CALL TO ORDER The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 8:15 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Supervisor Helwig Councilman Vandernoot Councilman Bloom Councilman White Absent: Councilman Faiola Also Present: Mr. Gronberg - Town Clerk Mrs. Brewer - Deputy Clerk Mr. Johnston - Town Attorney Mr. Aitchison - Highway Superintendent Mr. Elfreich - Town Engineer TRIBUTE TO JOSEPH ALTIERI Before proceeding with this evening's meeting, Mrs. Helwig paid tribute to Joseph Altieri, Finance Officer of the Town of Mamaroneck, whose untimely death on June 25th deprived the Town not only of its Comptroller and Director of Finance but of a man who was a good friend to all with whom he worked and served. As the Editorial in The Daily Times had said, she continued, "his passing leaves a hole in the Town's official hierarchy that won't be easy to fill". His talents were great and he devoted his time and his skills unstintingly to the affairs of the Town. Doubtless, she said, the Councilmen would like to add to these comments -- after which a moment of silence would be observed in tribute to Mr. Altieri. Councilman Bloom remarked that there was little left to say following the Supervisor's comments but certainly he would reiterate that Joe had been a tireless worker, truly dedicated to his job. Councilman Vandernoot added that unfortunately Mr. Altieri had been one who did not know how to get away from his job and relax, and that literally he had given his life to his job, and Councilman White stated that truly Joe had been a remarkable man and one whose place it would indeed be difficult to fill. And thereupon following a moment of silence, the following resolution was adopted unanimously in memoriam to Mr. Altieri, to be spread upon the minutes of this meeting in tribute to him and forwarded to his wife and son with the deep sympathy. of this Board, the Town Staff and residents of the community he served with such devotion: - 1 - 29 WHEREAS, Joseph Altieri, former Comptroller of the Town of Mamaroneck, died on June 25th, 1973; and WHEREAS, during his twelve years of service to the Town, his ability was recognized through his increasing responsibilities as Town Accountant, Comptroller and Director of Finance; and WHEREAS, he was a dedicated public servant and a loyal member of the Town staff discharging his duties faithfully and with unfailing energy; and WHEREAS, his concern for the best interests of the Town and its residents led him to devote his time and his talents far beyond the call of duty; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we in the Town of Mamaroneck record our deep sense of loss and grief; and be it further RESOLVED, that a moment of silence be observed at the opening of this meeting in memory of JOSEPH ALTIERI and be it further RESOLVED, that this resolution be spread upon the minutes of this meeting in public tribute to him, and that a copy thereof be forwarded to his wife and son with deepest sympathy and condolences at this sorrowful time. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the special meeting of June 25th, 1973 were presented and on motion duly made and seconded, approved as submitted. OLD BUSINESS 1. Report on Permissive Referendum (Appointed rather than Elected Receiver of Taxes ) The Supervisor reported that on May 16th the Town Board as permitted by law had adopted a resolution providing that the office of Receiver of Taxes be appointive rather than elective subject to permissive referendum which runs for a period of 30 days from the date of publication and posting of such reso- lution. Therefore, she continued, since the period had expired - 2 - on June 21st, it was now in order for this Board to announce that henceforth in the Town of Mamaroneck the office of Receiver of Taxes would be appointive rather than elective, and also for the Clerk to forward to the County Board of Elections a certified copy of the aforesaid resolution so that the office would be removed from the ballot for forthcoming elections. 2. Report on Tour Premium River - Pine Brook Drains A report addressed to the Board by the Town Engineer under today's date summarizing the results of an inspection of the Pine Brook Drain area made by Mr. Leddy and himself with Mr. Bonchonsky of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was herewith presented and ordered received and filed for the record. NEW BUSINESS 1. Request - Senior Citizen Center The Supervisor invited Mrs. Samuels, Chairman of the Larchmont- Mamaroneck Committee on Family and Youth and also of its Senior Citizens Coordinating Council, to address the Board regarding the Committee's request for the establishment of a "Senior Citizen Drop-in Center". Mrs. Samuels thanked the Supervisor and members of the Board for affording her this opportunity and also for the previous cooperation always extended to the Committee on the many matters it had presented to this Board for its consideration in the past. She then stated that as the Board knew, until now the Committee had been discussing teen-agers, while at present it had turned to the other side of the coin to discuss the twilight years -- the needs of the elderly. She pointed out that of the Town's population of 13,002, 11% were over 65 and 17% over 60 years of age; a percentage, she noted, that was well above the aver- age of most of the communities in the