SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 11/5/2021
First and foremost, I want to congratulate everyone that were successful in the recent town elections. I also want to extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to everyone that ran for office. Putting oneself out there in this time period we live is in not easy.
On town issues, I would like to remind everyone that the seasonal speed limit in the notch is at 45 for the winter as part of the Low Salt use study. Also, as Supervisor I have had to call the NYS Police on the construction traffic light not working correctly in the construction zone of the notch as well. With the snow here, hopefully the contractors will be wrapping up soon.
Please mark your calendars that Friday December 10th will be the town’s 14th annual Children’s
tion. The event will be similar to last year with the Fireworks being in town. Plans are to have a Christmas Parade again with a goody bag and stocking delivered by Santa and his entourage.
The Town continues to seek applicants for our Senior Citizen Bus Driver Position. We will continue to advertise the part time job and hope for the best.
Our Community is definitely starting to look very festive thanks to the efforts of the Parks Department. Currently we are right on track for getting our Holiday decorations up before the winter weather totally kicks in.
The Wilmington E.M. Cooper Memorial Public Library is asking area residents to take a brief survey about the library so the board can anticipate and meet the needs of the community. The survey can be found on the Library’s Facebook Page. The link is also at https://forms.gle/7MİY8RUIPUT4Y4Tu6
In my role as a County Supervisor, I have been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Adirondack Community Action Programs. “ACAP,” as it’s called, helps Essex County citizens with a wide variety of programs like Weatherization, Meals on Wheels, One Work Source and Head Start to name a few. I have been amazed at the amount of good work this organization does and look forward to being on the board.
We continue to work on implementing a system for working out the “logistics” of registering the short term rentals operating with the Town of Wilmington. With the enacting of Local Law #1 of 2021, the town now has the authority to require all short term rentals to register. I have been in contact with a company that will be presenting a proposal to the town board to do the initial registration.
That‘s all for this week my friends. See you around town. – Roy Holzer
