CALL TO ORDER
On motion of Councilman King, seconded by Councilwoman Nichinsky, the Town Board
unanimously agreed to open the Work Session at 5:OOpm.
WORK SESSION ITEMS
1. Options for New Crossing Signal at New Jefferson
Town Engineer Robert P. Wasp presented the Town Board with two options for the
new crosswalk sign on New Jefferson. With both sign types, a pedestrian would push
the button and then the sign would flash to alert drivers that a pedestrian is/or will be
crossing. See Attachment A, one option is a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon
(RRFB) and the other is an LED Perimeter Sign Type. The Town Engineer pointed out
that the cost for the RRFB sign is a bit less than for the LED Perimeter Sign Type and
there are more manufacturers producing the RRFB sign type. In addition, with the
RRFB sign, the Town could program the intensity and duration of the light to ensure
maximum visibility at all times, while minimizing light pollution. The Town Engineer
and Barton & Loguidice both recommend the RRFB sign type.
2. Discussion - Fields for Kids! Inc. Agreement
Town Supervisor Elkind Eney updated the Town Board on her recent meetings with
Fields for Kids (FFK). FFK have completed the survey, although the Town has not
seen it. The next step is to complete an engineering study. Town Engineer Rob Wasp
explained the proposal from Woodard & Curran for the engineering study, which
would determine feasibility through analysis of the property structure.

1-95 Turnaround
On Wednesday December 14, the NYS Thruway Authority announced the completion of a
new U-Turn near exit 17 of 1-95 in the Town of Mamaroneck.
The new U-Turn is located about 600 south of the prior U-Turn. During heavy traffic,
firetrucks and other emergency vehicles entering southbound 1-95 at that location had
difficulty crossing the three southbound lanes to access the U-Turn to respond to incidents
on northbound 1-95. In those cases, emergency vehicles had to travel more than 2 miles
south to the next exit, leave the highway and then re-enter 1-95 in the north bound direction,
adding up to 10 minutes to their response time.
Town Board
December 19, 2022
The NYS Thruway Authority, working with State Senator Shelley Mayer, State Assemblyman
Steve Otis, my office and the TMFD, was able to accelerate the completion of the new U-
turn. This newly relocated U-Turn, requested by our Fire Department, will provide our
firetrucks and other emergency vehicles a safer location to access and cross 1-95 while
helping them reach emergencies more quickly. Our First Responders' safety is of paramount
importance as they keep us safe each and every day. We are grateful to everyone who
recognized the significance of this much-needed project and saw it through to swift
completion.
Grants
I am thrilled to announce that the Town applied for and was awarded a $300,000 grant from
the County for a comprehensive study of our storm sewer system!! Completion of the
evaluation will provide the Town with updated record maps for our storm sewer network,
identification of current defects and recommendations for construction projects that
effectively reduce the occurrence and extent of flooding. This is a big first step in alleviating
the repeat occurrence of flooding events in our community! I want to thank County Legislator
Catherine Parker and County Executive George Latimer for including these much-needed
funds in the 2023 County Budget and for always partnering with the Town, and I want to
thank Town Engineer Rob Wasp for shooting for the stars with me!
Events
It has been a busy two weeks of happy events here in the Town:
On December 8, we attended a WMOA hosted by the Village of Tuckahoe. The Deputy State
Comptroller spoke and offered much-appreciated assistance to local municipal officials.
Last Saturday, December 10, 1 joined Mayor Tom Murphy at the Christmas Tree lighting
social at Harbor Island Park in the VOM. Santa and his elves did a wonderful job brightening
everyone's spirits. Thank you to Recreation Superintendent Jason Pinto for featuring my (his
and the Mayor's) favorite Christmas song Bruce Springsteen's rendition of "Santa Claus is
Coming to Town"
On December 13, 1 attended a recreation Commission meeting where we celebrated two
long term members of the Recreation Commission who are retiring at the end of this year--
Rita Plansky, after over 20 years, and Terry Rainaldi, after over 30 years. There are no
words to express our appreciation for their years of dedication, caring and hard work. Thank
you both.
On December 17 1 attended the Girls Finals in the 2nd Annual Keith Yizar Memorial
Basketball Tournament at the HS. Unfortunately, the MHS Varsity Girls Team (coached by
Keith's sons, Yusef and Gabe) lost in the Final, but it is always good to remember Keith who
played such a vital role in our community. Wait tit next year....
December 18 was a busy day celebrating the holidays in our community. Deputy Supervisor
Katz and I started at the Hommocks Rink where the TMFD and Recreation Department
hosted a Skate with Santa and the TMFD held their annual Toy Drive. The rink was packed
and everyone seemed to be having a good time skating with Santa and his elves.
Then Abby and I went to the Duck Pond where the Larchmont Gardens Civic Association
hosted their annual Winter Social complete with Hot Chocolate and a visit from LVAC and
the TMFD (just back from Skate with Santa at the Rink)
Finally Abby and I capped off the afternoon at Constitution Park in Larchmont for a Menorah
Lighting. The Menorah was carved from ice!!
I wish all who celebrate a Happy Chanukkah, a Merry Christmas, a Joyous Kwanza, a Happy
Festivus and a Happy Healthy New Year filled with love and laughter!!
Next item on the agenda is public hearings.

