About Tarrytown, New York
Tarrytown is a village in the town of Greenburgh in Westchester County, New York, United States. It is located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, about 25 miles (40 km) north of midtown Manhattan in New York City, and is served by a stop on the Metro-North Hudson Line. To the north of Tarrytown is the village of Sleepy Hollow (formerly “North Tarrytown”), to the south the village of Irvington and to the east unincorporated parts of Greenburgh. The Tappan Zee Bridge crosses the Hudson at Tarrytown, carrying the New York State Thruway (Interstates 87 and 287) to South Nyack,Rockland County and points in Upstate New York. The population was 11,277 at the 2010 census.
The Native American Weckquaesgeek tribe, who were closely related to the Wappinger Confederacy and further related to the Mohicans, lived in the area prior to European settlement. They fished the Hudson River for shad, oysters and other shellfish. Their principal settlement was at what is now the foot of Church Street near the Hudson River shore, between the current location of Losee Park and the Tappan Zee Bridge, at a place they called Alipconk, or the “Place of Elms”.
The first European settlers of Tarrytown were Dutch farmers, fur trappers, and fishermen. Records show that the first Dutch residence in Tarrytown was built in 1645; however, the exact location of this residence is not known. Tarrytown sits within the lands of the former Dutch Colony of New Netherland which became English territory in 1674 with the signing of the Treaty of Westminster. The Dutch called the area “Terwe Town” (Wheat Town); the soil was light and ideal for growing cereal grains like wheat, leading to its Dutch name. Mispronounciations led to the current name of Tarrytown.
In 1780, in a famous Revolutionary War incident, Major John André was arrested as a spy in Tarrytown, exposing the treasonous plans of associate Benedict Arnold. André, a British army officer, was traveling south through the village on the Albany Post Road when he was stopped and searched by three local militiamen. When suspicious papers were found in his boot, he was arrested as a spy and later convicted and hanged. A circumstantial account of the capture of André by militiamen David Williams, John Paulding and Isaac Van Wart, was written in 1903 by the owner and publisher of the Tarrytown Argus, Marcius D. Raymond.
Tarrytown was described in 1820 by the writer Washington Irving in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow“. Irving began his story, “In the bosom of one of those spacious coves which indent the eastern shore of the Hudson, at that broad expansion of the river denominated by the ancient Dutch navigators of the Tappan Zee, and where they always prudently shortened sail and implored the protection of St. Nicholas when they crossed, there lies a small market town or rural port which by some is called Greenburgh, but which is more generally and properly known by the name of Tarry Town.” The Underground Railroad ran through Tarrytown prior to the end of the U.S. Civil War.
Tarrytown later became a favorite residence for many rich New Yorkers, including John D. Rockefeller, who first moved to Tarrytown in 1893. Kykuit, Rockefeller’s elaborate mansion, was completed in 1906. In 1914, Kykuit became the site of numerous labor protests by radical anarchists, which were broken up by police in a series of violent clashes. Kykuit was the intended target of at least two bombing attacks planned by anarchists associated with the radical journalists Alexander Berkman and Luigi Galleani.
On November 19, 1915, a powerful dynamite bomb was discovered at Cedar Cliff, the Tarrytown estate of John D. Archbold, President of the Standard Oil Company. Police theorized the bomb was planted by anarchists and Industrial Workers of the World radicals as a protest against the execution of IWW member Joe Hill in Salt Lake City. The bomb was discovered by a gardener, John Walquist, who found four sticks of dynamite, weighing a pound each, half hidden in a rut in a driveway fifty feet from the front entrance of the residence. The dynamite sticks were bound together by a length of wire, fitted with percussion caps, and wrapped with a piece of paper matching the color of the driveway, a path used by Archbold in going to or from his home by automobile. The bomb was later defused by police.
The Christ Episcopal Church, First Baptist Church of Tarrytown, Foster Memorial AME Zion Church, Washington Irving High School, North Grove Street Historic District,Patriot’s Park, and Tarrytown Music Hall are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lyndhurst and Sunnyside are listed as National Historic Landmarks.
The General Motors car manufacturing plant North Tarrytown Assembly was located in North Tarrytown until 1996. Today’s Metro-North Railroad‘s Hudson Line runs through the abandoned property.
Sleepy Hollow Mayor Philip Zegarelli in March 2007 met with Tarrytown Mayor Drew Fixell and district superintendent Howard Smith to discuss forming a blue-ribbon panel that would explore the pros and cons of an intermunicipal agreement. The two villages have shared a school district for 55 years. The villages already shared some services to lower their expenses, but the greatest reductions, especially in school and property taxes, would come from merging the two villages. However, each village has its own assessment roll. Zegarelli, who led an unsuccessful attempt in the mid-1970s to disaffiliate Sleepy Hollow from the town of Mount Pleasant, continues to advocate for secession – Sleepy Hollow from Mount Pleasant and Tarrytown from Greenburgh – as another way to save money. “If the idea is to save money, why have two levels of government?” he asked. The town of Mount Pleasant blocked Sleepy Hollow’s effort to secede, largely because it did not want to lose tax revenue from General Motors, Zegarelli said.
