Memorandum
To: Supervisor and Town Board
Re: Update- Hommocks Ice Rink
Date: September 4, 2020
The rental ice making equipment and generator arrived on site Thursday,
9/3/20 and is being connected to our systems at the time of this writing. In
addition, we have finalized the arrangements for the daily delivery of fuel for
the generator. The plan is for the rink to open between September 15 and
September 18.
We are also working on the rental agreement between Mamaroneck Youth
Hockey and the Town for their use of the rink during this unique time of
COVID 19 and the use of rental ice making equipment. Mamaroneck Youth
Hockey will be the single largest user of the facility and as such our
agreement with them is to insure the Town has sufficient revenues to meet
our expenses.
By the Town Board work session next Wednesday, I will have a further
update on this matter.

MEMORANDUM
To: Members of the Town Board
cc: Stephen V. Altieri,Town Administrator
Christina Battalia,Town Clerk
From: William Maker, Jr., Attorney for the Town
Subject: Rock Removal
Date: September 4, 2020
I attach a redline version of the revised proposed law. You should receive a clean copy in
your packet.
The revisions are significant and are based upon the Town's recent experience with rock
chipping. The major changes are that the proposed law
(1)eliminates any ambiguity as to whether drilling should be included within the allotted
time for chipping rock,
(2)eliminates the possibility of suspending the permit, and
(3) requires that pulverized rock be carted away within the same period as rock can be
chipped.

Subject:Town Board Meeting- Rock Removal Code
Good Evening, Board Members:
This email refers to the Rock Removal concerns and the September 90 meeting where this discussion will
continue. We have concerns about issues that we would like addressed in the code for rock removal.
With a wide spectrum of choices available for types and prices of homes in the Town of Mamaroneck,we
are afraid that the altering of the terrain, the proximity to the property lines and the massive increases in
square footage is changing that. We are in a lovely community neighborhood with houses in all price
ranges. That has been changing for quite a while now. Smaller older houses in decent structural
condition are being knocked down and demolished along with the history and charm of
Mamaroneck. Many of these large, newer houses, though beautiful, are oversized and financially off-
limits to anyone, other than the elite,who are looking for a starter home.
With that said,this is about rock removal also. We would leave the legal verbiage to the experts but we
would like to see the spirit of these concerns reflected.
1. The code covering what is rock removal and the noise created should cover ANY rock and terrain
alteration and excavation of any kind by mechanical means and the noise it creates. The method of that
excavation and alteration by way of chipping, drilling, removing, jackhammering, etc. should be included
but not limited to that means. Noise is noise.
Page 13 of 81
- - 2. Codes should reflect a formula whereby the size of the property, the size of the existing house and the
proximity of the bordering house and property be respectful of neighboring properties. If there is such a
formula, it should be changed because the houses going up around us are much too big for the size of the
lot, and too close in proximity to adjoining properties and the houses that are situated on them.
3. No permits for demolition, rock removal, chipping,digging, etc. should be given within a certain time
period of the granting of another permit if the properties are within X yards away from the other
property. Our request would be for at least 100 yards. (As of this writing, our house is in the middle of
the two properties where houses were simultaneously torn down and excavation and rock removal being
done.) Consideration should be given to how long this is going to take place and how long we need to put
up with the dirt,the smell of diesel, and the feeling of living in the middle of a major construction site
with numerous construction vehicles parked upon them.The dates and times of this demolition should
be closely monitored.
4. Permits should not be given for creating a basement where none existed before. Nor should permits
be granted for excavating deeper and wider to respect those proximities addressed above.
4. We will defer to the experts as we really do not yet know what impact these excavations and
enormous buildings are having on soil erosion and water runoff. We are sure there are impact surveys
done on the environment as a whole, but what about the impact on the next door neighbor? Mamaroneck
is a glacial erratic area with rock ledges that extend into many adjoining properties.These excavations
affect all of us.
5. There should be a structural reason for the demolition of an existing house, not esthetics. If the house
does not suit your purpose, buy something else. On one side of our house, the house was in disrepair. It
is understandable that the house should be torn down. However, the size of the lot and proximity to the
other adjoining property and home, does not call for the size of the planned house and the amount of
excavation being done to accommodate that house. It is yet to be seen what impact will have on the
foundations of the other home, our home,as well as numerous plantings on our and surrounding
properties. Two trees on our property now have roots exposed due to the excavation. In addition,our
rock wall shifted in several places and is now crumbling into that property due to the vibrations from the
machinery. On the other side of our house, a perfectly stable and pretty house was torn down for no
reason other than, it not being the style of house in vogue. Again,go somewhere else if you do not like
what is available.
We seem to be getting so caught up in the codes,the language and legal rights,that we are losing sight of
what these codes are doing to the basic quality of life in this town. Just because an owner or builder has a
right to do something, does not mean it is right to do it. We hope you will take some of these issues on
our "wish list" into consideration. We know this is not an easy fix and we appreciate the work you do and
how the decisions that are made do not make all of you very popular. Being native Brooklynites
and having lived and worked in New York City, we appreciate living in the Town of Mamaroneck and all it
has to offer. Thank you for your consideration and your efforts to keep the peace.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Addendum to Sanitation Services
Budget Alternatives
Date: September 9, 2020
In my original memorandum, I mentioned that the catalyst for this review was the
Village's decision to budget their share of the Commission's 2020 budget based
upon the ratio of assessments between the Town and Village. The ratio is 600/o
Town and 40% Village.
What I have done is amend the spreadsheet to include a fourth column. In the
fourth column you will see that the Town's share of the Commission budget
increases by $106,000 when the assessment ration apportionment is applied. The
average Town Garbage District tax increases to $663. Attached is a revised
spreadsheet.

