Additionally Present:
Tony Siligato,Town Comptroller
Assessment Administration
Present telephonically: Cindy Baire,Vice president of GAR Associates, Inc.
The Town Board reviewed the proposal from GAR Associates for annual assessment maintenance support
services.The proposal outlined 15 key points that would be accomplished by GAR Associates in the Non-
Reappraisal Year of 2014. Mr.Altieri distributed a flow chart provided by Ms. Baire to help outline the 15
tasks. It was explained that should the Town desire to apply for funding through the State Office of Real
Property Tax Services all 15 steps would need to be accomplished.The Town could,on the other hand,create
their own plan and specifically design tasks that would still maintain 100%valuation ongoing. Ms. Baire
explained that the Town could contract with GAR Associates on a per task basis depending on the needs of the
Assessor's Office,specifically depending upon how much could be done in house.Supervisor Seligson stated
that much of the decision on how to maintain 100%valuation,which is the goal and agenda of the Town,will
come directly from the Assessor and her Office. Ms.Thomas stated that the Town Board needs to decide
whether the Town wants to apply for yearly funds,in which case the Town will need to follow the State
guidelines,if not the Town can create their own plan.Following the State guidelines could be more costly and
if funding at the very most is$.50 a parcel,and could be as low at$.05 a parcel,a Town plan may be the best
way to go.The Town will continue with the goal and the agenda of maintaining 100%valuation with the help
of GAR Associates when needed by the Assessor's Office. Mr.Altieri, Ms.Thomas and Ms. Baire will discuss
and prepare a Town plan that does not have the restraints of the State plan that the Town can work with over
the next few years. Mr.Siligato noted that there are still funds in this Capital Project to maintain this
assessment administration work through 2014.
ADDED ITEM
2014 Town Budget
Mr.Altieri and Mr.Siligato distributed a memo dated November 20,2013 outlining Amendments to the Capital
Improvement Plan. Mr.Altieri explained in detail the list of the 8 changes in expenditures and where
applicable the changes in their financing,specifically what has been removed from borrowing and what is now
being appropriated in the budget.The Town Board discussed these changes.The Town Board also received a
2
November 20,2013
memo with a proposed 2014 Preliminary Budget.This Proposal is reflective of the meetings and discussions of
the 2014 Budget with the Town Board,as well as the changes discussed this evening.
ADDED ITEM
Supervisor Seligson reported that with the closing of the CAP Center and the overflow of services being
absorbed by the Hispanic Resource Center(HRC)the Town has been approached to reallocate the funding it
provided to CAP to the HRC.Supervisor Seligson informed the HRC that they will need to provide the Town
with their financials. Mr.Altieri added that the State Comptroller requires a formal agreement between
outside agencies and the Town in order to receive funding.
Off Street Parking
The Town Board discussed the Town Clerk's memo outlining proposed changes to off street parking. Due to
low permits issued for Overnight and Area Business in Lot#2 and Meter Permits in Lot# 1 the Clerk is
recommending changes be made to accommodate residents seeking Daytime permits and 24 hour Permits.The
Board asked Mr. Maker and Ms. Battalia to review any local laws or resolutions that might need to be
amended in order to finalize these recommendations.
Proposed Amendments—Erosion and Sediment Law
The Town Board stated that these amendments were administrative and no further discussion ensued.The
Town Board did ask Mr. Maker to issue a black lined version for the Town Board to review at the next meeting.
Boards and Commissions
Due to time restraints the Town Board did not discuss any potential appointments. The Town Clerk will work
with Mr. Maker and prepare a schedule of expiring terms as of December 31, 2013.

our sister Villages. The group discussed the many efforts of the Town in creating,sustaining and increasing fair

the month that was two months earlier than the date on which the seller acquired the unit and
(b)the month that is two months earlier than the month in which the seller contracts to sell the

leases for a term of no more than two years each. Renewal of a lease shall be subject to
the conditions of federal, state or county provisions that may be imposed by the terms of
the original development funding agreements for the development or to the provisions
of other applicable local law. If no such provisions are applicable and if the annual gross
income of the household to which the tenant belongs should subsequently exceed the
maximum then allowable, under this section, the tenant may complete the then current
lease term and shall be offered a rental unit which is not an RFAHU at the termination of
the lease term, if one is available. If no such dwelling unit is available at that time, the
tenant may be allowed to sign one additional one-year lease for the RFAHU but shall not

Section 1—Purpose:
The current notification procedures for land use applications have been in effect
since 2005. Though the procedures have worked reasonably well, the Town Board has
determined that the distance for determining to whom notice of an application should be
sent should be lengthened from 300 feet to 1,500 feet for lots located within the larger
zoning districts.This law increases the notification area with respect to those districts.
Section 2—Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 144-2 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by repealing
the portion of that section entitled "MAILING AREA" and substituting the following in its
place:
MAILING AREA
11
November 20,2013
(1) 1,500 linear feet from each of the lot lines and corners of the subject
property if the subject property lies within the R-15, R-20, R-30 or R-50 zoning district.
(2) 300 linear feet from each of the lot lines and corners of the subject
property if the subject property lies within a zoning district other than the R-15, R-20, R-30
or R-50 zoning districts.
Section 3—Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court
of competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not
affect any other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the
invalid or unconstitutional provisions.
Section 4—Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
11. Set Public Hearing—Override Tax Levy Limit
Supervisor Seligson explained that this is a precautionary measure that the Town has taken over the last three
years. Should the Town decide to adopt a Budget that exceeds the Tax Levy Limit, this legislation allows the
Town Board the ability to do that. The 2014 Tentative Budget submitted to the Town Board on October 16,
2013 provides for an increase in the tax levy of 2.8%. This is .8% higher than the 2% tax levy increase allowed
by the state regulations.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner,seconded by Councilwoman Elkind Eney,it was
RESOLVED,that the Mamaroneck Town Board does hereby set the date for a Public
Hearing on the"Override the tax levy limit established in General Municipal Law 3-c" Law
for December 4,2013 at 8:OOPM in the Court Room of the Town Center,and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED,that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized to publish the notice of said hearing
in a newspaper appointed as an official newspaper,and that said Notice, be posted.
