RESIGNATION OF COUNCILMAN RAYMOND P. 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.
Councilman White thereupon, after seconding Mrs. Helwig's statements,
moved adoption of a resolution accepting his resignation and express-
ing the Board's thanks and appreciation. This motion was seconded
by Councilman Bloom with the following resolution thereupon unanimously
adopted to be spread upon the minutes of this meeting in public tribute
to Councilman Faiola and forwarded to him with the Board's thanks, ap-
preciation and very best wishes:
WHEREAS, Raymond P. Faiola, who has moved to Florida,
has tendered his resignation as Town Councilman of the
Town of Mamaroneck, effective as of September 7th, 1973;
and
WHEREAS; Mr. Faiola since his appointment to the Town
Board on July 19th, 1966 and during his succeeding
terms of office has served ably and has given gen-
erously of his time, knowledge and unique understand-
ing of the community, thus contributing much to the
work of this Council and to the Town of Mamaroneck
Fire Department, to which he served as Liaison;
- 1 -
and
WHEREAS, he has been ever mindful of the welfare
of the residents of the Town and has acted always
in their best interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
III RESOLVED, that this Board accepts his resignation
with regret, and expresses its sincere thanks and
appreciation for his diligent service throughout
his tenure of office as Councilman;
and be it further
RESOLVED, that this resolution unanimously adopted by
this Board be spread upon the minutes of this meeting
as a public record of tribute to Councilman Faiola and

for his services and its very best wishes to him and
the members of his family for every happiness in their
new home.
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. McMillan of 137 Beach
Avenue, Town, be and he hereby is appointed
Town Councilman of the Town of Mamaroneck to
serve for the unexpired term of office of former
Councilman Raymond P. Faiola, or until Decem-
ber 31st, 1975, subject to the further provisions
of sub-section 5 of Section 64 of the Town Law,
to-wit:
- 2 -
91
"He shall hold office until the commence-
ment of the calendar year next succeeding
the first annual election at which this
vacancy may be filled."
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,

2. 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.

The Supervisor commended Mr. Wilson and the Paid Men on behalf
of the Commission and thanked Chief Ciardullo for his reports.

2. 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.
To:
General Fund - Town Outside Villages - Appropriations
Police - Employee Benefits - A/C 3110.8 $46,400.
Police - Contractual Expenses - A/C 411 10,000. . $56,400.
b) A memorandum addressed to the Board by the Comptroller's
Office under date of October 1st, 1973 requesting authorization for
the transfer of funds within the 1973 Budget and Surplus Funds as
set forth therein was herewith presented and ordered received and
filed for the record. 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.
