Public Meetings - Larchmont, New York

The Larchmont Village Board met in the evening on October 19, 2026. Trustee Fennelli was absent; the village attorney and village administrator attended. The board heard department reports, approved a series of special agenda items and bill lists, and received public comment on two major local issues: the New York State DOT road diet proposal for Boston Post Road and environmental contamination at Flint Park. Consent Calendar - Approved the special meeting minutes of September 18, 2025. - Approved the bill list from July 24, 2026 through October 1, 2026 totaling $1,599,597.46, and a second bill list identified as job ID 444 totaling $251,001.33. The board highlighted that a new police vehicle on the bill list was a hybrid, consistent with the village's green fleet goals. - Noted prior work-session actions from September 28, 2026: amendment to the fringe benefit policy for non-union employees and elected officials, promotion of Sergeant Michael Dusset to police lieutenant, and an exception to the bench donation policy. A separate bill list approval was also noted as from October 5, 2023, as stated in the transcription. Public Comments & Testimony - Julie Hecker, co-owner of Sherwood's Restaurant, read a letter into the record formally opposing the NYS DOT road diet/complete streets plan for Boston Post Road. She cited concerns about concrete medians, loss of curbside parking, delivery trucks blocking single-lane traffic, and bike lanes on a busy commercial corridor. She said the plan could force Sherwood's to move to a more business-friendly town, noted about a dozen empty storefronts already in the area, and urged the board to advocate on behalf of local businesses to the NYS DOT. - Kristen Anderson, a concerned resident, said the village ignored applicable environmental laws during construction at Flint Park, which sits on a documented incinerator-ash landfill. She described public health risks, likely project cost overruns, and asked the village to conduct park-wide soil testing, inform residents, especially parents, about potential exposure, and take a more open approach. - John, a community member, asked the board for transparency. He cited site history, shallow soil testing showing elevated lead, carcinogenic PAHs, chromium, mercury, semi-volatile organic compounds, and all 18 samples with toxicity. He said the project should have triggered additional permitting and a Type I environmental review, and he referenced an August DEC Notice of Violation. He requested work-session minutes, FOIL compliance, community workshops, and involvement of the environmental committee and coastal zone commission. - Michael, a community member, thanked village staff for responding to hazardous leaf piles after a complaint the prior year. He discussed leaf collection procedures, mentioned that nearby Mamaroneck moved its leaf window to November 2, and urged the board to harmonize leaf collection rules for safety. Discussion Items - Mayor's report: announced a $4.8 million Transportation Alternatives Program grant from Governor Hochul's office, with a $1.2 million village match, totaling $6 million for safety infrastructure improvements on Chatsworth Avenue, Larchmont Avenue, and Vanderberg Avenue. She credited the prior board, AKRF, the Safe Routes to School Committee, and village staff. She also reminded residents about the November 3 general election, early voting starting October 24, the 23rd annual Arts Festival with over 60 artists, the October 24 Ragamuffin Parade, and the November 15 emergency preparedness webinar with free emergency go bags for registered attendees. - Village administrator report: said the affected Flint Park area has been secured and posted with signage, and the village is working with New York State DEC on mitigation, remediation, and monitoring. Police Chief Paprota retired effective October 16, 2026; Lieutenant Dan Callipai is overseeing the department while the village conducts a search for a new chief. - Police chief report: oversaw the swearing-in of Lieutenant Michael Dusset, a 21-year Larchmont PD veteran with 27 years of total police service. He reported assisting MTA PD on October 16 with an arrest of a suspect who allegedly set a small fire at the Larchmont train platform. He also discussed seasonal property crime prevention, the dark-house property check program, the 50th anniversary memorial for Patrolman Arthur DeMati, who was killed on October 12, 1976, Coffee with a Cop, and library storytime. - Fire chief report: described an October 9 response to an electrical fire in a bathroom, fire prevention week education focused on safe charging of lithium-ion batteries, and a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant covering 95% of the cost, just over $60,000, to replace the fire department's vehicle exhaust system. He urged residents to check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and congratulated Lieutenant John Adams and Firefighter Jordan Bogart on completing marathons. - Trustee reports: no items were reported. Key Outcomes - Unanimously scheduled a public hearing on a proposed local law to amend Chapter 245 of the Village Code relating to streets and sidewalks; the hearing date was not stated. - Unanimously approved the SCADA application upgrade for the water department, covering both hardware and software. - Unanimously authorized the purchase and installation of a new vehicle exhaust system for the fire department. - Unanimously appointed Julia Davis as deputy village clerk. - Unanimously amended the paddle tennis permit and league fees schedule. - Unanimously authorized the village administrator to extend the Westchester Joint Waterworks water purchase contract for one year on a form acceptable to the village attorney. - Noted that a rescheduled special work session on capital planning will be publicly noticed, with the Flint Park Conservancy invited. - Adjourned the meeting after the above actions.

