Luft, Assistant to Town Administrator Tracy Yogman, Town Comptroller Richard Polcari, Building Inspector 5:00 PM The Town Board Work Session Call to Order WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. Discussion - Appointment of New Civil Officers Due to the passing of one of our long-time civil officers, the Town needs additional civil officers to carry out this service. Therefore, the Town Clerk proposed appointing Tom Poretto and George Mgrditchian as Civil Officer of the Town to serve the remaining term of office of 2022, effective September 21 , 2022, and terminating on December 31 , 2022. The Town Board agreed to put the appointments on the agenda for later this evening. 2. Discussion - Waiving the Town of Mamaroneck's Marriage License Fee for Active-Duty Members In 2019, the Governor signed a law waiving the State Fee on Marriage Licenses for active-duty members of the Armed Forces and put into law the ability of Towns to do the same. The Town Clerk's office requests to waive the portion of the marriage license fee ($17.50) to which the Town is entitled. The Town Board agreed to put on the agenda for later tonight. 3. Review - Declaration and Sale of Surplus Equipment The Administrator introduced a list provided from the Comptroller of equipment for the designation and sale as surplus equipment. The Board agreed to put on the agenda for later tonight. 4. Discussion - Distance for Mailing Notices of Land Use Applications Building Inspector Polcari presented a brief history of mailings in the Town and explained that the Board of Appeals recently realized that under certain circumstances the current range for mailing notice can require mailing to over 300 homes and businesses. As a result, the Building Inspector researched the range for mailing notice of land use applications in nearby communities and is proposing that the notification by mail range be revised to a uniform 300 feet from all points on the applicant's lot. The Board agreed to set the public hearing at the Board meeting on October 3rd, to allow time to forward the proposed local law to the Zoning and Planning Boards for review and comment. 5. Discussion - Model Code for Flood Damage Prevention The Town received an email from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation indicating a revision to the Town Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and including a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). This triggered the Building Inspector to review the Town's Local Law #8, the "Flood Damage Prevention" Law of 2007, and to realize that our local law was outdated. The Building Inspector recommends that the Town accept the model local law provided by the DEC. The Board agreed to call for a public hearing on October 3, 2022, at the regular meeting this evening. 6. Discussion - Amendment of the Cost for Renewing Building Permits The Building Inspector reviewed the proposed changes to the Town's Building Department fees as detailed on his memo. The Board agreed to set a public hearing for October 3, 2022, for a local law revising the Chapter A250 Fee Schedule. 7. Discussion - 2022 Capital Budget Amendment The Town received a memo from the Comptroller detailing the two projects that need budget amendments, the Ambulance Software (Project 2021-20) and the Water District-Lakeside Drive Water Main (Project 1392-12). Approval of these amendments is on the regular agenda for this evening. 8. Discussion - 2022 Operating Budget Amendments The Town received a memo from the Comptroller detailing the budget amendments needed to fund the GovHR consultant contract authorized in August, and Fire Department overtime. Approval of these amendments is on the regular agenda for this evening. 9. Discussion - Donation of Lockers and Related Improvements to Locker Room at Hommocks Park Ice Rink The Town rebuilt the locker rooms as part of the Hommocks Park Ice Rink renovations but did not include any lockers. The varsity ice hockey team and coaches would like lockers to allow the team to store their gear at the rink during the Mamaroneck High School season. There have been numerous conversations between Town staff and school staff regarding the installation of new lockers for the school hockey team at the Hommocks Park Ice Rink. School officials have indicated that they have received a donation for such lockers, as well as some related locker room improvements and the installation of the lockers. The lockers will in turn, be donated to the Town. The Administrator pointed out that typically, the Board would be asked to accept the donation once the lockers had been received, however, because authorization of the locker donation must be approved prior to an order being placed, the Administrator requested a resolution by the Town Board. The resolution is on the regular agenda for this evening. 10. Discussion - Comprehensive Plan Update See Attachment A. Updates The Town Supervisor provided an update on both the 1-95 turnaround and the latest grant submission for the roundabout, now titled Town Safety and Economic Renaissance Project. The Board asked if an affordable housing grant might help fund the Hommocks Park Apartment renovations. The Supervisor then asked, on behalf of the Town Fire Department, about potential grants for the Fire Department. The Town Administrator agreed to follow up on additional grant opportunities. Request for Executive Session 1. Entering Executive Session Councilwoman Fiddelman made a motion, Councilwoman Katz seconded the motion, and the Board unanimously agreed to enter an Executive Session to discuss the employment history of a particular person, to discuss the proposed sale of real property, and potential litigation. On motion of Councilman King, seconded by Councilwoman Nichinsky, the Board unanimously agreed to resume the Regular Meeting. 