TOWN BOARD REPORTS
Councilperson Cristin Jacoby gave her report
OF NOTE:
Councilperson Jacoby commented it is so nice for DES to bring the Town so much good news
and praise. She also thanked the DES for all their hard work in keeping the roads safe and clean
during the storm. She also thanked all the African-American heritage for all their contributions
they have made to the Town and the community. She also is looking forward Councilperson
White’s efforts in creating the Town first Juneteenth event in the next few months.
Councilperson Jacoby toured the Westchester Joint Water Works along with Claudia Vahey,
Councilperson Creighton and White, and Matthew Geho who works there and showed us how
much work goes into supplying clean drinking. She is very grateful for the employees of Joint
Water Works for all that they do.
Councilperson Joyce White gave her report
OF NOTE:
Councilperson White acknowledged Resolution Number 72-26, “Authorize Department Of
Technical Services To Solicit Proposals For TE 2026.05 Sprout Brook Park Bridge Evaluation”,
this bridge has been deemed as unsafe and in need of repair. Councilperson Mayes and I
participated in a Park and Facilities analysis which identified this specific bridge requiring
restoration so I am happy to see this occurring. She stated County Legislator, Emiljana Ulaj, will
be providing an update for the Peekskill Briarcliff Trail Restoration which she will provide to the
Town. She stated she will be attending the New York New Jersey Trail Conference in March so
she will come back with updates from that as well. The Town will be hosting the first Juneteenth
celebration this year. The town is looking for members to serve on the Juneteenth Committee, so
if you are interested in joining please come forward by February 13th, 2026. She also
acknowledge Black History month which allows us to honor the brilliance, leadership, and
legacy, that has shaped our communities.
Councilperson Robert Mayes gave his report
OF NOTE:

Councilperson Mayes thanked the Department of Environmental Services for an amazing job on
the cleaning up the roads from the last snow storm. He acknowledged the crews not only works
during the snow but they are out prepping before and then after the storm for cleanup. He also
reminded residents to keep their cars off the street so the plows can get through to clean the
roads.
Supervisor Becker shared a story of a 14-year-old girl who required immediate medical attention
and her mother who is a nurse drove her to Hudson Valley Hospital where they quickly assessed
her and decided she needed to go to Westchester Medical Center. The roads were too terrible to
drive through so the Cortlandt Paramedics sprung into action by calling the Department of
Transportation to send a plow in which the ambulance then followed the plow to get the child
safely to Westchester Medical Center. The child is doing well and home recovering.
Councilperson Mayes thanked Supervisor Becker for sharing this story and commented this is
exact reason why it is important to clear the road for emergencies first for the first responders.
Councilperson James Creighton gave his report
OF NOTE:
Councilperson Creighton spoke about the upcoming Eagle fest and how he is excited to attend.
He also spoke about Black History Month and it is a time not only to honor Black heroes but a
time to emphasize commitment to equality, dignity, and justice.

HEARING OF CITIZENS – AGENDA ITEMS ONLY
Warren Smith of 209 9th Street in Verplank asked questions about Resolution 66-25 and 67-25,
he questioned what the bus would be used for and the busing service.
Supervisor Becker answered the 24-passenger bus is a used bus that will be used for the senior
center as the current bus company the Town uses is no longer offering the service. The bus
allows the seniors of the community to get to places like ShopRite, Kohl’s, and doctor visits, etc.
The other items referenced by Mr. Warren Smith is a coach bus which takes the campers from
camp to the youth center after field trips and etc.
Warren Smith also asked about the Broadway Overlook Improvements and asked what
renovations will be completed.
Supervisor Becker answered it is the waterfront area by the flagpole which has not been fixed in
about 20 years so the Town would like to have it fixed for the 250th anniversary, which the Town
is using grant money to do this.
Michael Preziosi commented the overlook, the flagpole, and the memorials that are down there
need some updating. The drainage and asphalt infrastructure need to be levelled out and it will be
replaced with new drainage and sidewalk.
Warren Smith also asked Resolution Number 71-26, Solar Canopies at Various Town Sites.
Supervisor Becker answered these solar canopies would be installed by Roa Hook where the
Sanitation vehicles are parked. The weather is harsh by the river so maybe having solar canopies
to cover the area will prolong the life of the vehicles. The Town would like to do it at no or
minimal cost, it will help generate electricity and the Town Board is also looking to have them
installed at the garages in Verplanck as well.

