HERE, VILLAGE ATTORNEY WHITEHEAD.
[IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
IS, UM, APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR FEBRUARY 4TH, 2025.AND FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR FEBRUARY 10TH, 2025.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, EDITS OF ANY KIND? IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
GENERAL FUND APPROVAL OF WARRANTS
[V. APPROVAL OF WARRANTS]

AND PROFESSIONAL ESCROW TT $4,135 AND 33 CENTS.
[VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
THAT'S GONNA BE RIGHT.IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD? A GOOD EVENING.
JIM METZKER, 4 27 WAR BURTON AVENUE.
UM, ON A NOTE, ANYBODY WHO HAS NOT BEEN DOWN TO SEE THE ART DOWNSTAIRS IN, IN THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING, UM, IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE SHOW.
I RECOMMEND EVERYBODY COME SEE EDWARD BEAR MILLER'S ART.
UM, I HAVE A COMMENT AND I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT SCHEDULING MEETINGS, UH, OR HEARINGS ABOUT UNSAFE BUILDINGS.
I HAD A QUICK COMMENT ABOUT THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS PUBLISHED.
SOMETHING YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT BEFORE THE MEETING IN SECTION 1 0 6 DASH THREE, ITEM 13.
UM, IN DESCRIBING WHAT BUILDINGS ARE CONSIDERED UNSAFE, IT SAYS THOSE BUILDINGS ARE STRUCTURES EXISTING IN VIOLATION OF ANY PROVISION OF THE UNIFORM CODE, THE ENERGY CODE, THE FIRE CODE, THE P-M-C-N-Y-S OR THE VILLAGE CODE WOULD BE CONSIDERED, UH, UNSAFE.
THAT MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED UPON BECAUSE AS AN ARCHITECT, WHEN WE WORK WITH CODES, THE AGE OF THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM, WILL BE SUBJECT TO DIFFERENT YEARS CODES.
SO IF YOU HAVE A BUILDING, LET'S SAY LIKE I DO HAVE A HOUSE THAT'S OVER 110 YEARS OLD, THEREABOUTS, UM, I WOULD BE SUBJECT TO A DIFFERENT CODE IF I HAVEN'T DONE WORK TO THAT BUILDING THAN WOULD BE IF I HAD A NEWER BUILDING.
SO TO JUST SAY SOMETHING IS NOT COMPLYING WITH CODE DOES NOT REALLY SPECIFY WHAT CODE THAT NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH.
AND SO THAT, THAT COULD BE A LOT OF CONSIDERATION.
UM, I DID HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK.
I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA BE DISCUSSING THE RESOLUTION ON THE PARKING AND I'M GLAD TO SEE IT LOOKS LIKE THINGS HAVE GONE BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE, WHICH SEEMED TO BE WORKING FOR THE RESIDENTS.
UM, AND HOPEFULLY THE DPW WAS ABLE TO GET ALL OF THEIR ISSUES WORKED OUT.
SO I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE'RE BACK TO THAT.
UM, AND THEN AGAIN, I HAVE THE QUESTION, ARE WE GONNA BE GETTING NEW SIGNS? ARE THEY PUTTING UP THE OLD SIGNS? 'CAUSE I STILL HAD AN OUTSTANDING QUESTION ABOUT HOW THE PREVIOUS RESOLUTION WAS, UH, WAS THOUGHT ABOUT APPROVED.
NEW SIGNS WERE INSTALLED BEFORE WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE PUBLIC MEETING, SO I'M STILL A LITTLE BIT DISTURBED THAT THAT HAPPENED, BUT I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE'RE ALL BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD? UH, MOVING ON
[VII. RESOLUTIONS]
TO RESOLUTIONS.SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LOCAL LAW B OF 25, A LOCAL LAW AMENDING THE HASTINGS ON HUDSON VILLAGE CODE TO UPDATE CHAPTER 1 0 6 OF THE BUILDINGS UNSAFE.
RESOLVE THAT THE MARIN BOARD OF TRUSTEES SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 4TH, 2025 AT 7:00 PM OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER TO CONSIDER PROPOSED LOCAL LAW B OF 2025, A LOCAL LAW AMENDING THE HASTINGS ON HUDSON VILLAGE CODE TO UPDATE CHAPTER 1 0 6 BUILDINGS UNSAFE.
WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.
UM, AND YOU HAVE THE MATERIAL SENT BY OUR ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY WHITEHEAD, DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE WE, UM, MAKE A MOTION
[00:05:01]
TO SCHEDULE THE HEARING? WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT.I MEAN, ON, ON THE COMMENT THAT, UM, WAS JUST MADE, UM, WE COULD PROBABLY REVISE THAT SECTION TO SAY EXISTING IN VIOLATION OF ANY PROVISION OF THE RELEVANT VERSION OF YEAH.
SO WE WILL MAKE THAT CHANGE, BUT WE CAN STILL SCHEDULE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
THIS IS THE TIME TO MAKE CHANGES
UM, AND THEN THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING THAT CAME UP THAT THE, UM, VILLAGE MANAGER REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT THIS AFTERNOON.
