Trustee Joan Feinstein Voting Aye Trustee Paul Rosenberg Voting Aye Trustee Patricia Sanders-Romano Voting Aye Mayor Lawrence Rand Voting Aye ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: Mr. Bradbury reminded everyone that the Rye Brook Athletic Fields Grand Opening was scheduled for September 17, 200 at 11:00 a.m. Notices are being sent to all residents, and everyone is welcome. He noted that the field has been used for Blind Brook High School's football practice, and a schedule of use has been completed. Mr. Bradbury addressed recycling, as there has been an issue lately with the types of items to be recycled. It is clear that clarification is needed. Some of the rules have been modified, and the rules have also been strengthened and enforced. All rules must be closely followed. He stated that no plastic bags should be used when putting out newspaper for pick up. Residents will receive an OOPS sticker when they are not following the rules. Clarification of the new rules, and what can and cannot be recycled, will be included in the Village's newsletter which is scheduled to go out in September. The amnesty program is underway. Mr. Bradbury noted that there are many benefits to the residents in this program, and the Board hoped that everyone would take advantage. Board of Trustees August 22, 2006 Page 16 It was noted that Employee Recognition Day took place earlier today. The Village also recognized employees who have reached milestones in their career. Congratulations went out to Police Sgt. Terry Wilson for 15 years of service, Police Officer Greg Nolte for ten years of service, and Police Sgt. Davidson for ten years of service. Mayor Rand noted that there was a report on the Port Chester Public Library in the local newspapers that he wished to briefly address. Editorials in the Journal News and Westmore News have supported adding the name of Rye Brook to the name of the library. He referred to an article in the Journal News noting that the Rye Brook taxpayers have been contributing 30% to the Library for many years. It also noted that Rye Brook's residents equal fewer than 30 % of the Library cardholders. The name change may seem to be a petty issue, but the financial commitment, $5 million over 10 years, being asked of the residents of Rye Brook is not. Mr. Bradbury and Mayor Rand will be meeting with the consultants, and are soliciting comments from the residents in terms of what they will expect out of the library. Mayor Rand noted that the name change is not a recent issue. Former Village Trustee, Jules Harris, has noted that in January of 1984, one and a half years after the Village was founded, the Board of Trustees made a request that the name of the library be changed. It was turned down because Port Chester objected to the name change "under the circumstances". The circumstances have changed. Over the past 22 years the Board of the Port Chester Public Library has supported the name change. At this time the ball is in the court of the Port Chester Board of Trustees. The matter is presently in a "cooling off' phase. In the meantime, the Library is being renovated in an attempt to bring the building up to Code. DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1) VILLAGE NOISE ORDINANCE ON WEEKENDS Trustee Joan Feinstein noted that she has been approached by residents expressing their concern regarding construction work being done over the weekends. Leaf blowers and the like start early, interrupting what should be a quiet time. She noted that the Village's Code prohibits construction noise from 9:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. on weekdays. That means that the objectionable types of equipment can be used from 7:30 a.m. Another point of interest is the fact that construction work can begin at 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays, and is prohibited on Sundays unless the residents are doing the work themselves. The concerns that have been raised are valid concerns. People like to sleep late on the weekend, or may be just want to sit outside, relax, and read the newspaper. She asked that this matter be reviewed to see if a balance can be reached between the needs and wishes of the residents with the needs of the landscapers and construction companies. Board of Trustees August 22, 2006 Page 17 Trustee Feinstein noted that the Village does not have jurisdiction regarding school related construction, and that it is important to note that the work on the school must be completed before school commences in September. The Board of Trustees will address this matter with the school to see what can be done. Mayor Rand asked for the status of the Nextel application. Mr. Bradbury noted that Nextel will be re-submitting new plans this week. He will stay on top of this matter, will request payment every month, and will keep the Board apprised of the situation. Trustee Feinstein thanked former Trustee Richard Buzin, who was now a member of the Blind Brook Board of Education, for his work on the PILOT with Reckson Office Park. Mayor Rand called for members of the public wishing to address the Board. There being no comments, he called for an Executive Session of the Board of Trustees, and the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m. The Board of Trustees returned from Executive Session to consider, and pass the following resolution. On a motion made by Trustee Rosenberg and seconded by Trustee Feinstein, the following resolution was adopted: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A WAIVER OF POTENTIAL CONFLICT- VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK AND VERIZON BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby approves and authorizes the Village of Rye Brook to sign a waiver of potential conflict between the Village of Rye Brook and Verizon, permitting Keane and Beane P.C. to represent Verizon in securing Video Franchise Agreements in the Hudson Valley municipalities other than the Village of Rye Brook; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is authorized to execute and deliver all necessary documents to accomplish the purpose of this Resolution.
