CC Board of Trustees Meeting 06/15/2026
Published: Jun 15, 2026
Dresher and Maleki, LLP Awarded Independent Auditing Services Contract
The board awarded RFP number 2026-03 for independent auditing services to Dresher and Maleki, LLP. Seven bidders were considered, with one deemed non-responsive. Dresher and Maleki, the incumbent firm, was chosen based on an evaluation of realistic anticipated hours of engagement and a thorough scoring process, despite not being the lowest bid in terms of total cost. The firm has a regional office in Harrison, and other bidders were also non-local. The board supported the decision, acknowledging the firm's incumbent status and the thorough evaluation process.
New Handicapped Parking Space Approved for South Main Street to Improve Accessibility
The board held a public hearing to consider adopting a local law to add a handicapped parking space on South Main Street. The proposed location is at the intersection of Boston Post Road and William Street (also referred to as Brody Way), near the senior building. The purpose is to provide better accessibility for individuals needing closer proximity to the ramp, especially given the current situation with an 'illegal crosswalk' that lacks ADA ramps. Board members expressed support for the measure, emphasizing the need for more accessible parking for residents, particularly those at 50 South Main Street. A discussion also arose regarding the 'illegal crosswalk' and the potential hazard it poses, with a board member requesting a letter to the state to address its removal or resolution. The law to add the handicapped parking space was adopted.
Abindroth Park Master Plan Presented, Featuring Enhanced Amenities and Community-Driven Improvements
The board received a presentation on the proposed master plan for Abindroth Park. The plan, developed through extensive community engagement including surveys and public forums, aims to enhance recreational opportunities, improve amenities, and provide a roadmap for future park improvements. Key proposed changes include paving the secondary entrance to improve accessibility, adding a splash pad and enclosed building with restrooms and a kitchen to the pavilion area, reconfiguring the dog park with a flatter surface and agility equipment, upgrading the open field to an artificial turf multi-use field (soccer/baseball) with lighting options, and developing a passive recreation zone in the wooded area with a stone dust trail and nature play features. The plan is designed to be grant-friendly and implementable in phases. Community feedback heavily influenced the proposed designs, with a strong emphasis on preserving existing elements while enhancing usability and accessibility for all ages.
Porchester Approves Budget Amendments for Park Improvements, Firework Display, and Code Review; Tables Teamster Agreement
The board approved several budget amendments and resolutions. Resolution 4 amended the general fund budget by $5,000 for third-party code review for the Westchester Crossing project, with the assurance that this cost would be reimbursed by the builder. Resolutions 5 and 6, totaling $400,000, were budget amendments for playground and Bocce court upgrades at Joseph Curtis Recreation Park, funded by development community benefit funds, not village accounts. Resolution 7 awarded a bid of $623,220 for these improvements to DeRosa Sports Construction Incorporated. Resolution 8, concerning an agreement with Teamsters, was tabled to the July 6th meeting. Resolution 10 authorized an agreement with Fireworks by Giusy Incorporated for the Independence Day celebration, costing $59,500, with contributions from Neary's Bakery and potentially Rye Brook and the Town of Rye, supplemented by village funds.
101 Midland Avenue Rezoned from R2F to CD4 to Align with Commercial Use
The board considered a public hearing for a local law to amend the zoning map for the property at 101 Midland Avenue. The petition requests rezoning from R2F to CD4, aligning the property's zoning with adjacent commercial properties on Midland Avenue. The applicant's intent is to maintain the property's historical and current commercial use. The board reviewed a negative declaration, a draft zoning map, and the local law. Comments from the board members indicated that this rezoning was seen as rectifying a past oversight in the zoning code, ensuring consistency with the property's established commercial nature. The matter was subsequently approved by the board.
