BOSTON POST ROAD, MAMARONECK, NEW YORK PRESENT: Supervisor Valerie M. O'Keeffe Councilwoman Phyllis Wittner Councilwoman Judith A. Myers Councilman Ernest C. Odierna Councilwoman Nancy Seligson ALSO PRESENT: Patricia A. DiCioccio, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney Patricia A.

Supervisor O'Keeffe then gave the State of the Town Address: This evening I would like to present to the community the State of our Town as we enter the year 2002. Our Town government and Town Board were very busy in 2001 looking at solutions to sometimes complex issues that affect the quality of life in the Town of Mamaroneck. Washington Square During this past year the Town focused a number of efforts in the Washington Square Neighborhood. One of the most exciting efforts was the streetscape project for the area. With the help of a $200,000 grant from the Community Development Block Grant Program, new sidewalks, curbs, and street lights were installed. The neighborhood facelift was sorely needed. The project has met its goal of improving both form and function in the area. Our work in the neighborhood is not yet over. In 2002 the Town will continue to work with area residents on issues of future land use and improved parking. In 2001 the Town commissioned a study to consider 1) alternative types of land development on the property at Madison Ave. and Maxwell Ave. and 2) solutions to parking problems for residents and those who work in the area. To help the Town Board in this endeavor, a parking task force of neighborhood residents and business owners was created. In the coming January 9, 2002 year, with the help of the task force and our consultants, we plan to focus on a series of recommendations to improve parking in Washington Square. Parking Parking problems are not only limited to residents of Washington Square but also for those residents who commute to NYC. In response to this problem, the Town Board authorized the creation of a new parking lot on Vine St. adjacent to the NYS Thruway. The lot provides an additional 37 commuter parking spaces for our residents. Environment Protecting the environment has always been a priority for the Town of Mamaroneck and in 2001 several new programs were initiated. Sewers In a joint effort with the County of Westchester work began to repair our sanitary sewer system and prevent the infiltration of storm water into the system. Excess stormwater in the sanitary sewer system reduces the County's capability of effectively treating the sewage that flows to the County's sewer treatment plants. In a further effort to remove storm water from our sanitary sewers the Town has been working with those residents where illegal sewer connections have been discovered. The end product to all of this work will be a cleaner Long Island Sound. Organic Waste This past year the Town of Mamaroneck and Village of Larchmont began its first organic waste collection program to promote more recycling in the community. The program, which will continue in 2002, will reduce the total amount of garbage for disposal and allow for the reuse of organic material for mulch and other gardening products. An added bonus is the reduced garbage disposal costs that will result from more recycling. Pryer Manor Marsh Finally in the category of the environment, the Town with the help of a grant from the State of New York is working on a project to revitalize the Pryer Manor Marsh. To be completed in 2002, the marsh will be returned to its original condition as a salt water marsh. The Town has taken a rare opportunity to reclaim this vital land and return it to its place as part of the local ecosystem. Open Space One of the greater challenges facing the Town is the accumulation of open space to preserve the character of Mamaroneck and offer opportunities for residents of the community. With the help of a donation of land from the Sether family, the Town will formally set aside additional land for conservation and passive recreation purposes. The Town will continue in 2002 and beyond to find ways to acquire additional open space for recreational fields that are desperately needed in the community. Quality of Life We often speak of the quality of life in the community. Local governments can have a significant impact on the quality of life in a community and this past year the Town tackled the challenge on several fronts. Sound Barriers A project that has been in the works for several years is almost complete and that is the construction of sound barriers on 1-95. Traffic noise from 1-95 has 2 January 9, 2002 become a considerable problem in the community since the replacement of the road surface in 1995. Working with the Thruway Authority and other local governments that abut 1-95 we have tried to minimize the problem. New sound barriers were installed on Harmon Drive in 2001 and in 2002, sound barriers are to be installed on Northbrook Road. Although the barriers will not eliminate the problem for the community it will improve conditions for those most severely impacted by the Thruway. Air Conditioning Units In 2001 the Town Board adopted legislation that will regulate the installation of central air conditioning units. The legislation is intended to minimize the impact of the air conditioners upon neighbors. Recreation Quality of life can also mean fun and the Town promoted fun this past summer with the introduction of our first outdoor concerts. Concerts Four concerts were held in Memorial Park in July and August. Families enjoyed the park while listening to a variety of different types of music. The concerts received rave reviews from the community and so we have made funds available in the 2002 budget to hold the concerts again this coming summer so stay tuned for the dates to be announced. Summer Programs/Camps Our summer recreation programs and camps were again oversubscribed in 2001. Close to 1,100 children each summer participate in our playground camps, sports camps and music camps. Young children will have more fun in Town this coming year with the completion of the renovations to Memorial Park. Parks