Subject: RE: comments on re-draft LWRP from HCZMC sub-committee
Rich, Mayor Rosenblum and Board of Trustees:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the comments/updates to the draft LWRP from the HCZMC
working group. Recognizing that the working group updates have not been submitted to DOS for a
formal review, I offer you and the Board of Trustees (BOT) the following comments in an effort to assist
the Village in developing a draft LWRP that will work for all parties concerned. Unfortunately, without
the benefit of a red lined version showing what language in the update is new, it’s difficult for me to
determine all of the new text without an exhaustive back and forth between the two documents, as
such, I’d like to offer my general observations on the working group’s update:
1. The Executive Summary and Introduction sections offer a nice lead-in to the LWRP document by
presenting the purpose, objectives, goals and benefits of the LWRP. While some of this
language is carried over from the 2014 draft, there is new language that introduces the
document nicely.
2. As I indicated in an earlier email to you on the working group’s updates, the updated inventory
and analysis section has new information that appears to improve upon the draft LWRP. I’m
aware that the working group did extensive research for this section and I believe that any new
information they’ve found will bolster the existing text. I encourage the Village to combine the
information from the update with the earlier draft for a more thorough inventory and analysis
section.
3. The working group proposes to use the 44 coastal policies instead of the Long Island Sound 13
policies that were recommended. While the decision of which policies to use is an important
decision that I will leave entirely to the Village – I caution you to be aware that some of the
language in the updated 44 policies may violate New York State policies and is therefore
inappropriate to use – i.e. the disposal of dredged material in Long Island Sound. No matter
which policies the Village decides to go with, the LWRP policies will need to be reviewed by our
legal counsel to determine their legality.
4. As with the inventory and analysis section, the updated proposed land uses and projects and
alternatives section includes some new project ideas that would be beneficial to add to the
LWRP. That being said however, there are some proposed projects relative to the consistency
review process that should not be proposed as projects but rather incorporated into the local
consistency review law and the consistency review process proposed as part of this LWRP.
Likewise, the proposed project to update the Harbor Management Plan should not be a
proposed project but rather should be incorporated into this LWRP update. This draft LWRP has
many of the required elements to establish a Harbor Management Plan so there is no need to
have a project to update the existing one. Please review the sections of the LWRP to ensure that
it identifies existing on-water uses, has policies and laws for regulating on-water uses, and has
proposals for future on-water uses. As for the proposed project to “Strictly Enforce Village
Law…” – it has no place in the proposed projects section. It should go without saying that the
Village’s local laws should be enforced and it is inappropriate to have that as a proposed project
in the LWRP.
Overall the LWRP working group has proposed much language and updates that should be incorporated
into the 2014 draft LWRP. The LWRP policy structure will need to be addressed by the Village before the
draft LWRP is submitted for determination of readiness for 60-day review. I offer these thoughts as
guidance towards developing an LWRP that achieves the Village’s vision for its waterfront – and I thank
you for the opportunity to comment on this draft.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Kind Regards,
Jaime Ethier

Jaime:
I hope you enjoyed the rest of your summer, and Labor Day weekend.
This is a reminder that if you have time to get back any comments you may have on the re-draft LWRP
from HCZMC sub-committee, so the Board can review and consider them at the Monday September 21st
Work Session. Therefore we would need them, if you have them, by 12 Noon on Friday, September 18th
.
If you are still working on them and unable to reply by Friday, let me know so I can inform the Board.
Thank you very much for all your assistance.

RESOLUTION RE:
ESTABLISHING A PILOT PROGRAM FOR THE WASHINGTONVILLE
NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE BAGGING OF LEAVES DURING THE 2015 FALL
LEAF COLLECTION PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Village has held several meetings to review various quality of life
issues residents from the Washingtonville Neighborhood which includes portions of, and in some
cases the entirety of the following streets:
Alling Street
Center Avenue
Grand Street
Madison Street
Old White Plains Road
Pelham Street
Plaza Avenue
Washington Street
Waverley Avenue
WHEREAS, among these quality of life issues, there have been concerns raised relative
to traffic, parking and flooding in this neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the Village is attempting to address many of these concerns through
increased code enforcement, the redeployment of sanitation personnel to insure that garbage
collection does not conflict with the peak morning traffic hours, and the seeking of legislation to
help prevent commuter parking on these residential streets as they are in close proximity to the
Metro North train station; and
WHEREAS, in regard to the aforementioned traffic, parking and flooding issues,
concern has been raised relative to the fall leaf collection program because the large piles of lives
which often extend into the street eliminate parking while also narrowing the width of the
roadway, both impediments to traffic and pedestrian safety and clogging catch basins with
leaves; and
WHEREAS, during a meeting with neighborhood residents held on April 21, 2015, the
concept of requiring leaves to be bagged and placed curbside was discussed and there was
generally positive response to this suggestion and a pilot program be established for the 2015
leaf collection program; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Village Board of Trustees request that the Village Manager
establish a pilot program for bagged leaf collection for the Washingtonville neighborhood for the
2015 fall leaf season.

