MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE

VILLAGE OF PELHAM BOARD OF TRUSTEES

VILLAGE HALL, 195 SPARKS AVENUE, PELHAM, NEW YORK

JUNE 1, 2004

 

PRESENT:  Mayor Clain, Trustees Greco, Homan, Hotchkiss, Merrick, Potocki and Rozycki, Administrator Slingerland, Village Clerk Rouke.

 

The Mayor convened the meeting at 8 p.m., and everyone recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

 

 

Item #3 – Mayor’s Report:  Mayor Clain explained the Federal Transportation Administration’s (FTA’s) earmark grant and the meeting he and Village Administrator Slingerland had attended with representatives from the FTA, the MTA and Westchester County.  He explained that the grant had been obtained originally by Congresswoman Nita Lowey in cooperation with Supervisor Solimene for the Town of Pelham Trolley, but at the Town’s request the $260,000 in funding for that project had been redirected to the Village of Pelham for the planning and design of parking decks.  He commented that the plan at the moment would be for the Village to cooperate with MTA, with the MTA acting as Lead Agency for the planning and design project.  He explained the MTA would act as the grant recipient much like Westchester County had acted as the applicant and grant recipient for New Rochelle’s parking facility.  He also announced that the Village had submitted an application for a $2 million grant through Congresswoman Lowey’s office to pay for the construction of an intermodal parking facility, which the Village would not hear about until next summer. 

 

Resident Peter Vetere of 3rd Avenue commented that he was concerned about the Post Office relocation as part of the re-design of the Village’s property to include the parking decks, and he suggested there is commercial space available for the Post Office in Pelham Manor.

 

The Mayor announced the Chamber of Commerce Fair would be coming up soon, and that the Chamber has several rides to be sponsored with financial donations.  He advised anyone interested in sponsoring a ride to contact the Chamber of Commerce.

 

 

Item #4 – Trustee’s Reports:


 

Item #6 – Public Comment:

Carmine Papa of Wolfs Lane complained about the Police Department, and asked how much money the Village is losing as an investment on Lot 4 on 4th Avenue.  Mayor Clain responded that the Village had calculated that in order to break even on the Lot, the Village would have to charge $1200 per space per year in the lot.

 

Peter Vetere of 3rd Avenue commented on and disagreed with the plan to paint crosswalks along Colonial Avenue.  He suggested that the Village should coordinate with the schools to have the children cross at another intersection.  He commented that mothers driving children to and from school tend to be the worst speeders.  He also commented that he had looked at other communities including Yonkers, Mamaroneck and New Rochelle, and they had informed him they controlled speeders best with a strong police presence. 

 

Joseph Marciona from the Pelham Seniors submitted the Seniors’ request to allow them to park in more places around the D’Aronco Town House, and the Board agreed to work something out.

 

 

Item #7 – Public Hearing on the Site Plan application by DeDona to construct a new home on Corona Avenue:

 

On the motion of Trustee Homan, seconded by Trustee Rozycki, the Board decided unanimously to continue this matter until the June 15th Board Meeting. 

 

 

Item #8 – Continued public hearing on a draft law enacting a new Chapter 68 Of The Village Code, With Regard To Regulations That Limit Noise in Pelham:

 

The Board discussed the issues surrounding the legislation, including impacts on homeowners, contractors and the public schools.  The Board was concerned about creating a difficult situation with the school construction, and the Mayor stated he would discuss the matter with some members of the school board.  The Board had reviewed the draft law first in August 2003, made changes in February and March of 2004, and the law was circulated in final form May 14, 2004.

 

On the motion of Trustee Rozycki, seconded by Trustee Merrick, the following Local Law was adopted by the Village of Pelham Board of Trustees by a vote of six to one (Hotchkiss – No), as follows:

Note:  The preceding resolutions were held until the public hearing scheduled for June 15, 2004.

 

 

Item #10 -- Resolution authorizing the retention of a new Insurance Provider and policies effective June 1, 2004.

 

Backup information was supplied to the Board about the bid process.  It was explained that the Village Administrator had polled the Board in advance to retain insurance coverage, which had to be made effective 12:00:01 a.m. on June 1, 2004, since the Village’s previous insurer had decided not to renew its insurance coverage of the Village, as a business decision.

 

The Village Administrator explained that he had spoken with 6 of 7 board members, and all agreed we should go with NYMIR, the municipal group insurance offered through the Spain Agency.  The group is reinsured through American Reinsurance Corporation, which has a Standard and Poor's rating of A, and American Reinsurance’s position is stable.

 

On reviewing the bids, the Administrator explained that Arthur J. Gallagher had submitted a proposal that did not comply with the requirements of the request for bids – they had changed the deductibles from $1,000 to $10,000 on General liability, and $5,000 to $10,000 on public officials, law enforcement and employment practices liability coverage.  He explained the Village had budgeted $50,000 for judgments and claims, including deductibles.

 

He explained that the Village had attempted to contact 29 insurance companies, and had probably reached about 20 companies, and that municipal insurance is a market many insurance brokers do not cover.

 

The Board discussed the issue, and asked the Administrator to obtain additional quotes from NYMIR for Umbrella coverage up to $10 million and make sure that all assets of the Village are insured.

 

Having no further discussion, on the motion of Trustee Homan, seconded by Trustee Merrick, the Board voted unanimously by a vote of seven to zero to approve the resolution, as follows:
