Session was unanimously opened at 5:00PM.
Discussion - Comprehensive Plan
Additionally Present: Vince Ferrandino of Ferrandino and Associates
The Board met with Mr. Ferrandino and reviewed his revised Scope of Services. Mr.
Ferrandino spoke of the differences between this document and the two other versions that
the Town Board has previously reviewed. Among other things, this document added a four to
five month time frame for public engagement. The Town Board asked Mr. Ferrandino to
describe more fully the difference between Stakeholders and members of a Steering
Committee. Mr. Ferrandino responded that Stakeholders would be approximately 8-10
residents. These individuals would be topic specific. They would meet one time in person or
by phone for their input. The Steering Committee would comprise of 7-9 people from various
boards and commissions or civic associations. The Steering Committee would meet
throughout the process and review drafts.
The Town Board noted that the School District may have useful statistical data for Ferrandino
and Associates to utilize. Mr. Ferrandino affirmed that he will not reinvent the wheel when it
comes to statistical data.
The Town Board is concerned that the timeframe for beginning the project is too ambitious
as they still have questions about the scope of services. Additionally, the Town Board feels
they have work to do among themselves before finalizing a contract, and will therefore,
convene an additional special meeting.
The Town Board noted that an additional conversation should take place as to whether to
engage just the unincorporated area or to involve both Villages.
The Town Board will defer the approval of the consultant agreement to a later meeting.
Review – Town Fee Schedule
The Town Board reviewed the fee schedule, noting specific fee increases as proposed by the
Building Inspector.

Discussion – Proposed Storm Water Management Agreement – Winged Foot Golf Club
The Town Board reviewed the agreement and requested a number of changes. The amended
agreement is on the regular agenda for approval this evening.
Preliminary 2018 Budget Performance Review
The Town Board reviewed the memo from Mr. Altieri and a schedule from Mr. Siligato which
provided “estimated 2018 year-end figures for revenues and expenditures as well as
operating surpluses or (deficits) for each budget fund.”
Proposed Easement Agreement – 615 Fifth Avenue
The Town Board reviewed the agreement required under the terms of the approval for the
self-storage facility on Fifth Avenue. “The Agreement authorizes the Town, at the property’s
owner’s expense, to perform maintenance work on the drainage infrastructure that the
owner, though required to do so, does not perform.”
Review – Reusable Bag Law
Supervisor Seligson previewed the discussion with a brief history of previous work and
discussions that have taken place with the Town and Town Board regarding this initiative.
The Town Board reviewed in detail a draft local law limiting the use of plastic bags. “The
sources for the draft included the law in effect in New Castle and the Plastic Bag Activist Tool
Kit 2019.” The Town Board noted changes they would like to see in a new draft. Councilman
King, liaison to the Sustainability Collaborative, spoke of the work the Sustainability
Collaborative has done with this initiative, stating that the Sustainability Collaborative
believes that the community, demonstrated by a petition circulating, is ready for this to
move forward. The Town Board also noted the work being done in the school district with
respect to this initiative. The Town Board asked Mr. Maker to redraft a law for further review
that includes the comments this evening.
ADDED ITEMS
Supervisor Seligson stated that the Village of Mamaroneck Mayor, Tom Murphy is hosting an
Inherent Bias Training forum and has invited local municipalities to attend.
Supervisor Seligson updated the Town Board on residents’ complaints for not having
received notices for the second half of school tax payments. Historically the Town has not
issued these notices, but feels compelled by community sentiment to offer some form of
notification and suggests it be a sign up on the website for a request to be reminded.
Supervisor Seligson noted that the NYS DEC Wildlife Biologist Kevin Clarke received a few
complaints and has issued two reports indicating that there are a few coyotes who have
‘crossed the line’. The Town may receive a permit to remove them.

SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT
The Larchmont Mamaroneck Joint Garbage Commission collects the waste and
2
2
recycling in the Village of Larchmont and Town of Mamaroneck. The waste and recycling
are then delivered to or picked up by the County who processes both.

March 6, 2019
Recent changes in the national recycling industry have resulted in depressed
markets for the re-sale of commingled containers, particularly plastics. The proceeds from
the resale of plastics are used to offset operating costs and hold down property taxes.
For that reason, and because the County will not accept plastic bags, it is more
important than ever that our recycling material contain little or no contamination.
The Commission will no longer collect recycling material that includes or is stored
in plastic bags. The sanitation workers will talk with residents if they see someone using
plastic bags and they will put an OOPS sticker on a bag indicating why it wasn’t collected
if you use plastic bag.
If you currently use plastic bags because the recycling bins are not large enough,
we suggest you consider using a larger container. The Commission sells 48 gallon
containers for this purpose. The container can be purchased at the Maxwell Avenue
Recycling Center. I want to thank the Sanitation workers for working with the residents
and helping to educate everyone.
The Town Board had a joint meeting with the Larchmont Village Board of
st
Trustees on February 21 to review and talk about the services of the Joint Garbage
Commission of the two municipalities. With the food waste recycling program and new
sanitation technology, the two municipal boards took the opportunity to discuss possible
changes and improvements to the current sanitation services. We reviewed the current
services and collection data and talked about possible changes. We requested additional
information from the Superintendent of the Garbage Commission, Steve Altieri. We plan
to meet in late April to follow up to determine if we should proceed with changes.
Thank you to the Highway Department for their great and late night work
making Town roads safe after the snow storms we had this past week. Everything went
very smoothly.
I had the pleasure of speaking to the ninth grade Original Civics Research Class
last week. This impressive groups of MHS students meets once a week before school for
four years to learn about and experience real life civics. Thank you to Teacher Joe Liberti
for creating this class and bringing local government into the MHS.
The County has created a Climate Crisis Taskforce that is working to build on
previous efforts and create new ones to combat climate change. I sit on the Water
Subcommittee and met the Chair, Janet Harckham last week.
MHS runs an internship program for seniors. I had the pleasure of interviewing a
student last week and look forward to interviewing more to work in the Supervisor’s
office for the 6 week program. I
The Town Board continues to move forward with planning the public outreach
and scope of the proposed update to the Comprehensive Plan. We have reviewed several
draft scopes and met with consultants.
As I’ve reported in the past, the Sustainability Collaborative has been working on
a reusable bag initiative to eliminate the use of plastic bags in the Town and to
encourage people to bring reusable bags when shopping. The Town Board reviewed draft
legislation in work session this evening and looks forward to moving ahead.
CITIZEN’S COMMENTS
Supervisor Seligson asked if anyone in the audience would like to address the Board, and
there was not.
PRESENTATION – CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE IN EQUITY
John Wolham from the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services presented the
Town and the Town Assessor, Pamela Valenza, with a Certificate of Excellence in Equity
Award. Mr. Wolhan spoke very highly of the Town and the Town Assessor for their
3
