Specifications were advertised, and were .picked up by three companies, and a single bid was received, from Carlucci Sanitation, signed by Tom-Carlucci, as partner, in the amount of $2,556,000 for 1984. There was some discussion as to the period of time covered by the bid and clarification was requested. The contract proposed was for a five year period with determination or reconsideration of cost on a yearly basis. A suggestion from a representative of Carlucci Sanitation was that the bid was for three years. Attorney Kramer asked if we should perhaps Authorize re-bidding. Mayor Kabcenell suggested that we first obtain clarification and then perhaps call a special meeting for a re-bid. The, meeting reverted to the Agenda Meeting. A discussion on House Numbering in the Village was proposed, whether it should be an ordinance or a recommendation. Mayor Kabcenell said that it had been proposed that a .Public Hearing be held in the matter of No Parking at the dead end of Wilton Road, near Crawford Park, for which a Public Notice would be required giving the text of the proposed ordinance. Attorney Kramer said we would have sufficient time to do it. Mayor Kabcenell said we should also deal with the problem of all-night parking. We have an ordinance dealing with overnight parking from 11/15 to 3/15 mainly for snow clearing, and another subsequent one relating to alternate side parking mainly in the southern area of the village. . lie thought that some consideration should be'given to snow emergencies, rather than routine all-night parking, to avoid people having to move vehicales around every night, when we really only need that maybe five times a year. It seems like a lot of duress for a lot of people, and lie would like the Board to consider an an ordinance which deals with only snow emergencies. The question was raised as to who decided what is an emergency. The Mayor felt that there should be a substantial penalty, so that people would pay attention to the weather reports, and if there was a doubt, the police department would be able to clarify the situation, and they are always reachable. We should put something together for a Public Hearing and let people discuss it for a long range plan, perhaps Don Brown, Joe Pellino and Georgia Kramer could do that, with some input from the Police Dept. and the Board Members. - Joe Pellinosaid that the Traffic Commission is reviewing the Village Code in general, and this is one of the areas. The Mayor said we now have an ordinance, and the police are told not to enforce it,- becausesome people have no 'place to park, and there are problems if one cards ticketed and others are not. We should review the situation and should try to come up with a reasonable approach. The cost of putting in new signs on all the streets could be high, and there could be alternate approaches. The next suggestion was possibly a public hearing on the Brook Lane/Sunset Road area - we need better definition as to where the proposed signs would be - No Parking on Hill etc. Mrs. Kramer requested more information in order to prepare the text of the proposed ordinance for the public hearing. The next item was the Bowman Avenue/Osborn Place traffic problem, and new information had been received, this was pl'ac;etl on the agenda for the next meeting. The Mayor asked Joe Pellino to make a report at the next meeting as to what has been done as a result of the Traffic Commission recommendations. Ms. Kramer said the Senior Citizen Exemption is to be reconsidered, there has been new legislation allowing us to - increase the exemption on a sliding scale, which will be more difficult to administer. It was put on the agenda for discussion. - Royal Executive Park is considering a subdivision application, and that should be on the agenda for discussion, providing we have the information. Trustee Meiskin asked if they were aware that the Village would expect a give-back, if a subdivision were done, and Ms. Kramer said they were quite aware of that requirement. She said there is also provision for requiring a developer to pay for an Environmental Impact Statement to be reviewed. Since they have indicated a willingness to pay for it, Ms. Kramer felt it would be in order to enact a resolution requiring it. Royal Executive Park and High Point Associates have submitted Environmental Impact Statements and are asking us to accept them, and as lead agency we have an obligation to circulate these, and our decision to do so should be put on the agenda. Our acceptance of the statements would be based on the information supplied by Frederick P. Clarke Associates, and their recommendation should be forthcoming. There are certain contracts for the removal of snow on state and county roads which should be on the agenda, Ms. Kramer said this is normal procedure. A report from the Recreation Department was requested for the next meeting, including the relationship with the Port Chester Softball League - we need space. Report regarding the Assessor's position. - The time limit for publishing the Rye Brook Roll is January 31, 1984. Mayor Kabcenell thought it would be resolved this week. To be placed on the agenda for discussion. - Water supplies - report re Joint Councilproposedmeeting. Report on Busserviceon King Street. Trustee Nardi said there is construction being done in the Village without building permits - perhaps it should be a violation with fines. Mayor Kabcenell said it is a violation and there are several going to court in the next few weeks, but it would be worth looking into to see what is involved. Report on rooming houses and boarders. Trustee Zak suggested a CATV report. The meeting was adjourned at 8.50 p.m.