Re: Update Sanitation Commission Review
Date: September 4, 2020
The information for this item will be distributed to you on Monday. The plan
is to present budgetary information regarding alternatives for the operation
of the Commission. Several organizational alternatives are under review:
1. The Town and Village would each have their own sanitation
departments with a smaller version of the Commission operating the
Maxwell Avenue Facility. I will be preparing an estimated budget for
the Town to operate its own sanitation department
2. An extension of the boundaries of the Town of Mamaroneck Garbage
District into the Village of Larchmont. This arrangement would be
comparable to the structure of the Town Ambulance District.

Re: Evaluation of Alternatives
Sanitation Service Budget Alternatives
The following is a review of alternative structural changes to the manner in
which sanitation services are provide to unincorporated area residents.
Currently the Larchmont Mamaroneck Joint Garbage Disposal Commission
(Commission) provides sanitation services to the unincorporated Town and
the Village of Larchmont. The Commission, created by an act of the New
York State legislature in 1937was originally for the purpose of constructing
an incinerator for use by the Town and Village. Costs for the construction
and operation of the incinerator were apportioned based upon the tonnage
of garbage collected by each community by their respective sanitation
departments.
Later, in 1973, the Town and the Village made the decision to expand the
responsibilities of the Commission to include both the collection and disposal
of garbage. The tonnage of waste delivered into the system by each
community continued to be the method of apportioning the cost of the
Commission. Since 1973, the Commission's responsibilities have expanded
to include the collection of all recycling material including paper/cardboard,
commingled containers, organic waste and most recently the management
of the food waste drop-off center.
What prompted the current review of the Commission, was the Village of
Larchmont's questioning of the waste tonnage method of cost
apportionment. The Village felt that more analysis should be done of the
efforts necessary to collect garbage in the Town and Village and that the
apportionment method should be revisited. For their current 2020/2021
Budget the Village budgeted their share of the Commission budget based
upon the ratio of assessed valuation between the Town and Village. That
ratio is 40% Village and 60% Town. Using the tonnage apportionment
method, the Village's share of the 2020 Commission budget was 47% versus
53% for the Town. The difference in the apportionment methods increases
the Town's expense for waste management by an estimated $250,000. As a
result, an evaluation of alternative funding methods has been prepared.

