Fall and Winter Safety Reminders from the Fire Marshal and Building Inspector

Fall and Winter Safety Reminders from the Fire Marshal and the Building Department

Cooler tempuratures are a reminder of fun fall activities and family gatherings for the holidays.

• Make sure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are functioning by testing them once a month.
• Have a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm on every floor, outside sleeping areas and inside bedrooms.
• Your smoke alarm just doesn't sound when there is a fire.  Three loud beeps (continuous) mean there is smoke or a fire.  One chirp every 30-60 seconds means it is time to change the battery.
• Your smoke alarm must be changed every 10 years.
• Most home fires start in the kitchen.  Make sure you keep watch over your cooking and that there is a fire extinguisher nearby.
• Have a fire escape plan and review it with your family.
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:  headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion.
• Have your home heating systems (including chimneys and vents) inspected and serviced annually by a trained service technician.
• Never use portable generators inside homes and garages, even if doors and windows are open.  Use generators outside only, at least 20 feet away from your home.

Late Fees for Dog Licensing

Posted January 21, 2021

At the January 11, 2021 Hamlin Town Board meeting, the Town Board adopted accruing late fees of $5.00 each month for dog licenses that are not renewed within 30 days of their annual renewal date. This will be effective beginning February 15, 2021.

The costs for dog renewals will remain the same. Unaltered dogs are $17 and Spayed/Neutered dogs are $9. The purpose of the late fees is to encourage timely renewals. Dog Licensing helps ensure that dogs are vaccinated against rabies. The Town of Hamlin considers rabies to be a serious public health issue.  The late fee on dog licenses is another tool to ensure that dogs are vaccinated and that vaccinations are kept current.

Governor Cuomo Announces $43 Million for Monroe County

I am very pleased to announce that the Town of Hamlin will receive $8.3 million from the Governor's REDI program. The hours and hours of meetings and phone calls have been sucessful in securing this very important funding for Hamlin. I am very happy to have accomplished this for the residents of the shoreline. This is the silver lining to the dark cloud.  

$7.9 million is for a sewer system that will include the entire lakefront from the State Park east to Townline Rd. providing public health protection, economic benifits in terms of property values and enhances water quality at our shoreline.  

$400,000 is for barrier bar installation at the terminus of Townline Rd to help maintain access, protect from wave action and enhance public safety for roads in 2 towns. 

Informational meetings, timelines, and other details will be coveyed shortly as the projects come together.
