BOSTON POST ROAD, MAMARONECK, NEW YORK PRESENT: Supervisor Nancy Seligson Councilwoman Abby Katz Councilwoman Jaine Elkind Eney Councilwoman Sabrina Fiddelman Councilman Jeffery L. King ALSO PRESENT: Christina Battalia, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator Connie Green O’Donnell, Deputy Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney CALL TO ORDER - WORK SESSION On motion of Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman, the Work Session was unanimously opened at 5:00PM. Discussion – Comprehensive Plan Consultants The Town Board met with a third consultant, Ferrandino & Associates, Inc., for an interview to update the Comprehensive Plan. Representatives from Ferrandino included, Vince Ferrandino, Principal, Brian Demsey of Provident Design Engineering and Susan Hopkins of Highland Planning, subcontractors for Ferrandino. Each of the representatives presented to the Town Board. The presentation was followed by a period of questions and answers. Update – Sewer System Rehabilitation Project The Town Board reviewed a memo from Mr. Altieri, dated October 12, 2018. The memo gave background information as well as an update. The Town Board also received documentation from the Consortium’s consulting engineers, GHD Associates, presenting bid results for Contract P33A (repairs requiring open excavation for the replacement or repair of sections of sewer pipes) and Contract P33B (work to re-line existing sewer pipes). For the Town of Mamaroneck the total cost of the contract is $2,452,053. The original estimate for the repairs was $2,700,000. Additionally, the Consortium received grant funding in the amount of $5.7 million. Mr. Altieri further stated in his memo that “with the favorable bids received for sewer repairs and the grant awarded for the project, this is a perfect opportunity to expand the repairs within the Mamaroneck Sewer District. Therefore, we will be asking the consulting engineer to advise the Town on the cost of the additional work to complete the repairs in the Town portion of the Mamaroneck Valley Sewer District. At this point no further action is required of the Town Board.” Review – Westchester County Immigration Protection Act (IPA) The Town Board previously discussed the IPA and asked that it be further reviewed with the Town Attorney and the Chief of Police. At this juncture the Town feels that the Standard Operating Procedures the Town has in place is favorable to passing a local law. OUT OF ORDER Discussion – Sewer Rent Law The Town Board previously discussed an application from Winged Foot Golf Club to appeal their sewer rent charges. Town law allows for an application to the Town Board for a reduction in that year’s sewer rent fee, if in writing and with supporting documentation. The Town Board previously discussed accepting this 1 October 17, 2018 appeal and additionally whether to amend the law to allow the system user to submit an application every three years rather than annually. The Town received information from the Building Department that these appeals can be flagged in the Municity software, to track any change in the existing water use. Mr. Maker was asked to draft an amendment to the current local law to reflect the change from an annual appeal process, to a three year appeal process. Discussion – Vehicle and Traffic Codification The Town Board received a draft of the Codification of the Town’s Vehicle and Traffic Chapter. The Town Clerk and the Town Attorney updated the Town Board on the status of this multi-year project. There is a current emphasis to finalize the codification before the end of the year. The Town Board was asked to th review the draft Chapter and to make any comments by October 31. At the November 7 Town Board Meeting the Town Clerk and the Town Attorney will have a final draft ready for public hearing at the second Town Board meeting in November. ADDED ITEM Presentation – Town of Mamaroneck Housing Authority (TMHA) Additionally Present: Rick Cherry Chair of the TMHA, TMHA Members, Steve Chapin, Dolores Battalia, Sal Iacono, TMHA Ad-hoc Committee Members, Ben Chapin, Alex Eney and Myles Monaghan, and David Bady. The TMHA presented a conceptual idea for affordable housing in the Town of Mamaroneck, with an emphasis on affordable senior housing in the community. The TMHA presented multiple proposals including site plans and financing structures for affordable housing near the Larchmont train station. On motion of Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman, the Board unanimously agreed to enter into an Executive Session to discuss the purchase of land. EXECUTIVE SESSION Purchase of Land On motion of Councilwoman Fiddelman, seconded by Councilwoman Katz, the Board unanimously agreed to resume the Regular Meeting. OUT OF ORDER Discussion – North Chatsworth Avenue Parking Supervisor Seligson stated that she has received feedback from residents of North Chatsworth Avenue who are very upset with the commuter parking along North