He said there is a list of about six or seven bidders who may be interested in presenting a proposal. The Mayor commented on the windstorms Pelham experienced. He said the Village Departments all worked hard to ensure Pelham was kept clean and functioning despite the weather. In other news, the Mayor commented on Metro-North’s M8 trains and their recent introduction to the New Haven Line. Trustees Reports: Trustee Breskin- Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 3 Trustee Breskin stated the Pelham Chess Program attended the State Tournament in Saratoga, New York. He said the third grade took second in the tournament and the sixth grade took third. He said this was a landmark moment for Pelham in that the club distinguished itself amongst many other recurring chess programs including Bronxville and several other of the New York City private schools. Trustee Bullock- None Trustee Lewis- None Trustee Marty- None Trustee Mohan- None Trustee Morris- None Village Administrator’s Report- Village Administrator Yamuder stated the Village recently underwent the annual MS4 stormwater audit and passed with the highest rating possible. Mr. Yamuder thanked the Village staff and departments for their efforts in getting all the elements together for a seamless presentation. Mr. Yamuder reported Fire Chief Stone is going to be sending out a pamphlet for residents and business owners to serve as a survey for the Pelham Fire Department. The Chief hopes to gain comments from the community about the services the department provides. Item #6– Public Comment- Mr. Tillis Roberts asked the Board about his position as a Town crossing guard. He said the position is being eliminated as full-time and he wanted to know why. Trustee Breskin stated the Board cannot discuss personnel matters in public forum. Mayor Hotchkiss stated Mr. Roberts should set up a meeting with the Board to discuss the matter further. Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 4 Item #7–Site Plan Application by Loughman for 117 Harmon Avenue for a Proposed Pool and Garage David Cooper of the law firm Zarin and Steinmetz spoke for the residents of 117 Harmon Avenue, who are applying for a variance from the Village Board of Trustees to complete a detached garage and a pool on the property. Mr. Cooper stated that the variance is a rarity because the lot is large enough to accommodate both of the structures. Mayor Hotchkiss said he hoped it would not set a precedent for excess buildings on lots in Pelham. Mr. Cooper stated it would be unlikely another lot in Pelham would be large enough to accommodate such structures and still be within all the requirements of the Village Code. A motion was made by Trustee Marty and seconded by Trustee Breskin to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Lewis was absent. Trustee Breskin also suggested that the Mayor and Trustee Marty should discuss the approval process with the Loughmans as parrot of their review of that process, as the Loughmans have had a long and difficult time getting the pool approved.

She recalled the Board was favorable to the decision to change the day of the Market when the topic was previously discussed at a Board meeting. She said Miriam Haas of Community Markets attended a meeting of the Pelham Chamber of Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 6 Commerce and discussed this issue with the members. She reported a favorable response from them, most notably John DeCicco Jr., the President of the Chamber. Mayor Hotchkiss said he wanted to speak with Mr. DeCicco since his business would be the most directly affected by any change in the schedule. Ms. Rowland stated Ms. Haas had already spoken to Mr. DeCicco about this matter. Mayor Hotchkiss stated he wanted to speak to him anyway to confirm his opinion on changing the day. Trustee Morris asked when opening day is scheduled for. Ms. Rowland said opening day is usually around Memorial Day and the Market runs through Thanksgiving. Mayor Hotchkiss suggested making a motion regarding this decision at the next Board meeting. Item #9–Authorizing A Nonbinding Expression Of Interest On Converting Part Or All Of The NYW&B Parcel To A Greenspace) Trustee Marty stated the group, The Friends of the Highbrook Highline, wished to make a presentation to the Board regarding the NYW&B Site. Anne Swanson-Dumas of Highbrook Avenue introduced several speakers from the group to make the presentation. Dr. Roger Weinz gave a brief history of the NYW&B site including the Highbrook Bridge. He said the site has regional influence and this debate is an opportunity to refurbish an asset of Pelham. Emily Friedburg stated the group is hoping to renovate 1.93 acres of property as a passive greenspace. Susan Mutti noted in a Powerpoint presentation that the group has launched a website and had a table at the Pelham Street Fair. She said the group is committed to exploring site options while not creating a tax burden on the community. Ms. Swanson-Dumas commended Susan Seither for her efforts in researching and discussed the three tracks that the group would like to pursue in connection with the Village government: an RFP for the site renovation; authorization of more soil testing by ELM on the greenspace; and further exploration of funding options with a non-binding statement of support from the Village Board. Trustee Marty said this is a good start to the process in which the entire community can become involved. Carol Spondesmond of the Pelham Preservation and Garden Society stated she supported this proposal by the group and would welcome a chance to work with the group and the Village Board on this matter. Neil Gallo of Pell Place had some reservations about designating this area as a greenspace. He said the residents in the area have been excluded from the research and option development process until the last round of committee hearings. He cited police, fire, and parking issues connected with this designation. He stressed that the quality of life would be affected by any designation without considering these issues. Mayor Hotchkiss stated the Board is not making any definitive determinations at this meeting. Any proposal or design would have to go before the land use boards and the Village Board. Trustee Marty added there would be many formal discussions before any decision is made. Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 7 John Cassone commented that this is the closest any committee or group has come to finding an effective solution to this debate. Christian Privat of the Pelham Bike Committee stated the creation of a passive greenspace would help with planning for a possible bike trail running through the site. Trustee Marty presented his resolution to the Board for a non-binding statement of support for the NYW&B Committee. The Board reviewed the resolution and made suggestions to the wording of the resolution. Mrs. Swanson-Dumas stated this resolution will allow the NYW&B Committee to act on the Village’s behalf in making advances towards funding sources. Trustee Morris inquired of project supporters what the role of “The Friends of the Highbrook Highline” would be vis-à-vis the B&W Committee. Trustee Mohan suggested that the chair of the NYW&B Committee should approve who the group chooses to ask for funding to ensure the Village is being properly represented by a member of the Board of Trustees. A motion was made by Trustee Marty and seconded by Trustee Mohan to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Lewis was absent. Resolution Authorizing a Nonbinding Expression of Interest in Converting Part or All of the NYW&B Parcel To A Greenspace WHEREAS the NYW&B Site Committee is reviewing a number of options to address the potential risk to pedestrians and automobile traffic from decay of the former NY, Westchester and Boston (NYW&B ) concrete bridge over Highbrook Ave, and WHEREAS the NYW&B Site Committee is also reviewing a number of options for the greenspace on the eastern portion of the former NYW&B property, and WHEREAS the Committee is actively exploring external, non-village sources of funding for various plans related to making all or part of the NYW&B parcel a greenspace and needs some sign from the Village to potential funders that that the Village is considering these possibilities among the options, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Pelham Village Board of Trustees supports the NYW&B Site Committee, with the approval of the Chair, making expressions of Board interest in examining the conversion of all or part of the former NY, Westchester and Boston (NYW&B) parcel into a publicly-accessible greenspace to public and private grantors, over the next six months or longer if the Board agrees. It being clearly understood, such expression of interest is not binding with regards to the disposition of the parcel. Any decision on final disposition of this Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 8 parcel will be made by the Board of Trustees and any binding commitments can only be made by the Board of Trustees. Item #10–Resolution Authorizing Village Administrator Robert Yamuder to seek bids for the testing of Highbrook Bridge Safety, mitigation plans and projected costs. Trustee Marty stated this resolution is to for the Administrator to actively seek bids for several options regarding the Highbrook Avenue Bridge. The resolution was revised at the meeting to state that proposals would be sought, “as soon as practicable.” A motion was made by Trustee Marty and seconded by Trustee Breskin to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Lewis was absent. Resolution Authorizing Village Administrator to Seek Bids for the Examination of Safety Issues Surrounding the NYW&B Bridge and Mitigation Efforts Whereas the NYW&B Site Committee is reviewing a number of options to address the potential risk to pedestrians and automobile traffic from decay of the former NY, Westchester, and Boston concrete bridge over Highbrook Avenue Be it resolved that the Pelham Village Administrator seek proposals as soon as practicable for a study of the potential risks posed by the bridge's deterioration, plans for mitigating those risks, and cost estimates. Item #11–Public Hearing that Amends the Village Code to Provide for the Licensing and Identification of Dogs and to Amend the Existing Dog Control Law Mayor Hotchkiss said this resolution is for scheduling a public hearing regarding the Village assuming the responsibility for dog licensing. He said previously the State of New York had this responsibility but is now transferring it to the municipalities. The Mayor said the options are for the Village to assume this task or, as Trustee Mohan interpreted the law it is allow able to have the Town of Pelham assume the job. Trustee Breskin said it would be best to let the Town handle the licensing due to the amount of work the Village Staff already have to contend with and the Town is already handling most of the licensing issues for the residents. Administrator Yamuder stated the Village Clerk has already kept a running list of the dog licenses and has a tracking system in place to maintain a current record of dogs and their owners in the Village. Additionally, the Village would receive some incoming revenue from the licensing fees. Mayor Hotchkiss stated he wanted to speak to the Town and see how Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 9 they felt about assuming the responsibility. The Mayor asked if there were any comments from the public on this matter. There were no comments. The Mayor suggested that the Board close the public hearing. A motion was made by Trustee Breskin and seconded by Trustee Morris to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Lewis was absent.

VILLAGE OF PELHAM, NY Public Hearing Regarding Recognition of Hillside and Brookside Avenues as Public Streets Public Hearing Pursuant To The Provisions Of Village Law §6-612 And Village Law §7-732 In Regard To The Recognition Of Brookside Avenue From Wolfs Lane To Its Terminus At The Hutchinson River And Hillside Avenue From Carol Avenue To Its Terminus At The Hutchinson River As Public Streets In The Village Of Pelham.

Once he incorporates any comments from Board members the draft will be sent to counsel for further review. Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 12 Item #19– Tree Committee Trustee Bullock stated the Urban Forestry Grant has been submitted to the granting authority by members of the Tree Committee. Item #20– Park Improvements Mayor Hotchkiss stated the Board must decide how to proceed with the plans for Wolfs Lane Park. Wolfs Lane Park is the subject of a grant award from Senator Klein’s office for $647,000. There are several phases to the overall improvement of the park but the grant was awarded specifically for Phases 1 (Bike Path) and 2 (Organic Buffer along Nyac Avenue) of the project. The Board wished to reallocate those funds for Phase 3 of the project, or the Village Green and Memorial Corner. He said initial sketches have been done for this particular section. Trustee Mohan said it would be hard to plan of a bike path which would stretch across the park when a certain section has already been renovated. The resulting construction of the path may disrupt the Village Green if it is completed first. Mayor Hotchkiss said the Board and Administrator would be in contact with Hank White, the landscape architect, to discuss the logistics of completing this portion of the project before installing the bike path. He said this decision does not mean that a bike path is of less importance to the overall plan for the Park, only that the these plans are further along for the Memorial Green than for the bike path. Trustee Breskin stated it made sense to pursue this phase of the project. A motion was made by Trustee Breskin and seconded by Trustee Morris to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of five in favor, Trustee Mohan was opposed. Trustee Lewis was absent. Item #21– Development (including 3rd Street RFP) Trustee Breskin reported that he had spoken to two potential developers about the RFP. He said there will be a pre-proposal meeting at Village Hall on Tuesday, April 5, 2011, for potential bidders to ask questions and discuss the project. He said the bid opening will take place on Friday, April 25, 2011 at 11:00 am at Village Hall. Item #22– Parking (including FTA Parking Lot project) Administrator Yamuder reported that the DPW Yard project is approximately 70% complete; on budget and on schedule. He says he hopes for a opening in early May. Item #23– Other Reports None Item #24– Other Business Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday March 1, 2011 Page 13 Administrator Yamuder asked the Board about a budget line for flower pots to be placed on lamp posts along Wolfs Lane and Fifth Avenue. He said the cost is approximately $3,000 to purchase the flowers and place them along the road. He suggested in an effort to save money this tough fiscal year, the Village could forego placing the baskets on the lamp posts. The Board agreed that it was better to keep the expense for this year because it is a beautification of the main thoroughfare. Item #25– Authorizing Accounts Payable Trustee Morris audited the Accounts Payable. After some discussion, a motion was made by Trustee Morris and seconded by Trustee Marty to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Lewis was absent.
