PUBLIC HEARINGS: June 12, 2024 A motion to open a Public Hearing to consider Local Law Introductory No. 7 of 2024 to amend Chapter 230 of the Village Code, Zoning to provide for the creation of the Indian Brook/Croton Gorge Watershed Protection Overlay District was made by Trustee Simon. Motion was seconded by Trustee Nicholson and approved with a 5-0 vote. Village Manager Healy explained that this law is the culmination of a fifteen- year process that the Village undertook with the Town of Cortlandt, Town of New Castle, and the Town and Village of Ossining, the five municipalities received funding from New York State in early 2000 and the “Indian Brook Croton Gorge Watershed Conservation Act Action Plan” was published in 2008 to protect the drinking water sources for these five municipalities. Village Manager Healy advised that this has been reviewed by our Planning Board, and the Waterfront Advisory Committee, and they have given their general approval to the Plan. Village Manager Healy stated that we’ve heard concerns that some large tracks of property owned by the MTA and Westchester County are not included in this Plan, these properties are located outside of our watershed and they do not have an impact on the drinking water supply, additionally our local zoning has no control over Metro North or Westchester County properties and including them or not including them would have the same result since they do not have to follow these regulations. Mayor Pugh asked Village Manager Healy to address some of the concerns that he received from residents that live in the covered zone that are not on sewers and rely on septic systems and are concerned with what impact this might have in the future if they needed to replace their septic tank. Village Manager Healy advised that septic systems that currently exist at the time this law is adopted will be allowed to remain and if a septic system failed it could be replaced if the property does not have the ability to connect to the Village’s sewer system. Village Manager Healy stated that under this new law the property owner would have to have their septic system pumped out once every three years and septic systems would not be able to expand into the buffer area. COMMENTS: Earl DePass, 10 Nordica Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that it would have been helpful to have the original map superimposed over the new map so that residents could clearly see the impact. Mr. DePass added that the Village Board of Trustees June 12, 2024 original plan talked about conservation, protecting our estuaries and wildlife and he is concerned that we have not heard any discussion about conservation. Mr. DePass addressed Ossining’s sewer break and its effect on the Croton River and asked if that area would be included in the new map. Mr. DePass also questioned why the train station parking lot was not included as well as the proposed housing development on Lot A. Village Manager Healy stated that this area drains directly into the Hudson River and is not part of the Croton Gorge/Indian Brook Watershed, the sewer treatment plant in question, is in Ossining and would not be included on Croton’s map. Trustee Politi asked why we would not include the parking lot so that any future development would have to adhere to the rules. Village Attorney Whitehead stated that what we are protecting is the Indian Brook Reservoir, the Indian Brook Basin, the Croton Gorge Basin and the Croton River aquifer, and while the train station parking lot and LOT A were shown on the original map, it was agreed that they are not within the Watershed and should not be part of this plan, but it does not mean that there aren’t other environmental regulations that apply to those areas and they are subject to existing laws under the LWRP. Trustee Murtaugh stated that essentially what is being protected is upstream from Silver Lake. Matthew McGuire, 1 Wayne Street, Croton on Hudson, stated that he is concerned that the proposal for Lot A will block some of his seasonal views, and while he supports affordable housing, he is concerned about the rate of it and its effects on traffic, our water supply and sewer system and asked that the proposed building for Lot A only be three stores high. Mayor Pugh stated that the Village has ample capacity in our water and sewer systems, in terms of traffic and in the context of transit-oriented development, proximity to the train station is a large part of