Item # 2 – Pledge of Allegiance: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mayor Volpe. Item # 3 – Roll Call: Attendee Name Present Absent Late Mayor Volpe ☒ ☐ ☐ Trustee Ferrara ☒ ☐ ☐ Trustee Kagan ☒ ☐ ☐ Trustee Kamal Eldahry ☒ ☐ ☐ Trustee Mullen ☒ ☐ ☐ Trustee Potocki ☒ ☐ ☐ Trustee Spira-Cohen ☒ ☐ ☐ Village Administrator Small ☒ ☐ ☐ Asst. Village Administrator Scelza ☒ ☐ ☐ Village Attorney Smith ☐ ☒ ☐ Mayor’s Report: Mayor Volpe said some of you have read about the announcement or pronouncement by Con Edison with respect to a moratorium on gas hookups in communities in Westchester. He assured the public he was working on that issue with our State Assemblywoman and others including our State Senator, because it is a very important issue. He said they are advocating on behalf of our community and many other communities that would be affected by the Con Edison announcement. He explained there had been a workshop last Thursday where there were presentations from three developers who've responded to the request for proposal that the Village put out a number of months ago. He said there would be a presentation from a fourth responder tonight, but wanted the public to know that the three-hour meeting from 7:30 to 10:30 from last Thursday, the 17th was videoed and was being broadcast. He asked that the public please be sure to watch because there are important issues that concern our community and its future. He had received a lot of questions about the gas station at 163 Wolfs Lane, and whether or not the gas station owners are still the owners of the property since it's not a gas station anymore. He said he understands that those negotiations have temporarily fallen through but hoped that they would be jumpstarted. He said if that was not the case, he hoped that the Village gets a proposal that's satisfactory to the Village. He said he had been asked about 101 Wolfs Lane, and he was going to inquire about the status of that project, because they Page 2 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2019 have preliminary approval to move ahead and the Village had not heard much from them in the last couple of months. He congratulated Administrator Small who received a Drum Major Award at an awards ceremony that he attended along with Trustees Mullen, Eldahry, and Spira-Cohen. He was very proud to be Mr. Small’s guest and to be at his table with Mr. Small’s family. Trustees’ Report: Trustee Ferrara wanted the Colonial parents to know that testing was being performed for the sewage line problem at Colonial School and it had been scheduled to be completed on Monday, but due to the extreme weather, they were only able to complete one part of the test. She said the last part of the test will be completed during the February break. She told them Mr. Scelza is making sure the testing is completed, and then we'll have results and reports. Trustee Kagan reported the Police Department conducted its annual active shooter training and he was glad they do it but hoped they never have to use it. He also wanted to mention the negotiating teams had their sixth negotiating session with the Union representing our Police Officers and Sergeants. He said at this point there was an impasse, but he was confident both sides will remain committed to a fair resolution of their contract. Trustee Kamal Eldahry -Nothing to report Trustee Mullen wanted to congratulate Village Administrator Small, for receiving the Drum Major Award at New Rochelle's Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Drum Major Memorial breakfast and said he was very proud of Mr. Small’s speech. Trustee Potocki-Nothing to report Trustee Spira-Cohen -Nothing to report Village Administrator’s Report: Administrator Small -Nothing to report. Page 3 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2019 Item # 7 – Public Comments Ms. Maryanne Joyce wanted to make a quick announcement on behalf of Senator Alessandra Biaggi’s office. She said she is going to be the area representative for Westchester and she wanted the public to know the office was opening tomorrow and if residents have concerns or issues they want to bring to their attention, they should feel free to reach out to her. Secondly, she was there on behalf of the Sustainability Advisory Board, which she is a member of. She said on December 3rd, they had voted to recommend to the Village of Pelham apply to be certified as a Climate Smart Community. She said the first step would be for the Village Board to pass the Climate Smart Communities pledge as a municipal resolution to join the program and become a registered Climate Smart Community and once the resolution has been adopted by the Village Board we can begin to work on some of the goals we're setting as the Sustainability Advisory Board. There are 246 registered Climate Smart Communities in New York State with many of our Westchester neighbors are participating in this program. She said there is a lot of information available on the website and some of the actions that come under Climate Smart Communities Program, the Village has already embarked upon, such as a greenhouse gas emissions survey, the LED streetlights and the Solar Program. She pointed out that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation runs a Climate Smart Communities Program and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority runs something called the Clean Energy Communities Program. She clarified that these were two different State agencies with two different programs both working towards the same goal, so at some point the SAB may come back and encourage the Village to register as a Clean Energy Community as well. She said one of the reasons it would be important and a good thing for the Village to do this is there's a lot of grant money involved. She had a list of 2018 grant awards through the Climate Smart Communities Program to all Village and Municipalities, Counties, all over New York State. Mayor Volpe said having looked at this today the Village should draft a resolution that will be customized to our community and we should work toward that for the next meeting and get it on the