AND SO FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, WE'LL BE PUTTING IN A RESOLUTION OF MS.

[00:25:05]

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE REAL ID REQUIREMENT.

WE'VE BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT'S BEEN PRETTY INEQUITABLE.

MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN MARRIED WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD TO CHANGE, CHANGED THEIR NAME WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED, AND ARE NOW HAVING TO GO BACK AND FIND MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES THAT ARE 30, 40 YEARS OLD.

AND IT'S BECOME IT'S A LITTLE CUMBERSOME AND IT GETS DIFFICULT TO FIND.

SO WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP A FEW HOURS ON THE WEEKEND, MAKE IT A LOT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN AND AND TRY AND FIND THOSE DOCUMENTS AS WELL.

SO WE'LL ALSO OFFER PASSPORT CARDS. THE PASSPORTS ALSO SERVE AS A REAL ID.

IT'S FEDERALLY APPROVED. SO IF SOMEONE DOES HAVE SOME ISSUE WITH THE REAL ID THROUGH THE DMV, WE CAN ALSO OFFER THEM THE ALTERNATIVE OF A A PASSPORT.

SO WE'LL BE OPEN THROUGH STARTING THIS SATURDAY AND THROUGH THE END OF MAY.

HOPEFULLY THAT'LL GET US THROUGH THE REAL ID CRUNCH.

BUT IF IF IT CONTINUES AND WE NEED MORE TIME, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT THEN.

BUT SO RIGHT NOW, WE'LL RUN THROUGH THE END OF MAY.

PERFECT. DO THEY STILL. DO THEY NEED AN APPOINTMENT TO DO PASSPORTS? THEY WILL DURING THE WEEK. OKAY, WE'LL CONTINUE, BUT WE'LL TAKE WALK INS ON THE WEEKEND.

OH, OKAY. GOOD TO KNOW. WALK INS FOR PASSPORTS ARE AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS. RIGHT. AND WILL YOU HAVE THE IT DEPARTMENT POST THAT ON OUR WEBSITE SO WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION OUT? YEP. IT'LL BE I MATTER OF FACT, I JUST PUT IT OUT THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE THE MEETING.

SO I WAS GOING TO HAVE JILL PUT ON THE WEBSITE TOMORROW.

TERRIFIC. AND JUST WANTED TO WISH EVERYONE A NATIONAL AND HAPPY NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EARTH DAY.

PLANT A TREE, SOME BUSHES, SOMETHING. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. OKAY. TOWN BOARD. I THINK PAT HAD SOMETHING.

OH. I'M SORRY. FOR ME JUST TO JUST TO QUIET BACK THERE.

JACOBINI. OH, I WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE AN UPDATE.

THE TOWN PARK DREDGING IS SCHEDULED TO START TOMORROW.

SHOULD BE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE FOR THE MAY 1ST DEADLINE THAT WE USUALLY HAVE IT ALL READY FOR.

SHOULD IT BE ANY PROBLEMS, EVERYTHING SHOULD GO SMOOTH. AND ALSO, IN HONOR OF EARTH DAY, WE ARE PLANTING SOME TREES AT THE TOWN PARK AND GETTING RID OF SOME OF THE OLDER TREES THAT ARE DEAD. THANK YOU. THANKS, MATT.

SO I KNOW THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ON THE LAST BOARD MEETING ABOUT THE OLD ARMORED TAPROOM.

OH, YES. WITH THE SIDEWALKS. SO WE ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE OWNERS.

I DO HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM THIS WEEK ABOUT PUTTING A SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE NEW TAVERN.

THEY'RE CALLING IT. WITH A CROSSWALK NEAR THE STOP BAR.

SO WE'LL BE FINALIZING THAT HOPEFULLY SHORTLY AND THEN I CAN UPDATE THE BOARD ON THAT.

ALONG WITH THAT EVAN CLARK AND BAYVIEW WE'RE WORKING ON, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO GET THE TIMING SIGNALS DONE.

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT BEHIND, BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT DONE SOMETIME IN MAY.

WE'LL BRING IT TO THE BOARD. TWO WEEKS AGO, THE HAMPERED MOVES AND HAMMOCKS TRAILS MET WITH THE TOWN OF HAMBURG TRAFFIC SAFETY BOARD.

I THOUGHT IT WENT PRETTY WELL. SOME GOOD IDEAS.

SOME IDEAS THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE INTO THE NEW SENIOR CENTER.

THE SOUTH PARK PROJECT. SO IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE.

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THEM, AND THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. MATT, QUICK QUESTION. THOSE SIDEWALKS, THEN.

I KNOW THAT THAT FACILITY HAS A PARKING LOT THAT'S LIKE, DIAGONAL ACROSS THAT WEIRD INTERSECTION.

ARE THOSE SIDEWALKS GOING TO MAKE IT FEASIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS THE PARKING LOT? ACTUALLY ABOUT 200FT DOWN ON ABBOTT. OKAY. CLOSER TO ORCHARD PARK.

THERE IS ACTUALLY A CROSSWALK RIGHT NOW. I SPOKE WITH GINA FROM THE COUNTY.

SHE THINKS THAT WE SHOULD MOVE IT UP TOWARDS THE STOP BAR WHERE THE LIGHT IS.

SO WE'RE GONNA HOPEFULLY CREATE A CROSSWALK THERE.

BUT ON THE PROPER SIGNAGE. AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO CROSS FROM THE CROSS MART ACROSS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, ESSENTIALLY. I THINK THAT'S THERE TO GET TO THE PARKING LOT THAT WILL EVENTUALLY ALL CONNECT HOPEFULLY.

BUT I DO HAVE A MEETING WITH SOME PEOPLE ON THURSDAY.

OKAY. SO MAYBE WHEN YOU MEET WITH THEM, CAN WE SEE IF WE CAN GET THE CROSSWALK EXTEND TO THAT NEXT STREET SO THAT THERE'S A A CROSS PATH? ABSOLUTELY. PERFECT. THANK YOU. IF I MAY JUST HAVE A PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN ABOUT THE ARMOR IN INTERSECTION.

THE PARKING LOT THAT'S ACROSS FROM THE THE THE BAR IS IT WAS CREATED THROUGH A VARIANCE THAT WAS GRANTED BY THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS.

[00:30:04]

I'M SORRY I MISSPOKE, BUT A RESTRICTION THAT IT WAS FOR EMPLOYEE PARKING, NOT CUSTOMER PARKING.

SO THAT'S MAYBE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT BECAUSE I KNOW THE THE PREVIOUS OWNER.

WHAT'S THAT? CAN YOU EMAIL ME THAT TOMORROW? YEAH, I'LL FIND IT FOR YOU. YEAH, BUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER, YOU KNOW, THE STIPULATION WAS MADE, THE CONDITIONS WERE SET, AND IT WENT WELL FOR THE FIRST YEAR OR SO.

AND THEN EVENTUALLY, YOU KNOW, CUSTOMERS START PARKING ACROSS THE STREET.

AND IT GOT TO A POINT WHERE YOU JUST SAID, WELL, I CAN'T HOW CAN I TELL PEOPLE NOT TO PARK THERE? SO THAT'LL GIVE YOU SOME FRAME OF REFERENCE, I THINK. SORRY TO INTERRUPT. DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THOUGH.

BUT THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE CONCERN OF PATRONS WALKING.

YEAH, THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL INTENT. BUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DO WHAT PEOPLE DO.

PEOPLE DO WHAT PEOPLE DO. RIGHT. BUT IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A CROSSWALK THERE NONETHELESS, WHETHER IT BE FOR LIKE, GO BACK TO CYNTHIA WIGGINS, WHO WAS AN EMPLOYEE.

AND THEY DIDN'T. YOU KNOW, THERE WAS RACIAL OVERTONES AT THE GALLERIA MALL BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A CROSSWALK AND THE BUSSES ONTO THE GALLERIA MALL.

