INTERDEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 21, 2026
REVISED: February 10, 2026
TO: Meredith Robson, Town Administrator
CC: Tracy Yogman, Town Comptroller
FROM: Robert Wasp, P.E., Town Engineer
SUBJECT: Fee Modifications for EV Charging Stations
The Engineering Department has completed an analysis of regional public electric
vehicle (EV) charging stations for the basis of fee adjustment. The Town currently
operates (8) public EV charging ports over its network of(4) charging stations. The
Town's current fee rate of$0.30 per kWh is below the average of public available EV
charging stations found in surrounding communities.
Charging Rate Cost Comparison & Adjustment
The Town of Mamaroneck's current fee rate of$0.30 per kWh was set through the
original adoption of Local Law No. 3-2020 and has not been adjusted to account for
current electrical supply and station maintenance costs. Please refer to the attached
summary table of regional rates as obtained through the ChargePoint Station Network
portal. The Engineering Depai tiiient recommends increasing the Town's fee rate to $0.40
per kWh that remains below the surveyed regional average of$0.44 per kWh and helps
the Town to cover station operating costs for data subscriptions and maintenance.
It should be noted that the survey table excludes public EV chargers in the Village of
Mamaroneck Hunter Lot and Westchester County Center that do not charge for electrical
power. Visitors to these charging stations remain responsible for other conventional
parking fees charged by the respective government owner.
Idle Fee Implementation
Idle fees are assessed to EV charging customers whose vehicles that remain connected
after the charging session is completed. Vehicles that fail to vacate the parking stall after
charging limit availability of the station to other potential users.

•FOUNDED1661• Town Engineer
The following is a summary of recommended terms for implementation of a new Idle
Fee:
• Proposed Structure: A fee of$5.00 per hour.
• Grace Period: Idle fees begin only after a 30-minute grace period once the
charging session is complete. **The Town's Chargepoint station management
portal allows customization for hours/days of the week when Idle fees are
applicable but does not allow different grace periods (i.e. 30 mins versus 6
hours) to be programmed as part of that schedule.
• Regional Context: The recommended fee aligns with neighboring communities
such as Scarsdale and New Rochelle. **The Engineering Department has not
located any regional EV charging stations that limit the hours where Idle fees
are assessed.
Recommendation
The Engineering Department recommends that the Town Board consider increasing its
EV charging station fee rate to $0.40 per kWh rate and adopt a new $5.00/hour Idle
Fee.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

• 175 Myrtle Blvd Station — 8:30 AM —6:00 PM application of Idle Fees
• Baldwin Ave at Memorial Park— 8:30 AM —6:00 PM application of Idle Fees
Future stations to be constructed in 2026

Re: Senior Citizen with Limited Income Exemptions
Date: March 4, 2026
The Town currently offers a "Senior Citizen with Limited Income" tax exemption for qualified
residents. Approximately 226 residents benefit from these exemptions as result of their "income"
falling at or below the maximum level of$58,399.99. The tax exemption calculations directly impact
the Town's final assessment roll.
In her memo, Assessor Pamela Valenza outlines 2 methods which may be utilized to determine tax
exemption calculations. Currently, the Town uses Method 1. At this time, Pamela is requesting the
Board review the methods to determine whether or not they would like to change the exemptions
offered. If the Board decides to continue using Method 1, no action is needed at this time. Should the
Board wish to adopt a different method, a local law will need to be drafted.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Meredith Robson,Town Administrator
FROM: Pamela Valenza,Assessor
DATE: 2/25/2026
RE: RPTL 467 -Seniors(65 or older)with Limited Income
The Town of Mamaroneck currently offers a"Senior Citizen with Limited Income"exemption for qualifying applicants.
Approximately 226 parcels benefit from this exemption as result of resident(s)"income"falling at or below the maximum
level of$58,399.99. This exemption decreased the Town's 2025 taxable assessed value by$61,000,000,or approximately
$117,000 yearly.
The County of Westchester adopted an alternate New York State method of calculating income that does not include
"untaxed social security benefits."This new methodology was implemented on our 2025 assessment roll for County tax
purposes only and resulted in approximately 36 more seniors qualifying for the exemption in contrast to the Town's
methodology of including untaxed social security benefits for Town tax purposes.Based on our 2025 assessment roll
exemption data,the impact to the Town in aligning with the County's adopted income methodology would be a decrease
the Town's taxable assessment of approximately $6,300,000,or an additional$15,200 yearly. If the Town decides to
remain with the current option,no action is required.

