[0:00] I heard the expectations, but I I was
told by somebody like I was hoping that
[0:03] they would put it in writing. I was
hoping that they would curve curve
[0:06] perpendicular and then I think that they
would do that. Well, I think they're
[0:08] going to, so
[0:11] And that's why that was done by the
Mark Tony and
[0:21] And then he's mostly family, too.
[0:25] Let me know. I told you
I want to see what you've got on
[0:29] We're going to have to
[0:33] They're going to be doing a $50 million
thing.
[0:35] I think it's for three months.
And
[0:39] Yeah.
[0:41] I'll figure out what we're planning for.
[0:45] It's part of what they're doing.
It's a different stuff for job.
[0:49] You know what that was with the arch?
But I just I just wanted to
[0:54] Let Let me know if they
[0:59] You know what
I I I was talking to one of the planning
[1:02] guys.
[1:10] I have a decision to
[1:14] No, I didn't
[1:19] Oh, yeah, maybe
[1:24] First of all, they
[1:27] And that's why the guy is smart.
Drive away like this.
[1:31] This is all what you
[1:35] I don't know.
He said they got to figure out how
[1:37] they're going to do this.
[1:40] We'll spring a
manufacturing down in the form of a
[1:44] mess.
[1:48] So, what they got to try and walk by by

West Palm?
[2:58] Yeah.
[3:04] That is
Did they arrest
[3:18] Well,
there's two ways to do this.
[3:34] So,
we're going this far with him.
[3:44] Basically, I look at him and I'm like,
[3:52] And that's the problem.
[4:11] I can tell that it's previously done.
[4:20] Bring those over.
[4:24] I would pieces that are still good.

>> Keep me on your toes, John. Keep me on
[6:42] your toes.
[6:46] I wish him the best.
But that's what he was all worried
[6:48] about.

