Town Resident, we realize that some of you may have received information from Cypress Creek, the following was written to help clear up some inaccurate information that was shared in that mailing. Feel free to contact the Town with any questions.
Dear Mr. Silliman,
This email is sent to you in regards to your email of March 5th. You have every right to send out letters to the residents of the Town of Fenner but the letter you have proposed to send is very confusing, vague and full of misinformation to say the least.
When you state that your PILOT agreement between the Oxbow Hill Solar Project and the Town of Fenner, the Canastota School District and Madison County this does not take in consideration the other two parties to the PILOT agreement. You should name all parties that will be receiving a slice of the Town of Fenner’s PILOT monies.
When you state that the PILOT agreement will provide approximately 10% of the Town of Fenner’s budget raised by taxes. What does this mean? You state in your letter that the PILOT will be $70,000 per year for the life of the project and guarantee consistent and predictable payments. According to that, the Town of Fenner would receive approximately $7,700 or 11% of the $70,000, which is how New York State figures their PILOT agreement. The schools receive 67% of the total and the county would receive approximately 22% of the total amount. Is this what you meant by the PILOT being $70,000? If so, $7,700 is a far cry from being 10% of our budget raised by taxes. 10% of our budget raised by taxes would be $52,000.
When you state you are going to negotiate a host community package (HCA) with the Town of Fenner which will provide further financial benefits that is very confusing. Who or what is the Fenner Neighbor Fund that is being established by Cyprus Creek and who will be dispersing the funds? My understanding of HCAs is that it is made between the company (in this case Cyprus Creek) and the town, not a separate entity that the company has formed.
You talk about local utility bills and that individual residents in the Town of Fenner can expect reduced electric bill costs as another benefit i.e. an electric bill credit. This does not take into consideration that the Town of Fenner has a large Amish population that are not on the grid. What is being done for them as what is fair for one is fair for all. Also, not all of our residents use National Grid, they use another power company. Will they receive an electric bill credit also?
What are your plans to compensate the remaining farmers whose operations you are disrupting by taking the land they have been renting and taking it out of production? When I posed this question to one of Cyprus Creek’s attorneys after one of our meetings, his response was “They will just have to move”. Do you feel this is a viable, caring solution? This solar project will drive the price of valuable farm land up for farmers to rent or purchase. According to agricultural land experts I have spoken to, the Town of Fenner will go from an agricultural community to a power producing utility. I do not think most residents would like or want that definition in the town that many of them were born and raised in, or have chosen to move here because of its rural serenity and beauty.
Sincerely,
Dave Jones
Supervisor

Madison County Department of Solid Waste to
Host Two Document Shredding Events in 2021
Canastota, NY –The Madison County Department of Solid Waste is partnering with Proshred to provide two free residential document shredding events this year. The first event will be held in the Spring at the Buyea Road Residential Station and the second event will be held in the Fall in Hamilton. The Dept. of Solid Waste invites residents to attend either event, making sure to follow necessary safety precautions (i.e., wearing a face covering, staying in your vehicle at all times, and putting the materials to be shredded in a location where the event staff can easily access them):
- Saturday, October 16, 2021 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
o Parry’s parking lot in Hamilton
100 Utica Street, Hamilton NY
Residents can bring a maximum of four filing boxes of personal and confidential documents to be shredded. Material should be loose in boxes or paper bags and easily accessible in the back of the vehicle. Empty boxes will be returned to the vehicle; please do not put items in plastic bags.
Medical documents, bank information, tax records, and other paperwork containing account numbers or private details are ideal for drop off. Do not bring magazines, junk mail, phone books or photographs. Business waste will not be accepted.
“Many of our residents take advantage of our shred events as a safe and secure way to get rid of their confidential documents and we are excited to be hosting these events again this year,” says Madison County Recycling Coordinator Kristin Welch. “The material collected will be recycled into other paper products. Residents will be able to protect their personal information and, at the same time, help us rethink waste here in Madison County.”
In addition to the shred events, the Dept. of Solid Waste is working with LOJO Technology to host Saturday drop-offs for electronic waste. Residents looking to recycle electronics such as computers and TVs can take their materials to LOJO Technology (634 Birchwood Drive, Oneida) year-round Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM or on the following 2021 Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM: April 24, July 17 and October 2.
