With the Board’s support, the Lakes Committee has been able to improve the Lake’s water quality and stormwater erosion issues are currently being addressed. The Village received a trails grant that was supported by the Lakes Committee, a designer consultant is on board and the work will be done shortly.
Michelle Cassarella, 36 N. Washington Street, read a letter with respect to the importance of confined space training for the Department of Public Works and the Fire Department.
Peter Lombardi, 33 Main Street, stated that he does not feel safer with the General Foreman back on the job and feels that the confined space training wasn’t useful.
Lori Semeraro, 205 Martling Avenue, stated the following:
- Employees of the DPW were working in a manhole on Martling Avenue and confined space equipment was not being used.
- The scroll and the meetings have not been playing. She asked if there was an update on having the meetings available on our website. Administrator Blau stated that an account was opened with HostMonster and we now have to load the meetings on to the website.
John Stiloski, 54 Walnut Street, asked how the Village made out with the Hearings. Administrator Blau stated that we will not know for a few months. Mr. Stiloski asked how Mr. Stolzer can investigate the 9/6/10 incident; prosecute Mr. Weaver and then his firm represents the Village at the appeal hearing. Attorney Shumejda stated that the Village hired Mr. Stolzer’s firm to represent the Village at the appeal hearing.
Fred Ellman, 30 Fairview Avenue, stated that there is safety issue where the taxi cabs are currently parking on Marymount Avenue. He asked if they can park on the EF School site. The students gather around the taxis on Marymount Avenue and he feels it is a safety concern. Mayor Fixell stated that it will be looked into. Administrator Blau stated that EF School had an issue with all the taxi cabs on their site, so they are parking on Marymount Avenue until they have a pickup and then they can go on the campus to pick up the student.
Bob Cassarella, 36 N. Washington Street, stated that he works at EF School and originally the taxi cabs were making pickups all over the campus. Now EF only allows two taxi cabs at a time in front of Butler Hall. There were too many taxi cabs on Marymount Avenue, so now they are being allowed to park on the entrance ramp.
Peter Lombardi, 33 Main Street, stated that Mayor Fixell requested that the sweeper be taken off the road. He feels that the sweeper is necessary, especially on downtown roads. Mayor Fixell stated that he did not take the sweeper off the road; he simply noted to staff that the sweeper is not overly effective in street cleaning when there are piles of leaves along the curb and to consider removing the piles of leaves first, and then the sweeper can clean the streets. Mr. Lombardi stated that the landscapers from out of town are dumping large amounts in our landfill.
Diane Tuohy, 11 Storm Street, asked if the street sweeper is back cleaning the streets. Administrator Blau stated that he would find out.
Peter Lombardi, 33 Main Street, stated that the street sweeper is back and is necessary to keep the streets clean.
Eleanor Miscioscia, Storm Street, stated that the leaves at her house have been there before the snow storm and still have not been picked up. Mayor Fixell stated that when something like that happens, she should call the Village and let them know.
John Stiloski, 54 Walnut Street, stated that it’s been over a month and the branches and leaves from the snow storm are still on Walnut Street.
PUBLIC HEARING – ETHICS CODE (adopted)
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on the 5th day of December, 2011, at 8 PM, in the Municipal Building, One Depot Plaza, Tarrytown, New York 10591, to hear, discuss and to act upon an amendment to Chapter 27 entitled "Code of Ethics". A summary of the legislation is available at Village Hall. The complete text of this legislation follows:
A LOCAL LAW to amend the Code of the Village of Tarrytown, Chapter 27 entitled “Code of Ethics”, by amending the heading to Section 27-5 and to provide greater definition in the Section concerning who is to receive and complete the financial disclosure form.
SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS OF FACT.
A. Findings of Fact.
The Board of Trustees, during the review process associated with the development of the new Code of Ethics, eliminated the requirement in Section 27-5 of the Chapter for political party officials to complete the financial disclosure form. Political party officials were not included in the content of the Section 27-5, but the political party officials remained in the heading for the Section. Therefore, there is a conflict between the heading and the content of the Section which needs to be eliminated. In addition, a review of the persons either elected, serving as staff or volunteering for Boards, Committees and Councils evidenced the fact that over 140 people would receive and have to complete the financial disclosure form. It was not the intent of the Board that all of the people who serve in a
volunteer capacity should receive and complete the financial disclosure form. Based thereon, it is the desire of the Board of Trustees to clarify who they intend to receive and complete the financial disclosure form.