This summary is based on the raw transcript; no agenda or minutes were provided. The meeting included a public hearing and unanimous passage of a revised tree-work notice law, department reports, Flint Park Day Camp results, board appointments, contract approvals, and public comments on a DEC stop-work order at Flint Park and fall leaf-pile collection. Consent Calendar / Prior Approvals - The board acknowledged prior work-session approvals from August 17, 2026: an amendment to EV charger rules and fees, and approval of regular minutes from April 27, May 18, June 22, and July 27, 2026. - The board acknowledged prior work-session approvals from September 14, 2026: appointment of the deputy village treasurer, scheduling of the tree-law public hearing, sponsorship for the Larchmont Day Fall Festival, authorization of an MOU with the Larchmont Professional Firefighters Association regarding seniority, and authorization to apply for a Justice Court assistance grant to digitize court records. - The board approved the September 14, 2026 work session minutes by voice vote. Public Comments & Testimony - Public hearing on tree-work notice law: A resident who gave only his first name, John, questioned whether the board would vote immediately after the hearing, saying public comment should be able to influence legislation rather than be a procedural box. He agreed that quick action is desirable for genuine hazards but raised five concerns: (1) the new 10-day and emergency provisions may conflict with the prior 30-day provision in Section 263-17; (2) written notice should identify the specific hazard or obstruction and corrective action, and the law should define qualifying hazards more clearly; (3) the authority deciding expedited or emergency action should be specified and documented; (4) homeowners should get itemized costs and an appeals process for unreasonable charges; and (5) 10 days is too short and 14 days would be more reasonable because people may be on vacation. He said these changes would improve clarity, accountability, and fairness. - Tree-law board response: Trustee Jim, the Parks and Trees liaison, said he and staff had spent significant time reviewing the law, compared other municipalities' tree laws, and limited the shortened 10-day notice to hazard and obstruction situations. The village attorney noted that 30 days remains the default except for specified safety hazards and imminent threats. The board then voted unanimously to pass the law. - Flint Park DEC stop-work order: A resident named Kristen said the community had not been adequately informed about the DEC notice of violation for Flint Park Fields A and B. She said the former incinerator landfill cap may have been cracked during excavation, construction started without a DEC permit, toxic soil had been brought to the surface, lead levels measured 600 parts per million compared with New York State's 400 ppm allowance, the EPA's 200 ppm allowance, and California's 80 ppm allowance, and the project is three and a half acres and over $3 million. She urged the board to explain cap replacement, revised construction plans, costs, and schedule, and to hold a public hearing. Trustee Jim responded that the village is in daily contact with DEC, that a cleaner cap was planned from the start, and that some issues are permitting-related, but the matter is being rigorously addressed. - Live-music venue concern: An unnamed resident, speaking as a parent and resident, said his nephew's bedroom is next to a live music venue, a child cannot file a complaint or measure decibels, and the testing requested of the family is not an abstract matter. He said he was not looking to hurt anyone's business but asked the board to see the issue from the child's perspective. - Zoning code comment: Helen Motch of Minster Motch, PLLC, representing Jules Savecchio and family, said the zoning code permits private events with amplified music at a dining and entertainment establishment, but amplified music events advertised on social media are not private events and therefore are not a permitted use. She asked the board not to ignore the plain meaning of the zoning code. - Leaf pile collection: Michael Godfrey of 16 Ocean asked about fall leaf-pile policies, expressed strong support for shrinking the