FALCONER – Annette Miller has resigned from her position on the Falconer Village Board of Trustees, although she will serve until the end of December.

Miller’s resignation was not completely unexpected as she had been in constant communication with Mayor James Jaroszynski for months – regarding the possibility that she would have to step down before or at the end of her term.

“I have some personal issues that I need to deal with,” Miller said. “I don’t think I can properly serve the village or those I represent, so it’s about time.” In addition, I have been talking to the mayor about his resignation for months. …So it wasn’t a big surprise.

Jaroszynski said any residents interested in filling the soon-to-be vacant position should contact him at the village office at 716-665-4400 or by email at [email protected].

Additionally, trustees were informed of the latest holiday-themed decorations to adorn the village’s Christmas tree in the Community Building, 101 W. Main St.

Village historian Brenda Cavallaro decorated the village’s official Christmas tree, located at 101 W. Main St., with the names of 127 markets that previously stood in the village at 52 locations, from 1880 to 1985, on homemade decorations. Photo submitted

“The Christmas tree in the community building lobby, decorated by village historian Brenda Cavallaro, features the names of the village’s 127 markets with 52 locations from 1880 to 1985,” Village Clerk Cindy Capestrani wrote in an email .

In other matters:

– The grand opening ceremony for Prevention Works, 1 E. Main St., has been rescheduled for Jan. 10, at 3 p.m.

– The Village of Falconer’s application to New York’s Pro-Housing Communities program has been approved. As a certified pro-housing community, the village is now eligible to apply for various additional funding programs such as NY Forward, Capestani wrote.
