| The Greenburgh Town Board appreciates comments from residents at its open meetings. Recently, comments have been made that, whether intended or not, were hurtful to other members of the public because the comment perpetuated racial or religious tropes and stereotypes. We believe it is appropriate to remind everyone that bigotry and hate have no place in Greenburgh. As we move forward we will work together to educate each other around this issue. Our goal is to maintain a robust and constructive dialogue. We are confident that this Town can continue to have these dialogues. |

MOMENT OF SILENCE
In memory of Martin Payson, formerly of Edgemont, who provided the Town with Pro Bono Legal Advice and Help
In memory of Gary Cherico, husband of Louise, father of Madeleine. Gary was a lifetime resident of Westchester, a 16 year resident of Greenburgh, who appreciated our Town and the services offered to residents and his family
In memory of the 1,106,783+ individual victims of COVID-19 who have died in the United States, 6,850,594+ deaths worldwide, each leaving family members and friends too soon
In memory of all the lives lost in the Turkey/Syria Earthquake where more than 46,442 people have died, with entire families lost in thousands of collapsed buildings, with countless numbers of injuries, with survivors without shelter, with freezing winter conditions. May they rest in peace.
In memory of the people in Ukraine killed during Russia's year-long invasion and relentless intentional targeted bombing of civilians in apartment buildings, hospitals, train stations, schools and children centers, deliberately targeting utilities used by civilians to leave them without electricity and heat through the brutal winter weather, with mass graves being found after invaded areas have been retaken, all in Russia's effort to destroy Ukraine and its people, who are forced to fight for their land, their freedom, and general democratic principles. May they rest in peace and peace be restored to Ukraine |