3. Consideration of Certiorari
Town Attorney William Maker Jr. introduced the certiorari for the following address:
Subject: SRP, Inc.
Address: W. Boston Post Road (no street number)
Section/Block/Lot: 9-20-507
Town of Mamaroneck/Village of Mamaroneck
The Town Attorney explained that this property is vacant land with an extremely steep
slope, which makes it difficult to build upon. It is located across from the Town Center.
The petitioner challenged its assessments for the years 2016 through 2021 . The
property's assessed value for all years at issue is $960,000. The property had been
on the market and an offer to purchase it for $650,000 was made about two years
ago. The offer was withdrawn due to the cost associated with constructing necessary
retaining walls, extending water, sewer and electric lines and driving piles. Nearby
vacant lots on the Boston Post Road, which are level, have sold for around
$48/square foot. Due to the topography, the petitioner offered to settle by valuing the
subject property at $45/square foot or $720,000.
Using an average tax rate of $.5412 per thousand dollars of assessed value, Attorney
Maker estimated that by agreeing to this settlement, the Town would refund about
$780 in taxes. Using an average School tax rate of $13.5992 per thousand dollars of
assessed value, he estimated that if the Town Board agrees to this settlement, the
School District will refund, or not collect, about $19,580 in taxes. The School District
did not formally intervene in these proceedings; however, as is his custom, he
reviewed the proposed offer with the School District's attorney before making it. The
School District's attorney considered it to be a satisfactory settlement. Using a
blended Village tax rate of $6.7412 per thousand dollars of assessed value for the
other years at issue, Attorney Maker estimated that if the Town Board agrees to this
settlement, the Village will refund, or not collect, about $9,700 in taxes.

On motion of Councilwoman Katz, seconded by Councilwoman Fiddelman, it was

the property is auctioned.

