CALL TO ORDER - WORK SESSION
The Work Session of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Elkind Eney, then on motion
of Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilman King, the Work Session was unanimously opened at
5:00 P.M.
1. Discussion - Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") - New Harmon Drive Sidewalk
Improvement
Administrator Robson presented the project to the Town Board for authorization. At the last meeting,
the Town Board had requested that Administrator Robson request several changes to the language
within the Senior Center Parking Lot contract which contains the same language. The County would
not accept any changes. The Board discussed the pros and cons of accepting the CDBG for the New
Harmon Drive Sidewalk Improvement and then agreed to put on the agenda for the Regular Meeting
later in the evening.
2. Discussion -Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") -Senior Center Parking Lot
Improvements
Administrator Robson presented the project to the Town Board for authorization for the second time.
At the last meeting, the Town Board had requested that Administrator Robson request several changes
to the language within the contract. The County would not accept any changes. The Board discussed
the pros and cons of accepting the CDBG for the Senior Center Parking Lot and then agreed to put on
the agenda for the Regular Meeting later in the evening.
3. Discussion -Revised Sustainable Westchester Memorandum of Understanding for Participation
in the Short -Term Westchester Power Extension Contract for Communities in the Con Edison
Service Territory
Supervisor Elkind Eney updated the Town Board, noting that Sustainable Westchester had gone out for
bids and the bids were higher than what the Town Board had approved at 12.5 cents. The energy
market is volatile. Sustainable Westchester had hoped to keep the increase in energy costs below 12.5
May 4, 2022
cents per KH. It appears they will need the leeway to purchase energy at up to 13.9 cents. They have
asked participating municipalities to approve the larger increase. After a brief discussion of various bid
results and the timing of them, the Town Board agreed to raise the ceiling to 13.9 cents and put on the
agenda for the Regular Meeting later in the evening.
4. Discussion - Proposed Town Center Signage
Administrator Robson presented a proposal for new signage in the Town Center.
5. 2022 Operating Budget Amendments
Comptroller Yogman presented two Operating Budget Amendments to fund the grant writer and
traffic consultant. The 2022 Adopted Operating Budget included about half the funding for a grant
writer, so the first recommended budget transfer from Contingency is for $22,000, to provide the
additional funds needed to cover the annual cost. The second recommended transfer from
Contingency of $9,550 is for the pedestrian improvements at New Jefferson Street at North
Chatsworth Avenue, where the price was slightly higher than anticipated.
6. 2022 Capital Budget Amendments
Comptroller Yogman reviewed funding sources and proposed a reallocation of the fund balance to use
against several capital projects and one-time expenses, instead of going to bond.
7. Operating Budget Report - Q12022
Every quarter Comptroller Yogman reviews the Town budget. This quarter she highlighted the impact
of inflation affecting our operating expenses. Our debt service will increase for new bonds as interest
rates rise. We will earn a bit more interest income to offset that inflation. On page 126, she pointed to
a quick estimate of budget for revenues and expenses. Mortgage tax is coming in a little higher than
last year and is expected to decrease in subsequent quarters, but Comptroller Yogman thinks we are in
good shape as we have budgeted appropriately. Comptroller Yogman is projecting $100,000 higher in
both Mortgage and Sales Tax than the respective budgets.
The 2022 Town and County Tax collection has been good, and the Town has collected 99.6% as of
today. As always, we must remit the full amount of County taxes due, whether they are all collected or
not. The Town Board asked about vacancies within the Comptroller's department. Administrator
Robson explained that we are considering purchasing new software and reviewing strategically how
our personnel needs might change going forward, because of that software.
8. Capital Budget Report - Q12022
Ms. Yogman presented a list of projects to be bonded in 2022. If the Board accepts this list,
resolutions will be provided for approval at the next Town Board Meeting.
UPDATES — Out of Order
The Town Board provided updates on their various activities during the past two weeks.
Town Attorney Maker is going to research a special election this year to convert the position of Town
Clerk from an elected to an appointed position. Administrator Robson mentioned that we would
expect an update at the June 16 meeting. The Association of Towns has not provided any additional
information and we have received no word yet from the State Attorney.
5G- Town Attorney Maker has reviewed the draft with staff and is incorporating changes based on this
feedback. Town Attorney Maker mentioned that the draft from the consultant was not in the form of
a local law, so will be a process, open for public and Town Board commentary and changes. The Town
Board should expect to have for first review in June.
