tax year immediately preceding the date of the application for exemption. “Income
tax year” shall mean the twelve-month period for which the applicant filed a federal
personal income tax return or, if no such return was filed, the calendar year where
title is vested in either member of a married couple. Where title is vested in either
the husband or the wife member of a married couple, their combined income may

inheritances, or a veteran’s disability compensation. In computing net rental income
and net income from self-employment, no depreciation deduction shall be allowed
for the exhaustion, wear and tear of real or personal property held for the production
of income.
(3) Effective as of the June 1, 2027 tentative assessment roll/2028 tax billing cycle and
continuing thereafter, distributions received from an individual retirement account
or individual retirement annuity that were included in the applicant’s FAGI shall
be considered income for purposes of determining exemption eligibility.
(4) The title to the property shall have been vested in the owner or all of the owners of
the property for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the date of making
application for exemption.
(5) The property is used exclusively for residential purposes.
(6) The real property is the legal residence of and is occupied in whole or in part by the
owner or by all of the owners of said property.

Changes to New York State RPTL 467 Low Income Aged Exemptions
Several significant modifications have been made to New York State Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) Section 467,
which governs the low-income aged exemptions for senior citizens aged 65 or older on their primary residence.
These changes primarily focus on new income limits and percentages, sliding scale options and adjustments to
income that local municipalities may adopt.
Currently the T. Bedford has adopted the income limit of $50,000 to be eligible for the 50% tax saving for the low
income senior Aged exemption and the sliding scale option that gradually reduces the exemption by 5% intervals
to the state maximum income limit of $58,400.

Local Option 1: Lower Income thresholds and Increased exemption percentages
Beginning with the 2026 Assessment Roll, the town may grant, at local option, up to a 65% property tax

exemption for qualifying low-income seniors, increasing from the previous maximum of 50%.
(County/Schools not adopted for 2026 assessment roll).
The new proposed percentages and reduced income thresholds with sliding scale may be adopted as follows:
Current Sliding Scale with Proposed New options in RED

Tax Implications:

For the 2025 Final Assessment Roll, 81 low income senior exemptions were granted with 55 seniors receiving the
maximum 50% tax exemption. The income ranges for all seniors receiving the max 50% tax exemption are below:
- 50 seniors with income < $47,000
2 seniors with income > $47,000 but less than $48,000
0 seniors with income > $48,000 but less than $49,000
3 seniors with income > $49,000 but less than $50,,000
Assuming ALL current low income senior exemptions @50% were to receive the 65% tax exemption,
the town tax rate would increase app. $0.03 and the typical residential property tax bill, with an assessed value
of $70,000, market value of $915,000, would increase app. $2.20.

(over for Option 2)

Local Option 2: Including taxable IRA distributions in determining exemption eligibility
Summary of Income Definitions and local options for adjustments to income:
Recent legislation stipulates that the Federal Adjusted Gross Income (FAGI) reported on income
tax returns will serve as the basis for determining income eligibility.
The FAGI is then adjusted as follows:
- Inclusion of tax-exempt interest and dividends not included in FAGI
- Inclusion of non-taxable Social Security benefits not included in FAGI
- capping the net loss amount on individual schedules to $3,000 & total losses to $15,000
At local option, additional adjustments to FAGI that may be adopted:
- Inclusion of taxable IRA distributions.
- Deduction of non-taxable Social Security benefits.
- Deduction for unreimbursed medical & drug expenses not covered by insurance.
Note:
Pensions and annuities are included as income in determining exemption eligibility.
Other Westchester municipalities have adopted option to include taxable IRA distributions as income
Signed worksheets are used for non-tax filers.

Tax Implications:
For the 2025 Final Assessment Roll, taxable IRA distributions (line 4b) were excluded as income
in determining exemption eligibility for the low income senior Aged exemption.
If the local option is adopted to include taxable IRA distributions as income in determining
income eligibility for the low income senior Aged exemption, the tax implications would be as
follows:
- 14 seniors would lose their low income senior Aged exemption
8 seniors would retain their exemption but at a lower percentage.

