Suburban newspaper article of December 30, 1998 which stated that with no regard to the possible
danger to himself, Mr. Zaicek jumped into the Passaic River, fought the strong currents, and smashed the
window of the car that Philip F. Owtie was trapped in, seconds before the car was fully submerged. Mr.
Zaicek was accompanied to this evening's meeting by his wife and his five-week old baby. The Board

assessed valuation. From there it goes in increments of$1,000 all the way to $27,000.01 to 27,900 which
would provide a property tax abatement of 5%. So it runs from a maximum 50% to a minimum 5%
exemption. Property affected by this law is property owned by one or more persons, each of whom is 65
years of age or over.

3. CONSIDERING AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE NYS FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE TO BUSINESS (FAB) PROGRAM AND THE FILING OF AN
APPLICATION WITH THE NEW YORK STATE ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES
CORPORATION.
Mr. Russo recapped by noting that the Financial Assistance to Business Dry Cleaner Program is intended
to help dry cleaning facilities meet the financial burden of complying with new state air pollution
regulations as set forth in 6NYCRR Part 232. Funds from the 1996 Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act are
being provided through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation for this purpose. The
dry cleaners within the Village had been contacted directly by New York State. Applications for this
grant money must be post marked by July 31, 1999. The earlier a municipal application is received, the
sooner dry cleaners within that municipality can receive funding. Trustee Degling asked that all dry
cleaners within the Village be reminded of this deadline.
On the motion of Trustee Herman, seconded by Trustee Zuckerman, the following resolution was
adopted:
RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO BUSINESS PROGRAM
AND THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION WITH THE
NEW YORK STATE ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES CORPORATION
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act of 1996, being Chapter 413 of the
Laws of New York of 1996, the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation(the
"Corporation") through the Financial Assistance to Business Program (the"FAB Program") is authorized
to provide state assistance to villages, towns, and cities with a population of less than one million, for
small business environmental compliance assistance projects which enhance the quality of the air or
waters of the State through compliance with environmental laws and regulations, or to remedy or prevent
environmental deficiencies; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees as governing body of the Village of Rye Brook (hereinafter
the"Village"), after due consideration, has determined that participation in the FAB program is desirable
and in the public interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook as follows:
1. The filing of an application, or applications, with the Corporation for financial assistance under
the FAB Program in the form required by the Corporation is hereby authorized, including all
understandings and assurances contained in said application.
2. The individual holding the following office is directed and authorized as the official representative

4. CONSIDERING AUTHORIZING$50,000 BONDS FOR THE ACQUISITION OF
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT.
Mr. Russo summarized the resolution. This bond, which will be paid back in five years, will be used to
purchase computer equipment in order to upgrade the existing AS 400 computer system of the Village.
This includes software and hardware, as well as wiring and back-up systems.
Trustee Zuckerman asked how much of the money would be spent on software and how much on
hardware. He also asked it was possible to pay some in cash that the Village would not need to carry a
large bond. Mr. Russo noted that the processor alone cost approximately $23,000. The components
would run $35,000. The software to upgrade the AS 400 is approximately $5,000, and the hardware is
$30,000. The additional monies would cover such things as firewalls for internet use. Trustee
Zuckerman noted that software is constantly being upgraded and he wanted to be sure that this $50,000
would include everything necessary.
Mr. Russo noted that this amount should be enough to encompass the hardware and software
components. Trustee Zuckerman noted that this upgrade needs to be done and discussions regarding this
have taken place over the past year or two. Mr. Russo stated that the bond money was going to be used
for the upgrade and things that needed to be replaced every year or two would be done on a cash basis
from the operating budget.

5. CONSIDERING AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY
AT 940 KING STREET.
Mayor Filipowski asked Mr. Russo to inform the Board and members of the public about this property. .
The property is approximately 1 acre in total size. It has a 14 room stucco house on it that is in pretty
good condition. It has a 200 amp electrical system and a 1997 furnace. There are four bathrooms and a
fire alarm and smoke detection system in the building. There is a 50 foot area that runs from a point
south of the Hutchinson River Parkway to the house and abuts the atrium building strip.

