As promised, I am writing to provide you with our “Phase One” reopening plan for the Community Center and Supervisor’s Office.

With that in mind, to follow, are the details of Phase One, which will be effective beginning September 9, 2020.
The Supervisor’s Office will be staffed Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 4:00 pm. We will be available to residents from 9:00 am-4:00 pm. In an effort to limit the number of people in the office at one time, we strongly urge you to call ahead for an appointment before coming in so that we can ensure that we are following the guidelines of social distancing. Please call 518-647-2204 x101 to reach us.

The Community Center Gym will remain closed during this phase.
Please note that all social distancing guidelines will be in place, and masks are required at all times while conducting business in the Community Center. All hard surfaces and restrooms will be disinfected on a regular schedule, and there are hand sanitizer dispensers placed throughout the Community Center.
In closing, I ask you to keep the residents and staff of the Essex Center in your thoughts as they face the challenges ahead. I also ask for your cooperation with the guidelines I have listed for Phase One so that we can ensure the health and safety of both residents and staff as the Town of Jay takes this first step towards reopening.
Stay well,
Archie
Town of Jay Supervisor Archie Depo is requesting help from the public regarding a possible theft of materials.
The Town recently, through grant funding, purchased new aluminum bleachers and team benches for the Pattno Park Baseball/Softball Fields, to be dedicated to the memory of long time Jay/Black Brook Youth Commission Baseball/Softball Coordinator Gary Whisher. The bleacher and bench materials were being stored at the park to be assembled at a future date at a Work Bee in his honor.
It was recently discovered by Town of Jay employees that a portion of these materials are missing. Supervisor Depo is asking that anyone who might have any information as to what may have happened to these bleachers contact the New York State Police at 518-897-2000.
Supervisor Archie Depo is requesting that residents fill out the survey at the following link:
