PUBLIC HEARING - Vacancy Rent Decontrol (Unincorporated Area only) On motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Quadrine, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the hearing be and it hereby is de- clared open. The Clerk then presented for the record the affidavit of pub- lication of the notice of hearing, and the Town Attorney, at the -3- Supervisor's request, briefly reviewed the history of the legislation pertaining to rent control as an informational reference for this hearing pursuant to written memoran- dum herewith presented by him and ordered received and filed for the record. During the ensuing discussion, the Supervisor queried whether he was correct in understanding that the Village of Larchmont, and that part of the Village of Mamaroneck known as Rye Neck and lying with the Town of Rye, had already enacted vacancy decontrol, and further, that ac- tion taken by this Board this evening, were it in favor of such decontrol, would not affect that part of the Village of Mamaroneck lying in the Town of Mamaroneck -- which the Attorney replied was the case in all three instances. The Supervisor then inquired as to when such decontrol, were it to be recommended by this Board, would become effective -- and was advised by the Attorney that it would become effective four (4) months from the date of receipt of notification of this Board's action by the State Rent Commission. The Supervisor then inquired whether anyone present wished to be heard either in favor of or in opposition to the proposal, whereupon the only person desiring to be heard, Mr. Owen A. Mandeville, Jr. , addressed the Board, speaking in favor of decontrol. He submitted a presentation entitled, "Vacancy Rent Decontrol - Town of Mamaroneck", which he verbally summarized in the in- terest of time, and which was herewith ordered received and filed for the record with the Board's thanks and ap- preciation. Whereupon, after the Supervisor again inquired whether anyone else present wished to be heard, since no one did, on motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Quadrine, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. And thereupon in reply to the Supervisor's question as to the Board's pleasure in the matter, Councilman Kane stated that he would like to move that the Board adopt a resolution in favor of decontrol on vacancies as they occurred, and following some further discussion regarding a question raised by Councilman Quadrine as to whether there had been sufficient publicity of this hearing to afford all interested persons the opportunity to be heard, on a motion offered by Councilman Kane and seconded by Councilman Brush, the following resolution, upon roll call, was adopted by unani- mous vote of the Board, all members thereof being present and voting: WHEREAS, this Board has been requested to consider the matter of rent decontrol of vacant apartments in the unincorporated area of the Town of Mamaroneck; and -4- WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Mamar- oneck, New York, held a public hearing on Wednes- day, October 7, 1964, at 8:15 p. m. , pursuant to Section 8592, Subdivision 2 of the Unconsolidated Laws of the State of New York, for the purpose of considering whether limited decontrol of certain housing accommodations within the unincorporated section of the Town of Mamaroneck is warranted in respect to housing accommodations which are vacant or which may become vacant in the future and also to consider the adoption of a resolution after such public hearing requesting the Temporary State Hous- ing Commission to decontrol all such vacant housing accommodations within the unincorporated section of the Town of Mamaroneck to be effective on the 1st day of the fourth month following the adoption of such resolution; and WHEREAS, notice of the aforesaid hearing having been duly published in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, on Septem- her 12, 1964, and a notice of the said hearing having been duly sent to the Rent Commission; and WHEREAS, there were none present at the said hear- ', ing desiring to be heard in opposition to the proposed decontrol; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT __.
