LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - OCTOBER 23, 2016
On Thursday, October 27,
7:00 PM, at the Town Hall,
the 2017 Preliminary Town
Budget will be presented at a
public meeting. I am pleased to
announce that the tax rate will
remain at 90 cents per thousand
(property assessed for $100,000
would pay $90 in town tax) for
the sixth consecutive year. This
was much more challenging
for the board than in past years
because of several decreases
in revenue items. However,
because of appropriate fund
balances and prudent spending
practices, we were still able to
maintain a stable tax rate. One
troubling area continues to
be the transfer station (as it is
for many townships who offer
this service). We are currently
r unning a $30,000+ deficit
there, so the board has decided
to raise the fees for its use (the
first such increase in five years).
Beginning January 1, 2017,
punch cards for the transfer
station will cost $30 @ $3.00
per punch for a ten punch card.
As was the case five years ago,
current punch cards held by
residents may be used to their
completion. On a brighter note,
the transfer station (again, after
the first of the year) will be open
an hour earlier, from 8:00 AM-
3:00 PM.
Simultaneous to our budget
work, reps from the Village
Board and Town Board met
Town Supervisor Column
to discuss renewal of our five
year lease contract concern-
ing the community pool. The
Town Boa rd has agreed to
continue providing the insur-
ance, program, and personnel
for operation of the pool. The
Village Board will continue to
generously provide for utilities
and an $11,000 subsidy to assist
with chlorine/chemical purchas-
es. Both highway departments
work many hours to keep things
operating. The reason this en-
terprise works, in addition to the
cooperation between the village
and town, is that the private
LeRoy Community Pool Asso-
ciation continues to provide for
major repairs and replacements.
This is what makes an all ready
strong recreation program the
envy of the GLOW region. This
agreement renewal is good for
another five years.
Finally, the Board is review-
ing commentary from the first
public hearing on the proposed
revised Comprehensive Plan
and will, shortly, be placing a
final draft copy on our web site
for review prior to a final public
hearing. The goal is to adopt a
new Plan by the end of the year.
Thank you all and see you
Around Town.