County and which would seem to indicate that services for this large group should cer- tainly be included in the over-all program. She also advised that in order to ascertain the need for such a program, the Committee had conducted a Senior Citizens Registration Day in March with distribution of a questionnaire aimed at ascertaining this information. From the results which had been carefully tabulated and represented an 11% return, she presented a statistical summarization which, she said, seemed to indicate as the most logical beginning for such a program the establishment of a Drop-in Center where people could meet and socialize and where the needs and desires for programs could be learned first-hand from the seniors them- ' selves. This center, she continued, would be run entirely by volunteers and would be patterned on that of the League for Service at the New Rochelle Hospital. Mrs. Samuels then said that as the Village of Mamaroneck conducted its own program for Senior Citizens, the Committee's appeal was for a joint appropriation by the Town and Larchmont Village in order to make it possible to rent a store for such - 3 - a Center and cover the costs of insurance, electricity, maintenance, etc. She explained that the request for funds was based on the numbers to be served in each municipality -- thus the Town with 65% was asked for $4,500. which she hoped would be authorized this evening and the Village with 35% for $2,500. which'-had been authorized at the Village meeting Mon- day evening. Of this total of $7,000. she stated that $5,600. was earmarked for rent with any balance to be used for funding activities such as trips by bys, etc. In reply to questions by the Board, Mrs. Samuels said that with the funds in hand, the Committee hoped to be able to open the Center by September 1st and agreed that prior to any under- writing of a permanent budgetary appropriation, an experimental period was necessary to determine whether such a Center was successfully meeting the needs. Mr. Harold Klein, upon recognition by the Chair, spoke from the floor questioning the rent which at $450. a month seemed high and the location of the store on a main artery. Mrs. Samuels replied that the Committee felt that the place must be easily accessible but added that the Committee was grateful for his suggestions as no definite decisions had been made as of this date. The Supervisor explained that the appropriation could legally be made from Federal Revenue Sharing funds and inquired as to the Board's pleasure, whereupon Councilman Bloom after remark- ing that in interest and concern for our Senior Citizens it would seem only proper that this proposal be tried for a year and so moved the appropriation. The motion was seconded by Councilman White who noted that it was for a good use and the following resolution was thereupon unanimously adopted: RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes that the sum of $4,500. be appropriated from Part-Town Funds to the Senior Citizens Coordinating Council, a sub-committee of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Committee on Family and Youth, to be used for the establishment of a Senior Citizen Drop-in Center; and be it further RESOLVED, that Federal Revenue Sharing funds received in 1973 and not yet appropriated be drawn upon for this purpose. Mrs. Samuels expressed her thanks and appreciation to the Board and Councilman Vandernoot in turn thanked her for her excellent presentation. Not on Agenda At this time, the Supervisor recognized Mrs. Eugenia Pirro of 133 Laurel Avenue who addressed the Board with reference to the Recreation questionnaire requesting provision of a Teen Center rather than any of the facilities proposed thereon such as ball fields, a tennis-ice skating bubble, play yard:°at Hummocks, etc. She stated that she felt such a Center was the most needed - 4 - facility in this community as it would provide teen-agers with a place of their own in which they could congregate and have evening and weekend activities thus keeping them off the streets and eliminating, or at least lessening, the vandalism which certainly everyone in this community was well aware of. Mrs. Pirro particularly questioned the proposed expenditure of $225,000. for a tennis-ice skating bubble facility to serve a small number of tennis players in view of the urgent needs of the teen-agers two of which in addition to the Teen Center she listed as a publicly run mini bike track and basketball hoops in Memorial Park to take care of the older boys. She also questioned the need for Horse Shoe Pitching and Shuffle Board as these were of no interest to the kids. Mrs. Helwig explained that these had been requested mainly by older persons. Councilman White then explained that the proposed tennis-ice skating bubble was to be wholely and solely on a pay-as-you-go basis by those who used the facility and also noted that the response of the community had been heavily in favor of the provision of this facility. The school, too, he stated, was strongly in favor of it since it would provide a facility much needed for its hockey teams and additional indoor physical ed- ucation facilities for the balance of the school year. The following persons also addressed the Board: Mr. Gerard J. Dapolito of 129 Murray Avenue who spoke strongly in favor of both a Teen Center and mini bike track. Mr. Charles