Discussion – Proposed Assessment Legislation
The Town Board reviewed draft legislation prepared by Mr. Maker that addresses assessment of properties
converted to condominiums. In the purpose of the law Mr. Maker writes ”there is a real possibility that
properties, including two-family homes, may be converted into condominium ownership to avail
themselves of this favorable tax treatment”. The setting of a public hearing on this legislation was added to
the regular agenda for this evening.

should be handled moving forward, specifically, whether they should be removed from the agenda and
required to begin again. Councilwoman Elkind Eney asked Mr. Maker if this is a decision for the Zoning
Board of Appeals, or for the Town Board. Mr. Maker responded that he thinks the Zoning Board of Appeals
can make their own decisions. He also stated that he will follow up with the Attorney for the Land Use
Boards, Lisa Hochman. Additionally, Mr. Maker will add the Planning Board to the discussion, as both
Boards should be consistent.

SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT
We will continue our public hearing for the 2019 Town Budget this evening. The Town Board and
staff have been finalizing the budget details.
It has been a nice celebratory holiday season in the Town. We had a fun and well attended Town
staff holiday party with a visit from Santa. Congratulations to the Community Resource Center for
20years of service to the community. They had their gala event December 6th and honored
Reverend Bill Crawford who recently retired from Larchmont Avenue Church. The Mamaroneck
Historical Society had an afternoon of holiday cheer at the school house in Harbor Island Park. It’s
very interesting and fun to step into the school house and step back in time.
I attended a County conference on Climate Change last week and went to the WMOA dinner in
Pelham Village. I was also interviewed by an MHS student who is participating 4-year Civics Class.

Stephen V. Altieri
Budget Officer
To be published: November 30, 2018
On motion of Supervisor Seligson, seconded by Councilwoman Elkind Eney, the Public Hearing was
unanimously opened.
Supervisor Seligson asked Mr. Altieri to address the positive changes to the Preliminary Budget since the
first Public Hearing on December 5, 2018.
Mr. Altieri explained these in detail, hereby entered into the record as follows:
Memorandum
To: Supervisor and Town Board
Re: Revised 2019 Preliminary Budget
Date: December 15, 2018
3
December 17, 2018
Subsequent to the 2019 Preliminary Budget hearing held on December 5, changes are proposed to the
Budget for your consideration. These changes are the result of changes in circumstances that result in the
budget document being more up to date as we move into 2019.
Below is the summary of the 2019 Preliminary Budget as presented at the budget hearing:
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 following is the summary of the revised 2019 Preliminary Budget which is recommended for adoption:
2018 2019 Change % Change
Adopted Budget Preliminary
Budget
(REVISED
Expenditures $39,207,547 $40,247,166 $1,039,619 2.6%
Non-Property Tax $12,103,783 $12,155,003 $51,220 .4%
Revenue
Applied Surplus $1,457,725 $1,577,500 $119,775 8.2%
Tax Levy $25,646,039 $26,514,663 $868,624 3.4%
th
The revisions to the budget does further reduce total expenditures and the tax levy, both by 1/10 of 1%.
There is a $25,000 increase in the application of surplus. The changes however do not result in changes to
the tax rates for the various budget funds.
Proposed Budget Revisions
1. Medical Insurance: Subsequent to the Budget hearing the Town did receive official word that the
final increase in health insurance would be on average 3%. The rate change is on average because,
there are different plans that apply: family coverage, individual coverage and retiree coverage.
Since the number of insureds is different for each class of coverage the total cost must be
calculated for each class. As a result the Town was able to further reduce the expenditures in the
Townwide and Part Town Fund by a total of $110,000. There were reductions in the other funds
however the amounts were relatively insignificant; some in the hundreds of dollars. The
recommendation is to leave the medical insurance appropriations unchanged in the special
districts.
2. Police Department Salaries: Subject to final ratification by the Town Board, the Town and the PBA
have reached a tentative agreement to extend the existing labor contract that expires in December
of 2018. For 2019, the proposed contract extension calls for a 2% increase in salaries. The increase
is consistent with the change in the regional consumer price index over the last twelve months.
Should the Board approve the contract extension, the impact is reflected in the revised 2019
Preliminary Budget. The impact of the proposed change in Police salaries results in a total increase
of $63,807 increase in salary appropriations on a base of $5,447,917. The actual cost increase is
1.2%. The new salary total will be $5,181,724. Should the Town Board prefer not to approve the
collective bargaining agreement the salary line will be changed back to the schedule reflected in the
original version of the Preliminary Budget.
3. Proposed New Positions- Senior Center and Hommocks Ice Rink: The 2019 Preliminary Budget
includes two new positions; one for the Senior Center and a second for the Hommocks Ice Rink. In
the Preliminary Budget the proposal was to fill the positions in September of 2019 resulting in a
savings of approximately $72,806. In calculating the starting date for these positions, we had
neglected to realize that to minimize the impact of the costs for the new positions, part time
positions in both programs were deleted from the budget. Consequently, the September start date
poses staffing shortages at the Senior Center and the Ice Rink which will effect programming.
Therefore the proposal is to have the new employee start dates moved up to April instead of
September. As a result the original estimated savings of $72,806 is reduced to $44,000. To
4
December 17, 2018
compensate for a portion of the change the proposal is to add $25,000 to surplus application in the
Townwide budget.
With the changes proposed here, the 2019 Proposed Town Budget remains a responsible budget meeting
the needs of the community. Although the tax levy exceeds the New York State Tax Cap guideline by 1.3%
the property tax implications are quite reasonable considering the environment in which the Town is
operating. Our financial strength and stability remains in place. This is evidenced by the recent
confirmation of the Town’s Aaa credit rating and the upgrade in the Fire District credit rating from Aa2 to
Aa1.
Attached is a revised budget summary page and a budget summary by Fund and Department.

Stephen V. Altieri
Town Administrator/Budget Officer
Supervisor Seligson noted that she should have included in her Supervisor’s Report that Moody’s Investor
Services confirmed and renewed the Town’s triple A rating, the highest financial rating given, and has
improved the rating for the Fire District to a double A rating. Adding this is certainly good news and
thanked the Town Administrator and Town Comptroller for their stewardship.

meetings, all open to the public, have been held. She believes this is a responsible budget. It