Chatsworth Avenue. Supervisor Seligson thinks that a number of these residents may come to address the Town Board during the regular meeting. Supervisor Seligson distributed a collation of all the emails received. Councilman King stated that he continues to believe that there is an issue with visibility turning out of Lafayette Road onto North Chatsworth as well as turning onto North Chatsworth from Edgewood Avenue. It was noted that the Traffic Committee’s position is that they have previously denied changes to other streets with potentially more difficult issues. The Town Board discussed bringing in an additional planning consultant to address parking ahead of the work to take place for the Comprehensive Plan. ADDED ITEM Draft Legislation – Restriction on Parking on a Section of Winthrop Avenue Supervisor Seligson stated that she has received a petition from residents of Winthrop Avenue who were not aware that this legislation was being considered. They think the law is unnecessary and will cause additional problems with already limited parking availability. She believes that these residents will be coming to this evening’s public hearing. The Town Board noted that the legislation was drafted based on recommendations from the Traffic Committee after hearing concerns from residents that cars were being 2 October 17, 2018 warehoused on Winthrop Avenue. The Town Board discussed better notification of upcoming Traffic Committee meetings and suggests that all residents of a particular area be notified of any items on the Traffic Committee agenda affecting their area. ADDED ITEM 2019 Budget Calendar and the November Town Board Meeting Date The Town Board discussed adding an additional Budget Meeting on November 12. The Town Board would st also like to move the November 21 Town Board Meeting to Monday, November 19, as the 21 is the evening before Thanksgiving. Mr. Altieri distributed the 2019 Tentative Town Budget. Mr. Altieri stated that overall the expenditures, at a 3.5 percent increase, are consistent with last year. One of the biggest challenges with the 2019 budget is the projected reduction in mortgage recording taxes. CALL TO ORDER - REGULAR MEETING The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Seligson at 8:00 PM, she then pointed out the location of the exits. 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 welcome to attend. SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT Town Administrator Steve Altieri will present the Tentative Budget to the Town Board this evening and will announce it at this meeting tonight. The budget meeting schedule is available on the Town’s website and of course all meetings are open to the public. You are welcome to attend. We know there has been a change in commuter parking patterns over the last several months with more commuters parking on residential streets. Although this is not a new phenomenon, it is getting worse and we have heard how upset residents are about it. The Town Board has been discussing it, we did tonight in work session, and we will continue to work on addressing it. The Town has completed interviewing consultants to help update the Comprehensive Plan. We expect to award a contract in November and begin the process. th The second annual Food Truck festival is this Saturday, October 20 from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. At Memorial Park on Myrtle Blvd. It was great fun and a great success last year. PRESENTATION – Westchester Power – Community Choice Aggregation Program Dan Welsh of Sustainable Westchester gave a presentation titled Westchester Power 2019. Mr. Welsh discussed Sustainable Westchester and their key initiatives and then gave specific updates on the renewal of the Community Choice Aggregation Program and distributed a handout for the public. PUBLIC HEARING – “Restriction on Parking on a Section of Winthrop Avenue” Law The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows: NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 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 September 26, 2018, a Public Hearing will be held on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 8:00 PM or as soon 3 October 17, 2018 thereafter as is possible at the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to consider: “Restriction on Parking on a Section of Winthrop Avenue” Law Purpose Persons who do not reside on Winthrop Avenue or Plymouth Road continue to park on Winthrop Avenue for prolonged periods of time. The problem is most severe in the winter when parked vehicles inhibit the Highway Department from removing accumulated snow. To relieve the intrusion upon the peace and tranquility of the residents and to facilitate snow removal, the Town Board has decided to prohibit parking on the east side of Winthrop Avenue for two hours per day on Mondays. The full text of this document can be viewed on the website or copies can be obtained at the Town Clerk's office during regular