Eastchester board approves summer camp facility use, event permits and tax-refund settlements
Summary
The Eastchester Town Board on June 16 approved an intermunicipal agreement to use Waverly and Greenvale schools for Camp Galaxy, granted fireworks and summertime event permits to the Village of Tuckahoe, authorized two certiorari refunds totaling $38,315.11, and approved seasonal personnel and budget transfers.
Eastchester Supervisor Colavita and the town board unanimously approved a package of routine resolutions at their June 16 meeting that clears the way for summer programming and addresses several tax matters.
The board passed a resolution authorizing the Supervisor to execute an intermunicipal agreement with the Eastchester Union Free School District to permit the town’s Camp Galaxy to use Waverly and Greenvale schools for summer 2026. Town Attorney Mr. Rader introduced the agreement; Supervisor Colavita moved the resolution and it was approved on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The board also approved two Village of Tuckahoe event permits for July 11, 2026: a fireworks permit for a display at Parkway Oval and a summertime-event permit covering the same day’s activities at Parkway Oval. Supervisor Colavita said the permit approvals secure required insurance and site access. Both permits passed on unanimous roll-call votes.
Two certiorari settlements were approved. A settlement for GTYNY Leasing Inc., concerning 407 White Plains Road (Section 44, Block 4, Lot 1), covers assessment years 2020–2025 (tax years 2021–2026) and results in a town tax refund of $32,853.06. The board also approved a settlement for Alfredo and Amelia Maiorano for 102 Brook Street (Section 58, Block 5, Lot 20) with a town refund of $5,462.05. Both resolutions were introduced by the law department and approved unanimously.
Other votes included:
- Approval of seasonal and part-time personnel appointments (camp counselors, Lake Isle lifeguards and seasonal 'green shirts'), approved unanimously.
- Closure of three library capital projects with small unexpended balances (reported figures of about $6,900; $8,700; and $0.52) and application of those unused funds to the debt-service reserve for those projects, approved unanimously.
- Miscellaneous budget transfers and revisions presented by the controller, approved by unanimous roll call.
The board also set the schedule for one town-board meeting in July (July 14) and one in August (August 11), both at 7:30 p.m., by unanimous vote.
Votes and roll-call participation were recorded as unanimous 'Aye' for Councilman Giacobbe, Councilwoman Nicholson, Councilwoman Marcotte, Councilman Marcoccia and Supervisor Colavita on the items that went to roll-call. The meeting transcript does not name who seconded each motion where the record reports only 'Second.'
The meeting adjourned after public comment and routine business.