collection window from November 1 to November 15, and raised concerns about leaves covering drains and causing flooding. He also asked for leaf piles to be moved farther up to the Monroe exit to preserve two travel lanes. A trustee responded that the DPW general foreman was not comfortable making a decision this early because it is a wet year and leaf density is unknown, but a mid-November decision may be possible. Michael said he would follow up about the sanitation commission's organics pickup ending October 31 and noted the commission is meeting Wednesday at 3 p.m. Discussion Items - Mayor's announcements: The mayor announced Larchmont's bronze certification in the Climate Smart Community Program, saying the program requires 300 points and the village is already at 194 points from the work completed. She thanked volunteers, especially Mark Manley, for managing the library roof solar panel project, noted that a public dashboard link is in the newsletter, and said data had been sent to Representative Latimer's office, which is working with Senator Schumer's office. She also reminded residents that the Route 1 survey closes on Wednesday and will help the board draft comments to the Department of Transportation. - Police report: The police chief reported that in the early morning hours of August 19, 2026, over 17 vehicles were entered and rummaged through; no vehicles were reported stolen. Residents were urged to lock cars and doors and remove valuables. He announced two part-time park rangers, Tony Dedovanovic and Brian O'Connor, and two new crossing guards, Kate Long and Gabby Cruz. Department events included participation in Paulie's Push on September 8, 2026, a senior scam-prevention presentation on September 17, 2026, and National Coffee with a Cop Day on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Stan's Cafe. - Fire report: The fire chief reported a September 5, 2026 fire at a residential property in the Manor caused by sunlight concentrated through a glass object onto paper-based materials; he said this was the third such incident in his tenure. Earlier on the meeting day at about 2:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a vehicle striking a building; the wall was load-bearing and unstable, and approximately 20 firefighters worked over three hours to shore it, with specialized assistance requested from Newark. Utilities were secured and the affected area was posted unsafe for occupancy. Since the last meeting, the department handled more than 150 calls, including a lithium-ion battery fire involving a cell phone, a porch grill fire, marine responses on Long Island Sound, and a carbon monoxide alarm linked to a malfunctioning sump pump. The department also completed annual NFPA hose testing and observed the 25th anniversary of 9/11. - Recreation director's report: Recreation Director Rusty reported on Flint Park Day Camp: 199 campers; net surplus of $103,355; personnel expenses of $147,199, nearly $6,000 under budget; $7,200 in tuition assistance and employee discounts; about $1,400 in processing fees; and $69,718 spent at local businesses, about 77% of spending. New after-camp programming included slime science, performing arts, Minecraft coding, and Lego structures. A snack program baked into registration cost families $8 for the summer and ended the daily ice-cream-truck cash issue; Frozen Fridays featured donated ice cream, with police serving on the last day. He recommended a two-week residents-only enrollment period followed by non-resident applications. He also promoted the expanded Halloween and Ragamuffin event, including a map of business attractions, window painting, a haunted house, and trolleys to Manor Beach; police estimated 1,100 to 1,400 people crossed the intersection at last year's event. - Camper testimony: A young camper, who did not give a last name, said his favorite parts of camp were the pool, snacks, slime, and the playground. - Trustee reports and appointments: Trustee Matthew, as Parks and Trees Committee liaison, moved to appoint Logan Morrow to the committee; the board approved. Trustee Fanella promoted Flint Park permits and upcoming events including the Larchmont Arts Festival on October 17, 2026, from noon to 5 p.m., and Halloween events. Trustee Parray moved to