  Greetings Residents, Neighbors and Friends . . . I hope this finds you and your families well and ready for the start of Spring.
            By way

of introduction, my name is Adam H. Koblenz.  On March 18, 2025, I was elected the next Mayor of the Village of Roslyn Estates.  Previously, I served as the Associate Village Justice for the past two (2) years.
It is an honor and a privilege of a lifetime to serve this extraordinary Village, along with the Board of Trustees, Chairpersons and Members of the various Boards, Village staff, our terrific Civic Association and countless volunteers and supporters alike, in this next term.  I am beyond humbled and grateful for this opportunity and intend to prioritize the fiscal health of our Village and the well-being of all residents at all times.   
            But, before I begin, I wish to express a sincere debt of gratitude to outgoing Mayor Paul Leone Peters for his steadfast leadership, dedication and commitment to our Village for the past decade. I also wish to thank Mayor Peters’ wife, Clare, for her invaluable contributions to the Village, too.

My wife, Bess, and our two (2) daughters, Charlotte (10) and Skylar (9) reside on The Birches.  I am a lifelong resident of Roslyn.  Bess and I always desired to move to this Village for its beauty, bucolic scenery and its sense of community.  With a sense of pride in raising our daughters in the Village, we have and continue to solidify life-long friendships and personal relationships.
            Now, on to new business.  While I am eager and determined to hit the ground running on several of the initiatives I campaigned on in the past election cycle, I also find it equally as prudent, first, to listen and hear from You, the Residents, as to Your needs and priorities, areas of improvements that can be made and to ensure your voices are heard as the Board of Trustees embarks on this new term in office.
            To this end, in the coming weeks, I will be announcing a date for a forthcoming Town Hall-style meeting at the Village Hall, where

all residents are welcome to join and participate to address issues of concern, express ideas and ways that the Board can best serve your interests.  Additionally, I will also be rolling out a “Meeting with the Mayor” program designed to ensure that all residents have the ability to schedule meetings by appointment with the Mayor for any and all issues, concerns or just so that we can get to know one another, on a personal and professional level.  I also enthusiastically welcome and encourage anyone that wishes to get involved in civic participation, in any capacity, to reach out to me at any point in time that moves you. 
            In closing, I intend to govern with an “Open Door Policy”; full transparency; communicate consistently, openly and honestly to ensure all residents are well informed; always maintain an open mind to differing views, opinions and perspectives; all of which are always welcome and will be validated; be solution oriented to prevent or resolve differences or disputes as or before same may arise; refrain from making a “mountain

out of a molehill” where the rule of law allows for the pathway of least resistance
; be fair and equitable at all times and above all, be a Mayor for “ALL” Residents.
            Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
            -- Margaret Mead

Adam H. Koblenz, Mayor
