[0:17] Alderman Schulmeister. Alderman Rowe. Here. Alderman Levy. Alderman Murphy here. President Richards here. Also this attending this evening is Mayor Austin Tyler and City Attorney Ed Zibolski. Okay, great.
[0:34] So we will start with audience participation. So we will take any comments on agenda items. There will be a part of the end for anything for the good of the city. So this is just agenda items. We just need your name and your address. And you have five minutes.
[0:57] You can have mine.
[0:59] That's great.
[0:59] Oh, no. He's got one. Thank you.
[1:06] All right.
[1:09] A chance to view it over. Okay. Not seeing any comments on agenda items. We will roll the agenda.
[1:20] Uh, could I have approval of the minutes of the regular session dated August 18th, 2026?
[1:25] I'll make the motion.
[1:27] All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Carried.
[1:32] Uh, proof of publication dated 812, 2026. Bids for non-hazardous solid waste disposal from um Superintendent of Public Works and also proof of publication for 813 2026. Proposals for a Citywide fire station condition assessment and analysis.
[1:55] I'll make the motion.
[1:58] All in favor? Any opposed? Motion carried.
[2:03] Okay. Communications from city officials. From the Attorney's office. Proposed easement agreement between the City of North Tonawanda and 75 main LLC to facilitate installation of new utility lines.
[2:18] What would you like to give us some background on that?
[2:19] I'd be happy to. So if you're familiar with the newer building off of the brick in front of Columbia Fire Hall. What's this? Columbia Street? Columbia street. Okay. And between there and Main Street, they want to put in a bathroom. So they put a structure in with no plumbing. Now they want to put a bathroom in. So that would require them to put the plumbing underneath an alley, which most people probably don't even know exists, which would run parallel with Main Street between Tremont and Goundry. It's going to go under the road. It's not going to impact anything. The engineers fired all the department heads concurred. It's not a problem. So it's pretty innocuous.
[2:58] And they can turn it back to cobblestone. Will it be the.
[3:01] It's not even under the brick road. It's a it's an alleyway. You don't even know. Perfect.
[3:06] All right. Does anybody have any questions?
[3:08] No.
[3:09] I'll make a motion.
[3:12] All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carried.
[3:17] Also from the City Attorney's office. Approval of the 2027 renewal agreements between the City of North Tonawanda and the six volunteer fire companies in North Tonawanda.
[3:27] Perfect. Before we get into that, I want to extend a thank you to Chief Orlowski, who I saw. Yes. Thank you. And Alderman Lavy and Attorney City Attorney Zibolski for working so hard on these renewal agreements. I think it's a step in the right direction.
[3:52] So does anybody have any questions? S2:
[3:55] Go ahead.
[3:58] Well it's fine.
[3:59] Well, we'll have to do roll call.
[4:01] Perfect. Yeah. All right. And then we'll do roll call.
[4:04] Alderman Schulmeister.
[4:06] A.
[4:06] Alderman Rowe. Alderman Murphy. Alderman Levy. President Richards.
[4:12] Aye. Motion carried.
[4:14] From the clerk. Treasurer's office. Approval of. Of sale of city owned property located at 1416 East Robinson Street.
[4:22] Perfect. Um, I'll also just briefly say something about that. So this is an extraordinary circumstance. There was um some similar accommodations made a few years ago to a nearby property to this address. And it has kind of been tossed around back and forth for about three years, it looks like. So we're going to tie up this loose end. But if it gets voted in favor of selling this property, this parcel to this person. Then we just want to make it clear that this is not intended to make it seem like we are just interested in selling city property. Property all over the place. This has a long history, and we're just going to potentially tie up a loose end tonight.
[5:23] Does anybody have any extra comments or questions on this agenda item? S2:
[5:27] That's correct. It has been. The sale price has been.
[5:32] The city assessor has suggested what the fair market value would be. It's a small sliver, very awkward sort of um and landlocked.
[5:44] It's landlocked.
[5:45] And landlocked. That's a good point. Yes.
[5:47] So it's evening out. Basically the parcels there, I would say, um, you know, past administrations, um, sold different types of parcels, I suppose around there and pieces. And um, so it levels it off. It's really not used by the city by any means. It's really in like a corner of an L by a corner there. So I think that covers it.
[6:09] And I just want to reiterate that what the what, uh, Miss Richards said that this is just a kind of finishing the line that I think it's imperative that we draw the line at this one. Mhm. And and not have it be another domino to keep on going down. Uh, and I believe it would be to the west, proper west property line of the property in question. Right. No further than that down East. Robinson.
