Board of Trustees

BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 13, 2022 PRESENT: Mayor Monachino Lapey Trustee Senerchia Trustee Bennett Trustee Owen-Michaane Trustee Cataldi DeLillo Attorney Cornachio Manager Pierpont PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND FIRE SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT Mayor Monachino Lapey led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance and she notified those in attendance where the fire safety exits were located. ------------ OPENING REMARKS Mayor Monachino Lapey opened the meeting and welcomed everyone. She noted that this is Pride Month and said that she is proud of this Board’s practices of inclusion. She spoke about the Memorial Day parade. Maggie Klein was the Grand Marshal. The Mayor said that it was a meaningful ceremony and said that was why we live in a community like Pelham. Trustee Bennett said that it was a beautiful day. The Mayor asked Manager Pierpont to speak about Sustainable Westchester’s power program. Manager Pierpont said that we have been following this. Sustainable Westchester had a multi- year contract for electricity. That contract ends at the end of this month. At that time all the customers will be re-enrolled in Con Edison. They will look at this program, with guaranteed prices, in the Fall. The Mayor said that over two inches of rain fell and some reports said that there was between two and four inches of rain She and her colleagues were in the field. She asked the Deputy Mayor, who is also the DPW Commissioner and an engineer, to speak about the highlights of our program. Deputy Mayor and DPW Commissioner Cataldi DeLillo thanked the Village Manager and her colleagues for working on the statement which will be available tomorrow. She said that she sees the suffering and she is very sorry. A copy of her statement on the Village’s collection systems is listed below. An Overview of Pelham Manor’s Stormwater and Sanitary Collection Systems. One of Pelham Manor’s less visible services include maintenance and operation of its stormwater and sanitary collection systems. Some municipalities have one system (or a “combined system”) for both of these wastewater flows. Pelham Manor has two separate systems, one system for stormwater collection and one system for sanitary flow collection. These less visible services become visible only when their respective systems are overwhelmed. During these rare times, their importance to everyday life become painfully evident. The Village works diligently to ensure that the systems are operated and maintained in a way that allows them to operate efficiently and as they were designed to do. This document is intended to provide an overview of these services and shouldn’t be considered a comprehensive report. If you would like additional 1 details or information, we encourage you to call Village Hall at 914/738-8820 or visit us at pelhammanor.org. An explanation of each of our collections systems is found below. Stormwater Collection System: To ensure our storm water collection system operates efficiently and as designed, the Village maintains and operates its system under established Standard Operating Procedures (or “SOPs”) and Best Management Practices (or “BMPs”). These SOPs and BMPs include annual activities (street sweeping; televising and smoke testing of our drainage pipes; and comprehensive cleaning, inspection and repair of our catch basins) as well as targeted pre-storm activities. Annually, the Village engages an outside contractor to clean, inspect and repair our catch basins. These contractors have access to very large, specialized machinery. You may have seen them at your corner with very large hoses. These hoses are vacuuming the detention pit or “sump” at the bottom of each catch basin. These sumps are designed to provide stormwater treatment during low intensity rain events. During a low intensity rain event, stormwater enters the catch basin and heavier material (sand, grit and other items) will sink to the bottom of the sump while floatables (empty bottles, bags and other lighter than water items) remain at the top. It is normal to see water at the bottom of a catch basin when you look in from the street level. Once a year, the material that has settled to the bottom of the sump is vacuumed out and disposed of. Vacuuming the material out prevents it from entering the stormwater pipe. The Village does this so as to optimize the efficiency of our collection system and to keep unwanted material from entering our waterbodies. During this annual work, the catch basins are also inspected and, where necessary, repaired. This ensures that they are available for use during the year ahead. Our in-house DPW team performs targeted, pre-storm cleaning. This cleaning targets the grates at street level. These grates are the perforated, metal plates at street level that are part of the roadway surface. Our DPW crews clean off the top of the catch basin grates (where debris such as leaves and papers and other materials collect) and perform a visual inspection of the sump and the drainage pipe within the sump. They will report any outstanding issues that may need more attention and, when necessary, our outside vendor will be reengaged. Annual and pre-storm activities ensure that the stormwater collection system operates efficiently and according to its basis of design. The Village is dedicated to continuous improvement in all of our services. This includes our underground infrastructure. Like the rest of the world, we are managing through shifting weather patterns. We take these shifts seriously and are committed to take all actions that are within our control. To that end, following Ida, the Village assessed those areas that experienced sustained flooding during the Ida event. The root cause for the sustained flooding was identified and appropriate actions were initiated to address the level of service. Some of the actions are shorter term and others (due to their nature) will take longer to implement. In all cases, the Village has already earmarked funding for the actions and is committed to their thoughtful implementation. This includes continued participation in the FEMA Flood Hazard Mitigation Grant program that reimburses us 90% of our capital expenditures. That reimbursement will be reinvested in further upgrades to our storm water collection system. Actions taken after Ida have included: o Retained the services of a design engineer to review current drainage abilities and develop designs for construction of increased drainage capacities. These designs will be bid out and the money for construction has already been earmarked. Some project examples are: o Witherbee and Highbrook Ave Storm Drain Upgrade and Repairs 2  ▪ Install new catch basins, storm drains, curbing and culvert and manholes. ▪ Est Cost $1,700,000 Federal Share 90% / Village Share 10% ▪ Project Start will be 2 quarter of 2023 nd o Washington, Oak and Hunter New Storm Drain and Catch Basin Replacement. ▪ $200,000 ▪ Start August/September 2022 o Roosevelt and Bolton area has had an engineer engaged so that possible opportunities can be explored. o Since our Village does not always control the outfall point of our collection system, we have leveraged our relationships with those entities that do. For example, we have been working with our friends at the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) and the New York City Parks Department (NYC Parks). Investing Village dollars in larger infrastructure is not always the answer. For example, increasing the size of piping on our streets will be of little value if the ultimate point of outfall is constricted. We have been successful in having the NYSTA clean their existing infrastructure and are currently coordinating with them in their application for a $25 million U.S. Department of Transportation Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant to rehabilitate a section of the New England Thruway (I-95) that runs through Westchester County, including the section that passes through Pelham Manor. This work will result in significant thruway improvement and the Village is working with NYSTA to ensure they include stormwater improvements that benefit our drainage system. Actions taken since 2012 have included (note that construction work typically includes both sanitary and stormwater work and so some of these examples include both stormwater and sanitary system improvements). • Grant & Monroe Upgrades (completed in 2003) o Installation of a bypass system on Grant & Monroe to increase capacity of drainage o $78,475 • Heywood Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drain Improvements o 270 feet of pipe replacement o Total cost $181,962 • Wynnewood Sewer & Drain Point Repairs o $26,784 • Highbrook Sewer & Drain Point Repairs o $28,321 • West Street Sewer Replacement o $30,040 • Esplanade & Wolf Lane Drain Repair o $5,607 • Reed Ave o 725 feet of Sanitary Sewer o 820 feet of storm drain o $790,000 Sanitary Collection System: Since the Village has separate sewer systems, we also have a program for our Sanitary Collection System. While similar in some ways to the Stormwater Collection System Program, this program is separate and apart from it. The Village ensures our sanitary collection system operates efficiently and as designed by applying its own set of SOPs and BMPs. 3 These SOPs and BMPs include cleaning and televising approximately 20% of the sanitary system every year. This results in televising and cleaning of every linear foot of pipe once every five years. The information collected during televising is assessed utilizing the internationally recognized “Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program” (or PACP). This program was established by NASSCO and is recognized as the utility standard for assigning a State of Good Repair (SOGR) score to sections of piping. Each PACP score