Town of Manlius

What Town of Manlius does

Town of Manlius is a municipal government in Onondaga County, New York, serving approximately 32,000 residents across 54 square miles just east of Syracuse. Its jurisdiction encompasses the Villages of Fayetteville, Manlius, and Minoa plus several surrounding hamlets, and it operates under an elected Town Board (Town Supervisor plus six Councilors) with statutory authority under New York State law to levy property taxes, enforce local codes, and deliver public services. Core service lines include the Police Department (established 1985 under a joint intermunicipal agreement with the three villages, handling approximately 20,000 calls for service annually), contracted fire and EMS through four providers totaling $7,320,279 in 2024 (Fayetteville, Manlius, Minoa, Kirkville), the Highway Department maintaining 111 miles of town roads, the Planning and Development Department for permits and zoning, the Assessment Department for property valuation, the Recreation Department, the Town Court, and the Trash & Brush district contracted to Syracuse Haulers. Revenue is generated primarily through property taxes on residential and commercial assessments, special district fees (notably fire/EMS contracts), building permits and planning fees, and trash service charges, augmented by one-time federal ARPA recovery funds ($2,026,660 in 2021).

The Town operates a Revize-powered website (townofmanlius.gov) as its primary digital channel, supplemented by E-Notify email subscriptions, CivicClerk for meeting agendas/minutes and livestreaming, RecDesk for recreation registration, Crashdocs for police accident reports, JustFOIA for public records requests, OffenderWatch for sex offender management, and Onondaga County Image Mate Online for property data. Back-office and governance technology includes an interactive online budget document platform and a full suite of public-facing department microsites. Communications span Facebook, Instagram, YouTube (for livestreamed Town Board meetings), Twitter, and formal public notices.

The Town has positioned itself on environmental and community sustainability: 22 consecutive years of Tree City USA recognition, NYSERDA Clean Energy Community Bronze certification (March 2022), a Climate Smart Communities pledge (April 22, 2020), a Climate Action Plan (adopted July 26, 2023), a fully subscribed 5.83 MW community solar project on a retired landfill managed with Solar Simplified, the Manlius Watershed Stewards program, and AARP Age-Friendly Community certification. Strategic direction is set by the Town's first Comprehensive Plan, adopted July 26, 2023 after a three-year engagement process, organized around six goals: Environmental Protection, Community Character, Welcoming Neighborhoods, Local Commerce, Transportation Networks, and Responsive Government. In 2026, the Town approved a unanimous 12-month moratorium on data processing centers and commercial cryptocurrency mining, indicating active regulatory engagement with emerging land uses.
