About Us
Since 2008, Phil has served the village in various capacities: In 2008, Phil was appointed to the Zoning Board and then in September of 2012, was appointed to serve as Trustee. In March of 2013, he was elected for two years to his position as Airmont Trustee. During his time as Trustee, he has worked diligently to improve the conditions of the Village. A Village Board member should proactively make improvements and react to residents’ concerns. As soon as he was elected, he set up a social media page exclusively for Airmont residents to voice their concerns to him and, as proxy, to the board. This has proven to be exceptionally successful as the residents now feel closer and more involved in what goes on in the Village.
He has worked to maintain the character of our neighborhood, both while on the Zoning Board and as Village Trustee. He voted to draft and pass resolutions to allow more effective Village enforcement of property maintenance, stricter rules on recycling, and even personally drafted and voted to pass a law regulating block parties. He is not done yet as there are more issues he still plans to pursue before they become problems.
He strives to ensure that the residents enjoy the best services available while keeping their costs as low as possible. This year in particular, he saved the Village over one hundred thousand dollars by proposing and voting to rebid our snow contract. Last year, he lobbied the Town of Ramapo Assessors’ office about some of the questionable tax exemptions that were given in error. As a result, many properties that were illegally exempt or exempt in error are back on the Village tax roll. These are only two of the many instances that prove his eagerness to keep taxes low and prevent frivolous spending.