assigns a targeted timeline for when repairs or replacements must occur. This is a very useful tool in identifying and prioritizing necessary work and aids the Village in developing its very successful SOGR capital plan. In order to optimize Village dollars. The Village has participated in various grant programs. Consequently, 40% of all sanitary sewer work performed since 2017 ($900,000) will be reimbursed through grant funding programs. In addition, and also utilizing grant funding, the Village will be spending almost $700,000 in sanitary sewer improvements in calendar years 2022 and 2023. The Mayor thanked Deputy Mayor and DPW Commissioner DeLillo. Manager Pierpont said that on June 2, 2022 the Village had intense weather with flash floods and torrential rain and street flooding. He said that we have worked with Assemblywoman Paulin along with Alex Betke as well as the Thruway Authority. Drainage ditches were silted and the Thruway Authority cleaned them. The Village is continuing to work with New York City on some Bronx areas. Congressman Bowman has offered to set up a meeting and Senator Biaggi will work with the City of New York. . ----------- MINUTES FROM THE APRIL 25, 2022 REGULAR MEETING AND THE MAY 9, 2022 PUBLIC HEARING The Mayor asked if there were any questions, comments or corrections on the minutes Trustee Cataldi DeLillo said that she was in attendance on May 9, 2022. On page two of the May 9, 2022 Public Hearing she said that the sanitary and storm systems are different. She also said that one fifth, or twenty per cent, of the sanitary system is re- cleaned and televised every year. Trustee Senerchia said that on page two of the April 25, 2022 minutes in the last paragraph, in the first sentence, the dollar amount should be corrected to read seventy thousand one hundred ninety dollars. It was a clerical error. After discussion and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that the minutes from the April 25, 2022 Regular Meeting and the May 9, 2022 Public Hearing be and hereby are approved as amended. ----------- REPORTS Police Commissioner Bennett discussed the monthly report with Chief Atkins. She said that there were four hundred thirteen incidents which is down from April. The Chief said that larcenies increased. There were twenty in total and twelve were at businesses. He said that women have been having their purses picked. He suggested that keep their purses zipped and know where their belongings are at all times. There were no larcenies from cars and no stolen vehicles. He said that hopefully people are locking their cars and taking their keys. The Police Commissioner spoke about the 47th Precinct and noise and music complaints. The Chief said that when we get complaints, we call the Bronx precinct. There were seven complaints about gas powered leaf blowers for the month of May. The Chief said that sometimes the noise is not from a leaf blower. It might be from a grass trimmer. 4 There were twenty vehicles that were impounded because they did not have proper registration or insurance. The Board thanked the Chief for his report. -------------------. The DPW Superintendent said that this ends the Fiscal Year for these reports. He said that seven thousand eight hundred fifty tons, sixty eight percent, were diverted from the waste stream. Two thousand four hundred tons were converted to energy. It went to RESCO and was converted to electricity. He said that safety signs were installed and catch basin cleaning has started. ----------- The Village Clerk said that seventy- two Notices of Violation were sent. They were mostly for grass clipping s being out earlier than allowed. They should not be out before seven o’clock in the evening on Sunday for Monday’s collection or seven o’clock in the evening on Monday for Tuesday’s collection. After discussion and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Police, DPW and Village Clerk reports be and hereby are approved. ----------- PROCLAMATION FOR EAGLE SCOUT RYAN JOSEPH BYRNES The Mayor said that Ryan was a year behind her daughter in school. She spoke about his outstanding character and read the following proclamation. WHEREAS, Ryan Joseph Byrnes as a member of Troop 1 Pelham, part of the Greater Hudson Valley Council, completed the requirements and been found worthy of the rank of Eagle Scout, and WHEREAS, Ryan Joseph Byrnes has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, which is the highest honor in the scouting program, and WHEREAS, Ryan Joseph Byrnes spearheaded and coordinated a project that involved planting ninety Ninebark shrubs, donated by the Pelham Preservation & Garden Society, as a green space barrier between the Hutchinson River Parkway and the Glover Sports Complex in an effort to reduce the noise heard from the Parkway, and WHEREAS, Ryan Joseph Byrnes completed this project in which he successfully collaborated with and led a team of people from various community groups to accomplish this environmental improvement to the local area NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham Manor hereby recognize Pelham Manor resident Ryan Joseph Byrnes and extend to him on behalf of ourselves and the citizens of the Village of Pelham Manor congratulations for having attained the rank of Eagle Scout and be it further RESOLVED, that a copy of this Proclamation be presented to Ryan Joseph Byrnes. The Mayor said that he has shown outstanding character, is committed to the environment and causes bigger than himself. His project was to reduce noise and increase oxygen. She said the work he did benefitted the community. Trustee Bennett congratulated him. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo congratulated him and thanked him for his hard work. 5 Trustee Senerchia wished him luck in the future. Trustee Owen-Michaane knows that his work and dedication will pay off. He said that it is a special recognition. All in attendance congratulated Ryan Joseph Byrnes ---------------- ADMINISTER OATH OF OFFICE TO POLICE OFFICER FRANCIS J. POMPILIO, JR. Mayor Monachino Lapey said that Frank Pompilio is thirty-nine years old and currently lives in Elmsford, New York. He began his law enforcement career in 2005 as a part time Deputy Sheriff with the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office. In 2018 he was hired as a Police Officer with the City of Mount Vernon Police Department. He transferred to the Village of Pelham Manor Police Department in May 2021. Over the last year, Frank’s experience and work ethic have enhanced the professionalism and competency that already exists within the Police Department. The Mayor administered the Oath of Office to Police Officer Francis J. Pompilio, Jr. All in attendance congratulated Police Officer Frances J. Pompilio, Jr. ------------- RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPOINTMENT OF MICHAEL GRECO AS FIRE CHIEF The Mayor explained that the Village Manager appoints all employees, but there are three positions that the Board of Trustees must approve. The three positions are Police Chief, Fire Chief and Superintendent of Public Works. Tonight the Board is approving the appointment of Michael Greco as Fire Chief. He will be sworn in at the next Board meeting. John Pierpont said that he appointed Michael Greco to the position of Fire Fighter. He said that he is committed to the department and the fire service. He has the leadership skills to be successful as well as the skills of competence and capability. Trustee Senerchia said that he couldn’t speak more highly of him. He said that he is committed to the community. He spoke about his work on the radio transition as well as the toy collection for the holidays. He said that be believes this is a good fit. Trustee Owen-Michaane said that he knew Michael Greco from working with the cub scouts. He said that he’s always very responsive and this is a great addition. After discussion and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby approves the appointment of Michael Greco as Fire Chief. ------------- REQUEST FROM RUBEN RODRIQUEZ MEMBER OF VILLAGE OF PELHAM COUNCIL ON THE ARTS REGARDING CONTRIBUTION Ruben Rodriquez, member from the Council on the Arts, gave an update on the calendar of events and asked for a three hundred dollar contribution toward the production and printing costs. Trustee Senerchia asked if they were a unit of government under the Village of Pelham and asked if they had a budget. Mr. Rodriguez said yes, but he wasn’t sure of the amount of the budget. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo asked when the first event was and was told June Tenth. The second event is June 19th in Wolfs Lane Park. She said that a certain part of our Town taxes fund things 6 like this. Trustee Bennett said that it wasn’t a lot of money and could be a very valuable guide. The Mayor said that the Village does not sponsor programs such as the fireworks at Shore Park on the Fourth of July. She said that she would like to follow up with Ms. Robb and Administrator Scelza. ------------ RESOLUTION TO AWARD WORK FOR THE PELLHAM MANOR VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY QUARTERS CEILING REPAIR The Village received one bid in the amount of three thousand five hundred dollars from Breton Contracting LLC for this work. Mayor Monachino Lapey spoke about the need for volunteers and said that they are a well-trained team. After discussion and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that Breton Contracting LLC be and hereby is awarded the work for the Pelham Manor Volunteer Fire Company Quarters ceiling repair at a cost of three thousand five hundred dollars. -------------- RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO SIGN EXTENSION OF A PARKING SPECIAL PERMIT FOR PELHAM MANOR PARKING Pelham Manor Parking would like to extend its special permit with the Village. They use the space between Secor Lane and Canal Road. The revenue from the permit is two hundred thousand dollars per year. The extension will bring an additional three percent a year for each year. This is good non property tax revenue for the Village. After discussion and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Village Manager be and hereby is authorized to sign an extension of a Parking Special Permit for Pelham Manor Parking. ------------- STREET CLOSING REQUEST FROM MICHAEL DOMENICI FOR A BLOCK PARK Michael Domenici, 129 Secor Lane, requested that Timpson Street from Secor Lane to 694 Timpson Street be closed for a block party on Saturday, June 25, 2022 from four o’clock in the afternoon until eleven o’clock in the evening.

