Votes at a glance: Mamaroneck board approves fire claims, budget amendments, tax warrants and property-assessment settlement
Summary
At its Aug. 13 work session the Town Board approved certified fire claims ($18,896.83), ambulance-corps budget amendments (no net budget effect), authorized collection of school tax warrants, adopted the 2026 budget calendar, adopted a parking-permit law and approved a property-assessment settlement for 690 Mamaroneck Ave.
The Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck approved several motions at its Aug. 13 work session, including payment of certified fire department claims, limited budget amendments for the ambulance corps, authorization to collect school tax warrants and a settlement reducing assessments on a mixed-use property at 690 Mamaroneck Avenue.
Key votes and outcomes
- Fire claims: The board approved certified claims from the fire department, totaling $18,896.83, with the largest invoice at $4,774.94 for uniforms and equipment.
- Ambulance-corps budget amendment: The board authorized the controller to make budget-line adjustments for the ambulance corps. Tracy said the amendment has “no effect on the budget bottom line” because interest earnings exceeded budgeted amounts.
- School tax warrants: The board authorized the receiver of taxes to collect the 2025–26 Mamaroneck School tax warrant in the amount of $146,443,220.78 and the Scarsdale School tax warrant in the amount of $7,067,383.96; the town will enable online payments on Sept. 1.
- 2026 budget calendar: The board approved the proposed 2026 budget calendar and requested earlier engagement in the calendar process from staff.
- Parking-permit ordinance: The board adopted a new parking-permit law (see separate article). The ordinance includes one-day permits, additional resident permits and a limited number of nonresident permits; staff will implement online sales and monitor availability.
- Assessment settlement for 690 Mamaroneck Ave: The board approved a proposed settlement for the property identified as Section 8, Block 19, Lot 41 (known as Comstock Max 690 LLC). The proposal would reduce the 2021 assessment from $6,685,000 to $6,500,000 and the 2022 assessment to $6,400,000; the 2023–24 assessments would remain unchanged. The transcript records the town’s share of the cost as “approximately $290” but the precise amount was truncated in the meeting record and therefore is not specified; the school district’s portion was estimated at about $6,400, and the Board of Education had already approved the settlement.
What happens next: Staff were directed to carry out the administrative steps tied to each vote — the controller will post budget amendments, the receiver will enable online tax payments, the parking/permits office will implement permit sales and monitoring, and the assessor/controller will finalize settlement paperwork and refunds.
