SUPERVISOR’S STATE OF THE TOWN ADDRESS
Good evening and welcome to the Supervisor’s 2020 State of the Town Address. As we embark on a
new decade, I would like to thank the Town Board members, Town staff, Town volunteers and Town
residents for working to make our Town a community - one with thoughtful leadership, excellent
services and good people. We have many things of which to be proud this past year and many
opportunities and challenges ahead.
Let’s take a look at the highlights of 2019:
Number one on my list is sewer infrastructure repairs. As most of you have heard me say, good
functioning sanitary sewer infrastructure is the basis for civilized society. The Town spent $2.1 million in
2019 to repair all of the sewer infrastructure in the New Rochelle Sewer District, one of the two sewer
districts in which the Town sits. We will complete all of the repairs in the Mamaroneck Valley Sewer
District in 2020. The effort was also a good example of intermunicipal cooperation as the Town, along
with the City of New Rochelle, and Villages of Larchmont and Pelham Manor, entered into an
intermunicipal agreement to apply for a state grant, study the system and construct the repairs as one
project. The resulting economies of scale brought the work in at lower prices than anticipated and
allowed for more repair work to be accomplished. The group also received a $5.2 million grant from
NYS DEC in 2018.
The Town’s Aaa bond rating was again confirmed by Moody’s Investor Rating Services in 2019. This is
the highest possible financial rating and allows the Town to borrow money for essential capital projects
at the lowest interest rates available. This past year we were able to borrow funds at an interest rate
of 1.8% for bonds for infrastructure improvements.
The Food Truck Festival in early October 2019 was one of the highlights of the Recreation Department
programs. Thousands of people came to enjoy the beautiful fall day, delicious food, live music, and
police, fire and ambulance department displays.

This past September, Backgroundchecks.org named the Town of Mamaroneck the safest “city” in
th
Westchester County and the 5 safest “city” in New York State in an article published in the “Daily
Voice”. Thank you to the Town of Mamaroneck police officers.
The Town purchased a new ladder truck for the Fire Department and honored longtime firefighter
Dennis Tortorella who was the Grand Marshal in the Memorial Day Parade.
I’m proud that the Town continues to be a leader on the environmental and sustainability front with
implementation of the Healthy Yards program, Love Your Food program, the Mamaroneck Plastic Bag
Reduction Law, the installation of public electric vehicle charging stations, and the continued success of
the Food Waste Recycling Program.
In an effort to improve the public’s visibility of Town offices and facilities, and create a consistent Town
image, we replaced the road entry signs to the Town and signs at the Town’s major facilities.
What Are We Looking Forward to in 2020?
Number one on this list is the update of the Comprehensive Plan. I know we’ve been talking about if for
a long time, and we are now poised to move forward in early 2020. The most important aspect of the
update process will be hearing from residents. We want you to engage with us about how you feel now
and your vision for the future regarding the Town’s community character, recreational amenities,
housing choices, mobility, economic development now and your hopes for the future. We are in the
process of forming a Steering Committee that will help guide the process and review materials from the
consultants. We hope to begin engaging with residents in the next few months.
There are always important infrastructure improvements needed and this year we plan to renovate the
Senior Center, upgrade the Memorial Park Playground, Install new locker rooms at the Ice Rink, and
improve the Town pools at Hommocks.
A little golf anyone? The US Open will be hosted in the Town at Winged Foot Golf Club in June 2020
where they expect 25,000 visitors a day for the tournament. The Town staff have been working closely
with Winged Foot and USGA staff to organize and orchestrate this massive event. The Sustainability
Collaborative has been working with the Town and USGA staff to make the event as environmentally
friendly as possible. They’re working to make sure all the food is served in compostable or recyclable
containers, the leftover food is donated or composted, the number of water bottles sold are kept to a
minimum, electric and hybrid vehicles are used as much as possible, and more.
An exciting cutting-edge project for 2020 is the Community Solar Project. The Town plans to lease the
roof of the Hommocks Ice Rink to a solar developer who will install solar panels that generate
renewable discounted energy for Town residents. The Town will receive annual lease payments, one to
two hundred residents will receive lower-cost renewable energy and the solar developer makes a small
profit from available tax credits. Pretty cool.
The 2020 US Census Update will be occurring in the first half of this New Year. The outcome of this
critical Census will determine our federal, state and county representation, as well as our share of
federal and state aid. Each person counts, and it is essential that we engage all our residents to assure
that an accurate and complete count of our local population is collected. The Town, along with the
Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck, are working together to engage local leaders to reach out to
their communities to help people understand the importance of the Census, and to feel comfortable
completing the Census forms.
I would like to thank Town Administrator, Steve Altieri, for his continued dedication and commitment
to the Town of Mamaroneck. His 38-year stewardship of the Town is well regarded by all professionals
throughout the County and he is certainly appreciated by me and the entire Town Board. He has
assembled an excellent leadership staff in each Town Department. Steve’s “off the top of his head”
knowledge of every aspect of the Town’s history and workings is more than impressive. He gives his
time, effort and energy at a level that makes him the ideal Administrator. He is always Mr. Town of
Mamaroneck. All of this makes it more difficult to believe that he intends to retire at the end of 2020.
I’ve checked the laws, and he is indeed allowed to retire. The Town Board will embark on a search for a
new administrator in 2020.
Finally, I look forward to guiding the Town to another year of good government, fiscal responsibility,
and improved sustainability. Thank you again to Jaine Elkind Eney, Abby Katz, Sabrina Fiddelman, and
Jeff King for using their skills and efforts as Town Board members to think creatively, and analyze and
review issues responsibly to make the Town the best it can be.