appoint Eric Marks as a Planning Board member and Brad, also called Brett in the transcript, Jureller as a Planning Board alternate; both votes passed. Marks was described as a Larchmont native, former Little League president, retired management consultant with real estate experience; Jureller was described as a real estate professional with local renovation experience and a new-resident perspective. Key Outcomes - Tree-work notice law passed: After the public hearing and discussion, the board voted unanimously to pass the local law reducing the notice period for village-performed tree work in specified safety-hazard or obstruction situations, with immediate action allowed for imminent threats. The default 30-day notice remains for other cases. - Engineering contract extension approved: The board approved a $30,000 increase to the professional services agreement with Catason, also called Canison in the transcript, Engineering for general village engineering needs. - Ragamuffin sponsorship approved: The board accepted an $8,000 sponsorship from Ann Androx Treehouse as lead sponsor for the Ragamuffin parade and Halloween event. - Appointments approved: Logan Morrow to the Parks and Trees Committee; Eric Marks to the Planning Board; Brad/Brett Jureller as Planning Board alternate; all by voice vote. - Minutes and prior approvals acknowledged: September 14, 2026 work session minutes approved; prior work-session approvals were read into the record, including EV charger rules, prior minutes, deputy village treasurer, Fall Festival sponsorship, the firefighters' MOU, and the Justice Court grant application. - Next steps: The board continues daily coordination with DEC on the Flint Park stop-work order and plans to communicate with the community; the leaf-pile collection decision may be revisited around mid-November, with follow-up on sanitation commission pickup changes; the Route 1 survey closes Wednesday to inform a letter to the Department of Transportation.

Mayor Brennan thanked Chester for organizing the concerts. Public Comments - Joanne Grossman (Larchmont Nurseries and Larchmont Construction): Addressed two issues: 1. Parking regulations: Following a 2022 change that made the stretch in front of her business (and Tony's Nursery) eight-hour parking, she said employees of a nearby mechanic shop occupy all spaces daily, harming her business. She noted a sign at the Larchmont entrance stating four-hour parking and requested review. Mayor Brennan said the board will examine the area in light of upcoming state road renovations. 2.

Public Hearings & Testimony - Gasoline service station / convenience store zoning law: The board opened a public hearing on a proposed local law regarding gasoline service stations and convenience stores. No vote was taken because referrals to the Planning Board and Westchester County were still pending; the hearing was adjourned to July 27, 2026. - An attorney from O'Brien Wall, D.C., representing a service-station owner with stations in the village, expressed support for clarifying the code but raised concerns about the proposed law: it may not cover all existing stations in their zoning districts; the word "operate" in the definition could penalize stations that are not currently operating because tanks were removed for regulatory compliance; restrictions on curb cuts and left turns should be handled case-by-case; and convenience-store square footage definitions need clarifying language. He said his client wants to work with the village. - Dean, a Larchmont Planning Board member, said the Planning Board had reviewed the ordinance from a broader developmental perspective and its comments were in a memorandum from Kevin. He noted two gas station/convenience store applications had been submitted to the Planning Board but adjourned for more information, and that gas stations are not currently permitted in the RC district under existing code, which the ordinance does not change. - Village Attorney Jim Stout said the ordinance was drafted by the village's planning consultant to match current code, and that questions about a non-conforming use would start with the building inspector. - Verizon franchise agreement: The board held a public hearing on a five-year cable franchise renewal with Verizon New York Inc.

