On motion of Councilman King, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman, the Board unanimously agreed to
resume the Regular Meeting.
Town Rights-of-Way Obstructions
The Town Board reviewed a memo from Mr. Altieri, dated November 30, 2018. Supervisor Seligson
reminded the Town Board that Mr. Polembo came before them at a previous worksession to ask the Town
to allow him to keep the basketball hoop he has installed in the Town’s Right-of-Way. The Town Board
discussed the hazard and liability that this creates. Mr. Altieri stated that the Mamaroneck Post Office will
not deliver mail to a front door, and so in certain instances where Town residents have a 10543 zip code,
mailboxes are required to be at curbside. Mr. Altieri stated that due to their height and location they create
little hazard. After discussion the Town Board maintains that, due to potential hazard and liability,
permanent structures may not be installed in the Town-Right-of-Way.
Mr. Altieri also brought to the Board’s attention a request by a homeowner on Mohegan Road who would
like to re-install a preexisting fence which is in the Town Right-of-Way. More information is needed and Mr.
Altieri will report back to the Town Board once he receives that.
Operational Analysis – Larchmont Mamaroneck Joint Garbage Disposal Commission
At the previous Town Board worksession the Town Board reviewed the Commission’s 2019 Budget. At that
time the Town Board discussed meeting with the Village of Larchmont to discuss alternatives to collection.
1
December 5, 2018
The Town Board would like to review with the Village of Larchmont possible changes with respect to 1)
backdoor pick up 2) two day to one day pick up 3) adding food waste pick up. A meeting with the Village of
Larchmont will be scheduled for this coming January.
ADDED ITEMS
Supervisor Seligson reported that the Westchester Joint Water Works received a grant in the amount of 1.9
million dollars from the NYS Environmental Facilities Corp. for a project that no longer is a priority. This is
unfortunately a difficult and awkward situation since winning such a sizable grant is usually very welcome.
WJWW will work with EFC to prioritize another application.
Supervisor Seligson reported that Joe Liberti, the Mamaroneck High School history teacher, has begun a
three year civics program. Mr. Liberti updated Supervisor Seligson on some of the work the students are
doing, one of which is a Town survey. Supervisor Seligson stated that the Town should tap in to the
information the students are generating.
Supervisor Seligson stated that after the recent Town presentation on coyotes, she was contacted by a
resident requesting the Town amend the laws to allow for higher fencing. The Town Board is not inclined to
make such a change.
Councilwoman Elkind Eney reported on the recent Fire Council Meeting. The new apparatus from KMS
continues to have deficiencies, and continues to have servicing issues. The Thruway Authority will not be
moving southward, the access point for emergency vehicles to enter the northbound lanes of I-95, but they
have agreed to extend the length of the acceleration lane for emergency vehicles entering the thruway.
That will be helpful for the apparatus accessing I95, even if not completely what the Department had
hoped for. It was reported that the Fire House floor replacement project is moving along.
Councilwoman Fiddelman reported on the recent Housing Authority Meeting. Councilwoman Fiddelman
recapped the recent presentation to the Town Board by the Authority and their Ad hoc Committee. The
presentation was to build affordable housing with an emphasis on senior housing around the area of Lot1.
The Housing Authority would like to hire a consultant to further analyze the sale of the Hommocks
Apartments. The Town will conduct a title search of the strip of land along Vine Place. In discussing the
proposal the Town Board thinks this should be addressed within the Comprehensive Plan, adding that this
needs a more systematic approach for review. Additionally, a financial consultant should be utilized to help
the Town Board assess the proposal to refinance the Hommocks Park Apartments. In general the Town
Board would like to review the proposal in more depth and discuss possible other areas for affordable
housing. In general, they believe it is too early in their review process to move quickly. The Housing
th
Authority will meet again on December 20, and it is anticipated that the Town Board will be asked some
specific requests from that meeting. Mr. Siligato on review of the Housing Authority bonding, questioned
whether it is allowable to sell bonds before 2023. Mr. Altieri and Siligato will review this with bond council.
The Housing Authority again discussed increasing the number of members from 5 members to 7.This was
discussed some time ago with no action from the Town Board. The Town Board noted the difficulty in
finding appointees, and for this reason recently reduced the number of Planning Board Members. The
Town Board asked Councilwoman Fiddelman to convey to the Housing Authority that the Town Board is
not inclined to increase the number of members.
On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilman King, the Board unanimously agreed to
enter into an Executive Session to discuss the purchase of land and appointments to Boards and
Commissions.

December 5, 2018
Councilwoman Katz reported on the recent meeting of the LMCTV Board of Control. At that meeting the
Advisory Board approved the 2019 Budget with a 2.3% increase. It also included a reduction in the
distribution of franchise fees to the municipalities from $350 000 to $300,000. Councilwoman Katz stated
that she had reiterated to the Advisory Board that franchise fees cannot be counted on in the future, and a
budget that does not include them should be analyzed.
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.

To be published: November 30, 2018
On motion of Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman, the Public Hearing was
unanimously opened.
Supervisor Seligson announced that Mr. Altieri will be presenting a visual presentation of the 2019
Preliminary Budget.
Mr. Altieri proceeded.
The following Transmittal Letter which accompanies the 2019 Preliminary Budget is entered into the
record as follows:
December 1, 2018
Honorable Supervisor Nancy Seligson
Honorable Members of the Town Board
Re: Presentation of the 2019 Preliminary Town of Mamaroneck Budget
We present to the Supervisor and Town Board, the 2019 Preliminary Town Budget for the fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2019. The budget is presented on behalf of a professional executive staff that in June of this year
5
December 5, 2018
began the process of preparing the 2019 Budget. Since mid-October when the Tentative Budget was submitted to
the Board, there have been a series of public work sessions to discuss individual departmental budgets along
with review of non-tax revenues and capital projects proposed for the coming year. The 2019 Preliminary Budget
will be the subject of a public hearing on Wednesday, December 5, 2018 at which time the public is welcome to
learn about the budget and comment on its content. The Supervisor and Town Board are required to adopt a
budget for the following year no later than December 20.
The framework upon which the Town Budget is prepared each year is rather straight forward:
Maintaining the Town’s financial stability through fiscal responsibility and conservative budgeting
Ensuring the safety of the residents of the community and to improve the quality of life
Improving, maintaining and enhancing Town facilities and infrastructure
Increase conservation and sustainability where it is most effective
Lastly to actively engage the community in the Town’s governance and community activities to remind
the citizens of the importance of local government in everyday life
Insuring that the Town Budget is not only a document for the next year but considers future years as well
It is this framework that makes the Town Budget so relevant to the citizens of the community. Without question,
the Town budget is the most important document considered by the Town Board. Important because the budget
provides the means by which we fund our municipal services, buildings, recreation facilities, utility infrastructure,
roads, sidewalks and capital equipment. All of these components are critical to the delivery of services to the
community. Funding in the budget also insures that the Town’s employees have the right training and tools to do
their jobs each day in way that is of benefit to the community. The 2019 Preliminary Town Budget continues our
emphasis on ensuring the Town’s efficient and effective operations
The Town Budget presented here was developed in a continued setting of financial strength. Our reliance on
conservative financial projections for both expenditures and revenues avoids large fluctuations in Town budgets
and ultimately the property taxes levied in the community. Our surplus management policy protects reserve
balances and avoids misapplication of reserve funds that can be problematic for future budgets.. Town budgets
reflect a thoughtful balance of reserve applications and tax levies to accomplish the missions of the Town
government. Strong reserve positions allow us to have funds available for unexpected events and projects while
providing a means of avoiding large year to year fluctuations in our annual budgets.
With each budget year comes another challenge to be overcome and incorporated into the process of developing
the Town Budget. The recently amended Federal Income Tax bill severely reduced the tax deduction for state and
local taxes. We will see in 2019 just how serious this change will be for our residents as they prepare their 2018
Income tax returns. Should there be a significant impact, it could mark a tipping point as local governments will
need to re-evaluate services and how those services will be financed. This will require engaging the community in
this discussion.
Another challenge that we will discuss in greater detail is the continued fluctuation in non-property tax revenues.
This is a challenge we have faced before as changes in the economy impact a number of those revenues that are
impacted by the local and national economy.
The Property Tax Cap
Each year local governments in New York State must consider whether or not to adopt budgets that comply with
the Property Tax Cap Legislation imposed by the Governor and New York State Legislature in 2011. Most local
officials agree that the tax cap legislation does not reflect the realities of delivering municipal services and does
not take into account long term capital infrastructure needs. Compliance with the tax cap is particularly difficult
for local governments since the State government has failed to increase aid to local governments as it has to
school districts in New York. Unlike higher levels of government, the Town can only depend upon a limited
number of sources of non-property tax revenues to fund the Town Budget and offset property taxes. To maintain
stability in year to year changes in property taxes and tax levies, the Town has initiated the use of fees as an
alternative to property taxes. Where fees are applied, the cost of services is borne either in part or in total by
those using the service. The idea being that the property owner pays only for what they use. The Town has used
this alternative successfully for Recreation Services, Ambulance Services, and Water and Sewer Services.
However the use of fees is not a universal remedy since many other municipal services do not lend themselves to
a fee based system.
Since 2011 when the tax cap legislation was enacted the Town has complied with the tax cap guideline in four of
the last eight budgets. The Town Budget proposed for 2019 however does exceed the State tax cap guideline.
Based upon the mandated formula, the 2019 Town tax cap limit was 2.14%; meaning a maximum increase in the
2018 tax levy of $549,542. For 2019, the proposed tax levy is $26,554,240, an increase of $908,201, an increase of
3.5%. The tax levy proposed is 1.4% higher than the State cap guideline.

