Top issues during term (20)
Whitmore Estates subdivision of former Windward School property
No direct city cost identified; the developer would dedicate the new road and utilities to the city if accepted.
Ebersol Rink capital improvements and sponsorship legislation
The program brings outside funding to support the rink.
Water Street Connector
Lease terms not detailed in the agenda.
1 Water Street site plan amendment
Adora Row mixed-use project extension
Disabled veterans tax exemption
Could reduce property tax revenue slightly, but only for qualifying disabled veteran homeowners.
Brookfield Commons Phase 3 extension
About $8 million in County infrastructure funding flows to the city for the project.
Residential street parking and traffic safety requests
Minimal — a sign change extending an existing restriction.
Fire Station 2 feasibility study cost
The study costs $400,000, drawn from the city's fund balance — the real price tag comes when a build option is picked.
YWCA resident conditions at 69 North Broadway
Library Parking Structure Rehabilitation funding increase
An additional $3.5 million requested now, with millions more expected for Phase 2 and other garages.
Smoking in White Plains parks
Pedestrian and child passenger safety grants
$35,000 in state grant funding, no local cost.

Higher taxi fares for riders; lower fees for medallion owners.
275 Main Street redevelopment
Property tax assessment refunds
About $115,000 in refunds from the general fund.
Proposed Buddhist temple at 1 Sycamore Lane
Rodent activity on Martine Avenue
Bus stop sidewalk accessibility
Sidewalk connections at dozens of stops would require public works spending, unquantified so far.
Parking lot at 322 Central Avenue
