The Village Hall is located at 28 West Main Street and can be reached at 265-3770. The Village of Webster maintains its own sewer treatment plant and its own water system. From left to right: Trustee Lancy, Trustee Rickard, Mayor Elder, Trustee Kildal, and Trustee Reynolds.
1/14/10: Jake Swingly resigns from Board. Mayor Jake Swingly has resigned from the Board. By motion of Trustee Rickard and seconded by me, Jake was appointed to a one year Provisional position of Superintendent of Public Works. I have worked with Jake for five years - he and I are the veteran members of the Board. It was an honor to have him appoint me Deputy Mayor for the last two years. Though we have not always agreed on issues, I deeply respect Jakes tenacity, intellagence and committment to the Village.
4/11/09: Board members sworn in. Welcome Trustee Reynolds. At the April 11, 2009 Organizational Meeting, Christine Reynolds, our newest Trustee, was sworn in by Justice John DeMarco. Trustee Dave Kidal and Mayor Jake Swingly were sworn in by Webster Town Justice David Corretore. The Board got down to work with Organizational issues. The Webster Herald was again designated as the Village's offficial newspaper. I was honored to once again be appointed Deputy Mayor by Mayor Swingly. The Board adopted the Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct as our guidelines for employees, public officers and elected officials. The Board clarified language throughout the Organizational Minutes (many elements of the outline are over two decades old). Village Clerk Kathy Vendel was re-appointed as Village Clerk. Trustee Reynolds will be taking the seat formerly held by Trustee Cataldi - so she will be sitting to my left. Toward the end of the meeting, the Board agreed to adopt the Requirements for Planning and Zoning Board Members that I had authored. I extend my congradulations to Trustee Reynolds and look foward to working with her, Mayor Swingly, Trustee Kildal and Trustee Rickard to make our Village a place where Life Keeps Getting Better.
4/9/09: Farewell Patti. It has been a great honor of mine to sit next to Patti Cataldi for four years. Patti was one of the three candidates four years ago that overturned the then Village Board and set the stage for not only my presence on the Village Board, but every member elected after that. Patti brought a strong sense of professionalism and dedication to the Village Board. She and her husband Dick are great people that have given countless hours to our Village. Reading through the candidates’ platform of fours years ago, I realize that most of what Patti said she would accomplish, she did. I wish her well in her pursuit of a Town Board seat.
