<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;">Ontario County elections board warns of voter registration scam&nbsp;</h2>
By DAVID L. SHAW dshaw@fltimes.com Aug 31, 2023
CANANDAIGUA &mdash; Ontario County voters are being warned about a scam in which a person shows up at their door impersonating a Board of Elections staff member and asks questions about their voter registration &mdash; and may accuse them of committing crimes because their names allegedly appear in the statewide voter database more than once. In a statement released Tuesday by Elections Commissioners Albert Magnan and Mike Northrup, the Ontario County sheriff&rsquo;s office is aware of the potential for this activity. The commissioners said county voters should be aware that Board of Elections staffers do not engage in door-to-door investigations on voter registration. &nbsp;&ldquo;Any representation by a person or persons at your door claiming to be Board of Elections staff is false,&rdquo; the commissioners said. Magnan and Northrup said as the 2023 election campaign season approaches, voters may encounter people affiliated with political organizations, voting, or other issue specific groups seeking to provide them information or advocate on behalf of candidates or causes. They urged voters who encounter persons at their home who say they are members of the county Board of Elections staff to call 585-396-4005 or email <a href="mailto:boe@ontariocountyny.gov" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boe@ontariocountyny.gov</a>.

Ontario County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

**SPECIAL ATTENTION: The bridge spanning the NYS Thruway on Marbletown Road is being prepped for paving and is currently reduced to one lane traffic. The weather and availability of the paving company will be a factor for the completion of this project and possible bridge closures may occur. Phelps Town Supervisor Norm Teed is in communication with the NYS Thruway Authority and will provide updates as they become available.

<div id="project-description" class="">
Project Purpose
The project will determine the feasibility and any benefit to eliminating the existing grade-separated intersection of NYS Route 96 and NYS Route 14 (Rt. 96 and Rt. 14) in the Town of Phelps. The condition of the deck/ superstructure of the bridge have deteriorated to the point where attention is needed. This analysis will compare the life-cycle cost of fixing the existing infrastructure as it's currently constructed&nbsp;versus the life-cycle cost of an at-grade intersection.
This is the first round of public engagement. The goal is&nbsp;to introduce the project to the community and obtain input on the issues of existing conditions and needs, inventory findings, opportunities for both the travel needs and the future&nbsp;land use, and to seek local knowledge.&nbsp;
Come see us at the Phelps&nbsp;Sauerkraut Festival on Thursday, August 3rd.&nbsp; Talk with the project team at headquarters at&nbsp;the pavilion&nbsp;from 4 to 7 p.m.&nbsp; For questions about this project please contact Jody Binnix, GTC Program Manager at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:jbinnix@gtcmpo.org">jbinnix@gtcmpo.org</a>&nbsp;or by phone (585) 232-6420. <a href="https://publicinput.com/u0125" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://publicinput.com/u0125</a>

Requirements to Become an Assessor:
The assessor is an elected or appointed local government official. Their job is to estimate the value of each real property parcel within a county, city, town, or village. New York State Real Property Tax Law governs what an assessor does and how they must do it. State law also requires that assessors become certified and take specific training classes to learn how to do the job of the assessor properly. A person who isn&rsquo;t certified can be appointed or elected as an assessor, but they must complete the training within three years of taking office. 
The Job of the Assessor:
The assessor collects and maintains the physical inventory of properties in a municipality. Updating all property record cards by taking pictures and sketching properties. This inventory is needed to estimate the market value of all the properties. Assessors are trained to use three different approaches to estimating value to insure fair and equitable property values. These same three approaches are used worldwide by all property valuation professionals. 
Assessors also: 
&bull; Maintain the ownership records of all property. They record the deed information when a property is sold or changes ownership. 
&bull; In order to make sure the value estimates are correct, each year your assessor analyzes all of the properties in the municipality to determine which assessments need to be changed. 
&bull; Approve or deny real property tax exemptions. Sometimes that means the assessor must review a taxpayer&rsquo;s personal information (for example: income, social security disability, and veterans&rsquo; service information). New York has about 200 different property tax exemptions. 
&bull; Work with planning officials, zoning officials, town engineers, attorneys, governmental tax departments, realtors, appraisers, elected officials at all levels, school officials, and the general public on projects that influence property values in their specific municipalities. 
&bull; Attend all meetings of the Board of Assessment Review (Grievance Day). 
&bull; Determine and add special district unit charges (for example: sewer, trash,
brush removal, lighting, drainage, hydrant, libraries, water service, etc.). 
&bull; Meet with property owners to discuss their assessments. 
How is all of this information used? 
As noted above, the assessor keeps a current record of the physical description (or inventory) and value estimate of every parcel. This is called the property assessment roll. It is available to the public. That roll is given to the town or village board, city council, or county legislature members. They use it to help develop an annual budget. That&rsquo;s why the goal of the assessor is to make sure the market value of each property is fair, so that each taxpayer pays their fair share of the tax burden. 
The Bottom Line: 
Does the Assessor Raise or Lower Your Taxes? No! While you may often see the job title of &ldquo;Tax Assessor,&rdquo; there is no such position defined by New York State law. Your elected officials who create and vote on budgets are responsible for tax rates and levies.

They maintain 97 miles of paved roads, and 1-1/2 miles of dirt roads. In addition, they are responsible for plowing and roadside mowing for 22 miles of county roads.
This is the largest town in Ontario County.
The Town of Phelps highway crew also helps other towns and villages with their large projects, such as chip sealing, paving, etc.
Our Winter Responsibilities:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li5">Plow and salt roads &ndash; We have 6 trucks in operation, which takes between 2 to 3 hours to complete the route.</li>
<li class="li5">Maintain and repair equipment</li>
<li class="li5">Patch potholes</li>
<li class="li5">Remove trees/branches that pose a threat to the public </li>
</ul>
Our Summer Responsibilities:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li5">Paving roads</li>
<li class="li5">Oil and Stone roads</li>
<li class="li5">Road patching</li>
<li class="li5">Ditch cleaning</li>
<li class="li5">Cut shoulders</li>
<li class="li5">Broom roads</li>
<li class="li5">Installation or replacement of Road Signs</li>
<li class="li5">Installation or replacement of culvert pipes</li>
<li class="li5">Tree and brush removal</li>
<li class="li5">Road Striping </li>
</ul>
Please Note the Following Safety Issues:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li5">Do not follow the plow trucks too closely, or attempt to pass them. Do your best to be seen by the plow truck operator.</li>
<li class="li5">Please do not park on the street when there is snow to be plowed. No parking ordinance in effect November 1st to April 15th.</li>
<li class="li5">Do not shovel or plow snow into the road. It is illegal per New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law. Section 1219 (a) states: No person shall throw or deposit upon any highway any glass bottle, glass, nails, tacks, wire, cans, snow or any other substance likely to injure any person, animal, or vehicle upon such highway.</li>
<li class="li5">Make sure mailboxes are installed properly. The majority of mailboxes struck by plow trucks are not properly installed. The post office has literature on mailbox installation. We try hard not to hit mailboxes. Keep in mind the wingspan on a plow measures approximately 16 feet. The travel lane of a town road is approximately 11 feet wide.</li>
<li class="li5">Allow yourself extra time for travel. Be aware of black ice and drift areas. If the road looks wet, it may be ice.</li>
<li class="li5">Do not follow cars too closely.</li>
<li class="li5">Work Zones: Please slow down when approaching a work zone. Workers cannot always anticipate someone flying through the zone at 60 MPH. SLOW DOWN!!</li>