Re: Town of Mamaroneck 2023 Adopted Budget
We are pleased to present the 2023 Adopted Operating and Capital Budget for the Town of
Mamaroneck.The Adopted Budget is prepared by the staff and proposes the necessary resources to
continue to provide municipal services. The Town Board has had the opportunity to review the
document,meet with staff to review budget submissions and conducted work sessions to discuss the
Proposed Budget. On December 7, 2022, the Town Board held a public hearing on the 2023
Preliminary Budget to receive comments from the residents of the Town. All comments and
questions received have been considered and responded to as part of the budget process.We thank
the residents for their participation.
2023 Preliminary Budget Overview
After beginning our ascent out of the pandemic,we have now all been thrown into the newest period
of uncertainty with quickly rising material, insurance and utility costs,supply chain delays,and other
global issues with the potential to significantly impact operations at the local level. This budget is an
attempt to balance this uncertainty and the need to be able to continue services at current levels,
while respecting the taxpayer interests. The current global uncertainties also force us to craft a
budget that allows the Town to remain nimble enough to weather the unknowns in successful
fashion. The days of"the same old thing"in annual budgets no longer exists.
As has historically been the case, the financial strength of the Town government and its ability to
successfully take on the challenges of the coming year is the hallmark of this organization. Our
practice of taking on a conservative approach to projecting revenues and expenses continues with
this budget. Our reliance on financial projections for both expenditures and revenues helps to avoid
large fluctuations in Town budgets and plan future years' budgets. The Town's fund balance
management policy protects fund balances and avoids mismanagement of funds that can cause
structural deficits in future budgets.
The Preliminary Budget reflects the continuation of our fine services, with a particular emphasis on
technology upgrades and capital improvements. Unfortunately, it also reflects the large increases
we are experiencing in insurance,utility and supply costs. While our staff is doing everything possible
to mitigate these increases,there is a great deal of market fluctuation for which we have no control
and for which it appears there is no end in sight.

Attachment B (Cont'd)
For the 2023 Adopted Budget,the tax rate proposed is a decrease of 2.11%. This overall decrease is
a result of a tax levy increase and the increase in total assessed value of over$668 million or 6.35%.
Cyclical reassessments of Town properties ensure that taxes are fairly distributed based on current
market values.The tax levy is spread over a larger base which reduces the tax rate.On a homeowner
level,the average home price within the Town has increased by$100,000,
The 2023 Adopted Budget totals$59,280,376,an increase of$6,098,921,which is largely a result of
the use of an additional $3.4 million in fund balance appropriation to support a robust capital
improvement program. This action is consistent with our budget discussions last year about moving
towards the practice of utilizing less fund balance for recurring operational expenses and more fund
balance for one-time and capital expenses. This will be discussed more fully later in this memo.
Despite the issues facing the Town, we have once again been successful in having our Aaa credit
rating reaffirmed by Moody's in 2022.The rating allowed the Town to issue debt of$5.3 million for
capital projects at the rate of 3.7%. While high compared to rates in the recent past,this rate is still
lower than it would have been had the Town not maintained its Aaa rating. Maintaining the Town's
credit rating remains a strategic goal that the Town is committed to as we move forward with critical
capital projects at a lower cost.
Total revenue to meet 2023 expenditures is comprised of$30.2 million in tax revenue,$23.6 million
in non-property tax revenue and$5.5 million in fund balance support. The tax levy increase is now
$1,115,079. There are many factors that contributed to the budget increase. Expenses increased by
$6.1 million,or 11.47%. In 2022,many of the capital projects and technology investments that were
previously deferred due to the uncertainties caused by the pandemic were slowly restored to provide
efficient services for the public. Utility cost increases, bargaining unit increases, health insurance
rate increases and capital project investments have also contributed to the total expenditure
increase.
While we continue to budget conservatively,there are a number of items that we remain concerned
about going into 2023 for which we have not included a revised appropriation. We have recently
seen a significant decrease in mortgage tax revenue but have chosen to maintain potentially
$200,000 more in the budget than we may receive given the recent reduction. Estimated salary
adjustments that may be considered after our compensation study is completed have not been
included. Any potential cost overages from our capital improvement program have not been
accounted for in this budget. Funding to cover any additional expenditures required would be made
up through the additional use of fund balance,which as you know, is not a practice we believe can
be sustained.
We have focused on the following benefits in preparing this budget:
➢ Continued restoration of the Town's recreation programs to pre-pandemic levels
➢ Continued investment in technology that will streamline on-line services for residents and
ensure greater operational efficiencies.
➢ Robust investment in vehicles, including public safety vehicles,technology in those vehicles,
water infrastructure, roadway improvements, recreation facility improvements and other
infrastructure projects to meet the needs of the community.