In December of 2001 the Town completed a two phase project to replace all the playground equipment in the park and resurface the tennis courts. The new playground equipment is all handicapped accessible and offers new adventures for the children in Town. Technology The use of technology has become an important part of our lives. For the Town government the question is always: will the application of technology help us to better deliver services to the residents? We know that the Internet has become a medium by which people communicate, obtain information and conduct business. In keeping with this trend the Town debuted its Internet Website in 2001. The site offers valuable information and improves our ability to communicate with residents. Users of the site can not only obtain information but also download application forms for permits, licenses, and programs. The address is www.townofmamaroneck.org In 2002 we hope to expand the capabilities of the site to allow residents to conduct Town business without leaving their home. Capital Projects In 2002 several important capital projects will come under consideration. These will include the renovation of our public works garage, replacement of our volunteer ambulance corps building, and construction of a parking deck on Myrtle Boulevard. All of these projects will improve our ability to serve the community. 3 January 9, 2002 Budget A presentation on the state of the Town Of Mamaroneck would be incomplete if I did not touch upon the budget and our finances. I am pleased to report that we enter the year 2002 with our financial position strong. Our current position allows us to weather unscheduled storms both literally and figuratively without a reliance on borrowed funds. Economic predictions for the upcoming year vary but there is general agreement that the outstanding growth of the past three years will not be repeated in 2002. We did not lose site of this prediction in preparing the 2002 budget. Conservative estimates of both revenues and expenses have allowed the Town to provide all the current services expected by the residents with a modest increase in property taxes. As in prior years, we will continue to look at ways of controlling expenses and discovering new revenue sources. In this way the Town Board can develop the proper mix of funding that allocates property taxes for essential services and non-property tax fees for services used by segments of the population. Before concluding I want to thank the members of the Town Board for their tireless efforts in considering the many details that come before them. For those of you that watch our Town Board meetings, these meetings are only the tip of the iceberg of the hours spent by the Board developing solutions to the problems and issues facing the Town Of Mamaroneck. Also, special thanks to our staff that work hard to provide the high level of services expected by the residents. The Supervisor thanked the Boards and Commissions and gave a special thanks to the Town of Mamaroneck staff. She also thanked the Administrator, Mr. Altieri, the staff of the Administrator's office and Lillian Robustelli for going beyond the call of duty. The Supervisor thanked her family and said she was looking forward to working with the new Mayors of the Villages. She then acknowledged County Legislator George Latimer, Bill Panoessa, the new Trustee in the Village of Mamaroneck, Mayor Debbie Chapin, Ken Bialo, Trustee from the Village of Larchmont and Tom Murphy, former Trustee from the Village of Mamaroneck who were all present. Councilwoman Wittner thanked the Supervisor and fellow Board Members for a very productive year and was delighted they all would be working together again. Councilwoman Myers reiterated what Councilwoman Wittner had said adding she also was looking forward to another two years. Councilman Odierna stated that the Supervisor did a great job of covering the bases and the Town of Mamaroneck and the Villages of Mamaroneck and Larchmont are class acts; she was very dedicated as Supervisor and that it was more than just a job to her. He said he would like to see the Town work closer with the Villages in the future and he was glad to be part of it all. He then thanked Lillian Robustelli for her "tender care". Councilwoman Seligson said she was looking forward to working for and supporting the community. She hoped to move forward on the following: environmental issues, grant money, affordable housing, development and changes in our community. Looking forward to working together and it was very exciting to have such a "full house" at this meeting. The Supervisor then introduced Robert Meglio of Friends in Deed "FIND", who then gave a brief presentation on this organization. Mr. Meglio said that this organization was set up to provide emotional and financial assistance to the families in the community who were affected by the September 11 tragedy. There are nine families involved. He thanked the Supervisor, Mr. Altieri, Councilwoman Myers, the Youth Council and the other Council members for their help. Mr. Meglio introduced the members of FIND. The organization has sponsored a community walk to help families and the community. Over$50,000 was raised from this event, also an additional $25,000 since then has been added to the fund. They are planning additional events in 2002. They plan to continue working with these families and felt that it has made us a stronger community, proud that FIND has made a difference. 4 January 9, 2002 The Supervisor thanked Reverend William Crawford of the Larchmont Presbyterian Church for the use of the Church for meetings held by FIND, and also thanked the youth in the community for an excellent job of volunteering their time. The Supervisor then introduced Cantor Alan Sokoloff to give the Benediction. She mentioned that Rabbi Michael Stanger was to be present but was unable to attend. His wife had given birth to a baby girl. The Supervisor thanked the staff of LMC-TV, Daryl Davis and Evan for a job well done. The Town Board recessed to their regular meeting at 9:25 PM.
