To: Mayor Brian Pugh and the Village Board of Trustees From: Thomas C. Morzello, Assistant to Village Manager Date: February 3rd, 2022 Re: Snowplow Naming Contest for Children The Village of Croton-on-Hudson is seeking “creative, witty and fun” names for three of the snowplows in its fleet from the children of the Village. Mayor Pugh, along with Manager Healy and Superintendent of Public Works Frank Balbi, suggested that the Village give an opportunity for resident children to name the Department of Public Works’ snowplows. Similar successful contests have been held in Vermont and Minnesota. Manager Healy, Superintendent Balbi, Recreation Supervisor Mark Duncan, and myself established the Snowplow Naming Contest for Children. The contest is open to children who have residency in Croton-on- Hudson and involves suggesting a name for the snowplow, accompanied by a brief description supporting their suggestion. Three winners will be decided during the Recreation Advisory Committee Meeting on Tuesday, February 8th. The winning names will be affixed upon the Village’s three biggest snowplows, as well as featured in the March 2022 Village Newsletter. The contest was opened on the Village website on Thursday, January 27th and will run through 12 p.m. on Friday, February 4th. Recreation Supervisor Duncan and I will screen the applications for eligible entries before turning over the submissions to the Recreation Advisory Committee. To date, we have received about 20 applications. Mayor Brian Pugh Trustees Ann Gallelli Sherry Horowitz Alejandro Rosales Len Simon Village Manager Bryan T.