SO WHETHER IT BE FOR EMPLOYEES IN THAT INSTANCE, IT WAS AN EMPLOYEE, BUT WHETHER THEY'RE EMPLOYEES OR PATRONS, I THINK WE SHOULD SUPPORT TRAFFIC SAFETY. AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON THAT.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. WE'RE DOING A LOT OF A LOT OF EFFORTS TO FIX THE INTERSECTION, ALONG WITH PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND MOTOR AND SAFETY.

SO AND I THINK WHAT OR WHAT MATT'S DOING A GREAT JOB WITH IS THAT IN ALL OF THESE PROJECTS, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, ONE ENTITY OR ANOTHER THAT'S INVOLVED, WHETHER IT'S THE COUNTY, THE STATE.

AND MATT HAS DONE A GREAT JOB FORGING REALLY SUPER RELATIONSHIPS WITH BOTH THE COUNTY AND WITH THE STATE.

DOT, WITH BRIAN, WITH GINA. AND THAT'S BEEN VERY, VERY HELPFUL AS WE APPROACH.

OR WE HAVE TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROJECTS OR HE'LL INTERFACE WITH WITH OUR ENGINEERING CONSULTANT, CAMMY. IT'S JUST VERY, VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS HAVE ARE THERE AND, AND MATT IS USING THEM AND WALKING THE PROCESS HAND IN HAND, WHICH IS TERRIFIC BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO, WHAT WE CAN'T DO. AND SO I APPRECIATE THE WAY THAT YOU'VE BEEN CARRYING THIS.

MATT'S DONE A GREAT JOB. HE'S AN AFFABLE, INTELLIGENT GUY.

THAT'S WHY I RECOMMENDED HIM FOR THE POSITION.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT ON THE CITY OF WICKHAM THINGS.

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NFTA. THEY WERE DRAGGED INTO IT.

IT WAS THE MCKINLEY MALL OR THE GALLERIA MALL THAT DIDN'T WANT THE BUSSES INTO THEIR PROPERTY.

SO. JUST SO. OH, I AGREE, I REMEMBER THAT, AND STEVE BOYD MADE A BUNDLE OFF THAT TOO, BACK THEN.

I'LL TELL YOU. I'LL TELL YOU AFTER THE FACT. OKAY.

REPORTS FROM THE BOARD START WITH COUNCILWOMAN FARRELL.

LORENZO. OH, JILL. KING. GOTTA HAVE A LINE. YOU HAVE TO HOP RIGHT UP THERE.

JILL. SHE. IF ANYBODY HAD ANYTHING TO SAY. YOU GUYS ALL UP ALONG THE WALL.

FROM NOW ON, WE ONLY HAVE REGISTRATION FOR CAMP IN TOWN FOR TWO WEEKS, AND WE ARE COMPLETELY FULL WITH WAITING LISTS.

100% RESIDENT. SO VERY EXCITING. SWIM LESSONS OPENS ON MAY 5TH.

THAT ALWAYS FILLS UP FAST AS WELL. SO TELL YOUR FRIENDS.

TELL EVERYBODY. WE WILL ALSO BE HOSTING AN INFORMATIONAL SESSION ON APRIL 28TH AT THE CURRENT COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER FROM 6 TO 730. AND WE ARE ALSO ACTIVELY LOOKING AND HILLARY IS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB.

WE STARTED A SENIOR YOUTH ENGAGEMENT SERVICE.

SENIOR ENGAGEMENT SERVICE. AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING PEOPLE AWAY.

SO IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY CAN VOLUNTEER AND WHAT THEY CAN DO.

SO PLEASE LET US KNOW. SO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? I'M GOING TO GO THREE TIMES.

OKAY. NOW COUNCILWOMAN LAWRENCE. OKAY. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE I KNOW WE MENTIONED IT AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT MAY OUR HAMBURG BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE IS THEY HOST A BEAUTIFICATION MONTH IN OUR TOWN.

AND I KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT EFFORTS GOING ON.

I DON'T KNOW MRS. HAHN, DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THAT? WHERE CAN PEOPLE GET INFORMATION? THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE.

AND THEY CAN GET MORE INFORMATION AND PICK UP SUPPLIES.

OKAY, GREAT. SO TERRIFIC. SO THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE FOR SUPPLIES THAT ARE NEEDED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MAY.

AND THAT'S GREAT. WHEN WE SEE THOSE EFFORTS, EVERYONE COMING TOGETHER IN OUR IN OUR TOWN AGAIN, TODAY IS EARTH DAY, AS IT WAS MENTIONED. SO BEING THAT IT'S EARTH DAY, I WILL JUST COMMENT AND THANK THE CONSERVATION ADVISORY BOARD.

THEY HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL MOVIE NIGHT RECENTLY, AND THAT WAS A GREAT A GREAT EVENT FOR THEM TO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

[00:35:08]

AND WE'VE GOT MANY OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY, EITHER GETTING GRANT FUNDING OR WORKING WITH OTHER AGENCIES.

SO THAT WAS GREAT TO SEE THOSE THREE GROUPS COME TOGETHER.

AND I THINK THEY REALLY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE, AND THEY'RE INTENDING TO CONTINUE TO MEET TOGETHER.

AND THEN I WOULD ALSO JUST IN GENERAL LIKE TO THANK WE HAVE MANY PROJECTS GOING ON IN THE TOWN.

IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE EXCITING THINGS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FUNDING FOR, THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERWAY FOR YEARS.

THINGS SOME PROJECTS WE'VE BUILT UPON OTHER PROJECTS, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH THAT'S GOING ON WHETHER IT'S TO IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY IN THE TOWN OR TO IMPROVE SOME OF THE AMENITIES AT OUR FACILITIES.

THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON, AND IT REALLY IS HINGES ON THE COOPERATION AND THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN SO MANY OF OUR TOWN DEPARTMENT HEADS AND EMPLOYEES AND COMMITTEES WHICH INCLUDE OUR RESIDENTS. SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM, BECAUSE IT'S WHEN THEY COME TOGETHER AND COLLABORATE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THESE PROJECTS. AND WE DO HAVE A LOT GOING ON.

SOMETIMES I VISUALIZE CAMI AND MATT AND THE HIGHWAY AND EVERYONE ACTUALLY WITH WITH A LOT OF BALLS IN YOUR AND YOU'RE JUGGLING AND I KNOW YOU PROBABLY THINK OF THE SAME THING. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE JUGGLING A LOT, BUT KNOW THAT IT'S APPRECIATED AND THE END RESULTS AS WE START TO SEE THESE PROJECTS COME TO FRUITION.

IT REALLY IS IS TERRIFIC. JOB WELL DONE EVERYONE.

OKAY, MIKE JUST WANTED TO REITERATE BETH'S COMMENTS OF THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY RECOGNIZING EARTH DAY.

I KNOW JILL DID THE EVENT LAST WEEK WHERE WE ARE COLLECTING THE NUMBER TWO RECYCLED ITEMS. SO I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL HEAR HOW WE DID ON THAT.

AND THEN I ALSO WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THIS WEEKEND THERE ARE THE BEACH CLEANUPS THROUGHOUT ERIE COUNTY.

SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BEACH CLEANUP OPPORTUNITIES, THAT IS THROUGHOUT ERIE COUNTY THROUGH BUFFALO, WATERKEEPERS, BUT THERE'S NOTHING ELSE STOPPING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM STOPPING BY A LOCAL AREA.

PARK, BEACH, WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOUR PERSONAL SCHEDULES AND TAKING PART IN THAT.

ONCE YOU GET DONE DOING THAT, I WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE VILLAGE ACTUALLY HAS A MOVIE DAY GOING ON ON SATURDAY AS WELL.

SO THE TOWN OR THE COUNTYWIDE BEACH CLEANUPS ARE STARTING AT 10 A.M.

THE MOVIE STARTS AT 11 A.M. AND IT IS WILD ROBOT, AND IT IS PUT ON BY THEIR CONSERVATION COMMITTEE TO REALLY DRAW FOCUS ONTO THE BIRDS AND THE BIRDS IN THE AREA, BECAUSE THE HANDMADE BIRD SANCTUARY IS BEING RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY AS A BIRDING.

