2. AUTHORIZING MAYOR TO ENTER AGREEMENT
WITH JAMES J. HAHN ENGINEERING TO REVIEW
THE ENGINEERING DRAINAGE STUDIES RELATED
TO K & M REALTY SITE PLAN PROPOSAL FOR
BOWMAN AVENUE PROPERTY
Mayor Cresenzi stated that there were some concerns raised about this resolution by
Trustees and Attorney Powell looked into the matter so we should have a brief
discussion prior to reading the resolution.
Kip Konigsberg explained that basically, the consultants that the Village are
contemplating hiring are in active litigation with my consultant. It is not that Mr. Hahn
is not a professional, only that there could be very bad blood between the two men and
K&M's project may get caught up in the middle of it.
Attorney Powell stated that this litigation is not between the consultants, but by parties
that they are consulting and added that there is no conflict of interest.
Trustee Daly questioned if other consultants were considered.
Administrator Russo stated that there was a list provided by Frederick P. Clark's Office
and they were the first available ones that had no interest, no previous work that could
possibly be criticized by the numerous groups that have sent letters in and to try to move
this process along quickly, we chose them. This is a professional situation and I am sure
that both men will act professional.
Mr. Konigsberg reiterated that he is very concerned about this situation.
Trustee Pellino questioned if no other consultants were available and questioned if this
consultant has been very highly recommended to the Village.
Administrator Russo stated that there were other consultants available and he was
recommended just as the others were recommended to the Village. He added that at
the last meeting, we held this over and had Mr. Hahn checked out. We spoke to him
and he is aware of the situation and we didn't find any technical problems.
Mr. Konigsberg stated thatihe is concerned about Mr. Hahn reviewing Mr. Meyers work.
The issue is not the scope at all.
Administrator Russo stated that he is being hired to review, primarily, the engineering
study done by Mr. Meyers.
Attorney Powell stated that there is no objective evidence that the consultant has any
bias against Mr. Meyers. It is just a concern of Mr. Konigsberg that he might have that.
The facts don't really lead to that conclusion.
3
November 8, 1994 005-0-49
Mr. Konigsberg stated that if we can go forward with this, and somebody can assure me
that this will not happen, then that is fine, but I don't want my project caught in the
middle.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that there is no practical way to give such assurances. He added
that he would hope that the professionals remain professional.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that according to this resolution, Mr. Hahn is not here to
review the scoping session, only the drainage calculations and flooding matters. I don't
know that we are going to do that at the scoping session.
Mr. Circosta, Director of Public Works stated that Dvirka and Bartilucei will be
reviewing Phase I, Environmental Audit of Site with regards to geo-technical types of
information.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that right now there has been no determination officially
made, that there is a drainage or flooding problem. Who is going to make that
determination under this agreement.
Mr. Circosta stated that this may be brought up at the scoping session.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that somebody is going to get up at the scoping session and
state that they have a drainage problem or a flooding problem and some professional is
going to have to say we will look into it. We are not making a determination at the
scoping session, we are just determining what the issues are that need to be looked into.
Do we need this engineer on board at that time to make that determination or can we
hire him or somebody else at a later date without affecting the scoping session adversely.
Administrator Russo stated that he did not think that we could not have the drainage
study reviewed ahead of time. Mr. Gissen is preparing the draft scope and we will need
the engineer on Board when we do the scoping session in case Mr. Gissen or anybody
else has any questions. Mr. Gissen recommended that we need the engineer on Board at
the time of the scope.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that he would like to get on with this and would feel more
comfortable if Mr. Konigsberg is uncomfortable because there is going to be a lot of
criticism of this project and if at the end, Mr. Hahn agrees with Mr. Meyers, everyone
who is initially opposed to this project will feel more comfortable knowing that somebody
who may have had a conflict with the developer's consultant, actually agrees with him
about the project.
Mr. Konigsberg questioned if the Board could incorporate into the resolution that Mr.
f Hahn communicate with Mr. Meyers to review whatever is submitted such as dialogue
hbetween the two of them.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that he did not think the Village could write a resolution that
would give Mr. Konigsberg the guarantees that he needs.