L. Rocque of 134 Murray Avenue who also urged provision of a mini bike track perhaps on the Mamaroneck High School track and which would be publicly operated and run as were those in Pelham, Mount Vernon, Mamaroneck and New Rochelle. Mrs. Maria Russell of 18 Mountain Avenue who requested that the pool regulations be reconsidered so as to make it possible for teen-agers to swim in the evening without being accompanied by an adult member of the family. Mrs. Helwig advised that this matter was presently being studied. Mr. Elwin C. Kimmey of 59 Myrtle Boulevard endorsed the need for both the Teen Center and Basketball Courts in Memorial Park, emphasizing however that there must be supervision when as and if such a Center should be established. Also speaking to these points were Mr. Carmine Perciasepe, Jr. of 3 Wood Street, Mrs. Joseph Garofalo of 61 Murray Avenue and Mrs. John Mussachio of 99 Myrtle Boulevard. Mrs. Judy Raab of 102 Edgewood Avenue, upon-recognition, then called to the Board's attention the condition of the Play Area at Memorial Park which she said had once been an attractive place for little children to play but which had now deteriorated within the last six weeks to the point of being virtually unusable. She listed the condition of the sand box - without sand - the un- availability of rest room facilities except when an attendant was present, the broken drinking fountain, and the broken toys and added that when she had questioned an attendant about these things, he had replied that nothing could be done. The Supervisor explained that the police were patrolling the area but must see an act of vandalism being perpetrated in order to make an arrest -- and that a great deal of money had been spent by the Town in trying to repair and maintain the equipment, she - 5 - 33 said, to almost no avail. During discussion of these matters Mrs. Elaine Samuels described the new Saturday Night Open House Program to be held at the High School which was being planned and patterned on the Scarsdale program and would provide one evening activity for teen-agers, and Councilman Bloom stated that in view of the information given this evening about mini bike tracks, a check of the legal questions involved would be made and the possibilities investi- gated to see what could be worked out. In reference to these tracks, the Supervisor asked whether they were open to other than residents of the municipalities they served but no one present had definite information -- and further, in reply to her query as to how the bikes would be transported to such tracks, she was assured that this would have to be done by the parents of those who participated. Councilman Vandernoot then said with reference to the park vandalism that the only solution would seem to be the furnish- ing of round-the-clock surveillance. Mr. Klein suggested in this respect that a constant police patrol of the park be tried. Councilman White stated that a "dark-of-night-uniform patrol" would cost well in excess of $20,000. a year which was a pro- hibitive cost and one that might well concern the taxpayers who would have to pay this increased cost. He agreed that it was sad indeed that this Yg la round could not be used - addin g that P he felt we were all in a crisis of which Larchmont was a part regarding the apparent lack of respect for law and order and respect for property, and Councilman Bloom added the problem was not what the Town could do - but rather what all of us could do together to .improve the situation. Mrs. Peggy Snyder of 31 Seton Road asked whether it would be possible to fence the playground area to protect it? Mrs. Helwig questioned whether fences were the answer - referring to the damages to the fenced in tennis court area, and Mrs. Samuels noted that while she was all for Youth Centers as she was for Centers for the elderly, such a Center might not be the answer to vandal- ism quoting that 50% of the entire budget to run the Teen-age Inn at St. Thomas 's which had worked out to being a program mainly for Mamaroneck Village youths, had been and was still being spent to repair the vandalism to this property caused by the users. This problem, she said, she felt was a much deeper one concerning a sense of values and something it seemed was happening so that the young people were not being taught values and not to destroy other people's property. The Supervisor thanked all for their suggestions which she stated would be taken to the Recreation Commission and Recreation Super- intendent. Mrs. Judy Raab then brought to the Board's attention the manage- ment of the Pre-School Play-School program at Murray Avenue. She stated that no one was present in charge of the program due to a death in the Director's family, and that no exit had been available for the 35 to 40 children present. She further said she had called the Recreation Department and been told daily that conditions would be corrected. This had not happened, she said, and suggested therefore the program be closed in the interest of safety until its reorganization could be effected. Mrs. Helwig thanked Mrs. Raab and advised that she would visit the program tomorrow morning herself in order to ascertain whether it needed to be closed or what needed to be done to remedy the situation Mrs. Raab described. - 6 - •141 The Board then resumed the regular order of business as follows : NEW BUSINESS 2.
