Greetings from the Supervisor
Dear Residents:
As we prepare to enter a new millennium, the Town Board and I can look back and reflect on the
accomplishments and goals that the Town of Mamaroneck has achieved in 1998. As you read through
this Annual Report, you will find each department reporting on their latest projects and newest statistics.
While the Board and I set the policies and goals, it is the employees who help us achieve them. The Town
staff is to be commended for their dedication and hard work .
One of the main purposes of an Annual Report is to report on the Town's finances. As you can see from
the pages included from the Independent Auditor's report, the Town is in excellent financial shape. The
Town continues to hold a AA1 bond rating from Moody's Investors Service. This rating is held by only
1% of local governments in New York State. Even with tax certiorari challenges, the Town continues its
sound fiscal managment practices which we will carry over into the 21s` century. The tax rate increase for
Town residents for 1999 is actually 0%!
While we were waiting for the Auditor's reports for 1998, I resigned as Town Supervisor to become
Commissioner of Consumer Protection for Westchester County. The Deputy Supervisor, Paul Ryan ,
became Supervisor in January 1999 to complete my unfinished term. While I enjoy the challenge of my
position with the County, I miss the Town offices and will always have a special place in my heart for my
community and its residents.

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 River 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.

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 an
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 to major highways, airports, and Metro North train service,
has become a prime suburban residential community with easy access to Manhattan.

AMBULANCE DISTRICT
Ambulance District Administrator Ed McCormack
The Town Of Mamaroneck Ambulance District was established in July 1994 by the Town and the Villages of
Larchmont and Mamaroneck to coordinate ambulance services for the tri-municipal district. Basic Life Support
Services are provided by volunteers of the Larchmont/Town of Mamaroneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps(VAC),
and the Village of Mamaroneck Emergency Medical Services(EMS). Part-time paid paramedics provide
advanced life support care in coordination with the volunteer corps.
r
Every 911 call for emergency medical assistance is received by the local Police Department which assigns a Police
Officer to respond, and immediately alerts the respective Ambulance Corps. The ambulance responds with a paid
certified Paramedic and volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians who are able to provide lifesaving medical
care at the scene. Training for all paramedics and EMT's is ongoing and they must recertify every 3 years.
During 1998,the Ambulance District,VAC and EMS participated in cooperative training programs for Advanced
Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Hazardous Materials Awareness, and Infectious Disease.
Efforts to work collaboratively on.equipment purchasing and quality improvement programs are in progress. The
ability to database ambulance activity at VAC became operational and a similar network is being placed online at
EMS. Volunteers are always welcome at VAC or EMS and many training programs are provided without cost to
interested persons. Contact Ed McCormack at 381-7838 for further information.
Number of calls responded to: 2241
Number of Persons transported to Hospital: 1657
(Sound Shore Medical Center,United Hospital
and other hospitals)

RECREATION
Recreation Superintendent William Zimmermann
Assistant Superintendent Jill Fisher
Ice Rink Manager Rob Lunde
The Recreation Department administers the Town's various recreation programs/services and is responsible for its
facilities which include Hommocks Park Ice Rink and the Swimming Pool Complex. A wide variety of leisure
activities are available year round to residents,particularly children. During the summer,this department operates
day camp programs including 2. pre-school camps, 1 full day playground, a music camp, as well as tennis and late
summer soccer camps. In addition to the ice rink and swimming pool complex,there are tennis courts and a
playground at Memorial (Myrtle)Park which is supervised by the recreation department.
This department issues tennis permits for courts at Memorial(Myrtle)Park and Central School and offers tennis
lessons for children and adults during the year. Ice skating and swimming lessons are also offered to children and
adults and there is a special program for toddlers and babies.
In 1998, the Town expanded the Hommocks Park Ice Rink by adding 1,800 square feet to accommodate two
new team locker rooms and a remodeled zamboni/maintenance garage. This extension was dedicated in
October with the newly purchased natural gas-powered Zamboni ice resurfacing machine. In December,
the Ice Rink main arena also installed an attractive,low emissivity ceiling which has brightened the
building,and has provided significant energy savings.
Presently under contract is the refurbishment of the Carpino-Steffens(Hommocks)Athletic Fields. These athletic
fields are scheduled to open in the later part of fall 1999. This project is being conducted in cooperation with the
Mamaroneck School District.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Supervisor and Members of the 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, 1998, and have issued our report thereon
dated March 24, 1999. 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.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town of Mamaroneck, New
York's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance
with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our
tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town of Mamaroneck, New York's
internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to
provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the
internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the
internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material
weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts
that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not
be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting
and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we noted other
matters involving the internal control over financial reporting that we have reported to
management in a separate document.
This report is intended for the information of management and federal awarding agencies and
pass-through entities. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is
not limited.
