New Garbage Hauler

At the regular Village Board Meeting of May 15th, sealed bids for the Village Trash/Recyclables pick up was awarded to Pollard Disposal as they were the lowest responsible bid.

Advantage will be picking up all recycling containers marked TJ’S Waste or Advantage Disposal.  The toters (wheeled trash cans) will also be picked up on Thursday if one was supplied to you.

Pollard will supply recycling containers and wheeled trash cans to all residents.  If you do not wish to use the wheeled trash can, please attach a note and leave it out for the next pick up.  Pick up days will stay the same and will begin June 5th.

The Board asks residents to please be patient as our new haulers familiarize themselves with the area.  If you have concerns or suggestions, please contact Village Hall at 895-2199 or Pollard Disposal at 861-6452.

COMPTROLLER'S REPORT Regarding the Examination of the Village of Delanson

In 2012, an audit by the NYS comptroller's office was conducted to examine disbursements, real property tax and water rent billings and collections.  The report was published on March 29, 2013 and covers the period from June 1, 2010 to April 30, 2012.
The report found:

  1. Deficiencies in the Village’s internal controls over cash disbursements.
  2. Internal controls were not adequate to ensure real property taxes and water rents were properly accounted for.
  3. Deposits were not made timely in compliance with Real Property Tax Law and Village policy.
  4. Appropriate amounts of interest and penalties were not collected.
The Village agreed with the report and has already begun to restore the internal safe guards recommended to ensure the safety of village finances.  In addition, a written procedure will be designed for future administrations to follow and adopt.  A copy of the audit is also on file with the Village Clerk and can be viewed by appointment.  Please call 895-2199 or 895-2257 for a convenient time.
