King, Councilmember ALSO PRESENT: Allison May, Town Clerk Meredith S. Robson, Town Administrator Tracy Yogman, Town Comptroller Robert P. Wasp, Town Engineer (by phone) Marc Romero, Assistant to the Town Administrator 7:00 PM SPECIAL MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD Moved by Councilmember Nambiar, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, the meeting unanimously opened at 7:20pm. Carried WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. Discussion - 2025 Preliminary Town Budget and Town of Mamaroneck Fire District #1 Budget Administrator Robson handed out copies of the Larchmont Mamaroneck Joint Garage Disposal Commission 2025 Draft Budget. See Attachment A. Administrator Robson explained that the 2025 Draft Budget for the Larchmont Mamaroneck Joint Garage Disposal Commission remains under review and has not yet been finalized by the Village of Larchmont Sanitation Commissioner. The Town Administrator outlined major changes, focusing on significant items rather than minor operational details such as uniform expenses. Revenues were detailed. The $1,000,000 cost of removal of the incinerator will be split fifty-fifty between the two municipalities (including $500,000 contributions from each toward incinerator-related expenses). The budget of $1,000,000 for incinerator demolition, provides for the removal of the top of the building, which is in danger of collapsing. A protective roof membrane will be installed to safeguard the remaining structure. The plan is to address the bottom half within the next three to five years, contingent on removing or relocating the cell tower currently positioned on the chimney. Discussions on splitting revenue contributions to reflect potential commercial activity adjustments were also covered. Administrator Robson noted that while the budget itself has not been fully agreed upon, the overall concept has been accepted. Early Town Board December 10, 2024 next year, conversations can begin on whether to completely separate collection services, leaving only yard services under the Sanitation Commission's oversight. This shift presents several challenges, particularly in terms of labor-related issues. Councilmember Nichinsky inquired about the financial impact of these changes, highlighting that removing commercial services would increase costs for the Town by $200,000 while lowering costs for the Village by the same amount. Given this imbalance, the Town Board seemed somewhat reluctant to proceed unless collection services remain under the Commission. Councilmember Fiddelman acknowledged that while separation could lead to increased costs, it offers greater flexibility in managing services. Administrative overhead costs would be charged back to the Village of Larchmont for any services used by their residents. The need for an Intermunicipal Agreement (IMA) to govern the shared yard facility was discussed, with a proposed fifty-fifty split being suggested to provide long-term stability and avoid frequent renegotiations. Administrator Robson then explained the methodology used to estimate commercial collection costs, noting that separate pickup schedules were implemented throughout the year to better track expenses. Beginning in 2025, the Village of Larchmont and Town of Mamaroneck collections will no longer overlap, even where route efficiency could be improved. The budget includes specific allocations for each municipality, with further discussions planned to address capital expenditures and bonding strategies. Addressing these issues, noted the Town Administrator, is crucial to ensure a fair and balanced budget, with further discussions planned to finalize the details. Turning to the Town Budget, Comptroller Yogman then reviewed the 2025 Budget Expense Breakdown, explaining that expenses are categorized into three groups: required for operations, capital and non-operational expenses, and discussion items. The majority of expenditures fall under required operations, including personnel services and employee benefits, which account for 58% of total spending. These expenses have increased 11% over the past two years, placing financial strain on the budget and limiting flexibility for other spending. Councilmember Nambiar highlighted that the most pressing concern is the rapid growth of expenses compared to revenue, reinforcing the need for careful financial management moving forward. See Attachment B. Comptroller Yogman continued, providing further insights into the budget and detailing $200,000 in equipment expenses, including the lease of medical equipment and other essential items required to maintain the Town services. The Town Comptroller outlined contractual expenses, covering utilities, garbage commission fees, attorney/legal services, and other necessary operational costs. Additionally, operational transfers were addressed, involving reallocations between departments such as IT and engineering. Comptroller Yogman clarified that capital expenses, primarily related to water and sewage districts, are fee-based rather than tax levy- based, and noted that debt service remains a non-optional obligation. Councilmember Fiddelman pointed out that approximately 75% of the budget is legally mandated and cannot be adjusted, underscoring the importance of understanding these financial