IN THIS WEEK’S ULYSSES NEWSLETTER: Update from Supervisor Olson Planning Board Public Hearings TCFA Events Help Naviga�ng Healthcare Dog Census Extended Sep�c & Well Maintenance Workshop UPDATE FROM TOWN SUPERVISOR KATELIN OLSON: Back in 2020, many of us outside of the health care professions may not have known or ever used a N-95 or KN-95 mask. Today, courtesy of COVID, we're all experts on different types of masks, their comfort level, and ability to let us comfortably breathe. Li�le did we in Upstate New York know, of course, in 2020 that N-95 or KN-95 masks are also useful for helping protect us from par�culates in the air due to smoke from forest fires. The Town of Ulysses does have a limited quan�ty of masks available, so if you find yourself in need, please reach out or stop by the Clerk's office. On May 31, we had a wonderfully well-a�ended mee�ng on poten�al public water routes along Route 96. Informa�on about that mee�ng, including the presenta�on by the Town's engineer, MRB Group, is available here. At our regular Town Board meeting on June 13, we will be con�nuing a discussion of a new water district/extension policy. We are also pleased to be welcoming members of the Jacksonville Community Associa�on Board for a presenta�on on making the Jacksonville Community Park more accessible, as well as ge�ng a mid-year update on roads in Ulysses from the Town Highway Superintendent Sco� Stewart. Mee�ng materials, including a link to a�end remotely, are available here. Members of the public are encouraged to a�end in person at Town Hall or remotely.
