| Supervisor's Message |
| There have been a number of incidents where Town employees or contractors who are providing
municipal services on behalf of the Town have been subjected to abuse and harassment in the course of
their duties. Most recently, there has been a report that a homeowner in Putnam Lake harassed an
employee of Suburban Carting, while he was in the course of his duties, calling him a racial epithet.
No worker providing essential municipal services should be subjected to such abusive and degrading
treatment. Such conduct will not be tolerated.
The Town of Patterson stands with its employees and contractors and will take all necessary and appropriate steps to protect them. |

| NYSEG Warning: Scams Calls |
| Customers have reported receiving automated calls from “NYSEG” telling them that their
electricity will be shut off later that day. The customer is instructed to call back to prevent this.
The callback numbers, which vary, answer with “NYSEG automated service line,” and prompt you to press

These calls are not from NYSEG and are an attempt to scam residents and businesses. Some precautions to take to avoid falling victim to a scam:
