CALL TO ORDER
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 5:00 p.m.
WORK SESSION ITEMS
1. Discussion - Housing Authority - Lease Amendment and Resolution
Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney noted that there was an error in the document, so
the item will be deferred.
2. Discussion - Affordable Housing Agreement - Housing Action Council
Town Attorney William Maker Jr. advised that there had been no changes since the
last time the Town Board reviewed this document. Attorney Maker emphasized that
once it is determined that a resident earns over the allowable income threshold, then
they would be permitted to remain at the Hommocks Apartments for one year before
being required to move out, unless their financial situation had changed again and
they have moved back below the threshold. Councilmember King asked about the
waitlist. Town Administrator Meredith Robson explained that outreach efforts are
being made to add more individuals to the waitlist, adding that data provided by
residents and applicants is always protected.
3. Discussion - "Supersession of Portions of Section 274-a (8) of the New York
Town Law in the Town of Mamaroneck" Law and the "Update of the Procedures
for Site Plan Review of Non-Residential Development"
Town Board
June 5, 2024
Attorney Maker explained that this change originated from the Planning Board's
concern about maintaining a quorum during the summer months. The Town Board
recognizes that summertime often poses challenges for scheduling meetings.
Therefore, the requirement for opening a public hearing on any non-residential site
plan application filed between June 1 and August 31 will be extended to 90 days.
First, the Town Board must supersede the current Local Law, after which they can
update the Procedures for Site Plan Review and Non-Residential Development.
4. Discussion - 2024 Capital Budget Amendments
Town Comptroller Tracy Yogman reviewed the proposed 2024 Capital Budget
Amendments with the Town Board.
5. Discussion - Review of Bid Results - TA-24-06 Parks Department and Sign Shop
Facility Reconstruction
Town Engineer Rob Wasp presented the bid results for the Parks Department and
Sign Shop Facility Reconstruction, noting that the bid came in higher than expected
due to unforeseen items and current market conditions. The existing facility, built in
the 1930s and 1950s, is outdated and does not meet code requirements. In addition,
it sustained much damage from Hurricane Isa. The proposed new building, designed
to blend with Memorial Park, would be 2,400 square feet. This would include a ground
floor garage for the Parks Department, a partial second floor to be used for the Sign
Shop, two parking bays, an oil separator, and a loft for storage.
Engineer Wasp pointed out that the project would need to be split into four separate
construction bids due to its cost exceeding $1 .5 million (as required by Wicks Law).
Engineer Wasp addressed potential cost-saving measures such as reducing the
building's footprint and deferring the installation of sprinklers. Lastly, Engineer Wasp
highlighted the impracticality of reutilizing the current structure due to its inability to
meet functional and fire code requirements.
The Town Board discussed possible options for savings and redesign, acknowledging
the need to prioritize and manage escalating costs. Materials and small equipment
are currently stored outside, highlighting the urgency for a new, code-compliant
building. Relatedly, Town Supervisor Elkind Eney raised concerns about the Town's
debt load and the capital plan, suggesting a review of the capital plan during an
upcoming summer meeting. To proceed with value engineering, as the Board
requested, the current bids must be rejected.
6. Discussion - Review of Easement Agreement Private Drain Connection - 670
Forest Avenue
The Town Administrator noted that the Town's role is to issue a permit and ensure
that the work is done properly. The easement agreement will be revised.
7. Discussion - Local Law Regarding Overnight Parking
Attorney Maker explained that this proposed local law addresses houses without
driveways, all located on one-way streets. The Traffic Committee and Police both
support this initiative.
8. Discussion - Standard Work Day and Reporting Resolution for Elected and
Appointed Officials
9. Discussion - Proposed Town Board Meeting Dates
The Town Board discussed setting up the July meeting on the 17th and the August
meeting on the 14th. Then, the Board suggested changing the October 1st meeting to
Monday September 30th
Town Board
June 5, 2024
10. Request for Executive Session
Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember King, the
Town Board agreed to enter into Executive Session to discuss the proposed
acquisition, sale, or lease of real property, potential litigation regarding the Tree
Law, the employment history of a particular person or persons, and collective
negotiations pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law.
Carried
Moved by Councilmember Nichinsky, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar,
the Town Board unanimously agreed to resume the Regular Meeting.
Carried
11. Updates
12. Additions to Regular Meeting Agenda
The Town Board deferred Affairs of the Town Item 1 - Housing Authority Amendment
and Item 6 - Easement Agreement Private Drain Connection and added a resolution
to set the summer Town Board Meeting dates on July 17th and August 14th, and to
move the Town Board Meeting of October 1st to September 30th.
13. Energy Presentation
Noam Bramson, executive director of Sustainable Westchester, alongside June
Wallach, presented an overview of upcoming changes for municipalities participating
in the Westchester Power Community Choice Aggregation program's next contract.
Acknowledging concerns from officials and residents in municipalities where the fixed
rate negotiated in 2022 has surpassed Con Edison's current rate, Mr. Bramson
addressed how this year's Sustainable Westchester offering aims to be an
improvement. He also highlighted the more favorable conditions expected in the
upcoming contract negotiations, set to begin next month and take effect in November.
Additionally, Mr. Bramson noted that many of the state's most polluting "peaker"
plants will be decommissioned in 2025, potentially influencing standard energy prices
before new sources become available.

