Town Of West Sparta2011 Year end report by supervisor Dominic Cosimano our West Sparta town hall is completed which I started in my first year and finished in my final year as town supervisor. With the exception of central air conditioning, we are waiting for winter prices to bid the work out to help save tax payers money. With the construction of our new building addition we saved the town over $600,000 from the old proposal . We are in the final stages of finishing the renovations of the old town hall and court house building. We have applied for a justice grant to help. There is a lot more to be done we need to look at the Highway barns but we must be frugal with spending as we where in our town hall complex. I set aside $30,000 in 2012 to start up grading the highway building. I found resolve in the Moore road water line situation which went on for over fifteen years. One big issue I have been seeing is this town needs education on the code of ethics something I had planned for 2012. If you followed our meetings and what is going on in our town you would understand . The Woodsville water district extension project is in the final stages of completion. There was over $100,000 left from Rural Development grant due to competitive bids and about two weeks work left in Cumminsville to replace the existing old water line to help increase water pressure and volume in our town. I cant see giving back that money when we can utilize it. The Land development code book and the updated junk storage laws are in the hands our lawyer reviewing for a towns public hearing. We have a new code enforcement officer Mark Mullikin ph no.585-519-3321. He is doing a very good, honest job with excellent record keeping skills. We have a new 4 way stop at Redmond, MacKay Hill rd and Kysorville-Byersville rd. I believe a big help in safety with the store traffic and blind spots. I worked with land owner and contractor to get the installation of a 14ft deep 15”storm drain installed by A Smith construction we now have the capabilities to drain off our west side town properties. To help our town buildings and parking lot drain off. I worked with the county and got approval to install a much needed slues pipe under Kysorville- Byersville road and charge back to the county. I hen passed on to the highway superintendent, this would help drain off the north side of the town hall where we hold our events and possible future park area. This would also help our Neighbors from years of wet land problems. My first year in office Greg and I talked about finishing off the property leveling off the grounds. Mowing and cleaning around fence and pond also creating a walking path around the out skirts of our property to use for safe walking exercise or just plain enjoyment. This is something our highway crew could do when ever they get a few hours off and on, after all if we can build roads with our equipment we can do this. I did ask. Financially I leave this Town With over$100,000 in reserve funds in the general account, and almost $450,000 in highway reserve funds, going into 2012. This should resolve our uneducated rumors that I spent it all. I kept our taxes flat for 2012 and no outstanding loans with the exception of the Woodsville water district. I would like to say thank you to my supporters it has been a great two years, and very fast two years. I really enjoyed working for you. I am proud to have worked with our town board the last two years achieving what we have. I walk away proud knowing that I have achieved, in two years that couldn’t get done in the last 15 years. I did what I said I would do two years ago when I got elected! I believe what you can’t get finished today you can finish tomorrow! I believe that this current board will keep us in a positive direction!Respectfully submitted Dominic Cosimano West Sparta town Supervisor
