Cohoes proposal chops spending Taxes, water, sewer rates unchanged in $24.85 million plan ByLINE: KENNETH C. CROWE II
COHOES - The city’s proposed 2022 budget of $24.85 million cuts spending by 1 percent while holding the line on property taxes and water and sewer rates, Mayor Bill Keeler said. The spending plan adds a police officer and a firefighter. It doubles the code enforcement officers to four inspectors as well as restoring the public works ranks to full strength. “Public safety is the number one job of our city,” said Keeler, who retired as the major commanding Troop G of the State Police before becoming the city’s
executive officer. The police department strength will climb to 35 while the fire department will have 33 firefighters. Keeler said the additional code inspectors will protect the quality of life in the city by ensuring properties are safe and meet building standards. The city tax rate will stay at $18.18 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. It means the owner of a home assessed at $150,000 will continue to pay a city property tax bill of $2,727. The city water remains at $3.70 and the sewer rate will continue to be $3.60. The general fund dropped by 0.9 percent to $20.3 million from $20.5 million for the 2021 budget year.

CLIFTON PARK - The forested lot in the center of town that residents fought to preserve will become an accessible park, with a loop trail to enjoy the trees and a grassy glade for events. After a pandemic delay and much work this year, the plan for phase one of Town Center Park has been finalized. The town board will refine the details through one more public workshop, at a date not yet announced, and hope to go out to bid this year for work to begin in the spring. It’s expected to cost $1.5 million. Shenendehowa Central School District officials had originally planned to sell the land, between Moe Road and Maxwell Av-

Then the town bought it to preserve as a park. The plan calls for preserving as many trees as possible, while building two parking lots and two paved walking trails. In phase two, the town would add bathrooms. A paved, 16-foot-wide trail will connect to the existing multi-use trail on Moe Road. The other trail will be a half-mile loop through the forested land.

A collection of essays and articles from local historians, the book is aimed at the general public, and will delight readers of all ages with snapshots of the past and true tales of crime, heroism, and colorful personalities. Saratoga County Stories, which is slated for an October 2021 release, is a major achievement for the History Center and the Roundtable, and the product of over a year of writing and editing. Comprised of fifty-eight short articles, the collection is a veritable who-what-where-whenand-why of Saratoga County history. Contributing authors include familiar names of local historians, as well as many regional
“history buffs.” Readers will be impressed with the research and charmed by the narratives.

If you receive this type of notice, it does not necessarily mean there was a math or compu-
tational error on your return. There are time limits to act if you think the notice is incorrect. So far this year, the IRS has sent about 11 million math error notices. This is many times more than in past years. The IRS sent most of these notices to taxpayers who filed a return seeking the Recovery Rebate Credit. Taxpayers claimed this Credit on their tax return if they did not receive the full amount of the Covid-19 economic stimulus payments they believed they were entitled to. The IRS used these notices to advise taxpayers that it believed they were wrong and that all or part of their Recovery Rebate Credit was not allowed. If you receive a math error notice and do not agree with it, you have sixty days from the date on the notice to contact the IRS and let them know you disagree. The phone number to contact the IRS is provided in the notice. There are still limited things you can do even if you miss the
deadline. Some math error notices the IRS sent taxpayers in early 2021 did not have any information about the sixty-day deadline. The IRS is therefore correcting that problem by issuing new math error notices that give the taxpayer a new sixty-day period to object. Please be aware that the notices may not say “math error” on them. If you have questions about this or other income tax issues, the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York’s Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) may be able to help. The Clinic’s services are free of charge. You can call the LASNNY Legal Line at (833) 628-0087 and ask for our LITC. The Clinic does not generally provide tax preparation services.

area,” said designer Joe Dannible of Environmental Design Partnership. On Monday, he showed the town board drawings of how the glade would look at night, to emphasize the need to add a lot of lights. The plan calls for 46 ornamental light poles, costing $350,000. The plan “is worthy of all the effort that’s been invested by many, many people throughout the process,” said Town Supervisor Phil Barrett.
He noted that he had negotiated with the school district and offered $1 million for 34 acres. The school district rejected that. After the referendum, the district sold the town 37 acres for $1.1 million -essentially the same as what he’d offered beforehand. “It’s a unique park in a great location with a very interesting history,” Barrett said. “Phase one will obviously improve the accessibility and safety of the park.” So far, people who wanted the site preserved like the plan, he added. “We appreciate their involvement and they are tracking our progress with keen interest,” he said.

