Yonkers Insider/Westchester Insider: WESTCHESTER COUNTY BOARD OF LEGISLATORS PASSES FIRST SET OF LEGISLATION FOR 2024.

 

WESTCHESTER COUNTY BOARD OF LEGISLATORS PASSES FIRST SET OF LEGISLATION FOR 2024.

Acquiring Property for Affordable Housing Construction is Focus.

 

White Plains, NY — At their first Board meeting since the reorganization, the Board of Legislators voted (unanimously) to pass Land Acquisition Acts to authorize the purchase and subsequent conveyance of property to support the construction of affordable senior rental housing units. This initiative is part of the County's program to support the construction of affordable housing units that affirmatively further fair housing (Affordable AFFH Units) throughout Westchester.

 

Board Chair Vedat Gashi (D- Ossining, New Castle, Somers, Yorktown) said, "Words are powerful when actions follow. It’s appropriate that these are the first items we take up in our first legislative session. These actions today reflect the concrete steps that the BOL is taking to provide more affordable housing in Westchester. Residents in Westchester – seniors in particular – are suffering because of a lack of affordable housing. This is a step to bring relief to our seniors. I want to thank our partners on the state level, municipalities, my fellow Legislators and County Executive George Latimer. We will do whatever we can to help seniors and all residents of Westchester County.”

 

Legislator Shanae Williams (D – Yonkers) said, "As Housing & Planning Chair and former Council Member, I am familiar with this project, and I am thrilled when County and City converge to meet the needs of our residents. Many seniors live on a fixed income, and it's crucial for them to have the option to reside in safe and affordable housing. The approval of these rental units is a significant victory not just for the elderly population but for the community as a whole.”

 

Legislator Emiljana Ulaj (D - Briarcliff Manor, Cortlandt, Croton, Ossining, Peekskill, Buchanan) said, “I’m thrilled for one of my first acts as a County Legislator to be voting on the necessary steps for the County to support affordable housing projects for seniors in my district. Many of our seniors have spent decades in our local communities—they need affordable options to continue to live in the communities they love. I commend the Village of Ossining for being a strong partner in this effort, my colleagues at the Board of Legislators, and County Executive George Latimer for his dedication to addressing the County’s most critical needs.”

The two affordable properties will help ease the housing shortage for senior citizens in Westchester, where seniors living on fixed incomes struggle to afford rising housing costs. The Yonkers property will offer 94 affordable housing units and 49 parking spaces to seniors earning at or below 30% and up to 80% of the Westchester County area median income. The Ossining property will offer 74 affordable units and 79 parking spaces for senior residents earning at or below 40% and up to 60% of the Westchester County area median income. Both properties will be marketed and leased to eligible residents aged 62 years and over.

Yonkers Insider/Westchester Insider: WCPD Officer Revives Infant Who Was Non Responsive, Not Breathing.

 

COUNTY POLICE OFFICER REVIVES INFANT WHO WAS NON-RESPONSIVE, NOT BREATHING.

 

(Mount Kisco, NY) -- A Westchester County police officer revived a baby who had stopped breathing yesterday when he performed CPR and provided other lifesaving care until the infant began breathing on her own again.

 

The incident unfolded about 1:50 a.m. Thursday when County Police received a 911 call reporting that a 1-year-old was non-responsive and not breathing at a residence in Mount Kisco. Upon arrival, PO Stephen Samuel took the infant from frantic relatives and began CPR. In addition, he turned the baby over and administered several back blows to discharge anything that might be blocking her airway.

 

The child remained unresponsive and he continued his efforts. A short time later, PO Samuel observed the child take a breath and then heard her let out a faint cry. He continued to hold her face down in a recovery position while a second officer, PO Emanuel Anjo checked her mouth for any obstructions. PO Anjo was able to remove excess mucus from the child’s mouth to improve her breathing.

 

A Westchester EMS paramedic and members of the Mount Kisco Volunteer Ambulance Corps arrived on scene to take over care and transport the child to Northern Westchester Hospital Center.

 

About 4:30 a.m. the same morning, the officers stopped by the hospital, spoke with family members and medical staff, and learned that the little girl was doing well and would be discharged later in the day.

 

“When every second counted, it is gratifying to know that this child and her family could count on the Westchester County Police,” Commissioner Terrance Raynor said. “Our officers are trained to provide emergency aid, and this is the outcome we always hope to see. I commend these two officers for the skillful and decisive actions they took to save this child’s life.”

 

The name and location of the family is being withheld to respect the victims privacy.

YONKERS, NY – January 19, 2024 – Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano today announced the expansion of the City of Yonkers’ green fleet with the addition of 5 new full electric Ford F-150 Lightning pick-up trucks. Part of the City’s green initiative and the Yonkers Climate Action Plan, the City of Yonkers maintains the largest electric vehicle fleet among Westchester County municipalities.

