Added Item
Grant Agreement – Pharmaceutical Take Back Days
Supervisor Seligson asked the Town Board if they had questions regarding this grant agreement. Councilwoman
Elkind Eney asked for some clarification on the funding.
Review of 2015 Revised Capital Project Plan
At the previous Town Board Meeting, the Town Board adopted the 2015 Capital Project list, but upon further
review there have been changes to the schedule. The Town Board reviewed these changes, specifically, the
Storm Water Drainage Improvements and the Fire District Apparatus. The Town Board also reviewed the entire
schedule. Additionally, Mr. Altieri advised the Town Board that the Hommocks Apartments roadway will be
paved, and the Town will be reimbursed by the Housing Authority.
Columbia University Capstone Study – Zero Waste Management
The Town Board reviewed the study and discussed various options that might be utilized by the Town.
Supervisor Seligson asked the Board to think about what the Town could do to make some of these changes,
adding there are many steps the Town could take to work towards implementing some of these ideas.
Supervisor Seligson feels strongly about working with some of these ideas and would like the Board Members
to take this report seriously. As a group the Board felt the textile plan was the most workable initially. The
Board also discussed changes to sanitation, specifically pay-as-you-throw, changes in frequency, and single man
pick-up. Supervisor Seligson thinks the food diversion concept is something worth educating the public about.
The Board would like to hold community forums similar to those held by the Sustainability Collaborative, noting
that the key to any of these changes is community outreach and support. Supervisor Seligson asked the Board
Members to reach out to the residents and get public feedback on these concepts.
Review Town Parking Fees
The Town Board reviewed a fee schedule of other communities, prepared by the Town Clerk, as well as
information on fees from Councilwoman Katz. The Town Board revisited their plan of bringing the Town fees
more in line with other communities, as well as bringing the senior citizens’ fees more in line with regular fees.
The Board agreed to raise the fees overall fees by $25.00, the meter fee by $10.00 and the senior rate by $50.00.
These rates will be adopted this evening at the regular meeting.

Update – Green Code Project
Supervisor Seligson stated that she and Andrea Grenadier met with Jeff LaJava, the Pace University Professor
working on the grant to green the Town Code. She received from him a storm water manual created for the City
of Newburgh (separate from this grant) that will be helpful for the Town. As part of the grant, Mr. LaJava would
like to create two documents, one for use by the Land Use Boards that will help explain what greening the code
is about, and a second document with the legal aspects of greening the code. Supervisor Seligson would like to
feed the Board small sections at a time of the Newburgh guidelines for their review. Supervisor Seligson also
noted that the time line for this grant is for completion by the end of 2015.
Larchmont Public Library
Supervisor Seligson stated that she and Mr. Altieri met with Village of Larchmont Mayor, Anne McAndrews,
Library Director, Laura Eckley and Library Board Chair, Pamela Dubitsky. They met to discuss the Library budget.
Supervisor Seligson stated that the Town did not have issues with the 2015/2016 operating budget, but is
concerned with the management of surplus and their capital projects going forward, specifically, what level of
expectation is acceptable. The Town will approve the Library 2015/2016 Budget during the regulars meeting
this evening.

SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT
Elections were held in the Village of Larchmont March 18. Congratulations to Lorraine Walsh and John Komar
who were re-elected to serve as Village Trustees and Jerry Bernstein who was re-elected as Village Justice.
Thank you for your service to the community. Spring is starting to creep into this long winter and we’ve had
many community events take place. We had the Senior Citizens St. Patrick’s Day luncheon at the senior center
and the Soundshore St. Patrick’s Day parade in the Village of Mamaroneck this past Sunday. The Village of
Larchmont held a Green Steps Expo at Larchmont Temple this past Sunday with environmental speakers,
vendors and information. The Town’s Sustainability Collaborative had a table there. The Expo was well
th
attended and successful. The Village of Larchmont will celebrate their 125 Anniversary this year and held a
logo contest. Congratulations and thank you to Sue Girardi for winning the logo design contest. The Town held
its first running race, The Bunny Hop, last Sunday. There was a 1 mile kids run and a 5K adult run. The race
began and finished in Memorial Park. We had over 180 runners. Thank you to Jill Fisher and Joanne Aqualino
and the rest of the Town’s recreation Dept. for making the Bunny Hop a great success and fun in the frigid cold
of that morning. The Town’s Sustainability Committee met last night and had a guest speaker about energy.
Mike Gordon, co-chair of Sustainable Westchester discussed Community Choice Aggregation, an option that
2
March 25, 2015
might help residents and businesses lower their energy costs. We also discussed microgrids, creating backup
energy sources for specific areas. I spoke at a LWV breakfast with Mayor McAndrews and Rosenblum about
communications in today’s municipal world. It’s not easy to reach our residents. We all need fulltime outreach
employees. Finally, the snow seems to be finally receding. But it is revealing a good deal of litter and escaped
recyclable material. Please take the initiative to pick up the litter around your house, yard and street. The
Sanitation employees cannot pick up individual pieces of litter. We need you to do that.
Thank you.

Local Law No. 5 - 2015
This local law shall be known as the “Notification of Demolition” law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 – Purpose:
The Town Board finds that prior to demolition, notice should be given by mail to owners or occupants of
properties adjacent to a site where the demolition of all or substantial sections of structures is about to occur
and to the general public through the posting of a sign.

Mamaroneck, as those sections are amended by this local law.

of this chapter, notice of such requests was given by mail, by publication in the newspaper and/or by posting on
the Town's Web site. While these means of notification are more than what New York State law requires, the
Town Board has determined that additional notice in the form of a sign posted upon the subject property will
make the Town's notification procedures more effective and comprehensive. This additional means of
notification will increase awareness and will afford more people in the community an opportunity to participate
in the decision-making process.

notified by mail of the impending demolition and for the general public to be notified through the posting of an
appropriate sign.

subject property.
Section 5 – Insertion of a title to the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck:

immediately before section 144-3:
