PROPOSED LOCAL LAW TO BE KNOWN AS PROPOSED LOCAL LAW NUMBER EIGHT 2025 SAID LOCAL LAW PROVIDES FOR AMENDMENTS OF THE HAMBURG TOWN CODE, CHAPTER 280, ENTITLED ZONING BY ADDING NEW ARTICLES ENTITLED L. I. LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND GI GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND REPEALING ARTICLE 28 M1 INDUSTRIAL PARK, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND AMEND CHAPTER 280 ZONING BY ADDING NEW DEFINITIONS TO ARTICLE 49 DEFINITIONS AND WORD USAGE AS FOLLOWS. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. ANYBODY SIGN UP TO SPEAK AT THIS ONE? WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS SIGNED UP FOR THIS ONE. OKAY. ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS? DID YOU RAISE YOUR HAND, SIR? I DON'T KNOW.

OH, YES. SO I GUESS WE DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED TO SIGN UP TO SPEAK. THAT WASN'T IN THE NOTICE, BUT I THINK MAYBE ALL OF US HERE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE REZONING. AND IS THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE SURVEY. WE'VE BEEN NOTICING SOME SURVEYORS IN OUR AREA. WE NOTICED THEY DID WHAT M 1 TO 1 MEANS AND ALL THAT. 
          BUT I GUESS WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF DOING THAT? THE LETTER SAYS JUST TO BRING THINGS UP TO DATE. 
          WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? EXPLAIN THAT TO JOSH. SORRY. YOU'RE BETTER IF YOU DO HAVE ANY COMMENTS. IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT. IF YOU'RE SIGNED UP OR NOT, YOU CAN STILL JUST RAISE YOUR HAND OR STAND UP TO BE RECOGNIZED. AND JUST PLEASE COME UP AND USE THE MICROPHONE SO THAT EVERYTHING'S PROPERLY RECORDED. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. JUST TO INTRODUCE WHO I AM, JOSHUA ROGERS, PLANNING DEPARTMENT. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE 
          [00:05:03]
REZONING, THIS PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT IS FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS. ONE, THERE'S AN EXISTING ZONING DISTRICT IN THE TOWN CALLED M-1. IT'S OFFICE PARK AND RESEARCH PARK. 
          IT'S AROUND JEFFREY BOULEVARD. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE NOTICE, THERE'S ALSO SOME PROPERTIES OVER BY LAKE AVENUE AND ABBOTT ROAD NEARING ORCHARD PARK. THE PURPOSE OF THESE REZONINGS ARE THE TOWN IS LOOKING TO REMOVE THE M-1 DISTRICT. WHAT'S ALLOWED IN IT RIGHT NOW ARE ONLY OFFICES AND LABORATORIES AND SMALL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT. WHAT WE'D BE LOOKING TO DO IS REMOVE THAT ZONING DISTRICT, ADD IT TO WHAT'S GOING TO BE CALLED LEE RIGHT NOW. THAT'S M2. 
          AND THEN GI, WHICH STANDS FOR GENERAL INDUSTRIAL. THAT'S CURRENTLY M3. AND THE PROPOSED REZONINGS ARE FOR THOSE PROPERTIES OVER AT JEFFREY BOULEVARD. AND THE PROPERTIES OVER BY LAKEVIEW LAKE AVE AND ABBOTT ROAD TO COME IN CONFORMANCE. SOME OF THEM ARE SPLIT ZONED. AND WHAT SPLIT ZONED MEANS IS THERE'S TWO ZONING DISTRICTS ON ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY. SOME OF THEM ARE M1 AND M2. THERE'S A THE CHURCH. OUR LADY OF SACRED HEART IS ZONED C-2, M1, AND M2. SO THERE'S THREE ZONING DISTRICTS ON ONE PARCEL. WHAT THIS REZONING WOULD BE DOING IS CLEANING UP THAT ZONING. SO THERE'S NO PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. 
          THERE'S NO PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION. I KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF NEIGHBORS WHO GOT A NOTICE THAT THEY'RE WITHIN 500FT. NONE OF THESE REZONINGS WOULD IMPACT THEIR PROPERTY. 
          ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE BEING REZONED ARE EITHER ZONED M2 TO MAKE IT ALL IN CONFORMANCE, OR THEY'RE BEING REZONED C-2 TO ALLOW FOR THAT CHURCH TO CONTINUE, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT ZONED. SO IN SUMMARY, THESE PROPOSED REZONINGS, THERE'S NO DEVELOPMENT, THERE'S NO PROPOSAL FOR CONSTRUCTION. IT'S REALLY CLEANING UP THE ZONING FOR SOME AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN ZONED THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE ZONING CODE. THANK YOU. I GOT TO GO IN FRONT. YES, YES, THANK YOU, MR. ROGERS. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS LYNN BRAUN. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED? THAT'S IT. OKAY. LYNN BRAUN, I'M WONDERING, DOES THIS NEW ZONING, DOES IT AFFECT THE BUSINESS OWNERS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE THAT ALREADY HAVE EXISTING BUSINESSES ON THESE PROPERTIES? THAT'S THE QUESTION. JOSH. JOSH I WOULD ACTUALLY ALLOWS IT TO CONTINUE WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND IF THEY WANTED TO. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, NO, IT DOES NOT AFFECT EXISTING BUSINESS OWNERS. 
          ACTUALLY, WHAT IT DOES IS ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE THE USES THAT THEY'RE DOING, BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN M-1, WE'RE MOVING TO M2 TO TO CONTINUE THOSE ALLOWED USES, AND IT ACTUALLY ALLOWS THEM TO EXPAND THEIR USE IF THEY WANT TO. SO NONE OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS M2 AND M3 BEING REZONED, LEE AND GI, THERE'S NO CHANGES TO THEM. THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE SAME USES THAT ARE ALLOWED RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE MOVING M-1 BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THAT ARE ALLOWED IS OFFICES AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. THANK YOU JOSH. YEP. AND THIS YOUNG MAN DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB FOR THE TOWN. EVERY TIME I TALK TO HIM, HE HE'S ALWAYS STRAIGHT UP. SO. 
          HELLO. MY NAME IS ANNA. AND I WANTED TO QUESTION SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T TOUCH ON. MAYBE OVERLOOKED. RIGHT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE'S A UP LUKASHEVICH. MY NAME IS ANNA, AND I'M RIGHT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE'S A PLAYGROUND, AND THERE'S A PARCEL THAT'S GOING TO BE ZONED. LOOKS LIKE THE RAILROAD TRACK. I JUST WAS CURIOUS. YOU DID NOT TOUCH ON THAT. WHAT? THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN THERE? IS THAT THE PARK LINE? THANK YOU. THERE ARE THREE PROPERTIES. THERE ARE THREE PROPERTIES THAT I DIDN'T MENTION. THERE'S TWO OVER AT KATELYN TERRACE. YOU'LL SEE ON THE ZONING MAP. IF YOU LOOK AT THE WEBSITE, THEY'RE BEING PROPOSED TO BE REZONED TO WHAT'S CALLED THE PR DISTRICT THAT STANDS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, MEANING THAT THERE'S NO DEVELOPMENT ALLOWED IN THAT DISTRICT. PARKS AND RECREATION ONLY ALLOWS FOR PARKS, RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OR OPEN SPACE. SO WE REZONE THOSE TWO PARCELS BECAUSE THEY ABUT PENN-DIXIE AND PENN-DIXIE IS ALREADY ZONED PARKS AND RECREATION. AND THEN THAT PARCEL THAT YOU MENTIONED OVER BY THE RAILROAD, THE RAILROAD IS ALREADY ZONED M-2. SO WE REZONE IT TO BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THAT. THE ONE CAVEAT WITH THE RAILROAD IS IT SUPERSEDES OUR ZONING ANYWAYS. SO ZONING, IT REALLY DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT THE RAILROAD IS GOING TO DO. THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE USED AS A RAILROAD. WE'RE JUST DOING THAT ZONING TO MAKE IT MORE IN CONFORMANCE WITH WHAT'S ALREADY EXISTING. SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY DEVELOPMENT OR ANY CHANGES TO THAT RAILROAD. WE'RE JUST CHANGING THE ZONING OF IT. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? NOPE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE SECOND.

I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THESE ISSUES BEFORE AND IT'S JUST MY PREFERENCE AND I KNOW THE CITIZENS HAD EXPRESSED I THINK THIS IS FOR THE BOND FOR THE SENIOR CENTER. I WOULD WAIVE ANY FURTHER READING OF IT AND SAY AS AS LISTED, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY READ. AND THE BEST PRACTICES IN NEW YORK STATE GOVERNMENT ARE TO SUMMARIZE THE THE VERBIAGE. I WAS GIVEN ADVICE BY LEGAL THAT THE THAT READING OF CERTAIN SECTIONS WERE APPROPRIATE AND REQUIRED AND I'M OKAY I JUST WELL ON THAT ISSUE I DID WRITE MR. FARRELL A LETTER BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN HIM AND HIS SISTER ON THIS BOARD, AND I DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE TO MR. FARRELL. I DID CITE THE NEW YORK CODE OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW. AND I DISAGREE WITH MR. FARRELL'S LEGAL OPINION ON THIS. BUT IF YOU AND IT'S NOT UP TO HIM, IT'S UP TO THE BOARD. HE DOESN'T DECIDE WHAT'S READ THE BOARD. SO I'M MAKING A MOTION THAT THE THAT MR. FARRELL SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF ON ANY MATTERS PERTAINING TO WHEN HIS SISTER IS GOING TO VOTE. FOR THE RECORD, THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF BOND COUNSEL, WHICH HAS BEEN HIRED BY THE TOWN BOARD. I WOULD ACTUALLY PREFER TO HEAR FROM MR. MCGRATH. MR. FARRELL IS YOU HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. YEAH. IS BOND COUNSEL STILL HERE? MEMBERS OF THAT FIRM HAD MADE A PRESENTATION DURING THE WORK SESSION AND THEN LEFT BECAUSE THERE'S NO FURTHER NEED FOR THEM AT THE TIME. AND I ACTUALLY DID MISSPOKE, MISSPEAK.

CALLS FOR ROLL CALL. VOTE COME UP FOR AIR SUPERVISOR RACZYNSKI, I WOULD LIKE ON THIS ISSUE. OH, I'M SORRY, WE NEEDED. I'M SORRY. 
          NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND, I'M THE QUESTION. I DID SOME RESEARCH, AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW. AND THE BOARD, THE LOW BIDDER, THE LOW BIDDER FOR THIS SENIOR CENTER WAS THE PARTY WAS THE CONTRACTOR FOR THE WEST SENECA COMMUNITY CENTER. AND THEY ENDED UP AND I WROTE ALL MY BOARD MEMBERS ON THIS. I DID 
          [00:20:01]
SOME RESEARCH ON IT. THAT BIDDER WAS 2016, IN WEST SENECA, WHERE THEY HAVE A LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY CENTER ENDED UP GOING. THEY BID 9.8 MILLION AND THEY ENDED UP 3.6 MILLION, OVER 3.6 MILLION. AND THAT RESULTED IN AN AUDIT BY THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER. THE WEST SENECA TOWN BOARD. NOW, WE'RE FIDUCIARIES HERE ON THIS BOARD, AND THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THINGS PROPERLY. SO WHAT I'M ASKING MY COLLEAGUES TO DO IS TO TABLE THIS MOTION OR TABLE THIS BOND RESOLUTION, UNTIL WE CAN INVESTIGATE THIS CONTRACTOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE, IN FACT, THE LOWEST BIDDER. NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME OTHER BIDS THAT WE RECEIVED. AND IF THIS CONTRACTOR HAS A PATTERN OF UNDERBIDDING TO GET THE JOB RIGHT, IF THEY BID THE LOWEST BUT THEN COST THE TOWN MORE MONEY, WE COULD BE IN SOME PERIL. SO I'M MAKING A MOTION TO TABLE THIS TO ALLOW OUR TOWN ENGINEER AND OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS CONTRACT. I DON'T WANT TO. I'M NOT GOING TO NAME THE CONTRACTOR HERE. IT'S IN THE RESOLUTION. BUT I THINK WE OWE IT TO THE CITIZENS AND THE TAXPAYERS BEFORE, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO RAISE PEOPLE'S TAXES AND WE SHOULD MAKE SURE WE DO IT RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S MY MY, AT THIS TIME, I'M ASKING THAT THE TOWN BOARD TABLE THIS AND ACT APPROPRIATELY AS FIDUCIARIES. AND THAT'S MY MOTION AT THIS TIME. AND YOUR WAY OF INVESTIGATING IS WHAT I MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WAS A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. THE PREVIOUS SUPERVISOR AND, AND THERE WERE SOME SHENANIGANS GOING ON WITH THE, WITH THE SUPERVISOR AND TOWN BOARD. SO I'M THE BOTH BIDS WERE RECEIVED PROPERLY. MR. YES, SIR. AND OKAY. I MEAN, IT WAS IT WAS THEY CAME IN AT IT'S IT'S I GUESS I SHOULD I SHOULD PUT IT BECAUSE THE PUBLIC CAN LOOK IT UP. SO IT'S RESETARITS CONSTRUCTION R E E T A R I T CONSTRUCTION. THAT WAS THE ONE THAT WEST SENECA SELECTED. THAT'S R E S E T A R I T S. AND SO I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE WISE FOR US BEFORE WE SPEND MONEY, THAT WE LOOK INTO IT BECAUSE THERE WERE OTHER BIDS THAT WE RECEIVED. IS THAT RIGHT? MR. DID RECEIVE OTHER BIDS TO TWO GENERAL CONTRACTOR BIDS, AND THAT WE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND MAKE SURE AND REACH OUT TO THEM AND SAY, HEY, LOOK, MAYBE AND MAYBE THEY HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED IN WEST SENECA. BUT THEY WENT OVER BUDGET BY 40%, AND THAT RESULTED IN AN AUDIT OF THE TOWN BOARD OF WEST SENECA. AND THAT AUDIT FOUND THAT THE BOARD DID NOT ACT PROPERLY AND THAT THERE WERE OVERRUNS FOR CONSTRUCTION. AND THERE MAY NOT BE ANYTHING NEFARIOUS, BUT I THINK WE OWE IT TO THE CITIZENS TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO RAISE BONDS, WHICH ARE GOING TO RESULT IN TAX INCREASE, THAT WE JUST DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. 
          THERE'S I MEAN, THERE'S NO RUSH TO DO THIS. AND WE AND IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, DO IT RIGHT. 
          YOU JUST MADE THE COMMENT THAT IT WAS THE BOARD. YOU JUST MADE THE COMMENT THAT THE TOWN BOARD, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE UPSET IN YOUR TONE WITH ME. THIS IS DEMOCRACY. IF YOU DISAGREE, THAT'S FINE. SPEND OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. I DON'T THINK SO. SO CAMI, OUR TOWN ENGINEER IS HERE. SURE. YES. YEAH. SO, CAMI. PERSON AT A TIME, PLEASE. SO, CAMI. GERALD, TOWN ENGINEER. 
          SO COUNCIL MEMBER WOLSKI DID REACH OUT TO ME AT ABOUT 4 P.M. THIS AFTERNOON WITH HIS CONCERNS. I DID WHAT RESEARCH I COULD IN THE SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU. THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU. IS THAT BETTER? OKAY, I DID WHAT RESEARCH I COULD ON THE WEST SENECA PROJECT. IN ADVANCE OF THIS MEETING. I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE REPORT OF EXAMINATION FROM THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE FOR THE WEST SENECA PROJECT. I DID EMAIL IT TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY JUST BEFORE OUR WORK SESSION TODAY, SO YOU HAVE PROBABLY NOT HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT, BUT I CAN PULL A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION. THE KEY FINDINGS IS THAT THE TOWN BOARD DID NOT PROPERLY PLAN OR MANAGE THE CAPITAL PROJECT, OR CLEARLY INFORM TAXPAYERS WHEN THE ESTIMATED COSTS AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT CHANGED. THE. IT ALSO SAYS THE TOWN OFFICIALS DID NOT ENSURE AN ITEMIZED PRODUCT BUDGET OUTLINING REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES WAS MAINTAINED. SO WE HAVE ALREADY HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT ABOUT TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF THE FINANCES OF THIS PROJECT IN THAT ITEMIZED DETAIL. ALSO, A COUPLE NOTES. IT DOES SAY THAT THE PROJECT CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE PLANNING STAGE TO ADDRESS ISSUES WITH SOME DAMAGED TOWN BUILDINGS, WHICH REQUIRED THEM TO MOVE DEPARTMENTS, WHICH IS WHY THE PROJECT KIND OF STARTED AS A LIBRARY RENOVATION AND BECAME MORE OF A COMMUNITY CENTER, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT. IT 
          [00:25:04]
SAYS THAT THE ENGINEER'S PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE WAS 9.8 MILLION, AND THAT WAS PREPARED IN MARCH OF 2016. THEN IN MAY OF 2016, THE BOARD PASSED THEIR BOND RESOLUTION. THEN IN OCTOBER OF 2016, THEY WENT OUT FOR BID. AND SO THE BIDS CAME IN HIGHER THAN THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE. AND THE ENGINEER ACTUALLY PRODUCED A MEMO TO THAT TOWN BOARD IN DECEMBER OF 2016, SAYING THAT THE BIDS WERE MORE THAN THE INITIAL ESTIMATE BECAUSE IT WAS MADE PRIOR TO THE ADDITION OF A SECOND STORY OFFICE SPACE AND HIGH CEILING SPACE FOR THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT. SO THE TOWN BOARD HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR THE PROJECT FOR POOR PLANNING, IN THAT THEY PASSED A RESOLUTION FOR THEIR BOND BASED ON THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT THE BIDS ACTUALLY CAME IN AS. RECITATIVE. THIS IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE REPORT, SO IT SEEMS TO BE THAT IN THE PLANNING AND DESIGN THERE WERE MISCOMMUNICATIONS AND SOME LACK OF TRANSPARENCY SEEMS TO BE THE BIG CONCERN FROM THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE. SO CAN YOU COMPARE THAT TO THE PROCESS THAT WAS UTILIZED HERE AND WHAT WE'RE PRESENTED WITH THIS EVENING? SO THE TOWN HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR OVER A YEAR, TWO YEARS AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A NEW PROJECT VERSUS RENOVATION OF AN EXISTING BUILDING. ALSO, WE HAVE NOW OPENED OUR BIDS, SO WE HAVE THE ACTUAL NUMBERS FROM THE CONTRACTORS. I CANNOT SAY THAT THERE WON'T BE ISSUES ALONG THE WAY. WE WILL DIG IN THE GROUND TO PUT IN UTILITIES. 
          YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL FIND, BUT ONE OF THE BIG DIFFERENCE THAT WE HAVE FOUND ON ALL PROJECTS IS THAT WHEN YOU RENOVATE AN OLD BUILDING, THAT IS WHEN YOU DISCOVER A LOT OF ISSUES IN THE OLD BUILDING AND YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT, AND THOSE ARE UNPLANNED THINGS. 
          DURING CONSTRUCTION, THIS APPEARS TO BE UNPLANNED THINGS DURING PLANNING AND DESIGN. SO I DO FEEL LIKE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PROJECTS, BUT I LEAVE IT TO THE BOARD TO CONSIDER. AND THIS WAS AGAIN ONLY WHAT I WAS ABLE TO WORK ON IN THE LAST FEW HOURS. 
          I WOULD JUST ASK THE TWO GENERAL CONTRACTOR. WITHOUT GOING INTO TOO GREAT OF DETAIL, HOW CLOSE WERE THEY? THEIR BID NUMBERS? BECAUSE IT'S PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AT THIS POINT. SO THE THE GENERAL CONTRACTS, WHICH BOTH CAME IN AT OVER $6 MILLION, WERE ABOUT $150,000 IN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PRICES. THEY WERE SO VERY CLOSE. AND WE HAVE WE HAVE ASKED THEM TO FILL OUT A QUESTIONNAIRE ON THEIR EXPERIENCE, THEIR FINANCIAL STABILITY, THEIR PLANT AND LABOR AVAILABILITY. WE HAVE ASKED THEM FOR REFERENCES ON PROJECTS, AND THE TWO ARE SO CLOSE. IT ONLY COMES DOWN TO A SMALL PRICE DIFFERENCE. AND HAVE YOU HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING INFORMATION FROM THE LOWEST BIDDER? WHEN YOU ASK FOR FURTHER DETAILS, CLARIFICATION, SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION IN A IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME SINCE OUR BID OPENING, I HAVE ASKED THEM MULTIPLE QUESTIONS AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED REGULARLY AND THEY GAVE US A LIST OF REFERENCES AS WELL. THEY DID. DID THEY LIST WEST SENECA AS ONE? THEY DID LIST WEST SENECA AS A SIMILAR PROJECT, PROBABLY DUE TO THE SIZE AND SCOPE. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BEING THAT THERE WAS A RENOVATION INVOLVED IN WEST SENECA. AND THERE WILL NOT BE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL A NEW BUILDING. SURE, THEY DID ADD ON TO THE WEST SENECA. IT DOES SEEM LIKE WEST SENECA MADE A LOT OF DECISIONS ALONG THE WAY TO ADD THINGS AND CHANGE THINGS DEPENDING ON WHAT DEPARTMENTS THEY WANTED TO MOVE INTO, WHAT SPACE THEY EVEN MY UNDERSTANDING, AT LEAST AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT, WHICH IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD, THEY EVEN LEFT SOME LIKE UNCOMPLETED OFFICE SPACE TO POSSIBLY RENOVATE IN THE FUTURE FOR DEPARTMENTS. I MEAN, WE HAVE A CLEAR PLAN ON WHAT THE OFFICE SPACE AND AND ALL THE OTHER ACTIVITY SPACE IS BEING USED FOR THIS COMMUNITY CENTER. I THINK THIS PROJECT'S BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THAT. I'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST TWO YEARS, AND THEY WERE PROBABLY DOING IT TWO YEARS BEFORE I GOT HERE. I THINK THE FINISHED PRODUCT THAT WE HAVE IN OUR HANDS RIGHT NOW HAS BEEN SORT OF A TWO YEAR PROCESS. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE THE HISTORY ALL BEFORE THAT. 
          THAT WAS A LONG TIME COMING. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. ROLL CALL VOTE. SO I PUT FORTH A MOTION. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A SECOND ON IT, BUT I DID PUT FORTH A MOTION TO TABLE TO INVESTIGATE. SECOND. NO, NO OKAY. WE DON'T HAVE A SECOND TO TABLE ON THE ORIGINAL. WE DON'T HAVE A SECOND TO TABLE. NO. WE HAD THE ORIGINAL MOTION TO APPROVE WAS COUNCIL MEMBER AND COUNCIL MEMBER FARRELL LORENZ. AND THIS IS NOT THE MOTION TO DECLARE. BE CLEAR. THIS IS NOT THE MOTION AWARDING THE PROJECT. THIS IS JUST TO GET THE BOND PAPERWORK STARTED. OKAY. EXCUSE ME, I HAVE A QUESTION. JANINE HILLMAN, IN LAYMAN'S TERM WITH THE BOND, YOU SAID IT WAS 9.3 
          [00:30:04]
$9,034,700. OKAY. AND SO AND THAT'S OVER A PERIOD OF HOW MANY YEARS? 30, 30, 30. OKAY. 
          SO WHEN YOU BREAK THAT DOWN, WHAT IS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR TAX BASE FOR PEOPLE HERE IN THE TOWN? I THINK OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR IS HERE AND HE MAY HAVE SOME INFORMATION. SORRY. 
