CALL TO ATTENTION - Location of Exits Supervisor Battalia pointed out to those assembled, the location of exits as required by law for public gatherings. At this time, Supervisor Battalia delivered the following statement: "According to reports published in the Daily Times last week, Joseph Messina, attorney for Chief of Police Charles Baumblatt, distributed a packet of materials which make serious allegations concerning the Police Commissioner. "The Town Board is deeply concerned about these allegations. The Police Commissioner has denied the allegations in reports published in the newspaper. "In order to investigate these allegations further, we require more information and we believe the information must come from the source of the allegations. 478 "We are therefore inviting Mr. Joseph Messina to a special executive session on October 7, 1986 at 8:00 P.M. to present whatever evidence he has to support the allegations and innuendo contained in the materials distributed on September 22, 1986. "We also invite anyone else who may have information concerning these matters to contact the Town Adminis- tration. III "As reported, there will be a full and complete investigation of not only these allegations but the nature of the document itself, the contents, its distribution, and the individuals who made the allegations and will seek the cooperation of all involved. "Since this is a personnel matter, this investigation, including the meeting on October 7, 1986, shall be confidential so as to protect all of the members of the Town Staff involved. "While we will make no judgment until this investiga- tion is completed, we must state publically that the Police Department has, during the Commissioner's tenure, shown an increase in efficiency, morale and professionalism. The outstanding quality of our new recruits is only one example of this professionalism. "This inquiry will be conducted by Edward Lieberman, Esq. rather than by Town Staff in order to insure impartiality."

ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING - NOISE ORDINANCE At this time, on motion by Councilman Lerman, seconded by Councilman Chapin, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Adjourned Public Hearing be, and it hereby is, declared open. - 3 - 48®, October 1, 1986 The Town Clerk presented Affidavits of Publication and Posting of the Notice of Hearing. Attorney Silverberg explained that at the Public Hearing held two weeks ago on the proposed Noise Ordinance, it was the consensus that most residents were in favor of the restrictions regarding the operation of mechanical devices at certain hours of the day and the Board suggested that Section 51-3A of the Town Code be altered to include this restriction. Councilman Lerman stated that he thought this proposal would handle the problem best and that sound pressure levels during the day would have to be looked into but that this was a good start with perhaps further amendments in the future. Councilman Amlicke questioned whether the Town was excluded from this ordinance to which Attorney Silverberg stated that there was no specific exemption for the Town in the proposed ordinance. Councilman Amlicke then questioned the restrictions regarding garbage trucks to which Attorney Silverberg stated that the trucks could be driven but not operated. An interested resident questioned the language regarding multiple dwellings and Attorney Silverberg explained that if noise carried into other apartments, it would constitute a violation. A local resident inquired about the enforcement and penalties regarding this proposal and Attorney Silverberg replied that there would be a $250 fine and it would be enforced by the Police Department. Councilman Lerman suggested that local concerns be informed that a new law has been passed in order that they are made aware and so that they will not be in violation. A local resident questioned what constituted noise to which Attorney Silverberg replied any device or construction equipment which emitted sound. Another local resident inquired if the Sanitation Dept. would be prohibited from making noise at 7:00 A.M. to which Attorney Silverberg said no. Councilman Amlicke stated that "other device" as written in the proposed law was not specific enough and suggested that it be clarified. Councilman Lerman stated that all of the noise problems could not be covered in one law; only the main ones such as private carters picking up garbage or construction in the wee hours of the morning could be addressed. He added that this law was not intended to solve every problem. - 4 - 481 October 1, 1986 A concerned resident stated that enforcement was the question to which Supervisor Battalia stated that the Police Dept. would respond to complaints made by residents. The question of possibly handling enforcement through the Building Dept. was raised by Mr. Richard Mari to which Supervisor Battalia replied that it would be enforced by the Police Department. Mrs. Powers stated that she was in favor of the decible readings because trucks make a lot of noise just driving down the street to which the Supervisor replied that the measurement of noise was a very, very difficult problem to address. Councilman Chapin stated that he was in favor of the proposed ordinance until a more comprehensive law could be adopted and Councilman Lerman stated that he was in agree- ment with Councilman Amlicke regarding the use of the vague term "other device." Thereafter, on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and it hereby is, declared closed. After which, Councilwoman Silverstone moved the adoption of the proposed local law with the further clarification of the word "similar" being added to "other device." The motion was seconded by Councilman Lerman, and the following resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote of the Board: WHEREAS, this Town Board has met on this date, at the time and place specified in the Notice of Public Hearing to consider the adopting of proposed Local Law No. of 1986 and has heard all persons desiring to be heard thereon: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board does hereby adopt Local Law No. 10 of 1986 entitled "Noise Regulation - A Local Law to Amend Chapter 51 - Noise Regulation of the Town Code of the Town of Mamaroneck," and orders that said Local Law, as so amended, adopted and herewith inserted, be made a part of the minutes of this meeting: Local Law No. 10 - 1986 NOISE REGULATION A Local Law to Amend Chapter 51 - Noise Regulation of the Town Code of the Town of Mamaroneck - 5 - 482 October 1, 1986 Section I - Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to clarify the time periods during which it would be unlawful to engage in certain types of activities which cause disturbances to individuals in their homes and thus affect the public health, safety and welfare.

He also stated that he felt that their expertise was necessary to answer any questions the Town Board might have. - 6 - 483 October 1, 1986 Supervisor Battalia requested that Councilman Amlicke once again extend another invitation to.the Larchmont Library Board of Trustees in order to have their input regarding the proposed computerization of the Library.

Mrs. Dimetradis thanked the Town Attorney for his letter and then stated that she had been in touch with County Legislator, Diane Keane, who was unaware of the problems caused by the incinerator. Supervisor Battalia then outlined all the steps she had taken with other levels of government on behalf of Mrs. Dimetradis and others regarding this issue. - 12 - 490 October 1, 1986 Supervisor Battalia suggested that calls be continued to the Westchester County Board of Health and perhaps some legislation would be drawn up by them increasing the fines.
