Summary: •
Village Highway – Makes up 44% of total Village Tax (FY14/15 Budget) –
The Village has historically provided services outside of the services provided by the Town • •
–
•
A special district could be formed Costs could be absorbed and paid for under the Town
Recreation –
•
Property within special districts (water/sewer) would become district responsibility Vacant land could be sold and returned to tax roles Village offices could be sold (assuming relocation into rehabilitated fire station) Property could be transferred to Town as agreed upon
Lighting – –
•
Town would absorb the Village Contract Fire Department would exist under the Town rather than Village or become its own District
Real Property – – – –
•
Some precedence set by the Village for O&M of Sidewalks Sidewalk O&M would be homeowner responsibility (as intended now)
Fire & Rescue ‐ $1.81 per $1,000 Assessed Value – Separate from Village Tax – –
•
Town would absorb O&M associated with Village Streets as well as revenues (i.e. CHIPS)
Sidewalks – –
•
Leaf disposal Brush removal
Costs would be absorbed by Town
Municipal Services Provided By Town –
No Change
27
Village Owned Culvert Often Referred to as “Bridge”
28
Village Owned Culvert • County Offer – Engineering, Equipment, & Labor in exchange for shared services from Town/Village – County has considered a box culvert type system that would structurally support/encapsulate existing structure – County has considered lengthening (along centerline of waterway) the culvert to provide adequate turning radius for large trucks
• Village/Town – Provide Materials (very preliminary estimate ~$300,000) • Town & Village – County Pay Back through shared service (i.e. Emergency Maintenance, Trucking, etc.). Both Municipalities would require a resolution authorizing the agreement between County and Village/Town 29
Hermon, NY Updates on Demographics and Socioeconomics: All calculations have been updated with current figures from St. Lawrence County Real Property office. There was not a significant change in the overall totals for parcels and assessed values. Updated presentation is available on the website. Clarified the issue regarding utility companies (such as Iroquois Gas) and their assessed values in the Town of Hermon. Utility companies are assessed by the value of the infrastructure they own within in the Town, but they do not own any real property (they have easements on property owned by others). The breakdown of assessed values for the utility companies is listed below and these values ARE included in the Total Assessed Values for the Town of Hermon: Utility Company Assessed Values in Town of Hermon Iroquois Gas Trans System

Village Owned Culvert Often Referred to as “Bridge”

Village Owned Culvert • County Offer – Engineering, Equipment, & Labor in exchange for shared services from Town/Village – County has considered a box culvert type system that would structurally support/encapsulate existing structure – County has considered lengthening (along centerline of waterway) the culvert to provide adequate turning radius for large trucks
• Village/Town – Provide Materials (very preliminary estimate ~$300,000) • Town & Village – County Pay Back through shared service (i.e. Emergency Maintenance, Trucking, etc.). Both Municipalities would require a resolution authorizing the agreement between County and Village/Town 29
