Elmsford board approves routine resolutions, schedules public hearing on residency rule

The Village Board of Elmsford voted on a series of routine measures and set a public hearing for Dec. 8, 2025 on a proposed amendment to residency requirements in the village code.

The board approved the minutes of the previous meeting and a resolution authorizing payment of claims. Members also approved a plan change to replace grass with Bluestone rock at 42 8th Street and took formal votes on multiple contract renewals and administratively initiated resolutions.

A resolution described in the agenda as approval of the “South UWI program” and a separate resolution to authorize the village to submit a funding application were both approved by roll call. The board also approved a motion described in the record as tenant reimbursement for the village of Swaddigan. One administrator-led resolution was approved with a roll call that recorded Trustee Coffey as voting "No" while other votes were recorded as "Aye." The board moved and approved a plumbing-related agreement and a renewal of an existing contract noted in the record.

The board voted to set a public hearing on Dec. 8, 2025, to consider a local law amending section 73 of the village code regarding residency requirements; the motion to schedule the hearing was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.

What happened next: the board continued to committee reports and community announcements after the votes concluded.

Quotes from the meeting: the roll-call confirmations in support of motions were recorded in the transcript; for example, when the minutes were approved multiple members answered, "Aye."