6. CONSIDERING AUTHORIZING THE AWARD OF CONTRACT 9903—FOR ROAD
REHABILITATION AND RELATED WORK TO ELQ INDUSTRIES.
Trustee Herman asked how many miles of road work this would entail. Mr. Carosi stated that it was
approximately 2 miles and he noted that this proposal was about $100,000 less than anticipated. The
Village provided an estimation of quantities for bid. The quantities that the job will require is based upon
,tonnage estimated for the resurfacing work. What was provided in the contract are unit numbers in
dollars per ton of asphalt, dollars per foot of curbing, dollars per square yard of milling. Upon the
completion of the contract we add up the actual tons of material and the actual footage done and then we
will have a complete total. But, for the purpose of bidding, we provided our best estimates of the total
work that needs to be done. ELQ Industries' bid price is $260,017.86 for performing the work under
this contract. The"approximate" leaves room for circumstances that may come up and for additional
work under the contract within limits set by the NYS Comptroller's requirements.
Mayor Filipowski noted that the next highest bid was $3,100 more. The Village staff and consultants will
be supervising the work to make sure that the contractor is putting down the quantities that the contract
requires. The work will be contained within the constraints of the contract so that it will be as close to
the bid as possible. It is possible that the amount could change by about 10%. Some of the streets to be
resurfaced are Bonwit Road, a portion of Country Ridge Drive, Hawthorne, Barber Place and Mohegan
to the entrance of Pine Ridge Park. This work is scheduled for August.
Trustee Zuckerman asked if the contractor for Red Roof Farm was responsible for any of this
resurfacing. Mr. Carosi noted that a portion of the work has already been completed by Red Roof Farm.
On the motion of Trustee Zuckerman, seconded by Trustee Degling, the following resolution was
adopted:
RESOLUTION
AWARDING CONTRACT 99903
ROAD RESURFACING AND APPURTENANT WORK
WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook has solicited bid proposals for Contract 99903 entitled,
"Road Resurfacing and Appurtenant Work;" and
WHEREAS, a public notice was duly advertised in the official newspaper of the Village of Rye
Brook; and
8
July 13, 1999
WHEREAS, during the notice period eleven(11) copies of the contract documents were
distributed to vendors; and
WHEREAS, at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T., Wednesday, June 23, 1999 the Village of Rye Brook publicly
received, opened and read aloud five (5) proposals; and
WHEREAS, on reviewing the bids, the Village Engineer and the Village's Consulting Engineer
for Dolph Rotfeld Engineering, PC, have determined that the lowest responsible bidder meeting
requirements for the work to be performed is ELQ Industries, Inc., of Mamaroneck, New York, for the
total approximate bid price of$260,017.86 for performing the work under this contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that Contract #9903 entitled, "Road Resurfacing and Appurtenant Work" is hereby
awarded to ELQ Industries, Inc., of Mamaroneck, New York, for the total approximate bid price of
,$260,017.86 for performing the work under this contract; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the contract and all
documents necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Resolution.

