Development News from the latest meeting
Lewisboro Town Board July 13, 2026
Published: Jul 13, 2026
Town Receives Two Grants from Perma
The town received two grants from Perma. The first is the Lexi Pole grant, which will reimburse 30% of the town's policy manual subscription cost. The second grant is for an ICE alert kit for the highway department, valued at $1,375. The town thanked Carrie Wolf, Chief of Staff, for her work in securing these grants and for building the relationship with Perma.
Dog Training Agreement Approved with Insurance Contingency
The board approved an agreement with Martha Goodman for dog training services at Unch Farm Park. This followed public comment expressing concerns about off-leash dogs in town parks and the associated liability. Martha Goodman, a professional dog trainer with 31 years of experience, explained her training methods, emphasizing individual, step-by-step training that progresses to off-leash work only after rigorous testing. She assured the board that her training sessions do not involve interacting with other park users and that she avoids peak times and large events. Key concerns raised during the discussion included the owner's insurance policy, the town's liability as an additional insured, and the legal changes in New York regarding dog bite lawsuits. The approval was made contingent on the review and acceptance of Ms. Goodman's insurance policy by the town attorney to ensure adequate coverage and protection for the town. The agreement is for one year, with a $500 damage security deposit and a $100 monthly fee for the town.
Leon Levy Foundation Grant Report Highlights Volunteer Efforts
The town board received an annual report from George Scott regarding the Leon Levy Foundation grant for the town's preserves. The report highlighted 1,370 hours of volunteer work on trail maintenance and 84 work sessions, including chainsawing 75 downed trees across trails. Volunteers also recently installed a fence to secure an area with a root hole. The board expressed gratitude for the volunteers' extensive and valuable contributions.
Town Approves Three-Year License for 'Tax My Gov' Communication Platform
The town board approved a license agreement for the "tax my gov" platform, authorizing the controller to sign it. This platform is a communication tool for outbound messages to residents. It has been utilized by the town of Rye with positive feedback. The agreement is for three years at a cost of $7,000 per year. Several department heads reviewed the platform and found it beneficial, with many committing to finding funds in their budgets to cover the cost. The platform allows for targeted communication, including emergency alerts and reporting issues like potholes, and can integrate with future website changes. Some members expressed concerns about the three-year commitment and the potential lack of cancellation options, but the general consensus was positive due to the platform's flexibility and departmental support.
License Agreement Approved for Property at 23 Big Rock Loop
The town board approved a license agreement for 23 Big Rock Loop in Katonah, New York. This agreement grants a revocable license for stonework, front steps, and a walkway within the town's right-of-way. The license is replicable with 90 days' notice. The town attorney reviewed the agreement and added identification language to the covers. This type of agreement has been done previously for driveways and landscaping.
