TOWN OF GREENBURGH TOWN BOARD MEETING

However, if you wish to register to speak at the meeting using Zoom, we have worked out the details.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE | ||||||
ROLL CALL: Town Clerk | ||||||
MOMENT OF SILENCE Leonidas “Lee” Mouzakitis, 39, Hartsdale, was a town employee (in the Clerk's Office until he transferred to the Assessor's Office) since he was 19. In 2014, we lost him to New Rochelle, where he served as a Senior Real Property Appraiser. Lee is fondly remembered as a very dedicated, hard-working employee with a great work ethic. His kind, sincere and personable nature resulted in many close friendships which began in Town Hall and lasted until his unexpected passing on April 23, 2020. In memory of all the fallen police officers who put their lives on the line everyday, and who have served as front line responders throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic. May 5th - 11th was National Police Week in the United States All the victims of the COVID-19 Pandemic |