[6:34] Yes, yes, yes.
[6:36] I agree with.
[6:37] You to line up with the Sweeney Street. Correct? Right.
[6:40] Right.
[6:42] Okay, great. I'll make the motion.
[6:45] Okay.
[6:47] Then we'll do roll call.
[6:51] Oh, Will Alderman Schulmeister write? S3:
[6:53] Oh, Joe. My apologies. I know we're all so. Yeah, I love it.
[6:58] All right.
[6:59] I will do. Roll call on.
[7:00] This.
[7:02] Alderman Schulmeister.
[7:04] I.
[7:05] Alderman Rowe I. Alderman Murphy.
[7:07] I.
[7:07] Alderman Levy and President Richards, I.
[7:10] Motion carried.
[7:13] Um. From the city accountant. Uh, payment of the abstract of claims dated September 1st, 2026.
[7:22] Second.
[7:25] Roll call.
[7:26] Yes. Roll call. Alderman.
[7:31] Alderman. Schulmeister. Hi. Alderman Rowe, I. Alderman Murphy, alderman Levy and President Richards, I.
[7:39] Motion carried.
[7:41] Uh, from the police chief. Approval of the amendment to the existing School Resource Officers agreement between the City of North Tonawanda and the City of North Tonawanda School District.
[7:52] I'll speak on behalf of our police chief. Uh, he wasn't able to make it tonight. So we've been in various conversations with the school district. Uh, some of the council members are aware, um, with our city school meetings. So this would add an additional SRO. So currently we have four uh, this is number five. The school district was looking to have. Six to really cover all the buildings that they have. And I believe a floating SRO that would, you know, travel between. Um, but it is very difficult to find police officers. So we are being very like long term. So we, we didn't want to commit to two. So we felt that one was appropriate. And then we're going to revisit this, uh, in a year. Um, but the agreement is for $120,000 per officer as well to cover the cost of that.
[8:48] I'll second.
[8:53] Roll call on this also alderman Schulmeister. Aye. Alderman. ROH. Alderman. Murphy. Alderman. Lavie. President. Richards.
[9:02] Aye. Motion carried.
[9:05] Uh. From youth recreation. Parks and seniors. Approval of the bid for the Deerwood golf course. Bike or bike path? Oh, my golf path and parking lot. Improvement projects.
[9:18] Um, Alex is here if you wanted to speak or if anybody has any questions on it.
[9:23] No. Okay, great. Um.
[9:26] I'll second.
[9:29] Um, that's got to be a roll call.
[9:30] Yes.
[9:31] Roll call on this also. Alderman Schulmeister. Aye. Alderman Rowe. Alderman Murphy, alderman Levy and President Richards.
[9:39] Aye. Motion carried.
[9:42] Uh. From traffic. Traffic safety committee. Various traffic safety recommendations from their August meeting.
[9:48] I'll make the motion.
[9:51] All in favor?
[9:52] Aye.
[9:52] Any opposed? Motion carried.
[9:55] And monthly reports from the police department.
[10:02] All in favor?
[10:03] Aye.
[10:04] Any opposed? Motion carried.
[10:07] Okay, that is all for the agenda.
[10:09] Awesome. Then we will go into public comment for anything for the good of the city. Just your name, address and you get five minutes.
[10:26] Hi, Marie.
[10:27] Good evening. Hello.
[10:30] Um, Marie Hewitt from Sandra Lane, apartment 705, Sandra Lane. And I'd just like to extend my appreciation to Chief Glass on behalf of the Washington Mills Noise Project Group, which right now is only a few people. Um, Jack, you've heard from before and, um, also the residents of Sandra Lane apartments and senior apartments for all the work he's done on documenting the sound volumes and then sending reports to the appropriate people in the City of Tonawanda. I also want to thank him for meeting with the officers of Washington Mills and, uh, securing from them a written, shall I call it, admission of guilt as the noise, the source of the noise. And they're promised that they're going to come up with a plan and share that with him. And hopefully we'll find a resolution to this problem. A group of a few people have now sent out information to our Assemblyman, Bill Conrad. And we also are in the process of mailing letters to over 100 residents in the affected area. We have not finished that yet, but we've got quite a few that we've sent already. We're hoping to get names in case we need them later. Um, which brings me to my last point. And that is, I understand from the last meeting that there's a possibility that progressive fines might be levied if they don't follow through and possible court action. I'm wondering if there's any progress on that. Well.