MEMORANDUM
To: Members of the Town Board
cc: Meredith S. Robson, Town Administrator
Allison May,Town Clerk
Richard Polcari,Building Inspector
From: William Maker,Jr.,Attorney for the Town
Subject: Revision in the setback requirements for central air conditioning units
Date: February 27, 2026
The Building Inspector has opined that the Town's current side and rear yard setback
requirements for central air conditioning systems has become antiquated due to improvements
in technology that have reduced the noise generated by such systems significantly.
I attach a proposed local law that, if adopted, will amend section 240-59 of the Code to
reduce the side and rear yard setback for central air conditioning systems to five feet.
If the Town Board considers this revised law worthy of public discussion, it should refer
it to the Planning Board. for a report as required by Mamaroneck Town Code §240-92B.

Local Law No. -2026
This local law shall be known as the "Setback Requirements for Air-Conditioning Systems" law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1-PurPose:
On December 5, 2001, the Town Board passed Local Law No. 8 of 2001 which added section 240-59
to the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck. That new section regulated the location of central air
conditioning systems by requiring them to comply with the setback requirements of the zoning
districts in which they were placed.
The primary concern at that time was to create distance between neighboring properties to lessen
the impact of the noise created by central air conditioning systems. Twenty-five years later,
technology has evolved to the point that central air conditioning systems no longer generate
significant noise. As a result, the Board of Appeals has granted variances from the setback
requirements on a regular basis.
The Town Board has determined that section 240-59 should be amended due to current
technological advances. In 2025, of the 80 applications for variances heard by that Board in 2025,
23 were for variances from the setback requirements for central air conditioning systems. By doing
so, not only will the Code be modernized but the number of applications to the Board of Appeals
should be reduced.
Section 2-Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 240-59 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by adding the
following new Subsection D.
D. The side and rear yard setbacks requirements for a central air conditioning system shall be
5 feet notwithstanding the side and rear yard setback requirements of the zoning district in
which a central air conditioning system is installed.
Section 3-Severabilityv:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Page 12 of 28
Section 4—Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State.

Re: Policy for Compliance with the Notification Required in Connection with
Disclosure of Disciplinary Records
Date: March 4, 2026
Attached please find a memo from Town Attorney, William Maker, regarding a disclosure
notification policy required under New York Public Officers Law § 87(6).
Action Requested:
Resolved that the Town Board hereby approves the "Policy for Compliance with the
Notification Required in Connection with Disclosure of Disciplinary Records" as
presented.
Attachment/s:
Disclosure policy 02-27-26
Page 14 of 28
Policy for Compliance with the Notification Required
In connection with Disclosure of Disciplinary Records
New York Public Officers Law § 87(6) requires agencies subject to the Freedom of Information
Law (article 6 of the Public Officers Law) to develop a policy for notifying their former and
current employes of requests for the disciplinary proceedings brought against them.
The following is the Town's policy for complying with New York Public Officers Law§ 87(6)
(1) When used in this policy, the term "employee"means both current and former
employees of the Town of Mamaroneck.
(2) Upon receipt of a request for the disciplinary records of an employee,the Town's
records access officer shall send written notice of such request to the employee as
soon as possible. That notice may be either hand delivered to the employee, or
mailed, by certified and first class mail, to the employee in an envelope
addressed to him or her at the last postal address known to the Town for the
employee, or transmitted to the employee by electronic mail if the record access
officer is reasonably certain that such electronic mail address is the employee's
then current electronic mail address. The Town shall not be obligated to assure
that an employee actually receives such notice.
(3) If asked by the employee, the Town's records access officer shall provide the
employee with a copy of the request for the employee's disciplinary records and
the response given to the person making such request.
(4) Nothing in this policy shall be construed as providing an employee greater rights
to object to the release of the employee's disciplinary records than the rights
provided to that employee by article 6 of the Public Officers Law.
(5) Responding to a request for disciplinary records before an employee receives
notice of the request will not be a violation of this Policy.
(6) The Town Board may amend this policy from time to time.

