The Greenburgh Town Board postponed till Thursday (11 AM) the vote on
the proposed lease agreement with Game on 365 to construct a recreation/sports
bubble at the abandoned Frank's nursery on Dobbs Ferry Road for a 15 year
term. Members of the Town Board appreciate the input we have been
receiving on the proposed lease from residents and continue to negotiate with
petition signed by a majority of residents who live closest to Frank's nursery
(Westchester View Lane) supporting the proposed bubble.
We appointed Bart Talamani, Town Comptroller, to the new Water District
Advisory Board which will review water rates, infrastructure issues. The Board
also authorized the Commissioner of Public Works to issue a request for
proposals for services from qualified firms that have the ability to provide a
turnkey solution to both upgrade and automate the water metering network
in the town, performing complete project management for the
installation of a fully automated meter infrastructure system along with new
meters.
The Board approved a resolution authorizing the Town Supervisor to execute
a stipulation of settlement with the Valhalla Union Free School district
pertaining to litigation involving the former Westhelp property for a total
amount of $1,100,000. The town will receive $1.1 million from the school
district over a 9 year period (with about half of the money to be received by
the fall of 2013. Councilman Francis Sheehan had some concerns and
voted no.