B. Legislative Intent.
The intent of this amendment is to eliminate the conflict between the heading of Section 27-5 and the content included in 27-5.A. and to clarify who is to receive and complete the financial disclosure form.

The heading for §27-5 shall read as follows: “Financial disclosure for Village Officers, employees and elected officials.”
SECTION 3. Amendment to §27-5 “Financial disclosure for Village Officers, employees and elected officials.” Subsection A.
A. Each [elected or appointed] Village Officer, as defined in New York State Village Law Section 3-301[and], each managerial employee and each Village Officer, as defined in this Chapter, or employee who serves on a Board, Council or Committee or in an appointed capacity that has decision making authority independent of the Board of Trustees shall file with the Village Clerk an annual statement of financial disclosure containing the information and appearing in the form as promulgated from time to time by the Ethics Board and kept on file with the Village Clerk. Such statement shall be filed on or before the 15 day of May with respect to the
preceding calendar year. Any elected or appointed officer or managerial employee who commences employment or takes office after May 15th of any year shall file such statement within 30 calendar days after commencing employment or taking office.

PUBLIC HEARING – MODERATE INCOMING HOUSING (adopted)
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on the 5th day of December, 2011, at 8 PM, in the Municipal Building, One Depot Plaza, Tarrytown, New York 10591, to hear, discuss and to act upon a proposed amendments to Chapter 305 entitled “Zoning” of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown, Section 130 “Moderate Income Housing”. A summary of the legislation is available at Village Hall. The complete text of this legislation follows:
A LOCAL LAW to amend §305-130, “Moderate Income Housing” of Chapter 305 entitled "Zoning” of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown.
SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS OF FACT.
A. Findings of Fact.
The Village of Tarrytown committed to the development of moderate income housing in 1989 via an amendment to the Zoning Code and the Village remains committed to the development of moderate income housing. The issue of affordable housing in numerous Westchester County municipalities was addressed in a lawsuit filed by the Anti-Discrimination Center of Metro New York, Inc. against the County. In August of 2009, Westchester County executed a Stipulation and Order of Settlement and Dismissal with the United States of American ex. rel. Anti-Discrimination Center of Metro New York, Inc. relating to affordable housing in the County. The Village of Tarrytown was one of the local municipalities that were included in the settlement executed by the County and the Village was designated as a
“7(c) Eligible Community” in that settlement. One of the provisions in the settlement agreement was the creation of Model Ordinance Provisions by the County associated with the development of “Fair and Affordable Housing” in the local municipalities. The Board of Trustees directed the Model Ordinance Provisions document to the Moderate Income Housing Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is desirous of working with Westchester County in the amendment of the Village’s Moderate Income Housing section of the Zoning Code.
B. Legislative Intent.
It is the intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown to delete the current language of §305-130, “Moderate Income Housing” of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown, with the exception of the provisions associated with incentives to create affordable housing and to institute various provisions of the Model Ordinance Provisions that is included in the Westchester County Fair and Affordable Housing Implementation Plan.

The affordable units within single family zoning districts may be developed as single-family homes on a lot meeting seventy-five percent (75%) of the minimum lot size in that respective zone or as two-family homes on a lot meeting the minimum lot size in that respective zone. The developer may request that the units to be created per this section be developed as a multi-family units and may

If the Bureau stops publishing this index, and fails to designate a successor index, the Village will designate a substitute
index.
(ii) The cost of major capital improvements made by the seller of the unit while said seller of the unit owned the unit as evidenced by paid receipts depreciated on a straight line basis over a fifteen (15) year period from the date of completion and such approval shall be requested for said major capital improvement no later than the time the seller of the unit desires to include it in the resale price.

M. Expedited Project Review Process.
(1) Pre-application Meeting. The applicant for a development including affordable unit(s) shall be entitled to attend at least one pre-application meeting at which representatives will be in attendance from each Village Board and staff member expected to play a role in the review and approval of the development application and construction. The purpose of the pre-application meeting will be to expedite the development application review process through the early identification of issues, concerns, code compliance and coordination matters that may arise during the review and approval process and to establish a comprehensive review process outline, proposed meeting schedule and conceptual timeline.
