Update on the Lakeshore Sewer District #1 between Newco Drive and West Wautoma.

The bids for labor and material came in last Thursday on 7/7/22. After putting as many figures as we have right now together the numbers were $221,000 higher than what the overall project cost was. With all of the increases in material and labor, this was a better price than anticipated. The Town now has to figure out financing for the extra amount. The Town is pursuing the option to help monetarily with part of this increase and have the lakeshore residents pay for the rest.  I am trying to meet this week with the attorney, engineer, and the bond company, to put some figures together. The Town will then call a public hearing to bring this before the public. This is the most up-to-date information we have right now and will update you when there is more.

Late Fees for Dog Licensing

Posted January 21, 2021

At the January 11, 2021 Hamlin Town Board meeting, the Town Board adopted accruing late fees of $5.00 each month for dog licenses that are not renewed within 30 days of their annual renewal date. This will be effective beginning February 15, 2021.

The costs for dog renewals will remain the same. Unaltered dogs are $17 and Spayed/Neutered dogs are $9. The purpose of the late fees is to encourage timely renewals. Dog Licensing helps ensure that dogs are vaccinated against rabies. The Town of Hamlin considers rabies to be a serious public health issue.  The late fee on dog licenses is another tool to ensure that dogs are vaccinated and that vaccinations are kept current.

Governor Cuomo Announces $43 Million for Monroe County

I am very pleased to announce that the Town of Hamlin will receive $8.3 million from the Governor's REDI program. The hours and hours of meetings and phone calls have been sucessful in securing this very important funding for Hamlin. I am very happy to have accomplished this for the residents of the shoreline. This is the silver lining to the dark cloud.  

$7.9 million is for a sewer system that will include the entire lakefront from the State Park east to Townline Rd. providing public health protection, economic benifits in terms of property values and enhances water quality at our shoreline.  

$400,000 is for barrier bar installation at the terminus of Townline Rd to help maintain access, protect from wave action and enhance public safety for roads in 2 towns. 

Informational meetings, timelines, and other details will be coveyed shortly as the projects come together.