i • I'Illllcll I
Attached is a spreadsheet comparing the alternatives:
1. Column 1 is the current arrangement for the Town to participate in the
Commission based upon a tonnage apportionment.
2. Column 2 is an estimated budget for the Town to create its own
sanitation department but assuming a continued but much smaller role
for the Commission
3. Column 3 evaluates an alternative whereby the Town expands its
current Garbage District into the Village of Larchmont and essentially
assumes responsibility for the operation of the Commission.
For each alternative, I have presented budget comparisons and calculated an
estimated change in the Garbage District tax for an unincorporated area
resident.
Column 1-Current Garbage District Budget
This illustrates what has been the traditional appropriations included in the
Town's Garbage District Budget. Those appropriations include liability
insurance for the garbage trucks owned by the Town and the maintenance of
the trucks. Next is the estimated certiorari expenses for the Garbage
District, the Town's share of the Commission budget based upon garbage
tonnage and lastly the Town's debt service for the purchase of garbage
trucks. The total garbage district budget is $2,183,000. In 2020, a property
with an average assessment of $1,257,000 pays $637/year for sanitation
services.
Column 2- Creation of a Town Sanitation Department
Column 2 presents a complete budget if the Town were to create its own
sanitation department. As you review the budget, remember that in Column
1 where many line items are zero, those expenses are currently included in
the Town's share of the Commission.
Under this alternative an assumption was made the Commission would
continue to have a role, albeit smaller for processing of recycling material for
both the Town and Village. The Commission would also operate the Maxwell
Avenue recycling center. You will note a line item in the budget for the Joint
Commission that shows a reduction in expense from$1.9million to $289K.
The Town would create a sanitation department that would operate
exclusively in the unincorporated area. Additional assumptions:
O The department would have 12 employees and 1 foreman
® Collection of garbage and recycling would be at curbside
® Except for the change in backdoor to curbside collection all services of
the Town Sanitation department would remain unchanged.
2l Page
With this alternative, the Garbage District budget increases to $2,256,734
and certain Commission revenues would now be apportioned to the Town
Garbage District. The net impact is that an unincorporated resident would
pay approximately $643 in garbage district taxes based upon the current
level of assessment for the Garbage District.
Column 3- Expansion of the Town Garbage District into the Village of
Larchmont
In the Town Budget, there are a number of what are known as Special
Improvement Districts including;
• Garbage District
O Sewer District
• Street Lighting District
• Water District
Special Improvement Districts are unique to Town Budgets in New York
State. Section 209 of the NYS Town Law governs the creation and
administration of Special Improvement Districts. There is a provision of the
law that permits a Town to extend the boundaries of a special improvement
district into a Village. The extension of the boundaries is subject to approval
by the Village either by resolution or by local law. This was the process
followed when the Town, with the approval of the two villages, created the
Ambulance District.
Column 3 of the attachment presents what the Garbage District budget
would be under this alternative. Essentially, the Commission budget would
become part of the Garbage District budget. The Town Board would
continue to be the governing body for the Garbage District but would now
have responsibility for the delivery of sanitation services in the Village of
Larchmont as well as the Town unincorporated area.
Based upon the preliminary analysis the expansion of the Town Garbage
District into the Village produces roughly a ten dollar per year increase in
Garbage District taxes for an unincorporated area resident. The calculation
is based upon currently known operating costs. The tax increase is relatively
small since the assessed valuation used for the calculation of the Garbage
District tax rate is based upon both the Town and Village assessed valuation.
The assessed valuation for the District increases from 4.3billion dollars to
7.2billion dollars.
One piece of this analysis that must be further evaluated is the estimated
increase in debt expense. Under this alternative, presumably the Garbage
District would incur all debt for the purchase of garbage trucks for use
31Page
throughout the service area of the District that would be the Town and
Village.
This preliminary analysis however, provides a reasonably accurate picture of
how the Garbage District would change in each alternative. The Town could
operate its own sanitation department at a relatively small increase in costs
to the taxpayer. What must also be considered is the advantage of the
shared service that is offered through an organization such as the
Commission. At some point the Town Board should meet with the Village to
evaluate how best to move forward. This matter is timely as the Town
moves into preparation of its 2021 Town Budget

