POSILLIPO COMMUNITY CENTER On Motion made by Trustee Daly, seconded by Trustee Zuckerman, the following resolution was hereby adopted: RESOLUTION CONTRACT FOR DEMOLITION OF THE ANTHONY J. POSILLIPO COMMUNITY CENTER WHEREAS, the Village solicited proposals for the demolition of the Anthony J. Posillipo Community Center; and WHEREAS, the following proposals were received: Larizza - Capocci Construction Corp $16,200.00 Tran Camp Contracting Corp $16,850.00 Suburban Carting Corp $17,500.00 Olivieri Construction Corp $18,500.00 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village is authorized to enter into a contract with Larizza - Capocci Construction Corp in the sum of'$16,200.00 for the demolition of the Anthony J. Posillipo Community Center; and it is FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is authorized to execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Resolution. Trustee Pellino stated that in reading the bid letters, Suburban Carting, which had a bid of $17,500, included the excavation and removal of a 550 gallon field tank for inspection and cleaning by some other party and none of the other quotes included that specifically. He questioned if the tank will be removed and cleaned by the firm that put in the $16,200 bid. Administrator Russo stated that it will be removed, but the cleaning must be done by somebody else. 5 March 9, 1993 0 0 4 T?l Trustee Zuckerman questioned if this bid was done pursuant to specifications. Administrator Russo stated that there are a set of specifications. There is a demolition plan which is part of the Posillipo plan's that was used to solicit the proposals. There are sidewalks that need to be removed along with a number of other things. Trustee Zuckerman stated that the letters that we see are the bidders version of what they are going to do, but they are all bidding on the same specifications, so the wording for these various bids on the letterhead of the bidders is totally irrelevant. Administrator Russo stated that Trustee Zuckerman was correct. Trustee Solomon questioned if Wyman Brook Development Corp. was a legitimate development Corporation and if we have plenty of references on them. Administrator Russo replied yes.

ENDORSING APPLICATION FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING WESTCHESTER COUNTY CDBG ANTHONY J. POSILLIPO PROJECT On Motion made by Trustee Daly, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the following resolution was hereby adopted: RESOLUTION APPLICATION FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ANTHONY J. POSILLIPO COMMUNITY CENTER RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook is authorized to apply under the Westchester County Community Development Block Grant Program for supplemental funding in the amount of $150,000 in addition to the $200,000 previously committed by the County under the above program for the reconstruction of the Anthony J. Posillipo Community Center; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village Administrator is authorized to take all action necessary or desirable to submit the supplemental funding application to the Westchester County Community Development Block Grant Program; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook will be responsible for the$250,000.00 necessary to complete the reconstruction of the Anthony J. Posillipo Community Center. 6 March 9, 1993 004J f a Trustee Solomon questioned what the chances are in getting additional funding. Lori Ann DeMarco, Assistant to the Village Administrator and Senior Citizens Coordinator replied that it is a very competitive process with only $800,000 available through this application County wide. Trustee Zuckerman questioned when an answer would be forthcoming. Ms. DeMarco replied that the Grant is due March 30th and we expect an answer May 1st. Trustee Zuckerman stated that if we receive this Grant, the Board's obligation will be decreased by that amount. Mr. Harris questioned if this $150,000 for supplemental expenses were counted on. Administrator Russo stated that it is no more than what was planned and anticipated but the actual dollars are a result to a large degree of the new ADA Regulations that came into play during the planning process. Mr. Harris stated that the last estimate was $750,000. Administrator Russo stated that the $750,000 was our original estimate. We are currently up to approximately $950,000 for the total cost of the project but these are speculative prices as we have not yet gone out to bid. Mr. Harris questioned if that included the parking lot, which was $83,000 as well. Administrator Russo replied that the parking lot cost $95,000 and the answer to his question is no.

