The Greenburgh Town Board appreciates comments from residents at its open meetings. Recently, comments have been made that, whether intended or not, were hurtful to other members of the public because the comment perpetuated racial or religious tropes and stereotypes. We believe it is appropriate to remind everyone that bigotry and hate have no place in Greenburgh. As we move forward we will work together to educate each other around this issue. Our goal is to maintain a robust and constructive dialogue. We are confident that this Town can continue to have these dialogues.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

MOMENT OF SILENCE

In Memory of Daniel Raftery, 74, long time Hartsdale resident, former Greenville Fire Department Chief, died June 16, succumbing after a two year battle with 9/11-related cancer, having responded to the "pile" on September 11, 2001, and days thereafter. Dan dedicated his career to the Greenville Fire District. He joined the department in 1973 and rose to the rank of Chief in 1986, a position held for 34 years until his retirement in 2020, after 47 years of service. Chief Raftery was an admired and devoted firefighter, leader and public servant. He was respected in the community and in the fire service and made an indelible imprint on the Greenville Fire District.

In memory of those killed in Ukraine due to the Russian invasion, and in memory of those who have perished in Israel and Gaza due to the terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023. We pray for a swift return of the hostages and for peace in the region.