 

The City of Yonkers’ green fleet now includes 118 electric and hybrid vehicles. Additional electric pick-up trucks will be added to the fleet later this year.

 

“These new vehicles will continue to help us navigate the future of Yonkers by reducing our carbon footprint,” said Mayor Mike Spano. “We want to lead the way in Westchester and commit to a greener, more sustainable Yonkers by utilizing the innovative technology available to us.”

 

Department of Public Works Commissioner Thomas G. Meier said, “As part of Mayor Spano’s continuing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Department of Public Works has continued to add electric and hybrid electric vehicles to our fleet. These five all-electric light-duty utility trucks provide another level of success towards accomplishing his goal to make Yonkers a cleaner and more sustainable City.”

 

Director of the City of Yonkers Office for Sustainability William Serratore said, “Thanks to the leadership of Mayor Mike Spano, the City of Yonkers is advancing access along the green highway by electrifying our fleet. The Lightning F-150 trucks will increase functionality and the City’s capabilities during emergencies.”

 

The Ford F-150 Lightning trucks have an estimated range of 240 miles and can also be used to power tools and appliances, as well as provide backup power in the event of a power outage.

 

In April 2023, Mayor Spano announced the expansion of electric vehicle charging stations in the City of Yonkers with 90 ports available at several sites including City parking lots, garages, and curbside locations. Part of the Yonkers Climate Action Plan’s goal is to secure the City’s path to zero emissions by 2050, which includes a 100% electric fleet.

📣 BREAKING ENDORSEMENT ALERT 📣

:

DAVID SZUCHMAN, FORMER CANDIDATE FOR WESTCHESTER DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ENDORSES SUSAN CACACE FOR WESTCHESTER DISTRICT ATTORNEY

:

“A commitment to public service has always been a significant part of my life, having spent 20 years investigating and prosecuting crime in order to protect survivors and communities,” said Szuchman. 

:

He continued, “As a former prosecutor and Chief of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Investigations Division, I know firsthand the critical role the DA’s office plays in keeping our communities safe. For these reasons, I enthusiastically endorse Democrat Susan Cacace as Westchester’s next District Attorney.” 

:

Szuchman is fully committed to the future of this county. As a lifelong New Yorker who’s called Westchester home for nearly 20 years, and the place he has chosen to raise his family, he is encouraged by the thought of Susan Cacace running the DA’s office. “I have spent time with Judge Cacace and am aware of the vision she has for the office and am inspired by it,” Szuchman says. “From continuing the important work done by District Attorney Rocah's Conviction Review Unit, focusing on innovative alternatives to incarceration, securing advancements in terms of cyber security and sex crimes, to getting guns off the streets and developing more diversionary programs, Susan Cacace is the right leader for this job.”

:

At the time of her retirement, Cacace was the longest serving Westchester County Court Judge, who notably ran the Sex Offense Part of the County Court for over 14 years. She has pledged to make crimes against children and sex offenses committed against the most vulnerable victims, our children and our elderly, a major priority if elected.

RABIES ALERT: RABID FOX KILLED IN PEEKSKILL.

 

(White Plains, NY) – The Westchester County Department of Health is issuing an alert to the community after a fox that bit two residents in Peekskill last Saturday, now tested positive for rabies. Both residents, who were together during the incident, are currently receiving preventive treatment for rabies.

 

The Westchester County Health Department is reminding residents that unusual behavior in an animal may be the first sign of rabies. A rabid animal may become either abnormally aggressive or unusually tame. It may lose fear of people, become excited, irritable, or appear particularly passive and lethargic. Staggering and frothing at the mouth are sometimes noted.

 

Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler, MD, said: “If you see an animal that is acting aggressively, stay away from it and contact local police immediately. And if you are bitten or scratched, call the Health Department right away.”

 

Residents should never approach or have contact with a stray or wild animal. Residents who see a stray or wild animal acting strangely should alert local authorities to avoid possible exposure to rabies. Residents are also advised to keep their trashcan lids securely sealed, remove wild bird feeders, and avoid leaving pet food outdoors.

 

Any physical contact with a wild or unfamiliar animal should be reported to a health care provider. All animal bites or contacts with animals suspected of having rabies must be reported to the Westchester County Department of Health at (914) 813-5000, 24 hours a day.

 

Keeping pet rabies vaccinations up to date is also important for protection against rabies. New York State law requires dogs, cats and ferrets to be vaccinated against rabies and receive regular booster shots. For more information, go to www.westchestergov.com/health or call the RABIES INFOLINE at (914) 813-5010.