TRUSTEE DALY VOTING AYE TRUSTEE PELLINO VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SOLOMON VOTING AYE TRUSTEE ZUCKERMAN VOTING AYE MAYOR CRESENZI VOTING AYE DISCUSSION 6. FORMULATION OF LIAISON COMMITTEES Mayor Cresenzi explained that in order to have a quicker and more efficient means of passing information from one Board to another we have decided to have sub-committees to meet with the Blind Brook Board of Education, the Port Chester Board of Education, the Port Chester Board of Trustees and the Town of Rye Council. Trustee Zuckerman stated that he is disappointed that this subject is not on the agenda as a formal resolution this evening. Trustee Solomon questioned if we should appoint a liaison to the County or to our County Legislator. Trustee Daly stated that we should keep it local. Trustee Zuckerman suggested that he and Trustee Solomon be constituted as the committee for the Blind Brook School District, Trustee Daly and Trustee Pellino be constituted as the committee for the Port Chester School District, Trustee Daly and Trustee Zuckerman be constituted as the committee for the Town of Rye and that Trustee Pellino and Trustee Solomon be constituted as the Committee for the Village of Port Chester. He also suggested that the Mayor be the ex-official member of each of the committees. 8 March 9, 1993 Mayor Cresenzi stated that he could not do that as it would create a quorum and it is an illegal meeting. Trustee Zuckerman stated that he thought it would be on a Trustee level because we would run into problems with the other members, however this is open for discussion. When passed; I would also ask that the resolution request that each of the other Boards constitute sub-committees to meet with us on a regular basis as the case may be. Trustee Daly stated that she agreed with Trustee Zuckerman, however we should wait on the Village of Port Chester sub-committees until after the Election so we can see what is going on. Administrator Russo stated that Trustee Pellino and the Mayor sat in on a meeting with the Port Chester School District which turned out to be a very positive meeting and also they have started to meet with the Port Chester sub-committees with regard to the Fire Study, so we should try to see if there is a way to work out the issue of the Mayor being an ex-officio member. Trustee Zuckerman proposed that the Village Administrator, or his designee, be the staff member present at all meetings . Trustee Solomon questioned if there was any reason to have set committees. Mayor Cresenzi stated that we need set committees because otherwise there is no continuity of what you discussed at the previous meeting. Trustee Zuckerman added that the Mayor should continue to meet with the sub-committees and that we should definitely try to work this out. Perhaps the Mayor could continue to meet with the Village of Port Chester on issues such as the Fire Service, as that will only be a temporary issue anyway. Mayor Cresenzi stated that the idea of a liaison is to make sure that the information flows, however, we do not want to get the Village Board involved in day to day decisions that the administration should'be making. What we are interested in doing is laying the groundwork in certain areas to assist the administration in making the decisions. Trustee Zuckerman added that we also need to make sure that the communication is accurate and that by setting up these committees there will be ongoing discussion and trust so that when problems arise, they can be discussed before they reach a crisis point and when opportunities arise, they can be taken advantage of and passed to respective boards without the necessity of going through a long detailed procedure that may let opportunity slip through our fingers. Trustee Solomon stated that Port Chester has one Trustee as a liaison to all their departments and committees. Mayor Cresenzi stated that he did not agree as it is a terrible way to run a government. It creates the potential to undermine the Village Administrator. We have professional staff people who report directly to the Village Administrator, who deal with the issues on a daily basis and then bring the information back to the Village Board. 9 March 9, 1993 004370 7. PROPOSED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (P.U.D.) Trustee Pellino stated that if any of the members have any questions, feel free to ask them now, at the Public Hearing, or any other time. Trustee Pellino stated that he was under the impression that we had discussed setting a Public Hearing date on this tonight for the March 23, 1993 agenda and he was somewhat disappointed. The Board received paperwork from the Zoning Code Update Committee a few months ago and we are available to answer any questions. We have received some input from both members of the Planning Board as well as new members of the Zoning Code Update Committee which we have incorporated. Trustee Pellino suggested that we set a Public Hearing date for March 23, 1993 on a new Planned Unit Development Ordinance. Administrator Russo questioned if December 9, 1992 was the most recent copy of the PUD Ordinance. Trustee Pellino stated that December 9th is the most recent copy and since December 9th, there were three questions raised by one of our current members of the Zoning Code Update Committee. These changes will be available very shortly. On Motion made by Trustee Zuckerman, seconded by Trustee Solomon, the following resolution was hereby adopted: RESOLUTION SETTING PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR PROPOSED LOCAL LAW #3-1993 ENTITLED: A LOCAL LAW REPEALING SECTION 66-7 (E) OF THE ZONING LAW OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK AND SUBSTITUTING A NEW SECTION 66-7 (E) REGARDING PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS RESOLVED, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook on Tuesday, March 23, 1993 at 8:00 p.m. at the Village Offices, 90 South Ridge Street, Rye Brook, NY to consider the adoption of proposed Local Law#3-1993 entitled: A Local Law repealing section 66-7 (E) of the Zoning Law of the Village of Rye Brook and substituting a new section 66-7 (E) regarding Planned Unit Development Districts.

