PUBLIC HEARINGS— "Regulation of Large Propane Tanks" Law
The following notice of Public Hearing was entered into the record:
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Adjourned November 19, 2008 for December 3, 2008
Adjourned December 3, 2008 until January 21, 2009
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of
the Town of Mamaroneck on January 21, 2009 PM or as soon thereafter as is
possible in the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road,
Mamaroneck, New York to consider the adoption of a local law entitled
"Regulation of Large Propane Tanks" Law.
Purpose:
Over the Memorial Day weekend, a leaking underground propane tank was
detected. Due to the professionalism of the Town's personnel, the propane tank
was emptied and the leaking gas burned off without injury either to person or
property. If this corrective action had not been taken, the tank may have exploded
2
January 21, 2009
and caused damage not only to the home on which the tank was installed but to
neighboring properties and people as well.
Because of the poor condition of the tank, it took over 24 hours for the gas to be
burned off. Throughout this time, Town personnel were required to remain on
site, causing the Town to incur thousands of dollars in overtime compensation.
The cost would have been even higher had not so many of the responders been
volunteers willing to sacrifice their time on a holiday weekend.
This incident has alerted the Town Board to the necessity of examining the use of
propane and other hazardous substances within the Town, and if warranted,
developing regulations to control such use and a procedure for recovering the
cost incurred by the Town for responding to the discharge of propane or other
hazardous substances within the Town. In order to study the issue, the Town
Board has determined that it is necessary to impose a moratorium upon the
installation of propane tanks with a capacity for 50 or more pounds of propane.
The full text of this Local law may be examined and copies obtained at the Town
Clerk's office during regular hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, or
until 4:00 PM during June, July and August) at 740 W. Boston Post Road
Mamaroneck, New York
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that at the Public Hearing all persons interested
will be given an opportunity to be heard and that all persons are invited to submit
written comments at or prior thereto.
BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD
OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK

the adoption of the proposed Local Law "Regulation of Large

further action.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Fishman, the following

January 21, 2009
Section 1- Purpose:
Over the Memorial Day 2008 weekend, a leaking underground propane tank was
reported. Due to the professionalism of the Town's personnel along with the expertise
of the propane company, the propane in the tank was burned off without injury to
person or property. If this corrective action had not been taken, there could have been
damage not only to the home on the property where the tank was located but to people
and neighboring properties.
Because of the poor condition of the tank, it took over 24 hours for the gas to be
burned off. Throughout this time, Town personnel were required to remain on site,
causing the Town to incur thousands of dollars in overtime compensation. The cost
would have been even higher had not so many of the responders been volunteers
willing to sacrifice their time on a holiday weekend.
This incident has alerted the Town Board to the necessity of developing regulations to
control underground propane storage tanks.
Section 2 - Enactment of a New Section of the Mamaroneck Code:

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
1. Authorization —2009 Capital Project Bonding Resolutions
Mr. Altieri gave an explanation of the Capital Project Budget; these include projects in
the categories of Vehicles & Equipment, Highway Improvements, Sanitary Sewer
Improvements, Drainage Improvements, Buildings and Technology. He explained the
Bond Resolutions before the Board this evening and spoke of the Garden's Lake
Project funding in particular. Mr. Altieri also noted that many of the Capital Projects
involved in this bonding are from 2008. Due to the financial environment these project
were deferred. It was noted that the Town will still see a decrease of$230,000 in its
debt service for 2009, and a continued decrease, albeit less, for 2010. The
recommendation of Mr. Altieri and the Town Comptroller is to issue long term serial
bonds, with an estimated percentage rate, for a AAA rated Municipality, of 3.8% —4.2%.
With respect to Gardens' Lake, Councilwoman Seligson noted that nature is working to
restore this area to a wetland. She is more in favor of doing the first phase of the
Gardens' Lake project which entails the removal of 2,500 cubic yards of sludge material
at $400,000 versus the proposal for the removal of 11,000 cubic yards at$1.5 million.
She thinks the high cost benefitting few, and the continual need for future maintenance,
calls for alternative proposals be investigated. She did, however, note the need for
flood mitigation, and appreciates that as a priority.
The Board noted that with this investment the Gardens' Lake should be more of a Town
wide recreational area offering small boating and fishing.
The 2009 Adopted Capital Project Budget is entered into the record as follows:
See end of the Minutes as Attachment B
On motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, the
