WELCOME to the Supervisors Corner...

Welcome & Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your Town Supervisor. I am excited about the world of possibilities for our community. I believe that we, your town board, serve you, the entire community and NOT just a select few or special interest organizations.  I encourage your input and your criticism's as together we strive to build a stronger community!                    

We will be implementing some changes to the way we operate your community.  One of the first changes is that to be better able to serve you we will be going to a two (2) meeting a month format. We will be meeting on the second (2nd) and forth (4th) MONDAYS each month. I apologize in advance to the gun club members because of the conflict, however we need to do this.  

Our first monthly meeting will be a WORKING Committee meeting. This will give us a chance to discuss, examine & research issues, hash out problems or ideas, meet with our employees, superintendents, committee chairpersons to see what issues or suggestions they may have for our community and to formulate together the AGENDA items for the next meeting.  While like ALL of our meetings the public is both welcome and encouraged to attend please be aware that we will NOT be opening the privilege of the floor or taking questions from the public during this meeting. We also will NOT be voting or making any final decisions during this session.

Our second monthly meeting will occur on the 4th Monday of each month,  this will have the appearance and feel of the type of meeting most are used to. This will be our more formal board meeting where all the final decisions regarding the town government are decided. We are changing the format to make it easier for citizen involvement. I hope to be able to post each month BEFORE the meeting the AGENDA so that all will know what is upcoming.  We will be implementing a public forum at the end of the meeting allowing any citizen the opportunity to address your town board on any topic be it idea or gripe, for up-to a five (5) minute period. If you need longer than five minutes we encourage you to contact us to obtain a slot during our "Privilege of the Floor". We will be strictly adhering to the 5 minute time frame to allow all of our citizens the opportunity to be heard.

In closing - I am STRONGLY ENCOURAGING ALL CITIZEN'S TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH YOUR COMMUNITY! You are the shareholders and need to come forward to let us know about YOUR ideas or hopes for your town.  While I will not promise that we can or would act on every suggestion, what I can promise is that we will at least consider every comment made to us.  Remember, this is your town, your children's town,  your grandchildren's town .... together we can and will build a strong home base for the generations yet to come.

Sincerely,

Deborah Babbitt-Henry

Town Supervisor
