“Rich Klotz has what is required
to continue to serve as Highway
Superintendent,” she said.
Mike Guerriero seconded the
nomination, saying Klotz has done a
wonderful job for the town.
Claire Winslow nominated Terry
Elia for the position of Town Justice.
Terry has been a life-long fireman
for the town. He’s done a lot for the
schools with the bus system and has
done so much for the town,” she said,
adding that he officiated at her wedding.
“He was very sweet and thoughtful, so
he’s always been a very special friend to
me.”
Joe Mazetti seconded the nomination,
asking what makes a great Town Justice.
Lloyd Supervisor Paul Hansut
announced that NYS Assemblyman
Frank Skartados [D-Milton] has secured
$375,000 that will be used to finish all of
the work at the Bob Shepard Highland
Landing Park.
Hansut said several months ago a
plan was compiled, under the direction of
Nancy Hammond, that accounted for all
of the outstanding items needed to finally
finish the park. The plan was sent out to
all of the local state and federal officials.
Skartados’ funding will provide
$250,000 for water and sewer and the
remaining $125,000 will go toward the
final items needed on the park grounds.
Hansut said water and sewer is “going
to go underneath the railroad tracks
from the sewer plant so that will give the
educational building bathrooms and be
able to run it to the southern part of the
park and then Mariner’s would be able
to privately hook in so he can have water
and sewer to his [future] restaurant.”
Hansut said the owner of the Mariner’s
site, Richard Ronkese, would have to pay
related costs involved to join the sewer
district.
“I am thrilled the Assemblyman
was able to do this and we appreciate
everything he does for our community,”
Hansut said. “Obviously, we’ll have to put
it out for bid...I think the engineering is
already done so I think it will be a quick-
