CALL TO ORDER The Work Session of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Elkind Eney. Moved by Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilwoman Nichinsky the Work Session unanimously opened at 5.00 p.m. Carried WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. Discussion - 5G Town Attorney Maker reported reaching out to Hank Menkes, at the request of the Town Board. Mr. Menkes recommended that the definition of Base Station be retained in paragraph 4, as presented at the July 13th Town Board Meeting. The Town Board agreed to set a public hearing to be held on September 7th for the proposed Wireless Communications "5G" Law. 2. Discussion - Filming Attorney Maker presented revisions to the Filmmaking Law. The Town Board further discussed the seven-day requirement for an application and agreed it is acceptable to start. The Board agreed to remove the requirement that the applicant list all license plate numbers for all vehicles used, as well as to remove the words 'in the administrator's sole judgement'. If an application is denied, the applicant may then appeal. In the case of no consensus on the approval of a filming permit, the Board agreed an application would not be approved. The Board discussed and decided that any portion of a day filming will be considered a full day regardless of when one starts and stops filming. The Board then considered some sort of discretion allowed for unusual events, in order to extend or allow an Town Board August 17, 2022 extension (similar to the Building Inspector allowance in the Rock Removal Law). The Board agreed there would be a discretion allowed for an unusual event with a maximum extension of 3 days. The Board wondered if the insurance amount of$1 million was an industry standard, so the Town Administrator agreed to review with the Town's insurance company. 3. Review - Standard Work Day Reporting and Resolution - Jaine Elkind Eney (Revised) Town Clerk Allison May noted that a correction had been made to Town Supervisor Elkind Eney's total of hours worked, as well as a change to the calculation by New York State, both resulting in a change to the Town Supervisor's Record of Activities Result. Therefore, the Standard Work Day Reporting and Resolution was revised and is ready for the Board's approval. Once approved, it will be posted for 30 days, then resubmitted to NYSLRS. 4. Review - BID TA-22-12 - Waterproofing and Rehabilitation of Myrtle Boulevard Parking Deck The Town Administrator presented the results of the bid and the timing of the project. The Town Board agreed to add to the awarding of the bid to tonight's agenda. 5. Discussion - Q2 2022 Capital Budget Report Comptroller Yogman updated the Board on the Town's Capital Budget, noting that in total there are $58.2 million of open projects. 6. Discussion - Q2 2022 Operating Budget Report Comptroller Yogman reported the Town of Mamaroneck is doing well in the 2nd Quarter, particularly with mortgage tax and sales tax continuing to come in steadily. Pointing to the ice rink revenue exceeding budget significantly, Supervisor Elkind Eney wondered if prices at the Hommocks Rink were now too high for an entire family to go and skate on a weekend. Supervisor Elkind Eney suggested working to increase rink usage when the rink is fallow, rather than continuing to raise prices for current users. The Town Supervisor requested a review of Hommocks Rink usage to help identify alternative programs to build revenue. 7. Discussion - Classification and Compensation Study Town Administrator Robson presented the need for a system to review salaries and increases for the twenty-two management and non-union employees of the Town. In order to attract and retain qualified employees, and to provide them with competitive compensation and benefits, the Town Administrator suggested that the Town needs a process to determine where we stand and how to move forward. The Town Administrator proposed that GovHR be hired to provide both an internal and external review at a cost of $16,800. The Board discussed and agreed to add the authorization to tonight's agenda. 8. Discussion - Pool Improvement Project - SAM Grant Administrator Robson presented the SAM Grant application, explaining that rather than focusing solely on the kiddy pool/splash pad, the Town now plans to pursue a master plan for the entire Pool complex. The Town already has verbal approval from the participating agencies for this type of change to the grant application. Comptroller Yogman added that we will continue to apply for other grants to help fund additional portions of the project cost. 9. Authorization - Pool Complex Design- SEQRA Determination Town Administrator Robson noted that the proposed SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review) Determination resolution declares that the Hommocks Pool project is a Type II Action with no impact under the New York State Environment Quality Review Act (SEAR) and is required to proceed with the site study. The Board agreed to authorize during the Regular Meeting. Town Board August 17, 2022 10. Temporary Suspension of Parking Laws for Lot B Renovations Administrator Robson introduced the temporary suspension of parking laws, explaining that in order to allow those with Lot B parking permits to park elsewhere during Lot B construction, we must temporarily suspend parking restrictions. The Board agreed to add to the agenda for later tonight with the addition of holders of Washington Square Area (WSA) residential parking permits also being entitled to park 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the streets listed in the resolution during construction of Lot B. 11. Updates Supervisor Elkind Eney updated the Board on an opportunity from PACE University's Land Use Leadership Alliance (LULA) for a free analysis of an affordable housing site. LULA would provide an entire development plan as part of the process. The other municipalities that have been offered the opportunity have already agreed to the project, including Dobbs Ferry, Croton, Pleasantville, and Tarrytown. Supervisor Elkind Eney will forward the Town Board the email she received from LULA. Councilwoman Katz requested that 'Hazard Mitigation', on the Town website's 'Our Town, Our Future' page, be moved somewhere else on the website, as it seemed to detract from the focus on the Comprehensive Plan. Assistant to the Town Administrator Lindsey Luft explained that the 'Our Town, Our Future' page was meant for all future-focused items but agreed to try to find a way to highlight the Comprehensive Plan. Councilwoman Nichinsky asked about Comprehensive Plan participation. Assistant to the Town Administrator Lindsey Luft reported that the Town had received approximately 500 electronic and 50 hard-copy responses to the survey. The Assistant to the Town Administrator explained that the survey will continue until the end of September, with additional responses expected when the Mamaroneck Schools are back in session. Attorney Maker updated the Town Board on the property at 351 Orienta Avenue. Bankruptcy proceedings stalled progress briefly, but the court-appointed bankruptcy trustee agreed to a sale to generate a fund of money to pay the general creditors of Mr. Polombo. The floor for the sale is set at $890,000. 12. Executive Session Moved by Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman The Town Board entered into Executive Session to discuss the employment history of a particular individual. Carried Moved by Councilwoman Fiddelman, seconded by Councilwoman Nichinsky The Town Board resumed the Work Session. Carried 13. Readoption of the 2022 Water Project Bond Resolution The bond resolution adopted by the Town Board on June 8th for the cost of the water project increase and improvement of the facilities of the Water District No. 1 indicated the probable useful life of the water projects is 5 years rather than 40 years. This will affect the length of time the bonds can be issued. An updated bond resolution was provided by bond counsel to update the probably useful life to 40 years. The Board discussed briefly and agreed to adopt the revised bond resolution at tonight's Regular Meeting. Town Board August 17, 2022 14. Proposed 2022 Water Rate Increase The recommended rate change by WJWW was a 12 to 13% increase. Comptroller Yogman pointed out that water usage has declined to 4 billion gallons per year. So as water usage declines, she noted, the Town may need to increase rates more in order to offset those declines. WJWW recommended a water rate increase of 12% to Harrison and they approved a 12.8% increase. Comptroller Yogman suggested 12.75% and the Town Board agreed to add a water rate increase of 12.75% to tonight's agenda. 15. WJWW IMA for WIIA/IMG Drinking Water Project Grant Application Administrator Robson presented the IMA between the Town of Mamaroneck, Village of Mamaroneck, Town/Village of Harrison, and Westchester Joint Water Works related to a grant application for the design of a water filtration plant to comply with a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency order. The Board agreed to approve the IMA later tonight, as well as authorize the Town Administrator to sign the agreement. 16. Readoption of the 2022 Water Project Bond Resolution Comptroller Yogman explained that the bond resolution adopted by the Town Board on June 8th for the cost of the water project increase and improvement of the facilities of the Water District No. 1 indicated the probable useful life of the water project is 5 years, rather than 40 years. This affects the length of time the bonds that can be issued. An updated bond resolution was provided by Bond Counsel to update the useful life. The Board agreed to approve the revised resolution. 8:00 PM TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING SUPERVISOR'S REPORT Welcome to the August 17, 2022, meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck. The Town Board met today for a Work Session here in the Senior Center starting at 5:OOpm, which is open to the Public. Comprehensive Plan: We are in full swing with the Comprehensive Plan. This past month, our consultants were busy consolidating and analyzing all the public input received. The Comprehensive Plan Committee met with our consultants to listen to their preliminary findings, review the draft public survey, review the updated "Existing Conditions Report," and discuss future outreach. There will be one more pop-up public listening session at the remaining movie, Luca on September 9. We want to hear from you and want even more input. There is an online community needs survey which can be found on the home page of the Town Website. It summarizes what we have heard from the public thus far and seeks to gain further insight. 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. (pads: You might notice that all of us here have iPads, instead of reams of paper that we are constantly shuffling. Thanks to Town Administrator, Meredith Robson, who has dragged us kicking and screaming into the new Millennium. This system is more efficient and environmentally sustainable. Hommocks Fields: On July 21 , Councilman Jeffery L. King, Town Administrator Meredith Robson, and I met again with representatives of "Fields for Kids." They, along with other residents have expressed their concerns about the availability of fields for youth sports. We discussed exploring possibilities for the Hommocks fields and doing engineering studies to see what is possible. Town Board August 17, 2022 Tree Law: On July 20, the Town Board met to discuss a proposed modification to the Town's tree law. This came about in response to concerns expressed by residents about maintaining and enhancing the tree canopy in the Town. Our Tree Law regulates the removal of trees on private property. One of the changes the Board is considering is making the Tree Law apply to all lots in the Town, which currently is not the case. Road Resurfacing: It's that time of year again. The Town is about to embark on it's annual road resurfacing projects. Roads included in this contract are: • New Harmon Drive • Revere Road • Fifth Avenue • Madison Avenue • New Jefferson Street • Lafayette Road • Huguenot Drive • N Chatsworth Ave • E Valley Stream Road (TO BE DELAYED — POST E. VALLEY STREAM BRIDGE REPLACEMENT) • Washington Square The resurfacing should start at the end of August. Because we are bound by the availability of the Contractors, this is the same time frame that the project to waterproof and rehabilitate the deck on Myrtle Blvd will be underway. So, there will be a little pain and inconvenience for a short period of time. We are doing our best to minimize the impact as much as possible. Remember, soon enough you will be driving on new and improved roads, and all of the inconvenience will be but a memory. Traffic Safety: Just a reminder. We constantly get complaints about traffic safety—speeding and careless drivers. The "offenders" are often not people from out of Town, but our own residents speeding to make trains or other appointments, or just driving distracted. This is our community. PLEASE PLEASE Let's drive carefully for the safety of all of our residents. REMEMBER, school is starting in a couple of weeks and there will be many more pedestrians. Events: On July 14, 1 attended the Mamaroneck Chamber of Commerce Annual Barbegue at Hampshire County Club. It was impressive to see how robust the organization has become and to see how many new members they have recruited this year. They really provide invaluable support for, and connection among, the business Community. Tiki Invasion - On July 15, Harbor Island provided the perfect setting for the fifth annual Tiki Invasion. I attended with Councilwomen Abby Katz and Sabrina Fiddelman. The event, which returned after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, is hosted by LMC Media and the Village of Mamaroneck Parks and Recreation Department. The weather was great and there was much to enjoy, including live music, the limbo, food trucks, bubble fun, a movie and especially the fire dancers. Police National Night Out - On August 2, Councilwoman Sabrina Fiddelman and I joined the Town of Mamaroneck Police Department for Police National Night Out at Harbor Island Park. The event brings law enforcement and the community together for a fun evening to promote police/community comradery. Despite the heat, the night was a great success. Many thanks to the Mamaroneck Village Police Dept Village for the invite! The fireworks alone were worth the trip! Summer Concerts: The entire Town Board attended the last of the summer concerts on Monday night. The weather was beautiful, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the entire recreation staff who work tirelessly to improve the quality of our lives with the various active and passive recreation events that they offer. Kudos!! Town Board August 17, 2022 PUBLIC HEARING The Town Supervisor noted that there are no public hearings tonight, so the next item on the agenda is Resident comments.