          THE NUMBERS GUY SHOULD HAVE LEFT. SO SO WE DID DO SOME ANALYSIS. THE WAY THIS IS GOING TO WORK. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BOND AND WHAT WE'RE GOING OUT WITH IS A BAN. AT FIRST IT'S A BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE. IT'S A ONE YEAR INSTRUMENT THAT RENEWS EVERY YEAR. ONCE YOU GET ALL THE FINANCING IN PLACE, THEN IT CONVERTS TO A BOND. SO BASED ON THE INITIAL INFORMATION WE HAVE IN 2026, WE ONLY NEED TO BORROW AND PAY $140,000. THAT WOULD COME DOWN TO ABOUT $6 PER $100,000 HOUSEHOLD FOR THE YEAR. THEN IN 2027, WE BORROW ANOTHER. 
          WE HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER PAYMENT OF 308,000. THAT WOULD EQUATE TO ANOTHER $13 PER YEAR FOR A HOUSEHOLD, AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING IN 2028, THAT'S WHEN WE CONVERT TO THE BOND. SO THAT FIRST PAYMENT IS AN INTEREST PAYMENT ON THE BOND, AND A PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENT ON THE TWO BANDS THAT WILL CONVERT TO A BOND. THAT WOULD BE $22 PER $100,000 HOUSEHOLD. 
          THESE ARE ALL BASED ON THE FACT AND WITHOUT CONSIDERING ANY OF THE COSTS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE AS WE PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT IN THE BOND. AND BY THAT I MEAN WE HAVE SOME DEBT THAT'S GOING TO MATURE AS WE GO THROUGH THESE YEARS. IN YEAR ONE, THERE'S $40,000 IN BONDS THAT WILL MATURE. SO THE FIRST YEAR TRUE COST TO THE TAXPAYER WOULD BE $2.60. IN YEAR TWO, WE HAVE 7000 MORE MATURING. THAT DROPS IT DOWN FROM 13 TO $9.50 YEAR IN 2028. THERE ARE NO BONDS MATURING, SO IT STAYS AT THE 22. THE YEAR THAT WE DO THE FIRST ACTUAL BOND PAYMENT, THERE'S GOING TO BE A REDUCTION TO THE TAXPAYER OF 13,000. BECAUSE AGAIN, WHEN YOU DO THE BAND THE FIRST YEAR, YOU PAY INTEREST, IT ROLLS OVER AGAIN. SECOND YEAR YOU ONLY PAY INTEREST WHEN IT CONVERTS TO THE BOND. THEN YOU START PAYING PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. SO THAT'S WHERE THAT BIG JUMP COMES IN IN 2028. BUT THEN IN 2029, BECAUSE OF THE BAND IMPACT, THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST GOES DOWN. SO THEN THAT'S WHERE YOU GET INTO CONSISTENT PAYMENTS OVER THE NEXT 28 YEARS. SO ROUGH NUMBERS. IT WAS 30 FROM BETWEEN 2026 AND 2029. IT WOULD BE AN OVERALL INCREASE IN TAXPAYERS RATES OF $32 A HOUSEHOLD FROM BEGINNING TO END. IF YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THESE COST SAVINGS, IT DROPS DOWN TO 22, MEANING RIGHT NOW WE'RE PAYING $12.58 PER $100,000 HOUSEHOLD. BY THE TIME THE BAND BOND GOES INTO 29, IT'LL BE $12.48 PER HOUSEHOLD. SO THAT DELTA IS. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOW IN 2029? THAT GIVES EVERYBODY AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. I GUESS THE OTHER QUESTION IS, IS THERE ANY TYPE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MONEY THAT WILL BE PUT TOWARDS THIS PROJECT, OR IS THIS FULLY BEING FUNDED BY THE TAXPAYERS? WE'VE GONE AFTER QUITE A FEW GRANTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO TRY TO OFFSET SOME OF THE COSTS. WE'VE TAKEN SOME OTHER AVENUES TO TO TRY TO CUT SOME OF THE COSTS AND. SUCH THINGS. THERE WILL BE THERE WILL BE GRANTS THAT NOW THAT THE PROJECT IS UNDERWAY, THAT THE TOWN CAN PURSUE, THERE WILL ALSO BE LEGISLATIVE FUNDING. 
          THERE ARE REC FOUNDATION IS LOOKING AT A COMMUNITY WIDE FUNDRAISING EVENT. THERE ARE NAMING RIGHTS. THIS IS REALLY JUST A STARTING POINT. SO WHAT PAT SHEA OUTLINED FOR US IS REALLY THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. IT COULD ONLY GET BETTER IF WE GET FUNDING. IT ALSO COULD ONLY GET BETTER AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER COST SAVINGS THAT WILL OCCUR. LIKE WITH, WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT IT IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NO DEFINITIVE NUMBER, BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE UTILITY SAVINGS. WE KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SAVINGS IN TERMS OF OTHER PAYMENTS. WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE LIKE FOR THE PICKLEBALL, YOU KNOW, WITH HAVING A BUILDING, WE WON'T HAVE TO LEASE ANYWHERE. AGAIN, FOR THE PICKLEBALL SERVICES, YOU'LL HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE SCHEDULE, ETC. BUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS WE REALLY CAN'T PUT A NUMBER ON NOW WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE THE THE IMPACT ON THE TAXPAYER. BUT SO IN ESSENCE, WHAT PAT OUTLINED FOR YOU WAS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. THAT'S BEFORE ANY OPPORTUNITIES OR POSSIBILITIES OF THOSE NUMBERS BEING BROUGHT DOWN BECAUSE OF OTHER OFFSETS. AND AGAIN, UTILITY SAVINGS GRANTS, ETC. NAMING RIGHTS. THE ONE THING 
          [00:35:01]
THAT JUST TWO THINGS BRIEFLY THAT I'LL SAY BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS GOING TO GO THROUGH, BUT I, I HAD RESIDENTS THAT CONTACTED ME AND I MY JOB IS TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. THE FIRST COMMENT IS, I HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, AND I FELT THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD GO UP FOR A REFERENDUM. THERE IS A MECHANISM THAT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO END UP GOING THAT WAY ANYWAY, BECAUSE IF THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SIGNATURES WITHIN 30 DAYS ARE COLLECTED, THIS COULD GO UP FOR A REFERENDUM, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE UP TO WHOMEVER THAT WANTS TO DO THAT. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IT'S EASY, AS THE ONE GENTLEMAN HAD SAID OVER THERE, TO SPEND OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY IN THIS JOB AS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, MEANING THIS IS TAXPAYER MONEY. SO MY VIEW IS, IS THAT IT SHOULD GO UP FOR REFERENDUM. I'M NOT SAYING I'M FOR OR AGAINST IT, MEANING THERE'S SOME. DEFINITELY. I LOOKED AT THE ARCHITECT AND I TALKED TO THE ARCHITECTS, AND I LIKED THE DESIGN THAT THEY THAT THEY CAME UP WITH, OF COURSE, BUT IT THERE REALLY ISN'T A LOT OF SUBSTANCE RELATIVE TO WHAT THIS IS. MEANING THERE'S SOME OFFICE SPACE, THERE'S A GYMNASIUM, SOME PICKLEBALL COURTS, AND IT'S A GATHERING SPACE. AND IT'S REALLY THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT, WHAT IT IS. SO I HAVE AND I'VE BEEN CRITICIZED ON THIS BOARD FOR THIS, BUT I DO THINK THERE'S A NEED FOR MORE RECREATION, MAYBE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, EXPANDED HOCKEY RINKS, FIELD HOUSE, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT I LONG TERM ENVISION. AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE TO GO UP FOR A REFERENDUM IN MY VIEW. JUST JUST MY OPINION. IT'S JUST MY OPINION ON ONE MEMBER OF THIS BOARD. I THINK IF THE CITIZENS WANT IT, THEY SHOULD DECIDE THAT'S HOW DEMOCRACY SHOULD WORK. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. THE OTHER THING CRITIQUE I HAD FROM RESIDENTS, AND EVEN TODAY SOME PEOPLE CALL ME ON THIS ISSUE, WAS THE LOCATION BEING AT THE NIKE BASE. WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, HAMBURG DOES GO TO BLAISDELL AND WOODLAWN, AND IT'S A FURTHER DRIVE. IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT 25 MINUTES. I MEAN, AT LEAST 20 FROM FROM WOODLAWN OR BLAISDELL TO THE NIKE BASE. SO IT'S NOT AS CENTRALLY LOCATED. ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT WAS FLOATED WAS PERHAPS THE MCKINLEY MALL. AND I WAS TALKING TO MY. ASSISTANT TODAY, DIANE REYNOLDS. SHE WALKS AT THE MCKINLEY MALL REGULARLY, AND THAT WAS SOME OF THE CRITIQUES THAT I, THAT I HAD. SO THOSE THOSE ARE MY OPINIONS. THE VOTE WILL BE WHAT IT WILL BE. AND THOSE ARE THE COMMENTS I HAD FROM FELLOW CITIZENS THAT ASKED ME, THAT CONTACTED ME AND ASKED ME TO SPEAK ON THOSE. AND, AND THERE WILL BE A VOTE AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT I THINK THIS TOWN AND THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION HIRED A COMMITTEE OR NOT HIRED A COMMITTEE, BUT CREATED A COMMITTEE. I THINK WE EXHAUSTED JUST ABOUT EVERY PROPERTY IN THERE. WHEN I FIRST GOT ELECTED, THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I SAID IS BY THE MCKINLEY MALL FOR $8 MILLION. AND THAT ONE PERSON SAID, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, LET'S SECOND IT OR ANYTHING ELSE. SO WE NEVER PUT IT FORWARD. THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER PROPERTIES. AND THIS ONE THE TOWN OWNS. SO THAT RIGHT THERE IS PROBABLY $1 MILLION SAVINGS, IF NOT MORE ALONE. IT'S SHOVEL READY. THE LONG RANGE GOAL IS TO MAKE THAT A SPORTS COMPLEX. SO ONCE THAT BUILDING IS COMPLETED, HOPEFULLY PAID OFF, YOU CAN ATTACH ANOTHER BUILDING TO THERE. SO NOW YOU PUT YOUR FIELD HOUSE ON TOP OF THAT. NOW FIELD HOUSE IS IF YOU GO LIKE SALEM FIELD, IF ANYONE'S GOT YOUNG KIDS OR GRANDKIDS LIKE MYSELF, THEY GO THERE. I MEAN, THEY'RE PAYING LIKE $300, WHAT, AN HOUR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR BASEBALL, SOCCER, FLAG FOOTBALL, WHATEVER IT MAY BE. 
          LACROSSE. I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE ACTUALLY GENERATING FUNDS. SO THAT'S THE LONG RANGE GOAL IS TO CREATE THIS AND MAKE THIS INTO A SPORTS COMPLEX. YOU ALREADY HAVE THE HOCKEY DOWN THE ROAD. A SECOND SHEET OF ICE WOULD BE GREAT OVER THERE. IT WOULD BRING IN MORE FUNDING BECAUSE MR. BIEGALSKI WOULD KNOW HE'S THE HOCKEY COACH OVER HERE AND WOULD KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A SHEET OF ICE FOR AN HOUR. SO I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE A SAD DAY FOR THE TOWN IF WE DO NOT HAVE A COMMUNITY SLASH SENIOR CENTER FOR, YOU KNOW, OUR RESIDENTS HERE, YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT WE HAD, THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE AND THERE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED PEOPLE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A FACILITY. AND I THINK THAT IT'S A TIMING ISSUE. 
