Discussion - Comprehensive Plan
The Town Board received an updated plan schedule prepared by the Town’s consultant, AKRF. The Town
Board continued their discussion of whether to begin the Comprehensive Plan outreach phase at this time.
There are differences of opinion, but all agreed to invite representatives from AKRF, and the Chair of the
Steering Committee, Melissa Kaplan-Macey, to the June 17 worksession for a discussion.
ADDED ITEMS
Above Ground Pools
A number of residents have asked to install above ground pools during the summer. The Town Board is
sympathetic to residents’ needs as many public and private pools will be closed or limited during the
summer. The Town Board agreed to waive the setback requirements until September 1, at which time if the
pool remains and is non-conforming, the resident will need to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Additionally, any current requirements for a pool specifically, with respect to safety, would remain in
effect. It was noted that Supervisor Seligson has the authority to make this suspension as part of her
authority under the State of Emergency.
Community Gathering for George Floyd
Due to the current regional and national events taking place, residents feel the need to do something
within our community. During this corona virus epidemic, it seems unwise for a march. A gathering of the
community is being planned for June 10 from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Harbor Island.
Councilman King spoke passionately about not letting this moment pass. It is a time to do something more
to address systemic racism in our community, adding that we have a disproportionate number of persons
of color within our community. We need to reach out to CURE and announce the creation of a task force to
address this within our community.
Update – Coronavirus
Supervisor Seligson stated that the Governor has announced that camps will be allowed to open, but
unfortunately without any guidance. Without clear guidelines, the Town, along with all municipalities in
Westchester, will not open camps this summer. Our Recreation Department is working hard to develop
acceptable alternatives to provide some relief to our families. Supervisor Seligson gave some examples of
the types of programs as well as how the pool may operate this summer. Grievance Day will remain in
effect with proper social distancing protocols in place. The Court System will most likely remain closed until
August. The Traffic Committee will review the 15-minute parking along Myrtle Blvd, and have a
recommendation for the Town Board. A number of businesses are putting in applications for outdoor
dining; one in particular is the Nautilus Diner.
New Business
A parade of vehicles will be taking pace to honor our 2020 high school graduates. The Long Island Sound
Futures Fund Grant has been submitted, and the Town is thankful to Barton and Loguidice for their pro
bono assistance. Supervisor Seligson’s newsletter will go out by mail this month, if anyone has anything to
add, please let her office know.
CALL TO ORDER - REGULAR MEETING
The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Seligson at
7:30 p.m.
Supervisor Seligson noted that the Town Board met for a worksession beginning at six o’clock this evening.

SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT
It has been a difficult time in our country. If the Coronavirus pandemic wasn’t enough, the nation and our
region is now convulsed with facing the reality of racial problems in our society. One man’s death is a
tragedy, but the root of the problems can be found in the systems that perpetuate the inequalities. As the
country hears more and more of what it’s like to be a person of color in America, I know we stand together
wanting our community to include and be respectful of everyone regardless of skin color, race, gender,
sexual identity, age and immigration status. I’m proud that the Town of Mamaroneck Police Department
operates with these same standards and is trained and educated to continue them.
Many people have expressed interest in having an event in our community to honor the protests and
demonstrations for racial equality. I’m pleased to report that I’ve been working with the Town Board
members and the mayors from the Village of Mamaroneck and Larchmont to plan an event for next
th
Wednesday, June 10 at 5:00 pm in Harbor Island Park. It will be a Community Gathering for Racial Justice
and Equality in memory of George Floyd. We will have a few clergy members speak and the three chief
elected officials.
There is a special event this week to honor the MHS graduates of the Class of 2020. There will be vehicle
th
parades from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm tomorrow, Thursday, June 4. The cars will start from Harbor Island Park
and will take routes to their respective elementary schools. Please feel free to cheer them on from your
th
homes. Mayor Walsh, Mayor Murphy and I have proclaimed Thursday, June 4, Mamaroneck high School
Class of 2020 Day!
The Town Recreation Day Camps are cancelled for this summer due to the challenges of meeting Covid 19
protocols and keeping children safe. I am hopeful that the Town will be able to offer alternative
recreational programs and open the Hommocks Pool in July with restrictions. We will be submitting a plan
to the County Health department for review. Stay tuned.
The Town submitted a grant application yesterday for $150,000 to develop an Asset Management Program.
We are proceeding through Phase 1 of the reopening, and hope to be in phase 2 soon. Please remember to
wear a mask in public if you are within 6 feet of another person. We need to prevent any increases in
Coronavirus cases.

2. Consideration of Certiorari
On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman, it was
RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby authorizes the settlement of the following tax
certiorari on the following terms:
New Waverly Avenue Associates LLC
441 Waverly Avenue
Section/Block/Lot: 8-25-278
501 Waverly Avenue
Section/Block/Lot: 8-25-273
No street number Waverly Avenue
Section/Block/Lot: 8-25-268.2
442 Waverly Avenue
Section/Block/Lot: 8-25-33
All are in the Town of Mamaroneck and the Village of Mamaroneck
On May 30, 2018, the Town Board approved a settlement of certiorari proceedings for the years 2011-
2016. The agreed upon value for the aggregate assessment of these four lots for 2016 was $1,554,650.
The year 2017 was not part of the proposed settlement because the remediation and monitoring
costs, expended in that year and the remaining costs for remediation, had not been totaled at the time of
the settlement.
The petitioner produced evidence of remediation and monitoring costs incurred in 2017 through
2019. Based upon the proof, the attorney for the School District and I (with input from the attorney for the
Village of Mamaroneck) tentatively agreed to aggregate values starting at around the agreed-upon
aggregate value in 2016 and increasing in the subsequent two years.
Those values are:
$1,540,000 for 2017
$1,565,000 for 2018 and