Cioffi, who passed away on August 12th. Frank dedicated his life to the residents of the Town of Mamaroneck. As a 43-year member of Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department, he served as Chief of the Department and then, after that time, he served for many years as safety officer. He was also a life member and a founding member of Larchmont Volunteer Ambulance Corps—he was a medic and rode the ambulance for many years. At the time of his passing, Frank was the long-time President of the TMFD Exempts Benevolent Association. In that role, he managed the LOSAP program, an annuity program for volunteer firefighters, and was greatly involved in the recent renovation project at the firehouse—he designed the kitchen that is used today. Frank also played a big role in the TMFD's Thanksgiving meal program- cooking for and serving Thanksgiving dinner to those in need in our community. To members of TMFD and LVAC he truly was a patriarch, a mentor, a voice of reason, and above all, a friend when you needed one the most. Frank's impact on our community will be remembered well beyond our lifetimes, and he will live on in our memories.

NYC water rates have increased at an average rate of 7.7%per year over the past 15 years. • Water System Operational & Other Costs (Expected 2022 Cost-$75.5 Million) Operational costs were projected to grow at an average annual rate of 3%-4%, but in light of inflation and supply chain issues are now trending higher. Potential fines related to non-compliance may also be an issue. • Water System Capital Improvements (Current Five Year Plan-$132 Million) The multi year capital plan is in the process of being updated,while assumptions regarding the numbers/types ofprojects are not expected to change signdficantly,the costs of these projects will escalate due to increases in labor and material costs. The cost of financing the projects will also be higher: The longer than expected duration of the SEAR process for the Filter Plant Project will also add to its costs. There are potential grant opportunities that could help to offset cost increases. 3 WJWW Current FiveYear Capital Improvement Plan WJWW TOM Project Category Full Cost Share of Cost Filtration Plant $ 108,000,000 S 18,036,000 UV Treatment Facility S 8.000.000 S 1,488,000 Water Storage Tank Rehabs S 7,350,000 $ 1,367,100 Pumpstation Modifications $ 3,122,000 $ 580,692 Pressure Regulator&Transmission System Upgrades $ 1,232,000 S 229,152 Chlorination System Upgrades S 500,000 S 93,000 Grants/Cost Sharing $ (4,000,000) $ (744.000) Joint System Planned Projects $ 124204,000 $ 21,049.944 Joint System Projects(Emergency/Contingency) $ 5,000,000 $ 930,000 Local System Projects-Distribution Main Replacements $ 2,000,000 S 2,000,000 Local System Projects-Pre-Paving Infrastructure Replacement $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Five Year Capital Plan Total $ 132,204,000 $ 24,979,944 4 Town i•. • A • Attachment A • • "11U'ater Rate History � Proposed Increase Year NYC DEP Tawn of Mamaroneck Z007 15.0% 14.0% Z008 13.0°1° 14.5% ZD09 2.0% 9.0% 2010 25.0% 18.0% 2011 M. 201Z 9.$% 15.0% The 2013 1Z.3% $.7% 2014 5.1% 6.0% 2015 9.9% 12.0% 2016 0.0% 2.5% 2017 D.0% 3.5% Z018 0.0°h 3.5% 2019 9.2% 0.0% zozD 0.096 0.0% 0 i proposed �' 15 Year Average 7.7% 8•6°� 2022 Proposed 1.4% 10.0% rI� TOM Average Annual Water Bill tar Household Consumption of 100,000 Gallan511�Itlnlmal Irrigation: 2�21 $966 2022 $1,063 Year-to-Yearincrease $97/Year($027/Day) Town Board August 17, 2022 Attachment B Town of Mamaroneck From: Tracy Yogman-Town Comptr� :E Re: Fire Claims � Date: August 17,2022 The following Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department claims have been certified by Chief Shaun Hughes and submitted to the Comptroller's Office for payment: fire hooks,hydrotest,inspect and Supplies-Eye shield,glove strap, 593,75 AAA Emer en Su 1 Co.
