My favorite thing about spring is Ulysses is the landscape is primarily shades of gray and brown, and then we eagerly wait for the first buds and new leaves, and then - BAM - everything is green and the weeds are already a foot tall. It's amazing! Many thanks to the Bee Committee, Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, Conservation and Sustainability Advisory Committee, and the Tree Committee for all of the work they've collectively done to celebrate and support our community this spring, from community clean ups, to tree plantings, to educational opportunities to learn about how to protect ground bees, to engaging the public in community service. Thank you to all of the volunteers in Ulysses working to make this a safer community for all lifeforms. Our next Town Board meeting will be on Tuesday, May 13th. Our focus will be on introducing a new flood prevention law that FEMA requires us to update in keeping with the new maps they issued for Ulysses. Additionally, we will be reviewing a contract for nearly $900K in grant funds to upgrade the Maplewood Road culvert. It has been many years in the making! Although the land donation has been an important topic of many recent meetings, no action is planned for this particular meeting. As always, the agenda packet and options to attend in person and remotely are available here.
