Finally, Lt. Koehn acknowledged his own staff, “Lastly, because it’s my unit I hesitate, but my CPOs from the NSC really do a great job with this detail. They are responsible for the command van and the ATVs. They also engage in bike patrol and were all over the place. I’m proud of their efforts.”

We thank you all for everything you do each and every day!

“From Garden to Table” Demo

585.546.8439 x4419.

ESLC Executive Chef David Watkins will demo tasty dishes that can be made from fresh fruits and vegetables. Participants will have the opportunity to take home produce from the

community gardens at Beatrice Place, where more than 1,025 lbs. of produce were harvested last year! This is the third year of the community gardens there.

Welcome To Charlotte Sign and Charlotte Beautification Update

The “Welcome to Charlotte Sign” on Pattonwood Drive has been replaced with funds from the CCA. It was damaged this spring by vandals. Pam Postgate, a member of the Charlotte Beautification Committee (CBC), has added her touch with summer flowers. Under the direction of Linda Paruta, about 25 other members of the CBC have also been out this spring planting, weeding and watering the 20+ gardens and flower pots in the park and elsewhere in Charlotte. Unfortunately, vandalism has hit the CBC as well, with many plantings dug up and stolen. The good news is that our volunteers are out there working hard to keep our community beautiful. Soon they will be sporting new t-shirts that identify them as Volunteer Gardeners. Please stop by and thank them for their hard work.

July / August 2016 Charlotte Community News 5

J une is a busy month for the Rochester City (City) Council as we take on one of our most important jobs of reviewing and

approving the comprehensive City budget, including budgets for all of the departments as well as that of the City School District. The Mayor held one budget input session at City Hall, one call-in session and an online survey and City Council itself holds budget hearings that are open to the public and sets aside time for public comment; unfortunately, none of these events were well-attended by the community. We need to do a better job of educating residents about critical elements of the budget, explaining major changes in proposed investments and getting input on specific programs, and I am dedicated to working on increasing public engagement in the future.

Relevant to the 2016-17 budget, I was happy to support several elements including: the funding of 20 police officer positions, previously budgeted but not filled; moving to single-

stream recycling City-wide by mid-next year, making recycling easier for everyone as well as helping the environment; increasing collaboration, thereby expanding youth programming among the Department of Recreation and Youth Services, the City School District and our libraries; and holding taxes essentially flat, resulting in an average $15 decrease per household this year.

There were several areas of the budget that my colleagues and I questioned which included: the continued growth of the City School District budget, despite decreasing student enrollment; a lack of clear direction in our housing and economic development policies; the effectiveness of some of our job training programs; and, of particular concern to me, targeted investments in some neighborhoods at the expense of others. These are areas of concern that we are committed to focus on over the coming year.

Have a wonderful summer!

Update: New York State Assembly

Joe Morelle Annual Health and Wellness Fair

Good News for New York State Veterans!

A fter passing the Legislature three times and being vetoed twice, I am happy to announce

that the Veterans Buyback Bill has finally been signed into law. This new law allows all honorably-discharged service members with five-years of existing public pension credit to purchase three-years of credit for their military service. Previously, state law only allowed World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans to purchase pension credits. My Senate colleagues and I have fought hard to enact this law, to honor those who have bravely served our country and to encourage them to return to New York and continue their public service. This is long overdue and I’m elated that all of our veterans will finally receive the benefits that they have earned. Additionally, I am pleased to recently support the following Senate-approved legislation to: Create a new Korean War Service Medal for military service abroad in the Korean War from June 25, 1950 through July 27, 1953;

Create the Vietnam War Service Medal for military service abroad in the Vietnam War from November 1, 1955, through April 30, 1975; and

Allow qualified veterans to add veterans' credits to civil service competitive examination scores at any point prior to the expiration of the eligible list; including those examinations for appointments and promotions to the state police.

These actions are the least we can do for our veterans who made the selfless decision to serve their country and protect our freedoms. Please accept my profound thanks to all our service men and women and their families. It is always an honor to meet with our local veterans and I am humbled to serve as your voice in state government.

Community Champion Award winner for the Northwest Quadrant to Pam Postgate for her involvement in several community improvement activities. She organized the Stutson Street Block Club and Charlotte Beach Clean-ups and most recently, spearheaded the creation of the Lakeside Farmers Market. According to the Neighborworks Rochester press release, “Ms. Postgate organized the group of neighbors to put it together, then hosted meetings, sought out sponsors and vendors, and locally publicized it. After a successful first year in 2015, the market will open this month for a second year.” Pam is a former Director of the Charlotte Community Association Board and is still involved with the Charlotte Beautification Committee.

Congratulations Pam, and Thank You for All You Do!
