Energy Performance – Contract Audit Additionally Present Telephonically: David-John Plis of Celtic Energy The Town Board reviewed the audit by Celtic Energy Inc., of the energy service performance contract between the Town and Honeywell Systems. The audit was initiated to determine whether the Town accomplished the energy savings goals established in the original contract with Honeywell. Mr. Plis gave the Board details of how the audit was conducted, the goals of the audit and the findings. Mr. Plis noted a number of items/issues/disparities that need to be addressed with Honeywell. One of the major discrepancies is with the street lightening. With respect to the street lighting, Mr. Plis went into detail regarding the faulty ballasts, the faulty maintenance contract and the obsolete software for the sentinel control box. Mr. Altieri will follow up with Celtic Energy to provide more detailed information in order to resolve the discrepancies in savings for the street lighting, and details for next steps. Zoning Petition – Myrtle Boulevard Review – Proposal by BFJ Planning for a parking study of WSA The Board questioned why BFJ Planning chose Monday and Friday as days for the occupancy count, adding it appears that they just used the days used by the petitioner’s consultant. The Town Board would like BFJ to determine the most appropriate days to study. The Board would also like to add the time frame of 5:00 to 7:00 pm for the occupancy count. Mr. Altieri will address these issues and changes with Frank Fish, and will bring the proposal back to the Board at the next Board meeting. Review – New York State Comptroller – Fiscal Stress Report Mr. Altieri noted that he added the item of the report by the Office of the New York State Comptroller as an FYI for the Town Board. Aside for it being noted that the Town was well below the threshold of distressed municipalities, there was no additional discussion. 1 October 4, 2017 New Business Councilwoman Elkind Eney reported on the recent Fire Council meeting at which they discussed the application for a self-storage facility on Fifth Avenue, and referral by the Planning Board to the Fire Department, for their sign off on the application. After the site visit by the Fire Department, there was a recommendation to make the driveway also a fire access lane. This will need to be done by passing a Town Law. Additionally, Councilwoman Elkind Eney reported that there continues to be an issue with the new ladder truck, which has yet been received or accepted. There is an issue with the chassis being out of alignment. A consultant has been hired to help make a determination. The Department has not yet made a determination as to how it should proceed. It was also reported that Engine 36 went back to the manufacturer for some issues. Councilwoman Elkind Eney reported that the Masters Swim Program is now dealing directly with the School, rather than through our Recreation Department for their use of the Hommocks Pool. Supervisor Seligson stated that there are residents coming to the meeting this evening to advocate for a sidewalk on Colonial Avenue. Supervisor Seligson stated that she thinks the Town should analyze and evaluate the sidewalk infrastructure as a whole, adding that in any discussion of additional sidewalks, that future maintenance should be considered. Supervisor Seligson suggests that a five year plan be created, similar to the five year plan effectively utilized for roads. Supervisor Seligson would like to view a full map of the sidewalks to better understand the gaps, then develop a criteria for what constitutes a need for a sidewalk. The upcoming food truck event was announced, adding that this is an expensive program, and it should be evaluated for next year. Supervisor Seligson stated that the Sustainability Collaborative was asked for ideas for the use of the $50,000 Clean Energy Community Grant. NYSERDA is excited about the ideas that are already being discussed. The Sustainability Collaborative and NYSERDA nixed some of the original options as not viable. The two top options are for the purchase of an electric hybrid Senior Citizen bus, and the purchase and distribution to residents of 250 programmable thermostats. Supervisor Seligson will distribute the full list of options being considered to the Town Board. Councilman Murphy gave an update on the recent LMC-TV Board of Directors Meeting. Councilman Murphy received an update from Eric Lewis regarding funding from the Village of Mamaroneck, as well as targeted grant funding. Councilman Murphy has spoken to State Assemblyman, Steve Otis who confirmed that any grant funds would need to be issued to the municipality (the Village of Mamaroneck), and not to LMC-TV, as this is a grant to aid municipalities. Mr. Maker will further research that if the bids comes in over 1.5 million, the Village of Mamaroneck’s project estimate, whether it would then fall under the WICS Law. Mr. Maker gave an update on the property at 84 Iselin Terrace, specifically on the time frame for receiving the back taxes and a stay for eviction. Mr. Maker is receiving daily updates. The contract of sale and the accompanying documents are prepared and ready for execution once the funds are received. Should the funds be received, and the documents are in order, then Mr. Maker would bring the executed documents to the Town Center for a transfer of the deed back to the Abramson’s. 2222 Supervisor Seligson noted that she has been contacted by Ralph Engel who is requesting a review of the traffic signal at Myrtle Blvd and N. Chatsworth Avenue. Mr. Engel is suggesting that there be a right turn only lane on Myrtle Blvd approaching N. Chatsworth Avenue. He believes there is a difficult merge after the light as you approach Murray Avenue. Mr. Altieri stated that this was analyzed by the Town’s consultant when the intersection was redone, and the consultant suggested that this doe-see-doe, as it is referred to by the industry, was in fact the best and most effective traffic moving option. Councilwoman Katz reported that at the recent Coastal Zone Management Commission meeting the Commission asked that referrals be sent to them as soon as possible. 2 October 4, 2017 On motion of Councilman Murphy, seconded by Councilwoman Elkind Eney, the Board unanimously agreed to enter into an Executive Session to discuss the employment history of a particular person within the Police Department. EXECUTIVE SESSION Employment History of a Particular Person within the Police Department.