constraints before finalizing the budget. Discussions continued regarding the Town of Mamaroneck and Village of Larchmont contributions, particularly capital allocations and bonding, as the Town Board worked toward ensuring a fair and balanced budget. Comptroller Yogman explained that if the Town adhered to the tax cap, total expenditures could rise only to $54.2 million, whereas current required expenses have already reached $54.6 million, highlighting ongoing budgetary challenges. Additional capital and non-operational expenses total $1 .1 million, while discussion items add another $500,000. The fund balance is limited to $2.4 million, ensuring enough cash Town Board December 10, 2024 on hand to cover four months of expenses (at the beginning of the year). Revenues have been maximized, leaving little room for additional growth. To address financial concerns, expense savings were outlined in the next spreadsheet, with an accompanying list of potential cost-saving options for consideration. Comptroller Yogman stressed that if the budget is not adopted by December 18, the preliminary budget will automatically take effect by default. The Town Board noted that without adjustments or agreement, the Town could be forced into a high-expenditure budget. Councilmember Fiddelman and others voiced concerns about the rigidity of the law, comparing it to school district budgeting, where failure to reach an agreement results in an austerity budget requiring significant spending cuts. By contrast, New York State law mandates the adoption of the budget as proposed, even if adjustments are needed. The Town Board discussion that ensued emphasized the importance of balancing discretionary expenses, ensuring fiscal responsibility while maintaining necessary services. To further evaluate financial scenarios, the Town Administrator introduced the 2025 Budget Tax Scenarios sheet, requesting Comptroller Yogman to review the details with the Board. See Attachment C. Comptroller Yogman provided an overview of the tax scenarios, starting with the 2024 adopted budget (Column A) and the 2025 tentative budget (Column B) for comparison. The preliminary budget (Column C), highlighted in green, will take effect if not voted on. Column D includes NYSHIP savings and additional expenses, excluding the fields. The different scenarios considered include Column E, with $500,000 in savings split between the A and B funds, Column F with $1 million in savings, Column G with $1.4 million in savings, and Column H adjusted to meet the tax cap. The Town Comptroller then highlighted that the tax levy increases range from 9.95% in the preliminary budget to 3.03% for the tax cap. The tax increase in the Town for the average $1.6 million home ranges from $778 (9.22%) to $317 (3.76%), based on various savings, with similar impacts noted for Village taxes. The discussion emphasized the importance of understanding these scenarios to make informed budget decisions, with further details provided on cost estimates and the impact of various budget items on the tax levy. Next, Comptroller Yogman presented a list of capital projects for discussion. See Attachment D. Hommocks Field Repairs - The Administrator and Comptroller mentioned that earlier in the day they had reviewed a new estimate for enhanced maintenance of the fields on an annual basis. Cost would be $30,000 annually, which could buy the Town a couple of years so that the Town would not need to spend the $800,000 now on the field. There was one caveat that they noted: this unfortunately includes weed killer. The Town will check it out with the DEC. Councilmember Nichinsky thanked them for going back to the drawing board and coming up with this solution. Reservoir Valve — Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney emphasized the importance of a cost-benefit analysis when making these budget decisions, comparing the potential consequences of not buying a truck versus the devastating impact of a valve failure leading to flooding. Administrator Robson highlighted that the valve is primarily a flooding concern, stressing the urgency of addressing it. Councilmember Nambiar pushed back, questioning the immediate need for replacement. However, Administrator Robson countered that the valve's failure could pose significant safety risks, especially during storms, as it has been in place since the 1970s. The discussion underscored the critical nature of certain budget items and the need for careful consideration of their potential impacts. Categorized as required. Town Board December 10, 2024 Senior Center Generator - The importance of this item lies in the 50% grant match that has been applied for, making it a cost-effective investment. Also, this is about continuing services to Seniors and offering the center up to the community as an alternative emergency center. Services now stop if the power goes out, because we have no generator, because the food has to be maintained at a particular temperature and standards must be met. During Hurricane Ida there was a loss of services. The Town had to cancel services and seniors and Meals on Wheels participants did not receive food. There is a chance that the Town may not get the grant. The Board agreed not to categorize this project as required and noted that if the grant comes through