CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Price at 8:20 PM, who then pointed out the location of exits. Supervisor Price proceeded to read a letter that she had received from Michelle Washington, Director of Early Beginnings Daycare Center. Beginnings Early Learning Center 685 Weaver St, Larchmont, NY 10538 June 5 1998. Town of Mamaroneck 740 W. Boston Post Road Mamaroneck, N.Y 10543 Elaine Price. Town Supervisor Dear Ms. Price: As of Friday June 26, 1998, the doors of what is now known as Beginnings Early Learning Center will be permanently closing. It has been a dream fulfilled, yet a difficult one to maintain. It was my intention to write an open letter of thanks in the local newspaper, however, as a result of the meeting on June 3rd, I thought it best to simply send the letter as requested. JUNE 17, 1998 Thank you for your patience throughout the seven years of caring for children of this community, it will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Michelle R. Washington The Supervisor then said that there would be a discussion on the two proposals that put forth for the future use of the Monroe property. The first that will be discussed is from the parents who presently have their children enrolled in Early Beginnings. What they are proposing is that they organize themselves into a nonprofit organization, form an administrative board to run the business end, and hire a professional director to plan and run the day to day operations under the supervision of that board. The second proposal is for the property ,which abuts the Larchmont Reservoir, to be used as a Nature Center, with the building being used as the gateway to the Larchmont reservoir. Then Bill Zimmerman will speak on behalf of the Town Recreation Department because any decision must include the provision that during the summer our Recreation Department runs a camp at the site. She then invited Susan Goldberger to begin on behalf of the daycare center. Susan Goldberger, 28 Lafayette Road, said that she contacted Westchester County who was able to furnish her with statistics on daycare in the County. She said that 56% of all families needing childcare use daycare facilities versus 43% who use some form of at home care. Of the families using centers, 88% of the children are under 2 years old. The number of two income families is growing . She said that she had gathered over 300 signatures from the Town on a petition in support of keeping the site a daycare center. She said that many people had moved here based on the availability of Early Beginnings. She said a daycare center offers a philosophy that provides safe nurturing for children. She said her son had started there when he was 4 months old and is now 7, and that her daughter, who was 21 months old, could not attend because there is no longer an infant program. There has not been a lot of publicity about this site. There may be many others who need this service. This need seems more imperative than does the nature center. She said that there is nothing that would preclude having both daycare and the nature center at the site. She summed up that a proposal had been given to the Board outlining that they would work with a professional to formulate a business plan, have parent volunteers who will work on the business, administrative end, leaving the staff to do what they do best. Perry Ferguson, 119 Villa Avenue, said that Daycare and the Nature Center could co-exist with each other at the site, in fact, it could bring another facet to each of the programs. Susan Goldberger said that the numbers indicate to make the daycare viable, the center would only have to be half filled. In reply_to a question from Councilwoman O'Keeffe, she said that there were presently 18 children attending, 8 that are full-time, residents were the majority. Councilman Ryan asked why if the full capacity was 46, there had been people turned down who wanted full-time daycare. Ms. Goldberger replied that it was because of the way that Michelle Washington structured it around the part-timers. The Supervisor asked if there had ever been more than 25 children enrolled and was told that there had been when it was first started in 1992. Supervisor Price said that Saxon Woods takes children from 2 up and that they can handle up to 70 children; there is presently an enrollment of 55. Perry Ferguson said that the problem there is that they close at 5:20 PM and many parents cannot make it back in time, and that Saxon Woods would not allow enrollment to go to 70. The Supervisor said she would recheck it, but she had been told a slightly different variation of that. A parent said that another problem is that they close 3'/z weeks a years, Early Beginnings only closed for 2, and that she had been told that Saxon Woods would only operate up to 50. 2 JUNE 17, 1998 The Supervisor said that she had also visited the Liberty Montessori Daycare near the Harbor, and that they will be operating from 7 a.m. to 6:30 PM, with a capacity for 150 children. Their normal hours are 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and will be set up for toddlers. Susan Goldberger said that they were being thrown a variety of solutions, but they would have to mix and match to make it work. Mary Crowley, 103 Colonial Avenue, said that both she and her husband were full-time attorneys. They aren't always able to be back by six, and in her research was not able to locate a site that stayed open until 6:30; Montessori won't begin that program until September, but that isn't the only reason we chose Early Beginnings, it was also the quality of the program itself. Supervisor Price stated for the record that everyone here is looking for quality not quantity, and all the programs mentioned are of the highest quality. Alision Lowy, then spoke on behalf of the LIFE Center. She said that they are also a not- for-profit group, they do programs for 179 pre-school classes, 82 families have enrolled in other programs of which 74 have preschool age children. LIFE is involved in the cleanup of our local beaches and mobilize volunteers in the fall to help in the beach cleanup, and they have native plant sales. LIFE's program benefits the entire community. "If we could expand to Monroe it would allow more diverse contact, as well as having it function as the gateway to the Reservoir, making access easier. We could provide summer and vacation programs for children, families and seniors, we could organize walks and education. We could create a handicapped-accessible trail, develop evening lecture series, and maximize the unique value of the property which abuts protected land." Robin Kriesberg, LIFE's Executive Director spoke about the science curriculum that the high school has adopted with a new eco program. The Nature Center could allow the chance to teach life science, ecology, good citizenship, and it could provide a base of operations. Suzanne Carpenter, President of the LIFE Center, said that user fees could be charged to help support the center, and to provide resources. The LIFE Center will institute a fundraising project. There is a fundraising board consisting of 3 members from the LIFE Center and 3 from Friends of the Reservoir, who have already met. Don Watson, an architect and educator specializing in museums and nature centers, was introduced. He said the