the reason people would hypothetically be choosing to live there, for those who live outside of Croton or those Croton residents who live farther from the train station, that traffic will continue to exist. Marshall Goldberg, 11 Alexander Lane, Croton on Hudson, stated that half of his property would be affected if this law is approved, his property is on a Village Board of Trustees June 12, 2024 septic system and asked if he would be allowed to have an accessory apartment on his property. Village Manager Healy advised that Alexander Lane is not within the buffer zone so a lot of these restrictions in the law would not apply and gave a list of the twenty-one prohibited uses in the Overlay District. 1) Disposal of hazardous material or solid waste, 2) Treatment of hazardous material, except remediation programs authorized by a government agency for treating hazardous material that existed on the site prior to the adoption of this land use law. 3) The creation or manufacturing of any hazardous materials, 4) Dry cleaning, dyeing, printing, photo processing, and any other business that stores, uses, or disposes of hazardous material, unless all facilities and equipment are designed and operated to prevent the release or discharge of hazardous material, 5) Disposal of septage or septic sludge, 6) Automobile service and gas filling stations, 7) New underground storage of petroleum, 8) Petroleum product pipelines, 9) Vehicle Storage Yards/Truck terminals, 10) Contractor’s Yards, 11) The bulk storage of deicing salt, except in municipally-approved impervious structures, 12) Installation of dams, water diversions, and stream channelization except undertaken directly in relationship to drinking water resources, 13) Clearing of more than 30,000 square feet of vegetation without a site plan approval, 14) Landfill of domestic, industrial, construction and demolition, or hazardous materials, 15) Junkyards, 16) Land spreading of sludge or ash, including domestic wastewater or waste industrial process material, except for ash from individual residential heating equipment, 17) New dry wells directly connected to any floor drain, garage drain, wash basin or sink, 18) New fuel storage facilities in any amount greater than 660 gallons, 19) Commercial trash containers and dumpsters which are not under a roof or which are located so that leachate from the receptacle could escape unfiltered and untreated, 20) Any mining activities including consolidated and solution mining activities, unless permitted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 21) Point source discharges, other than discharges authorized by permits issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Village Attorney Whitehead advised that septic systems are approved based on the number of bedrooms, the Building Department would make the determination as to whether the septic needed to go back to the Health Department for a review but since the property is outside the buffer it would not be an issue if it had to be upgraded. Erica Laudon, 124 Penfield Avenue, Croton on Hudson, asked how this impacts wetlands, and would the area behind her home be affected by this. June 12, 2024 Village Manager Healy stated that this has no impact on any other wetlands in the Village. Ed Riely, 110 Truesdale Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that the original map included half of Croton Point and he is disappointed that the MTA property, the County run park, the New York State Department of Transportation, and the New York State Parks Department have been removed from the Plan. Mayor Pugh stated that this provides for a higher level of protection, and the question is are we better off not allowing those twenty-one uses in this area. Trustee Murtaugh stated that this is an improvement to the status quo. Trustee Simon stated that the prohibited uses give a good sense of the things we do not want in our watershed. There being no further comments to come before the Board, a motion to close the Public Hearing was made by Trustee Simon. Motion was seconded by Trustee Politi and was approved a 5-0 vote. A motion to open a Public Hearing to consider Local Law Introductory No. 8 of 2024 to amend Chapter 215 of the Village Code, Vehicles and Traffic, to implement a residential parking permit system on portion of Cedar Lane, Nordica Drive and Truesdale Drive was made by Trustee Murtaugh. Motion was seconded by Trustee Simon and approved with a 5-0 vote.

