Scarsdale Voters are Invited to Join the Nonpartisan Citizens Nominating Committee to help Choose the next Mayor, Village Trustees and Village Justice

The Procedure Committee invites eligible residents to run for a seat on the non-partisan Citizens Nominating Committee, the group of Scarsdale residents who will soon meet on these weekday evenings to select candidates for the offices of the next mayor, three trustees and village justice: Nov. 26, Dec. 12, Dec.19, Jan. 7, Jan. 14 (and Jan. 23 only if necessary). The 3-year CNC term ensures that members who gain a seat this year and next will have another opportunity to select a mayor in 2021.

Running for the CNC simply requires applicants to file a brief bio and a nominating petition with the signatures of 10 voters from their elementary school district – a way for your friends and neighbors to participate. The deadline for filing both is Sept. 30, by mail to Scarsdale P.O. Box 284 or by email to the PC at meppenstein@eppenstein.com or chengchoi@optonline.net. The forms are on the forms/2018 PC website page at www.scarsdaleprocedurecommittee.org, together with a FAQ sheet that explains how the village non-partisan system works. Have any questions? Call PC Chair Madelaine Eppenstein at 914-262-6656.

The CNC election will be held at Village Hall on Tues. Nov. 13. The following members of the PC, many of whom have served with distinction on the CNC, thank the Scarsdale community for participating in the civic life of Scarsdale through membership on the CNC: Charles Baltman; Sarah Bell; David Dembitzer; Eric Cheng; Madelaine Eppenstein; Timothy Foley; Jeff Goodwin; Mayra Kirkendall-Rodríguez; Eli Mattioli; David Peck; Pam Rubin; Gregory Soldatenko; Nancy Steinberg; Michelle Sterling; and Bruce Wells.