James Tolan, 144 Manor Lane, said that certain residents are disproportionately affected by flooding. He said that they are getting water from other parts of the community. He spoke about sewage from Ida. He said that he is not at the bottom of the hill but is still getting all the water from Esplanade, down Hazen to Pelhamdale. He thought that there should be a storm drain on Hazen. Manager Pierpont said that he has talked with Mr. Tolan about this and is looking at it and evaluating it. He said that at the foot of Washington Avenue and Oak Lane there is a large volume of water and the basin cannot accommodate it. Benjamin Midberry, 127 Manor Lane, is a new resident. He spoke about collecting information on homes that were flooded during Ida and the June Second storm. He wanted to know what was done before and after Ida. Manager Pierpont said there were lists of people who called and asked for help. The Fire Department and Police Department have lists of where they went. He said the system has a design capacity. The question is whether the system is working to its design capacity. There may be design issues that can be reviewed. The Village has coordinated with outside agencies. He said the system runs by gravity. Manager Pierpont said that it takes a lot of design to make the system work. There will be a follow up with a comprehensive engineering report. The Mayor said that we have a list after Ida. She said that we flagged this to our elected officials especially Congressman Bowman who visited flooded areas with us. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo said that we are looking to see root causes. She said that we know the areas that flood and where there is more isolated flooding. The Manager said that we need to understand storms like Ida. He said that we won’t be able to say that we won’t have flooding anymore. He spoke about the Hutchinson River Parkway and said that we can’t say that it won’t happen again. Mr. Midberry spoke about development in Pelham Manor as a possible cause for flooding and the Village Manager said that he thought it was aging infrastructure and that the curbs are too high. He didn’t think it was development. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo spoke about shifting weather patterns. Weather is shifting throughout the world. She spoke about areas that have had problems in the past as well as some areas that have never had problems. She said that the Village is looking at all areas. Mayor Monachino Lapey spoke about increased hardscape, development, regional planning and shifting weather patterns. She said that Highbrook has a very high water table. She said that we are going to do what is within our control. 8 Trustee Bennett said that we need to get answers from the engineers. Drainage on May 28th and June 2nd was discussed. People from Bolton Road wanted to know why this happened. Trustee Owen-Michaane said that we’ve done a lot. We’ve worked with State elected officials, and representatives from the New York State Thruway Authority. He said that weather is an issue. He said that we wished we had all the answers. The Village has spent several million dollars and we’re doing a lot. He said that we’re going to get resources and grants. Ben Midberry asked about someone to the point person and was told that the Village Manager is the person to contact. Manager Pierpont said that when the engineering work is done we will want to know how much can we prevent in the hardest hit areas. The analysis will be based on hydraulic information. We will televise these pipes based on data to determine the frequency of flooding. He said that we have a record of how many homes get flooded. He said that seventy homes were flooded. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo said that the Fire Department will respond and pump out basements. The Manager said that there should be some coordination between neighborhoods and flooding. Trustee Senerchia spoke about living in another Village where his house was flooded three times. He said that his home was at a low point and nothing got done. He said that this Village is going to keep up remediation. Trustee Owen-Michaane said that all services are provided equally. Dennis Lee, 435 Highbrook, spoke about transparency and accountability. Mayor Monachino Lapey said that she was out on Friday night. She said that she is very accessible. She left her day job to out and was there within fifteen minutes. Mr. Lee said that he really appreciated that. Trustee Bennett said that the Board knows what people have gone through after Ida and last week. She said that we visited basements after Ida. