Snowfall is still a little below average, but with more than 30” in February we have almost caught up. We appreciate the work of our Highway Department! A few Highway team members have been impacted by COVID, so the remaining members are covering multiple shifts. The town is divided into three routes, each of which takes about four hours to plow, depending on the weather.

Happy New Year! Be positive; test negative. We will get through this eventually. For now, stay safe: wash your hands, wear a mask and keep your distance from people not in your ‘pod’. For current information about testing and vaccines go to https://covid19.ongov.net/.

Here are some of the initiatives and decisions the Town Board made in 2020. More to come in 2021!

The revised commercial zoning code was enacted at the December 2nd Town Board meeting. Many thanks to Councilor Elaine Denton for her detailed review of the draft.

The public hearing for the proposed Noise Ordinance has closed. Councilor John Deer and Supervisor Ed Theobald met with the three Village Mayors. The draft ordinance will now be debated by the three Villages…

Updates on the budget, noise ordinance, commercial zoning, Salt Springs water district and more.

There is a lot going on at the Town of Manlius.

You may sign up for emails on the Town website regarding Board agendas, Planning Board and ZBA agendas and other information of interest to you.

‘Special Districts’ are a thing in local government you may not have heard about in the past. There may be special districts for lighting, sidewalks, drainage, fire protection, water or other infrastructure that benefits some residents but not all residents. In these instances, only those residents who receive the benefit pay for the infrastructure.

Check out all the updates from the Town Board. There are so many ways to get involved by sharing your concerns and support.

Town of Manlius seeks your input as the comprehensive planning begins and for the public safety advisory committee. Updates on many zoning applications in this month’s councilor contemplations.