BIRDING A HIGH POINT FOR BIRD ENTHUSIASTS. SO THAT'S NICE TO KNOW.

AND IT GOES WITH ALL OF THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH BEAUTIFICATION AND MAKING THE COMMUNITY NICER.

SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, AND THAT'S IT. HEY, DAN, I'M ON EARTH DAY.

I WON'T TALK SO MUCH. SAVE SOME OXYGEN. I JUST I'LL STEAL FRANK'S THUNDER.

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ARMY RESERVES TOMORROW FOR THE 117TH BIRTHDAY.

AND JUST A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE PASSING OF THE POPE.

THANK YOU. AGAIN. HAPPY EARTH DAY. WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK, AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO IMPROVING OUR WATER QUALITY. I WAS TALKING TO OUR TOWN ENGINEER AND OUR SEWAGE PLANT.

I KNOW THERE'S SOME RENOVATIONS, BUT WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

WHEN YOU DRIVE BY WOODLAWN BEACH AND YOU SMELL SEWAGE, IT REMINDS ME OF A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

AND WE CAN AND WILL DO BETTER. AND I'M COMMITTED TO THAT ON EARTH DAY, TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE CAN IN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG, THAT BEING A COUNTY PLANT, BUT ALSO SOMETHING WITHIN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG.

AS FAR AS THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCATE, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW HIRE.

I PRACTICE A LOT IN THE AREA OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE, AND MOST TOWNS ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE.

I THINK WE MIGHT BE ONE OF TWO. THERE'S 50 TOWN AND VILLAGE COURTS AND ONE OF ONLY TWO TOWNS THAT HAVE A FULL TIME DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCATE. SO IN MY OPINION, THAT'S A GOOD USE OF TOWN RESOURCES BECAUSE IT HELPS IT HELPS LAW ENFORCEMENT.

IT HELPS IT HELPS VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

IT HELPS FAMILIES. IT HELPS OUR COMMUNITY TO SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

SO I'M HAPPY THAT WE HAD UNANIMITY ON THE BOARD WITH THIS.

IT'S SOMETHING WE ALL AGREED TO SUPPORT THE HIRE OF A FULL TIME DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCATE THAT I KNOW THE CHIEF AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT VETTED EXTENSIVELY AND MADE SURE THEY HAD THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB.

[00:40:01]

SO WITH THAT HAPPY EARTH DAY. THANK YOU. OKAY.

SATURDAY HAS BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE. IS GOING TO BE THE BEACH CLEANUP, AND THERE WILL BE SUPPLIES THAT MY OFFICE IS WORKING WITH ASSEMBLYMAN RIVERA, AND THAT WILL START AT WOODLAWN BEACH.

THERE'LL BE SUPPLIES THERE FROM 10 TO 2. SO YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR SUPPLIES THERE, AND THEN THERE'LL BE REFRESHMENTS AFTERWARDS, AND THEN LET'S SEE. THE DV ADVOCATE, I WANT TO THANK THE CHIEF AND CAPTAIN BAKER AND NOW LET'S SEE TRACY HAFNER FOR HELPING WITH INTERVIEWING ALL OF THE CANDIDATES.

THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM. AND BUT WE GOT THROUGH ALL OF THEM BECAUSE KSI ACTUALLY WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET THIS POSITION BACK, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE GOT SOMEBODY THAT'S REALLY GOOD FOR THE TOWN OF HAMBURG.

AND WE THINK WE GOT SOMEBODY IN ABBY. SO I THINK SHE'LL WORK OUT VERY WELL.

AND ALSO SATURDAY WE DID A BLOOD FRIDAY. GOOD FRIDAY, WE DID A BLOOD DRIVE HERE.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE BECAUSE I HAD TO KEEP RUNNING AND OPENING THE DOOR. SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT SHOWED UP TO DO THAT AND TO DONATE BLOOD THROUGH CONNECT LIFE. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT WE ACTUALLY ASSISTED WITH THAT.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. SO HAPPY EARTH DAY.

AND THANKS, EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT. MOTION.

MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOTION TO ADJOURN. SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
