Minutes of the meeting will be posted on the Town of Batavia Website Town Board Page.
A. Update on Water Consolidation
B. Town Hall Renovation:
- How do we get from brick and mortar thinking to next generation virtual Town Hall/ Operations Center?
- 2. Positives and negatives?
- 3. What is the future of the court system in upstate rural New York?
If the town is going to expect us to pay the exorbitant tax rates that we are paying when is the town going to do its job by enforcing codes. I can cite numerous code violations from multiple unlicensed vehicles on properties, unpermitted structures of multiple types,
sand pits being used as dumpsites, residential properties with many dozens of “stored” tractors,four wheelers and snowmobiles,
Hedgerows being used as dumpsites, large scale commercial enterprises on residential properties, residential garbage burning and the list is ever growing all while we have more people on town payroll than ever before.
I think it’s time we get something for our money.