[12:18] I did talk to the chief this morning about this actually. Um so he will appreciate the comments number one. Um, he did tell me that the, the, the big G's, the CEO, um, whoever's the head there will be back, I believe within the next week or so. And then they're going to have a further discussion on how to rectify this. and the citation piece was brought up, and I believe Mr. Zibolski did sort of lean into the idea that why not? Why can't we cite them? It's the receiving end of things, even though it's a different county, a different city. So if need be, I think that is a possibility. And the chief is prepared to do that. I don't want to speak entirely for him, but I think we're trying to work it out first. Right. Rather than bring the stick.
[13:07] Certainly prefer that um, that they will be good citizens, good neighbors, all of that.
[13:12] They're responsive. So we're optimistic.
[13:14] Okay, good. Yeah. Thank you very much.
[13:16] Thank you.
[13:21] Um. I'm okay.
[13:24] Can I go? S2:
[13:25] Um, I'm Sue Wilke and I reside at 329 Miller Street. I live about a block away from the market and at the intersection of Robinson And, um, and Bryant Street. If you try to make a left turn on that street, there's kind of an obstruction. You have a utility pole stop sign further down. You had it landscaped with some flowers, and then you have a blue spruce tree, which will grow into a huge tree as time goes on. When a person is trying to make a left turn onto Robinson Street, it's hard to see the traffic coming. It's obstructed. And, um, as that tree gets bigger, it's going to be much worse. There are spruce trees that are further down the street. They're privately owned and they get big. Uh, I don't know. And then another thing I want to mention, we have sidewalk that goes along. Bryant Street and the sidewalk is heaved up. Some people. They painted yellow things on the. Where the two sidewalk pieces meet together. But it's still kind of a dangerous place. I don't know which is going to be intended to do with it. And cars park right over that sidewalk.
[14:58] Yeah, I know. Excuse me one second. I, I reported that particular.
[15:04] Yeah, I understand that. Yeah. We were together when we talked about it.
[15:08] Yeah.
[15:09] Um, if anybody cares to look at this.
[15:15] So I, I was under the impression we already removed it. That was donated by j f Kranz. And yes, we are aware it's a visual impairment. Um so I'll, I'll have, uh, the parks department or DPW take a look. And um I was that photo today or recent? Okay, I'll have someone look at it. Yeah, we we are aware of it.
[15:55] Yes. Thank you, thank.
[15:57] You, thank you.
[16:05] Robert 337 Christiana Street.
[16:09] I would like to make a proposal where we should make licensing for all bicycles and electric bikes. Like when I was a child, everything had to be licensed when I was a kid. If you rode down the street and there wasn't a license attached to your bike, it was immediately put into police officer's car and taken away. They taught us in school traffic safety and traffic laws. These new people riding these bikes have no right to be on the road or to sidewalks. They They've almost been run over numerous times. There's been at least one fatality in this town and numerous numerous people going to emergency rooms. These little scooters these kids have aren't even allowed on a bike path by New York state law. Anybody 16 years old or under supposed to have a helmet. I don't see very few kids wearing helmets. These kids come across the bridge from the City of Tonawanda on electric dirt bikes, doing wheelies down the street, so on and so forth, coming right at traffic, and you guys need to start chasing them down.
[17:06] Yeah, I agree, I agree, yes.
[17:08] Uh, Robert, uh, I think a lot of us agree with many of the points that you're making here. Um, we, I know for a fact that we have stopped, uh, people that are in violation of the, say, e-scooter e-bike laws. Um, the chief and I did speak with our SRO lieutenant who works in the school district, and he's devising an educational piece for students. Different options as well. The idea of maybe the school confiscates any of these e-scooters, um, when they're not of the appropriate age. I'm not saying that's 100%, but there's a few items that he's compiling, um, that we're going to discuss with the school district police department. But um, yes, they, they've whizzed by me even going in the opposite direction. And can you imagine if the mayor mistakenly. Yes. So not good. Um, but no, we, we're still really taking this seriously in every community, really in the regions affected by it.
[18:09] So the other thing I'd like to see, I think I talked to you briefly about this, is cleaning up dockside, the pavilion. There is just a cobweb city. If you look up, it looks like nobody's cleaned that thing in years.
[18:20] Which pavilion?
[18:21] The one right on the water, right next to the. What is it? The dock. Uh, master's place.
