Um the supervisor is out of town 11 00:00:54,399 --> 00:01:01,359 is out of town out of the country actually celebrating 12 00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:06,560 uh his 30th wedding anniversary. So I'd like to wish Tom and Molly um the 13 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,159 happiest of anniversaries and warm wishes for many more years to come. Um 14 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:16,320 the next item on the agenda is open to the floor. We have two people who've 15 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,400 signed in this evening. One uh Christopher Naka 16 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:23,439 Hi. >> Would you like to get up to the podium 17 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,560 and tell us why you're here to speak? >> Sure. 18 00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:30,880 » It's It's right out there with a microphone and the town seal on it and 19 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,360 we'll need you to give your name and address. Christopher. 20 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,560 » Hi, my name's Christopher Knock. I live at 1065 Shoecraft Road. 21 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,560 » Okay. Since you didn't know where the podium was and you're new at this. 22 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:44,720 » Yeah, >> there is a 5minute limit. 23 00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:52,159 » Okay. I didn't I don't have too much planned or anything to say. Um, I was 24 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:56,720 just coming to listen and watching how all of this went and I had never been to 25 00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:01,200 one before and I kind of just wrote in if I were to say something would be 26 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,040 talking about fast food. But it's really um 27 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:10,319 the the product really isn't 28 00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:16,560 relevant. It's more about the things that are popping up in our town that are 29 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:20,879 crowding our streets and roadways and how expensive it is as someone who's 30 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:27,520 lived here for 37 years. How expensive it is to live here. And then all the 31 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,879 and then all these places that are popping up paying $1,650 an hour with 32 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:39,120 regments closing at midnight and these three places being open till 2. the 33 00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:44,400 people working until two are making 1650 an hour and they're taking on the whole 34 00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:49,840 front load of you know the people in this town coming to get food there and 35 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,800 it's just kind of like sad like what what are we doing with this very 36 00:02:51,760 --> 00:03:02,800 valuable property that we have here to just like let things pop like 37 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:07,040 I just wish I knew that money like do they give you guys I don't know I wish I 38 00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:11,120 had thought about this a little better. Like where does that money go? Like they 39 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,599 obviously want to come in here. You they have to do this meeting with you guys, I 40 00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:19,760 would imagine. Or is it just they buy the property and then do what they want 41 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,080 with it? >> So generally we don't engage in in 42 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,599 conversation and answering questions. I will tell you that none of the fast food 43 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,319 places in town have lined to the pockets of anyone sitting on this board and they 44 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:37,840 and they do come before the planning board. So all of that is really ruled by 45 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:43,920 what the code is and what those properties are zoned for. So there will 46 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,959 be industrial, there'll be commercial, um certainly if they want to put 47 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,239 something in an area where it's not properly zoned, they can go to the 48 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,480 zoning board of appeals to look for a variance. Uh they have to meet certain 49 00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:59,360 criteria for that. So, uh, and all of these 50 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,840 things are being carefully looked at in the new comprehensive plan to determine, 51 00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:09,840 you know, many years ago, we looked at where did where was the best fit for 52 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:14,400 these places in town at the time and and now maybe we're looking at different um 53 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,959 parameters >> with those three buildings being built 54 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:25,360 with the employees that are now lives dependent on those paychecks that I 55 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:29,440 mean, I think it's I think that they're taking on a lot. Those kids that are 56 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,040 working in there, those adults too, you know, everybody has a rough day and 57 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:38,400 might find themselves looking for a new job. And it's just kind of strange that 58 00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:41,520 the only things and that's why when these these guys were talking, I was 59 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,840 like, "All right, well, this is actually something you say 90 years if everything 60 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:48,960 goes wrong." Well, that's okay. Hopefully Webster's here another 90 61 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,560 years. Like, what are we really talking about? But I don't think it'll be here 62 00:04:50,960 --> 00:05:00,320 in the way we see it today if the only things that are popping up pay the 63 00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:04,160 people 1650 an hour because I'm fortunate enough to make a little bit 64 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:10,000 more than that with my rent being $1,300 plus utilities. Like I don't have much 65 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:14,960 to put in the S&P every week. >> The other thing I think I I think I 66 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:21,759 understand the premise of your question. um the cost of not only owning a home 67 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:25,919 but also renting has escalated in the past 5 to seven years tremendously. 