November 8, 1994
Administrator Russo stated that we will sit down with Mr. Hahn and stress the points
made this evening, to him.
Attorney Powell pointed out that the agreement is subject to termination in ten days.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that if he is not comfortable with it, than he can withdraw
also.
Administrator Russo stated that in the meantime, he can also check to see if Dvirka and
Bartilucci could go in and do the whole thing.
Mayor Cresenzi questioned why we don't just leave the issue open and check with Dvirka
and Bartilucci.
Mr. Konigsberg questioned if we could amend the prior resolution to allow for the
possibility of hiring that firm.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that we could pass this resolution and authorize this and he
doesn't have to get paid or enter into agreement right away.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that we should either not act on it or pass it the way it is.
Mr. Konigsberg suggested that although he is very concerned, the Board should just pass
it the way it is and give Mr. Hahn the benefit of the doubt.
On Motion made by Trustee Solomon, seconded by Trustee Zuckerman, the following
resolution was hereby adopted:
RESOLUTION
AUTHO$IZING MAYOR TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH
JAMES J. HAHN ENGINEERING TO REVIEW THE
ENGINEERING DRAINAGE STUDIES RELATED TO
K&M REALTY SITE PLAN PROPOSAL FOR THE
BOWMAN AVENUE PROPERTY
RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook is authorized to enter into an agreement
with James J. Hahn Engineering, Route 22 and Milltown Road, Brewster, New York,
f 10509, to review drainage and flooding matters in connection with the K&M Realty
f Group site plan application at an initial estimated cost not to exceed $3,000.00, subject to
upward adjustment upon presentation or a further cost proposal approved by the Village
II Board; and it is
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is authorized to execute and deliver all
documents necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Resolution; and it
is
5
November 8, 1994 005542
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the cost of these services shall be paid from the Village's
environmental review fund from monies deposited on behalf of K&M Realty Group.
Mr. Konigsberg questioned if at some point, he could have a full Board site inspection:

Trustee Pellino questioned if there is a meeting scheduled regarding the ambulance

Administrator Russo replied no and added that we are waiting on Port Chester to get
more direction and have not yet heard from them.
Trustee Pellino asked Administrator Russo contact Village Manager Michael Graessle
tomorrow to discuss this situation and try and resolve this issue as it is dragging on way
too long.
Mayor Cresenzi suggested that we also contact Rye and have a meeting with the three
communities to come to some type of agreement.

Trustee Zuckerman stated that he has a problem with the computer purchase, attempted
to reach the Administrator Russo today but he was unavailable, therefore, he suggests
that it be eliminated from the resolution. When we passed the bond resolution, he had
stated at that meeting that before we purchase any equipment, he wanted to discuss it.
He added that he is not in favor of the purchase that was made and would like to discuss
it with the Adminisirator Russo and the Board members before we go forward.
Administrator Russo stated that that was not what was said at that meeting, what was
said at that meeting was to sit down and review what the program was, not to stop or not
order any equipment. All equipment with regard to that bond issue has been ordered,
wiring has been completed, P.C.'s have been delivered, they have not been unpacked.
There are eight P.C.'s off of the IBM State contract of which we checked prices not to
say that it can't be purchased slightly cheaper some place else but that has been done
and it is totally being coordinated by IBM through State contract including the set up
and the software.
Trustee Zuckerman questioned why they are sending us discontinued models when we
could purchase state of the art machines that are just coming off of the assembly line for
less.

November 8, 1994 005545
Administrator Russo stated that we purchased what is required to meet the total needs
of the Village going forward.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that he disagreed with this purchase and requested that the
order be stricken from the Check Register.
Trustee Pellino stated that he is not entirely aware of the conversation that may have
taken place at that Board meeting. He saw the cost of the 486 computer and feels that
they can probably be purchased a little cheaper. He doesn't know what, if anything, we
will be gaining by delaying this purchase.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that he had the purchase order faxed to him this afternoon
and he went into Comp USA and for practically the same price instead of a DX33, you
could buy a DX 266 with a 500 megabyte hard drive.
Trustee Pellino questioned if there is a deadline on the state contract.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that the deadline is July 31, 1995.
Trustee Pellino suggested that we hold off on this and meet and satisfy Trustee
Zuckerman's concerns and requests.
Mayor Cresenzi suggested that we cut the check and bold it.