[18:27] Gateway Harbor?
[18:28] Yep. Gateway Harbor.
[18:29] So in the in our pavilion.
[18:31] Not dioxide spider webs so thick you could hardly see the ceiling.
[18:35] I remember Alex, you hear that? All right.
[18:39] I heard Dave. And you know what, Dave? I'm talking about stump grinders saying, oh, I'll come over there and clean it. I go, that should be a good thing for your business. If I was still in business, I sold my business and retired. I would go there and clean it and make my name known, and it'll get you a good advertising. Stand up for your community and try and get some civic pride. The other thing is the building inspector or code enforcer. There are so many abandoned cars in this town with no license plates. Years ago, when I used to have cars like that, I couldn't have a car outside my garage for two days without the city being on my case. There's cars all over the place. One more thing. The decrepit house on my street.
[19:16] A comment on that one.
[19:18] I'll stick up for Mitch a little bit. He is overwhelmed. We have we have one.
[19:22] Yeah. We used to.
[19:23] Have.
[19:24] Two soon to be two. Two right. Well needed, well needed. He is overwhelmed and I'm sure the abandoned cars probably aren't the greatest priority, but it would be nice if because they're easy to fix, they're really easy to fix.
[19:37] And also, if they don't know about it, they can't fix it too. So make sure if you see them.
[19:41] Yes, true. A lot of people don't realize if it's not registered and insured and inspected, it shouldn't be there. Right.
[19:48] Also, I went and complained about a condition of a house in my neighborhood. Supposedly it was in a fire five years ago. It is literally run down every year. The guy just tears more stuff off the house, pretends to do some work on the house and it looks. I'm in a very good neighborhood and it looks horrible.
[20:02] What's the.
[20:02] Address?
[20:03] I know Christiana.
[20:04] Christiana, I think in Bryant. The guy is a brand new car in the driveway. And when I told the building inspector, he goes, maybe the guy hasn't got the money to fix this house. He can't afford to fix his house. He should sell it. He has he has a tarp on his roof, cardboard in his windows.
[20:18] Yeah, that's I know it's right on the corner, you know, heading towards the canal. Yeah.
[20:22] It stands out like a sore thumb.
[20:24] Yeah. It seems like he's been working on that a while.
[20:26] Over ten years. I've been a neighbor ten years and it's only gets worse every year. It's going backwards.
[20:32] That's a new one. Actually, I haven't heard anybody bring that up. So we'll look into that for sure.
[20:36] That should be enough for this list. I could go on forever but yeah.
[20:39] Thank you.
[20:40] Okay. Thank you for your time.
[20:41] Yeah.
[20:53] Good afternoon. Good evening Sonia.
[20:58] I couldn't agree with Sue. When I'm on Niagara, I'm thinking, who the hell where were they thinking? They weren't thinking when they put the bushes. That is not. That's an accident waiting to happen. Thanks for mentioning it. So very important. And that reminds me on on Oliver. And I know it's known not only on Oliver Street, uh, my neighbor years ago, her family relatives used to. When they were leaving Miller Street, west of Oliver. They would go around to Wheatfield to exit.
[21:36] We have cars and we have cars that block. They obstruct. When you want to leave East. West. Your vision is black because of the vehicles. I mean, I know it's it's it's not a wide street, but I have really scratched my head. Why isn't this being looked at? I mentioned also years ago, I remember reading long ago in the motor vehicle. A vehicle had to be like 20ft from the curb, something like that. Because when another car is coming, like visualize Oliver Miller going west. You're coming from north and you're turning, and then somebody's coming down Miller Street East. When there's a car there, you could have an accident because it's really a one lane. The city department traffic people should really study that and come up. I know, you know, there's limitations. And so you have to really face them. That's an important thing. I don't want to belabor, but these are basic minimal regulations codes that we have in place. Uh, also.
[22:55] So, Sonia, just do you want us to look into Miller and Oliver and and, uh, any eyesight issues there?
[23:02] Look. Look at Oliver Street, period.
[23:05] Yeah, I have the same issue on center and. Oliver. It's impossible when church is going on. So I live on center, center and. Oliver. A lot of visual obstructions. I almost got T-boned, like, five times.
[23:16] The thing is, you're saying that's the way it is?
[23:19] No, no, no, but I've already put that on the docket for traffic and safety, so I'll make sure Miller and Oliver.
[23:25] Their basic minimal. And you know, the bicycle.