hours, Mon-Fri, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, In June, July and August until 4:00 PM at 740 W. Boston Post Road Mamaroneck, NY PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that at the Public Hearing all persons interested will be given an opportunity to be heard and that all persons are invited to submit written comments at or prior thereto. BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK Published: October 9, 2018 On motion of Councilwoman Fiddelman, seconded by Councilman King, the Public Hearing was unanimously opened. It was noted that the Town Clerk received a copy of the Petition signed by the residents of Winthrop Avenue and Plymouth Road. Supervisor Seligson asked if anyone wished to comment on the proposed Local Law. Nestor Kyritsis, of 26 Plymouth Road, addressed the Town Board. Mr. Kyritsis stated that he had distributed the petition. Mr. Kyritsis strongly objects to this legislation. Many homes have no driveways, and this law would limit parking in an area where it is already difficult to park. He asked that the Town consider a residential only parking legislation. Mr. Kyritsis said many residents were totally unaware of a local law being drafted. Councilwoman Katz informed Mr. Kyritsis that the Town will be amending its notification of the Traffic Committee agenda to residents in areas where items on the agenda affect them. Councilwoman Katz also stated that she does not want the residents to have false hope that residential parking could be enacted. It is a difficult legislation to pass at the State level, adding it is doubtful that the State would pass legislation for an issue involving residents parking on other residential streets. Monica, a resident of Winthrop Avenue, addressed the Town Board. Monica also stated that she never received any notification of this law. Monica stated that there has always been a feeling of comradery among the two streets. Monica is not in favor of legislation that negatively affects residents on Plymouth Road, adding that any overflow from Winthrop Avenue will move to Plymouth Road. Monica believes the problem is only with one car that is warehoused. Supervisor Seligson asked for a show of hands and counted eighteen against the law and no one in favor. No motion was made by the Town Board to pass the law, On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilman King, the Public Hearing was unanimously closed.

Jill Krizelman, of 72 North Chatsworth Avenue, addressed the Town Board. Ms. Krizelman noted that over the summer she had sent multiple letters of concern to the Board regarding commuter parking on North Chatsworth. Ms. Krizelman distributed photos of cars parked along North Chatsworth and photos of cars crossing the double yellow lines to maneuver around the parked cars. Ms. Krizelman is asking that the Town find an interim solution, as she and her neighbors are very concerned about what they feel is a dangerous situation. Judy Herbst, of 76 North Chatsworth Avenue, addressed the Town Board with very similar concerns as Ms. Krizelman. Ms. Herbst noted that in the 26 years she has lived here she has never witnessed commuter parking this far up North Chatsworth. Ms. Herbst stated that she has brought this issue, on two occasions, to the Traffic Committee. Ms. Herbst noted that there is a bus line that goes right down North Chatsworth Avenue, adding she too favors an interim solution. 7 October 17, 2018 Ms. Herbst distributed a list of concerned neighbors detailing their concerns. Bob Bowlin, of 66 North Chatsworth Avenue, addressed the Town Board. Mr. Bowlin read from his prepared statement which detailed his concerns. James Blanco, 68 North Chatsworth Avenue, addressed the Town Board. Mr. Blanco thinks this is an issue of fairness as he believes this is now an area of choice for residents of New Rochelle. Steve Anastos, representing the Larchmont Gardens Civic Association, addressed the Town Board. On behalf of the Association he thanked the Town for the great paving job on Myrtle Boulevard. He asked for a time-line to finish the walkway at the Duck Pond, as well as the protocol for repairing the deteriorating benches. He stated that the Lake water quality looks great. Mr. Anastos asked the Town to adjust the one aerator head. Mr. Anastos stated that the Association is again bringing the concept of a sidewalk along East Hickory Grove Drive to the Town Board’s attention and has circulated a petition. Mr. Anastos asked if there was any update on the arches, as he has himself witness pieces of the arches falling – he is eager to see something done about that. In closing Mr. Anastos invited everyone to the Halloween Parade on October 27 at 2:30pm. Mr. Altieri responded that there are funds in the Capital Project schedule for repairs to the arches. Supervisor Seligson readdressed the residents of North Chatsworth Avenue stating that the Town hears your immediate concerns and will consider hiring a consultant to look at the current situation.

