Larchmont board authorizes pavement survey, Flint Park cafe license and commercial sanitation change
Summary
The trustees authorized a pavement‑condition survey contract (approx. $15,000 mobilization with a reduced hosting fee), approved a license with Strata Food for the Flint Park Cafe and allocated $15,000 for equipment, and authorized removing the village business district from the joint sanitation commission effective July 1 unless withdrawn before May 6.
At its April 21 meeting the Village Board authorized several operations and services items intended to improve infrastructure data and village amenities.
Pavement condition survey: Administrator Dacino outlined a pavement‑management vendor proposal that uses cameras and AI to rate streets on a 1–5 scale and provide prioritized cost estimates. He said the vendor’s mobilization minimum is $15,000 but the village secured a reduced hosting fee of $1,500 (the vendor’s normal hosting fee was higher). The board authorized the administrator to execute the agreement; staff expect a report in four to six months to inform road‑work prioritization.
Flint Park cafe license and equipment allocation: After issuing an RFP, interviewing several respondents and conducting a taste test, the board authorized a license agreement with Strata Food to operate the Flint Park Cafe and approved allocating $15,000 from the general fund balance to purchase kitchen equipment that will remain village property. Dacino said the vendor would provide concessions, catering options and help care for the facility.
Commercial sanitation collection for business district: The mayor described longstanding concern that the Larchmont‑Mamaroneck Joint Sanitation Commission still apportions costs by tonnage (a model dating to 1938) rather than stops. The village argued this method overstates the village’s share because its downtown generates significant tonnage with relatively few stops. The board authorized the administrator to execute a commercial sanitation collection agreement to remove the village business district from the joint commission starting July 1 (to phase impacts) unless the authorization is withdrawn prior to May 6. The move is intended to spur further negotiations with the town toward a longer‑term resolution.
What happens next: The administrator will execute the pavement survey contract and cafe license, the treasurer will transfer $15,000 for equipment purchases, and village staff will coordinate transitional arrangements for commercial sanitation collection pending final negotiations.