Village Manager Healy advised that the plan moving forward is to have this as part of the train station parking permit portal and when the LPR (License Plate Reader) system is up and running residents will be able to apply through that system, but since the permit needs to be approved by staff, it will need to be done during office hours. Village Manager Healy stated that there is no cap and there are no fees. Matthew Rubenstein, 105 Truesdale Drive, Croton on Hudson, thanked the Mayor and Board for moving this forward, he understands that this is a process that will help to elevate the overcrowding and dangerous situations that had occurred in this area but believes that ending the parking prohibition at 8:00pm is insufficient because we have seen many trespassers who arrive at Silver Lake Beach and the adjacent parks once lifeguards leave at 7:00pm and stay past nine or ten in the evening. Bob Anderson, 3 Oak Place, Croton on Hudson, stated that he was originally not in favor of the law, but is pleased that the Board came up with a plan and is being more generous with parking spaces and encouraged the Board to make sure the public is aware of where these parking spaces are located. Trustee Simon stated that since we are not tying the fifty-six spaces to the legislation, the Board will have some flexibility and we can certainly adjust where these spaces are located. Joel Gingold, 55 Nordica Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that he is one of those residents who were affected with the no off street parking regulations and supports the resolution, but the key to this will be enforcement and encouraged the Board to continue to monitor this especially with respect to visitor permits. John McClung, 50 Nordica Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that putting fifty- six cars on Nordica Drive is a “bad day” and asked the Board to take that into consideration. June 12, 2024 Village Manager Healy stated that the Village will not be advertising these spaces, the law requires the Village to identify twenty percent of the area, and this will be done through signage. Fire Chief Joshua Karpoff, 368 S. Riverside Avenue, Croton on Hudson, talked about many incidents that occurred on the Croton River and this law will help in many ways to create a semblance of order and help to save lives and encouraged everyone to understand the larger aspects of this law. Paul Kleinman, 71 Nordica Drive, Croton on Hudson, thanked the Board for hiring a “Gatekeeper”, it has been very effective and asked that their hours be changed from 12pm to 8pm, he also agrees that we should extend the parking restrictions past 8pm since it is light out until 9pm, and enforcement is going to be a key factor. Village Manager Healy stated that time limits will be enforced by our Parking Enforcement Officers and will be enforced daily, and if necessary we can add enforcement on Sundays. Andrew Portnoy, Nordica Drive, Croton on Hudson, also expressed his concerns with allowing that many cars on Nordica Drive, it is a small narrow street and encouraged the Board to rethink the number. Village Manager Healy explained that the Village is not adding spaces on Nordica Drive, these parking spaces currently exist. Mayor Pugh stated that the twenty percent is required by State Law, we are responding to many complaints from residents in the area, who could not find parking as well as those who have fishing licenses and the Residential Parking System is a way to balance this. Phyllis Morrow, 61 Nordica Avenue, Croton on Hudson, stated that while she understands parking restrictions are necessary, she is concerned with allowing fifty-six cars along Nordica Drive. Ms. Morrow stated that Mayo’s Landing was turned into a conservation area, and it is important to look at this from that standpoint and realize that without swimming this issue goes away but we all agree that unsupervised swimming is laying us open to serious issues. Jan Klier, 33 Young Avenue, Croton on Hudson, stated that he is pleased that this is moving forward, and stressed that the Board should consider Village Board of Trustees June 12, 2024 experiences that they have delt with in other areas with parking restrictions and apply it to this area. There being no further comments to come before the Board, a motion to close the Public Hearing was made by Trustee Simon. Motion was seconded by Trustee Politi and approved with a 5-0 vote. Resolution #108-2024 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE NICHOLSON, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. WHEREAS the Village of Croton-on-Hudson has seen an increase in visitors to the Croton River area along Cedar Lane, Nordica Drive and Truesdale Drive over the past decade, and WHEREAS the increase in visitors has put a strain on the resources of the Croton-on- Hudson Police Department, who must respond to issues such as parking violations, trespassing and swimmers in distress, and WHEREAS the Village has sought to respond to this increase by implementing parking restrictions on the aforementioned streets on weekends and holidays during the summer months, and WHEREAS these parking restrictions have helped to abate the problems in the neighborhood, but inconvenienced the residents, and WHEREAS the Village Board of Trustees has sought home rule legislation since 2019 to implement a residential parking permit system in the Croton River area, and WHEREAS in 2023, the state legislature passed a bill to permit the residential parking system, which was signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul on September 15, 2023, and WHEREAS, since that time, the Village Board has sought comments from, and listened to, the residents of the Croton River area as well as residents who use Mayo’s Landing and Silver Lake Park for recreational activities, and WHEREAS the Village would now like to amend Chapter 215 of the Village Code, Vehicles and Traffic, to implement a residential parking permit system along certain portions of Cedar Lane, Nordica