Taxes Due to Alleged Criminal Activity
Date: March 20, 2024
Attached is a memo from Town Comptroller, Tracy Yogman, regarding the recent increase in check
fraud that has affected Town residents. Residents have reported receiving outstanding tax notices but
believe they have paid their taxes on time. To remedy this unique situation resulting from criminal
activity, we ask the Board to consider waiving the penalties and interest on the delinquent payments
caused by fraudulent activity. A full resolution has been prepared by Town Attorney Maker for your
consideration, and could be acted upon as follows:
Action Requested:
Resolved that the Town Board hereby approves the waiver of penalties and interest on
delinquent payments caused by fraudulent activity as per the attached resolution.

Subject: Resolution Waiving Penalties and Interest on Late Payments of Real Property
Taxes Due to Alleged Criminal Activity
General:
There has been a significant increase in check fraud over the past few years. Although check usage
has declined, check fraud is a low-tech and relatively easy crime to pull off, and there is still a
sizeable pool of potential victims. Fraudsters are removing the ink ("washing"), selling blank checks
or writing in whatever they want.
Recovering funds lost in these scenarios cannot be guaranteed, and any recovery depends on the
receiving depository institution. If recovery is possible, it often takes more than six months.
The Comptroller's office has become of aware of this issue when residents receive outstanding tax
due notices but believe they have paid their taxes on time. Through no fault of their own, their checks
have been washed and cashed to unknown recipients other than the Town. Penalties continue to
accrue on the taxes owed in accordance with the law.
In order to provide relief to those residents affected by this criminal activity, a resolution is proposed
for the Town Board's consideration to authorize the Tax Receiver to waive the penalties and interest
on these fraudulently cashed payments provided certain documentation is submitted to the Town.

Resolution Waiving Penalties and Interest on Late Payments of Real Property Taxes due to Alleged
Criminal Activity-March 2024
Page 4 of 74
Resolution Waiving Penalties and Interest on Late Payments of Real Property Taxes Due to
Alleged Criminal Activity
On motion of Council , seconded by Council , the
Town Board finds and approves the following:
WHEREAS, there have been numerous occasions since the beginning of 2024 when
checks to pay real property taxes have been mailed by taxpayers only to be intercepted,
altered to change the payee and sometimes the amount (a process known as "washing")
and fraudulently cashed,
WHEREAS, as a result of this criminal activity, payments of real property taxes that
otherwise would have been made before the imposition of interest and penalties have
not been made,
WHEREAS, the Receiver of Taxes is required by law to impose interest and penalties on
late tax payments regardless of the circumstances that led to the delinquency,
WHEREAS, because the law requires it, the Receiver of Taxes has been compelled to
charge interest and penalties, or advise taxpayers that interest and penalties will be
charged, on late tax payments even though the delay was through no fault of the
taxpayer,
WHEREAS, the Town Board determines that imposing interest and penalties when late
payment is due to criminal activity in which the taxpayer played no part is not in the
best interest of the Town,
WHEREAS, these facts present a unique situation,
WHEREAS, based upon the foregoing and acting pursuant to Real Property Tax Law
§1182, it is the best interests of the Town to authorize the Receiver of Taxes,upon receipt
of proper proof, to accept late payments of real property taxes without imposing interest
and penalties.
