King, Councilmember Robin Nichinsky, Councilmember Anant Nambiar, Councilmember ABSENT: ALSO PRESENT: Allison May, Town Clerk Meredith S. Robson, Town Administrator William Maker Jr., Town Attorney Tracy Yogman, Town Comptroller Marc Romero, Assistant to the Town Administrator Christine Canavan, Assistant to the Town Administrator 5:00 PM THE TOWN BOARD WORK SESSION The Work Session of the Town Board was called to order by Town Supervisor Elkind Eney. Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar, the Work Session unanimously opened at 5:05 p.m. WORK SESSION ITEMS Prior to the meeting, resident David Shlosh introduced himself to the Town Board. He was in attendance to raise his concern to the Town Board about addressing the ban on gas- powered leaf blowers. The Town Supervisor explained that the Town is actively publicizing the ban on gas-powered leaf blowers, including mailing letters to 86 landscapers. Next steps include plans to send additional letters and install English and Spanish signage on major thoroughfares by month's end. The Town will complement this with a banner announcement on the Town website, as well as online updates. Reporting and police enforcement were discussed briefly. 1. Discussion - Implementation Plan Next, the Board started their discussion of the Implementation Plan, driven by the Town's Comprehensive Plan. Town Administrator Meredith Robson reminded the Board that subsequent to the approval of a Comprehensive Plan is the creation of an Implementation Plan. The Town Board had agreed to hire Pracademic Partners to assist the Town Administrator in the development of this plan. Tonight, the consultants and Administrator Robson aimed to share a sample of where they were heading to ensure everyone was on the same page. Then, the consultants and Administrator Robson will continue to update the Town Board on their work on the development of the Implementation Plan. Town Board March 5, 2025 Consultants Ian Coyle, head of Pracademic Partners, and Angela Ellis joined via Zoom and introduced the Implementation Plan framework, which would detail themes from the Comprehensive Plan such as Healthy Community, Quality Neighborhoods, Safe Connections, Resilient Environment, and Sound Economy. Each theme will include goals, policies, and action items prioritized by urgency and resources, with funding sources categorized into Operational Funds, Capital Improvement Plan, and Grants. Pracademic Partners explained that ultimately, the plan will encompass all goals and policies. This sample was intended to ensure alignment with the Town Board's vision and was illustrative rather than complete. Councilmember King expressed his approval to Administrator Robson and Pracademic Partners that the plan is heading in the right direction, noting that it would require work, but would result in a working document that is easily explainable and digestible by the community. The Town Board all agreed but highlighted the need to clarify action item prioritization and include both upfront and ongoing costs in the plan. Next steps suggested by the Town Board also included aligning the framework with the budget, adding specificity to prioritize actions (which both Town Board and staff would do), creating a legend for priorities, and adding a summary template to help ensure community understanding. When the Board suggested including financial feasibility and ongoing project costs next to each activity, Administrator Robson acknowledged the importance of connecting the implementation plan with future budget items. Administrator Robson explained that Munis will be utilized for that integration. See Attachment A. 2. Discussion - Harrison Drive Speed Analysis Administrator Robson mentioned that the Village of Larchmont had recently reduced the Village speed limit on Harrison Drive to twenty-five miles per hour. The Traffic Committee recently had a resident attend a meeting and ask that the Town consider a similar change for the Town's section of Harrison Drive. Councilmember Fiddelman shared that the only speed limit sign on Harrison Drive currently indicates thirty miles per hour on the Town's portion of the road, and there is no signage reflecting the new Village speed limit. This highlighted the need for effective communication of any future speed limit changes, with suggestions for additional signage and potential stop signs at hazardous curves. Councilmember Nambiar emphasized the importance of agreeing on the new speed limit by garnering community input as well, and ensuring it is clearly communicated. The Board discussed the challenges of enforcing the new limit, as well as the potential benefit of consistency across the two Villages and the Town. The Board agreed that Town Attorney William Maker Jr. should proceed with drafting a local law to reduce the speed limit on the entire length of Harrison Drive, and also that they would like to explore the possibility of implementing a twenty-five-mile-per-hour speed limit for the entire Town and that first they wanted to seek feedback from the Traffic Committee on the idea. The Board also mentioned wanting to discuss the idea, as well as enforcement strategies with the Police Department. 3. Discussion - Review of Bid Results - TA-25-04 Landscape Maintenance Services for Town Senior Center, Hommocks Fields and Pool Complex - 2025-2026 Administrator Robson explained that recently the Town completed bid procurement for the 2025-2026 Landscape Maintenance Services contract for the Town Senior Center and Hommocks Park properties. Only two bid proposals were received, and the lowest bid was disqualified due to a missing bond deposit. Because the cost of these services are not over the bid threshold anyway and given potential changes in the maintenance needs at Hommocks Field, the Administrator recommended rejecting the bids and soliciting more informal month-to-month service proposals instead. Town Board March 5, 2025 4. Proposed "Prohibition Against Parking Gas-Powered Motor Vehicles at Parking Spaces Designated Exclusively for Parking Electric Vehicles" Law Town Attorney Maker introduced the revisions he had made to the proposed "Prohibition Against Parking Gas-Powered Motor Vehicles at Parking Spaces Designated Exclusively for Parking Electric Vehicles" law. If the Town Board considers the proposed law ready for public discussion, he explained, a public hearing may be scheduled. Supervisor Elkind Eney suggested that the law should exclusively target gas- and diesel-powered vehicles, as plug-in hybrids should be able to use these EV chargers and proposed a higher fine akin to the fines charged for vehicles illegally parked at handicapped parking spaces. The discussion emphasized that electric vehicles should be plugged in when parked in these designated spaces. The Board agreed to set the public hearing for the law in its current form and then revisit it later if enhancements are warranted. 