(2) Meeting Schedule and Timeline. Municipal departments, Boards and staff shall endeavor to honor the proposed meeting schedule and conceptual timeline established as an outcome of the pre-application to the greatest extent possible during the review and approval process, subject to the demonstrated cooperation of the applicant to adhere to the schedule and timeline. Should the approval process extend beyond one (1) year, an applicant for a development that includes affordable housing units shall be entitled to at least one (1) additional meeting per year with the same departments, Boards and staff to review any and all items discussed at previous pre-application meetings.
(3) Calendar/Agenda Priority.

PUBLIC HEARING – TATTOO PARLORS (adopted)
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on the 5th day of December, 2011, at 8 PM, in the Municipal Building, One Depot Plaza, Tarrytown, New York 10591, to hear, discuss and to act upon a proposed amendment to Chapter 268 entitled “Tattoo Parlors” of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown. A summary of the legislation is available at Village Hall. The complete text of this legislation follows:
A LOCAL LAW to amend §268 of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown entitled “Tattoo Parlors” to define the term “schools”.
SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS OF FACT.
A. Findings of Fact.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown adopted Local Law No. 9 of 2011on October 3, 2011 to permit tattoo parlors in the Restricted Retail District subject to conditions and restrictions. One of the restrictions included in the Local Law was a distance restriction from a school. The term school was not defined in the law. It was the intent of the Board of Trustees, in the adoption of the law, to restrict the distance between tattoo parlors and schools that educate children and not adults, especially considering that people eighteen years old can legally be tattooed. Based upon this intent, the Board of Trustees has determined that it is necessary to amend Chapter 268 to explicitly state the age group that was to be protected by this restriction in the law. In addition, the law as
adopted was different than the law as noticed in the newspaper. The Board, during the review process associated with the Local Law deleted any restriction relating to the distance to a park; however, the notice included the restriction. This amendment also clarifies the intent of the Board and eliminates any conflict between the law as adopted and the law as noticed in the newspaper.
B. Legislative Intent.
It is the intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown to amend Chapter 268 to define “school” in the law in order to make it clear that the distance restriction in the law between a school and a tattoo parlor was to address schools that educate children and not adults and to eliminate any conflict between the language of the law and the notice of the public hearing posted in the newspaper.
Material to be deleted appears in [parenthesis], material to be added is in bold typeface.
SECTION 2. Amendment to §268-3“Distances from other tattoo parlors; schools, parks.”
The heading for §268-3 shall read as follows: “Distances from other tattoo parlors; schools.”
SECTION 3. Amendment to §268-3“Distances from other tattoo parlors [;] and schools [; parks]” Subsection B, distance [from other] between a tattoo parlor[s] and a school[s; parks].
- A tattoo parlor shall be no closer than five hundred (500) feet to a lot containing any school [or park]. A school, for the purposes of this Chapter, shall mean an institution for the education of children under the age of eighteen (18).
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE
This local law shall take effect immediately, as provided by law.
All interested parties are invited to attend and be heard. Access to the meeting room is available to the elderly and the handicapped. Signing is available for the hearing-impaired; a request must be made to the Village Clerk at least five days in advance of the meeting.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF TARRYTOWN
Trustee Butler moved, seconded by Trustee Zollo, and unanimously carried, that the hearing be opened.
Lori Semeraro, 205 Martling Avenue, questioned the distance between the proposed tattoo parlor location and the nursery school on Broadway. Trustee McGovern stated that she personally went out and measured it with a wheel and it is outside the 500 ft.
Diane Tuohy, 11 Storm Street,
- Read a letter written by Patricia Kramer, Director of the New Beginnings Nursery School at 42 North Broadway. The letter stated that she would like consideration for an alternative location for the proposed tattoo parlor. She feels it would be inappropriate and without regard to the young children who live within walking distance to the nursery school.
- Neperan Park is 287 ft. from the proposed tattoo parlor. She feels it is unacceptable to have a tattoo parlor in a residential area, near a park where children gather.