WHEREAS, the Village has held several meetings to review various quality of life issues residents from the Washingtonville Neighborhood which includes portions of, and in some cases the entirety of the following streets:
Alling Street Center Avenue Grand Street Madison Street Old White Plains Road Pelham Street Plaza Avenue Washington Street Waverley Avenue
WHEREAS, among these quality of life issues, there have been concerns raised relative to traffic,

enforcement, the redeployment of sanitation personnel to ensure that garbage collection does not conflict with the peak morning traffic hours, and the seeking of legislation to help prevent commuter parking on these residential streets as they are in close proximity to the Metro North train station; and
WHEREAS, in regard to the aforementioned traffic, parking and flooding issues, concerns have been
raised relative to the fall leaf collection program because the large piles of leaves extend into the street. These piles eliminate parking, narrow the travel space of the road, and when drive upon are crushed or parked over, which makes it virtually impossible for the DPW to remove as part of the normal Fall Leaf Collection Program, which creates impediments to traffic and pedestrian safety and causes catch basins to be clogged with leaves; and
WHEREAS, during a meeting with neighborhood residents held on April 21, 2015, the concept of
requiring leaves to be bagged and placed curbside was discussed and there was generally positive response to this suggestion and therefore it is proposed that a pilot program be established for the 2015 leaf collection program;.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees requests the Village Manager to establish a pilot program for leaves to be bagged in the Washingtonville neighborhood for the 2015 fall leaf season, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees authorizes the Village to offer and supply the
biodegradable paper leaf bags as part of this pilot program, upon proof of residency.

RESOLUTION RE:
BUDGET AMENDMENT TO FUND NEW RECREATION ASSITANTS POSITIONS AND
SPECIALIST FOR HAPPY HARBOR PLAY PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Village of Mamaroneck Parks Department has as its mission to preserve, enhance and
inspire a healthy lifestyle that will enrich the mind, body and spirit through diverse and dynamic programming;
and
WHEREAS, over the past 18 months, in support of this mission, the Recreation Department has
reviewed existing operations, identified efficiencies that can be realized while at the same time implementing
change and new programming to meet the current and future needs of the residents of the Village of
Mamaroneck; and
WHEREAS, the Recreation staff, in conjunction with the Parks staff and the Senior Administration
have worked diligently to enhance current operations and provide opportunities for the department’s
professional growth, however, the ability to increase recreation programming is dependent on the number of
staff available to develop, coordinate and operate these programs; and
WHEREAS, In accordance with the expressed objectives previously noted, staff began to look at long-
term operational needs and implementation of a new play program for children ages 3 & 4 as the best
opportunity for new programming in a time block when these facilities are not being fully utilized; and
WHEREAS, based on this operational review, staff is requesting that funding for two (2) new full-time
Recreation Assistant positions and one part-time Recreation Leader position be appropriated as well as funding
for a seasonal “Specialist” position to operate the Happy Harbor Play Program; and
WHEREAS, the cost of these positions is estimated at approximately $172,000 ($145,000 for the 2
Recreation Assistant positions and $27,000 for the Specialist) and in order to properly fund these positions and
programs, a budget amendment is necessary; and
WHEREAS, this fiscal year, through the reorganization of staff, the Village realized significant
savings in personnel costs for beach operations and significant revenue increases for parking and beach access
and based on the nature of these changes, staff believes that, although attendance will vary from year to year,
there will be permanent expense reductions and revenue increases in order to fund the Recreation Assistant
positions and new revenues to support the Specialist to operate the Happy Harbor Play program; now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, that in order to fund this effort the Village Manager, in his capacity as Budget Officer and
the Village Clerk-Treasurer are herein authorized to process the following Budget Amendment:

Re: Recreation Programs and Operations
Date: September 18, 2015
Revised: September 25, 2015
Our mission is to preserve, enhance and inspire a healthy lifestyle that will enrich the mind, body and spirit through diverse and dynamic programming.
In partnership, the Departments of Parks and Recreation strive to provide services which respond to the changing needs within our communities for present and future generations. Over the past 18 months, in support of this mission, the Recreation Department has reviewed
existing operations, identified efficiencies that can be realized while at the same time
implementing change to, and implementation of new programming to meet the current and future
needs of the residents of the Village of Mamaroneck. It is to be noted that this is accomplished
with three (3) authorized Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions, of which, the Senior Office
Assistant is shared between the two departments and provides administrative support to the Parks
Department.
It is worth noting that in a larger context, the Village recreation department is understaffed as
compared to municipalities of similar size which often have 2-3 times the number of FTE
positions. As noted, the Village’s recreation department has 3 FTEs, however, because of the
relatively small staff, the Superintendent position spends more time on the programming side as
opposed to management and strategic planning. Based on conversations with the Senior
Administration, Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee and the Village Board, there has been
a long-term desire to see a transformation in the recreation department and expansion of
programmatic offerings. The Recreation staff, in conjunction with the Parks staff and the Senior
Administration have worked diligently to enhance current operations and provide opportunities
for the department’s professional growth. However, the ability to increase recreation
programming is dependent on the number of staff available to develop, coordinate and operate
these programs.
This year, through the reorganization of staff, the Village realized significant savings in
personnel costs for beach operations and significant revenue increases for parking and beach

