Presentation - Sustainability Collaborative Climate Emergency Declaration Response Report (See Attachment A) June Wallach and Karen Khor presented the Sustainability Collaborative Climate Emergency Declaration Response Report to the Town Board. They started with an overview of the Climate Emergency Declaration, originally adopted by the Mamaroneck Town Board in November 2021 . Ms. Wallach and Ms. Khor presented the Collaborative's accomplishments over the past year, an overview of their current work, and provided a summary of how they intend to move forward with the overall goal of benefiting the well-being and safety of all Mamaroneck Town residents. The Sustainability Collaborative presented to the Town Board what they considered the highest impact, most achievable goals, using the available resources as best possible. This included three or four high priority recommendations for each of the three areas of focus: quality of life, sustainability, and resilience. The Town Board thanked the Collaborative for the education that they extend the Board, for their hard work in the Town, and for the Collaborative's concise presentation this year. In addition, the Board suggested the Sustainability Collaborative do a similar presentation to the public at a future Town Board meeting, in which the Collaborative might highlight their progress and gain additional community support. 2. Discussion - Composition of Filming Appeals Committee Town Board October 19, 2022 After a brief discussion of the two-member appointment of the Filming Appeals Committee, the Town Board requested that Town Attorney Maker appoint the Town Supervisor and any other available Town Board Member selected by the Supervisor at the time of the appeal. This will allow the greatest flexibility for the committee to convene in a timely manner. As explained by Attorney Maker, this will require a change to the current law. The Town Attorney will update the local law for review at a future Town Board meeting. At this time, there are no pending applications so there is no immediate need to appoint a committee. 3. Presentation of 2023 Tentative Budget (See Attachment B) Administrator Robson presented an overview of the Town of Mamaroneck 2023 Tentative Budget. Total Expenses budgeted equal $58.9 million, which is an increase of $5.8 million -- including an increase of$2.5 million in capital improvement spending and $3.3 million in operating expenses. Revenue increased by the same amount to fund budget. Administrator Robson highlighted the 2023 budget risks which include uncertainty over market forces, sales tax, interest income and mortgage tax. The Administrator noted that mortgage tax actuals for the past two months have been down 40%, and if that trend continues may result in a budget shortfall of up to $300,000 for 2022. Comptroller Yogman then provided a breakdown of the 2023 tentative budget, noting the largest changes in revenue and expenses, emphasizing that expenses have increased nearly 11%. The Comptroller highlighted the tax rate has dropped almost 2%, with most assessments increasing 6 to 7% in value. Administrator Robson wrapped up by highlighting the many budget investments planned for 2023, mentioning how critical it is to maintain our capital infrastructure in the Town. The Board then discussed several options for the date and time of the next budget meeting. 4. Additions to Regular Meeting Agenda There were no additions to the Regular Meeting Agenda. 5.

