PURSUANT TO THE GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 202.1, SUSPENSION OF LAW ALLOWING THE ATTENDANCE OF MEETINGS TELEPHONICALLY OR OTHER SIMILAR SERVICE: Article 7 of the Public Officers Law, to the extent necessary to permit any public body to meet and take such actions authorized by the law without permitting in public in-person access to meetings and authorizing such meetings to be held remotely by conference call or similar service, provided that the public has the ability to view or listen to such proceeding and that such meetings are recorded and later transcribed; PRESENT: Supervisor Nancy Seligson Councilwoman Abby Katz Councilwoman Jaine Elkind Eney Councilwoman Sabrina Fiddelman Councilman Jeffery L. King ALSO PRESENT: Christina Battalia, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator Connie Green O’Donnell, Deputy Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney CALL TO ORDER - WORK SESSION Additionally Present: Lindsey Luft Assistant to the Town Administrator On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilman King, the Work Session was unanimously opened at 5:30 p.m. Comprehensive Plan Supervisor Seligson asked the Town Board for confirmation that they agree to allow the consultant AKRF to begin the background work and public outreach this spring. The Town Board agreed and noted that the Town still needs to announce the Steering Committee members, and reach out to the Sustainability Collaborative. Update – Sanitation Commission The Town Board reviewed the current draft of the local law for the upcoming Joint Public Hearing on th January 20. The draft focuses on the following items: 1) requirement for curbside 2) clarifies container type 3) no plastic bags set at curb 4) set size and weight limit of containers. The Town Board will amend the draft law to state no more than three 64 gallon containers at one time may be placed at the curb for pick up. The Town Board also determined to insert the word ‘or’ when referring to the Town and Commission, thereby the law does not need to be rewritten, should the Commission dissolve with respect to a newly formed District’s ability to enforce this law outside municipal boundaries. Mr. Altieri stated that he would discuss this with bond counsel. Supervisor Seligson informed the Town Board that the Village of Larchmont is committed to moving forward with the District, but the Sanitation Budget was not approved at the last Commission meeting. It was noted that there was a Commission discussion regarding apportionment and the budget in light of a 1989 memo. This memo discussed Route 2A, on the south side of Harrison Drive, which is in the Town, but serviced by the Village, and Route 4A which is in the Village and serviced by the Town. The Commission is currently gathering actual weights per municipality so these areas can be allocated properly in the Budget. Additionally, Supervisor Seligson stated that Lorraine Walsh has prepared a draft for the Advisory Board/Committee, using the Ambulance District Advisory Committee as the example. The draft specifies that the Advisory Committee be comprised of two elected Officials from each municipality and one resident from each community. The draft is still under review and will come before the Town Board soon. 1 January 6, 2021 Racial Equity Task Force Councilman King reported that the Task Force continues to meet weekly, and met with the community stakeholders’ last Monday. This included Dr. Shaps Superintendent of Mamaroneck Schools who spoke about his interactions with all the Town departments, specifically with the Youth Officers. The Task Force has come up with some recommendations for the youth. To date, the Town has received 223 responses to the Police Survey and the Task Force has begun reviewing them. A reminder post card is being mailed to residents tomorrow. The Task Force is developing ‘tasks’ which will become part of the report with a list of recommendations. Review of Organization Agenda The Town Board had no changes or comments. Town Newsletter Supervisor Seligson asked the Town Board if they had any items or topics for the upcoming Newsletter, and the Town Board made some suggestions. New Business Supervisor Seligson asked if there were any comments with respect to the three search firms that rose to the top for the Town Administrator search. Councilwoman Fiddelman added that she was happy with all three firms, but was most impressed with the top firm, especially the woman who would be leading the search. EXECUTIVE SESSION On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilwoman Katz, the Board unanimously agreed to enter into an Executive Session to discuss appointments to Boards and Commissions. On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilman King, the Board unanimously agreed to end the Executive Session. 