Supervisor's News

Report on Town Code Update Process

As we move through the latter part of summer a group of hard-working volunteers has been heading into the final stages of a year long process to review and update the Town of Henrietta Codes.  Their recommendations will be made to the Town Board in the Fall and public hearings will be held on proposed revisions to the Code shortly after that.  Click on the link below to view a report on the progress of the Code Update Committee that I asked co-chairs Rick Page and Peter Minotti to submit so that we could continue our efforts to keep our residents well informed about Town matters.  Thanks to Mr. Page and Mr. Minotti and their Committee for their hard work to this point!

Solicitor Warning: Use Caution!

Please be advised that there are solicitors canvassing neighborhoods in Henrietta, some of whom have a solicitor's permit with identification and others who do not.

We have been receiving phone calls from residents concerning an individual who is implying that he has an internship with the Town of Henrietta and updating student handbooks. He does not have identification or a permit. The Town does not have any solicitors out in neighborhoods gathering information.

It is not advisable to let anyone you do not know into your home for any reason - to use the bathroom.... Learn More
What Are Those Purple Boxes in the Trees?

Town Hall has received several calls asking about the purple boxes that are in trees at various locations around town.  They are traps placed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to monitor the spread of the invasive pest - the Emerald Ash Borer.

These small beetles have been spreading throughout the Great Lakes and are threatening the ash tree population in the state. Michigan has already been hard hit. They have been detected in Cattaraugus County. They can be easily transported in firewood and therefore DEC has a ban on transporting firewood more than 50 miles from its source.

Please visit the FAQ Page on the DEC website for more information.

PROGRAM COURSE NUMBERS FOR FALL/WINTER PROGRAM REGISTRATION

As a part of our new automated registration system, you will notice that each program will have a course number assigned to it. For example the Fall Flag Football program registration number is 19-FF. This would be the number that you would place next to the name of the program (Flag Football) that you are registering for. You will also notice that there is now only one registration form that you will use to sign up for one or more of the fine programs that we offer. This registration form may be found in your brochure, available to be downloaded via our website by August 23rd or may be picked up at the Recreation Department Office. Please ensure that you complete the form so that the correct course number is placed next to the course that you are signing up. Having the exact name of the course along with the correct course number will ensure that you are registered for the program that you desire.

 

Solicitor Warning: Please Use Caution!

Please be advised that there are solicitors canvassing neighborhoods in Henrietta, some of whom have a solicitor’s permit with identification and others who do not.

We have been receiving phone calls from residents concerning an individual who is implying that he has an internship with the Town of Henrietta and updating student handbooks. He does not have identification or a permit. The Town does not have any solicitors out in neighborhoods gathering information.

It is not advisable to let anyone you do not know into your home for any reason - to use the bathroom, get a drink of water, or use the phone, etc...

If someone you do not know comes to your door – keep the screen door shut, ask them for identification and a copy of their solicitors permit issued by the Town of Henrietta. Be aware of what kind of car they are driving and a description of the person. If they do not have any identification and seem suspicious contact the Sheriff’s Department by dialing 911.

Remember Leash Law

Please remember that all dogs in the Town of Henrietta are required to be on a leash any time they are off the owner's premises.  We have received several calls this year about dogs going off their owner’s property and approaching pedestrians/joggers/bicyclists.  Dog owners are responsible to make sure this does not happen and are subject to appearance in Town Court and possible fine for repeated offenses.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Let’s Keep Henrietta Beautiful!

The Henrietta Town Code states that all trash cans and recycle bins must be placed in a garage, port or at the rear of the building so that the containers are reasonably out of view from the street.

Please make sure that you comply with the Town Code and store your containers out of sight other than when they are at the street for collection.

Thanks for your help keeping Henrietta neighborhoods beautiful!