December 5, 2018
2019 Preliminary Budget Summary
The 2019 Preliminary Budget is a fully balanced budget without any form of deficit: For 2019, the Town Budget
proposes the following:
2018 2019 Change % Change
Adopted Budget Preliminary Budget
Expenditures $39,207,547 $40,261,743 $1,054,196 2.7%
Non-Property Tax $12,103,783 $12,155,003 $51,220 .4%
Revenue
Applied Surplus $1,457,725 $1,552,500 $94,775 6.5%
Tax Levy $25,646,039 $26,545,240 $908,201 3.5%
The budget as presented will continue all current Town services and programs. We will in the following pages
provide further detail on the revenues and expenditures listed above.
2019 Property Tax Implications
How will the proposed 2019 budget impact property owners in the Town. The apportionment of the tax levy is a
function of total property assessments for each of the Town’s nine budget funds. The 2019 property taxes are
based upon property assessments that were finalized in September of 2018 by the Town Assessor. Total
assessments applying to the Townwide fund increased by about $3.0million. Assessment increases for other
budget funds ranged from $3.0 to $34 million. Each budget fund by law must have its own property assessments
and tax rates. The exception to that guideline is for those funds that are financed totally through fees and charges.
Over the last six months we have seen property values stabilize and will not realize the increases as in previous
years. Although the Town of Mamaroneck and the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck continue to be
desirable communities in which to live there was a small decrease in the average residential assessed valuation.
An average single family home is assessed at $1.23million as opposed to $1.25million last year.
Understanding the Town of Mamaroneck Budget is not always easy because of the different budget funds. Also,
many do not realize that the Town provides services to the unincorporated Town and the Villages of Larchmont
and Mamaroneck. For property owners in the unincorporated area, the Town provides a full menu of services
including Police, Fire, Sanitation Collection and Road Maintenance among others. For property owners with an
average assessment of $1.253million the Town Property tax will be $6,828 for all services. This is an increase of
$39.00 over 2018. This represents an increase of .6%. For property owners in the Villages with an average
assessment of $1.253 million their 2019 property tax to the Town will be $677, an increase of $87.00 or about 15%.
Individual property tax bills will vary depending upon the assessment when compared with the average.
Previously, we spoke of the Town’s approach of conservative budgeting of expenses and revenues. Also, our
balanced approach to the application of surplus funds to the budget. On the next page is a chart that presents the
level of property taxes for unincorporated area residents from 2015 and the property taxes proposed for 2019. By
and large you will see that tax adjustments from year to year are very stable and generally this is a preferable
approach to financing government services.
Revenues- Where the Money Comes From
The Town depends upon a variety of revenue sources in order to finance governments operations. Not
unexpectedly, the property tax remains the largest source of revenue to the Town. In 2019 the estimated
tax levy will be $26,554,240, an increase of 3.5% or $908,201over 2019. When the tax levy rises, the
origins of the increase include not only increases in expenses but also the performance of revenues
other than property taxes. For 2019 we anticipate a decline in the performance of non-property tax
revenues. We estimate revenues conservatively and that is because we have seen the fallout from other
governments that overstate revenues to decrease tax levies. Eventually this strategy backfires and these