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN 1. Submission – 2019 Tentative Budget Mr. Altieri presented the Tentative Budget and spoke from his Transmittal Letter as follows: October 17, 2018 Honorable Supervisor Nancy Seligson Honorable Members of the Town Board Honorable Christina Battalia – Town Clerk RE: SUBMISSION OF THE 2019 TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK We are pleased to submit for review by the Supervisor, Town Board and members of the community the 2019 Tentative Budget for the Town of Mamaroneck. This first version of the Town Budget is the financial plan prepared by the Budget Officer, Comptroller and executive staff. This budget is built on the assumption of continuing the all-inclusive menu of services provided by the Town government to the community. The services provided maintain the safety and enhance the quality of life in the Town. While our service audience is primarily the unincorporated Town, there are a number of services provided to residents of the Village of Larchmont and Village of Mamaroneck. At the outset of this presentation it is important to point out that the Town’s overall financial condition remains strong. Our excellent financial condition is evidenced by the Town’s continued Aaa bond rating from Moody’s Investor’s Service and the New York State Comptroller’s ranking of the Town with regard to fiscal stress. The State Comptroller has placed the Town in the category of “no designation” which means there are no factors in our financial operations or statements that would indicate the Town being in fiscal stress. What also plays into our strong position is our approach to budgeting and financial management. Our conservative approach for estimating revenues and expenses avoids large year to year fluctuations in our budgets and in the tax rates. In this budget we will point out examples of expense budgeting that consider not only impacts in 2019 but also in 2020. The result of our practices has been relatively stable year to year expense budgets. Our goal each year is to present a budget that finances municipal services at the greatest value possible to the community. Preparing the budget each year is not without its challenges. As you read on we will explain that the challenges for the 2019 budget include maintenance of our capital infrastructure and a changing economic environment that has limited our non-property tax revenues. The Property Tax Cap 9 October 17, 2018 Attachment #1 is the Town’s tax cap worksheet for 2019. In 2018 the allowable tax levy increase was $658,000 or a levy increase of 2.63%. For 2019 the State recommended tax cap that is significantly reduced to $549,542 or an increase of just 2.014%. The Tentative Budget for 2019 proposes a tax levy increase of $1.2million which exceeds the tax cap guideline. Targeting the tax cap is a worthwhile goal and we have been successful in five of the eight years the tax cap guideline has been in effect. However, we have stated in the past that from year to year the circumstances that impact the budget change. Part of the budget preparation process is to determine whether continuing our high service levels or meeting the tax cap requirements should be the goal of the Town government. Budget Overview The table below provides a comparative schedule of the 2018 Adopted Budget and 2019 Tentative Budget. 2018 Adopted 2019 Tentative Change % Change Budget Budget Appropriations $39,207,547 $40,576,639 $1,369,092 3.5% Non-Tax Revenue $12,103,783 $12,138,643 $34,860 < 1% Reserve Application $1,457,725 $1,552,500 $94,775 6.5% Property Tax Levy $25,646,039 $26,885,496 $1,239,457 4.8% The Town of Mamaroneck Budget is comprised of nine separate budget funds. Attachment #2 is the 2019 Tentative Budget Summary that details the expenses, revenues and tax levies for each of the budget funds. Property Tax Impact of 2019 Tentative Budget The real estate market over the past several years has been quite strong and in 2017 the Town’s taxable value rose to $9,771,592,337. Over the last year however the market has slowed down. The expected increase for the coming year is about $3million for the Townwide taxable value. Certainly individual residential assessments will differ between the Towns unincorporated area and the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck. The schedule below illustrates the property tax impact based upon the average assessment for the entire Town which is $1,253,000. Individual property tax impacts will of course differ depending upon whether a residential parcel’s assessment is above or below the average. The property tax rates are always expressed per one thousand dollars of assessment. Impact Upon Unincorporated Area Properties 2018 2019 Change % Change Tax Rate $5.41 $5.52 $.11 2% Property Tax $6,789 $6,916 $127.00 1.9% Impact Upon Properties in the Villages of Mamaroneck and Larchmont 2018 2019 Change % Change 1 Tax Rate $.47 $.55 $.08 17% Property Tax $590 $689 $99 17% It is important to remind both the Board and the community that the large difference in the amount of property taxes paid by an Unincorporated Area property owner versus a Village property owner is a function of the services delivered to the different sections of the community. Unincorporated area property owners receive all Town government services including sanitation, snow removal, Leaf collection, other Highway Department Services, Police and Fire Department services as well as services provided to the Villages. Residents of the Villages receive a select menu of services from the Town including Recreation Services, Ambulance Services, School and County Tax Collection, Property Assessment Services, Section 8 Housing Services and those services provided to our Senior Citizens. Revenue Discussion 1 Tax rate applied to the Villages of Mamaroneck and Larchmont is the sum of the Townwide and Ambulance District tax. 10 Other TaxesInter GovtInt. Fund TrSurplusProp.