Attachment B (Cont'd)
➢ Provision for the anticipated but still largely unknown extent of inflation impacts as products
and equipment remain difficult to purchase.
➢ Realistic estimation of revenues and expenses.
Revenues
The Town depends upon a variety of revenue sources in order to finance government operations.
The property tax remains the largest source of revenue(51%)to the Town. For 2023,the estimated
tax levy is $30.2 million, an increase of 3.84% over 2022. The tax levy is not only a function of
increases in expenses but also the performance of non-property tax revenues. Several categories of
non-property revenue directly reflect the performance of regional and national economic trends.
The volatility in these revenues is therefore cause for estimating revenue projections conservatively
and maintaining a strong fund balance.
The revenue increases that were made in a number of areas in the 2022 Adopted Budget which
included increases in mortgage tax and sales tax have been budgeted at realistic levels for 2023.The
most significant revenue increases are in garage reimbursements, ice rink and pool revenue,
ambulance charges, fee rate increases, interest earnings. The total combined increase of non-tax
revenue is$1.6 million which has assisted in keeping the tax rate increase as low as possible.
To maintain stability in year-to-year changes in property taxes and tax levies,the Town had previously
initiated the use of fees as an alternative to property taxes. Where fees are applied, the cost of
services is borne either in whole or in part by those using the service,which places the cost of that
service on the user and not the taxpayer. The Town has used this technique successfully for
recreation, ambulance, water and sewer services. Increases have been anticipated, however, the
use of fees is not a universal remedy since other municipal services do not lend themselves to a fee-
based system.
Expenditures
The Town's total expenditures for 2023 are projected to be$59.3 million,an increase of$6.1 million
or 11.47%from 2022.As stated above, in part,the increase in expenditures is a result of increases in
utility costs ($165k), bargaining unit ($600k), benefits ($1,106k), and debt service ($256k). By far,
though,the greatest increase in expenditures is related to the support of capital improvements which
has been increased by$2.6 million and is supported by a fund balance appropriation.
Property Tax Cap
Each year local governments in New York State must consider whether to adopt budgets that comply
with the Property Tax Cap legislation imposed by the Governor and New York State Legislature in
2011. Most local officials agree that the tax cap legislation does not reflect the realities of delivering
municipal services, does not adequately account for long-term capital infrastructure needs and, in
fact, often hampers the appropriate maintenance of such community assets. Compliance with the
tax cap is particularly difficult for local governments, since the State government has failed to
increase aid to local governments,as it has to school districts in New York,for more than ten years.
Since 2011,the Town has complied with the tax cap guideline in six of the last eleven budgets. The
tax levy in the 2023 Preliminary Budget is above the State tax levy cap. Based upon the mandated
liilliw formula,the 2023 Town tax levy cap limit is 2.06%,which would provide for a maximum increase on
iii

Attachment B (Cont'd)
the 2022 tax levy of $599,092. The proposed tax levy is $30,180,305. This is an increase of
$1,115,079 or 3.84%. Our goal each year is to present a budget that finances municipal services at
the greatest value possible to the community. we recognize that this increase exceeds the tax cap
but it is important to understand that this reflects the investments in services and capital projects
discussed in this memo, as a well as a continuing change in strategy regarding the appropriation of
fund balance.
2023 Property Taxes
The apportionment of the tax levy is a function of total property assessments for each of the Town's
seven budget funds that are levied. Property taxes for 2023 are based upon property assessments
that were finalized in September of 2022 by the Town Assessor in accordance with Real Property
New York State law. In compliance with State guidelines and adhering to the Town's plan for cyclical
reassessment, a Town-wide revaluation was completed in 2021 and an annual reassessment was
done in 2022.Completing a revaluation in accordance with State guidelines will ensure that home
values will be valued at 100%of their market value. Each budget fund, by law, must have its own
property assessments and tax rates. The exception to the revaluation requirement is for those funds
financed completely by fees and charges.
There was an increase in the average residential assessed valuation to reflect changes in the local
real estate market from 2021 to 2022.Total assessments applied to the Town-wide fund increased
by about $688 million, or 6.4%. Assessment increases for other budget funds ranged from
approximately$289-$695 million.
Understanding the Town of Mamaroneck budget is not always easy because of the different budget
funds. Many do not realize that the Town provides services to the unincorporated Town as well as
the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck. Property owners in the Villages receive from the Town
tax collection services for school and county taxes, recreational services, property assessment
services and ambulance service. Property owners in the unincorporated area receive additional
services including police,fire,sanitation collection and road maintenance.
Due to the tax rate proposed for 2023 representing a decrease of 2.11%from 2022,a property owner
in the unincorporated area with an average assessment of $1,408,000 will incur a property tax
obligation of$7,880 for all services. Despite the tax rate decrease, because of the average increase
in assessments, the average tax bill will increase by $402 or 5.38%. For property owners in the
Villages with an average assessment of$1.408 million,their property tax obligation to the town will
be$843,or an increase of$12 for the year.All individual property tax bills will vary depending upon
their particular assessment when compared with this average.
Capital Projects
The 2023 Preliminary Budget includes funding for capital projects either in progress or representing
new initiatives. For funding purposes, capital projects are prioritized based upon need. The capital
plan is a tool to assess the long-term capital project needs of the Town with projected funding
sources. While a comprehensive capital plan is meant to forecast future needs, it requires annual
updates to reflect the status of projects,new capital priorities, revised estimates and coordination of
funding sources.

