League Meets with Mayor Flisser

On May 2nd Mayor Miriam Levitt Flisser met with members of the Scarsdale League of Women Voters. Mayor Flisser emphasized that Village officials would like to get input on the budget from the League, neighborhood associations and other community organizations as early as possible this year. Individuals are also welcome to send their thoughts to the Village Board. Since it will be very difficult in the next budget cycle to keep taxes down without cutting some services, the Mayor wants to know where the community believes the cuts should be made. Mayor Flisser's second topic was the system for appointing people to Village Boards and Councils. The process is being revamped. The most important factor that will be considered in addition to the applicant's qualifications is the applicant's history of volunteering in Scarsdale. A draft of the new application is on the Village website. She would like more publicity for the application process to broaden understanding of how people are selected and when to apply.
