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 King, the Work Session unanimously opened at 5:02 p.m. WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. Discussion - Sanborn Map Company Agreement Administrator Robson presented a proposed agreement with The Sanborn Map Company to convert the Town's property mapping system from CAD to GIS format and create updated tax maps using ArcGIS software. The cost will not exceed $40,000 and represents a one-time modernization expense. Administrator Robson emphasized that this initiative represents a significant step toward modernizing the Town's mapping systems, ensuring improved functionality and long-term benefits. Councilmember Nichinsky joined the meeting at 5:05p.m. 2. Discussion - "Waiver of Fees for Renewing Variances or Site Plan Approvals or Wetland Permits" Law Town Attorney Maker introduced a proposed local law to allow one-time, no-fee renewals of variances, site plans, and wetland permits, recognizing delays beyond applicant control. The Board discussed FEMA-related delays and the current fee structure. Councilmember Fiddelman recommended revisiting permit fees in the future and proposed a text amendment updating "Department of Buildings" to "Building Department." 3. Discussion - "Extension of No Parking Zone along Burton Road" Law Town Administrator Meredith Robson explained that this proposed law to extend the No Parking Zone along Burton Road is a straightforward adjustment, as illustrated in Town Board May 7, 2025 the photo included in the Town Board packet. This change was originally recommended by the Traffic Committee, and the Town staff fully supports the request. Using the photo of the area, Administrator Robson demonstrated why relocating the sign is necessary. Councilmember Fiddelman shared that she personally visited the location to assess the situation and confirmed the need for the change, emphasizing that it would enhance safety for both pedestrians and drivers. 4. Discussion - Budget Committee Administrator Robson summarized the outcomes from the Budget Committee's first meeting. Then the Budget Committee members were asked by Supervisor Elkind Eney to outline their priorities to date, which included fund balance and bond ratings, fee revenues, capital project reviews, outsourcing, and improved budget communication. Discussion then focused heavily on the Town's recreational assets. Ian Rhodes suggested viewing the Ice Rink as a standalone business entity. The Board and Budget Committee members then discussed long-term planning and transparency. Rodman Reef addressed the inequity in taxation for co-ops and condos due to New York State Home Rule laws. Comptroller Yogman noted personnel vacancy savings in the operating budget. 5. OUT OF ORDER: Discussion - 2025 Capital Budget Amendments Next, Comptroller Yogman presented the 2025 Capital Budget Amendments, highlighting that most adjustments involve reallocating funds from completed projects that came in under budget. The Town plans to redirect funds originally set aside for the Madison Avenue traffic signal to debt service, following project delays and new funding for a roundabout at the same location. Similarly, excess funds from the Highway Garage drainage project will be returned to debt service, while cost savings from the Recreation Department's vehicle replacement and Ice Rink HVAC improvements will be transferred to the General Fund. Additional funding is needed for the final tax module of the financial system, requiring a budget amendment to move contingency funds to the Capital Fund. The multi-year sanitary sewer project, which benefited from $500,000 in additional grant funding, finished under budget, allowing unused bonded funds to be returned to debt service. A small balance originally set aside for flow monitoring is also being transferred, as it is no longer necessary. The Comptroller noted that these adjustments all reflected a strategic reallocation of resources to optimize financial efficiency. 6. OUT OF ORDER: Discussion - Q1 2025 Capital Budget Report The Town Comptroller explained that the Town conducts a quarterly review of capital project status, which is then presented to the Town Board via this report. It currently details the status of forty-four active projects totaling $88 million, with $48.5 million (or 54%) already expended or committed. Each project listing includes the original budget, expenditures, encumbrances, and remaining balance, along with a brief status update and key milestone dates. 7. OUT OF ORDER: Discussion - Q1 2025 Operating Budget Report Comptroller Yogman introduced the Q1 2025 Operating Budget Report, outlining the Town's financial performance for the first three months of the year. The economy remains volatile, with interest rates fluctuating and inflation impacting costs, making budgeting more complex. Revenues are slightly lower than in 2024, but sales tax is expected to meet budget, while mortgage tax is currently below projections. Overall, the Town plans to utilize $800,000 in fund balance, with $2 million allocated for capital projects and $1.2 million supporting net operational revenue. Conservative budget practices continue to yield cost savings, and the Town's fund balances remain in compliance with financial policies. Comptroller Yogman also highlighted the Town's tax collection trends, noting a slight decline compared to the prior year, with delinquent taxes totaling $2.1 million. Mortgage tax revenue is 12% lower than in 2024, and sales tax revenue is down by 2%, though it is expected to align with the $3.4 million budget. Interest earnings Town Board May 7, 2025 remain strong at 4%, but projections indicate a decline later in the year. Building permit revenue is exceeding expectations, and expense savings total $756,000, largely due to vacancies. The fund balance remains stable at 37.6% of revenues, slightly below Moody's recommended 40% for bond ratings. 