***Home Improvements***

Before you start any home improvement, you should contact the clerks office to see if a contractors permit is required. Contractors permit is $10.00 and can be picked up at Village Hall. Contractors will need to show proof of insurance.

Remember Swimming Pool Owners
New York State Law requires a 4 foot fence to be installed around your pool if it is 24 inches deep or deeper. Also if you had a pool installed after December 14, 2006, including the blow-up pools that are taken down and put up annually, you must have an alarm system and a building permit. Please check with our clerk at the Village Hall who can direct you to contact our codes officer.

Words from the Mayor

Greetings From Village Hall!

I hope this letter finds you well and looking forward to a wonderful Christmas season. First I want to thank you for the cards and encouragement I received during my recent heart problem. I especially thank our staff and board for their support. I feel stronger as the days go bye and hope to be back in the office this week.
What a summer and fall we have had. Major construction of Lowes and Applebee's are complete. St. James hospital is finishing the paper work to build a third story outpatient hospital at the Mercy Care site.

What a benefit this will be for our citizens to be able to go to that site for the most up to date procedures that we might require.
The fire hall is progressing well. I thank you for the very positive referendum we held in June. We should be under budget and hopefully we can bring the existing hall up to code. We are looking at a March finishing date.
As you know the board worked hard in this endeavor. No new taxes! We lowered our tax rate 34% from $5.55 per thousand to $3.60 per thousand. Hopefully, we have more good news as we begin to work on next years budget.

You may have noticed that some rental properties have been razed and new homes are being built. I am very happy about this and it will continue. We are presently in court with other properties. It does take time to follow court procedures.
Many of my goals for our Village have been reached. We added retail stores, a new fire hall and hopefully a new hospital. We are cleaning up the blight in some neighborhoods.
I will now focus on the reconstruction of Seneca Rd. and the addition of sidewalks, especially around the North Hornell school.

Please feel free to call my office at 327-7894 or my home 324-7214 with any concerns.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mayor Falci
