The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the Town Budget and
to hear the recommendations of the Budget Committee. The Town
Board members raised various questions on the budget which
were answered by the Administrator and the Comptroller. The
Board discussed the appropriations for the Library and its
accuracy in reflecting actual expenses. The Administrator and
Comptroller were instructed to make appropriate adjustments.
The Board requested that the Volunteer Ambulance Corps submit
financial statements with respect to their fund-raising
activity in 1984 and that a meeting be set up with the ambulance
corps in the near future.
The Town Board discussed the Town's share of the Senior Citizen
Center and it was agreed that a review of the senior population
should be conducted and whether this would have any affect on
State funding for this program.
The Town Board discussed the taping of _Town Board minutes in
1985 and it was agreed that an item would be placed in the budget
to purchase tapes. Effective in January, all Town Board meetings
will be taped.
After questions by the Town Board, the representatives of the
Budget Committee asked their own questions about the proposed
1985 budget. One of the Budget Committee's recommendations was
to provide a clearer presentation of expenses and any revenues
that may offset the specific expense line item.
After further discussion with the Budget Committee, the Town Board
thanked the Committee for their work on the 1985 budget.

The next item on the agenda was a discussion of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed County transfer
facility at Maxwell Avenue. Members of the Board discussed the
content of the report and it was their consensus that the
report was not complete and requires additional quantitative
information and other background material. On motion by
Councilwoman Silverstone and seconded by Councilman Lerman,
the following resolution was unanimously adopted on a roll-call
vote:
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby rejects
the Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for the proposed Westchester County Transfer
Station at Maxwell Avenue on the grounds
of content and adequacy specifically noting
the lack of any quantitative data to support
the conclusions and its failure to set forth
the underlying reports on other information
upon which the conclusions are based.
Supervisor Battalia VOTING Abstained
Councilman Bloom VOTING Aye
Councilman Amlicke VOTING Aye
Councilwoman Silverstone VOTING Aye
Councilman Lerman VOTING Aye
Supervisor Battalia abstained from the roll-call vote because
she is a Commissioner of the Joint Sanitation Commission which
is the applicant for the proposed transfer station on Maxwell
Avenue.
The Board then discussed Councilwoman Silverstone's memo relative
to the parking in lot #3. It was decided that this matter would
be placed on the December 5, 1984 agenda and so that appropriate
time may be given to study this problem, the Town Board will
consider a resolution to extend the permit expiration for twenty-
four hour and overnight parking permits another month.
There being no further business to come before the Board, on
motion by Councilwoman Silverstone and seconded by Councilman
Lerman, the meeting was adjourned at 11:00 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Steven V. Altieri
Town Administrator