8. ADDITIONAL ITEM: Return to Budget Committee Discussion (See Item #4.) The Town Board and Budget Committee returned to their discussion on the Ice Rink and Pool. The group discussed potential outsourcing and the ten-year financial planning process. The group emphasized comparing the Town of Mamaroneck with peer communities and also the need to sustain public engagement throughout the budget process. Councilmember Nichinsky requested Town staff provide comparative studies of fiscal practices in other municipalities, for the Board's and the Budget Committee's review. In conclusion, Administrator Robson thanked the Budget Committee for their participation and said that she would summarize the discussion and the Budget Committee's objectives for their next meeting. 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 proposed acquisition, sale, or lease of real property, current litigation with Village of Larchmont, 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 King, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar, the Town Board unanimously agreed to resume the Regular Meeting. Carried 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 8:06 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 Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney delivered the following report: First, I want to highlight that April was another month filled with important events, initiatives, and recognitions across our community. Second, on April 23rd, I was pleased to attend the Zoning Board meeting. It was another reminder of the dedicated work of our volunteer land use boards, who handle complex applications with diligence and fairness. Thank you to the Zoning Board for their service. Third, I attended County Executive Ken Jenkins' first State of the County address. The County Executive outlined the accomplishments of the county as well as his vision for the future. He declared that Westchester County is grounded in hope, progress, and the belief that Westchester remains a beacon of stability and strength in an often uncertain world. We have a lot to be proud of, for sure. Town Board May 7, 2025 From April 24th to 28th, I attended the Icebreaker Tournament at the Hommocks Park Ice Rink. This is really a tremendous event. Sixteen teams, totaling approximately 220 players, played 28 games over four days. There were a total of 215 goals scored — which doesn't make the goalies very happy, but that's what it was. They ate 24 six-foot wedges, 45 pizzas, 760 hot dogs, and too many wings to count. I looked around over the four days and saw generations of families who come back to our community and our rink for this tournament. Players brought their parents, grandparents, siblings, spouses, children, and friends. Spectators ranged in age from newborns to 90 years old. They enjoyed four days of food, love, and hockey. One man made it all happen: Dan Demasi. I want to thank him for the countless hours he spent throughout the year and over each Icebreaker weekend creating this beloved annual event. All proceeds go to the Hommocks Park Ice Rink Trust Fund to pay for improvements to our rink. On April 24th, I also attended the Sustainable Westchester Annual Meeting with Sabrina — and Alli. It was an inspiring meeting. Despite all the attacks on our nonprofits and climate change denial, local progress is impressive, and that's because of a strategy of partnership and collaboration. We get a lot done together. April 25 was another busy day that I spent with Sabrina. We're kind of going steady here! That day marked the 33rd year the Town of Mamaroneck was recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA. We held our Arbor Day observance, which included a tree planting at Memorial Park on the playground. Councilmembers Nichinsky and Fiddelman joined me and the Town staff to plant a red maple tree, which looks lovely. I want to thank Town Conservation Planner Elizabeth Aitcheson, Highway Department Foreman John Barreto, and Arborist James Guinee for their work on Arbor Day and every day keeping the Town beautiful and green. Then I attended, with Sabrina, the League of Women Voters' Annual Luncheon. Congressman George Latimer was the featured speaker. It was interesting to hear his insights on what's going on in Washington. I want to thank Congressman Latimer for always seeming to be around when we need him. On April 26th, I attended the Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department Open House. This was an opportunity for residents to speak with our firefighters and learn what it's like to