The capital plan proposed for 2023 totals $10.228 million. The capital plan is now fully in progress
after the multi-year delay caused by the pandemic. Through the continued strategic use of fund
balance,a total of$3.4 million was applied to the 2023 capital plan allowing the Town to fund those
projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. In addition, the capital plan includes the utilization of nearly
$751,000 of grant funding and $5.7 million of serial bond financing. A section of the budget
document is dedicated to a detailed presentation of the 2023 capital plan and also includes a
projected capital plan for an additional four years.
The challenge of maintaining our infrastructure will require a continuous effort by the Town.
Investments in capital infrastructure are critical if we are to continue to provide municipal services
to the community to ensure clean water, safe roads, safe equipment and a healthy environment.
Sometimes it is easy to forget the underground utility systems that provide clean water each day and
carry away sanitary sewage from our kitchens and bathrooms. Each year as our infrastructure gets
older,the need for maintenance and replacement grows.
The Town has come to realize that deferring capital infrastructure improvements only leads to far
greater expense in the future,and we are finally catching up on deferred projects and providing for
appropriate progress on capital needs in this budget.
Some of the major projects included in the 2023 Capital Plan include the following:
➢ Town-wide street resurfacing program
➢ Technology investments
➢ Improvements to the Town's water transmission system
➢ Equipment replacements necessary to maintain Town services
➢ Improvements to recreational facilities to enhance leisure services to the community
Fund Balance
The 2023 Preliminary Budget provides for an application of reserves of $5.5 million which is an
increase of nearly$3.4 million over last year. Consistent with our discussions last year about a revised
approach to fund balance management,we have increased the allocation for one-time expenses and
capital projects by$2.9 million. Despite our desire not to increase use of fund balance for recurring
operational expenses, we have increased that use as well in order to reduce the tax impact. An
additional amount of$499,360 in funding for recurring expenses has been incorporated into the 2023
Preliminary Budget. As a result, 62% of the fund balance appropriation is for one-time and capital
use and 38%is appropriated for operational expenses.At this time,the fund balance is healthy and
stable enough to support these appropriations, however,this is not a sound practice going forward
because of the structural deficit it creates in future budgets. When this level of appropriation is no
longer available, the operating budget cannot be sustained without a resulting increase in tax
revenue to make up the deficit,
The optimal use of fund balance,as we have stated previously, is for one-time expenses and is best
not relied upon to fund operating budgets on an annual basis.The Town has been effective in utilizing
fund balances to fund both operating costs and capital projects in the past,however,we continue to
try to plan for future years to shift the reliance on fund balance to support operations to support
one-time and capital expenses instead. Due to the particular circumstances this year, we were
r unable to reduce reliance on fund balance appropriations to support recurring operational expenses
v