Drive and Truesdale Drive, and Village Board of Trustees June 12, 2024 WHEREAS Local Law Introductory No. 8 of 2024 has been drafted for such purposes, and WHEREAS the Village Board held a public hearing to consider Local Law Introductory No. 8 of 2024, which was opened and closed on June 12, 2024, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Board of Trustees hereby adopts Local Law Introductory No. 8 of 2024, amending Chapter 215 of the Village Code, Vehicles and Traffic, to implement a residential parking permit system along certain portions of Cedar Lane, Nordica Drive and Truesdale Drive, which upon adoption becomes Local Law No. 9 of 2024. Trustee Nicholson stated that the big issue is figuring out where those fifty-six spaces should go and recommended that we pass the law tonight and continue the discussion of where these spaces should be located. Village Manager Healy stated that we will not be able to implement the system until we designate those spaces. Trustee Simon thanked everyone for all their constructive comments. Trustee Murtaugh agreed that enforcement is a key component to this law, the Board will try to be fair where these parking spaces are allocated and thanked everyone for their input. Trustee Politi asked if the law would need to be redone if we changed the time. Mayor Pugh stated that we would have to re-notice the law but recommended we adopt this now and we can always revisit the law. 7.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS: Joshua Karpoff, 368 S. Riverside Avenue, Croton on Hudson and Chief of the Croton Fire Department, spoke in favor of the proposed Telecommunication Law. Chief Karpoff explained the importance of increasing cellular service for residents and for our emergency services because more and more people are relying on cellular. Chief Karpoff added that the topography of our community is also not friendly to radio waves and while he appreciates the natural beauty of the Village, it is imperative that we have more access to cellular networks. Police Chief Nikitopoulos spoke in favor of the Village moving forward on the telecommunications law, with the growth of the village it is important to improve the communications for the community and our first responders. Chief Nikitopoulos stated that a cellular tower in the Hessian Hills area would improve radio communications which is a major issue for the Police Department. On motion by Trustee Politi and seconded by Trustee Nicholson the Board of Trustees approved suspending the Rules of Procedure to allow Trustee Simon to speak. Motion was approved with a 5-0 vote. Trustee Simon stated that we have on the agenda this evening a resolution to enter into an agreement with Westchester County for mobile radios and assumes that by improving our cell service it will also improve this type of communications. June 12, 2024 Chief Nikitopoulos explained that mobile radios are for emergencies throughout the County where all emergency services have to be able to communicate and they are especially important to the Police Department. Earl DePass, 10 Nordica Drive, Croton on Hudson, supports the comments made by our Fire and Police Chiefs about the need for better cellular service and highlighted some of the problems they had with respect to the Hydrilla Project because of the lack of cell service to operate the pumps. Mr. DePass also stressed the importance of educating the community because there seems to be a lot of misinformation regarding radiation levels from cell towers. Mr. DePass stated that the Board spend a lot of time this evening reviewing the Environmental Assessment Form and encouraged the Board to make sure that the Indian Brook/Croton Gorge Watershed Protection Overlay District Plan protects our wildlife, fishing and erosion and believes that development is also a big part of this. Joel Gingold, 55 Nordica Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that the Board is proposing an Agreement with Sustainable Westchester which would require Croton’s participation in a two-year CCA program beginning this November, but at this time we have no idea what the price of electricity is nor what the power supply will be, but as he reads the MOU, the village would be obligated to participate regardless of whatever price Sustainable Westchester negotiates, under the current CCA Agreement Village residents are paying up to sixty percent more above the standard Con Edison rate for power. Mr. Gingold stated that it is imperative that there be outreach to the community and asked the Board to take a pause until we get all the data and let the community understand how this program might affect them and to not rush into signing this agreement. Aaron Lamar, 228 Hessian Hills Road, Croton on Hudson, stated that it is a misrepresentation that the Telecommunications Advisory Committee recommended that cell towers be allowed in the RA40 District, in the TAC’s recent letter and at their last meeting they advised that “Spot Zoning” which is illegal, could be resolved only by either removing or including all of RA40, but that was a decision for the Board to make. Mr. Lamar stated that Televate indicated that we are already served by multiple cell towers in and on the edge of Croton, and that there are many companies that install small cell systems in Westchester, and while he understands that small cell sites can cost tens of thousands of dollars per location, he believes the Village owes it to their residents a one-time expense to protect our neighborhoods. June 12, 2024 Mr. Lamar stated that just because our existing law gets a failing grade does not mean we should accept a new law that gets a C minus. Ed Riely, 110 Truesdale Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that he objects to the Indian Brook Watershed Plan because the Board is not recognizing and regulating the other big polluters in the Village and encouraged the State and local communities to put in an emergency plan that would provide access to places to swim during heat waves. 11.

