PRESENTATION - ICK RINK STUDY COMMITTEE Mr. Dom Ruggiero, Chairman of the Hommocks Ice Rink Committee, presented the final draft of the Hommocks Ice Rink report to the members of the Board and read excerpts from it as follows: "The citizens ice rink committee reported to the Town Council in June 1985 and had the following recommendations: "The ice rink is one of the major recreation facilities provided by the Town. "T e spc trs inpk oigs aa s v oa th ach o thy spymsical education "Recreation in a community need not be self-sufficient. "This facility is utilized by a cross-section of the residents of the Town. - 2 - 025 November 19, 1986 "...the Citizens Ice Rink Committee recommended that a new committee be formed to study the future of the rink. The Town Council formed a new committee which consisted of representatives from the Larchmont Village Board, Mamaro- neck Village Board, Mamaroneck School Board, the Town Recreation Commission, Mamaroneck School Physical Education Department, Mamaroneck Town Recreation Department, the Mamaroneck Town Board and citizen members. This committee recommended a consultant be retained and the committee expanded to evaluate the consultant's alternatives which was presented at the September 19, 1986 Town Board meeting. "A lease-purchase turnkey approach was proposed by Viking Structure who would design a facility to meet the needs of the Town...and if the design were approved, the firm would construct the facility and lease it to the Town for the period of time until the facility was paid for." Following the presentation, there were several questions from members of the Board such as what the estimated yearly operating costs would be; would a profit be made; could the facility cover its own expenses; what the existing debt service was on the present facility; was Viking the only firm who did this type of work; would this facility include a teen center; could more proposals be received from other firms; was this facility necessary; could revenues be obtained by fund-raising programs; how much would have to be subsidized; would the school system contribute to the cost of the structure; was Viking a reliable company; could the facility be used for indoor tennis in the summer; was an indoor track a necessary use; could the facility be used for trade shows; could the Town lease the property to a private firm for operation by them; how many other private rinks exist; do other ice rinks earn a profit. Supervisor Battalia stated that a letter was received from Mr. Ron Keelan wherein some very good points were also made and she then recommended that the committee also make the presentation to the school board since some of the proposed facilities would interlink with them. Mr. Gasparini stated that Mr. Ruggiero has done a good job on this project and then suggested that it should be determined who would be using the facility as well as who was going to pay for it. He added that the community was losing its young people and that should also be taken into consideration. Mr. Jerry Sanders asked how old the present ice rink was to which Councilwoman Silverstone replied it was 12 years old and Mr. Sanders then stated that revenue was generated from other communities using it and questioned if the Town should have a facility like this at all. Supervisor Battalia responded that one recommendation from the Recreation Commission was that the ice rink be closed. Mr. Jerry Glaser stated that each year, the Town Board gives the rink "one more year" and, in his opinion, the rink was a loser from the beginning. He added that the insurance costs would be greater and also questioned why the taxpayers should support a new facility that will be used by other communities. - 3 - 026 November 19, 1986 Mr. Glasser then questioned why a teen center was being considered at the proposed new facility to which Supervisor Battalia stated that a teen center had been established at a church and a speaker added that it was only on a trial basis for three months. Councilman Lerman stated that there were many who would use the rink and many who would not because the needs of the Town differ and this matter was significant in that many have "profited" in their own way from using the ice rink facility. He added that a recreational program was for enjoyment and not necessarily to make money at. Ms. Betty Siegel added that many families have greatly benefited from the present rink and added that she would like to see the recreational facility remain. Mr. Dick Vombush stated that one of the reasons he moved to this area was because of the ice rink facility and added that the facility has increased the property value of his home. Ms. Marjorie Weschler stated that she was in favor of the proposed ice facility also being able to accommodate a teen center for the children. Supervisor Battalia then suggested that after the committee makes the presentation to the school board, and the Town Board meets with the Recrecation Commission, that this matter be placed back on the agenda for the December 19th Town Board meeting for final decision. Councilman Amlicke indicated that he was not ready to make a decision on this as yet and he requested additional time in order to review the alternatives more thoroughly to which Supervisor Battalia explained that was the purpose of the December 19th meeting; to discuss what to do next. In order to clarify certain questions which were raised, the Supervisor requested that Councilman Chapin investigate the financial end of the proposal and also that he contact the owner of a private ice rink facility in Rockland County to ascertain if that person would possibly be interested in operating the Hommocks Ice Rink facility.

DISCUSSION - MAMARONECK TOWN/SCARSDALE SCHOOLS ASSN. - GRIFFEN AVENUE Mrs. Lasky appeared and requested that the issue regarding a paved path on Griffen Avenue be reconsidered by the Town of Mamaroneck together with the Village of Scarsdale. Councilman Lerman noted that this was agreed to but Scarsdale did not follow through with it. Mrs. Lasky continued that the Scarsdale side was determined as the best location for the walk but that Scarsdale objected to "chopping out a path." Councilman Amlicke recalled that the Town Administrator was supposed to do a study regarding the need of sidewalks in other areas of the community as well and he questioned the status of the study. Administrator Altieri explained that the funds for the project were budgeted for the coming year. Mrs. Lasky then stated that a study of the "Mamaroneck Strip" was done which indicates the number of homes, the number of children in the area, and the number of children attending the Quaker Ridge School. She added that Scarsdale has offered the use of its recreational facili- ties to the residents of the "strip" but that there was no way to get to the facilities without using Griffen Avenue. Supervisor Battalia requested a copy of the study which was done and added that she would be in touch with Scarsdale regarding the path. - 6 - O?9 November 19, 1986 4.
