4) Village Manager's Reports -

IMA for Storm water Management Grants

Michael Ritchie from Dolph Rotfeld Engineering explained to the Board the IMA for Storm Water Management Grants. Mr. Ritchie advised that this grant is in connection with Mount Kisco's five year plan for storm water compliance and implementation that each municipality in the County has an obligation to undertake. Mr. Ritchie advised that the State of New York offered assistance and with the Village of Sleepy Hollow in the lead with fifteen other municipalities they have put together two successful grant applications, $100,000 coming from the State and $100,000 in matching in-kind services from the Municipalities. Mr. Ritchie explained that the first grant deals with the requirement under the Phase II Storm Water Regulations wherein municipalities undertake an Out-Fall Mapping Program, wherever a storm water collection system discharges to ponds, rivers, lakes, streams, etc., the municipality must record that location. Mr. Ritchie stated that with this grant they will send people in the field with GPS equipment to get the exact coordinates and attributes of the outfall. Mr. Ritchie said that the State in the future will require municipalities to begin sampling and testing of the discharge from these outfalls to detect any sources of pollution that may be collecting in the municipal system and then discharging. Mr. Ritchie stated that the Grant also provides for setting up protocols for that testing and sampling and training of local employees. Mr. Ritchie said that the in-kind portion of the municipalities share would come from DPW assistance to facilitate the location of the outfalls. Mr. Ritchie said that the municipality will receive a GIS Map that is consistent with the standards established by Westchester County so that other communities in the watershed can share this information. Mr. Ritchie advised that the second Grant is to facilitate updating legislation required by the State to adopt design manuals for controlling both run off from construction sites during construction and also utilizing updated standards for design practices for post-development control runoff. Mr. Ritchie advised that State Regulations are requiring that municipalities deal with the quality of the water runoff and this is going to require some adjustments with new standards and new techniques including adjustments to Site Plan Regulations, Sub-Division Regulations, and Zoning Code. Mr. Ritchie said that there is model legislation available to assist municipalities. Mr. Ritchie said that the bottom line is for the municipalities to retain their permits under New York State to operate a Municipal Collection System. Mr. Ritchie said there are fifteen municipalities involved in each grant and the State works on a reimbursement system. Mr. Ritchie advised that you have to expend the money before you can voucher to get it back and not to burden any one community to put out the contractual expenses, as the expenses for those contracts are incurred, we would submit the vouchers to New York State for reimbursement. Mr. Ritchie stated that in the event that a municipality did not provide the staff assistance on the in-kind basis to offset their share of the expenses, then the escrow would back up that cost and the exposure would be limited to the $5,000 escrow.

Trustee Grunthal asked if the $5,000 is for Phase I.

Mr. Ritchie advised that it is for the two grants, $2,500 each.

Trustee Markus asked how much a municipality has to contribute for the design manuals that are being put together by the State.

Mr. Ritchie advised that this is part of the $2,500 grant as well.

Trustee Markus asked if the GPS is going to be applied to all storm water management throughout all the municipalities listed in the Agreement.

Mr. Ritchie said yes.

Trustee Griffin, Jr. asked how the new DEC Regulations on storm water retention will be affected since Mount Kisco is one-hundred percent in DEP country and their storm water regulations are much more stringent then the current State Regulations, will the new regulations supercede DEP or not.

Mr. Ritchie stated that he has discussed this with the Village Attorney and in his opinion they are in addition.

Trustee Griffin, Jr. stated that the odds are we will have stricter regulations due to DEP.

Mr. Ritchie said that he is not sure, maybe in areas that the DEP addresses that the DEC does not, but clarified that he is not an expert on the DEP.

Trustee Griffin, Jr. asked if there are any potential liabilities down the road if pollutants are discovered and what if clean-up is required.

Mr. Ritchie explained that in the model legislation it provides that in the event you determine there is a source of pollution as a result of testing and sampling of the discharges, you are obligated to try and find it and correct it.

Trustee Griffin, Jr. asked if there is any funding available through the State.

Mr. Ritchie said that he is not aware of any funding.

Village Attorney, Mr. Singleton, said that there are penalty provisions for the polluter but the municipality is basically being made sheriff to carry out the regulations that the DEC has imposed.

Trustee Markus asked if there will be water testing in addition to the mapping.

Mr. Ritchie said that step one is the mapping which is setting up a protocol so the municipality can establish a baseline and then do periodic samplings and testing. Mr. Ritchie said that what we want is municipalities to use a common format so that when the data is collected it is helpful and it is readable by anyone in the water shed.

Mayor Cindrich said that one of the questions that have not been answered is the location of the municipalities involved. Mayor Cindrich said that Mount Kisco does not share borders with any of the municipalities and we have very little in common especially with those communities that are discharging into the Long Island Sound. Mayor Cindrich said that some of our storm water is running into New Castle and some of Bedford's storm water is ending up in Mount Kisco and then eventually into New Castle. Mayor Cindrich asked how we integrate that data and what if anything are those two Towns doing.

Mr. Ritchie said that participation in this grant was offered to any municipality and it is those who took advantage of it and who indicated interest in participating and applying for assistance. Mr. Ritchie stated that a criteria for the grant was that it be more than one municipality but did not have to be contiguous. Mr. Ritchie said that there wasn't anyway that they could say that a municipality must participate.

Trustee Markus asked if it is possible that other municipalities are taking advantage of it with an application separate from this one.

Mr. Ritchie said that he didn't think so.

Trustee Markus said that the bottom line is that we have to meet these requirements whether or not we procure a grant or not so this will offset funds that would have had to be utilized for this program.