Welcome to the June 5, 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 5:00pm, which
is open to the Public.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. There were numerous events
here in the Town in observance which various members of the Town Board attended. While
we enjoyed the weekend, it is important ALWAYS to remember those who made the ultimate
Town Board
June 5, 2024
sacrifice in service to our country. We owe them a debt of gratitude and will never forget
them.
WJWW: I am pleased to report that WJWW entered into a contract with the County of
Westchester for a land swap pursuant to which WJWW will acquire title to the parcel of land
necessary to build the required water filtration plant. The first Harrison Planning Board
meeting with respect to the filtration plant was last night. A public hearing has been
scheduled for June 25th.
Grievance Day: On June 1st the tentative assessment roll and assessment data was posted
on our Town website under property assessment (www.TownofMamaroneckNY.org).
All property owners will receive an "assessment notice" in the mail in the beginning of June.
Adjusting assessments to appropriately reflect market value shifts and physical changes to
property inventory are required by the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services
and are typical in municipalities that maintain assessments at full market value.
Please be aware that the Assessor does not determine taxes; that is the responsibility of
each taxing jurisdiction (Town, County, School, etc.). Assessments are the mechanism that
determines each taxpayer's share of the property tax levy each year. If you disagree with
your full market value estimate, you are entitled to challenge your assessment through the
Board of Assessment Review from June 1st to June 18th, 2024. Grievance applications,
instructions, and procedures are available on our website under the Assessor's Department
and can be mailed or submitted in person at the Town Center Monday through Friday
8:30AM to 4:00PM beginning June 1st and until June 18th. In addition, the Board of
Assessment Review will be in session on June 18 between the hours of 10am-12noon, 2pm-
4pm, and 6pm-8pm by appointment.

(OUT OF ORDER) STAFF COMMENTS/ PRESENTATIONS
1. Westchester Power Presentation by Sustainable Westchester
Noam Bramson, Executive Director of Sustainable Westchester, continued his
presentation on Westchester Power, reinforcing its role in expanding consumer
choice. He emphasized that residents and businesses can assess price,
predictability, and environmental impact to determine the best energy option for
their needs. However, municipalities have a broader responsibility—deciding the
level of leadership they wish to demonstrate in energy policy and sustainability.
With 29 municipalities participating, representing two-thirds of Westchester
County's population, he underscored that Westchester Power remains a strong
option for communities prioritizing clean energy and consumer protection.
Addressing the current contract's challenges, Mr. Bramson acknowledged
concerns over the higher fixed rate compared to Con Edison's fluctuating rates.
He explained that the contract was finalized in 2022 amid high energy price
forecasts following the onset of the war in Ukraine. Contrary to projections, utility
rates declined, resulting in a persistently higher cost for Westchester Power
participants. However, he pointed out that past contracts had been competitive
with the utility, sometimes offering lower rates, and stressed that the latest
contract was an outlier rather than a trend. Moreover, when compared to
renewable energy offerings from private ESCOs, Westchester Power consistently
provided lower-cost options.
Looking ahead to 2024 and 2025, Mr. Bramson shared promising indications that
the upcoming contract would be secured at a significantly lower price, making
participation more attractive. He noted that projected capacity issues in the New
York energy market could drive utility prices higher in 2025, making a fixed rate
established in 2024 particularly beneficial.
Mr. Bramson also outlined changes to the renewable energy market, explaining
that municipalities would no longer be able to select the fossil fuel-based default
or the previous Tier 2 renewable energy option. Instead, they would choose
between:
• A light green basic offering (50% renewable), or
• A dark green 100% renewable product, comprising 50% Tier 1 (wind and
solar) and 50% Tier 2 (hydropower).
The dark green option would be the most environmentally impactful choice in the
program's history. However, if Tier 1 and Tier 2 renewable energy certificate
(REC) prices differ significantly, the program may not proceed with that option to
avoid excessive costs.
For Mamaroneck, Mr. Bramson outlined three possible decisions:
1 . Exit the program entirely, defaulting residents to Con Edison's fossil-fueled
electricity supply.
Town Board
June 5, 2024
2. Re-enter the program with a light green default (50% renewable), allowing
individuals to opt up to medium green or exit the program.
3. Re-enter the program with a dark green default (100% renewable), allowing
individuals to opt down to light green or exit the program.
Additionally, he explained two ways municipalities could proceed with the dark
green option—either taking immediate action or designating an administrator to
finalize the decision later.
Mr. Bramson concluded with an urgent timeline:
• Preliminary municipal action in June.
• Tier 1 REC pricing determined in July.
• Purchase finalized in August.
New contract effective November 1, with extensive public notifications before
implementation.
In closing, Mr. Bramson reflected on the larger significance of local climate action,
stressing that small-scale individual efforts matter within a broader economic and
geographical context. Mr. Bramson cited Westchester County's influence on New
York State, the world's tenth-largest economy, and encouraged communities to
recognize their role in shaping the clean energy future.
Supervisor Elkind Eney thanked Mr. Bramson for his presentation, praising
Sustainable Westchester for its impressive breadth and impact. The Supervisor
noted that she and Councilmember Sabrina Fiddelman had attended the
organization's annual meeting virtually and were struck by the depth of its
programming. Mr. Bramson responded warmly, recognizing the Town of
Mamaroneck as an important part of Sustainable Westchester's history and
leadership.
2. Police Department Awards

