Press Release:

Richmond Memorial Library’s Annual Trustee Election will be held in the Library’s Gallery Room on Thursday, May 4 from 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. Any registered voter residing in the Batavia City School District is eligible to vote. There will only be a Trustee Election this year (not a Budget Vote), since an increase in the library budget is not being requested.
Mr. Richard Beatty is the sole candidate running unopposed for the seat. The term is for 3 years and runs from July 2023 through June 2026. Richard was born and raised on the west coast of Florida before setting off on a life and career path that eventually brought him to Batavia. Since the summer of 2000, Richard and RaeAnn Engler have called Summit Street home. Richard is active in the community volunteering for the Holland Land Company, the Batavia Community Garden, GO ART! and as a member of the Books Sandwiched In committee. He has been a docent at Buffalo’s Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, the Darwin Martin House since 2004. Most every morning of the week you will find him at Pub Hub Coffee sorting out the world’s troubles with whomever may be there.

Press release:

Leslie Moma is running as a write-in candidate for the Richmond Memorial Library Board of Trustees.

She and her spouse, David Beatty, moved to Summit Street in 2017 after she completed an Master of Liberal Arts degree from Mississippi State University. They are active members of the community.

David sits on the Batavia Planning Committee and Leslie is a member of the Batavia Zoning Board of Appeals. Additionally, she is a member of the Batavia Community Garden and recently joined the Green Genesee Smart Genesee Leadership Team. She is also the Treasurer of the Landmark Society of Genesee County and an active Master Gardener through the Genesee County Cornell Cooperative Extension.

Leslie is a strong proponent of supporting local businesses and organizations. It is these entities that make each community unique and endearing to those who call it home, whether that is shops on Main Street, the family-run produce stores, or seasonal farmers markets.

She sees the Richmond Memorial Library as a vital hub of civic engagement and learning, where social connections are made and bonds to the community nurtured. She sees the position on the Board of Trustees as a continuation of her community service and asks for the community's support.

The date of the election is Tuesday, June 9th. Absentee ballots were mailed May 22nd to registered voters by the school district. Ballots must be received by 5 p.m. on June 9th to be considered.

If you did not receive a ballot please contact Scott Rozanski, Business administrator for Batavia City School District, at (585) 343-2480, ext. 1002.