In 2014, Tarrytown was ranked second in the list of the top 10 places to live in New York according to the national online real estate brokerage Movoto….

Observations About FOI Requests In Tarrytown
Tarrytown like many villages in New York State, is part of a larger town, Greenburgh, which is part of a county, Westchester, which in turn is part of New York State. The population of Greenburgh is split roughly between six incorporated villages and three unincorporated areas. Hastings-On-Hudson is located in the southwest corner of the town; it shares membership in the town with Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Irvington and Tarrytown. Three unincorporated Census-designated places also exist: Fairview, Greenville and Hartsdale. All told, Greenburgh counts about 90,000 plus. residents.
Hastings-On-Hudson, Ardsley and Dobbs Ferry all provide breakdowns of town employees and their salaries in their budgets and provide links to PDFs of their budgets on their websites, and while Elmsford does not have this information online, the village administrator/clerk will respond to a request for it. Tarrytown and Irvington, on the other hand, require a Freedom of Information request be filed for the information.
In Tarrytown, not only is this information not readily available; it is unclear whether it is on line at all, based on the following interaction with the village’s Clerk :
-Can you tell me how to find a current list of Tarrytown town employees and their salaries? I’d like to use it as part of a project I’m working on as part of an urban studies class I’m taking at Fordham University. Thanks!
-Please complete the attached Freedom of Information form and return to me. Thank you.
-I’m confused. Is this information not available electronically? Would it be available in the most recent town budget?
-Information requested must be submitted via a FOI request
And So It Goes.

| 03/02/2015 Sample Board of Trustees Minutes
Village of Tarrytown Regular Meeting No. 27 March 2, 2015 8:00 p.m. The meeting began with the Pledge to the Flag. REPORTS Mayor Fixell reported on the following:
Trustee Hoyt noted that the Tarrytown Parks and Recreation Advisory Council are finalizing the Tarrytown Recreation Spring and Summer Brochure and will be available soon on our website. Trustee Butler noted two items:
ADMINISTRATORS REPORT Administrator Blau reported the following: Farmers Market Community Meeting – There is a Farmers Market flyer being distributed regarding the Community Meeting. The flyer states that “If the library parking lot is full, there is street parking in the small municipal behind the library lot on Wildey Street.” Administrator Blau noted that people should not park in that lot because it is not a Village owned parking lot; it is privately owned. The flyer will be corrected. Pothole Killer Machine – The Village has entered into a pilot project in cooperation with the Villages of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings, Irvington and Sleepy Hollow to determine if a machine, known as the Pothole Killer, is a viable means to address potholes in the Villages during the winter season. The Pothole Killer is designed to provide a permanent repair of potholes during the winter months as opposed to using cold mix asphalt, which based upon weather, has very limited effectiveness in the repair of potholes. The New York State Department of Transportation has contracted with the Pothole Killer for the past few years in every region in the state. As part of the pilot program, every Village will receive 11 hours of repair work with the Pothole Killer. Tarrytown was scheduled for this Wednesday, however, due to the warming weather for tomorrow which will create wet holes and makes the Pothole Killer process less effective and rain in the forecast for Wednesday, the schedule for the Villages of Irvington, Elmsford, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow will be modified. The streets to be addressed with the Pothole Killer machine are: 1.~ Starting at the intersection of Depot Plaza and White St, White Street to Franklin 2.~ Franklin, from White to S. Broadway 3.~ Neperan Rd starting at Broadway to Village line 4.~ Altamont 5.~ Rosehill 6.~ Leroy 7.~ Meadow 8. ~Independence 9.~ Park 10. Miller 11. Riverview We do not know how far down the list 11 hours will provide, but we believe that our residents will see a difference. Snow Removal – The Village, as well as communities throughout the area, are once again experiencing a salt shortage. As of today, DPW has about 100 tons of a sand salt mix with five hundred tons on order.~ Under normal circumstances the salt company delivers within 3 business days on an order. However, the DPW Superintendent placed the new salt order a week ago and based upon contact with the salt company, we are not on the delivery schedule. According to the salt company, the problem this year is not enough trucks. They used this same excuse last year but would not allow municipal trucks to come to the depot to pick up salt. The latest that the Superintendent has heard within his professional organization was that the salt company is low on stored salt. The Village uses approximately 150 tons of salt for a short duration low intensity snow storm. The Village has used as much as 300 tons for the two ice storms that occurred this winter season. According to the DPW Superintendent, more salt is used in a 1 to 3 inch storm longer duration snow storm than a one foot storm fast duration snow storm. The Village has filed a complaint with the New York State Office of General Services, which is the state agency responsible for state bids that local municipalities can utilize. Ice Skating – As one of our protocols when a staff member goes out onto the lake to test the ice, the staff member will be wearing a life vest and have a rope tied around them just in case they might fall through the ice. In addition, the Tarrytown