agenda. Page 4 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2019 Non-Recurring Items Item # 8 – Presentation by Lacilla/Hindi Group RFP Response Jeff Lacilla of Lacilla Hindi Group gave background on his newly created company that he started with his partner Kareem Hindi. He said their presentation would go through municipal needs, the issues, and initial concept that they have as it pertains to emergency services and the general municipal needs of the Village. He explained their joint venture partner, Sterling Property Group, is recognized as a premier developer of luxury rental residential upscale single-family homes, town homes, retail and commercial properties through the metropolitan region. He introduced Jeff Garfinkel and Nick Hollenbeck of Sterling properties and said they lately have been focusing their efforts mostly on transit-oriented developments. Mr. Lacilla said this RFP represents an interesting opportunity in fact, maybe the only opportunity to improve or redevelop these Village facilities, or at least some of them. He said they had the opportunity to speak the Chief Pallet and Chief DiNapoli regarding their current facilities and the needs. He had the opportunity to tour the Fire Department with the Chief and found the conditions there to be poor. He went on to say he did not visit the police station, but understood that facility is in need as well. Mr. Garfinkel of Sterling Property Group said what he thought what made Sterling stand apart from other people is they don't just build buildings, they built communities, and they were not flippers but actually invested in the communities that they build in. Mr. Garfinkel went on to speak about the Architectural firm Minno and Wasko Architects and Planners that would be involved in the project. He explained they are a design firm that amongst one of their specializations is significant residential and mixed-use development experience with an emphasis on enriching the urban environment and downtown transit settings. He said Stewart Johnson of that firm would be working on the Pelham project. He introduced Robert Mitchell who has extensive public safety experience in designing and building various public safety facilities. He said Mr. Mitchell will be leading our team to understand the programming, and needs of our emergency services, and has discussed an initial assessment of needs with both Chief DiNapoli and Chief Pallet. Mr. Mitchell has provided architectural services to the emergency response community for more than 23 years and has been directly involved in over 150 projects, Mr. Mitchell gave an overview of the project and - thought it was - important to say they can design something that would fit on that site that would meet the parameters that the Village chooses to set and make it work. He said the building you build today should be in operation long into the future, they were municipal buildings that essentially should have an indefinite life, an enduring Page 5 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2019 structure that if properly maintained and conceived correctly from the beginning will last as long as you wish it to. Stuart Johnson, principal with Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners, spoke about his company and their specialization in residential and mixed-use residential developments, especially transit- oriented development and also downtown redevelopment, creating walking villages and new mixed- use communities. He said they were active within the Westchester area. He went on to present their proposal for the north redevelopment area within the village, the site that is uniquely located within the downtown, with direct proximity to mass transit, a walking distance to the train station, walking distance to shops and restaurants and retail. He said the site frontage on 5th Avenue, 3rd Street, and 4th Avenue is uniquely situated for a new mixed-use community within the downtown to provide residents, who will not only support the new retail that's being proposed here, but also would support the existing retail. He presented the proposed, concept for 120 new residential units that are comprised of 6 studio units, 61-one-bedroom units, 51 two-bedroom units and also 3 unique two-story townhouse units that would function like Brownstones that front on 5th Avenue and are currently where the firehouse is. He went on to say the project provides for 270 internal structured parking spaces within three levels. The final part of the presentation was breakdown of the Financial summary including a proposal that they enter into a ground lease with the Village. Page 6 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2019 Item # 9 – Department Head Report (Building and Department of Public Works) Joseph Senerchia, Superintendent of Buildings and Public Works for the Village of Pelham gave yearly overview of both of his departments for 2018. He compared the Building Dept from January of this year to January of last year and said everything is trending very close to what it was last year at this time. He explained the Village developed a new program in March of last year for operating permits for all buildings three family and over in residential and commercial, including the businesses primarily concentrated on Fifth Avenue in our business district. He said the Fire Inspector goes in and makes an inspection and looks at things like safety emergency exit signs, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and other things of that nature. He said since inception in March of 2018, the Fire Department and the Fire Inspectors made approximately 258 inspections with 191 of those to date passing, payment processed and an operating permit issued. He gave a brief breakdown of the Building Department permits issued. There were 326 building permits, 179 electrical permits, 121 plumbing permits. He wanted to note that in 2018, 37 of those permits were for solar installations. He said the valuation of work that was brought in through building permits and work being done on people's homes and businesses in the Village of Pelham, was just over $20 million. He