access. Based on the nature of these changes, staff believes that, although attendance will vary
from year to year, there will be permanent expense reductions and revenue enhancements.
In accordance with the expressed objectives previously noted, and concomitant with the busy
summer season during which the department oversees the day camp program, beach, as well as
several special events, staff began to look at long-term operational needs and implementation of
a new play program for children ages 3 & 4. Although the program is geared for pre-school aged
children, the Village is not operating a pre-school. The program is to provide a recreation play
program through which young children can develop social skills, boost self-esteem and foster
early childhood participation in learning.
Based on this operational review, staff is requesting that funding for two (2) new full-time
Recreation Assistant positions be appropriated. In addition, staff is seeking as well as funding
for a seasonal “Specialist” position to operate the Happy Harbor Play Program.
During the months of September – June, one of these Recreation Assistant positions would work
with the Specialist in the Happy Harbor Play program. For a fuller description of general roles
and responsibilities, I would refer you to the attached staff responses to questions asked by
Trustee Potok.
As far as funding of these positions, it is important to note that irrespective of the Happy Harbor
Play program, staff would have requested funding for the 2 Recreation Assistant positions. As
such, it is appropriate to look at funding for these positions separately from the Specialist
position.

As noted in a previous correspondence, the Village realized significant savings and revenue
increases as a result of operational changes and efficiencies and these two positions can be
funded through the recognition of revenue increases and cost savings which are believed to be
permanent and the following is offered to demonstrate how these positions can be funded:
Revenue
General Ledger Account # Adopted Revised Increase
A.0170 - Transportation
.1729.0110 – HI Parking Daily $60,000 $93,682 $33,682
A.0200 Culture & Recreation
.2025.0020 – Beach Daily Sales $60,000 $104,600 $44,600
Expense
General Ledger Account # Adopted Revised Savings
A.7180 Beach
.0130 – P/T Salaries $115,984 $63,000 $52,984
Based on the above, revenue enhancements and expense reductions total $131,266. However,
going forward, there will be potential operational savings by eliminating the need to fund both a
Beach Manager and Assistant Manager which will save an additional $34,000. Given these
reduction in expenses, increases in revenues and potential reallocation of funds going forward,
there should be sufficient funding for the 2 new full time Recreation Assistant positions.
SPECIALIST FOR HAPPY HARBOR PLAY PROGRAM
As designed, the “Happy Harbor Play” program will provide programming on a daily basis
through four (4) blocks of timing as follows:
9:00am - 11:30am Sunshine Play (art, education, play, story time - will differ from Island Time)
11:30am – 12:30pm Lunch Play Date (children bring their own lunch and eat, play & socialize)
12:30pm – 3:00pm Island Time (art, education, play, story time - will differ from Sunshine Play)
3:00pm – 5:00pm Social Play Program (Playground and beach – inside as weather requires)
Based on staff’s analysis, to adequately operate this program will require two (2) positions. One
Specialist position and one assistant. Based on an anticipated 180 day schedule, the following
staffing levels are recommended.
Sunshine Play (1 Teacher, 1 Assistant)
Lunch Play Date (1 Assistant)
Island Time (1 Teacher, 1 Assistant)
Social Play program (1 Assistant)
4 | P a g e
As noted section, the Recreation Assistant Position is proposed to be funded through the existing
budget, as such, this analysis will only consider funding for the Specialist Position is estimated is
1080 hours (180 days * 6 hours per day) @ $20/hour
Based on the above, salaries are anticipated at $21,600. Benefit rates could increase this by up to
30% or for total personnel costs of $28,080.
Based on current programmatic suggestion, the program would be limited to a maximum of eight
(8) participants. Based on the fee structure as proposed and the maximum number of attendees
the following projections are provided.

Based on these projections, anticipated revenues are sufficient to fund this specialist position.
As demonstrated above, sufficient funds exist in the FY 2015/16 General Fund Budget pending
approval of a budget amendment to fund both the 2 new full time Recreation Assistant positons
as well as the Specialist to operate the Happy Harbor Play program.
Given the need to adopt a budget amendment for this program, I would respectfully request that
this item be included on the September 28, 2015 regular meeting agenda for review and
discussion.
I thank you for your time and attention to this matter. If you have any questions, or require
additional information, please contact me.