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 31, 2020
TO: Town Board
FROM: Christina Battalia
SUBJECT: Agenda Item September 9, 2020- Proposed Changes to Parking Permits
All,
I am preparing for the upcoming renewals for the Washington Square and Lester Place
residential parking permits, as well as looking forward to the January 2021 renewals for all
other permit holders who opted for a 6-month permit. I would like to reopen the parking
permit portal to allow for online renewals and payments beginning with the WSA/Lester
Place upcoming renewals. Since these renewals are less complicated that the other renewals I
am viewing this as a 'soft (re) opening' of the on-line permit process.
As I begin working with the developer to reopen and reconfigure the software and the portal,
I would like to suggest some changes. First, that we extend the WSA/Lester Place permit 30
days to give the my Office and the software developer a bit more time to make sure the
website and portal are fully functioning. Instead of a September 30 expiration, the
WSA/Lester permits would expire October 31. Secondly, I would like to suggest that we make
some changes to the other permits, Daytime, Meter 24 hr etc. This would be a good time to
make changes as the developer needs to make modifications in order to change the permit
year from May-June to Jan-Dec. Doing this together will save on cost while also streamlining
the options.
I am proposing that we eliminate the senior rate altogether, but maintain the semi-annual
option for the 24 hour permits. I am proposing that we eliminate the semi-annual option for
Paae 16 of 81
the Daytime permits. If you recall we implemented a prorated refund policy so if someone
purchases a full year, Daytime Permit, and wants to turn it in, they can.
If you approve of the extension for WSA/Lester we should do that at the September 9, Town
Board Meeting, so I can notify the public as soon as possible. As for the other changes, if you
approve, I would like to give the developer the ok to begin configuring the software, and I can
prepare a formal resolution for the second meeting in September.
Respectfully,
Christina

Re: Update US Golf Open
Date: September 4, 2020
The US Open is scheduled to begin September 14, 2020 at Winged Foot Golf
Club. It would appear that all of the arrangements for the event are
finalized. As the Board is aware, the 2020 US Open will be a dramatically
scaled down event that will have no spectators at the venue.
In terms of municipal services, the Town Police working in conjunction with
the Westchester County and New York State Police will provide security and
modest traffic control in and around the club grounds. Parking, stopping,
and standing prohibitions will only be on the major roads surrounding the
club; Fenimore Road, Griffen Avenue and Old White Plains Road.
The Town Fire Department will have a presence on the grounds of the club
with a single engine and a small group of volunteers. The Town Ambulance
District will be working with Montefiore Hospital for Emergency Medical
Services.
Altogether, the value of our services is estimated at $128,000. Attached is
the draft agreement between the USGA and the Town of Mamaroneck. The
agreement confirms the municipal services the Town will provide and the
amounts to be reimbursed to the Town.

Subject: Anti-Danskammer Municipal Resolution - Tomorrow's Board Meeting
Attachments: ToM Resolution Opposing the Danskammer Power Plant Build Out.docx; Ltr Opposing
Danskammer w BOL signatures FINAL.pdf
Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Completed
Hello,
I hope you are doing well. My name is Caitlyn Carpenter. I am a rising Junior at Mamaroneck High
School and one of the Co-Coordinators of the Sunrise Westchester Hub. Nationally, the Sunrise
Movement is a coalition of youth fighting to rapidly combat the climate crisis. Our hub is currently
working to halt the proposal to build a new Danskammer power-plant in Newburgh, NY.
As part of this campaign, we are working to pass anti-Danskammer municipal resolutions across
Westchester County. Just last night, Larchmont passed a resolution opposing Danskammer and we
are now looking for the Town of Mamaroneck to do the same.
The current Danskammer plant currently runs about 5 percent of the year due to its old infrastructure.
However, the proposed 550 MW plant would run nearly nonstop and extend New York's reliance on
fossil fuels, including fracked gas, for decades. The natural gas used by the new plant will be supplied
by Central Hudson's distribution system -- this gas primarily comes from Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia and is all extracted through fracking.
Additionally, the plant poses a serious threat to the environment of the surrounding area. The current
proposal states the site will store up to 1 million gallons of diesel fuel and 30,000 gallons of aqueous
ammonia on site which would be incredibly dangerous to the area's water quality if a spill were to
occur. To make matters worse, the area is particularly vulnerable to flood and had to be closed down
for two years after Hurricane Sandy.
You can read more about the plant here and see our infographic here.
Governor Cuomo holds the power to either deny or approve the plant's proposal, so it is crucial that
we show him that New Yorkers don't want a new Danskammer. Already 24 municipalities across New
York State have passed municipal resolutions against the plant, five of which are in Westchester.
These include Larchmont, Hastings-on-Hudson, Peekskill, Mount Vernon, and New Castle.
Additionally, over 150 elected officials from across New York State have signed a letter to Governor
Cuomo in opposition to the plant. This includes the entire Westchester County Board of Legislators.
Attached to this email is a copy of the resolution Larchmont passed tailored to fit the Town of
Mamaroneck as well as a copy of the letter signed by the Westchester Board of Legislators.
Page 25 of 81
It is imperative that the Town of Mamaroneck join the countless other municipalities, elected officials,
and residents from across New York State to show Governor Cuomo that his constituents want a
livable future, not another dirty power plant.
We would greatly appreciate you considering this resolution be brought to the Town Board at their
board meeting tomorrow, if possible. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the
resolution or if you would like to set up a brief call to discuss more.

DRAFT RESOLUTION (BASED ON VILLAGE OF LARCHMONT PASSED RESOLUTION)
RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK OPPOSING THE
DANSKAMMER, LLC BUILD OUT PROPOSAL
WHEREAS, climate change requires immediate action, we need to stop
incrementally expanding fossil fuel energy generation and fully ramp up
on renewables and we need to make tough choices in the face of
entrenched, narrow, short-term interest; and
WHEREAS, these seemingly small and scattered decisions that extend
fossil fuel dependency are neither small or insignificant, as they
cumulatively add up to the whole system that supports and reinforces the
continuation of our reliance on fossil fuels, and we need to diverge from
this path; and
WHEREAS, Danskammer, LLC is seeking to build a new, baseload
year-round fracked natural gas and diesel-burning power plant in
Newburgh, New York, increasing emissions of methane and carbon
dioxide, and so accelerate climate change; and
WHEREAS, according to Food and Water Watch, "The Danskammer
would be a massive 550 MW fracked gas plant posing significant risks
to the air and water of the local community — and worsening our climate
crisis by burning dirty fossil fuels around the clock"; and
WHEREAS, science research clearly shows the need to transition to
clean, green economy to decelerate climate change and its destabilizing
effects on our ecosystems and communities; and
WHEREAS, the Danskammer, LLC build out proposal is against the
stated goals of our Governor, laid out in the Climate Leadership and
1 of 3
Page 27 of 81
community Protection Act, is wrong for our economy, our health and the
environment; and
WHEREAS, there is no proven need for gas to meet our energy needs.
The 2018 Reliability Needs Assessment of the New York Independent
System Operator (dated October 2018) found no statewide gap in power
generation or transmissions capacity in the next decade, notwithstanding
the impending closure of the Indian Point nuclear power plant; and
WHEREAS, Westchester County is committed to growing the
investment and workforce in clean energy, including a $250 million
grant provided by the state this year to free up existing natural gas
capacity and incentivize more energy efficient measures; and
WHEREAS, The Town of Mamaroneck, New York, as a certified
Climate Smart Community, is committed to continuing its efforts to
combat climate change, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increase
climate resiliency efforts; and
WHEREAS, the Danskammer plant has already flooded once during
Hurricane Sandy and is at risk of flooding again due to sea level rise.
Containments including, but not limited to, aqueous ammonia and diesel
on site stand to pollute the Hudson River if Danskammer's expansion

