GREETINGS FROM THE SUPERVISOR
Dear Residents:
I am delighted to introduce our 1997 Annual Report for the Town of Mamaroneck. It is
not an easy task to capture the essence of all that occurs in Town Government. It is even
more challenging to maintain a sound fiscal status, sustain and improve aging infra-
structure, continue the efficient delivery of essential services and promote enhanced
recreational activities for all our residents. We meet these challenges through the efforts
of a dedicated and professional staff.
This summary provides a glimpse into the operations of departments within Town
Government and the highlights of legislative and policy determinations of the Town
Board. From managing storms to building pools; from streamlining an$18 million dollar
budget to enacting zoning legislation, your Town Government could not function without
the dedicated work of our volunteers and the continuing input of our citizens.
As we move forward and face the challenges before us, we are committed to improving
the quality of life which is so endearing and essential to all of us.
With warm regards,
, H
Elaine Price
Supervisor

THE TOWN
The Town of Mamaroneck consists of the Unincorporated Area,the Village of Larchmont and the part of the
Village of Mamaroneck lying west of the Mamaroneck iver or that part that is not Rye Neck. Though both
incorporated villages are self-governing,the unincorporated area and the villages constitute the Town as a political
and governmental subdivision of the State. The Town provides certain services to the Villages of Larchmont and
Mamaroneck such as recreation, property assessment services and election supervision. To residents of the
unincorporated area however„the Town provides direct municipal services including police,fire,and sanitation.
The Town elects its own officials, adopts its own laws, and manages its own finances. This report pertains only to
the Unincorporated Town,which will be referred to as the Town in the following pages.
According to the last census in 1990,there were approximately 11,200 residents in the Unincorporated Town,
6,100 in Larchmont and 10,200 in the Town affiliated portion of Mamaroneck Village. The total area of the
Unincorporated Town is 5.17 square miles;the entire Town is 8.58 square miles.

THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK

TOWN HISTORY1
The recorded history of the Town of Mamaroneck begins with the purchase in 1661 by a London merchant,John
Richbell, of three necks of land along the shore of the Long Island Sound from the Siwanoy Indians. Richbell
bought this land for a little more than the price of Manhattan Island and his deed was recognized by the Dutch
government and then by England in 1668. By 1698,there were 77 people living in the Town,one of the oldest
settlements in Westchester. The three necks are now Orienta Point in the Village of Mamaroneck,Larchmont
Manor in the Village of Larchmont, and Davenport Neck in New Rochelle.
The Mamaroneck River,the Town's eastern boundary,may have been the inspiration for the community's name.
Various meanings have been ascribed to the Indian term,Mamaroneck;the most popular being"the place where
the fresh water falls into the salt."More recent historical research indicates that the name meant"gathering
place."2
In 1697,Richbell's widow,Ann,held the first annual Town meeting in her home where Samuel Palmer was
elected the first Town Supervisor. Samuel Palmer subsequently purchased the original `middle neck' (Larchmont
Manor area)from the Richbell family. When he died in 1716,he also owned all of present day Village of
Larchmont and a large section of the unincorporated area of the Town. This land was deeded to his sons.
The present boundaries of the Town were set in 1787. On March 7, 1788, Mamaroneck was created a town by act
of the New York State Legislature which sub-divided all counties into towns with powers and functions
determined by State law. Because the early town governments lacked the power to provide local municipal
services,villages were incorporated to provide water,gas, sewers, roads, lighting, police and fire protection. The
Village of Larchmont was incorporated in 1891; the Village of Mamaroneck followed in 1895.
Those who lived here in the 18th and 19th centuries made their living at farming,fishing, lumbering and milling.
When manufacturing came to the Town in the 19th century,most of it was located as it is today, in the
Mamaroneck Village section. Larchmont Village and the Unincorporated Town were and are largely residential.
The railroad came in 1848 and by the turn of the century,the area was a popular summer resort. The greatest
spurt in development in the unincorporated area occurred between 1930 and 1940 when the population grew from
664 residents to 8,468.
After World War II,the suburbs continued to grow and Boston Post Road was inadequate to handle the increased
commercial traffic. During the 1950's the Town sold part of Larchmont Gardens Lake and the surrounding park to
the Thruway Authority so that the New England Thruway could be built.Originally called the Pelham-Port Chester
Highway,the New England Thruway carved a path through the unincorporated area and opened in 1958.
Today,the Town of Mamaroneck,with its easy access tomajor highways, airports, and Metro North train service,
has become a prime suburban residential community to raise one's family while having easy access to Manhattan.

of the first Town meeting(Mamaroneck Town: A History of the Gathering Place)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT BRUCE L.BLASNIK
SUSAN L.FRIEND
To the Honorable Supervisor and Town Board of
the Town of Mamaroneck, New York:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Town of Mamaroneck, New York
as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997 as listed in the accompanying table of
contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Town's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Town does not maintain a complete record of its general fixed assets and, accordingly, a
statement of general fixed assets required by generally accepted accounting principles is not
included in the general purpose financial statements.
In our opinion, except for the effect on the financial statements of the omission described in the
preceding paragraph, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Town of Mamaroneck, New York at December
31, 1997 and the results of its operations and cash flows of its component unit for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 9,
1998 on our consideration of the Town of Mamaroneck, New York's internal control over financial
reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and
grants.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying financial information listed as combining and
individual fund financial statements and schedules in the table of contents is presented for
purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the general purpose financial
statements of the Town of Mamaroneck, New York. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole.