Before one makes statements one should verify pertinent facts. Neither Chief Leahy or Barry Casterella "assigned". They like everyone else on the committee were asked if they would like to participate and those who are typically associated with the deer situation. Potok your continuous campaign to attack the office of Mayor is very obvious and well known to the public as related to me commentating on your obstructionist manner. Perhaps if you were more concerned about the real problems and concerns of VOM the positive improvements would become a reality instead of your petty actions and what I believe to be a psychotic grab for power that you will never reach.

MAYOR’S REPORT – THIS IS MAMARONECK
A. Burbio
Mr. Dennis and Mrs. Julie Roche from Pelham appeared. They are the founders of Burbio, a community
calendar platform that is zip code driven. It is currently in 18 towns across Westchester. The Roche’s
presented how it works and how it could be linked to the Village of Mamaroneck website. They also discussed
how are meeting calendar can be linked to their Burbio calendar for Mamaroneck. The Board asked that staff
work with the Roche’s on this.
B. Micro Grip Project
Mayor Rosenblum stated that the Village of Mamaroneck is investigating the feasibility of building a
micro grid to support essential services of the community using a combined system of grid-tied Photo-Voltaics
(solar), battery storage and natural gas-fired co-generation. There will be a presentation open to the public on
September 29th.
C. Nicole Donovan
Ms. Nicole Donovan, author of The Mercy Tree appeared. She is an independently published author. She
has also published Whatever it Takes, under the pen name Nicolette Scarletti. Ms. Donovan’s books are available
on Amazon and also at Main Hosiery, where she is currently employed.
BOT 09/16/2015 p. 2
D. Hispanic Resource Center (not on agenda)
Mayor Rosenblum announced that the Hispanic Resource Center has merged with the CAP Center and
the building has been purchased by the new group – the Community Resource Center. Mayor Rosenblum also
read a press release given to him by the Mamaroneck Schools Superintendent recognizing the Mamaroneck
School District as a bright spot in Hispanic education by the White House.
COMMUNICATION TO THE BOARD
Mr. Stuart Tiekert of Beach Avenue appeared regarding the aesthetics at Harbor Island Park. The fence
is still an eyesore. Mr. Tiekert stated that contrary to what was stated by Mayor Rosenblum and Trustee
Santoro, the Recreation Committee did not recommend the fence being put up. He went through all of their
meeting minutes and they barely discussed it. He also found no record of the Board voting down the raising of
the gates as stated by Trustee Santoro. Mr. Tiekert also stated that Trustee Santoro, today on LMC-TV stated
that we are dredging our rivers. He thought you needed permits for that. If that is not being done, he hopes
that is corrected. Trustee Santoro also stated that we have dredged the rivers every year and it is in the budget;
he sees no indication of that since the spring of 2013. Mr. Tiekert stated that there are dying trees all over the
Village. He believes we are going to plant more trees without investigating why they are dying. Lastly he
asked for an update on stormwater and Sportime. He read something that inferred that we are out to bid. He
asked if there is a plan for fixing Sportime. Mr. Tiekert hopes that there is focus put on this.
Mayor Rosenblum stated that he received correspondence from Mr. Sousa regarding construction of his
home at 440 Beach Avenue. Mr. Sousa that Trustee Finch visited and raised issues with the plan and also
asked to make an inspection. He finds it unusual for a Trustee to be making inspections; he believes that this
should be done by a member of the Building Department. There was also a threat made against him as noted on
a police report. There are also reports of vandalism and harassment.
Mayor Rosenblum is concerned by this as a Trustee is only a Trustee at a meeting. They should not be
visiting building sites as this opens the Village to legal issues. The Mayor asked that the Village Attorney
respond to this letter. Trustee Potok asked why this letter was not sent to the rest of the Board before now;
why he ambushed the Board in this way. It would have been common courtesy to send to the Board before
bringing up in a public meeting. This is purely dirty politics. Trustee Finch stated that there is no basis for this
and he looks forward to speaking with the Village Attorney regarding this.
1. PUBLIC HEARINGS
None
2. AUDIT OF BILLS
A. Abstract of Audited Vouchers
On motion of Mayor Rosenblum, seconded by Trustee Santoro:
Mr. Stuart Tiekert appeared again. He handed out a document on NY Village Law Section 5-524 in
regard to audit and payment of claims. He highlighted how no claim shall be ordered paid unless such claim is
BOT 09/16/2015 p. 3 in writing and itemized and approved by the officer or employee whose action gave rise to the claim; and that
