2. Discussion of - 2024 Operating Budget Amendments
Comptroller Yogman presented a 2024 operating budget amendment to the Town
Board in compliance with the Town's Budget Policy. The amendment includes a
$5,431.23 insurance recovery (SL5182) for replacing a streetlight on West Boston
Post Road that was knocked down in an auto accident.
3. Discussion of - 2024 Capital Budget Amendments
Comptroller Yogman presented three 2024 capital budget amendments to the Town
Board for approval. First, additional consulting hours were needed to complete the
implementation of the Munis financial system's enterprise asset management module
Town Board
November 6, 2024
used by Highway and the Garage. Additionally, timeclocks and iPads must be
purchased for employees to record their hours worked. A budget amendment in the
amount of $44,000 is recommended for these items (H1689).
Second, the cost of outfitting the Fire Chiefs car was slightly higher than planned.
Therefore, a budget amendment of$688.56 is recommended to cover these
additional expenses (H3472).
Lastly, the Pool project is still in the early planning stages and likely won't require
funding until 2026. Consequently, the originally planned funds will be returned to the
General Fund, with the project's design funded through a grant that remains in place.
A budget amendment returning $1 ,000,000 to the General Fund is recommended
(H7125).
4. Discussion of - 2025 Tentative Budget
Supervisor Elkind Eney shared several recent funding requests from community
nonprofit organizations with the Board. The Board discussed maintaining the same
funding levels for these organizations in 2025 as were provided in 2024.
See Attachment A.
5. Changes to Regular Meeting Agenda
Supervisor Elkind Eney added to the Regular Meeting agenda the reappointment of
Lisa Collins to the Board of Assessment Review and the reappointment of three
members of the Coastal Zone Management Commission.

Councilmember Fiddelman reported that the Housing Authority had recently identified
three Town signs around the Hommocks Park Apartments that require their posts to

SUPERVISOR'S REPORT
Welcome to the November 6, 2024, meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck.
The Town Board met today for a Work Session in Conference Room A, starting at 5:00 pm,
which is open to the Public.
I do not think it is appropriate for me in my role as chief elected official of the Town of
Mamaroneck, at a Town Board Meeting, to comment on the national election results of last
night. My Supervisor's Report this evening will be, as it always is, limited to my role as the
chief elected official of the Town of Mamaroneck.
First, I wish to congratulate County Executive George Latimer on his election to become our
US Congressman, Shelley Mayer on her re-election as our State Senator, and Steve Otis on
his re-election as our State Assemblyman. I also congratulate Larchmont Village Mayor
Sarah Bauer and Larchmont Trustees Peter Fanelli and Terence Pare on their re-election.
Finally, I congratulate the Village of Mamaroneck Trustees who were elected last night, Dan
Kushnick, Ellen Silver and Maria DeRose as well as Justice Dan Gallagher who was re-
elected.
I look forward to working with all of you for the benefit of our community!
Town Board
November 6, 2024
The past two weeks were full of great events in the Town that I happily attended.
On October 21st I attended Dedication of the Hillside Avenue Bridge in the Village of
Mamaroneck. The bridge was dedicated to the memory of Assistant Village Manager Daniel
J. Sarnoff. This past May, Dan passed away having served the Village for over 14 years. I
had the pleasure of working with Dan on the construction of the Waverly Avenue Bridge and
meeting with him at Town Village School Meetings. He was knowledgeable, cooperative,
creative and pleasant. He was a consummate professional. He is missed.
October 23rd, I attended Larchmont Library Director Laura Eckley's Retirement Party. Laura
was the Director of the Larchmont Public Library for the past 12 years. Under her leadership
and vision, the Library became a dynamic center of the Community as she worked with the
staff to reinvent and expand its offerings. The Library also became a refuge, particularly
during the pandemic and Hurricane Ida. In addition, Laura inspired her staff while also
fostering wonderful relationships with the Community and the Boards of the Town of
Mamaroneck, Village of Larchmont, and Friends of the Library. Her achievements were
unparalleled, and Laura Eckley will be greatly missed.
On October 25th I attended the TMFD Inspection Dinner: The Town of Mamaroneck Fire
Department Inspection Dinner celebrated, among other achievements, two new honorary
Chiefs: Mike Pinto and Matt McCauley. Retiring Fleet Manager Mike Pinto was honored for
being available to our Fire Department 24/7 to take care of whatever repairs were needed to
our firetrucks any time of day. Matt McCauley, a Town of Mamaroneck Prosecutor and First
Responder who reported for duty at Ground Zero on 9/11/2001, was honored for fighting for
benefits and compensation for ill and injured first responders and civilian survivors through
the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.
Just prior to the dinner, the Department's personnel and equipment were inspected by the
Chiefs and our elected officials. This tradition, which occurs annually, ensures all are in
excellent condition and ready for service for another year.
Thank you, TMFD, for all you do for our community each and every day.
October Halloween Events: LGCA, Ragamuffin, TMFD:
Every year, I have a spooky good time at the Halloween events in Town which included the
Larchmont Gardens Civic Association's Halloween Stroll, the Ragamuffin Parade and our
Town's very own Harry Potter-themed Halloween event at our haunted Weaver Street
Firehouse.
Daylight Savings Time began this past Sunday. As a reminder, please check batteries in
your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
I'll end on a happy note because we could all use a little cheer. We have had some big life
cycle events in the Town this week.
• Deputy Fire Chief Alex Rapp and his wife Cheryl are the proud parents of a baby girl,
Sidney, born this past Monday! A great excuse for his missing our fire council meeting.
Mother and baby are doing well! Congrats to all!
• And I became a mother-in -law as my daughter got married this past weekend. It was
a magical experience.
Be safe!

BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD

Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, the
Public Hearing was unanimously opened.
Carried
Attorney Maker introduced the proposed local law. Councilmember King added that
the Town Board had discussed this proposed local law at length during Work
Sessions for quite some time.
Suzanne Techs, 1 Edgewater Place, was on hand to thank the Board for the this
proposed local law. She had originally made the request for a change in the existing
law she explained, because there is a boat trailer in the one available on-street
parking spot near her home for 363 days the year. The only two days each year the
trailer is not there is when it is in use with the boat going into the water or coming out
of the water for the season. Ms. Techs provided the Town Board with photos taken of
the trailer throughout the past year. She exclaimed if there were more street parking
available, it would not be a problem.
See Attachment B.
Ms. Techs did have a question about the term 'public highway' used in the proposed
local law. Attorney Maker reassured Ms. Techs that the law would apply to all public
streets in the Town.

RESIDENT COMMENTS
Mr. Umar Mian addressed the Town Board to share his and his neighbors' concerns about
flooding issues around their properties. Mr. Mian has lived at 6 Adrian Circle for the past
seventeen years. For the first ten years that he lived in the Town, there were no flooding
problems. However, now all four houses on his block become isolated during heavy rains
due to water streaming from Griffin Avenue and the Winged Foot Golf Course that then
converge on his property. Although his basement remains dry, his neighbors are not as
fortunate. He expressed frustration and anxiety over the increasing flooding, describing it as
post-traumatic-stress-inducing for his family. Mr. Mian described how floodwaters from a hill
on Winged Foot Golf Course create flash floods, exacerbating the issue. He urged the Town
Board to address this problem soon. Mr. Mian emphasized the psychological impact on his
family, who anxiously monitor rainfall due to past experiences.
Ms. Yana Rozovsky, who resides at 9 Kolbert Drive, presented a packet to the Town Board
with a letter from the group of neighbors and photos spanning several years.
Ms. Kerry Graff, Ms. Rozovsky's neighbor at 11 Kolbert Drive, recounted experiencing four
severe floods since 2011 . She stated that the most recent two flood brought four feet of
water, debris, and wildlife into her home, traumatizing her children. Ms. Graff requested the
Town prioritize flood mitigation in the 2025 budget and seek additional measures to manage
the water flow behind Mr. Mian's house, through Ms. Rozovsky's property, down the street
and its progression into Murdock Woods.
The group urged the Board, for their benefit and that of their neighbors, to consider
advancing the Stormwater Management Report's recommended actions to mitigate flooding
in the Town. They added that addressing the problem 'upstream' at their location, where
water from Scarsdale converges with Winged Foot runoff, as doing so could potentially
alleviate issues further 'downstream' in the Town.

