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 Connie Green O’Donnell, Deputy Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney CALL TO ORDER - WORK SESSION Additionally Present: Tracy Yogman Town Comptroller and Lindsey Luft Assistant to the Town Administrator On motion of Councilwoman Fiddelman, seconded by Councilwoman Elkind Eney, the Work Session was unanimously opened at 5:00 p.m. Presentation – Clean Energy Communities/ NYStretch Code Presenter: Michael DeWein Mr. DeWein explained that he is contracted by NYSERDA (NYS Energy, Research and Development Agency) as a specialist for the NYStretch Code. Nancy introduced Mr. DeWein, and briefed the Town Board on these programs and the Town’s current status within them. The New York State Climate Smart Community Program website describes the program as follows: The Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Certification program is organized around the 10 CSC pledge elements. See the Certification Framework page for more details about each pledge element (PE). Your local government can earn points for taking action across several areas related to climate change:  Forming teams and setting goals (PE 1 & 2)  Energy use (PE 3 & 4)  Solid waste management (PE 5)  Land-use policies (PE 6)  Enhancing community resilience (PE 7)  Supporting a green economy (PE 8)  Public engagement and commitment to an evolving process (PE 9 & 10) Mr. De Wein present the NYStretch program to the Town Board as part of the overall discussion of the Town’s participation as a Climate Smart Community (CSC). 1 April 21, 2021 The New York State NYStretch Program website describes the program as follows: NYSERDA developed NYStretch as a statewide model code for New York jurisdictions to use to meet their energy and climate goals by accelerating the savings obtained through their local building energy codes. For jurisdictions that adopt it, NYStretch will provide savings of roughly 11% over the 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (2020 ECCCNYS) when that energy code is released by New York State Department of State. NYStretch is a stretch code that:  Is readily adoptable with minimal changes by local governments  Is in enforceable language  Is coordinated with the New York State Uniform and Energy Codes  Is about one cycle ahead of the next New York State Energy Code in its requirements  Lowers energy use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with new and existing buildings  Is cost-effective and regionally appropriate Supervisor Seligson noted that she met yesterday with Carla Castilla of the Clean Energy Community program to analyze the Town’s status with respect to the point system. Supervisor Seligson will share that spreadsheet with the Town Board, as soon as it is finalized. Mr. DeWEin explained that adopting the NYStretch code is a heavily weighted program within the CEC Program, and accumulates the second largest number of incentive points. Mr. DeWein encouraged the Town to involve the Town’s Building Inspector in these discussions, adding that he would be happy to meet with Mr. Polcari. Additionally, Mr. DeWein noted that from his discussions with Building Inspectors, this is not a difficult program to implement. Other Communities who have adopted the NYStretch Code are New Rochelle, Bedford, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings and Beacon, to name a few. In order to receive full credit the Town must adopted the NYSretch Code in its entirety including residential and Commercial construction. Supervisor Seligson reminded the Town Board of the recently enacted NYS Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which targets for 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2040 and economy- wide, net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, adding that the Town needs to keep this in mind moving forward. The Town Board will continue this discussion after it receives additional information. Presentation – 2020 Financial Audit by O’Connor Davies Presenter: Alan Kassay of O’Connor Davies Mr. Kassay presented a PowerPoint of the Town’s 2020 Financial Audit. Mr. Kassay noted the excellent Town Management discussion on pages 4-12. Mr. Kassay presented key financial items within the Audit. Of note are the substantial decreases in the Recreation programing and the parking permit revenues, but they are offset by substantial reductions in expenses. Supervisor Seligson noted that the Town Comptroller has been keeping the Town Board well apprised throughout this year; therefore, nothing in this audit is a surprise. In closing, Mr. Kassay described the Town as being in an excellent financial position. Review – 2021 Financial Update The Town Board reviewed the Fiscal Year Q1 2021 Budget report issued by the Town Comptroller, including schedules for 2021 Summary of all funds and projected fund balances. Supervisor Seligson noted that at the recent meeting of the Supervisor’s, they spoke of the new State Law on sales tax, noting that everyone feels it is very unfair. Tracy Yogman stated that the Town has applied for funding from Congressman Bowman, and noted that the Town’s application for funding for the Senior Center is being viewed favorably. Ms. Yogman is working on additional letters of support. Review – AKRF Proposal to Review New Residential Construction The Town Board reviewed an updated proposal from AKRF. The Town Board had two additional questions; one to clarify the role of MUDD and two, to clarify that, based on the task(s), AKRF would utilize the lowest hourly billable employee (based on the hourly rate schedule provided by AKRF). The approval of the proposal was added to the regular agenda. 2 April 21, 2021 Discussion – Proposed Moratorium on Demolition in Residential Districts Additionally, the Town Board received correspondence from the Chair of the Planning Board, Ralph Engel. Mr. Engel writes that “the proposed moratorium permits a person to demolish 50% of a building and then, since it would not be new construction, "expand" the remaining 50% into pretty much what was planned anyway, which may be far larger than what is there now, without violating the moratorium and without having to go through residential site plan review.” The Town discussed this and determined to move forward with the moratorium as written. Additionally, Mr. Maker noted discussed the proposal with the Building Inspector Rich Polcari, who felt that the 50 % figure would allow for renovations such as bathrooms or small additions. Councilwoman Katz would like to see a clause with an exemption for a fire or natural disaster. Additionally, the Town Board stated that what this moratorium addresses is the total teardown scenario. ADDED ITEM Amendment to