Income6% October 17, 2018 Clearly one of the largest impacts upon the Town Budget for 2019 is the expected meager increase in non- property tax revenues. Non-property tax revenues are an important component of the Town Budget. The non-tax revenues serve to defray portions of our operating expenses and help in controlling the property tax levy. The source of these revenues are the various fees and charges levied by the Town for various services. Also included is State and Federal Aid received by the Town for certain services. For 2019 we are estimating total non-tax revenues of $12,138,643 which is an increase of just over $34,000, less than one percent. Last year non-property tax revenues were estimated to increase by $476,000 or 4.1%. However as 2019 as progressed we have seen that the performance of significant revenues will not continue into 2019. Each year we speak of the often unpredictable nature of non-property tax revenues. We have mentioned in the past that revenue streams for mortgage tax, sales tax and interest income can change dramatically from year to year with changes in the economy. Therefore we use past experience and leading indicators to guide us in our revenue recommendations. Although the property tax remains the Town’s primary funding source for the government we have developed a platform to use fees and charges to fund some municipal services. This is part of a growing trend to finance municipal services either in large part or entirely from user fees thus giving property owners control over their expenses. In the budget summary schedule, you will note that in the Sewer District Fund and Water District Fund there is no property tax levy. The expenses of the two districts are funded entirely from user fees. Sewer District fees were implemented three years ago while Water District fees have been in place for some time. The same model is applied to our Recreation Programs and our Ambulance Services. For 2019 Recreation Department programs and activity fees will finance 96% of the department’s operating expenses. In the Ambulance District, fees will subsidize about 57% of the expenses in the District. The pie chart below illustrates the various categories of revenues received by the Town and expresses them as a percentage of the total of all revenues. Not unexpectedly property taxes remain the largest source of revenue for the Town government. Revenue Type 2018 2019 Change Property Taxes $25,646,039 $26,885,496 $1,239,457 Surplus $1,457,725 $1,552,500 $94,775 Interfund Transfers $403,170 $299,475 ($103) Intergovt Revenues $218,000 $215,000 ($3,000) 11 October 17, 2018 2 Other Taxes $2,337,000 $2,311,300 ($25,700) 3 Department Income $2,047,483 $2,254,279 $206,796 Recreation Fees $2,654,000 $2,703,900 $49,900 Use of Money $306,100 $385,100 $79,100 Licenses & Permits $594,250 $688,300 $94,050 Fines $305,000 $305,000 -0- 4 State Aid $2,148,725 $2,034,225 ($114,500) 5 Federal Aid $667,740 $569,364 ($98,736) The table above lists the most significant sources of non-property tax revenue and provides a comparison between 2018 and 2019. As you can see, some of our most important revenues will decrease next year. For the revenues listed, the Town is expected to realize an overall decrease of $242,000. The following is a brief discussion on some of the more noteworthy changes both positive and negative.  Property Taxes: Under this budget the Town will look to raise $26.89million in taxes, an increase of $1.2million.  Application of Surplus: The Tentative Budget includes an application of $1.55 million of surplus funds to the budget. This is an increase of $94,000 over last year. Based upon our surplus policy the Town strives to maintain surplus levels of between 15% and 25% of budgeted appropriations. Surplus funds serve a variety of purposes including help with cash flow during tax collection periods and for unexpected events and expenditures. Surplus funds can also be a good source of funding for non-recurring projects without having to issue debt. For 2019 $625,500 or roughly 40% of the surplus application is proposed for a variety of smaller capital projects which will be detailed later as part of the expenditure discussion.  Other Taxes- Sales Tax: For 2019 we estimate that this category of revenues will decrease. Interestingly one of the largest decreases in this category is for penalties on the late payment of property taxes. With the completion of the in rem process and the online option for paying property taxes there has been a notable decrease in the number of late payments leading to a reduction in penalties. The other major component of this category is for sales tax. With the economy performing well and based upon our sales tax receipts to date, we do anticipate $1,800,000 in sales tax revenue which is an increase of about 4% over last year.  Recreation Fees: Fees for our recreation programs are expected to increase by $49,090 to $2,703,900 or just under 1.8%. While the overall increase in revenues is small, our summer camp programs, house hockey league, and swim club continue to be in high demand. Other major sources of revenues such as pool programs and pool charges are expected to remain essentially unchanged in 2019. Ice Rink general admissions and ice rink rentals will increase nominally in 2019. With that said however the Recreation Department revenues will support 96% of the department’s operating revenues. Debt expenses and employee benefits are not included.  