REPORTS OF THE COUNCIL
Councilmember Nambiar:
• Happy to have attended Mike Pinto's retirement party. Mike was a valuable and
respected staff member at the Town for a long time. Both current and past staff, along
with community members, attended, which was great to see. We are fortunate to have
such dedicated, friendly staff.

renovations at Hommocks Park Apartments. The Housing Authority has done a great
job.
• Attended the Kemper Memorial veteran's event, where a moving letter from a
grandfather to a friend, describing his experience in the first wave at Normandy, was
read. It was a poignant reminder of what veterans have endured to protect our country
and freedoms.
Councilmember King:

basketball game.
• Participated in discussions on returfing Alma Field with the Coastal Zone

TOWN CLERK'S REPORT
The Town hosted over 43,000 early voters here at the Town Center, so the Town Clerk
thanked everyone who helped with both Early Voting and the General Election. An extra
special thank you goes to the Town of Mamaroneck Police Department for their assistance,
from working the line to helping those with disabilities and ensuring our parking lot was safe
for all; to our friendly greeters; and to Mike and RJ, who did an amazing job keeping up with
the constant flow of voters. Many thanks to all the poll workers and everyone who voted here
in the Town!
Thank you, also, to everyone who has completed the Town of Mamaroneck Parking Survey!
We've received over 1 ,000 unique responses. Initial results show that 75% of our responses
are from the Town of Mamaroneck, and of those:
• 36% would like to see a daily, weekly, or monthly parking pass option.
• 33% would like more hourly non-permitted metered spaces at Memorial Park for
recreational use.
The survey will close this Friday at noon, so please respond soon if you haven't already.
Stay tuned for more feedback.

TOWN ATTORNEY'S REPORT
Attorney Maker congratulated Councilmember Nambiar for accurately predicting the
Dodgers' World Series win. He mentioned the World Series was a terrible disappointment for
some, as it was set up as a bitter rivalry but ended up simply being a dull defensive match.

starts.