UM, IN 1 0 6 DASH SEVEN, UM, THE PROVISION FOR HAVING A SURVEY DONE.
SO REMEMBER THIS STARTS WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTOR, DETERMINING THAT A BUILDING IS UNSAFE, SENDING OUT A NOTICE, AND THEN IF THE NOTICE IS DISREGARDED AND NOTHING IS DONE, THE NEXT STEP IS FOR YOUR BOARD TO, UM, CAUSE A SURVEY TO BE MADE OF THE SUBJECT UNSAFE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE.
SO WE HAVE PROVIDED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DESIGNATES THE BUILDING INSPECTOR AND THE FIRE INSPECTOR TO PERFORM THAT SURVEY.
UM, AND THE QUESTION THAT CAME UP WAS WHETHER IF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR IS ALREADY THE ONE WHO'S DESIGNATED IT AS UNSAFE, HE SHOULD ALSO BE THE ONE, UM, UNDERTAKING THE SURVEY.
UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT SOME MUNICIPALITIES DO DESIGNATE THE BUILDING INSPECTOR AND THE VILLAGE ENGINEER.
WE HAD A PRIOR DRAFT THAT SAID THAT THE, UM, BOARD OF TRUSTEES WOULD DESIGNATE ONE OFFICIAL OF THE VILLAGE AND ONE BUILDER ENGINEER OR ARCHITECT FROM THE VILLAGE.
UM, BACK TO ONE OF THOSE, OR A COMBINATION OF THOSE, UM, I THINK MAYBE IT COULD BE KEEP THE FIRE INSPECTOR, UM, BUT MAYBE ADD, YOU KNOW, AN ARCHITECT OR ENGINEER.
UM, AND THEN WHAT WE HAD TAKEN OUT, BECAUSE IT WAS THE BUILDING INSPECTOR AND FIRE INSPECTOR, THERE WAS ALSO A PROVISION, UM, THAT THAT THIRD PARTY WAS NOT A VILLAGE EMPLOYEE OR OFFICIAL COULD GET PAID FOR DOING THAT.
THAT WAS MY QUESTION ARE, ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT ARE HIRING A THIRD PARTY AND MAYBE JUST BRINGING THEM AS NEEDED? YEAH.
SO IT WOULD BE, YOU WOULD BE DESIGNATING THEM FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
SO YES, WE'VE SEEN IT IT BOTH WAYS.
EACH TIME THAT THERE'S AN INSTANCE, IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT PERSON.
SO WE HAVE TO CREATE A LIST OR NO, I THINK IT'S MORE, IT HAS TO BE A, A LICENSED ENGINEER OR REGISTERED ARCHITECT.
UM, IT, IT'S A MATTER OF WHETHER YOU WANT THE BUILDING INSPECTOR TO BE REVIEWING THE BUILDING INSPECTOR, YOU KNOW, WHAT HE ALREADY DETERMINED OR WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO BE A THIRD PARTY AND THEN HE'D BE SUBMITTING THE REPORT TO HIMSELF AS WELL.
I I, MY VIEW IS IT'S BETTER FROM A SORT OF PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS POINT OF VIEW IF IT'S A DIFFERENT PERSON THAN HIMSELF.
YEAH, THAT'S MY, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT VIEW.
BUT HE HAD ASKED US TO MAKE THIS CHANGE.
UM, SO SHOULD WE KEEP THE FIRE INSPECTOR AND THEN MAKE IT ONE, UM, ENG LICENSED ENGINEER OR REGISTERED ARCHITECT? YEAH, THANK YOU.
AND THEN PUT IN THE PROVISION THAT THAT THIRD PARTY IS ENTITLED TO PAYMENT.
SO WE'LL MAKE THAT CHANGE AND CIRCULATE IT.
UM, BUT NOT, NOT PAYMENT BY THE VILLAGE PAYMENT BY THE WHO'S PAYING, WHO'S PAYING THIS? WELL, THE, THE VILLAGE CAN ULTIMATELY, UM, CHARGE IT BACK ITS EXPENSES IF THEY HAVE TO.
THERE'S THIS PROVISION AS IF YOU READ ON YEAH, YEAH.
THAT, THAT PROVIDES THAT IT CAN EITHER BE, UM, PUT AS A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY AS, AS TAXES WOULD BE, OR, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN, YOU'RE THE VILLAGES EXPENSES IN COURT TO TRY TO, TO RECOVER THE, THE FUNDS, YOU KNOW, THAT THE VILLAGE HAS EXPENDED.
SO CAN YOU REFERENCE THAT THEN? MAYBE IT'S CLEAR ENOUGH, BUT YEP.
I'LL MAKE THE REVISION AND I'LL CIRCULATE IT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS SO THAT WE CAN FINALIZE PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ANY OTHER POINTS BY ANYONE? I THINK JIM JUST HAS ONE MORE.
