MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK
HELD ON THE 17TH DAY OF DECEMBER 1983,
IN THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE AT THE TOWN
CENTER, 740 WEST BOSTON POST ROAD.
IIIThe meeting was called to order at 8:45 A.M. by Supervisor Goldsmith.
Present were the following:
Supervisor Leo Goldsmith, Jr.
Councilman Lee Bloom
Councilman Stuart McMillan
Councilman Thomas R. Amlicke
Councilwoman Caroline Silverstone
Also present were:
Town Administrator Stephen V. Altieri
Comptroller Carmine A. DeLuca
Supervisor-Elect Dolores A. Battalia
Councilman-Elect Lawrence A. Lerman
The meeting was being held to discuss final changes to the 1984
Town Budget before its adoption on December 19, 1983, and to
hear presentations from various organizations and agencies which
receive Town funds.
The Town board decided to, after review of the request of the
Children's Corner, appropriate $4,400 to the program and have it
be a part-Town charge.
The Town Board then discussed surplus funds in the Town Budget and
an amount to be applied in 1984. Supervisor-Elect Battalia
suggested that the original amount of $400,000 be decreased to
$275,000. Supervisor Goldsmith expressed the opinion that $275,000
is too low.
Councilwoman Silverstone made a motion to reduce the surplus
application to $275,000, but that motion was not seconded.
On motion by Councilman Amlicke and seconded by Councilman Bloom,
it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes
the application of $300,000 of surplus funds
to the 1984 Town Budget.
William Reilly, Town Youth Advocate, appeared before the Town Board
and explained his responsibilities and duties. In addition, he
outlined his daily schedule with respect to his Youth Advocate and
Recreation Department responsibilities.
Frank Cioffi, President of the Volunteer Ambulance Corps, appeared
before the Board and gave a brief presentation on the activities
of the Corps in 1983.

Representatives of the Community Action Program and L.I.F.E.
Center also appeared before the Town Board and made presentations
on their activities.
The Town Board reviewed a letter of request from the Tri-
Municipal Bicycle Safety Commission for $200 in funding. It
was decided that the amount would be appropriated but the
Administrator was to make further inquiries about the organization.
IIIIn terms of the Youth Advocate's request, the Board decided to
grant a $600 salary increase. Bill Reilly's salary for work in
connection with the Recreation Department will not be increased.
The Town Board discussed the proposed decrease in supervision of
the Teen Center from $18,000 to $15,000. Bill Reilly stated that
the Youth Council was concerned over the decrease and how it may
impact the number of hours the Teen Center will be available. The
Administrator stated that, to date, the expenditure for supervision
of the Teen Center did not approach the amount budgeted. Based
upon the fact that the Hommocks Gym has been closed for repairs,
this would cause some of the decrease in expenses. Therefore it
was agreed that the budget for this item would be increased to
$16,000 for 1984.
On motion by Councilman Bloom and seconded by Councilman Amlicke,
it is hereby
RESOLVED, that this Board will adjourn
into Executive Session to discuss a
matter of personnel.
The Board discussed the matter of the Town Attorney and whether a
final choice could be made before the end of December. This Board
could not reach a consensus on a final choice, and the matter was
deferred.
On motion by Councilwoman Silverstone and seconded by Councilman
Amlicke, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Executive Session of
the Town Board is hereby adjourned.
There being no other business, on motion by Councilwoman Silver-
stone and seconded by Councilman Amlicke, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Special Meeting of
the Town Board is hereby adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen V. Altieri
Town Administrator