December 5, 2018
governments generally incur operating deficits. In addition we avoid using one shot infusions into the
budget to reduce tax levies.
How poorly do we anticipate 2019 non-property tax revenues to be? When preparing the 2018 budget
non-property tax revenues were anticipated to increase by over $500,000. However for 2019, we
anticipate that overall, non-property tax revenues will increase by only $51,220 or .4%. That swing of
close to $450,000 is substantial and a driving factor in our decision to exceed the New York State tax cap
guideline in order to maintain Town services.
On the next page is a chart that illustrates all of the different revenues utilized by the Town. The chart
expresses the revenues as a percentage of the total revenue of the Town including the property tax.
As mentioned earlier the Town, endeavors to stabilize property taxes, by applying fees for services as an
alternative to the ad valorem tax. Fees for services is a responsible way to permit residents to control their
expenses for certain municipal services by paying only for what they use.
In the Town we have applied this philosophy to several different services:
Recreation: In 2019 Recreation Department revenues will top $2.7million and fund roughly 96% of the
department’s operating budget. Residents will pay for the programs and services they use most.
Recreation revenues do not cover expenses for debt and some employee benefits.
Water Service: The Town is a member community in the Westchester Joint Water Works (WJWW).
Residents pay directly to the WJWW for water service. The Town does incur water related expenses for
capital projects and maintaining the fire protection system. Those expenses are also funded through the
water fees paid to the WJWW. So 100% of water related expenses are funded by water use fees.
Sewer Service: In 2014 the Town initiated a sewer rent to pay for the cost of operating and maintaining
the sanitary sewer system. Like water service sewer rent fees subsidize 100% of the cost of sewer
service. We have discovered that for most every property owner the sewer rent charge paid on their
water bill has turned out to be less than if the cost of sewer service was built into the property tax bill.
Ambulance Service: Emergency medical care is a necessary service to provide residents the security in
knowing that this care is available in an emergency. Using available sources of revenues such as
Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance plans, the Town is able to cover roughly 57% of the
cost of maintaining this service.
Other revenues worth noting here include:
New York State Aid: $2,034,225 – Decreases by $114,500 in large part due to the expected decrease in
mortgage tax revenue which alone decreases by $150,000. The large decrease in mortgage tax is offset
in part by an increase in aid to the Community Counseling center. State per capita aid and funding for
roads will remain unchanged at $142,000 and $85,000 respecively. As noted earlier the State of New
York has failed to adjust this aid to communities for a number of years. .