THIS IS NOT WHAT WE NORMALLY DO, BUT WE'RE MAKING A HUGE EXCEPTION FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE AN ARCHITECT, YOU'RE A REGISTERED ARCHITECT IN THE VILLAGE.
I AM AN ARCHITECT AND IS WHAT I WANT TO ADDRESS.
IF YOU HIRE A THIRD PARTY ARCHITECT AND PAY THEM THERE, I'M ASSUMING WOULD BE AN ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY BY THAT ARCHITECT TO GO DO THIS SURVEY.
SO SOMETHING THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IS WHO ASSUMES THE LIABILITY
[00:10:01]
OF PROVIDING THAT SURVEY FOR THE VILLAGE.UM, BECAUSE I KNOW I CERTAINLY WANT TO, WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ON THE HOOK FOR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHO THAT I THINK THE IDEA OF AN INDEPENDENT PERSON'S GREAT, BUT YOU SHOULD DECIDE HOW THAT, HOW THAT GETS HANDLED.
OKAY, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AND WE'LL WE'LL GET SOMETHING BACK TO YOU.
I DON'T, UNLESS ANYBODY HAD ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON IT? NO.
IS THERE A MOTION TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOVED.
SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LOCAL LAW C OF 2025, A LOCAL LAW AMENDING CHAPTER 2 82 VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, ARTICLE NINE, PARKING, STANDING AND STOPPING OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF HASTINGS ON HUDSON TO AMEND ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING PROHIBITIONS.
RESOLVED THAT THE MARIN BOARD OF TRUSTEES SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING OR TUESDAY, MARCH 4TH, 2025 AT 7:00 PM OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER TO CONSIDER PROPOSED LOCAL LAW C OF 2025, A LOCAL LAW AMENDING CHAPTER 2 82 VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, ARTICLE NINE, PARKING, STANDING AND STOPPING OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF HASTINGS ON HUDSON TO AMEND ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING PROHIBITIONS.
UM, AS DISCUSSED, WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS FOR MULTIPLE WEEKS NOW, AND, UM, AGAIN, I THINK YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE REVISIONS PROPOSED.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE SCHEDULE THE PUBLIC HEARING FROM ANYONE? ANYTHING FROM YOU? UH, JUST SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS, THE FIRST PART THAT DELETES SOME OF THE SUBSECTIONS IN 2 82 24.
UM, THAT IS BECAUSE I SEE A TYPO.
UM, SOME OF THOSE ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE.
THEY'RE IN THE PARKING TIME, LIMITED AND DESIGNATED LOCATIONS, AND THEY ACTUALLY BELONG IN THE ALTERNATE SECTIONS.
UM, AND THEN THERE WERE, UM, A COUPLE OF THINGS WHERE WE CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY NO LONGER RELEVANT.
UM, LIKE, UH, WILLIAMS STREET WAS IN THERE AND THEY DO NOT, UM, SWEEP WILLIAMS STREET.
SO JUST SO YOU KNOW WHY WE, WE DELETED THOSE, BUT MOST OF THEM WENT BACK IN THE OTHER SECTION.
THEY'VE GONE TO THE RIGHT PLACE AND THEN, YEAH.
AND THEN, UM, WHAT WE'VE DED HERE NOW IS INDICATE TO YOU THE CHANGES IN ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS, UM, IN THE ALTERNATE PARKING SECTION.
WE HAVE NOT DEALT WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SECTIONS WHEN WE GET THROUGH THIS.
UM, WE'RE GONNA NEED TO SORT OF DEAL WITH THE PARKING PROHIBITED SECTION BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IN THERE THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED UP.
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, WE WANTED TO START JUST WITH GETTING THE ALTERNATE PARKING CLEANED UP.
ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? IS THERE A MOTION TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOVED.
12 OF 25 AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS AND CONTRACT EXTENSIONS WITH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR CONTRACT YEARS 2022 TO 23.
AND 24 TO 25 FOR SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL.
RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUTHORIZE THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO EXECUTE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS WITH NEW YORK STATE FOR CONTRACT YEARS 22, 23, 20, 23, 24, AND 24 25 FOR SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL AND FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEAR TERM FROM 24 TO 29 AS ATTACHED.
I THINK THIS IS FAIRLY SELF-EXPLANATORY AND I THINK YOU'VE SEEN THE AGREEMENT AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO, NOT EVERY YEAR, BUT WHEN THE CONTRACT'S DUE.
YEAH, THE LAST TIME I THINK 2019 OR 20 SOMETHING LIKE ANY, ANYTHING, ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE HAS? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD FOR MANAGER MURPHY? NO, JUST THIS IS JUST A, A MECHANISM BY WHICH THE STATE REIMBURSES US FOR THE, UH, SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL THAT WE DO ON STATE ROADS.
UM, IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
YOU'RE BOTH VERY BUSY TONIGHT.
AND THEY WE'RE TAKING TURNS AND THEY TAKING TURNS BOARD AND I SAID WE SHOULD JUST, OH, ANTHONY, JUST 1, 1, 1.
REFERRAL OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE.
RESOLVE THAT THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES REFER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE TO THE PLANNING BOARD, ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS, AND THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR ADVISORY REPORT.
WE DISCUSSED THIS AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING.
THIS IS FORMALIZING WHAT WE'VE AGREED TO DO.
AND THE NEW PLAN WILL BE PUT ON THE VILLAGE WEBSITE, I THINK IT'S CALLED PLAN HASTINGS IS THE SITE.
[00:15:01]
SO IT WILL BE PUT UP THERE FOR, UM, EVERYONE CAN BE REVIEWING IT AT THE SAME TIME AND AT THE NEXT MEETING WE WILL SCHEDULE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.SO I HOPE THAT'S CLEAR TO EVERYONE AND WE WENT THROUGH ALL THE STEPS THE LAST TIME, SO IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO REVIEW.
BUT I AM DYING FOR THIS TO BE COMPLETED.
ANY COMMENTS? SO WHEN WILL WE GO ON THE, THE NEWEST VERSION ON THE WEBSITE? I THINK IT'S THIS WEEK.
THEY'RE JUST FINISHING UP SOME FINAL REVISIONS.
YEAH, SO CAN SOME WE WILL, WE'LL NOTIFY EVERYONE.
SO THE, WE WILL BE NE WE WILL BE SCHEDULING THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE NEXT MEETING, BUT WE WILL NOTIFY PEOPLE NOW SO THEY HAVE EVEN MORE TIME TO BE ABLE TO, WE'LL SEND AN EMAIL OUT SO THAT THERE'S EVEN MORE TIME TO REVIEW THE PLAN THAN THEY WOULD HAVE AS A RESULT OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE A, WHAT WAS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE? THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT.
I THINK THAT THERE'S A MINIMUM AMOUNT, THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING YOU ALWAYS FOR REVIEWING IT, BUT BY THE COUNTY OR SOMETHING.
DIDN'T THEY HAVE WELL, THE COUNTY HAS 30 DAYS.
UM, YOU, BECAUSE OF NOTICE REQUIREMENTS, UH, YOU HAVE TO NOTICES 10 DAYS.
SO YOU TYPICALLY SCHEDULE, UM, PUBLIC HEARINGS AT LEAST TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE.
SOMETIMES, DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS, YOU HAVE TO DO IT FOUR WEEKS IN ADVANCE.
BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
BUT I THINK IT WILL IN EFFECT BE NOTIFICA.
I MEAN, IN A WAY WE NOTIFIED, NOT OFFICIALLY, BUT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING NOTIFICATION IN THE SENSE THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR THE LAST THREE OR FOUR MEETINGS.
SO IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
[VII. VILLAGE MANAGER’S REPORT]
NEXT ITEM IS THE VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROPOSED 25 TO 26 VILLAGE BUDGET.UM, I JUST WANTED TO, YOU ALL HAVE THE BUDGET, UH, AS WELL AS THE BUDGET BOOK, WHICH HAS ALL OF THE BACK UNIT AND, UH, THE CAPITAL PROPOSED CAPITAL BUDGET IS ALSO LOCATED UNDER ONE IN ONE OF THE TABS AT THE END THERE.
UM, AND I JUST, UM, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A BRIEF, VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW, OBVIOUSLY KNOW'S, HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW IT, AND WE'LL HAVE OUR WORK SESSIONS WHERE WE'LL GO INTO, YOU KNOW, DETAIL WITH REGARD TO EVERYTHING.
BUT, UM, THIS BUDGET, UH, YOU KNOW, THE GENERAL, THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET, UH, IS, UH, FOR OPERATIONS THAT TOTALS $19,310,812.
IT REFLECTS A, UH, $54,094 DECREASE IN APPROPRIATIONS.
UH, AT THE SPENDING LEVEL, THE TAX RATE WOULD BE 5.32%, WHICH IS A 25%, UH, DECREASE, OR A 4.5% DECREASE IN THE TAX RATE FROM LAST YEAR.
UH, THE TAX LEVY ITSELF HAS INCREASED BY 4%.
UM, IT IS COMPLIANT WITH THE TAX CAP BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE COMPUTATION IS DONE BASED ON, UH, THE ASSESSED VALUE OF THE VILLAGE.
AND, UM, THE ASSESSED VALUE, UH, IS THE ASSESSED VALUE THAT WAS PRESENTED ON THE TOWN OF GREENBURG ASSESSMENT ROLE.
UH, THERE ARE POTENTIALLY, UH, CHANGES IN THEM, USUALLY NOT, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT CHANGES BASED ON SMALL CLAIMS AND TERTIARY SETTLEMENTS.
UM, THIS, UH, THE OPERATIONAL BUDGET DOES NOT INCLUDE GRANT FUNDING, UH, FOR MANY PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE VILLAGE TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY, CONSTRUCT STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS, IMPROVE PARKS, CREATE SIDEWALKS, AND, UH, OTHER, OTHER PROJECTS.
IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE CAPITAL PURCHASES SUCH AS VEHICLES MACHINERIES.
UH, THESE ARE CONTAINED IN A, IN THE SEPARATE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL PLAN.
UM, THE BUDGET, UH, WAS CREATED WITH HELP FROM ALL OF THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND, UH, PARTICULARLY THE VILLAGE CLERK TREASURER AND THE DEPUTY TREASURER DIRECTOR OF, UH, IT, UH, WHO HAVE BEEN VERY INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.
AND I EXTEND MY SINCERE GRATITUDE, UH, FOR THEM.
WE ALSO CONSULT, UH, REACH OUT TO OUR CONSULTANTS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, UH, FOR ANY INPUT THEY MAY HAVE WITH REGARD TO THEIR, UM, FEES AND SERVICES.
THE LIBRARY FUNDING, UH, IN THIS BUDGET IS $1,184,392.
UH, MOST OF THE REVENUE STREAMS ARE FAIRLY FLAT OR AT, AT, UH, YOU KNOW, LEVEL SIMILAR TO THOSE THAT WE SAW IN 24 AND 25.
UH, WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN INTEREST EARNINGS AND,
[00:20:01]
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT I I, THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF DECREASE IN THE, UH, FEDERAL, UH, YOU KNOW, UM, INTEREST RATES OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR SO.BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, WE'LL WATCH THAT.
SO, BUT I THINK THAT WE EVEN, EVEN, EVEN IF THEY, YOU KNOW, DROP IT BY, YOU KNOW, 25 BASIS POINTS OR SOMETHING, I DON'T, I THINK THAT WE'LL STILL BE ABLE TO, TO, UH, EARN WHAT WE'VE PROPOSED IN, IN INTEREST INCREASES MORTGAGE TAX REVENUE, UH, HAS BEEN, UH, PROPOSED TO BE DECREASED, UM, TO REFLECT RECENT ACTUALS AND, AND MARKET ACTIVITY, UH, WITH REGARD TO APPROPRIATIONS.
UM, THEY'RE THERE TO PROVIDE OUR STAFF WITH THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES THAT THEY, THAT THEY NEED.
WE HAVE SOME REALLY, UM, STAFF HERE THAT HAVE, UH, LONG-TERM INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE VILLAGE AND, AND, UH, PROVIDE A LOT OF VALUE ADDED FROM THAT.
UM, THE, THE BUDGET MAINTAINS STAFFING AT THE CURRENT LEVEL AND PROVIDES FOR RECRUITMENT, UH, TO REPLACE ANYBODY THAT'S, UH, SEPARATES FROM RETI, FROM OR RETIRES FROM, UH, THE VILLAGE.
AND, UM, WE'VE INCLUDED SALARY INCREASES, UH, BASED ON OUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS FOR POLICE AND, UH, TEAMSTERS AND ALSO SALARY, SIMILAR SALARY INCREASES FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES.
UM, THE BUDGET INCLUDES FUNDING FOR PARKS, RECREATION PROGRAMS, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT AND AMBULANCE NEEDS, POLICE PROTECTION, ENGINEERING ASSISTANCE IN GRANT WRITING AND ADMINISTRATION, GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES, UH, SEWER MAINTENANCE, UH, STREET MAINTENANCE AND THINGS OF THE LIKE.
UM, AND AGAIN, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO EXTEND MY APPRECIATION TO THE VILLAGE CLERK TREASURER AND THE DEPUTY TREASURER TECHNOLOGY DIRECTOR FOR THEIR HELP IN CREATING THE BUDGET AS WELL AS, UH, THE, THE WHOLE, UH, TREASURY TREASURER TEAM.
AND, UM, WE LOOK FORWARD TO PRESENTING THE BUDGET AND DISCUSSING IT AT THE SCHEDULED WORK SESSIONS.
THOSE WORK SESSIONS ARE SCHEDULED FOR 5:00 PM IN THE OR ROOM ON MARCH 6TH, 11TH AND 13TH.
AND, UM, YEAH, SO WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE SOME, UH, VERY DETAILED DISCUSSIONS WITH REGARD TO THE BUDGET AT THAT TIME.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER RIGHTS THERE? THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO BRING TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION.
UM, I, I'VE SPOKEN TO YOU BEFORE ABOUT THE DEC OF, UM, COMMUNITY FOREST GRANT, THAT OPPORTUNITY THAT EXISTS, AND ALSO ABOUT THE AMERICAN FOREST GRANT THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED, THE AMERICAN FOREST GRANT THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED, WHICH WAS, UH, RESTRICTED TO CERTAIN AREAS IN THE VILLAGE.
WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY AMERICAN FORESTS THAT, THAT, UM, UH, THAT WE, THAT, THAT, THAT GRANT IS, IS, THEY DIDN'T CALL IT PAUSE, THEY ACTUALLY CALLED IT, UM, UH, UH, SUSPENDED.