Town Board

Attachment B (Cont'd)
and, in fact, increased such support. The Town is committed to protecting the community to the
greatest extent possible and is, therefore, well aware of the financial challenges of utilizing fund
balance for continued operational support.We will continue to be prudent and mindful of our use of
fund balance. However, we were also able to significantly increase the fund balance appropriation
for capital expenses, which ultimately mitigates future debt service costs for necessary capital
improvements. By doing so,the Town will have a balanced budget and at the same time utilize fund
balance to reduce future debt costs. This will help prevent reliance on significant fund balance
support that can fluctuate depending on future demands on Town resources.
As you know, the full transition to using fund balance appropriations for one-time and capital
expenses will likely take a number of years to complete and may require tax increases for the next
several years as we reduce the reliance on fund balance to cover annual operating expenses. We
firmly believe it is the most prudent course of action. In addition to providing a structurally sound
budget, this approach will allow for even greater flexibility during difficult years and allow us to
manage through severe weather and unanticipated events that require optimal resources for our
community. Though not a complete change, more emphasis has been placed on appropriations for
capital needs.The intent of this action is to keep pace with infrastructure and equipment needs and
to further balance the burden of the capital projects and equipment expenditures for current and
future taxpayers.This budget also avoids one of the strategies that most municipalities use which is
to artificially minimize tax increases by deferring capital purchases and improvements.
Long Term Planning
The community should, by now, be well aware of the efforts the Town has undertaken to complete
an updated Comprehensive Plan.This plan includes a significant amount of public input into future
planning, capital improvement needs and operational improvements. The plan is a framework
establishing policies for the area's long-range planning and development.This Comprehensive Plan
will create a blueprint for a more environmental,equitable,and economically sound unincorporated
area of the Town of Mamaroneck.Once the Town Board formally adopts the plan,the Town will work
toward aligning operations with the stated goals and objectives. Formalizing a plan will prioritize
issues,assets and challenges for budget planning.The Plan is scheduled to be completed in 2023 and
will frame the needs for the 2024 Budget and beyond.
Conclusion
Considering the local and global uncertainties under which this budget is prepared, we believe the
2023 Preliminary Budget is a responsible budget that balances the needs of the community and our
fiscal obligations. The magnitude of the Town's financial strength is quite evident in this budget. Our
history of conservative financial management has paid off and allowed the Town government to
endure a series of events with significant impacts on our operations while maintaining critical services
at an excellent value.Of equal, if not greater importance, is that this budget provides the means for
the Town to plan and protect our community in the future.Ours is an older community and with that
comes the task and the challenge of maintaining older infrastructure to continue municipal services
now and in the future. Much of the 2023 capital improvement program is dedicated to the upkeep
of our facilities, technology and infrastructure investments in order to best provide for the
community's future.

Honorable Supervisor Jaine Elkind-Eney
Honorable Members of the Town Board
I reviewed the budget letter dated December 19,2022 (the"December 19 Letter")
and would like to supplement my prior comments with the following.
The December 19 Letter states that "the Town Board held a public hearing on the
2023 Preliminary Budget to receive comments from the residents of the Town.All
comments and questions received have been considered and responded to as part of
the budget process.We thank the residents for their participation.
I still have the following,unaddressed questions concerning:
1) The Town Council's decision in this year's and next year's budgets to
distribute the capital cost of repairs to the Police Locker Room to the Town-
wide fund,which includes levies on village taxpayers.
2) The Town Council's decision to appropriate$1 million of Town-wide fund
balance for a $3 million"Hommocks Pool Renovation"that has no plans,bids
or other details,including proof of ownership,in the public record.
The December 19 Letter closes with the statement: "We hope that the community
will take the time to read the budget document." I have done so,and I have found
errors and issues,which I have tried to bring to your attention in a respectful
manner,to no avail.
Thus,I conclude with the most important,unaddressed question I raised throughout
the budget process:
3) Will the Town Council appoint a committee of taxpayers(similar to the ones
who support the budgeting process of the School District and neighboring
municipalities)to permit taxpayer voices to be heard at an earlier time in the
Town budgeting process,when real and substantive changes can be made?
I hope so.
Respectfully submitted, /

