Mayor’s Report:
Mayor Volpe thanked the Pelham Preservation with respect to their letter in opposition to the planned
communication proposed cell tower. He said that the reasons cited in that letter are appreciated and they were
supportive of the efforts of our community to oppose the placement of the130-foot mono-pole cell tower, in our
community in the locations suggested. He reported that he did not have a new date for a cancelled meeting
but he would follow up.
Mayor Volpe explained that the Westchester County Clerk has inquired whether or not we want to participate in
a shared service, at no cost to the Village, a license agreement of an administrable sharing program regarding
Westchester records online. He said there were a variety of records including land and legal papers respecting
properties, foreclosures and judgments. He requested Mr. Scelza go ahead with this.
Mayor Volpe read a letter that he had received from some of our local Realtors respecting changes in the tax
law.
"Dear Mayor, Mayor Volpe due to changes in federal tax law which limit the deductibility of local property taxes,
homeownership in the Villages of Pelham Manor and Pelham is more expensive than ever. As Pelham real
estate professionals and homeowners, we ask that the boards of both villages take some action to study ways
to reduce property taxes. We look forward to hearing from you with a path forward."

Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 9, 2018
As regards hearing from me, we are going to discuss another business tonight, the potential challenge to the
IRS regulations respecting the charitable trust vehicles that the state has sought to set up to reinvigorate or
provide an offset on your taxes, that was changed under the law. The villages on top of those concerns, I
would say to the three realtors who signed it and I just wanted to acknowledge your letter and tell you that we
will be mindful of that moving forward.
He spoke in detail about the Villages efforts over the last five, six years or so, in keeping tax increases at or
below the imposed tax cap and how those efforts would continue.
Mayor Volpe thanked the Pelham Senior Citizens for sending him a thank you card for attending their meeting.
Mayor Volpe gave an update of the101 Wolfs Lane Project. He explained that there were a lot of technical
issues that had to be worked through and the lawyers were working on drafting the documents necessary to
move the process forward to try to reach an agreement. He said if the parties don't reach agreement, the
project will not go forward.
He reported that he had a recent meeting with the developer and a representative of the Pelham Picture
House, for the 163 Wolfs Lane project and he was happy to report that it appears that they have some sort of
agreement to potentially redevelop the old gas station property in a collaborative way with the Picture House
that will have some space in new development for added theater and some educational space.
Mayor Volpe said that The Pelham Civics will be honoring two residents, Richard Davidian, and Kathy
O’Callaghan on October the 19th at the annual Pelham Civic dinner. He went on to say that they are two very
well-deserved recipients of the Person of the Year Award for their varied efforts in serving the Pelhams and
surrounding communities. He thanked Richard and Kathy for their service to the community and congratulated
them on their vast list of accomplishments that they have each attained.
Trustees’ Report:
Trustee Ferrara
Nothing to report
Deputy Mayor Kagan reported the Village of Pelham was one of the 19 pilot communities in the State of New
York that joined the community choice aggregation program where the Village works with sustainable
Westchester to bid power from renewable sources in the state, it was an experimental two-year program that
supplied power to our village residents. He explained that the program expires at the end of this year and that
Sustainable Westchester and Westchester Power have gone back out to market to rebid for the next two years
and the rebid process solicited five responses, three of which bid. The lowest bidder was Constellation, which
is the current provider at a lower rate for residents of 7.709 cents per kilowatt-hour for standard power and
7.959 cents for green power from hydroelectric sources which is actually slightly lower than the price paid in
the two-year contract, which was about 8.0 cents per kilowatt-hour. The two-year total per household is now
approximately about $250 savings in residents utility price because this program has a fixed price for electricity
and not a fluctuating price that Con Ed uses which varies every month. He hoped to have a presentation from
them in the next month or so, but hopefully the Village will be able to continue with that project.

