REPORTS

Trustee Butler stated the following:

  • He asked that Sean from Patch quote people accurately.
VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT

Boil Water Advisory – Last week a Boil Water Advisory was issued by the Westchester County Department of Health due to turbidity in the Catskill Aqueduct.  When the Village learned of the Advisory, the Village provided the
information to our customers via the Reverse 9-1-1 system in the Police Department.  However, the Village only learned of the advisory from news reports on Monday morning.  We have communicated with the County Department of
Health to note the importance of noticing staff so that we can then utilize the Reverse 9-1-1 system and provide prompt notice to our customers.  The representatives I spoke with understood the need to contact us and acknowledged
that they didn’t contact us regarding the boil water advisory.  Our phone numbers are now in their system.  The Catskill Aqueduct is the primary source of water for the Village with the New Croton Aqueduct as the secondary system.
The Village also has an emergency connection with Greenburgh for water from the Delaware Aqueduct, but this emergency connection cannot provide the full supply for Tarrytown.  As you may recall, the Board has approved
working with Sleepy Hollow and Briarcliff Manor to connect another emergency connection to the Greenburgh system.  The New Croton Aqueduct is currently shut down for repairs and the Greenburgh connection cannot provide
enough water for the Village, thus the only source of water that could fully supply the Village was the Catskill Aqueduct and the water in that aqueduct was subject to the boil water advisory.  Until the New Croton Aqueduct once
again becomes operational, the Village’s water customers will be subject to boil water advisories whenever they are issued by the County Health Department.  At the present time, the anticipated reopening of the New Croton
Aqueduct, per the New York City Department of Environmental Protection is May of this year.

Solar Panel Bid – the project is out to bid with a return date for the bids of February 23.  The project must be completed by July 1, 2011.

Policy Review – The Village has reached out to the New York Conference of Mayors to request a listing of policies which are mandated by the State.  No such list exists but a listing of policies in a document called Staying One Step Ahead:  Governance Policies You Need to Have in Place” was shared with the Village.  I have reached out to other municipal Administrators and Managers to determine if such a listing exists and I have not found an absolute listing.  The document from NYCOM provides sample policies in the subject areas of:  Cell Phone Use, Internet Use, Conference Attendance, Fixed Assets, Procurement, Sexual Harassment, Vehicle Use and Workplace Violence.  The Village has written policies in 5 of these areas and staff is reviewing the sample policies in the other subject areas for consideration by the Board.

The costs associated with the Pierson Park Reconstruction Project - The amount of funding we have with grants and such is $3,267,000.  The amount of money estimated by our consultant at this time for the work proposed for the Pierson Park project is $3,265,268.  We are $2,000 under the funding sources at this time.  The bathroom facilities would be an add alternate to the bid.  If the bid comes in less than anticipated, we would have the monies available to add the bathroom facilities to the project.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF TARRYTOWN

Trustee Zollo moved, seconded by Trustee Basher, and unanimously carried, that the hearing be opened.

Mayor Fixell questioned whether anyone wished to address the Board on this matter.  No one appeared.

Trustee Hoyt moved, seconded by Trustee McGee, and unanimously carried, that the public hearing be continued.

VILLAGE ATTORNEY SHUMEJDA’S STATEMENT

The Board of Trustees retained a law firm to conduct an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the September 6, 2010 manhole incident that resulted in the deaths of Anthony Ruggerio and John Kelly.

Last week, the law firm made a recommendation to the Board of Trustees that the Board proceed with a hearing on disciplinary charges against one employee, Scott Weaver.

The Board of Trustees accepted the recommendation of the law firm.

Mr. Weaver has been suspended pending the determination of the charges.

A hearing officer has been appointed to conduct the hearing on the charges. The hearing officer will determine when the hearing will be held – the Board of Trustees has no input on the timing of the hearing.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will submit a written report with his recommendations on the charges and penalty, if any.   If an employee is found guilty of disciplinary charges, section 75 of the civil service law provides the following penalties:  a reprimand, a fine not to exceed $100, a suspension without pay not exceeding two months, a demotion in grade and title or termination.

The Board of Trustees will make the final decision on whether Mr. Weaver is guilty or innocent of any the disciplinary charges and if guilty, the penalty which will be imposed.

The Board of Trustees must base its determination solely upon the evidence brought forth at the hearing.

The Village of Tarrytown cannot release the report of the law firm nor the disciplinary charges to the public until after a final determination is made by the Board of Trustees.

The Mayor, Board of Trustees and Village Staff are not permitted to comment on the charges until a final determination is made.


OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD.  SPEAKERS HAVE FIVE (5) MINUTES BEFORE YIELDING TO THE NEXT SPEAKER; THEN THREE (3) MINUTES FOR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Lori Semeraro, 205 Martling Avenue, stated the following:
  • With regard to the boil water issue, why couldn’t we switch to the Delaware Water System?   Administrator Blau stated that the Board approved a major connection to the Delaware Water System.  Right now we have a connection through the Greenburgh Water Distribution System to the Delaware Aqueduct; drawing off of their tap.  We are planning to construct in conjunction with Sleepy Hollow and Briarcliff our own connection to the Delaware Water System.
  • Is there a plan in place to have markers on all fire hydrants?  Administrator Blau stated that they were installing markers today.
  • Are the Wilson Park fire hydrants working or are we still using the backup system.  Administrator Blau stated that from Wilson Park up to Beech, we have new fire hydrants.  From Beech on down, we are using the pipes above the ground and the Fire Chiefs are aware of it.
  • If we are in current litigation and the Board has the authority to approve or disapprove members of the fire department, how come the two individuals who are named in the human rights complaint are still active members of the fire department?  Attorney Shumejda stated that the Board of Trustees does not control the disciplinary actions of the fire department.  It is controlled by the Board of Fire Wardens.  Under the Village Law and also the By-laws of the Fire Department, the Chiefs of the Department bring charges they think is appropriate.  The Chiefs consist of the Fire Chief, 2 Assistant Chiefs and the 12 Deputy Chiefs.  Those charges, if any, are forwarded to the Board of Fire Wardens for determination.  It is not a decision of the Board of Trustees.
John Stiloski, 54 Walnut Street, stated the following:
  • He thinks it’s disturbing that the independent report that he believes is not independent because the law firm who was hired has worked for the Village for many years.  
  • He thinks it’s disturbing that there’s a report on confined space that was submitted by Mr. Blau to PESH to investigate this case on behalf of the people who are involved, but yet no one knows who wrote it, where it came from, and what date it was signed.
Clarice Pollack, 19 S. Broadway, stated that she knew both John Kelly and Anthony Ruggiero for over 40 years, both wonderful gentlemen and unfortunately their lives cut short by a tragic accident.  The investigation conducted by PESH cited the Village of Tarrytown with 4 violations. The Village of Tarrytown retained a law firm to conduct the investigation.  This firm has had previous dealings with the Village and will probably have dealings in the future; how can this be considered an independent investigation.  The Village of Tarrytown must accept responsibility for all the violations and reinstate Mr. Weaver immediately.

John Stiloski, 54 Walnut Street, stated the following:
  • He believes that Mr. Weaver should be reinstated until we have an independent counsel to conduct the investigation who doesn’t have a relationship with the Village.   Attorney Shumejda stated that the Village is the client not Mr. Blau.   Mr. Stolzer, as with any attorney, has legal and ethical obligations to represent that client to the fullest of his ability.
  • He wanted to know who put the report on confined space that was submitted to PESH on Mr. McGarvey’s shelf.   Administrator Blau stated that he didn’t know who put it on his shelf; however, when we received the policy back from PESH, Mr. McGarvey said he would keep and maintain the policy in his office.
Joe McCarthy, 91 Tappan Landing Road, stated the following:
  • He read a letter that was sent to the Board of Trustees from his Fire Company to convey support and appreciation of General Foreman Scott Weaver.
  • The Village needs to bring Scott back.  To suspend him based on the independent investigation report, whose law firm has done work for the Village in the past is not independent.
  • He believes that the Board is making Scott Weaver out as the scapegoat.  He should be reinstated.
Diane Tuohy, 11 Storm Street, asked if the investigation is complete.  Attorney Shumejda stated that the law firm concluded its investigation and recommended only charges be filed against one employee.   Ms. Tuohy believes that one person should not be solely responsible.  

Mary Westerfield, 19 S. Broadway, asked the Board if they are comfortable that this tragedy falls solely on one person’s shoulder.  

Ray Tuohy, 11 Storm Street, stated that to say only one person is to blame is wrong, but it’s a good start.  We are looking for the best and the fairest investigation from this Board.  He questions the independent counsel’s authenticity.  He has done work for the Village and one of the people he had to investigate was the person he had to go to.  He believes a true outside independent agency should come in to investigate.  Attorney Shumejda stated that there were no limitations put on the law firm who was hired to do this investigation.  They were told to investigate the incident involving any and all employees.  After they conducted that investigation, they came to a conclusion that charges be filed against one employee.  That is their determination after reviewing and interviewing individuals that they did.  This law firm has an obligation to represent the Village of Tarrytown, their client, to the best of their ability.  The investigator/law firm made a recommendation that a hearing be held and charges be proffered.  There has absolutely been no determination as to guilt or non-guilt or innocence.  In their professional opinion, there is enough to go forward with a hearing.  Mr. Tuohy stated that he believes there’s a conflict of interest with the independent law firm who has worked for the Village for some time and he’s sure they hope to continue to do work for this Village.  Attorney Shumejda stated that in his opinion it is not a conflict of interest because the Village is the client, not one individual person who works for the Village.

Jim Reilly, 154 Martling Avenue, stated that this is singling out one person because one person is suspended.  He asked why Mr. Blau and Mr. McGarvey are not suspended.

Robert Goldstein, 59 Sheldon Avenue, stated the following:
  • As a member of the Board of Fire Wardens, the fire department has moved forward with new SOG’s and training with help from Mike Coffey.  Many members have attended the confined space awareness.  The Board of Fire Wardens is doing the best they can do with training.  
  • Scott Weaver has always been a gentleman and a hard worker.  He doesn’t believe he should be suspended at this point.  The investigation should go forward to see who is actually responsible of the tragic deaths of Anthony and John.
  • As far as the human rights complaint, nothing has been proven, nothing has been said and nothing has been done.  Until something is proven and done, then we can move forward.  
  • This fire department has lost two brothers and we cannot continue to beat a dead horse.  The Village should appoint an independent hearing officer and get this thing done correctly.  As it was said before, he thinks the Board should hire another independent firm to investigate who has never worked for the Village from another County to do a fair and independent hearing.   Mayor Fixell stated that the hearing officer is a person who has not been an employee of this Village ever.   Mayor Fixell stated that there is no pleasure in any of this for us at all.   We are proceeding as we have been informed is the proper way to go forward under the laws that govern us.  There is no determination of guilt only that the hearing will go forward.
Clarice Pollack, 19 S. Broadway, suggested that the hearing be moved to another jurisdiction and out of the hands of the Village so that the person will get a fair and independent trial.  We need to do away with this independent opinion and re-instate Scott Weaver.  

George Gasperini, Paulding Avenue, asked if the law firm investigated any other individuals named in the PESH report.  Attorney Shumejda stated that the law firm investigated the incident with no limitations as to the employees to investigate.  Mr. Gasperini asked what recommendations were given with respect to these individuals.  Attorney Shumejda stated that the only recommendation that the Board received is that charges be proffered against one individual. Attorney Shumejda stated that Mr. Gasperini may have assumed that the Board of Trustees has viewed the report of the investigators, they have not and cannot.  What is contained in that report will remain confidential until such time there is a final determination on the charges.   Mr. Gasperini stated that the fact that this law firm has represented the Village in the past doesn’t make sense.   He believes that the Village has picked on one man who happens to be a good man.

Mary Westerfield, 19 S.Broadway, stated that it is not an independent investigation because the Village has a relationship with them.  She asked the Board if they could have this looked at again and she asked why Scott was suspended at this stage.  She asked the Board if they can step back, reinstate Scott Weaver and start the investigation over again.

Kelly Murphy, 18 Wood Court, stated that she went through a similar tragedy 25 years ago where her family suffered a great loss when her brother was killed also in a tragedy.  Her family never blamed anyone for it.   She believes we need to stop fighting with each other and come together as a Village and a community.  She supports Scott Weaver; he is like a brother to her.  She believes that John and Anthony would feel it disgraceful that you are going after one of their own friends.  They both would want you to fix the problem and help DPW get what they need; no one should be fired over this tragedy.

Joe McCarthy, 91 Tappan Landing Road, stated that there were other people named in the PESH report, but the independent investigation only names one guy.  He asked why the Village suspended Scott Weaver.  Attorney Shumejda stated that the investigation by the law firm was independent from the PESH report.  The firm’s charge was to investigate all the facts and circumstances.  As we know the conclusion of that was to recommend charges be brought against one individual.  Mr. McCarthy asked if it was the Board’s decision to suspend Scott Weaver.  Attorney Shumejda stated that there are other factors involved here, that was an option of the Board and it was not done in a vacuum.  

Lori Semeraro, 205 Martling Avenue, asked what the law firm’s qualifications for doing an investigation. Mayor Fixell stated that they have done hundreds of them.  How can two independent reports have two so different conclusions?  She feels that the Board should go back to the beginning and hire a truly independent investigator who has never worked for the Village.

Clarice Pollack, 19 S. Broadway, stated that she feels that the Village should not go forward with another independent investigation and stop with the report from PESH.  The PESH report concluded that the Village of Tarrytown is responsible.  Let’s take the responsibility as a Village as a whole and go forward.  Let’s correct what needs to be corrected and bring this community back to what it once was.  Bring Scott Weaver back to DPW.  She feels that training should be a priority for DPW.   Administrator Blau stated that they are working with the CSEA and their union president and members of the safety committee to plan out a number of training programs along with the CSEA safety coordinator.

Jeff Dunnings, 154 Martling Avenue, asked the Board if they have the power to reject the results of the independent investigation.  Mayor Fixell stated that he believes that the Board could have rejected the results.   Attorney Shumejda stated that the investigators submitted their firm’s recommendation to the Board of Trustees.  The Board reviewed them and decided to accept the recommendation and move the matter to a hearing.   Mr. Dunnings stated that he doesn’t believe Scott should be suspended.  He is innocent until proven guilty.

Trustee Butler stated that he is hearing that you want the Board to revisit this.   The Board will have a discussion on this matter.
