Board of Trustees

Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 320 THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-NINTH REGULAR AGENDA MEETING Rutherford Hall Village Hall June 25, 2019 A Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Scarsdale was held in Rutherford Hall in Village Hall on Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at 8:00 P.M. Present were Mayor Samwick, Trustees Arest, Crandall, Ross, Veron, and Waldman. Also present were Village Manager Pappalardo, Deputy Village Manager Cole, Assistant Village Manager Richards, Village Attorney Sapienza-Martin, Village Treasurer McClure, Deputy Village Attorney Garrison, and Assistant to the Village Manager Ringel. ******** Before the commencement of the meeting, Mayor Samwick stated that the Board would like to vote to amend the agenda to add an item to refer the Butler Field Lights to the Planning Board. Motion so moved by Trustee Crandall, seconded by Trustee Arest, and carried unanimously. ******** The minutes of the Board of Trustees Regular Meeting of Tuesday, June 11, 2019 were approved on a motion entered by Trustee Ross, seconded by Trustee Crandall and carried unanimously. ******** Bills & Payroll Trustee Waldman reported that she had audited the Abstract of Claims dated June 25, 2019 in the amount of $1,281,786.18 which includes $44,993.35 in Library Claims previously audited by a Trustee of the Library Board which were found to be in order and she moved that such payment be ratified. Upon motion duly made by Trustee Waldman and seconded by Trustee Crandall, the following resolution was adopted unanimously: RESOLVED, that the Abstract of Claims dated June 25, 2019 in the amount of $1,282,786.18 is hereby approved. Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 321 ******** Mayor’s Comments Mayor Samwick stated that there are four items he would like to mention this evening: “The first is the Grievance Day which was June 18th. As of the close of Grievance Day, there were 635 grievance filings as compared to 552 grievances filings in 2018 and 709 filed in 2017. It is not surprising to see an uptick in grievance filings relative to 2018 given the adjustment to the real estate market resulting from the State and local tax deduction limit that was part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Assessment Review Board will be reviewing grievances over the summer and will make their determinations by September 15th. That is when the final Assessment Roll is certified and filed. As Board of Assessment Review member Bob Berg conveyed to Scarsdale 10583, and I quote, “These meetings are quasi-judicial in nature and are not open to the public. If a resident is dissatisfied with the decision of the Board of Assessment Review, the resident may appeal to the Small Claims Assessment Review court or to the Supreme Court within 30 days.” We thank the Board of Assessment Review, the Acting Assessor and the Assessor’s office for their diligent and professional work assisting property owners with their grievance filings. I also have an update on the Freightway Project. Village staff and the Board are pleased to announce that the Freightway Request for Proposals (RFP) was released on Wednesday to six of the Respondents to the Freightway RFEI. The RFP is now publicly available on the Village website. Responses to the RFP are due by September 16, 2019 and we expect to hold the next public meeting on Freightway in October. In the meantime, the Board and staff remain available to address your questions and comments about the Freightway project. The next item is in regard to an alleged incident yesterday. Scarsdale Police received a phone call regarding an alleged Anti-Semitic incident at a store in the Village Center. The Police encouraged the caller to come to Police Headquarters to file a report and the Police Department is investigating the incident. The Village Board strongly condemns this type of action, which is not indicative of the greater Scarsdale community, as we all know, but we cannot control the actions of individuals. We will continue to treat this potential event seriously and will report to the community in the event information becomes available that residents should be aware of. Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 322 The next item is Butler Field lights. The Village owns the land under Butler Field and has leased the property to the School District for nearly a century. In that time, the two Boards have worked collaboratively to improve the field for the use and enjoyment of the School District and the Village at large. Last Monday evening, the Board met in executive session to: (i) discuss the School District’s proposal to install lights on Butler Field, (ii) review materials provided by the School District and Village staff, and (iii) to obtain legal counsel. Last Wednesday evening, the Board of Education and the Village Board held a joint meeting with the community to discuss this matter. The Athletic Director of the School District, Ray Pappalardi, provided the Village Board and the community with a thorough description of the proposed project and the extensive community outreach that the School District has performed to address neighbor concerns over the last 8 months. The Village Board recognizes that there is widespread community support for this project and appreciates the work of Maroon & White and its volunteers and donors for their generous investment of time and funds in support of the betterment of Scarsdale. The Village Board has expressed its conceptual support for the Butler Field lights project and its appreciation for the extensive community outreach performed by the School District. This evening the Board will vote on referring the Butler Field Lights project to the Planning Board for its review and recommendation. This referral is consistent with approaches that the Village and School Boards have taken in the past with a constructive outcome for the community. A recent example of collaboration between the School and Village Boards serves as a good template of an effective process that yielded a positive result for all parties. In 2016, the Planning Board reviewed and issued recommendations for the school bus parking lot renovation and expansion project. This is a somewhat analogous situation in that the Village leases land to the School District and neighboring property owners had concerns that were successfully heard and largely mitigated. In that instance, a collaborative review by the School and Village Boards, including referral of the project to the Planning Board for its review and recommendation, yielded a superior outcome for the project and nearby neighbors. This partnership model is expected to serve the community well as we address the Butler Field lights project. The Village Board looks forward to hearing from you as we continue our review of this project. The Village Board appreciates the Advisory Council on Parks and Recreation’s comments on the potential benefits of the Butler Field lights at a meeting that was held earlier this evening. Thank you to the PRC, for your thoughtful approach to this project and Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 323 for all the work you do to enhance community involvement, activity and wellness on a regular basis. And lastly I’d like to conclude with an announcement. I will be holding a coffee with the Mayor at Starbucks in the Village Center on Wednesday, tomorrow, from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm. I encourage people to stop in to discuss matters that are important to them or to just say hello. The Trustees are working on scheduling a Tea with the Trustees over the summer and I will have my next informal gathering with the Mayor in September. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening between 6:30 pm -8:00 pm at the Starbucks in the Village Center. ******** Manager’s Comments Village Manager Pappalardo introduced guests that are present this evening from Metro North Railroad. Metro North is planning to make some improvements to the train station relative to accessibility. They will give a brief power point presentation regarding the project and will answer any questions the Board may have, and, at the Mayor’s prerogative, the public as well. With us this evening is Mari Miceli, Director of Facilities and Special Projects in Capital Engineering, Ziona Rubin, a professional engineer and the Deputy Director of Special Projects, Capital Engineering, and Mark Mannix, Senior Director for Corporate and Public Affairs for Metro North. Mr. Mannix stated that he and his team are present this evening to inform the Village of an upcoming project to improve accessibility at Scarsdale’s train station, making it wheelchair accessible. The east side of the station is currently accessible as there is an elevator present that was installed in the early 1990’s. The plan is to install an elevator on the west side, which is the side going into Grand Central terminal. The project will be done in two phases. The upcoming project will be to install an elevator. Later work done in a second phase will be to construct platform replacements. The reason for the phasing is that they have a tremendous amount of work taking place in Metro North’s territory. Work is also being phased at the Hartsdale Station. Mr. Mannix explained that the elevator being constructed is on Village property, so Metro North has to work with the Village to obtain access to this property. The next phase of work will be completing the station platform and canopy replacement work and that is proposed in their next program which runs from 2020 through 2024. He then turned the presentation over to Ziona Rubin. Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 324 Ms. Rubin explained the project, stating that the first phase is the construction of an elevator, an elevator machine room, and a communication room in the inbound side just behind the platform. There will be a new sidewalk and curb cut in order to enable wheelchair access to it. Additionally, there will be new amenities on the overpass. Other scope of the work will include jacking of the existing overpass in order to enable trains to operate safely. Ms. Rubin continued, stating that the next capital plan will include the second phase which is the wholesale replacement of platforms with heated platforms, new canopies, PA system, customer information displays, security cameras, benches and heated shelters. For the first phase of the project they are looking to complete the design by the third quarter of 2019. The next step will be to procure a contractor to perform the work, which will be up to the end of this year and awarding the construction contract in the beginning of the next quarter and then completed within 20 