Board approves consent agenda including consent order in Larchmont Realty tax case
Summary
The Mamaroneck Board approved a package of routine resolutions — grants funded by certificate sales, standard workday hour settings, benefit authorizations, the 2025–26 budget planning calendar, piggybacking a transportation contract, several side‑letter agreements with staff unions, and authorization for attorneys to execute a consent order and refunds in a tax certiorari case involving Larchmont Realty LLC.
The Mamaroneck Union Free School District Board of Education approved a set of consent‑agenda resolutions that covered grants, personnel and contract housekeeping and authorized district attorneys to execute a consent order in a tax certiorari case involving Larchmont Realty LLC.
The board voted to accept grants recommended by SEPTA for student support, noting those grants are funded by the student support committee's sale of certificates of appreciation. The board also adopted a standard workday resolution establishing a seven‑hour workday for listed appointed officials and authorized the superintendent to execute employee compensation and benefit statements for the 2024–25 school year.
The board approved the budget planning calendar for the 2025–26 budget development process and consented to piggyback on a home‑to‑school transportation contract with the Ryneck (transcribed) Union Free School District to provide transportation services under the same terms and conditions as that district's contract.
Several side‑letter agreements with the Mamaroneck Teachers Association and the Mamaroneck Federation of School Secretaries were authorized, including agreements concerning non‑athletic extracurricular stipends and a coordinator stipend for graduation coordination, and a side letter concerning health insurance waivers for school secretaries.
On a separate legal item, the board authorized its attorneys (Shaw, Pearlson, May & Lambert LLP) to execute a consent order and judgment in a tax certiorari proceeding captioned RMR Larchmont Realty LLC v. Town of Mamaroneck and the Mamaroneck Union Free School District, and to authorize any refunds required by the consent order. The meeting transcript records a motion, a second and a voice vote; specific vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
What this means: The consent‑agenda items are routine approvals that allow administration to carry out staffing, compensation and contract actions; the consent order will implement a negotiated settlement in a tax certiorari case and may require a refund in accordance with the settlement terms.
The board did not provide a detailed public accounting of dollar amounts for the tax case settlement or individual grant awards during the meeting; the transcript records the motions, seconds and voice approval but does not list numerical tallies or monetary figures. The board moved on to superintendent and committee reports following the approvals.