December 5, 2018
Federal Aid: $569,364 – Decreases by $98,376 on top of last year’s decrease of $70,000- for a second
year in a row the Town has been advised by the Federal Government to expect a decrease in the
administrative fees paid for the Section 8 Housing Voucher Program. Federal Aid for our senior nutrition
programs will remain unchanged next year.
Sales Tax: $1,800,000 – Increases by $70,000 –Sales tax revenue from the sale of goods and services
particularly gasoline and fuel products appears to be following the strong economy.
Licenses and Permits: $688,300 – Increases by $94,050 – Activity in the Town Building Department has
increased significantly as property owners conduct improvements to their homes. Also we have seen an
increase in the number of homes being reconstructed in the community.
Use of Money and Property- $385,150 – Increases by $79,050– Included in this category of revenue is
interest/investment income and rent income. Investment rates that apply to local government are
beginning to move up, and as a result we expect that our interest income, although low when compared
to revenue earned in the late 1990’s will increase by roughly $50,000 in 2019. Total interest revenue is
expected to reach $75,150. The Town will however realize an estimated $30,000 increase in rental
income in 2019 as a result of the second year of the lease with LMCTV on the third floor of the Town
Center
The last form of revenue applied to the Town Budget are surplus funds maintained in the Town’s various budget
funds. The 2019 Preliminary Budget includes an application of $1,552,500 of surplus funds. Over the last four
years the Town has successfully maintained a surplus management program targeting surplus levels at 15-25% of
appropriations in most of our budget funds. With nine budget funds, a surplus is maintained for each fund. That
is important to note since pursuant to New York State Finance Law, funds cannot be moved from one fund to the
other.
Our maintaining a healthy surplus is critical to the overall financial strength of the Town government. A strong
surplus position is looked upon in a positive way by the bond rating agencies. A strong surplus means that funds
are available for unexpected expenses and that the Town does not necessarily need to borrow funds for the
unexpected. With the Town as the guarantor of both the School District tax levy and the Town’s portion of the
Westchester County tax levy, surplus becomes a cash flow tool to insure our ability to remit the those tax levies
Expenditures- Where the Money Goes
In 2019 the Town of Mamaroneck estimates that expenditures will total $40,261,743 to provide services to
the residents of the Town. The expenditure proposal for 2019 represents an increase of $1,054,196 or
2.7% over last year. The increase in expenditures for 2019 is roughly $367,000 less than last year’s
adjustment in expenses. As proposed the Town budget continues to provide all of the services currently
provided to property owners in the Town. To try to simplify the understanding of our budget
expenditures the illustration on the following page presents the major functions of the government as a
percentage of the whole.
9
December 5, 2018
Expense Drivers
On-going and future costs for personnel and employee benefits
Technology Improvements to enhance the delivery of services
Economic conditions in the nation and in the region that effect pricing of goods and services
Aging infrastructure that must be replaced and maintained
Maintaining fiscal stability with adequate reserves in place
The above list of expense drivers tells just a portion of the evaluation process that the Town must go through
when estimating expenses. Consider that the Town’s public safety departments: Police, Fire and Ambulance
Service are on 24 hour call throughout the year. Consider that when the snow falls and the Highway Department
begins its response to the storm, they must stay on task until that time when the snow is completely removed
from streets and sidewalks. The Highway Department must also plan for those other storms and emergencies that
cannot wait until the next regular work day to be resolved. The Town does not pick up a limited amount of
garbage each day. Rather it must collect all of the garbage that has been set out by the residential and
commercial property owners in the Town. The bottom line is that many of the Town’s services are provided on
virtually an unlimited basis which is also a challenge during budget preparation.
Personnel and Benefit Costs
Municipal services remain very labor intensive requiring the work of dedicated municipal employees. The 2019
Town Budget includes 130 full time positions which is an increase of two positions over last year. The new
positions will be in the Department Community Services, specifically the Senior Citizens Program and in the
Recreation Department, specifically the Hommocks Ice Rink. However as a means of deferring a portion of the
costs for these positions they will not be filled until the last quarter of 2019. In both cases we have identified a
need for more support to two very successful programs in the community. Even with the new positions proposed
the Town’s total salary expense will increase by only 1.27 percent to $15.1million.
It appears there is good news on the employee benefit front. For 2019 employee benefit costs will increase by
1.3% one of the lowest increases in the last five years. The Town’s Worker’s Compensation costs will result in a
net decrease of about 12% and medical insurance is currently expected to increase by about 3-4%. Employee
benefit costs overall will increase by 1.3 percent to just under $10million.
Contractual Expenditures
For 2019 this class of expenses are anticipated to increase to $10.8million. Contractual expenses cover a vast
number of categories of goods and services utilized by the Town for its day to day operation.
One of the more significant components of the contractual expense category is our commitment to information
technology to improve municipal service delivery. For 2019 some of the new technology improvements will be
include:
Recreation Software Upgrades for better program registration
Management of Parking Permits and Integration with the Court’s Management of Violations
Installation of a new public portal to provide residents more access to Town Records and
Information
Upgrading our computer workstations to Windows 10 Professional Workstation
Various server upgrades
The other major component of our technology function is to provide for greater security of the systems and
networks by monitoring our systems closely and utilizing advanced software designed to secure our systems.
Aging Infrastructure/Capital Projects
We stated last year that the challenge of maintaining our infrastructure will be a continuous effort by the Town.
Investments in capital infrastructure are critical if we are to continue to provide municipal services to the
community to insure clean water, safe roads and a healthy environment. Sometimes it is easy to forget the
underground utility systems that provide clean water each day and carry away sanitary sewage from our kitchens
and bathrooms. Each year as our infrastructure gets older the need for maintenance and replacement grows. The
Town has come to realize that deferring capital infrastructure improvements only leads to far greater expense in
the future. For that reason we have endeavored to maintain a robust program of capital improvements. For 2019
the Town is proposing a $10.8 million dollar capital improvement program designed to keep up with our
infrastructure and other capital needs: The details of the program include:
Vehicles and Equipment- $ 546,000 Road Resurfacing $ 552,000
Computer Software $ 223,000 Waverly Avenue Bridge $1,995,000
Computer Hardware $ 276,810 Hillside Avenue Bridge $ 200,000
Comprehensive Plan-Town/Sr. Programs $ 240,000 Sidewalk Extension Hickory Grove Dr. $ 120,000
Sheldrake Environmental Center Imp. $ Water System Improvements $2,559,000

