Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, the Work Session unanimously opened at 5:04 p.m. Carried WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. Discussion - Immigration Policy Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney welcomed the community representatives in attendance and explained that County Legislator and attorney David Imamura would be joining via conference call. Supervisor Elkind Eney noted County Legislator Imamura's expertise in drafting the Irvington Immigrant Enforcement Policy and suggested he could provide valuable insights on recent federal policy developments. Supervisor Elkind Eney handed out a recent article on the Justice Department's intention to prosecute local officials over immigrant enforcement. See Attachment A. Legislator Imamura joined the meeting via conference call. Supervisor Eney started the discussion by asking for his perspective and advice on the current situation. Legislator Imamura expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to speak and highlighted how problematic the Department of Justice's internal memo is which threatens criminal prosecution of local officials for not enforcing federal immigration directives under Donald Trump. Legislator Imamura recommended waiting a few weeks for the New York Attorney General's office to release new guidance for municipalities on how to navigate these policies. Continuing the discussion, Legislator Imamura emphasized the importance of developing a comprehensive policy and mentioned his personal willingness to face jail time to support these policies. Councilmember Nichinsky questioned whether the Irvington policy violated any federal law, noting that it was designed to comply with 8 Town Board January 22, 2025 USC 1373, which mandates providing information to the federal government when requested. Legislator Imamura acknowledged that the policy was drafted with legal compliance in mind but suggested waiting to see the broader implications of federal actions under the Trump administration before finalizing any local policies. He stressed the need for a policy that reassures the immigrant community while ensuring that local officials are not subject to arrest or prosecution. Supervisor Elkind Eney then asked Police Chief Creazzo about the Town's current policies, which align with the New York State SOP and the Irvington policy, ensuring compliance with federal and state laws. Chief Creazzo confirmed that the Town of Mamaroneck Police Department does not act as ICE officers and follows specific provisions for handling finger-printable violent crimes verses a civil detainer. Supervisor Eney inquired about making a reassuring statement in support of the immigrant community while awaiting new guidance. Legislator Imamura suggested that the existing policies should suffice but recommended consulting our community activists for additional input. Councilmember Fiddelman asked about the timing of new guidance from the New York Attorney General, and Legislator Imamura indicated that it should be imminent, potentially mirroring previous guidance from 2017. Supervisor Elkind Eney then asked for recommendations on the most effective way to proceed, including whether to pass something that night, or address the broader criminal prosecution question. Legislator Imamura reiterated the importance of waiting for clarity on federal actions and suggested making a statement that the Town is working on the issue and will continue to follow current practices. Councilmember Nichinsky proposed making a statement that aligns with the New York State accreditation policies and current practices while further researching a resolution. Councilmember Jeffery King agreed, emphasizing the importance of clear communication with the community and providing a point of contact for any questions. Jean-Pierre Poyet, in attendance on behalf of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Human Rights Committee raised concern about the vulnerability of schoolteachers and the need for their protection in the policy as well. Supervisor Elkind Eney mentioned her plans to call the School Superintendent to discuss the situation, noting though that schools would need to develop their own policies. Councilmember Fiddelman added that school districts have been proactive in organizing their policies and meeting regularly. Councilmember Nichinsky pointed out that executive orders directed at schools are outside the Town's jurisdiction. Mike Reichgott, also in attendance representing the Neighbors for Refugees, highlighted the availability of "Know Your Rights" materials online. Janet Fry, Deputy Executive Director of the Community Resource Center supported disseminating information from various sources to reassure the immigrant community. Deputy Executive Director Fry added that the immigrant community is retreating out of fear, so the more sources in the community reaching out and showing a collective effort, will emphasize to our immigrant community that they are as safe as we can make them. Pam Brandman, of 4 Acorn Lane, agreed, reiterating that a coordinated effort would be best. Councilmember Nichinsky mentioned her work with the Immigrant Defense Project, which offers "Know Your Rights" literature as well, and is active across New York State. Janet Fry pointed people to the Community Resource Center's