          WELCOME. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CALL THE APRIL 27TH, 2026 MEETING OF THE HAMBURG TOWN BOARD TO ORDER. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. IF EVERYONE WOULD PLEASE STAND AND JOIN US IN THE PLEDGE AND THEN REMAIN STANDING FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. IF EVERYONE WOULD REMAIN STANDING AS OUR USUAL PRACTICE, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR ACTIVE MILITARY AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. AND THIS EVENING, IT WAS ALSO BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. IF WE CAN KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE A CIVIL STAR SILVER STAR SERVICE BANNER DAY, WHICH IS CELEBRATED EVERY MAY 1ST. IT WAS OFFICIALLY ESTABLISHED IN 2010. SILVER STAR SERVICE BANNER DAY HONORS ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED IN BATTLE, OR WHO ARE ILL OR DYING AS A RESULT OF THEIR MILITARY SERVICE. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VETERANS LIVE WITH PHYSICAL WOUNDS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA CAUSED IN CONFLICTS AS OLD AS WORLD WAR TWO AND THROUGH THE PRESENT. SO IF WE COULD INCLUDE THEM IN OUR THOUGHTS DURING THIS MOMENT OF SILENCE. THANK YOU. IF I COULD TAKE A MOMENT ALSO AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS EVENING, WE ALWAYS WE TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR OTHER LEGISLATIVE BODIES AS WE WORK FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COMMUNITIES. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE MISTER JEAN MARCHAK. I HOPE I SAID THAT CORRECTLY. JEAN WAS FORMERLY THE SUPERVISOR OF THE TOWN OF ORCHARD PARK. CURRENTLY, JEAN SERVES AS A WESTERN NEW YORK REGIONAL COORDINATOR FOR SENATOR PATRICK GALLIVAN. SENATOR GALLIVAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT FRIEND TO THE TOWN OF HAMBURG, AND HE WORKS COLLABORATIVELY ON MANY PROJECTS WITH US AND IS IN FREQUENT COMMUNICATION WITH THE TOWN SO THAT WE CAN KEEP HIM UP TO DATE ON THE NEEDS AND THE ISSUES AND THE PROJECTS GOING ON IN THE TOWN. SO WE WELCOME JEAN THIS EVENING AND APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE FOR OUR TOWN BOARD MEETING. TOWN

ALL IN FAVOR? SOUTHWESTERN BOULEVARD AND BIG TREE ROAD 
          [4.28. SW Blvd and Big Tree Road Traveler Center Rezoning SEQR Resolution]

WHEREAS THE TOWN OF HAMBURG RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM BRYANT DEVELOPMENT LLC TO REZONE 4.14 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTHWESTERN BOULEVARD AND BIG TREE ROAD FROM C1 TO C2 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL SCALE TRAVEL CENTER TO BE ANCHORED BY AN 8700 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING WITH GASOLINE SERVICE, ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERAL QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENTS AND OTHER SITE IMPROVEMENTS. AND WHEREAS, PURSUANT TO PART SIX, ONE SEVEN OF THE IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO ARTICLE EIGHT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LAW, THE HAMBURG TOWN BOARD HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS SEEKER LEAD AGENCY AND CONDUCTED A COORDINATED ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR ITS UNLISTED ACTION. AND WHEREAS, THE TOWN BOARD HAS REVIEWED THE FEA, F PARTS ONE, TWO AND THREE AND SOLICITED INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC AND FROM OTHER INVOLVED AND INTERESTED AGENCIES, AND HAS TAKEN A HARD LOOK AT THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED ZONING MAP AMENDMENT AND SUBSEQUENT PROJECT. AND WHEREAS, THE FINDINGS OF THIS REVIEW INDICATE THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING MAP, AMENDMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE SMALL SCALE TRAVEL CENTER WITH THE ACCOMPANYING GASOLINE SERVICE WITH CONDITIONS PROPOSED BY THE PLANNING BOARD AND ACCEPTED BY THE TOWN, WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE STATE AND OR HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC. AND WHEREAS, THE TOWN OF HAMBURG HELD THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING ON MARCH 9TH, 2026, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THE HAMBURG TOWN BOARD AS SEEKER LEAD AGENCY FOR THIS ACTION HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ADOPTION OF THE TOWN OF HAMBURG, ZONING CHANGE AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL SCALE TRAVEL CENTER WITH ACCOMPANYING GASOLINE SERVICE AT THIS LOCATION WILL NOT RESULT IN ANY SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT, AND A NEGATIVE DECLARATION IS HEREBY ISSUED BASED ON THE REASONS AS SET FORTH IN THE FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM AND PART THREE ANALYSIS ATTACHED. AND BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, THE TOWN BOARD AUTHORIZES THE TOWN SUPERVISOR TO SIGN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM, WHICH WILL ACT AS THE SEEKER NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND AUTHORIZES THE APPROPRIATE NOTICES AND FILINGS BE MADE. SO MOVED. I WAS INTENDING ON VOTING NO ON THIS, BUT DO WE NEED A SECOND, FIRST? SECOND ON THE QUESTION? YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY MY INTENTIONS WERE REALLY NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT, BUT WITH THE CONCESSIONS AND CONDITIONS THAT WERE PUT ON BY THE PLANNING BOARD, AND OUT OF THE DOZEN PEOPLE THAT CAME HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE, NOT ONE PERSON SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE GAS STATION. SO I'D ALSO LIKE WHILE WE'RE ON THE QUESTION, JOSH, IS THERE ANYTHING BEFORE THIS RESOLUTION IN THE NEXT RESOLUTION ARE VOTED ON? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECAP OR ADD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BOARD BEFORE THE VOTES? SO BEFORE YOU RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE THE SECRET RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROPOSED REZONING. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT AT A BUNCH OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS. 
          I'VE EVEN SPOKEN WITH THIS BOARD AT THE WORK SESSION, NOT RELATED TO SEEKER, BUT IN THE SECOND RESOLUTION, I KNOW THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT, WELL, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PROJECT DOESN'T GET A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT ON SOUTHWESTERN, OR IF THERE'S NOT AN ENTRANCE ON THE BIG TREE? OR WHAT HAPPENS IF THE GAS STATION SHOULD FAIL OR A LOT OF CONCERNS. SO WHAT WE DID WAS TALK WITH THIS BOARD ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS THAT THIS BOARD WANTED. WE LOOKED AT THE REZONING REPORT THAT THE PLANNING BOARD PUT TOGETHER. WE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT ON WHAT CONDITIONS THAT THEY WOULD BE AMENABLE TO. AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE APPROVAL RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROJECT IS THAT THERE'S A CONDITION THAT THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THEMSELVES THAT IF THEY DON'T GET A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT ON SOUTHWESTERN OR ENTRANCE ON THE BIG TREE, THE PROJECT ISN'T EVEN FEASIBLE TO THEM. SO THAT'S CAVEAT 
          [00:25:03]
NUMBER ONE. CAVEAT NUMBER TWO IS THAT THERE'S A PROVISION IN THE APPROVAL RESOLUTION THAT SHOULD THIS PROJECT NOT BE CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THREE YEARS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS RESOLUTION, THIS BOARD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REVIEW THE REZONING AGAIN. SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IF IT'S NOT CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THREE YEARS, IT'S CAVEAT NUMBER TWO. AND THEN CAVEAT NUMBER THREE IS THAT THE APPLICANT WAS AGREEABLE TO A PERFORMANCE BOND, WHICH WOULD BE WORKED OUT BETWEEN THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE TOWN ENGINEER RELATED TO THE LANDSCAPING, RELATED TO SOME OF THE STORMWATER FACILITIES, AND THAT THAT AMOUNT WOULD BE WORKED OUT BETWEEN CAMI AS TOWN ENGINEER AND THE PLANNING BOARD. I KNOW MR. KOZUB, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WERE CONCERNED WITH. SO THAT'S CAVEAT NUMBER THREE. IF THERE ISN'T EVEN AN ENTRANCE ONTO EITHER ROAD, IT'S NOT FEASIBLE TO THE APPLICANT. 
          IF THEY DO GET BOTH ENTRANCES AND THEY DON'T CONSTRUCT IT, THEN THE PLANNING, THEN THE TOWN BOARD HAS THE RIGHT TO RELOOK AT THE REZONING. AND THEN IF THERE'S A QUESTION ON SOME OF THE FACILITIES, IF THEY'RE NOT BUILT UP TO STANDARD, THEN THE PLANNING BOARD HAS THE RIGHT TO RELOOK AT THE REZONING. AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THAT CAVEAT. TWO THE THREE YEAR PERIOD IS THAT THREE YEARS TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION, BE OPERATING BY THREE YEARS OR START CONSTRUCTION BY THREE YEARS. I BELIEVE THE RESOLUTION CONDITION IS TO START CONSTRUCTION AFTER THREE YEARS. OKAY. NOW. COMMENCED WITHIN THREE YEARS. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT STATES. WOULD YOU ALSO COMMENT ABOUT, I BELIEVE ANOTHER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WAS RAISED PREVIOUSLY WAS ABOUT HAVING A DEFINITIVE PLAN, SINCE IT DOES INVOLVE GAS STATIONS. AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAD INDICATED THAT GAS STATIONS NOW ARE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST AND SOME OF THE PREVIOUS CONCERNS. 
          BUT ALSO, THE QUESTION WAS RAISED ABOUT A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE, IF EVER, DECADES DOWN THE ROAD, THIS GAS STATION WASN'T STILL BEING UTILIZED AS SUCH. CORRECT. SO THE APPLICANT PROVIDED A MEMO FROM US. GAS STATIONS ARE A LOT DIFFERENT NOW THAN THEY WERE EVEN IN THE 90S AND EARLY 2000. OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE REGULATED THROUGH DECC. THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE ON THE RECORD, WHICH WAS A PART OF THE SECRET DOCUMENTATION, THAT THERE ARE STRINGENT STANDARDS THAT DC HAS TO FOLLOW FOR GAS STATIONS. THERE'S A LEAK DETECTION SYSTEMS. THERE'S A LOT OF MONITORING WHEN IT COMES TO THE UNDERGROUND FUEL TANKS, AND WE'VE PUT IN THE PROVISIONS FOR, LIKE I SAID. SO THAT PERFORMANCE BOND THAT THE TOWN BOARD HAS THE RIGHT TO RELOOK AT THE REZONING SHOULD THINGS IN THE FUTURE, YOU KNOW, NOT WORK, WHETHER IT'S NOT CONSTRUCTED OR WHETHER THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS STATION THAT THIS BOARD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO RELOOK AT THE GAS STATION. SO THERE'S A LOT OF POWER THAT THIS BOARD HAS TO BRING THE PROJECT BACK SHOULD IT NOT COME TO FRUITION. GOT IT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JOSH? GOOD. JOSH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN? SO WE HAVE A PROPER MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR AYE AYE AYE. OPPOSED. SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD AND BIG

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE ZONING CODE OF THE TOWN OF HAMBURG BE AMENDED AS FOLLOWS TO AMEND LOCAL LAW NUMBER TEN OF THE YEAR 1986, THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF HAMBURG. CHAPTER 280, ENTITLED ZONING TO PROVIDE FOR A CHANGE IN THE BOUNDARY OF ZONING MAP WHEREBY THE ZONING IS CHANGED FROM C1 TO C2 FOR THE PROPERTY IDENTIFIED BY SB L NUMBER 160.18.19.1, SO MOVED. SECOND ON THE QUESTION, JOSH, JUST ONE IN NUMBER TEN, IT NOTES EVERYTHING REGARDING THE HIGHWAY WORK PERMIT, BUT IT SPECIFIES BIG TREE ROAD, BUT IT DOES NOT SAY SOUTHWESTERN. YOU SAID THE NUMBER TEN. SO BIG TREE. SO BIG TREE IS WHERE THE ONE OF THE MAIN ENTRANCES FOR THE PROJECT WOULD GO FOR SOUTHWESTERN OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE RIGHT AND RIGHT OUT. WE CAN. IF YOU WANT, WE CAN ADD TO THE TO THE RESOLUTION TO ADD SOUTHWESTERN. I THINK BY COVERING WITH BIG TREE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY GET A HIGHWAY WORK PERMIT FOR SOUTHWESTERN OR BIG TREE, THEY'RE BOTH STATE ROADS. AND I THINK IT. IT'S THE SAME FOR BOTH. IF THEY'RE UNABLE TO GET ENTRANCE ON. EITHER WAY, THEY SAID THAT THE PROJECT ISN'T FEASIBLE TO THEM, BUT WE CAN ADD SOUTHWESTERN. IF THAT SUFFICES. DO YOU FEEL IT'S NECESSARY? I DO NOT, BUT WE CAN ADD IT IF YOU. IF YOU DO, ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS? I DON'T THINK SO. NO, I DON'T THINK SO. BECAUSE IF YOU'RE COMING FROM THE WEST, GOING EAST OR SOMETHING, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TURN LEFT AT THE LIGHT ANYWAYS BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO. YOU CAN'T GET IN THAT WAY. AND IF YOU'RE COMING OUT MAKING A RIGHT OR I MEAN A LEFT, YOU GOT TO GO OUT BIG TREE. I DON'T I DON'T THINK THERE'S MATTERS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR BECAUSE IT WASN'T NOTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE CONSIDERED THE MAIN ENTRANCE. RIGHT? RIGHT. YEAH. 
          AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, ALL THESE CONDITIONS, AS YOU SEE NUMBER 12, THEY'RE SUBJECT TO A DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIONS, MEANING THAT THIS WILL BE FILED AT THE COUNTY CLERK'S. AND THESE WILL RUN WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPERTY. THANKS, JOSH. NO PROBLEM. OKAY. 
          THERE'S A PROPER MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. AND THE QUESTION. GO AHEAD. I'M GOING TO VOTE NO AGAIN. I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK IN THE LONG TERM AND THIS BOARD, AND I'VE BEEN ONE OF THE FEW MEMBERS THAT HAVE VOTED AGAINST REZONING. THERE'S BEEN SOME DISASTROUS PROJECTS IN THE TOWN. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS ONE'S A DISASTER, BUT THE ONE THAT IS A DISASTER IS THE ONE I BELIEVE ON PROXIMATE TO HOWARD ROAD THAT WAS ZONED COMMERCIAL. IT WAS 
          [00:35:06]
SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE ON ROUTE 20, SOUTHWESTERN BOULEVARD, THERE THEY, THE DEVELOPER OR THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY PROBABLY HAD PROBLEMS GETTING A CUT IN. SO WE REZONED IT. AND THEN WE HAD A LOT OF RESIDENTS UPSET BECAUSE THEY CLEAR CUT ALL THE TREES. MY PERSPECTIVE. MY MY PERSPECTIVE ON THESE THINGS IS THAT WE HAVE SPENT, WE SPEND. AND I KNOW I'M GOING TO BE OUTVOTED ON THIS PROBABLY, BUT WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME DOING LONG TERM PLANS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT. I'VE SEEN IT DONE IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO TO WITH WITH BAD DECISION MAKING WHERE THEY THEY HAVE CODES AND THEN THEY PUT, YOU KNOW, BUILDINGS LIKE THE MAIN PLACE MALL OR THE CONVENTION CENTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW THEIR ORIGINAL ZONING. WE HAD GREAT ARCHITECTS IN BUFFALO, FREDERICK, LAW, OLMSTED, CALVERT, VAUX. THEY WOULD OUTLINE THE PARKWAY SYSTEM WITH GREEN SPACE AND SO FORTH. BUT HERE IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT IS THE TOWN OF HAMBURG. THERE'S ALREADY A GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET. I THINK TRAFFIC, WE HAVE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS IN THE AREA. I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO THE POLICE ABOUT THIS, ABOUT HOW MANY ACCIDENTS THEY RESPOND. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO PUT A GAS STATION ACROSS FROM ANOTHER GAS STATION. IT'S AN OUT OF TOWN DEVELOPER. 
          THEY'RE NOT LOCAL BUSINESSES. ALL THE JOBS CREATED ARE WHAT ECONOMISTS REFER TO AS SECONDARY LABOR MARKET JOBS. THEY'RE ALL PART TIME, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 1 OR 2 FULL TIME JOBS. SECONDARY LABOR MARKET JOBS DON'T HAVE BENEFITS TYPICALLY, OR IF THE BENEFITS ARE RELATIVELY SMALL. SO I DON'T THINK IT DOES ANYTHING. IT ADDS ANY VALUE. I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE DO ZONING AND WE DO. WE CHANGE THE CODE. AND TO ME, IT'S MEANINGLESS BECAUSE ALL THAT EVERY TIME A DEVELOPER COMES BEFORE THE TOWN, WE'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, FINE, WE'LL CHANGE OUR OUR PLAN BECAUSE IT'S UP TO THE BOARD THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO REZONE. 
          AND I THINK WE'RE TOO EASY WITH, WITH OUR WITH OUR REZONING. I KNOW IT IS ALREADY ZONED COMMERCIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROJECTS CAN CAN BE PLACED THERE, BUT NOT NOT A GAS STATION THAT'S GOING TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE TRAFFIC, NOT REALLY CREATE ANY GREAT JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE OF HAMBURG. I DON'T THINK IT ADDS VALUE. I DON'T THINK HAMBURG IS A BETTER PLACE BY REZONING IT. I BELIEVE I WILL BE OUTVOTED, BUT I FEEL BETTER JUST PUTTING OUT, YOU KNOW, MY MY VIEWPOINT ON IT. AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES TO, YOU KNOW, ADDRESS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I HAD. THE LAST THING I WILL SAY IS, AND I'VE HEARD THIS FROM MY COLLEAGUES BEFORE, AND IT'S IT'S FROM A POSITION OF FEAR RATHER THAN STRENGTH. WHEN WE HAD THE HOWARD ZONE, HOWARD HOWARD ROAD REZONING, MY COLLEAGUES ON THE BOARD HAD INDICATED, WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S I LOOKED AT IT, BUT IT COULD BE WORSE BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY ZONED. IT'S ALREADY ZONED COMMERCIAL, AND WE REZONE THAT TO RESIDENTIAL. I DIDN'T BECAUSE OF OUT OF FEAR. WELL, WE ALREADY HAVE A PLANNING BOARD. WE HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          WE CAN DO THESE THINGS PROPERLY FOR FOR THE LONG TERM. I DON'T FEEL AS A BOARD, WE SHOULD OPERATE OUT OF FEAR. WE WERE ELECTED BY BY CITIZENS AND RESIDENTS. WE SHOULD WE SHOULD BE EMPOWERED BY THOSE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED US, RATHER THAN OPERATING OUT OF FEAR THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN PUT SOMETHING ELSE, LIKE A LIKE A CAR WASH OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE DON'T LIKE. IT STILL NEEDS SITE PLAN APPROVAL FROM THE FROM THE PLANNING BOARD. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES NOT TO OPERATE OUT OF FEAR, BUT STRENGTH FROM THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE THAT ARE ALREADY OVERBURDENED BY OVERDEVELOPMENT IN THIS TOWN. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER GAS STATION. SO I'M GOING TO VOTE NO. OKAY, SO IF I COULD JUST MAKE A FEW COMMENTS, THE FIRST IS THAT I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, RATHER THAN TO ASSIGN WORDS OR EMOTIONS TO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. SO FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT NAME NAMES I OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. SO AS ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER, AS A FELLOW BOARD MEMBER OF YOURS, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT I DO NOT MAKE ANY DECISION MADE OUT OF FEAR. WHAT I DO IS MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON. CONSULT WITH ALL THE PROFESSIONALS AND CONSULTANTS THAT WE WORK WITH, WITH THE COMMENTS THAT WE DO GET FROM THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND WITH A HOST OF OTHER INFORMATION THAT WE'RE ABLE TO RECEIVE. WE THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, IF IT EVEN IS VOTED THROUGH, HAS QUITE A FEW CONDITIONS, BECAUSE WHAT THE TOWN BOARD IN RECENT YEARS, AND I APPLAUD THE BOARD MEMBERS HERE, WHAT THEY'VE BECOME MUCH MORE SAVVY TO IS INCORPORATING MANY CONDITIONS, BECAUSE NOT EVERY PROJECT IS CREATED THE SAME. AND IT'S SOMETIMES A VERY HIGHLY NUANCED DECISION. SO I APPLAUD THEM FOR UTILIZING A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT CONDITIONS WITH THE HELP OF OUR PLANNING CONSULTANT, SO THAT WE CAN CREATE PROJECTS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY TAILORED FOR CERTAIN SITUATIONS. I KNOW I WAS ON THE BOARD WHEN A PREVIOUS PROJECT CAME FOR THIS LOCATION, WHEN WE HAD A GREAT 
          [00:40:06]
OUTCRY FROM THE RESIDENTS, AND WE DID LISTEN TO THE INPUT THAT THEY HAD AT THE TIME. I BELIEVE THAT'S WHEN THEY WANTED TO PUT A CAR WASH IN, WHEN THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT WAS FULLY VETTED AND ANALYZED, I VOTED AGAINST IT. THE PROJECT WAS VOTED DOWN. THE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT FORTH WERE NOT ABLE TO BE MITIGATED BY ANY CONDITIONS. THIS IS NOT A DECISION THAT'S BEFORE US THAT CAME ABOUT LIGHTLY. IT ACTUALLY INVOLVED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND THEIR INPUT TO TRY TO COME UP WITH CONDITIONS TO SAY, WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD PROJECT FOR THAT AREA. I TOO, HAD CONCERNS ABOUT A GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET FROM ANOTHER GAS STATION. 
          HOWEVER, ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT JOSH HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE US ON THE NEW STANDARDS FOR GAS STATIONS AND THE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED HERE, DO MITIGATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF THOSE CONCERNS. AS I SAID BEFORE, PREVIOUSLY, WHEN IT WAS A CAR WASH, THAT'S WHAT WAS ALLOWED UNDER THE PREVIOUS ZONING. SO THERE'S A GOOD EXAMPLE WHERE SOMETIMES THE ZONING, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A TOWN OF THIS SIZE, IT'S IT'S YOU HAVE LARGE PARCELS, YOU HAVE MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS THAT APPLY AND CONDITIONS CHANGE OVER THE YEARS. SO WHILE I'M NOT TYPICALLY IN FAVOR OF, OF REZONING AS A TOOL, WHICH IS WHY I LED THE EFFORT FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT DOES NEED TO BE ANALYZED AND THOUGHT ABOUT FROM THE TOWN BOARD PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE JUST THAT IT MAY OPERATE IN A, YOU KNOW, BETTER INTEREST FOR OUR COMMUNITY. JOSH, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT AND THE OTHER THING I DID WANT TO COMMENT ON HERE, BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT, JOSH AND THE TOWN BOARD HAS WORKED VERY HARD TO HELP BRING IN INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITY SO THAT WE CAN ALL MAKE THESE IMPORTANT DECISIONS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS MOST DISENFRANCHIZING IS WHEN MISINFORMATION IS PERPETUATED OUT IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP THE HOWARD ROAD PROJECT, AGAIN, THAT IS WAS A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WAS MADE EVEN WORSE BY MISINFORMATION. SO, JOSH, I AM GOING TO ASK YOU TO ACTUALLY STATE THE FACTS ONCE AGAIN ON THAT PROJECT, BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, THERE WAS MISINFORMATION PRESENTED TO OUR COMMUNITY, THIS BOARD. I WELL, ACTUALLY, YOU BROUGHT IT UP AS A POINT IF YOU COULD TALK ABOUT IT IN YOUR REPORT, BUT I I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW. ACTUALLY, IT'S APPROPRIATE AS FAR AS. JOSH, WOULD YOU BE HAPPY? JOSH. I, I ACTUALLY AM GOING TO FINISH MY SENTENCE ACTUALLY, I'M GOING TO FINISH BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SAY, JOSH, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COMMENT ON THAT DURING YOUR BOARD REPORT ON YOUR DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORT AT THE END. THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET THE ACCURATE INFORMATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. SO WE WILL HAVE YOU COMMENT ON THE HOWARD ROAD PROJECT DURING YOUR DEPARTMENT REPORT, IF YOU DON'T MIND. THAT'LL GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO PREPARE. I KNOW YOU'RE SUCH A DICTATOR RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DEMAND HIM. NO, NO, NOT THE BOARD I ASKED. I ASKED, I ASKED HIM IF HE'D BE WILLING TO BRING UP THAT INFORMATION. JOSH PREPARED A WONDERFUL GUIDELINE ABOUT THAT PROJECT AT THE TIME TO HELP EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. AND SO I'M I WILL THROW IT TO JOSH TO SAY, IF YOU WOULD BE SO INCLINED TO REVISIT THAT TOPIC DURING YOUR DEPARTMENT REPORT, I KNOW I, AS A BOARD MEMBER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF GETTING ACCURATE INFORMATION OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, JOSH, SO MUCH. I WOULD THINK THAT WE WERE BOTH ON THE BOARD AT THE SAME TIME, AND I KNOW YOU'RE DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT, AS I CAN SEE. THAT'S WHY I KNOW WE. LET ME FINISH, PLEASE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE STAFF IN A UNILATERAL WAY BY BY YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND DIRECTING BECAUSE HE'S, I GUESS, A CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE USING YOUR ROLE AS THE SUPERVISOR. BUT I SEE NO RESOLUTION OF THIS BOARD ASKING JOSH TO GIVE SUCH A REPORT. YOU MAY DISAGREE WITH MY INTERPRETATION, AND I KNOW WE DID DISAGREE WITH THE HOWARD ROAD MATTER. I HAD VOTED DIFFERENTLY, BUT BEFORE US RIGHT NOW IS THIS RESOLUTION WHICH I SAID, I'M GOING TO VOTE NO, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO DRAG, YOU KNOW, TO ME AND I AND I SAID, WHY I'M VOTING NO. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO SAY I DON'T DO ANYTHING OUT OF FEAR, EXCEPT UNLESS MY WIFE, THEN I GET A LITTLE NERVOUS A LITTLE BIT AND I WANT THAT. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I ALSO VOTED NO ON THE PROJECT ON HOWARD ROAD IN SOUTHWESTERN, IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING. BUT EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THIS IS ALLOWED IN THE OTHER CODE EXCEPT FOR THE GAS STATION. 
