Winick, Town Councilman (completing an unexpired term) CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor O’Keeffe at 9:10 PM. She then pointed out the location of exits. State of the Town Address The Supervisor reported the following: First, let me wish all of you a Happy New Year for 2006. Also let me congratulate my colleagues Ernie Odierna, Nancy Seligson and Paul Winick on their new terms of office as members of the Town Board. As has been my practice, I would like to begin the New Year by taking a few moments to review with the community the activities of the Town government over the past year and provide a glimpse of what is in store for 2006. 2005 has been another busy and productive year for the Town of Mamaroneck. The Town Board’s legislative package included the adoption of eighteen pieces of legislation aimed at improving the character of the Town as well as the quality of life for the residents. New legislation regarding land use permits vastly improves the way in which neighborhoods are notified of pending applications before our land use boards. Legislation was also adopted to require residents constructing fences on their property to make certain that the side of the fence facing their neighbors is the more attractive side of the fencing. As always the care of the environment is a principal concern of the Town and JANUARY 4, 2006 to that end several new pieces of legislation were adopted to improve the environment in which we live. To combat the problem of pollution in our waterways and in Long Island Sound the Town adopted legislation to assure that storm water drainage facilities are not connected to the Town’s sanitary sewer system. The intention of the legislation is to prevent the surcharging of the sanitary sewer system with storm water. We also adopted legislation to limit the problem of idling vehicle engines. The Town Board also adopted several new pieces of legislation to improve traffic safety on our streets. One of the more important pieces of legislation adopted this past year, however, was the amendment to the mixed use business and residential zone in the Washington Square neighborhood. From the beginning, the Town knew the importance of making certain that any large scale development bring some form of benefit to the Town. The zoning legislation adopted in May of 2005 was the culmination of almost five years of work by the Town. Many meetings were held with the stakeholders that would be most affected by a new residential development of this type. Stakeholders in this process included our neighbors in the Village of Larchmont, residents in Washington Square and many others. With the new zoning now in place the developer, Forest City Residential, is currently before the Town Planning Board and other Town agencies working on the construction and planning details of the development. The new residential development meets two of the Town’s more important concerns: to provide affordable housing in the community as well as additional parking for the Washington Square neighborhood. The Forest City project will continue to be an important part of our agenda in 2006. Another initiative that will carry over from 2005 to 2006 is a review of illuminated signs in our commercial districts. During the summer of 2005 we became concerned with the quality of illuminated signs being installed in the commercial districts. The new signs do not appear to be in keeping with the Town’s suburban character and many residents have commented to us on the appearance of some of the illuminated signs. Therefore, in September the Town Board placed a moratorium on the installation of illuminated signs in the Town. The moratorium will allow the Town Board time to evaluate how best to amend our sign regulations to improve upon the design criteria for illuminated signs. Legislation was not the only area of activity for the Town this past year. With the help of a Federal Grant the Town this past fall began the construction of a streetscape project along the Boston Post Road near the New Rochelle border. When completed the project, located on the Boston Post Road between Dillon Road and Dean Place will provide new sidewalks and new street lighting treatment. This project represents the final phase of streetscape improvements along the Boston Post Road. As part of this project the Dillon Park neighborhood will receive new sidewalks, curbs and streets. The project will be completed in the Spring of 2006. Knowing the importance of recreation activities in the Town we are partnering with the Mamaroneck School District on a project to rehabilitate the Hommocks Pool. Included in this project is a new roof structure, improvements to the locker rooms as well as the pools operating systems. The Hommocks Pool stands as our most utilized recreation facility and serves not only the unincorporated Town but also the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck. The rehabilitated pool is slated to reopen in time for the 2006 summer season. Another capital project to be completed in 2006 is the construction of a new water filtration plant. The Town, as one of three municipalities making up the Westchester Joint Water Works will be involved in the construction of a new water filtration plant that has been ordered by the courts. This project which is expected to cost $37M will provide advanced filtration of potable water from the Rye Lake Reservoir. The Town’s share of this project will be $8M. Obviously, the challenge for the Town will be the development of an effective financing plan for this project along with other needed capital projects planned for 2006. Although we face the challenge of a large financing in 2006 for our financial condition remains strong. The budget for 2006 calls for a modest 4.5% tax increase to meet the rising costs of day to day operations. Conservative financial management by the Town has meant sufficient reserves for unanticipated expenses and a continued ability to be a full service government to our residents at a fair cost. In conclusion, I want to thank my fellow Board members for their work. The 2 JANUARY 4, 2006 accomplishments that we have made over this past year have been the result of an almost endless number of hours spent at meetings and communicating with the public. I look forward to working with this board in the coming year. Also, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Town staff for their work. It is their expertise in carrying out the laws and policies of the Town Board that is critical to the Town’s success.
