MOMENT OF SILENCE

In memory of Major John Daskos (Ret.), who passed away on Friday, December 18, 2020. He was a member of the 42nd Infantry "Rainbow" Division Association of the U.S. Army National Guard and a member of the Town of Greenburgh Veterans Advisory Committee, which is dedicated to serving Veterans in our community, and throughout Westchester County. He was also an active member of the Scarsdale American Legion Post 52 and belonged to numerous Veteran organizations.

In memory of Peter Woods, who passed away on January 9, 2021, was a remarkable human being, a 9/11 hero, a Hartsdale Fire Commissioner, a devoted leader of Sacred Heart Church and an exceptionally nice person. His passing is heartbreaking to the community. He spoke passionately about his experiences on 9/11 at our annual 9/11 memorial ceremonies. He fought for safety enhancements on Central Avenue near Sacred Heart Church and did so much more. He was an exceptional human being, had a positive attitude about life, a model citizen and an inspiration.

In memory of the 383,731+ individual victims of COVID-19, who have died in the United States, 1,974,176+ deaths worldwide, each leaving family members and friends too soon

SUPERVISOR & TOWN COUNCIL REPORTS/ANNOUNCEMENTS

GOOD NEWS...The Town continues (since 2008) to have the highest possible bond rating from Standard & Poors (AAA) and (since 2010) (Aaa) from Moody's. Less than 1% of communities in the nation have this record of financial stability. Recently (09/19/19), Standard & Poors once again reaffirmed the Town's highest rating and on (9/18/19) Moody's reaffirmed the Town's highest rating.
