Garbage will be pushed back and we will send that out to the community. We are asking for everyone’s continued patience with the front entrance. We need another week or so before it is fully ADA compliant and accessible. Please call Village Hall prior to entering the building so we can give proper directions. Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Item # 6 - Mayor’s Report As everyone may know, County Executive George Latimer is now Congressman George Latimer. In his place will be former Deputy County Executive, Ken Jenkins who has been appointed to serve for up to 90 days in George's place as acting county executive. During that time, they scheduled an election to be held to determine who will serve the remainder of George's term, which runs through the end of this year. Please be sure to get out and vote on Tuesday, February 11. Village Trustee Howell, DPW Foreman Bobby Giustino and Mayor Mullen met with the new President of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the DIG Grants. We partnered with them on the application and the Village of Pelham was awarded the grant which comes with $250,000 from the County and 20% match from the Village for anything we do. We are looking to do a number of things from purchasing new reads to possible new parking meters. Another big project is inviting our local businesses to apply for grants for façade upgrades. The Chamber of Commerce will work with us to manage the selection process as people apply. A couple of things to say about NYCOM and WMOA. We put together a legislative program detailing a host of policy changes we'd like to see in the State budget. That program is now available on NYCOM's website for the public to see, on nycom.org. From February 2nd through 4th we'll be joining other officials from New York cities and villages in Albany to both lobby for these changes, and also to share practices with one another. This year Village Trustee Mohan and Village Trustee Solomon are joining as well. Mayor Mullen is also on the Executive Committee for the Westchester Municipal Officials Association, and they also have a legislative agenda. One of the focuses will be housing, thanks largely to the work done by mayors and supervisors here in Westchester, through the WMOA Housing Committee we were able to convince the Governor to adopt an incentives-based approach and the paperwork is in now. First, we would like to see better incentives to the pro-housing communities’ program. Specifically, we would like to see financial awards for core infrastructure given outright to municipalities that hit their growth targets like we have. Second, Mayor Mullen and the Board of Trustees think it's important to streamline the SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act) process, which is very cumbersome. The final item involves housing in Westchester. Mayor Mullen would like to see the way that affordable housing is incentivized as right now, the bulk of tax credits awarded by State for affordable housing are given to developers who build units that are affordable for people making up to 60% of the area median at the local level. Some consequences to that include very few middle- income earners being able to qualify due to the number being so low. So, there is a fear that all the new housing coming onto the market in the region is either so expensive that you have to be very wealthy to get into it, or the eligibility requirements is so severe that most of the middle class is left out. The second issue that we run into is that those who do qualify may be so close to the edge of eligibility that they're only one promotion or pay raise away from losing their home and no longer eligible. Our hearts go out to everyone in California trying to fight and survive the wildfires. We all hope that the winds die down very soon. Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Item # 7 - Public Comments Speeches: Mayor Mullen: “In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to local residents in Asheville, North Carolina, and he emphasized that “we get in the habit of speaking of the Government as if it were something apart from us. [But] the Government is us—we are the Government, you and I. And the Government is going to do well or ill accordingly as we, with sanity, with resolution, with broad charity and sound common sense, make up our minds that the affairs of the government shall be managed.” He spoke those words in response to the growing cynicism that was taking hold throughout the country at the turn of the 20th century. A time that was not all that dissimilar from our own. He believed the antidote to that cynicism was reminding us that in America, our future will never be determined by one person or one party - or in his case, one president. Our future would be determined by us. That’s what makes American Democracy… American Democracy. That is the same idea of American Democracy that made this municipal center - and tonight’s board meeting - possible. Over the last seven years, this project has come together thanks to the hard work done by 2 mayors, 13 trustees, 3 different village administrators, 2 police chiefs, 2 fire chiefs, 2 building inspectors, 2 DPW foremen, 1 village attorney (working with a host of other attorneys), 1 planner (working with a host of other planners), dozens of resident volunteers on the Architectural Review Board, the Planning Board, the Sustainability Advisory Board, the Arts Council, a team of engineers and professional architects, hundreds of local residents weighing in throughout to share what they wanted - and what they didn’t want - in public sessions, in emails, text messages, phone calls, frank asides at the grocery store. And even the lead developer himself is a local resident who didn’t want to miss the opportunity to build a landmark municipal center in his hometown that would be used by future Pelhamites for generations. We did this. Us. You and I. We’re gathered tonight in the almost-exact geographic center of the Village. Almost perfectly equidistant between our borders, north and south. And between our borders, east