website which has a "Know Your Rights" section in English and Spanish. Supervisor Elkind Eney shared information about a postcard-writing get together to reach out to elected officials to urge them to protect the immigrant community, held the previous weekend, where they urged the importance of the Town's continued support. See Attachment B. Councilmember Fiddelman reiterated the importance of making the immigrant community feel safe reaching out for help and accessing services. The entire group agreed on the need to preserve trust and prevent fear from Executive Orders affecting our local schools. The entire group also agreed on the collective effort required to Town Board January 22, 2025 support the community, including coordination with other municipalities and issuing joint statements. Supervisor Elkind Eney suggested putting together a joint statement with other local municipalities and the Mamaroneck Union Free School District to show the community's unified support of our immigrant community. The meeting concluded with a plan for the Town Board to issue a statement that night and wait two weeks to review the situation and possibly prepare a Town resolution. 2. Discussion - Senior/Disability with Limited Income Exemptions Town Assessor Pamela Valenza explained two proposed changes to exemptions. The first is an extension of the firefighter exemption to include volunteers who reside in our community but who volunteer in neighboring communities who could become eligible for tax relief. The Board debated the definition of "neighboring" and the implications for tax benefits, deciding to maintain the current policy without changes due to potential legal challenges and fiscal concerns. The second exemption pertains to seniors, with New York State providing municipalities with four options to calculate income for tax reductions. The Town Board decided to continue using the current method, which includes untaxed Social Security but excludes taxable IRA distributions and will reassess the situation next year after evaluating Westchester County's changes. Councilmember Fiddelman requested that Assessor Valenza return to a Town Board meeting next year with enough time for the Board to make a decision based on the new information. 3. Discussion - Volunteer Firefighter & Ambulance Worker Exemption This item was included in the discussion for Item 2, above. 4. Discussion - 2025 Capital Budget Amendments Comptroller Yogman presented the proposed amendment for the 2025 capital budget related to the TAP grant. The Board discussed the need to increase the budget by $186,000 to manage the grant effectively. Town Administrator Robson explained that the Colonial Avenue Sidewalk project (H5199) required additional funds to maintain eligibility for reimbursement under the NYSDOT TAP Grant application. The increased cost estimate of $1,530,600 included funds for right-of-way acquisition and an additional contingency for design and construction inspection, as per NYSDOT's allowable ranges. A budget amendment to fund the additional project cost through the issuance of a bond, if necessary, was provided. Administrator Robson explained she thought this was just a necessary addition to ensure the project progresses in a timely way. Ms. Robson does not believe the extra funds are likely to be needed. 5. Discussion - NYSDOT TAP Grant Documents - Colonial Ave Pedestrian Improvement Project Administrator Robson gave a brief overview of the grant, explaining that the contract and resolution could not be changed. 6. Discussion - 2025 Ambulance District Fee Schedule Administrator Robson explained that we increase these fees for the Ambulance District every year relative to the annually updated Medicare rates. 7. Discussion - Concession License Agreement The Town Board discussed the renewal of the license agreement for the concession at the rink. Administrator Robson explained that the current concessionaire is the only one that responded to the last RFP a few years ago, and they have worked well with the Town, despite some initial issues. The amendment includes a new provision allowing the concessionaire to receive $50 from the rental fee for any rental that opts out of using their catering services, while still permitting renters to bring their own food. Town Board January 22, 2025 Supervisor Elkind Eney raised concerns about the concessionaire's limited operating hours, which have led to complaints from rink users. The Board acknowledged that the concessionaire is meeting the agreed-upon hours but discussed the possibility of adjusting the schedule to better align with rink activities. While the Board recognized the current concessionaire's satisfactory performance, the Board also requested issuing a new request for proposals (RFP) when this agreement is up in order to explore other potential concessionaires. Administrator Robson agreed to address the operating hours question, perhaps simply moving days/hours, with the concessionaire and revisiting an RFP next year. 8. Discussion - NYS DOT Supplementals & Extensions for Snow & Ice Removal Administrator Robson explained that the Town is reimbursed by New York State for road maintenance. Though this reimbursement involves old dates, the Town Administrator pointed out it had just been provided by the state. Councilmember Fiddelman inquired about the charges and