MEMO

FROM: Supervisor Nancy Seligson
RE: Sanitation
DATE: December 4, 2020
As you know,the Larchmont Mamaroneck Joint Garbage Commission (LMJGC) met yesterday, as we
discussed in the Town Board meeting Wednesday night.The question of expanding the district and a
proposed budget plan for 2021 need to be discussed and decided upon as a Town Board. In connection
with the expansion of the District, you may recall that the Village was interested in having input on the
policies for waste/recycling collection. Therefore, the other piece to the discussion is identifying how an
"advisory committee" to the expanded district would work. We also have to decide about whether to
amend the Town Sanitation Law regarding curbside pickup of garbage.
The allocation for garbage tonnage for YTD 2020 is 55%Town and 45%Village.The Village of Larchmont
wanted to change the allocation to 60%/40% based on assessment. We tentatively agreed to
57.5%/42.5%. Steve will provide a memo with the financial impacts of how the proposed allocation
affects the 2021 budget and review the financial implications of the expansion of the district too.
These decisions affect the 2021 Town Budget that needs to be adopted December 16th. We won't have
enough time to incorporate the changes into the budget if we wait until December 14, our next meeting
date. I suggest we meet Tuesday, December 8 or Wednesday, December 9 at 6:00 pm to address these
issues.
Please let me know which date you prefer.
Thank you.

Subject: Packet For this Evening's Meeting- Dec. 9, 2020
Members of the Board:
Since I was in a bit of a hurry to make certain you all received the basic information regarding the items in the packet last
evening, I am concerned that there was not enough of an explanation of the items. So below is further information on
the agenda packet.
1. Sanitation Commission Discussion
a. 2021 Commission Budget Apportionment-There is a memorandum on this item.
b. Extension of the Garbage District- I distributed the spreadsheet that was provided at the last Town
Board work session that presents the tax rate and property tax information for multiple scenarios for a :
Town Only Sanitation Department and an extended Garbage District in the Village of Larchmont for both
curbside collection and continuing backdoor collection
c. Curbside Garbage Collection- The discussion for tonight will be to determine if there is a final decision
regarding the change in service. One of the components of the prior discussions has been exemptions
for Seniors and handicapped residents. We have already addressed the senior citizen
exemption. Regarding the handicapped, it would appear that most communities with curbside
collection do not have a specific exemption for the handicapped. However where there are such
exemptions the criteria appears to be based in large part on some type of certification that there is no
one else living in the home that is capable of setting out garbage and recycling at the curb. So we can
discuss whether this would be acceptable to the Board. Also, the Commission has discussed the idea
that rather than make the exemptions part of the law on curbside garbage, that they be administrative
policies of the Commission/District. This provides more flexibility should there need to be changes in
the future.
2. Media Center-Town Center
I have begun the processing of submitting documents to the New York State Dormitory Authority for the SAM
Grant for LMCTV. One of the requirements is that the Town conduct a SEQR review for the project. In the
packet, is a notice for the Town Board to serve as the lead agency for this project. The Town Board appears to
be the logical choice since the project will take place in the Town Center Building. Also, the Town government
will be coordinating the construction project. In addition the project should be classified as a Type 2 Action since
it is a renovation/alteration of an existing interior space. If this is acceptable,the documents will be submitted
to the State.
3. 2021 Budget-The document in the packet is the slide from the 2021 Preliminary Budget Presentation regarding
the distribution of the savings from the reduction in Health Insurance Premiums. It was not clear to Tracy and I
whether this had been approved by the Town Board. We wanted to have your review this one last time as we
are preparing the final version of the Town Budget for adoption next week.
Again, my apologies for the disjointed packet distribution. See you all this evening.

Memorandum
To: Supervisor and Town Board
Re: Sanitation Commission
Date: December 8, 2020
The agenda for Wednesday evening includes the discussion of the components relating
changes with regard to the Sanitation Commission:
• 2021 Commission Budget Apportionment
• Projected Distribution of Surplus to the Town and Village
Extension of the Garbage District
• Curbside Garbage Collection
This memorandum focusses on the Budget Apportionment and distribution of surplus.
Regarding the apportionment of the 2021 Commission budget, this was discussed at the
last Commission meeting. Through the end of November of this year the apportionment of
tonnage of solid waste collected was 45% Village of Larchmont and 55% Town of
Mamaroneck. This slightly different then the apportionment for the 2020 Commission
budget which was 47%Village and 53%Town. The Village as you know prefers to apportion
the budget 40% Village and 60% Town. The Town at the Commission meeting rejected this
alternative.
As a compromise, an apportionment formula of 42.5% Village and 57.5% Town was
discussed. If you consider that to date the Town accounts for 55% of the total solid waste
collected, when you add in the total tonnage of all materials collected by the Commission
including recycling materials and organics, a 57.5% apportionment is very close if not an
actual percentage. Assuming a net Commission Budget of $3,498,333 (Curbside Collection
Budget). The apportionment would be:
Village of Larchmont $1,486,792
Town of Mamaroneck $2,011,541
The Town share is approximately $58,000 higher than currently appropriated in the 2021
Preliminary Town Budget however; the shortfall can be financed in 2021 with the
distribution of surplus from the Commission to the Town.
With respect to the projected distribution of surplus from the Commission, attached is a
spread sheet to explain the mechanics of the distribution.
❖ Had the Village paid its original apportionment of the 2020 Budget the surplus would
be $664,584. The shortfall is $240,167.
❖ The actual projected cash surplus on December 31, 2020 is $424,417.
❖ Based upon a surplus of $664,584, the Town's share at 53% Is $352,230 and the
Village's share at 47% would be $312,355.
•:• The Village's share of$312,355 less the revenue shortfall of$240,167 is $72,188. The
Town's share will be $352,230.
The lower portion of the spreadsheet is a cash flow projection for 2021. There are cash flow
concerns for both the Commission and the Town with respect to the 2021 Commission
Budget.
➢ The Commission's cash balances are short by$240,167
> The Town's tax collection does not begin until April 2021
➢ The Village funds the Commission June—December, 7 payments.
y The Town funds the Commission January-December- 12 payments
Because of the cash flow issues, the proposal is to distribute the surplus from the
Commission in May to the Village of Larchmont and June to the Town of Mamaroneck.
based on available cash.
➢ This will insure sufficient cash for the Commission's operations and allow for any
unexpected events.
The two cash flow scenarios, Plan A and Plan B consider the cash needs of the Commission
during the first six months of the year when cash flow can be an issue due to expenses
incurred. The Comptroller and I prefer Plan B, which provides for 12 equal payments. This is
preferable due to our own cash flow issues particularly during the pandemic when revenues
are expected to be less than expected particularly at the beginning of the year. If this is
acceptable to the Town Board,then it would be proposed to the Village.
