Top issues during term (20)
Zoning Code Overhaul Underway
Funded by a New York State grant; no direct local cost was discussed.
Accessory structure height regulations
Hoag Lane Drainage District
Only lot owners in the subdivision would pay the annual district fee — earlier drafts reportedly showed $7,500 per parcel, later revised to roughly $400 per unit.
Woodland Hills stormwater violations and stop work order
The town has spent significant highway department hours cleaning mud from drains, and plans to bill the developer through a new drainage district.
Town Facility and Public Engagement Project
Unknown — the facilities project's scope and cost remain under study.
Hoag Lane Drainage Violations
The town has spent significant highway and staff time on cleanup and oversight, which it hopes to charge back to the developer.
Planning board submittal deadlines and agenda process
Could save developers time and money by reducing repeat appearances before the board.
Town health insurance switch to Tompkins County consortium
Monthly premiums actually dip slightly — singles drop about $14 and families about $25 from 2026 rates — easing cost pressure on the town and its employees.
Highway department project costs
About $371,825 total, both budgeted; the truck came in $12,558.82 under budget.
Proposed Cedar Bay pocket community
Homes would be priced around $200,000, expanding affordable ownership options in town.
Deer management program expansion
Program costs shared equitably among the participating municipalities for 2026.
Bowman Road family subdivision and ADU alternative
Enables the sale of a 2.3-acre parcel from a 61-acre property.
Muirfield Drive stormwater improvement project
$372,000 contract with IDH LLC.
Police department building lease with Village of Fayetteville
A modest videographer budget is contemplated; any facility solution remains undetermined.
Fire/EMS District Consolidation Study
A unified district would redistribute fire/EMS costs more evenly among taxpayers across different current tax rates.
Zone change at 4555 Pompey Center Road
Single-family homes on large lots would add modestly to the tax base without the density of apartments.
Town Hall and Police Station Facility Study
$2,000 consultant contract.
Property Assessments and Taxes
Could shift some property tax burden if a broad exemption is adopted; current town exemption levels already reduce affected veterans' bills by thousands.
Genesee Street/Vermont Street business district planning study
Grant-funded planning study only; no construction spending yet.
Town PUD law overhaul and Burdick/East Genesee corridor study
The town hopes to win state money, possibly for sidewalk connections along the corridor.