Resolution #117 of 2024 On motion of TRUSTEE MURTAUGH, seconded by TRUSTEE NICHOLSON, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton- on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. WHEREAS the Village of Croton-on-Hudson assumed the ownership of and maintenance requirements for the Half Moon Bay Bridge over the Metro-North Railroad tracks in 1996, and WHEREAS in order to address past safety issues and the proper maintenance of the bridge, the Village is moving ahead with the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Half Moon Bay Bridge, and WHEREAS the Village’s consulting engineer for the project, Tectonic Engineering, has been in contact with Metro-North Railroad to authorize entry onto the railroad property, and WHEREAS Metro-North Railroad has provided an entry permit to allow the Village and its authorized contractors to enter the railroad right-of-way, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Board hereby authorizes the Village Manager to execute the entry permit provided by Metro-North Railroad, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funding for the entry permit fee of $2,000 and any other associated costs is available in the following capital account: H5110.2106.15287. Resolution #118 of 2024 WHEREAS on April 20, 2015, the Village Board of Trustees approved a resolution to enter into an agreement to participate in a Sustainable Westchester Community Choice Village Board of Trustees June 12, 2024 Aggregation (“CCA”) program for the purpose of procuring an energy supplier who will contract with the Village to supply energy for its residents, and WHEREAS on April 4, 2022, the Village Board of Trustees authorized the continued participation in the CCA program beginning July 1, 2022, and WHEREAS Sustainable Westchester has provided the Village with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding its participation in the program for the period beginning November 1, 2024, and WHEREAS, the Village Board has elected to participate in the next iteration of the program, with a final decision on the pricing option to be made after the rates are determined, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Board of Trustees hereby authorizes the Village Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding with Sustainable Westchester regarding the Village of Croton-on-Hudson’s participation in the next CCA iteration. Village Manager Healy explained that the Board met with a representative from Sustainable Westchester where they provided the Board with three MOU options, the Village Board agreed at that time to go with the option that allowed the Board to make a decision after the bids came in, today we received an updated MOU with changes and Village Attorney Whitehead discovered that this language is not exactly as it was in the prior version and is not what this Board agreed to. Village Manager Healy stated that since we are under a deadline, he suggested that we approve this subject to the Village Attorney’s review and approval. Village Attorney Whitehead explained that the reason they are asking for the MOU to be signed is because they need to guarantee, when Sustainable Westchester puts this out to bid, that they have a certain number of municipalities committed to participate. Village Attorney Whitehead stated that after the bids come in, the Village can choose which pricing option will be the Village’s default. Trustee Nicholson stated that we are committed to working with Sustainable Westchester and giving our residents a choice, residents are sent a letter indicating what the charges are and the letter indicates that they can opt out of the program and suggested that the Village does additional outreach once the rates are determined so that everyone knows that they have a choice even though the Village has defaulted them into the program. June 12, 2024 Resolution #119 of 2024 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE NICHOLSON, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton- on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. WHEREAS the Village of Croton-on-Hudson has identified several traffic and safety concerns along state roads within its jurisdiction, and WHEREAS Village Manager Bryan Healy has communicated these concerns in a memorandum dated June 3, 2024, to the Village Board of Trustees, and WHEREAS the Board of Trustees has reviewed and considered the requests detailed in the memorandum, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York: Supports the elimination of two parking spaces on the north side of Maple Street between the Asbury Methodist Church driveway and Old Post Road South. The road slightly narrows in this area, there are line of sight issues when exiting the church driveway and a Bee-Line bus stop is located here, which are all factors in support of eliminating parking in this section. Supports the request to the NYSDOT to implement a phased reduction of the speed limit on Route 129 east of the Village line, in the Town of Cortlandt, from 45 mph to 30 mph. The premise behind this idea is that, by gradually lowering the speed limit by 5 mph at