Take a moment of silence to remember [2:16] him. [2:29] » Thank you very much. That was a wonderful individual and [2:33] he will be missed. For years, he [2:36] even in his early 90s, late 80s, watered all the flowers in Sandborn. [2:41] We took that over last year. It just got to be too much for him.

Um we were out of town for the [3:45] winter. Uh we had a water line break right at the time we were gone. [3:49] We're looking for a forgiveness on the sewer portion. [3:53] So, I talked to Danny Zeno. [3:56] Kevin and I had a meeting with Danny Zeno like a couple of weeks before the [3:59] board. You get the bill on Friday. I make [4:01] apologies. I didn't get the bill. [4:10] Yes. It's going to span two quarters. You got [4:13] to get that extra bill? Cuz it when I last talked to you, they [4:16] hadn't gotten the extra bill. You thought there was going to be [4:20] one more. No? >> No, there's just the [4:23] » Okay. >> There's late charges. There'll be late [4:25] charges on >> Yeah, they're not [4:28] Yeah, we're not worried about the late charges. Um [4:53] I I think it's the same as >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. [5:00] » So, basically it's this bill and this bill? [5:04] » It's the the total is the sewer increase from [5:08] uh previous year. [5:11] It's 344.18. And then [5:14] there's late charges of 142.44. >> Right. [5:18] » And the >> Yeah. [5:19] » one bill. >> So, the sewer total increase was 344.18.

[5:37] » So, I asked Mr. Mirabella to come. Um just so we're [5:43] we're using round numbers. Um I would ask for a motion [5:48] on my topic of Danny Zinger to give him a sewer relief in the total [5:51] of $325. That way it favors us on any little [5:56] area. So, $325. Does anybody else have a problem with that? [6:01] Can I get a second? >> I'll second it. [6:03] » Any questions? [6:07] All in favor? I. Opposed? Motion carried. So, it'll be [6:10] a sewer relief of $325. And then [6:15] I'll work with the water department for the next few days. [6:17] Okay? Yeah. Thank you. [6:23] Timothy McKee. [6:41] » Greetings.

They went really well. They came out [10:02] really nice. And [10:05] Next on the agenda is the Hillside Orchard [10:09] neighborhood. That will be [10:11] starting July 14th for milling. We haven't set down a date for paving [10:17] yet. Um [10:20] Other than that, just uh drainage projects and [10:24] so on. And then um [10:28] Supervisor Broderick and I discussed up at the dog park uh making some [10:33] improvements and doing some work up there. [10:36] And uh You know, we came up with the idea to [10:41] do some concrete work up there where the dogs can dig underneath the [10:45] toys and what have you, but concrete underneath them so that they can do it. [10:49] Uh so when we did get three bids for concrete [10:53] Um our lowest bid came in at $13,600 and that would be through Henwood [10:59] Construction. >> Through who, Henry? [11:01] » Henwood. >> Henwood. [11:02] » Yes. >> So [11:04] » Where would the concrete >> It's going to [11:05] » So around the entrance [11:07] » Around the entranceway and then where the obstacles are and stuff like [11:11] that, where the dogs are undermining them, digging them out, digging [11:14] underneath those so that we can stop that from [11:17] » So Mike and I went up there and it was I mean there's flooding. When it when it [11:21] rains it's a muddy mess to get in. [11:25] So we had met with the dog owners group and I think they had submitted some a [11:29] list of certain things they would like to see them have up there and then they [11:31] want When I went up there that's something we [11:33] noticed right away. So, um >> Did Did you Did you talk to Jackie at [11:38] all about it? >> I did not yet. No. [11:41] » Each 97 or Parks and Recreation Department? [11:45] What would you like to see [11:51] » I would say probably the the fund balance where the parks [11:56] » Okay. >> That would be [11:57] » Okay. So, I I would ask for a motion to [12:00] approve concrete in the amount of 13,600 for the dog park and both entrances and [12:05] remove all the obstacles. >> Yes. [12:07] » Um from the B fund. >> I'll make that motion. [12:11] » I'll second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor? I. I. [12:15] Opposed? Motion carried. [12:18] Okay, that's it. >> Nothing else. And just before you leave [12:21] the board, >> Do you have a fire alarm for the water? [12:22] » I got it right here. >> So, um James Daniel couldn't make it. Um [12:26] but, he uh he would like to hire uh summer help for the water department, [12:32] Colin Cosgrove, in the amount of $18 an hour starting tomorrow, June 23rd. [12:38] » I'll make a motion to hire Colin Cosgrove at $18 an hour starting [12:42] tomorrow. >> Second. [12:44] » Motion and a second. All in favor? I. I. Opposed? [12:47] Motion carried.

