Subject: Important Notice - Easement Signing for Water Project.
As you are aware, we are preparing for a major water project, which includes upgrading water lines throughout the village. In order to proceed with this project smoothly and efficiently, we need to obtain easement signatures for certain properties within the village. An easement is a legal agreement that allows the village to access and utilize a portion of private property for public use, specifically for the installation and maintenance of water infrastructure. This is a necessary step to ensure the success of the water project, which will ultimately benefit all residents by improving water quality and reliability. To facilitate the easement signing process, our municipal staff will be going door to door starting in the coming weeks to reach out to each household that requires an easement. We understand that your time is valuable, so we aim to make this process as convenient as possible for you. If your property requires an easement, and you are not available when staff visits your home, they will leave a letter on your door with instructions on how to proceed. We kindly ask that you contact us to schedule a suitable time for our staff to return if you are not available during their initial visit.
Additionally, for your convenience, we have a notary available at our village office at the Brown Mansion located at 216 brown Blvd, where you can visit us Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM to sign the easement documents. Please feel free to call before visiting to confirm that your property requires an easement and to make sure the notary is available the day you will be visiting at 315-782-7650, extension 1.
For those who do not reside on the property, but are responsible for signing the easement documents, we are happy to accommodate your needs. If you would like your form mailed or emailed to you, please contact us at [email protected] or 315-782-7650, extension 1. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated, as it will help us move forward with the water project in a timely manner. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the easement signing process or the water project itself, please do not hesitate to contact Mayor Connor at 315-408-6044.
Due to the deterioration of the Brown Mansion, the back porch has been closed off for the safety of our residents. Please do not tamper with these barricades and please keep children from climbing on the pillars. The Village is still in the process of obtaining funding in order to repair these issues and to keep the Mansion safe and in good repair for our residents. Please be patient with us, as this funding does take some time.
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE The Beautification Committee is made up of Village residents who volunteer their time to improve the appearance of the Village by planting and caring for flowers throughout the Village. Families, students and residents of all ages are welcome to volunteer. Any amount of time that you can volunteer if fully appreciated. If you have any questions, would like to become a part of the committee, or would like to donate, please contact the Village Office for more information at 315-782-7650. The Beautification Committee is in need of flower donations for 2023. If you would like to make a donation, please contact the Village office.
REPORTING POTHOLES Sun, rain, sleet, snow and ice are the forces of nature that can turn our increasingly crowded roadways from smooth to rough and tumble. How to stop the shake, rattle and roll created by a bumper crop of potholes every year? The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) can help you steer clear of these hazards with its year-round, toll-free hot line at 1.800.POTHOLE (1.800.768.4653) to report potholes on the state's highway systems, including the Thruway. The line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. www.dot.ny.gov/programs/pothole-rpt
