TOWN OF GREECE One Vince Tofany Boulevard - Greece, NY 14612 Tel: {585] 225-2000 0 Fax (585) 723-2459 William D. Reilich Supervisor July 13,2017 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, New York 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: The undersigned government officials represent residents along the south shore of Lake Ontario who have been greatly affected by the increased water levels. We understand that you intend to formally request that President Trump declare the increased lake levels a major disaster under the federal Stafford Act. We are writing to express our strong support for such a request to be made to the President. On behalf of the residents we represent, we must thank you for the ?nancial relief you have been able to secure to this point, and the support you have shown our communities during these series of unfortunate events. However, as you are aware, additional resources may become available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) upon a presidential declaration that a major disaster has occurred. Under the Stafford Act, a request for said declaration is to be made by the Governor of the affected State. As such, we would ask that you request a presidential disaster declaration as soon as possible so that FEMA resources may be made available for our lake and pond front residents. The undersigned government of?cials continue to vigorously advocate for all necessary and available resources for those affected by the increased lake levels. Should you desire any additional information, such as estimates of damages or resources expended, please do not hesitate to contact any of the undersigned. Thank you for your anticipated attention to this urgent matter. William D. Reilich Michael Barry, Jr. Diana Christodaro Brian E.