          AND WHEN THE PEOPLE CAME UP HERE TO SPEAK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT ONE PERSON SPOKE ABOUT NOT HAVING THE GAS STATION. AS YOU ALLUDED TO, THERE'S A GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET. ME BEING A LACKAWANNA GUY, THERE'S SOMETIMES THERE'S A GAS STATION ON RIDGE AND. ABBOTT ROAD, LIKE FOUR OF THEM IN ONE INTERSECTION. YOU KNOW, YOU 
          [00:45:02]
COULD GO TO THE ONE THAT'S BEST FOR YOU SO YOU DON'T GET AN ACCIDENT. SO I BELIEVE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRAVELING THIS DIRECTION MIGHT GO TO TOPS FOR THEIR GAS. AND ONE'S GOING OTHERWISE MAY STOP AT THIS PLACE. IT MIGHT BE A CONVENIENCE. I DON'T SEE IT BEING ANY MORE OF A HINDER THAT. BUT BY VOTING ON THIS, I DON'T THINK I'M DOING IT OUT OF FEAR. 
          BUT ANYWAYS. OKAY, DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS QUESTIONS, THOUGHTS? OKAY, SINCE WE HAVE A PROPER MOTION AND A PROPER SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, I OPPOSED. THEN IS THERE 
          [Additional Item 1]
A MOTION? IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AUDITS? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AUDITS. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE AYE. SO WE'LL MOVE TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION. DO WE 
          [5. Public Comment]
HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. WE DO. THANK YOU DIANA. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS DIANA PATTON, THE PRESIDENT OF THE EAGLE CREST TENANTS ASSOCIATION. FIRST, REGARDING I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE THE SPEED SIGN. WE DID GET IT. AND IT IS GIVING A SMALL EFFECT IN OUR PARK BECAUSE IT'S PLACED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PARK. AS YOU LEAVE, IT'S NOT PLACED ON A PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE SPEEDING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE MANAGER OF THE PARK. I THINK THE CHIEF. YES. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN, CHIEF, BUT I BELIEVE HE SAID BECAUSE IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY, THEY CAN'T GO ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND PUT THE SIGN THERE, AM I CORRECT? AND HAD IT BE IN THE FRONT OF THE. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TRAILER PARK GOING IN THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN THAT YOU PUT UP THERE TO MONITOR. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. I KNOW WE CAN'T ENFORCE VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW INFRACTIONS IN PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT AS FAR AS THE SPEED SIGN. YEAH, NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ONE THAT THE MACHINE YOU HAVE THAT READS THE SPEED, THE RADAR SIGN. YEAH. YOU CAN'T PUT THAT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. RIGHT. IS THAT WHAT IS THAT WHAT I IT'S IT'S THERE NOW IT'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT IT'S ON THE ENTRANCE, RIGHT? ACTUALLY, IT'S RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE COMING UP TO THE INTERSECTION. IT'S ON. IT'S ON PARK PROPERTY. BUT THE PLACE WE NEED IT IS FOSTER RIDGE AND NORTH EAGLE CREST, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE SPEEDING CONTINUES. THE THE PROBLEM WITH HAVING IT IN THE FRONT IS IT'S NOT REALLY DOING MUCH, EXCEPT THAT WE FOUND THAT SCHOOL BUSSES, POSTAL WORKERS AND DELIVERY DRIVERS HAVE SLOWED DOWN. SO IT IS HAVING AN EFFECT. IT'S JUST NOT GETTING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THE BIGGEST AMOUNT OF SPEEDING. QUICK, QUICK QUESTION, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE ENTRANCE. AND IS IT ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT? RIGHT NOW? NO. YOU MEAN THE ENTRANCE TO THE PARK? I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE WITH IT. IS IT AT THE FIRST POINT OF ENTRANCE? YEAH. IF YOU COME OFF BIG TREE, IF YOU'RE GOING DOWN BIG TREE, YOU GOT FROM, LET'S SAY CAMP ROAD OR SAINT FRANCIS DRIVE, IF YOU'RE COMING DOWN, YOU GOT BROOK GARDENS FIRST, THEN YOU HAVE A COUPLE HOUSES IN BETWEEN. THEN YOU HAVE EAGLE CREST AND YOU COME INTO THE PARK, YOU GET PAST THE SIGN AND YOU'RE YOU'RE PAST THE OFFICE ON YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE. IT'D BE ON YOUR LEFT HAND SIDE, RIGHT THERE. SO IS IT SAFE? AND BY THE STOP SIGN, IS IT SAFE TO ASSUME THAT THEN IF THE SPEEDING IS GOING ON IN THE BACK OF THE PARK, IT'S CURRENT RESIDENTS DON'T KNOW. OKAY. AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY EITHER WAY, WHEN I DON'T KNOW, OF COURSE, ALL WE KNOW IS, IS THAT WE. BUT THE SPEEDING IS HAPPENING. WE HAVE RING CAMERAS AND STUFF. AND I MEAN, THESE GUYS ARE GOING BY SO FAST YOU'RE NOT EVEN CATCHING. BUT THE BUMPER. YEAH. YOU KNOW, AND IF YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TEN MILES AN HOUR IN THERE AND WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT MORE KIDS IN THE PARK, AND THEY ARE DRIVING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEIR BIKES AND PLAYING AROUND. YEAH. WE DON'T WANT KIDS GETTING HURT. 
          THIS IS ABOUT SAFETY. WE UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T ENFORCE TRAFFIC LAW, BUT THAT SIGN HAS HAD A SMALL EFFECT. AND IF IT COULD BE MOVED TO A PLACE THAT WOULD HAVE A GREATER EFFECT, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL FOR SURE. THANKS. AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR PUTTING IT IN. SO OUR SECRETARY, GARY WALTERS, WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT THAT UP. AND WE'RE VERY HAPPY THAT IT'S HAVING EFFECT. SECOND LAST BOARD MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT CHAPTER 165, ENFORCEMENT EMERGENCY ACCESS. WE SUPPORT THE TOWN CODE, CHAPTER 165 BEING UPDATED AND LOOKED AT AND EVERYTHING ELSE. VERY MUCH SO. AND WE'RE GLAD THAT THE BOARD IS LISTENING TO 
          [00:50:04]
US AND TAKING US SERIOUSLY, LISTENING TO US BECAUSE WE WE FELT THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN HEARD IN A LONG TIME. AND IT'S ACTUALLY HAVING AN EFFECT. MORE TENANTS ARE STARTING TO SPEAK UP. BUT THE LOCKED EMERGENCY ACCESS GATE BETWEEN EAGLE CREST AND BROOK GARDENS CONFLICTS WITH OUR CURRENT CODE RIGHT NOW, AND NEW YORK STATE FIRE CODE 503 AND FIRE CODE 308, WHICH PROHIBIT OBSTRUCTION OF REQUIRED ACCESS ROUTES AND CONDITIONS THAT DELAY EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR SAFE MOVEMENT. SECONDARY ACCESS ROADS ARE NOT JUST FOR FIRE TRUCKS. THEY EXIST TO REGULATE. RESIDENTS CAN SAFELY ENTER AND LEAVE THEIR HOMES IF A ROAD IS BLOCKED BY FLOODING, BRIDGE FAILURE, MAINTENANCE WORK OR AN EMERGENCY. SO I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW THERE'S TALKS OF PUTTING IN A LOCK BOX. WELL, RESIDENTS WON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT LOCK BOX. AND BY STATE CODES AND STUFF THAT I'VE BEEN READING AND RESEARCHING. AND GRANTED, I'M NOT AN EXPERT, BUT EVERY TENANT IN A MANUFACTURED HOME PARK, ACCORDING TO THESE FIRE CODES, ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TWO MAIN WAYS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS WITHOUT ANY BLOCKADE GATE OR ANYTHING ELSE. RIGHT NOW FOR BROOK GARDENS, THEY ONLY HAVE ONE AND THE SECOND ONE WOULD BE WHERE THE GATE IS FOR THE TENANTS IN THE BACK OF THE PARK, WHICH IS TWO THIRDS OF THE PARK, THEIRS WOULD BE THE BRIDGE AND THEN, YOU KNOW, GOING ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND THEN GOING OUT VICTORIA OR THE FRONT ENTRANCE. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE GATE. I DID NOTICE LOOKING AT GOOGLE MAPS, WHICH ISN'T VERY ACCURATE. IF THE TOWN WANTED TO BETTER WAY OF DOING THIS, THEY COULD ACTUALLY CONNECT WATERFALLS, VILLAGE AND BROOK GARDENS AND CREATE ANOTHER ACCESS THAT WOULDN'T GO ACROSS THE CREEK OR ANYTHING ELSE. I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT, BUT RIGHT NOW THAT GATE IS A HAZARD. IT IS A HAZARD. WE NEED IT REMOVED. NOW. GRANTED, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE SPEEDING, AND THEIR ORIGINAL AGREEMENT THAT PUT IT IN WAS BECAUSE KIDS ARE COMING IN AND DOING STUFF. PUT A CAMERA UP, SECURITY CAMERA. BEST THING TO GET RID OF THE TO WORRY ABOUT THE KIDS PUT A SECURITY CAMERA. WE DON'T NEED A GATE. THE GATE DOES NOTHING. THE KIDS GO AROUND IT, CLIMB OVER IT, GO UNDER IT, DO WHATEVER. IT'S NOT DOING ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR OBSTRUCTING ACCESS. THIRD, WE HAVE ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT FIRE SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES INVESTIGATION. DUAL METERING AND STREET LIGHT WIRING. 
          RESIDENTS ARE ARE. WE HAVE POLE LIGHTS IN FRONT OF EACH MOBILE HOME IN THE PARK, AND THEY'RE WIRED DIRECTLY INTO OUR HOMES. SOME ARE, WE BELIEVE, ARE WIRED INTO OUR METERS, NOT EVEN INTO THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. THERE'S NO SWITCH IN OUR HOME. OTHER PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY'RE WIRED INTO THEIR WIRING, IN THEIR BATHROOM OR THE FRONT ROOM. THAT'S A FIRE HAZARD. AND TWO, IT'S AGAINST THE LAW. IT'S CALLED DUAL METERING. IT'S PUSHING THE BURDEN OF ELECTRICITY BILLS ONTO THE TENANTS. THIS IS ILLEGAL. THIS IS CRIMINAL. THIS ISN'T CIVIL. 
          WE NEED AN INVESTIGATION. WE NEED THE TOWN'S HELP. I DID GIVE A HANDOUT SHOWING A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT THE TOWN CAN DO, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE CONSTANTLY SAYING, WHAT CAN WE DO? SO I'VE GIVEN YOU SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. I THINK THERE'S 15 OR SO POINTS ON THERE. IT SHOWS WHAT YOU CAN DO, WHAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO, WHO TO CONTACT, ALL THAT STUFF. AND THE LAW IS INVOLVED. 