NOW THEREFORE,BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Receiver of Taxes hereby is directed to accept late payments of real
property taxes, without imposing interest and penalties, in full satisfaction of unpaid
real property taxes if the taxpayer
(1) provides a sworn statement that affirms (a) that a check was drawn for the
purpose of paying the taxpayer's real property taxes, (b) that the check was mailed on or
Page 5 of 74
before the last day when a real property tax can be paid without interest and penalties
being imposed and (c) that the taxpayer was unaware that the check had been
intercepted and altered until after the check was negotiated,
(2)produces a copy of the check that the taxpayer claims was altered, and
(3) presents proof that such check was negotiated, and
(4) supplies proof that the institution upon which such check was drawn has
reimbursed the taxpayer for the amount for which the check was drawn, and
(5) signs a statement authorizing the Receiver of Taxes to contact the institution
upon which such check was drawn for the sole purpose of confirming that such
institution reimbursed the taxpayer for the amount for which the check was drawn,
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that upon receiving the aforementioned documentation from a taxpayer
who has paid real property taxes with interest and penalties, the Receiver of Taxes is
directed to waive or refund (if paid) such interest and penalties,without interest, to such
taxpayer, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, nothing in this resolution shall prevent the Receiver of Taxes, after
consulting the Town Administrator and the Town Attorney, from collecting interest and
penalties or refusing to refund same if the Receiver has a legitimate reason not to believe
the taxpayer's sworn statement or that the check presented by the taxpayer had not been
altered or was not drawn for the purpose of paying the taxpayer's real property taxes,
and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that the Receiver of Taxes shall advise anyone denied the relief authorized
by this resolution that such person has the right to appeal such decision to the Town
Board within twenty(20) days of being notified of the denial, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, the direction and authority given to the Receiver of Taxes by this resolution
shall expire without further action by the Town Board on August 31, 2024 except that
after this resolution expires, the Receiver of Taxes shall refund interest and penalties to,
2
Page 6 of 74
or accept late payments of real property taxes without imposing interest and penalties,
in full satisfaction of unpaid real property taxes from, taxpayers who complied with the
requirements of this resolution before this resolution shall have expired, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that because this situation is unique and occasioned by criminal activity,
the Town Board does not consider its action in this matter to be setting a precedent for
dealing with other properties that are delinquent in payment of their real property taxes.
The above resolution was put to a roll call vote:

Re: Speed Hump Policy
Date: March 8, 2024
Attached please find the draft Speed Hump Policy as discussed at the previous Traffic Committee
meeting. The Committee did not have any objections to the presented policy. This has been drafted to
provide guidelines for the installation of speed humps where appropriate. Should the Town Board be
satisfied with the draft policy, I offer the following resolution.
Action Requested:
Resolved that the Town Board hereby approves the Speed Bump Policy and hereby
authorizes the Town Administrator to execute the policy.

I. Background and Reference Document:
The installation of speed humps in the United States has been difficult because this type of
traffic calming device is not in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Some municipalities have been reluctant to install speed humps, because of liability issues
possibly related to; (1) potential loss of vehicle control; (2) potential vehicle damage; (3)
traffic diversion to other streets; (4) increased emergency vehicle response time; and (5)
bicycle safety. Nevertheless, more and more municipalities are experimenting with the
design and placement of speed humps in response to citizen concern and protest to reduce
the speed and volume of traffic on neighborhood streets.
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has developed a set of guidelines for the
design and application of speed humps (Guidelines for the Design and Application of Speed
Humps, ITE Traffic Engineering,June 1997)1. Speed Humps are also included in the New
York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) design manua;,
II. Speed Hump Eligibility Criteria
Criteria 1: Written Request from Citizen or Associatio,
Residents or neighborhood associations wisning to have speed humps considered for a
specific street must submit to the Trzffic Comm°'gee a written request endorsed by at least
75% of the households within the portio of tF, subject street confined by the nearest
intersections.
Criteria 2: Street Eligibility Criteria
Town staff will revie\, such requests for speed humps, based on the criteria established in
this policy. Collector strc +s with iigh volumes of traffic will not be considered for speed
humps, nor will snow emei, • .y routes as designated per Town Code §219-81. In addition,
the Town has no authority to place speed humps on County or State roadways.
Only after the elimination of other appropriate and authorized conventional, non-capital
controls (e.g. speed limit signs, appropriate warning signs, directed enforcement) and a
comprehensive review by the Town Engineer and Police Departments, is a street to be
considered for speed humps.