serve. The event included demonstrations, important safety tips, and an opportunity to explore the firehouse. The dedication of both the department and the community to fire safety was evident throughout. If you're looking for a way to give back to the community, the Fire Department is always looking for new volunteers — regardless of your training, education, or skill level. If you're interested, call the firehouse at 834-2192 and leave a message. April 27 featured the Town's 5K Run and Little Bunny Hop. I think all of us were there for that. This event has always been one of the Town's most popular offerings. This year's race was the largest to date with a total of 548 runners — 230 ran the Little Bunny Hop and 318 raced in the 5K. I'd like to thank the Recreation Department, the Town Fire Department, the Larchmont Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and the Town Highway Department, who each year come through for us to create this fun-filled event. I also want to thank Trader Joe's, who are always generous with donations of food and drink. And how about our own... We had Anant run! On April 29th, I attended — with Sabrina and Robin — a meeting of the Town's Budget Committee. This meeting was a tax tutorial given by the financial dynamic duo of Tracy and Meredith. Even though it wasn't my first rodeo, I found it really informative. And thank you, because we were there for hours, and I can't even imagine how many hours it took you to make all those slides and prepare. On May 1st, Sabrina, Robin, Anant, and I attended the 100th Anniversary of the Women's Club of Larchmont. It was a wonderful celebration and so interesting to hear the history of this philanthropic organization in our community. Town Board May 7, 2025 May 3rd was another environmental day. The Town Spring Cleanup and Compost Giveaway both occurred. I was happy to see our Leatherstocking Trail Cleanup go through — so many volunteers, and the trails are really clean and beautiful now. And they always find interesting garbage! I want to thank them for keeping the Town so beautiful. Then we had the Compost Giveaway at Maxwell Avenue. This is a resident favorite -- cars were lined up, and this year's event was a big success. The Sustainability Collaborative and the Sanitation Commission worked together again to make it all happen. On May 4, I attended the 2025 base opening for Flotilla 75 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. They are very critical for us. Long Island Sound is one of our greatest assets, and they work hard on boater safety through training classes, patrols, and more. Yesterday, May 6th, I was honored to attend the christening of the first Harlem Rocket Fleet boat, "Hazel and Dukes." She's heading to Harlem now for tours of the Hudson River. Hazel Dukes was an inspirational activist, including as president of the NAACP. This venture hopes to grow into an ongoing business with more boats launched from 125th Street — but they're built right here at the Mamaroneck Director's Shipyard. And finally, later this month we'll be honoring the veterans we lost on Memorial Day. There are many events — the full list is posted on the Town website. I want to highlight just two. On Thursday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. there is the Town of Mamaroneck and Village of Larchmont Memorial Day Parade. It starts at the Chatsworth Avenue bridge, crosses Palmer Avenue, and goes down Larchmont Avenue to the Larchmont Firehouse. It's a favorite event every year. PUBLIC HEARING(S) 1. Public Hearing for Improvement of Garbage District #1 - Demolition of Garbage Incinerator (Public Interest Order and Bond Resolution) The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows: 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 May 7, 2025, at 8 o'clock P.M., Prevailing Time, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing upon a map, plan and report including 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 demolition of a municipally- owned garbage incinerator at the Sanitation Building, including incidental expenses in connection therewith, at a maximum estimated cost of $513,000. It has been determined that said project is an Unlisted Action under the regulations promulgated under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, as to which a Negative Declaration has been made. At said public hearing said Town Board will hear all persons interested in the subject matter thereof. Published: April 22, 2025 Moved by Councilmember Nichinsky, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, the Public Hearing was unanimously opened. Carried Administrator Robson began by explaining the urgent safety concerns posed by the deteriorating incinerator building. The structure, located at the Town's sanitation yard, has been deemed unstable by the Town's structural engineer. To mitigate the hazard while preserving the Verizon cell tower mounted on the building, the Town is proceeding with a two-phase demolition plan. Phase one will remove the upper Town Board May 7, 2025 portion of the building. Phase two, which involves taking down the base that supports the cell tower, will be deferred until Verizon is able to relocate the tower. Administrator Robson noted