GAMSON DRIVEWAY REQUEST APPROVAL OF MINUTES 5. JANUARY 12, 1993 6. JANUARY 26, 1993 Trustee Pellino stated he received a memo from the Recreation Commission regarding the beautification project for Beechwood Circle. This project has progressed to the point that it has been decided that park benches will not be installed on the circle, but that there will be a type of planting/landscaping beautification done. The memo states that the Village Board recommend this project to the Tree Committee. Trustee Pellino stated that he did not think that this type of project is under the purview of the Tree Committee. Administrator Russo stated that the Recreation Commission is probably not aware of the intent or function of the Tree Committee. Mayor Cresenzi stated that it should either go to Steve Yaraback or Frederick P. Clark & Associates. Trustee Zuckerman suggested that we refer it to the Highway Department, as they take care of that circle and maintain it. 11 March 9, 1993 J L Administrator Russo stated that this started out about two years ago, being referred by this Board to the Recreation Commission, as they dealt with issues of space use, and parkland, that they may be an appropriate body to give the Village Board some advice. They then formed a sub- committee and this is their recommendation. Trustee Zuckerman stated that it was his understanding that the sub-committee of the Recreation Commission made an additional sub-committee including area residents. Those residents should get together and address the Board on the subject at some time in the future at one of our meetings. Administrator Russo stated that he will contact the Chairman of that sub-committee and get the names of the people and invite them to one of our meetings to hear what direction they are going to go. Mr. Circosta stated that as a point of interest, any improvements to that circle would require an expenditure of dollars that of which is not included in the proposed 1993-1994 budget. Mr. Heller questioned when the draft copies of the budget will be ready. Mayor Cresenzi stated that copies of the tentative budget will be made available to the public on March 20, 1993. Mr. Heller stated that he has two books regarding Wetlands available to him. Trustee Pellino stated that he spoke with the Chairman of the Environmental Committee a week ago and she is planning on having the next meeting in April and perhaps we could make copies of those books, if that is possible. Howard Levine of 21 Paddock Road stated that on February 9, 1993 at 9:02 p.m. his wife was in the foyer of their home and someone was standing on the front step and starting rattling on the door and yelled "survey." Fortunately, she did not open the door. I went outside and the person was gone. My neighbor was outside and said that someone rang their bell a few moments ago and when he got to the door he saw the car leaving. I then called the Police Department and spoke to Officer Heil and he said that the Village issues a permit to groups to solicit and they can solicit up to 9:00 p.m. He then sent Officer Gioffre, who checked the area and found no one. I then spoke with Administrator Russo who informed me that we really do not issue permits. There are three things that should be done, first, we should have some sort of control over who is soliciting in our Town, second, I strongly urge that if we adopt some sort of a policy that in the dead of Winter we cut it off at about 6:00 p.m. so we can still see people and third of all, my real concern is are they at risk, because when my wife came and got me I went to the door with a piece of sporting equipment. If people are soliciting, we should publish somewhere the dates and times when. Mr. Levine questioned what would happen if he used his nine iron? We really either control this or at least make the Village aware of when we do have people soliciting at that hour. Mayor Cresenzi stated that Mr. Levine's point was very well taken and directed Attorney Powell to look into this matter. 