PUBLIC HEARING(S)
1. Garbage District Bonding
The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows:
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck,
Westchester County, New York, will meet in the Town Center, in Mamaroneck, New
York, in said Town, on June 5, 2024, at 8 o'clock P.M., Prevailing Time, for the
purpose of conducting a public hearing upon a certain estimate of cost, in relation to
the proposed increase and improvement of the facilities of Garbage District No. 1, in
said Town, being the purchase of a garbage truck, including incidental equipment and
expenses in connection therewith, at a maximum estimated cost of $444,000. It has
been determined that said project is a Type II Action under the regulations
promulgated under the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
At said public hearing said Town Board will hear all persons interested in the subject
matter thereof.
Dated: Mamaroneck, New York,
May 19, 2024

the Public Hearing was unanimously opened.
Carried
Town Administrator Robson explained that this would be for bonding for a garbage
truck in the estimated amount of $444,000. Supervisor Elkind Eney Supervisor Elkind
Eney then invited any public comment.
Michael Gottfried addressed the Town Board first, expressing his appreciation for
Noam Bramson's remarks and recalling the community's long-standing efforts to
support Mr. Bramson's leadership. Mr. Gottfried emphasized the impact of climate
change on local initiatives and the motivation it provides for community action.
Turning to the issue of municipal bonding, Mr. Gottfried inquired about the lack of
specific details regarding the planned truck purchase. He highlighted that the decision
had not yet been made regarding whether to acquire a rear loader truck, a current
model, or a one-armed bandit. Mr. Gottfried described this uncertainty as unusual,
comparing it to requesting a loan without specifying the intended purchase. Mr.
Gottfried strongly recommended that the Board earmark funds for a one-armed
bandit, citing his extensive sanitation advocacy and ongoing efforts to promote
operational efficiencies.
Mr. Gottfried continued, highlighting the importance of investing in the one-armed
bandit truck, particularly in relation to the goal of implementing food scrap pickup
services. Mr. Gottfried shared that the Village of Larchmont council had indicated its
Town Board
June 5, 2024
willingness to proceed with similar investments once the Town commits to acquiring
the truck, reinforcing the broader community interest in improved waste management.
Concluding his remarks, Mr. Gottfried urged the Board to adopt the resolution with a
stipulation that funds be allocated specifically for the one-armed bandit. Mr. Gottfried
reiterated the strong local support for this initiative and emphasized the potential
benefits of enhanced efficiency and expanded services.
Mr. Mark Kramer, addressed the Town Board next, emphasizing the importance of
forward-thinking decision-making and the long-term impact of the Board's choices.
Referring to remarks by Noam Bramson, Mr. Kramer underscored the necessity of
planning for the future rather than relying on past practices. Mr. Kramer
acknowledged the Town Supervisor's concerns about being the first to adopt a new
approach but noted that one-armed bandit trucks are widely used across the United
States and have already proven effective in Westchester County. He urged the Town
Board to thoroughly evaluate its options and prioritize the purchase of a durable and
flexible vehicle that would best serve the municipality's needs.
Mr. Kramer highlighted the potential for expanded services, particularly regarding food
scrap and organic waste collection, suggesting that future innovations could allow for
dual-use capabilities. While he did not claim to have any expertise in state-of-the-art
waste collection technology, Mr. Kramer encouraged the Board to approach the
decision with a progressive mindset rather than defaulting to past choices. In closing,
Mr. Kramer commended the municipality's proactive stance on waste management
initiatives and urged the Board to continue that approach. He acknowledged that
forward-thinking investments may require higher initial costs but argued that they
would yield greater long-term benefits. Mr. Kramer requested that the council consider