Mr. Berner also suggested that the Board bold an Executive Session between now and

DISCUSSION
Trustee Zuckerman stated that the members of the Board have discussed from time to
time, the possibility of extending the terms of Mayor and Trustee in the Village of Rye
Brook and for example, in the November Town Election, on the ballot, they are
proposing to extend the term of office of the Supervisor and the Highway
Superintendent for four years. There are also other Villages and Towns that have
extended their terms to four years. To extend to any other term higher than four years,
f requires State Legislation, I would like to call for a public hearing on whether the term
of office of the Mayor and Trustees should be extended to four years and even
numbered years.
10
November 8, 1994 005547
Trustee Pellino agreed with Trustee Zuckerman and stated that he brought this matter
up in the past. Public servants on a Village/Town level need a four year term in order to
provide productive representation to their communities in terms of delivering services,
budget planning and long term planning. I vigorously support the extension of the two
year term to four years. There are more benefits than detriments and to those who will
immediately say that it flies in the face of term limits that many politicians and citizens
are calling for today. I view term limits and the length of a term as two separate issues.
The term defines the length of time that a Trustee or a Mayor can plan on to do certain
things for the Village that will hopefully hold well for the Village for the future. If the
citizens of the community wanted to discuss the number of terms that a Trustee of a
Mayor can serve that is a subject for a separate discussion in my opinion, however I
vigorously support the extension of the terms to four years.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that he has no problem calling for a hearing on the matter to get
the ball rolling.
Trustee Pellino added that in any Village, especially in Rye Brook, we have Elections
every year which cost a considerable amount of money to conduct. I think our last
election cost over $6,000.00 to conduct so that is a budget item that we currently have to
plan for every year and if the terms are extended to four years, the elections would be
every other year.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that by the time we have a public hearing on this, the results
from the Town of Rye election will be in and also other jurisdictions that are considering
extending terms.
Ken Heller questioned if the citizens will be allowed to vote if the terms should be two
years or four years or if this Board is going to decide like the old story.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that the old story is called a permissive referendum.
Mr. Heller stated that means it can be done without a public vote.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that there will only be a permissive referendum if it is brought by
the residents of the community otherwise it will be by local law.
Mr. Heller stated that in other words, this Board would decide arbitrarily whether or not
they want a four year term of office.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that Mr. Heller should put it in the right order, if you are going
to say it, do it right. If we thought that this was a good idea, after a public hearing, we
would pass a local law ending the terms of office at four years. If the electors are
unhappy with that, they are to get a petition together forcing it to be a ballot item at the
March Village Election.
11
November 8, 1994 005548
Mr. Heller stated that the Town of Rye Council is asking its citizens for permission to
extend the term to four years. You are saying that we must go out and gather signatures
to allow the citizens to decide and making it much more difficult for our residents.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that it is called Village Law versus Town law that the State
mandates us to be governed by. The Town must do it that way. He asked Attorney
Powell whether or not he was correct.
Attorney Powell stated that the Village Law provides one procedure for this extension of
terms and there is another procedure under the municipal home rule law which the
Towns are utilizing, therefore, confirming Mayor Cresenzi's comment.
Mr. Heller stated that
Mayor Cresenzi stated that when the pool issue was a hot item, there was no way, other
than passing a resolution either for or against, that this could have been a referendum
item. The permissive referendum. The State does that because the State says we are
elected by the people to decide issues, it is our job to make decisions so if we decide to
pass this local law after public hearing and the residents don't like it, the out is a
permissive referendum by petition and that is State Law.
Mr. Heller stated that what we have here is an Executive body, who has decided to take
it upon itself to extend their terms to four years and I am only saying this because one of
the Trustees made a speech. To extend your term because you think that you could
better serve the Village......
Mayor Cresenzi interrupted Mr. Heller and informed him that this is not a public
hearing and all this resolution calls for is to set a public hearing. At this time, he stated
that there will be no further discussion on the matter until the public hearing.
Mr. Heller stated that the Mayor is out of order.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that Mr. Heller is out of order, case closed.