8:00 PM Town Board Regular Meeting Call to Order The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Elkind Eney at 8:22 p.m. Supervisor Elkind Eney noted that the Town Board met for a Work Session beginning at five o'clock this evening. Supervisor's Report Welcome to the September 21 , 2022, meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck. The Town Board met today for a Work Session here at the Town Center in Conference Room C starting at 5:OOpm, which is open to the Public. Comprehensive Plan: As has previously been reported, the Town is in the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan. The updated Comprehensive Plan, "Together our Mamaroneck," will describe a vision for the long-term future of our Town and will help guide future decision making on matters of importance to our community. The Comprehensive Plan is based upon input from our residents. As such, an online survey, the Community Needs Survey, was created to provide an opportunity for additional community input. To date, more than 600 residents have provided their feedback via the Community Needs Survey. If you have not yet done so, please take the survey to let us know your vision for the future of our Town. The survey can be found on the home page of the Town Website. It will be available until the end of September. Residents of the Unincorporated area, please take 5 minutes to do the survey. We want to hear from you. This fall, our Consulting Team and Comprehensive Plan Committee will share the input received from our residents and discuss draft goals based on public engagement efforts. Events: • On Thursday, September 8, members of the board attended the first WMOA dinner of the season. It was hosted by the Village of Sleepy Hollow. The topic was "land use issues from 30,000 feet" which was very helpful. Everyone was very excited to be back in person again...it was great to see familiar faces • On Sunday, September 11 , the Town held our tri-municipal commemoration of the 21 st Anniversary of September 11 . Because of the weather, we held it in Memorial Park under the Murray Avenue Overpass. It was a very beautiful and moving ceremony. The speeches centered on acts of kindness and remembrance of the first responders who risked everything to help others—and of course we remembered those who were lost on that day. We appreciated the participation of the first responders, the boy and girl scouts, the vets, members of the clergy, and elected officials. It was truly a community event. I think we all left there proud of, and comforted by, our community. • On Monday September 12 -I attended a comp plan committee meeting where we reviewed an initial draft of the Comprehensive Plan Framework. The Framework was divided into seven themes and presented goals and related actions for each theme. The draft goals and actions were derived from the community needs assessment, including the existing conditions analysis, interim survey results, and stakeholder interviews. More community involvement to follow as we move through the process • On Tuesday, September 13, the Local Summit did a presentation on Emergency Preparedness one year after IDA. The program explored: how our three municipalities prepare for and anticipate future emergencies and what we as residents need to know and can do in advance. Town Administrator Meredith Robson, along with the Administrators of our two sister villages were the speakers and did a fantastic job of educating all of us. • On Wednesday September 14- I attended the One year after IDA community meeting held at Mamaroneck Avenue School. The speakers at the public info meeting included Village Manager Jerry Barberio who gave a presentation about the initiatives the village has taken in the last year to mitigate flooding, an announcement from the Governor's Office of Storm Recovery about new funding available for homeowners and renters recovering from IDA, and steps residents can take to prepare for the next natural disaster—the meeting was well attended and very informative. • On Saturday, September 17, from 10-00am-12:00 noon we held our Annual Town Fall Cleanup in the Hommocks Conservation Area. This coincided with International Clean-Up Day. We had over 30 volunteers and collected 5 bags of trash weighing over 75 pounds, 10 bags of recycling weighing 15 pounds and 326 pounds of large items. Some of the most interesting were a love seat, 3 chairs and a trampoline. I want to thank all of the volunteers who participated, Trader Joe's for proving snacks for the volunteers once again, and Sue Odierna our sustainability coordinator and Elizabeth Aitchison, our environmental planner for organizing this event each year. • Sunday Sept 18, I attended a celebration in honor of the 100th anniversary of Larchmont Village Hall. They unearthed a time capsule that was buried 100 years ago and then collected items from today and buried a time capsule for residents 100 years from now to unearth. The items they uncovered were very interesting and are on display in Village Hall. • Monday September 19, 1 was invited to attend an event at the County Office Building in honor of Climate Week at which it was announced by Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado that 100 communities in New York State have now become certified as "Climate Smart Communities." We are proud that, back in 2016, the Town of Mamaroneck became the ninth community in the entire state to achieve this status. This year, at the time the Town renewed its certification, the Town was the only municipality in NYS that met the criteria for the second time. Also in attendance were Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner and Climate Action Council Co-Chair Basil Seggos and NYSERDA President and CEO and Climate Action Council Co-Chair Doreen M. Harris. • On Tuesday September 20 1 attended a WPATS Luncheon. There were 9 Supervisors there from around the County and we discussed and shared ideas about issues facing all of us in an informal setting. I found it very interesting and helpful to hear how other Towns address the same issues that we face. Upcoming Events: • On Saturday, October 1 from Noon to 4:OOpm we will have our annual fall food truck festival in Memorial Park. There are 16 food trucks, face painting, music, craft vendors and a pumpkin patch!! It is such a great day! • Also, on Saturday, October 1 the Hommocks Park Ice Rink opens for public skating for the season. Please check the website for all the offerings. • On Saturday October 9, the 14th Annual Paine to Pain Trail Half Marathon will be held. Over 700 runners are registered to compete in the 13.1-mile race, starting at 9am at the Thomas Paine Cottage Museum in New Rochelle (the first Paine in the race's name). Runners will follow the Leatherstocking Trail east through the Town of Mamaroneck, travel north through Saxon Woods Park, and then travel along the Hutchison River Bridle path to Eastchester where the race continues through Twin Lakes Park and Nature Study Woods. The Race ends at the track at New Rochelle High School where medals are awarded. Volunteers and local police will temporarily close roads along the course for the runners and your patience is appreciated. If anyone is interested in volunteering or coming out to cheer on the runners, more information and a race map can be found on the Paine to Pain website at www.painetopain.com. • On Sunday October 16th, the Town of Mamaroneck will host a Repair Cafe at the Mamaroneck Senior Center at 1288 Boston Post Road from 1 pm — 5pm. If you are interested in being a volunteer fixer, to help make repairs free of charge, please contact me at supervisor@townofmamaroneck.org. Those visiting the Repair Cafe are invited to bring their broken items from home (Toasters, lamps, hair dryers, clothes, toys, crockery, costume jewelry, electronic equipment). Anything that is broken, not working, or that can be mended, and can be carried in by one person is welcome. The fixers will try their best. Finally, I would like to wish those who observe, a sweet new year. The next item on the agenda is public hearings. Public Hearing(s) The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows: 1. Filming and Videotaping Law The Town Board deferred this public hearing to the Town Board meeting on October 3, 2022, to allow for the posting of the correct version of this proposed new law. 2. Update in the Regulation of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities The Town Board cancelled and deferred this public hearing to allow the Planning Board to provide comment. The public hearing will be rescheduled once the review is completed, and any comments have been incorporated. Resident Comments Supervisor Elkind Eney asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board, and there was no one. Staff Comments/ Presentations 1. Chief Creazzo — Town of Mamaroneck Police Department, Chief's Report, 2"d Quarter 2022 The following is a breakdown of some of the activities of the department from April 1 to June 30, 2022. Overall Activity Total Calls 2863 Criminal Cases 61 Auto Accidents 46 (40 no injury, 6 minor injury) Medical Service Calls 135 This quarter was focused on Officer training. Our Officers participated in a wide variety of training topics. Most notable, we have implemented the use of Tasers in this quarter. All patrol Officers are now equipped with this less-than-lethal option. I'll talk a bit more about training in a moment. In terms of crime, property crimes, particularly larcenies from vehicles account for much of our criminal activity. These are crimes of opportunity that can best be countered by vigilance. The best defense is to remove the opportunity. Lock your doors, install exterior lighting, keep valuables locked up and out of sight, secure personal information. We have taken several stolen vehicles report. Again, a crime of opportunity. Lock your cars. In the last two to three years, many of the cars have been recovered in Newark, NJ, Bridgeport and Waterbury, CT. A few have been abandoned locally as well. In early May, two of our Officers assigned to the midnight shift arrested two Bronx residents who were in possession of a stolen vehicle. Training Activity The members of the Department completed 1234.5 hours of training this quarter. Some of the training included: • Active Shooter Response — 336 hours • Principled Policing 1/Domestic Violence — 296 hours • Taser Certification — 336 hours • First-Line Supervision — 120 hours • Community Resource Off icer- 40 hours • Unified Response Training — 24 hours • 911 Diversion Training — 16 Hours Other topics included Armorers Course, Instructor Courses, Autism training. Community Outreach/Events • Our Child Passenger Safety Seat Technicians installed 13 seats in the second quarter. Any resident can set up an appointment for a seat installation by phone or email. The registration form is posted on the Department Website. • We sent Police Officer Jen Guski to Community Resource Officer training in April. Officer Guski will be the main point of contact for our community engagement initiatives. • On May 6th, members of the Department participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run. Our leg of the run encompassed Boston Post Road and Mamaroneck Avenue all the way out to the Saxon Woods Pool. The entire run spanned from New Rochelle to Peekskill. The event was in support of the Special Olympics. Supervisor Elkind Eney was seen dodging the raindrops to cheer our Officers on, which was greatly appreciated. • On May 21st, Officer Guski participated in the Murray Avenue School fair. • On June 10th, Officers were challenged to a dodge ball game by the graduating 8th grade class of Saints John and Paul School. They won two of three of the dodge ball matches. They did not fare so well in the tug-o-war competition. All involved had a good time and as always, the Saints John and Paul School was a gracious host. • Youth Detective LaRosa and several other Officers attended the graduation ceremonies at the elementary schools and Hommocks Middle School as well. Miscellaneous In April we promoted Rui Sandiaes to Lieutenant and Matt Rice to Sergeant. Both are serving in their new roles within the Patrol Division. The mobile phones that have been placed in the patrol vehicles have proven to be a worthy investment. They have been used numerous times for documentation purposes and Officers have used the translator capabilities on several occasions. Additionally, the County is undertaking a project to use cell phones during multi-jurisdictional events. Our Mobile Computing project remains in progress. We have received all the equipment except for the docking stations. Unfortunately supply chain delays put the estimated delivery in to October. Once the docking stations are received, we will proceed with installation and implementation. We continue to diligently work with our partners at Lexipol on the policy manual rewrite. We have roughly 100 policies updated, and we have published about 40 policies that are now in effect. That work will continue until complete. The project is time consuming however the goal is to have the manual completed and fully published by the end of the year. We are on track to meet that goal. Additionally, we are in the early stages of the New York State accreditation process. Progress continues this important project. The third quarter encompasses the summer months. Vacations and other forms of time off are popular during this time of year. As a result, we will be scaling back on training until the Fall. The Department as always will remain vigilant to ensure the safety of our community. Board of Fire Commissioners 1.

Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP criteria. These criteria,including adoption of the FIS report and FIRM,and the modifications made by this LOW,are the minimum requirements for continued NFIP participation and do not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements to which the regulations apply. COMMUNITY REMINDERS We based this determination on the I-percent-annual-chance stillwater elevations computed in the FIS for your community. A comprehensive restudy of your community's flood hazards could establish greater flood hazards in this area. Your community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by Federal and/or State/Commonwealth law have been obtained. State/Comm anwealth or community officials,based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety,may set higher standards for construction or may limit development in floodplain areas. If your State/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria,those criteria take precedence over the minimum NF1P requirements. We will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users,such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders,instead,the community will serve as a repository for the new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information in this LOMR by preparing a news release for publication in your community's newspaper that describes the revision and explains how your community will provide the data and help interpret the NFIP maps. In that way,interested persons,such as property owners,insurance agents,and mortgage lenders,can benefit from the information. This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional Information regarding this determination.

Washington,D.C.20472 4Hu Se� LETTER OF MAP REVISION DETERMINATION DOCUMENT(CONTINUED) Because the FIS report establishing the BFEs for your community has been completed,certain additional requirements must be met under Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,as amended,within 6 months from the date of this letter. Prior to the effective date of this revision your community is requited,as a condition of continued eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP), to adopt or show evidence of adoption of floodplain management regulations that meet the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d)of the enclosed NFtP regulations(44 CFR 59,etc.). These standards are the minimum requirements and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. It must be emphasized that all the standards specified in Paragraph 60.3(d)of the NFIP regulations must be enacted in a legally enforceable document. This includes adoption of the current effective FIS report and FIRM to which the regulations apply,and other modifications made by this map revision. Some of the standards should already have been enacted by your community in order to establish initial eligibility in the NFIP. Your community can meet any additional requirements by taking one of the following actions: 1. Amending existing regulations to incorporate any additional requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d). 2. Adopting all the standards of Paragraph 60.3(d)into one new,comprehensive set of regulations. 3. Showing evidence that regulations have previously been adopted that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of Paragraph 60.3(d). Communities that fail to enact the necessary floodplain management regulations will be suspended from participation in the NFIP and subject to the prohibitions contained in Section 202(a)of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973(Public Law 93-234)as amended. We have designated a Consultation Coordination Officer(CCO)to assist your community. The CCO will be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA.
