Earlville mayoral race sees two contenders
EARLVILLE – Earlville Village residents go to the voting booth March 15 to select a new mayor, three trustees and a justice. All five candidates are running on independent lines.
Also on the ballot is a public referendum to extend term limits.
The elections will be held from noon to 9 p.m. March 15 in the Municipal Office, located at 8 North Main St.
There are two candidates for mayor: Incumbent Mayor Mark A. Doeberl and newcomer Vito Bolognone. Both candidates submitted completed petitions and are officially on the ballot, according to the Madison County Board of Election’s office in Wamspville. (A bit less than half of the village of Earlville is within Chenango County’s border.)
Doeberl, 49, had been elected to a third, two-year term as village trustee in 2010 before being appointed last summer to assume former Mayor Toni Campbell’s position through May 31 of this year. Campbell resigned from the public office after being arrested for grand larceny and falsifying business records from her employer, Chenango Valley Pet Foods.
Doeberl is a sales manager at Christman Motors in Norwich. He has been a village resident for 24 years. If elected, he said he would like to continue overseeing the $3.2 village water project, which is about 60 percent completed. The village received about $500,000 in state aid for the project, which began last year.
“I would also strive to continue to provide an open government, honest communications and continue to be responsive to the needs of the village,” the candidate said.
Bolognone, 50, described his background and reasons for running for mayor in a flier that was widely distributed to village residents last month. The candidate has lived in the village for the past five years and is a self-employed design and construction professional. He said he has been directly responsible for more than 30 projects over the past 25 years that placed more than $350 million worth of construction in place.
According to the flier, his most recent project included the $4.5 million capital improvement project for the Brookfield Central School District. He also managed the $60 million library project for Colgate University which began in 2005.
“With the state budgetary problems and everyone looking for ways to find money, I think it’s available out there. I would find it to try to boost a lot of kids programs, from preschool training to summer work programs for teens to try to better prepare them for he future,” he said.
Acting Village Justice Ronald Hailston, the incumbent, is unopposed on the ballot for the four-year term. It will be the first time Hailston has run for justice, having been appointed to replace his predecessor, James Peptis, who retired.
Incumbent Trustees Henry R. Moore and Gerald L. Hayes are hoping to keep their positions. They are running for two, open full-term positions. Newcomer Thomas Taylor is running to complete the one-year term vacancy left by Doeberl.
A notice of permissive referendum was filed for voters to extend term limits from two years to four years for the offices of mayor and trustee. If enacted, the new terms would commence following next week’s election.
