CONSULTANT REPORT
Mr. Briar discussed the following matters during his report:
Phase 2: The FEMA application has been submitted.
Phase 3: A site design/plan presentation will be delivered by Sage and Coombe at the next Board
of Trustees work session in November. An executive summary will be prepared for the benefit of
the Corporation’s Board of Directors. There have been a few meetings with Ecogy so they can
finalize their solar array design and a call is scheduled for Wednesday, October 19, 2022 to discuss
the lease. On that same date, there will be a pre-construction meeting with Con Edison for
electrical infrastructure (i.e. three phase electric into the East Parcel).

Phase 4 (Bridge): Metro North has preliminarily approved the bridge design, subject to conditions,
such as completion of the acquisition of air rights from Metro North and the assumption by the
Village of all costs related to its maintenance and operation. The Corporation may wish to consider
the selection of a designer as the incentive package from NYS DOT has a project timeline.
193 Beekman/1 Pleasant: The Corporation received two quotes for demolition. Sessler’s quote
for demolition services was $75,000 less than the next responsible proposer. Sessler’s quote had
some items that were excluded so they will be amending their submission for demolition work.