these factors in its decision-making process.
Supervisor Elkind Eney clarified that the Town Board was not making a decision on
the specific type of truck to purchase at this meeting but instead approving funding to
ensure resources would be available for that decision in the future. Supervisor Elkind
Eney expressed appreciation for the community's input and acknowledged that the
Board was considering the matter carefully.
Administrator Robson provided further clarification, explaining that the authorization
granted at this meeting allowed financing for the vehicle, but final decisions on the
amount spent and the specific truck model would be determined later. Administrator
Robson also highlighted the complexities involved, particularly concerning sanitation
commission operations.
Councilmember Nichinsky reiterated that this meeting's purpose was solely to
approve bonding for a truck, with the type of vehicle to be decided at a later time and
requested confirmation that the funding amount approved could accommodate
various truck options. Administrator Robson confirmed that the authorization was
strictly financial, could accommodate options, and did not finalize any purchase.
Councilmember Nichinsky sought further clarification, prompting Supervisor Elkind
Eney to confirm that additional discussions would take place before any final truck
selection.
Councilmember Fiddelman then noted that earlier discussions about the truck had not
specifically addressed the one-armed bandit model but had included considerations
regarding food scrap collection, which would require additional outfitting. Administrator
Robson responded that a previously purchased vehicle included the necessary
modifications for food scrap collection but acknowledged her uncertainty about
whether the one-armed bandit model had that capability. Administrator Robson
committed to verifying this information.
Councilmember Fiddelman reiterated that she thought that the recently purchased
truck was outfitted for food scrap collection, acknowledging that further discussions
Town Board
June 5, 2024
would be necessary. Supervisor Elkind Eney then called for any additional comments
before requesting a motion to close the public hearing.

RESIDENT COMMENTS
Supervisor Elkind Eney asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Town Board,
and residents Matthew Wrzesniewsky and Mallory O'Connell addressed the Town Board to
share their concerns about safety and infrastructure issues on Bryson Street on which they
live. They explained that Bryson Street serves as a key thoroughfare connecting North
Chatsworth Avenue and Murray Avenue near Murray Avenue School. Bryson Street lacks
curbing and sidewalks despite being heavily used by many pedestrians and schoolchildren.
Mr. Wrzesniewsky, who is also a member of the Town of Mamaroneck Traffic Committee,
described ongoing issues, including vehicles parking on their lawn, blocking their driveway,
and making illegal turns onto Murray Avenue. He recounted a recent incident in which his
Town Board
June 5, 2024
wife was rear-ended in their driveway when a driver attempted a U-turn before executing an
illegal left turn.
Following a discussion at the Traffic Committee meeting on April 18, Councilmember King
encouraged Mr. Wrzesniewsky and Ms. O'Connell to bring the issue before the Town Board.
Mr. Wrzesniewsky and Ms. O'Connell also presented a petition signed by Bryson Street
residents in support of adding sidewalks and curbing to improve pedestrian safety. Mr.
Wrzesniewsky highlighted that Bryson Street is scheduled for repaving and urged the Board
to consider postponing that work until additional infrastructure improvements can be
completed simultaneously for efficiency. They cited support from the Town's Engineering
Department, which acknowledged the potential benefits of the proposed improvements but
indicated that further feasibility and budget assessments were needed. Ms. O'Connell asked
for guidance on the next steps and the expected timeline for deliberation, acknowledging that
the process would take time but hoping for a reasonable path forward.
See Attachment A.
Supervisor Elkind Eney responded that the Board would consider during their budget
meetings at the end of the year, since there were capital expenditures tied to their proposal.

