WPCNR COMMON COUNCIL CHRONICLE-EXAMINER. By John F. Bailey. August 1, 2005: Councilpersons Arnold Berstein, Benjamin Boykin,  Larry Delgado, Rita Malmud, Thomas Roach, and Mayor Joseph Delfino indicated in brief remarks at 11:30 P.M. Monday evening they would be voting to adopt a supplemental building code which would allow use of plastic pipe in White Plains, but only permit its use in buildings under six stories or 75 feet. The Mayor and Councilmembers stressed this would not allow use of plastic pipe in high rise buildings. The indication of council sentiment came despite an approximate two-hour procession of opponents of permitting plastic pipe in White Plains.

The official vote on the adoption of the amended ordinance, permitting plastic pipe but only in buildings below six stories, will be taken at 5:15 P.M.  Tuesday afternoon.

Mayor Joseph Delfino told the council, "You didn't help developers today. You helped people (homeowners) today."
