Town Projects

Councilman Lonneville next read the following statement:

I would like to clear up some of the misinformation that is going around on social media about how the Town Board is misusing taxpayer dollars.

For those of you who have lived in Marion the past 7 years I hope you have noticed the positive projects that have improved our Hamlet, Town Park and more all based on the suggestions and goals in the community Comprehensive Plan which was updated in 2017.

Completed Town wide water projects Installed new infrastructure and paved the Municipal lot next to the school.

How about the Town Hall upgrades using reserve funds, CDBG funding and ARPA funding.

Set up Town IT system to get information out to the community

Town website, Times of Wayne County,Community calendar.

There was the Mill St. upgrade project in conjunction with the County, WCW&SA and RG&E funded by CDBG funding.

We worked with developer Tom Salviski on obtaining the RestoreNY Grant for $266,400 to update the facades on his buildings in the Hamlet. We applied for the NYS Main St. Grant for $344,000 and the GVRR Grant for $50,000 to do Town Hall renovations which we did not get. We also applied for a DASNY Grant for $50,000 to do museum and sidewalk work, however, those funds were canceled by the State. We continue to work with Tom Salviski and Chrissy Nelson to bring new businesses to Marion. Converted Town wide street lights to new LED lighting. This is part of the Clean Energy Program and is a great cost savings to our residents. We did additional sidewalk replacements using CDBG and ARPA funding.

We did drainage work and paved the walking path at the Town Park using ARPA funding.

We updated playground equipment, benches, baseball fencing and security cameras at the Town Park using ARPA funding. At this time we have finished the Main Pavilion renovations using reserve funding. What a beautiful lodge we have for Marion.

Worked with developer Brad Person on obtaining the Seneca Foods processing property and starting up “Spacemaker Marion” a state of the art warehousing facility. Current tenants are Mott’s, Waterloo Container and Seneca Foods.

Brad also purchased the Seneca Foods Corporate office building. The basement is used for Seneca Foods main IT system. The remaining office space is available for lease.

Currently working with Aaron Lewis from Nutrien Ag to obtain property to expand the Town Park for the tractor pulls. Need to install lighting and guard rails due to the public safety issue. Replaced the cemetery garage roof with ARPA funds.

We did museum ADA Handicap work using CDBG funding, construction work using ARPA funding, Town funding and many private donations.

We also did pump station work at the Sewer Plant using ARPA funding.

We are currently part of a major Waste Water Treatment Plant project with Palmyra, Macedon and Walworth costing over one hundred million dollars which will be a benefit for each Town.

The Highwy Dept. and Drainage Committee continue to do annual drainage projects.

We are now in the process of developing plans as we take over the cemetery.

How about our new businesses in Town?

Dutchland Foods, Jemstar, Nutrien Ag expansion, Lollipops & Polkadots, Morgan Silco photography, Casa Mexicana, Pawsome Grooming and recently Love Handles Eatery

Plus all of our other businesses and farmers.

The Town also has many events for our community throughout the year.

Memorial Day Parade and ceremony Town wide garage sale

American Legion benefit raffle Music in the Fireman’s Park

Pioneer Gas Engine show and tractor pull, Classic car show, Fall tractor pull,Lawn tractor pull, Haunting in the Hamlet cemetery walk, Fire Dept. Christmas parade.

With that I hope this helps clarify all the positive things we are doing in Marion for all the naysayers and those that have been calling Town Board members names on their social media pages.

Comp Plan

Councilman Lonneville next stated he was happy that Supervisor Johnson had a one year plan but the Town of Marion has a comprehensive plan and should be followed.

Concessions

A discussion took place regarding concessions during baseball/softball and soccer recreation seasons. Kathy Cauwels suggested that Mark’s Pizzeria be contacted to see if they were available for handing out pizza. Supervisor Johnson stated she would work with the coordinators with each recreation sport and see what is needed and what the coordinators would like to do. The Town Board suggested calling food trucks to see if they were available for this event leaving the main pavilion unused. Ashley Tack stated that the baseball/softball program starts in two weeks. Would Mark’s Pizzeria be willing to commit to selling pizza two nights a week? Ms. Cauwels next stated that last year a staff member sold concessions and worked for the Town of Marion. Ms. Cauwels stated that this can’t be done again this year. Supervisor Johnson stated that maybe the Town of Marion should purchase concessions and sell them. Supervisor Johnson also stated that in January 2025, RFP’s should be sent out for concessions so it’s fair for everyone.

Live Streaming Board Meetings

Supervisor Johnson stated this has been a discussion for a long time. She next asked if the Town Board was comfortable with live streaming meetings. Councilman Lonneville asked how much was the equipment going to cost? Councilman Cramer asked who was be running the equipment and will each town meeting be required to use it such as Planning Board and Zoning Board? Councilwoman Taber stated who’s responsibility will it be to make sure the meetings are recorded and what is the retention period on the video meeting files? Town Clerk Heidi Levan stated that the all recorded meetings have a 10 year retention file and must be stored at the Town level not just on a cloud server. Supervisor Johnson also stated that the recreation program that she wanted to purchase called CivilRec also has the ability to record meetings and store them. Supervisor Johnson also stated that she is very tech savvy and is willing to record the meetings herself. The Town Board asked for equipment pricing and is willing to discuss it again in the future.

Town Business: None

Citizens Comments:

John Lonneville spoke first. Mr. Lonneville stated that in the past at the Marion High School conessions were done by a booster club and then Varsity club after that. The German Club now runs the concession stand at the Highschool. Would they be interested in running concessions at the Town Park? Next Mr. Lonneville stated that live streaming in the court room would be great but the court room should be renovated first and recording equipment could be added at the time of renovations. Next Mr. Lonneville stated that the comprehensive plan needs to be done and is a serious matter. Lastly Mr. Lonneville addressed a few people in attendance of the meeting. He told them to stop talking as it was very disruptive and they were acting like 5^th grade students.

Marge Erb spoke next. Ms. Erb stated she has lived in the Town of Marion since 1954 and feels that the information coming from Supervisor Johnson regarding the Town Board is gossip and needs to stop. Supervisor Johnson asked what she was referring to and Ms. Erb stated what is posted on social media and in the Times of Wayne County newspaper. Supervisor Johnson stated without specific things, she wouldn’t be able to address Ms. Erb’s concerns. Ms. Erb went onto saying that if Supervisor Johnson wants to share information, she should have her work proofread and fact checked before doing anything. Ms. Erb went on to say that as an elected Supervisor, she should be talking to the Town Board members and they should be approving of what is shared in the newspaper and social media.
