Please take a few moments to 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. A major purpose of an Annual Report is to inform our residents on the Town's finances. As you will see, the Town continues to be in good financial condition. Despite the uncertain economic environment, the Town has maintained its AAA Bond Rating. This is the highest rating granted to a local government for municipal bonds. This past year has witnessed a significant increase in your Town property taxes because of increases in State mandates in health care and pension benefits. This is in addition to the skyrocketing costs of liability insurance for municipalities throughout the State. We, therefore, are watching our 2004 Budget very carefully. The above expenses are beyond our control and the underlying policies which have caused these budgetary problems remained to be resolved at the State level. We thank our staff for their professionalism and dedication in delivering such a high level of service to our residents. We also wish to thank our volunteer Boards and Commissions for their generosity in sharing their talents for the benefit of our Town. Sincerely, Al i // 1 I V Valerie Moore O'Keeffe Supervisor 1 T TABLE OF CONTENTS The 2003 Mamaroneck Annual Report covers the operation of the Town Government during Fiscal Year 2003 (January 1st through December 31st).
