Item # 8 – Public Hearing on Local Law No. 3 of 2018 Creating Chapter 7 of the Village Code
Entitled Sustainability Advisory Board
The public hearing was opened after a motion by Trustee Spira-Cohen and seconded by Trustee
Ferrara, vote 7-0.
Mayor Volpe stated a couple edits have been made to the previous draft concerning §2 the
organizational structure and §3 meetings and voting. Mayor Volpe suggested §1 purpose should be
changed to broaden the scope of the best practices and lessons that the Sustainability Advisory
Board can consider in making its recommendations. Trustee Potocki stated §4 removal and
vacancies was unclear in its language about removing members, so Trustee Kagan suggested it
should read “By vote of the majority of the Mayor and Village Board shall have the power to remove..”
Public Comment:
Karen Gardener, 914 Wynnewood Road, Pelham Manor, thanked the Board for allowing residents
of the Village of Pelham Manor to join the Sustainability Advisory Board, and asked if trustees from

having a Pelham Manor trustee sitting, and Trustee Spira-Cohen stated the law does not preclude
involvement from the Town or the Village of Pelham Manor in terms of participation.
Aimee Kaplan, 204 Elderwood Avenue, serves on Eco-Pel and the Pelham Preservation Garden
Society, and both of her groups are looking forward to working with the Sustainability Advisory Board,
especially on matters respecting preservation, open space, and tree canopy work. Ms. Kaplan thanks
the Board for the creation of the Sustainability Advisory Board.
Violet Massie Vereker, 8th Avenue representing Pelham Eliminates Plastic (PEP), a student led
initiative, stated the goal of PEP is to eliminate the use of single use plastic like straws, bags, and
water bottles, so they recently partnered with DeCicco’s to increase the use of paper bags, and
possibly instituting a plastic bag fee. Ms. Vereker would like to form a partnership with the
Sustainability Advisory Board, and Mayor Volpe indicated revealed students can serve on the
Sustainability Advisory Board.
Tom White, 55 1st Street, commends the Board on the creation of the Sustainability Advisory Board,
and he thinks it is important to coordinate with Westchester County, since the County has been
progressive with sustainability issues.
Trustee Kagan stated in the past, there was consideration for a local plastic bag ban, but at that time,
it was thought it would disadvantage local businesses if neighboring communities did not impose
such a ban. At the time, the Board felt that it would be better instituted at the Westchester County
level or State level.
Page 5
Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 27, 2018
Ms. Gardener stated there are local towns and villages who have implemented the plastic bag ban,
so the Board should consider revisiting this issue.
Sarah O’Connor, Esplanade, representing PEP, revealed they worked with DeCicco’s to go plastic
free for a day for plastic pollution awareness day, and they are continuing the conversation with
DeCicco’s to ban plastic bags.
David Brown, 134 Cliff Avenue, thanks the Board for the creation of the Sustainability Advisory
Board, and he anticipates both Villages will collaborate on sustainability issues.
Maggie Klein, Pelham Plus, asked about the application process, and Trustee Spira-Cohen
revealed interested parties can apply for membership through the Village website or through the
MyVOP app.
Trustee Spira-Cohen read a statement from Nina Orville, chair of the Dobbs Ferry Sustainability Task
Force,
“I would like to commend the Village Board for considering creation of a Sustainability Advisory Board
and am confident that such a board would provide great results in Pelham. The benefits that we’ve
seen in my village of Dobbs Ferry stemming from activities of the Dobbs Ferry Sustainability Task
Force can illustrate the positive results that may come from creating that kind of committee.
The Village of Dobbs Ferry created the Sustainability Task Force (STF) (formerly known as the
Energy Task Force) in 2008, and I have been honored to chair that committee since its inception. The
committee, whose members are appointed by the Village Board, has worked in close partnership with
elected officials and municipal staff and more recently has been expanding outreach to the schools
and other village institutions.
The STF has been a wonderful vehicle for people who are passionate about different aspects of
sustainability to contribute to improvements in the Village.
Some of the results of our work include:
• Helping the Village secure over $775K in energy-related grant funds.
• Providing recommendations for Village-funded energy projects.
• Securing recognition from NYS through programs including Clean Energy Community
designation and Climate Smart Community Certification.
• Assisting in projects to study and improve pedestrian safety including Safe Routes to School
grants.
• A current effort to improve recycling performance and reduce waste.
• Community outreach events related to sustainability.
Based on my experience with the committed and talented volunteers I’ve had the pleasure to work
with through Solarize Pelham, I am confident that a Sustainability Advisory Board in the Village would
Page 6
Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 27, 2018
be very successful. The combination of professionalism and passion that have been so apparent in
Pelham are the key to effective work by this kind of committee or board.”
The public hearing was closed after a motion by Trustee Ferrara and seconded by Trustee Spira-
Cohen, vote 7-0