Public Hearings - Local Law to Amend Entertainment Permits: The board opened a public hearing on a proposed local law to clarify and streamline the process for issuing entertainment permits (formerly known as cabaret licenses). Key speakers included Peter Sherman (owner of locals), who questioned whether the law would affect his special permit for an event space. The board clarified that the entertainment permit is separate and applies only to ancillary entertainment (e.g., background music) for restaurants, not to dedicated event venues. Arthur Washington, a director of the Chamber of Commerce, expressed concerns about vagueness and lack of objective noise standards. The board agreed to add the words "and background" to Section 147-2B to clarify that entertainment must be ancillary and incidental. After discussion, the public hearing was closed, and the law was approved with a typo correction ("principal" misspelled as "principle"). The law does not affect existing permits. Adoption of the 2026-27 Tentative Budget - Administrator's Presentation: Administrator Karstine summarized nine amendments to the tentative budget published March 20. Key changes included: moving $150,000 for road paving from the general fund to the parking fund; using $150,000 from parking fund balance for intersection improvements (matching a Westchester County complete streets grant); reallocating staff salary percentages to the water fund to reflect true costs; and reducing the tax levy increase from 2.23% to 2.11% (below the state tax cap of 2.26%). Water rate increases (proposed at 4.5%) were deferred for future discussion. - Public Comment: Michael Godfrey (16 Ocean Avenue) commended the board for delivering tax cap-compliant budgets for four years, reducing debt, and using parking funds for road paving. He thanked Administrator Karstine and Trustee Post for their work. - Adoption: The public hearing was closed, and the board unanimously adopted the amended tentative budget for fiscal year 2026-27. Key Outcomes - Entertainment Permit Law Adopted: Approved with added clarity that entertainment must be ancillary and background to the principal use; a typo corrected. - Budget Adopted: 2026-27 budget approved with a 2.11% tax levy increase (under the 2.26% cap); water rates unchanged pending further review. - Appointments: - Village Treasurer: Maria Broderick appointed to the unexpired term (through December 2026), promoted from deputy treasurer. - Assistant Building Inspector: Alexander Tanelli appointed, effective mid-May, to bolster the building department. - Incinerator Demolition: Authorized transfer of $800,810 from various accounts to pay the village's 50% share of removing the Maxwell Avenue incinerator, with payment to the Town of Mamaroneck to be authorized separately. - Consent Agenda Approved: Including amendments to village fees, parking permit policies, renewal of Climate Smart Communities Task Force and coordinator, reaffirmation of Green Fleet policy (increased MPG minimum), shade structures policy, and approval of the Chamber of Commerce sidewalk sale dates (May 28-30). - Water Department Upgrades: Authorized purchase of software and hardware upgrades from Neptune Technology Group, funded through the water fund. - Receiver of Taxes: Maria Broderick appointed as receiver of taxes, aligned with her treasurer role. - Village Administrator Employment Agreement: Approved (Trustee Post voted present citing concerns about unfunded retiree health insurance liabilities). Public Comments & Testimony - Sanitation Cost Analysis: Michael Godfrey presented an analysis showing the average single-family home pays about $81.71 per month for sanitation services. He noted a $250,000 difference between taxes collected from commercial properties and the cost of servicing them, but clarified it is a difference, not a discrepancy. The board thanked him. Reports - Police Chief: Reported a major arrest on April 13 involving a 75-year-old resident targeted by a scam; officers executed a controlled handoff and arrested two suspects (37 and 45 years old) for grand larceny.

On April 9, firefighters removed a titanium smart ring from a patient's swollen finger using specialized tools after consulting the manufacturer. Also reported a unique car fire caused by rusted floorboards allowing carpet to contact the exhaust. The chief praised interagency cooperation and ongoing training.