that several public comments received prior to the hearing had questioned this phased approach and recommended a cost comparison for completing the demolition in one unified project. See Attachments A and B. Councilmember Fiddelman addressed those concerns directly, next, acknowledging that members of the public have asked why the Town is simply not demolishing the entire building at once. Councilmember Fiddelman explained that the presence of the Verizon cell tower complicates matters: removing the tower without prior relocation would result in a loss of both communication service and contractual revenue. Additionally, Councilmember Fiddelman expressed concern over the time it has taken to move forward with demolition, due in large part to necessary asbestos inspections and remediation planning. Councilmember Nichinsky asked whether removing the top half of the building would alleviate the most immediate safety concerns. Administrator Robson confirmed that it would but also confirmed we would need eventually to take the second half down. Councilmember Nichinsky also acknowledged the logistical difficulties of the site and thanked Administrator Robson for her diligence in managing the situation. Resident Terence Pare addressed the Board and spoke in support of reevaluating the current demolition strategy for the incinerator building. Drawing a parallel to a personal experience involving a structurally compromised garage on his property, he questioned the Town's timeline, noting that if the building had truly posed an "imminent danger" last fall, then full demolition should already have taken place. Mr. Pare urged the Town to conduct a complete financial analysis comparing the cost of a single-phase demolition versus the current two-phase plan, stating, "Common sense tells me it would cost less." Mr. Pare suggested that the Board could not make a fully informed decision without all relevant data. Mr. Pare clarified that while he is a Trustee for the Village of Larchmont, he was speaking here in his individual (Town resident) capacity. Mr. Pare shared that the Village Board is broadly supportive of full demolition, although no formal resolution had yet been adopted. Mr. Pare also reminded the Town Board that any final decision must be made jointly by both municipalities. Mr. Pare reiterated his call for a full cost comparison and questioned whether the delay was due to financial constraints or logistical obstacles, asking, "Are we getting the best deal under the circumstances?" Administrator Robson responded that the estimated cost of demolishing the lower portion in a second phase is between $1 million and $1.2 million, and that this work cannot be safely delayed indefinitely. The facility is used daily by Town staff, sanitation vehicles and residents, and the building remains a safety risk. The Town Administrator emphasized that the Town's structural engineer would not endorse the suggestion that it poses no danger. The Town Administrator added that scheduling qualified contractors for hazardous demolitions is difficult and that this project has already faced delays due to asbestos remediation. Administrator Robson confirmed that the issue had also been discussed with the Sanitation Commission. Councilmember Nambiar acknowledged that the concerns raised by residents were valid and deserved consideration. However, Councilmember Nambiar emphasized that the Board must ultimately make a decision based on safety. "What the team has decided is that we must put the safety of our workers above the finances in this case," Councilmember Nambiar stated, adding that the risk to workers and equipment in the yard was a pressing concern. Councilmember Fiddelman reiterated that the situation is urgent and that delaying the partial demolition any longer would be irresponsible. Councilmember Fiddelman Town Board May 7, 2025 emphasized the need to act before an avoidable collapse occurs. "This is about imminent danger," Councilmember Fiddelman said. Supervisor Elkind Eney agreed, stating that safety must be the Town's top priority. The Town Supervisor expressed concern about the risks to employees and the public. Further discussion returned to the cell tower and its implications. Councilmember Nambiar asked the Town Administrator about Verizon's role in the timeline and how long it would realistically take to move the tower. Administrator Robson estimated 1 to 3 years, noting that Verizon is still determining its relocation plan. Administrator Robson clarified that the Town is actively working with Verizon to coordinate the transition, but the process remains complex and time-consuming. Mr. Pare questioned whether removing the chimney would necessarily have an impact on the functioning of the cell tower, suggesting that the structure's continued presence might not be essential to the tower's operation. Administrator Robson responded that she was not certain and that Verizon's engineers would need to confirm any assumptions. Mr. Pare concluded by urging the Board to plan for the unexpected and emphasized the importance of fully understanding the financial and operational trade-offs of both approaches. Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, the Public Hearing was unanimously closed.

