Comptroller assists municipalities comply with tax cap

More than 70 percent of local governments reviewed by auditors had adopted budgets with a property tax levy that was within the allowable limit, while 5 percent exceeded the cap inappropriately, according to an analysis by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s office. In the last few weeks DiNapoli sent more than 200 auditors across the state to review the new budgets of 798 municipalities. See list of the governments that stayed within the cap (PDF).

In Livingston County, two municipalities overrode the proprty tax cap: Conesus Fire District and the town of Conesus. Several Steuben County governments properly overrode their property tax caps, including Atlanta-North Cohocton Fire District, Steuben County and the towns of Bath, Campbell, Canisteo, Cohocton, Greenwood, Hartsville, Hornby, Hornellsville, Jasper, Pulteney, Troupsburg, Tuscarora, Wayland and Wheeler.

They’re the go-to people for incoming and current town board members and supervisors, as well as other town employees and of course, the general public.

It’s not unusual to hear a clerk pipe up during a board meeting and correct the board on a procedure or, for the sake of bringing board members up to speed, can recall from memory something a previous board voted on a decade or more ago.

Beverly Robinson, Wayland’s full-time town clerk for the past 20 years, has decided it was time to pass the torch.