The Village of Larchmont Board of Trustees held its regular meeting on Monday, March 23, 2026, with the full board in attendance along with Administrator Katzine, Assistant Administrator O'Neill, and the village attorney. The agenda included police personnel recognition, the tentative FY 2026-27 budget presentation, public hearings, several resolutions, and public comment concerning a restaurant's special permit. No agenda or minutes were provided; this summary is based solely on the raw transcript. Consent Calendar - The board approved a consent agenda by a single motion covering: an intermunicipal agreement with Westchester County and New York State Police for a traffic/criminal software use and dissemination program; a request to NYS DOT for an exclusive pedestrian signal phase at Route 1/Boston Post Road and Beach Avenue; relocation of a designated accessible handicap parking space on Palmer Avenue; adoption of the New York Local Government Records retention and disposition schedule; appointment of Administrator Katzine as records management officer; authorization to submit a grant application to the NYS Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund; authorization to hire special counsel for Westchester municipalities monitoring the Con Edison rate settlement; and adoption of the FY 2026-27 village-wide schedule of fees and charges. - A professional services agreement with Munistat was pulled from the consent agenda for additional review and was not voted on. - Minutes were approved for the October 20, 2025 and November 17, 2025 regular meetings and for the February 23 and March 9, 2026 work sessions. The mayor stated she was not present for the March 9 work session and did not vote on those minutes. - Trustee Parray reviewed the March 23, 2026 bill list, Job ID 425-139, totaling $607,155.72, and the board approved payment. Public Comments & Testimony - Tony Joffrey, attorney for Locals 10538, requested a copy of a new B Lying Associates report and said the Sound Sense mitigation work has been completed. He asked that a sound test be scheduled as early as that week, stated Locals has spent tens of thousands of dollars on sound testing and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars while operating without events and music, and requested that the board consider renewal of the special permit at the April 6 work session. He argued the venue is one decibel away from the unnoticeable or tolerable range and that previous testing occurred at levels considerably louder than planned events. - Helen Mach, attorney for Jules Delvecchio, commended the board for rejecting Locals' demand to reinstate the permit. She argued that Locals' live band and DJ use is not a permitted dining and entertainment establishment use, citing a first floor of about 600 square feet and 14 seats versus a second floor of over 1,200 square feet and 41 seats, plus standing spectators near apartment bedrooms. She urged the board to consider whether the use should be allowed at all and to revoke the special permit. She also requested at least five business days' notice of testing for Trinity Consultants, copies of all correspondence and reports, and disputed that the testing was complete or based on correct ambient noise and representative conditions. - A resident asked about the proposed entertainment permit law; the board explained it would clarify the existing annual $175 restaurant entertainment license process. Discussion Items - Personnel & Honors: Mayor Bower and Deputy Mayor Finelli presented a retirement proclamation to Lieutenant Ron Nathan/Knudsen after 37 years of village service; the transcript gives conflicting versions of the surname. The police chief recommended and the board approved the promotion of Sergeant Daniel Calapai to police lieutenant and Detective Nicholas Field to sergeant. Officer Emmanuel Aguilar was sworn in as a probationary police officer after graduating from the police academy in January. - FY 2026-27 Tentative Budget Presentation: Administrator Katzine, assisted by Assistant Administrator O'Neill, presented the tentative budget. The process included an internal kickoff on December 9, 2025, department submissions on January 9, 2026, work sessions in January and February, an all-day budget workshop on March 2, and delivery of the tentative budget the prior Friday. Budget drivers included collective bargaining contracts, state-mandated pension costs ($477,000 more for all village operations, mostly in the general fund), interest and economic uncertainty, and future infrastructure decisions. New positions were reduced from a requested 5.5 FTE to 2.5 FTE, including a secretary to the village administrator, conversion of the assistant building inspector from part-time to full-time, and a full-time building department office assistant. Other proposals included a placeholder HR consultant, records and agenda management technology, cybersecurity costs, additional camp counselors, and conversion of the village engineer position to building inspector. The general fund tax levy for current FY 2025-26 is $16,975,915; the proposed FY 2026-27 levy is $17,353,978, an increase of $378,063, or 2.227%. This is $6,105 below the tax cap of 2.263%, so administration recommended authorizing a higher levy as a precaution. The budget