Le Roy trustees weigh formal dissolution study and 90‑day ballot trigger

Mayor Gregory Rogers told the Board of Trustees that petition-driven dissolution would require 470 signatures and, "the day the petition gets turned in, the clock starts, and we would have 90 days to put it on a ballot and vote." He said the board could instead pass a resolution to request a study with no statutory deadline; that study would be procured through an RFP and consultants would perform fiscal and service-impact analyses at an estimated cost of $25,000–$30,000.

Trustees debated consolidation as an alternative to dissolution. Trustee William Kettle said the village should pursue professional findings before acting: "We would be remiss if we didn’t investigate and check the boxes and have professional findings that we are going in this direction to benefit LeRoy." Discussion centered on public-safety implications—whether the Town would accept control of the police department—and on how retirement and comp-time obligations for village employees would be handled if dissolution occurred. Mayor Rogers noted the village has "a nest egg of about $2M," which factored into whether commissioners wanted to recommend a study to voters.