months. Plans and renderings were presented to indicate the proposed work. They are hoping to stage the materials on property owned by the Westchester County Parks Department and are in discussion with them about this. Ms. Rubin also presented pictures of the existing site. Trustee Veron noted that construction will occur where bikes are currently parked and asked what measures will be taken so that bikes may continue to be parked in that area. Ms. Rubin responded that they will be speaking with the Westchester County Parks Department to request the construction of another area of motorcycle and bicycle parking on the other side of the existing fence where it is now. Trustee Arest questioned the legal framework as to how the Village proceeds since it is Village land. He asked if a resolution was required. Village Attorney Martin stated that a resolution would be required for any conveyance of property rights. She stated that she conferred with an attorney from Metro North and they have not yet made any proposal as to what kind of conveyance they may require. Trustee Crandall asked about access for the commuters during construction. Ms. Rubin stated that most of the work should not hinder access but when jacking of the overpass is being done, in order to do so in a safe manner, it can only be done on Friday nights when no trains are running. At that point the station will be closed; no one will be walking in the station area. Otherwise, the overpass will be open. Trustee Crandall stated that a number of Scarsdale residents also use the Hartsdale station and asked Ms. Rubin to tell the Board about the work they are doing there and the likely timetable. Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 325 Ms. Rubin stated that the Hartsdale Station work will be on a similar timetable. In Hartsdale two new elevators will be installed and the associated machine rooms. Ms. Miceli stated that another impact to customer service will occur when they erect the elevator tower. That has to be done on a weekend. Ms. Rubin noted that the customer service department will take care of any customer notifications. The Village will also be kept informed. Trustee Crandall asked what kind of noise people should expect. Ms. Rubin stated that the only operations that may be noisy is when the elevator area is excavated. This is done during the day during normal work hours. Trustee Veron asked why the construction period is estimated for 20 months. Ms. Rubin responded that they need a contractor to submit all his paperwork and insurance which takes a couple of months. More than that is the long lead time to get the elevator equipment. That can take six months or more. Trustee Arest asked if the elevator was prefabricated and just delivered. Ms. Miceli stated that they typically do that but it depends on the contractor’s means and methods. The elevator crew then comes in and builds the cabin and hydraulics, etc. There will be some welding but it is less costly for them to construct the tower off site. Village Manager Pappalardo asked at what stage do they consider construction commencing – is that when they are out to bid for the work, or is that when you have a shovel in the ground. Ms. Rubin stated that the award is in the first quarter of 2020; she does not see it starting before the second quarter - spring or summer of 2020. Regarding any work that will inconvenience residents, Ms. Miceli stated that it will be pretty much one weekend for the bridge jacking and one weekend for the elevator. Trustee Veron asked about parking for the construction workers, noting that the Village has high demand for parking spaces in the Village Center. Ms. Rubin stated that she was thinking of asking the contractor to arrange for that. Metro North will arrange for the staging of the materials, but as far as their parking, she believed that they should do it directly. Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 326 Village Manager Pappalardo stated that depending on how much room Metro North has for staging and parking, the Village has allowed for parking in the Village Hall lot with the proviso that the contractor to park their cars and take one car down to the Village Center. If they want to use Village parking spaces they will have to pay for them. Ms. Rubin stated that the onus is always on the contractor to make provisions to either bus the workers in or provide parking for them. Metro North does not get involved in that. It was noted that the work will not impact the train schedule. Mayor Samwick thanked the Metro North representatives for their presentation and also thanked them for investing in Scarsdale’s train station and everyone looks forward to the benefits of it. ******** Public Hearing Mayor Samwick stated that the first public hearing is to consider the submission of an application for a Westchester County Community Development Block Grant to fund upgrades to the Girl Scout House located at 37 Wayside Lane. He asked for any comments at this time. Carol Silverman, Spier Road, Chair of the Advisory Council on Scarsdale Senior Citizens, stated that the Council has written a letter of support of this Community Development Block Grant application for upgrades to the Girl Scout House. Many senior programs are held at this venue, as well as the PRC, the Chinese Grandparent Club, the Scarsdale Art Association, Scarsdale Family Counseling Service, and other organizations. As there were no further comments, Mayor Samwick closed the public hearing. He noted that typically the Village Board does not vote on a matter held as a public hearing the same night; however, on administrative matters and matters such as this, where it expedites the process and hopefully then receipt of funds, this is the type of situation where the Board will vote on the same evening. He asked Trustee Veron to read the resolution regarding this matter. Trustee Veron thanked the Village staff for seeking grants in order to better the community and be fiscally responsible to serve a variety of segments of the population including our seniors. Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 327 Upon Motion by Trustee Veron, and seconded by Trustee Ross, the following resolution regarding an Application for Community Development Block Grant – Upgrade to the Girl Scout House was approved by the vote indicated below: WHEREAS, The Village of Scarsdale (“Village”) has been a member of the Westchester Urban County Consortium since its inception in 1976, which is the agency responsible for managing, planning, and coordinating the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG); and WHEREAS, Scarsdale’s participation over the years has been beneficial to numerous communities involved in the Westchester Consortium through inclusion of our community’s housing and population figures in HUD’s calculations and resulting funding allocation determinations; and WHEREAS, the Village owns certain real property known as 37 Wayside Lane (“Premises”), which is an improved structure, identified on the Village of Scarsdale Tax Map as Section 04, Block 04, Lot 503; and WHEREAS, in 1981 the Village of Scarsdale granted permission to the Girl Scouts of Westchester-Putnam, Inc. to construct the Girl Scout House within Butler Field in Scarsdale; and WHEREAS, the Village of Scarsdale utilizes the Girl Scout House for Senior Citizens Programs, Village art activities and exhibits, and other appropriate Village activities pursuant to a long-standing lease agreement with the Girl Scouts of Westchester-Putnam, Inc; and WHEREAS, certain improvements to the Girl Scout House are currently necessary, including replacement of all the windows, doors and radiators; installation of a new roof and demolition of the first floor kitchen with an estimated total project cost of $114,000; and WHEREAS, the Village is desirous of submitting an application to the Westchester County Department of Planning for CDBG funds to support this project in the amount of $114,000 inclusive of a 50% Village match, which may be offset, in part, through in-kind services; and WHEREAS, the Village Board of Trustees conducted a public hearing on June 25, 2019, to consider the submission for the Community Development Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 328 Block Grant for the upgrade to the Girl Scout House; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the Village Board of Trustees hereby authorizes the Village Manager to submit a CDBG application to the Westchester County Department of Planning for Upgrades to the Girl Scout House Project in substantially the same form attached hereto, and in the event of a successful grant application, to perform all necessary administrative acts associated with execution of the CDBG contract and subsequent authorization of the necessary work at Girl Scout House.

He then once again asked Trustee Veron to move out of order and address the resolution related to this matter. Upon motion entered by Trustee Veron and seconded by Trustee Crandall, the following resolution regarding an Application for Community Development Block Grant – Village Hall Elevator was approved by the vote indicated below: WHEREAS, The Village of Scarsdale (“Village”) has been a member of the Westchester Urban County Consortium since its inception in 1976, which is the agency responsible for managing, planning, and coordinating the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG); and WHEREAS, Scarsdale’s participation over the years has been beneficial to numerous communities involved in the Westchester Consortium through inclusion of our community’s housing and population Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 329 figures in HUD’s calculations and resulting funding allocation determinations; and WHEREAS, the Village owns certain real property known as 1001 Post Road (“Premises”), which is improved with a municipal structure, identified on the Village of Scarsdale Tax Map as Section 03, Block 01, Lot 1; and WHEREAS, the subject property has been owned by the Village since 1919 and is used as a municipal building where residents and visitors of the Village of Scarsdale gather to obtain vital services and attend important meetings; and WHEREAS, certain improvements to the Village Hall Elevator are currently necessary, including the installation of the following: a new car door; electronic protective device; microprocessor-based control system; appropriate field pipe and accessories; and a hydraulic power unit; and WHEREAS, the Village is desirous of submitting an application to the Westchester County Department of Planning for CDBG funds to support this project in the amount of $142,000 inclusive of a 50% Village match, which may be offset, in part, through in-kind services; and WHEREAS, the Village Board of Trustees conducted a