SO, UM, AT THIS POINT WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE WE, UNTIL WE ARE FURTHER ADVISED FROM THEM THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON IT, WE WILL NOT BE MOVING FORWARD ON THAT GRANT.
BUT WE DO HAVE JUST, JUST REMIND EVERYONE THAT'S THE GRANT THAT WE SHARE WITH DOBBS FERRY AND IRVINGTON.
WE SHARE IT WITH DOBBS FERRY AND IRVINGTON, AND IT WOULD, IN OUR CASE, IT WOULD'VE COVERED, UM, PARTICULARLY, UH, RALLIES BRIDGE TRAIL AREA AND, UH, GOING UP INTO THE, UM, AREA OF, UH, QUARRY PARK AND, AND, UM, DRAPER PARK PARK.
SO, UM, THIS SECOND GRANT, WHICH I HAD, UH, MENTIONED TO, TO THE BOARD, UH, IN PASSING BEFORE, UM, IT SEEMS PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON THE, THE, THROUGH OUR, THROUGH OUR GRANT CONSULTANT, WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S PARTICULAR INTEREST IN HILLSIDE WOODS, WHICH HAD ORIGINALLY BEEN PART OF THE AMERICAN FOREST GRANT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE LOCATION DIDN'T FIT THEIR, THEIR CRITERIA.
UM, SO, UH, WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING ON, UM, LBS ECOLOGICAL, WHICH IS THE, UH, THE ARBORIST FOR FORESTRY, UH, PROFESSIONAL WHO HELPED US ORIGINALLY DO, UM, THE, THE SURVEY OF HILLSIDE WOODS AND MAKE THE ORIGINAL, UM, PROPOSALS THAT, THAT GOT US, YOU KNOW, THE FUNDING TO BUILD THE FENCE AND, AND, AND START SOME OF THE PROCESSES THAT WE ARE DOING.
SO HE'LL, UM, MIGUEL, UH, UH, BAR IS THE, THE PRINCIPAL THERE, AND HE'LL BE, UH, HE'S GONNA HELP WITH THE, UM, DRAFTING THE GRANT IS, REQUIRES A LOT OF VERY SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT THE PLAN, AND IT KIND OF COMES AT A REALLY GOOD TIME BECAUSE WE'VE JUST ABOUT EXPENDED OUR, OUR FUNDS THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY GOTTEN THROUGH, UM, UH, NOW ASSEMBLY WOMAN, MARY JAMES SHAMSKY, BUT AT THE TIME SHE WAS ON THE COUNTY BOARD OF LEGISLATORS AND ALSO
[00:25:01]
TOM ASSEMBLYMAN, TOM AMANTE, WHO WAS AT THAT TIME THE ASSEMBLYMAN.SO THIS WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF CONTINUE THAT WORK.
AND ALSO SINCE, UH, MIGUEL IS VERY, VERY WELL VERSED IN THE HILLSIDE WOODS SINCE HE'S ALREADY DONE, IT'S, IT'S KIND OF A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO, TO BRING HIM IN, UM, TO HELP WITH THE HELP WITH THE, YOU KNOW, THE SPECIFICS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THE DRAFTING OF THE GRANT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, ASSUMING THAT WE GET THE GRANT, AND EVEN WITH THE WORK THAT WE CAN STILL DO WITH THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE LEFT FROM THE PREVIOUS GRANT, UM, I THINK THAT, UH, HIS, HIS HELP CAN BE VERY, HIS WORK CAN BE VERY HELPFUL AND ALSO, UM, IT MAY LEAD US TO A RELATIONSHIP WHERE, WHICH WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH, WITH A, UM, AN ARBORIST.
AND, UH, IT MIGHT LEAD US INTO A RELATIONSHIP THAT WE COULD DEVELOP WITH HIM IN THAT REGARD FOR OTHER AREAS IN THE VILLAGE AS WELL.
SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE BRINGING, HE'S GONNA BE HELPING WITH THE GRANT, HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THE GRANT.
UM, BUT WE'LL ALSO BE TALKING TO HIM ABOUT, UH, OTHER ARBOR ARBORIST SERVICES IN THE VILLAGE AS WELL.
SORRY IF THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE LONG-WINDED THAN I INTENDED IT TO BE, BUT, UH, KIND OF BOUNCED AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
AND THAT'S, OTHER THAN THAT, I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER, UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING? NO.
[VIII. BOARD DISCUSSION AND COMMENTS]
SEGUES IN QUITE NICELY TO THE BOARD DISCUSSION ITEM.SO THE, THE FIRST ITEM IS SUMMARY OF NYCOM WINTER LEGISLATIVE MEETING.
AS I MENTIONED AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, THE MAIN TOPIC OF CONVERSATION WAS THE ORDER BY THE WHITE HOUSE, UM, BUDGET OFFICE TO PAUSE ON PAYMENTS OF TRILLIONS OF, OF DOLLARS OF FEDERAL GRANTS.
