EDEN TOWN BOARD MEETING

September 14, 2022 – 7pm

Meeting will be held at the Eden Town Hall and through Go To Meeting at https://meet.goto.com/828538957

You can also dial in using your phone: (408) 650-3123 Access Code: 828-538-957

Agenda can be found at https://edenny.gov/agendas-minutes/

The Town of Eden is hiring a part-time Buildings and Grounds Maintenance person. This is a year-long position. The job includes cleaning of town buildings, maintenance, repair and up keep of parks, cemeteries, sports fields and other town properties. Candidates should possess excellent communication, time management, technical and mechanical skills. Interested persons should submit a letter of interest and resume by Friday, September 9, 2022, to the Town Supervisor’s Office, 2795 East Church Street, Eden, NY 14057 or email Marlene at marlene@edenny.gov.

The Erie County Department of Environment & Planning has announced upcoming citizen forums to help determine the needs and priorities of low- and moderate-income residents residing within the Erie County Community Development (“CD”) Block Grant Consortium. The consortium is comprised of 34 municipalities, excluding the City of Buffalo, the Towns of Amherst, Cheektowaga, Hamburg and Tonawanda and their Villages; these municipalities receive their own federal funding. The information gathered at the forums will assist the County’s Department of Environment and Planning in preparing the 2022 Community Development application to the US Department of Housing & Urban Development.

The 3 public forums are scheduled for:

•          Tuesday, September 14 at 7:00 PM at the City of Tonawanda, Court Room, 200 Niagara Street

•          Wednesday, September 15 at 6:30 PM at the Lackawanna Public Library, 560 Ridge Road

•          Thursday, September 16 at 7:00 PM at the Village of Springville Public Safety Campus, 65 Franklin Street

“By participating in these public forums residents are able to advocate for what is important to them, add their own voice to the community discussion, and let officials know what they value right in their own neighborhoods,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “Citizen input can impact how our communities look and function for years to come so it is important that we hear from as many people as possible, and I encourage residents to attend and make their voices and concerns heard.”

These public forums provide an opportunity to increase citizen awareness and participation in the Consortium’s federal Community Development program by allowing the general public, as well as agency advocates for low- and moderate-income individuals, the elderly and handicapped to offer suggestions and information on the needs of these populations to County and municipal officials. Housing needs, such as affordable housing and housing for special populations (the homeless, the elderly, disabled persons, persons living with AIDS, and public housing residents), and community and economic development needs, such as transportation, jobs, community facilities and infrastructure (sewer, water and roads), will be prime topics for discussion at the forums.

These forums will also serve as countywide public meetings for Erie County’s Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant and HOME Investment Partnership programs.  Each will cover four areas: Housing, Public/Human Services, Community/Neighborhood Development, and Economic Development Needs. There will also be a review of CD Program Performance, as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Information obtained from the meetings will be used to formulate the Erie County Consortium’s Community Development 2022 Action Plan.  The update process will occur in early 2022.

Trick or Treat will be held in the Town of Eden on October 31st from 6pm – 8pm.

On Wednesday night the Eden Town Board set a public hearing for Local Law 3-2021, establishing the office of a single appointed assessor pursuant to Real Property Tax Law, §328. The public hearing will be on October 27, 2021 at 7:20pm.  The legal notice will be posted in the Town’s legal paper, The Hamburg Sun. I would like to give some factual information as to why this decision is being considered.  First, two out of the three current Eden elected assessors support a decision in favor of moving to an appointed assessor.

The Town of Eden will be the last town to move from a board of elected assessors to an appointed assessor in Erie County.  In fact, less than 6% of NYS towns remain with an elected board of assessors.  That is less than 60/908 NYS towns (https://www.tax.ny.gov/research/property/assess/training/qualcert/threememberbd.htm). There are many reasons that towns move in this direction which I will highlight but the main reason is that it is good and efficient government. It allows for a consistent approach to assessing as well as a longer term of office (6 years vs. 4 years) which assists with qualification and continuing education.  An appointed Assessor has a mandated requirement of continuing education where this is optional for elected assessors.  There is an overall savings to the town which results in more efficient practices.

This decision has been contemplated for years and as mentioned earlier has the support of the majority of the current Eden Town Board of Assessors.  If residents have questions or concerns in regard to this or anything else pertaining to our town, the Eden Town Board is always available to discuss.

Reminder: October 15, 2021 is the last day to pay Eden Central School Tax without penalty. The Town Clerk’s Office is open October 14th from 8am-4pm and October 15th from 8am-6pm. The office can be reached at 992-3408 Option 4.