pany made wooden horsedrawn farm equipment right here in our town from 1865 to 1924 and sold machinery to farmers on Hoosick and around the world, as far away as the Middle East and Russia. It was Wood’s company that made Hoosick Falls a boomtown in the 19th century. Following his lead, many other businesses came into town, bringing people and money with them. Because of this, the Wood Company is often credited with building Hoosick Falls back in the day. Another fun part of the day is the Burton Luke Tractor Parade. Tractors of all makes, models,years and colors will wind through the streets of Hoosick Falls at 12:00 Noon. New this year are pony rides and a small petting zoo for the kids. As always you won’t go hungry with food vendors on site. The show is also looking for vendors of agricultural based products and hand made products.This unique event is a great place to showcase your products. Kevin O’Malley is organizing this event and is looking for folks from
Hoosick and the surrounding communities to enter their equipment in the show. He is interested in people showing all different makes and models and years, but most especially, he is hoping for vintage Walter A. Wood equipment and memorabilia For more information or to register,call Kevin at 518-894-5035 or email him at hoosickkid@gmail.com. Can’t wait to see you (and your tractors) there!

ing to a 2020 Homes.com survey of more than 5,000 adults across the United States, modern farmhouse is the most favored house style. The survey asked participants to choose from a selection of styles, including mid-century modern ranch, Spanish colonial/southwest, bohemian craftsman, Italianate, French chateau, and Tudor. The modern farmhouse style was the most popular choice in 42 of the 50 states, proving that home style preference is not beholden to geography. Respondents gave a host of reasons for favoring the modern farmhouse look, including that the style is “aesthetically appealing but not boring” and that it looks “simple, cozy, and not too busy.”

PROPOSAL CONTINUED FROM 3
The city has generally recovered from budget cuts made to offset revenue declines resulting from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. “Spending is down, revenue is up, and we have more city workers serving the public. This is a recovery budget we can be proud of. We have been through a historically difficult fiscal time, but with fiscal discipline we have produced a sound budget for a strong future.” Keeler said. The city will continue to pursue grants to undertake development programs and is targeting building repairs and environmental initiatives with the $9 million it projects to save from changes in street lighting. City Comptroller Michael Durocher
said the city’s budgeting remains conservative, particularly in revenue forecasts. The city predicts sales tax income will rise $200,000 to $5.75 million in 2022. Durocher said the city’s population growth will help fuel the increase. The city’s property tax base expanded by 6.2 percent to $444 million from $418 million. Part of this $26 million increase was due to the end of the Brookfield Power property payment in lieu of taxes agreement placing the power operation completely on the tax rolls. This will generate a tax levy of $8.08 million. A public budget hearing is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, in the Common Council chambers in City Hall. The proposed budget may be seen on the city website ci.cohoes.ny.us. kcrowe@timesunion.com518-4545084@KennethCrowe
Crossroads Center for Children Announces 2021 “Dare to Be Different Gala” to be Held on October 23 CAPITAL DISTRICT – Tickets are now on sale for Crossroads Center for Children’s 2021, “Dare to Be Different Gala, a night of celebration in support of Crossroads programs for children in the Capital District (or Northeastern New York). This year’s Gala will take place on Saturday, October 23, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Terrace at Waters Edge in Glenville. Each year at the Gala, Crossroads Center for Children chooses to honor someone with the “Connecting the Community Award” in gratitude for their help over the past year, which is
always a meaningful and challenging review, as the center truly appreciates the contribution of everyone in the Crossroads community. This year, both Capital District Physicians Health Plan, (CDPHP) and the CAP COM Community Foundation were chosen. “This year, though, we have two honorees, and both were easy selections for their assistance not only to Crossroads but to others in our community” said Young. In fact, that is the nature of this award – “Connecting the Community Award”. Heather Morrison from Spectrum News 9 will serve as Emcee throughout the evening’s presentation again this year, and LeGrande Serras will again serve as live auctioneer. Gem Behind The Mic will add a special song to the festivities. Students come to Crossroads for the applied behavior analysis and specialized services that Crossroads
provides in the school and clinic. Any school district or county may refer students and the organization has worked with up to 30 school districts and 10 counties surrounding the center, located in Rotterdam. In the 2020-21 school year, Crossroads Center for Children served school-age children from the following school districts in the greater Capital Region: Greenbush, Fonda Fultonville, Ft. Plaine, Gloversville, Greenville, Guilderland, Hoosic Valley, Menands, Mechanicville, Niskayuna, N. Colonie, Oppenheim-Ephratah, Schenectady, Shenendehowa, Troy, and Watervliet. Pre-school students from the following counties were also served: Fulton, Montgomery, Saratoga, Albany, and Schenectady. All proceeds from this event will bring vital funds and support to Crossroads Center for Children’s pro-
grams and services. Find ticket registration, other opportunities to get involved, and more information here : http://crossroadcenter.org/crossroads-gala-2021/
