Summary:Mr. [Jim Mannion] told Mr. [Ronald C. Tocci] in a meeting in the County Office Building last week that to ''come and take six or seven places in New Rochelle and to turn around and try and penalize the entire county, I don't understand it at all.'' Mr. Tocci said that seven of New Rochelle's 93 bars are on ''the strip,'' where local police were having difficulty ''putting the city to sleep'' in the predawn hours. New Rochelle's problem with rowdyism was ''very bad,'' acknowldeged Mr. Mannion, who owns a Yonkers bar that opens at 8 A.M. and closes at 4 A.M. ''Everybody agrees there's a problem,'' he said. But, the tavern owner said, some of the North Avenue bars generate ''35 to 40 percent'' of their gross business during the hours of 2 to 4 A.M. David Tooley, Mr. [Alfred B. DelBello]'s spokesman, said ''there is no money allocated now.'' ''It is up to the agency to structure itself,'' he said, ''to decide if it needs an executive director, staff, consulting attorney and/or engineer, an office, and then come to us with a budget.'' He said he didn't expect the budget to represent a ''dramatic'' sum and that it probably could be drawn from the proposed 1983 county budget.
