Notes<\/em> from the May 2016 Hamilton Town Council Meeting<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Hamilton<\/em>) The Hamilton Town Council was pleased to welcome two students from the BOCES\u00a0new vision class to the May meeting. Mayor McVaugh shared good news from the\u00a0Village of Hamilton, which is the recipient of a 2016 local government achievement\u00a0award for creating a local gas utility. McVaugh expressed thanks to Colgate for their\u00a0long-standing support for the project.<\/p>\n

Council member Holcomb reported that SOMAC has had a shift in personnel, with\u00a0Operations Manager, Kyle Sylvester now working Monday \u2013 Friday. This change in\u00a0scheduling allows 2 rigs to be available, making transfers once again possible and\u00a0generating more income to help offset the costs of operation.<\/p>\n

The Town Council had a work meeting on May 23 at 7 pm in the Town Office to review\u00a0the recently edited Comprehensive Plan. At this point, public review and community\u00a0comment is anticipated for late summer. Copies of the Comprehensive Plan will be\u00a0made available well before the public meeting, with details announced as the date\u00a0approaches.<\/p>\n

Work on the new Town Office at 38 Milford Street is moving forward. The Town Council\u00a0is working with architects Bell &amp; Spina to develop a cost effective renovation plan. The\u00a0goal is to complete\u00a0the project by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Councilmember Collins reported on ongoing consolidation efforts for the Town and\u00a0Village courts. By sharing support staff we anticipate savings for both municipalities.<\/p>\n

After a public hearing held by the Planning Board, the Town Council approved an\u00a0amendment to the Subdivision Regulations, originally adopted in 1988. The amendment\u00a0eliminates the 2-lot subdivision waiver. The action was taken to make all subdivisions\u00a0subject to the same scrutiny, and eliminate the creation of lots that do not comply with\u00a0the Town\u2019s current zoning laws.<\/p>\n

The Hamilton Town Council meets on the second Thursday of the month at the Town of\u00a0Hamilton office at 16 Broad Street in the Village of Hamilton at 6:30 pm. Our next\u00a0meeting is June 9 at 6:30 pm. We invite and encourage you to join us. For more information, visit www.townofhamiltonny.org.<\/p>\n