and west. For the first time in our Village’s history, the Board will do its work in a building that is truly accessible to everyone - in every sense. This meeting hall was designed to be traditional enough to hopefully encourage respectful behavior, but modern enough to be comfortable. We are just neighbors meeting with neighbors, after all. The goal is to use this space in lots of different ways. Tables stored in that closet can come out if we want to use it as a classroom. It’s equipped with a wireless microphone system, programmable lights, high-end speakers in the ceiling, screens and monitors that everyone can see. Even this dais was custom-designed and custom-built with wheels, so it can be removed if we want to host a book reading or performance. And most notably, the large windows in the back were chosen so that from the outside, this room would appear, in the architect’s words, “like a lantern in the night.” Not just to invoke admiration, but to invite participation. Engagement. Welcoming all those who pass by. In the last week, three different organizations have asked me if and when they’ll be able to start using this space. One looking to do an annual community event and fundraiser, another hoping to Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 hold monthly business meetings, another group wants to use the room every Saturday morning to teach English to newly-arrived Albanian Americans. We did not pay for this building. But we’re here tonight because of us. In a building crafted by us. For us. It’s humbling to imagine how this space might be used in the coming decades in a building that is likely to last well into the twenty-second century. The decisions our future neighbors will make here. The challenges they’ll face here. The arguments they’ll have and the speeches they’ll make here. Sometimes angry and passionate, sometimes celebratory and joyous. Some nights, they’ll be tired and frustrated, juggling other responsibilities, trying to clear their mind so they can focus on the work of the evening. And some nights, like tonight, they’ll be full of pride and accomplishment, knowing that they’ve done their very best for a community they love. Whatever they face as the years pass by, may all of our neighbors, those present and those yet to arrive, have a home here - where together, we will ensure that our community does “well or ill accordingly as we, with sanity, with resolution, with broad charity and sound common sense, make up our minds that the affairs of our community shall be managed.” It is January 14th, 2025, just after 8:00pm, and we are meeting for the first time in our new village hall, located at 200 Fifth Avenue. With respect for our history, an unwavering commitment to our future, and a heart full of gratitude and pride, I hereby call to order this Regular Meeting of the Village of Pelham Board of Trustees.” Deputy Mayor Carpenter: “Thank you to everyone who the Mayor mentioned as well as the Mayor himself. On more than one occasion the project nearly died, but time and time again he kept his head when others nearly lost theirs. Because of his vision and leadership, we are here tonight, so thank you. While we take a moment to pause and reflect what we have all achieved, our work is far from done. Flood mitigation efforts are making progress, certain areas in our downtown still need our attention, and we must continue to improve our roads, traffic signals and other basic infrastructure. It is not exciting but they are essential projects that impact our daily lives. Decisions we make here will shape our Village for years to come, and I want to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey. Your hard work, dedication, and vision have made tonight possible. So, let’s celebrate what we have achieved and look ahead with determination, and together we will continue to move Pelham forward. Thank you.” Village Trustee Howell: “Today is a quite memorable day, we are a part of history. I am new to the board, but my family is not new to Pelham. I am third generation, and the reason why we stay here is community. In this new municipal building, we don’t just have the Fire Department, Police Department, and Municipal Services. This is a manifestation of what Pelham looks like, people coming together to build a community space. I can honestly say that I am very grateful to the Board as well as members of the Board that have served before us and brought us to this point. Thank you to Chris, our Village Administrator, who is a juggler and wears many hats. Congratulations to all and I look forward to this space being used in the future.” Village Trustee Mohan: “Welcome everybody to the new Municipal Center, and just to echo what everybody else has said, its really an honor being here and serving on this board. As I look out, I see Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 many other trustees that I’ve served with in the last 20 something years, and it just strikes me that it’s the continuum of service that is inspired by people here, and people who continue to put themselves forward in our community. And hopefully, this new municipal center will inspire service to come and represent the amazing work that this Board, the prior boards have all done, and our village administrator, because I do think without him this could not happen, so thank you.” Village Trustee Solomon: “Good evening, everyone. Community is always really important, I think, to everybody in this group, wherever they serve, whether it's at home, in public life as a teacher or as Mayor. For me personally, it’s important that we come together and talk. While we can agree to disagree on stuff, it’s always important to look at how we move our communities forward and how we build relationships. The biggest thing for me that I look at with this municipal center is that it is just another piece of a quilt that is Pelham. We are standing on the shoulders of everybody that came before us, and all the issue that came before us, and all the issue that will come. And this building, and where we're sitting right now is just another