Mr. Bloom announced that Supervisor Goldsmith is continuing to progress well and is on the way to recovery. At this time Deputy Supervisor Bloom referred to the Town Board meet- ing of February 24th and noted that it had been brought to his attention that during that meeting he had made certain remarks, which he did not recall having made. He further stated that he finds it totally abhorrent to disparage any group, and he wished to made it known that he does not feel that way, and anyone who knows him, knows he does not feel that way. He stated that he regrets any such statement and agrees that any such statement made at any time is inexcusable. Therefore, he publicly apol- ogized if any statement made by his was offensive.

PUBLIC HEARING; Special Permit Application - Proposed Nursery School Larchmont Acres Due to the fact that only three members of the Town Board were present at this meeting, the Attorney for the Applicant of the Special Permit Application requested a postponement of this public hearing until a sub- sequent meeting when more members of the Board would be in attendance. Thereupon, on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby postpones the public hearing relative to the special permit application for a proposed nursery school at Larchmont Acres until the next regular meeting of this Board to be held on March 31, 1982. OLD BUSINESS 1. Larchmont Village's Request - Resolution re Town's $10,000 Contri- bution re Flint Park Fields Deputy Supervisor Bloom made reference to the letter addressed to the Town Attorney by the Larchmont Village Attorney and the provisions therein and noted that although the Town has made their position clear on this matter, the request would be honored in the spirit of cooper- ation. Councilman Amlicke spoke of his discussion on this subject with Councilman McMillan and noted they both felt the suggested wording of the resolution by Larchmont Village was rather counter productive and needed to be toned down a bit. Therefore, following along with the suggested resolution and making the necessary changes, the following resolution moved by Councilman Amlicke and seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, was unanimously adopted: RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby agrees to contribute to the Village of Larchmont, funds, materials and labor equal to $10,000 which are being provided to re- pair past damage to the Flint Park fields result- "' from overuse by the entire soccer league while the Hommocks field was being prepared for use; and it is further RESOLVED, that the Village's acceptance of said funds, materials and labor shall not be deemed to acknowledge any past rights nor to create any future rights in residents of the Unincorporated Area to use the Flint Park fields; -2- 052 and it is further RESOLVED, that the Town will upgrade and recon- dition the three small soccer fields under the supervision of Patrick Thomas Leddy, Town of Mamaroneck Highway Superintendent, in consul- tation with Larchmont Village personnel. 2. Update - Town Administrator Mr. Bloom reviewed the discussions held on this matter at previous meetings and stated that the advertisement was in the Newsletter of the International City Managers Association which is published weekly with a circulation of 1700; was published without charge; appeared three times beginning October 19, 1981 with brief wording without much detail; that 39 applications had been received in October and November of 1981 from all over the Country and from persons with all manners of experience, but few with no experience. He further stated that pre- liminary screening had been done by former Town Supervisor Joseph Vandernoot and former Mamaroneck Village Mayor Arthur Phillips who narrowed the group down to about a dozen and Mr. Bloom noted that after reviewing the applications, he agreed with their recommendations. In answer to a question, Mr. Bloom answered that almost all had degrees in public administration, almost all were currently employed and that the size of the municipalities served varied as did the size of the Budgets. Mr. Bloom stated that he believed most would still be actively interested and went on to enumerate how he had proceeded on behalf of the Board: preparation of a detailed sheet with codes for identifying information on each applicant; preparation of a data sheet on the Town of Mamaroneck; preparation of a sheet enumerating background and criteria re reason for seeking out an administrator and areas of importance; and preparation of a draft cover letter to be forwarded to those remaining after the initial screening process. Upon being asked about the next step, it was noted that Mr. Bloom and Mrs. Silverstone would work together on mutually convenient times for them both to conduct interviews. The discussion of enlisting more ap- plicants then ensued and Assemblyman Perone noted that some assistance can be sought from the Association of Towns and other Counties who keep current lists of available persons. The subject of utilizing residents with expertise in the area of inter- viewing was discussed and it was stated that since other members of the Board might not be available, it was decided that Mrs. Silverstone and Mr. Bloom would conduct the interviews and would enlist the aid of others should they feel the need for such additional assistance. 