Greenburgh work session: ADU notices, Showmobile discount denied, crosswalk safety and other local business
Summary
The board set a tentative date for the Driscoll dedication, declined a mid-season Showmobile discount request for NAMI, directed staff to run ADU mailings and outreach, asked for clearer agenda language for a youth program, and moved into executive session on personnel and litigation.
The Greenburgh Town Board covered a range of routine local items at its March 11 work session after the flag-raising.
Schedule: The board tentatively set the Driscoll dedication at Hartsdale Train Station for Wednesday, April 16 at 5:30 p.m., with final confirmation to follow at the next meeting.
Showmobile and nonprofit discount: Staff explained the county Showmobile (a mobile stage) is rented to municipalities and nonprofits and that the current fee is about $1,200. NAMI had requested a discounted rate; staff and board members cautioned against granting a mid-season, one-off discount because it would create precedent and complicate existing reservations. The board agreed not to change pricing this year and to revisit any nonprofit discount policy for the following season.
Accessory dwelling units (ADU) outreach: Planning staff said they will coordinate targeted mailings for single-family residential zones ahead of the March 18 ADU work session and follow-up public hearing; board members asked outreach to clearly delineate the three ADU types so residents understand differences, and staff agreed to send a sample mailer for review.
Public safety: Supervisor Paul Feiner raised concerns about a missing crosswalk on Old Tarrytown Road near the Bronx River Parkway and requested staff follow up; staff and a county representative said they will investigate and report back.
Library event and youth program wording: Town staff announced a Women’s Month event at the Greenburgh Public Library on March 30 and board members asked for clearer agenda language describing Operation Crossroads as a youth-development/summer program so the public understands the purpose without reading attachments.
Executive session: Supervisor Feiner moved to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters involving particular individuals and to seek legal advice regarding pending and proposed litigation; the motion was seconded and a voice "Aye" is recorded in the transcript. The working session then recessed into executive session; no further public action or vote tallies were recorded in the transcript.
No formal budget allocations or final policy decisions were recorded on these items at the work session; members asked staff for follow-up materials and clearer written proposals where requested.