[23:33] It's a it's a serious issue that's happening. And I, I hear just about every morning, uh, Lockport, North Tonawanda, Niagara Falls, Wheatfield, accidents, car accidents, bike accidents. I know we're living in a crazy world now, I know that, uh, the other thing, mayor, I mentioned to you last spring about Carruthers and Miller and Summer. In fact, I had come across again decades ago. That used to be, like, not quite a lawn, but it was short. Deer are in there this week. You heard about a bat. I remember, uh, decades ago in our lawsuit, we had it vermin, Mince rats, different kinds of small animals. They would come out of there a couple of years ago. I'm on Carruthers stop, and I look what a huge dog I looked. That's a deer, a young deer. We gotta get that. Hey, I know we're neglected, but that's not acceptable. So what I'm saying to you, Mary. So you told me you were going to get that done. It's the beginning of the season.
[24:46] It was supposed to be done quite a few weeks ago, but I've asked every week and we actually, uh, city attorney, cover your ears toed the line where we kind of go on CSX's property a little bit just to clean up. What about we we have cleaned up that area before. They've been delayed on it, but I have been asking every week if they a lot of people take vacations. We got to keep up on the roads with the weather coming into winter.
[25:16] Was so good. They're good. He cried. And when a job was done. My God, you would thought he was.
[25:23] I'll follow up with John Irvin about it. Okay.
[25:25] I already when he was retiring, I. I couldn't say enough positive. We were lucky to have him. I'm sorry. He's not here anymore, but he's moving on. Uh, the other thing is on Miller and Oliver Street. Uh, I've been meaning to mention this to you for some time on Miller and Oliver were the cleaners. Used to be. There was a fire that was horrendous. That was. Should have been. I'm not certain if it was, but deck should have been in there. EPA about the, uh, cleaning solvents. Not good. The point is, it was a huge fire. I was sleeping through it. I didn't even know what happened. Not far from me. It was huge. And the point was, now it's tall grass, and now they've got construction vehicles. Cars. Uh, and it's. looked that corner across the bowling alley. I'll tell you, I don't know. I think to myself, I don't think much of City Hall because it's been allowed that bowling alley, whoever owns it and the way he's operating it, that's a residential area right next to them you wouldn't want to have in your backyard. I certainly wouldn't we.
[26:38] We definitely appreciate that, Sonya. And you know, I hate to cut you off, but unfortunately your five minutes.
[26:42] The others get more time to to bring things forward. I've got a laundry list. Simple stuff.
[26:47] Donna sets the same timer for every person. Yes. No one gets.
[26:52] Any. We need to have that timer back on.
[26:56] Um.
[26:57] But that that was hilarious. Yes, it just showed the bias. Thank you.
[27:02] Thank you so.
[27:03] So, mayor, what can what can I.
[27:05] Follow up? Sonya. I'll follow up with the DPW and, um, on a couple of those items. And then, um, council president and I, we can, we can look at that corner lot over there.
[27:17] I just noticed the truck being showed. It's a it's like, well, it's such it stands out. What the hell? They're having trucks coming down. We will. Oliver Street. You wouldn't have that coming down Main Street or Webster Street at all that we are. We are a neighborhood commercial, and I will tell you, your city's own consultant says OLC church. That gives stability to the to the neighborhood. So we have those kinds of things. And when you are having trucks coming through.
[27:53] A few years ago, I thought, what the hell are trucks coming down here? S6:
[28:11] I can tell.
[28:11] Her well, but just so we have it accurate.
[28:14] I need a secretary. I need a couple secretaries and a clerk.
[28:16] Well, um, send it to us because we're working with an outside planner, C and S, and they're working on our zoning code updates citywide.
[28:24] So I'm on that committee.
[28:25] Yes. So we could send those suggestions for them to, you know, um, take into consideration.
[28:32] We still have.
[28:33] But we want.
[28:34] We want, we do have to.
[28:34] Wrap.
[28:35] Up. I know we want everybody who.
[28:37] It's unbelievable.
[28:37] Comment and.
[28:38] I'm going to follow up I will I'm I'm not enough hours in the day. Thank you thank.
[28:43] You thank you Sonia thank you. Yes thank you. All right. Perfect. Any other comments for the good of the city. Just your name, address and you get five minutes.