Supervisor Seligson noted that the Town Board met for a worksession beginning at 5:00 o’clock this evening, adding this is an open meeting that all residents’ are welcomed to attend. SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT I attended several programs and events in the past few weeks that I would like to mention. The first was a Zero Emissions Summit on the Citizen’s Role for Mitigating Climate Change on September 21, 2017 at the Scandinavia House in Manhattan. The summit coincided with the UN General Assembly and provided a platform for international business, government, and civil society leaders to highlight and continue the momentum of driving global climate action forward. It was inspiring to hear about efforts in other countries and communities. The president of Finland, and representatives from the UN Convention on Climate Change, Bangladesh, Pittsburgh and Vancouver presented. We are hopeful to replicate some of these efforts in the Town. Larchmont Village dedicated their new pocket park located in the alley next to the bank and the old Ann Taylor store. It’s a lovely spot to take a break and appreciate your surroundings. I went to Washington DC last Tuesday with my LIS advocacy colleagues to ask our representatives to increase funding for the restoration of LIS, reauthorize LIS legislation and protect Plum Island. We organized to have 6 congressional representatives from the region together to meet with us in what was a productive meeting. The four senators from NY and CT were very supportive also. I participated in the school robotics teams’ research evening on the theme of the Human Water Cycle. It was great to present to and field questions from smart elementary and middle school students about drinking water and sewer systems. I also went to the Washingtonville Housing Alliance annual event last night where they honored John McDonough for his dedicated volunteer work with residents. One of the nicest and most moving events was the dedication of the new ramp at the Girl Scout House on Harmon Drive. This past Sunday, Regional Girl Scout Leader Pat Allen organized a wonderful event to thank the many donors and volunteers who helped raise money, donate goods and services, donate time and funds and more for the ramp. The effort started with a Girl Scout troop inviting a new girl who is in a wheelchair to join the troop. When they realized the Girl Scout House was not handicap accessible they went to work to change that. One year later, after much work and many donations and volunteer hours the ramp was completed with a new door and new bathroom making the Girl Scout House truly accessible to anyone. It was wonderful to hear about all the people involved in the effort and Pat Allen did a terrific job thanking everyone. She especial thanked Steve Marsh, town resident and builder for donating his services as the contractor for the job. She said they couldn’t have done it without him. Now for some updates: thth The Maxwell Avenue Recycling Center will be closed This Thursday and Friday October 5 and 6 to accommodate the spray painting of the new Larchmont water tank. It will reopen on Saturday 3 October 4, 2017 th October 6. The Paine to Pain trail half marathon is this Sunday at 9 am and that will result in th intermittent road closings as the runners go through the Greenway trail. October 14 from 12 to 4 is the Town of Mamaroneck’s First Food Truck Festival with games for children, 6 food trucks, sales and fun. Thank you to everyone already participating in the Food Waste Composting Program. We have collected over 2,000 pounds of food waste in a little over three weeks. You can buy collection kits at Maxwell Avenue Recycling Center, Town Center and Larchmont Village Hall. Volunteers are also selling them at the Larchmont Farmers Market and special events. The Town has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the NYS Clean Energy Communities program to be used to reduce greenhouse gases. We are working on a proposal. Leaf collection will begin soon. Please do not combine leaves with any other material including grass clippings or branches. You can also mulch-mow your leaves which tears them up to small pieces and they will fertilize the lawn with nutrients. Fiscal stress – scale 0 to 100% 12.5% CITIZEN’S COMMENTS Supervisor Seligson asked if anyone in the audience would like to address the Board. There were a number of residents in attendance to discuss a sidewalk on Colonial Avenue. The following residents all addressed the Board advocating for a sidewalk: Sari Winters, 6 Wildwood Road Amy DiVito, 46 Colonial Avenue Lindsey Gorbich, Colonial Avenue Maria Tortorella, Fernwood Road The following written comments were received from: Melanie Kraut and Wendy Tannenbaum, Murray Avenue PTA Presidents Rupal Gupta, 38 Colonial Avenue Deena Glassman, 34 Colonial Debbie Bolger, 36 Colonial Sari Winter, 6 Wildwood Circle Amy DiVito, 46 Colonial A petition signed by 190 residents advocating for a sidewalk was received. The residents addressing the board spoke of the dangerous conditions during school drop off and pick up. There is concern for the safety of children and adults walking in the road due to lack of a sidewalk. Parking on both sides hinders access for emergency vehicles. Parking on both sides also narrows the street and makes passing of vehicles almost impossible, adding to a more dangerous situation. Pedestrians being forced to walk in the roadway is made more dangerous by speeding traffic. Many of the speakers spoke of specific situations in which they were at danger while navigating Colonial Avenue during school drop off and pick up. Kate Beeby, 81 Colonial Avenue addressed the Board. Ms. Beeby stated that this is a perennial issue that has been discussed for a very long time. She agrees that there are many safety issues on Colonial Avenue, some having been addressed over the years. She requested that should the Town move forward with a sidewalk, which would inevitably be in front of her home, she asked that she not be held to a higher standard, with respect to snow removal. She understands the added burden to a homeowner with a sidewalk, next to a school, in front of their home. She encouraged the Town to look at the street holistically, adding that not all the problems would be solved with a sidewalk. Supervisor Seligson stated that this issue should be a broader discussion with the school district, adding that she will bring this to the next Town Village School (TVS) meeting. Supervisor Seligson also stated that it would be included in the Town’s upcoming 2018 budget discussions. Supervisor Seligson suggested that the residents contact Assemblyman Steve Otis for possible funding streams and grants. 4 October 4, 2017 OUT OF ORDER PUBLIC HEARING – Section 8 Housing Voucher Administrative Plan The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows: LEGAL NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Section 130 of the Town Law of the State of New York, and pursuant to a resolution of the Mamaroneck Town Board adopted on August 23, 2017 a Public Hearing will be held on Wednesday, October 4, at 8:00 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible at the Town Center, 740 W.