this is not being done. He also reviewed what payments may be made in advance of audit of claims and that
those claims shall be presented at the next regular meeting for audit; this is also not being done. Mr. Tiekert
also handed out the findings of a recent audit done by the Office of the Comptroller on the Village of Cape
Vincent. This states that the Board did not properly audit claims to ensure that they were adequately
supported or were for proper Village purposes. Without a thorough and deliberate examination of the
individual claims and the supporting documentation, the Board does not have enough information to determine
whether the claims it approves are appropriate and legitimate and there is an increased risk that improper
claims could be paid. It recommends that the Board should ensure it conducts a thorough and deliberate audit
of all Village claims or formally establish an Office of the Auditor to fulfill the claims audit function and to
ensure each claim contains appropriate approvals and sufficient supporting documentation. He had a copy of a
voucher that was paid for Mayor Rosenblum to attend a function, without being authorized. Mr. Tiekert asked
the Village Attorney to opine on whether this should have been paid. Trustee Potok asked that Mr. Goldberger
opine on whether or not the Board is property conducting themselves in paying abstracts.
Trustee Miller asked about the invoice from McCarthy Fingar. Mr. Goldberger stated that he would
have to look at it and will report back to the Board.
RESOLVED that the Abstract of Audited Vouchers dated September 16, 2015 for and copy being filed
with the Village Clerk in the amount of $806,695.33 is received and hereby ordered paid.
Ayes: Finch, Potok, Miller, Santoro, Rosenblum
Nays: None
B. Abstract of Manual Pre-paid Voucher
On motion of Mayor Rosenblum, seconded by Trustee Potok:
RESOLVED that the Abstract of Manual Pre-paid Vouchers dated September 16, 2015 for and copy
being filed with the Village Clerk in the amount of $296.51 is received and hereby ordered paid.
Ayes: Finch, Potok, Miller, Santoro, Rosenblum
Nays: None
3. OLD BUSINESS
None
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution Authorizing Activation of $220,000 in Reserved Funds for Parks Improvements for Florence, Warren and Stanley Park Basketball Courts and Warren Park Tennis Court; Including Authorization to Award Contract 2015-09 for Upgrade of Basketball and Tennis Courts at Florence, Stanley and Warren Avenue Parks
Trustee Finch stated that he is recusing himself from this due to a possible conflict of interest.
Trustee Miller asked about the bid process. Mr. Sarnoff stated that bids are sent out and posted on our
website; however, we cannot force people to bid. We also have no way of tracking exactly who looks at the
bids on line. We do know and keep track of those individuals who pick up hard copies of bid packages. The
Board asked that staff contact the website provider to see if there is any way to track who visits the bid site.
BOT 09/16/2015 p. 4
Mr. Stuart Tiekert appeared again and asked how much impervious surface is being added by doing
these improvement? Mr. Sarnoff stated that it is approximately a six-inch patch and is under the regulatory
threshold. Mr. Tiekert suggests that given the problems that the Village has had with public works projects,
they show down this train. He understands that the election is coming, but he would like to have the
opportunity to look at a plan and none was available before the meeting. He did review the project description
and it states that four feet of imperious surface is being added. This is not setting a good example. It is a
matter of protecting the tax payers’ interests.
Mayor Rosenblum believes that quality of life is also an issue and the safety and condition of the
facilities. Trustee Miller asked if the work being done is guaranteed and if so, for how long. She was told that
there is a performance bond that is part of all contracts. Trustee Potok stated that the performance bond is not
a guarantee of the work. It is only that the work will be done to the specifications listed in the RFP. Mr.
Slingerland believes that if the Board is looking for a specific guarantee that this could change the value of the
contract. Mayor Rosenblum suggests that they take a look at other work done by this company around the
Village. Trustee Miller stated that she has asked that all Requests for Proposals have a guarantee provision; she
has been asking for this for a while. Mr. Goldberger stated that he would like to go over the contract more
closely, but there is a site work guarantee for a period of one year from date of completion. There is also a
maintenance bond that would cover that guarantee for that period of time.
RESOLUTION RE: AWARDING CONTRACT 2015-09 - STANLEY AVENUE PARK, WARREN AVENUE PARK AND
FLORENCE PARK TENNIS AND BASKETBALL COURT REHABILITATION
WHEREAS, several projects identified in the FY 2015/16 Capital Budget & Plan relate to

