The Mamaroneck Town Council approved a few Budget Amendments at its August 13 meeting. Treasurer Tracy Yogman said that there was only one Budget amendment with the Ambulance Corps to level up some of the expense lines needing additional funding, having no effect on the Budget bottom line because interest earnings have exceeded the Budget.  

“The declining interest rate was not as extensive as originally planned, so we are adding a little more interest on the Budget. The major expenses are for Workers Comp (an additional $10,622.57) and insurance,” she said. The changes were approved by Roll Call Vote.

The next item was Consideration of 2025-26 School Tax Warrant.  “Each year the Town collects the Tax Warrant for the Mamaroneck School District and some of the Scarsdale School District.  This year the Mamaroneck Tax Levy increase is 4.9 percent and an additional 6.5 percent for Scarsdale, only 250 parcels of the whole Village.  The Mamaroneck Net Amount to be raised by taxation is $146,443,220.78.

Scarsdale Net Amount to be raised: $7,067,383.96.  Bills will be mailed out the last week of  August. Town website for payment will available on Monday, September 1.  Use Town website for payments rather than your banking software,” Yogman stated. 

Mamaroneck Town Council Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney opened the Board meeting with the July Fire Report.  There were a total of 125 alarms, total personnel responding, 968; total time working, 66 hours and 12 minutes, according to Eney.
