Mayor of Yonkers sent this letter to the Chamber of Commerce

March 27, 2008

Dear Friend:

I am writing to you today to ask that you please consider voicing your
support for the proposed Struever Fidelco Cappelli (SFC) project next
month, as we anticipate the project will come before the City Council.
The Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday, April 8, 2008 and Tuesday,
April 22, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall,
4th Floor, 40 South Broadway. On the day of the meeting, it is
recommended you call the City Clerk's Office at 914-377-6020 between 9:00 a.m.
and 3:00 p.m. to confirm SFC is an item on the agenda and, if that is
the case, we would encourage you to sign up as a speaker for that
evening.

Most importantly, the City Council is expected to schedule two public
hearings on the SFC project the end of April, therefore, we will notify
you as soon as these are scheduled with the hope that you will attend
these meetings as well. Your attendance at the City Council meetings
and the public hearings are vital to moving the SFC project forward and
we would ask that you give these meetings priority.

In addition to the above, from time to time other organizations meet,
which is the case with the Yonkers Alliance for Community Benefits. For
your information, they are meeting to discuss SFC tonight from 7 to 9
p.m. at the Nepperhan Community Center, 342 Warburton Avenue and again
on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Will Library, 1500
Central Park Avenue.

With your support, we can ensure that Yonkers best days are still
ahead!

Thank you for your commitment to our city, and please call Christine
Sculti at 377-6085 if you need further information.

Sincerely,

Philip A. Amicone

Mayor

Subject: SFC Yonkers Redevelopment Project - We Need Your Help

Thank you for recently completing the SFC survey. Your input is very important in helping us identify key issues in our Yonkers redevelopment project.

The survey showed that residents are most interested in the tax revenue and economic benefits that our project will bring to Yonkers. People want to see more jobs created in the downtown. And when asked how they would vote on the project, most people said YES.

The SFC project needs to be processed thoroughly but without further delay. The City Council should be comprehensive yet swift with its review.

Yonkers cannot afford to miss this opportunity for major private investment in its downtown. We need our approvals in order to get financial commitments for construction of this project. We have prospective tenants who are ready to come to downtown Yonkers but cannot commit without an approved project.

We need your help NOW!

Please call or write to the City Council members and let them know you support the SFC project.

Voicing your support at public meetings is vitally important. Council meetings tend to be dominated by a handful of vocal critics who want to slow down the approval process. Please email us (info@sfcyonkers.com) and let us know if you would be available to speak in favor of the project at a City Council meeting.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can move forward with this important revitalization of Yonkers.

Regards,
Peter

Mayor Amicone cannot use public funds to Promote Charter Revision Amendments according to the Ethics Board

Ethics Board Decision on Mayor's use of Public Funds to Promote his own Political Agenda. The Ethics Board ruled that he cannot use public funds for the purpose of promoting Charter Revision Amendments.
(This was one of Dennis Robertson issues in last years Mayoral Election. The Editor of this website would like to know if Dennis was aware of this decision. If he was aware of this before the election why did he not make this known to the public. Why is Chuck Lesnick cutting a deal with Mayor Amicone and okaying the use of public funds to promote these amendments. Why was this done in secret and do both of these men have the authority to spend public funds without apparent public oversight?