Public Hearing for Improvement of Water District #1 - Rye Lake Filtration Plant (Public Interest Order and Bond Resolution) The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows: 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 May 7, 2025, 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 Water District No. 1 , in said Town, being the Rye Lake Filtration Plant Project of the Westchester Joint Water Works ("WJWW'), including incidental improvements and expenses in connection therewith, at a maximum estimated cost of $11,355,000. It has been determined that said project is an Unlisted 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. Published: April 22, 2025 Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar, the Public Hearing was unanimously opened. Carried Comptroller Yogman provided a detailed financial overview of the Rye Lake Filtration Plant project. The Comptroller explained that both the state consent decree and the Intermunicipal Grant (IMG) requirements mandate that each member municipality of the Westchester Joint Water Works (WJWW) formally adopt bond resolutions for their full share of the project cost. The total revised estimated cost of the filtration plant is now $205 million, an increase of $30 million from previous projections. As a member of WJWW, the Town of Mamaroneck's share is 16.7%, which translates to $34,235,000. Comptroller Yogman reminded the Board that the WJWW was awarded a $30 million IMG grant, which will reduce the Town's obligation by $5,010,000, bringing the total required funding to $29,225,000. Of that amount, the Town has already adopted bond resolutions totaling $23,473,000. The proposed bond resolution before the Board — in the amount of $11,355,000 — will complete the Town's financial commitment based on current estimates. Yogman noted that the Town has been issuing bonds in annual increments of approximately $5.7 million for the past five years and expects to complete its share of financing by the end of 2028, ensuring the full amount is available as construction progresses. Councilmember Fiddelman emphasized that the Town's drinking water remains safe and in compliance with health standards. The filtration plant is a forward-looking investment to ensure continued safety and quality in the years ahead. Supervisor Elkind Eney added historical and legal context, noting that the Town had been subject to litigation and faced potential penalties exceeding $200 million. Through successful negotiation, the municipalities were able to settle and shift toward a consent-based compliance model. The Town Supervisor expressed satisfaction that the project is now on track, both in terms of funding and construction timelines. Next, Councilmember Nichinsky spoke to the Town's approach of budgeting smaller bond issuances annually, rather than one large issuance, to better manage the fiscal impact on residents and the Town's budget. Lastly, Councilmember King inquired about the participation of the other WJWW member municipalities: the Village of Mamaroneck, the Town and Village of Harrison, and the Town of Mamaroneck. Comptroller Yogman confirmed that each member is Town Board May 7, 2025 required to adopt its respective bond resolutions, and the process is underway across all jurisdictions.

Carried RESIDENT COMMENTS David Slosh of 45 Marbourne Drive addressed the Town Board. First, Mr. Slosh asked for clarification on how the Town's bonds are rated and who sets the interest rates. Comptroller Yogman explained the process of securing ratings through Standard & Poor's, followed by competitive bid offerings through the Town's financial advisor to secure favorable borrowing terms. Second, Mr. Slosh expressed frustration about what he called "zero compliance" with the Town's gas-powered leaf blower ban. Mr. Slosh noted that signage was insufficient and compared Mamaroneck's approach unfavorably to Scarsdale, which promotes their ban on large signs. Mr. Slosh advocated better awareness and enforcement rather than punitive action. Supervisor Elkind Eney, Administrator Robson, and Councilmember Fiddelman all responded. They emphasized the existing signage, police discretion, resident notifications, and active response to complaints (including over 45 police calls to a single neighborhood). Mr. Slosh appreciated the information and clarified he was seeking increased signage and public awareness. Terence Pare, resident and Trustee of the Village of Larchmont, addressed the Board and clarified that tonight he was speaking in his personal capacity, not as an official representative of the Village Board. Mr. Pare noted that while the Village Board had discussed the incinerator demolition extensively, no formal decision had been reached. Mr. Pare reiterated his prior comments, urging the Town to consider a full cost comparison of a one-phase versus two-phase incinerator demolition approach before proceeding.