3. Update - D.A. 's Investigation - Town Police Matter . Deputy Supervisor Bloom stated that Police Commissioner Dolen has re- • cently tried on several occasions to reach Mr. McKenna at the District Attorney's Office to no avail. He further stated that Mr. Carr and Commissioner Sussen have been advised that 1500 man hours in addition to an accountant have actively been involved in the investigation and are satisfied that an on-going investigation is in progress and hopes are for an early conclusion to the investigation. Not on Agenda Councilwoman Silverstone reported that work is continuing on correcting the violations at Police Headquarters and that the budget for repairs -3- 053 and maintenance has been exhausted. She noted the importance of cor- recting the violations and asked the Comptroller to look into the possi- bility of finding more money to complete the necessary repairs. 4. Update - Boston Post Road and Weaver Street Traffic Problems Councilwoman Silverstone reported on the recent meeting with State and local officials and noted the meeting went very well and was accurately reported in the newspaper. She stated that it was recommended that the Town write to the County which is responsible for allocating funds under Federal aid and it was unanimously agreed that Councilwoman Silverstone would draft said letter to William Wheeler in the County for the Deputy Supervisor's signature. She further described the interesting proposal presented by the Volunteer Ambulance Corps and noted it would cost be- tween $80,000 and $100,000 to implement the flashing lights with V.A.C. pushing a button to activate the. lights. Assemblyman Perone complimented Councilwoman Silverstone, Police Chief Baumblatt and the V.A.C. repre- sentative for the contributions during the meeting and further stated that all that can be done relative to the problems on the Boston Post Road in its entirety will be done, but that cost factors prohibit the State Transportation Department from going ahead right away. He also clarified that the reason the Town was asked to contact the County is be- cause they are the agency that approves the spending of the federal funds and they have a matching funds situation with the State. Assemblyman Perone further elaborated on V.A.C. 's request some time ago for a pre- emptor light and a plan for V.A.C. , the Fire Department and Police De- Partment to work out. He spoke further regarding the no parking restric- tion on Weaver Street near the intersection of the Boston Post Road and reminded the Town that the State will not initiate that plan, but would go along if that is the Town's desire. Councilwoman Silverstone advised of her discussion with the Police Chief on that metter and noted that Chief Baumblatt has asked the P.T. Council to conduct a count relative to that intersection which has been arranged for the better weather season. Margaret Shultz advised Assemblyman Perone that the Post Road needs a good paving job and he noted that it has been scheduled. The order of the agenda was changed and Item No. 1 under Mr. Amlicke was taken up. THE COUNCILMEN 1. Resolution - Support of State Flood Control Bill Mr. Bloom referred to a letter from Assemblyman Perone about the proposed State flood control program and enumerated the contents of his own letter addressed to the Governor copies of which were forwarded to the Assembly- man and Mamaroneck Village Manager Joseph Fraioli. At this time, Assem- blyman Perone suggested that additional copies of Mr. Bloom's letter be sent to other members of the State Senate and Assembly. Deputy Supervisor Bloom described the Flood Relief Project to cost $400,000 which has been submitted by the Village of Mamaroneck and the Washingtonville Neighbor- hood Program for Urban County grant funds and noted he will send a letter of support to the County since the project will benefit the Town of Mamaroneck, as had been requested by the Mamaroneck Village Manager. Before leaving for another meeting, Assemblyman Perone advised that the Revenue Sharing funds for 1982 and 1983 will be forthcoming and should be in the same amount. -4- Ana The order of the agenda was again changed and Item #6 under OLD BUSINESS was taken up along with Item #1 under Mrs. Silverstone. 6.

Report - Meeting re Refuse Disposal District #1 Referendum Councilwoman Silverstone reviewed the meeting she attended in White Plains and asked if this Board was prepared to authorize the signing of the re- vised agreement relative to the Refuse Disposal District #1. Mrs. Silver- stone noted this plan is the least costly manner of financing the garbage problem for the entire consortium and spreads the cost across all of the population, not just property owners. Some discussion followed during which Councilman Bloom commented on the pros and cons of the creation of the garbage district, and his doubts about the proposed District's taxing powers. County Legislator Diane Keane reviewed the County's approach to this matter and how decisions were arrived at to create the garbage district. Councilwoman Silverstone added this would in no way affect the Town's recycling program.
