Parking Lot #1
Mr. Altieri explained that beginning this fall Metro North will offer a train directly to
Giants Stadium in New Jersey for the New York Giants and the New York Jets Football
games. The New Haven Line will stop only in Rye and Larchmont. This could mean
that for 16 Sundays during the NFL Football Season the Town could see an influx of
cars attempting to use Lot#1 on weekends. The Board discussed a potential charge for
parking on Sundays, except for resident permit holders. The Town will contact the
Village of Larchmont for coordinating potential policy. The Board will continue this
discussion at a future meeting.

this project was included in the 2009 bonding.

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
1. Set Public Hearing — Key Box Law
Mr. Altieri explained the purpose of the proposed Local Law as follows:
7
July 7, 2009
The Town Board finds that in order to protect the health, safety and welfare
of the citizens of the unincorporated area of the Town of Mamaroneck,
during fires or when other emergencies arise, the Fire Department must be
able to gain access to buildings of a certain size or which contain a certain
use and to properties where access is restricted.
One recognized method for providing access to firefighters and other
emergency responders is the installation of “Key Boxes”. Key Boxes are
located outside buildings. They contain keys to locks within the building
which lock areas, such as mechanical rooms, to which firefighters need
access to, for example, shut off electrical service during a conflagration. To
maintain security, only the Fire Department will have the keys that open the
Key Boxes.
For properties to which access is restricted by locked fences or gates,
Security Padlocks or Key Switches provide access to firefighters and other
emergency responders when there is an emergency. As with Key Boxes, for
security purposes, only the Fire Department will have the keys that unlock
.
the Security Padlocks or turn the Key Switches
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Mamaroneck Town Board does hereby set the
date for a Public Hearing on the proposed “Key Box Law”, for
August 12, 2009 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible in
the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road,
Mamaroneck, New York, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized to publish the
notice of said hearing in a newspaper appointed as an official
newspaper, and that said notice be posted.
2. Set Public Hearing — No Parking Zone — Maxwell Avenue
Mr. Altieri explained that cars are frequently parking on the east side of Maxwell Avenue
making it virtually impossible for large trucks to pass when vehicles are traveling in
both directions. This is creating an unsafe condition for the flow of trucks to the Town
Yard.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Fishman, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Mamaroneck Town Board does hereby set the
date for a Public Hearing on the proposed “No Parking Maxwell
Avenue”, for August 12, 2009 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is
possible in the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post

SUPERVISOR’S REPORT
Supervisor O’Keeffe discussed her recent meeting with neighboring officials, Mayor
Savolt of the Village of Mamaroneck, Mayor Liz Feld of the Village of Larchmont, Mayor
Joan Feinstein of Rye Brook and Mayor Denis Pilla of the Village of Port Chester.
Their discussion centered around consolidation and shared services, not only of Local
Municipalities but also on the County and State level. Of particular note was a
discussion of the dissolution of the Town of Rye, if the Villages of Port Chester and Rye
Brook became coterminous, the Suozzi Study, as well as publications from the
Department of State regarding consolidation. She noted this publication should be
distributed to the Town’s newly formed Consolidation/Shared Services Committee.
Supervisor O’Keeffe stated this was a very informative and productive discussion on
consolidation and shared services. This group of Officials will meet again next month.

speakers from the Department of Environmental Conservation’s Bureau of Water

certainly hear a lot more about in the future.

and tomorrow she will attend the Planning Board Meeting. Councilwoman Seligson also
th
attended the LISWIC Meeting on June 26. Of particular note and excitement was the

stream of residents complaining about speeding on Edgewood Avenue. The Traffic
Committee has discussed installing large signs alerting drivers of their speed.

significant factor in the delay of the opening.