We just want to throw them out. [13:15] » Okay. Um [13:18] Did you get a chance to have a look at it? [13:20] » I I have not, but the the They're they're [13:25] completely effectively, they're not worth worth anything. [13:27] » No, no, they're it. >> Do you have to do anything as far as the [13:29] pre-arm etc. that's in it? >> Um probably have to uh [13:34] remove the >> You're able to do that?

So, I'd need a motion to declare [13:46] this excess equipment to be disposed of. [13:50] » I'll make the motion. >> I'll second it. [13:53] » All in favor? >> Aye. [13:54] » Aye. >> Opposed? [13:56] Motion carried. Jeff, do you want to give a quick update [13:59] on the sewer relief down there? >> Yeah, the guys are going pretty good [14:03] putting the Morgan relief sewer in. [14:08] It's going to take us a lot longer than we had expected, but the guys are making [14:12] great progress and today's the only day that we haven't worked on [14:17] it during the during the week because of [14:20] the rain. Slow go, but going well. [14:23] » Good. [14:26] What's What's the expected completion date? [14:29] » I wouldn't want to um venture a guess, but I would say by the [14:35] end of next month.

Information on those activities are all [15:04] on Facebook or our website. Check them out. [15:07] » Okay, thank you. It's hard to believe that baseball's already [15:13] » Yeah, it's a beast, but it's it's it's growing, so it's good. [15:19] » How many total kids for your the camp, summer camp? [15:23] » Summer camp, I don't know [15:25] we have over 200. Over 200 and we had and that's all we [15:30] could take because of how many counselors we have and we can't fit much [15:33] more than 100 at Kiwanis. And we had over 300 that signed up. [15:39] » And very successful. Melinda? [15:42] » Yes, we're very busy at the senior center. Lots of stuff going on as [15:45] always. Lots of new people coming in, lots of new van riders. So, yeah.