then the Town will fund its portion through fund balance. Town Engineer Robert Wasp joined the meeting at 8:43pm via phone. Pedestrian Crossing Signals at Leatherstocking Trail/Weaver Street - Engineer Wasp confirmed that the proposed pedestrian crossing signals at the Leatherstocking Trail at Weaver Street would be push-button activated. This project is more costly than another similar project in the Town, Engineer Wasp explained, because it is located on a New York State right-of-way, necessitating State supervision. The Town Administrator inquired about the project timing and potential cost-saving synergies with the ongoing work on Weaver Street. Engineer Wasp explained that ConEd will be working on Weaver Street in March, coinciding with the Town's Weaver Street sidewalk project. The plan is to work on one side of the road, with the goal of completing everything by summer. The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sidewalk project will be issued in February, with work expected to start in April, allowing for the installation of sidewalk and crossing before school begins. Engineer Wasp agreed that there might be benefits to having the same consultant oversee both the sidewalk and crosswalk projects, potentially saving $12,000 to $15,000. The cost of the pedestrian crossing signals was reduced from $103,000 to $90,000; the bulk of the cost attributed to electrical work. The sidewalk project will likely take eight to twelve weeks (or three months), with the crosswalk installation timed to occur in parallel, which is expected to take about two weeks. Supervisor Elkind Eney emphasized that the pedestrian crossing at this location is a significant safety issue, noting the high risk for accidents. Next the Board discussed whether any less expensive safety measures could be implemented. However, the Town Board concluded that a simple crosswalk would be insufficient and might create a false sense of security. There was also a question about whether the project could be deferred until the sidewalk work is completed but given the safety concerns and previous commitments to residents, the timing and completion of the crossing signals were prioritized for 2025, ensuring the promised improvements are delivered. Next the Board discussed the Police Department items: Radio Motor Patrol Cars - There were three new patrol cars in to start. One is now coming out of the 2024 budget, so two remain. The Town Board discussed the vehicles several times throughout the evening, ending up funding no vehicles in 2025. Rifle Rated Response Shields - The Police Chief had agreed that they could get by with half the requested number of shields this year and half next year. These shields would be used in an active-shooter event. After discussing, the Town Board determined the Town should fund half of the rifle rated response shields only. Portable Radio Upgrades - These are necessary for the Town's Police Department to communicate with Police Departments from other municipalities during a shared response. The Police Chief said he could do half this year and half the next. The Town Board decided to fund half of the portable radio upgrades. The next three items were IT-related. The Supervisor and Board all felt that Server Replacement and the other computer items were necessary to ensure that the Town does not 'go down'. These items were all categorized as required. Town Board December 10, 2024 Shade Sails in Memorial Park - The Town Administrator informed the Board that the RFP had gone out for a full landscaping designer's review of the project. The Board decided to keep the $30,000 in the 2025 budget for the landscape designer, with the intent to see if something could be done using trees alone. Colonial Avenue - Comptroller Yogman pointed out that the budget for this includes the Town's $1.2 million, which is our match for the grant. The Board agreed to maintain this in the 2025 budget, noting it was a must do for the Town grant, plus a safety issue. Mini Excavator - The Town Administrator mentioned that she had checked again with John Barretto, Highway Department, who had provided a lengthy list of what the Town would do with a mini excavator. A discussion ensued about the pros and cons of the mini excavator and its many potential uses, including flood mitigation work in conservation areas. The Administrator pointed out that the Highway Department would prefer budgeting the mini excavator over the dump truck. After further debate, the Town Board agree to keep the mini excavator in the 2025 budget and remove the dump truck. Dump Truck - the Town Administrator noted that it does do snow removal and leaf pick up. See above, the Town Board removed this item from the 2025 budget. Fire Alarm System/Highway Garage - The Board agreed this was a must do; required for the safety of Town employees. Garbage Truck - The Board agreed to include $50,000 to complete the purchase of this garbage truck for Sanitation. Baldwin and the next three items listed are in Sewer and Water Districts so the monies are fee based, any changes to these would not affect the tax levy and rate. Comptroller Yogman updated her spreadsheet according to what the Town Board had discussed. This was printed and passed out as the (Revised) Schedule of 2025 Budget Tax Scenarios: See Attachment E.
