  • Undertake capital program planning and make recommendations on the capital budget (Capital Projects Review Report); and

By law, four of the nine must be residents of any four cities in Westchester; two must be residents of any two county villages; and three must be residents of areas outside any city or village.

The remaining three members, voting and ex-officio, are the Commissioners of the Departments of Environmental Facilities, Public Works, and Parks, Recreation and Conservation. A quorum consists of seven members – an absolute majority of the fully authorized membership of the board.

The County Executive appoints the Board Chairperson. The board members elect the Vice-Chair. Board committees are formed on an ad-hoc basis depending on issues being studied.