TOWN OF MAMARONECK BUDGET REQUEST
FISCAL YEAR 2025
BUDGET REQUEST FOR 2025: $60,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In 1966, Mamaroneck educator and community organizer, Dee DaBramo, had a vision of raising the
self-esteem of Mamaroneck teenagers by employing them to create an affordable summer enrichment
experience for young children. With that vision, he launched "Summer Co-Op."As its name implies, the
program was always a "cooperative"- an investment in both the lives of underserved young children
and in the lives of our teenagers through a cooperative commitment of funding from the school district,
local philanthropic dollars and the Town and Village of Mamaroneck.
Today, Co-Op reaches over 270 Mamaroneck School District children, the majority of whom (90%)
qualify based on financial need (free/reduced lunch). The majority of the children attend the five week
elementary program for grades 1-5. There is also a five week leadership development program, RISE,
for 7th and 8th graders and a two week Middle School transition program for 6th graders. Families pay
a small registration free but no family is turned away if they can not pay. Each year, we have between
10-25 families who cannot afford to pay at all. Co-Op is unique because it is a local, affordable program
that provides both a classic day camp experience and academic enrichment program.
Over the decades, Co-Op has served thousands of children and become part of the fabric of our
community with generations of children from the same families attending and/or working at the
program. Today, Co-Op's mission is to create equal access to quality summer programming because
summer matters in the lives of children. We provide a blend of summer learning and summer fun. The
program provides weekly STEM "majors," swim instruction (86% of Co-Op children can not swim at
summer start), recreation, field trips and traditional summer experiences like our Color Wars
competition.
Our standards of excellence recently earned us a national prize, the 2023 NY Life and National
Summer Learning Association's Excellence in Summer Learning award. (View a short video produced
for those awards via this iink.) Co-Op was one of only 8 programs recognized nationally and we
received our award from Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. Co-Op is a high impact, results
oriented program that is changing the lives of children, tweens and teens through the transofrmative
power of high quality summer enrichment.
Town Board
November 6, 2024
Attachment A (Cont'd)
FY 2025 REQUEST
To support the Summer 2025 Co-Op Summer Enrichment program, we are seeking $60,000 of support.
This funding helps to pay for:
• Bussing costs for field trips, swimming, to/from the program
• Staffing costs for our aquatics team, counselor team and management team
• Equipment for all programming including teaching supplies and recreation equipment
NEED
In 2017, The STEM Alliance started as the Lead Administrator for Co-Op. Since then, The STEM
Alliance has been a committed partner working to ensure that the highest quality of programming
teaches the highest possible number of campers. Our full impact metrics are summarized in our
Annual Report which can be found on our website: https://coopsummer.org/annual-report.html. Overall,
our Co-Op data shows that the program supports critical social, emotional growth along with school
preparedness skills. Campers indicate that as a result of attending Co-Op, they feel more ready for
school in September. Co-Op campers are also more likely to hold their reading scores or have reading
gains when they return to school in September. Finally. another data point of significance is that later in
their school career. Co-Op campers are more likely than their same socio-economic peers to be in
honors and AP classes at the high school. These results align with research that shows that
participating in summer camp programs has long term positive benefits for children.
Over this same time period, we also grew the program to reach not just rising 1st to 5th graders but
also rising 6th, 7th and 8th graders. This resulted in a 19% overall program growth. Beyond adding
children, we have also increased the number of young adult staff members whom we hire, increased
their pay, added bonuses and added a focus on inclusion. Annually, we now hire young people with
special needs including at least one student from the Transitional Academy at Mamaroneck High
School.
As a final part of our public-private partnership commitment to this work, The STEM Alliance leads an
annual fundraising campaign to raise all of the money needed to supplement our MUFSD contract
dollars. The MUFSD monies-which include the Town of Mamaroneck(TOM) monies-do not cover all
program costs. At this time, annually, we need to raise a minimum of$200,000 in philanthropic dollars
in order to cover all program costs. The challenge is that the MUFSD monies and municipal dollars
have not followed in line with our increased expenditures caused by both program expansion and
inflation. In 2017, the MUFSD dollars covered 58% of the program costs. In 2024, the MUFSD dollars
covered only 47% of the program costs. For this reason, at this time, we are requesting an increase
in budget commitment in the TOM budget in order to provide $60,000 in support for Co-Op. This
would be the first increase in TOM dollars in the past 10 years. Funding will support high
inflation costs for trip entrances, busing and salaries as well as ensure that no family is turned
about due to cost.

Dear Mrs. Robson and Mr. Wasp,
Mrs. Schneider (Ronna) had a very informative and positive meeting with Mr. Wasp
concerning the water issues that include our four houses due to the stream.As we
understand, the consultants who the town hired have a solution. They recommend
widening the stream and renovating the bridges to increase capacity and flow of the
stream. We were also told the town can apply for a grant to have this work completed.
6 Adrian Circle has the first bridge over the stream and it acts as a bottleneck placing
our homes at extreme risk for problems. In addition, we would like to draw your attention
to the rain water that flows from the Winged Foot golf course and from 165 Griffen
Avenue. During heavy rains, this forms a tributary to the stream and flows at the back of
our houses. It then cuts across the backyard of 9 Kolbert, and then goes back into the
stream between 9 and 11 Kolbert Drive. We strongly request the town address this
problem as well. Our backyards constantly flood. We are extremely concerned because
we continue to see unprecedented rain events happening here and all over the country.
The recent downpour in Monroe, Connecticut is a very frightening example.
Fortunately, Mr. Wasp has been very helpful as he is completely aware of this situation.
Since these projects take time for completion, we urge the Town to fast track our case
and have the work done as soon as possible. Please let us know if there is anything we
can do to help expedite it. If it is helpful to have an in-person meeting or our presence at
any of the board meetings, please let us know.
We thank you in anticipation of your efforts to fix this concerning issue. Every time there
is any amount rain forecasted we all live in fear that we will have flooding issues once
again. We look forward to hearing from you as to what the next steps should be.
Regards
Rabia and Umar Mian