Councilperson Mayes also commented there are a lot of positives as the Supervisor pointed out
but there are a lot of unknowns which is why the Town is going out and assessing the situation to
make sure that when the Town does move forward with it, its going to be the right thing to do for
the community.
Warren Smith commented the low-cost roofing but he thought it would be better to have one
place where all of the DES vehicles and offices can he housed together. Then the areas where
they are now can be turned into more of a Town square. Supervisor Becker answered it would be
great but the cost of having a central location is about forty million dollars.
Warren Smith commented about Resolution 74-26, Sale of Portion of SBL 55.9-2-1.1 to a Self-
Storage Facility, he asked where exactly it is located. Supervisor Becker answered it is by the
youth center by Memorial Drive. The Planning Board felt it was less invasive to the community
to bring in traffic in off Memorial Drive and less impactful for tress and wetlands that are there.

Jacoby, with all voting AYE.
Supervisor Becker commented on Lafayette Avenue during the installation of the new sewer
there were old corrugated drainage pipes that collapsed and since it is already opened the Town
will do some scoping the see what pipes need to be repaired. The Sprout Brook Bridge is in
terrible shape and the Town is not sure if it can be repaired or needs to be replaced. It provides
access to the ball fields so it is important to fix.

Town Clerk, Laroue Shatzkin, commented the Governor’s draft budget indicated that
Westchester County may get full funding for UPK ahead of the rest of the state which would
greatly impact the school districts in the Town of Cortlandt. It would greatly benefited for all
families. This is government at work and the many different levels of government coming
together to function such as the little girl and the snow plow.

REPORTS FROM STANDING & SPECIAL COMMITTEES
SECOND HEARING OF CITIZENS
Warren Smith commented the snow plowing was excellent and he saw the snow plows up at 4:00
A.M starting to dig up and get the salt loaded into the trucks. He commented on Broadway the
snow plow did a good job initially but never came back to get rid of the snow on the sides to help
widen it as Broadway is relatively narrow. He also commented about the street parking in
Verplanck because the snow plow buries the cars and there is nowhere for the cars to go before
hand.
Supervisor Becker and Councilperson Mayes suggested some sort of alternate street parking and
are interested in any input from the community as well to help this situation. The Town Board
will also look into it.
Warren Smith also commented a lot of New Yorkers from the City have moved up here and they
are walkers and would be interested in having some more sidewalks added to the streets
especially by the train station area. He also asked about broadcasting the work sessions to be
more open to the public via zoom.
ADJOURNMENT
The Town Board meeting was closed in memory of Edward Grexa.
With deep sadness, we want to share that on Saturday, February 7, 2026, Mr. Eddie Grexa
passed away peacefully after a long illness.
Edward Robert Grexa passed away at his home in Cortlandt Manor. He was born on December
29, 1936, in the Bronx, New York, to the late Joseph and Caroline Grexa.
Eddie leaves behind a legacy of love and commitment, exemplified by his 66-year marriage to
his beloved wife, Karen-- who also worked for the Town and retired last year.
Together they raised their daughters, Denise and Alisa here in the Town of Cortlandt. Ed loved
his four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, who were his pride and joy. Ed is survived
by his brothers, William and George.
Eddie worked for the Town of Cortlandt—for many years, in Code Enforcement and was also
very involved with the Cortlandt/Regional Veterans Committee. A proud veteran, Ed served his
country with distinction in the United States Army National Guard from 1955 to 1996.

February 10, 2026
Page 9
AND: Eddie was a former commissioner and a 69-year member of the Mohegan Volunteer Fire
Association and was an active member of the Verplanck American Legion Post 1030.
Ed was a man of many interests. If he wasn’t tinkering with his 1951 Willy’s Jeep, he could
often be found with a fishing rod in hand, pondering over military history, or scouting the next
great find at a gun show.
Eddie was known as “Gertz” to his children, grandchildren, and inner circle, he was always
present at countless sporting events where he gave his unwavering support (and occasionally his
dissenting opinions on referee calls) from the sidelines.
Those who knew Ed will remember him as loving, funny, and selfless. His passing leaves a void
in the hearts of those who loved him, yet his memory will continue to inspire. Edward Robert
Grexa will be deeply missed and forever cherished in the stories and memories that will be
passed down through generations.
In lieu of flowers donations to Tunnel to Towers would be appreciated. t2t.org
Councilperson Creighton made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Councilperson
White with all voting AYE.