          AND I THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO JUST START CREATING MORE PROBLEMS TO PUT THIS ON HOLD. SO THE TOWN, EVEN THE SMALL TOWN OF WELLS HAS A COMMUNITY CENTER. WELL, EVERY TOWN DOES. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT THE TOWN OF HAMBURG ISN'T FOCUSED IN THAT DIRECTION. I THINK THE MAJORITY OF US ARE. I BELIEVE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THINGS MR. JOSH COLLINS, IF ANYBODY'S OPPOSED TO IT. I THINK HE'S GOT A PETITION TO GO 
          [00:40:02]
FOR A REFERENDUM. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO A SENIOR CENTER. I JUST WANTED TO GO TO PUBLIC HEALTH. I THINK WE NEED ONE. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO, FOR SURE. HE'S ASKED ME TO COME UP AND PUT ON BECAUSE THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU. OKAY, WE HAVE THE. ALL RIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT, I'M JOSH COLLINS. I WANT TO SEND THE SENIOR CENTER TO A PUBLIC REFERENDUM. I'M NOT AGAINST IT. I JUST WANT THE VOTERS TO DECIDE, BECAUSE THIS IS A GENERATIONAL PROJECT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING. AND AS FRANK SAID, THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE COST OVERRUNS, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DIG. THIS IS AN OLD MILITARY SITE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND. OKAY? THEY'RE BONDING THE EXACT AMOUNT. THE PROJECT IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          6 MILLION. IF YOU RUN THE INTEREST ON AN A RATED BOND AT 5.5%, IT'S NOT 9 MILLION. IT'S 12 MILLION. YOU CAN RUN IT THROUGH ANY AI SYSTEM. SO THEY'RE UNDERFUNDING IT FROM THE GET GO. OKAY. SO JUST DO THE SIMPLE MATH. OVER 30 YEARS COMES OUT TO ABOUT $12 MILLION. 
          THAT'S WHEN NO COST OVERRUNS. I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE, THEY WALK THE MCKINLEY MALL. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT REVITALIZING AREAS OF HAMBURG, YET WE DON'T. SO WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO? WE WANT TO RIP UP GREEN SPACE. AND YES, I GET WHAT DAN SAYS. THERE'S ALREADY A HOCKEY RINK THERE. AND YES, IT'S A GOOD SPACE FOR IT AND YOU CAN MAKE IT A WHOLE AREA, BUT IT'S OUT OF THE WAY. THE MCKINLEY MALL OR LIKE AREAS ARE THERE. AND YES, WE SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM ALL FOR $8 MILLION. LIKE YOU SAID, THAT THAT WAS A GREAT BUILDING. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT IDEA, YOU KNOW, BUT JUST SENDING IT TO PUBLIC REFERENDUM IS NOT SAYING WE DON'T WANT IT. IT'S JUST LETTING ALL THE VOTERS AND ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS, ALL THE RESIDENTS OF HAMBURG SAY, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO DECIDE ON THIS TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, THE BOARD WAS ELECTED. THEY KNEW THEY KNEW THE FRONTIER SENIOR CENTER WAS GOING AWAY FOR YEARS, AND THEY WERE NOT PROACTIVE AT FINDING A SPOT BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO BUILD A CENTER FOR A LEGACY. SO THEY HAD SOMETHING TO SAY, HEY, WE BUILT THIS. OKAY. YEAH, I DISAGREE WITH THAT. THERE'S A I MEAN, EVERYBODY HAS I MEAN, OKAY, IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO GET EVICTED FROM YOUR HOUSE, YOU WOULD START LOOKING FOR A NEW HOUSE, RIGHT? YOU WEREN'T JUST SIT ON IT AND BE LIKE, OKAY, I'M GOING TO BUILD A HOUSE. I'M GOING TO BUILD A HOUSE. RIGHT? AND DON'T FORGET, THERE'S MORE COST TO THIS. SO THEY HAVE TO PAY. THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BOND RATING. WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS TO A VOTE NOW OKAY. THANK YOU KATHY I THINK ALL RIGHT. DID I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION DAN. YEAH, BUT YOUR FALSE AND YOUR STATEMENTS. BUT I, I THINK TO FRANK'S POINT, YOU BROUGHT UP A CONCERN ABOUT THE MCKINLEY MALL. 
          OKAY, FRANK, TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE WERE IN THIS PROCESS AND YOU WERE NEWLY ELECTED AND HAD JUST GOTTEN ON THE TOWN BOARD, WE INVESTIGATED THE MCKINLEY MALL. DID YOU, BY CHANCE, MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE, ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS OR LEARN MORE ABOUT THE MCKINLEY MALL PROJECT? YES, YES I DID. AND AS I TOLD YOU, DIANE REYNOLDS, MY ASSISTANT, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AS REGULARLY THERE AND HAD INVESTIGATED THAT. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS EVERYONE ATTENDED THOSE MEETINGS. THE CONTRACTOR, THE I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS, JUST LIKE YOU HAVE. AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE RUNNING FOR OFFICE, AND PERHAPS THIS IS A POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY TO CRITICIZE ME, BUT NONETHELESS, THERE WILL BE A VOTE. LET'S JUST VOTE. I'M READY TO VOTE. LET'S VOTE WE? JUST CHILDREN THAT SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE TEACHING. EXCUSE. 
          THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE. BRING THIS TO A VOTE. READY? ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A ROLL CALL. 
          VOTE SUPERVISOR RYBCZYNSKI. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. COMERFORD. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. KOZUB. YES.

MONEY IS AVAILABLE FOR FUEL EXPENSE IN THE ACCOUNT AS LISTED, SO MOVED. SECOND, I HAVE A QUESTION. THIS DOES NOT LIST THE COST HERE OR WHAT THIS IS GOING TO COST. HOW DO WE KNOW WE SHOULD GIVE SENIORS? THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE THEY LEAVE? IT DOES SAY THOUGH, THE ACCOMMODATIONS AND MEALS ARE PROVIDED SO HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. NO. OKAY. THANK YOU CHIEF. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND. YES. YOU HAVE IT. YEAH. PAST THAT I, I SECOND. YEAH, I GOT THE MOTION SECOND. DO WE HAVE A ALL IN FAVOR. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. OKAY. 
          WE JUST WANT TO GIVE THE THE IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE NOW THE SENIORS, CAN WE LEAVE? BUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE. RIGHT. IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO WANTED TO. I KNOW THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO SPEAK BEFORE AND. AND, KATHY, I'LL DEFER TO THE SUPERVISOR. DID YOU WANT TO GIVE THAT OPPORTUNITY NOW OR HAVE EVERYONE WAIT TO THE END FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY. 
          IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK BEFORE EVERYBODY LEAVES, I JUST WANT TO LET INFORM PEOPLE THAT THE TOWN DID DO A TOWN WIDE GARBAGE FACILITY. IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE $240. SO I MY PERSONAL THING IS I WOULDN'T MAKE ANY LONG RANGE DEALS WITH ANY OF YOUR PROVIDERS THAT ARE IN THE TOWN, BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING AT EARLY 2026, PREFERABLY AROUND APRIL 1ST. 
          ALL RIGHT. SO NOW IF ANYBODY LIKE TO COMMENT ON THE SENIOR CENTER, YOU CAN DO. SO NOW YOU KIND OF LIMIT IT TO THREE MINUTES. IT'D BE GREAT DIANA. I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT YOU GUYS 
          [01:05:08]
ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE DESERVE THEIR SENIOR CENTER. THEY WORK THEIR WHOLE LIVES. THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT AND NOT HAVE TIME WASTED ON BUREAUCRACY FOR THAT. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT TO. ANDY MATEO, HAMBURG RESIDENT, WITH REGARD TO A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE THAT A BOARD MEMBER IS RUNNING FOR OFFICE, I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE GENTLEMAN THAT BROUGHT UP THIS REFERENDUM HAS COME TO BOARD MEETINGS SINCE HE LOST THE PRIMARY AND IS STILL RUNNING FOR ELECTION AND USING THIS AS HIS SOAPBOX. HE I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM AT A BOARD MEETING BEFORE. MR. BORKOWSKI COULD HAVE TAKEN PART IN THE PROCESS WHEN THERE WAS A WHOLE COMMITTEE LOOKING FOR PLACES ALL AROUND THE TOWN. THERE WERE BOARD MEETINGS WHERE IT WAS SAID THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO LEASE AGAIN. WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION AGAIN. I HEAR THEM SAYING THEY WANT A REFERENDUM, WHICH WILL STALL THIS PROCESS TREMENDOUSLY, BUT THEY'RE NOT TELLING ANYBODY HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING TO COST, WHAT IT HAS ALREADY COST US, BECAUSE WE WERE NOT PREPARED WHEN THAT LEASE RAN OUT. WE HAD TO PAY FOR FRONTIER TO RUN SPACE. WE HAD TO PAY FOR A MOVE. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR OUR INTERIM SPACE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO ALL THAT AGAIN. NOW THEY CAN COME HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE MCKINLEY MALL THEY WANT, AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY. IT WAS ALREADY DETERMINED THAT THAT WASN'T A SUITABLE LOCATION. BUT ARE THEY TELLING THE PEOPLE, OH, WE WANT TO DELAY THIS. IT'S GOING TO COST THIS MUCH TO MOVE. 
          OUR LEASES ARE UP AT OUR INTERIM PLACES. WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT PEOPLE? IT'S NOT ONLY PICKLEBALL PLAYERS. IT'S NOT ONLY THE SENIORS THAT ARE COMING FOR EXERCISE CLASSES. 
          THERE'S THE LUNCHES. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO ON THERE. AND THERE ARE ALSO YOUTH PROGRAMS THAT GO ON THERE. BESIDES THE FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER PLACE TO PUT THE OFFICES FOR THE YOUTH, RECREATION AND SENIOR SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THAT'S ALL PART OF THIS PROJECT. AND FOR SOMEBODY TO COME IN JUST TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND SAY, THIS IS GOING TO GET HIS NAME OUT THERE TO STALL THIS PROJECT WITHOUT FULLY INFORMING EVERYBODY WHAT THAT'S GOING TO COST. AND THE OLDER PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY DEFINITELY DESERVE THIS COMMUNITY CENTER. STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE, ANDREW NAGORSKI. 
          THESE THESE SENIOR CENTERS ARE SENIOR CITIZENS, DESERVE A COMMUNITY CENTER. THEY DO. BUT WE SHOULD ALL KNOW THE COSTS. THESE FUTURE GENERATIONS COMING UP ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD HOUSING IN THIS COMMUNITY. EVER. IF YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE DELUSIONAL AND YOU SHOULD START THINKING ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION BECAUSE ALL YOU GOT IS THIS RIGHT NOW AND THAT MONEY, YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPEND IT ANYWAYS. YOU GUYS MESS UP EVERY TIME. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT. YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD OLD DAYS. DID I NOT SAY THAT YOU DESERVE THE CENTER? YEAH. 
          ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK? HI, MY NAME IS PATRICIA ROSENHAN. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A COUPLE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT. THE SENIOR CENTER AT BURGER FEST IS WHEN IT FIRST CAME TO MY ATTENTION. I HAVE BEEN A HAMBURG RESIDENT MY WHOLE LIFE, AND I WORKED FOR THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT. PLEASE TALK TO THE BOARD THREE DECADES AND I'M VERY PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF HAMBURG. AND I THINK WE HAVE A WONDERFUL CITY THAT LOOKS OUT FOR SENIORS AND YOUTH. I AM CONCERNED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE. AS THIS WOMAN, SO WONDERFULLY SAID, USING THIS AS A SOAPBOX. GET AHEAD IN A POLITICAL ELECTION. I TALKED WITH PEOPLE AT THE REC CENTER. I TALKED WITH PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF POLITICS. I AM NOT ON. I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY POLITICAL PARTY. I JUST WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR YOUTH AND OUR SENIORS. AND I'VE LISTENED TO EVERYTHING THAT THIS BOARD HAS SAID ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN DONE, WHAT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. I LISTENED TO WHAT THIS WOMAN SAID, I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS YOUR POSITION? HOW MANY TOWN ENGINEER, TOWN ENGINEER HAD LOTS OF FACTS TO SHARE ABOUT WHY THIS IS THE 
          [01:10:05]
MOST FEASIBLE SOLUTION. I'VE LISTENED TO THE TOWN FINANCIAL OFFICER WHO SAID THAT THIS WOULD COST. IT WOULD COST $6 PER HOUSEHOLD IN 2026, AND GOING UP FROM THERE A MAXIMUM OF $32 A YEAR. I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BREAK FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HAMBURG HOUSEHOLD CONSTRUCTION, BECAUSE YOU HAD THE FLOOR AND IT'S MY TURN BACK AND FORTH CONVERSATION ADDRESS. THAT'S I'M STANDING UP HERE BECAUSE I AM NOT A SENIOR YET, BUT I WILL BE. AND WHEN I AM, I DO WANT TO ATTEND THE SENIOR CENTER, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR NAME OUT THERE TO PICK ON SENIORS AND YOUTH. AND, MR. BOGUSKI, I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE TO THE TOWN COUNCIL, AND YOU KEEP MENTIONING THESE CONSTITUENTS THAT HAVE ASKED YOU TO SAY THIS AND THAT, BUT YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE RIGHT HERE. THESE ARE YOUR CONSTITUENTS. AND THEY WANT YOU TO REPRESENT THEM. THERE ALREADY WAS A VOTE. IT'S 4 TO 1. THIS IS GOING I UNDERSTAND THAT I WANTS TO COME UP AND YELL AT ME AND TELL ME I'M A BAD PERSON. I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE A BAD PERSON. I'M SAYING THESE ARE YOUR CONSTITUENTS, BUT THEIR CONSTITUENTS. PLEASE DON'T INTERRUPT ME, MISTER. SO LET HER TALK. IT'S HER TURN. SO THANK YOU. I WOULD BE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN ANYONE WHO TRIED TO GET SIGNATURES TO DELAY THE START OF THE CONSTRUCTION ON THIS SENIOR CENTER, AND YOU'RE DELAYING SERVICES FOR SENIORS AND YOUTH IN MY TOWN. IN OUR TOWN, WHICH IS ALSO MY TOWN, WHICH I AM PROUD THAT IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER, SENIORS TOGETHER AND YOUTH TOGETHER. BECAUSE THE MORE YOU DELAY, THE LESS SENIORS AND YOUTH HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO GET TOGETHER IN POSITIVE ATMOSPHERES WITH ACTIVITIES PROVIDED, AND THAT ISOLATES PEOPLE AND CAUSES AND LEADS TO PROBLEMS. SO THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN QUICKLY, NOT DELAYED. AND I WILL SAY THAT ANYONE WHO COMES FORWARD WITH SUCH A PETITION AND POTENTIALLY DELAYS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS SITE, I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO LET THE TOWN PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN KNOW THAT THAT WAS A SELFISH, SELFISH DECISION AND I WILL ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS DECISION TO CREATE THIS SENIOR CENTER. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS KILLIAN ZAJAC. I'D ACTUALLY LIKE TO KIND OF KNOW SOME EXCITING NEWS ABOUT THIS. I TALKED TO A LOT OF KIDS IN FRONTIER DISTRICT AND EVEN OTHER DISTRICTS, AND WE ALL HAVE OUR DIFFERENT ISSUES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE TOWN. BUT ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES IS THERE'S STUFF THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT MUCH STUFF TO DO AROUND HERE. AS A TEENAGER. 
          THERE'S A BUNCH OF PEOPLE COMING UP HERE SAYING, THIS AFFECTS OUR YOUTH, AND HERE, LET ME JUST TAKE THIS OFF. THIS AFFECTS OUR YOUTH AND OUR SENIORS, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE BIG TO TO PUSH. AND EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T REALLY NECESSARILY MATTER, THE LOCATION OF THIS SENIOR CENTER, IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT. OBVIOUSLY RIGHT NOW NIKE BASE, IT'S GOING TO BE AROUND 20 MINUTES FOR PEOPLE IN BLAISDELL AND WOODLAWN TO GO. BUT THEN IF YOU PUT IT NEAR WOODLAWN, IT COULD BE 20 MINUTES FOR THE OTHER WAY AROUND. HOWEVER, IT JUST GIVES THESE TEENAGERS AND THESE KIDS SOMETHING TO DO. AND I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE'S, AGAIN, NOT A LOT OF THINGS TO DO IN THIS TOWN FOR TEENAGERS, AND IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A BUNCH OF MORE ISSUES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD FOR DOING THIS. IT IS INCREDIBLE AS A TEENAGER TO SEE ALL THESE SMILES. I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL MY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL. THANK YOU. MR. MR. ZAJAC I MR. ZAJAC I, I SAW THE PLAY THAT YOU ACTED IN IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND I BROUGHT MY NINE AND 11 YEAR OLD CHILDREN AND THEY REALLY ENJOYED IT. AND YOU DID A GREAT JOB. YOU HAD THIS YOUNG MAN HAD ONE OF THE LEADING ROLES IN THAT PLAY. AND IT WAS A REALLY, REALLY WELL DONE. AND I'M NOT HONESTLY, I'M NOT THE BIGGEST PLAY GUY, BUT I LIKED IT. SO YOU DID A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON THEN. 4.14. I GUESS THAT ALL RIGHT. JOSH COLLINS AGAIN YOU'RE TALKING TO THE 
          [01:15:07]
BOARD. JOSH OKAY I WANT TO REITERATE ONE THING, GARY. YOU KNOW I JUST I'M NOT AGAINST THE SENIOR CENTER. I JUST WANT A PUBLIC REFERENDUM. IT'S CALLED DEMOCRACY. LET THE VOTERS DECIDE. I UNDERSTAND EVERYONE IN HERE WANTS A BILL. I GET IT, I UNDERSTAND, BUT SINCE WHEN IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE WE SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEND SOMETHING TO A PUBLIC VOTE THAT AFFECTS THE WHOLE COMMUNITY? I JUST THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. IT'S NOT GRANDSTANDING. I JUST BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE TO REPRESENT US, SO WE HAVE IT. BUT YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT. SO THESE PEOPLE WERE ELECTED AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE VOTING IN YOUR BEST INTEREST. BUT THERE'S A MECHANISM IN PLACE FOR CITIZENS TO SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO SEND THIS TO A PUBLIC REFERENDUM. AND JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, IT TAKES 1346 VOTES TO SEND THIS TO A PUBLIC REFERENDUM. ALRIGHT. CAN YOU LET THE MAN SPEAK, PLEASE? SO WE NEED 1346 VOTES TO SEND THIS TO A PUBLIC REFERENDUM. OKAY, SO THAT'S HOW MANY SIGNATURES ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET SOME MORE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE CHALLENGED. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. MAYBE WE'LL GET THE SIGNATURES, MAYBE WE WON'T. MAYBE THE SENIOR CENTER WILL BE BUILT, MAYBE IT WON'T. I'M JUST SAYING, LET THE LET THE CITIZENS OF HAMBURG EVERYBODY DECIDE JUST NOT TO SELECT. THIS IS A BIG, EXPENSIVE BOND. WE DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE AMHERST, WHERE IN A FEW YEARS WE HAVE $200 MILLION IN BOND DEBT. AND THEN TAXES GO THROUGH THE ROOF. YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WITH CREDIT CARD DEBT. YOU START OFF WITH A COUPLE THOUSAND, THEN YOU CHARGE A FEW MORE THOUSAND. NOW YOU'RE IN MASSIVE DEBT. I JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE TOWN OF HAMBURG. ORCHARD PARK ONLY CARRIES $11 MILLION IN DEBT. THEY'RE DOING VERY GOOD IN ORCHARD PARK, AND THEY HAVE GREAT FACILITIES BECAUSE THEY DID IT A WHILE AGO. THEY WANT TO DO IT WHEN IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE. I'M NOT AGAINST THE SENIOR CENTER. I JUST WANT THE PUBLIC TO VOTE. YOU VIEW IT AS A DELAY, BUT THIS IS CALLED DEMOCRACY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. I YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT. YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF YOU SAID THAT YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF THE SENIOR CENTER, BUT YOU WANT TO PUT IT UP FOR A REFERENDUM. YES. SO IF THE REFERENDUM WENT THROUGH AND JUST SAY IT FAILED. SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO THEN? SAY YOU TOOK OFFICE. YOU'RE YOU'RE NOW THE SUPERVISOR. YOU CANNOT BRING A RECREATION CENTER BECAUSE YOU JUST HAD IT VOTED DOWN. YOU'RE CORRECT. YOU CAN'T BUILD ONE. SO YOU'RE SO YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF IT, BUT YOU WANT TO TRY TO KILL IT IS WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME RIGHT NOW. BOTH OF YOU THAT SPOKE AGAINST IT SAID YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF IT. THEY EARN IT. THEY DESERVE IT. BUT WE WANT TO KILL IT, OKAY? JUST WANT TO TRY TO FIGURE THAT OUT. WE WANT A MORE COST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF DOING THE SENIOR CENTER AND BUILDING ONE VERSUS RENTING ONE, IS NOT IT? WE'RE. WE'VE BEEN THE BOARD HAS ACTED OVER TWO YEARS. SO YOU'RE BACK IN FAVOR OF LIKE THE BEFORE TEN YEARS. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GET KICKED OUT AND WE GOT TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING ALL OVER AGAIN. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? NO, IT'S CALLED STAYING ON TOP OF THE LEASE, DAN. SO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. OKAY. 
          THERE'S ONE OTHER THING THAT PEOPLE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED AND THAT RELATIVE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS, I, I WAS TALKING TO MY FRIENDS IN THE BUILDING TRADES UNIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FOOTBALL STADIUM PROJECT RIGHT NOW, WORKERS ARE GETTING PAID, IN SOME INSTANCES, HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS EXTRA PER DAY TO COME FROM OUT OF THE AREA TO WORK. SO I BELIEVE THAT THESE NUMBERS MAY HAVE BEEN INFLATED RELATIVE TO THE BID. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE AND THE GENTLEMAN THERE IS IN CONSTRUCTION. SO I KNOW, YOU KNOW, ELECTRICIANS, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACT HERE. THEY'RE GETTING PAID A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS EXTRA A DAY TO GO WORK ON THE BUILD STADIUM. SO SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS FAR AS TIMING. BUT I THINK WHAT MR. COLLINS IS SAYING AND IT'S PEOPLE CAN THIS IS DEMOCRACY. IT'S IT THERE'S A VOTE. IT'S 4 TO 1 VOTE. THAT'S ALL. THAT'S IT. RIGHT. AND IF THE IF. THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. OH NO. IT'S GOING SO WELL SINCE WE'RE UP FOR SPEAKING AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO REITERATE THAT MR. BORKOWSKI HAS BEEN ON THE BOARD. WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE AD NAUSEAM, AND WE NEVER HEARD THE WORD REFERENDUM FROM MR. BORKOWSKI UNTIL MR. COLLINS BROUGHT IT UP, BECAUSE HE LOST THE PRIMARY, AND HE WANTS TO GET HIS NAME OUT THERE. OKAY. I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD. I'M HEARING HIM SAY THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES. MORE COST EFFECTIVE. WELL, HAS THAT BEEN PRESENTED? DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THAT IS? DO THEY KNOW WHERE THE WHERE THE INTERIM PLACES ARE GOING TO BE? YOU DON'T JUST SAY NO TO ONE IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE AND THEY HAVE NOT PRESENTED AN ALTERNATIVE CURRENTLY, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO COST THE 
          [01:20:03]
TAXPAYERS. CURRENTLY WE LEASE ONE AND IT'S. AND WHEN'S THE LEASE UP? MR. WELL, WE, WE WE HAD A MEETING WITH OUR TOWN ATTORNEY. I KNOW IT WAS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. I KNOW IF I'M AUTHORIZED TO SAY THE DATE, BUT WE'RE INVOLVED IN, IN WE'RE NOT OKAY. SO I'M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON THAT. BUT THE BOARD HAS BECAUSE NO, THE TOWN ATTORNEY IS SHAKING HIS HEAD HERE. YEAH. NO, IT'S MY ANSWER IS NO EXECUTIVE SESSION IS PRECLUDED BY SURE. SO I CAN'T I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IS WHAT I'M SAYING. SO BUT HERE'S THE DEAL. WE'RE INVOLVED AND THAT AND THERE IS FOR YOU TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE. THAT'S SIMPLY INACCURATE. LET ME FINISH, I LET YOU THERE. YEAH. IT'S THERE. I LET YOU SPEAK. OKAY, OKAY. 
