Mamaroneck trustees complete organizational meeting; adopt policies and fill boards and commissions
Summary
At its Dec. 1, 2025 annual organizational meeting the Village of Mamaroneck Board of Trustees adopted procurement and investment policies, authorized bond and legal counsel, approved $500,000 in crime and fidelity coverage, and reappointed or named members to multiple boards and committees for 2026.
The Board of Trustees for the Village of Mamaroneck met for its annual organizational meeting on Dec. 1, 2025, adopting routine governance and administrative measures and making multiple appointments to boards and committees. The board approved procurement and credit-card policies, reaffirmed its investment policy, authorized legal and bond counsel, and set the board’s 2026 meeting schedule.
Several appointments and reappointments were approved by voice vote. The board authorized a $500,000 crime and fidelity bond covering village employees and designated JPMorgan Chase Bank and Webster Bank NA as official depositories for village funds. The treasurer was authorized to retain bond counsel as listed in the record, and the board reappointed a village prosecutor firm and named Kevin Stout (McCullough, Goldberger and Stout, as transcribed) special counsel for land use boards.
The trustees also set the 2026 meeting cadence, designating the second and fourth Mondays of each month as regular work-session and legislative meeting nights, with specific start times and a stated meeting location at 169 Mount Pleasant Avenue. The board designated the Journal News as the village’s official newspaper for legal notices.
The meeting included the reappointment and appointment of numerous board and commission members across the Board of Appeals, Board of Architectural Review, ethics board, traffic commission, budget committee, environment committee, arts council, flood mitigation committee, Harbor and Coastal Zone Management Commission, parks and recreation commission, tree committee, and an ad hoc year-round recreation committee. Examples recorded in the transcript include the reappointment of David Neufeld to the Board of Appeals and the reappointment of Larry Cohen as chair of the Board of Architectural Review; full appointment lists and term lengths were read into the record and approved by the board.
During oath-taking near the start of the meeting, a speaker recited an oath and stated, "I, Sharon Forrest," while another attendee recited, "I, Nora Lucas," during the group oath. The transcript contains inconsistent name spellings and references (for example, both "Sharon Forrest" and "Mayor Torres" appear in different parts of the record). The minutes and motions approved during the meeting authorize positions (mayor, deputy mayor, treasurer, clerk) as signatories and committee liaisons; where the transcript gives inconsistent name spellings the board authorized the positions rather than relying on the record’s variant spellings.
The board voted to adjourn at the conclusion of the organization agenda. No contested votes or recorded roll-call tallies with member-by-member votes are contained in the transcript; approvals are recorded as voice votes ("Aye").