1. Purpose and Principles
The purpose of this policy is to establish clear and uniform guidelines governing the use of
Town-issued credit cards (Procurement Cards) for the purchase of goods and services on behalf
of the Town of Cortlandt.
Pursuant to New York State General Municipal Law (GML) §104(b), the Town’s Procurement
Policy, and Internal Control Policy, this program is intended to:
• Improve efficiency and streamline the purchasing process for small-dollar items
• Reduce the volume of individual purchase orders and payment vouchers
• Eliminate the need for petty cash accounts at the department level
• Ensure strong internal controls, transparency, and accountability
All credit card expenditures must:
Page 74
• Be reasonable, necessary, and directly benefit the Town
• Comply with GML §103(4), Town Code, and all applicable laws and policies
• Be properly documented, coded, and approved
Town credit cards are a privilege, not a right. Cardholders are expected to exercise sound
judgment, fiscal responsibility, and ethical conduct at all times.
2. Scope and Authority
This policy applies to all departments of the Town of Cortlandt and to any employee authorized
to use a Town-issued credit card.
• The Town Supervisor (or designee) authorizes participation in the program and may approve
exceptions when in the Town’s best interest.
• The Town Comptroller oversees financial compliance and internal controls.
• The Purchasing Department monitors compliance with procurement requirements.
• Department Heads are responsible for supervising cardholders within their departments and
ensuring adherence to this policy.
For purposes of this policy, “Supervisor” shall refer to the elected Town Supervisor or an
authorized designee.
3. Card Issuance and Authorization Procedures
1. Credit cards shall be issued in the name of an authorized employee and will clearly
identify the Town of Cortlandt as the governmental purchaser.
2. Card issuance requires approval by the Supervisor and/or Comptroller.
3. Each cardholder must sign an acknowledgment agreeing to comply with this policy prior
to receiving a card.
4. Cards may only be used by the named cardholder. Sharing of cards or account numbers is
prohibited.
5. Cardholders are responsible for safeguarding the card at all times and preventing
unauthorized use.
6. In the event a card is lost or stolen, the cardholder must immediately notify:
• The Town Comptroller’s Office; and
• The credit card issuer.
4. Authorized Purchases and Spending Limits
All purchases must be for legitimate Town business purposes only.
Page 75
A. Spending Limits
• Credit cards may be used for approved commodities and services costing $1,000 or less, unless
otherwise authorized.
• Purchases exceeding $1,000 must be supported by an approved purchase order in accordance
with the Town’s Procurement Policy.
B. Allowable Purchases
Allowable purchases include routine, operational goods and services necessary for Town
business, provided they comply with procurement requirements and budget appropriations.
C. Compliance with Procurement Law
All purchases must comply with:
• GML §103(4)
• The Town’s Procurement Policy
• The Town’s Internal Control Policy
The credit card does not replace competitive procurement requirements where applicable.
5. Prohibited Uses
The Town maintains a strict policy prohibiting misuse of credit cards. The following are strictly
prohibited:
• Personal purchases of any kind
• Cash advances
• Alcoholic beverages
• Gift cards (unless specifically authorized for official Town programs)
• Travel expenses not approved in accordance with the Travel Policy
• Splitting purchases to circumvent the $1,000 limit
• Any purchase prohibited by law or Town policy
Credit cards will be configured to prohibit cash advances and block inappropriate merchant
category codes inconsistent with Town operations.
6. Documentation and Submission Requirements
To ensure proper internal controls:
• Itemized receipts and supporting documentation must be uploaded into the designated credit
card management system immediately upon completion of the purchase.
• Documentation must clearly describe the business purpose of the expense.
Page 76
• The general ledger account number must be entered to ensure proper financial reporting.
• Cardholders must verify:
• Items listed on receipts are accurate;
• Goods or services were received;
• No sales tax was charged (the Town is tax-exempt).
Missing or incomplete documentation may result in delayed approval, denial of the charge, or
personal reimbursement responsibility.
7. Review and Oversight Process
• Cardholder submits receipts and indicates general ledger account to be charged.
• The Purchasing Department monitors compliance with procurement requirements.
• The Comptroller’s Office reviews transactions for completeness, budget availability, and
adherence to financial policies and internal controls.
• The Town reserves the right to audit credit card transactions at any time.
Card privileges may be suspended or revoked for non-compliance.
8. Other Circumstances and Exceptions
This policy is intended to address common purchasing situations. The Supervisor may authorize
exceptions when:
• The purchase clearly serves the Town’s best interest; and
• The exception is not prohibited by law; and
• Adequate documentation is provided.
All exceptions must be documented in writing.
9. Compliance
Failure to comply with this policy may result in:
• Suspension or revocation of credit card privileges
• Personal reimbursement to the Town
• Disciplinary action, up to and including termination
• Restitution of funds
Page 77
Improper documentation, misuse of funds, or noncompliance may create the appearance of waste
or abuse and will be treated accordingly.
This policy is adopted to promote accountability, transparency, and efficiency in the expenditure
of public funds by the Town of Cortlandt.
Employee Acknowledgment
I acknowledge receipt of the Town of Cortlandt Credit Card Use Policy and agree to comply
with all requirements set forth within.
