Town Board
January 11 , 2023
We will start tonight with the 2023 Supervisor's Annual Address. This is my annual report on
the highlights of 2022 and what we expect to look forward to in 2023.
Well, I survived my first year as Supervisor! And what a year it has been. All of us here were
very busy.

Pretty impressive!
But these statistics don't really tell the whole story of what happened in the Town this year.
Comprehensive Plan
The biggest project we worked on this year was the update of our Comprehensive Plan.
TOGETHER OUR MAMARONECK, the Comprehensive Plan sets forth a blueprint and
vision for the future of our community and a road map for future actions by the Town Board.
Community input is critical to the success of a Comprehensive Plan, so the starting point
was getting input from you, the residents. We held multiple in-person workshops, pop up
listening sessions at community events, and an online survey. Our consultants, PACE Land
Use Law Center, synthesized public comments and created a framework for the Plan. Then
we had more listening sessions and an online survey to see if you think they got it right. The
Consultants are writing the Plan now.
Grants
We are always looking for sources of grant funding to save taxpayer dollars:
We were fortunate to receive a $308,000 federal grant from Congressman Bowman for
much-needed improvements to the Senior Center, and
A $300,000 grant from County Executive George Latimer and County Legislator Catherine
Parker for a comprehensive study of our storm water system. This grant was full of firsts! It
will be the first time the Town has done a comprehensive evaluation of our storm sewers and
the first time the Town has received grant funding to conduct such a study. As a result of the
study, we will be able to identify defects in the system and repair them, which should reduce
the occurrence and extent of flooding, and
A $64,000 grant from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation for a vehicle to
transport food scraps from Maxwell Avenue to the Suburban Carting to be disposed of.
Town Board
January 11 , 2023
Communication
We placed a heavy emphasis on communication with the residents this year so that you are
informed about everything that is happening in the Town. We launched a new website that is
more user friendly and contains much more useful information and we enhanced our Monthly
e-newsletters. As a result, online subscriptions increased 25 % in 2022. We also made our
Monthly e-newsletter more accessible by sharing it on several popular local facebook pages,
such as Love Larchmont, thus further increasing readership. We added a new e-feature,
"This Month in Mamaroneck..Town Happenings", an e-calendar of Town Events for the
month. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE got to www.townofmamroneckny.org and press the
gold circle "sign up for alerts" to sign up for Town news and notifications.
Infrastructure
We continue to make improvements to our infrastructure. We finally have cell service on
Weaver Street! We completed all of the repairs to our sanitary sewer system required
pursuant to the 2018 Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study. We were the only municipality in our
consortium (Pelham Manor, New Rochelle, Larchmont) to complete all of the necessary
repairs identified in the SSES. In addition, to paving roads, we reconfigured the traffic pattern
at the Myrtle/North Chatsworth intersection, reconstructed sidewalks, repaved and
landscaped the parking lot at the Senior Center and completed repairs to the parking deck
on Myrtle Boulevard.
Environment
I am proud that the Town continues to be a leader on the environmental and sustainability
front. The Town Board went paperless..now, instead of receiving paper packets for Town
Board Meetings, we receive all TBM documents electronically. The Town was re- certified a
"Climate Smart Community" by the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation.
We are proud that back in 2016 the Town became the ninth municipality in the entire state to
achieve this status. This year at the time the Town renewed its certification, it was the only
municipality in NYS that met the criteria for the second time. We achieved the honor from
the Arbor Day Foundation as a "Tree City USA." for the 30th year. The Town had two
environmental cleanup events, one in the spring and one in the fall, and a repair cafe to
promote repair as a better alternative to tossing things out that add to the waste stream.
Finances
The Town remains on solid financial footing. The Town maintained its Moody's AAA rating.
This is the highest possible financial rating and allows the Town to borrow money for
essential capital projects at the lowest possible interest rate.
2023 and Beyond
In 2023, among other things, we are looking forward to renovating Memorial Park, working
with Fields for Kids at improving the Hommocks Fields, studying an enhancement for the
pool area, enacting a Tree Law to protect and enhance our Tree Canopy, creating more
varied housing opportunities, affordable housing being an integral part of that, and finishing
the Comprehensive Plan, including an implementation plan.
All of this doesn't just happen.
None of this would be possible without our dedicated, professional caring staff who love our
Town and work tirelessly under the leadership of our Town Administrator, Meredith Robson.
We are also blessed with many community-minded residents who volunteer their time and
energy to serve on our many boards and commissions.
And we are so fortunate to have representatives on the federal, state and county level who
have all been incredibly responsive when the Town seeks assistance on any number of
issues. No matter what time of night or day, I know that I can pick up the phone and call any
one of them.
Finally, I am proud to be working with my colleagues on the Town Board —Abby Katz,
Sabrina Fiddelman, Jeffery King and Robin Nichinsky. They are committed to the Town and
our residents. They work tirelessly and diligently, looking to the future, willing to ask the
tough questions and make the hard decisions when necessary. It is truly a labor of love.
We are all working together to enhance our community.
Town Board
January 11 , 2023
1 look forward to continuing working with the entire community in 2023 to keep the Town of
Mamaroneck moving forward.