Trustee Griffin, Jr. said that he has questions on how complete the mapping is going to be with all those holes in it.

Mr. Ritchie said that he agrees and would have preferred if the County had indicated an interest in taking the lead on this and doing it for everyone but this wasn't the case.

Mayor Cindrich said that is would seem reasonable from an engineering standpoint that the County would have taken the lead and segmented it to communities that are at least coterminous with each other.

Mayor Cindrich said that Mount Kisco is landlocked by Bedford, New Castle and Yorktown and a lot of our issues are with those communities. Mayor Cindrich asked if New Castle and Bedford are going to be mandated to undertake this project and is our data going to be integrated into their data in a cohesive way.

Mr. Ritchie said that he couldn't tell us that from this grant.

Mayor Cindrich asked if Mount Kisco is going to have to do this again.

Mr. Ritchie said that this is why they have taken the initiative to involve the County in our Grant. Mr. Ritchie said that it is written into the Grant that the information will be consistent with their GIS protocol. Mr. Ritchie said that under this agreement Mount Kisco is required to sign a Data Sharing Agreement with the County so that this data is made available to them and then Mount Kisco will get any data available at no cost. Mr. Ritchie said that if there is a standard that is established from the County, his expectation is that it is going to be around this work. Mr. Ritchie said that to some extent this approach by DEC for the Phase II Storm Water Regulations, as it applies to the political jurisdictions, is inconsistent with how storm water management has been approached by the County thus far and that the County has been working on a watershed basis. Mr. Ritchie said that the explanation for this is "the municipalities have the control of the land use", and this is where the municipalities have the authority over zoning, planning and land use regulations. It is a good question as to why this wasn't addressed on a watershed basis which would have answered some of Mount Kisco's questions.

Mr. Singleton said that when you look at some of the communities that are involved, none are in our general local and we do not know what the potential downfalls in signing onto to this agreement are. Mr. Singleton asked why Bedford, New Caste, North Castle, North Salem and Lewisboro are not participating in this agreement. Mr. Singleton said that the void of the other municipalities raises some concerns and suspicions on his part.

Mr. Ritchie said that he does not know why they are not participating.

Mayor Cindrich said that he would also like to know the reason. Mayor Cindrich said that he is an advocate of regional planning and undertaking these types of projects in a regional fashion and has difficulty accepting this project because it is a County-Wide issue more than it is Westchester-Regional. Mayor Cindrich said that he understands the reluctance because some communities may not want to be lumped in with a community of thirty-four square miles when they are three square miles. Mayor Cindrich said that we do not have anything in common with a lot of these municipalities participating in the grant program.

Mr. Ritchie said that every municipality in the County received notice of the grant, there were a number that we were already working with it and maybe there was an affinity for the people who were already familiar with what we were doing in storm-water management and maybe there were communities that have more of a responsive interest.

Mayor Cindrich said we are all sensitive to the environment, but it is New York City water that we are protecting and they should be paying for this. Mayor Cindrich said that we are being hit with all these unfunded mandates and are required to comply. Mayor Cindrich said that if the DEP wants us to protect their natural resource they should fund it. Mayor Cindrich said that we are doing what we can with a host of programs that we have incorporated into our planning process but in storm water runoff, Mount Kisco is unique because we are entirely in the watershed and everything that we do is regulated by DEP.

Mayor Cindrich asked Village Manager, Bill Williams, to explore what has been discussed this evening and we will table the resolution.

A. Level of Byram Lake

Village Manager, Bill Williams, advised that the overall level at Byram Lake continues to be high at 100.7% capacity as of April 18, 2005.

B. Village Manager, Bill Williams, advised that he has received a resignation letter from Andrew Tiess, Water & Sewer Superintendent resigning from his position effective April 22, 2005. Mr. Williams said that he will be missed. Mr. Williams said that he brought us from non-filtered water to filtered water and without his contributions the filter plant would not have gone on line and appreciate what he did for our Village.

Mayor Cindrich said that the significant contribution that Andy made to the Water and Sewer Department is the retrofitting of the Leonard Park Wells that were poorly designed and mal-functioning and possibly the cause of many water main breaks because of the design of the system and we thank him for his expertise in correcting this problem.

5) Board Reports -

Trustee Griffin, Jr. advised that he met with Pete Scala and it was brought to his attention that there may be some problems with the bridge on Legion Way. Trustee Griffin, Jr. said he will bring this up at the next Buildings and Grounds meeting and have a recommendation to the Board.

Mayor Cindrich advised that he attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Ambulance Corp and also the dedication ceremony of the Cancer Treatment Center. Mayor Cindrich advised that the Village was presented with a certificate during the Earth Day Ceremonies this past Sunday at the Valhalla Dam.

Mayor Cindrich said that the Village Manager presented to the Board a responsible budget that will provide services to the community in a most efficient and effective way. Mayor Cindrich thanked the Manager for involving all the department heads in this budget. Mayor Cindrich said that both the Federal Government and State Government has other priorities and the subsidies that have been given to small municipalities in the past are not coming from these agencies at this point in time. Mayor Cindrich stated that the original tax increase was in the range of 7.6%, but with this Board and the Finance Committee we worked at reducing areas that we could to a 6.75% increase. Mayor Cindrich thanked everyone involved, Patti Hogan, Tom Warren, Jim Palmer, Bill Williams and all the department heads for recognizing that this Village is a diverse community and that we have to protect and treat everyone fairly and be concerned with our Senior Citizens and people on fixed incomes. Mayor Cindrich said that he would have liked not to see a tax increase but State Policies, Insurance, Workers Compensation and Retirement costs are spiraling and continue to spiral.