          CURRENTLY, THE LAW IS ABOUT THIS. DUAL METERING IS NEW YORK STATE UNIFORM FIRE PREVENTION AND BUILDING CODE, NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTIAL CODE, NFPA 70, NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ARTICLE 225 AND ARTICLE 230. PUBLIC SERVICE LAW 65 AND POTENTIALLY NEW YORK PENAL LAW 165.15 UNLAWFUL UTILITY DIVERSION, IMPROPER SHARED WIRING BETWEEN HOMES AND COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE IS A DOCUMENTED SAFETY HAZARD AND MAY CONSTITUTE ILLEGAL UTILITY COST SHIFTING. WE HAVE A THREE MINUTE RULE I'M TRYING TO RUN THROUGH AS FAST AS I UNDERSTAND, BUT THERE ARE OTHER. CAN I GIVE YOU A COPY OF MY SPEECH? I HAVE A COPY. NO. THE SPEECH. THAT'S THE THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF WHAT YOU GUYS CAN DO. THAT WAY YOU CAN READ IT IF YOU WANT. THAT'D BE TERRIFIC. THANKS, DIANE. BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN BE LONG WINDED. THANKS. THANK YOU. 
          APPRECIATE IT. SURE. AND AGAIN, THE INVITATION IS STILL THERE FOR ALL OF YOU TO COME OUT. AND WE WANT TO GIVE THE TOWN THE CERTIFICATE. MY COUSIN USED TO LIVE THERE, SO I'M PRETTY WELL TO SEE THE CONDITIONS AND GET THE CERTIFICATE. WE WANT YOU TO COME OUT. SO. THANKS, DIANA. 
          APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANKS. DAVID. SKOWRONSKI. YEAH. OKAY. IT'S A NAVY VETERANS IN 
          [00:55:16]
HERE TODAY. HE SAID ALL KINDS OF NAVY VETERANS IN HERE TODAY. YES, YES. THIS IS THE BEST SERVICE. THAT'S WHY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU. THAT WAS AN ELECTRICIAN'S MATE. WE GOT A PROBLEM HERE ON. I LIVE ON 3677 FIFTH STREET. AND PEOPLE BEHIND ME AT 36, 786 STREET. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NOISE. THEY WILL PLAY THEIR STEREO AT THE STUPIDEST LEVEL, STARTING AT 10:00 IN THE MORNING UNTIL 9:00 AT NIGHT. I CALLED THE POLICE. 
          THE POLICE SAY, WELL, WE CAN ONLY TELL THEM TO TURN IT DOWN. I SAID, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST TURN A BLIND EYE AND WE CAN GO BACK TO 1970 AND I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF. BUT HE WOULDN'T DO IT. NOW. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON ALL LAST SUMMER. HE DID IT. HE'S STARTING AGAIN THIS SUMMER. I CALLED THE BUILDING INSPECTOR BECAUSE HE'S BUILDING STUFF ON HIS PROPERTY. 
          DOES HE HAVE A PERMIT FOR THAT? HE HAS A PERMIT FOR A SHED. HE DIDN'T BUILD THE SHED. HE BUILT AN OVERSIZE BIRDHOUSE BECAUSE HE HAS DOVES AND. AND WHAT? PIGEONS? AND A BUNCH OF PARAKEETS. NOW WHAT HAPPENS? I GOT MOTORCYCLES, I GOT CLASSIC CARS IN MY GARAGE. I GOT RATS IN MY GARAGE. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE BIRD SEED FROM THIS GUY, THE MUSIC IS WHAT DROVE ME NUTS. 
          TODAY, THE LADY NEXT DOOR IS TRYING TO READ A BOOK. SHE HAS EARPLUGS IN HER EARS AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SHE GOES, ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL MUSIC? BECAUSE WE GOTTA LISTEN TO MOTHER FREAKING THIS AND MOTHER FREAKING THAT, THIS THAT. WE DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO THAT CRAP. AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE LAST SUMMER. I CALLED THE POLICE FOUR TIMES. THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT ALL. IT'S A NOISE ORDINANCE. THEY. THEY COULD DO IT UNTIL 11:00 AT NIGHT. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WE CAN'T LIVE. I CAN'T I CAN'T COME HOME FROM FROM WORK AND SIT ON MY BACK PORCH AND JUST RELAX WITHOUT THIS FREAKING MUSIC. THE GUY ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME NOW, THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME, SAID DAVE. WHO'S PLAYING THAT MUSIC? I SAID, THAT PUNK OVER THERE, AND HE WON'T TURN IT DOWN, AND THE POLICE AIN'T DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU PEOPLE COULD DO ABOUT IT, BUT I KNOW IF IT WAS ANY ONE OF YOUR PROPERTIES, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN NIPPED IN THE BUD. I MEAN, YOU HANDLED IT LIKE YOU WANTED TO. I WANT TO HANDLE IT BECAUSE I GO OVER THERE AND BREAK THAT. YOU KNOW, IF HE HAS EARPLUGS IN, NOBODY WANTS TO LISTEN TO THAT. AND HE HAS IT AT SUCH A HIGH DECIBEL, IF THE PEOPLE ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME COULD HEAR IT, IT'S A PROBLEM. YEAH. OKAY. CAN I ASK? WELL, WE'LL GET TO THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS. WHY DON'T WE DO IT THEN? THANK YOU. WE'LL ASK SOME OF OUR DEPARTMENTS TO COMMENT WHEN WE GET TO THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS. THANK YOU. BUT YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I CAN'T. WHAT WAS THE ADDRESS BEHIND YOU AGAIN? 3678 SIXTH STREET. 6783678. THE KID THEY JUST BOUGHT THIS HOUSE TWO YEARS AGO. IS THIS IN WOODLAWN? YEAH. WOODLAWN, RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. SO RIGHT, RIGHT THERE BY THE FORD PLANT. YOU KNOW WHERE. YEAH, YEAH. THEY JUST BOUGHT THIS HOUSE TWO YEARS AGO, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS KID THINKS HE COULD BUILD WHATEVER HE WANTS. HE HE COULD DO WHATEVER. HE COULD LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AS LOUD AS HE CAN. 
          AND THEN HE PLAYS THAT OTHER MUSIC TO THAT TECHNO MUSIC WHERE IT'S LIKE, WHERE IT'S LIKE ONE BEAT FOR LIKE FIVE HOURS. AND LET ME TELL YOU, IF THEY USE THAT IN PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE, PSYCH OPS, WELL, I GOT PTSD, SO IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS. I IMAGINE IT WOULD BE. YEAH. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS KID. YEAH, I'M READY TO GO OVER THERE AND DESTROY HIS STUFF. I WOULDN'T DO THAT. BUT WE'LL TALK TO OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT, OUR POLICE. WE'LL ASK THEM TO COMMENT WHEN THEY COME UP FOR THEIR DEPARTMENT REPORTS TO ADDRESS THE PUBLIC COMMENT. WELL, HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TONIGHT? OKAY, IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. ALL THE REPORTS AND THEY'LL ADDRESS. I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING. THANK YOU FOR COMING. WHO'S NEXT? JIM BOGUSLAVSKY. MY NAME IS JIM BOGUSLAVSKY, AND 
          [01:00:01]
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE. YEAH. THE TOWN. YEAH. WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT HERE? BERKELEY SQUARE. I GOT THIS LETTER AND IT SAYS THE TOWN IS IMPLEMENTING A NEW GARBAGE REFUGE CHARGE ADDED DIRECTLY TO OUR PROPERTY TAXES. A PORTION OF OUR MONTHLY ASSESSMENT FEE ALREADY INCLUDES PAYMENT ON OUR DUMPSTER TRASH PICKUP CONTRACTED WITH MODERN DISPOSAL DISPOSAL SERVICES. AND NOW WE ARE BEING CHARGED FOR REFUGE SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES. AND NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE SPACE OF TWO TOTES PER EACH UNIT. SO EACH BUILDING IS GOING TO HAVE EIGHT TOTES. WE CAN'T ACCOMMODATE THAT. WE DON'T HAVE THE GARAGES, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TOTES ON OUR FRONT, IN THE FRONT OF OUR BUILDING OR ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. AND BY THE TIME THEY GET DONE WITH ALL THESE TOTES, THIS PLACE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE MARINE DRIVE APARTMENTS. IN A APPARENTLY, WE TRY TO CONTACT THE TOWN OF HAMBURG AND THE MODERN DISPOSAL SERVICES BY PHONE AND NO. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REACH A RESOLUTION. THERE. THEREFORE, THEY DECIDED TO ADDRESS THIS FORMALLY AND PUBLICLY BY BRINGING THIS UP TO THE TOWN BOARD MEETING. BUT I DON'T SEE ANYBODY HERE. AND WE HAVE A. 
          THEY SENT A LETTER OUT A NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE TO. FOR THE ADDITIONAL REFUGE TAX AND THE TOWN BASED GARBAGE PROGRAM. OKAY. THIS ACTION IS BEING TAKEN DUE TO THE LACK OF NOTICE GIVEN TO HOMEOWNERS AND THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT THIS PROGRAM HAS ON OUR COMMUNITY. AND I DON'T SEE WHY WE HAVE TO PAY TWICE FOR REFUGE. I MEAN, THIS MISSION IMPOSSIBLE WITH OUR PATIO HOMES, ARE THEY GOING TO BE CHARGED IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CHARGED? IF YOU WANT ME TO. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT. THE WAY THE CONTRACT WAS DRAWN UP, WE SEE WHAT THE TOWN DID WAS THEY MADE A THEY MADE A WENT OUT, NEGOTIATED A DEAL ON BEHALF OF THE TAXPAYERS. SO IT WAS PER UNIT UP TO FOUR UNITS. NOW WE EXCLUDED SOME OF THE THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES, THE CONDOS AND THOSE THINGS. SO IF IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, THEN THEN YOU WOULD YOU WOULD PAY $240 FOR THE YEAR. THEY PRORATED IT. SO IT WASN'T IT WASN'T AS MUCH THIS YEAR. AND THEN NEXT YEAR IT'LL BE THING WE ARE WORKING WITH MODERN NOW TO TRY TO FOR THOSE APARTMENTS IN AREAS THAT HAVE THE TOTE OR THE DUMPSTERS TO TRY TO MAKE A DEAL WHERE THE MONEY THAT THE $240 PER UNIT GOES TOWARD THE DUMPSTER. AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THAT YET OR NOT. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO. WELL, THEN THEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A MEETING ON THIS. THEN. THEREFORE, THE ASSOCIATION WILL NOT CHARGE US EXTRA FOR REFUGE THAT. WELL, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NEGOTIATED WITH THE THE HOA. YEAH, BUT THE HOAS ARE SUPPOSED TO YOU KNOW, YOU PAY YOUR HOA, THEY CHARGE YOU FOR $500 FOR YOUR GARBAGE. YEAH. 
          NOW THAT THE DEAL IS MADE WITH WITH MODERN FOR $240, THEY SHOULD CUT YOUR FEE. AND EVERYBODY THAT'S IN THAT HOA SHOULD BE UP THERE SAYING, I WANT MY EXTRA MONEY BACK. WELL, ACCORDING TO THIS LETTER THAT I GOT THAT THE THE HOA, ALTHOUGH THE TOWN IS NOT COOPERATING WITH THE HOA IS WHAT THEY'RE TELLING ME HERE. I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, BUT THIS IS MY CONCERN. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE PAYING TWICE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE TAXES WE PAY HERE. YES. SO WE DO HAVE A FOLLOW UP MEETING WITH MODERN ON MAY 6TH, I BELIEVE. AND THERE WERE A FEW, YOU KNOW, DETAILS THAT ARE STILL BEING WORKED OUT. AGAIN, THE TOWN THIS LARGE WHEN WE UNVEILED AND I'M UNDERSTANDING, I'M SORRY, WHEN THE ACOUSTICS HERE IS KIND OF BAD. OKAY, LET ME LET ME START AGAIN. SO WE HAVE A MEETING WITH MODERN ON MAY 6TH, AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FINE POINTS THAT WE ARE STILL WORKING OUT. SO AND I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE ONE OF THEM. WHEN THAT IS RESOLVED, THEN THEY WILL BE IN CONTACT TO LET YOU KNOW HOW IT'S RESOLVED. 