SO MOST SINCE, SINCE THE TIME OF THE NIKON MEETING, THAT HAS MOSTLY RESOLVED ITSELF EXCEPT IN A FEW CASES LIKE THE CASE OF THE FORESTRY GRANT.
UM, SO FOR US, WE BELIEVE THAT MOST OF OUR GRANTS WILL REMAIN UNAFFECTED.
UM, BUT, UH, MANY MUNICIPALITIES WERE VERY CONCERNED AND MANY OF THEM STOOD TO LOSE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, ESPECIALLY, UH, COMMUNITIES THAT HAD ECONOMIC JUSTICE AND CLIMATE JUSTICE, UM, POPULATIONS.
UM, THERE WAS LOTS OF OTHER DISCUSSIONS ABOUT FUNDING.
SO I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS THAT AIM FUNDING WAS INCREASED.
AIM, AIM IS BASIC FUNDING THAT MUNICIPALITIES GET.
WE GET ABOUT 60,000, I THINK 66,000 A YEAR, AND THERE WAS A TINY INCREASE LAST YEAR.
WE GOT $2,000 MORE THAN IN ALL OF THE 15 PRIOR YEARS.
SO IT HAD STAYED STAGNANT FOR 15 YEARS.
SO OF COURSE, WE'RE ASKING FOR ALL OF US AS MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS THAT ARE ASKING FOR THAT TO BE INCREASED AND TO INCREASE OTHER POCKETS OF MONEY.
SO CHIPS, MONEY, NEW YORK MONEY, UH, BRIDGE, NEW YORK MONEY, AND THE POP PROGRAM PROGRAM, WHICH IS PAVE OUR POTHOLE.
SO THERE'S A LITTLE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S ALLOCATED TO EACH MUNICIPALITY BASED ON POPULATION, AND THAT ALL ADDS UP, AND IT REALLY DOES HELP TO COVER BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS ALONG WITH THE MAIN SOURCE WE USE, WHICH IS BONDING MOSTLY FOR MOST OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT'S THAT KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE.
THERE WAS A CALL FOR MORE WATER AND SEWER, UM, FUNDING AND MORE MONEY TO GO INTO PROGRAMS LIKE, UM, NEW YORK FORWARD AND THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION INITIATIVE.
AND, UM, THE GOVERNOR INDICATED THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN HER BUDGET.
SO WE'LL SEE WHAT, YOU KNOW, AFTER ALL THE DEBATING WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING.
UM, THERE WAS, THERE WAS ALSO MONEY ALLOCATED FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE INFRASTRUCTURE AND, UM, QUITE A LOT OF MONEY THAT WENT INTO PROMOTING HOUSING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
SO, UH, MIXED INCOME REVOLVING LOAN FUND, MIDDLE AND, UH, LOW INCOME HOUSING CREDITS AND, UM, AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNER TAX INCENTIVES.
ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF INITIATIVES THAT THAT SORT OF PROMOTE, UM, PROMOTE HOUSING.
UM, AND THERE WERE A FEW OTHER, THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WERE VERY BIG CITY ITEMS, YOU KNOW, MIGRANT AID AND SUPPORT THAT DOESN'T, THAT DON'T REALLY AFFECT US.
UM, BUT, UH, THE, THE OTHER THING THAT CA THAT CAME UP THAT IS IN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET IS A ONE TIME INFLATION REFUND FOR, UM, FOR RESIDENTS.
THESE ARE SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT WILL BENEFIT RESIDENTS THAT ARE IN, IN THE BUDGET, UM, AND
[00:30:01]
A MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT.SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S AN ELECTION YEAR.
AND, UH,
UM, UH, SO REGARDLESS OF INCOME.
SO THOSE WERE THE MAIN ITEMS. UM, AND THE, I THINK YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE FROM NYCOM, AND I DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ IT BECAUSE, UM, IT'S VERY VALUABLE.
IT'S A GREAT ORGANIZATION AND, UM, QUITE A LOT OF THE ADVOCACY THAT WE'VE DONE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
UM, EVEN IF, YOU KNOW, THE AIM FUNDING IS ONE THAT WE ALWAYS MOAN ABOUT WHEN WE GET TOGETHER.
IT'S VERY, UH, IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING, BUT IT DOESN'T END UP BEING INCREASED IN THE SAME WAY AS SCHOOL FUNDING GETS INCREASED.
SO OURS HAS BEEN STAGNANT, BUT SCHOOL FUNDING HAS, HAS, UH, HAS RAISED, BEEN RAISED DRAMATICALLY.
UM, THE, THE NEXT THING ON OUR AGENDA IS THE ABODE FOUNDATION, TREE CITY USA DESIGNATION.
AND THIS IS REALLY THANKS TO OUR TEAM, ESPECIALLY OUR CLERK AND THE ASSISTANT TO THE VILLAGE MANAGER FOR SUBMITTING ALL THE DOCUMENTATION TO ENABLE TO US TO GET THIS DESIGNATION.
