NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the proposition described below will be held on Saturday, March 30, 2019, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.  Qualified electors are to vote at the Town Hall, located at 7209 New York State Route 28, in the Town of Shandaken.

The Proposition is:

SHALL the qualified electors located in the proposed Septic Maintenance District of the Town of Shandaken, in the County of Ulster (“District”), approve the Resolution, adopted by the Town Board of the said Town on the 22nd day of January, 2019, which resolution authorizes the establishment of a septic maintenance district with the general boundaries of said proposed district being those properties located in the Hamlet of Shandaken. The entire cost of the District will be funded by the Catskill Watershed Corporation (CWC) through a grant from New York City. Approximately one half of the septic systems within the District will need to be replaced in the initial year. After the initial year, it is anticipated that the remaining half will be replaced at a rate of one per year (or as needed). Upon completion of the initial replacement and/or repair of failing septic systems, CWC will provide the Town with an endowment to fund the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of the septic systems located within the District for as long as there are funds remaining in the account. No local funds will be spent on the design, permitting and construction of the District. The property owner can refuse to participate and/or refuse to allow access in which case, the District will have no responsibility to repair/upgrade/replace that system. If the property owner agrees to participate, the District will take full responsibility for designing, permitting, and constructing the replacement system and closing the existing septic system. The property owner will continue to own the new replacement system and the District will be responsible for its maintenance.