said his team in the Building Department consisted of himself, his Assistant Building Inspector, Jim Morris, a great addition and a big help to his department and Adriana, a college student, who works part-time, two to three days a week. He said she was a tremendous help answering phones, answering questions, and filing, freeing him up to be on the road and do inspections. He said Municity, the online building department portal, was very helpful to his department. He said now people have the ability to look at files through our website on the user-friendly portal instead of having to come in and view the files in person. He said with Adriana's help, everything is almost in real-time where once you physically get an approved permit, it will be up online for the public to see, including inspection reports and photos. He went on to give an overview of the DPW where they did some Capital Projects, including paving which was half a million dollars’ worth of paving that we had allocated money for, in addition to our CHIPS projects on Sparks, Manning, and Sixth Avenue, which also included some curbing and striping. He said the Village DPW restriped and repainted all the parking spots, parking spaces and cross walks except for the major crosswalks that we had a company come in and do. He said sewer and storm backups are down about 80% compared to this time last year. He explained because they Page 7 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2019 cleaned every storm drain and catch basin in the village and because they kept up with grease trap inspections and certifications that seemed to help out a little bit in some of the troubled spots. He said there was a big capital sidewalks project and program that we completed with our village contractor Peter Landy, through an infrastructure contract that Chris Scelza put together. His men put down 35 tons of blacktop last year filling miscellaneous potholes and 38 yards of cement doing sidewalk replacement for sidewalks that were the Village's responsibility. He said they hired a part time seasonal employee Paul Torres as a full-time laborer. Mr. Senerchia said he was a great addition to the department and a very hard worker. He said leaf season was very successful. He said they had added some additional holiday decor this year and he planned on doing more next year. He responded to over two dozen emergency calls with the Police Department and Fire Department in 2018, and he gave kudos to Fire Chief DiNapoli and Police Chief Pallet. He wanted to mention what’s going on this month with the DPW. He said they were continuing to work on the trucks and get the equipment ready for snow, between the plows, the salters, the payloaders, and organizing our salt shed, and continue servicing the police department fleet. He said they got all the vehicles ready with their snow tires, basic service, oil changes, et cetera. He was sure people had seen catch basin repairs around the heights and in various places on the north side as well. He said they had to do some emergency repair work on about 8 to 10 catch basins. Lastly, he said they were working on Christmas tree pick up through January 31st. He said this year they did something a little bit different. He had the men chip the trees before they were brought to New Rochelle. He said they did it for a couple of reasons. First, they have the equipment to do it and it hasn't been done in the past few years. So instead of bringing in dump trucks over with full Christmas trees in it, we're bringing over dump trucks full of chipped trees. He said it can fit a lot more trees and becomes a cost savings with fuel, the wear and tear on the trucks, and cut back on man hours because we had less guys going back and forth to New Rochelle. He pointed out at the same time, it is greener, less emissions from the trucks, and the trees were readily available for mulching and re-purpose. He also wanted to add, if people would like a new tree planting, they can do that through my VOP, the new mobile app. He explained you go to service request to the new tree planting, and you'll end up on the list, which is first come first serve. Page 8 Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 22, 2019 Item # 10 – Discussion on Request for Proposals Responses (Municipal Facilities) Mayor Volpe said with regards to the four responses to the RFP there was some follow up being done by Ms. Bourne and Peter Gaitto firm. He suggested the sub-committee should review the chart which is going to compare the four responders and try to do an apple to apples analysis to the best extent possible. He said after they digest that this week, they should have a conference call with the professionals. He said there were some legal issues he wanted to talk to our lawyers about, along with other issues regarding building requirements and financing issues. He said after the committee reviewed the chart, they could talk to the Board individually and then put the discussion on for the February 12 agenda, if that was acceptable to everyone. He said they also had sustainability questions that were passed to Ms. Bourne who will, in turn, pass them to the developers and see if we can get answers to those. Mayor Volpe said then he would get back to each of the developers individually with Ms. Bourne and will tell them the timeline. He said it was his hope to have a decision made by February 26th and then leave the month of March for negotiation of a term-sheet and if it doesn't happen then the board will take that up and move on.

He said when they receive those, they will be able to send that to the Board via email. He said he believed that the 90-day window to give notice of termination for the current company, Complus, was up on February 5th, which fell before the next meeting. He said he did not believe that Complus provides all the components that the Village is looking for and we would now want to go from an annual agreement to a month to month agreement with Complus if we can. The Mayor and Trustees told Mr. Small to investigate providing notice now and going month-to-month until the application is up and running.