also projected $300,000 in mortgage tax, $625,000 in fines and forfeitures, and use of assigned and unassigned fund balance for one-time capital costs. The water fund includes a proposed 4.5% water usage fee increase; major capital needs such as lead line replacement, dam updates, leak detection, and vacuum truck replacement are expected to be borrowed, with debt service reflected in FY 2027-28. Leak detection borrowing could save $350,000 to $600,000. Parking and sewer funds had no significant changes; parking debt service is paid off, and the sewer fund has a modest declining balance. Proposed fee changes included a 5% increase in commuter parking permit fees, residential building permit fees from $18 to $19 per thousand and commercial from $30 to $32 per thousand, and an increase in refundable park event security deposits. The village also announced a Westchester County Complete Streets Program grant with a 50% cost share of $150,000 village and $150,000 county for safety improvements at Monroe/Locust and Palmer/Parkway intersections, plus a $75,000 records management grant application and $251,000-$252,000 in sewer maintenance capital. - Public Hearings & Local Laws: A public hearing was opened and closed on the proposed authorization to exceed the tax cap; no questions were raised. The board adopted the local law authorizing a real property tax levy in excess of General Municipal Law § 3-c as a precaution while the current proposed levy remains under the cap. A public hearing was opened and closed on a proposed local law to regulate conduct in village parks; the board adopted the law to memorialize and standardize park rules. The board scheduled a public hearing for April 27, 2026 on the FY 2026-27 tentative budget, and also scheduled a public hearing for April 27, 2026 on a proposed local law regarding entertainment and entertainment permits for restaurants. - Other Board Actions: The board approved a 60-day extension of the ambient background music trial permit under the same terms and conditions; the current trial expired that day. The board approved the 2026 public space use permit program rules. In-street dining will not be offered this year because, after two accidents where vehicles hit barriers, the barriers were determined not to provide real protection. The sidewalk dining program will be expanded to operate year-round. The Flint Park renovation project was tabled to a future work session. - Reports: The police chief reported no significant police activity, announced Hector Zapata's retirement after 31 years of service, and reported that the department received New York State accreditation on March 5 in Albany, a goal discussed for at least 30 years. About one-third of New York State law enforcement agencies are accredited. The fire chief reported advanced extrication training earlier that day, water rescue standby for the March 8 Polar Plunge, mutual aid to a two-alarm house fire in Pelham Manor on March 20, a Rye house fire response on February 27, and a new SCBA cascade system donated by the Deirdre Jordan Coleman Foundation. He also reminded residents about leaf blower regulations and not blocking sidewalks with yard waste. The annual spring egg hunt is Saturday, March 28, and registration filled within 30 hours. Trustees highlighted upcoming community events: Earth Day celebration and Play It Forward sports equipment swap on April 25; Arbor Day tree planting on April 24; Memorial Day Parade on May 21; Sidewalk Sale May 28-31; Larchmont Palooza music festival on June 6; summer camp June 29 through August 7; and the March 14 Larch Madness basketball event with about 80 players. Key Outcomes - Adopted the tax-cap authorization local law by voice vote. - Adopted the park conduct local law. - Approved the police promotions and the new probationary officer's oath. - Approved the consent agenda, minutes, and bill list. - Approved the 60-day background music permit extension and the 2026 public space use permit rules. - Scheduled April 27, 2026 public hearings for the FY 2026-27 tentative budget and the proposed entertainment permit law. - Tabled the Flint Park renovation project. - Deferred the Munistat professional services agreement for additional review. - No vote was taken on renewal of the Locals special permit; the applicant's attorney asked for a decision at the April 6 work session, while the neighboring property owner's attorney urged revocation.

Police Lieutenant Paprota thanked residents for staying off roadways. Fire Chief Valentine reported on incidents from frozen pipes and electrical fires, and urged residents to clear exterior vents, maintain fire hydrant access, and keep sidewalks clear of ice and snow within 24 hours after snowfall stops. He noted a second, smaller snowstorm forecasted later in the week. - Trustee Reports: Trustee Fennelly announced the “Launch Madness” basketball tournament on March 12 at the Homic Gym from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and thanked retiring officer Ron Knutsen for 37 years of service.

He clarified that the tax cap public hearing is a budget-timing requirement, not a decision to exceed the cap. He also reviewed prior work session approvals, including the recruitment of a new village treasurer after James Kazorla accepted a position in New Rochelle.