Re: Opposition to New Danskammer Power Plant
Dear Governor Cuomo,
We,the undersigned Westchester County legislators, urge you to deny Danskammer, LLC the
permits to replace a plant used only a few days each year during times of peak demand with a
new, fully operational fracked gas power plant to be sited adjacent to the existing facility. The
new plant would be a"baseload facility"proposed to operate year round,day in and day out,
resulting in dramatic increases of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. The constituents and
communities we represent have great concerns about the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure
across the Hudson Valley and throughout New York. New York must protect the health and
economic future of our communities and lead the way to meet aggressive renewable energy
goals.
We strongly urge you to oppose this power plant for the following reasons:
1)The project contradicts the values of the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection
Act and your Green New Deal policies. Emissions from greenhouse gases, including carbon and
methane,emitted from Danskammer would further exacerbate the climate crisis. The existing
Danskammer plant,while aging and inefficient, serves to meet peak energy demand and runs
only a few days a year. In contrast, the proposed plant would be a baseload facility, running
nearly all the time. The math here is simple: despite efficiency gains, total emissions will
increase dramatically—tenfold or more.
2) In addition to climate change impacts, emission increases will result in greater amounts of air
pollutants such as particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides which will
exacerbate a multitude of ailments and health risks and increase susceptibility to and severity of
respiratory illnesses such as asthma and COVID-19.
3)The proposed plant threatens our water quality. Up to 1 million gallons of diesel fuel and
30,000 gallons of aqueous ammonia proposed to be stored on-site present a significant threat, if
the plant is sited and a spill were to occur.
4)The existing plant was severely flooded during Hurricane Sandy, resulting in the plant's
closure for 2 years before it went back online in 2014. The plant site remains extremely
vulnerable to severe storm events as well as sea-level rise that is already affecting Hudson
waterfront communities. Anticipated sea level rise on the Hudson River, more frequent severe

Page 30 of 81
precipitation events and more severe storm surge collectively make the Danskammer site a risky
location for energy development.
5) Redevelopment of the Danskammer plant would erode the natural and aesthetic beauty of the
Hudson River Valley, which is a major driver of the region's tourism economy and cherished by
visitors from around the globe, as well as state residents who see the Hudson Valley as an
exemplary place to live, work and play. Of critical importance to New York's long-term
economic future, prominent locations such as this on the Hudson River waterfront should not be
a location for large-scale industrial development.
6) Redevelopment of the Danskammer plant would disproportionately affect nearby
Environmental Justice Areas and impact vulnerable communities. In particular, low-income
neighborhoods and people of color in Beacon,Newburgh, Fishkill, and other surrounding
communities will feel the brunt of air pollution due to their proximity to the plant.
7) More and better jobs can be produced in the renewable energy sector. Construction of a solar
farm or energy storage facility would bring jobs and tax revenue to Newburgh without polluting
our air and water and exacerbating climate change. For communities that have displaced workers
from the fossil-fuel industry, we urge a fair and just transition plan that provides training and
placement for workers in other industries, including the rapidly growing renewable energy
economy.
In conclusion, after careful consideration, we understand that New York State does not need to
repower the Danskammer energy plant site to meet its energy needs. We urge your
administration to deny permits to the plant while continuing its good work leading in the fight
against climate change. We are encouraged by the$250 million Green Energy Grant that was
awarded to Westchester County in 2019 and believe this initiative to be a step in the right
direction that will have positive reverberations throughout our region. We are also inspired by
your work to set specific goals to address climate change in New York and are committed to
continuing our own work to create practical and lasting climate solutions in our communities.
We applaud your announcement of a Green New Deal for New York. But in order to meet the
ambitious targets you have set, you cannot allow the expansion of any new fossil fuel electricity
generating infrastructure. We are calling on you to follow through with your promise to make
New York a leader in combatting climate change and use your authority to stop this polluting
power plant.
Sincerely,

Subject: Local law regarding installment agreements for delinquent taxes
Date: August 21,2020
I attach a revised, proposed law. The attachment does not change the current
proposed law to extend the length of installment agreements for the payment of back
taxes to a maximum of thirty-six months. The revision sets the down payment at 15%of
the delinquent taxes, but allows the taxpayer, at his/her option, to put up a higher
percentage.

Local Law No, -2020
This local law shall be known as the "Increasing the Installment Period and Setting the Minimum
Down Payment for Paying Delinquent Taxes" Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 -Purpose:
Section 1184 of the Real Property Tax Law authorizes a local government to adopt a local
law allowing delinquent taxes to be paid in installments. In 1996, the Town availed itself of that
authority by adding article V to chapter 195 of the Town Code. Section 1184 limited the
installment period to 24 months until September of 2019 when an amendment to that law
extended the maximum installment period to thirty-six months. The purpose of this local law is to
conform the Town code to the state statute. It is hoped that since the additional twelve months
will lower the installment payment, taxpayers who cannot meet a twenty-four month amortization
schedule may now be able to enter into and keep up with installment agreements to pay off their
back taxes.
A second purpose of this law is to establish a minimum down payment for anyone
wanting to enter into an installment agreement. The Town's current law makes the amount of the
down payment discretionary provided it does not exceed the cap on down payments contained in
the state statute. The Town Board finds that a fixed minimum is important because all persons
wishing to enter an installment agreement should be treated the same way.
Section 2-Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 195-15 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by deleting the
number and word "24 months" and substituting the words "thirty-six months" in their place.
Section 23-Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 195-18 A. of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by deleting the
number and word "24 months" and substituting the words "thirty-six months" in their place.
Section 4-Repeal and replacement of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 195-18 C. of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is repealed and the following is
substituted in its place:
C. The required initial down payment shall be fifteen (15%) percent of the eligible delinquent
taxes, however, at the eligible owner's option, the initial down payment can be any percentage
between sixteen (16%) percent and one hundred (100%) percent.

Section 4—Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.

Subject: "Drone law"
Date: July 31, 2020
On March 4, 2020, the Town Board created a new law prohibiting the flying of remotely
controlled aircraft within two miles of the Winged Foot Golf Club prior to and during the 2020
US Open golf tournament. Due to the pandemic, the dates for the tournament were moved from
June to September, rendering the current "anti-drone" law ineffective since the current law does
not prohibit flying drones in September.
The attached proposed law synchronizes the dates of prohibition with the dates of the
tournament. If the Town Board considers this proposed law worthy of public discussion, it may
set a public hearing and after the hearing is closed, decide whether to enact it.

BE IT ENAC I'hD by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 -Purpose:
Prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Winged Foot Golf Club was to host
the 2020 US Open golf championship in June of 2020. For security reasons, the Town Board passed
a local law prohibiting remotely controlled flying aircraft from flying within two miles of the Club
grounds prior to and during the tournament with the exception of such aircraft to be flown by
enterprises, such as television networks, that need to fly drones in connection with their
performance under contracts they have with the Winged Foot Golf Club and/or the United States
Golf Association.
Due to the pandemic, the tournament was pushed back to mid-September 2020. This local
law amends the existing law on remotely controlled flying aircraft by moving the dates of the
prohibition to the ten days in September mentioned below.
Section 2-Amendment of an existing section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 122-8 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is repealed and replaced by the
following:
§122-8 Remotely Controlled Aircraft Prohibited within Certain Air Space during ten particular
days in September of 2020.
A. From September 12, 2020 to September, 21 2020, it shall be unlawful for any person to
operate an unmanned aircraft, or cause an unmanned aircraft to take off, land or fly within two
miles of the perimeter of the property owned by the Winged Foot Holding Corp. or the Winged
Foot Golf Club, Inc. and designated on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as
Section/Blocks/Lots:
3-40-204.1,
3 44 99,
3-45-1.4,
3-45-1.5,
3-45-1.7,
3-46-1.1,
3-46-1.2,
3-47-1../1,
Page 49 of 81
3-47-1 ../2 and
3-47-1.2.
For the purpose of this section, the term "unmanned aircraft" means a device, commonly referred
to as a 'drone', that is designed to navigate in the air without a pilot onboard, or an aircraft that is
operated without intervention by a human within the aircraft.
B. This section shall not apply to those enterprises with whom either the Winged Foot Golf
Club or the United States Golf Association will or have contracted to perform services in
connection with the 2020 US Open golf championship and whose names appear on a certification
given to the Town by either the Winged Foot Golf Club or the United States Golf Association that
is received by the Town Administrator on or before September 11, 2020.
Section 3-Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Section 4-Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.