Comptroller Yogman confirmed that the Town provides labor rates based on current staffing rates and includes separate categories for materials and equipment, but the Town is not reimbursed for any fixed costs or depreciation. The Board acknowledged the limitations of the reimbursement process and agreed to proceed as is. 9. OUT OF ORDER: Request for Executive Session Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, the Town Board agreed to enter into Executive Session to discuss the proposed sale of real property, current litigation on the Tree Law, and the employment history of a particular person or persons. Carried Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, the Town Board unanimously agreed to resume the Regular Meeting. Carried 10. Updates 11. Changes to Regular Meeting Agenda 8:00 PM TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING The Town Board meeting convened in the Conference Room C, located on the first floor at the Town Center. The Public was to view the meeting on cable access television (Optimum 76/ Fios 35) or on LMCMedia.org CALL TO ORDER The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Town Supervisor Elkind Eney at 8:01 p.m. The Town Supervisor noted that the Town Board met for a Work Session beginning at 5:00 p.m. this evening, which was open to the public. SUPERVISOR'S REPORT I attended the Annual Larchmont VAC Recognition Dinner. I think I can speak for all of us when I say how grateful we are to have this organization in our community. I was very impressed by the excitement and enthusiasm of the members. It was heartening to see both long-standing members and newer, younger members, which speaks well to the longevity and sustainability of the organization. I want to extend my thanks to them. The dinner was delicious, and it was a great evening. Town Board January 22, 2025 On the 14th, I attended the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Summit with Sabrina, Alli, and representatives from Westchester County. The Summit featured the Chambers of Commerce in the Village of Larchmont and Village of Mamaroneck. Representatives from both Chambers of Commerce spoke about the business community. I found it informative, and it underscored the importance of the business community to our area and their efforts to sustain and thrive. Later, I attended the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce meeting that night, which was a continuation of the same conversation. They discussed the success of their holiday events and future event plans. It's challenging to run a small business in a small town, competing with the internet and big box stores. They need to stick together and support one another to help the business community thrive, which contributes to our community's charm. On February 2nd, we will have an environmental event at Larchmont Temple titled "Solving Climate Change Begins at Home." The event will feature Lisa Chase, a green gardening expert; Adam Kaye, a chef specializing in minimizing food waste; and a representative from Sustainable Westchester who will discuss energy in our homes. Rabbi Leora Frankel will deliver an opening teaching. This event is free and open to the public and will take place at 4 pm at Larchmont Temple. Concerns for Our Immigrant Community I want to address the concerns we have for our immigrant community. In 2017, with the change of administration, the Town Board issued a statement aimed at protecting our immigrant population. Now, with the current administration, we and our neighbors are again concerned about the safety and well-being of our immigrant residents. Tonight, the Town Board met with the Police Chief and leaders from the immigrant community to discuss the situation. I want to assure everyone that the Town Board is committed to adopting a policy that will safeguard immigrants in our community to the fullest extent of the law. Since 2017, when we adopted the first policy, our Town of Mamaroneck Police have had practices in place to deal fairly with immigrants, and we intend for this to continue. Our new policy will be as protective as possible under the law. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS 1.

Next, Mr. Talt praised the Town's Highway Department for their excellent work during a recent storm and their proactive measures in placing barricades around the lake to prevent children from walking on potentially unsafe ice. The Board discussed safety concerns about allowing ice skating on the lake and how both the Highway Department and the Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department work together to determine if the ice is safe by drilling in several different areas of the ice. Mr. Talt then mentioned ongoing efforts to install receptacles for fishing lines and hooks to prevent harm to dogs, which Administrator Robson explained would be built and installed by the Town's Highway Department once the ground was no longer frozen. Lastly, Mr. Talt requested the reinstatement of the Larchmont Lake sign, which was removed during the installation of aerators years ago. Mr. Talt gave the Board a copy of a photo of the old sign. Mr. Talt emphasized the importance of having a sign to identify the lake. Mr. Talt requested a sign similar to a sign in Manor Park, that would say Larchmont Lake, no feeding of the geese, and would be all-in-one. See Attachment E.