          OKAY, NOW I WANT TO GO BACK. YOU MADE A POINT ABOUT A SINGLE HOMES. WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE 
          [01:05:06]
THE TOTES. WHAT WE CONTRACTED WAS WHAT PER UNIT. SO IF THERE'S A ONE FAMILY HOUSE, IT'S $240 FOR THE YEAR. OKAY. IF THERE'S A IF YOU HAVE A DOUBLE OR DUPLEX, IT'S 240 TIMES TWO FOR 80 AND THEN SO ON WITH THREE UNITS OR FOUR UNITS. AND THEN AFTER THAT, THEY'RE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN REFUGE. OKAY. SO SO WE CAME UP WITH THE PRICE OF $240 PER HOUSEHOLD, YOU KNOW, FOR SINGLE HOME, THEY ARE DUE TO INCREASE IN GAS PRICES, ALLOWED TO RAISE IT WITHIN A YEAR AFTER A YEAR, BUT IT'S CAPPED AT 3%. SO IT WOULD ONLY COME OUT TO LIKE $8 PER, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD RAISE IT. WE HAVE A CONTRACT FOR THREE YEARS. WE'RE ALLOWED TO GO ANOTHER THREE YEARS WITHOUT BIDDING IT OUT AGAIN AND THEN ANOTHER THREE YEARS. SO IF EVERYBODY'S HAPPY WITH THIS, IT COULD BE UP TO NINE YEARS THAT WE HAVE THIS $240 GARBAGE SERVICE PLUS WHAT, LIKE I SAID, THREE, 3% INCREASE OVER THE YEAR. NOW, WHAT BAFFLES ME, YOU KEEP REFERRING TO A SINGLE HOME. NOW, THESE ARE CONDOS. NO, WE UNDERSTAND IF YOU HAVE A CONDO, THOSE CONDOS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE EXCLUDED, AM I CORRECT? YEAH, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BERKELEY SQUARE. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE CONSIDERED CONDOS OR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OR IF THEY'RE APARTMENTS, TOWNHOMES, TOWNHOMES, IF IT'S PURCHASED. 
          AND IT WAS LISTED AS A CONDO. MY UNDERSTANDING, I AGREE WITH MR. WITH MR. KOSA, MY UNDERSTANDING WHEN WE PASSED THE GARBAGE WAS THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO EXCLUDE THOSE UNITS. 
          SO, SO WHAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO, AND I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION. 
          AND I KNOW OUR SUPERVISOR, I KNOW MR. KOZUB. THEY HAVE A MEETING WITH MODERN. SO GIVE US A CHANCE TO TRY TO FIX IT. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A BRAND NEW ROLLOUT. ROLLOUT, RIGHT? AND FOR AND WE DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO GO PERFECTLY. I MEAN, NOTHING DOES GO PERFECTLY. SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIX IT. AND I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW IT'S A ONE DAY THAT HE'S NOT HERE GARBAGE BOB. BUT IF IF MR. MAHONEY WAS HERE I'M SURE HE'S ON IT. I KNOW MR. COSBY'S ON IT. I KNOW ELIZABETH FARRELL. OUR SUPERVISOR IS ON IT. SO WHY DON'T YOU COME BACK IN THE NEXT MEETING, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME ANSWERS FOR YOU? I APPRECIATE IT, WE'RE GOING TO WORK FOR YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANKS. YOU GOT YOUR NAME AND PHONE NUMBER ON THAT. OKAY. TERRIFIC. HERE. I'M GOING TO WRITE IT DOWN HERE. I GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT HERE. THEY GAVE ME IT HERE. CAN SHE KEEP THAT? I'M GOING TO MAKE TYPEKIT. 
          THANK YOU. MIND IF I MAKE COPIES? I DON'T MIND PAPERWORK BEFORE YOU LEAVE. WELL, YOU WANT ALL THIS? YEAH, I'M GOING TO BORROW IT. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. AND MAKE SURE WE GET YOUR NUMBER TWO, OKAY? THANK YOU. JIM. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANKS A LOT. THANK YOU. WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU. TWO, TWO. ANYONE ELSE? NATALIE, DO YOU WANT TO. ONE LAST. SURE. GOOD EVENING. HI. HOW ARE YOU? NERVOUS. MY NAME IS MELVIN BLESSING. I LIVE IN BROOK GARDEN SUBDIVISION, AND I JUST WANT TO BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD. I WAS HERE EARLIER TODAY. IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAIN ROAD COMING IN AND OUT OF THE PARK. THE CULVERT THAT GOES UNDERNEATH THE ROAD IS DETERIORATED, I BELIEVE SEVERELY. I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEO FROM THE LAST TWO STORMS THAT WE'VE HAD, AND I CAME IN AND TALKED TO THE BUILDING INSPECTOR TODAY AND WITH THE ENGINEER, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY'RE ADDRESSING IT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET THE BOARD KNOW WHAT THE SITUATION IS AND TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THERE'S OTHER ISSUES WITH THE PARK, BUT THIS TO ME IS THE UTMOST. THANK YOU. AND I KNOW THAT BOTH OF THE INDIVIDUALS YOU MENTIONED ARE TOWN ENGINEER AND OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT, OUR SUPERVISING CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER ARE BOTH HERE, SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO COMMENT IF IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES WHEN THEY GIVE THEIR DEPARTMENT REPORT, I'M SURE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THAT ALSO. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NICE JOB TO THANK YOU FOR COMING. NO REASON TO BE NERVOUS. ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? 
          [Additional Item 2]
FRANCINE. OKAY, SO THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR DEPARTMENT REPORTS AND WE'LL TRY TO GET 
          [01:10:03]
SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED FOR OUR PUBLIC TOWN CLERK. NOTHING TONIGHT. OKAY. 
          I'M GOING TO GO IN REVERSE ORDER THIS TIME. CHANGE IT UP A LITTLE BIT. SO WE'LL COME OVER HERE. WE'LL GO TO LEGAL. NO REPORT, NO REPORT. LET'S SEE. I'M GOING TO GO RIGHT THROUGH CHIEF. I TOOK OVER FOR MUCH. I MEAN WE'RE GOING TO GET TO HIM. THAT'S NO LONGER CHECK FOR SAFETY. YEAH, IT MUST BE ON VACATION. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. REGARDING MR. SKOWRONSKI'S COMPLAINT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS. 3678 IS THE PLACE WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM, CORRECT? 3678663. MAKE SURE YOU SEND THE SWAT TEAM OVER THERE. RIGHT. SO THAT'S A JOKE. WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO DO, MR. SKOWRONSKI, IS IF YOU COULD CALL ME TOMORROW IN THE MORNING, 9:10 A.M. MY EXTENSION IS 2601. WELL, YOU WANT TO. HEAR? I'LL GET YOUR CARD. ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME A CALL. IT DOESN'T WORK TO GET OUT OF JAIL FREE. I TRIED, SO JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE WHAT WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I. IT'LL GIVE ME SOME TIME TO LOOK AT WHAT WHAT THOSE CALLS WERE BEFORE THE FOUR TIMES YOU SAID THE POLICE WERE OUT THERE BECAUSE IN IN THE NOISE ORDINANCE CODE, THERE'S TWO PROVISIONS. ONE IS YES, NO NOISE BETWEEN 11 P.M. 
          AND 7 A.M. HOWEVER, IN THE TIMES THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE 11 TO THE SEVEN, IF THE NOISE IS EXCESSIVE OR BEYOND REASONABLE, THEN THERE CAN BE SOMETHING THAT THAT CAN BE DONE. 
          NOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S SUBJECTIVE, BUT LET ME LOOK INTO WHAT HAPPENED THERE THE LAST TIME. CALL ME TOMORROW AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE. THAT WAS THAT WAS LAST YEAR. HE'S STARTING UP AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH THAT, IT'S LIKE PUT EARBUDS IN YOUR EAR IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THAT CRAP. RIGHT? SO IF IT IS EXCESSIVE, THEN ABSOLUTELY WE CAN WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I SHOULD'VE ASKED YOU EARLIER. IS IT ALL IT'S ALL OUTSIDE OR IS IT ALL OUTSIDE? HE WENT TO LIKE HOME DEPOT AND BOUGHT ONE OF THEM. SPEAKER, SPEAKER OKAY. AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T EVEN SIT OUTSIDE WITH THAT. SO IT'S ONCE THE WEATHER BREAKS, HE'S OUT THERE. YOU CAN'T. SO WE'LL TAKE JUST GIVE ME A CALL TOMORROW. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. 
          DAVE, YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS NOW. THANKS, CHIEF. AND I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANKS, CHIEF. THAT'S ALL YOU GOT? THE MOST IMPORTANT. THAT'S GREAT, MR. CROTTY. I HAVE TWO THINGS. OUR EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION CHANGE IS GOING TO BE STARTING THIS FRIDAY, MAY 1ST. SO WE'RE GOING FROM CODE RED PLATFORM TO THE CIVIC READY, WHICH MIRRORS OUR WEB SITE. AND IT'S A SEAMLESS YOU KNOW, THE SUPERVISOR TALKS ABOUT THAT UNIFIED MESSAGE AND ALL ACROSS ALL OF OUR PLATFORMS, BETWEEN THE WEBSITE AND MESSAGING, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT UNIFIED MESSAGING TO INFORM OUR RESIDENTS. SO THAT PLATFORM IS GOING TO CHANGE OVER. WE'RE GOING TO RUN CONCURRENTLY WITH OUR CURRENT ONE, CODE RED, AND THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE CAPTURE IF PEOPLE DON'T GET LOGGED IN, BUT THE TOWN WEBSITE, THE TOWN FACEBOOK PAGE, EMERGENCY SERVICES, FACEBOOK PAGE, THE POLICE, ALL OF OUR PLATFORMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WILL BE UPDATED. TERRIFIC. SO THE EMPLOYEES GETTING THE CODE WAS CODE RED. NOW WE'RE. YEAH. THAT WAS THAT'S A SEPARATE, SEPARATE PHASE. PHASE TWO SEPARATE PHASE. 
          RIGHT. SO THAT'S IN PROGRESS. AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WORKED WITH IT, THE IT DIRECTOR, JENNY ROBERTSON TO GET THE WEBSITE UPDATED. IT WAS BROUGHT UP IN OUR NEGOTIATIONS AND STUFF. SO. OH, OKAY. YEAH. SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN COMMUNICATING, YOU KNOW, BETTER WITH GETTING THAT SAME MESSAGE OUT THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE GETTING TO OUR EMPLOYEES AS WELL. RIGHT? YEAH. THE SECOND THING I HAVE IS THIS MONTH IN MAY, WE'RE STARTING THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY HOST TO FOR THE WORKERS. BUT THE PROJECT I'VE BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THE SOLDIER'S JOURNEY HOME, IT'S A NATIONWIDE ORGANIZATION THAT'S BUILDING A HOME FOR DISABLED VETERAN IN WESTERN NEW YORK. THEY BUILD ONE HOME EVERY YEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 13 YEARS. AND THIS YEAR THEY SELECTED A GENTLEMAN, NATHAN KOWALSKI, FROM WEST FALLS, A LOCAL YOUNG MAN, HIM AND HIS WIFE VERONICA. AND IT'S ON FALLS ROAD IN WEST FALLS. SO ALL OF THE WORKERS THAT COME IN FROM OUT OF TOWN, THE HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS, ARE GOING TO BE HOUSED IN HAMBURG. THAT'S WE'RE GOING TO BE THEIR HOME BASE. SO NICE. WE'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN IT SINCE LAST SUMMER BEING THE LOCAL LIAISON. AND IT'S REALLY A GREAT PROJECT. 
          [01:15:02]
AND I'M PROUD THAT THIS COMMUNITY IS SUPPORTING IT. AND WHEN I AGREED TO BEING THE LOCAL LIAISON, I SAID, I JUST WANT TO WARN YOU THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR BEST BUILD THAT YOU WILL HAVE. AND THEY'VE THEY'VE UNDERSTOOD THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY IS NICE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING LIKE WESTERN NEW YORKERS. AND THEY'RE LEARNING THAT VERY, VERY QUICKLY. SO SO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE SUPERVISOR AND DOING A LOT OF THINGS TO, YOU KNOW, INVOLVE AND ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. BUT THEY WILL HAVE SOME EVENTS AROUND TOWN AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GET SOMETHING MAYBE A NIGHT OR SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, TOWN WORKERS CAN VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME. WE, WE ENGAGE SOME OF THE POLICE OFFICERS AND DISPATCHERS TO WORK WITH THEIR VOLUNTEERS AS WELL. BEING THAT WE HAVE THE LENS PROGRAM FOR LICENSING. SO LIKE A FLIER EMAIL ON IT OR ANYTHING THAT I COULD BRING TO THE VETERANS COMMITTEE. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT ACTUALLY, WHEN I LEAVE, ACTUALLY THE KEY CEREMONY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC EVENT, IS MAY 30TH, SATURDAY MORNING. SO THEY COME INTO TOWN MAY 12TH, THEY START TO ARRIVE, THEY DO SOME FORWARD ADVANCED WORK, AND THEN THEY START TO BUILD ON MAY 18TH AND THEY'RE DONE ON MAY 30TH. SO MAY 30TH, 11 A.M. IS THE KEY CEREMONY WHERE WE TURN THE KEY OVER TO THE VETERAN, AND HE GETS IN MORTGAGE FREE HOME. SO IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITING. AND ONE OF OUR LOCAL YOU PAY TAXES THOUGH. WELL, THAT'S ONE OF THE GUARANTEES, RIGHT? HOLD ON. I'LL TELL HIM OUT BECAUSE WE'RE. YEAH. AS THE ASSESSOR KNOWS, IT'S ALL GOOD. THE 100% DISABLED VETERANS BILL IS IN. BUT NOW THE GOVERNOR TIED IT IN WITH THE BUDGET. SO THEY'RE HOLDING OFF AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT UNTIL THE BUDGET'S PASSED. AND WHO ACTUALLY. BECAUSE THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN AND THE WAY THEY TALKED ABOUT IT AND THE WAY PEOPLE INTERPRETED IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE BUDGET, I GUESS. WHO IS THAT? PELOSI. YOU GOT A OPEN IT UP BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN IT OR VOTE ON IT. SO THE KEY CEREMONY MAY 30TH. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY EXCITING DRY CREEK MARKETING, WHO'S BRIAN WHITMAN IS A HAMBURG RESIDENT. HE'S WORKING ON THAT PROJECT WITH ME. SO HE'S RUNNING THAT PRODUCTION AND IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING TERRIFIC. VFW AND AMERICAN LEGION. YEAH FOR SURE. YEAH, WE'VE ENGAGED THEM. YEAH. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, MORE CONVERSATIONS AND BRIAN AND OUR MEETING TOMORROW TO DISCUSS OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE VETERAN GROUPS IN THE COUNTY. 
