Finally, Village Administrative Offices will be closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving, with no garbage or recycling collection on those days, and village-wide recycling will take place tomorrow in Areas A and B. Item # 6 - Mayor’s Report Mayor Mullen agreed that the holiday wreaths look great, and shared that they, along with the parking meters, were funded through the Westchester Downtown Improvement Grant and noted that the wreaths are actually historic, dating back to before the 1975 merger.

He highlighted a busy upcoming holiday weekend with Thanksgiving, followed by the Pelham 10K and Half Marathon and the Chamber’s Winter Wonderland, encouraging residents to get out and support local businesses. He congratulated newly opened business Bonji and announced an upcoming ribbon cutting for Gigi on December 3, noting the continued growth of local shops and restaurants. Mayor Mullen also announced that he will join County Executive Ken Jenkins on December 1 to give an update on downtown improvement grant projects, which will be streamed on the county’s YouTube channel.

She also outlined spring plans for a bioswale and rain garden to manage stormwater and flooding. Finally, she proposed a sundial as a potential art installation, developed with the Pelham Art Center, and requested the Board’s feedback.

Allison also added that the plan includes installing educational signage by mid-2026 to highlight the importance of native plants, shrubs, and green infrastructure like the bioswale, tying all the park improvements together. Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 25, 2025 Non-Recurring Items Item # 8 – Resolution Calling for a Public Hearing on Local Law No. 5 of 2025 to Repeal Chapter 2B of the Pelham Village Code Entitled “Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program” Whereas, the Village of Pelham previously adopted Chapter 2B of the Village Code establishing participation in a Community Choice Aggregation (“CCA”) program known locally as the Community Choice Energy Program and implemented regionally through Sustainable Westchester’s “Westchester Power” program; and; and Whereas, by email dated November 5, 2025, Sustainable Westchester’s Executive Director notified all participating municipalities that, following extensive discussions with New York State officials, consultations with energy suppliers, and analysis of statewide trends, Sustainable Westchester has made the decision to discontinue the Westchester Power program upon the expiration of the current electricity supply contract at the end of November; and Whereas, Sustainable Westchester has further advised that residents and small businesses currently enrolled in Westchester Power will be automatically returned to their default utility supply service (Con Edison or NYSEG) following termination of the program; and Whereas, Sustainable Westchester stated that new State Public Service Commission (“PSC”) outreach and education requirements, while intended to promote transparency, consumer protection, and affordability, have created substantial implementation challenges that prevent the organization from receiving State authorization to launch the next contract and continue the program as planned; and Whereas, Sustainable Westchester also informed municipalities that similar regulatory challenges have impacted all other CCA administrators operating in New York State, with at least one administrator ceasing operations and another significantly scaling back due to the current regulatory environment; and Whereas, Sustainable Westchester has requested that municipalities execute a termination letter from the current electricity supplier, Constellation, in order to facilitate the orderly winding down of the program; and Whereas, with the dissolution of the Westchester Power program, the statutory and operational framework established by Chapter 2B of the Village of Pelham Code no longer aligns with any ongoing or foreseeable CCA program, and it is therefore in the interest of clarity, transparency, and good governance to consider repealing Chapter 2B in its entirety; and Whereas, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham has proposed a local law to repeal Chapter 2B of the Code of the Village of Pelham; and Whereas, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham has determined that the adoption of the local law is a Type II Action and are therefore not subject to the requirements of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham hereby calls for a Public Hearing on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. or soon thereafter on a proposed Village Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 25, 2025 local law to repeal Chapter 2B of the Pelham Village Code.
