judge.
Town Board
January 14, 2026
Justice Meister remarked that while the judicial role is grounded in laws, rules, and
regulations, it is also rooted in empathy. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that
individuals appearing before the court not only receive justice but feel that they have
received justice. He noted that every person who comes before the court has a problem of
some kind and expressed his ongoing commitment to fairness, compassion, and continual
improvement in the administration of justice. Justice Meister concluded by acknowledging
Judge Brescia who has served as a model of empathy and professionalism and expressed
appreciation for the support of his wife.
SUPERVISOR'S STATE OF THE TOWN REPORT
Good evening, and welcome to the Mamaroneck Town Center. Thank you all for joining us
tonight for the Supervisor's Annual Address, our opportunity to highlight the
accomplishments of 2025 and to share our priorities and goals for the year ahead. Tonight, I
am proud to report that 2025 was a year of meaningful progress for the Town of
Mamaroneck. We advanced major initiatives, moved critical projects into the design phase,
and continued our strong tradition of delivering high-quality, professional municipal services
to our residents. I'd like to highlight some of that work this evening.
Flooding
Flooding remains the most pressing issue facing our community, and addressing it continues
to be one of the Town's highest priorities. In 2024, for the first time, the Town completed a
comprehensive evaluation of our stormwater sewer system—funded entirely through grants
from Westchester County and FEMA. That study identified 13 flood-prone areas across the
Town. The recommended remediation projects carry an estimated total cost of$60 million. In
2025, we made significant progress. We advanced design development for five of the
thirteen priority basins identified in the study. Three mitigation projects are currently being
pursued for grant funding and are expected to be ready for construction in 2026. The
adopted 2026 Town Budget includes additional funding to continue design efforts, and we
remain actively engaged in securing county, state, and federal grants to help offset costs.
Flood mitigation is complex, expensive, and long-term—and we are moving forward,
methodically, deliberately, and responsibly.
Regional Collaboration— LISWIC
We are also involved in efforts to revitalize the Long Island Sound Watershed Intermunicipal
Council, or LISWIC—an organization of fourteen municipalities that had waned over the past
decade. Today, it is once again becoming active and focusing on shared regional priorities,
including flooding, stormwater management, and climate resilience. Through LISWIC,
municipalities will coordinate regional mitigation projects, share data and best practices,
advocate collectively, and pursue funding opportunities at the county, state, and federal
levels. More to come on this important collaboration.
Safety and Infrastructure
Walkability and pedestrian safety remain top priorities for the Town. I am pleased to
announce that the Town was awarded a $176,000 federal "Safe Streets and Roads for All"
grant last week to update enhance and advance our 2022 Safety Action Plan. This effort will
focus on implementing targeted, data-driven safety improvements—including sidewalks, bike
paths, and bike lanes—along five key corridors identified in the 2022 plan: Madison Avenue,
Weaver Street, West Boston Post Road, Palmer Avenue, and Old White Plains Road. These
corridors have experienced pedestrian and bicycle crashes, many involving serious injuries.
Of course we continue to monitor all of our streets for safety issues, and respond swiftly and
appropriately.
Weaver Street Sidewalk
This fall we broke ground on the construction of the Weaver Street Sidewalk, funded partially
by a NYSDOT grant. Once completed, it will enable students, families and visitors to walk
safely between Murray Avenue School, surrounding neighborhoods, and the Reservoir and
Sheldrake Environmental Center—encouraging healthy activity and reducing vehicle use.
Town Board
January 14, 2026
Colonial Avenue Sidewalk
In 2024, the Town received a $1.2 million NYSDOT grant to install an ADA compliant
sidewalk, crosswalks, curbs and drainage infrastructure improvements along Colonial
Avenue by Murray Avenue School. This project will result in improved accessibility, walk-
ability, and general safety. The project is currently in the design phase, with construction
anticipated in 2027. The Town has also completed a comprehensive sidewalk analysis to
evaluate where new sidewalks are needed and where existing sidewalks require repair. The
next anticipated new sidewalk installation will be on Bryson Street. Enhanced Crosswalks
We installed enhanced crosswalks at several key locations in 2025, including one across
North Chatsworth Avenue at New Jefferson Street, complete with flashing signage to
increase pedestrian visibility. In 2026, among other crosswalks we plan to install, we will
install a new enhanced crosswalk on Weaver Street at the Leatherstocking Trail, also
featuring flashing signage. As you can see, the Town is committed to improving
transportation safety. We ask everyone to do their part by driving safely; remember the
safety of our neighbors and children is at stake.
Recreation
Recreation continues to be a cornerstone of life in the Town of Mamaroneck.
In 2025:
• Over 4,000 residents participated in 200 recreation programs
• 488 children attended summer camps
• Pool attendance exceeded 13,500 visits
• Ice rink attendance reached 30,500 visits
• 403 seniors were enrolled in Senior Center programs
In response to community feedback, the Recreation Commission — with the support of the
Town Board— opened the Hommocks Fields on Wednesdays and throughout the winter.
This coincides with our exploration of options to renovate and replace the fields which are
currently in the design phase.
This year also marked the 50th anniversary of the Hommocks Park Ice Rink. For five
decades, it has been a cherished gathering place for generations of residents. The rink
received a facelift courtesy of Benjamin Moore Paints and the New York Rangers, who
donated all materials and labor at no cost to taxpayers. As one of the few municipalities in
the county to operate its own ice rink, we know how special—and how fortunate—we are to
have this jewel in our recreation system.
We are completing renovations at the Senior Center to provide additional and improved
spaces to accommodate more activities.
We are engaged in ongoing discussions about future improvements for the Hommocks
outdoor pool complex.
The Town wants to reimagine recreation and plan for the future. The 2026 budget includes
funding for a comprehensive recreation master plan for all recreation facilities and open
spaces.
Environment
The Town of Mamaroneck continues to be a leader in environmental stewardship. I am
proud to announce that the Town was designated a New York State DEC Climate Smart
Community at the Silver Level, the program's highest certification. Out of more than 1,700
municipalities statewide, the Town ranked sixth overall. The certified communities have
completed and documented a suite of actions that mitigate and adapt to climate change at
the local level. Each action is ascribed a point value. The Town is proud to be a leader
among the certified communities. In 2025, Our Gas Powered Leaf Blower Ban went into
effect-- it is illegal to use -- or to authorize someone else to use -- a gasoline-powered leaf
blower in the unincorporated area of the Town In 2026 we plan to install EV chargers in the
Washington Square area, to be funded 100% with grant money, to, among other things,
enable apartment dwellers there to make the decision to purchase EVs. We were awarded
Town Board
January 14, 2026
$200,000 in NYSERDA Clean Energy Communities grants to install a heat pump HVAC
system in our soon to be constructed Parks Building. The system is expected to deliver long-
term cost savings. We are currently installing a series of energy efficient upgrades to our
Senior Center funded by a $100,000 NYSERDA grant, which will also deliver long term
savings.
Westchester Joint Waterworks (WJWW) Groundbreaking
I was 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. In September, I was joined by elected officials, WJWW 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 that point...it
was a sweet moment.
Finance
2026 Budget
The 2026 Adopted Budget is designed to sustain the Town's high standard of services while
addressing issues such as supply chain disruptions, mandated increases in employee
benefit costs, escalating capital expenses, and aging infrastructure and equipment. The
budget seeks to balance these uncertainties with the need to maintain existing service
levels, invest in critical infrastructure, allocate resources responsibly, and consider long-term
fiscal impacts, all while remaining mindful of the burden on taxpayers.
The 2026 tax levy increase was held to the 2.83% cap.
For residents in the Unincorporated Area with a house with an average assessed value,
Town taxes represent 26% of the total real estate tax bill which increased by only$308.
For the residents of the Villages with a house with an average assessed value, Town taxes
represent just 3% of your total real estate tax bill which increased by only$12.
The Town maintained its AAA Bond Rating which permits us to borrow at the lowest possible
rate, saving taxpayers money.
Residents'Budget Committee
For the first time, the Town Board formed a residents'budget committee. These are people
who are skilled and talented in finance who reside in our community. They brought fresh
perspectives to the budget process. We will continue to work proactively to provide
educational sessions for residents and the budget committee to provide a clearer
understanding of the Town's budget, and we welcome and consider all suggestions.
Fire Department
Our fire department is thriving. We have approximately 72 active volunteer firefighters.
