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.

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. (The text of this resolution begins on the next page.) 5 July 13, 1999 On the motion of Trustee Degling, seconded by Trustee Herman, the following resolution was adopted: RESOLUTION BOND RESOLUTION DATED JULY 13, 1999, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $50,000 SERIAL BONDS OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK TO FINANCE THE ACQUISITION OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT PURSUANT TO THE LOCAL FINANCE LAW OF NEW YORK BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook, New York as follows: Section 1.

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.

Trustee Brackman Absent Trustee Degling Voting Aye Trustee Herman Voting Aye Trustee Zuckerman Voting Aye Mayor Filipowski Voting Aye 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. Trustee Brackman Absent Trustee Degling Voting Aye Trustee Herman Voting Aye Trustee Zuckerman Voting Aye Mayor Filipowski Voting Aye 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 11