Eligibility Criteria for Local residential street:
• An uncontrolled segment length of 600' or greater
• A local street defined as those streets that are mainly residential side streets, where
speeds limits do not exceed 30 mph
• Speed humps can be placed in accordance with the General Guidelines for
Design as outlined below.
3
Page 11 of 74
Streets are ineligible for speed humps if:
• Classified as an emergency route or collector street
• Grades, curvature, limited sight distance, or other physical conditions make
the application of speed humps unsafe in the opinion of the Town Engineer
or consulting engineer.
• Used as a routine emergency service route or a major transit route for buses or
bicycles
• Scheduled for pavement resurfacing or other planned construction within the next two
budget years
• Excessive traffic volume would be diverted to other residential streets
• The design guidelines below cannot be effectively met in the desired location
• Other safety considerations determined critical during rev`9w.
Criteria 3: Application Procedures
Request for speed humps will first be thoroughly reviewed by staff L 'ed on the eligibility
criteria. Engineering, police, fire, ambulance, and highwa. departments may be asked to
review all proposed speed hump installations. Departm'.ntal comments will be considered in
the decision-making process.
Following such review, the resident's application for speed hump consideration, along with
the staff recommendation, will be placed on ai agenda for consideration by the Town's
Traffic Committee. The Town will notify the residents on the portion of the subject street
confined by the nearest intersections of the scheduled meeting date. It shall be the
responsibility of the requc—+'ng party to solicit community support for the request. The
Traffic Committee will ..ien discuss the request at a Traffic Committee meeting and will
determine whethe, - not to make a recommendation to the Town Board that a speed
hump be placed in acc, dance with the request.
Criteria 4: Approval and Fu, Jing
Because speed hump funding is limited, it may not be possible for all eligible projects to be
funded. Speed bumps recommended by staff and the Traffic Committee and approved by
the Town Board may be prioritized and placed in the capital plan in the year in which
funding can be secured. Decisions on items to be placed in the capital plan are made during
the annual budget process. The Town shall have the discretion to install temporary speed
hump structures prior to completion of permanent installation. Such discretion will consider
the potential costs, availability of material and labor resources associated with temporary
speed hump installation.
III. Design Aspects
4
Page 12 of 74
The following are general guidelines for the design of speed humps. These are provided for
citizen information only. The latest design requirements as determined by the NYSDOT, ITE,
and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) shall
be utilized. The Town Engineer will determine applicable modifications to the design.
Guideline 1: Speed humps within a series are often placed from 200 feet to 750 feet
apart. On long blocks they are placed 1000 feet to 1600 feet and three or more humps
might be necessary.
Guideline 2: A series of two or more speed humps on a street are usually more effective
than a single hump.
Guideline 3: The first hump in a series should be located where 't cannot be approached at
high speed from either direction.
Guideline 4: Speed humps (at the first hump in a system) are usually installed no closer
than 200 feet measured from the nearest traffic control device ( stop sign, traffic
signal) or sharp curve with limited sight distance.
Guideline 5: Traffic control consisting of signs and markings is needed to warn roadway
users of the presence of a speed hump. While no minimurr standards exist for devices to
be used in conjunction with speed humps, devices typically used by agencies are the W8 -1
BUMP warning sign (MUTCD (Mar ,, , Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and markings
that show advance word messages (typ ,ally Bump) directly in advance of, or on, the hump.
Pavement word and symbol markings should be installed in conformance with MUTCD
guidelines.
Guideline 6: Speec: amps shourc: not oe placed to interfere with access to underground
utilities, impair winter ,ow remo ial operations or negatively impact existing drainage
patterns for surface runo. in ;. . road surface.
Guideline 7: Speed humps should not be installed within 100 feet of a roadway
intersection.
IV. Monitoring and Removal
The Town, at its discretion, may elect to install temporary speed hump structures for
evaluation of performance prior to completion of a permanent installation. The dates and
duration of time that temporary speed humps are evaluated shall be determined by the
Town.
Installed speed humps are monitored for six months to a year. If safety problems develop
due to installation, maintenance, or emergency issues, steps will be taken by the Town
5
Page 13 of 74
Engineering Department and Highway Department to modify the speed humps or remove
the devices.
If a safety problem does not exist, a request for removal of installed speed hump(s) can be
submitted provided that 75% of households residing within the subject street segment
support the request for removal. After proper review by Town staff and the Traffic Committee
it remains within the Town's discretion to decide on removal of the humps and road
restoration

Palmer Avenue and Richbell Road Traffic Signal
Town of Mamaroneck
December 15, 2023
Project Limits / Location:
• See attached Figure 1 for survey limits.
• Bandwidth = 40 ft. on either side of existing road centerline (total width of 80 ft.) for both
Palmer Avenue and Richbell Road.
Design Survey:
Topographic survey and mapping updates will be obtained by the Surveyor to perform the design
and develop construction documents.
A. Ground Survey
The Surveyor will provide terrain data as required for design by means of a topographic
field survey based on design requirements. Planimetric and Topographic Survey will locate
and verify all prominent features and terrain within the expected project work area.
Survey and mapping shall include at a minimum the following information:
o Pavement edge, road center line, curb, gutter, pavement markings and stripes
• Bottom face of curb, top face of curb, back of curb
o Utility poles, pole numbers, guy wires
o Utility wire elevations (electric, cable, fiber, telephone, etc.)
o Overhead and underground utilities (Surveyor to contact Dig Safe and obtain record
drawings to map existing underground infrastructure)
• Overhead utility lines and connections
• Surface evidence of underground utility systems including valves, meters,
release valves, manholes, inlet grates, shutoffs, etc.
o The Town is going to contact Westchester Joint Waterworks for sewer
and water record information. B&L will provide any drawings to
CIVILTEC for inclusion in the survey mapping.
• Where underground utility surface features are located, the underground feature
itself shall be shown and labelled (i.e. the storm/sanitary pipe between located
manholes shall have the size, material, rim and invert elevations labeled and
show the connection between manholes.)
o Hydrants
o Trees and shrubs (approximate diameter, deciduous/coniferous) and brush or forest
edge line.
o Fences, retaining walls, staircases.
• Bottom face of wall, top face of wall, top back of wall
• Bottom face of step, top face of step, etc.
o Sidewalks, driveways

o Signs and associated sign face text
o Mail and newspaper boxes
o Drainage structures and inverts, swales, ditches and structure frame elevations,
culvert pipes (material, size, invert)
C. Standards
Project control will conform to the following:
Horizontal Project Control:
• All horizontal coordinated will be New York State Plane Coordinate System
based on North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
• Baseline ties will be included for all baseline points within the project limits. Ties
shall be created with physical dimensions to existing surveyed features.
Vertical Project Control:
• Elevations shall be based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD
88).
Design Mapping
The Surveyor will provide the design mapping (all text and line styles) at 1"=40' scale.
Digital Mapping Deliverables:
o The mapping will be delivered in MicroStation V8i format (.dgn) following NYSDOT format in a file
that is in "Survey Feet" units. NYSDOT format criteria (including lines types, line weights and
name) can be referenced on the NYSDOT website at:
https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/design/dgab/hdm/hdm-repository/chapt 20.pdf.
• Surveys developed in programs other than MicroStation shall not include entities or blocks.
• All topographic symbols shall be placed using cells from the applicable
nyu_plan_(contents).cel cell library or with line styles from the nyu_linestyle_2006.rsc custom
line resource file (or latest Department released custom line resource file).
• Cells and line styles shall be placed at an active scale of 1 for a 1":1" scale B size plot. A
scale factor adjustment shall be made for files mapped at any scale, e.g., a scale factor of
480 would be used for files mapped at a scale of 1:480 (1"=40') for a B size plot.
• Baseline alignments, centerline alignments, highway boundary lines, property lines, profiles,
and cross sections shall be placed at elevation zero.