[11:37] Any public interest tonight?
Yes.
[11:41] Hi. Hi. How are you? How are you doing?
Good.
[11:49] Hi. How are you? It's good afternoon. Uh
my name is Louise Berger. I represent
[11:52] Love Nail Dispensary uh over on the
Niagara Falls Boulevard. Joe here
[11:57] with the executive director. Actually,
it's 3176
[12:00] Niagara Falls Boulevard. 3176 Niagara
Falls Boulevard.
[12:04] Um I spoke with Matthew Broderick, the
town attorney, uh past few months asking
[12:08] for an extension of Sunday operating
hours.
[12:11] Uh currently, uh
Town of Wheatfield specifically
[12:16] is about 4 and 1/2 hours less than any
other Niagara County uh dispensary and
[12:22] almost 5 and 1/2 hours less than any
dispensary in Erie County. Um
[12:27] We have about at least 40 pages of
patrons with Love Nail who's asked for
[12:32] an extension of hours that we're happy
to provide here in public commentary,
[12:35] but today we're really just looking for
a resolution to pass that we can tell
[12:38] the people we need um
for public comment that it's hopefully
[12:41] extend hours for any dispensaries uh
in the Town of Wheatfield.
[12:47] And I believe and you know, I'm sorry
Matt was off sick today. I know. I'm
[12:51] lucky. Yeah. Um
I think he probably was watching the
[12:55] circle as well.
But it seems to me there was a local law
[12:59] that regulates
the hours of operation for dispensaries.
[13:04] So, if anything, we would have to modify
the local law to open up on Sunday.
[13:09] You know, I don't think the the board
has discussed this.
[13:15] So, I I guess what maybe I could say to
you is that we should discuss this. I
[13:20] wish Matt was here, but unfortunately
he's sick to discuss.
[13:23] Um and and I guess the reasoning is
because of the
[13:27] uh the actual number of dispensaries on
top of that. I know we you currently
[13:31] operate from 12:00 to 5:00, which is
what's permitted but
[13:34] um both of us have state law. Um
the state of New York has no regulation
[13:39] in regards to Sunday operating hours and
town of Fishkill is actually the most
[13:43] strict of any of the localities in the
area. So, the real issue comes into
[13:47] play, especially on things like those
Sunday games and we're on Sunday that
[13:51] 12:00 to 5:00 uh window really impacts
businesses. Um
[13:56] just for reference, you know, we're
talking about the difference between
[13:58] making $400 a day between $1,500 a day.
So, that can really impact a small
[14:03] business and actually this is an area
that small businesses is, you know,
[14:06] marketed and and um you guys have done a
great deal for small businesses and we
[14:11] just are looking to have an extension of
hours from 9:00 to to 9:00 or uh 9:00 to
[14:18] to 8:00. Having a fun, you know, we're
granted here, but
[14:22] um
really it's it's coming to impacted
[14:25] problem for for that Sunday period.
All I can say is that I mean again, I
[14:30] wasn't here. I'm not sure of the
specifics, but I believe it's a local
[14:34] law that regulates so we would have to
modify the local law.
[14:39] And if you would um
give me your name and phone number, I
[14:43] will contact you and we can sit down and
you can tell us your justification why.
[14:49] Sure. And then I can discuss that with
the board and if we feel that action
[14:52] should be taken, we will let you know.
So, I talked to Matthew two days ago. He
[14:56] has already drafted a resolution. So,
would it make the most sense for the
[14:59] three of us to talk and for him to
propose the resolution? Is that
[15:02] something we can do prior to next
month's meeting then we can hold a
[15:06] public comment?
>> we can we can meet and discuss it.
[15:09] Um but as far as doing a formal
resolution, that would have to go to the
[15:13] board meeting.
May I ask if there is uh
[15:16] some adversity to extending the hours?
Um the hours that we haven't discussed
[15:21] it. I personally have no problem it. But
the are board members accept it as a
[15:25] board, so it's it's a voting decision.
Sure.
[15:28] Before we have that meeting, is there
anybody that would like to ask any
[15:31] questions or any questions regarding the
extension or anything that may be
[15:34] helpful
to give a little bit more clarity to
[15:37] this to this extension of hours? Yeah,
good question. Sure. Your website posted
[15:42] this year hours on Sunday were from 9:00
to 7:00.
[15:46] And I think you just recently corrected
it back to 9:00 to 5:00. Yes, uh Were
[15:50] you open to 7:00 on Sundays? No, so when
the original website was first built
[15:55] that during that final inspection
period, that's before you even begin
[15:58] opening. You do that through the OCM and
you know, Julie and I we looked back at
[16:03] the reason it was changed is because
Matt had brought that to our attention
[16:05] and we actually didn't know that that
was the case with the hours.
[16:08] » hours were really to 5:00 and not to
7:00? They were to 7:00, now they were
[16:12] 5:00.
So what site was wrong?
[16:14] Website was wrong and at this point um
we haven't you know
[16:20] any real uh events past 5:00 at this
point.
[16:24] Does anybody else
I do have a question but it doesn't
[16:28] pertain to the old Sure. Go ahead. I had
a couple of residents call me about the
[16:32] lighting at the
corner of Hoover and Wolcott.
[16:35] It's right up near the sidewalk
and they come down Hoover and they can't
[16:39] see the cars coming.
They have I have two residents called.
[16:44] Okay. They said one side you almost have
an accident trying to pull out
[16:47] cuz that big open flag there and
Sure.
[17:03] And they come down Wolcott pretty quick.
Yeah. The cars can't so somebody coming
