To the Editor:

Mar. 21, 2018: We want to take this opportunity to thank our incredible village staff for so professionally and willingly rising to the occasion these past few weeks. We always knew we had the finest, kindest, most loyal staff, but the past few events have only served to cement that dedication and reputation.

We also want to thank our residents, many without power for over a week, for their patience, understanding, tolerance, and so-appreciated good humor. We truly do live in a special place.

Our greatest thanks must go to our Village Administrator, Jim Palmer. Only on the Bronxville team for four years, he worked day and night for ten days straight. He kept Con Ed’s feet to the fire while coordinating the activities of all the crews in the village – utility, public works, tree cutting, including escorting them personally from site to site. Jim was even seen ringing doorbells sharing the latest information and assisted homeowners in finding electricians as needed.

His grit, determination, professionalism, and advocacy for Bronxville were stunning to watch and a testament to the fine and dedicated man he is. One of our greatest hires, Jim truly has embraced the Bronxville spirit.

With a warm and heartfelt thank-you,

Chief Christopher Satriale
Mayor Mary Marvin
Deputy Mayor Bob Underhill
Trustee Anne Poorman
Trustee Guy Longobardo
Trustee Randy Mayer