12 March 9, 1993 0 0 4 1370- Jules ,7C9Jules Harris of Rockridge Drive stated that this might fall under the Peddling and Vending Ordinance. Administrator Russo stated that what is supposed to happen is they are to contact us ahead of time, with a list of solicitors names, social security numbers, addresses, etc.. and what area they will be in, for how long and this goes to the Police Department. The issue of controls on them is an issue in and of itself. Mayor Cresenzi agreed that these people usually notify Police Headquarters when they are going to be in the area. Attorney Powell stated that there have been many court cases where limitation haven't held up and the courts are sanctioning that activity. Trustee Zuckerman stated that part of that is a possible differentiation as to what they are soliciting. The peddling of ideas may be more difficult to regulate than the peddling of something else. Chief Santoro stated that the Jehovah Witnesses are the most cooperative. They come to the Police Department and let us know what time they are going to begin and what time they will finish. Don Brown of Bishop Drive stated that in reference to the Meadowlark Survey, if you go back to the Meadowlark Development, you may find the survey as that is the land that was given for j Recreation. As far as King Street is concerned, he questioned if the "round thing" that sits on the ground and gets pictures from the sky is legal. Mayor Cresenzi stated that it is not legal where it is. A summons was issued because of the location not being proper according to our ordinance. Mr. Brown further stated that the builders on King Street are making dirt on the road and nobody says anything about. Also there is snow on the sidewalks and nobody cleans their sidewalks except the County and it is not fair. These rules must be enforced so that the children can walk to school, as that is why the sidewalks were put in. Mayor Cresenzi stated that he received a fax from the Blind Brook School District regarding the publication of a meeting for the community at large at the Blind Brook High School to meet the new Superintendent of Schools candidate. They share the Cable TV Channel with the Village of Port Chester and currently, Port Chester has this weeks air time, so they are requesting that we put this meeting on our Cable Channel advertising the meeting for them at the Blind Brook High School. Trustee Zuckerman questioned if Blind Brook made a request to Port Chester to permit them space on Channel 36. Port Chester could be nice enough to grant that request. He added that he had no problem putting this on our Cable Channel. Mayor Cresenzi directed Administrator Russo to put the meeting on the Cable Channel. 13 March 9, 1993 0 0 4 57 i Administrator Russo questioned if the Board wanted to deal with the copy machine in the Police Department. Mayor Cresenzi stated that it would have to be held over to the next meeting. Mr. Harris stated that regarding the Veterans Memorial Fund in Port Chester, what troubles him about the contributions to which both the Town of Rye and the Village of Rye Brook have agreed to contribute $10,000 each, the Town, first of all has no money of their own, it comes from the taxpayers of the Village of Rye Brook and Port Chester. What the Town does in giving$10,000 dollars is giving $5,000 dollars of Rye Brook taxpayers money in addition to the $10,000 that we are going to give. Trustee Daly stated that this was not voted on yet and is still under discussion. Mr. Harris stated that $15,000 worth of taxpayer's money from the Village of Rye Brook for a park that the Mayor of Port Chester has declared is the last of the parks that he is interested in fixing up, is a Port Chester park, not a Rye Town Park. It is a sacred cow, because like motherhood and apple pie, you don't talk about the things that could hurt the memory of veteran's. Such a contribution could not be made to the Central Veteran's Committee, which in turn gives it to the Village of Port Chester because they are not a legally constituted corporation with authorization by the State of New York. The auditors would probably find fault with it, if you are considering making such a contribution, keep in mind that it is $15,000 not $10,000. ADJOURNMENT On Motion made by Trustee Solomon, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the Board of Trustees adjourned into Executive Session for personnel litigation at 9:11 p.m. Respectfully submitted, 4� , Elizabeth Bottali Secretary to the Village Board 14