• All text shall be placed at either elevation zero or at an elevation equal to that of the feature it
is describing.
• Text strings shall not overlap each other so that they become unreadable on a plot with all of
the levels plotted. Point numbers for surveyed points may overlap.
• See Exhibit 20-4 of the Highway Design Manual for Feature Style and Level Naming
Convention
• Text associated with a survey point shall be in a layer/level associated with the main survey
feature layer/level. For example, text associated with curb shall be either RC_A, RC_I, RC_C
and the feature layer/level shall be RC.
• Survey points shall be included for all collected survey points and shall be on a separate
level/layer than the text for that point, and different from the feature.

Subject: Bid - TA-24-04 -Nancy Lane Storm Sewer Extension
General:
Bid procurement was recently completed for the Nancy Lane Storm Sewer Extension project. The
project scope involves the installation of two (2) new stormwater catch basins and underground
piping connection to the existing storm sewer system on Palmer Avenue. Installation of the new
Town drainage structures is intended to intercept surface runoff that regularly flows onto the Town
roadway and creates an unsafe ice condition during winter weather. The new catch basins will also
allow for future private drain connections to be permitted from the existing homes that currently
illicitly discharge onto the road surface.
On February 23, 2024, fifteen (15) bid proposals were received as summarized on the attached bid
tabulation table. The lowest responsive proposal was determined to be provided from "Jablko
Construction" at the submitted base bid price of $70,925.00. The submitted low-bid proposal was
reviewed by Engineering staff. No errors or omissions that could potentially impact the viability of
the submitted bid price have been identified at this time. References provided by the Contractor were
contacted for review of their completed work performance. All references, that included area
municipal clients, shared positive experiences during their work with Jablko Construction. Based
upon these considerations, the Engineering Depailinent recommends authorization of contract award
to Jablko Construction in the base bid contract amount of$70,925.00.
Budget for the Nancy Lane Storm Sewer Extension was planned as part of capital project H5113.
Funding currently available in the capital project is sufficient for award of this contract with
additional contingency reserve for potential unforeseen conditions encountered during construction.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Subject: Leaf Blower Law
General:
The plan was to enact a law addressed solely to leaf blowers, specifically the eventual elimination of
gas-powered leaf blowers. The problem is that the rules in the Town Code involving leaf blowers are
intertwined with the rules regarding the outdoor use of other types of power tools. Much like threads
of a sweater, one cannot remove one thread without unraveling the others. The solution is to
disassociate the rules regarding the outdoor use of power tools from the rules regarding leaf blowers.
The proposed local law (attached) does that and at the same time conforms the separate rules where
consistency is warranted or appropriate.
The second half of the proposed law (see "Article III Restrictions on the Operation of Leaf Blowers"
on page 4 and beyond)is the stand-alone law for leaf blower. The Board has seen this text before.
The first half of the proposed law teases out the rules on leaf blowers from the rules on power tools,
makes some changes to the rules regarding the outdoor use of power tools and adds provisions that
make it consistent with the leaf blower law. To aid the Board's review, I submit a copy of the current
law which I have annotated with the proposed changes or have indicated the provisions proposed to
be repealed and the provisions that would replace the repealed text.

Local Law No. -2024
This local law shall be known as the "Separation of the Rules regarding the Outdoor Operation of
Power Tools from the Rules regarding the Operation of Leaf Blowers, and the Phase-out of
Gasoline-Powered Leaf Blowers" Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 -Purpose:
In 1995, citing the unacceptable noise levels heard by residents in dozens of homes surrounding
the site where power tools or gasoline-powered leaf blowers are being used, the negative impact
of their constant use on the peace, quiet, health and welfare of the community, and noting that
their use diminishes the quality of life in our community, the Town passed a local law that limited
the use of such devices to certain months and to certain hours.
