CALL TO ORDER The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 8:15 p.m. in ac- cordance with the Notice of Meeting and Waiver thereof here- with presented and ordered received and filed for the record. ROLL CALL Present: Supervisor Helwig Councilman Vandernoot Councilman Bloom Councilman White Absent: None Also Present: Mr. Gronberg - Town Clerk Mrs. Brewer - Deputy Clerk Mr. Johnston - Town Attorney Mr. Elfreich - Town Engineer THE SUPERVISOR. The Supervisor noted that the meeting had been called to reject the bids received for the construction of the ice rink-tennis bubble complex at Hommocks and authorize readvertising for bids to be returnable on October 17th, which she so thereupon recommended. In accordance with this recommendation, Councilman Bloom of- fered a motion to reject all bids and readvertise, which was seconded by Councilman White. For the information of those present, at the Supervisor's re- quest the Engineer then briefly reviewed the "Fact Sheet" on the proposed facility which had been distributed to all attending the meeting. Mr. Elfreich called attention to the items on which separate bids would be taken - explaining that it was felt that elimina- tion of sub-contracting charges by having the Town act as its own general contractor would reduce costs considerably. He also stressed the tests presently being conducted at the site in the hope that a redesign of the foundation would be possible at a substantial savings and lastly reviewed those items added to the original specs which he said were necessary for com- pliance with municipal Health and Building Codes. -1' rN8 Mr. Elfreich replied negatively to a question raised by Coun- cilman Bloom as to whether some of these latter items might not be eliminated at this time or held in abeyance since, he said, as he had explained each had been added because it was necessary in order to have the facility meet the required standards. It was also noted that a new financial study was now being made to determine whether the project would still be able to ., pay for itself in 5 years if a $300,000. rather than the orig- inally planned $225,000. bond issue was required. Questions raised by Mrs. James Schena and Mr. James Lav- erty were answered by the Town Engineer and Councilman White -- and thereupon on the Chair's question as to the Board's pleasure on the motion, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes that all bids for the construction of an Air Structure and Related Facilities and an Ice Skating Rink and Related Facilities at Hom- mocks Tennis Courts received on September 5th, 1973, be rejected with all bid bonds or bid checks returned to the respective bidders, and that a new Notice for Bids in accordance with the revised specs and to be returnable on October 17th, 1973, be published in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, as required by law. MR. WILLIAM FERNSCHILD -- Upon recognition by the Chair, Mr. Fernschild presented at great length a request for the rebuilding of two stone pillars formerly on North Chatsworth Avenue at Mountain Avenue with directional signs thereon - one reading to the Woods, the other to Larchmont - in order to clarify directional problems for those coming off the Thruway, etc. The Board thanked Mr. Fernschild and assured him that con- sideration and study would be given his request - and/or to finding a solution to the problem he bad described. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, on motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was de- clared adjourned at 9:00 p.m. / ' / . 1 i .4A . d Charles J. .onber b Town Cl- - 2 -