7. CONSIDERING ADOPTING THE SCOPE OF DEIS ON THE APPLICATION BY KF
RYE BROOK/GARDEN INN HOTEL.
Mr. Russo read the Resolution. Mayor Filipowski noted that Trustee Zuckerman had requested a
discussion prior to any motion, and that this resolution be tabled to the next meeting. The reason for his
request was that there are a lot of threshold questions that needed to be discussed before a Scope for the
DEIS was adopted. Mayor Filipowski asked Mr. Miller for guidance regarding what the status was in
terms of what can be done. Mr. Miller noted that the time clock is based on 60 days from the submission
of the draft scope which was the day the application was submitted. At that time a positive declaration
had not been adopted, nor had the lead agency been established. Therefore he felt the time clock should
start from the day the positive declaration was adopted. That was done in May and 30 days have past,
leaving 30 days. This item should be placed on the agenda of the August 15th meeting, which would be
60 days.
Some of the questions raised are in regard to the zoning code and what kind of project this will be.
Trustee Zuckerman felt that answering these questions would benefit the applicant and the portion of the
public that are opposed to the application. There has been a request for zoning text changes and
questions that require a formal opinion of the Village Building Inspector.
Mayor Filipowski stated that Ken Powell, Christian Miller, Victor Carosi and Bill Gerety could get
together and look at questions raised by Steven Silverberg, Esq. or have the applicant respond to these
9
July 13, 1999
questions. Mr. Miller felt that one component that is significant here is zoning compliance. That is a
determination that will be made by the Building Inspector and this determination has not been made. The
applicant can provide their interpretation of which laws apply but the ultimate, official determination will
come from the Village Building Department. The applicant may respond to the determination by seeking
to modify its zoning text amendment to allow for more variation in the code than is currently provided.
Mr. Miller noted his recommendation regarding these threshold issues.
Trustee Herman read all of the literature regarding the scope and Mr. Miller's memo and his feeling was
that rather than put the applicant through the preparation of a DEIS it would be appropriate to ask for the
clarifications. He noted that there seems to be a significant disagreement about what if anything took
place between the developer and the Town of Greenwich. He asked for clarification on these issues. Mr.
Miller noted that a scope is an outline of what the DEIS should cover. Approvals are required from the
Town of Greenwich, the Army Corps and New York State. The Village does not have control over
these. Trustee Herman asked that the applicant clarify this issue.
,On a motion made by Trustee Zuckerman, and seconded by Trustee Herman, the Board agreed
unanimously to table this resolution until the next meeting.
Having completed item #8 previously, the Board moved to the discussion portion of the meeting.
DISCUSSION:
9. STOP SIGN LOCATIONS AT OLD OAK AND BONWIT ROADS.
Mr. Russo noted that this matter was put on the agenda in response to a meeting on Red Roof Farms
development issues several weeks ago. The speed of traffic between Bonwit and Old Oak was a concern
for residents. In looking at the approved plans for the Red Roof Farm subdivision it was noticed that
there was one additional stop sign approved. This would be exiting Red Roof Farm and coming onto Old
Oak. The question of whether or not this was adequate was raised. This was placed on the agenda for
the Board to consider it, refer it to the Traffic Commission. Chief Santoro noted that if this item were to
go the Traffic Commission the police department will be involved.
On the motion by Trustee Degling, seconded by Trustee Herman, the Board agreed unanimously to refer
this item to the Traffic Commission.
The Board discussed the August schedule for meetings. As a result of vacations and scheduling conflicts
it was decided that the August meeting schedule would be revised. The next meeting of the Board would
be July 27, 1999 and at that time, the August schedule would be worked out.
Trustee Zuckerman requested a work session for the Board regarding Telecommunications Law. Mr.
Slingerland stated that he had attended a meeting for the Telecommunication Commission, and they had
requested that members of the Board attend their next scheduled meeting for Thursday, August 5th. It
was decided that Trustees Degling and Zuckerman would attend this meeting and report to the Board on
August 10th.
Mayor Filipowski noted that he was in receipt of a report from the Blind Brook Club Acquisition
Committee. He asked that this be put on the agenda for July 27th for discussion.
10
July 13, 1999
Trustee Zuckerman asked for information regarding an application that was currently before the Board
but not on this evening's agenda. Mayor Filipowski noted that the Special Use Permit for Rye Port Realty
was put on the July 27th meeting agenda per a request from Trustee Brackman. Trustee Brackman was
excused from this evening's meeting and would like to be part of the discussion regarding this permit.
Additionally, there was new communication from the applicant's attorney that needed to be reviewed,
Trustee Zuckerman felt that in the future the Board should formally adjourn a matter.
Trustee Zuckerman suggested that information regarding the work being done to the Hutch be included
in the Village's newsletter. This information should include the Ridge Street corridor and the new
overpass. The Mayor noted that the next newsletter is scheduled for late August.
Mayor Filipowski noted that across from Doral Green a water pump station is being installed. This
construction is not connected with the proposed hotel.
Mr. Nicholas Lyras of Doral Greens noted that he received a flyer from Mr. Paul Noto promising a
widening of Anderson Hill Road from Lincoln to King Street. Mr. Russo promised to look into this and
have the information for the next meeting.
Mayor Filipowski requested a motion for an executive session regarding real estate contracts and fire
negotiations. On the motion by Trustee Degling, seconded by Trustee Herman, the Board agreed
unanimously to adjourn at 8:35 p.m. into Executive Session.
Respectfully submitted,
Christopher 1. Russo, Village Clerk