the Neighbor Notification within the Mechanical Rock removal Law It was brought to the Town’s attention that a small amendment should be made to this law. Although implied, it is not explicitly stated, that the adjacent homeowner be given a copy of the structural survey completed prior to the start of any mechanical rock removal. Mr. Maker will draft an amendment to address this for the next Town Board meeting. Discussion – LMC Media In a memo from Councilwoman Katz items for discussion were stated as; 1) LMC Proposed Coverage 2) Board of Control Budget 3) The CATV Agreement. The Town Board received the LMC Media Community Coverage Proposal 2021, the Board of Control Budget, and the CATV Sharing Agreement. It was noted, that without a consistent revenue source, or expandable funding source, it is unclear if LMC will be able to provide services without a substantial input from the three municipalities. It was suggested that the three municipalities hold a summit to discuss this fundamental issue. Councilwoman Katz provided a fuller explanation and review of the existing two revenue sources, PEG funding and franchise fees. The PEG funds can only be utilized for capital expenses that benefit education and government, and not for the operating budget. The 2021 Budget reflects the franchise fees trending down; in 2019 it was $883,000, and projected to be $826,000 in 2021. The Village of Larchmont has requested that they be issued $125,000 of PEG monies, and it is unclear as to whether this request needs approval from the Board of Control, and or whether it is allowable based on the CATV Agreement. Mr. Maker was asked to review the agreement and advise the Town Board as to whether this is allowable within the CATV Agreement. The Village of Larchmont Manager, has suggested that Mr. Maker and Jim Staudt, the Village of Larchmont Attorney, meet to discuss this issue. Supervisor Seligson stated that moving forward the issues to address are 1) Village of Larchmont’s request for use of PEG funds 2) Renovations to the Town Center 3) municipal funds needed for LMC to remain financially stable, or whether LMC should become self-sustaining. The Town Board also reviewed the scheduling coverage and noted the amount of sports coverage that is provided without revenue. Councilwoman Katz requested that the Town Board review the coverage schedule and give an opinion. The Town Board will review this again after Mr. Maker reviews the CATV Agreement, and any other pertinent documents, in time for the next Board of Control meeting on June 15. Discussion – Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act The Town Board previously asked Mr. Maker to give the Town Board a primer on the new legislation. Mr. Maker presented some of the key elements to the new legislation 1) opting out entirely (must be done by December 31, 2021) 2) regulating must not be unreasonable or impractical as to hinder ability to do business 3) not near schools 4) no door-to-door/peddling 5) can regulate use in public buildings 6) can regulate employees 7) law allows for growing at home – but can regulate screening from neighbors 8) Town can opt out of dispensary and or lounges. What is important to determine now is whether the Town wishes to opt out. The Office of Cannabis Management is still determining regulations, but what is known, is that if municipalities opt out they will not be eligible to receive sales tax revenue. It is also possible, if a municipality does not opt out, but does not allow for stores, whether they will be eligible for sales tax revenue. The Town would like to engage the public as soon as possible. A survey may be an important way for the public to engage without public appearances. The Town will continue to discuss public engagement and questions for a survey. 3 April 21, 2021 Consultant Services – Two Intersections within Washington Square This item was moved to the regular agenda Review and Discuss - Winged Foot Golf Club Sewer Rent Appeal This item was moved to the regular agenda EXECUTIVE SESSION On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilwoman Katz, the Board unanimously agreed to enter into an Executive Session to discuss potential sale of land, 151 Rockland Avenue.

Christopher Hill of 20 Stoneyside Drive noted his email submission and documentation. Mr. Hill stated that with respect to the PEG funding discussion, in 2008 Congress validated that the purpose for which the Village of Larchmont is requesting PEG funds is not allowable. Supervisor Seligson asked Mr. Hill what his credentials were for his knowledge of this, and Mr. Hill responded that he is a reader of law journals. Mr. Hill stated that there is a small group forming from Larchmont Gardens who have great concerns about current teardowns and sub divisions, and are calling for a moratorium on building construction. Currently, there is a sub division on Greystone Road that is before the Planning Board. Mr. Hill stated that he believes the current Code is designed to segregate submissions to the Zoning Board and the Planning Board, and this creates a dangerous situation. Supervisor Seligson explained that the Town discussed a moratorium during worksession and plans to adopt it this evening. Mr. Hill asked that the Town Board consider adding sub divisions to the moratorium. Brian Lobel submitted correspondence to the Town and was read aloud by Ms. Luft as follows: The town board has previously said it is the board for all of the town. True, but this ignores the fact that for residents of Larchmont Village and Mamaroneck Village their village boards control most of their local services and taxes but for residents of the unincorporated area the town board controls most of their local services and taxes. The board should address this important difference. For tonight, two questions: 1. Is the board still considering a Larchmont-Mamaroneck advisory committee for a town garbage district? If yes, please describe what is currently under consideration? 2. Why isn't the board considering and creating advisory committees for the various the services it provides only/primarily for the unincorporated area and paid for by residents of the unincorporated area of the town -- e.g. public safety, infrastructure and public works, technology and communications? Supervisor Seligson responded to Mr. Lobel, stating that the Town Board will be meeting with the Village of Larchmont Board of Trustees to further discuss the Advisory Committee. Additionally, the Town has an Advisory Board for the Ambulance District. Additionally, the Recreation Commission, is comprised of all three municipalities, and the Larchmont Library Board is comprised of Village of Larchmont residents and unincorporated Town residents.