public hearing on June 25, 2019, to consider the submission of the Community Development Block Grant for the Village Hall elevator replacement to the County of Westchester Planning Department; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the Village Board of Trustees hereby authorizes the Village Manager to submit a CDBG application to the Westchester County Department of Planning for Upgrades to the Village Hall Elevator in substantially the same form attached hereto, and in the event of a successful grant application, to perform all necessary administrative acts associated with execution of the CDBG contract and subsequent authorization of the necessary work to the Village Hall Elevator. AYES NAYS ABSENT Trustee Arest None Trustee Lewis Trustee Crandall Trustee Ross Trustee Veron Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 330 Trustee Waldman Mayor Samwick ******** Public Comments Robert Harrison, 65 Fox Meadow Road, speaking as the 35-year Director of the Scarsdale Youth Tennis League. He noted that on the Board’s agenda this evening is a resolution awarding contracts for tennis court crack repair and resurfacing. He strongly endorsed keeping the tennis courts up to date and in good shape. He stated that he hoped that any crack repair and resurfacing would take place in August so as not to interfere with the tennis program this summer at the Scarsdale Middle School. He urged the Village Manager to direct the Recreation Department or other responsible party to not do any resurfacing or repair to the Scarsdale Middle School tennis courts in July. He noted that information regarding the summer youth tennis league is available at the Recreation Department. The program begins on Monday, July 15th at the Scarsdale Middle School courts. For more information, he can be contacted at 914-646-4054 or at his email address, proscars@aol.com. Michael Rubin, 33 Crossway, stated that Trustee Crandall asked an interesting question of the MTA representatives that were here this evening regarding noise during the construction period. He asked the Board to consider changing the Village Code Section 205, Noise to exclude construction noise on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. He also requested that the Village Manager, under Section 205-2(c) of the Scarsdale Village Code, who has the authority to issue rules and regulations and promulgate on procedures applicable to the use of outdoor power tools and construction activity with the permission of the Board of Trustees which can, in his opinion, prohibit the construction of homes, except in emergency cases, on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. He submitted his request in writing to the Village Board; this details his suggestions as to how the Village could approach the matter. As no further comments were offered, the Mayor closed the Public Comment portion of the meeting. ******** Trustee Liaison Reports Trustee Veron gave a library update, stating that the library continues to perform its vital work and continues to find opportunities to support the community during the library construction process. The library’s longer summer hours have begun now that the fields are not in use. The hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday 9 am to 1 pm. Library staff also assisted at the Scarsdale High School library during study periods. The librarians for children are also providing story time for the Kindergarten group at the Village Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 331 Recreation camp every Monday during the month on July. Library Director Bermel underscored that this is a great way to reach the kids that they otherwise don’t see during the summer. There will be an update from the library at the Board’s July 9th meeting to hear more about the construction project process. Trustee Veron next reported on behalf of the Scarsdale Arts Advisory Council, stating that they met on June 18th to discuss plans for a new fall event that will be taking place in the Village Center and it will be called ‘Scarchella’ where local bands will perform for community enjoyment. They will be working in concert with the Scarsdale Business Alliance. Trustee Veron next gave a parking update concerning the Village Center. In the Village’s continuing effort to meet the parking needs of the community, the Village is removing the requirement for permits for the spaces on East Parkway, center-island between Christie Place and the Merchant’s lot. Now any resident, merchant or parker may use those spaces free of any permits for an 8 hour period. She also announced that the Pango application, pay by phone app for parking meters has been rolled out in the Village Center. You can download the app and start using – go to mypango.com and sign up or use a downloadable Pango smartphone application. FAQ’s are on the table outside Rutherford Hall and are also posted online at www.scarsdale.com She highlighted two of the FAQ’s so residents can hear directly two important questions that come up regularly. First, how does the parking enforcement officer know that I paid through Pango when the parking meter is blinking red? When you pay through Pango, your license plate number is registered in the Pango secure database as paid for the appropriate amount of time for that parking zone number. When the parking enforcement officer enters your license plate number, they receive