5. OUT OF ORDER: Discussion - 2024 Capital Budget Report Comptroller Yogman provided the Board with the new, quarterly capital projects report, which included a listing of all the major open capital projects, their current status, and project milestone dates. For each project, the original project budget, expenditures and encumbrances to date, and the unexpended balance were listed, along with a brief status update for each project. Comptroller Yogman explained that the Board would see a budget amendment if there was a change in costs. Councilmember Fiddelman asked about the Town Center flooring and then also the locker room savings, and whether or not those savings might be used for painting in the Town Center. Comptroller Yogman explained that it depends how much is left in savings, as well as whether or not the project was originally bonded. It a project was bonded, then the funds could only be used for that specific purpose then it is for just that purpose and could not be repurposed. 6. Updates Councilmember Nichinsky mentioned that the Town Code is incorrect for the Leaf Blower law. Town Clerk May explained that the new laws are located in the New Law section of the code, as well as in notes, until they are updated into the Code. The code is updated annually, so the Leaf Blower Law and Tree Law will soon be fully incorporated in the Town Code. Councilmember Nichinsky asked the Board if anyone was able to attend the next meeting of the Planning Board, as she would not be able to attend. Councilmember King attended a Coastal Zone meeting and noted that three members from the Village of Larchmont are still not participating in meetings. Councilmember King has since spoken with Village Trustee Peter Fanelli, suggesting that those members should perhaps resign, because they have now missed multiple meetings. Councilmember King mentioned that the Recreation Commission wanted to reappropriate the money allocated for the playground shade consultant to purchase tables with umbrellas. Their goal is to have an immediate impact on available shade this summer. Administrator Robson explained that the Recreation Commission cannot use that money because the Town has already signed the contract with the shade consultant. Administrator Robson added that she did not think that the consultant would take tons of time, but if the Town needs to purchase a large structure, or maybe large trees, for instance, then those items may take a while to install. Supervisor Elkind Eney informed the group that the Village of Larchmont is applying for a grant from the NYS DEC to remove invasive species at Flint Park along Long Island Sound. When the Village walked the property with the DEC, the DEC suggested they apply along with the Town of Mamaroneck. The DEC likes bigger projects and in the long term there will be a better outcome if all the invasives are removed along the shoreline. In addition, we will all realize a reduction in flooding because the replanted natives will filter more water and provide more environmental Town Board March 5, 2025 benefits. The Village wants to know if the Town will join in the grant application. The Board discussed, mentioning the need to review the grant and to determine who will actually be removing the invasives and replanting the natives. In principle, the Board agreed. Councilmember Nichinsky will share with Sustainability Collaborative. Supervisor Elkind Eney reported that Noam Bramson, Executive Director of Sustainable Westchester, had called regarding Community Choice Aggregation mentioning that Sustainable Westchester would like participating municipalities to sign up earlier this year allowing a longer period of time to solicit lower power prices. In principle, the Board is interested in moving forward with the initiative. The Board discussed that the significant variation in pricing last year compared to the previous year prompted a more extensive contract review and the introduction of three pricing levels. The contracts are for a duration of one year. The Board agreed to move forward with Community Choice Aggregation. Supervisor Elkind Eney mentioned she had another call from Paul Noto. He mentioned that he does not want to go through the expense of an application if the Board will not consider a zoning change. The Board discussed various questions and concerns about his proposal, including the entrance and number of units in such a small space. The Board supports the need for more housing, but did not want to consider a zoning change. Administrator Robson mentioned that Rye Brook and Port Chester are looking for twenty municipalities to join in their fight against ConEd rate increases. This is the municipal arm of the fight. The cost of hiring an attorney would be capped at $100,000, so each municipality (if twenty join the case) would pay $5,000. Administrator Robson suggested a resolution at the next meeting on March 19th. Supervisor Elkind Eney presented a brief update on the CRC and Administrator Robson agreed to reach out to Chief Creazzo about a Spanish speaking officer presenting to the CRC's constituents. 