Bradbury, Village Administrator David Burke, Assistant to the Village Administrator Amanda Kandel, Esq., Village Counsel Gregory Austin, Chief of Police Michal Nowak, Acting Village Engineer Fred Seifert, Public Access Coordinator Paula Patafio, Meeting Secretary Mayor Joan L. Feinstein welcomed everyone to the January 25, 2011 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees. She began the meeting by asking for a moment of silence for Paula Bertolacci, the wife of Rye Brook Recreation Superintendent Robert Bertolacci, who past away suddenly. Mrs. Bertolacci, the mother of two, has been active in the community for many years. She has volunteered for the Village of Rye Brook at many functions, been involved with the summer camp, and was a local real estate broker, working for the firm of C.J. Pagano Real Estate. Board of Trustees Meeting January 25,2011 Page 2 of 17 Mayor Feinstein noted that there was a ceremony held prior to the meeting at which she and the Board of Trustees presented members of Cub Scout Pack 2 with certificates advancing them to the level of Webelos. Mayor Feinstein called for the presentation of a Proclamation to Officer Thomas Fee. Chief Gregory Austin thanked Officer Fee for his 18 years of service to the Village of Rye Brook, and congratulated him on his retirement. Officer Fee thanked the Mayor, Chief Austin, Lt. Matthews, the Board, and the residents of Rye Brook for the opportunity to serve the Village. Mayor Feinstein called for the first item on the agenda: REPORT: 1) AUDITORS REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING MAY 31, 2010 Mayor Feinstein noted that the auditing firm of O'Connor, Davies, Munns and Dobbins, LLP has prepared a 52 page report. The representatives for the firm Leslie Tillotson and John Cosgrove highlighted some of the more important issues for the Board. It was noted that there are four types of opinions that can be received, and unqualified is the best. Rye Brook's financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Village. Included in the financial statements are three funds: the General Fund, the Special Purpose Fund and the Capital Projects Fund. The General Fund is the operating fund. Mayor Feinstein noted that each department worked very carefully to assure a conservative approach to spending. Next year's financial statement will look a little different because of the new hotel tax that began in November, 2010. Mr. Christopher Bradbury, Village Administrator noted that additional information on the audit was available on the Village's website. The next item on the agenda was called before the Board: Board of Trustees Meeting January 25,2011 Page 3 of 17 2) SKETCH PLAN APPLICATION: UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY, 1186 KING STREET Mr. Michael Boender, architect, addressed the Board. He began his presentation by noting that the applicant has proposed the removal of two buildings from the site. One building is a 1500 square foot wood frame structure that is used for the summer camp. The second building is a residential structure that has been condemned. It was used for office space that was relocated to the classrooms when the building was closed. The applicant proposes a new approximately 8,000 square foot building, outside of the wetland buffer. There will be a walk out basement area that will house the pool facilities, changing rooms, a multi-purpose area and a small kitchenette to be used by the employees. The main level, which will be accessible by an elevator, will hold the administrative offices. The existing parking is sufficient. This new building is really a centralization of facilities. Mayor Feinstein noted that this is only a sketch plan and not a full blown application. Things will change. Mayor Feinstein questioned whether or not zoning variances were required. The response was that the property meets all setback and height requirements. Trustee Rosenberg noted that it was nice to hear that the applicant intended to give back some of the wetland buffer. It was noted that nothing is currently being proposed for the site of the current residential structure. The next step in the process is the submission of an application, which will go to the Planning Board for review. Mayor Feinstein thanked Mr. _for his presentation. Mayor Feinstein called for the public hearing regarding Doral Arrowwood: PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1) PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A PROPOSED SITE PLAN MODIFICATION TO THE DORAL ARROWWOOD CONFERENCE CENTER Mayor Feinstein called for a motion to open the public hearing. On a motion made by Trustee Jeffrey Rednick, and seconded by Trustee Michael Brown, the public hearing was opened. Board of Trustees Meeting January 25,2011 Page 4 of 17 Mr. David Burke, Assistant to the Village Administrator, called the roll: Trustee Michael S. Brown Voting Aye Trustee Toby S. Marrow Voting Aye Trustee Jeffrey B. Rednick Voting Aye Trustee Paul S. Rosenberg Voting Aye Mayor Joan L. Feinstein Voting Aye Mr. Chris Grey, representative for the applicant, addressed the Board. It was noted that the application has been before the Planning Board, and a report and recommendation has been sent to the Board of Trustees. Mr. Grey gave a brief overview of the application for the Board of Trustees. He noted that Doral is proposing to install an 8' x 40' container on the property that will house three (3) generators to provide electricity and energy to Doral Arrowwood. The closest home is approximately 550 feet away from this structure. The machines will provide thermal energy to the site. In the winter the machines will operate as many hours as possible. In the summer the hours will be less. They will never be running 24 hours a day. Mr. Grey noted that it is not possible to predict how long the machines will run, or how many will run at the same time. Mr. Grey stated that the sound level is about the same as a Chevy Impala. Tests have been run to determine the sound decibels. The sound level is approximately 78 decibels. Normal conversation is in the 50's. Two people can stand next to the machine and have a conversation. It was also noted that there is an extensive exhaust system that is used to capture the heat. Marilyn Timpone Mohamed, Village Consultant, noted that the applicant has provided noise level testing. There is a cooling tower next to this facility that generates noise. This is an area of a lot of different noise making machines. An analysis of the difference between existing noise and the new noise has not been done, however, the analysis that was done was sufficient and it was deemed that additional analysis was not needed. Issues such as easements, topography, air quality, the lease and underlying issues were all reviewed by the Planning Board. Amanda Kandel, Village Counsel, noted that state and county requirements were also reviewed. Title VI information will be provided to the Village prior to the issuance of a building permit. There are also submissions to be made to the Department of Environmental Conservation. Mr. Michal Nowak, Acting Village Engineer, noted that the Building Department will review all of the information prior to issuance of the Board of Trustees Meeting January 25,2011 Page 5 of 17 Certificate of Occupancy. The applicant is required to make all of the submissions to the Village. Attorney Kandel reviewed the conditions placed on the resolution from the Planning Board. Mayor Feinstein called for members of the public wishing to address the Board. There being no one, she turned to the Board for a motion to close the public hearing. On a motion made by Trustee Rednick, and seconded by Trustee Brown, the public hearing was closed. The roll was called: Trustee Michael S. Brown Voting Aye Trustee Toby S.