WHEREAS, DeRosa has performed many similar projects throughout Westchester County, and
locally, performed the Warren Avenue Tennis Court Rehabilitation Project in 2010 and the Village has been

B. Resolution Authorizing Performance Bond Related to 1017 Grove Street
Mr. Tiekert appeared again. He stated that he is baffled by this. The last time this was done was for
Pine Street and that cost the Village $50,000. The Village let it lapse; time out. He asked if the Village’s name
should be on the Letter of Credit. Trustee Miller asked if they could approve this without the Village being
named beneficiary. Mr. Goldberger stated that this is just a form and that he and Mr. Steinman will review the
Letter to assure that the Village is named beneficiary. Mr. Tiekert asked if the Board is aware that there is a
Zoning Board appeal presently on this project. He suggests that the Board wait to approve this; it is Pine Street
on steroids as far as bad planning.

J. Resolution Authorizing the Re-establishment of a Coordinator or Computer Services Position
Mr. Stuart Tiekert appeared again. He thanked the Board for doing this as we spend an incredible
amount of money in IT support. He asked if there will be a reduction in the IT services being paid. It was
explained to Mr. Tiekert that the amount being paid for IT support would be the same; however, we would
have more than twice the coverage and that the cost is being moved from IT services to payroll.
RESOLUTION RE:
RE-ESTABLISHING A COORDINATOR OF COMPUTER SERVICES POSITION
WHEREAS, for many years, the Village had a full-time IT professional providing on-site support as well
as capital planning for replacement of systems and network support with contracted for off-site after-hours

WHEREAS, when the incumbent in that position retired in 2008, the Village migrated towards part-
time on-site support with contracted after-hours and weekend off-site support; and
WHEREAS, while the Village is satisfied with the support we get from our IT vendor, it has been our
experience that the limited on-site support (16 hours per week) is not adequate to meet the Village’s needs as
this individual is expected to maintain IT infrastructure at thirteen (13) facilities, 150+ PC and laptops, ten (10)
servers, as well as support multiple department specific software packages; and
WHEREAS, to meet the increasing technology needs faced by the Village, in preparing the Fiscal Year
2015/16 General Fund Budget, monies were included to potentially fund the creation of a full time position for a
Coordinator of Computer Services; and
WHEREAS, after reviewing this matter with the Board of Trustees, it is recommended that a full time
position of Coordinator of Computer Services position be created in order to provide the appropriate level of IT
support needed for the Village.
On motion of Mayor Rosenblum, seconded by Trustee Potok:
RESOLVED, that the Village Board of Trustees herein authorizes the creation of a new Full Time
Equivalent position of Coordinator of Computer Services; and be it further
RESOLVED, that in order to fund this position, the Budget Officer is herein authorized to make the
following transfers:

5. COMMUNICATION TO THE BOARD II
Mr. Tiekert appeared again regarding Mr. Sousa’s letter, read by the Mayor at the beginning of the
meeting. He is not sure of Mr. Sousa’s interactions with his neighbors, but what Trustee Finch did was at his
prodding. He suggests that the Building Inspector missed an encroachment on the north gate that is what
Trustee Finch was looking at. He suggests that the Village Engineer and Building Inspector allow the
contractor to put the cultecs at grade. He suggests that the garage was demolished without a permit and
construction started without inspections. He understands that Mr. Sousa is a friend of the Mayor’s. Mr. Sousa
BOT 09/16/2015 p. 16 has been allowed to run amuck. It is a mess. He also believes that website is not a good resource for
contractors to get bids and contracts. He believes that Grove Street with have the same problems as Pine
Street and $162,000 may not cover it. He also believes that this is a mistake and works only to the contractor’s
benefit. Mr. Tiekert stated that at a recent meeting, it was agreed that we were going to get as built plans of
Jefferson Avenue Bridge. It is his understanding that this is not happening. Lastly he asked why the MTA has
postponed the renovation of the train bridge. Mr. Tiekert was told to contact MTA as it is not the Village’s
project and they do not answer to us. Finally, Mr. Tiekert believes that Mayor Rosenblum and Trustee Santoro
reported many untruths at their first foray into television for the upcoming election. He hopes that they will
correct these.

Pleasant Ave., Mamaroneck, NY 10543 PRESENT: Committee: Kristen Carpenter, Martin Hain, Joan Heilman, Phil Horner, Marc Karell (Co-Chair), Maria Karsou, Monica Pfeiffer-Barach (Co-Chair). Richard Slingerland, Village Manager, Dan Sarnoff, Assistant Village Manager, Greg Cutler, Assistant Planner, David Finch, Liaison to BOT, Hugh Graecan, Engineer. ABSENT: Laura Holbrook, Shonna Keogan, Sarah Richards Minutes of May 2015 meeting approved. 1. New Water Quality Reporting Form. Greg introduced a new reporting form to automatically report an alleged water incident to the Village Administration. It can be used through a smart phone and allows uploading of photos. It is still in beta form, and being tweaked. 96.56.82.68 8081/geoform 2. Enforcement of Environmental Rules. Village of Mamaroneck Police Sgt. Sandra DiRuzza spoke about the role of Village Police in enforcing existing environmental rules. Re: plastic bag ban: the Police does not go door to door checking on merchants, but will respond to citizen complaints and coordinates visits with the Building Dept. Re: idling: the police is aware of the limitation and looks for idling candidates in the downtown area and near schools at pick up times. Re: leaf blower ban: the police are aware that leaf blowers are currently banned. They will issue warnings or summonses during routine patrols, if observed. They will respond to citizen complaints; however, by the time a patrol car gets to address, the landscaper usually has finished using the leaf blower (just to move a small amount of loose clippings). Summonses are issued to the owner and landscaper when information is available. Sgt. DiRuzza was asked how many summonses have been issued for violations of these rules. The only one she was aware of was 13 summonses for leaf blowing law violations, 10 from routine patrols. 3. Warren Avenue Playground Surface. A new playground surface is needed in this park. Wood chips and rubber mulch was considered, but they could float away in a heavy storm, and need frequent replenishment. The Village Administration received information and bids and is considering a knitted rubber artificial turf surface. It is durable and will not wash away. It is soft and bouncy, which will reduce the safety risk of children at play. The environmental issue is whether this surface represents an impermeable surface or not. The Village is trying to maintain, if not expand, the amount of permeable surface to reduce flood risks. One vendor, No Fault Sport Group submitted a bid for a rubber knitted surface which allows water to infiltrate through to the gravel bottom. In its literature was a summary of test results done by a certified laboratory, showing that flow time of water representing a heavy rain flow was rapid (in seconds). The testing followed ASTM F1551-09, Part 6 (Water Permeability).

