Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney called the May 4 Town Council meeting to order, saying that she attended County Executive Ken Jenkins’ first State of the County Address. “The County Executive outlined the accomplishments of the County as well as his vision for the future.  He declared that Westchester County is grounded in hope, progress and the belief that Westchester remains a beacon of stability, civility and strength in an often-uncertain world,” Eney noted. 

On April 24, the Arbor Day Foundation honored Mamaroneck with “Tree City U.S.A.” status.  A tree was planted in Memorial Park.  “I want to thank Conservation Planner Elizabeth Aitchison and Highway Department Foreman John Barreto,” Eney said.

In other Town Business, a local law proposes reducing the side and rear yard setbacks for central air conditioning to five feet, referred to the Planning Board as required by Town Code Section240-92B.
