This letter was sent to Scarsdale10583 by Madelaine Eppenstein and Eric Cheng from the Procedure Committee:

To the Editor:

The Procedure Committee, the ad hoc group that administers the non-partisan election system in Scarsdale, is issuing one last, final invitation to all Scarsdale residents to help improve our unique system by commenting on proposed changes to its governing document, the Non-Partisan Resolution. Please visit the PC’s website for an explanation of the proposed amendments and to review a copy of the current Non-Partisan Resolution marked to show proposed changes. August 31 is the deadline to send your comments to Procedure Committee chair Madelaine Eppenstein and/or vice chair Eric Cheng (meppenstein@eppenstein.com; chengchoi@optonline.net). Proposed amendments will appear on the ballot on Tuesday, November 13, 2018, when Scarsdale voters will simultaneously elect a new class of Citizens Nominating Committee members.

We are also inviting voters to join the Citizens Nominating Committee, whose purpose is to recruit, evaluate and select a non-partisan slate of candidates for the village offices of mayor, trustees and village justice – that election will be held on March 19, 2019. The CNC’s simple application materials, a brief biographical form and nominating petition, are also posted on the same page of the Procedure Committee’s website. This is your opportunity to have your voice heard on who will represent you at Village Hall and to participate in Village civic affairs.

This is a public service announcement from the members of the 2018 Procedure Committee, residents from each of Scarsdale’s five elementary school neighborhoods: Charles Baltman; Sarah Bell; Eric Cheng; David Dembitzer; Madelaine Eppenstein; Timothy Foley; Jeff Goodwin; Mayra Kirkendall-Rodríguez; Eli Mattioli; David Peck; Richard Pinto; Pam Rubin; Gregory Soldatenko; Jill Spielberg; Nancy Steinberg; Michelle Sterling; and Bruce Wells.