milestone on ladder that's going to keep growing and growing stronger. Thank you all for sharing this moment with us.” Former Mayor Volpe: “Thank you, Mayor Mullen, thank you all for having me. It's an honor to be here. I want to say thank you to Chris. Chris was hired when I was on the board years ago, and without your efforts and chance's efforts over the last few years. This thing wouldn't be here. This is really a big, big moment in the Village of Pelham, in the town of Pelham, and in Pelham at large. The addition of this municipal center is a wonderful addition, not only to this village, but to the entire community. Chance pointed out that it's sort of equidistant from the borders, but this downtown area is really integral to the entire Pelham community. When you read the history, as I brought the book tonight, it talks about Thomas Fenland. Mr. Fenland used to be a neighbor of mine. Mr. Fenland grew up here and lived down the block, believe it or not, and then lived on I believe Corlies and then Loring. When Mr. Fenland passed, the Village was recipient of some trust funds and every year, when there's a planting of some trees, some money has come from the Tom Fenland Tree Fund. Well, this book was written by Tom because Joe Durnan, the mayor of 19-20 years, said to Tom one day, you need to write a book about the Village of Pelham. It covers village issues, and the reason I brought it tonight is I want you all to know what stood here before this Village Hall. Right next door was the Straley Brewing Company, a family in town that actually brewed Spirits here in the Village of Pelham. the Straley family had one of the most successful brewing companies, literally right out there where the fire department is for many years. They eventually moved this house around the corner onto 6th Avenue in and around the time that the Village Fire Department was built across the street approximately 100 years ago. The reason they moved is this was becoming a more vibrant downtown. When when we built the original firehouse across the street after the turn of the century, there was really no strip here. We have needed to revitalize the Downtown for many years. Pete Potocki, Ciro Greco and others will know that when I first moved here, I served on the town board and said, “How are we going to do this? What are we going to do?” And it became apparent to those of us that got involved in government, as some of you said, that there was not enough connectivity. We needed something, and it was only logical to come up with a municipal center. Why? The Police Department was failing in terms of infrastructure, the Village Hall needed to go, and Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 the Fire Department was falling apart. So, when I was the Mayor, I had this crazy idea. The idea was “let’s try to get rid of some municipal land and get a developer”. Patrick thankfully came along to help us help with the community, build a municipal center for this place, this town, this village that could last for another 100 years. Our board went ahead and issued an RFP, and we solicited bids for someone to basically take the old Village Hall, we encapsulated a lot of things in it and said in exchange, “you’re going to have to build a Village Hall again”. Lo and behold, the RFP went out and we literally got 10 responses within 2 weeks. Some of the developers, frankly, were not serious. We had 4 serious bidders; we sat through endless meetings that went on and on forever. People like Chance, Joe Marty, Adam Kagan, Paul McGoldrick, Ariel Spira Cohen, Chris Reid, Andrea Renke, Rick Deer, and of course those who I ran with the first time such as Tim Cassidy, Joe Senerchia and Susan Mutti were all on the Board. Through that process, we had a young man named Patrick Normoyle. You told me your vision and what you wanted to do, and being ever the optimist, I said “sure, go for it.” So eventually Patrick got chosen, and without his vision which became less misguided as it went, and without Chance’s work and Chris’s work, we wouldn’t be here tonight. So, to everyone who's been involved, I must say to you that this is a tremendous accomplishment. But to have this tonight, and for, let's call it 150 years, is a tremendous accomplishment for this community and for everything this community stands for, which is community. I want to thank the people of Pelham 1st of all for supporting this. I’m sure Chance, you’ve put up with lots and lots of complaints. Having sat in your shoes, I commend you for doing it, and it was an honor to serve, and I hope we all together made a difference for years to come. Thank you.” Patrick Normoyle: “As folks know, my name is Patrick Normoyle and I live at 12 Young Avenue with my wife Julie and 3 sons Connor, Kieran, and Cole. I stand here tonight in this beautiful meeting room in this beautiful new Municipal Center first and foremost, as a proud resident of the Village of Pelham. Julie and I chose Pelham as our home way back in 2005, and I cannot tell you how many great memories we have of our wonderful hometown. Like all of you, we love Pelham dearly. I want to first thank the Mayor, Deputy Mayor Carpenter, the Board of Trustees, as well as Mayor Volpe, Deputy Mayor Pete Potocki, and all the past trustees for your vision your leadership and your tireless work over the past few years to make this new Municipal Center reality. As the Mayor was saying before, in too many small towns and villages, other mayors and other board boards are afraid to undertake something this ambitious and grand. So, I want to thank you again for not being afraid to take bold action, because now the residents of Pelham, both current and future ones, will be able to benefit from the great work and great project you create. Secondly, I'm here tonight as very proud member of the development team. I'm also here with Joe Riggs of the Hudson companies. Both the indicated Joe and his team were not around at the beginning. Then something called Covid happened, and we were very, very fortunate. One of my partners, Mark Reed was a partner with the Hudson companies on many, many projects before that, so we were very fortunate to have such a great partner in the Hudson companies and now I think Joe will attest that he, too, loves Pelham just like we do. So again. Thank you to Joe and to the Hudson companies for helping us. I'm here as part of the development team and very happy that we were able to create a wonderful project like this. From very early on I was, of course, hoping that this project would help revitalize this part of the downtown, and that the new municipal center would be a major improvement over what existed before. But I was also hoping that we would be able to create 2 stunning landmarks in our downtown; buildings that we all can be proud. So, I hope tonight that you all share my pride and our pride in what we have been able to create together. Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 I cannot give enough credit to the mayor and the Board, as well as Chris. Your tireless work, your commitment, your dedication over these many years is really exemplary, and it's not present in most communities. So, I know as a village of Pelham Resident that we're lucky to have such great leadership. From the folks who served on the boards before and to the current board, as a village of Pelham Resident, this was and is a dream project for me. For me to be here tonight is really a dream come true, and again I want to thank everybody in the room for this special moment. So again, thank you.” Former Village Trustee Hill-Ries: “First I want to congratulate Mayor Mullen and Chris, you two were and are the most incredible leaders. My kids can attest that every time we drive by this building, I get a little too excited, and so when I got the text from Chance to come tonight, I knew I couldn't miss it. I just know that the hours and hours and days of work that went into this project and with Chance’s unfailing confidence that it was going to come together. How far we've come, and I just wanted to say congratulations. This is really a feat. It's such a gorgeous room, and I can't wait to come back for a tour. I just want to say I’m so proud, it was such a pleasure being on the board with you, and just seeing this has made my year, so congratulations.” State Senator Nathalia Fernandez: “Good evening board. This is really a tremendous moment, and I am so amazed to see the progress and to know and to think of what it takes to identify money, place it in a project, get it moving to see walls come up, to see bricks laid, to see these doors open. It really is such a tremendous feat that I haven't seen, it really is amazing. So, to the board, to everyone involved amazing work and congratulations. This really is another great step in Pelham's amazing history. This is a state-of-the-art facility that has everything you need in one. It can welcome every type of want, need, desire, concern, and it really is just an amazing new chapter for this town and for Westchester County. So, congratulations everyone. This is really something you should be so proud of, and a great staple in the history book.” County Legislator Terry Clements: “So this is really special, congratulations. I started when Mayor Volpe was in, and then you (Mayor Mullen) came in. This is very exciting, because I remember the bank. I remember coming to meetings here, this is state of the art. I have to congratulate you on your hard work, and this is absolutely amazing. I'm so proud to be a part of your community by representing you. This is a very beautiful building. It's so gorgeous and it was a great concept to put everything together like this. A center, a place for the whole community to be. It's very exciting to me. Congratulations on your hard work, everyone, and thank you so much for being wonderful, wonderful people. Thank you.” Former Village Trustee Potocki: “I've lived in this village for 40-some-odd years. There's been 3 projects that I'm proud that we got done; Pelham Middel School, Hutchinson School, and this project. Every one of them came at a price. There was always somebody opposed to the project, but, congratulations to Mike and his board who started the BDFC and to Patrick and the board now for working this out. This is now the pride of Pelham, spectacular, you guys did a great job.” Former Village Trustee Greco: “Congratulations to the existing boards, and what I want to say is, there's so many changes that have happened all of a sudden. You see these green trucks running around town and say, Pelham on the side which was a huge change. Thank you to Chris, who shepherd that through as this was going on. It just came out fantastic, congratulations to everyone, it was a great job.” Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Town Supervisor Dan McLaughlin: “Congratulations to the Board, Chance, and Chris. It’s beautiful, congratulations.” Marilyn Zielinski, 60 First St: Marilyn wanted to express her thanks on behalf of her and others that “aren’t complaining about anything right now”. She expresses gratitude for all that Mayor Mullen is doing out of the kindness and generosity of his heart, and the wisdom to realize how important it is. Thank you for the hope that is being given to her through this. Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Non-Recurring Items Item # 8 – Resolution Authorizing Payment to the City of New Rochelle for Training Expenses for Police Officer Resignation/Reinstatement Pursuant to New York State General Municipal Law § 72-c Whereas, on May 6, 2024, Christian Barreto began employment as a Police Officer for the Village of Pelham; and Whereas, Police Officer Barreto previously worked as a Police Officer for the City of New Rochelle from July 13, 2022 until his appointment in the Village of Pelham; and Whereas, pursuant to New York State General Municipal Law § 72-c, a municipality may assert reimbursement of a pro-rated share of expenses incurred in training a Police Officer; and Whereas, on November 12, 2024, the City of New Rochelle sent a demand for reimbursement of training expenses incurred for Police Officer Barreto and provided a summary of the expenses incurred.