Memorandum
To: Stephen Altieri, Town Administrator
Town Board Members
From: Tracy Yogman, Town Comptroller
Date: September 3, 2020
Re: 2020 Operating Budget Amendments
The following 2020 operating budget amendments are recommended for approval:
1. Town Administrator: As a result of the pandemic, public access to Town Center
was limited. In order to minimize contact, a front desk has been setup with a
receptionist. Funding for this position can be transferred from contingency.A budget
transfer is recommended below to fund the position through year end.
2. Comptroller: The Comptroller's office has two full-time vacancies that were funded
in the 2020 budget. One of the part-time positions was originally a part-time position.
There were multiple personnel changes in the last year that had to settle before a
revised plan could be made. The two full-time positions will be held open through
year end. Savings from the vacancies can be transferred to the part-time budget line
to fund our part-time employee. A budget transfer is recommended below.
3. Engineering: The Town has approximately 100 capital projects that are in progress.
The 2020 budget included funding for a junior engineer. Although efforts have been
made to fill it, the position remains vacant. A part-time engineering student has been
assisting the Town Engineer. Savings from the full-time position budget line can be
transferred to the part-time budget line to fund the part-time position through year
end. A budget transfer is recommended.
4. Town Clerk: The budget for part time laserfiche scanning clerks requires
additional funding to maintain services and complete projects through year end.
They have successfully archived many years of documents that are now fully
searchable and easily retrieved. A small budget transfer from contingency funds is
recommended below.
Paae 64 of 81
5. Recreation: The ice rink has suffered a major mechanical failure in the rink's chiller.
The chiller is main piece of mechanical equipment in an ice rink and is responsible
to cool down an antifreeze that runs through the piping in the ice flooring enabling
the water to freeze. The chiller was installed during the renovation six years' ago. An
engineer is scheduled to provide an evaluation of the cause of the failure and to make
recommendations on the most cost effective way to proceed.The ice rink is scheduled
to open for rentals in mid-September. In order to accommodate skating, a chiller and
a generator has been rented on a month to month basis. The cost will be offset by
rental revenue but requires a budget amendment from fund balance for two months
rental expense, installation and delivery.
6. Highway: Due to the volume of repairs at the Highway Garage and the temporary
reduction in personnel as a result of various leaves, the part time hours have
increased. In addition, the salary structure for the lead maintenance mechanic has
changed. As a result, savings from overtime and diesel fuel budget lines can be
transferred to offset the additional personnel costs. A budget transfer is recommended
below.

The following 2020 operating budget amendments are recommended:

Re: 2020 Capital Budget Amendments
The 2020 deferred capital projects have been reviewed and the following budget amendments
are recommended:
1. Information Technology—Various 2020 Projects
Four of the 2020 technology projects were completed with remaining funds available
from prior years projects. Three of the system upgrade projects will be bundled into a
system upgrade project in 2021. As a result, budget amendments for these projects are
recommended to reduce their budgets and transfer the appropriation back to their
original fund.
2. Recreation- Ice Rink Office Flooring
Replacement of the flooring in the office at the ice rink was funded in the 2020 capital
budget. This project was combined with the locker room flooring at a savings. As a
result, a budget amendment is recommended to reduce the capital budget and transfer
the appropriation back to the General Fund.
3. Roads, Sidewalk& Curbs
Additional funding is recommended to increase the 2020 paving projects so that four
roads can be completed with the use of remaining funding and the 2020 CHIPS funding.
(Kenmare,Copley,Alden and Harmony Drive)Fund balance is available for this transfer
and a proposed budget transfer is recommended.

Re: Unmet Needs Grant- Nutrition Programs
Date: September 4, 2020
Previously the Town Board has authorized grant contracts with Westchester
County in connection with our senior nutrition programs. Attached is a letter
from Westchester County notifying the Town that we are eligible to receive
an additional $4,977 under the Unmet Needs Grant Program.
Essentially this is the distribution of excess funding under the Nutrition
Program Grants. The distribution formula is based upon the total population
of participants in the programs.

MEMORANDUM
To: Town Board —August 12, 2020
Attached please find a draft resolution required for NYS Retirement Reporting for Elected and
Appointed Officials. At each newly elected term each qualifying Official in the retirement
system is required to prepare a three month log recording their activities, or recertify their
existing log. Recertification of existing logs is acceptable for up to eight years. This year none
of the three officials who are reporting can recertify and have therefore, prepared new three-
month logs.
I am awaiting one three-month log, so in the mean time I have prepared a template resolution
with the final to be sent early next week.
