VANDERNOOT : Legislation was introduced at our request in the House and the Assembly of Albany and on August 11th the Governor signed a bill which is Chapter 846 of the Laws of 1977 . It states the Town Board may upon its own motion and without petition , but after a public hearing held in the manner hereinafter specified upon the notice hereinafter specified , dissolve and discontinue the Town of Mamaroneck Park District which was formed pursuant to Chapter 574 of the Laws of 1924 . The Town Board shall adopt an order on its motion to dissolve and discontinue. such District and the same shall be entered into the minutes of this proceeding specifying the purpose thereof and specifying the time when , and place where , said Board will meet to consider the motion and hear all persons interested in the subject thereof concerning the same . The Board should cause a copy of such order certified by the Town Clerk to be published at least once in the official paper, the first publication thereof should be not less than 10 nor more than 20 days before the day set therein for the hearing as aforesaid and shall cause a copy thereof to be posted on the signboard of the Town , maintained pursuant to subdivision 6 of Section 30 of the Town Law , not less than 10 , not more than 20 days before the day designated for the hearing as aforesaid . This is really a notice of the meeting and all of these things have been complied with . If the Town Board shall determine after such hearing and upon the evidence given thereat that it is in the public interest to dissolve and discontinue such Park District , the Town Board shall adopt an order to dissolve and discontinue such Park District , thereafter the authority to do all acts necessary for the maintenance and control of the former Park District shall be in the Town Board of the Town . However, the Town continue to maintain the land wihin the former Park District as a Town Park and the Town shall assume all - obligations , liabilities of the former Park District . This act shall take effect immediately. The reasons for this legislation is that we feel that the function and .care of the Parks can be a financial savings • to the Town over a period of eime .

Report - Urban County Funds Well over a year ago we received our first allotment of $20 ,000 from Urban County and the purpose or the use for that money was to be a sensor valve up at the Larchmont Reservoir. It seems so long ago that you would think this probably all had been done , but in unwinding all that had to be accomplished , we finally have reached the point where the County has signed a contract with -12 Metcalfe and Eddy for the design and this should probably take 30 days or so . They will be prepared to install the valve in the present gatehouse and it should come under the appropriation for $20 ,000. Now the second $20 ,000 was requested for flood control below Gardens Lake , there is an abutment in the river that runs along North Brook Road and other obstructions here and there and they are in the process of studying it now. They are quite certain , however , that an environmental impact study will not be necessary and so this project will move a. little faster and probably will catch up to the one authorized a year ago . 1 4. I also have a report from Mrs . Samuels on the Rent Subsidy Program and on her duty as a Community Services person and it is really a fascinating report . The Town Board .just received it tonight , I doubt if they have had a chance to read it . I would just like to thank Mrs . Samuels 'for her report and we will go into it in further detail at another time . REPORTS . OF THE COUNCILMEN Councilman Bloom 1 . Letter from Chairman of C . A. C .

Report - United Hospital Meeting I was a. representative from. the Town of Mamaroneck and there were officials from the hospital , from other municipalities , Ed Ryan and quite a few doctors .

They have embarked on a $19 ,000 , 000 construction project , a Federal project , and it is expected to be completed in 1981 , which enhance facilities at United Hospital . They would envision a panel of physicians and other people to service the area , including our area , on an in-patient and ambulatory basis . They will train people to serve on the volunteer ambulance corps , they will have monitoring equipment which is readable and which they are training people in use of. They will have 120 odd hours of State courses and will be able to make diagnoses (the only way they can be made ) which may be lifesaving in and of itselves . 2 . Report - Tenants Council Meeting I have had a communication from our Tenants Advisory Council which met on September 28 and took the position that they would rather pursue parking on Palmer Avenue than enter into any negotiations on the M & M property , which was envisioned as a means of aiding the severe parking problem existing at the Larchmont Acres and its environs .
