King, Councilmember Robin Nichinsky, Councilmember ABSENT: Anant Nambiar, Councilmember ALSO PRESENT: Allison May, Town Clerk Meredith S. Robson, Town Administrator William Maker Jr., Town Attorney Tracy Yogman, Town Comptroller Robert P. Wasp, Town Engineer Christine Canavan, Assistant to the Town Administrator 5:00 PM THE TOWN BOARD WORK SESSION On motion of Councilmember King, and seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, the meeting unanimously opened at 5:01 p.m. Carried WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. MOVE TO NEXT MEETING: Proclamation - Retired Historian The proposed proclamation honoring the Town's retired Historian was postponed to a future meeting due to the honoree's unavailability. 2. OUT OF ORDER: Discussion - Ambulance District Fee Schedule Ambulance Director Michael Liverzani reviewed the proposed 2026 Ambulance District Fee Schedule. Following a review with the Town's billing provider, it was determined that the Town's current ambulance fees are significantly lower than those charged by neighboring municipalities. The proposed fee adjustments are intended to align the Town's rates with customary and reasonable regional charges, thereby improving reimbursement from commercial insurers, automobile insurance carriers, and workers' compensation providers. Mr. Liverzani explained that approximately 90% of ambulance transport is billed to insurance providers, while only a small percentage are billed directly to patients. The proposed changes are projected to increase ambulance district revenues by approximately 30% and help offset the cost of providing service to uninsured or underinsured residents. Town Board October 8, 2025 The proposed schedule increases the Basic Life Support (BLS) Emergency fee from $745 to $1,500, the Advanced Life Support (ALS) I Emergency fee from $940 to $2,200, the ALS II Emergency fee from $1,065 to $3,000, and mileage charges from $25 to $35 per loaded mile. The ALS Assessment fee remains unchanged at $70. The changes are not expected to affect Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements, which are established by federal reimbursement schedules. Councilmember Nichinsky joined the meeting at 5:04 p.m. 3. Discussion - Agreement Design Development - Baldwin Avenue Pump Station Town Engineer Robert Wasp reviewed a proposed agreement with Al Engineers for continued design development of the Baldwin Avenue Pump Station Replacement Project. Mr. Wasp explained that the Baldwin Avenue Pump Station is the Town's only sanitary sewer pump station and is a critical component of the Town's sanitary sewer system. Constructed in the 1980s, the facility is approaching the end of its useful life and lacks many of the monitoring and operational capabilities available in modern pump station facilities. Engineer Wasp explained that the existing station does not provide comprehensive remote monitoring, making it difficult to identify equipment failures before they result in operational problems. The proposed replacement facility would include modern controls, telemetry, and monitoring systems designed to improve reliability, operational efficiency, and the Town's ability to respond to system issues before sanitary sewer overflows occur. The Town previously retained Al Engineers to perform preliminary evaluations of the facility. Following additional sewer flow monitoring completed during the summer of 2025, the consultant confirmed that the original scope of work and fee proposal remain appropriate. The proposed design services include topographic surveying, geotechnical investigations, preliminary and final engineering design, permitting assistance, bid-phase services, and optional construction administration services. The Town Engineer stated that the consultant will evaluate up to three potential locations for a new pre-engineered package pump station. The design process will include hydraulic analysis, electrical design, and coordination with regulatory agencies. He noted that modern pre-packaged pump stations are generally more compact and efficient than traditional facilities and may provide opportunities to improve the use of adjacent park space depending upon the final location selected. Councilmember Fiddelman asked whether relocating the station could create additional usable green space in the park. Engineer Wasp responded that alternative locations, including areas adjacent to the existing facility, would be evaluated during the design phase. He noted that the existing pump station would remain operational until the new facility is fully constructed and ready for service. The Town Engineer further explained that the existing station has experienced operational challenges in recent years, including a period when only one of the facility's three pumps remained operational. He noted that the replacement project will provide properly sized pumps calibrated to current flow conditions and will improve the Town's ability to manage flows entering the downstream County sewer system. Councilmember Nichinsky noted the importance of the 60% and 100% design milestones included in the agreement, which will provide opportunities for Town review and input before the design is finalized. Discussion also included the estimated project costs, anticipated grant opportunities, and the potential for future County participation given the project's relationship to downstream County infrastructure. The proposed agreement with Al Engineers is in the amount of $226,010 and will be funded through Capital Project H8123. Engineer Wasp stated that the Town has approximately $320,000 budgeted for design services and that the proposed Town Board October 8, 2025 construction budget is currently estimated at approximately $2.1 million. The design phase is anticipated to be completed by the summer of 2026, with construction bidding to follow thereafter. 