Much more is now known about the effects of gasoline-powered leaf blowers upon the
environment. They emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and noxious fumes at ground level
that can be inhaled by persons and animals in the vicinity of their use. They generate a louder
noise over a longer distance than leaf blowers that are not powered by internal combustion
engines. Moreover, advances in technology have made electric-powered leaf blowers increasingly
more efficient and a viable alternative to gas-powered ones.
Accordingly, the Town Board finds that for the benefit of the overall the health and welfare of the
community, the use of gasoline-powered leaf blowers in the unincorporated area of the Town of
Mamaroneck should be phased out.
Section 2-Amendment of a current article of the Mamaroneck Code:
The title of Article II of Chapter 141 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is repealed
and the following substituted in its place:

Re: Resolution Waiving Penalties and Interest on Late Payments of Real Property
Taxes Due to Alleged Criminal Activity
Date: March 20, 2024
Attached is a memo from Town Comptroller, Tracy Yogman, regarding the recent increase in check
fraud that has affected Town residents. Residents have reported receiving outstanding tax notices but
believe they have paid their taxes on time. To remedy this unique situation resulting from criminal
activity, we ask the Board to consider waiving the penalties and interest on the delinquent payments
caused by fraudulent activity. A full resolution has been prepared by Town Attorney Maker for your
consideration, and could be acted upon as follows:
Action Requested:
Resolved that the Town Board hereby approves the waiver of penalties and interest on
delinquent payments caused by fraudulent activity as per the attached resolution.

Subject: Resolution Waiving Penalties and Interest on Late Payments of Real Property
Taxes Due to Alleged Criminal Activity
General:
There has been a significant increase in check fraud over the past few years. Although check usage
has declined, check fraud is a low-tech and relatively easy crime to pull off, and there is still a
sizeable pool of potential victims. Fraudsters are removing the ink ("washing"), selling blank checks
or writing in whatever they want.
Recovering funds lost in these scenarios cannot be guaranteed, and any recovery depends on the
receiving depository institution. If recovery is possible, it often takes more than six months.
The Comptroller's office has become of aware of this issue when residents receive outstanding tax
due notices but believe they have paid their taxes on time. Through no fault of their own, their checks
have been washed and cashed to unknown recipients other than the Town. Penalties continue to
accrue on the taxes owed in accordance with the law.
In order to provide relief to those residents affected by this criminal activity, a resolution is proposed
for the Town Board's consideration to authorize the Tax Receiver to waive the penalties and interest
on these fraudulently cashed payments provided certain documentation is submitted to the Town.

Resolution Waiving Penalties and Interest on Late Payments of Real Property Taxes due to Alleged
Criminal Activity-March 2024
Page 48 of 74
Resolution Waiving Penalties and Interest on Late Payments of Real Property Taxes Due to
Alleged Criminal Activity
On motion of Council , seconded by Council , the
Town Board finds and approves the following:
WHEREAS, there have been numerous occasions since the beginning of 2024 when
checks to pay real property taxes have been mailed by taxpayers only to be intercepted,
altered to change the payee and sometimes the amount (a process known as "washing")
and fraudulently cashed,
WHEREAS, as a result of this criminal activity, payments of real property taxes that
otherwise would have been made before the imposition of interest and penalties have
not been made,
WHEREAS, the Receiver of Taxes is required by law to impose interest and penalties on
late tax payments regardless of the circumstances that led to the delinquency,
WHEREAS, because the law requires it, the Receiver of Taxes has been compelled to
charge interest and penalties, or advise taxpayers that interest and penalties will be
charged, on late tax payments even though the delay was through no fault of the
taxpayer,
WHEREAS, the Town Board determines that imposing interest and penalties when late
payment is due to criminal activity in which the taxpayer played no part is not in the
best interest of the Town,
WHEREAS, these facts present a unique situation,
WHEREAS, based upon the foregoing and acting pursuant to Real Property Tax Law
§1182, it is the best interests of the Town to authorize the Receiver of Taxes,upon receipt
of proper proof, to accept late payments of real property taxes without imposing interest
and penalties.
