MOMENT OF SILENCE
In memory of the 1,077,129+ individual victims of COVID-19 who have died in the United States, 6,642,832+ deaths worldwide, each leaving family members and friends too soon
In memory of the people in Ukraine killed during Russia's invasion and relentless intentional targeted bombing of civilians in apartment buildings, hospitals, train stations, schools and children centers, deliberating targeting utilities used by civilians to leave them without electricity and heat through the brutal winter weather, with mass graves being found after invaded areas have been retaken, all in Russia's effort to destroy Ukraine and its people, who are forced to fight for their land, their freedom, and general democratic principles. May they rest in peace and peace be restored to Ukraine |

| 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.

Recently, on 3/23/2021, Moody's reaffirmed the Town earned Moody's highest rating and, on 03/26/2021, Standard & Poors once again reaffirmed the Town earned Standard & Poors highest rating.
Anyone interested in serving on a board or commission should send a resume to the Town Board via Judith A. Beville, Town Clerk, 177 Hillside Avenue, Greenburgh, NY 10607
