John E. Lawler - Town Supervisor
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We are happy to announce that the Town’s financial status continues to be strong, due largely to the outstanding efforts of the Town Board and all of the town employees to ensure town services are delivered efficiently and effectively while also minimizing costs. Once again, those efforts have resulted in the Town meeting the State’s tax cap mandate of not exceeding an overall tax increase of more than 2%.
Congratulations to Emily Wilson for being selected as our “Waterford Resident That Makes a Difference”. Emily has served the community for the past 25 years as the Town’s representative to the Saratoga County Advisory Youth Board supporting Waterford youth in developing life skills. Mrs. Wilson remains an active member of the Waterford Museum. Thank you Emily for all of your great work on Waterford’s behalf.
A special note of recognition goes to two of our Police Officers who were placed in harms way protecting our citizens during an extremely dangerous crisis. Officers Craig Fifield and Tim Williams were confronted by an individual with a gun who had threatened several town residents and officers. Over the next ten hours, officers from the Waterford PD and NYS Police negotiated with the suspect and the crisis eventually ended with the suspect surrendering and being taken into custody. Officers Fifield and Williams, along with their families, friends and other emergency service responders, attended our October Town Board meeting and Officers Fifield and Williams were presented with commendations and awards for bravery. These awards were given for displaying outstanding initiative, professionalism and courage in an extraordinary dangerous situation. Our thanks to both of these Officers, as well as the entire Waterford Police Department and all of our emergency services responders, for all of their efforts in keeping our community safe.
We continue to add new sections to our website to improve access to information and keep residents up-to-date on current and planned activities. Our town code, which outlines the body of rules, regulations and laws we govern by, has been converted to electronic format and can be accessed anywhere in real time, 24/7. We have also added a Community Activity section that Waterford’s not for profit organizations can use to promote their upcoming public events. If your organization has an activity or event that you would like to publish on our Community Activity Calendar please email the information to This email address is being protected from spambots.

On behalf of the Town Board and all our employees, we wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season.
Our Hearts and prayers are with our Troops all over the world!