          SO THAT'S TERRIFIC. THANKS, SEAN. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANKS, JEFF. GOOD EVENING. I'LL LEAVE IT TO ME. SO THE BROOK GARDENS, WE DID RECEIVE A COMPLAINT TODAY FOR BROOK GARDENS AND THE CULVERT. OUR INSPECTOR WENT OUT THERE THIS AFTERNOON. HE AGREES WITH WHAT HE SAW. WE ARE REQUESTING THAT A AN ENGINEERING COMPANY COME OUT AND EVALUATE THE BRIDGE TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH IT. WE HAD THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE WITH EAGLE CREST WITH THEIR BRIDGE. WE ARE NOT BRIDGE PEOPLE, SO WE WE DEFINITELY USE THAT ENGINEERING COMPANY. IN A LETTER TO WHETHER OR NOT IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED NOW TEMPORARILY TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW FOR THE TRAFFIC TO GO OVER IT, OR WHETHER THE WAY THAT IT SITS AS IF IT'S OKAY. 
          AND THEN WHAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE FOR A FINAL REPAIR IS THAT AT THE END, NEVER ASKED THE GENTLEMAN, IS THAT AT THE ENTRANCE OR IS THAT SO? THAT WOULD BE RIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE. 
          AND NOW WOULD THAT BE MAYBE THE STATE BECAUSE IT'S ON. NO, THIS WOULD STILL BE PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHIN THE PARK. YEAH. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE QUITE A WAYS IN BEFORE YOU GET TO THAT, THAT BRIDGE. 
          BUT IT'S BEFORE ALL OF THE MOBILE HOMES. IT'S KIND OF BY THEIR MALE BUILDING. OKAY. AS FOR THE SO YOU'LL STAY IN CONTACT THEM WITH MELVIN AS YOU GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. 
          WE WILL STAY IN CONTACT. YES. YEP. AND, AND LIKE I SAID, I MEAN, THAT'S A VIOLATION WAS WRITTEN TODAY THAT'LL BE MAILED TO THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE. PLUS HE WILL GO TOMORROW TO THE LOCAL MANAGEMENT COMPANY THERE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT START LOOKING, START TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. TERRIFIC. AS FOR FIFTH STREET AND SIXTH STREET, THERE IS A PERMIT FOR A SHED. THE INSPECTOR WAS OUT THERE, I BELIEVE IT WAS TODAY, HE TOLD ME, AND THAT THE SHED IS STILL BEING BUILT. LOOKED FOR CLEANLINESS OF THE AREA. DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. BUT I MEAN LET US KNOW. I'M NOT SURE HE DID. KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR. YEAH, OKAY. AND I MEAN, HE DID TRY CALLING YOU, I BELIEVE TOO. SO I MEAN, HE HE DIDN'T CALL HIM. 
          I CALLED, I CALLED HERE, OKAY. LOOKING FOR THAT PERSON. HE PUT UP ANOTHER SHED WITHOUT A 
          [01:20:07]
PERMIT. OKAY, WE'LL WE'LL TAKE A LOOK INTO THAT TOO. AND THAT SHED IS ONLY. HOW FAR IS IT'S WORTH FROM MY PROPERTY? THREE FEET. THREE FOOT TO THE REAR, THREE FOOT TO THE SIDE, ONE FOOT FROM MY PROPERTY. OKAY. WE WILL GLADLY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. OKAY. IT'S NOT. THAT'S A GLORIFIED BIRDHOUSE. OKAY, OKAY. HE HAS ALL THAT BIRDS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE GETTING A RATS. 
          BECAUSE THE THE FEED FROM THE BIRDS. RATS ARE COMING. OKAY. HAVE YOU CONTACTED ERIE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON RATS YET? OKAY, WE CAN GET YOU THAT. NUMBER TWO, THEY ARE GOOD RESOURCE FOR THE RATS. YEAH. TO GO OUT AND THAT TOO. BUT I MEAN, WE WILL ALSO WILL COME OUT AND THEY'LL BE WILL BE ERIE COUNTY, YOU KNOW, AND IF THEY FIND ISSUES THEY THEY HAVE A POSSIBILITY. I MEAN, THEY'LL, THEY'LL WRITE LETTERS. THEY CAN, I BELIEVE FINE. I KNOW BIRD FEEDERS WERE ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN THE RATS WERE REALLY SPIKING IN NUMBER. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, I MEAN, WE WERE LOOKING FOR BIRD FEEDERS TO KIND OF HELP THEM OUT, BUT THEY WERE THE ONES THAT WERE MORE OF THE ENFORCEMENT FOR THOSE BIRD FEEDERS. IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S HOUSING ANIMALS, THOUGH. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ON LIKE ANY CODE, LIKE ANIMAL FACE OF IT? PIGEON. COOPER YEAH, WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK INTO THAT. WE HAVE A DOMESTIC FOLLOW CODE, BUT LIKE IF YOU HAVE BIRDS AS PETS, I DON'T REALLY WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A PARROT PARAKEET TYPE OF A DEAL EXCESSIVE, LIKE WITH ANYTHING LIKE THAT, IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S JUST COLLECTING IT FOR BIRDS. I HEARD THAT HE, THEY, THEY HEAL THEM AND THEN THEY DONATE THEM FOR VETERANS IS WHAT HIS LIKE HOBBY IS. GOTCHA. SO I'M SURE YOU'LL CHECK ALL OF THAT OUT AGAINST OUR CODES THAT ARE ON THE BOOKS AND THEN ADDRESS THAT. 
          TERRIFIC. AND THEN I JUST HAVE A COUPLE THINGS TO REPORT. SO I JUST HAVE SOME NUMBERS FOR OUR FIRST QUARTER. I KNOW WE'RE GETTING A MONTH PAST THAT, BUT FIRST QUARTER THIS YEAR, WE DID 390 PERMITS. WE TOOK IN $148,530 IN FEES FOR THOSE PERMITS, PRETTY MUCH ON PAR FOR WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR. WE WROTE 73 VIOLATIONS THROUGHOUT THE FIRST QUARTER AND HAVE HAD A COUPLE COURT NOTICES GO FROM THOSE AND THEN FIRE INSPECTIONS. WE WERE ON 140 COMPLETED FOR THE FIRST QUARTER, WHICH IS GOOD TO BE ON TARGET. WE THIS YEAR ARE GOING TO START ISSUING PERMITS FOR TEMPORARY POOLS. I PUT THAT ON OUR WEBSITE, AND I'M ALSO GOING TO HAVE THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE PUT THAT ON TO THE FACEBOOK PAGE. IT IS REQUIRED BY NEW YORK STATE. AND THIS IS GOING TO KIND OF BE THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE'VE DONE THAT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A FENCING. 
          FENCING AROUND. IT HAS TO HAVE A BARRIER, HAS TO BE PROPERLY WIRED. HOW COULD THEY DO THAT FOR CONSTRUCTION WORK? WHEN SOMEBODY BUILDS A BASEMENT AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST SITTING THERE, CAN THEY PUT A SO THAT YOU PUT A FENCE AROUND THAT SO NOBODY FALLS IN THAT. 
          SO WITH THAT, OUR STATE CODE REQUIRES IT FOR POOLS. IT DOESN'T REQUIRE IT FOR TEMPORARY HOLES FOR NEW BUILDS. BUT WHAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT WITH CODE REVIEW, WE STARTED CONVERSATION ABOUT DEVELOPING SOME CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND TO HAVE GUIDELINES BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THOSE IN GENERAL, AND WE'D LIKE TO PUT SOME IN PLACE. CORRECT. AND THEN THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE, THE LAST THING THAT I HAVE IS WE DO HAVE A RETIREMENT COMING OUT OF OUR DEPARTMENT. STEVE DUSA, HE SPENT HIS LAST FIVE YEARS OF HIS CAREER WITH THE TOWN OF HAMBURG AS A CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, AND HE WILL BE RETIRING ON THIS FRIDAY WILL BE HIS LAST OFFICIAL DAY. SO IS THE LIST STILL OUT? IS GOOD, OR DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A NEW. 
          IT'S POSTED. OKAY. AND IT'S BEEN PULLED. SO. BUT YOU KNOW, WE JUST WANT TO THANK STEVE AND THAT TOO. HE DID. HE DID GOOD. SO HE'S EARNED HIS RETIREMENT. THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE. JEFF WOULD YOU MIND THREE MINUTES ARE UP ANYWAY. SO WOULD YOU MIND IS THERE ANY UPDATE FOR DIANA PATTON? I KNOW YOU WERE WORKING ON SOME OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WERE COVERED PREVIOUSLY AND THAT WERE BROUGHT UP TONIGHT. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO COMMENT THERE? SO SOME OF THE THINGS I MEAN, WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO FROM THE APRIL 7TH NOTES, I WOULD STILL LIKE TO LOOK A LITTLE MORE INTO THAT. WE STILL ARE TRYING TO DO OUR RESEARCH, SEEING THAT IT WAS BUILT AND AND APPROVED 1987, WHICH BASICALLY IS BEFORE WHAT OUR CURRENT ZONING CODE IS, OR OUR CURRENT CODE IS FOR THE MOBILE HOME PARK. SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED NOW WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REQUIRED PREVIOUSLY AND ARE NOT RETROACTIVE. IT'S KIND OF GRANDFATHERED IN PREEXISTING NON-CONFORMING ON CERTAIN ITEMS. 
          [01:25:02]
SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THAT'S KIND OF MY BEST ANSWER. COUNTY CODES. ALSO, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT COUNTY CODES. I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY OR STATE CODES THAT THEY. BUT I THINK YOU WERE GOING THROUGH POINT BY POINT. YOU WERE DOING A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW, WHICH I WOULD THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET OUT TO THEM IN THE NEAR FUTURE. YES. YEP. I WILL GET SOMETHING OUT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. TIM. ASSESSING KIM. MR. HUGHES HIGHWAY AND B AND G. YOU KNOW, I ASKED HIM. GOOD EVENING. I WILL START WITH THE HIGHWAY FIRST. WE'RE IN ZONE FOUR FOR BRUSH. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BACK. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE BACK PARKING LOT, GETTING IT ALL READY FOR THE PAVING PROJECT COMING UP. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE DONE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. ALSO, WE WERE ALSO WE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS STORMWATER ISSUES ALL OVER THE TOWN OF SINKHOLES. IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT DEALING WITH THEM AND ALSO. WE'RE PUTTING THE LIST FOR THE PAVING FOR ALL THE STREETS. WE'RE FINALIZING A COUPLE THINGS. ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ONE OF OUR BIGGER MILLING COMPANIES WENT UNDER. SO I HAD TO GO OUT AND TRY TO FIND A DIFFERENT ONE. SO IT'S BEEN A LITTLE DIFFICULT, BUT WE SHOULD BE READY FOR BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS. MAY 1ST. THE GOLF COURSE IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN, WEATHER PERMITTING. OF COURSE, I WAS JUST OUT THERE TODAY, SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THE BEACH HAS BEEN DREDGED, SO WE WE GOT ALL THAT DONE SO THAT THAT WENT ON REALLY GOOD ON, ON OUR SCHEDULE. AND THE BEACH CLEANUP IS ACTUALLY WENT VERY WELL. AND WITH THAT BEING SAID THAT THE DOCKS WILL GO IN BY FRIDAY. SO SATURDAY IS WALLEYE SEASON STARTS, SO WE WON'T GET THEM GUYS MAD AT US. AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. ONE QUICK QUESTION. I KNOW OUR ELECTRONICS PICK UP OR THEY'RE ABLE TO TO DROP IT OFF TO YOUR DEPARTMENT IS VERY POPULAR. WHEN IS THE NEXT ELECTRONICS DAY? MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS FROM 730 TO 2. WE'RE GOING TO PLAN ONE PROBABLY IN THE FALL TO DO A SATURDAY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING SATURDAY, SATURDAY. BUT YEAH, WE WE. AND ON AN AVERAGE, ON AN AVERAGE WEEK, EVERY TWO WEEKS, SUN KING COMES AND THEY TAKE 12 PALLETS OF TVS AND ELECTRONICS AWAY. SO IT'S PRETTY BIG. THIS IS A SELFISH QUESTION. ANY UPDATE ON HAZARDOUS WASTE? YES. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE NOVEMBER 7TH. IT'S I PUT IN FOR IT AND I'VE BEEN SITTING ON THE NEST. AND AND SO I'VE BEEN KIND OF DEALING WITH. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO GET IT. SO I'M NOT I'M NOT OFFICIALLY YET UNTIL I UNTIL I GET NOTIFICATION FROM THEM, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE. SO YEAH, IT'S GOOD FOR US. YEAH. 