We need the approval of the minutes for the work session on May [16:22] 11th and the regular town board meeting on May 25th. [16:26] » I will review them both and make a motion to accept the minutes. [16:30] » I'll second. >> The motion is second. All in favor? [16:33] Aye. Opposed? [16:34] Motion carried. Councilman Myers for the abstract of claims. [16:42] » June 22nd, 2026. I move to approve the regular abstract of claims [16:47] 26-01 616 to 26- [16:53] 01771 and recommend total payment in the [16:57] amount of $216,000 510 dollars and 17 cents. And the post [17:04] audit payment in the amount of zero dollars. [17:08] » I'll second. >> The motion is second. All in favor? [17:10] » Aye. >> Opposed? Motion carried. [17:14] Thank you very much. Under old business, the pickleball [17:17] courts at the plateau. So, when we went to the Greenway Commission for approval, [17:22] um the Greenway Commission's recommendation [17:25] was to move them further. They're at the plateau pickleball. We're going to go [17:28] with the plateau at the west end. They didn't like the fact that they're [17:32] going to be that close to the bird sanctuary, so they wanted us to move [17:36] them east. [17:38] The football players play up there. We've had two meetings with the football [17:42] players' parents. And we had the definite uh voicing of [17:46] concern about losing territory. We were going to clear some more area out on the [17:52] north end of the plateau. This is a project with the [17:55] village. And right now it just seems like with [17:58] the new administration that we need to take a step back. Um [18:03] and put it kind of on the back burner and [18:07] maybe revisit the plateau at another time. However, [18:11] we still want to move forward with pickleball. So, I'm going to make a [18:14] motion that we change the location from the plateau to Fletcher Park with the [18:19] pickleball courts. And where that's going to save us a little [18:23] bit of money is there's a pavilion at Fletcher Park. It's already there, so [18:27] this would not include a new pavilion. We would utilize the pavilion that's [18:31] there. So, it would still be listening to Fire Hall, and then it would be [18:36] Fletcher Park. So, I will make a motion to move the location of our proposed [18:40] pickleball courts to Fletcher Park, which is on the [18:44] Greenway and is an appropriate um use of Greenway funds in this location. [18:50] » I'll second that. >> We have a motion and a second. All in [18:53] favor? I. I. Opposed? Motion carried. [18:57] Excellent. Uh nothing under new business. [19:00] My liaison report, um at a meeting a couple meetings ago, we approved a [19:06] traffic study at Swatling Road City Road. [19:10] I reached out to um Richard Hayes [19:17] Yeah, Richard Hayes of Invictus Civil Engineering. [19:21] They do this type of work. Um and we have a proposal in front of us. Um and I [19:26] would ask for a motion to approve Invictus Civil Engineering to to do a [19:30] traffic study. All their actual analysis and what they're going to do is listed [19:34] in the estimate. Their total of $537 $5,375 [19:39] and 0 cents. Um and that's a motion to approve [19:43] Invictus Civil Engineering. I'll take a motion. [19:46] » Motion. >> Second. No, I'm I mean Go on. Sorry. [19:49] Second. I'm sorry. >> So, we have a motion and a second. [19:51] Anybody have any questions? Um [19:55] All in favor? >> I. [19:56] » Opposed? Motion carried. So, I will call um Rick and get that going. [20:03] They will give me a time when it will be done, but it will be done. [20:08] Hopefully soon. So, can I get you a copy of everything that is included as far as [20:12] the traffic study? >> Yeah. [20:15] » What's the problem with the funding with that? [20:17] » Oh, it's H97. I'm sorry. >> That's the motion. [20:20] » Yeah. That motion to approve that motion will be [20:23] H97 funds. >> It's the desired infrastructure fund. [20:29] » So, >> Second. I'll second it. [20:31] » All in favor? >> I. [20:32] » I. Motion carried. [20:36] Thank you. [20:56] Okay. And Upward Niagara Chamber of Commerce bill. So, we reached out to the [21:02] chamber. Um when I was there the winter the year, [21:06] there was snow coming in through the windows, snow coming underneath the [21:09] door, and their roof you could actually see through the roof in small patches. [21:14] So, we reached out to them They worked with uh the village [21:18] engineer, Mike Marino. They put it out to a sealed bid um [21:23] for the repairs. The repairs are going to be [21:27] 1 26 by 32 window replacement. I'm sorry, seven [21:32] 26 by 32 window replacements. Two 24 by 38 window replacements, 26 by [21:38] 42 window replacements, two of them. An exterior door replacement and a roof [21:44] replacement. And the total is from Walter Johnson [21:47] Building Company of $167,905. [21:52] The other bid was $243,500. [21:56] So, I would ask for a motion to accept the bid from Walter Johnson Building [22:00] Company in the amount of $167,000 and that $167,905 [22:07] from our page 97 energy fund. [22:10] » 98. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Page 98 [22:14] energy fund. >> I'll second that. [22:17] » There's a motion and a second. [22:20] » That's all. >> Are there any questions? [22:25] » What's In in my opinion, that's a lot of money [22:30] to replace windows that are 20 years old. [22:35] » Well, the roof The roof's a liability here. [22:38] » Yeah, I understand. >> Roof's $111,000. [22:42] » Yeah, I understand. The roof is 14 square at $3,000 a square. [22:46] And uh $3,000 to $4,000 per square. [22:50] And building prices are way above what the market generally [22:54] bears for window replacements over [23:00] They have to Um [23:02] What's it called when it's a municipal prevailing prevailing wages and these [23:07] prevailing wages and the roof is I think cedar shake. [23:13] Are they replacing it with cedar? Yes. [23:20] It's a historical building, isn't it? Yes. Yeah, they had to go to the [23:23] historical preservation. They actually they wouldn't let them do [23:26] the second door. There were two doors. They wouldn't let them do the second [23:30] door. I think I think they believe some of the windows need to be wooden sashes [23:35] etc. Bill's very familiar with the work with the [23:38] he worked with the other building as well. So [23:44] You're saying 167 is a lot? I'm saying I'm saying for a roof repair and for a [23:50] replacement for windows that is way above market. [23:54] 143. The [23:56] problem is that our building inspector is not here or bad. [24:00] We can't get anybody to do government municipal work. [24:04] I mean I think Ed's working on the senior center which we put it out to bid [24:10] and nobody bid. So [24:13] that's that's the problem. He's he's hoping he's got somebody that's going to [24:17] bid on it and it will go out again. I actually was at the water department [24:21] meeting the other day and they had no bids on our matter county water [24:25] department as well. So I mean [24:28] we made a promise to the chamber that we're going to get them new [24:31] windows doors and a roof. We have the money in the 898 account. [24:38] I would like to move forward on it. [24:44] Could I ask for an opportunity to review the bids? [24:49] I'd like to review the specs. I've never seen any of them. Yes, we can [24:52] table it if you want. We'll table it and have you looked at [24:56] the the information? [25:00] Okay. So, we'll table it we'll table it. We have a motion and a second. We'll [25:03] table it till the next meeting in July. [25:08] Okay. [25:13] Nothing under legal, nothing under engineering. Budget revisions. [25:19] » Previously I submitted to the board and to your package uh [25:23] five budget revisions for the fiscal year [25:26] 2026. And tonight I ask for your approval to [25:30] process those. >> I reviewed them with Jackie today and [25:34] I'll make a motion that we accept them as presented. [25:38] We have a motion and a second. All in favor? [25:40] » I. >> Opposed? Motion carried. [25:44] » Thank you. >> Councilman Byrd? [25:47] » Uh nothing at this time. >> Councilman Morial? [25:50] » I have two sewer forgivenesses to go over. I guess [25:55] they were both replacement liners in their pools. [25:58] And we have one for Chelsea Betts at 470 Longview Drive [26:03] in the amount of $32.05 for a sewer forgiveness. This was [26:08] approved by Jeff Ritter from the Water Pollution Control Board. [26:13] » That's a motion. >> That's a motion. Do we have a second? [26:15] » Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor? [26:18] » I. >> Opposed? [26:20] Motion carried. >> I also have another one for Thomas Ivant [26:24] Ivantsov 4685 Hickory Lane, Louisville, KY. [26:29] Um this one is for 80 This was also a replacement of a liner. [26:34] And it's sewer forgiveness of $84.84. And that also was approved by Mr. [26:39] Ritter. >> Okay, that is a motion. [26:42] Motion and a second. All in favor? >> I. [26:48] » Councilman Byers? >> I have nothing. [26:51] » Councilman Neighbors on the town? >> Um [26:55] So, if you have any questions or you'd like to speak [26:56] » No, thank you. >> You're happy with what Okay. [26:59] Yeah, yeah, just one of those things where we had to approve it and find [27:02] somebody to get an expert to do it. So, and I have a copy for you. I'll give it [27:05] to you. >> I gave it to somebody else. [27:07] » Oh, okay. >> That month of May I wasn't able to come [27:09] in to work. [27:12] » No, no, no, we didn't forget about you.
