Happy Summer! The last couple of months have been some of the driest on record for our region - and as I’m writing this it looks like that trend will be continuing for the next couple of weeks. We have seen an increase in the use of the water fill station in front of the Highway Garage/Town Hall Complex. Please be aware that is available to all for use with your pets/livestock or if you just need additional water (cost is $1.00 for ~100 gallons, it is self-serve and takes bills and quarters). The Summer Rec program is at the end of its session - we had another great year of participation with over 35 kids attending the program that we partner with East Bloomfield on. The Town Board will be looking at ways to partner with the other school districts that serve our community for future programs. The Highway Garage/Town Hall Complex will shortly begin to see some much needed maintenance and repair. We will be starting on the Highway portion of the complex as we continue to evaluate the best way to provide the services that you, our residents, need from the Town. Remember, we are always looking for residents to assist us (please see the announcement elsewhere in this edition) on our Boards and also for potential committees. We are currently looking for members to fill spots on our Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee (CPIC) - whose primary focus will be looking at several specific short and long term actions and making recommendations to the Board on how to address them. The Town has over 20 residents who serve on the Planning and Zoning Boards, the CPIC and the Assessment Review Board—thank you to all of you that serve now or have served in the past!! The Town Board will soon begin working on the budget for next year, and I have seen many of the departments from the County submitting their initial budget requests through the committees that I sit on (Insurance, Health & Medical, and Public Safety). If you have any budget requests for the Town, please submit them as early as possible. Thank you to those who have attended our Town Board meetings over the last couple of months—your feedback is important to me and the Board as we work on the Town’s business—and if you have not been to a meeting in a while, please consider attending some Wednesday evening (2nd and 4th Wednesday @ 7:00PM). My door is open when I am in the office - stop in and visit if you have the chance. I can be reached at my office (585) 624-2461, via e-mail tcampbell@townofwestbloomfield.org, and also on Twitter and Facebook.
