Town of Jay – The Town of Jay’s 2013 Tax Levy, amount to be raised by property taxes, will be discussed on November 14th, 2012 at the 6:30pm Public Hearing to be held at the Town of Jay Community Center Town Board Meeting Room with a Special Town Board Meeting to follow at 7pm in anticipation of passing the proposed budget(s).
This year, the Town of Jay Board will determine which Preliminary Budget to Adopt, Option #1 or Option #2.
The Town of Jay, in conjunction with the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance Service and the Town of Black Brook, hosted a “Public Information Session” on October 25th, 2012 to discuss the proposed 2013 Au Sable Forks Ambulance Budget Contract between the Towns of Jay and Black Brook.
Numerous residents from Jay and Black Brook were in attendance, to express their feelings in favor or opposed to the proposed Au Sable Forks Ambulance Contract increase of $85,351. The increase would allow the Ambulance Squad to provide 24/7 coverage, which seems to be in demand. However, this increase will affect both Town’s 2013 Budget.
The proposed increase to the Ambulance Contract would increase the Town of Jay’s Tax Levy 4.82% in 2013 and without the increase; the Levy would only increase 1.53%.
In order to accept the proposed budget that includes the Ambulance Contract increase, the Town will be holding a Public Hearing at 6pm, November 8th, 2012 to authorize the Town of Jay Board to Override the Tax Cap, if indeed it is needed.
“Supervisor Douglas asked that I prepare (2) Preliminary Budget options for our Town Board to discuss at the Public Hearing on November 14th, 2012,” said Susan Richards. Richards further stated, “Option #1 includes the proposed increase of $85,351 to the Ambulance Contract and Option #2 is without the increase, remaining the same as last year.”
The 2013 Budget includes three water districts, the Au Sable Forks Sewer District, the Au Sable Forks Ambulance (which serves the entire town under a contract) the General Fund, the Highway Fund and two libraries. Three Fire Districts are included on our 2013 Budget Analysis and Tax Impact, but they are separate entities and file their own Annual Financial Statement separate from the Town.
See below our Special Districts and the proposed Tax Levy Difference for 2013. The tax rate for each individual tax payer varies depending on which water, sewer, or fire district they reside in.

Supervisor Douglas said, “I feel that we the Town Board and Budget Officer have put together a very frugal and financially sound budget for 2013.” Douglas further stated, “Town Officials, HWY/DPW Director Chris Garrow and I have worked together under tough conditions to offset the budget while still trying to recover physically, financially and emotionally from Irene. Our employees have seen their first raise in three years!”
Although the Town of Jay is receiving funding assistance from FEMA and NY State through Project Worksheet documentation submitted, there are still some costs that just aren’t covered. Some expenses don’t fall under their eligibility guidelines. For example, when the Town had to borrow short term Bond Anticipation Notes for $1 Million each, the interest on each BAN was $20,900. This cost times two will be absorbed by the Town. For approximately every $16,000 in the Town Budget, is an increase of 1% on the tax levy. Therefore, the BAN interest alone equates to over 2%.
Douglas further elaborated; ”Some of the significant impacts on our Town Budget include employer costs such as New York State Retirement and rising health care costs.” New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced in August of 2012 that the Fiscal Year 2013-14 average contribution rate for the Employee Retirement System (ERS) will increase from 18.9% of salaries to 20.9%. In 2007, the Town of Jay’s annual retirement premium was $49,372.00. 2013’s is projected to be $115,791.00. This unfunded mandate has increased 134% in just five years!
Supervisor Douglas said in his opinion, “New York State made unwise decisions when they relinquished the 3% employee contribution after 10 years of service, as well as unwise decisions investing employee stocks in unstable funds.”
Health Insurance Rates are expected to exceed 10% this year as well. In just the last five years alone, our premium for our active employees has increased approximately 60%.

Tuesday, November 20, 2012, is Emergency Preparedness Day for Lake Placid Central School’s students. It is also the last day of school before Thanksgiving Break.
All students in the middle/high school will be dismissed at 9:50 a.m. and the elementary school will be dismissed at 10:30 a.m. This will give parents an opportunity to practice making arrangements for the care of their children during the normal school day in the event that there would be an emergency and the school would have to dismiss early.
School districts are required by New York State to hold Emergency Preparedness drills so that parents, staff and students can develop a contingency plan.

Draft Saranac Lake Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail Master Plan Released
Public meeting scheduled for Tuesday, November 20th
SARANAC LAKE – The Village of Saranac Lake Healthy Infrastructure Advisory Board announced today the release of the Draft Saranac Lake Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail Master Plan. It is available online for viewing at the Village Offices and online at www.saranaclakeny.gov.
The plan catalogs existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and existing trails. It also makes recommendations for improvements to existing infrastructure, new infrastructure improvements, and programs that help promote safe and enjoyable walking and biking. Community Development Director Jeremy Evans said, “The Saranac Lake community has tremendous trail assets and is, by its historic compact nature, very walkable. The purpose of this plan is to highlight our existing assets and make recommendations for connections that will link all of these assets together. We need to have a vision for seamless bicycle, pedestrian, and trail networks and start working to make it a reality.”
The Village will introduce the plan at a public information meeting on Tuesday, November 20th from 6-8PM in the John Black Room at the Saranac Lake Laboratory, 89 Church Street in Saranac Lake. Representatives from different organizations involved in developing or maintaining trail networks in the community will also be on hand to highlight their work and provide brief updates on their efforts. The public is invited to attend to learn about the plan, ask questions, and provide comments. Feedback received will be incorporated in the final draft of the plan.
Comments and questions regarding the plan will be accepted until Friday November 30th and should be directed to Jeremy Evans, Community Development Director at 891-4150 ext. 235 or comdev@saranaclakeny.gov.
Funding for the project was provided by a $40,000 New York State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant. The Village hired Alta Planning and Design to work with the Advisory Board to develop the plan.

Village to Salute Red Storm Football Team
Mayor Clyde Rabideau will issue a mayoral proclamation saluting the Saranac Lake Central School Red Storm Football Team at its regular Monday night meeting in the Village Hall, which starts at 5:30 PM, for winning its third straight Class C title in Section 7.
Rabideau said, “Our local high school football players have consistently performed well each game, heavily outscoring their opponents and, for the third straight year, won the Class C crown in the section, but more importantly, they’ve exhibited outstanding sportsmanship and represented our community in a very positive light. They are tremendous ambassadors of the Capital of the Adirondacks.”
The Red Storm Football team competed an undefeated regular season in league play this fall and went on to win a third-straight Section VII-X Class C title. The team recently placed 15 of its members on the First Team of the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference All Stars, with Seniors Matt Phelan named Offensive Player of the Year and Michael Burpoe named Defensive Player of the Year.

Village Set to Welcome New Biotech Company
Saranac Lake will officially welcome its newest corporate citizen and biotech company, Active Motif, at 6 pm, December 4th, with a reception and ribbon-cutting event which will be held at its 21 Main Street location.
This new Active Motif site is in the former “water building” and is leased from the village after having undergone extensive renovations over the last 6 months.
Active Motif follows nearby biotech, Myriad/RBM, which opened last June, into Saranac Lake’s new “Biotech-Cluster,” which is also comprised of nearby Trudeau Institute and Bionique.
Mayor Clyde Rabideau commented, “This emerging industry offers good-paying, sustainable jobs to our Adirondack region as well as a large and positive presence in our downtown.”
The Village of Saranac Lake was recognized earlier this year by the New York Conference of Mayors for developing its biotech-cluster and garnered the first place Local government Achievement Award for Economic Development.
Rabideau said, “We’re now poised to go after other biotechs and bring them into our Saranac Lake community in the years to come.”
The public is invited and encouraged to attend the welcoming event—at no charge—by making reservations with the village Community Development office, at 891-4150.
The cost for the reception is entirely underwritten by Bernier and Carr, the renovation project engineering company, Integrated Rigging and Contracting, the project’s general contractor and Murray Electric, the project’s electrical contractor.
