This resolution gives the Board the ability to override the tax cap if it deems necessary. A motion was made by Trustee McGoldrick and seconded by Trustee Morris to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Marty was absent. Resolution Village Of Pelham, NY On A Draft Proposed Local Law On Property Tax Cap Override Be it enacted by the Mayor and Board of the Village of Pelham as follows: A Local Law to override the tax levy limit established in General Municipal Law 3-c Local Law No. 2-2012 Village Of Pelham Section 1. Legislative Intent It is the intent of this Local Law to override the limit on the amount of the real property taxes that may be levied by the Village of Pelham within the Village of Pelham pursuant to General Municipal Law §3-c. It is the determination of the Village of Pelham Board that to meet the dates by which the Fiscal Year 2012-13 budget must by State law be adopted, the Village Board of the Village of Pelham requires the flexibility which this Local Law would provide. Thus, it is in the best interests of the Village of Pelham and its residents, that the within Local Law be enacted. Section 2. Authority 8 Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday April 10, 2012 This Local Law is adopted pursuant to subdivision 5 of General Municipal Law §3-c, which expressly authorizes the Village Board to override the tax cap for the Village of Pelham by the adoption of a local law approved by vote of sixty percent (60%) of the Village Board. Section 3. Tax Levy Limit Override The Village Board of the Village of Pelham, County of Westchester, is hereby authorized to adopt a budget for the Village of Pelham for the Fiscal Year 2012-13 that requires a real property tax levy in excess of the amount otherwise prescribed in General Municipal Law §3- c. Section 4. Severability If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this Local Law or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance, shall be adjudicated by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the reminder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this Local Law or in its application to the person, individual, firm or corporation or circumstance, directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment or order shall be rendered. Section 5. Effective Date This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State. Item #9–Public Hearing on the Village of Pelham Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Mayor Hotchkiss explained the process of the Board’s budget works sessions which take the preliminary budget prepared by the Administrator and further develop it into a Village operating budget for the coming Fiscal Year. He said the preliminary tax levy was 3.938% but through these works sessions had managed to bring it down to 3.774%. The Mayor stated that contributions to the pension increased from last year resulting in a $1.4 million dollar contribution to the pension fund. He added that the Village has also not received the same amount of State Aid that it has traditionally received. 9 Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday April 10, 2012 The Mayor stressed that the goals of this budget were to build up the fund balance and maintain the level of services in the Village. He stated the Board increased the overtime budget for the Police Department, as well as included money for surveillance equipment as a public safety measure. Trustee McGoldrick stated that Pelham is accustomed to a high level of service, which is what makes the Village special. He said he felt that the people of Pelham are not ready to accept drastic cuts in services to stay under this tax cap. He said he did not feel that the Board could have done a better job of putting together a fiscally sound budget facing the present circumstances. Trustee Lewis added that the Village must make an investment in public safety given the recent robberies that have occurred in Pelham. Mayor Hotchkiss stated that this cap is not universal for all municipalities but has to do with the size of their tax base. He said Pelham’s cap would have been 2.3%. He said the Board has done what it can to be strategic, but developing a budget under the tax cap would not have been fiscally responsible. A motion was made by Trustee McGoldrick and seconded by Trustee Lewis to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Marty was absent. Summary is based on the Proposed Budget and amendments to date: The Village’s Fiscal Year runs from June 1 through May 31 every year. By State Law, Village Budgets must be adopted on or before April 30 of every year. Currently, the budget adoption is scheduled for April 24, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. Home Values in Pelham decreased overall by 4.764% Commercial Property Values in Pelham decreased overall by 4.060% The Tax rate has increased by 7.879%for homeowners, and it has increased by 13.574% for commercial properties. The Tax Levy was Proposed at $10,053,949, up from $9,672,996. Initial Proposed Tax Levy Increase was 3.9383%, but with cuts in expenses and small increases in some revenues, the revised tax levy is 10,038,058 and is currently at 3.7740%. 10 Board Of Trustees Meeting Tuesday April 10, 2012 The increase in the Tax Levy, combined with the decrease in home values, is the most true indicator of the tax impact on the homeowner. The reason is that all properties in Pelham Village and Pelham Manor Village, within the Town of Pelham, are maintained at Full Value Assessments, which reflects changes in market values. These values are updated by the Assessor every year. Impact on the Average Homeowner: Average House Value – Using an Average assessment in Pelham of $659,664.00 vs. $691,888.00 for 2011, the average homeowners taxes would increase from $4818.00 to $4,956.00. Tax Rates: Last Year Proposed As Revised 2011-2012 2012-2013 2012-2013 Home: $6.963542 $7.5241 $7.5122 Non-Home: $9.155035 $10.4141 $10.3977 The Board has already held 4 Budget Work Sessions, which have been open to and attended by the Public. Adoption is scheduled for April 24, 2012. Item #10–Resolution to Accept Donations from the Junior League of Pelham for Children’s Adventure Park in Wolfs Lane Park Trustee Morris stated that the Junior League of Pelham wants to be a partner with the Village of Pelham on a project to develop the Children’s Adventure Park portion of the Wolfs Lane Park Plan. Given that the Village also has a state grant to develop the Village Green and Memorial Garden portion. This fund raising initiative will be beneficial for allowing the two projects are adjoining. She said the resolution calls for the Board to endorse the proposal of the Junior League to collaborate on this project. A motion was made by Trustee Lewis and seconded by Trustee Morris to adopt the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, none opposed. Trustee Marty was absent.
