Board adopts FY2026–27 budget 4–1 after public hearing; trustee dissent centers on spending priorities
Summary
After public hearings and debate, the Board adopted the FY2026–27 operating budget and related resolutions by a 4–1 roll call vote (Trustee Maria opposed). The board discussed capital timing, a modest net increase over the tentative budget, and several budget transfers and audited-voucher adjustments.
The Village of Mamaroneck Board of Trustees adopted the fiscal-year 2026–27 operating budget and associated resolutions on April 27 by roll call (four in favor, one opposed). Trustee Nora (S2) moved to adopt resolutions A through H; the roll call recorded Trustee Maria (S3) as the lone 'no' vote.
During discussion, staff and trustees said the budget stays below the tax cap. Trustees noted the total appropriation shown during discussion was approximately $50.3 million (speakers cited figures including $50,248,007 and $50,328,000 while reviewing materials); staff said the proposed increase from the tentative budget was roughly $79,300.
Board members also approved three small budget transfers totaling $13,500 to cover over-budget accounts (manager's office equipment, justice court supplies and additional banner/bracket purchases to prepare for Memorial Day) and amended the audited-voucher abstract to remove disputed voucher lines totaling $3,300.20, resulting in a corrected abstract total of $528,853.46.
Trustee Maria said she opposed the budget because of spending priorities and a wish to revisit larger discretionary event and program expenses; other trustees described the budget as professionally prepared and under the cap.
What happens next: The adopted budget and tax warrant will be implemented for FY2026–27; staff said they will return with required contract and implementation details where needed.