Gina von Eiff (Citizen) asked whether bacteria, mersa, or staph might grow on this proposed rubber surface, and whether this may constitute a health risk for children. Dan Sarnoff did not know, but will check with the vendor. Hugh Graecan stated that in his experience any exposure to the sun for more than a day or two would inactivate any bacteria or virus. Stuart Tiekert (Citizen) asked whether FIBAR, an engineered wood fiber which claims to be 100% permeable, would be equal or superior to the proposed knitted rubber surface. Dan Sarnoff said he would look into the feasibility and cost of FIBAR. 4. Water Quality Issues. a. EPA Consent Order. Rich Slingerland said that the draft update letter was with ARCADIS for comments and would be sent to the USEPA by the end of this week. b. MS-4 Report and Resolution. The Committee issued a resolution to the Board of Trustees on July 6, stating: “Due to both inexact as well as inaccurate reporting of enforcement activity, the CFTE cannot give approval to the current MS4 report as was submitted. We urge that the Village improve both its process to gather data for the report throughout the year, as well as its process for distribution, review and comment of the report to allow for greater transparency and public involvement, as dictated by law. In particular, we ask that the Village Manager’s office prepare and submit an enumerated plan for improving the process to ensure proper recordkeeping, improve the preparation and review process, and produce a better quality report in the future.” The resolution was presented by Phil Horner at a Board of Trustees meeting on July 13, and discussed. The 2015 MS-4 Report will not be re-written and re-submitted to correct for errors. However, the Village Administration will make changes going forward to better ensure that the report, which must be certified to New York State, be more accurate and allow more time for public comment. The new Village Engineer will take responsibility for data gathering and report writing. A draft report will be posted earlier in the process for public comment. c. Documentation. An issue that has been discussed at a number of committee meetings is the status of documentation. The Village Administration has claimed that a number of routine inspections have been made, but not recorded because no violation was found. It was acknowledged that this is not the proper procedure; an inspection that is not recorded is not an inspection at all. The Village Building Dept must do a better job of tracking its inspections, summonses issued, etc. The Village uses Municity, a commonly-used software. With the turnover in the Building Dept it is thought that not everybody is fully trained or comfortable with the program. Building Inspectors are given tablets which makes it easy to take and upload pictures, and type in observations from inspections, with all the data sent to the Municity database. Building Inspectors will be trained to use Municity and told that they must record all inspections and actions. This effort will also help save time and improve the accuracy of future MS-4 reports.

d. LWRP. The draft LWRP was submitted to the Mayor and Board of Trustees. It is currently being reviewed by the HCZM and by experts. We are awaiting their comments. The Board of Trustees has not voted on the report yet. e. Mamaroneck River. Ms. Gina von Eiff expressed concern about items she sees in the Mamaroneck River. She said that she contacted the NYSDEC about it, although she did not give details about whether they came and did an in-person inspection. Village Administration asked ARCADIS to take samples and perform appropriate analyses. Ms. Von Eiff was concerned that children swim in the water and people fish there and eat the fish. It was suggested that perhaps warning signs be made and posted in Columbus Park and other areas of access. Ms. von Eiff also expressed concern that contamination of the Mamaroneck River may be occurring in other towns that feed into it, such as White Plains. Rich Slingerland stated that they do not have the jurisdiction to issue summonses to those in other municipalities observed to contaminate the river upstream. It was suggested that the NYSDEC and the Westchester County Dept of Health be contacted to discuss their enforcement of such issues. 5. Street Light Upgrade. The Village Administration has decided to use the existing contract between New Rochelle and Lumen Light to change the Village’s roughly 1,250 street lights to LEDs, which will reduce electricity consumption by over 50%. Lumen Light will perform a preliminary study of the Village’s street lights to determine if there are over- or under-lit areas and what type of fixtures are most appropriate. Then they will propose the appropriate LED street lights. The Village is getting a proposal from Bright Energy Services of White Plains, an experienced energy firm, to oversee the performance of Lumen Light and ensure that the right LED lights are installed in the proper orientation to maximize lighting and cost savings. 6. Recyclable Fabrics. A recyclable fabrics box from TransAmerica will be installed at Toy Box on Boston Post Road. The Village Administration does not need to be involved, except for the total annual recyclables (removed from the solid waste stream) being recorded and reported. Joan Heilman suggested that one or more additional recyclable fabric boxes be placed throughout the Village, such as in the Recycling Center. Rich Slingerland will check the feasibility (space constraints) of installing one there. 7. Outreach. The Outreach Sub-committee is finalizing “clean & green” posters to put on the CVS Board downtown. The poster discusses the need for green lawn practices and about the leaf blower ban. It should be ready for posting in 1-2 weeks.