a notification that you have paid. The parking meter will continue to blink red when you pay with Pango; however, payment will be registered with the parking enforcement officer. Second, can I continue to use coins at the parking meter? Yes, you can continue to use coins at the parking meter. Motorists can either use the pay by phone app or pay the parking meter by inserting coins. Trustee Veron stated that there is more information online. She gave tremendous thanks to Assistant Village Manager Richards for all of her work. ******** Trustee Arest stated that “one of the bigger honors I have had while serving in this role has been the appointment of Police Commissioner. It has only reinforced my admiration for our Police Department and our Police Chief Andrew Matturro in particular. Last night the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and I attended a preview to the department’s CRASE course at police headquarters. CRASE stands for Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events and is unfortunately evidence of the new world that we live in. The program discusses previous active shooter events, what law enforcement has been able to learn from these tragedies, and what we as residents should know. One of my biggest Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 332 takeaways is that despite how difficult it may be to accept this can happen anywhere, we must take these risks seriously and be ready. Our minds are not as effective in a crisis and having a plan in place truly makes us safer. I am not going to do this training justice in a quick summary but I did want to give a little information as I am so grateful that our department is undertaking this important training. When this program is ready to be rolled out we will work with our Communications Council and local media to urge all residents to participate. I think we take comfort that our police force spends considerable time training and planning for all risks that might affect our families but this takes their commitment to our safety to a new level, and I believe a needed one. Due to the randomness of such events, teaching and training the community how to react if something was to happen might be one of the best ways to keep us safer. Thank you.” Mayor Samwick stated that having attended that event last night, he echoed Trustee Arest’s comments. ******** Trustee Arest Upon motion entered by Trustee Arest, and seconded by Trustee Veron, the following resolution regarding Authorization to Amend the FY 2019-2020 Adopted Budget to Appropriate Additional Capital Funding for Road Resurfacing was approved by the vote indicated below: WHEREAS, the adopted FY 2019-2020 Budget includes $221,000 in Capital Budget revenues not presently allocated to a specific capital project; and WHEREAS, pursuant to results of the annual audit, the Village Board has historically transferred year-end closeout unrestricted General Fund balance to the Capital Budget to facilitate additional road resurfacing, having tentatively planned to appropriate up to $500,000 of such funding at time of the audited FY 2018-2019 close-out later this year, if available and prudent; and WHEREAS, staff recommends that the $221,000 in unallocated Capital Budget revenues presently available be directed by the Village Board to fund additional road resurfacing, thereby making more money available for that purpose prior to the year-end closeout, which may also potentially serve to reduce pressure on the General Fund unrestricted fund balance by decreasing the anticipated $500,000 FY 2018-2019 year-end closeout transfer for road resurfacing; now, therefore, be it Village Board of Trustees 06/25/2019 333 RESOLVED, that the Village Board hereby amends the FY 2019-2020 Budget to increase the Capital Project Account for Road Milling and Paving from $303,400 to $524,400, representing an increase of $221,000, which is derived from existing, unallocated FY 2019-2020 Capital Budget revenues; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Village Treasurer is authorized and directed to take the necessary steps to amend the adopted FY 2019-2020 Budget, including allocating $221,000 to the Road Milling and Paving line of the Capital Budget. AYES NAYS ABSENT Trustee Arest None Trustee Lewis Trustee Crandall Trustee Ross Trustee Veron Trustee Waldman Mayor Samwick ******** Trustee Arest explained that the following local law is to amend Section 81 of the Village Code, specifically there is a removal of the Special Policeman provision and also a change where the fees for private duty assignments which was currently the average hourly rate of police officers plus 20%, an approximation for fringe benefits, will now be the actual amount to make sure the Village is made whole. This was a resolution that he spoke about on May 28, 2019, followed by a public hearing on June 11, 2019. This was not voted on the same night as the public hearing and is now before the Board for approval. Upon motion entered by Trustee Arest, and seconded by Trustee Crandall, the following Local Law #4, 2019, a Local Law Amending Chapter 81 of the Scarsdale Village Code Entitled Police Department was adopted by the vote indicated below: INTRODUCTORY LOCAL LAW #4 OF 2019 A LOCAL LAW AMENDING CHAPTER 81 OF THE SCARSDALE VILLAGE CODE ENTITLED POLICE DEPARTMENT BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Scarsdale as follows: § 81-1.