Collectively, they completed 2,000 hours of training in 2025! We took delivery of two new fire
trucks—one replaced a rig that was destroyed during Tropical Storm Ida, and the other
replaced a 19-year-old rig. These investments ensure that our firefighters have the tools they
need to perform their duties safely and effectively. At this time, I'd like to thank all our first
responders -- fire, police, and ambulance -- for their bravery and commitment to protecting
us every day. As Town Supervisor, I am extremely proud to know that our residents receive
the finest emergency service possible, and as a resident of the Town myself, they make me
feel incredibly safe. These are only some of the highlights of what is going on in the Town. I
did not mention anywhere near all the achievements, accomplishments, legislation, events,
and meetings that took place in 2025. The list is exhaustive and exhausting!
Looking Ahead to 2026
In addition to continuing all of our efforts discussed above, in 2026, we also look forward to...
• Commemorating the 250th anniversary of our Nation
Town Board
January 14, 2026
• Marking the 25th anniversary of September 11
• Dedicating a monument to the enslaved people of the Town of Mamaroneck
• Evaluating our Town Logo as a representation of our community
• Continuing to develop the Implementation Plan for our Comprehensive Plan
• Exploring additional housing options across all price ranges to ensure everyone is
accommodated, including providing homes that allow our volunteer emergency responders
to continue living in this community that they serve.
We are proud of what is going on in the Town, and we want you to know all about it; and
there are some things, like emergency notifications, that you need to know. Please go to the
Town Website and press the gold circle "sign up for alerts"to sign up for Town news and
notifications...and my monthly e-newsletter.
And we want to hear from you! Ours is a representative government, so we want to hear
what you're thinking. Call us, write to us, visit us!
We are here. Our doors are always open.
Closing
All of this doesn't just happen. None of this would be possible without our dedicated,
professional, caring staff. They exemplify the highest level of public service. They work
tirelessly under the leadership of our Town Administrator, Meredith Robson, and often go
well above and beyond the call of duty.
We are also blessed with many community-minded residents who volunteer their time and
energy to serve on our many boards, commissions, and our many exceptional not-for-profit
organizations. We are grateful for the talent, skill and caring that they bring to the Town. We
have openings on some of our boards and commissions now. If you are interested in
volunteering, please contact me.
I am also looking forward to continuing to collaborate with our sister villages, the Village of
Larchmont and the Village of Mamaroneck, and the Mamaroneck Union Free School District
on matters of mutual interest. And we are so fortunate to have representatives on the
federal, state and county level who have all been incredibly responsive when the Town
seeks assistance on any number of issues.
Finally, I am proud to be working with my colleagues on the Town Board—Jeffery King,
Robin Nichinsky, and the newest member of the team, Darren Moss. They are committed to
the Town and our residents, and to providing services in the best way possible. They work
tirelessly and diligently, looking to the future, willing to ask the tough questions and to make
the hard decisions when necessary. It is truly a labor of love.
As you can see in this report on the activities of the Town, our Town Board and Town staff
are committed to running the daily operations of the Town with care and quality, and, at the
same time, taking on new challenges, securing outside funds, and improving our services
and facilities to meet the growing needs of our Town. We are committed to continuing our
work with the entire community in 2026 to keep the Town of Mamaroneck moving forward, to
keep our Town the treasure it is, and to serve the residents of our Town with the excellence
in municipal services they deserve. Thank you.

STAFF COMMENTS/ PRESENTATIONS
Town Comptroller Tracy Yogman reminded residents that the second half of school taxes is
due on February 2, 2026. She advised that, due to a change in United States Postal Service
procedures effective December 25, 2025, tax payments are no longer postmarked at the
local post office on the date of mailing unless specifically requested. Instead, postmarks are
applied at a centralized processing facility, which may result in a delay of several days. As a
result, residents were encouraged to mail tax payments earlier than usual to avoid penalties.
Supervisor Elkind Eney suggested additional outreach through email and text notifications,
and Comptroller Yogman confirmed that the Information Technology Department had
already distributed an electronic notice earlier that day.
REPORTS OF THE COUNCIL
Councilmember Jeffery L. King noted that January 15, 2026, would mark what would have
been the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. He encouraged residents to take a moment
during the upcoming holiday weekend to reflect on Dr. King's legacy, his moral leadership,
and the principles he stood for, and to strive to uphold those values within OUR community.

presentation to those present. Supervisor Elkind Eney thanked Mr. Green for attending and
advised that, as this meeting was an organizational meeting, the Town Board would prefer