          AND SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE A LEASE RIGHT NOW AT ECC, BUT THIS WAS ALREADY VOTED ON. WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT ALL DAY. IT'S FINE. BUT THEY VOTED. IT'S VOTED 4 TO 1. IT'S GOING FORWARD. SO YOU ONE IT'S NOT. THERE'S A TERMINAL TERM END TO THAT LEASE. AND THE SAME THING WHERE WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE USING THE GYM AS WELL. AND THIS WOULD THROW A WRENCH INTO ALL OF THAT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A WORSE POSITION THAN WE WERE WHEN THE LEASE WAS UP AT FRONTIERS BUILDING ON ROUTE 20. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD THAT WE THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE HAD TOWN STAFF, INCLUDING OUR TOWN ENGINEER, OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY AND HARD. WE RELY ON THEIR EXPERTISE FOR MANY DECISIONS THAT WE ARRIVE AT HERE IN THE TOWN, AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM, ESPECIALLY DURING THESE LAST FEW MONTHS. IN PARTICULAR, OUR TOWN ENGINEER HAS EXHAUSTIVELY ANSWERED MANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE RAISED. THESE THINGS WERE THOUGHT ABOUT, AND SHE HAS ADDRESSED THEM EVEN THROUGHOUT THE BIDDING PROCESS, THROUGHOUT AWARDING IT MANY OF THE QUESTIONS. AND I DO JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE WERE RAISED, SHE DID ADDRESS SHE MET WITH THE COMMITTEE. SHE DID A VERY THOROUGH CHECK ON MANY OF THE THINGS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP. 
          SO I WANT TO REASSURE, REASSURE ALL OF YOU ON ON THAT. AND THEN JUST AS FAR AS THE PROCESS OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS, IF THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT REFERENDUM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BEFORE THE TOWN ENGAGED IN THE DESIGN FEES, ETC. THAT HAVE BEEN ALREADY EXPENDED SO THAT WE COULD DEVELOP THIS PROJECT. AND DURING THE PROCESS IT WAS EXHAUSTIVELY. WE USED A REAL ESTATE AGENT. WE LOOKED AT MANY, MANY DIFFERENT OPTIONS. IT QUICKLY BECAME APPARENT THAT A LEASE WAS NOT GOING TO AFFORD US THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY BE IN CONTROL OF THE FINANCES, TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE PHYSICAL MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITY, AND THAT IF WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT CONTROL, WHICH WOULD ALLOW US TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE TAXPAYERS AND TO BE ABLE TO PLAN AND WE LEARN, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH THIS WITH OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE ABLE TO PREDICT THESE COSTS AND BE ABLE TO PLAN FOR IT. THAT WAS A LOT OF WHAT HELPED US TO ARRIVE AT THE DECISION TO MOVE IN THE DIRECTION OF BUILDING A FACILITY, AND THEN AGAIN, WE HAD ASSISTANCE FROM PROFESSIONALS AND TO INVESTIGATE ALL DIFFERENT SITES IN THE COMMUNITY. AND TOWN OWNED DEFINITELY OFFERED US SOME BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THAT ENTIRE PROCESS. THE BOARD WAS INVOLVED AND THERE WERE DISCUSSIONS, DISCUSSIONS AT EVERY POINT ALONG THE WAY. THE ENTIRE BOARD, ALL FIVE PEOPLE SITTING HERE WERE INVOLVED AND ALL BROUGHT THEIR DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AS WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. AND MANY TIMES IT'S THAT CONSENSUS WORK THAT ALLOWS US TO ARRIVE AT THE FINAL DECISION. AND WHILE THERE MIGHT BE CERTAIN SMALL NUANCES THAT ONE INDIVIDUAL VERSUS ANOTHER, OR THEY MAY HAVE BROUGHT AN IDEA FORWARD, THIS WAS CONSENSUS WORK. THIS IS COLLABORATION. IT'S PART OF WHAT WE ARE CHARGED WITH DOING AS YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND MAKING SOME DIFFICULT DECISIONS. AND SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE RESULT OF THAT COLLABORATION. SO IT IS A LITTLE DISHEARTENING WHEN IN THIS FINAL MOMENT, OBJECTIONS ARE RAISED BY INDIVIDUALS WHO DID PARTICIPATE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. I DO BELIEVE THIS REPRESENTS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT NOT ONLY ON THE BOARD'S PART, BUT ALSO WITH NUMEROUS COMMITTEES, NUMEROUS MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR CLUBS, OUR YOUTH AND SENIOR SERVICES STAFF. THERE WAS A LONG, PROTRACTED TIME OF SURVEYS AND COFFEE HOURS AND MANY, MANY OPPORTUNITIES. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED. AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, AND THERE WAS A COMMITTEE THAT WAS SEARCHING ALL THE PLACES IN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG. AND I CAN TELL YOU WHO WAS NOT ON THAT COMMITTEE AND WHO WAS NEVER AROUND WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT ANY OF THIS. AND AS I SAID, MR. COLLINS WAS NEVER AT A BOARD MEETING UNTIL HE DECIDED TO RUN FOR

WATERWORKS CORPORATION. I. HELLO. CAN WE HAVE, LIKE, A LITTLE CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS, PLEASE? YOU KNOW, LIKE, BRING IT UP FOR A. I MEAN, I KNOW YOU SPOKE ABOUT IT BEFORE I DID, I THINK TWO WEEKS AGO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR 3 OR 4, WHATEVER IT WAS. THE DAYS ARE BLENDING. SO YEAH. GOOD EVENING, SHAWN HOPKINS I'M HERE WITH DAVE BURKE FROM DADO DEVELOPMENT. AS THE BOARD WILL RECALL, WE PRESENTED THIS DURING YOUR WORK SESSION MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 8TH. YOU APPROPRIATELY ASKED FOR SOME ADDITIONAL TIME AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BASED ON DISCUSSIONS WITH KEN FARRELL, THE TOWN ATTORNEY. I BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN INPUT FROM CAMI GERALD, THE TOWN ENGINEER. WE'VE NOW PROVIDED EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THERE'S AN ABSOLUTE NEED FOR THIS WATERWORKS CORPORATION. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT IS MR. FARRELL, AS PART OF HIS REVIEW, HAS INCLUDED A DRAFT CONDITION IN THE RESOLUTION THAT WOULD PROTECT THE TOWN IN THIS VERY, VERY UNLIKELY SCENARIO. SO BECAUSE WE HAVE PRIVATE INFRASTRUCTURE HERE, PRIVATE ROADWAYS VERSUS PUBLIC ROADWAYS, NUMBER ONE, IT'S A BENEFIT TO THE TOWN, MEANING NORMALLY YOU WOULD HAVE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FROM DAY ONE. HERE. YOU DON'T. THAT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY WILL LIE WITH THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION. THAT HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN FORMED. HOWEVER, THE ERIE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TAKES THE POSITION THAT IN THE EXTREMELY UNLIKELY EVENT THAT SOMEWHERE WAY DOWN THE LINE, THERE IS STILL NO LONGER AN HOA, EVEN THOUGH THERE WILL BE A COMMUNITY. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THAT RARE INSTANCE? THE TOWN WOULD THEN HAVE TO TAKE OVER RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WATER LINE. THE WATER LINE HAS A USEFUL LIFE OF 40 YEARS. WE RECEIVED A PROPOSAL FROM ROUSSEAU DEVELOPMENT. THE APPROXIMATE COST TO REPLACE THAT IS $800,000 IN CURRENT DOLLARS. SO IN OUR BUDGET WE HAVE A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM AND WE SUBMITTED THIS IN WRITING. THAT IS FOR THE WATER LINE REPLACEMENT MEANING FROM DAY ONE. WE'RE ACTUALLY SETTING ASIDE MONEY FOR THAT. BUT EVEN IF THAT ALL NEVER. NONE OF THAT STUFF WORKED OUT. EVEN THOUGH IT WILL. MR. FARRELL HAS SUGGESTED A CONDITION. IT'S RIGHT IN THE DRAFT OF THE RESOLUTION THAT BASICALLY STATES IF ALL THAT OCCURS AND IT'S A CATASTROPHE, MEANING THERE'S NO HOA, THERE'S NO WATERWORKS CORPORATION AND THAT EVENT, THEN IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE 57 TOWNHOMES AT THAT TIME TO PAY OR REIMBURSE THE TOWN FOR ANY IMPROVEMENTS. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A NEW REQUIREMENT. WE DID NOT COME UP WITH IT, AND IT'S STILL BETTER THAN IF IT WAS A PUBLIC ROAD. SO WE HAVE PROVIDED THAT DOCUMENTATION. CAN YOU EARN YOUR KEEP? CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THE MONEY THAT'S BEING SET ASIDE AND HOW THAT WILL BE? I CAN AND WHAT THE OVERSIGHT WILL BE? YEAH. SO THERE'S AN HOA BUDGET. THE HOA HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED. THAT HOA BUDGET HAS BEEN APPROVED BY A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, SUBMITTED TO THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, REVIEWED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE FINANCE. APPROVED. RIGHT. IN THAT BUDGET, THERE'S A LINE ITEM FOR WATER LINE REPLACEMENT, AND THE COST IS APPROXIMATELY $18,000 A YEAR. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY ITEMIZING OR WE'RE ACTUALLY RESERVING THAT AMOUNT ANNUALLY IN THE OVERALL ASSESSMENTS. IT'LL BE PUT IN THAT FUND AND THEN THEREFORE AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE. SO CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THE MECHANISM IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT OVERSIGHT IS PRESENT FOR THE MECHANISM IS IF YOU DON'T PAY YOUR MONTHLY ASSESSMENT, THE TOTAL MONTHLY ASSESSMENT TO LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY IS ABOUT $221. THEN THE HOA CAN FORECLOSE ON YOU JUST LIKE PROPERTY TAXES. BUT WHAT IS YOU TALKED ABOUT PUTTING MONEY ASIDE RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. SO WHAT IS 18,000 A YEAR TOWARDS WATER LINE REPLACEMENT. RIGHT. 
          AND SO AND THERE'S A GUARANTEE THAT'S IN THE AGREEMENT THAT THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SIGNED OFF ON. YES. THAT'S IN THE APPROVED BUDGET OKAY. SO THAT'S THE MECHANISM THERE THAT GUARANTEES YOUR ONGOING HOMEOWNERS. REMEMBER MR. BURKE WILL BE OUT OF THIS PROJECT SOME MORE TIME THAT THE HOA THAT'S BEEN FORMED, AND HE'S ONE OF THE SPONSORS THAT EACH AND EVERY PURCHASER OF THESE TOWNHOMES HAS AGREED THAT THEY WILL BE PAYING THAT AMOUNT PURSUANT TO THAT APPROVED BUDGET. IF FOR SOME REASON THEY DON'T, IT'S JUST LIKE SOMEONE'S PROPERTY TAXES, THE HOA RETAINS THE RIGHT AND REST ASSURED THEY WILL TO FORECLOSE ON THE AMOUNT THAT'S OWED TO THAT 18,000 A YEAR THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ASIDE, WHO OVERSEES WHEN IT GETS USED 
          [01:40:05]
AND WHAT IT GETS USED FOR. AND IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $800,000. IS THAT $800,000 IN 2025 VALUE, OR IS THAT EXTRAPOLATED TO INCREASE IN 40 YEARS TIME FRAME FOR THE RECORD? DAVID BURKE DEVELOPMENT THE PRICE IN TODAY'S DOLLARS IS ABOUT 330. THERE'S AN INFLATOR ON THAT. IT'LL GET TO BE ABOUT 850. I'M OFF A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY DOLLARS, BUT IN 50 YEARS OR 40 YEARS, I'M SORRY, 40 YEARS. YOU AND I ARE AROUND FOR THAT. YEAH, WELL. GOOD LUCK. DAVE HOPES TO BE PLAYING HOCKEY. YEAH. AND WHO DECIDES HOW TO USE THE MONEY? THE 18. THE $18,000 THAT'S BEING PUT ASIDE EACH YEAR. BOARD OF MANAGERS IS RESPONSIBLE. THE FISCAL HAS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BUDGETING. SO SOMEBODY COULD SPEND IT ON SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE WATER LINES IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW. OKAY. AND WHAT IS THE REPERCUSSION FOR THAT? OH, THEY COULD GET CITED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. AND REST ASSURED, THAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE DON'T FOLLOW THEIR HOA DOCUMENTATION. ALL RIGHT. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE, AYE. THANK YOU. HAVE A GREAT EVENING. 
