SUPERVISOR’S REPORT
Welcome to the June 8, 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 5:00pm, which is open
to the Public.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
I want to update you about the Comprehensive Plan.
Our first Listening Sessions held on May 4th and May 24th were a tremendous success! Over
200 residents attended to give us their ideas of how they envision the future of the Town of
Mamaroneck. Topics such as recreation and open space, housing needs and choices,
transportation, community services, economic development and more were discussed with
Town Board members, our consulting team and Steering Committee members. If you have not
yet had an opportunity to express your views, there will be more listening sessions scheduled.
This is just the beginning, and our aim is to give you ample opportunities to make your voice
heard. After all, this is your Town!
ST
JUNE 1 IS AN IMPORTANT DATE, AND YOU’LL SEE WHY
Leaf Blower Ban in Effect:
The Town's gasoline-powered leaf blower ban goes into effect from June 1st through
September 30th. If you utilize the services of a gardener or landscaper, please remind them of
this regulation.
Hurricane Season:
Officially begins in the Atlantic Ocean on June 1. Now is the time to prepare, not when a storm
is bearing down and there isn’t a D battery to be found in Westchester County. We have
information on our website on the ambulance district page and there are other websites such
as NOAA which have pertinent information.
Westchester County:
The County has taken two steps to help mitigate the effects of high gasoline prices:
1. Bee line bus fares have been waived from June 1-September 6
2. From June 1-August 31 there is a cap on the County’s collection of sales tax on gas
purchases equal to the cost of the tax with gas at $3.00 per gallon. Anything over $3.00
per gallon is tax free
The County is assessing other possible fees or costs to residents that could be waived in
order to provide relief toward the impacts of inflation.
Community Choice Aggregation:
As you may recall, representatives of Sustainable Westchester appeared at the April 6 Board
meeting to present the latest information about Community Choice Aggregation, a program
where residents of the member communities are bundled together to purchase electric power,
3
June 8, 2022
taking advantage of economies of scale. Due to the volatility of the market, Sustainable
Westchester was unable to secure a satisfactory electricity supply contract to commence
following the expiration of the current contract on June 30. All current customers will be
switched back to Con Edison utility supply starting on their first meter reading after June 30.
There will be no interruption in service. Sustainable Westchester is continuing to work on the
program. We will keep you posted on any progress to reinstate the program.
Congressman Bowman:
rd
On June 3, I had the pleasure of giving our Congressman, Jamaal Bowman a tour of the Town
last Friday. We spent an hour driving around. This gave me the opportunity to discuss the
needs of our community with him.
Sanitation Commission Meeting:
th
On June 7, I attended a Sanitation Commission Meeting where we accepted the resignation of
Steve Altieri who has been the Superintendent of Sanitation since 1990 and appointed
Meredith Robson to succeed him. I want to thank Steve for all he has done for the Commission
and am happy the Commission will be in such good hands with Meredith.
Events:
LGCA Annual Meeting: On May 23rd I was pleased to have the opportunity to speak at the
annual LGCA meeting. I enjoyed speaking to the residents and addressing their concerns about
the issues that affect the Larchmont Gardens area of the Town. Flooding was, of course, a hot
topic at the meeting.
Community Counseling Center Reopening: On June 1, some of us attended the grand reopening
of the Community Counseling Center after it had been seriously damaged during Hurricane Ida.
The Community Counseling Center provides a vital service in our community supporting local
children and families. We’re glad the doors are open again! Thank you to Dr. Mark Levy and
the entire staff of the CCC for all you do for our community.
thth
Senior Art Show: On June 4, Abby and I attended the opening of the 48 Annual Senior Art
show at the Oresman Gallery of the Library. The art show features paintings in every medium
by Seniors attending the art class at our Senior Center, taught by Patricia Miner- Sutherland
who has been teaching the class since 1974. The works of art are incredible!
th
Mamaroneck Historic Society: On June 5, some of us attended an event at the 1816 School
House at Harbor Island Honoring John Pritts and Gail Boyle who spearhead the effort to raise
money to save the eight Historic Murals that had been displayed at MHS for decades and were
in danger of being destroyed or covered up as a result of a construction project at the High
School. Kudos to John and Gail for preserving our history.
Several Memorial Day Events: Various members of the Board and I attended several events
commemorating Memorial Day, It was my honor to attend the 75th Anniversary Rededication
Ceremony at Kemper Memorial Park outside of Mamaroneck High School on May 25th. Along
with Town Board members and our First Responders, I marched in the Town of
th
Mamaroneck/Village of Larchmont Parade on May 26, as well as American Legion Post 90's
th
Parade in the Village of Mamaroneck on the 29 . In addition to Post 90, VFW David Potts Jr.
Post 1156 and American Legion Post 347 also hosted observances in our community. I'd like to
personally thank Commanders Bill Goodenough, Frank Maresca and Al Bender who each
organize and host respectful ceremonies in remembrance of the courageous men and women
who did not return home.
Farewell to Rob Lunde and Denise Cookingham
This month we said goodbye and happy retirement to long-time Hommocks Park Ice Rink
General Manager, Rob Lunde.
4
June 8, 2022
Rob began his tenure with the Town in 1978 when he was hired as a camp counselor and tennis
court attendant. In the years that followed, Rob held positions as concession stand attendant,
skate guard and assistant night manager before being promoted to General Manager in 1990.
Though there have been many rink improvements that Rob oversaw over the years, the most
significant was the complete upgrade of the rink's mechanical systems, ice mat, lighting,
dasherboards, and bleachers in 2014, as well as the construction of six new locker rooms
dedicated in the fall of 2021.
Through his over four decades at the rink, Rob created a community that drew generations the
rink. He was loved by residents and staff alike. Rob was known for his dedication to the rink
and its users and his "can do" attitude. As just one example, he worked long hours by himself
to install the locker room benches so the locker rooms would be ready in time for the ribbon
cutting.
Enjoy your retirement, Rob, you will be truly missed!!
Also retiring this month is Denise Cookingham who has held the position of Town of
Mamaroneck Court Clerk since January 1994 after working as an Assistant Clerk in the Town of
Greenburgh's Justice Court. As Court Clerk for almost three decades, Denise has been
responsible for the daily activities and administration of the Court which handles a wide array
of cases, including criminal, civil, small claims and landlord/tenant matters, as well as Town
ordinance violations. All who work -- or come into contact -- with Denise will tell you she
displays a meticulous attention to detail and is efficient and professional in all her duties. We
all wish Denise a much deserved and wonderful retirement.

RESIDENT COMMENTS
Mrs. Anne Goode, of 19 Jason Lane, addressed the Board regarding the Teen Travel camp having been
cancelled abruptly on Tuesday. It was just three weeks before the start of camp and earlier that
morning camp forms had been requested. Mrs. Goode finds it problematic that Recreation did not ask
the Town Board or the Recreation Committee for ideas. She suggested that Recreation could have
looked at additional alternatives, perhaps working together with another municipality. She suggested
that if Recreation had any inkling that the program would not run, they should have shared that with
all the parents sooner. For perspective, if a parent would have changed their mind on Tuesday, they