AGAIN, IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 30 YEARS.
IS IT 35 YEARS THIS YEAR, OR 39 YEARS? UM, I THINK WE'RE CLOSER TO 40.
AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WORTH REMINDING PEOPLE EVERY YEAR, AOR DAY TENDS, THERE'S A SPECIAL DAY IN APRIL WHERE WE DESIGNATE A, UH, UM, IT'S A DAY DESIGNATED TO PLANT TREES, BUT IT'S, UH, IT'S, IT'S QUITE, I THINK WE GOT THE GROWTH AWARD THIS YEAR, WHICH IS LIKE A, WE ALSO TO GET THE GROWTH AWARD.
ANOTHER, ANOTHER KIND OF LEVEL OF, UM, FABULOUSNESS ON OUR PART, UM,
SO, UM, SO THANKS TO THE TEAM FOR THAT.
AND, AND THEN THE FINAL ITEM IS THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING CODE FOR SUBDIVISION APPROVAL EXTENSIONS, UM, TO ALIGN WITH NEW YORK STATE CODE.
SO THIS IS A SORT OF PRO FORMA, UM, ACTION, WHICH IS ABOUT GETTING OUR CODE ALIGNED WITH THAT OF NEW YORK STATE, UM, AND ATTORNEY WHITEHEAD, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SAY SPECIFICALLY BEYOND THAT? JUST QUICKLY? SO, 10 PLUS YEARS AGO, THE NEW YORK STATE VILLAGE LAW, ACTUALLY I'M THE CITY LAW AND THE TOWN LAW, UM, PROVISIONS ON SUBDIVISIONS WERE AMENDED.
THIS IS THE ENABLING STATUTES THAT ALLOW, UM, PROVIDE SORT OF THE OUTLINE FOR YOUR LOCAL CODE ON SUBDIVISIONS.
IT WAS REVISED TO, UM, TAKE OUT THE LIMITATION ON EXTENSIONS.
IT USED TO BE THAT A FINAL SUB CONDITIONAL, FINAL SUBDIVISION APPROVAL WAS GOOD FOR 180 DAYS, AND AN APPLICANT COULD GET TWO 90 DAY EXTENSIONS.
AND IT USED TO BE LIMITED, LIKE THAT STATE LAW WAS AMENDED TO TAKE OUT THAT LIMITATION.
YOUR CODE STILL HAS THE LIMITATION TO TWO 90 DAY EXTENSIONS.
SO ALL WE'RE PROPOSING, AND, AND I'LL BE HONEST, THAT I CAN TELL YOU THAT MOST SUBDIVISIONS THESE DAYS END UP NEEDING EXTENSIONS JUST BECAUSE THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IS INCREDIBLY SLOW, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE CONDITIONS IS ALWAYS GETTING DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH APPROVAL.
UM, BUT, UM, SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT YOU JUST TAKE THAT LIMITATION OUT OF YOUR CODE AS IT'S BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE STATE CODE.
SO IT'S REALLY JUST AN AMENDMENT TO MATCH UP WITH, WITH THE STATE ENABLING STATUTES.
ANY QUESTIONS? I MEAN, I, I WENT THROUGH DOING THIS, UM, AT THE AMERICAN LEGION PROPERTY MM-HMM
LIKE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, I THINK, OR MAYBE RIGHT AROUND THE TIME.
AND IT WAS REALLY INTENSIVE, UH, THE PROCESS AND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WAS YEAH.
CHALLENGING AND THEY'VE GOTTEN WORSE.
BUT IT WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT IF WE JUST KNEW IT ALL UP FRONT.
WELL, YOUR, YOUR ENGINEER SLASH SURVEYOR SLASH ATTORNEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAP IT OUT FOR YOU.
SO WE'VE, WE'VE ACTUALLY, UM, SO WE RECENTLY UPDATED THE ZONING BOARD'S WEBSITE TO PROVIDE SOME MORE INFORMATION.
WE HAVE A DRAFT OF THE UPDATE FOR THE PLANNING BOARD.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MATTER OF HOW MUCH INFORMATION, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT, AT SORT OF ADDING SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROCESS IN THERE.
DON'T WE HAVE A CHECKLIST THAT PEOPLE GET WITH IT? NOT NECESSARILY, BUT THE PROCESS, THE PROCESS THAT TOM'S TALKED ABOUT ISN'T THE VILLAGE PROCESS SO
[00:35:01]
MUCH, IT'S WHAT HAPPENS, WHAT OTHER STEPS YOU HAVE TO TAKE BEFORE YOU CAN FILE A SUBDIVISION MAP.BUT WHY DON'T WE FOR NOW ALIGN THIS? AND I THINK THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION THAT CAN GO TO OUR ATTORNEY IN BUILDING INSPECTOR TO SEE IF ON THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE, IT CAN BE MADE MORE, MORE, UH, SIMPLE.