uniqueness of the property is astounding and the advantages to keeping'it open should not be missed. Kids would bring parents and grandparents to participate. He said that some work would be necessary for either use, but developmental funds could be raised and would be pledged to handle those matters. A non-profit corporation could be formed whose responsibility would be for the operation of the center and to control the use of the property. Councilman Weprin asked if there had been any conversation on this proposal with Larchmont. Alison said that there had been but only informally. Supervisor Price said that she has kept the Mayor apprised of the proposals from the start. It was explained that the building has four floors, the 1st and 2nd would be split with the Recreation Department, the 3'd floor would be for continued use by the custodian, and the 4th is used for storage. Suzanne Carpenter, in response to a question on the amount of funds they are seeking, replied that before goals could beset, there would have to be a decision made on using the site, then an inspection made to see what needs to be fixed, and a plan developed to give a dollar amount. She added that it was felt that a goal of$200,000 within a 2 year period was realistic. The Supervisor said that she heard there had been 30 pledges made already. Mr. Watson then was asked about his involvement with the New Canaan site that was similarly set up as a nature site. He explained that they had formed a corporation, nonprofit, and had taken over the property for that use; it was working well. 3 JUNE 17, 1998 Bill Zimmerman, was introduced. He said that the Recreation Department had been running a summer camp at that location for 7 years, and that enrollment kept increasing, and he had a waiting list with over 100 names on it. He said the Recreation Commission, who functions as a policy board tries to get a sense of the needs of the community. They have unanimously endorsed the LIFE Center use. Bill said that there was unanimity amongst the Board members that combining resources with our property and the reservoir would benefit the schools, allow year-round use of the property, give better access to residents, scouting programs and in many other ways. It would bring diversity to our programs, expand our camp program, senior groups trips, craft activities could be instituted, after school programs, the potential is endless, and the partnership is worth exploring. Debra Zeller, a parent using Early Beginnings and a teacher at the School for the Deaf, said that a combined use between the Nature Center and the Daycare Center seems ideal. 'Perry Ferguson questioned the parking logistics of the site. Mr. Watson said that he felt 'a solution could be found, but that even if it was a Daycare Center, a solution for parking was necessary. Susan Goldberger said that a Nature Center would generate much more traffic and a need for parking than would the daycare center. Jim Druker, said that there are few open spaces left in the Town, and this site should be left open to everyone. Lee Bloom, Chair of the Friends of the Reservoir Fundraising Committee, and former Town Councilman, gave a brief history of the site, and endorsed its use as a Nature Center. Mary Anne Johnson felt that money was not an issue; the Town must look to preserve its assets and this site is one of the few open spaces left. Laura Lavin, Maple Hill Drive, said that she came to hear both sides. She visited the site And saw a building that had peeling paint, and not in great repair. However, she felt that the site should have the broadest base possible which would be as a open site to be used by the public which would also retain the integrity of protected land. She then questioned the other buildings near the property and was told that they belong to the reservoir and were not part of the Monroe site. One of the buildings is a potting shed, another is used by a caretaker and another belongs to Westchester Joint Water Works. Councilman Ryan said that he wants a long term solution, and that he had read the Friend's minutes from a meeting that stated that the LIFE Center could try the site, and if it didn't work out they could walk away, which is not what this Board would be comfortable with. Lee Bloom, replied that comment was made by one person and was not reflective of the membership as a whole, and that if you study the history, you would know that there has always been a commitment to preservation. The type of commitment in perpetuity the Town gives the property will be very important. Supervisor Price said that certain steps would have to be followed and questions answered regarding the relationships between the different entities. Statistics and the dynamics would change; for instance the schools using the trails would increase. What would be the impact? A daycare mother said that there are a lot of nature centers in the area, in Greenburgh, Rye, etc., the use of which is normally on weekends, not weekdays, which is when the daycare center would use the site, so a combined use seems ideal. She suggested that maybe the caretakers house be used as the building that the Nature Center use. Supervisor Price said that building is owned by the Village of Larchmont, and they are charged with overseeing its use, not the Town. She said that the Administrator had visited recently many of the nature centers in the County, investigating usage, the kinds and stats on passive recreation. "These proposals change the dynamics of the area and the community, and we are trying to determine how and what the changes would be. Staff will report back on that in the near future. The Nature Center proposal always as implications for-the Village of Larchmont-which is another government that will have involvement . It's difficult and exciting, and there needs to be more input. More input is 4 JUNE 17, 1998 necessary on the daycare proposal also". She said that the Board would have further discussions at the meeting of July 15. Nancy Seligson, Co-Chair of CZMC, speaking for herself, said that this property is wonderful and is she sorry to see that the debate has evolved into kids vs. environment. The issues are painful. This property is unique and the opportunities are fantastic as a nature site. Amy Brelia, said that the LIFE Center would pay no rent and generate no revenue for the Town. The daycare center would pay, and would be willing partners to a nature center. Councilman Weprin and the Supervisor both said that the Board will take funding into account and there would be a review of many issues including dollars. Supervisor Price said that the Administrator would be visiting more nature centers and gather additional information. The Board has many questions that need to be answered and many points that need to be addressed before any decision is made. Specifics that certain goals can be accomplished must be shown, which goes beyond Monroe, since the Village of Larchmont is involved. Their property is part of this proposal, and we need assurances as to the long term commitment. We have to weigh many facts such as the types of activities, both passive, active and the impacts. She then suggested that the discussions continue at the next meeting. The Board then adjourned at 10:45 PM for a five minutes break. The Board restarted at 10:55 PM.