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 the tragic events taking place at the Nation’s Capital. Supervisor Seligson noted that the Town Board met for a worksession beginning at five thirty this evening. STATE OF THE TOWN ADDRESS 2021 Each year, at the first meeting of the New Year, I deliver a State of the Town Address to review the previous year and look forward to the new one. I’m pleased to present a recap of Town of Mamaroneck government in 2020 and a look forward to 2021. This past year was, of course, very different than any other we’ve experienced. The Coronavirus pandemic took over the year and permeated every aspect of running the Town of Mamaroneck and our lives. As I reread my Supervisor Reports and Newsletters from 2020, I realized that in January and February 2020, we, and the rest of the country, didn’t know what was in store for us, but by March we started to react, respond and adapt to an unexpected and terrifying reality. Following the lead of the County and NYS, I declared a State of Emergency in March. Doing so allowed us to respond quickly to protect residents and employees and to reduce stress on the community brought about by the pandemic. In adherence to social distancing guidance, we moved all meetings from in-person to online zoom format, we modified staff schedules to limit employee exposure to people, we closed the Town Center two days a week and permitted visits by appointment only. We installed a greeter at the front door of the Town Center, new TMFD Fire Chief Shawn Hughes, who is a wonderful addition. 2 January 6, 2021 We extended building permit expirations, and the taxable status date. We provided property tax relief by extending the no interest penalty pay deadline. We banned gasoline powered leaf blowers and issued a moratorium on rock removal. Thanks to Councilwoman Abby Katz, our parking guru, we eased parking restrictions and continued to watch the situation throughout the year. I monitored the Covid cases in the Town of Mamaroneck on a daily basis. I spoke with County and State officials three times a week. I participated in a weekly LMC TV show called Community Conversation Update with Local Officials with the mayors of the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck. I issued Coronavirus update robocalls and email blasts on a regular basis. The most important thing is that throughout the pandemic, the Town of Mamaroneck kept functioning. We kept providing essential services and never closed. That means that sanitation and highway workers, fire, police and ambulance workers, and community service, Town court, building department, recreation, Town clerk and administrative staff showed up for work and stood tall in the face and threat of the pandemic. It was heartening to see the outpouring of appreciation from residents for Sanitation and Highway workers. The entire Town staff deserves a round of applause and I’m proud of all of them. In spite of the Coronavirus, the Town had many events and accomplishments this year. I will review a few of the most important ones. The Town Center was the site for early voting in our community and accommodated over 10,000 people who voted early in late October. In early August, we survived Storm Isaias and the difficult week of recovery after. The Town and the entire County were severely impacted by Storm Isaias with 75% of the Town without power on the night of the storm. We participated in daily conference calls with Con Ed and, finally a week later, with Altice/Optimum too. It took too long for Con Ed to restore power to Town residents and to all residents of Westchester County. I compiled all the emails I received from upset residents and presented them to our state representatives as well as to the chair of the Public Service Commission. Town staff and officials worked seven days a week following the storm to clear roads, pick up debris, and advocate for power restoration. Deputy Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney has represented the Town of Mamaroneck on United Westchester, a group of local, county, and State officials that have worked together since 2018 to implement significant and necessary improvements to storm response efforts in Westchester County. She co-chaired the Con Ed subcommittee. United Westchester released a Storm Response Report this week with detailed analyses and recommendations to address the failures of the electric utility and telecommunications companies in Westchester. The Town’s strong financial position proved to be more important in 2020 given the remarkable change in the economy. The Town maintained its Aaa financial rating, the highest rating possible. As a result of the top rating, we were able to refund debt at 1.1% interest, an incredibly low rate that will save residents money in the future. Because of the New York State mandates and the goal of keeping the community safe, many of the most popular recreation programs were severely limited or cancelled in 2020. As a result, the Town experienced a dramatic decrease in revenues. However, the Recreation Department staff seemed to see that as a challenge and created alternative programming for all interests and ages. The Town’s solid fund balances and strong financial strength should give us the ability to weather the uncertainty and challenges of the economy and financial implications ahead. We worked hard to engage all residents to complete the 2020 Census resulting in a 75.3% participation rate. We supported the Boy Scouts, Lions Club and Mamaroneck Historical Society in restoration of the Delancey Cemetery and improvements to the Quaker Burial Ground Cemetery. Much needed renovations to spruce up the Senior Center were completed. Since we are an old established community, the need for infrastructure upgrades and improvements never rests in the Town. One of those areas is sewer infrastructure. The Town completed Phase I of sanitary sewer repairs in November, including pipe replacements, manhole rehabilitation, sewer liners and joint grouting as part of required improvements to improve water quality in Long Island Sound. The Town, along with the Village of Larchmont, City of New Rochelle and Village of Pelham Manor received a $5.2 million grant from NYS representing 40% of the cost of the improvements. The Town will continue repairs on remaining defects in 2021. After months of consideration, public comment and revisions the Town Board passed a revised rock removal law. We also enacted a full moratorium on rock removal that expires in June 2021. 