Madison Ave/New Jefferson Traffic Imp. Total 2019 Capital Projects $10,877,810

The financing of the 2019 Capital Improvement plan will be a combination of the following sources:
Serial Bonds $7,574,264
Grants/Local Sources $2,325,818
Transfers & Appropriations $ 977,728
Before concluding our presentation of the 2019 Town Budget, we would like to present one last table that looks to
reduce to more understandable terms the breakdown of an average tax bill and the value of each of the services
received by a resident of the unincorporated area. While the payment for most services to the Town are levied as
a tax, the services listed below are quality of life and maintenance services provided to property owners in much
the same way that owners in condominiums and coops pay a monthly maintenance fee. You will note on the chart
that some of the services have asterisks next to them. These are services that are entirely or highly subsidized
with user fees thus reducing the need for including more of the service subsidy in the tax bill. Essentially for
these services residents pay for what they use. The tax component of these services are for expenditures that
cannot be reasonably captured solely with a separate fee.

Conclusion
We feel strongly that the 2019 Preliminary Budget is a responsible budget that is responsive to the needs of the
community. The application of resources in this budget continues to provide a good value for the many services
offered to the residents. Of equal if not greater importance is that this budget provides the means for the Town to
plan and protect our community in the future. With this budget, the Town will for the first time in a number of
years update its Comprehensive Plan. This plan will develop policies that can be used now and in the future for
Housing, Transportation, Leisure and Recreation, Land Use and many other elements that will frame the culture
and character of the Town for many years to come. Ours is an older community and with that comes the task and
the challenge of maintaining our older infrastructure to continue municipal services now and in the future. Most
of the 2019 Capital Improvement Program is dedicated to the upkeep of our facilities and infrastructure.
Our continued application of technology to our day to day operations is another example of our looking to the
future. Technology is a way of life for the residents. In this budget we continue to apply technology to how
government conducts its day to day business and provide greater convenience to the community to access
information and services.
We would like to thank the Supervisor and Town Board for its guidance and direction in preparing the Town
Budget for 2019. Your leadership and direction is extremely helpful to the staff during budget preparation. Lastly,
we want to recognize the staff for its work on the Town Budget. We are fortunate to have a professional team of
department heads and staff that each exhibit their expertise in meeting the challenges of not only preparing the
budget but in planning for the delivery of services.

PUBLIC HEARING - 2019 Sewer Rent Rate
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 November 7, 2018
a Public Hearing will be held on Wednesday, December 5, 2018 at 8:00 PM or as soon thereafter as
is possible at the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to consider the
2019 Sewer Rent Rate.
Section 1 – Purpose.
Article 14-F of the General Municipal Law authorizes the imposition of sewer rents as a means of
raising funds (a) to operate, maintain and repair a municipal sanitary sewer system, and (b) where
not prohibited by General Municipal Law § 453 (3), to expand such system. The rents will be used
to operate, maintain and repair that sewer system and if deemed appropriate by the Town Board
and not prohibited by General Municipal Law § 453 (3), to expand such system. The Town Board
finds that a sewer rent more equitably distributes the cost of the sanitary sewer system because it
is a function of usage computed based upon water consumption and is charged to all the users of
that system, including tax exempt properties.
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.

