NEW BUSINESS 1. Resignations from --- a) John Stahr, Recreation Commission b) Ranald D. Sclater, Park Commission c) Richard F. Eggers, Zoning Board of Appeals d) Mrs. Elizabeth Ashley, Board of Ethics Mrs. Helwig presented letters of resignation, all to be effective prior to the New Year addressed to her by Messrs. Stahr, Sclater, Eggers and Mrs. Ashley on December 1st, November 17th, September 16th and November 24th, 1975 respectively, which were herewith ordered received and filed for the record. John Stahr �r In addressing herself to Mr. Stahr's record of service, she recalled that he had been a member of the Recreation Commission since its in- ception in 1954 and its Chairman for the past 14 years. Under his exceptionally able leadership and guidance, she said, the growth and development of the Town's recreation programs had been notable indeed-- and she cited as examples, the ongoing development of the Open House Programs at the Junior and Senior High Schools; the expansion of the Summer Playground Programs; the creation and operation of Memorial -4- 178 12-3-75 Park; the inauguration of the Nation's 2nd municipal sailing in- struction program; and lastly, the building of the Hommocks Pool and the Air Structure at Hommocks. Each of the Councilmen added his individual comments and expressions of tribute to John, and thereupon on a motion by Councilman Bloom, seconded by Councilman White, it was unanimously III RESOLVED, that this Board with deep regret hereby accepts the resignation of John Stahr, Chairman of the Recreation Commission, to be effective at the pleasure of the Board prior to January 1st, 1976; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Supervisor write to Mr. Stahr on behalf of the Board, ex- pressing its regret at his resignation and its appreciation and sincere thanks for all he had done to enrich and better the lives of all of the residents of the Town through his guidance and stewardship of the Commission during his 22 years of distinguished service on this Board. Ranald D. Sclater -- Mrs. Helwig spoke of Mr. Sclater's long record of service to the Town, recounting briefly some of the highlights evidenced when he had served as a member of the Cross County Lands Study Committee preceeding the establishment of the Conservation Advisory Committee III (now Commission) in 1964 with his appointment as its Chairman. She noted particularly the development and growth of that Committee's environmental activities in its formative years under his able and skillful guidance. Next, she continued, came his appointment to the Park Commission in 1963 and his tenure as its Chairman from 1971 to date. It has been the Town's good fortune, Mrs. Helwig said, to have had Tut Sclater work with us for he has left a legacy of crea- tive leadership that will be remembered for many years to come. Whereupon after individual expressions of tribute and thanks to Tut had been expressed by each member of the Board, on motion by Council- man Bloom, seconded by Councilman McMillan, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board with deep regret hereby accepts the resignation of Ranald D. Sclater as Chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners., to be effective at the Board's pleasure prior to the first of the year; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Supervisor address a letter to Mr. Sclater on behalf of the Board, thanking him for his extraordinary service and the many contributions he had made to the Town and all of its residents, and expressing the hope that he would con- tinue to devote some of his time and par- ticular talents to the community he had served so long and so well. -5- 1 I I 179 12-3-75 Richard F. Eggers -- Mrs. Helwig next turned her attention to Mr. Eggers who, she said, being Florida-bound was leaving the community he had served so ably for so long. During his 16 years on the Board of Appeals, Dick had given unatintingly of his professional expertise, his time and his energy, contributing largely to the Board's achieve- ments and to the reputation it had attained. The Board, she continued, was widely known for its fairness to all appearing before it and for its careful study and judicious consideration of each matter presented. The preservation of the community's present character and the suggestions he had offered for the Board's consideration in meeting future needs have earned him a unique position in community service which would be long remem- bered. And thereupon after the members of the Board expressed their individual tributes to Dick and their thanks, on a motion offered by the Deputy Supervisor and seconded by Councilman Bloom, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board with great regret hereby accepts the resignation of Richard F. Eggers as Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, effective at the Board's pleasure prior to the New Year; and be it further RESOLVED, that Mrs. Helwig on behalf of the Board write Mr. Eggers expressing its great regret at his loss to the community, its thanks and deep appreciation for all he had done, and its best wishes to Mrs. Eggers and him for everything good in the future in their new home in Florida. Mrs. Elizabeth Ashley -- Mrs. Helwig paid tribute to Mrs. Ashley explaining that she had tendered her resignation only because her husband had been appointed a member of the Board of Police Commissioners and it seemed wiser in view of the possibility of a conflict of interest were any Police matter to be brought before that Board, that she no longer serve as a member thereof. Although it was indeed regretable that this resignation was before the Board, the Supervisorsaid, the reason for it was certainly understandable and entirely appropriate. She praised Mrs. Ashley for her faithful attendance of the Ethics meetings during her tenure of office and for her sound judgement, consideration and intelligent deliberation on any matter before that body which had contributed greatly to its conduct of business. And thereupon on a motion offered by Councilman Bloom who stated along with his thanks to Mrs. Ashley that the Town had both lost and gained -- losing her valued services but gaining her husband's membership on the Police Commission, and seconded by Councilman White -6- 1 180 12-3-75 who along with the other members of the Board also endorsed the sentiments expressed by Councilman Bloom, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board with great regret hereby accepts the resignation of Mrs. Elizabeth Ashley as a member of the Board of Ethics, effective at the Board's pleasure prior to the New Year; and be it further RESOLVED, that Mrs. Helwig on behalf of the Board write to Mrs. Elizabeth Ashley expressing its great regret at her loss to the community and its thanks and deep appreciation for all she had done. Mrs. Helwig then called to attention the nearness to the end of the year and the seating of the new Board as of January 1st, and suggested therefore with the Board in agreement that the new appointments to the positions vacated be deferred to after that date. 2. Report - Bicentennial Committee for Improvement of Business Area Supervisor Helwig enumerated the names of distinguished Towns- people willing to serve as members of the Town of Mamaroneck Bicentennial Business Area Improvement Committee which will plan projects in the business area for the coming bicentennial year and work in conjunction with the Larchmont Garden Club in arrang- ing for plantings.

Acceptance of Road - Carriage House Lane Pursuant to memorandum addressed to the Town Board by the Engineer ! under date of December 3, 1975, herewith presented and ordered received and filed, on motion by Deputy Supervisor Vandernoot, seconded by Councilman White, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby accepts as a public street or highway of the Town of Mamaroneck the street known as Carriage House Lane located in the Subdivision known as Griffen Estates as shown on Map No. 18024 filed in the office of the County Clerk, Division of Land Records of Westchester County, New York, on August 1, 1973; and be it further I r -7- 181 12-3-75 RESOLVED, that in accordance with the recommen- dation of the Town Engineer, this Board hereby cancels Performance Bond No. 7458917BCA in the amount of $16,000, dated July 12, 1973, upon which The Aetna Casualty and Surety Company is Surety and Griffen Estates, Inc. of 6 Kolbert Drive, Scarsdale, New York is Principal. III Deputy Supervisor Vandernoot noted that the Board had departed from usual policy in accepting this street despite the fact that a part of the street was still in a state of disrepair, due to Con Edison's digging, but felt that since the Developer had com- pleted all the required improvements, and because Con Edison has promised the Town Engineer in writing to install the permanent paving, it would not be fair to penalize the Developer. 4.