REPORTS OF THE COUNCIL
Councilman King
• Wished everyone a happy new year.
• Recreation Announcements: On Monday, 1/16 the Hommocks Ice Rink will have an
extended skate session, from 11 .30 am to 5.15 pm. There will be a Character Skate

• The Hommocks Rink is available for birthday parties.
• This weekend marks the 55th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King. It is a time
to reflect. Councilman King then shared a story he wrote 50 years ago as an 8th
grader at the Hommocks titled "Justice for the Innocent". Councilman King asked
everyone to reflect on where we have been and where we can go as a person, a
community, people. The last words of Dr. King were `My eyes have seen the glory of
the coming of the Lord.' He asked how we can improve our existence, our footprint, so
that hopefully 50 years from now an 8th grader is not reading the same story.
Councilwoman Katz
• Nothing to report.
Councilwoman Fiddelman
• Attended with Supervisor Elkind Eney the ribbon cutting for the new Rye YMCA

Attachment A (Con't)
An application to the NYSDEC for a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(SPDES) permit was submitted in
August 2022. Following comments from the NYSDEC in a letter dated 10/14/22,a revised SPDES application along with a
NYSDEC Freshwater Wetlands permit application was submitted in November 2022.
An application to the NYCDEP for approval of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)was submitted in July
2022. Hazen and Sawyer,our aroiect engineer,has been working collaboratively with the NYCDEP since July 2021 to
understand and comply with their needs relative to siting the filtration Plant on the NYCDEP watershed. In responding
to comments in the NYSDEC letter dated 10/14/22 relative to the SPDES permit application, Hazen and Sawyer had to
make revisions to the SWPPP application which will be submitted to the NYCDEP in January 2023.
Land Swap- WJWW had to wait until completion of the SEQRA process in October 2022 to enter into a binding Contract
with the County;however,the County has suggested that they would like to wait for a NYCDEP signoff first before
entering into a Contract with WJWW.
Construction of the filtration plant is expected to begin in 2024 and be completed in 2027.

Subject: Grant
Jaine and Meredith:
This is to confirm that the$26,500 grant by the Virginia A.Maguire Foundation to the Town of Mamaroneck was for the
installation of lighting to make the sign at the entrance to the Senior Center visible in the dark(when something is going
on at the Senior Center)and to purchase and install a sound system at the Senior Center which will make it possible for
members of the audience at meetings and events to clearly hear what is being said,both by members of the group
having the meeting and by members of the audience making a presentation to that group,asking questions,etc.
Please advise as to a date or dates(hopefully in early 2023)by which these projects are expected to be completed.
Thank you.
