Top issues during term (20)
Westchester Crossing (United Hospital site) redevelopment approvals
A 20-year tax abatement on the hotel parcel reduces near-term tax revenue but is projected to enable a project that adds jobs, spending, and long-term tax base.
Costco expansion at 1 Westchester Avenue
The IDA will study the PILOT and benefits package for the revised project, with a decision expected over the next few months.
Graduated parking fines local law
Higher or graduated parking fines could bring in more revenue — and cost violators more.
Church expansion parking relief at 35 Traverse Avenue
No direct cost to the village; the church avoids buying 19 parking spaces it says it cannot afford.
Term limits for Mayor and Trustees
Trustees also discussed aligning election cycles to save the roughly $100,000+ cost of standalone mayoral elections.
Outstanding parking ticket collection IMA with Town of Rye
Uncollected parking fines represent lost revenue for the Village.
Residential parking, traffic circulation, and public safety study (RFP 2026-07)
The Village will pay a consulting firm for the study; the cost isn't specified in the RFP excerpt.
Fair Share Mitigation Payment Local Law build-out limit removal
Potential loss of millions in mitigation fees — one recent project alone owes over $3 million.
Restaurant outdoor dining at 179 Rectory Street
Extended outdoor seating seasons could help a 26-year-old restaurant recover business lost since COVID.
D&B Company shipping containers interpretation
E-bike and scooter safety
Response to Rumors About First Responders in Mr. Panella Fatality
Unknown — depends on what other municipalities charge and how often such calls happen.
Comprehensive plan progress
Truck traffic and sidewalk safety at 21 Grace Church Street coffee plant
Delays are costing the business money, and restrictions could raise its operating costs; roughly 29-year employees say their jobs depend on approval.
FY 2026-2027 PCIDA budget
About $3 million in fund balance may be earmarked for long-term PILOT administration costs.
Commercial displacement mitigation study
Consulting costs are not yet set; the RFP has not been posted.
Capitol Theatre marquee message boards
No direct cost to the village; the theatre pays for its own sign installation.
Carpet World multi-storefront signage
Downtown welcome center pop-up proposal
Possible modest monthly contribution to the landlord; funding source not yet decided.
Port & Main job shortfall
Tax breaks worth millions ride on these projects delivering promised jobs; shortfalls could trigger clawbacks.