68 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:34,400 » Right? So why were >> so one thing that that I I have found I 69 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,720 found out recently because a lot of I worked in the in the skilled trades and 70 00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:41,520 construction company worked in for years. 71 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:47,840 » Yeah. And one thing I realized 72 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,720 when I went to school, we had auto shop, wood shop, electric, 73 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,440 welding, all that. And >> have quite capable facilities for those 74 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,800 trades. >> What we do now, 75 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:01,919 » I mean, I went to Shrader. It was always pretty good there. Their automotive 76 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:08,800 class was always pretty >> intensive. So, I found out recently that 77 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:13,840 Thomas has invested millions in upgrading their shop classes. 78 00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:19,039 » What's happen like 5 years? >> Yeah. Which is phenomenal. 79 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:23,840 And one the other thing I've learned is, you know, there's there's Boseies 80 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:28,240 » and a lot of these >> a lot of the problem a lot of the 81 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:35,199 problems has stem from decades we just focused on sending our kids to college. 82 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:37,919 and we look down on the trades. It's a fact. 83 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,600 » Can I can I interrupt for just a moment? I think the conversation is great. I 84 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,919 don't want to cut into Christopher's 5 minutes in case there's more he wants to 85 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:50,560 say. >> No, I my my general awkwardness and uh 86 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:55,280 current uneasiness back and forth is >> actually fine. Um but I really 87 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,440 questions. >> I understand what you're saying. Um I 88 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:04,800 grew up under middle class. Uh, I worked plenty of trace jobs and things like 89 00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:07,360 that and those are pretty much the highest paying jobs you're going to get. 90 00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:10,560 You're not going to have health insurance. You're going to be getting 91 00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:15,120 paid under the table. So, let's say you want to come in out of the cold and get 92 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:20,720 a job in the town where you work. Now, you're getting paid $1,650 minus taxes 93 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:24,319 and your rent is $1,300 plus utilities and you have maybe have a car so you can 94 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:29,360 get to work. Maybe you want to invest a little bit and it's just it's Jify Loops 95 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,720 and Popeye's. So was, you know, in the grand scheme of 96 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,360 this meeting, nice to hear these gentlemen talking about something real 97 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,160 and not something pretty easy. >> And I and I also hope that one of the 98 00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:44,160 things you heard coming from this meeting is that we have this little 99 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:49,599 project in town called Fair Life. And they are going to be hiring many workers 100 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:53,840 um at well above minimum wage. So there's an opportunity for employment 101 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:59,759 within the town that is going to be uh of a much higher caliber and monetary 102 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,599 reimbursement than what you would see in some of the fast food places. 103 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:08,080 » Yeah. cuz it's it's not fair that these kids are working until 2:00 a.m. Wagg 104 00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:15,280 decides to close at midnight because of CO that is now not a global pandemic and 105 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:19,520 they didn't open back up 24 hours and it's, you know, 18-year-old kids that 106 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,560 are taking on the burden of this town's late night cravings. 107 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,879 » Good points. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. 108 00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:34,080 » Thanks for coming in. Appreciate it. >> And uh Dave Mali, would you like to 109 00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:37,519 take the podium and and I don't think you're new at this. You don't certainly 110 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:40,839 certainly don't need any guidelines. Welcome back. 111 00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:53,600 » I'm Dave Macki. I live in West Webster. I've talked here before about bridging 112 00:08:51,360 --> 00:09:01,120 it. Um I gave a copy of what I'm going to say 113 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:06,720 here to Denine. Bridget 247365. I first heard Bridget in response to the 114 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:10,399 events 40 years ago when the lake road bridge overquake creek was suddenly 115 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:15,600 destroyed. Why doesn't the Webster town board 116 00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:19,440 improve the link to Randquay? The town the town board seems to be 117 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:24,959 ignoring the public regarding the I love. Thank you. 118 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:28,880 » Thank you Dave.