- She feels the Board is more concerned with the proposed tattoo parlor owner than with the well-being of our children.
- New York School of Esthetics is located at 14 North Broadway and on their website it states that one of their requirements for enrollment is that you have to be at least 17 years of age.
Eleanor Miscioscia, Storm Street, stated that she feels the Board seems to make their decisions at the work session and doesn’t understand the point of the public hearing. She feels that the comments made at the public hearing are not being heard.
Lori Semeraro, 205 Martling Avenue, stated that she doesn’t see the difference between a school and a park; children congregate at both places.
John Stiloski, 54 Walnut Street, asked if the definition of school for the tattoo parlor chapter of the Code would be the same for the rest of the Village Code. Attorney Sumejda stated that the definition of school in this law is for the purpose of this chapter only. The definition of school can be different in the Village’s Zoning Code. Mr. Stiloski feels that there should be one definition for school throughout the Village Code.
John Garibaldi, 3 Hudson Place, stated that Yoo’s Martial Arts is located at 10 Main Street where children attend.
Karen Garibaldi, 3 Hudson Place, stated that she feels disappointed and disheartened that the Board feels that a tattoo parlor belongs in the Village. She thought the restrictions that included the parlor would have to be on the second floor and 500 feet from a school or park were for the protection of our children.
Lloyd Ellman, 30 Fairview Avenue, stated that he has lived in Tarrytown all his life and he attended schools in Tarrytown from nursery school through high school and he doesn’t feel negative toward having a tattoo parlor in the Village and supports the Board’s decision.
Diane Tuohy, 11 Storm Street, stated that the New York School of Esthetics, a registered school with the State of New York accepts students at the age of 17; seventeen is still a minor.
John Garibaldi, 3 Hudson Place, re-emphasized the fact that Yoo’s Martial Arts is a school for children located at 10 Main Street and he is certain that it is less than 500 feet of the proposed tattoo parlor location at 13-15 Neperan Road.
Trustee Basher moved, seconded by Trustee Zollo, and unanimously carried, that the hearing be closed.
Trustee Basher moved, seconded by Trustee Zollo, that the following resolution be approved.
Motion carried, all voting “aye” with the exception of Trustee Hoyt who voted “no” Approved: 5-1
Trustee Zollo moved, seconded by Trustee Basher, that the following resolution be approved.
Motion carried, all voting “aye” with the exception of Trustees Hoyt and McGovern who voted “no.” Approved: 5-2 Trustee McGovern stated that she thought the park restriction should have remained in the legislation.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown does hereby amend the Code of the Village of Tarrytown, Chapter 268, Tattoo Parlors, to provide a definition of the term school in the law and to eliminate any
conflict between the language of the law and the notice of the public hearing posted in the newspaper.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held for the proposed action on December 5, 2011; and
WHEREAS, a notice of public hearing was published in the Journal News on November 25, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown is the only agency which has approval authority over the Proposed Action, and is therefore the Lead Agency for the Proposed Action.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
In accordance with Article 8 of the State Environmental Conservation Law and 6NYCRR Part 617, including without limitations the criteria set forth in 6 NYCRR Part 617.7(c) and based upon review of the Environmental Assessment Form and all other materials that were prepared for the Proposed Action, the Village Board of Trustees hereby determines that Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment, and hereby adopts a Negative Declaration.

GLOBAL CITIES COVENANT ON CLIMATE
Trustee Basher moved, seconded by Trustee McGovern, and unanimously carried, that the following resolution be approved: Approved: 7-0
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown does hereby commit to the Global Cities Covenant on Climate, known as The Mexico City Pact; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that The Mexico City Pact is hereby included herewith below.
Acknowledging that cities play a strategic role in the fight against climate change, because they are centers of economic, political and cultural innovation, host to half of the world population, and manage vast public resources, infrastructure, investments and expertise; and
Recalling that between 1992 and 2007, while the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol were designed, numerous local governments demonstrated leadership and implemented innovative actions to combat climate change at the local level; and
Reminding that as today half of the world’s population lives in cities; that the International Energy Agency estimates that cities accounted for 67% of the world’s primary energy demand and more than 70% of global CO² emissions in 2006. With continued urbanization and urban growth, energy use in cities is projected to increase to 73% of the global total, and CO² emissions to 76% by 2030; and
Noting that since our cities are at increased risk of the devastating consequences of global climate change, particularly affecting the urban poor, many cities around the world, despite limited budgets and capacities, are already developing and implementing local adaptation strategies to address problems caused by climate change, even in the absence of binding global commitment on adaptation; and
Recognizing that since 2007, when national governments embarked on the UN Climate Roadmap, local governments signed the World Mayors and Local Government Climate Protection Agreement and developed a parallel Local Government Climate Roadmap to mirror and influence the ongoing work of the Conference of the Parties (COP), with the purpose of seeking recognition for local climate action within global climate governance; and
Emphasizing at the 2009 United National Climate Change Conference in Denmark when the Copenhagen Accord was announced with national commitments and actions of governments, local governments published the Copenhagen World Catalogue of Local Climate Commitments, which identified more than 3,500 voluntary greenhouse gas reduction commitments of local governments; and
Welcoming and seeking synergies with regional initiatives such as the Covenant of Mayors in Europe and the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in the U.S.A.; and
Inviting more cities, local and regional governments to initiate action or accelerate their climate efforts, both in developed as well as in developing countries; and
Acknowledging that our local commitments and actions must be measurable reportable and verifiable in order to attract recognition and support from existing or new multilateral institutions and funding mechanisms; and
Considering that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined that reductions in greenhouse gases emissions must limit the increase of global temperatures to less than 2 degrees Celsius by the end of this century; and
Gathering on the eve of the United Nations Climate Change Conference at the World Mayors Summit on Climate, in Mexico City on the 21st of November 2010, the following was stated:
WE, THE MAYORS AND LOCAL AUTHORITY REPRESENTATIVES BY SIGNING THE GLOBAL CITIES COVENANT ON CLIMATE “THE MEXICO CITY PACT,” WE COMMIT TO:
- Reduce our local greenhouse gas emissions voluntarily
We shall promote measures, public policies, laws, plans and campaigns to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in our cities, taking into account our individual resources and capacities to do so.
- Adopt and implement local climate mitigation measures designed to achieve our voluntary reduction targets
If we have set targets for reducing GHG emissions, we will adopt and implement measures to achieve them in areas such as sustainable transportation, proper waste management, energy efficiency, as well as implement low carbon options that help to green our local economies and lifestyles.
- Develop local adaptation strategies to address the local impact of climate change
We shall design appropriate local adaptation plans and implement climate change adaptation and preparedness measures with operational mechanisms that improve the quality of life of our inhabitants, in particular the urban poor, who are most vulnerable to the harmful impacts of climate change.
- Register our emission inventories, commitments, climate mitigation and adaptation measures and actions in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner
Acknowledging our common but differentiated responsibilities in responding to climate change, we agree to make our actions transparent and provide regular information and data, where available, so that our efforts can be measured, reported and verified.
- Seek the creation of mechanisms that allow direct access to funding for local climate actions
We will seek the development of mechanisms to directly access financing for our registered mitigation and adaptation actions.
- Establish a Global Cities Covenant on Climate Secretariat
We agree that a Global Cities Covenant on Climate Secretariat should be established to follow-up on actions arising from this instrument and to promote the Global Cities Covenant on Climate with other local and regional authorities. We request the Secretariat to undertake all efforts to facilitate cooperation, exchange and expertise on climate mitigation and adaptation.
- Promote the involvement of civil society in the fight against climate change
We will engage our citizens in our actions to address climate change, and will support proposals that encourage changes in lifestyles that contribute to our local climate actions.
- Advocate and seek partnerships with multilateral institutions and national governments on our local climate actions
We agree to cooperate actively with each other to advocate support to seek recognition and support for our measurable, reportable and verifiable local climate.
- Promote partnerships and city-to-city cooperation
We agree to seek active partnerships and promote cooperation among all signatories of the Global Cities Covenant on Climate, including sharing information and knowledge, capacity building and technology transfer in all areas relevant to climate mitigation and adaptation.
10 Spread
Spread the message of the Global Cities Covenant on Climate and, in particular, encourage and invite other leaders of local governments to join in addressing climate change.