Fire Ice Rescue Team must be on site in case of an emergency. The Recreation Supervisor had scheduled the test of the ice today, but due to the weather, the Fire Department cancelled today and the testing has been rescheduled for this Wednesday, weather permitting. Hopefully this will happen, because without testing the ice to be sure it is at least 6 inches thick, the Village will not be able to permit ice skating at the Tarrytown Lakes. Trustee Butler asked Administrator Blau if the Department of Public Works has a contingency plan with regard to the salt shortage. Administrator Blau stated that we do reach out to other communities to obtain salt. CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC RECOGNITION – RICHARD MILLER Mayor Fixell noted that he is pleased to recognize Richard Miller who was born in Tarrytown and has recently moved to the Washington D.C. area to live near his son. He has been the Village Historian for the last ten years and has dedicated himself to the great work he did for our Village. Unfortunately, he is not here tonight to receive this award, but we will mail it to him. WHEREAS, Richard Miller has been a life-long resident of the Village of Tarrytown where he and his wife, Lee Ann, raised their son, Christopher; and WHEREAS, Richard Miller has given many years of dedicated volunteer service to the Village of Tarrytown; and WHEREAS, Richard served as Village Historian for the Village of Tarrytown from 2005 to 2015; and WHEREAS, Richard has helped many people from Tarrytown, as well as from all over the country, by tracing genealogy, taking photos of ancestral houses and gravestones and researching the rich history of the Village. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Drew Fixell, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the Village of Tarrytown, and on behalf of the entire Board of Trustees and all our citizens, do hereby tender to Richard Miller this certificate of public recognition, extending to him our deep appreciation for his distinguished volunteer service to the community. OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ONLY ON AGENDA ITEMS.

SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING – PERMIT PARKING Trustee Zollo moved, seconded by Trustee Hoyt, 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 schedule a Public Hearing for the regular meeting of March 16, 2015, to hear and discuss and act upon a proposed amendment to the Code of the Village of Tarrytown, Chapter 291, Vehicles and Traffic, Article VI.

Motion carried. 7-0 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 Mark Fry, member of the Tarrytown Lakes Committee, presented the Tarrytown Lakes Committee’s progress report since 2005. The report will be attached hereto as part of the official record of this meeting. Mayor Fixell thanked the Tarrytown Lakes Committee for all their time and effort. Mayor Fixell noted he would make one correction to the report in regard to costing $1.2 million to purchase 11.5 acres of park land. We were able to reduce the cost of that park land. Cathy Ruhland , Chairperson of the Tarrytown Lakes Committee, stated the following:
Mayor Fixell stated that he believes all the members of the Board of Trustees want to have skating on the Tarrytown Lakes. Unfortunately, we had an employee go through the ice in 2014 at an area on the ice which should have been as thick and solid as all the other areas. We have to measure the thickness of the ice in a very comprehensive fashion, which is part of the protocols we put together. We need to make a comprehensive map of the entire skating area to see if there are spots that are not as solid as the rest. We had a drone fly over the lakes and photographed the ice before the snow fell and it did suggest that there are differences in the thickness of the ice based upon different colors of the ice, as well as patterns and cracking of the ice. The plan is to have the Fire Department Ice Rescue Team and the recreation personnel test the ice in a very comprehensive measure to see if the ice is consistently frozen and there are not spots on the ice that could be dangerous. Hopefully the measuring of the ice will occur this week. We will have to look into the skate shack repairs in terms of the capital budget. Trustee Butler thanked Cathy Ruhland and Mark Fry and the entire Tarrytown Lakes Committee for an outstanding job since 2005. He thanked them for their tireless hours of overseeing the improvements at the Tarrytown Lakes. John Osterman, Tarrytown resident, supports the effort to have ice skating on the Tarrytown Lakes. He has lived in Tarrytown most of his life and has many memories of ice skating that he hopes will continue. Trustee McGovern responded to last week’s article in the River Journal as follows: After reading the interview with Paul Janos in the River Journal last week, she was bothered by a statement that taxes are pushing residents out of Tarrytown. To set the record straight, the following are actual verified facts concerning the important subject of taxes in Tarrytown. While Paul Janos was in office, his administration’s tax rate increase averaged approximately 8 percent. While under our administration, the average tax increase was 4.75 percent. Paul Janos’ tax levy increase was 7.3 percent while our administration’s tax levy increase has been 2.9 percent since 2005 and 1.4 percent since 2008. We have been under the State’s two percent tax cap every year, something other municipalities have been unable to accomplish. Trustee McGovern hopes that this clarifies Tarrytown’s recent taxation history. Taxes are an area of deep concern for the Mayor and our board. We will continue to look for cost saving measures, additional ways to keep taxes down while bringing new revenue into our Village. ADJOURNMENT Trustee Basher moved, seconded by Trustee Hoyt, and unanimously carried, that the meeting be adjourned at 8:40 p.m. Carol A.