PUBLIC HEARING – Exemption from the Sewer Rent for Separately Metered Water that is not Discharged
into the Sanitary Sewer System” Law.
LEGAL NOTICE
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 November 19, 2018
a Public Hearing will be held on Wednesday, December 5, 2018 at 8:00 PM or as soon thereafter as
is possible at the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to consider:
“Exemption from the Sewer Rent for Separately Metered Water that is not Discharged into the
Sanitary Sewer System” Law.
Purpose
The sewer rent law is intended to levy charges for sanitary sewer service based upon a property’s
discharge of sewage into the sanitary sewer system. The sewer rent law calls owners of real property
that discharge sewage into the sanitary sewer system “System Users”. The owners of real property
whose sewage is not discharged into the sanitary sewer system (e.g. properties served by septic
system) are not “System Users” since the discharge therefrom does not enter the sanitary sewer
system. Hence these owners are not subject to a sewer rent.
There are properties that do both. Certain consumers of water, such as golf courses, have facilities,
such as clubhouses and locker rooms that discharge sewage into the sanitary sewer system but also
consume water that is not returned as sewage to the sanitary sewer system, such as water used to
irrigate fairways or fill water hazards. This local law takes that distinction into consideration by
establishing a dichotomy between facilities that do discharge sewage into the sanitary system and
facilities that do not by imposing sewer rent upon the former and exempting the latter from sewer
rent.

Clerk's office during regular hours, Mon-Fri, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, In June, July and August until 4:00

This local law shall be known as the “Exemption from the Sewer Rent for Separately Metered
Water that is not Discharged into the Sanitary Sewer System” Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck

The sewer rent law is intended to levy charges for sanitary sewer service based upon a property’s

consideration by establishing a dichotomy between facilities that do discharge sewage into the
sanitary system and facilities that do not by imposing sewer rent upon the former and exempting
the latter from sewer rent.
This local law also improves the definition of two of the terms used in the sewer rent law.
Section 2 – Repeal and replacement of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 174-1 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is repealed and the following
substituted in its place:
§174-1 Legislative Intent.
The Town Board finds that it is in the public interest to raise funds to operate, maintain and repair
the sanitary sewer system and, if deemed appropriate by the Town Board and not prohibited by
General Municipal Law § 453(3), to expand such system through a sewer rent rather than by
taxation because a sewer rent more equitably distributes the cost since it is a function of usage
computed based upon water consumption and is charged to all the users of the sanitary sewer
system, including tax-exempt properties.
The sewer rent law is intended to levy charges for sanitary sewer service based upon a property’s

real property whose sewage is not discharged into the sanitary sewer system (e.g. properties

system but also consume water that is not returned as sewage to the sanitary sewer system, such
as water used to irrigate fairways or fill water hazards. This law takes that distinction into
consideration by imposing sewer rent for the facilities that do discharge sewage into the sanitary
system and exempting from sewer rent the facilities that do not discharge sewage into the
sanitary system.
Section 3 – Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 174-3 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by adding the following
new subsection F.
F. If a system user has installed water meters that exclusively measure the volume of water being
used for activities that do not result in sewage being discharged into the sanitary sewer system,
the system user shall not be subject to sewer rent based upon the volume of water measured by
such meters. To be eligible for this exemption, a system user must demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Town Engineer (or other designated town official) that the water measured by
such water meters is being used solely for activities that do not result in sewage being discharged
into the sanitary sewer system. The exemption shall last for three years but can be renewed for
additional three year periods if on or before the date on which the then current exemption
expires, the sewer user demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer (or other
designated town official) that the water measured by such water meters is still being used solely
for activities that do not result in sewage being discharged into the sanitary sewer system. The
Town Engineer (or other designated town official) shall maintain a record of the date on which
each exemption is granted or renewed. The failure of a system user that has been granted an
exemption to renew that exemption prior to its expiration date shall subject that user to a sewer
rent for the water consumed between the expiration date and the date upon which a renewal is
granted even though had the exemption been renewed prior to its expiration date, the system
user would not have been subject to a sewer rent for the consumption of such water. The failure
of the Town Engineer (or other designated town official) to maintain a record of the date on which
an exemption is granted or renewed shall not be a defense to the imposition of a sewer rent under
the circumstances described in the preceding sentence.
Section 4 – Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
The definition of SEWER RENT in section 174-2 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby
is amended by adding the word “sewage” between the word “discharging” and the word “into”.
The definition of SEWER USERS in section 174-2 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby
is amended by adding the word “sewage” between the word “discharge” and the word “into”.
Section 5 – Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.

This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