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo spoke about the map and said you can see whether something is being done for you or not being done for you. Mr. Lee spoke about a log and how the issues and projects are being prioritized. Trustee Senerchia asked if he was concerned that the Board wasn’t going to share information. He wanted to know if the concern was that the Board was going to get information and not share it. Mr. Lee said that he wants to understand what you know. Amy Platt, 434 Pelhamdale Avenue said that she’s been flooded three times. She had six inches of water and has a sump pump. She said that standard operating procedures and best management practices are not working and need to be updated. The Mayor said that the Village has some low lying areas and she recommended that Ms. Platt sit down with the Village Manager. Brendan McCormick, 1314 Bolton Rod, said that he sent a letter last week and documented damage during Ida and the failure during May 28th and June 2nd. He said that it was significant flooding and they need it to stop. He wanted to know when the engineers report will be delivered. The Village Manager said that AI Engineers, which is a large engineering firm, bought Dolph 9 Rotfeld Engineering which has an extensive civil engineering background. The Mayor said that we have asked them to look at Roosevelt and Bolton. The Village Manager said that it was an intense storm with severe thunderstorms and wind gusts. There was torrential rainfall and flash flooding in the Village of Pelham Manor. He said that it is hard to engineer for that. He said that we’re going to be open about that and the projects that are proposed. He said that these are things that we’ve been talking about for some time. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo said that we’re in alignment on where the problems are and additional areas. She said that the root cause of the issue will be different for each area. She said that you can’t say that you will never have a flood again. It would be irresponsible to say that. Brendan McCormick said that he is looking for an action plan. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo said that is a reasonable response Ben Argygle, 440 Pelhamdale Avenue, asked about the scope. He asked what the engineers are looking at. The Village Manager said that we’ve asked the Engineers for a comprehensive report. It will include how the system is connected, slope, diameter, data and culverts. He gave the example of storm retention at Pelham County Club goes to Mount Tom where it floods. If that were being built now, there would be retention ponds. He said that we’re looking to see if there are areas for retention. He said that BJ’s has vaults underground. That will also be looked at. The Engineers will take a holistic approach. Trustee Cataldi DeLillo said that her statement will be available tomorrow. Alexy Scholl, 1076 Grant Avenue, said that Erica Winter has a Facebook group and has collected comments and questions about the sanitary and storm drain systems, cleaning catch basins, outfalls, and long- term plans. It is a long list. She said that we appreciate all you’re doing. People want to help where we can. She spoke about finding grants, a sustainability board, and having I-95 cleaned out. She was told that Senator Biaggi is working on issues with New York City. The Thruway Authority is committed to more frequent cleaning at the basin at the end of Monroe Street. The Manager said that there is no storm drain system on Park Drive and nothing is connected to our system. Evan Jordan, 1324 Roosevelt, said that his family mitigated on their own. They are not on any lists. There is ponding on roads. He said that his garage floods. The water has no place to go. Manager Pierpont said that the Village is doing some work there. We are looking at reducing volume. Lawrence Mele, 131 Manor Lane, said that Village Manager came within an hour of our call and looked at all our catch basins. He said that now we’re overflowing. They were totally overwhelmed. They need to know where the water is going. --------------- EXECUTIVE SESSION The Mayor said that there were issues regarding an employment matter and a legal matter. After discussion and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously 10  RESOLVED, that the Board be and hereby is authorized to conduct an Executive Session to discuss the following: Personnel Matter – Collective Bargaining No action was taken in Executive Session. -------------- ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned. -------------- Clerk 11
