Supervisor said that she had told their Board that there was a problem, they knew the rent was behind, and at one point the IRS had stepped in because of payroll taxes not being paid. Susan said that you couldn't talk to Michelle, it was hers, but give us a chance, and it will be different. Supervisor Price said that at the June 17" meeting, a discussion would be held on the proposals. The Board has many questions; the figures for Larchmont/Mamaroneck in the proposal are wrong and have to be changed; why if the site was licensed for up to 70 children were there never even close to full capacity? She said that Montessori had moved into the Washington Arms building and would be opening a center in September. They presently have 40 enrollments, but room for 140, accepting ages from 3-6, and are looking at expanding their hours. And another issue is that she was not persuaded that Early Beginnings had a problem because of a lack of publicity. Saxon Woods and Montessori do not advertise a lot, but word of mouth about them is strong. She was troubled by the lack of awareness the parents had regarding Early Beginnings, as well as that in the seven year history of the site, it had never had full capacity. Mr. Geelan said that it was because it had the wrong director. If certain types of customers came through the doors who appeared to have problems with African- Americans, she made it worse. Supervisor Price suggested that he be careful not to overstate by making comments that are hard to take into account and even harder to prove. Councilman Ryan said that he has always been a proponent of daycare, but there are only 18 children enrolled there. Where is the demand? He said that he was disappointed and baffled that it didn't work out. The Supervisor repeated that the discussion regarding the site would be held at the June i7, 1998 Board meeting. ADJOURNMENT The Board then adjourned the discussion on childcare at 8:10 PM. Patricia A. DiCioccio, Town Clerk C:\MSOFFICE\WINWORD\MINUTES\98MINF\6-03x.Spec.doc 2
