Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo and many members of the NYS Legislature are proposing a cap on property taxes for all school districts and local governments (counties, towns, villages, and fire districts), set at the inflation rate or two percent, whichever is lower. Residents will retain local control and are empowered to override the cap with a 60 percent majority vote when an alternative proposal serves the best interests of the community.
The property tax cap, if adopted, will force governments to either cut services, share or consolidate. That's why the work session on Tuesday morning is so important.

LIBRARY HEATING PROBLEMS UPDATE--DISCUSSION TUESDAY AT 12:30 pm, WORK SESSION WE HAVE IDENTIFIED PROBLEM WITH UNIT SERVING CHILDREN'S SECTION
The Children's library at the library has been closed because of heating problems. We are working hard trying to fix the heating problem. We plan to hire an independent professional engineer to fully evaluate THE mechanical system from both the design and installed conditions to advise the town why we are continuing to have problems at our new library.
At this time, the problem with the unit serving the Children’s section is identified and parts are expected very soon. Additionally, technicians are scheduled to meet Tuesday at the Library to review operating conditions of another unit that provides heat to most of the library to trouble shoot a condition that is causing it to shut-down at times. The Town Board will discuss at our work session tomorrow at 12:30 PM. Meeting will be televised. I was at the library today and apologize to parents and children for the inconveniences they have experienced.