          THANK YOU. THE AUDIT OF CASH DISBURSEMENTS. IS THERE A LATE RESOLUTION A LATE RESOLUTION? YEAH. USUALLY WE DO THE AUDITS FIRST. SORRY. MY FAULT, BUT WE CAN DO THAT ONE FIRST.

          I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY, HEALTH AND LIVING CONDITIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. I GAVE YOU EACH A PACKET TONIGHT, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF PICTURES OF THE STUFF THAT'S GOING ON IN THE PARK, KIND OF A BREAKDOWN OF EVERYTHING. SAFETY HAZARDS. ONE OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS IS OUR BRIDGE IN THE PARK. IT'S THE ONLY CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE PARK AND THE BACK OF THE PARK. AND IT'S WHERE A MAJORITY OF OUR RESIDENTS IN THE PARK ACTUALLY RESIDE. AND RIGHT NOW THERE'S AN EMERGENCY EXIT, WHICH EMERGENCY VEHICLES CAN'T EVEN ACCESS. AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK BETH. AND OF COURSE, BOB, WHO'S NOT HERE, THE TWO PEOPLE RUNNING FOR TOWN SUPERVISOR FOR COMING OUT AND DOING A WALKTHROUGH WITH ME ON THE PARK. SO I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT. THERE ARE THREE HOLES IN THERE NOW, AND THERE'S KIDS RIDING THEIR BIKES AND ALL. 
          IT'S THEIR CHICKEN WIRE PROTECTING THESE KIDS FROM GOING INTO THESE HOLES, WHICH ARE DEEP, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE FOUNDATION UNDER THE ROAD. CRACKED THREE INCH 3.5IN WIDE. THE ROADS INSIDE THE PARK ARE CRUMBLING. THE EMERGENCY EXIT IN THE BACK IS HALF GRAVEL, HALF KIND OF PAVED. IT'S LOCKED. AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE KEYS ARE EITHER BROOKE GARDENS OR EAGLE CREST. IF THERE IS A FIRE, IF THAT BRIDGE GOES OUT, IF IT GETS FLOODED AGAIN, WHICH IT'S HAPPENED THREE TIMES, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET FIRE BACK THERE? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET AMBULANCES BACK THERE? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO RESCUE ANYONE BACK THERE IF THEY CAN'T GET OUT? I BUILDING CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN BACK THERE, AND THEY'RE THEY'RE WAITING TO HEAR. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IS WE WERE TOLD OUR COMMUNITY WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE GOING TO START WORK ON THE BRIDGE AS OF MAY 1ST. THEN IT WAS MOVED TO AUGUST OR JULY 31ST. AND THEN IT WAS AGAIN SAID THAT, WELL, RHP PROPERTY IS THERE. THEIR CONTRACTORS ARE RUNNING BEHIND AND THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO START WORK ON AUGUST 18TH. 
          GUESS WHAT. NOTHING NOTHING. AND NOW WE'RE TOLD WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT EVEN LONGER. 
          NOW THIS THIS BRIDGE HAS BEEN FALLING APART FOR YEARS. AND IF YOU YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES YOU CAN SEE IT. THERE'S ELECTRICAL CONDUIT BROKEN ALL OVER THE PLACE. 
          THERE'S RATS AND SQUIRRELS LIVING IN THAT CONDUIT. THE OTHER HEALTH HAZARDS, AS I'M SAYING ABOUT RATS, MY HOUSE FOR THANKSGIVING, I HAD SIX LITTLE VISITORS, SIX RATS RUNNING ACROSS MY MY KITCHEN FLOOR. I'M BEEN PAYING AN EXTRA $1,200 A MONTH FOR AN EXTERMINATOR BECAUSE RHP PROPERTIES, THE US'S LARGEST OWNER OF MOBILE HOME PARKS IN THE COUNTRY. $6 BILLION CORPORATION CAN'T PAY THEIR BILLS AND PAY FOR AN EXTERMINATOR. AND HELP US WITH THESE RATS. THERE WAS A CHILD DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME WHO IS BIT WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING. 
          JESUS. AND THIS. THIS WOMAN CAN'T COME FORWARD BECAUSE SHE'S IN OUR PARK FOR SAFETY, BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. SO SHE'S HIDING SO SHE CAN'T COME FORWARD. THERE'S NOTHING SHE CAN DO. ALSO, KEEPING A VET UP ALL NIGHT, THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW. BECAUSE THEY. YOU'RE 
          [02:00:01]
HEARING THAT STUFF CONSTANTLY HAPPENING IN YOUR HOUSE. NOT A GOOD IDEA. I COULD I COULD SEND YOU TO THE PSYCH WARD, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO. AND THEN THERE'S THE TREES IN THE PARK. 
          THERE'S AN 80 YEAR OLD VIETNAM VETERAN WITH A SPLIT TREE OVER HIS HOUSE AND WAS TOLD IF IT FAILS BY OUR MANAGEMENT, IF IT FALLS ON YOUR HOUSE, WE'LL PAY FOR IT. THAT'S ALL. WE'LL REPAIR YOUR HOUSE. GO AHEAD. GO, GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE TREE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT IF HE'S IN THE HOUSE WHEN THAT TREE FALLS? 80 YEAR OLD VIETNAM VETERAN GETS TAKEN OUT BY A TREE BECAUSE ENFORCEMENT IS NOT BEING DONE. FINES ARE NOT BEING GIVEN TO A $6 BILLION CORPORATION, WHICH CURRENTLY IS BEING SUED IN THREE SEPARATE STATES RIGHT NOW FOR ANTITRUST VIOLATIONS. I'VE SPOKEN TO THOSE ATTORNEYS, AND THOSE ARE ILLEGAL RENTS. I GAVE YOU A GRAPH, TOO. SO FAR I'VE I'VE MET ABOUT 20% OF THE PARK. IT TAKES ME ABOUT TEN HOUSES A DAY WHEN I'M ABLE TO, TO GET AROUND TO, TO GET PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR THE TENANTS ASSOCIATION. YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE MAJOR CONCERNS ARE THERE. ONE OF THEM IS RENT. OUR RENTS ARE BEING DONE LOT BY LOT. NOT AS A PARK AS A WHOLE, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT HAPPENS. I MEAN, IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE LOUD ONES, YOUR RENT GOES UP HIGHER THAN ANYBODY ELSE. YOU MIGHT EVEN GET EVICTED WITH A TEN DAY LEGAL TEN DAY EVICTION. YOU ALREADY YOU GET A CEASE AND DESIST FOR FOR TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. LIKE, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT A PUBLIC RECORD THAT OUR MANAGER AND MAINTENANCE GUY HAVE FELONY CONVICTIONS FROM SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA, ONE FOR GRAND THEFT AND THE OTHER ONE HAS FOUR, INCLUDING TWO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES. THAT'S WHO'S TAKING CARE OF OUR PARK, OUR SENIORS AND OUR VETERANS. 274 HOMES WHEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ACTUALLY THREE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE THERE. MY RENT HAS GONE UP 23% IN SIX YEARS. THIS YEAR, 5.4%. THAT'S THAT'S BEYOND THE 3%. AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE THREE CONDITIONS HAPPEN. EITHER TAXES HAVE GONE UP QUITE CONSIDERABLY. THEY HAVE TO DO CAPITAL UPGRADES, WHICH WE HAVE GOTTEN. WE AREN'T EVEN GETTING OUR MAINTENANCE DONE IN THE PARK, OR THEY HAVE TO BE GETTING A LOSS ON OUR PARK. $6 BILLION CORPORATIONS NOT GETTING A LOSS IN OUR PARK, I'LL TELL YOU THAT. SOME PEOPLE ARE EVEN GETTING THEIR RENTS INCREASED OVER THE THE 6% POINT RIGHT THERE. WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT IS A BILL THAT IS IT WAS IN PASSED, BUT IT HAS AND I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS ON ME. I'M SORRY, I DO. OKAY. AND AND IT HAD SOME FLAWS IN IT, A LOOPHOLE THAT THESE PEOPLE CAN GO THROUGH. THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO RAISE YOUR RENT 3% A YEAR. BUT IF THEY CHOOSE TO SAY THERE IS A MAINTENANCE THING OR THERE IS, WE HAD TO PAY MORE FOR SOMETHING ELSE, THEY CAN DO IT. 6% FOR SIX MONTHS. THEY CAN'T 6% FOR SIX MONTHS. NO THEY CAN'T. BUT I'VE LEARNED THIS. WHAT THIS IS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT IS SECTION TWO THREE. OKAY, LET'S LET CAROL LET HIM FINISH. LET ME FINISH. 
          OKAY. I DO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT I KNOW I CAN DO TO ASSEMBLY PEOPLE TO. YEAH, I GOT ASSEMBLY. JOHN JOHN RIVERA COMING IN, AND I JUST BECAME A MEMBER OF THE MOBILE HOME ASSOCIATION. SO I'VE BEEN A MEMBER. OKAY. AND WE HAVE YVONNE. I'VE BEEN TALKING TO YVONNE, I KNOW HER. SORRY ABOUT THAT. SMALL WORLD. THESE RENT INCREASES ARE WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION. AS I JUST EXPLAINED THE THREE CONDITIONS. AND BY THE WAY, MAINTENANCE. 
          LIKE IF THEY WERE TO REPAIR THAT BRIDGE OR OR JUST PUT IT EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS NOW, TEAR IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND PUT IT EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS. THAT DOES NOT COUNT AS A CAPITAL UPGRADE. WHAT THEY ARE TELLING THE TENANTS IS THE NEW HOMES THAT THEY'RE PUTTING IN ARE CAPITAL UPGRADES. AND ACCORDING TO A 1983 TAX LAW, WHICH DICTATES OR DEFINES BY LAW WHAT CAPITAL UPGRADES ARE NEW HOMES ARE NOT CAPITAL UPGRADES. CAPITAL UPGRADES HAVE TO BENEFIT BOTH THE TENANTS AND THE OWNER OF THE PARK, NOT JUST BE A CASH REVENUE FOR THE OWNERS. HARASSMENT AND RETALIATION AGAINST TENANTS. ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS AND FELLOW ORGANIZERS OF OUR TENANT ASSOCIATION GOT A CEASE AND DESIST, WHICH READ LIKE AN 
          [02:05:02]
ORDER OF PROTECTION AGAINST OUR MANAGER, OUR LOVELY MANAGER. WHICHEVER TIME YOU CALL HER, IT ENDS UP BEING HARASSMENT AND INSULT FEST. AND THEN GAVE HER A TEN DAY TO VACATE, AND THEN TRIED TO TELL HER THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE HER TO COURT BECAUSE SHE THREATENED OUR MANAGER'S LIFE. I'M SORRY, BUT WE HAVE A THREE MINUTE. I KNOW I'M ALMOST DONE. I'M ASKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LENIENCY BECAUSE I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF 274 OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. I ONLY GOT THIS MUCH MORE TO GO, THIS MUCH MORE. I'LL JUST MOVE ON TO THE CALL TO ACTION. I HAVE ALREADY LED BOTH BETH LORENZ AND BOB REYNOLDS ON TOURS OF EAGLE CREST, ALONG WITH BUILDING CODE ENFORCEMENT. I INVITE ALL OF YOU TO COME ANYTIME YOU WANT IN PARK RULES STATE YOU GUYS CAN'T SHOW UP AND DECIDE YOU'RE GOING TO DO A TOUR OF THE PARK. I DON'T KNOW IF THE TOWN CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO COME AS MY GUEST, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE YOU THROUGH A TOUR OF THE PARK AND SHOW YOU EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. 
          WE'RE ASKING OUR. OUR PARK IS ASKING YOU TO HOLD RHP ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRING THE BRIDGE, THE ROADS AND LIGHTING. BY THE WAY, WE PAY FOR THE STREET LIGHTING IN THE PARK. 
          THEY'RE WIRED DIRECTLY INTO OUR HOMES. AND ALL IT IS IS A TINY BULB IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. 