[29:27] Oh, it's on me. Okay. All right. Um, next, uh, next Tuesday is a council workshop, and we do have a public hearing at 6:00, um, to discuss possible submission of one or more of the Community Development block grant applications, um, from the police chief. He will be here to discuss, um, updating chapter 96, which is truck route. Oh, okay. Perfect. Also, the police chief will have a flock camera representative here to have a discussion on flock cameras. Um, and then, um, and this is all up to today, we might have more, but um, and then there's also going to be a presentation from New Beginnings, Monument Committee and Rich Andres. I think the mayor and Alderman Levy, they had come in and did a presentation on um it's called the sculpture called New Beginnings that they wanted to bring to the city.
[30:27] To donate.
[30:28] To. Yeah. No, no, no, probably commit. It's a lot of money, but they will be here to present that. So if you have anything else for the agenda, please let me know.
[30:38] Ask them about it.
[30:40] Well he's here.
[30:41] Well, you could do whatever. He will be here. Okay. Um. And that's all I have. And, you know, thank you for everybody that came. And, uh, it's a very nice night out there. We can leave early. This is early for us. Okay. I'm done.

[31:05] Yeah, I just want to say Happy Labor Day coming up, uh, this coming Monday, for one thing. And I also want to thank Carlton Durham, Mr. Durham over there for your patience and thank you. That's it.
[31:23] Third Ward Alderwoman Hilary Rowe.
[31:25] I don't have a lot. Thanks for coming. School starts Tuesday, so watch out for all those E bikes and scooters and children on Tuesday because they will be out in full effect. Thank you.
[31:36] Great alderman at Large Joe Levy.
[31:39] Nothing really. I mean, we're in the months that start with Bir now, so, uh, you know, it's going to be getting darker sooner, so just pay attention when you're out there with the kids going back to school and kids still playing outside. And, and hopefully we have a nice fall. And it's not an early white stuff. So, so I didn't say it out loud.
[32:01] Alderman at large Tom Murphy, any closing comments?
[32:04] I have nothing to say.
[32:08] Air. Austin. Tyler.
[32:10] Thank you. Council president thank you, everyone for attending. Um, a lot of notes. We will address them the best of our ability. Uh, just a couple items. Um, Payne and Meadow, the construction there. I'm sure many are aware, uh, that will bleed into the school year, unfortunately. And I think I mentioned to some of you the delays besides the private owner that our city attorney had to battle with over years. Um, a poll couldn't get removed or moved because the FIFA right games. So I guess one of the companies would refuse to move it until the FIFA soccer was all over. So, um, so I have alerted the school superintendent. You know, worst case scenario, if um it's not drivable, they will be alerted. Just letting you know it's probably going to bleed. Um, you know, into October. Um, but that is a big project. It'll be great when it is finished. Um, Sweeney Street, our city engineers met with the contractor that, um, you all voted on, uh, the low bid. And if they can finish this job elsewhere, they have another job. It could be any day now. Um, they said at the latest about, I think a week or two they would start. It's about a five day job assuming there's no massive rain. Um, but it should be wrapped up shortly enough. And I know we are all very eager. Um, and just speaking on, uh, kids back in school, I did authorize the chief to, um, add a crossing guard at Meadow and Nash. So, um, you'll see that there's any questions regarding those. I believe we're going to be looking to hire a couple, uh, additional crossing guards in general. I think some are left or so on. So we'll put the word out. Um, and Donnie's caught me on the, the flock camera piece, so.
[34:12] Um, gave.
[34:13] It to me late.
[34:14] But well that's okay. So I did sit in on a discussion with the chief, um, some of his officers and, uh, representatives from flock and they educated us on a lot of the information, uh, regarding flock. So I said, why don't you, regardless of what's happening in North Tonawanda and the recent legislation or rescission of, uh, previous resolution to come in and just sort of explain things to the public, I thought it would be great education wise. And if anyone made it today to the community day at the City Market, shout out to, uh, Crystal Prince, our market manager for organizing was wonderful. I would not ride a horse. I refused to, but, um, there were a ton of kids. It It's a great time. A lot of great groups like the Erie Niagara Exchange Club, uh, a bunch of vendors. So thank you to everyone who came out for that as well. That's all I got. Thank you.
[35:13] Wonderful. And I don't have any additional comments. I'm looking forward to back to school. And thank you all for coming. Local government works best when people are informed, and the best way to stay informed is to come to the meetings the first three Tuesdays of the month. So we appreciate the attendance so that when there's conversations happening out in the community, you are the informed community members who can help keep everybody in the loop. So thank you for coming.
[35:43] All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carried.