I 179 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:40,800 appreciate the input that I got from uh, from Rick and Paul and um, I did make a 180 00:13:38,959 --> 00:13:44,639 couple suggestions with respect to their proposal. Those changes were made, so 181 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,639 I'm in great appreciation for that. So, I'm ready to move ahead. Okay. Thank 182 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,560 you. And and um >> could could I say something? Could for 183 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:57,440 clarification, Drake, could you explain a little bit about this resolution for 184 00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,240 the viewer? Could you explain Oh, sure. >> this resolution. 185 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:05,360 » Sure. So, thank you. >> This this idea came to light um very 186 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:11,120 quickly about 3 weeks ago when we learned that the deputy commissioner was 187 00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:17,760 um moving on to a different employment and leaving the town. So um in the 188 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:23,760 process he was mostly managing this project alongatus as a you know kind of 189 00:14:20,079 --> 00:14:28,959 a co- team there um I was overseeing the plant but also in this project. So once 190 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:33,360 this happened a lot of these duties will be um taken over by me. So, we thought, 191 00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:36,959 you know what, to assist with someone that's very versed in project 192 00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:42,480 management, also well verssed in energy performance contracting. Um, we thought 193 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:47,120 we'd seek out a um proposal from campus who is um and they kind of so we will be 194 00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:51,440 Paul and I will be overseeing their hours. Um this is a not to exceed, but 195 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:55,360 we we know that we will kind of watch every hour that they're looking at this 196 00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:58,399 project, but just to kind of co-pilot us through the rest of this project to make 197 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,279 sure we stay on time and under budget. So I I the other thing I just point out 198 00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:09,040 with respect to campus is um they they they provide a 199 00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:13,360 construction management u um is what they do and I would point out that they 200 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:20,079 they brought in our highway uh construction project um on time and 201 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:25,839 under budget. They have a a very good track record in the construction 202 00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:31,600 industry of of being very professional in working with the stakeholders to 203 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:36,399 bring their projects in um on time and under budget. So, this is money well 204 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:40,399 spent in as far as I'm concerned and and their record with the town is is 205 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:46,560 self-evident. I think it's also important to point out 206 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:52,320 that this is inside the budget and it is it is being or the compensation for this 207 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,839 or the the the contracted amount is being funded from 208 00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,320 the open position. >> Great great point, Jennifer. 209 00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:02,079 » Thank you. >> Yes. 210 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,480 » We really don't think we're going to come close to the 94,000. 211 00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:10,880 » No. uh you know the project is supposed to be done in July 212 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,040 by early next year there shouldn't be that much going on 213 00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:17,279 » right >> and again I would like to thank Rick 214 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:23,519 because he was he was very honest with us saying that you know he is he is a 215 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:27,199 wastewater treatment plant operator and his main responsibility is for 216 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:33,680 everything that happens at the plant to be sure that we come in um with all of 217 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:38,160 the guidelines that need to be met. And while he was certainly willing to take 218 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:43,360 on any additional work, he was very honest in saying that his his expertise 219 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:50,160 is not necessarily project management. And um we wanted to be very cautious 220 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:56,480 that we weren't um taking advantage of his uh willingness 221 00:16:53,440 --> 00:17:01,279 to do whatever was necessary. So Rick, thank you. We appreciate that. and and 222 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:05,439 with your continued oversight with this this contract that will be coming. Now, 223 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:09,120 we don't have it yet, >> right? 224 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:14,000 » So, this is strictly a proposal. Um, it is important that we get this contract 225 00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:18,400 settled soon because we're already a week without the 226 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:23,679 oversight of this. So, it's very possible that 227 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,640 we'll be getting that contract from campus 228 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:35,280 um and that I might be signing it in the supervisor's absence. 229 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:41,280 I will rely on uh attorney Taylor to approve such 230 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:45,360 contract before I ever consider signing it. 231 00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:48,600 And as such, I don't think I should make this motion. 232 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:55,280 Well, I'll move to authorize the town supervisor or deputy supervisor to sign 233 00:17:53,520 --> 00:18:00,880 a contract with campus construction management to assist the town in the 234 00:17:57,679 --> 00:18:07,440 Navatas $85 million contract through completion for the town of Webster for 235 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:11,760 an amount not to exceed $94,200.

Um 244 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,919 is there anybody that'd like to provide some color to this perhaps? Paul. Yeah, 245 00:18:51,679 --> 00:19:02,640 for many years the town has purchased uh gas electric through this window county 246 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:09,440 group. Um we found it to be a fair deal seem to be pretty solid in comparison to 247 00:19:05,679 --> 00:19:13,440 the market. So like to continue. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. 248 00:19:11,919 --> 00:19:17,919 I would move to approve the town of Webster's participation in the Monroe 249 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:24,640 County Energy Aggregation Group for the contract period September 1st, 2025 250 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:28,960 through August 31st, 2030 by executing an intermunicipal agreement between 251 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:33,679 Monroe County and the town of Webster. >> Second. 252 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:36,960 » Deputy Supervisor Cataly. >> Councilwoman Wright I. 253 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,039 » Councilman Cahill. >> Hi. 254 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:44,480 » Councilwoman W.