          YOU'RE NOT REFERRING TO DIRTY DIAPERS. I AM HAVING ANOTHER ONE, BUT OKAY, LET'S SEE, WHERE AM I UP TO? MR. DUNN IS HERE FOR MR. GIACOMINI OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD. 
          GOOD EVENING. GOOD TO SEE YOU. COPIES OF OUR MINUTES. RIGHT. YEAH. FROM OUR LAST MEETING, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY WITH THE CORRIDOR STUFF THAT'S GOING ON. AND THE SOUTHWESTERN PROJECT AND BIG TREE. WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER THAT WORKS FOR THE DOT, SO WE HAVE KIND OF AN IN NOW. SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF HELPING THINGS. OTHER THAN THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THAT THE BANK ON CAMP ROAD IS CLOSED NEXT TO THE POST OFFICE AND GOING BACK INTO HISTORY, THE POST OFFICE WOULDN'T GO ON BOARD WITH US TO UTILIZE THAT DRIVEWAY. SO NOW WE'RE TRYING TO NOW THAT THE BANK IS CLOSED, WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE OWNER AND WORK OUT. MAYBE WE CAN CHANGE THAT DRIVEWAY OVER TO ELIMINATE THAT HORRIBLE PROBLEM AT CAMP AND SUNSET. SO IN OTHER WORDS, SEMIS PARKING IN THERE NOW, RIGHT? IT'S TURNING INTO A LITTLE TRUCK. SO IN OTHER WORDS, ENTRANCE FOR THE POST OFFICE WOULD BE ABLE TO BE AT THE TIED INTO THE LIGHT, RIGHT? IN OTHER WORDS, IT PROBABLY STILL HAVE THE DRIVEWAY FOR THE JEEPS GOING IN AND OUT, BUT FOR THE PATRONS GOING INTO THE POST OFFICE ITSELF WOULD USE THE DRIVEWAY OFF CAMP. SO WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT. GOTTA GET THE, YOU KNOW, THE US GOVERNMENT INVOLVED DOT AND THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. ANOTHER THING THAT KIND OF. IT'S BEEN MY PET PROJECT. WE MIGHT SEND YOU OVER TO IRAN. YEAH, MY PET PROJECT. THE PEOPLE IN STEELTON SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH 
          [01:30:10]
THAT PENN DIXIE SITE ANY LONGER. THEY HAVE THAT PARKING LOT THAT WE GOT BUILT ON JEFFREY BOULEVARD. ALL THE WEBSITES AND EVERYTHING SHOULD. REACT OR SHOULD, SHOULD POINT OUT THAT THAT'S WHERE THEY, THE PEOPLE SHOULD PARK THAT ARE GOING TO THE SHALE PIT. MAYBE YOU COULD LIGHT A FIRE ONTO THEM GUYS AND SAY, HEY, LISTEN, ENOUGH'S ENOUGH. THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING THIS OFF AND PUTTING US OFF. AND THE PEOPLE IN STEELTON DON'T NEED TO HAVE TOUR BUSSES DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, GOING INTO THE ALLEN ALLEN STREET EXIT OR ENTRANCE TO THE APPENDIX SITE. I'LL REACH OUT TO DOCTOR STOKES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. JUDGE. 
          THANK YOU. ENGINEERING CAMI. JUST A COUPLE QUICK PROJECT UPDATES. OUR SENIOR AND COMMUNITY CENTER, THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON UNDERGROUND UTILITIES. SO WATER SEWER THE CONDUIT FOR FIBER. SO ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE THERE'S A LOT GOING ON, THEY'VE ACTUALLY GOTTEN A LOT DONE IN THE LAST MONTH. THEY STILL ARE CURRENTLY ON SCHEDULE. FOUNDATIONS WILL GO NEXT MONTH WITH THE BUILDING ABOUT MID JUNE AND TOUCHED A LITTLE BIT ON OUR PARKING LOT PROJECT THAT AGAIN, THE BIG MILL AND PAVE IS PLANNED FOR ABOUT MID JUNE. BUT ONCE WE HAVE MORE SOLID DATES, I WILL TRY TO SHARE THAT WITH THE TOWN BOARD, THE TOWN EMPLOYEES, THE PUBLIC, AND EVERYONE OUTSIDE OF THAT. WE HAVE THE CONCESSION AND BATHROOM BY THE SOCCER FIELDS. EVERYTHING IS IN. WE ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE UTILITY COMPANY TO RUN THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE ACROSS LAKEVIEW. ONCE THEY DO THAT, WE CAN START MOVING FORWARD WITH MORE ITEMS ON THE SITE ITSELF. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE SORT OF ON ON DECK YOU PUT OUT FOR THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE JETTY, SO IT WILL BE A BUSY SUMMER AS THINGS START RAMPING UP. THERE ARE A LOT OF COUNTY STATE UTILITY PROJECTS. ERIE COUNTY WATER, ERIE COUNTY SEWER ALL HAVE PROJECTS IN THE AREA. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS ON THAT, WE TRY TO KEEP TRACK OF IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THOSE ENTITIES TRY TO UPDATE ENGINEERING OR HIGHWAY ON WHAT THEY'VE GOT GOING ON. SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS, BUT IF THE PUBLIC DOES HAVE QUESTIONS, WE CAN TRY TO POINT THEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IF THEY NEED TO. AND WHEN WE DO GET ANYTHING OFFICIAL, WE TRY TO POST IT ON THE WEBSITE AND THE FACEBOOK PAGE SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT PROJECTS ARE GOING ON. THOSE THINGS AT THE NIKE BASE GOING REALLY SMOOTHLY. ACTUALLY, IT'S IT'S ONE OF THE FEW PROJECTS THAT I HAVE CAN BE VERY HANDS OFF. THINGS ARE RUNNING REALLY WELL, LIKE I SAID, SO FAR ON SCHEDULE. SO THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY. 
          YOU'RE HAPPY? I'M HAPPY. THANKS. AWESOME PLANNING. JOSH. I'LL START WITH PLANNING BOARD FIRST. 
          WE HAVE TWO MEETINGS COMING UP MAY 6TH MAY 20TH FOR THE MAY 6TH MEETING. WE HAVE A COUPLE COOL PROJECTS. WE HAVE FIVE ITEMS ON THAT AGENDA. FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE SOLAR PROJECT PROPOSED FOR PLEASANT AVENUE. THAT PROJECT IS TABLED TO MAY 20TH AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT. SO THAT PROJECT WILL NOT BE ON MAY 6TH. IT'LL BE ON MAY 20TH. WE'VE UPDATED THE AGENDA FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THAT PROJECT. SO YEAH, THAT'S FOR THE PLANNING BOARD. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SUPERVISOR FARRELL. LAWRENCE, JUST TO GO BACK TO THE ALLIANCE PROJECT, I'LL BE BRIEF. BUT BACK IN 2025, I DID DO A BASICALLY AN FAQ AND AN INFO SHEET FOR THAT PROJECT. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I TRIED TO QUELL SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME FOR THAT PROJECT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WERE ASKED WAS, IS IT SECTION EIGHT HOUSING? AND THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS NO. THEY'RE MARKET RATE APARTMENTS. ONE OF THE OTHER QUESTIONS WAS, WAS THE PROPERTY EVER TOWN OWNED OR WAS IT DEEDED AS OPEN SPACE? THAT PROPERTY WAS PRIVATELY OWNED BY A COMPANY FOR OVER 30 YEARS. IT WAS SPLIT ZONED R-3, WHICH IS MULTI-FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL AND C-1. AND THE TOWN BOARD AT THAT TIME DID DECIDE TO REZONE IT ALL TO R-3. AND THEN THERE WERE SOME OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WOULD HAVE STAYED THE SAME, STAYED THE SAME ZONING ON THE C-1 SIDE, THERE WAS A PROPOSAL FOR A 2500 SQUARE FOOT BANK, 15,000FT■S OF RESTAURANT RETAIL SPACE, AND THEN THERE STILL WAS ENOUGH ROOM FOR TWO TWO STORY APARTMENTS CONSISTING OF TEN UNITS, AND THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE WITH THE CURRENT PROPOSAL. THERE'S SEVEN ACRES, INCLUDING WETLANDS OF OPEN SPACE, THAT WERE DEEDED AS A CONSERVATION EASEMENT, SO THERE CANNOT BE ANY BUILDING WITHIN THOSE SEVEN ACRES. AND THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE FAQS AT THAT TIME FOR THAT PROJECT. SO HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. THANKS. OTHER THAN THAT, NOTHING ELSE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT WE DID NOT GET TO YOUR REPORT OR KAMEEZ TO THE TOWN BOARD DURING WORK SESSION 
          [01:35:02]
BEFORE. SO WE'LL DO THAT AFTERWARDS, AFTER WE CLOSE THIS MEETING. SURE. THANK YOU. I LIKE THAT SHIRT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK. DID I MISS ANYONE? ANY DEPARTMENT HEAD? OKAY, GREAT. 
          [Additional Item 3]
THEN WE WILL GO TO REPORTS FROM THE BOARD. COUNCIL MEMBER. COUNCIL MEMBER. BIEGALSKI. 
          THANK YOU. BRIEFLY. I THINK IT'S OKAY FOR US. I KNOW SOMETIMES I'M I DON'T KNOW THE OUTVOTED ON THE BOARD AND THAT'S OKAY. THERE'S FIVE PEOPLE ON THE BOARD FOR A REASON. I RESPECT MY COLLEAGUES POSITIONS ON CERTAIN ITEMS. JUST BECAUSE WE DISAGREE DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'M RIGHT OR SOMEONE ELSE IS RIGHT. I THINK WE BRING DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, AND THAT'S WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE UNANIMOUS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE TIMES, AND THAT'S WHAT I GET PAID A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY TO DO WHERE PEOPLE HAVE COME AND THEY'VE THEY'VE CRITICIZED DIFFERENT VOTES. AND JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T VOTE THE WAY SOMEONE WANTED, THAT'S OKAY. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE WE HAVE IN MY, IN MY VIEW, THAT THAT'S OUR THAT'S OUR STRENGTH TO BRING DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS AND DIFFERENT IDEAS FROM, FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND SO FORTH. AND I DO, AND I DO RESPECT MY COLLEAGUES AND I MAY SEE IT DIFFERENTLY AND WE MAY CHANGE OUR MINDS. BUT I THINK EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD AND DOES WHAT THEY THINK IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN OF HAMBURG FROM THEIR DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. AND AS FAR AS THE NEW BOARD GOES, MY NEW COLLEAGUES ON THE BOARD, I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY HARD. THEY'RE UP TO DATE ON ON ALL THE ISSUES. AND I THINK THEY'RE DOING A REALLY, REALLY GREAT JOB, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL OF YOU GOING FORWARD. THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. COUNCIL MEMBER YEAH. 