Rednick Voting Aye Trustee Paul S. Rosenberg Voting Aye Mayor Joan L. Feinstein Voting Aye Mayor Feinstein thanked the applicant, and the Planning Board for the thorough review. She also thanked Marilyn Timpone Mohamed, Consultant, and HDR, Village Engineer Consultants. Mr. Nick Lyras, a resident of Doral Greens and President of the Homeowners Association, addressed the Board. He noted that this application was moved along quite rapidly without consulting Doral Greens. The first discussion between Doral Greens and Doral Arrowwood was held last Thursday. Doral Greens has the right to veto the application. The Agreement between the two is on file with the Village. Mayor Feinstein noted that the Village has given its approval. They did not have the opportunity to review the Agreement between Doral Arrowwood and Doral Greens. Attorney Kandel noted that the approval was given. During the process the applicant was asked to produce all easements and agreements, and the Village did not have the opportunity to see the documentation that Mr. Lyras referred to. Mr. Lyras noted that this application is relatively minor because it is a temporary container, although he did not feel that it was truly temporary because it sits on a cement slab. He noted that they may not be opposed to the application, but they would like to keep a dialogue open. Mayor Feinstein called for resolution#2: 2) CONSIDERING AN INTER-MUNICIPAL AGREEMENT WITH THE TOWN OF RYE AND THE VILLAGES OF PORT CHESTER AND MAMARONECK FOR A RYE TOWN DISSOLUTION FEASIBILITY STUDY AND VILLAGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Mr. Bradbury read the following resolution: Board of Trustees Meeting January 25,2011 Page 9 of 17 RESOLUTION CONSIDERING AN INTER-MUNICIPAL AGREEMENT WITH THE TOWN OF RYE AND THE VILLAGES OF PORT CHESTER AND MAMARONECK FOR A RYE TOWN DISSOLUTION FEASIBILITY STUDY AND VILLAGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook, Town of Rye and Villages of Port Chester and Mamaroneck have agreed to participate in a Rye Town Dissolution Feasibility Study and Village Alternative Analysis that will, among other things, outline a method to increase government efficiency and promote taxpayer savings; and WHEREAS, the parties have received from the State of New York Department of State a grant in the amount of $50,000 that will pay for the Study and in addition, the Town of Rye and the Village of Port Chester and Rye Brook have agreed to contribute $5,000 each towards the total cost of said study.

The grant was approved and a steering committee has been put together and a work plan was created and accepted by New York State. The Town of Rye is the lead agency for the grant. An IMA must be entered into by the four municipalities. Cost structures, hiring the consultants, and working with the consultants has to be worked out. What is before the Village tonight is the second step. The IMA includes the draft RFP (Request for Proposal). Things are moving forward. Mayor Feinstein thanked Mr. Bradbury for his hard work. She noted that this has been a very good collaborative effort. A consultant will now be on board who look at this in a professional way and they will issue a report. Wherever this ends up the Village of Rye Brook can say that this was professional reviewed. Board of Trustees Meeting January 25,2011 Page 10 of 17 Mayor Feinstein called for questions or comments. Trustee Rosenberg noted that this issue was discussed over seven years ago. A study was done by seven to ten committee members. The Town of Rye at that time was under a prior administration. The analysis performed at that time was an informal analysis. Trustee Rosenberg noted that it will be interesting to see what the professionals come up with this time. No one can guess what the outcome will be. Mr. Bradbury noted that other municipalities have done studies over the years. What is different this time is that four communities are studying the results as one group. The next step is the interviewing of consultants. On a motion made by Trustee Brown, and seconded by Trustee Rednick, the resolution was approved. Mr. Burke called the roll: Trustee Michael S. Brown Voting Aye Trustee Toby S.

Chief Austin noted that the Chief of SUNY Purchase brought this matter to his attention. Rye Brook and Harrison will be signing this agreement. There will be some shared responsibilities. It is something has always been done, but this agreement breaks down the responsibilities. Chief Austin noted that Rye Brook police officers have done training with the SUNY officers in the past. There is a very good relationship here. Rye Brook's roll is basically as a back-up. If someone is arrested on the SUNY campus they are taken to the Harrison Police Station. Many of the SUNY students come into Rye Brook; they shop at the Rye Ridge Shopping Center, eat dinner at the restaurants, etc. On a motion made by Trustee Rosenberg, and seconded by Trustee Brown, the resolution was adopted.

The work on the Ellendale traffic signal and Ridge and Betsy Brown modifications need to be completed, along with additional engineering work. There are also a few sidewalks to be patched. Everything should be completed by the spring. It was noted that another winter storm watch was in effect, with approximately 6" of snow expected. The Village will be out there salting and plowing.
