IN THIS WEEK'S ULYSSES NEWSLETTER: Update from Supervisor Olson Upcoming Meetings & Public Hearings Early Voting Begins Hunting Season Updates School Vote on 10/28 JCA Annual Meeting Theatre Program for 7-10th Graders Give Input on the Town Park UPDATE FROM SUPERVISOR OLSON: The squirrels in my yard are in the phase of autumn where they're collecting fallen acorns and rushing to tuck them away for fall. All around Ulysses, I feel the same sense of fall urgency as we all prepare ourselves and our spaces for the coming winter. Yet another pile of leaves to rake up, broken branches to collect from Sunday's wind, patio furniture to be stored, cracks to be filled. At Town Hall, we are tackling big projects! At our Town Board meeting on Tuesday, October 28, we'll be holding a record THREE public hearings: the 2026 Preliminary Budget, Smith Woods donation, and a rezoning request for Development District 3 (former Barangus property on Route 96/Halseyville). Please come share your thoughts and opinions on all of these topics. As always, you can attend in person or online, or watch the meeting later on the Ulysses YouTube channel. The full board packet and Zoom link is available here. Finally, a special thank you to Neil and Liz Klohmann and Darcy Branchini, residents of Perry City Road, who I had the pleasure to have a meeting with on Wednesday. Last week, Liz shared a heartfelt, tragic post on Facebook of their beloved dog being struck and killed by a speeding driver on Perry City. I met with them to discuss the process for requesting a speed reduction and other safety mitigations on their road. They are putting together a petition, the necessary first step for any road speed changes that are ultimately decided by the NYS Department of Transportation. If you live on Perry City and are interested in signing their speed study request, I'm happy to connect you. Please reach out to me at sup ervisor@townofulyssesny.go v.