          ON THAT NOTE, I REALLY DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT TO SAY. YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THE RECENT SHOOTING NEAR SHOOTING AND WASHINGTON AND STUFF. BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK LIKE SOME OF THE RHETORIC AND STUFF THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS IS KIND OF ESPECIALLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I THINK THEY'RE JUST ON A YOUTUBE SHOW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LOOKING FOR THEIR NEXT RATINGS OR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH EACH OTHER. YOU KNOW, AS MR. BUKOWSKI SAID, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE HAS, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'RE LIKE REAR ENDS. EVERYONE'S GOT THEIR OWN OPINIONS. AND ANYWAYS, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS FELT IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN YOUR VOTE WHY YOU VOTED A CERTAIN WAY, THEN IT'S YOUR PREROGATIVE ANYWAYS. OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S IT. TERRIFIC. 
          THANKS. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER ORTIZ. YEAH. NO. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE MUCH THIS WEEK. I DO WANT TO JUST TOUCH BACK ON THE PROCLAMATION FOR ALS. WE DID. I'M SURE THEY REACHED OUT TO EVERYONE. I HAD A RESIDENT REACH OUT ABOUT THAT SPECIFICALLY. I'M VERY HAPPY THAT WE DID THAT. I THINK IT'S A VERY SAD AND DEBILITATING DISEASE, UNFORTUNATELY, AND WITH NO CURE RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY IN IN MY LIFETIME THAT THAT'S FIGURED OUT. BUT THE MORE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT, LIKE THE ALS ASSOCIATION AND DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT, THAT HELP TRY TO FUND AND RESEARCH AND TRY TO FIND A CURE, PLEASE CONSIDER DOING THAT. THERE'S MANY DISEASES LIKE THIS THAT THAT NEED OUR SUPPORT. SO WHERE WE CAN DO IT THAT, YOU KNOW, PLEASE TRY TO DO THAT. SO THANKS EVERYONE. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER DICKSON, ALSO WITH RESPECT TO ALS, IN MY PREVIOUS CAREER AS A REPORTER AT CHANNEL TWO, ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, I DID STORIES WITH PEOPLE WHO HAD ALS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING DISEASE, NOT JUST THE PERSON OBVIOUSLY SUFFERING WITH ALS, BUT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEIR LOVED ONES. 
          AND SO HOPEFULLY IN OUR LIFETIME, WE CAN FIND A CURE BECAUSE I, I SAW WHAT THESE PEOPLE WENT THROUGH AND IT'S AWFUL. THE OTHER THING, ON A MUCH LIGHTER NOTE, GO SABERS, SABERS. LET'S HOPE TOMORROW THEY CAN FINISH THE BRUINS. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE BUFFALO BLADE GANG, WHICH IS A. IS A GROUP OF FOUR YOUNG SOUTH BUFFALO GUYS WHO, LIKE. THEY ROLLERBLADE FROM SOUTH BUFFALO TO THE, YOU KNOW, FOR THE THE PLAZA. AND THEN THEY WENT TO BOSTON AND HAD A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN A WARM GREETING THERE, I SHOULD SAY. 
          BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT. BUT THEY'RE A GREAT GROUP OF YOUNG GUYS, THESE FOUR YOUNG GUYS, AND THEY'RE JUST THEIR PASSION FOR THE SPORT AND THEIR EXCITEMENT. YOU KNOW, MOST OF US IN THIS ROOM WERE ABLE TO, AT SOME POINT ALONG THE WAY, SEE THE BUFFALO SABERS IN THE PLAYOFFS. 
          AND FOR A LOT OF THESE GUYS, LIKE THEY WERE SO YOUNG LAST TIME THE SABERS WERE IN IT. SO THEY'RE A GREAT GROUP OF GUYS. I'M, I AM I AM ADVOCATING FOR THEM HITTING THE DRUM TOMORROW 
          [01:40:02]
NIGHT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I WOULD SECOND THAT. YEAH. NO, NOT THAT I KNOW OF. BUT THEY HAD THEIR SKATES ON THERE. SO AND THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT THIS EVENING. 
          THANK YOU. OKAY. WELL, I KNOW I'VE BEEN ASKED THAT QUESTION A LOT THIS LAST WEEK. SO ARE YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND FOR BOSTON OR FOR BUFFALO? AND I SAY BUFFALO WITHOUT A DOUBT, THERE'S NO QUESTION. SO GO SABERS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK STEVE DUSA, OUR ASSISTANT CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, WHO IS RETIRING. SO TO ECHO WHAT JEFF SAID, WE APPRECIATE HIS FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE TOWN, AND WE DO EXTEND OUR BEST WISHES TO HIM AND TO HIS FAMILY. THE SECOND ONE I KNOW OUR YOUTH REC AND SENIOR SERVICES DIRECTOR COULD NOT BE HERE THIS EVENING, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW, AND SO I'M GOING TO PUT OUT AN ALL CALL TO EVERYONE IF YOU COULD SPREAD THE WORD. WE HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER DAY PROGRAM FOR THE CHILDREN OF THIS TOWN, AND IT REALLY IS A GREAT SERVICE TO THE FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND IT'S ALREADY SOLD OUT. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE, BUT WHAT WE'RE LACKING RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE LACKING IN IT. WE EITHER NEED AN LPN AND RN OR AN EMT, SOMEONE WHO'S CERTIFIED IN ONE OF THOSE AREAS. SHANNON SHAKING HER HEAD. YES, THE THE PROGRAM RUNS FROM JULY 6TH THROUGH AUGUST 14TH, AND IT'S DURING THE DAY FROM 830 TO 430. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR SEVERAL PEOPLE TO EVEN SPLIT THAT TIME SO WE CAN MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU, BUT WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED. SO PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS. IT REALLY IS A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME TO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. SHANNON, YOU HAD YOUR HAND UP. MAYBE, MAYBE REACH OUT TO SUMMER BECAUSE IS THAT LIKE THE WAS THE LPN OR AARON. I KNOW MY DAUGHTER WAS THE EMT THERE FOR PROBABLY 3 OR 4 YEARS, AND IT'S A GOOD STEPPING STONE FOR YES, GET INTO IT. SO WE REACHED OUT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO CIRCLE BACK AGAIN. WE'VE PUT AN AD IN THE SUN. I THINK WE'RE PUTTING THAT IN AGAIN. BUT I THINK SOMETIMES WORD OF MOUTH IS, IS THE BEST POSSIBILITY. AND THE FACT THAT WE WOULD BE FLEXIBLE AND WE COULD POSSIBLY SPLIT THE TIME BETWEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE. AND AGAIN, IT'S A WONDERFUL GROUP OF CHILDREN THAT YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH. IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM AND A SUPER WAY TO SPEND YOUR SUMMER. WE'RE ALSO IN NEED OF LIFEGUARDS. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, AGAIN, FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES WHO HAVE THAT CERTIFICATION. IT'S A GREAT SPOT TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON OUR WONDERFUL WATERFRONT. SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE A LIFEGUARD, THE APPLICATIONS ARE ON THE TOWN'S WEBSITE. OR YOU COULD CALL YOUTH AND SENIOR SERVICES DIRECTLY. IF IT'S ABOUT THE LPN, RN, OR EMT IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION. SO THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THE WORD THIS WEDNESDAY. AGAIN, I MENTIONED BEFORE ABOUT HOW WE REALLY ENJOY AND LIKE TO CULTIVATE OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH ALL OF OUR LEGISLATIVE PARTNERS AND THOSE WHO PROVIDE SERVICES TO PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. AGAIN, THANK YOU, JEAN, FOR BEING HERE. THIS WEDNESDAY, WE WILL BE HOSTING OUR COUNTY CLERK, MICKEY KEARNS, AND HE'LL BE HERE TO MEET WITH SOME OF OUR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT HEADS. AS IT RELATES TO SPECIFICALLY A ZOMBIE PARCEL PROGRAM AND SOME OTHER ISSUES AS IT AFFECTS THE TOWN OF HAMBURG. ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING. AND IT MAYBE WENT A LITTLE BIT UNNOTICED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT LAST SUMMER, ERIE COUNTY CONTACTED THE TOWN, AND EVERY SO OFTEN WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO DO IS THEY LIKE TO OFFER UP TO THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES, SMALL PIECES, SMALL PARCELS. SOMETIMES THEY'RE TEN BY 30, TEN BY 80. 
          THEY'RE JUST SMALL, ODD PIECES OF GREEN SPACE. AND SO THEY OFFERED A LARGE LIST OF POSSIBILITIES WITHIN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG. AND WITH THE HELP OF OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT, WE WENT THROUGH AND AND HIGHWAY, WE WENT THROUGH THAT ENTIRE LIST. IT WAS SEVERAL HUNDRED LONG THE LIST, AND WE ANALYZED EVERY PARCEL. AND SO WHAT WE DID IS WE SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY. AND TONIGHT'S RESOLUTION WAS THAT THE COUNTY IS TRANSFERRING OVER 102 OF THOSE PARCELS. IN SOME SITUATIONS IT WAS TO CREATE OR IT WAS TO INCREASE THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR OUR HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT. THERE WERE EXAMPLES WHERE IT WAS ON PAPER ROADS AND SO WE DID NOT WANT TO. WE DIDN'T THINK IT FIT INTO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD COME IN THERE IN OTHER SITUATIONS. IT WAS IN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE IT WAS 1 OR 2 PARCELS HERE OR THERE. WE DECIDED IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO RETAIN THAT AS GREEN SPACE. IN OTHER SITUATIONS. THERE WERE PARCELS THAT WERE ADJACENT TO OUR PARKS, AND WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO GAIN CONTROL AGAIN, TO PROTECT THAT GREEN SPACE. SO THOSE THAT RESOLUTION THIS EVENING WAS FOR THE TRANSFER OF THOSE 102 PARCELS FROM ERIE COUNTY TO THE TOWN OF HAMBURG 
          [01:45:02]
FOR A WHOPPING $1. BUT WE DID THAT. THAT WAS A TEAM EFFORT, AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT. 
          AGAIN, IT ADDS TO THE OVERALL GREEN SPACE IN THE COMMUNITY. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          OH, A REMINDER, THE SCHEDULE IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR OUR NEXT TOWN BOARD MEETING. 
          USUALLY YOU'RE USED TO THEM BEING EVERY OTHER WEEK BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY. IN MAY, OUR SCHEDULE FOR TOWN BOARD MEETINGS WILL BE ON MAY 4TH AND MAY 18TH. SO WE RETURN NEXT MONDAY, SAME PLACE, SAME TIME FOR A TOWN BOARD MEETING. I ALSO THIS PAST WEEK I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO TWO IMPORTANT GROUPS, ONE IN THE TOWN AND ONE IN THE REGION. THE FIRST WAS. I SPENT TUESDAY MORNING WITH THE SOUTH TOWN'S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. IT WAS A GREAT TIME FOR ME TO MEET WITH OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY. SO IMPORTANT, SO VITAL. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TOWN, OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY, THE RESIDENTS, WHAT WE COULD WORK ON AND DO TOGETHER. THAT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. AND THEN WEDNESDAY, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY WITH THE SUPERVISOR OF THE TOWN OF ORCHARD PARK TO SPEAK. WE WERE THE TWO PANELISTS AT THE CONSTRUCTION EXCHANGE, THEIR ANNUAL MEETING. THERE WERE ABOUT 300 PEOPLE THERE, AND WE FOCUSED ON THE BILLS STADIUM AND THE IMPACT TO THE AREAS AROUND THE BILLS STADIUM. WHAT ARE AND I KNOW I'VE WORKED, YOU KNOW, LENGTHY WITH THE COMMITTEE, WITH OUR PLANNING CONSULTANT, ETC. AND WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH, WE WILL BE LOOKING TO FINALIZE OUR PLAN AND OUR ZONING FOR THAT AREA. THE ECC CAMPUS IS CURRENTLY ZONED R-3, WHICH MEANS APARTMENT COMPLEXES. AS YOU'VE HEARD ME SPEAK, YOU KNOW, FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE DON'T WANT THAT LOST ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY BOTH FOR THE TOWN OF HAMBURG AND FOR THE REGION. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO DEVELOP A PLAN AND A ZONING PACKAGE FOR THAT AREA THAT WILL BE PRESENTED. WE'VE ALREADY HAD PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, BUT THAT WILL BE PRESENTED FOR ADOPTION SHORTLY. IT WAS EVERYTHING WAS RECEIVED VERY WELL AT THE CONSTRUCTION EXCHANGE, AND THEY WERE EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT OUR PLANS. AND I THINK THAT IS IT. 
          AND I'LL ECHO WHAT WAS ALREADY SAID. THANK YOU, EVERYONE FOR COMING, FOR SHARING YOUR CONCERNS, YOUR THOUGHTS. WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO TRY TO GET AS MANY OF THESE THINGS IRONED OUT FOR YOU, AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. STAY SAFE AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT MONDAY. HELLO. I MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE MEETING. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? I.
