Mount Kisco board adopts 2026–27 budget after 4–1 vote
Summary
The Mount Kisco Village Board adopted its Fiscal Year 2026–2027 budget on April 27, 2026, by a 4–1 vote after discussing payment-in-lieu-of-parking, rising health-care costs and the police contract; Deputy Mayor Karen B. Schleimer voted against the measure, saying it would burden residents.
The Mount Kisco Village Board adopted the village’s budget for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 during a special meeting on April 27, 2026, approving the measure on a 4–1 vote after discussion of changes outlined in a memo from the Village Manager.
The vote followed a review of final edits to the proposed budget by Village Manager Edward W. Brancati and board members, during which trustees discussed how a payment-in-lieu-of-parking approach could affect existing businesses and new ones considering the village. Trustees also cited increases in health-care costs and the municipal police contract as primary drivers of the budget adjustments.
Trustee Thomas G. Luzio made the motion to adopt the proposed budget; Trustee Heather Bryant seconded. The roll call vote recorded Mayor J. Michael Cindrich, Trustee Tammy L. Brown, Trustee Heather Bryant and Trustee Thomas G. Luzio as voting in favor and Deputy Mayor Karen B. Schleimer as opposed. The board adopted the budget and the meeting closed at 7:58 p.m.
Deputy Mayor Karen B. Schleimer said she voted against the budget because she believed it would place a burden on village residents. The transcript does not specify dollar amounts, tax-rate changes, or line-item adjustments for the adopted budget; those details were described only as “final changes” in a memo noted by the Village Manager.
No formal amendments or subsequent actions were recorded at the meeting; the transcript lists attendance and the Village Manager’s signature on the meeting record.