Assistant to the Town Administrator, Lindsey Luft presented an update on the Town of Mamaroneck
website redesign project. The tentative go live date for the new site is June 14, 2022. Changes will be
ongoing. The Town Board requested that Lindsey Luft review the following: Perhaps SDG should be on
left under resident hub; location of the Tax Role; consider Budget be put in 'Our Town, Our Future'
section; and under 'Resident Hub' include metal/furniture pick up and include general sanitation
information.

EXECUTIVE SESSION
On motion of Councilman King, seconded by Councilwoman Nichinsky, the Board unanimously agreed
to enter an Executive Session to discuss the proposed acquisition of property and the employment
history of a particular person.
On motion of Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilman King the Board unanimously agreed to
resume the Regular Meeting.
9. Presentation - Comprehensive Plan Uodate
Consultants, Tiffany Zezula and Kevin Dworka presented the Town Board with a status report of where
they are in the Comprehensive Plan process. They have finished most of their initial fact finding and
are working on a community needs assessment.
They have started the branding of the effort: TOM, Together our Mamaroneck, Our Town, Our Future.
They have created the experience people will have for the next few months. On May 24t" there will be
a big push to include everyone possible in a Listening Session. Next steps after may include a survey
and the steering committee may attend various public Town events, like movies in the park, to seek
participation.
The first Comprehensive Plan Pop -Up Listening Meeting was held in Washington Square on May 4th. It
was structured so that first attendees signed in, and then they chose to attend either one breakout
session or rotate through as many as three breakouts that included: what are your ideas of Town for
next ten years; the Town of Mamaroneck's challenges; and what do we want to preserve/what do we
love. In general, people wanted to hear more about the timeline and what is involved in a
Comprehensive Plan.
The other meetings will run same way, with residents being welcomed and then introduced to the
Comprehensive Plan process. Greeters will be stationed at the entrance so that they can explain the
process to latecomers. Facilitators will be instructed to focus on Town (to avoid Village
information/ideas). Materials including maps and scripts will be provided to the steering committee
for use at these events.
The Consultants reported on their visit to the high school on May 4th. The students liked cross walks
and traffic safety. Housing is an issue, because if they return after college they don't know where they
could live. They were not satisfied with all the services and expressed a need for more restaurants.
Teacher Joe Liberti will continue to run sessions and will market to the schools.
Six areas have been identified thus far: Land Use, Services, Economic, Housing, Environment and
Transportation. The Consultants then reviewed the development, framework and workplan. The Town
Board asked if the same questions would be covered at each event and pop up throughout the
summer, the answer was yes. The Town Board asked about extracting data from police reform, what
the plan is on how we will address and reach out to that small segment of the Town? The Consultants
confirmed they may need to reach out to some populations more directly to ensure the discussion is
inclusive. Data analysis will be key, and the Consultants will show our Town's breakdown in
comparison with Westchester County and our neighbors. They can drill down to review housing cost
burden, to analyze home ownership level. Representations, income levels and housing access can
describe and guide the conversation and ask about composition and how it affects you? Where you
want to be in 10 years? The Consultants can look at how one comment affects a data trend, but to
avoid lack of representation we need to ensure that all voices are at the table.
The Consultants pointed out that it may take a while to get the community to think about the
community and what needs to happen. Prompts can be key. How the facilitators react and ask
questions are important. Then, the Consultants will show how the data connects to what the people
have said and how we are getting to a policy that we are promoting.
3
May 4, 2022
There was a question from the Steering Committee about the population of those who work in
community and don't live here. Could that be incorporated in another way? The Consultants said that
may arise in the housing burden discussion.
The Consultants urged the Town Board to observe in the pop-up meetings on May 241" and suggested
to maybe let the residents participate. The Consultants will call and talk to all the Town Board to let
them have a voice in the Comprehensive Plan.
CALL TO ORDER - REGULAR MEETING
The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Elkind Eney at
8:06p.m. Supervisor Elkind Eney wished 'May the Fourth be with you' to all the Star Wars lovers!
Supervisor Elkind Eney noted that the Town Board met for a work session beginning at five o'clock this
evening.
STAFF COMMENTS/PRESENTATIONS — OUT OF ORDER
1. Larchmont Volunteer Ambulance Corp ("LVAC") Proclamation
Supervisor Elkind Eney welcomed the Larchmont Volunteer Ambulance Corp to the meeting.
Supervisor Elkind Eney noted that in 1972, a small group of citizens got together to organize
emergency medical services for our community. Since then, they have consistently served us and the
number of calls they have responded to have continued to increase over the years. By the early 1990's
they were answering an average of 850 calls a year, a large increase from the 1970's. Now they are
averaging 1,500 calls a year. They continue to carry on the tradition of serving our community, so we
are here today to honor them. Supervisor Elkind Eney presented a Proclamation to the representatives
of LVAC.
On behalf of membership and the officers, Chief John Pomponio of Larchmont VAC, thanked the Town
Board, the elected officials, and the community. John Pomponio and Kris Mueller accepted the award.
Senator Steve Otis was impressed by their 50 years of service and noted that was more longevity than
most communities on the Sound Shore. He mentioned that these are challenging times and that we
have a lot of work to do to support you.
Senator Shelley Mayer noted that being exposed to such a fantastic LVAC has been eye opening. Their
work on the front lines during challenging times continuously during Ida, COVID, and flooding has been
truly remarkable. She congratulated them and thanked them for their work.
2. Senator Shelley Mayer, Assemblyman Steve Otis— EMS Legislation Presentation
Senator Shelley Mayer thanked the Town Board for inviting them to present their proposed legislation.
Senator Mayer said that the longstanding, state-wide shortage of EMS providers was brought to their
attention by Chris Bradbury in Rye Brook. After many meetings with stakeholders, it was clear that it is
a very complex regulatory oversight with flaws that need to be addressed. Senator Mayer reviewed
the five elements raised by both paid EMS and administrators:
• First, as a citizen when you need emergency services you think they will come. EMS workers
wanted to be classified an essential service, as they are as essential as Police and Fire.
• Second, wanted to address the challenges of recruiting by providing health insurance, which is
currently limited. Senator Mayer wanted a path forward, to expand Empire Plan to all EMS
employees, so that this could be a career path.
• Third, they wanted to expand pension access for EMS workers, again to ensure it is a path to a
good job with retirement.
• Fourth, they believe municipalities should be required to provide EMS services. Some
municipalities like the Town of Mamaroneck have taken it on, but many have not. There is a
need to codify that EMS are medical providers not just transporters.
• Finally, they wanted to establish uniform standards, address shared resources, and set a
minimum standard of care, through regional and state EMS councils to guarantee all New
Yorkers are receiving quality care.
Senator Mayer proposed a bill in the Senate, and their upstate colleagues were supportive. They are
now working with other groups to address various regional needs. Senator Mayer and Assemblyman
4
May 4, 2022
Otis are trying to improve the life and work of EMS employees and have started a (big) conversation
statewide.
Assemblyman Steve Otis mentioned he had learned the complexity of the issue and is now seeking
improvement and standardization. Even within Westchester there are different structural, legal, and
financial ways municipalities provide this service. When you try to fix one part, you might unravel
other issues, and they do not want unintended consequences. Other municipalities have been great
collaborators. It is very important because people are having medical emergencies and there is no one
responding, so we must address.
Senator Mayer added that this is a national problem. Now at the national level, there is more funding
and more attention being paid to the need recruit and retain.
Supervisor Elkind Eney thanked Senator Mayer and Assemblyman Otis for being involved and being
such amazing partners and she was thankful to have them representing us. Councilwoman Katz asked
about volunteer firefighters and if this applied to them as well. Senator Mayor noted that this bill is
really to address the EMS side, not the firefighter side. Councilwoman Nichinsky thanked Senator
Mayor and Assemblyman Otis you for educating us and for bringing this bill forward. Senator Mayor
and Assemblyman Otis thanked the Town Board for all they do.
3. Chief Creazzo —Quarterly Update -- Police Department Report 1" Quarter 2022
Police Chief Paul Creazzo presented his quarterly report and is entered into the record as follows:
The following is a breakdown of some of the activities of the department from January VY to March
315Y, 2022.
Overall Activity
Total Calls 2638
Criminal Cases 65
Auto Accidents 38
Medical Service Calls 137
(33 with no injury, 5 with injury)
We opened the quarter during the COVID Omnicron surge, we had several members of the
Department contract the virus during this time. We are aware of the new variants that are surfacing,
and we remain vigilant.
In terms of crime, the increase in catalytic converter thefts has been in the news both locally and
nationally. We saw a short burst of catalytic converter thefts in the Town in late January and early
February with one reported in mid -March. A total of 8 catalytic converter thefts were reported in the
15Y Quarter. Patrols have been increased in the areas most susceptible to the thefts and the
Department participated in a multi -agency task force aimed at combatting catalytic converter thefts.
Crimes of opportunity such as theft from vehicles and identity theft have been reported as well. The
best defense is to remove the opportunity. Lock your doors, install exterior lighting, keep valuables
out of sight, secure personal information.
The quarter also had several notable arrests. In January we arrested several suspects for mail theft
thanks to an observant resident who provided a good description and a diligent patrol officer who
spotted the fleeing vehicle as she was responding to the call location. In February we worked in
conjunction with the County Burglary Task Force and arrested two subjects in connections with a
residential burglary that occurred in the Town. In March we arrested two subjects after a Detective
Division investigation for Grand Larceny related to check fraud in the amount of approximately
$78, 000.
Training Activity
The members of the Department completed 712 hours of training. Some of the training included:
5
May 4, 2022
• Firearms Training —408 hours
• FBI-LEEDA Leadership Training —80 hours
• Principled Policing Instructor Training — 64 hours
• Child Passenger Safety Technician Training — 64 hours
• Force Science — Us of Force Analyst Training — 40 hours
• NYS Accreditation Manager Training — 32 hours
• Rifle Armorer's Course — 16 hours
• 911 Mental Health Diversion Training-8 hours
Communitv Outreach/Events
Two Officers were certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians and our child safety seat program is
up and running. The technicians have installed 8 seats as of March 31". Any resident can set up an
appointment for a seat installation by phone or email. The registration form is posted on the
Department Website.
The PBA sponsored a 'Stuff the Cruiser' event on March 51" and 61" at the Ferndale Shopping Center for
Ukrainian relief supplies. The response and support from the public was overwhelming. A total of five
vehicles worth of relief supplies were collected and sent to Ukraine.
Miscellaneous
In January, the Police Department hired one Police Officer which filled our one open slot. That Officer
has completed field training and is now working with the Patrol Division. Recruiting has been a
challenge nationally, having our roster filled is beneficial for the community.
We have equipped al the patrol vehicles with mobile phones which have been programmed to
enhance our radio capabilities. In addition to normal phone functions several resources such as state
and local law references have been added to them to help Officers on the street. Two translator apps
that were suggested during our police reform review have also been installed on the phone.
Additionally, the AT&T Language Line is now accessible in the field.
We have been diligently working with our partners at Lexipol on the policy manual rewrite. We have
roughly 20 policies updated and ready for publishing. That work will continue until complete. The
project is time consuming however the goal is to have the manual completed by the end of the year.
The second quarter is going to be busy for the Department as we continue to rewrite policies,
undertake numerous training initiatives, and begin the process of New York State Accreditation.
Councilman King commented that he has a fifth grader at Mamaroneck Avenue School in the Village of
Mamaroneck School that had attended a D.A.R.E. program. Councilman King wondered if there had
been any discussion to reinstitute D.A.R.E. in the Town? Chief Creazzo noted that the program had
been reviewed a while back and there had been some questions about results. Chief Creazzo
acknowledged that the program was successful in getting the students speaking with police officers.
Supervisor Elkind Eney thanked Chief Creazzo for his service and the quarterly update.
SUPERVISOR'S REPORT
Welcome to the May 4, 2022 meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck.
The Town Board met today for a Work Session in Conference Room C starting at 5:OOpm, which
is open to the Public.
First, there are some commemorations this week:
This week, the first week in May, is National Public Service Employees Week. While our
Administrator will discuss this more fully, 1 just want to say, on behalf of the Town Board and
the residents of the Town of Mamaroneck that our staff, each and every department, under the
leadership of our Town Administrator, Meredith Robson, are exemplars of public service. They
are dedicated, professional and caring and we can't thank them enough for all they do.
This is also National Hurricane Preparedness Week. Hurricane season is June 1 to November 1,
so now is the time to prepare. We have posted information on our website that will help you be
prepared. Obviously, it's better to do so now, than to wait until one is upon us and things are
chaotic the stores are out of the necessary supplies.
6
May 4, 2022
Today is also International Firefighter Day. International Firefighters Day is celebrated every
year on May 4th to recognize and honor the sacrifices of firefighters who risk their lives for
others. The Town of Mamaroneck Firefighters do that and so much more for our community
thank them from the bottom of my heart for all they do for us each and every day. And stay
safe!
FIRE DEPARTMENT:
Installation Ceremony: I was honored to swear in the officers of the TMFD. It was so great to be
able to celebrate them again. While we have been unable to celebrate them properly, they
haven't skipped a beat in delivering essential services and more to our community
Fire Department Open House: The TMFD held an open house this month. It was a chance for
the community to come see the firehouse, the firetrucks, and learn about what the TMFD does
for the community. They are always looking for more volunteers. If interested call 834-2192
and press 3.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
I want to update you about the Comprehensive Plan.