Item # 9 - Presentation by JMF Properties Group
Mayor Volpe introduced Joe Forgione of JMF Properties Group.
Mr. Forgione gave some background about his company and thanked the Board for the opportunity to submit a
proposal for the re-development of Village owned property.
Mr. Forgione gave some details of the proposal for the site on the open air parking lot across from the Arts
Center along Fifth Avenue, the two-deck parking garage on Fourth Avenue, and then in and around the
Firehouse ,for 140 units with 216 parking spaces, which is 1.5 spaces per unit. He explained that the building
would be a four-story over two-story parking deck with a small portion of retail and an amenity package with
roughly about 6,000 square feet. He said that it would probably be a 50/50 of one bedroom to two bedrooms.
He discussed the potential relocation of the Firehouse and focused on the site where the current Village Hall
and Village Yard are located. He said that they had asked their architect to lay out the most efficient parking
deck and still allow for the uses that to expand the Police Station, the Firehouse and relocate the DPW. The
way the proposal is written today is that they would pay the village $4.4 million dollars for that project which
would pay for the construction of a, three hundred twenty four car, parking deck at that location. He said that
the land that they were paying for was basically for the parking lot and the Firehouse.
After a question by a Board member regarding affordable Housing Mr. Forgione explained that Westchester
does have a mandate now of 10% so that would have to be included it in the proposal. Mayor Volpe clarified by
explaining that the county requirements could be met by providing what they call workforce housing for people
that work in around the community.
Mayor Volpe said that there had been about 10 different responses in various forms for the RFP and that the
written submission that the Village had received from another developer had certain features but doesn't have
some of these features and this proposal may be more robust and the Board needed to figure out from our
perspective what the next steps are. He went on to explain that this Board has felt, as well as the prior Boards
that the municipal infrastructure in the Village is badly in need of attention, and because it is very expensive
that is why the Board is so intrigued by some of these concepts. Mayor Volpe praised the quality of the work in
this proposal and said that these are bold steps for our community detailing three current projects in the Village
and how the Village needed these changes. He explained how this can only help the tax base in many regards.
Mayor Volpe thanked Mr. Frangione for his presentation and said that the Board would revisit and circle back
to him.

Item # 10 – Approving a Request from the Friends of the Pelham Civic Association for a Half

Resolution Approving a Request from the Friends of the Pelham Civic Association for a Half Marathon
Whereas, the Friends of the Pelham Civic Association has requested permission to hold its Annual Pelham
Half Marathon in the Village of Pelham on Saturday, November 24, 2018 by letter dated September 25, 2018
(attached hereto and made a part hereof); and

Item # 12 – Adopting Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy
This item was tabled because the BOT decided to review the Village’s existing policy and figure out the best
way to incorporate the new requirements. Trustees Mullen and Spira-Cohen volunteered to work on it.
Resolution Adopting Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy
Whereas, the Village of Pelham currently has a harassment policy in place addressing all forms if illegal
harassment; and
Whereas, amendments to New York’s Labor Law require every employer in New York State, both public and
private, to adopt the State’s model sexual harassment prevention policy and training program by October 9,
2018 (NY Labor Law § 201-G); and
Whereas, the Village of Pelham supports the elimination and prevention of workplace sexual harassment.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham herein adopts the attached
Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy to be made available to all employees, effective immediately.

Item # 13 – Discussion on Changing Village Election Date
Mayor Volpe gave an update on item number 13 on the agenda regarding the changing of the month of the
Village Election from March to November. He explained that there was an initial submission of a petition
regarding this with approximately 400 signatures that was rejected because the petition did not conform to
state law as it must. He wanted to make it clear with the public the possibility of it being a on the November 6
ballot that there was not a submission that was timely enough to have that question presented as a referendum
on November 6, 2018 ballot.
The Mayor and Board then discussed the possibility of proceeding with passing a resolution by the Village
Board calling for referendum that could be placed on a later ballot.
Trustee Elhadry said that they had initially spearheaded this proposal of having it put on the ballot and having
the Village residents decide and instead of a petition, because that is not going to happen now, it would be
good if the Board could proceed with passing a resolution calling for referendum.
Deputy Mayor Kagan appreciated that a group of residents had collected a significant amount signatures.
Approximately 475 people signed their names to the petition and were at least interested in it enough as to
whether they would vote for it or against it on a referendum. He explained that if we end up moving the date or
not it should be done by the will of the people. He thought that the question before the Board is just the
mechanism for how the Board would make that happen. He thought that given that a significant number of
people that signed the petition, he thought that we have the ability to address this question in a referendum
and we should do that.
Trustee Mullen said as somebody who really takes very seriously the idea that he is sitting at this table to
represent the interest of the people in the village, he didn’t see how he could dismiss the fact that over 400
people think that this should be on a ballot.
Potocki spoke about his own beliefs that the village election should be in March. He felt that the Village election
would completely lose focus in the National election and when the Village election is in March, the only thing
that you're going to see is the local candidates.
Trustee Spira-Cohen gave her personal view that she would like to see more things as referendums in the
Village because it's a good way to engage people in important issues.
Mayor Volpe said he would send to the Board a draft resolution for their consideration to move forward with
considering a resolution that addresses all the concerns of the Board and If a large part of the community
wants to have the question heard, it seems that notwithstanding the efforts of the voters or residents that could
not get it done in time for November, the Board should consider this by resolution.
Page 10
Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Mr. John Cassone of Seventh Avenue said that he approached the question at a Senior Citizens meeting
asking how many people would like to see the election changed from March to November. He said out of
approximately 70 people it was about 50-50 and that the seniors felt they needed more information on the
subject.
Mayor Volpe said that he would not take a political position on the issue but that he would come to a meeting if
the seniors were willing to have him explain it.
Mayor Volpe stated that he had a draft resolution that he would distribute to the Board at a later time.
He then put out a potential second question on the referendum regarding minimizing the size of the Board. He
explained that the Village of Pelham Board is uncommon in that it has seven members made up of six
Trustees, and a Mayor. He said that if the village is going to do a reformation on how we decide in this
community how officials are elected, that the Board should consider going from six elected Trustees to four,
and have a Board total of five like most villages and towns. He explained that the only reason Pelham has
seven is that when the combination of the two villages happened years ago a compromise was made. He felt
the Board could at least consider it because it might be a more efficient way to run government here in the
Village of Pelham. He thought that in fairness to the public, there would be a need to be a discussion on both
issues.

Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Item # 14 – Other Business
Resolution Opposing the IRS Proposed Rule Published August 27, 2018, Regarding Charitable
Contributions in Exchange for State or Local Tax Credits
Whereas, in response to the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), the State of New York has enacted
legislation as part of its FY2019 Budget that authorizes counties, local governments, and school districts to
establish a charitable gifts reserve fund that may be used to defray some of the costs related to public
education, healthcare, or other public service provided by that entity; and
Whereas, the State of New York has also enacted legislation which allows counties, local governments, and
public school districts the option to authorize by means of resolution a real property tax credit of up to 95% of
the amount of a property owner’s monetary contribution(s) to an established charitable reserve fund during the
“associated credit year”; and
Whereas, individual taxpayers may be incentivized to contribute generously to these charitable funds out of
the expectation that the pairing of an increased charitable deduction at the federal level combined with a real
property tax credit at the local level may mitigate the effects of the new $10,000 cap on state and local tax
deductions imposed by TCJA; and
Whereas, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued on August 23, 2018 proposed regulations providing
rules on the availability of federal charitable contribution deductions when the taxpayer receives or expects to
receive a corresponding state or local tax credit; and
Whereas, the proposed regulations rules that a taxpayer who makes a contribution to a charitable reserve fund
and subsequently receives a state or local tax credit that exceeds 15 percent of the contribution must reduce
his or her charitable deduction by the amount of any tax credit he or she received at the state or local level;
and
Whereas, state, county, and local entities have expressed confusion, doubt, and skepticism on the draft
regulations and have raised questions as to whether they constitute an arbitrary and capricious interpretation
of federal tax law, particularly in the context of the treatment of existing state tax credit programs that pre-date
the TCJA and the stated preservation of the deductibility of contributions made by businesses; and
Whereas, the IRS has invited the public to submit comments on the proposed regulations no later than
October 11, 2018.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham believes the proposed
regulations issued by the IRS on August 23, 2018, dramatically impair the incentives for individual taxpayers to
make contributions to these charitable reserve funds as established by law in the State of New York and, in
doing so, impair the mission of these funds, namely providing a high-providing necessary and high-quality
public services to all residents of the Village of Pelham; and
Page 12
Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Be it further resolved, that the Village of Pelham believes the proposed regulations issued by the IRS on
August 23, 2018, provide insufficient clarity on many topics as well as arbitrary and unfair distinctions between
deductions for individuals compared to deductions for businesses, and contributions to support public
education compared to contributions to support private education; and
Be it further resolved, that the Village of Pelham finds it necessary and appropriate to propose changes to
the proposed regulations issued by the IRS to provide additional clarity for the taxpayers of the Village of
Pelham and to explain and remove any arbitrary distinctions that would effectively and unfairly disadvantage
the taxpayers of the Village of Pelham; and
Be it further resolved, that the Village of Pelham shall submit public comments on or before October 11, 2018
that shall reflect the concerns outlined above; and
Be it further resolved, that the Village of Pelham shall seek to collaborate with other like-minded state,
county, municipality, or school district agencies or organizations to express these concerns publicly and to
advocate for fair regulations and equitable and principled interpretation of federal tax law that recognizes and
rewards the value of contributions in support of public services, no matter whether the contributor is an
individual or a business, or whether the charitable entity is public or private.
