Greetings:

We have been enjoying some wonderful early fall weather this past week.  With it comes a reminder that our fall cleanup day is scheduled for October 4 from 9 am to 4 pm.  As always, we will have 5 dumpsters for regular items not accepted at the recycling dumpsters or the compactor. Unfortunately, we will not be accepting mattresses or box springs, as the cost has escalated to $150 each. Additionally, we will have a dumpster for metal.

​

While you are bringing items that day, why not plan to take home some delicious chicken from the Scipio fire department? They will begin dispensing the dinners around 11 am, and reservations are suggested by calling Wayne Pettit at 315-730-8887.

 

I trust you are enjoying their nice new sign, which was purchased through a grant.  Tammy Pettit David is doing a great job of keeping it current and informative.

​

Two weeks later on October 18, there will be an electronics recycling day where items can be taken to the county highway building on Long Hill Road just east of Venice Center.  Drop-offs can be made between the hours of 10 and 1.

​

Additionally, there will be a hazardous household waste event on October 25 from 9-12:30 at 7413 County House Road in Auburn.  Registration is required and opens on September 19.

​

While we are accustomed to a lot of truck and agricultural traffic most of the year, it will increase as the harvesting of corn silage begins.  Please be cautious, slow down, and pass only when it is safe.

​

We are working on the town budget, which will be presented to the town board prior to the October 8 meeting for their review.  If you would like to see a copy of that proposal prior to the meeting, let me know and I can email a copy to you. 

The public meeting and final vote will be held at the November 12 meeting.

​

Since we no longer mail newsletters to our residents, this is the method for communication.  Please tell your family, friends and neighbors to go to “townofscipio.com” and subscribe to receive these town news blasts. At the bottom of the main page on the town’s website is where you enter the information so you can be more expeditiously informed of updated information.

​

We are also happy to announce that, effective October 1, Jay Franklin has been appointed our new town assessor.  Jay serves Tompkins County in that capacity and along with his able assistant, Irene Kehoe, he will be serving Venice and Scipio along with Genoa which he has served for the past several years.  His office hours will be on the fourth Thursday of every month from 4-7:30.

​

As always, email me or call with any concerns or questions.

Respectfully submitted,

Gary Mutchler

Scipio Town Supervisor
