She stated that she has created a Facebook page for the Village of Pelham. She invited residents to “like” the page.

The position states that the position will be 16 hours or less, salary will be $15,000 a year, and she will not receive benefits. Trustee Volpe asked if there were any further expenses to be incurred by the Village as a result of approving this position. Administrator Yamuder responded that there should be no additional expenses as the current secretary vacating the position dovetails with Mrs. Shirreffs assuming the job. Trustee Kagan asked if there an official job description attached to this position. Administrator Yamuder responded that there is one but it is not attached to the resolution. He stated he can provide one to the Board for their review. Trustee Volpe stated his only concern with this resolution pertains to benefits and other requirements under Civil Service.

Item #8– Authorizing the Use of Village Streets and Assistance for Traffic Control For the Annual Little League Parade Administrator Yamuder stated he received a letter from the Little League regarding the annual parade scheduled for Saturday April 5th. He said that the Little League was made aware that they are responsible for all overtime costs and other directs costs associated with the event as per the resolution.

A motion was made by Trustee Volpe and seconded by Trustee Senerchia to approve the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of seven in favor, none opposed. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham authorizes use of Village streets and assistance for traffic control for the Annual Pelham Little League Parade on Saturday, April 5, 2014, with streets closed from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., for the parade to take place from 8:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. on 5th Avenue from Lincoln Avenue through Wolfs Lane to the High School, with a staging area on 3rd Street between 4th Avenue and 7th Avenue; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Little League Organization will be responsible for all Village Of Pelham overtime costs and all other direct costs that are incurred by this event including appropriate insurance requirements; and BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village Administrator, Police Chief, Fire Chief and General Foreman are authorized to take the necessary and appropriate actions to implement the plan and make arrangements for this parade. Item #9– Tax Certiorari Settlement and Payment Authorizations for Acquisition America at 21 Fifth Avenue Trustee Volpe stated that the Town of Pelham handles the tax matters for both Pelham and Pelham Manor.

Page 5 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, February 4, 2014 A motion was made by Trustee McGoldrick and seconded by Trustee Marty to approve the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of seven in favor, none opposed. Trustee Marty said the Board does not have a say in this matter but asked if the Administrator knows of anymore certioraris that could be coming up in subsequent meetings. Administrator Yamuder stated that he understood from the Town Assessor that there are other certioraris in various stages of development. The Administrator stated that the Village does have a contingency fund to cover these costs. The amount dedicated to this contingency fund is determined during budget season. Mayor Cassidy said that although this certiorari is just now coming before the Board, it is the result of an eight year old court decision. He said the Village is being forced to budget based on dated court decisions and the Board should work to get more information from the Assessor about any potential certioraris in the future. Trustee Volpe suggested having Town Assessor Michelle Cassandra come to the next meeting to advise the Board regarding any potential tax certioraris. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham hereby authorize the court ordered settlement and payment for a refund of taxes and reduction in assessment to Acquisition America pursuant to the Court Order and Judgment for the properties at the following addresses for the following amounts: Address: Tax Lot ID Number: Assessment Years: Amount: 21 Fifth Avenue 163.44-1-30 2006-2012 $45,650.25 In the total amount of forty-five thousand six hundred fifty dollars and twenty-five cents ($45,650.25), and authorizes the Mayor, the Village Attorney and the Village Administrator/Treasurer to sign this agreement take the necessary and appropriate actions to effect this Court Order and refund these taxes.

He asked for any comments from the public on this draft local law. There were no comments. A motion was made by Trustee Mutti and seconded by Trustee Kagan to close the public hearing. The vote was approved by a vote of seven in favor, none opposed. Administrator Yamuder said this draft of the local law will give the Board the power to change the penalty amount for overdue water bills. Trustee Kagan said there had been some investigation into other communities as well as some discussion on lowering the penalty to 5% as opposed to 10% as the Code currently stipulates. He said the lowering of the penalty would bring Pelham more in line with other communities. Page 7 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, February 4, 2014 A motion was made by Trustee Kagan and seconded by Trustee Mutti to approve the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of seven in favor, none opposed.

Page 8 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, February 4, 2014 Item #11– Authorizing the award of Contract #2014-01 – Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Trustee Marty stated there are several options before the Board regarding the recently bid sanitation contract. He said the big debate in the community is the question of whether to switch to curbside pickup from rear-yard pickup in hopes of achieving greater savings. Another debate is increasing the number of recycling pickups. Trustee Volpe asked Trustee Marty what he feels people in the Village favor with regard to these options. Trustee Marty stated the feedback he had received was overwhelmingly in favor of continuing rear-yard collection despite that significant savings. Mayor Cassidy agreed with this assessment. Trustee Senerchia stated that he would favor twice-a-week garbage collection over once-a-week because it could become onerous on large families. Trustee Mutti suggested the Board encourage residents to look into green alternatives such as mulching to cut down on organic and household garbage pickups. Trustee Volpe stated that this contract is one of the Village’s major expenditures and there is an expectation of service by many Village residents. He said with the prospect of the looming tax cap however, the Board must manage those expectations against potential savings. Trustee Marty stated that looking at this contract, which consists of two initial years with two one year extension options that the low bid for Alternative III provide by R&S Waste which provides the status quo for collections throughout the Village is approximately $60,000 less than AAA’s was for the past two years. He added that in order to increase recycling which is figured in Alternative I it would cost the Village approximately $85,000. Maggie Klein of the Pelham Weekly suggested looking closely at the pickup options with the commercial district with the idea of generating savings by diminishing pickups for merchants. Administrator Yamuder said the Village has investigated how to make the commercial district collection more efficient however any changes at this time create difficulties for the merchants and the garbage collectors. He said as of now, the Village offers the commercial district collection schedule as a package along with the residential pickups. Ralph Acempora asked if the sanitation tipping fees that are charged at the dumping plants are included in the bid specifications. Pat Cartelemi of AAA Carting confirmed that the tipping fees are excluded from the bid and are charged to the municipality. Page 9 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, February 4, 2014 David Brown of Eco-Pel asked the Board to consult the public further on the merits and savings that could be generated by switching to curbside pickup. He said the Village could consider extending the current contract on a monthly basis in order to educate the public on these benefits and prepare for an eventual change to curbside collection. Mr. Acempora said the bid numbers from the recently opened proposals have not been advertised to the public for their review and he would urge the Board to hold off on voting on this matter until the next Board meeting and the results have been posted on the Village website. Mike Carpenter asked the Board stated that if the Board has two weeks to air these results it would be beneficial to the community to review them. Pat Cartelemi of AAA Carting stated that based on his own observations and those of his crews on the trucks that approximately 40% of the Village brings their garbage to the curb already and the remaining 60% utilize the rear-yard collection. Mr. Cartelemi added that there was a mistake on one of his bid numbers between the written words and numbers. Administrator Yamuder responded there was a discrepancy and that as per the contract language, any discrepancy between the words and numbers; the written words will govern. Mr. Cartelemi went on to say that AAA would be prepared to offer rear-yard collection as a service that is customer initiated and arranged on a household by household basis. Trustee Volpe said he would not feel comfortable telling elderly and disabled residents that under a new sanitation contract they would have to bring their garbage to the curb or pay for a service that was once provided for free. Mr. Cartelemi responded disabled and handicapped residents would not be charged for this service. David Brown of Eco Pell suggested going out to the public for a referendum on this issue and putting in on the ticket for the impending election on March. Trustee Volpe responded that a referendum cannot go on as a debate topic prior to the March 18th election date. He said there is a process within State law for referendums and there is not enough time. Mayor Cassidy added that the Board cannot go out to the public on every big item that it must approve. He said extending the contract month to month would needlessly expensive for the Village amounting to almost $9,000 a month. Page 10 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, February 4, 2014 Trustee Marty suggested posted the results on the website and holding off on a vote until the next meeting on February 18th. He added that the next two years can be spent continuing the discussion on curbside collection. John Cassone of 7th Avenue stated that the Village is in a tight place financially with the impending tax cap which has already been brought down from last year’s number. He said AAA Carting should have come forward with this alternative earlier in the bid process. He said the Village has experimented with curbside pickup before and the garbage pails have historically been left all over the streets. Trustee Kagan responded that AAA Carting can only submit a proposal based on the options requested by the Village in the RFP. Mr. Cartelemi stated that he brought this option up in a meeting with the Trustees and Administrator. Trustee Volpe said any fee would have to be minimal for residents choosing from this a-la-carte option that AAA Carting is proposing. Mr. Cartelemi said the municipalities of Carmel and Mahopac typically pay $10 to $15 for this service. Pelham would most likely be less considering the smaller area and population size. Administrator Yamuder said this option cannot be fully fleshed out by next meeting and was not included as part of the original RFP. He reminded the Board that they will need to know these numbers for the purpose of budgeting which will begin in a few short weeks. Trustee Marty stated the Board will post the results on the website for the public to review in the interest of transparency. It will not be rebidding the contract but will revisit this issue at the next meeting. The Board decided to table this resolution until a later meeting. Mayor Cassidy signed off Skype after this portion of the meeting.