1. Their budget goal should be at least stay within tax cap if not zero tax increase.
They need to focus on operational efficiencies including technology such as software
(e.g. self-service) or hardware (e.g. robotic arm garbage truck) not just on increasing
costs.
2. The GFOA document that guides them is directed to operational budgets that are
underfunded for current expenses. They use it to justify their overfunded operational
budgets and and so called one-time capital spending. Their projects are not vetted
needs and include fudge factors place-holders such as undefined Hommocks pool
project. This is not structurally sound budgeting.

Hi Jaine,
Thank you for the response and explanations. Happy Hanukkah and best wishes for
the holiday season.
My thought is that the town budgeting process should set as a primary goal to keep
within the tax cap. The town should operate within its means and those of its
residents/taxpayers.
Yes, there is a need for 1) contingency reserves including for true one-time expenses
that could not be anticipated (e.g. Hurricane Ida) and 2) providing for cash flow.
Maintaining a fund balance within a range should address those goals. To the extent
that fund balance dips below the bottom of the range it would need to be
replenished. On the other hand, when fund balance exceeds the upper end of the
range funds should be returned to the taxpayers, reducing the town's need to tax.
Utilizing fund balance in excess of the upper end of the range in this manner should
not be inconsistent with a goal of a structurally balanced budget. Funding so called
one-time expenses such as the 2023 Hommocks Pool project, which is undefined and
has on-going revenue and expense projections lacking any transparency as to
whether they are balanced, does not appears to reflect appropriate or structurally
balanced budgeting practices.
Unfortunately, public hearings at the end of a decision making process by the board
is inconsistent with real public participation, but hopefully the board at this late date
will reread the GFOA recommendations and reconsider some of the budget decisions
it is making.
Best regards,
Brian

Dear Brian:
Please see my responses below in Red
Can you identify what capital projects for 2023 are so important for 2023..and more so than in 2022..that they are
sufficient reason for the town budget to require a tax increase,and one above the tax cap?
The 2023 Capital Budget has been reviewed and prioritized by the Departmental Staff,The Town Administrator and the
Town Board.The projects that have been included in the budget are required for public safety, improved public services
and improved operational efficiencies.
Deferring capital projects that are funded with fund balance does not reduce taxes unless that funding is reallocated to
the operating budgets. Utilizing additional fund balance for recurring expenses is contrary to the Town's financial goals.
Fund Balance should be used for non-recurring or one-time expenses so that the Town does not rely on a savings
999 account to fund operations.Despite this,in order to minimize the tax increase,we significantly increased the use of fund
balance for recurring expenses by$500k for a total of$2.1 million.This saved taxpayers$480/year.
t
In addition,as outlined in the powerpoint presentation,the Town needs cash reserves of about$4 million to pay for
expenses incurred before the annual taxes are collected in April each year. In addition,the Town must make the County
and the School Districts whole on their tax levy even if all of the taxes are not collected. Therefore,we must have a
healthy fund balance in order to protect the Town's interest.
Are there other costs that could not skillfully and reasonably be managed so that the town kept its tax increase within the
limits of the tax cap?
We have reviewed expenses and revenues and have reduced expenses and increased revenue to prudent
levels.
What would suggest that minimizing taxes and minimizing tax increases is a goal of the board and this budget?
The Board scrutinizes the budget carefully and makes decisions as to what is absolutely necessary in order to provide
services at the level our residents have come to expect.At the same time,the Town's goal in accordance with GFOA
recommendations is to get to a structurally balanced budget whereby recurring revenues fund recurring expenditures.
(Please refer to https://www.gfoa.org/materials/achieving-a-structurally-balanced-budget for further information on
municipal best practices.)Please see response above.
1 hope this helps.Please don't hesitate to contact me if you require additional information.