The Town Board met with our consultants, Tiffany Zezula and Kevin Dworka and they gave us a
status report of where they are in the process. They have finished most of their fact finding and
are working on a community needs assessment.
Today, we started our public engagement. Tiffany and her staff did outreach at the HS in Joe
Liberti's OCRA class. The Students were asked what they liked and disliked about the Town of
Mamaroneck and we had a pop-up public engagement session at Washington Square.
We have 3 events scheduled for May 24-10:30-11:30 at the Senior Center, 1:30-3:30 at the
TMFD and 7-9 at the Hammocks Park Ice Rink. Public Engagement is critical to the success of
the Plan so please please try to come to one of the sessions. If you are unable, there will be
more in the future.
Speaking Engagements:
I had two opportunities this month to speak about my favorite topic: The Town of Mamaroneck
I, along with Mayor Tom Murphy of the Village of Mamaroneck and Deputy Mayor Sarah Bauer
of the Village of Larchmont spoke to the Women's Club of Larchmont about each of our
communities. I thought the meeting was informative and well received.
I was asked to speak on a one -hour radio show on WVOX with Former Town Supervisor Valerie
O'Keeffe. I enjoyed speaking with her about the state of the Town.
Earth Day Events:
There were a lot of events around the Town centered around earth day and arbor day
I attended, with Abby Katz, the LGCA breakfast on Fernwood Bridge and Cleanup along the
brook. Some even went into the brook to clean.
I attended the annual Town Cleanup along with over 30 volunteers. This year the cleanup was
at the Sheldrake Trails. They collected 7 bags of trash and 4 bags of recyclables. Thank you to
my assistant, sustainability coordinator, Sue Odierna and environmental planner, Elizabeth
Aitchison for organizing the event and to Trader Joe's for donating tasty snacks for the
volunteers.
The Town hosted an Arbor Day event where we planted a native dogwood tree at the Senior
Center that the Seniors will enjoy for years to come. This was the 150r" Anniversary of Arbor
Day and the 30r" Year the Town has been honored by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City
USA. Again, I want to thank my assistant, sustainability coordinator, Sue Odierna and
environmental planner, Elizabeth Aitchison for organizing the event and the Highway
Department for making it happen.
Compost Giveaway: Over 150 Residents took advantage of our Fifth Annual Compost Giveaway
at the Maxwell Avenue Recycling Center this past Saturday. The program is our way of saying
thank you to the residents who choose to recycle their food scraps. Thank you to the
Sustainability Collaborative for arranging this and a special thank you to the Sanitation
Commission for their invaluable help in instituting the Food Scrap Recycling Program in 2017
and their continuing support in this annual event.
Athletic Events:
Bunny Hop -- On April 25, which was a lovely spring day, we had our annual 5K Run and Lil
Bunny Hop. Over 340 residents participated. Thank you to the Rec for hosting another great
event as well as, TMFD, TMPD, VAC, and the Highway Department who helped make it happen.
7
May 4, 2022
Ice Breaker Tournament -- The Annual Ice Breaker Tournament is the "Woodstock of Hockey
Tournaments" We had 4 days of Hockey, friends, family, music, food and drink at the

3mos to almost 90, 45 pizzas, 750 Hot Dogs, Z200 wings, four six-foot wedges and one man
who made it all happen! Thank you, Dan Demasi!
All tournament proceeds go to the Hammocks Ice Rink Trust Fund which is used to pay for
improvements to our rink.
Finally, Meetings:
I attended a Westchester Joint Waterworks Meetina where we continue to work on the
operation of this vital municipal service, a Sustainability Collaborative Meeting which Robin will
tell you about, a Traffic Committee Meeting which Abby will tell you about, and a Joint
Sanitation Meeting of the Town Board and the VOL Board where we continued discussions on
the future structure of the Sanitation Commission.
Memorial Day Parade 5126 Parade Route from Chatsworth Avenue at the Train Station to the
LFD where there will be hot dogs. Parade Starts at 7:00pm.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Administrator Robson addressed Public Service Recognition Week -- something near and dear to her
heart. Since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week has been celebrated the first week of May each
year. This week honors the dedicated Federal, State, Tribal, and local public servants who serve at
those various levels of government but noted that it is our local employees here in the Town of
Mamaroneck that we truly want to acknowledge and celebrate. Administrator Robson then reviewed
many of our local Public Servant roles and thanked all the municipal employees, as well as our
volunteers here at the Town.