RESIDENT COMMENTS Deputy Supervisor Katz asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Town Board. Mr. Kevin Crowe representing the Larchmont Gardens Civic Association had a few questions regarding the building code. First, he wanted to confirm that the moratorium on chipping is no longer on. The Board confirmed there is currently no moratorium on chipping. In addition, Mr. Crowe noted, there had been some discussion in the past of including the basement in the floor area ratio (or FAR) of the total area of the home. Mr. Crowe asked if that idea was still being entertained. Deputy Katz responded that she thought that it might develop as a part of the comprehensive plan. Deputy Katz added that part of the Comprehensive Plan would be to address the character of the neighborhood, and part of that would include reviewing the building code. The Board agreed it would be addressed. The Board suggested that Mr. Crowe include that suggestion in his comments to the Comprehensive Plan, in the upcoming public comment period. Mr. Kevin Crowe then thanked the Town Board and the Traffic Committee for the double yellow lines on Lakeside Drive at Myrtle Boulevard, noting that the Larchmont Gardens Civic Association believes that the lines will help slow reckless drivers. Lastly, Mr. Crowe introduced one of his neighbors from the Larchmont Gardens Civic Association, Ms. Marianne Hardart, who is the daughter of longtime resident Mrs. Nancy Hardart. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS 1. Call to Order Commissioner Katz called the Meeting to order, then on motion of Commissioner Fiddelman and seconded by Commissioner Nichinsky the Board of Fire Commissioners was unanimously declared open. Present were the following Members of the Commission: Commissioner: Abby Katz Commissioner: Sabrina Fiddelman Commissioner: Robin Nichinsky Absent were the following Members of the Commission: Commissioner: Jaine Elkind Eney Commissioner: Jeffery L. King 2. Fire Claims (See Attachment C) Moved by Commissioner Fiddelman, seconded by Commissioner Nichinsky Town Board October 19, 2022 Resolved that the Board of Fire Commissioners hereby approves the attached list of fire claims. Carried 3. Other Fire Department Business There being no further business to come before the Fire Commission, on motion of Commissioner Fiddelman, Seconded by Commissioner Nichinsky, the Commission unanimously adjourned and the Town Board reconvened. AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN 1. Set Public Hearing - Contraction of the Mailing area for Notification in Land Use Applications Law Moved by Councilwoman Fiddelman, seconded by Councilwoman Nichinsky Resolved that the Town Board hereby sets a public hearing for "Contraction of the Mailing area for Notification in Land Use Applications Law" for the November 2, 2022 Town Board meeting. Carried Attorney Maker explained the proposed local law that, if adopted, would make the range for mailing notice of land use applications a uniform 300 feet. The proposed law was a result of a discussion at a Board of Appeals meeting when that Board realized that under certain circumstances, the current range to mailing notice of 1 ,500 feet in the R-15, the R-20, the R-30 and the R-50 districts can result in over 300 mailings. The Town Building Inspector researched the notification distances in nearby communities and found the range for mailings varied from 200 to 500 feet for use variances in Larchmont. The Building Inspector and Board of Appeals would like to see the notification by mail range become a uniform 300 feet. That is the distance for notification by mail in all the other zoning districts. The Town Board agreed that similar to the reduction in the fees for the renewal of building permits, approved earlier in the evening, this proposed law makes life a little easier for Town residents. The Town Planning and Zoning Board support the change (see Attachments D and E). The Town Board discussed the proposed new Town law and unanimously determined that they have no objection to the adoption of the law, so would therefore set the Public Hearing. 2. Authorization - Housing Authority Agreement - Administrative/Technical/Clerical Support Administrator Robson explained the need to help support the Housing Authority with administrative, technical, and clerical support. The Housing Authority approved the agreement at their meeting on Monday, October 3, 2022, pending the Town Board's approval. Moved by Councilwoman Nichinsky, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman Resolved that the Town Board hereby approves the agreement with the Mamaroneck Housing Authority for administrative, technical, and clerical services and hereby authorizes the Town Administrator to execute the agreement and any related documents necessary to carry out its implementation. Town Board October 19, 2022 Carried 3. Presentation of 2023 Tentative Budget Administrator Robson presented an overview of the Town of Mamaroneck 2023 Tentative Budget. Total Expense budgeted equals $58.9 million, which is an increase of $5.8 million -- however nearly half of that is in capital projects that we anticipate funding through the budget. There is also an increase on the operating side of $3.3 million, which includes compensation/contractual obligations increase of $687,000, health insurance increase of $542,000, retirement $155,000 and even vehicle fuel increases of$154,000. Similarly, utilities are anticipated to increase $151,000, liability insurance $122,000, and garbage collection services $182,000 (the Sanitation Commission still needs to approve). Interfund transfers are estimated to increase $208,000. On the revenue side, which supports those increases, we are appropriating for capital project purposes $2.8 million. Non-tax revenue is expected to increase by $1 .4 million, tax levy to increase by $1.1 million, and then the fund balance operating, for the day-to-day expenses, is expected to increase $424,000. Administrator Robson noted the 2023 budget risks, including the interest income which is estimated at the current rate of 3 percent. Over the past several months we have seen a decrease in the mortgage tax, but we have maintained the mortgage tax at $1 .6 million. Actuals for the last two months have indicated a 40 percent decline from current revenue levels. If that decline continues, there may be a budget shortfall of $200,000 to 300,000. Sales tax may be slightly higher if consumer purchasing remains the same. With market forces at play, we are at the same jeopardy as others with planning and purchasing items, so that may affect the budget. Comptroller Yogman then provided a breakdown of the 2023 tentative budget. The Comptroller highlighted the three large changes in revenue in the budget, including Property Taxes ($1 .079 million); Departmental Income ($983,000 increase); and the Appropriated Fund Balance ($3.3 million). The Comptroller then highlighted the largest changes in expenses, including the $1.7 million increase in Personnel Services (which covers actual obligations for salaries and benefits). Other than Personal Services (which includes fuel and utilities) increases $1 .09 million. The largest increase of $2.7 million is in Capital and Interfund Transfers, which is where we are paying for projects on a cash basis. Total expenses increased 10.87% over the 2022 Fiscal Year Budget Adopted. The Comptroller then reviewed the Fund Balance will be at $14.7 million at end of 2023, noting that we will be at 25% of the operating expenses of the Town, so we are in compliance with our Fund Balance policy of between 15 and 25%. The Comptroller continued the tax rate will be going down to 5.61 in 2023 from 5.72 in 2022, almost a 2% decrease. The assessed values in the Town increased 1 .91% and the average value of a home increase from $1.3 to $1 .4 million, equating to a tax increase of$418. The 2023 proposed tax levy increase of 3.71% offers the Town $1 ,079,125 to support the basic costs as well as the capital investment necessary to maintain the Town. Administrator Robson noted that the 2023 budget provides for capital investments, critical to upgrade and maintain infrastructure and move the community forward. The Administrator reviewed the 2023 budget investments including telecommunication upgrades, the improvement and expansion of the outdoor pool at the Hommocks, road resurfacing, heavy equipment, water system and stormwater improvements, technology investments, and others. The Town of Mamaroneck Preliminary Budget will be presented for the Town Board in December and is posted on the website. Town Board October 19, 2022 Please see attached presentation.

