O
ver time we
have worked to
develop a better system
of communication to
you that is timely,
comprehensive, and
keeps everyone in tune with what is
“happening in LaFayette.”
Many of you have offered ideas
over the years with input on the
content that can be delivered along
with how timely it can be done.
With the vision and help from our
Information Officer, Sue Marzo, we
are launching.
DESTINATION LAFAYETTE—
”GETTING CONNECTED”
First and foremost, we are building
a variety of platforms that will
provide you with the opportunity to
choose what the best method(s) for
you to become connected with the
news and events of LaFayette.
Secondly, our goal is to also reduce
cost over the long term from the
printing and mailing of the Town
newsletter.
Our vision is to continue with
delivering a newsletter as the
foundation of our pyramid of
communication. Sue will continue
to publish our newsletter every two
months and you will now be offered
three methods to receive it.
1. You may continue to receive it by
mail. However, it will only be in
black and white thus saving cost.
2. You may receive the newsletter
today via email or your smart
phone in “Full and Living Color”!
Simply visit the town website at:
www.townoflafayette.com and
provide your email address in the
contact form on the homepage
entitled “E-Subscribe”.
3. Visit the website and you can click
on the pdf of the newsletter and
view and/or print in full color at
your convenience.
Our Goal is to provide you with a
newsletter that you have a variety of
ways to access, read and contribute
to.
Our focus is to provide you news at
your fingertips wherever you may be
in your busy life.

DESTINATION LAFAYETTE- “GETTING CONNECTED” CONT’D
We know how
important a “paper in
hand” is to many of you
of all ages, we will
continue to mail it
The second layer in our
communication pyramid is the
Town’s website. Our website will
now take on the role of building
our Town’s brand too; identifying
who we are and what we have to
offer to anyone living in our
community or visiting our area.
Sue has taken on the role of our
content manager for the website.
You may have noticed the
updates already; events and
photos of the town; links to news
that may affect you and many
other noteworthy events and
happenings in the town.
We ask that you submit any
events, photographs, and
news that you may view as
relevant at this email address:
[email protected]
Feel free to continue to send us
your favorite photo’s and news
throughout the year, from near
and far!
The Town Clerk and the Deputy
Town Clerk will also continue to
publish late breaking news,
cancellations, and events as they
develop on our web site too.
Jackie Roorda and Kristin Colburn
will also be content managers for
the web site along with managing
the content that revolves around
living in LaFayette and with doing
business in the Town.
You may have already noticed our
tip of the pyramid with the
development of a Town Facebook
and Twitter site. We envision this
to be an active social media
source of information for those
who may use a “Smart Phone” to
keep connected with your
community.
Our approach is to offer a variety
of opportunities to “broadcast”
the happening’s in Our Town
and to build a strong community
identity!
I would like to offer a special
thanks to longtime resident Jim
Moltion for continually working
hard to advocate for a means to
Build Community through
Communication. I believe that
we have captured Jim’s hope to
communicate frequently with
the news and events of our
Town. Thanks Jim!
Through a combination of the
Town’s newsletter, website and
social media venues we are
inviting you to join us at:
DESTINATION LAFAYETTE—
”GETTING CONNECTED”!
Thank you!
We encourage you to
submit items of interest and
photos too. Sue will handle
all of our content
management within both of
these social media sites.
—Bill McConnell
Town Superintendent

TOWN MEETING CLIPS—www.townoflaFayette.com
BYRNE DAIRY
SOLAR ENERGY
We are scheduling a public hearing on March 9th at
6:30 pm at the Town Commons. This public hearing
will pick up from where we left off with the
consideration to create a Commercial Planned
Business District for this store. In February 2015, NYS
DOT Region Three in Syracuse placed a final approval
on the proposed second driveway to the site and had
forwarded this to Albany for final review and
consideration. Hopefully the review will be
completed in time for the March Town Board
Meeting and public hearing. Please keep up with the
status of the public hearing by visiting our website or
feel free to call me.
www.townoflafayette.com
Still under consideration for our town
properties and parks. Initial review of our
electrical cost have proven that they are low
enough that it may not be prudent to install a
solar system. We are still working this concept
and we will update you as information
becomes available.
TOWN PURCHASE OF SNOWPLOW
TRUCKS
The Town Board Approved at the January
meeting to move forward with the purchase of
two new dual-use trucks for use in year 2016.
These trucks will replace two 1999 snow
plowing vehicles and one seasonal ten wheel
heavy truck that was utilized only for hauling
material and not for plowing. Thus, the
Highway Department will reduce its fleet size
by one heavy truck but will gain by having the
new vehicles being “put to work” year round.
The sales of the
three current
trucks (two
1999’s and the
ten wheeler) will
be used to pay
down the cost.
HIGHWAY BUILDING PROJECT
March 18th is the contractual completion date of the new highway department building! Dedication is
still slated for Saturday, May 30th. Stay tuned in
the May Newsletter and Facebook for dedication
details. We are extremely pleased with the
execution of the building plan by our General
Contractor, Diamond & Thiel. This job is being led
by former LaFayette resident Scott Chrysler. All of
the Contractors and their employees have
persevered though some harsh weather
conditions and we truly appreciate it. This project
has been overseen by our Jeff Palin and Mark
Chambers of C&S Engineering; both of whom are
also LaFayette residents. It is extremely nice to have our Community involved in many ways to bring
this project to reality.

The Highway Department—”Getting Connected”
T
he Highway Department always
welcomes the March Newsletter
as it means that Spring is just around
the corner. We have plenty of work
scheduled for the spring and summer
months. Here are some important
dates to remember as we head into
spring.
The Bi-annual brush pick-up will begin
April 1st and will continue throughout
the month. Because of the heavy wet
snow this year, there is a significant
amount of brush to be picked up.
Please have all your brush out at the
roadside by April 20. (Brush should be
put out in 6’ lengths, butt end first).
Contractors that cut up homeowners
trees are responsible for their
removal. All brush will be ground up
and used for Free Mulch for residents.
The annual Town Clean up Days will
begin May 2 through May 9
Saturdays 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and
Noon to 6:00 pm Monday—Friday;
Closed Sundays. See the adjoining
do’s and don’ts.
The new Highway building is moving
along as scheduled. Despite the frigid
winter temperatures, the contractors
are making great progress. We at the
Highway Garage love to “Stay
Connected”, so make sure you like our
Facebook page for updates and real
time weather-school closings and lots
of pics from the Highway Department.
Speaking of “GETTING CONNECTED”

This month, as your Vice President of the Onondaga County
Highway Association, I will be heading back to Albany advocating
for more money for our local roads. Last year was a huge
success as we were able to secure extra funding to help pave
routes 11 and 20. With the help of County Legislator Dave
Knapp and our State Senators Valesky and DeFrancisco we were
able to secure more “CHIPS” funding for LaFayette Town Roads
also. #localroadsmatter. Enjoy your spring and on behalf of the
Highway Department, thank you for allowing us to serve.

weather related cancellations or closings, use your regular source and realize that “No School Afterschool”
equals “No LCC programs”. With regard to specific program info, we leave that up to individual coaches or
instructors. Your team/class may or may not do group emails, calls, texts, etc. Please remember to stay
connected in person by walking your child to and from practices thus giving the coach a chance to update
you. Feel free to offer your assistance in helping with team/class communication as our
coaches/instructors usually have lots to do. And lastly, don’t’ forget the most important connection—real
time with each other. Put down the devices (yes, put them out so sight and sound) and play catch, or a
board game, go for a jog, do something leisurely, together and totally in the moment...try it, each day.