various intervals, vehicles will be more likely to drive the Village speed limit of 30 mph. Currently, the speed limit on Route 129 in the Town is 45 mph and has a 15 mph drop at the Village line. Supports the request to prohibit left turns from the northern exit of the Van Wyck Shopping Center. With the imminent completion of the 33-unit Maple Commons project, an increase in pedestrian traffic in the area is expected. The southern exit of the shopping center currently has a left turn prohibition. This request is reasonable as there is an exit point controlled by a traffic signal which provides for a safer alternative for vehicles wishing to go left (south). AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Village Manager is hereby directed to communicate this resolution and the Village’s support of these requests to the New York State Department of Transportation for their consideration and action. June 12, 2024 Resolution #120 of 2024 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE POLITI, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton- on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. WHEREAS the Village Board of Trustees originally established the Street Vendor License Policy in 2020 to allow businesses the opportunity to vend outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic, and WHEREAS since that time, the policy has been occasionally updated to reflect the changing conditions in the post-pandemic world, and WHEREAS the Village Board of Trustees would now like to amend the Street Vendor License Policy to permit limited vending on Saturdays, in addition to Sundays, and WHEREAS the proposed policy will also remove the Harmon Business District from the permitted vending locations in recognition of the wider sidewalks and the lack of interest in street vending in that district, and WHEREAS the Board of Trustees discussed this request at the June 6, 2024, work session, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees hereby adopts the amended Street Vendor License Policy. Trustee Simon stated that businesses in the Harmon area who want to do a version of this kind of vending can do it just by staying on their very wide sidewalks, and it is our expectation that the businesses who choose to do this will do it in front of their own establishments. Trustee Politi stated that she supports the addition of Saturdays but does not feel we should have removed the Harmon area. Trustee Nicholson stated that the traffic on South Riverside is very heavy, and it is a different world than the Upper Village and there are a lot of parking issues and believes it is safer to keep it on the sidewalks than to take up a parking spot. Village Manager Healy advised that a business who wants to set up on the sidewalk would just need to sketch out their plan showing what they want to do and as long as they have the required sidewalk width, they would be allowed to move forward. June 12, 2024 Resolution #121 of 2024 On motion of TRUSTEE POLITI, seconded by TRUSTEE MURTAUGH, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton- on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote.

Resolution #122 of 2024 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE NICHOLSON, the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton- on- Hudson, New York with a 5-0 vote. WHEREAS the Village currently has a vacant position in the rank of Police Lieutenant in the Croton-on-Hudson Police Department and WHEREAS Chief of Police John Nikitopoulos has recommended that Sergeant Anthony Tramaglini be promoted to the rank of Police Lieutenant to fill this vacancy, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that Sergeant Anthony Tramaglini is hereby promoted to the rank of Police Lieutenant at the annual salary of $159,489.46 per the 2019-2024 Croton Police Association bargaining agreement, effective June 13, 2024.

Trustee Simon stated that our original draft did not include RA40, but after discussions with the Telecommunications Advisory Committee the Board came back with a proposal that included RA40 but only with a five-hundred foot elevation or more, the Committee disagreed and asked that either all or none of RA40 be included and we Board ultimately opted to have all of RA40 in the draft. Trustee Simon stated that he is pleased with the Board’s draft, it is an excellent improvement from the current code as we strive to get the best cellular telecommunications for Croton. Trustee Murtaugh stated that it was a collaborative effort between the Telecommunications Advisory Committee and the Board and cannot think of a suggestion that they made that we did not agree to and looks forward to the Public Hearing. Mayor Pugh thanked the volunteers of the Telecommunications Advisory Committee as well as Trustee Murtaugh and Trustee Simon for serving as the liaisons. Mayor Pugh stated that under the current code cell towers can be located anywhere in the Village and this proposal is a tightening of cell tower locations, but we must take into consideration comments that were made by Fire Chief Karpoff and Police Chief Nitkoupouls that this is a public safety issue.
