2010 was an exciting year around our community of Penfield with the celebration of our bicentennial and the accomplishment of many projects that included opening of the community victory garden; completion of Harris Whalen Lodge renovations; cleaning more than eight miles of drainage area, including more than 5.5 miles of Commission Ditch; expansion of PCTV WebTV and social media; completion of several NYSERDA energy grant projects; and much more.

As we head into 2011, the Town Board has identified several projects and programs to help keep Penfield on the leading edge in many areas. Priorities include actively participating in the Phase II Storm Water Regulations (especially ponds); environmental clean up of Town-owned properties; completion of a wind and solar energy ordinance; begin implementation of the Comprehensive Plan recommendations; expanding the use of communications media to keep residents informed on all issues; and dedication of incentive zoning funds to purchase open space and/or development rights for future generations.

The Town Board is committed to keeping Penfield Town taxes one of the lowest rates in the County while maintaining services. Additionally, we will work with our County, State and Federal legislators to help reduce mandates and to encourage government reform at all levels. Government does not have all the answers to all the questions! As we have been doing, we will continue to look at everything we do to improve communications and services while reducing spending and cutting costs for our residents.

You, the entire Community of Penfield, must be engaged at all levels: with open and regular communications; by becoming involved with boards and committees; through coaching and guiding us on issues that are important to you and your families; and by identifying what we can do together to make Penfield an even more desirable community than it is today!

If at any time you have a questions or a concern, please call, drop me an email, or stop by the Town Hall, the door is always open. I look forward to serving you and your families for 2011 and beyond.

2011 Supervisors Tentative Budget
The 2011 Supervisor’s Tentative Budget, summarized in the attached, proposes no tax increase for 2011. The property tax rate will remain at $2.64. A major impact on 2011 expenses is the full funding of the retirement cost at 15% of salary, a 13% increase in the medical insurance cost, and using $80,000 to fund the general reserve fund for future upkeep and maintenance of our town buildings. All departments have cooperated in controlling expenses, and with growth in the property tax assessment of 1 %, the Tentative Budget will adequately fund operations.