NOW THEREFORE,BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Receiver of Taxes hereby is directed to accept late payments of real
property taxes, without imposing interest and penalties, in full satisfaction of unpaid
real property taxes if the taxpayer
(1) provides a sworn statement that affirms (a) that a check was drawn for the
purpose of paying the taxpayer's real property taxes, (b) that the check was mailed on or
Page 49 of 74
before the last day when a real property tax can be paid without interest and penalties
being imposed and (c) that the taxpayer was unaware that the check had been
intercepted and altered until after the check was negotiated,
(2)produces a copy of the check that the taxpayer claims was altered, and
(3) presents proof that such check was negotiated, and
(4) supplies proof that the institution upon which such check was drawn has
reimbursed the taxpayer for the amount for which the check was drawn, and
(5) signs a statement authorizing the Receiver of Taxes to contact the institution
upon which such check was drawn for the sole purpose of confirming that such
institution reimbursed the taxpayer for the amount for which the check was drawn,
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that upon receiving the aforementioned documentation from a taxpayer
who has paid real property taxes with interest and penalties, the Receiver of Taxes is
directed to waive or refund (if paid) such interest and penalties,without interest, to such
taxpayer, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, nothing in this resolution shall prevent the Receiver of Taxes, after
consulting the Town Administrator and the Town Attorney, from collecting interest and
penalties or refusing to refund same if the Receiver has a legitimate reason not to believe
the taxpayer's sworn statement or that the check presented by the taxpayer had not been
altered or was not drawn for the purpose of paying the taxpayer's real property taxes,
and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that the Receiver of Taxes shall advise anyone denied the relief authorized
by this resolution that such person has the right to appeal such decision to the Town
Board within twenty(20) days of being notified of the denial, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, the direction and authority given to the Receiver of Taxes by this resolution
shall expire without further action by the Town Board on August 31, 2024 except that
after this resolution expires, the Receiver of Taxes shall refund interest and penalties to,
2
Page 50 of 74
or accept late payments of real property taxes without imposing interest and penalties,
in full satisfaction of unpaid real property taxes from, taxpayers who complied with the
requirements of this resolution before this resolution shall have expired, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that because this situation is unique and occasioned by criminal activity,
the Town Board does not consider its action in this matter to be setting a precedent for
dealing with other properties that are delinquent in payment of their real property taxes.
The above resolution was put to a roll call vote:

Palmer Avenue and Richbell Road Traffic Signal
Town of Mamaroneck
December 15, 2023
Project Limits / Location:
• See attached Figure 1 for survey limits.
• Bandwidth = 40 ft. on either side of existing road centerline (total width of 80 ft.) for both
Palmer Avenue and Richbell Road.
Design Survey:
Topographic survey and mapping updates will be obtained by the Surveyor to perform the design
and develop construction documents.
A. Ground Survey
The Surveyor will provide terrain data as required for design by means of a topographic
field survey based on design requirements. Planimetric and Topographic Survey will locate
and verify all prominent features and terrain within the expected project work area.
Survey and mapping shall include at a minimum the following information:
o Pavement edge, road center line, curb, gutter, pavement markings and stripes
• Bottom face of curb, top face of curb, back of curb
o Utility poles, pole numbers, guy wires
o Utility wire elevations (electric, cable, fiber, telephone, etc.)
o Overhead and underground utilities (Surveyor to contact Dig Safe and obtain record
drawings to map existing underground infrastructure)
• Overhead utility lines and connections
• Surface evidence of underground utility systems including valves, meters,
release valves, manholes, inlet grates, shutoffs, etc.
o The Town is going to contact Westchester Joint Waterworks for sewer
and water record information. B&L will provide any drawings to
CIVILTEC for inclusion in the survey mapping.
• Where underground utility surface features are located, the underground feature
itself shall be shown and labelled (i.e. the storm/sanitary pipe between located
manholes shall have the size, material, rim and invert elevations labeled and
show the connection between manholes.)
o Hydrants
o Trees and shrubs (approximate diameter, deciduous/coniferous) and brush or forest
edge line.
o Fences, retaining walls, staircases.