ADJOURNMENT On motion of Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember King, the Town Board unanimously closed the meeting at 9:33 p.m. Carried NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING - February 5, 2025 Submitted by Allison May, Town Clerk Town Board January 22, 2025 Attachment A CrDemocracy Dies in Darkness Justice Department says it will prosecute local officials over immigration enforcement The directives to Justice Department employees could face fierce blowback from legal advocacy groups and officials in cities and states led by Democrats. Today at 9:13 a.m.EST 0 3 min A L1 q 3666 By Maria Sacchetti and Jeremy Roebuck The Trump administration late Tuesday directed federal prosecutors nationwide to investigate and potentially prosecute state and local officials who don't cooperate with the president's plans to carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in U.S.history,according to a document obtained by The Washington Post. tna a memo to Justice Department employees,acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove wrote that the Supremacy use of the Constitution and other legal authorities,"require state and local actors to comply with the Executive Branch's immigration enforcement initiatives." "Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting,obstructing,and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands,"wrote Bove,a former federal prosecutor who spent recent years in private practice and was one of Donald Trump's defense lawyers in his criminal cases. Bove ordered U.S.attorneys'offices nationwide to"investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential prosecution,"including for harboring an immigrant in the United States illegally,failing to share information about a person's immigration status with the federal government and conspiracy—crimes that carry potential prison terms upon conviction. Any refusals to prosecute someone for"resistance,obstruction or other noncompliance"with commands or requests from U.S.immigration officers will be sent to the Justice Department as an"urgent"report,the memo says. Bove's directive,which responds to executive orders Trump signed on his first day in office Monday,is likely to face fierce blowback from legal advocacy groups and officials in cities and states led by Democrats.Those jurisdictions tussled with Trump over the issue during his first term. Town Board January 22, 2025 Attachment A (Cont'd) Many lawyers say it is legal for state and local officials to stay out of most immigration enforcement.City officials in Chicago reaffirmed their refusal to cooperate with enforcement last week amid rumors of imminent immigration raids in that city. Some sanctuary jurisdictions work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement,the agency that detains and deports immigrants,to turn over serious criminals from their prisons.But officials in sanctuary cities say deportij undocumented immigrants who are working,raising families and otherwise following the law destabilizes their communities and makes immigrants afraid to report crimes.Police also worry that they could be breaking the law by jailing people for immigration offenses,which are civil violations,not crimes. Bove's memo refers to a newly established"Sanctuary Cities Enforcement Working Group"within the Justice Department that is charged with identifying state and local laws or policies inconsistent with the Trump administration's immigration enforcement goals.The memo instructs the department's civil division to"take legal action to challenge such laws"where appropriate. President Joe Biden had urged Congress,without success,to grant the ii million undocumented immigrants in the United States a path to citizenship.Trump,however,has issued a series of executive orders since taking office Monday that could make them all vulnerable to deportation. Trump has promised to launch"the largest domestic deportation operation in American history,"directed agencies across the federal government,including the Defense Department,to make immigration enforcement a priority,and called for the creation of joint task forces of state,local and federal agents to enforce immigration laws. Trump and his surrogates have repeatedly threatened to punish sanctuary jurisdictions such as Chicago that limit. law enforcement cooperation with ICE. Bove,the acting deputy attorney general,was one of Trump's criminal defense attorneys in his trial on charges that he falsified documents related to a hush money payment to an adult-film star during his 2016 campaign.Trump was convicted of felony charges and sentenced to an"unconditional discharge"this month.

In consultation with our billing service, the new rates were established based on the Medicare rate schedule. As you know a majority of our billing revenue is derived from Medicare, and most private insurance companies abide by the Medicare fee schedule. These rates reflect our long-standing policy of keeping balance bills for patients with Medicare coverage to a minimum. Therefore, I respectfully request the Town Board adopt the 2025 Ambulance District Fee Schedule. When adopted I will notify Pro Claim to adjust our service rates. Our current fee schedule is as follows: BLS Emergency $695 ALS I Emergency $875 ALS II Emergency $992 ALS Assessment $70 Mileage $18.00 per loaded mile 2025 Proposed Fee Schedule BLS Emergency $745 (5%) ALS I Emergency $940(5%) ALS II Emergency $1065 (5%) ALS Assessment $70(0%) Mileage $25.00 per loaded mile Thank you.