TOWN OF BEDFORD
Resolution No. __ of 2025
A Resolution Determining
Freedom of Information Law Appeal
WHEREAS, by letter dated March 25, 2026, which was received by the
Town Clerk on April 1, 2026, Ronald C. Greenland, filed an appeal pursuant to
the Freedom of Information Law (the “FOIL Appeal”) with respect to a response to
a FOIL request provided by the Town of Bedford Records Officer on January 2,
2026, seeking certain police reports and other documents retained by the Town
of Bedford Police Department; and
WHEREAS , pursuant to Town Code §95-8(C), the Town of Bedford Town
Board is the body designated to hear appeals for denial of access to records
under the FOIL; and
WHEREAS , the Town Board has reviewed and discussed the merits of the
FOIL Appeal with the Town Attorney in executive session and considered the
basis for the denial of the original FOIL request and whether the FOIL appeal
should be granted or denied.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED , that the Town Board
has determined that the appeal was not timely filed within thirty (30) days as
required by Public Officers Law §89(4)(a); however, because Mr. Greenland is
currently incarcerated, the Town Board has determined that the FOIL Appeal
should be addressed on the merits; and
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED , that the FOIL Appeal is granted based upon
the finding that there is one (1) record that is arguably responsive to the original
FOIL request that was not provided previously; and
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Town of Bedford Records Officer is
directed to provide such document to Mr. Greenland with five (5) days of the date
of this Resolution; and
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Town Board has been advised that
a diligent search has been conducted and the document being provided is the
only document in the possession of the Town of Bedford Police Department that
is potentially responsive to the FOIL Appeal. To the extent Mr. Greenland is
seeking records that are maintained by another municipality’s police department,
such records must be requested from that police department.

TOWN OF BEDFORD
Resolution April 8 2026
A Resolution Determining
Freedom of Information Law Appeal
WHEREAS, by letter dated March 19, 2026, Melanie Hammer, filed an
appeal pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law (the “FOIL Appeal”) with
respect to responses to town (2) Freedom of Information Law (“FOIL”) requests
submitted by Melanie Hammer; and
WHEREAS , the first FOIL request was submitted on December 21, 2025,
and sought the following records:
GRANDFATHERED
USE
"SINGLE
RESIDENCE/RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE"

FRAME

THE BARN APARTMENT HAS GRANDFATHERED
RESIDENTIAL USE REFLECTED ON MAPS
Pursuant to Article 6 of the New York Public Officers Law (FOIL),
I hereby request copies of any and all existing records in the
possession, custody, or control of the Town of Bedford, including
but not limited to the Department of Building, Planning Department,
and any archived municipal records, that reflect, describe, or classify
the structure located at 146 Goldens Bridge Road, Bedford, New
York, as a residential structure.
This request specifically includes, but is not limited to, the following
records:
Any zoning maps, planning maps, tax maps, or property
classification maps that identify or label the structure as a “single
frame residence,” “single-family residence,” “residential structure,”
or similar designation;
Any Department of Building records, filed drawings, historical
plans, permits, or property records that describe or classify the
structure as residential; and
WHEREAS, a response to this FOIL request was provided on January 12, 2026 stating
that “[t]here are no documents responsive to this request. There is nothing listing the structure as
"residential" in the building department. A permit/co was issued for the 2nd floor of the garage as
a "rec room". Parcel history is enclosed.”

WHEREAS , the second FOIL request was dated January 12, 2026, and
sought the following records:
Pursuant to Article 6 of the New York Public Officers Law, I hereby
request copies of any and all existing maps in the possession,
custody, or control of the Town of Bedford, including but not
limited to the Department of Building, Planning Department,
Zoning Office, and any archived or legacy record systems, that
classify, describe, or depict the structure located at 146 Goldens
Bridge Road, Bedford, New York—identified in multiple Town
records as a “1-story residence over garage”—as anything other than
a residential structure.
This request specifically includes, but is not limited to:
Any zoning maps, tax maps, planning maps, or property
classification maps that identify the structure as non-residential,
accessory, storage, agricultural, or any use other than residential;
Any filed drawings, plans, that classify or describe the structure as
non-residential; and
WHEREAS, a response to this FOIL request was provided by the Town of Bedford
Records Officer on February 12, 2026, providing certain documents; and

WHEREAS , pursuant to Town Code §95-8(C), the Town of Bedford Town
Board is the body designated to hear appeals for denial of access to records under
the FOIL; and
WHEREAS , the Town Board has reviewed and discussed the merits of the
FOIL Appeal with the Town Attorney in executive session and considered the basis
for the denial of the original FOIL requests and whether the FOIL appeal should be
granted or denied.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED , that the Town Board has
determined that the appeal was not timely filed within thirty (30) days as required
by Public Officers Law §89(4)(a); and
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER RESOLVED , that the February 25, 2026, email
from the Records Officer was not a supplemental response and the FOIL Appeal
remains untimely; and
IT IS HEREVY FURTHER RESOLVED , that even if the Town Board were
to find that the FOIL Appeal was timely, which it was not, it should also be denied
on the merits for following reasons:

-2-

1.

