Newsletter April 2012
April 10, 2012 •· Trustees Peter Sidari (newly elected) and Fred Miller (re-elected) were sworn in on April 2nd. Congratulations to both. Former Trustee Jeannette Riley decided not to run for another term. We thank Jeannette for her service to the Village and wish her well. •· Fiscal 2013 budgeting process is underway. While we are working to minimize impact on property taxes there is some risk of an increase in excess of the NY State 2% cap. We have therefore enacted local legislation to allow this if necessary. There will be a public hearing for the tentative budget during a special Board meeting at 7PM on April 19th. The final budget is scheduled to be adopted on April 25th. •· Village & Town Comprehensive Plan Committee will hold a public hearing and informational meeting on Thursday, April 26th at 7:00pm at the Albion Town Hall on Clarendon Road. The Committee will present a draft of the proposed updated Comprehensive Plan. •· Albion Police Department will hold a public forum on Tuesday, April 24th at 7:00pm in the Albion Village Board Room. Please join Chief Nenni for an open discussion about our police department and its role in our community. •· DPW will conduct the first of two annual brush and leaf pick-ups during the weeks of April 16th & 23rd. Second pick-up will be in the fall. In the meantime brush and leaves, including branches up to four feet, may be disposed of in regular weekly trash collections.

•· The first round of funding from the NY Main Street grant has been announced. Eight downtown building projects will receive grant funds totaling $316,490. Applications for the remaining $78,510 to be awarded will be taken in July. The grant requires a match from building owners and thus will result in nearly $800,000 of investment in downtown buildings. The Town of Albion is lead agency for the grant. Albion Main Street Alliance is grant writer and administrator.
