Mount Kisco board agrees to hire consultant for wireless code amendment after split vote
Summary
Trustees voted 3–2 to retain Campanelli & Associates to assist on a wireless code amendment. Two trustees opposed; the board discussed scope and implications prior to the vote.
The Village Board of Mount Kisco on June 17 authorized the Village Manager to execute a retainer agreement with Campanelli & Associates to assist with amendments to the village’s wireless code.
Deputy Mayor Theresa Flora moved to authorize the retainer and Trustee Angie Guerra seconded. The motion passed with Mayor J. Michael Cindrich, Deputy Mayor Flora and Trustee Guerra voting in favor and Trustees Lisa C. Abzun and Karen B. Schleimer voting against the motion. The minutes record a “large discussion” among trustees before the vote but do not quote participants verbatim.
Public comment touched on telecommunications issues. Lou Terlizzi, a resident of Drake Street, referenced Campanelli’s previous work around cell‑tower cases and said residents had concerns about battery storage siting and safety when discussing aggregation and related infrastructure; the minutes do not record a formal response to those remarks.
The board also scheduled a special work session for June 24 to continue related code and zoning discussions. The minutes show the retainer authorization was recorded as an approved motion and provide the roll call votes.