Council
Moved by Councilmember Nambiar, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, it was

Action Council to qualify and certify individuals for affordable housing units for

3. Consideration to Set a Public Hearing -"Supersession of Portions of Section
274-a (8) of the New York Town Law in the Town of Mamaroneck" Law and the
"Update of the Procedures for Site Plan Review of Non-Residential
Development"
Attorney Maker explained that the Town Planning Board has proposed modifying their
site plan review procedures to better align with their actual application process. The
Planning Board has developed a protocol that better serves their needs and those of
the public and the Planning Board seeks to ensure that the Town Code reflects this
approach. A key part of the proposal involves adjusting the state-mandated 62-day
review period for site plans during the summer months. Since meetings may not be
held in both July and August due to both lighter agendas and members' travel, the
Planning Board has requested that the Town Board supersede state law to extend the
review period to 90 days under municipal home rule authority.
To enact this change, Attorney Maker explained that the first step would be to pass a
local law that overrides the state's timeline. Attorney Maker noted that the extended
summer timeline would apply only to July and August, as issues with the existing
timeframe do not arise during the rest of the year. Attorney Maker recommended
setting both public hearings in June, voting on the superseding law immediately after
the June public hearing, and then considering the site plan law revisions at the July
meeting once state filing is confirmed.
Moved by Councilmember Nichinsky, seconded by Councilmember King, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board does hereby set the date for both a Public
Hearing on "Supersession of Portions of Section 274-a (8) of the New York
Town Law in the Town of Mamaroneck" Law and the "Update of the Procedures
for Site Plan Review of Non-Residential Development" for June 26, 2024.
Carried
4. Consideration of Approval - 2024 Capital Budget Amendments
Comptroller Yogman presented two capital budget amendments related to water
infrastructure. The first amendment pertains to the Shaft 22 Chlorination System, an
ongoing project initiated three years ago. Additional invoices from Joint Waterworks
Town Board
June 5, 2024
have been received, Comptroller Yogman explained, requiring a budget adjustment to
ensure continued payments. As the project progresses, further amendments will be
necessary to cover additional expenses.
Comptroller Yogman stated that the second amendment concerns the Kenilworth
Booster Pump Station Modification, a new project with a total cost of $160,000, of
which the Town is responsible for 17.7% ($28,320). Funding for this project will come
from the water operating budget's contingency fund, which is allocated for unexpected
cost increases.
Moved by Councilmember Nambiar, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby authorizes the Comptroller to make the
necessary budget amendments, as presented.
Carried
5. Review of Bid Results - TA-24-06 Parks Department and Sign Shop Facility
Reconstruction
Administrator Robson informed the Town Board that bids had been received for the
reconstruction of the parks department and sign shop facility, aimed at bringing the
building up to code and improving operational efficiency and sustainability. However,
the lowest bid came in at $2,687,000, significantly exceeding the $1.7 million
estimate. Robson explained that because the bids surpassed the expected cost, the
Wicks Law would apply, requiring four separate prime contracts and increasing
complexity and expenses. Due to these challenges, Administrator Robson
recommended that the Board reject all bids, allowing time for value engineering to
refine the project and reduce costs.
The Board acknowledged that the matter had been discussed extensively during the
work session with the Town Engineer and agreed with the recommendation. Further
discussions on the overall project were anticipated, but for this meeting, the focus was
on rejecting the bids due to their unexpectedly high cost.
Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby rejects all five bid proposals submitted
on April 11, 2024, and hereby authorizes the engineering department to rebid
contract TA 2406 to incorporate measures for cost savings and to address
requirements of Wick's Law.

Town Supervisor and Members of the Town of Mamaroneck Town Board:
As a follow- up to the April 18, 2024, Town of Mamaroneck Traffic
Committee, the residents of Bryson Street urge the Town of Mamaroneck
Town Board to make critical upgrades to Bryson Street to increase
pedestrian safety and improve Bryson Street.
We, the residents of Bryson Street, petition the Town of Mamaroneck Town
Board to follow through on our following recommendations.
• Add sidewalks to Byson Street. The street is a key connection point
for residents on North Chatsworth Avenue traveling to Murray Avenue
School, pedestrian safety would improve by taking pedestrians off the
road which is currently narrowed by cars parking on the street.
• Add curbing to Bryson Street. Creating a boundary between the road
and resident's lawns will protect property, increase pedestrian safety,
and improve drainage during storms.
