TOWN OF GREENBURGH TOWN BOARD MEETING

AGENDA
*******************************************************************************************************************************
The COVID-19 Pandemic has created challenges for everyone. We all have a responsibility to slow "community spread" of the virus. Therefore, there will be no public gathering in Town Hall for this meeting. This raises another challenge: how do we hold the public hearings on the agenda remotely? We are going to use the "Zoom" platform. If you want to watch the meeting, you may do so via the Town's Web site or via cable TV as usual as mentioned below. However, if you wish to register to speak at the meeting using Zoom, we have worked out the details. (You may create your own Zoom account if you don't have one for free at https://zoom.us/freesignup/.) Please email PublicHearing@GreenburghNY.com if you want to speak or provide a written comment (up to five minutes) related to a Public Hearing topic. State which hearing(s) in the email. Email PublicComment@GreenburghNY.com if you want to speak or provide written comment (up to three minutes) during Public Comment. If you have a statement you want read, please include the statement with your email. For Zoom participation, we will contact you with further instructions. --Councilman Francis Sheehan (on behalf of the Zoom technical team)

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

ROLL CALL: Town Clerk

MOMENT OF SILENCE
Leonidas “Lee” Mouzakitis, 39, Hartsdale, was a town employee (in the Clerk's Office until he transferred to the Assessor's Office) since he was 19. In 2014, we lost him to New Rochelle, where he served as a Senior Real Property Appraiser. Lee is fondly remembered as a very dedicated, hard-working employee with a great work ethic. His kind, sincere and personable nature resulted in many close friendships which began in Town Hall and lasted until his unexpected passing on April 23, 2020.

In memory of all the fallen police officers who put their lives on the line everyday, and who have served as front line responders throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic. May 5th - 11th was National Police Week in the United States

All the victims of the COVID-19 Pandemic

SUPERVISOR & TOWN COUNCIL REPORTS/ANNOUNCEMENTS

GOOD NEWS...The Town continues (since 2008) to have the highest possible bond rating from Standard & Poors (AAA) and (since 2010) (Aaa) from Moody's. Less than 1% of communities in the nation have this record of financial stability. Recently (09/19/19), Standard & Poors once again reaffirmed the Town's highest rating and on (9/18/19) Moody's reaffirmed the Town's highest rating.
