A Productive Year Ahead
Last week was our first village board meeting of 2020. We opened with a presentation to our newest trustees. Trustees Fritsche and Lopez received their police commissioner badges and village lapel pins.
My opening remarks focused on the exciting year ahead, and my hope for this community. If you imagined that I would be taking it easy during this lame duck year of my service as Mayor—let me dispel you of that misconception. There is important work to do. And more than any other time during my tenure in elected office, we have a team of local and appointed officials who are ready and willing to do great things together. I have two asks for the people of Ossining, and I know we are up to the task.

Wednesday Meeting
This week's work session will focus largely on our public works. Village Engineer Paul Fraioli will update us on the plan for an update to the John Paul Rodrigues Operations Center which will include an elevator to improve the facility's accessibility. Water Superintendent Andrew Tiess will join us to discuss recent concerns about the taste and odor of our drinking water. Is there a silver lining to this experience? Have we learned how to prevent this condition from being a concern when we have the new water treatment facility?