MEMORANDUM
To: Members of the Town Board
cc: Meredith S. Robson, Town Administrator
Allison May,Town Clerk
Richard Polcari,Building Inspector
From: William Maker,Jr.,Attorney for the Town
Subject: Revision in the setback requirements for central air conditioning units
Date: February 27, 2026
The Building Inspector has opined that the Town's current side and rear yard setback
requirements for central air conditioning systems has become antiquated due to improvements
in technology that have reduced the noise generated by such systems significantly.
I attach a proposed local law that, if adopted, will amend section 240-59 of the Code to
reduce the side and rear yard setback for central air conditioning systems to five feet.
If the Town Board considers this revised law worthy of public discussion, it should refer
it to the Planning Board. for a report as required by Mamaroneck Town Code §240-92B.

Local Law No. -2026
This local law shall be known as the "Setback Requirements for Air-Conditioning Systems" law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1-PurPose:
On December 5, 2001, the Town Board passed Local Law No. 8 of 2001 which added section 240-59
to the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck. That new section regulated the location of central air
conditioning systems by requiring them to comply with the setback requirements of the zoning
districts in which they were placed.
The primary concern at that time was to create distance between neighboring properties to lessen
the impact of the noise created by central air conditioning systems. Twenty-five years later,
technology has evolved to the point that central air conditioning systems no longer generate
significant noise. As a result, the Board of Appeals has granted variances from the setback
requirements on a regular basis.
The Town Board has determined that section 240-59 should be amended due to current
technological advances. In 2025, of the 80 applications for variances heard by that Board in 2025,
23 were for variances from the setback requirements for central air conditioning systems. By doing
so, not only will the Code be modernized but the number of applications to the Board of Appeals
should be reduced.
Section 2-Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 240-59 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by adding the
following new Subsection D.
D. The side and rear yard setbacks requirements for a central air conditioning system shall be
5 feet notwithstanding the side and rear yard setback requirements of the zoning district in
which a central air conditioning system is installed.
Section 3-Severabilityv:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.

Section 4—Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State.

Re: Policy for Compliance with the Notification Required in Connection with

Date: March 4, 2026
Attached please find a memo from Town Attorney, William Maker, regarding a disclosure
notification policy required under New York Public Officers Law § 87(6).
Action Requested:
Resolved that the Town Board hereby approves the "Policy for Compliance with the
Notification Required in Connection with Disclosure of Disciplinary Records" as
presented.
Attachment/s:

Policy for Compliance with the Notification Required
In connection with Disclosure of Disciplinary Records
New York Public Officers Law § 87(6) requires agencies subject to the Freedom of Information
Law (article 6 of the Public Officers Law) to develop a policy for notifying their former and
current employes of requests for the disciplinary proceedings brought against them.
The following is the Town's policy for complying with New York Public Officers Law§ 87(6)
(1) When used in this policy, the term "employee"means both current and former
employees of the Town of Mamaroneck.
(2) Upon receipt of a request for the disciplinary records of an employee,the Town's
records access officer shall send written notice of such request to the employee as
soon as possible. That notice may be either hand delivered to the employee, or
mailed, by certified and first class mail, to the employee in an envelope
addressed to him or her at the last postal address known to the Town for the
employee, or transmitted to the employee by electronic mail if the record access
officer is reasonably certain that such electronic mail address is the employee's
then current electronic mail address. The Town shall not be obligated to assure
that an employee actually receives such notice.
(3) If asked by the employee, the Town's records access officer shall provide the
employee with a copy of the request for the employee's disciplinary records and
the response given to the person making such request.
(4) Nothing in this policy shall be construed as providing an employee greater rights
to object to the release of the employee's disciplinary records than the rights
provided to that employee by article 6 of the Public Officers Law.
(5) Responding to a request for disciplinary records before an employee receives
notice of the request will not be a violation of this Policy.
(6) The Town Board may amend this policy from time to time.