Ban use of gas-powered leaf blowers for municipal, commercial and private residential use on a year -round basis. • Studies of two-stroke and four-stroke gas powered leaf blowers show that they produce emissions of up to 7 times the equivalent of driving a pickup truck. • "Some produce more than 100 decibels of low-frequency, wall-penetrating sound — or as much noise as a plane taking off— at levels that can cause tinnitus and hearing loss with long exposure," Audubon Magazine, Spring 2021 • Approximately 5 pounds of particulate matter per leaf blower per hour are blown into the air and can take hours and even days to settle. This particulate matter precipitates asthma attacks, exacerbates allergies, and can cause lung cancer."Sep 18, 2021.

Add native plants and shrubs to Town properties. • Adding more native plants and shrubs will lower greenhouse gas emissions while improving resilience to extremes like flooding. All plants remove carbon dioxide from the air and store the carbon. • Because of their deep root systems, native pants store more carbon than non-native species. • The deep root systems of native pants also increase the soil's capacity to store water, so native plants can significantly reduce water runoff and, consequently, flooding. • Our ecosystem benefits from native plants — stabilizing soil, filtering water, purifying air and supporting wildlife. Using native plants on sites they are best adapted to can have significant benefits to mitigating environmental stresses, such as extreme temperatures and drought, to retain productive lands for both agriculture and wildlife.

Provide recycling bins next to all trash receptacles in local government buildings, public places and Town events. • Providing these bins will increase the volume of materials that are recycled. This improved participation in recycling helps to save energy (reduced amount of virgin materials to be extracted, transported and processed). • Offers a convenient way for residents to participate in the`gown's recycling efforts. A University of British Columbia study showed that most people KNOW that they should recycle and that conveniently placed recycling bins for consumers to use increased recycling by 70%. • Recycling saves energy required to manufacture virgin materials: 95% savings for aluminum, 80% for plastics, 75% for glass.