Town Board May 7, 2025 TOWN ATTORNEY'S REPORT Town Attorney William Maker Jr. wished all mothers a Happy Mother's Day. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT Town Administrator Robson reported that once again, Public Service Recognition Week is upon us from May 4 through 10. It is an opportunity to raise awareness of the work that our public sector employees do every day and thank them for their incredible efforts. While this recognition is for all public sector employees, it is local government that often touches the lives of people in our community most directly. Many times, the Administrator said, it is the "little" things that staff does that no one sees that make the service they provide so remarkable. The extra time, attention and energy they put into something that is not necessarily required, but that they know will make things better— that is the mark of a truly dedicated staff. And it is ultimately the little things that become the big things in the best of ways. So, in recognition and honor of all the services provided by all of our staff and the ways in which they go the extra mile, I'd like to thank them all from the bottom of my heart. Their efforts do not go unnoticed and are very much appreciated and applauded. Thank you to our staff for all of the effort they put in on behalf of this community on a daily basis!

Carried Moved by Councilmember Nichinsky, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar, the Town Board unanimously agreed to end the Executive Session and adjourn the meeting at 11 p.m. Carried Town Board May 7, 2025 REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING - May 21, 2025 Respectfully submitted by Allison May, Town Clerk Town Board May 7, 2025 Attachment A Michael Gottfried 16 Ocean Avenue Larchmont,NY 10538 610 May 6,2025 Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney Council Members Fiddelman,King,Nambiar and Nichinsky Town of Mamaroneck 740 West Boston Post Road Mamaroneck,NY 10543 Dear Supervisor and Members of the Mamaroneck Town Board: I write in advance of the May 7,2025 public hearing on the proposed resolution to authorize the issuance of a bond for$513k towards the Town Garbage District's share of the demolition of the incinerator at the Maxwell Avenue Facility. In short,the public has not received adequate information about the impending project. All we have been told is that removal of the top part of the incinerator building is now urgent and that taking down the entire structure is prohibitively expensive. Where is(are)the report(s)which explain the exigency. Where is the timeline for the proposed work and any additional work if it is done in stages? Where are the competitive bids to undertake the project,in whole or in multiple stages? Timely sharing of relevant information about the demolition is particularly important in this matter in light of the environmental risks and the expected disruption to those who work and reside near the impacted facility. More information should be shared with the community about the planned work. That said,no one should quarrel with your decision to take down a 90-year-old, compromised incinerator building which has been dormant for five decades. The question before you is whether the bonding resolution should permit the work to be fully planned and undertaken at this time or if you are going to allow the Commission to"kick the can down the road"on the remainder of the demolition. I support your approval of a bonding resolution that funds the Town's share of the total demolition of the incinerator building. To do otherwise seems frugally unwise based on the information we have been given so far. Respectfully, Michael Go frie Cc: Brian Lobel Town Board May 7, 2025 Attachment B May, Allison From: Sent: Tuesday, May 06,2025 7:21 PM To: Eney,Jaine Elkind;Fiddelman,Sabrina; King,Jeffery;Anant Nambiar;Nichinsky, Robin Cc: Meredith Robson; May,Allison; Michael Gottfried Subject: Re: May 7,2025 Public Hearing on Garbage District Bonding Authority Good evening, I agree with the letter/comments (dated today) from Mr. Michael Gottfried, regarding the proposed garbage district bonding, which I understand is being distributed to the board. Sufficient information has not been provided by the town. I do not understand how the building situation was allowed to progress to such an emergency. I do not understand the economics of demolition of only a portion of the structure, other than perhaps lower initial costs. What are the costs of various alternative approaches, e.g. partial vs. full demolition and abatement, incrementally vs. at one time, now and in the future? What are the plans for any remaining structure/site? A fuller economic analysis and site plan should be provided along with the proposed bond resolution.