3 January 6, 2021 Of course, the Town also faced the unrest and upset in our country this year about the unjust racial realities of our society. George Floyd’s death was a tragedy, and it exposed the roots of the problems and systems in our country that perpetuate inequalities. Students and residents rose to the occasion to acknowledge the suffering with two events in our community. The first was a student march organized by MHS Student Kayla Yan in June. The second was a Community Gathering for Racial Justice and Equality in memory of George Floyd, organized by the Town, along with the Villages of Mamaroneck and Larchmont. Councilman Jeff King did a great job as the emcee for the event, and he continues the effort by chairing the Town’s Racial Equity Task Force. Councilwoman Sabrina Fiddelman joins and supports him on the Task Force whose mission is to foster greater equity for all people in the Town of Mamaroneck by evaluating Town practices and services and engaging the community in discussions to raise awareness of inequities that exist in the Town based on race, gender, religion or sexual orientation and endeavor to correct them. I believe we are long overdue for a reckoning of our country’s history and that we stand together in our community to welcome and be respectful of everyone regardless of skin color, race, gender, sexual identity, and age and immigration status. Now, let me turn to the upcoming year, 2021. Several initiatives planned for 2020 were delayed and we’re looking forward to seeing them to fruition in 2021. The Comprehensive Plan update is poised to begin and we hope to begin engaging with residents in spring 2021. We will need your participation and input to create a future-looking vision for the Town. The Town website, which never feels like it works well enough, is undergoing a redesign. With Assistant Town Administrator Lindsey Luft at the helm, we all have great expectations. But know it will take most of 2021 to produce it. Capital projects for 2021 include:  the continued rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer system as noted earlier.  Drainage, traffic and aesthetic improvements to Madison Avenue will brighten up and make safer that entrance to the Town. The project will be made more affordable with a grant from NYS.  In 2021, we are planning for the renovation of the Memorial Park Playground.  The long-awaited community solar project will begin construction on the roof of the Hommocks Ice Rink in the late winter. This project will bring lower cost electricity to low and moderate income residents through solar panel installations on the roof of the ice rink and from rental income from that installation to the Town.  We look forward to continuing the conversation about racial equity in the community with the Racial Equity Task Force. I also have several environmental sustainability projects that I would like to see accomplished in the Town in 2021. We need to set an energy reduction target for the Town and align our goals with the new NYS Community Leadership and Climate Protection Act. We need to better report on the existing energy reductions and related cost savings in the Town. We need to offer, publicize and encourage all the sustainable initiatives available to residents. We need to green the Mamaroneck Town code. I announced last January that Town Administrator, Steve Altieri, was planning to retire this past year. Well, he did technically retire, but we didn’t let him go. Now we do have to find a replacement for him because he will be leaving in April. A Search Committee of Councilwomen Eney, Fiddelman and I have been interviewing recruitment firms to aid in the search for Steve’s replacement, and the Town Board plans to vote to approve one tonight. We will begin the search in earnest tomorrow. It is well known that Steve has been an excellent Town Administrator and has dedicated 40 years to the Town of Mamaroneck. We do not think the task of replacing him will be an easy job ahead of us. As we enter 2021, we have a lot to be thankful for in the Town of Mamaroneck. We have a good government that provides high level services and is in strong financial condition. We have wonderful natural amenities of Long Island Sound, the Larchmont Reservoir, the Leatherstocking Trails and Hommocks Conservation Area. We have dedicated employees, volunteers and residents. We need to support one another to get through this pandemic by continuing to take precautions to protect ourselves and others and to offer help and assistance to others where we can. I look forward to working with the Town Board members, staff and volunteers on the initiatives of 2021.
