Jan. 13, 2016:  On January 5, 2016, Supervisor Anthony S. Colavita, town board members Joseph Dooley, Glenn Bellitto, and Theresa Nicholson, town justices Janet Calano and Fred Salanitro, town clerk Linda Laird, and receiver of taxes Rocco Cacciola took their oaths of office at the Town of Eastchester board meeting held at town hall.

All had been re-elected in November of 2015. In his remarks, Supervisor Colavita said, "The town board will continue to make Eastchester better, together with the help of fellow residents." He thanked the electorate and pledged to keep Eastchester affordable while maintaining the high level of services residents enjoy.

Traditionally, the first town board meeting held the year after an election is a reorganizational meeting for the purposes of swearing in elected officials and approving annual appointments to staff, boards, and commissions. Many family members and well-wishers were on hand to show their support for all those sworn in and appointed at the meeting.
