Village Trustee Mohan – Trustee Mohan is working with the Sustainability Advisory Board to review
the NRI and plans to propose tree legislation based on its recommendations. They are also exploring
how some municipalities adopt the NRI as a guiding document. Materials will be shared before the
next meeting. Trustee Mohan also noted attending a meaningful Veterans Day ceremony.

Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Wednesday, November 12, 2025
Item # 6 - Mayor’s Report
Congratulations to Village Trustee Theresa Mohan on becoming the next Town Supervisor, as well as
all other election winners, and those who ran but did not win. Mayor Mullen praised the positive,
respectful tone of the Town campaigns and expressed appreciation for the community spirit shown
throughout the election.
The Westchester consortium successfully pushed back against Con Edison’s proposed rate hikes,
reducing electric increases from 13.3% to 2.8% and gas increases from 19% to 2%. The agreement
covers 2026-2028 and includes commitments from Con Ed to meet annually with Westchester
municipalities and analyze infrastructure investment to ensure fairness. Mayor Mullen expressed pride
in the effort, noted a press release is coming, and thanked partnering municipalities, including
Pelham Manor and the Town of Pelham.
The Westchester Power renewable energy program, which has been used since 2015, will end this
year after the Public Service Commission rejected Sustainable Westchester’s filings. Mayor Mullen
described the program’s long history of benefits, including discounted renewable energy, stable fixed
rates, and high transparency. PSC rules and decisions, especially after a contract in 2021, made the
program unworkable, leading to the collapse of nearly all community choice aggregation programs
statewide. Ending this program will negatively impact residents who have relied on affordable,
renewable energy.
Item # 7 - Public Comments

and the related supply chain disruptions; and
Whereas, New York State General Municipal Law § 103 authorizes the Village to “piggyback” on
contracts let by the United States, or any agency thereof, or by any state or any other political

Law competitive bidding procedures, and further, that provision was made in the underlying bid
documents enabling municipalities to utilize said bid award thereby eliminating the need for
competitive bidding by the Village; and
Whereas, Sourcewell is a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota (created under Minnesota
State Statues § 113A.21) that offers cooperative procurement solutions to governmental entities,