With respect to the first FOIL response provided on January 12, 2026,
the Town Board confirms that there are no documents in the Town’s
possession that classify the space over the garage as “residential”.
While certain surveys in the Building Department’s files identify a “1
STORY FRAME RESIDENCE OVER GARAGE”, those surveys were
prepared by third-parties, these are not “zoning maps, planning maps,
tax maps, or property classification maps”; and

2.

With respect to the second FOIL response provided on February 12,
2026, documents that classify, describe or depict the area over the
garage as non-residential were properly provided.

IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Town Board has been advised that
a diligent search has been conducted of all records in the Town of Bedford’s
possession, including Building Department and Planning Department files and all
documents response to the referenced FOIL requests have been provided.

RE:

Axon Contract Renewal

Respectfully requesting approval to renew our departments current contract with Axon for
body worn cameras and conducted energy devices (AKA Taser). This renewal is essential to
maintaining the high standards of transparency, accountability, as well as officer and public
safety. The proposed renewal will ensure uninterrupted service, technical support, secure
data storage and access to updated equipment and software for the next 5 years (20262030). The initial cost of $240,000.00 has been accounted for in the Department 2026 capital
budget and the annual cost for years 2-5 are substantially similar to the current annual
operating cost budget for this service and equipment.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Re:

Request to purchase a road grader

The DPW fleet currently includes a 1987 Caterpillar road grader. It is approaching 40 years of age,
and parts availability is becoming difficult. The grader is a critical piece of equipment for
maintaining the Town’s 33 miles of dirt roads.
After researching several models, we have received a proposal from HO Penn for a Caterpillar
120JOY grader for $379,500. Purchase is via a Sourcewell contract. Sourcewell is a national public
service agency which provides competitive bids which municipalities can purchase from. This is
permissible by N.Y. General Municipal Law §103. The proposed purchase would be funded from
highway fund balance, as approved in the capital plan. I recommend that the Board authorize me
to make this purchase. Highway fund balance will remain well above the Town’s 15% goal after this
purchase.
Please let me know if you have questions related to this memo or require additional information.

New York State law requires that the governing body of a municipality approve
budget transfers. The attached schedule details the budget transfers necessary as
part of the 2025 year-end process.
The annual audit by PKF O’Connor Davis is scheduled to begin on Monday, March
30, 2026. While we have taken every precaution to address all necessary account
deficits, it is possible that additional budget transfers may be required based on
the audit's findings.

To:
Supervisor Calves & Town Board Members
From: Brian Kenneally
Date: March 27, 2026

As part of the year-end close and preparation for the 2025 audit, the Town
conducted a continued review and analysis of its capital projects to identify
those appropriate for closure. Building on last year’s comprehensive review,
this year’s effort went further to properly classify project expenditures and
ensure that eligible projects were fully reconciled and closed out.
The projects included in the attached schedule have been determined to be fully
expended and now reflect zero balances. These projects have had no recent
financial activity and are considered complete.
Closing out these projects ensures that the Town’s capital records remain
accurate and up to date. It also supports compliance with bond covenants, audit
standards, and generally accepted accounting principles, while promoting clear
financial reporting and the effective management of Town resources.

Re: 2026 Bedford Village Sidewalk Sale Co-Sponsorship and Approval
Dear Town Board,
I am writing to relay the request for co-sponsorship and Police Resource support of the Bedford Village Sidewalk
Sale. The sale runs from 6/5-6/7/2026 and supports the Bedford Village Hamlet there is recommended Police
Support being needed for 6/7/2026 to ensure extra pedestrian safety.
Resource recommendation as follows:
1 Officer on 6/7/2026 from 10a-5p $1,180.13
I respectfully request conditional Town Board approval of the event and co-sponsorship, subject to compliance with
Village Green use policies.
Per the Town’s co-sponsorship policy:
• The Town covers services up to $1,500, and
• 50% of costs exceeding $1,500, up to a maximum of $3,000.
Based on the projected cost, the Town’s contribution will be $1,180.13, and the organizer’s will be $0.
The Town Board approved $35,000 for co-sponsored events in 2026. The current balance is $33,325.64. If
approved, the remaining balance will be $32,145.51.
Thank you for your consideration,

Allie