          THERE WE'RE PAYING THEIR ELECTRIC, WHICH IS AGAIN AGAINST THE LAW. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ACTUAL STREET LIGHTS, AND WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PAYING THEIR ELECTRIC BILLS. AND WE WANT TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH OUR PL 233 BEFORE ANY RENT INCREASES ARE PERMITTED. FROM HERE ON OUT, WE WANT YOU TO PROTECT ALL TENANTS FROM HARASSMENT AND RETALIATION. 
          BY THE WAY, I JUST GOT MY CEASE AND DESIST ORDER TWO WEEKS AGO FRIDAY. INVESTIGATE THE UNSAFE EMERGENCY EXIT AND REQUIRE A REAL SOLUTION. WE HAVE LEAKY SEWAGE AND OTHER ISSUES THAT I DIDN'T EVEN LIST ON HERE. I'M JUST GIVING YOU THE TOP 5 OR 6 ISSUES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. 
          SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET HURT AND IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A KID OR A SENIOR OR ONE OF OUR DISABLED VETERANS LIVING IN THE PARK. I AIN'T AFRAID TO STAND UP FOR THESE PEOPLE, AND I DON'T CARE IF I GET TO CROSS PARTY LINES AND TALK TO EVERY SOB FROM HERE ALL THE WAY TO DC, I WILL DO IT. AND YOU GUYS KNOW I WILL. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. OH, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, NO, I DON'T THINK SO. GAVE YOU A LOT OF INFO. AND IF I THINK OF SOMETHING I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL. THANK YOU. AND, FRANK, WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO SHOW UP ABOUT THE RAT PROBLEM. SINCE YOU WENT ON THE NEWS AND SAID YOU'D BE THERE. WE'RE STILL WAITING. THANK YOU. IS THAT YOU'RE STILL HERE? NO, I GOT IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY? ANYBODY ELSE THAT DIDN'T ALREADY SPEAK? NOPE. I GUESS JUST NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN. OH, I'M SORRY, BOARD MEMBERS. GO AHEAD. DAN, YOU'RE FIRST. I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. I CAN SEE RICK, JOHN, EBONY, JOHN 911 IS JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF US ON THURSDAY. JUST LET US ALL REMEMBER THOSE WHO SACRIFICED SAVING THOSE WHILE OTHER PEOPLE WERE RUNNING AWAY. THEY WERE RUNNING INTO DANGER. AND SCHOOLS HERE. OCTOBER. I JUST WANT A HEADS UP. HOPEFULLY THE SUPERVISOR WILL BUY A NAVY FLAG BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE NAVY'S 250TH BIRTHDAY. JUST SAYING. HEY. LIKE I SAID, ARE WE BUYING? ALL RIGHT, THERE'S GOING TO BE A CEREMONY ALSO ON 911 AT THE BEACH. SO SINCE YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. YES. 7:00. FRANK, BE VERY BRIEF. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE TOWN OF HAMBURG HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION. SOME OF THE MEMBERS ARE HERE IN THE MEETING AND ARE HERE REGULARLY, BUT I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THE WORK AND THE SERVICE THAT THEY PROVIDE TO TO OUR COMMUNITY. I ENJOYED THE MEETING AT THE MUSEUM. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. I GOT TO SEE THOSE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS THAT WERE WERE SAVED. AND THEY'RE I'M NOT GOING TO YOU'LL LET US KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT THEY'RE INVOLVED IN DOING SOME EXCITING THINGS FOR OUR TOWN. AND I WANTED TO THANK THEM, THEIR VOLUNTEERS, FOR THEIR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S IT. OKAY, MEG. I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE, AND I ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF DAN AND BOTH KATHY ABOUT NINE OVER 11, THERE IS A CEREMONY AT 7:00 AT THE TOWN BEACH. IT'S A YEARLY 
          [02:10:02]
CEREMONY, I THINK JOHN CROTTY, FOR PUTTING THAT ON EVERY YEAR AND ORGANIZING PEOPLE FOR IT. 
          IT IS A RATHER MOVING CEREMONY TO HIGHLIGHT THE SACRIFICES THAT WERE MADE THAT DAY. I ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A YOUNG LADY BY THE LAST NAME OF ARRINGTON THAT LIVES IN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG, THAT IS A GIRL SCOUT, AND WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO EARN. I BELIEVE IT WAS HER SILVER APPLE AWARD BY SETTING UP THREE PET PANTRY LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN. 
          IT WAS FANTASTIC TO SEE OUR YOUTH DOING SOMETHING INCREDIBLE. I JUST SPOKE TO HER MOM YESTERDAY AND SEVERAL OF THE PANTRIES. THEY'VE HAD TO REPLENISH THEM MULTIPLE TIMES, SO THERE IS DEFINITELY A NEED WITHIN THE TOWN. SO IF YOU FEEL CALLED OR YOU HAVE EXTRA PET SUPPLIES AT HOME, YOUR DOG JUST DID NOT LIKE THOSE BONES AND YOU BOUGHT THEM ON SALE. YOU CAN ADD THINGS TO THE PET PANTRY ALONG WITH THE ONES THAT SHE ALREADY HAS DONATED. 
          THERE'S LOCATIONS AT THE VFW POST IN LAKEVIEW, THE LIBRARY IN THE VILLAGE, AND THERE'S A THIRD LOCATION I BELIEVE IN BLASDELL. SO PLEASE, THE MOMENT YOU THINK NOBODY ELSE IS TRYING AND NOBODY ELSE CARES ABOUT THE TOWN, THE KIDS DEFINITELY CARE. JUST LIKE THE YOUNG MAN WHO IS HERE TODAY. THIS IS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. OKAY, WELL, VERY QUICKLY, I'LL JUST ALSO SAY THANK YOU TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION. I KNOW THEY HAVE WORKED LONG AND HARD OVER MANY YEARS TO SECURE THOSE WINDOWS, AND IT'S INCREDIBLE WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO TO DO. SO KUDOS TO THEM. AND THEN ALSO I WANTED TO STATE THAT OUR TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS. THEY'RE CONSTANTLY SENDING LETTERS AND ADVOCATING FOR ON BEHALF OF OUR TOWN. RECENTLY, YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN A SPEED REDUCTION ON ROUTE FIVE, FOR EXAMPLE. THEY WORK WITH AND THAT IS A STATE ROAD, BUT THEY WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE STATE AND WITH THE COUNTY. THEY WORK WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ON MANY DIFFERENT INITIATIVES. THEY'RE INVOLVED WITH THE CLARK AND MCKINLEY INTERSECTION CURRENTLY, AND THEY'RE ALSO DOING WORK ON LAKE AVENUE WITH THAT CROSSWALK. 
          THEY ALSO FREQUENTLY WILL ADVOCATE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN, AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY PUTTING A LETTER AND WORKING WITH MR. GIACOMINI. WE'RE PUTTING A LETTER TOGETHER TO ONCE AGAIN GO OUT TO THE STATE. THERE'S A COUPLE OF KEY AREAS THAT WE HAVE FOR YEARS PETITIONED THE STATE FOR TO TAKE A LOOK AT, AND THAT INCLUDES AT HOWARD AND CAMP, THAT WHOLE STRETCH OF CAMP AND SEVERAL OTHER AREAS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE PETITIONING THE STATE AGAIN. YOU KNOW, WE WAIT A FEW MONTHS AND THEN WE WE CIRCLE BACK AND TRY ONCE MORE. 
          WE HAD HOPED THAT WITH THE ADDITION OF FEEDMORE AND CAMP ROAD, THAT THE LAST TIME WE ASKED, IT MAY HAVE BEEN A POSITIVE RESPONSE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO CIRCLE BACK AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP KEEP ASKING. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE MANY DIFFERENT TOWN EMPLOYEES WHO HELP ALL THE TIME WHEN WE HAVE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND WE HAVE INCREASED THAT IN THE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE. WE ONE THING THAT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT IS TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHENEVER WE HAVE A STUDY, WHENEVER WE HAVE A PROJECT, SOMETHING THAT WE ARE DOING MORE AND MORE OF RECENTLY IS AS WE HAVE THESE ZONING CHANGES THAT HAVE COME OUT OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WE'RE PUTTING THEM INTO PLACE, SO THAT THAT DOCUMENT JUST DOESN'T SIT ON A SHELF. AND WE'RE MAKING ALL OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE COMMUNITY IS ASKING FOR, THAT WHEN THOSE ITEMS COME UP FOR A PUBLIC HEARING, OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF IS HERE. THEY COME EARLY, THEY COME FOR ABOUT AN HOUR SO THAT ANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN COME AND GET FURTHER INFORMATION. 
          THEY CAN TALK, THEY CAN LEARN, THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT OUR PUBLIC, THAT OUR RESIDENTS, OUR TAXPAYERS REALLY UNDERSTAND AND GIVE US INPUT. THAT'S HOW WE'RE ABLE TO CRAFT ALL OF THESE CHANGES AND IMPROVE THEM. WHEN WE HAVE STUDIES LIKE OUR BOA, WE HAD INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC FROM YEARS AGO. NOW THAT IT'S GETTING NEAR THE END OF THE STUDY, WE HAD ANOTHER THE THIRD PUBLIC MEETING, AND WE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO CIRCLE BACK TO THE STUDY AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S INCORPORATED IN THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. YOUR INPUT IS IS VITAL AND IS TRULY A PART OF OUR ONGOING PROCESS AS WE LOOK AT EVERYTHING AND MAKE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF THAT. THOSE TOWN EMPLOYEES WHO HELP US BE ABLE TO EXECUTE THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE HAMBURG CENTRAL AND THE FRONTIER CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEIR STAFF, THEIR STUDENTS, THEIR COACHES. THEY HAD AN EVENT ON SATURDAY. IT WAS THE FIRST OUTDOOR VOLLEYBALL MATCHES, GIRLS MATCHES AND BOYS MATCHES. BUT IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE COMMUNITY THERE. THERE WERE TENTS, OUR YOUTH AND SENIOR SERVICES STAFF, THEY WERE THERE AS ALWAYS, OUR HAMBURG POLICE, THEY WERE THERE. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT'S EVER BEEN DONE IN NEW YORK STATE. FIRST TIME EVER IN NEW YORK STATE. THE THE STANDS WERE PACKED BEFORE THE GIRLS EVEN STARTED TO PLAY. IT WAS JUST ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER, WORKING TOGETHER, MULTI-GENERATIONAL, OUR YOUTH, OUR SENIORS, OUR TEACHERS. I 
          [02:15:03]
SAW TEACHERS WHO I REMEMBER FROM WHEN OUR CHILDREN WENT THROUGH FRONTIER, AND THEY'RE STILL THERE DOING AMAZING THINGS FOR FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM. IT WAS GREAT. WATCH FOR WHEN THEY HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND AND ATTEND. AND THEN IN CLOSING, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ECHO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS SAID ABOUT THE OBSERVANCE THIS THURSDAY FOR 911 AT 7:00. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY, EVEN THIS MANY YEARS LATER, WE STAY DEDICATED AND COMMITTED, COMMITTED TO TAKING THE TIME EVERY SEPTEMBER 11TH TO PAUSE, COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY, REFLECT, RESPECT AND HONOR THOSE WHO WERE SO IMPACTED THAT DAY, BUT WHO CONTINUE EVERY DAY NOW TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF YOU THERE. THANKS. OKAY. I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT AND SHOWING YOUR SUPPORT, WHETHER YOU WERE FOR OR AGAINST IT, THE VOTE THAT WE TOOK. BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. AND IF YOU CAN MAKE THE SEPTEMBER 11TH CEREMONY, THAT'S IT'S A VERY MOVING CEREMONY AND IT'LL BE AT THE BEACH. AND IF IF THERE'S RAIN, IT'LL BE THE BACKUP PLACE IS THE SCRANTON FIRE HALL. SO WE CAN GO THERE INSTEAD. BUT I WISH YOU ALL A PLEASANT GOOD EVENING AND HAVE A SAFE RIDE HOME. THANK YOU ALL. MOTION TO ADJOURN. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR?