Expand access to food scrap drop-off to increase participation and food scrap diversion from waste. • Increased participation in food scrap recycling increases compost which is key to storing carbon in poor soils, promoting uptake of carbon dioxide by plants, and providing other environmental benefits. • Increased participation leads to increased savings for the Town for garbage disposal. Diverting this portion of the waste stream cuts back on tipping fees for local governments and reduces their contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from waste. m (D ti 0 rn ca Recommendations - Sustainability 5.

Providing curbside pickup increases food scrap recycling into compost which lowers GHG emissions by improving carbon storage in poor soils and plant growth. Compost reduces the need for fertilizers and helps offset GHG emissions. • When food scraps are sent to the incinerator, they reduce the efficiency of the incinerator because they contain water and therefore don't burn well. • Increased resident participation in food scrap recycling results in cost savings for the Joint Sanitation Commission as the County's RFSTAD program provides a discounted tipping fee for food scraps that is 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of garbage. Cost savings from food scrap recycling frees up funds to improve sanitation services. m (D 0 rn ca Recommendations - Sustainability e��7h�l?,l 6.

Encourage use of permeable paving by Town and residents to reduce stormwater run-off and flooding by allowing water to infiltrate the surface to ground below. • Permeable pavements can reduce ponding and local flooding by infiltrating stormwater on-site. • Permeable pavement can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional pavement. Although it typically costs more than traditional pavement to construct initially, savings in maintenance and stormwater management costs can make it more economical in the long term (US EPA, 2013). • Permeable pavements generally need less road salt or deicing materials because the rapid surface draining reduces the occurrence of freezing puddles and black ice.

Town of Mamaroneck to phase out oil and gas use. • Phasing out oil and gas use in Town facilities will lower municipal greenhouse gas emissions, eliminate municipal air pollution sources and align the Town with NYS-mandated climate emergency response goals. • No form of fossil fuel use is considered sustainable. The rate at which we use it is many times greater than it can be created, All fossil fuels produce greenhouse gasses such as CO2 emissions when burned. Recently approved by CSC reviewers,the current Town GHG Inventory pinpoints main sources of emissions. NThe next step,for which CSC provides technical assistance,is to produce a Town Climate Action Plan that creates a ~ pathway for phasing out fossil fuels. 0 rn ca Section 3: Green Infrastructure Program Green infrastructure uses nature-based solutions to manage wet weather impacts such as stormwater run- off. Methods include bioswales, rain gardens, rain barrels, permeable paving, green roofs, green streets and green alleys. The Sustainability Collaborative has determined that the most effective, near term and high impact Green Infrastructure Program recommendation for implementation by the Town is our proposal for preservation and expansion of the tree canopy. The toolkit presented to the Town for this purpose includes: • White paper establishing the value and imperative of restoring the Town's tree canopy • Suggested revisions to the town tree code • Maps of suggested planting locations • Recommended native tree species for the Town.

