Town
Clerk’s Report: Paid to the Supervisor for May
fees $2,891.93 total for the month $3,288.70. The Historical
Society will host an open house from 6-8 pm on Thursday, June
14th at town hall. I received notification today that the records
management grant I submitted was denied funding. The competition
is great and funding very limited. I will be giving the town
board a list of items and cost necessary to start this project
because I feel we can’t wait any longer to organize the
town records in the vault and the storage room.
Supervisor's Report: Again this month I would
like to thank our Historical Society for another wonderful event
on Memorial Day weekend at the Rural Cemetery honoring our veterans
both still with us and deceased. I have noticed over the last
few years how well the events our Historical society holds are
attended, I do hope you will try to make their membership drive
on Thursday June 14th, and a special thank you to Mrs. Cooper,
and Mrs. Mahaney for all their time and efforts to keep our
history alive.
I have sent the estimate into the DEC for the flow meter at
Sleepy Hollow Sewage Treatment Plant that was suggested. When
I get their approval we will have it installed. The SPEDES permit
has been renewed.
The town park has been spruced up and it is nice to see families
taking advantage of it.
On tonight’s agenda the town board is asked to approve
the hiring of Maxwell Appraisal Service for a town wide revaluation
project at a cost of $85,000.00. Over the last few years the
state has lowered our equalization rate to approximately 83%.
The town has not had a revaluation in over 10 years and unfortunately
it is time, and we cannot put it off or the rate of equalization
will continue to drop and we will be taxed at a higher rate
than our neighbors for school and county taxes.
There were 15 building permits issued and 13 inspections for
May.