• Bottom face of wall, top face of wall, top back of wall

o Signs and associated sign face text
o Mail and newspaper boxes
o Drainage structures and inverts, swales, ditches and structure frame elevations,
culvert pipes (material, size, invert)
C. Standards
Project control will conform to the following:
Horizontal Project Control:
• All horizontal coordinated will be New York State Plane Coordinate System
based on North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
• Baseline ties will be included for all baseline points within the project limits. Ties
shall be created with physical dimensions to existing surveyed features.
Vertical Project Control:
• Elevations shall be based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD
88).
Design Mapping
The Surveyor will provide the design mapping (all text and line styles) at 1"=40' scale.
Digital Mapping Deliverables:
o The mapping will be delivered in MicroStation V8i format (.dgn) following NYSDOT format in a file
that is in "Survey Feet" units. NYSDOT format criteria (including lines types, line weights and
name) can be referenced on the NYSDOT website at:
https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/design/dgab/hdm/hdm-repository/chapt 20.pdf.
• Surveys developed in programs other than MicroStation shall not include entities or blocks.
• All topographic symbols shall be placed using cells from the applicable
nyu_plan_(contents).cel cell library or with line styles from the nyu_linestyle_2006.rsc custom
line resource file (or latest Department released custom line resource file).
• Cells and line styles shall be placed at an active scale of 1 for a 1":1" scale B size plot. A
scale factor adjustment shall be made for files mapped at any scale, e.g., a scale factor of
480 would be used for files mapped at a scale of 1:480 (1"=40') for a B size plot.
• Baseline alignments, centerline alignments, highway boundary lines, property lines, profiles,
and cross sections shall be placed at elevation zero.
• All text shall be placed at either elevation zero or at an elevation equal to that of the feature it
is describing.
• Text strings shall not overlap each other so that they become unreadable on a plot with all of
the levels plotted. Point numbers for surveyed points may overlap.
• See Exhibit 20-4 of the Highway Design Manual for Feature Style and Level Naming
Convention
• Text associated with a survey point shall be in a layer/level associated with the main survey
feature layer/level. For example, text associated with curb shall be either RC_A, RC_I, RC_C
and the feature layer/level shall be RC.
• Survey points shall be included for all collected survey points and shall be on a separate
level/layer than the text for that point, and different from the feature.

Subject: Bid - TA-24-04 -Nancy Lane Storm Sewer Extension
General:
Bid procurement was recently completed for the Nancy Lane Storm Sewer Extension project. The
project scope involves the installation of two (2) new stormwater catch basins and underground
piping connection to the existing storm sewer system on Palmer Avenue. Installation of the new
Town drainage structures is intended to intercept surface runoff that regularly flows onto the Town
roadway and creates an unsafe ice condition during winter weather. The new catch basins will also
allow for future private drain connections to be permitted from the existing homes that currently
illicitly discharge onto the road surface.
On February 23, 2024, fifteen (15) bid proposals were received as summarized on the attached bid
tabulation table. The lowest responsive proposal was determined to be provided from "Jablko
Construction" at the submitted base bid price of $70,925.00. The submitted low-bid proposal was
reviewed by Engineering staff. No errors or omissions that could potentially impact the viability of
the submitted bid price have been identified at this time. References provided by the Contractor were
contacted for review of their completed work performance. All references, that included area
municipal clients, shared positive experiences during their work with Jablko Construction. Based
upon these considerations, the Engineering Depailinent recommends authorization of contract award
to Jablko Construction in the base bid contract amount of$70,925.00.
Budget for the Nancy Lane Storm Sewer Extension was planned as part of capital project H5113.
Funding currently available in the capital project is sufficient for award of this contract with
additional contingency reserve for potential unforeseen conditions encountered during construction.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