Licenses and Permits: While the real estate market appears to have plateaued there are still a great many residents upgrading and making alterations to their homes. As a result we are seeing a sustained increase in construction related permit applications. For 2019 Building permit revenues are expected to increase by 12% to $480,000. Other construction related permit revenues will likely increase by 33% to $120,000.  State Aid-Mortgage Tax: The real estate market in Westchester County is beginning to wane. Low inventory and lower sales prices are the cause for the decline. Compared to prior years we anticipate that mortgage tax income will decrease in 2019. Therefore we have lowered our 2019 mortgage tax estimate to $1,350,000, a decrease of $150,000 from 2018.  Other State Aid: It appears that the State government has looked to focus its funding to local governments through categorical grants. The Town has been fortunate to be the recipient of some of those grants. However unlike school districts that have realized increased unrestricted funding for general expenses, local governments have not been so lucky. In 2018, the legislature did not provide for increases in Per Capita Aid to local governments. The Town’s Per Capita aid has remained at $140,000 for a number of years. We are also not anticipating additional funds 2 Other taxes includes: Late tax payment penalties, Gross Receipts tax, and Sales tax 3 Department income includes: Ambulance Charges, sewer rent, water revenue, planning fees, and other department fees, 4 State Aid includes: Mortgage tax, Per Capita State Aid, and other smaller aid programs for Town services 5 Federal Aid includes funding for the Section 8 Housing Program and programs for senior citizen services 12 TownwideSanitationAmb DistSt. LightingFire DistrictHighwayPart TownTownwide454,248, Water Dist.474,231, Sewer Dist.2,200,103, Amb.

In 2018 the administrative expense reimbursement was reduced from $86.00 to $77.00 per voucher. Although the reimbursement rate will remain unchanged we have decreased our projections for this source of Federal Aid from $600,000 to $500,000. The Town is continuing its efforts to increase the number of landlords participating in the program to enhance our affordable housing stock. Expenditure Discussion For 2019 the proposed budget calls for total expenditures of $40,576,639, an increase of $1.3million or 3.5%. The increase proposed is almost identical to the expense increase proposed in the 2018 budget. However the difference, as previously mentioned is the decrease in non-property tax revenues to help support the expenses. In preparing this budget, the decision was made to assume that the Town would continue all of the current services provided to the community. As we will explain two significant expenditures in this budget are the result of State mandates. Below, the pie chart illustrates the budget in the framework of each of the Town’s budget funds. The Townwide Budget and Ambulance District comprise approximately 35% of the total Town Budget and are levied upon the entire Town including the two villages. The remaining 65% of the budget is levied upon just the unincorporated area of the Town. The budget levied upon the unincorporated area includes all essential services including police and fire protection, public works services and sanitation services. Public services provided by local government continue to be labor intensive. So it is not surprising that personnel and benefit costs make up the largest portion of the budget. For the most part these costs are based upon contractual obligations between the Town and its employee bargaining units. Other expenditure obligations include the day to day expenditures for goods and services known as contractual expenses and then there are debt obligations for major capital expenditures. However not all capital projects are financed with debt. Smaller capital projects are appropriated in the budget to reduce overall debt obligations. Below is a schedule of the major categories of expense and a comparison of the changes between 2018 and estimates for 2019. This schedule is based upon the entire Town Budget. Expense Type 2018 2019 Change % change Salaries $14,963,393 $15,225,182 $261,789 1.75% Employee Benefits $9,867,920 $10,242,160 $374,240 3.8% Equipment $245,650 $268,800 $23,150 9.4% Contractual $10,208,082 $10,810,082 $602,000 5.9% Expenses Debt Service $3,191,402 $3,354,915 $163,513 5.1% Inter-fund Transfers $731,100 $625,500 ($105,600) (14.4%) 13 October 17, 2018 Personnel/Staffing Overall salaries for full and part time staff will increase by $261,789 or 1.75% in 2019. In terms of staffing the 2019 Budget provides for 131 full time staff. This budget does propose the addition of two full time positions; at the Hommocks Ice Rink and Senior Center. At the Hommocks Ice Rink, we are proposing the addition of one senior recreation leader