We work closely with the Town Open land foundation. We are lucky to have such a great organization in our Town. In some situations the Town has gone in as a partner on some plots to protect them for a variety of reasons. We have over 1200 acres of public land that can be used for passive recreation.

Partners with the Town Open Land Foundation to protect land and maintain public areas for passive recreation.

Public Safety

To improve Bimodal transportation we have just finished sidewalks from the Purdy's Hamlet over to the train station. This will include, when completed elevators to get residents from the sidewalks to the train platform

Sometimes things take awhile. In 2014 I formed a group called the I684/I84 Consortium to lobby NYMTC and the DOT and Federal legislators for transportation changes to minimize the traffic in our local towns which ruin our quality of life. The study is just finished in time for the Federal $1.2T infrastructure fund. The study includes; bussing, park and rides and other roadway changes to address a number commuting and transportation issues as well as removing cars from the roadway.

EV HARGERS: Our plan was to install 14 EV chargers in our municipality in 2021. However, there is a serious pricing issue with electric companies demand meters which I have raised and have discussed with the DPS personnel responsible for EV charging and NYSE&G CEO Carl Taylor.

Completed sidewalks connecting Purdy's Hamlet to the train station and planned elevators to the train platform.

Formed a regional group to seek transportation changes, including bus service, park-and-ride facilities, and roadway improvements.

Planned to install 14 electric-vehicle chargers in North Salem.

Transportation & Infrastructure

UNIFOED SOLAR PERMIT: We passed the Unified Solar permit legislation in April of 2017 allowing for solar energy with just a building permit, no planning board or site plan approvals required.

NY STRETCH BUILDING CODE TOWN LAW: The Town Board has discussed in our July 12th meeting going with the NY STRETCH Building Code for all new buildings and additions in Town. The Town Board is in 100% agreement, the building inspectors are also. We will have a public hearing and will be implementing and have the public law in place by the Fall of 2021 to have all new buildings in Town constructed to be more energy efficient.

That team is working aggressively on solar placement in our Town as well as the GHG status of all of our Town buildings and vehicles among other items. GHG: The Town Board just passed a resolution last week, July 12th 2021, committing to the GHG benchmarking of all of our buildings.

In 2018 I signed contracts to replace all streetlights with LED Streetlights. All of the street lights in our municipality have been replaced with LED. In 2020 we also replaced all of our street post lamps in our Croton Falls Hamlet with LED lights. These two changes have saved us over $10,000 a year in electricity charged and reducing our electrical usage by 100,000 kwh.

As I mentioned, I helped form the Local Development Corporation called the East of Hudson Watershed Corporation for dealing with high phosphorus loading in our local lakes and streams. Our goal is to reduce Phosphorus from entering into our water bodies to reduce algae and seaweed. My Town has exceeded its DEC assigned phosphorus mitigation by 200%. We continue to remove many KG's of phosphorus loading from our watershed to meet the new MS4 requirements.

ROAD SALT: Starting in 2019 North Salem was out in front again with road salt strategies on hoe to reduce its use. The town has invested in Live Edge plows and specialized equipment on our vehicles to meter salt effectively based on road temperature and such. I have also be pushing Basil Seggos and the DEC to come up with a strategy on how to reduce its use.

Passed a unified solar permit allowing solar installations with a building permit instead of planning-board or site-plan approval.

Planned to enact a local law requiring more energy-efficient new buildings and additions.

Said that the Town Board committed to greenhouse-gas benchmarking for all town buildings.

Signed contracts to replace North Salem's streetlights and Croton Falls post lamps with light-emitting diode lighting.

Advocates reducing phosphorus entering local water bodies and said North Salem exceeded its assigned mitigation target.

Implemented road-salt reduction strategies using equipment that meters salt based on road temperature.

2. Energy (p. 5)
As a Town we are committed to Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program with renewable electrical. The Town residences are 100% renewable energy which I spearheaded in 2016. We are in the process of signing up with new contracts this coming November.

I was the only Town in the State supporting the Hudson River Clearwater Sloop LLC (Manna Joe Greene/Seth Davis with be a reference) against Constellation Energy, the PSC and Entergy. My goal is to further renewable energy by removing the ZEC charges for those who are paying for RECs and I have been working with NYSERDA through Sustainable Westchester to see if that is doable. That would allow us to reduce the costs to the CCA program to our constituents.

We continue to be aggressive with recycling in our Town. North Salem was using Single Stream refuse pickup since 2014. In 2017 we won Westchester's award for the highest recycling community in Westchester County with 34% of refuse recycled. We also handle electronic waste disposal in North Salem including paying for the proper disposal of all CRT which have leaded glass passing a $0 charge onto residents. In 2019 I renegotiated our municipal refuse contract to a special dual stream contract in which should maintain our recycling levels and in which our non recycled refuse is not going into a landfill but put into a "energy from refuse" plant run by Wheelabrator in Peekskill NY which generates 1.4 GWatts of electricity in a year from our 2200 tons of refuse
