FAIOLA The Supervisor called to attention the letter of resignation addressed to the Board by Councilman Faiola under date of September 7th, 1973, in which Mr. Faiola had stated that his resignation was to be effective as of that date, and noted that since this was the first regular meeting of the Board since receipt of the letter and it was now in order to formally accept the resigna- tion for the record. From the time Mr. Faiola had been appointed to the Board on January 19th of 1966 and during his successive terms of office until he had moved to Florida, she said, he had always rendered valuable service to the community, was always available, always in- terested and always ready to help. He will be much missed, Mrs. Helwig said, by the members of this Board and all the residents of this com- munity.

INTERIM APPOINTMENT OF STEWART J. McMILLAN AS TOWN COUNCILMAN The Supervisor explained that it was now the Board's duty to appoint someone to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Faiola's resignation inasmuch as anyone elected in November would not take office until January 1st of 1974, stating that nominations for the III vacant seat were therefore now in order and inquiring as to the Board's pleasure. Councilman White stated that he took great pleasure in placing in nomination for the vacant seat, the name of Stewart J. McMillan of 137 Beach Avenue, Larchmont. He presented a brief resume of Mr. McMillan's background and experience, stating that he believed Mr. McMillan would bring much to the work of the Council due to his availability, his knowledge of the Town, his past participation in its affairs, and his willingness to serve. Therefore, he said, I place his name in nomination. Councilman White's remarks were endorsed by Councilman Bloom who said he was delighted to have this privilege, and by Councilman Vandernoot who attested to the Town's good fortune in having available a person like Stu McMillan of proven ability and youthful vigor and one who would, he knew, give a great lift to the work of this Board. Mrs. Helwig added her endorsement - remarking particularly that she knew the quality and limitless service of Stu McMillan through her work with him in the forming of the Narcotics Guidance Council, and thereupon since there were no further names placed in nomination, the following resolution was adopted on a motion unanimously offered and seconded: III RESOLVED, that Stewart J.

The Town Clerk then administered the Oath of Office to Mr. McMillan, who thereupon took his seat on the Town Board and was warmly and most cordially welcomed by each of the members of the Board as a part of the "Town Family". THE SUPERVISOR Mrs. Helwig extended a very cordial welcome to Mr. Jeff Canning, new member of the News Desk at "The Daily Times", expressing the hope that the Board would have the pleasure of seeing him at many of its meetings as well as at other affairs in the community.

Reports Commissioner Bloom presented the Fire Report for the month of September 1973. 3. The Fire Chief The Supervisor recognized Chief Ciardullo who had reports to submit at this time inasmuch as he was anxious to leave to attend the Mamaroneck Inspection. Chief Ciardullo stated he had four reports to present this evening as follows: 1. that the Town of Mamaroneck Fire Inspection would be October 18th and that all members of the Fire Commission were most cordially invited; 2. that the Department had been making every effort to engage an additional man; that 21 letters had been sent out with 11 replies received and arrangements made to interiiew 4 men this coming Monday evening with the hope of having a new man before the date of the next meeting; 3. through the efforts of Scotty Mac Phail, a former Larchmont Fire Chief, 60 cots had been obtained from Sing Sing. The Chief explained that at the time the Department had been offered these cots it was believed that they were folding. However, that was not the case and the storage problem had therefore resulted. He explained that 44 were stored in the Town Garage but that a place needed to be found for the remainder. He further reported that the cots, which had originally cost $63.00 each, had been given to the Town free except for haulage and would be excellent for emergency situations such as had occurred several times in the past few years when people had had to be quartered in the Firehouse overnight, etc. ; and 4. that Fire Prevention Week was October 8th 13th with on Thursday, October 11th a Fire Drill conducted by the Paid Men at Hommocks School at 9:00 a.m. ; a Drill and talk for the kindergarten classes at Murray Avenue at 9:30; at Central at 10:30; at Sts. John and Paul at 11:15; and again at Murray for the afternoon classes at 1:00 p.m. ; and at Central at 1:30. All of these would be conducted gratis by the Paid Men, under the direction of Mr. Norman Wilson, Chairman of Com- "inunity Relations. Pencils would be distributed to all and in the evening at 8:00 p.m. there would be an outside demonstration (both men and equipment) at the Firehouse to be followed by the showing of films in the Auditorium. He asked that good publicity be given these events in the local press so that all residents would know of the program and hopefully participate as he thought all would benefit greatly. Mr. Canning assured the Chief that the paper would be glad to cooperate and suggested that the Chief see him at his convenience to review the details for follow-ups to the report carried of this evening's meeting. - 4 - The Supervisor commended Mr. Wilson and the Paid Men on behalf of the Commission and thanked Chief Ciardullo for his reports. 4. Adjournment There being no further business to come before the meeting, on motion duly made and seconded it was declared adjourned at 8:40 pm. , to reconvene on October 17th, 1973.

Authorization - Transfer of Funds (2) a) A memorandum addressed to the Board by the Comptroller's Office under date of September 11th, 1973 requesting authorization for the transfer of funds as set forth therein was herewith presented and ordered received and filed for the record. The Supervisor briefly reviewed the requested transfers from Federal Revenue Sharing Funds to both General Fund - Town Wide - Estimated Revenue and Town-Outside Villages appropriations and thereupon as there were no questions, inquired as to the Board's pleasure? Whereupon on a motion by Councilman Vandernoot, seconded by Coun- cilman Bloom, it was unanimously • RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the following transfer of funds within the 1973 budget: - 5 - • From: General Fund - Town Wide - Estimated Revenue- Federal Revenue Sharing - A/C 701A $28,675. To: General Fund - Town Wide Appropriations Parking Fields - Debt Service - A/C A5650.6 $13,000. Miscellaneous - Unclassified - A/C A9202.0 5,675. Miscellaneous - Debt Service - A/C A9710.6 10,000. $28,675. From: General Fund - Town Outside Villages - Estimated Revenue - Federal Revenue Sharing - A/C 702A $56,400.

Mrs. Helwig explained that it was necessary to make these transfers within each fund as of September 30th, 1973 so that the expenditures were not in excess of the appropri- ation provided and briefly reviewed each of the many items, partic- ularly noting the General Town, Part Town and Special District transfers. The Supervisor asked whether there were any questions, whereupon Mrs. Theodore Shultz, upon recognition, inquired why Federal Revenue Sharing Funds could not be used for the Fire Department as well as the Police? In reply Mrs. Helwig explained that the law prohibited the use of Federal Revenus Sharing Funds for Special Districts - which led to Mr. James Laverty inquiring why the Fire District could not be- come the Fire Department thus being comparable to the Police and accordingly entitled to these funds. The Town Attorney explained that changing a Special District required enabling legislation and legally was not a simple procedure and Coun- cilman Vandernoot called to Mr. Laverty's attention that there would be no difference in the benefit to Part Town moneywise inasmuch as these funds had been allocated according to a formula devised by the Board toward equalizing the benefits to residents of the Unin- corporated Area (Part Town) with those to residents of the Villages, being cognizant of the fact that the Villages received their own Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. And thereupon since there were no further questions, on motion by Councilman Vandernoot, seconded by Councilman Bloom, it was unani- mously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the transfer of funds as of September 30th, 1973 as hereto attached.