position. The position would serve as an office manager to improve our marketing, program development and general oversight of the administration of the rink. By adding this position the Rink Manager can focus more time on the management of the infrastructure of the rink. The estimated salary for this position is $55,000. To defray a portion of the salary expense, we have reduced salaries for part time positions by $26,000. At the Town Senior Center we are proposing to hire a Recreation Leader at a salary of approximately $52,000. The position is proposed to begin the process of planning for future changes at the center. With over 300 registered seniors in the program we are seeing that the focus and demands of the center are shifting. The congregate meal program, while still popular, is not as robust as in previous years. There appears to be a greater demand for activities and programs for our seniors. With this position we can begin the transition of the program. To defray a portion of the cost we have eliminated two part time positions totaling $22,500 in salary. For 2019 the Town has in place collective bargaining agreements with the career firefighters and the CSEA representing our Office and Highway Department employees. The collective bargaining agreement with the Town Police will expire at the end of 2018. We have begun discussions with the union regarding a renewal contract. The Town has been fortunate in that the bargaining units have been sensitive to our budget issues and the contracts reflect their desire to work with the Town. With regard to the Police Department we have seen a wave of retirements reflective of the longevity of some of our police officers. When completed, eight new police officers will be hired this year. Obviously the advantages of this is the reduction in salary and select benefit costs. As a result of the salary scale for new officers, the actual reduction in police salaries for 2019 is $228,500. In planning for 2020 however we are proposing in this budget that the salary line be reduced by $136,000 or 60% of the total potential reduction. Our thinking on this is based upon the requirements of the union contract. The new officers will likely receive some form of annual salary adjustment in 2020. They will also be entitled to a salary scale increment to bring their salaries in line over the next four years with that of a first grade police officer. By budgeting a portion of the salary reduction in 2019, we can lessen the impact on the 2020 budget. Employee Benefits In 2019 the Town estimates that employee benefit costs will increase by $374,240 or 3.8 percent. This is slightly lower than the increase in expenses between 2017 and 2018. The change in benefit expenses is a mixed bag of adjustments for 2019. Medical insurance expenses are increasing the most with an expected increase of $344,545 or 7.4%. The good news is that for 2019 we appear to have turned the corner on our worker’s compensation costs. After several years of increases we expect the premium for worker’s compensation insurance for non-police employees to decrease by $230,000. Worker’s compensation costs for police employees will increase by an estimated $96,000 in 2019. Pension costs for the Town will increase by approximately $60,000 or2.6% in 2019. This brings our total pension expense to $2.4million. Other benefit costs for dental, optical and life insurance essentially remain unchanged for next year. Equipment This category of expense includes the purchase of small equipment, uniforms and accessories needed for the operational departments. In 2018 we propose an increase of over $23,000 in this category with total expenditures of $268,800. Contractual Expenses Contractual expenses comprise over 2,400 different categories of goods and services needed for the day to day operation of the Town. In 2019 we estimate those expenses will increase by $602,000 to $10.2million. Examples of contractual expenses include:  All energy and utility costs including vehicle fuels  All expenses associated with repairs to our vehicle fleet  All service contracts for maintenance of Town equipment, two way radios and other operating equipment  Consultant services provided for IT services, and consultants for Planning and Zoning Board and general consulting to the Town on special projects. 14 October 17, 2018  All expenses for legal fees and legal retainer agreements.  All building repair and maintenance expenses  Funds estimated for judgements and claims against the Town not covered by insurance. Certiorari claims are paid from this category.  The Town’s share of the costs for the Larchmont Library and Larchmont Mamaroneck Joint Garbage disposal Commission.  