4. Discussion - Madison Avenue Project Town Engineer Robert Wasp reviewed the status of several coordinated infrastructure projects in the Madison Avenue corridor, including the Green Innovation Grant Program (GIGP), the proposed roundabout improvements, and related stormwater management initiatives. Engineer Wasp discussed how the projects are interconnected and coordinated to maximize infrastructure, transportation, and flood mitigation benefits. The Town Engineer explained that the project area includes several overlapping capital projects requiring coordination among multiple consultants and agencies. The original GIGP project, which received grant funding in 2018, has been modified in certain locations to accommodate future transportation improvements associated with the proposed roundabout project. Engineer Wasp described several green infrastructure elements proposed as part of the project, including permeable pavement, planted stormwater management areas, and underground bioretention systems designed to reduce stormwater runoff, improve water quality, and mitigate localized flooding. The Town Engineer noted that recent modeling and flow data have been incorporated into the design process and that information is being shared among the various consultants to ensure compatibility among the projects. The Board discussed project limits, elevations, funding sources, and anticipated construction schedules. Engineer Wasp stated that the GIGP project remains on schedule and is anticipated to be substantially completed by the third quarter of 2026. Public feedback and final design refinements are expected over the coming months, with bidding anticipated thereafter. Board members discussed project coordination, anticipated construction sequencing, and long-term flood mitigation benefits of the Madison Avenue Project. 5. Discussion - IMA Yard Waste & Leaf Disposal Town Administrator Robson reviewed a proposed Intermunicipal Agreement with the Village of Scarsdale for the disposal of yard waste and leaves. The Administrator explained that the agreement is intended to serve as a contingency plan should the Town's current disposal vendor, Moriarity Services of Larchmont, become unavailable before the end of the leaf collection season. The proposed agreement would allow the Town to utilize Scarsdale's Organic Waste Transfer Station on an as-needed basis. The Administrator noted that the Town would have no obligation to use the facility if existing disposal arrangements remain available. Councilmembers discussed the flexibility of the proposed arrangement and confirmed that the Town would have no obligation to utilize the Scarsdale facility if existing disposal services remained available. Administrator Robson noted that the agreement was being pursued solely to ensure continuity of service and provide an alternative disposal option should circumstances require it. Discussion also included the proposed tipping fee of $45 per ton and the potential financial impact, should the Town need to rely on the Scarsdale facility. Administrator Robson explained that use of the facility could increase seasonal disposal costs by approximately $30,000, representing an estimated 40 to 50 percent increase over current costs. Councilmembers agreed that securing a backup disposal option was prudent to ensure uninterrupted leaf and yard waste collection services for residents. Town Board October 8, 2025 6. Request for Executive Session Moved by Councilmember Nichinsky, seconded by Councilmember King, the Town Board agreed to enter into Executive Session to discuss current litigation with Mamaroneck Realty LLC, 739 Apartments LLC, the Village of Larchmont, the Tree Law litigation, and the employment history of a particular person or persons. Carried Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember King, the Town Board unanimously agreed to resume the Regular Meeting. Carried 7. Discussion - Budget Calendar Town Administrator Robson reviewed the proposed 2026 Budget Calendar and outlined efforts to provide both the Town Board and the public with additional time to review budget materials. Under the proposed schedule, the Tentative Budget would be released on October 20, 2025, accompanied by a high-level summary presentation, followed by a more detailed budget presentation on November 5, 2025. Public hearings on the Preliminary Budget, Tax Cap Override, and Sewer Rate would be scheduled for December 3, 2025, with final budget adoption anticipated on December 17, 2025. The Board discussed the timing of budget presentations, departmental budget reviews, public hearings, and statutory budget deadlines. Councilmembers expressed support for increasing transparency and providing additional opportunities for both the Board and residents to review and analyze budget materials before formal action. The Board generally supported releasing the Tentative Budget accompanied by a summary presentation, followed by more detailed budget discussions and public hearings as the process progressed. The Board discussed scheduling additional departmental budget reviews on October 23, October 25, and October 30, 2025. 8. Updates Administrator Robson provided an update regarding the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Plan. The Administrator reported that revisions to the draft Implementation Plan remain underway and that an updated version will be presented to the Town Board for review prior to finalization. The Board discussed a request from the Sustainability Collaborative to review and provide input on the draft plan. Councilmember Nichinsky expressed support for providing the Sustainability Collaborative with an opportunity to comment on the document before it is finalized. Councilmember Fiddelman suggested that the Town Board first review the revised draft and provide initial feedback before the document is distributed more broadly to advisory committees and other interested stakeholders for comment. The Board also discussed concerns raised by the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals regarding requests involving structures or improvements that may not have obtained permits or approvals required under prior provisions of the Town Code. Lastly, the Board discussed an upcoming presentation regarding the Town's athletic fields and recreational facilities. Members discussed coordinating with the Recreation Commission and conducting site visits in advance of a presentation anticipated to be scheduled for October 20, 2025. 