8. Erosion & Sediment Control. Rich Slingerland stated that the Village has only one Building Inspector certified for erosion and sediment control. The engineer Hugh Graecan is certified himself. Rich stated that he expected two other Inspectors in the Building Dept to be certified by October or November. The Building Dept focuses on the weekly report and is planning a new method to more quickly issue a summons for those who don’t submit their weekly reports. As discussed earlier, Building Inspectors will be told to use their tablets to record all information and photos from inspections and drive-bys. 9. Release of Crushed Stone into Sound. Silt was recently videotaped spewing into the harbor near the Sporttime Tennis Bubble during a rainstorm. The Village is designing a fabric filter that will go into catch basins to catch the solids while the water flows through. Hugh Graecan showed the attendees schematics and other information about the fabric filters. Questions were asked if these were of the right pore size and structure to adequately filter out the solids, while not tearing on a routine basis. Hugh felt certain that they are designed properly for the type of solids they will be catching (140 sieve). Plus they will have an overflow mechanism. They are expected to be fabricated and installed in the next few weeks. The fabric filters must be cleaned (solids removed) and inspected for integrity after every rain storm. Sporttime has offered an employee to do this routinely. This was a concern to the Committee about that employee’s reliability. At the least, we felt, some type of formal signed Agreement must be issued to formalize this responsibility with Sporttime and Village employees should check that this is actually performed periodically. 10. Solarize. The Solarize program to encourage residents and businesses to install solar panels to generate electricity ended on June 22. 71 (all residences) have signed contracts in the Village of Mamaroneck, unincorporated Town of Mamaroneck, and Village of Larchmont. This included, by the way, two members of the Committee. This far exceeded the goal of 30-50 such contracts. The Village Administration was thanked for their support of the program. Signs for the program may be taken down at the Village’s convenience. The program is not over as a number of these proposed projects must still get approval from the Village’s Architectural Board. 11. Community Garden. 12 plastic planting beds (4’ x 8’) will be installed at Bub Walker Park this week. 2 55-gallon rain barrels are in place. These barrels will be filled with water by Village personnel when needed. Signees for these spots will be informed of their availability shortly. The Village will also write “Rules” for the signees for using the community garden. Shonna Keogan can prepare a draft press release announcing the garden. 12. Leaf Bagging For This Fall. The Washingtonville neighborhood requested leaf bagging be instituted in the Village or at least in their neighborhood because of their narrow streets and limited space. Loose leaves and piles have been observed to clog storm drains. Therefore, the Village will host a pilot leaf bagging rule for the

Washingtonville area this fall. The Village will give all residents a small number of leaf bags free of charge. The Village will monitor its administration and results to determine if this should be carried on to the entire Village. 13. Marine Education Center. The Village would like the Marine Education Center to thrive. In the long-term, the hope is that it becomes a public-private partnership. It is early, but if this works out, a committee composed of representatives of private boating and conservation concerns and representative of the Village will make decisions about the Center. It was thought that ideally, it would be nice that a member of this Committee serve in such a MEC Committee. It is early, but in the long-term as this comes into place, a request may be made for a member of this Committee to also serve on a future MEC Committee. 14. River Walk Plans. Hugh Graecan showed the Committee plans to revive the River Walk, near Phillips Park Rd., along the Mamaroneck R., up until the Tompkins Ave. Bridge. This is about 400 feet in length. The existing path has been worn away by storms and many overflows of the river, and may be dangerous. Roots will be removed, stones put in place, with a group of large, flat stones on top as the walking surface. The Committee was impressed with the plans. The issue of lighting came up. There are no plans to install lights. The area can be dark at night. Another area of concern expressed was security. Might the River Walk be closed after a certain nighttime hour? How would this be enforced? With a physical fence kept closed or only by a sign? Village Administration will think about these issues. The Committee voted not to have a meeting in August.