7. OUT OF ORDER - Discussion - 2025 Capital Budget Amendments Comptroller Yogman explained that these 2025 capital budget amendments are all good news. The Town Center flat roof epoxy, HVAC system replacement, restrooms, elevator modernization, the Esri GIS Software upgrade, and the Larchmont Gardens archway stone masonry projects were all completed, and these amendments are necessary to transfer the remaining funds to their respective accounts. Funds for the Sheldrake Trail Bridge project were not needed, so transfer of the remaining money to the General Fund was recommended. The Town Center flat roof rehabilitation was completed with significant savings, and Comptroller Yogman recommended transferring those remaining funds to the Debt Service Fund. Finally, completed drainage projects at Nancy Lane and Murdoch Woods required a budget transfer of remaining balances to other drainage projects in the Town. In total, Comptroller Yogman updated the Board, $67,700 of additional funds will be made available for drainage projects. Councilmember King asked if any remaining funds could be transferred to the Senior Center Project. Comptroller Yogman explained no -- some must go back to debt service and the others must return to the funds from which they were originally allocated. 8. Discussion - Zencity Administrator Robson and Assistant to the Town Administrator Marc Romero explained that the Town has recently purchased new software to improve community outreach. The software consists of two subcategories. The first, the Organic Platform, consolidates real-time data mentioning the community, from media including, Facebook, online sources and other news vehicles. The consolidation now includes Village of Mamaroneck and Village of Larchmont data, but eventually that will be Town Board March 5, 2025 segmented and then the Organic side of Zencity will provide a general overview and aggregate any Town news or trending topics for the Town Board and staff. Councilmember Nambiar asked Assistant Romero if he can summarize the Zencity analysis on a monthly or quarterly basis, by using the Zencity metadata to answer questions and develop recommended actions. Assistant Romero confirmed that he will eventually be reporting from Zencity either weekly or monthly, with Zencity training currently underway. The second subcategory, the Engage Platform, is public facing. The Town intends to use for the upcoming Pool Survey. Assistant Romero will send the Board a link to survey as it currently stands. Questions have been compiled using artificial intelligence, along with recommendations from Recreation Superintendent Jill Fisher and Administrator Robson. Councilmember King inquired about the possibility of holding quarterly Town Hall meetings, perhaps at the Senior Center, which would be informal gatherings addressing topics such as the Pool Survey and flooding. These meetings would provide an opportunity for residents to voice their concerns and for the Town to disseminate information. Councilmember Fiddelman asked if this new platform could be used to garner input from residents on the development of a new Town seal. 9. OUT OF ORDER: Request for Executive Session Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar, the Town Board agreed to enter into Executive Session to discuss the employment history of particular individuals. Carried Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, the Town Board unanimously agreed to resume the Regular Meeting. Carried 10. Changes to Regular Meeting Agenda • Add in 'Appointment of Michael Henry Probationary Firefighter in the Fire Department' to Fire Commission. • Add in 'Consideration of - Agreement with BV Strategies LLC' 8:00 PM TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING The Town Board meeting convened in the Courtroom Located on the second 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 8:15 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 Welcome to the March 5, 2025, 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 5:00pm, which is open to the Public. I will be brief tonight. On February 25, the Town Board met with some members of the school board to discuss the use of the Hommocks fields. It was a productive meeting. We Town Board March 5, 2025 are one community, and it is always helpful when we are able to meet with the various stakeholders. We agreed to meet again on April 1 . Stay tuned... Last night I attended a Sustainability Collaborative meeting. I will let Robin report on the meeting itself. I do want to remind everyone that gas-powered leaf blowers are now banned in the unincorporated area of the Town of Mamaroneck. Landscapers and property owners are both liable if gas-powered leaf blowers are used. For the first offense during a calendar year, the fine is not less than $125 and not more than $250. For a second offense during the same calendar year, the fine is not less than $250 and not more than $500. For additional offenses during the same calendar year, the fine of $500 for each such offense. I also want to remind everyone about an important issue in our community...traffic safety. Please everyone, "Drive Like You Live Here"! This is our community-- follow the rules of the road. This means slowing down and respecting speed limits, as speeding not only increases the risk of accidents, but also endangers the lives of our neighbors, family members and others who live and work here. Obeying traffic signals, using turn signals, and yielding to pedestrians are essential steps in keeping our streets safe for everyone. In addition to driving safely, we also need to remember the importance of parking safely, avoiding spaces that block driveways, are too close to a fire hydrant, or create hazards for others. By driving and parking responsibly and respectfully, we help create a safer, more harmonious environment for all of us whether we are walking, biking or driving! Coming up: The Sound Shore St. Patrick's Day parade will kick off Saturday, March 29 at 1:30. The parade starts at Mamaroneck Avenue School and proceeds down Mamaroneck Avenue to the Harbor. I hope to see everyone there! RESIDENT COMMENTS Supervisor Elkind Eney asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Town Board and there was no one. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS 1.
