Public Hearing, Chapter 27, Ethics
Upon motion by Trustee Waxenberg, seconded by Trustee Smith, the Board voted unanimously to open the public hearing.
Mr. Richard Maltz, Chairman of the Ethics Board reviewed the proposed changes to the law.
Mayor Vescio stated the Board of Trustees wanted to emphasize that they worked closely with the Ethics Board and encouraged the proposed changes. He further stated the Ethics Board was advisory and not judiciary.
Mr. Clay Tiffany stated as somebody who filed complaints he hoped the complaints were looked at seriously. He stated the power of subpoena would be a good thing and there should be no statute of limitations. He requested that Stuart Halper be removed from the Ethics Board.
Mr. Mort Berger of 2 Elizabeth Court asked if something went before the Board of Ethics and they determined it to be valid if the Board of Trustees had the power to squash it.
Trustee Waxenberg stated it was her understanding that once the Board of Ethics gave an opinion the Board of Trustees would determine what action would be taken.
Mr. Maltz stated the Board of Trustees would decide what remedy was appropriate.
Mrs. Margo Berger of 2 Elizabeth Court stated confidentiality was a very important component. She asked if somebody publicly stated they were filing a complaint could it still be filed with the Ethics Board.
Village Attorney Smith stated the confidentiality is with the workings of the Board. He further stated the Board could do nothing to prevent the person from making their case known publicly. He stated the deliberations and conclusions of the Ethics Board were confidential.
Mrs. Berger asked if there were guidelines as to what should be included in a complaint.
Mr. Maltz stated the Board of Ethics didn’t want to put the burden on the complainant.
Mayor Vescio thanked Mr. Maltz and the Ethics Board for their hard work. He noted that Mr. Maltz was a practicing Ethics Lawyer.
Upon motion by Trustee Smith, seconded by Trustee Mayer, the Board voted unanimously to close the public hearing.
Village Attorney Smith suggested two changes to the law.
Upon motion by Trustee Mayer, seconded by Trustee Waxenberg, the Board voted unanimously to approve the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees does hereby amend the Code of the Village of Briarcliff Manor, Chapter 27, Ethics.

Public Comments
Mr. Clay Tiffany of Hall Road stated he recently came out of his home and found photos of himself along with his Social Security Number posted on trees in his neighborhood. He further stated Assistant Village Manager Ingrid Richards witnessed his removal of them. He stated he didn’t know how much evidence he had to present to prove egregious acts against him.
Creation of Ad Hoc Holiday Display Committee
Mr. Clay Tiffany stated a similar committee was created a number of years ago and he felt it was a violation of the first amendment to mix church and state.
Mr. Jerry Morrissy of Orchard Road suggested celebrating the unity of the Village and not the diversity as much. He further stated the Village shouldn’t be ashamed of their religious heritage and he wouldn’t try to challenge the religious origins of different groups in the Village.
Upon motion by Trustee Waxenberg, seconded by Trustee Smith, the Board voted unanimously to approve the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees does hereby establish the Ad Hoc Holiday Display Committee.
