GREETINGS FROM THE SUPERVISOR 091P, Dear Residents: 4 4 It* 404444010/Mot I am happy to present our 2001 Annual Report. 7 lit* As you read through the report you will find that each department has reported on its latest projects and newest statistics. While the Town Council sets the policies and goals for our government, it is the employees who help to accomplish them. One of the main purposes of an Annual Report is to inform our residents on the Town's finances. As you will see from the pages included from the Independent Auditor's Report, the Town is in very good financial condition. The Town continues to hold an AA1 bond rating from Moody's Investor's Service. This rating is held by only 1% of governments in New York State. We continue to focus on preserving the suburban character of our Town, through controlled development, reduction of I-95 noise and enhancing our environment. We could not do this without the dedication of our staff and the generosity of the members of our volunteer Boards and Commissions. Sincerely, 1 c&4111P' Valerie Moore O'Keeffe Supervisor 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS The 2001 Mamaroneck Annual Report covers the operation of the Town Government during Fiscal Year 2001 (January 1st through December 31st) Administration 6 Administrative Highlights of 2001 11 Ambulance District 26 Building and Plumbing Department 21 Capital Projects Fund 48 Combined Balance Sheets 38 Community Services Department 27 Comptroller 17 Conservation 20 Fire District 22 General Fund Comparative Statement 46 Highway and Engineering Departments 18 History of Mamaroneck 4 Independent Auditor's Report - 2001 36 Legislative Highlights of 2001 9 Library 34 Local Law Summaries 9 Map 3 Organization Chart 8 Police Department 24 Recreation Department 29 Receiver of Taxes 17 Sanitation 34 Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Charges 42 Supervisor's Letter 1 Table of Organization 8 Town Administrator 7 Town Assessor 15 Town Attorney 13 Town Board 6 Town Center 5 Town Clerk 14 Town Court 12 Town Telephone Numbers 35 Volunteer Boards and Committees 32 Water 34 2 THE TOWN T he Town of Mamaroneck includes the including police, fire, and sanitation to resi- entire Village of Larchmont, the dents of the Unincorporated Area.The Town Unincorporated Area, and that part of the elects its own officials, adopts its own laws, Village of Mamaroneck west of the and manages its own finances.

STENGEL DOMENICK CONSOLO SUSAN L. FRIEND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 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, 2001 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 opin- ion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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 mis- statement. 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 gen- eral fixed assets required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America is not included in the general purpose financial statements. In our opinion, except for the effect 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, 2001 and the results of its operations and cash flows of its com- ponent unit for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 28, 2002 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. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit. ONE BARKER AVENUE • WHITE PLAINS, NEW YoRK 10601-1503 • (914) 421-5600 • FAX (914) 421-5099 36 BKSD,Go 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 finan- cial 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 gen- eral purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in ail material respects in rela- tion to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
