GENITO MAYOR COMMISSIONER ROSEMARY CUCURULLO DEPUTY COMMISSIONER TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL AND CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK In accordance with Section 58 of the City's Charter, submitted herewith is the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the City of White Plains for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the City's Department of Finance. The City has responsibility for the accuracy of the data presented, including all disclosures. We believe that the financial and other information included in this report is accurate in all material respects and that the respective financial statements present fairly the financial position of the City and its component units. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed the anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. The City's basic financial statements have been audited by O'Connor Davies Munns & Dobbins, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The independent auditor's report, which can be found at the front of the financial section of this report, expresses their unqualified opinion that the City's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010 are fairly presented in all material aspects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This report has also been prepared and organized to meet the requirements of the Government Finance Officers Association's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting program. In accordance with its' guidelines, the report is presented with four major sections; Introductory Section, Financial Section, Statistical Section, and Federal Awards Section. The independent audit of the financial statements of the City of White Plains was part of a broader, federally mandated "Single Audit", conducted in conformity with the provisions of the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations. Information related to this Single Audit, including a schedule of federal financial assistance, the independent auditors' report on internal controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, schedule of findings, and related corrective action plans, is included in this report following the statistical section. 1 In addition, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires the City's management to provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis of the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal complements the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City's MD&A is included in the financial section of this CAFR immediately following the independent auditor's report.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 100 Martine Avenue, White Plains, NY CONTACT INFORMATION 914-422-1480 www.whiteplainslibrary.org CALL: 914-422-6947 Nancy Kunz [email protected] News Release White Plains Landmarks in Lego® on Display at City Hall WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (November 16, 2015) – Children in The Trove’s (White Plains Public Library’s award- winning children’s library) Lego® Club built White Plains, all in Lego®! The public is invited to view the project on display at The White Plains City Hall (255 Main Street, White Plains, NY 10601) beginning November 17 and continuing through December 2015. Previously, the club had built a Lego® model of The New New York Bridge (the bridge that will replace the Tappan Zee Bridge). After a request by a community member to create the church he was affiliated with in Lego®, the club realized it had the opportunity to create many notable buildings in the White Plains area. In consultation with Librarian for White Plains History Ben Himmelfarb, eighteen White Plains buildings were selected for the project. Photographs of the buildings were taken and the Lego® construction took place throughout the summer and into the new school year. From the photographs, children were able to visualize and create Lego® models of the following buildings: The Church of Saint Bernard Congregation Kol Ami First Church of Christ, Scientist Jacob Purdy House Kensico Terrace Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church Peoples National Bank and Trust Company Building Shinnyo-en Buddhist Temple Trump Tower at City Center Verizon Building Westchester County Center Westchester County Court White Plains Armory White Plains City Hall White Plains, Metro North Railroad Station White Plains Public Library White Plains Public Schools Education House Women’s Club of White Plains This project has given children the opportunity to experience all the educational benefits of playing with Lego® blocks.

    FINAL CASE STUDY: WHITE PLAINS Don't Fox With Us: Bryanna Benvenuti, Brianna D’Amico, Natalie Ma, Courtney O’Donnell, and Meaghan Roche “White Plains, it sounds like a magical place!” Synthesis Essay White Plains is a city in Westchester County, New York. It is the county seat and commercial hub of Westchester, an affluent suburban county just 30 miles north of New York City, and is surrounded by ​ the beauty of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. White Plains is known for its unique combination of river town, bustling city, quiet village, and beautiful scenery. It is also known as the birthplace of the State of New York as it offers many historic key sites and was extremely important part of the Revolutionary War. The historic sites in White Plains are tourist and family friendly because ​ ​ of the diverse possibilities for education and discovery. Visitors will particularly focus on the preservation of historic buildings, sites, monuments, and cemeteries; and the promotion of public interest, awareness, and generation of pride in our historic heritage. One important aspect that White Plains has to offer is the role it had in the Revolutionary War. Dating back to the beginning of White Plains, at the time of the Dutch settlement of Manhattan in the th early 17 ​ century, the region had been used as farmland by the Weckquaeskeck tribe. In 1683, men from ​ nearby Rye, New York, purchased 4,435 acres of land from the Weckquaeskeck Indians. In 1721, King George II granted eighteen settlers a patent to White Plains. Shortly after this time, homes, churches, and businesses had begun to spring up along the “Village Street,” now known as Broadway.

Many alleged criminals being sort by the police disguise their facial features to make it difficult for the police to apprehend them. Aside from surgery, there are many things that the wanted person can do to make recognition difficult. The addition and removal of beards and mustaches, or even change in hair color or hairstyle, are relatively easy to accom - plish. Tinted contact lenses, now, are very common can also change the color of eyes. However, there are some features that an individual cannot change easily. These are features a police officer should concentrate on when attempting to identify a wanted person. This size, shape, and position of the ears. This shape of the chin. The shape of the nose and the jaw are difficult to change without surgery. The police officer should also recognize that the wanted male with a distinctive jaw would likely try to disguise that feature by growing a beard.