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 able to view the meeting on cable access television (Optimum 76/ Fios 35) or on LMCMedia.org. Town Board October 8, 2025 CALL TO ORDER The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Town Supervisor Elkind Eney at 8:30 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 October 8, 2025, meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck. The Town Board met today for a Work Session here in Conference Room A, starting at 5:00 p.m., which was open to the Public. On September 18, some of us attended a WMOA meeting in Pelham. The Speaker was NYSDEC Commissioner Amanda Lefton. I spoke with her afterwards. She was impressed by the collegiality of the elected officials in the various communities. On September 20, I attended the Town's Fall Cleanup, which runs in conjunction with International Coastal Cleanup Day, at the Hommocks Conservation Area. 22 volunteers collected 40 lbs. of garbage and 12 lbs. of comingled recycling. The most unusual item was a metal soccer goalpost! Then I attended PAWs in the Park at Harbor Island Park. What an event!! I have never seen so many people with dogs in one place in my life! Lastly, I attended a block party at Lafayette Road with grill master Jeff King. The next day, I attended another one at WSNA. I love attending all the block parties this time of the year. It is so much fun to see neighbors all together in the street enjoying each other's company. On September 25, we all attended the first of many budget meetings. We are looking at the budget very carefully to eliminate redundancies and increase efficiencies to save the taxpayers money. I am so proud to have led the charge, as Chair of WJWW, to settle a 20-year Federal and State enforcement action, saving our residents $200 million in potential fines, and ensuring continued safe drinking water for 100,000 Westchester County residents for generations to come. On September 26, I was joined by Sabrina, Anant, and other elected officials, Westchester Joint Water Works staff, labor leaders, the project engineer, and other stakeholders at a groundbreaking ceremony for the Rye Lake Water Filtration Plant to be built in Harrison. So many people collaborated to get us to this point. The groundbreaking was a sweet moment! On September 27, I attended with Robin the Larchmont Arts Festival. The weather was perfect, and there were so many "artists in residence". There was so much to see. On September 29, we broke ground on the new Weaver Street Sidewalk extension! This long-awaited project will create a safe, walkable corridor linking neighborhoods, Murray Avenue School, and the reservoir. And it is funded, in part, by grants. Thanks to all who made it happen. In attendance were resident Lisa Rubin Neuthaler and her son JJ„ Engineers Rob Wasp and Carol Murray and Jeff, Sabrina, Robin, and I. On October 1, I attended Coffee with a Cop—a day to strengthen the bonds between the police and the community they proudly serve. I want to thank the TOM's finest for all they do for us each and every day. On October 3, I met with the WSNA. This is a group, each of whom represents a building in the Washington Square Area. Meredith, Rob, Police Captain Maher and Lt. Hollywood represented the Town. We met to discuss their concerns on a variety of topics. This past weekend, there were a variety of events in Town: The Annual Food Truck Festival in Memorial Park, Build a Scarecrow in Harbor Island Park, Steinfest, Birdland Jazz at the Emelin, and several block parties. We truly live in a wonderful community where there is something for everyone...and if you try to do everything (which I did), it's exhausting!

PUBLIC HEARING(S) 1. Public Hearing - "Elimination of Renewals of Special Permits for Multifamily Dwellings" law The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows: PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Section 130 of the Town Law of the State of New York, a Public Hearing will be held on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 8:00 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible, to consider the "Elimination of Renewals of Special Permits for Multifamily Dwellings" law, at the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York. Purpose: Under the Town's zoning ordinance, the Service Business-Residential District allows multifamily dwellings only pursuant to a special permit issued by the Planning Board. In contrast, the Business-Residential District allows multifamily dwellings as of right but requires an applicant to obtain site plan approval. Thus, permission from the Planning Board for a multifamily dwelling is required for properties in each of these districts. Where the disparity in procedure becomes problematic is section 240-64 of the zoning ordinance. That section limits the maximum duration of special permits to two years at which time they must be renewed. Approved site plans, on the other hand, do not have to be renewed. While periodic review of certain uses may be appropriate as a means of judging their effect upon the community, multifamily dwellings are not such a use. If it were, the Town would have made multifamily dwellings in the Business-Residential District a special use, requiring a special permit that periodically would have to be renewed instead of allowing it to be regulated by the Planning Board only once through site plan review. This local law eliminates that disparity by ending the requirement to renew special permits for multifamily dwellings in the Service Business-Residential District. You may also view the meeting on local municipal access television (Cablevision 75, 76, 77 or Verizon 34, 35, 36) or on LMC Media's website, https://lmcmedia.org.

BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK Town Board October 8, 2025 Published: September 24, 2025 Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, the Public Hearing was unanimously opened. Carried After Attorney Maker briefly introduced the proposed local law, Councilmember Nichinsky stated that the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and eliminates an inconsistency in the Town Code. Supervisor Elkind Eney agreed, noting that the amendment also reflects a common-sense approach to the regulation of multifamily dwellings. Supervisor Elkind Eney opened the floor for public comment on the proposed local law. There being no further comments from the public, the hearing was closed. Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, the Public Hearing was unanimously closed. Carried Moved by Councilmember Nichinsky, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, the following Local law was approved: Local Law No. 8 - 2025 This local law shall be known as the "Elimination of Renewals of Special Permits for Multifamily Dwellings" law. BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck Section 1 — Purpose: Under the Town's zoning ordinance, the Service Business-Residential District allows multifamily dwellings only pursuant to a special permit issued by the Planning Board. In contrast, the Business-Residential District allows multifamily dwellings as of right but requires an applicant to obtain site plan approval. Thus, permission from the Planning Board for a multifamily dwelling is required for properties in each of these districts. Where the disparity in procedure becomes problematic is section 240-64 of the zoning ordinance. That section limits the maximum duration of special permits to two years at which time they must be renewed. Approved site plans, on the other hand, do not have to be renewed. While periodic review of certain uses may be appropriate as a means of judging their effect upon the community, multifamily dwellings are not such a use. If it were, the Town would have made multifamily dwellings in the Business-Residential District a special use, requiring a special permit that periodically would have to be renewed instead of allowing it to be regulated by the Planning Board only once through site plan review. This local law eliminates that disparity by ending the requirement to renew special permits for multifamily dwellings in the Service Business-Residential District. Section 2 —Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code: Section 240-64 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is repealed, and the following is substituted in its place: Town Board October 8, 2025 § 240-64 Conditions and safeguards. The Planning Board shall attach such conditions and safeguards to the special permit as are necessary to ensure continued conformity with all applicable standards and requirements. Except in the case of multifamily dwellings, special permits shall be issued for a period of no more than two years. Before the expiration of a special permit, the holder of that permit must apply for an extension of the special permit and demonstrate that there has been no change in circumstances in the area which would require the Planning Board to deny such extension. Special permits for multifamily dwellings, whether issued before, on or after the effective date of this local law, shall be for an indefinite duration. Section 3 — Severability: 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 filing with the Secretary of State. Carried 2. Public Hearing - Cable Franchise Agreement - Cablevision of So. Westchester, Inc. The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows: PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Section 130 of the Town Law of the State of New York, a Public Hearing will be held on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 8:00 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible, to review and consider the proposed Cable Franchise Agreement with Cablevision of Southern Westchester, Inc. at the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York. You may also view the meeting on local municipal access television (Cablevision 75, 76, 77 or Verizon 34, 35, 36) or on LMC Media's website, https://lmcmedia.org.

BY ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK Published: October 2, 2025 Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky, the Public Hearing was unanimously opened. Carried Town Administrator Meredith S. Robson reviewed the proposed Cable Franchise Agreement between the Town and Cablevision of Southern Westchester, Inc. (Altice/Optimum). Administrator Robson explained that the prior franchise agreement expired in 2023 and that negotiations for a renewal had been ongoing for approximately two years with assistance from outside counsel. Key changes to the proposed agreement include a broader definition of gross revenues for franchise fee calculations, updated provisions regarding franchise transfers, expanded remedies for Town Board October 8, 2025 franchise fee recovery, provisions regarding PEG channel service, and the ability to add or relocate Town facilities during the franchise term. Frank Aleva, Senior Director of Government Affairs for Altice, provided an overview of the proposed agreement. Mr. Aleva explained that the Town would continue to receive the maximum franchise fee permitted by law, equal to five percent of gross cable revenues, and that PEG support funding would continue on a per-subscriber basis. Mr. Aleva further clarified that the agreement would not have an impact on existing arrangements that would allow residents throughout the Town and Villages to view local government programming through LMC Media. Eric, a resident of the unincorporated Town, addressed the Board and expressed concerns regarding several provisions of the proposed agreement. Among other comments, Eric questioned the proposed fifteen-year franchise term, noting that shorter franchise terms are more common in the telecommunications industry. The resident also raised questions regarding the calculation of gross revenues, PEG funding levels, assignment provisions, and service restoration requirements following major emergencies or disasters. The Board thanked Eric for his comments and requested that the concerns be submitted in writing for further review by counsel. The Town Board requested that the resident submit his comments in writing and agreed to continue the public hearing to allow further review by counsel. The Town Board agreed to continue the Public Hearing to November 19, 2025, to allow additional review of issues raised during public comment. Moved by Supervisor Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilmember Fiddelman, the Public Hearing was unanimously adjourned to November 19th to allow counsel to consider the information provided. Carried RESIDENT COMMENTS Supervisor Elkind Eney asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Town Board. No one came forward to speak. STAFF COMMENTS/ PRESENTATIONS 1.
