​SUPERVISOR'S MESSAGE

​

The question is about contention between the Town Government and various entities.  The process to bring all the groups mentioned back to a strong constructive working relationship is already underway. Answers in order:

 

The Highway department is doing much better under our new highway superintendent.  Sean Parslow is getting things back to normal using his job experience in the military to our benefit.  The change is good for Lima.  Initial contract negotiations with the Teamsters representing the 4 highway workers are ongoing.  Once they are completed, we will be back to a steady state.  There is no way to predict how long it will take to reach a deal.  The relationship there may seem contentious until the negotiations are completed.

 

The Ambulance is a unit of the Village Government, not the Town.  The current paid per diem staff controversy needs a plan signed off on by the Village Government for the Town to consider.  There is currently no plan.  We are stalled until there is one.  $141k of taxpayer funds needs a good plan.  Regardless, the Town will still be sending $20,402.25 to the Village for Ambulance Services in 2026.  That amount is the 3rd year payment of a 3-year contract.

 

The Library budget is currently set for $209,191.00 for 2026. The library board is working hard to keep the library viable.  We need more people coming in to use the facility.  Ebooks are very popular, but you can reserve them using your phone.  The Town has a large investment in the Library facility with a new insulated roof in 2019, energy saving measures this year and new carpet and paint inside.  Stop in and take a look.  Find out what the library can do for you and how you can support them.  Meeting your group of people?  You can book the Scutt room to use.  It is up to the public to use the facility.  We have a made a great space, invested the public's money - now it has to get utilized.
