Reports of Departments:
Dog Control Office – Nick Astafan, Report of February 2022 activity was provided to the Town Board prior to the meeting. Discussion was held on a letter sent to the Lewis County Humane Society (LCHS) by Supervisor Doyle on behalf of the Town Board. The letter requested that the LCHS consider changing their agreements with the Towns to decrease the number of days that dogs are held before being adopted from ten (10) days to five (5) days, include more language stating that a dog cannot be released to the owner until a valid license is produced by the owner except in the case of a medical reason that would cause the dog to be euthanized. Atty. Ned Merrell responded to Supervisor Doyle for LCHS. Atty Merrell explained that if the days were decreased from ten (10) to five (5) the fee charged to the towns (currently $10.00 per day) would need to increase to cover the necessary expenses of the shelter. Discussion held. No action.
Zoning & Planning: The Planning Board meeting in February was cancelled due to lack of applications.
ZEO Lloyd Woodruff’s Zoning Report for January 2022 was provided to the Town Board prior to the meeting. A discussion was held on the potential for hiring a new deputy for the position so ZEO Woodruff can work with that person and begin training them. Supervisor Doyle will contact current Deputy ZEO Kevin Gaines to see if he is interested.
Assessor’s Report: Assessor William Vargulick discussed an issue with the AGED Exemption scale that was adopted in October of 2021 by the Town Board. In that scale the limits on income were improperly applied. Lewis County Real Property notified Town Clerk Prudence Greene about the error. Discussion held.
Councilman Wadsworth offered a resolution, seconded for adoption by Councilman Jones as follows:
Resolution 41 of 2022: Aged Exemption income Guidelines for Sliding Scale
Whereas the Town of Denmark Town Board was informed that the previously adopted resolution 94 of 2021 exceeded income guidelines established by New York State Real Property Tax Law 467, and
Whereas the Town of Denmark Town Board recognizes that low-income seniors can face financial hardships paying their annual property tax bills, and the Town of Denmark Town Board wishes to correct its previous action;
The Town of Denmark Town Board hereby rescinds and replaces previously adopted Resolution 94-2021 as follows:
Whereas the State of New York allows municipalities to offer certain exemptions, the Town of Denmark Town Board does hereby increase the income levels for the AGED Exemption for each level of the AGED Exemption on the sliding scale utilized by Lewis County in the calculation of Town of Denmark property taxes.
Therefore, the following scale should be used by Lewis County in the calculation of Town of Denmark tax on parcels that qualify for the AGED Exemption:
