Larchmont trustees approve IMAs, employee policy, pocket park license and bill lists

The Village of Larchmont Board of Trustees took several administrative and procedural actions at its Sept. 23 meeting, approving intergovernmental, personnel and procurement items and clearing bill payments.

Administration described a no‑cost intermunicipal agreement (IMA) renewal with the Westchester County Police Training Academy that will extend training access through March 2027; the board authorized the village administrator to execute the agreement.

Trustees also authorized a license agreement with the owner of the Palmer Avenue pocket park (Larchmont Corner LLC) permitting continued village use at no cost if the village carries insurance, maintains the space and vacates within 10 days if the owner needs it.

The board adopted an anti‑harassment policy and complaint procedure written by counsel to be added to the employee handbook, defining protected classes and creating a complaint pathway. The village administrator explained nonunion cost‑of‑living salary adjustments and temporary‑duty stipends to acknowledge staff covering vacancies; stipends will end when positions are filled.

The board set a public hearing for Oct. 21 to consider amending local rules to allow repeatedly flooded single‑family homes to be raised above the FEMA‑mapped floodplain, and noted grant‑funded studies of Fountain Square and Pine Brook that will inform long‑term solutions.

Trustee Pare moved to approve invoices totaling $400,700.72; the board also approved previously paid invoices totaling $246,120.18. The meeting adjourned after approving minutes and bills.