General & Auto Liability Insurance During our work sessions with individual departments we will discuss these expenses in more detail. There are some expense changes worth noting in the category of contractual expenses: Judgements and Claims/Refund of Taxes: There has been an uptick in this expense as a result of property tax appeal settlements during the past year. Based upon pending appeals, we expect that this expense will increase in 2019. Our estimates for next year are $240,000, an increase of $52,000. Consultant Services/IT Support: It is now safe to say that all of our operations now include some form of computer technology to better service the community. For tracking and management purposes, we have moved all expenses for computer software and support into one line item in the Information Technology budget. In 2019 the Town will spend an estimated $331,000 on this expense. The system includes over 200 users, and 25 physical and virtual servers along with innumerable other technology components. Over the last year, we focused largely on the security of the system which improves its reliability for conducting various transactions. The operation and maintenance of the website is also included in this expense. We will, in 2019, continue to move aggressively to computerize our records management system to provide faster access to Town data. These and many other technology advances however require software and server maintenance. Liability Insurance: Over the last several years the Town has experienced a very low loss ratio which has been reflected in favorable premiums. However, in 2018, the Town experienced several major losses under our automobile liability policy. All of the losses involved large pieces of equipment that required replacement. None of the losses involved any personal injury. As a result our insurance premiums for 2019 are expected to increase to $448,000, an increase of $54,000 over 2018. Although the increase is greater than in previous years, the premium is still favorable when you consider the Town’s total expenditures, facilities and other assets. Retiree Reimbursement: One of the New York State mandates which the Town must comply with is for disability retirement payments to career firefighters. Under the law, if the New York State Retirement System grants a career firefighter a certain form of disability retirement, the local government must pay a share of the monthly retirement costs. The Town currently expends $113,300 for this expense. The State Retirement System has granted yet another disability retirement to a retired Town firefighter that will increase our expenses for 2019 to $236,502. Debt Service As of January 1, 2019 the Town will have an estimated $41.4 million in outstanding debt. The number is estimated at this time because we are preparing for a late 2018 bond issue for both the Town and the Fire District. The Town’s annual debt service expense for 2019 will increase by $163,513 to $3.3 million. The overall increase was reduced by a $200,000 decrease in debt in the Highway Fund. In the Sanitary Sewer Fund however the debt increase is $182,000. The significant increase is the result of $2.7million in debt issued this year for sanitary sewer repairs mandated by the County of Westchester and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. There was also a large debt expense increase in the Town Fire District for funding of a new ladder truck and for needed repairs to the apparatus floor at Fire Headquarters. In 2019 there will be additional borrowing required for capital projects however the impact of that debt will not occur until 2020. Capital Projects Under separate cover the Town Board will receive a report exclusively on the proposed Capital Improvement Plan for 2019. The 2019 Tentative Budget however does include $625,500 in appropriations for capital projects. This is a reduction of $55,000 from last year’s capital project appropriation. The capital projects included in the budget are as follows: Technology Replacements and Upgrades $385,850 Town Center Drain Repair 8,000 Air Conditioning Replacement- Police Dept. 14,000 Replacement of Two Police Vehicles 76,000 15 October 17, 2018 6 Portion of 2019 Road Resurfacing Budget 85,000 Replacement of Furniture- MEMS Building 5,000 Replacement of Pagers Fire/EMS 43,500 Larchmont VAC Building Repairs 8,150 $625.500 Conclusion The Town’s mission is to provide those services that the community has come to expect for their safety and quality of life. The 2019 Tentative Budget as proposed fulfills that mission. But this budget provides a look beyond 2019 as we anticipate the changes and progress that will occur in some of our programs. This budget is a conservative financial plan that maintains the Town’s financial strength and provides for the unexpected. The budget is responsive to mandates placed upon it by other levels of government. These and other expenses come at an inopportune time though when we expect poor growth in our non- property tax revenues. With the submission of the budget, a comprehensive review process begins with the Town Departments and Town Board. As always the staff looks forward to working with the Board on the 2019 Tentative Budget. We want to close by thanking the Town Department Heads and staff that were involved in preparing this budget. The Town is fortunate to have on staff, professionals that have great expertise in their fields. Their expertise is critical not only during the budget process but throughout the year. 6 $85,000 in New York State Funding is annually transferred into the Capital Paving Project to defray the total cost of the annual paving project 16 October 17, 2018 2.