Our Town was recognized by the NY State Dept of Environmental Conservation as the only municipality to be recertified at Bronze level in the Climate Smart Communities program in March 2022. • Town Greenhouse Gas Inventory. This document was completed and approved by CSC reviewers to identify significant sources of the Town's emissions. The next step is development of a Town climate action plan based on its GHG inventory with defined target(s) and implementation measures to reduce the Town's GHG emissions which aligns with its Climate Emergency Declaration resolution. • Grid Rewards, Community Solar. Promoted opportunities for residents as well as the municipality to enroll in clean energy and energy/cost savings programs. CEC grants were awarded for these campaigns. -• Hommocks Solar Installation. Community solar built on top of the Hommocks ice rink building was completed and marketed to local LMI residents. W W O W Section 5: Highlights of CSC Actions & Accomplishments • Climate change education and engagement. The Sustainability Collaborative continues to organize and promote local events, presentations and on-site programs to help residents learn about climate actions they can take in their daily lives. • Energy use benchmarking. The Town continues to collect and report data on energy use for all municipal buildings measuring one hundred (100) square feet or more. • Electric-vehicle infrastructure. EV chargers were installed for public access. v• Energy audits. Audits of town facilities and street lighting were completed, and measures were `D taken to retrofit/upgrade to reduce energy use and costs as well as associated GHG emissions. W .p 0 rn W Town Board October 19, 2022 Section 5: CSC Technical Assistance • The Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Program provides the Town and its Sustainability Collaborative volunteers with free expert consultative technical assistance through the Hudson Valley Regional Council (HVRC), including guidance on the CSC actions the Town could consider taking, requirements for CSC approval, and more. o Jim Yienger of Climate Action Associates LLC provided his interpretations and analysis of the Town's energy use data as part of the Town's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory approved in September 2022. o Next step is to develop a Town Climate Action Plan (CAP) to reduce carbon emissions. HVRC offers new technical assistance to support this, tentatively scheduled for early 2023. o Martin Schooping of New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) conducted a site visit of Hommocks ice rink on June 8, 2022 and gathered information from Town staff to assess the current ice rink refrigeration system condition and operational efficiency. NYSP2I is in the process of developing a proposal for the Town to mitigate and lower the climate impact of the ice rink system. CD W cm 0 w w Section 5: New York State Grant Opportunities • The Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Grant Program is an annual, competitive 50/50 matching grant program for certified municipalities to implement projects focused on climate change adaptation and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. CSC Grant Program details are published around late spring and applications are accepted only through the Consolidated Funding Application with due date of end July. • The Municipal Zero-emission Vehicle (ZEV) Infrastructure Grants from NYSERDA provide rebates to cities, towns, villages, and counties of the State of New York to encourage and enable ZEV adoption by municipalities for fleet use as well as install electric vehicle charging and hydrogen fuel filling station components primarily for public use. Applications are accepted only through the New York State Grants m Gateway with due date of end September. cn m W M 0 rn w Town Board October 19, 2022 In conclusion • The Climate Emergency Declaration adopted by the Town of Mamaroneck in November 2021 underscores our municipal leaders' recognition of the urgent need for action to reduce carbon emissions. • The Declaration assigns specific responsibilities to the Sustainability Collaborative. This draft report documents the Collaborative's responses to the Declaration, including use of the New York State DEC's Climate Smart Communities (CSC) framework as a basis for planning and prioritizing climate actions. This systematic approach requires on-going monitoring and proactive involvement to stay ahead of points lost as actions expire and evolve. The Collaborative has built a sub-committee of members and volunteers dedicated to advancing this effort. • While the Town's CSC bronze certification represents achievement, it also provides resources that the Sustainability Collaborative is dedicated to more fully uncovering and utilizing. CSC grant funding and Ttechnical assistance are available to assist the Town in advancing towards a higher level of �n certification and in building momentum towards reducing GHG in accordance with the Climate Act. m W o The Sustainability Collaborative looks forward to working with the Town to increase a, resilience,sustainability and quality of life. w Town Board October 19, 2022 Attachment B TUJ`WN OF MAMARONECK 2023 TENTATIVE BUDGET r i 2023 Budget Drivers Total Expense Budget of $58.9 million is an increase of $5.8 million: ➢ Capital Improvement spending increase of $2.5 million ➢ Operating Expense Increase of $3.3 million ✓ Compensation -Contractual Obligations of $687k ✓ State Mandated Increases • Health Insurance - Budget increase of $542 • Retirement - Budget increase of $155k ✓ Vehicle Fuel - Budget increase of $154k ✓ Utilities- Budgetary increase of $151k ✓ Liability Insurance-Budget increase of $122k ✓ Garbage Collection Services- Budget increase of $182k ✓ Interfund Transfers — Budget Increase of $208k 2 Town Board October 19, 2022 2023 Funding Revenue increased to fund the expense budget increase of $5.8 million: ✓Fund Balance Appropriation-Capital $2.8m ✓ Non-Tax Revenue $1.4m ✓Tax Levy Increase $1.1m ✓Fund Balance Appropriation- Operating $424k 3 2023 Budget Risk ■ Interest Income- Budget estimates at current rate of 3.0% ■ Mortgage Tax-Housing sales have slowed down.