[17:07] out of there
Hoover is got and Hoover and Wolcott is
[17:11] going to be able to see
the folks.
[17:12] Yeah.
Yeah, there was a fatality at 14 years
[17:16] old and I think it's all down there.
Can't see if they have any lights. I was
[17:20] going
[17:23] I
have no problem.
[17:25] You know, I would I would say this
personally I mean what you're doing is
[17:28] completely legal.
And
[17:31] I will talk to the board members between
now and the next meeting.
[17:35] And
we support all our businesses in the
[17:38] town
and I don't think your request is
[17:41] operational personally. So
again I wish you the best of luck.
[17:49] No, I understand. Thank you for letting
me Thank you.
[17:56] Anyone else?
[18:07] Not as much just
almost wrapped up all of our hot
[18:10] patching for the year or for the spring.
We're going to start actually milling
[18:14] and paving hopefully the end of this
week.
[18:16] We will be spending a lot of time doing
maintenance work on existing roads. Not
[18:21] as much blacktopping as usual because of
the weather we had really beat the roads
[18:25] up.
The only other thing I have and we've
[18:28] been getting calls for these people I
guess you have a few people here but I
[18:31] don't think any of you guys care.
We're actually getting calls for people
[18:35] in their lawns with the grass with these
stupid garbage cans. They don't know
[18:38] what to do with their grass. They call
modern
[18:41] Modern tells me call leaf hills. I am
not collecting grass and they are not
[18:44] coming to my shop. So if you have
neighbors that ask you what to do with
[18:47] the grass tell them to get mulching
blades.
[18:49] Cuz Well, we can suggest composting
mulching lawn mowers and they can take
[18:55] bag it and put it in their compost
thing.
[18:58] Modern told me they won't. Well, I don't
know what to do. Yeah, I know.
[19:01] I I don't
I just in case people ask you guys on
[19:06] the board, you know, what am I supposed
to do with my grass?
[19:08] Those are the only choices. Dumping it
at my shop is not an option.
[19:12] Okay.
And if the bag got to be in the garbage
[19:17] for us.
Right. Besides that, that's all I got.
[19:20] Thank you so much.
[19:23] I was getting a cherry yogurt.
And then you come to the water
[19:26] department, too.
[19:34] Good evening, Anne. Mark will be out
probably for
[19:38] a month or two, so
I'm telling the shoes as best we can. Uh
[19:42] we we've been busy.
We've been busy and like Paul was saying
[19:46] with the weather and everything.
We've been trying to catch up with the
[19:49] last meeting and
the weather is trying to hold us back,
[19:52] but we we've been moving. We've had a
couple of water and sewage taps that
[19:56] we've been working on.
Um
[19:59] drainage issues as usual, but we still
got to do the sewage. We rebuilt that.
[20:04] And the SPCA and the dog unit has been
involved a little bit with
[20:09] that issue, but
trying to resolve it as best we can.
[20:12] They're doing a better job with trying
to keep more of that pet hair and things
[20:16] around. You know, they You know I was
over there.
[20:19] Yeah, Mark had mentioned that.
And I mean, of course I'm a big
[20:22] supporter of anybody who loves animals,
but
[20:25] they're trying to be a little bit better
at making sure they keep what pets they
[20:28] have or looking for Yeah, Mark went out
there as well and got to give them the
[20:32] suggestions, but it seems to be working
for now, so fingers crossed. They're
[20:36] doing great.
You know, I don't
[20:38] see any cats out there as much over
there.
[20:41] Uh
we're going to be doing the seasonal
[20:43] drainage cleaning as well, so the
hopefully we have a few summer help come
[20:49] kids to help with that. They'll rather
than that, they're going to have town
[20:52] IDs and and uh
uniforms as well, so people don't
[20:57] freak out who's in the yard doing that.
We're just doing the seasonal things.
[21:01] Uh the
lead testing has begun.
[21:04] Uh
working with Mr. Zuber there. We're
[21:07] We've got coffee here.
Finals dropped off tonight for tomorrow.
[21:10] We have
two more pickups scheduled for that. So,
[21:13] that that should be taken care of by the
beginning of June.
[21:17] Uh that's the requirement. We're trying
to get that done ahead of schedule.
[21:21] And
um
[21:23] that that's about it. We've been working
with Tim Waltz and also with Ronald.
[21:27] Give my best to Mark and
We'll look forward to it.
[21:30] Thank you.
And you can say hi to Mark for me.
[21:35] And Mike Brunalli was excused tonight
for personal business. First job
[21:39] building permits.
[21:48] Just a couple things. Um
our new guy, he is halfway through his
[21:52] classes, so he is currently uh certified
assistant BSI. Uh a few classes over he
[21:58] is supposed to be a CEO.
And secondly, we began a street cleanup
[22:02] around the town. Uh
we pulled probably
[22:06] I'm going to say nine violations as of
today. And we have
[22:10] a couple cases that are heading to
further
[22:14] um
enforcement. Uh proceed with that.
[22:17] And a couple things that I'm going to
work with Tim on tomorrow. And hopefully
[22:20] this goes well.
Um do you guys have any questions?
[22:24] Is there any way to expedite the
process?
[22:28] Hey and uh First of all, are there any
other issues with the vehicles cycle
[22:31] balance? Yeah, we're we're we're trying
to get all of that. And we're working on
[22:34] it with uh
So, the new people doing that.
[22:37] So, once he goes through his final
process to get certified
[22:40] for
BSI, he can
[22:43] start writing those violations.
So, we can start hitting your guys with
[22:48] understand not versus when it's not

July 1st will be final roll. And so,

change anything. So, if any resident
[23:52] comes in asking, I can't do anything.
They would have to go to the Board of
[23:55] Assessment Review. And that is scheduled

[24:01] Um

[24:59] One more thing today?
[25:02] No worries about
I just want
[25:06] And you want me to you want me to make
it happen for you?
[25:11] Are you ready to get everyone?
Uh we just have two things on our agenda
[25:14] this evening. The first is a planning
board summary from
[25:18] April. Now we're kind of back on
schedule again and we're doing one month
[25:22] at a time here. So
our first meeting April on April Fool's
[25:26] Day
appropriated
[25:28] The first item on that that agenda was a
site plan for Policano's Marketplace.
[25:32] That's been in front of the planning
board several different times.
[25:37] But the applicant is proposing to expand
their existing Policano's Marketplace
[25:40] business at 338 and 3354 Airport
Boulevard.
[25:45] Uh they recently revised their plans and
now propose to move the actual
[25:49] Policano's Marketplace visual building
uh to a new building that's going to be
[25:54] constructed on next door. The new
Marketplace would occupy 18,600 square
[25:59] feet in the new building and it'll
include a 3,000 square foot and 3,600
[26:04] square foot tenant space on either end.
The existing Marketplace building will
[26:09] be extended by a 3,000 square feet and
include a 1,200 square feet of an
[26:12] outdoor eating area.
There's also an additional 10,000 square
[26:16] foot retail building and three pole barn
storage buildings that are proposed in
[26:21] the complex.
The storage buildings would be only for
[26:24] ancillary uses for the businesses that
are in the complex. It's not meant for
[26:29] commercial storage.
The complex will have an additional
[26:33] access point to Airport Boulevard. The
development will be phased and include
[26:37] parking, landscaping, stormwater
management practices to support the
[26:40] overall development.
It's going to remove the two existing
[26:44] curb cuts from the residences that are
in the lot that were acquired next door
[26:49] and uh we've replaced it um with a
modified, expanded
[26:53] single, um, access point.
Parcels are all zoned commercial and
[26:57] fall within the Nitro Industrial Overlay
District.
[27:00] Planning Board continued discussions on
the critical issues and
[27:04] uh, discussed the project's need to
update their project documents, design
[27:08] reports, uh, swept, etc. to come up with
a new layout and configuration of the
[27:13] site.
They were almost complete with the
[27:16] previous, uh, layout, but now they need
to do some adjustments
[27:21] to accommodate the needs that changed
with the fire.
[27:23] So, no action was taken on that project.
The next item was the site plan for
[27:28] Comfort Plastics Addition.
The applicant proposes to construct a
[27:32] 27,000 sq. ft addition to the existing
building at 2107 Liberty Road.
[27:38] Site is zoned industrial and is in the
Airport Potential Impact Area.
[27:42] The addition would be to provide a
additional storage of plastics products
[27:46] at the facility. There is no
manufacturing at the site, just storage.
[27:50] The addition would be in an area of the
site that is currently paved with other
[27:53] back access.
The Planning Board issued a negative
[27:56] declaration of procedure and
subsequently approved the site plan with
[28:00] four conditions.
That's been in front of the board a
[28:03] couple times as well.
[28:06] Last item was the site plan for
Simonton.
[28:09] The applicant proposes to construct a
90,000 sq. ft prefabricated metal
[28:13] building within the footprint of the
recently demolished 345,000
[28:18] sq. ft industrial building and office
space at 6601 MacCorkle Ave.
[28:23] The new building would be constructed to
support industrial
[28:28] industrial ceramic processes.
Site is zoned industrial, general
[28:32] industrial, and falls within the Airport
Zone 1 Overlay and Airport Protection
[28:37] Area, obviously.
Project proposes to restore portions of
[28:41] the impervious site's lawn area to
reduce the impervious coverage we take
[28:45] on stormwater management practices.
Planning board discussed several items
[28:49] including utility capacity, drainage and
coordination with the NFPA, FAA and Air
[28:54] Force Base.
Planning board declared meeting to
[28:58] status under secret motion again
coordination with you.
[29:02] No other action was taken.
That was it for the first meeting and
[29:06] the second meeting for April 15th was
cancelled
[29:10] Sorry.
Uh the second meeting was April 15th but
[29:15] it was cancelled due to lack of agenda
items.
[29:18] So that is our planning board summary
for April. Any
[29:22] questions from anybody on that?
[29:27] So our our only other item is we
have a
[29:32] a memo and some updated fees on our
engineering fee schedule that we're
[29:36] proposing. We have a motion in our
packet for you tonight for that.
[29:39] Uh basically we're proposing an increase
in inspection fees for our engineering
[29:44] fees.
Uh we don't have any on the books or
[29:47] schedule at this point but
our inspection fees are going up so we
[29:51] have to increase that fee from $25 to
$150.
[29:55] And these are fees that are paid by the
developers during construction not by
[29:58] the town.
Uh the other item in there is our base
[30:02] site plan review fees.
Currently $600 we're proposing to
[30:05] increase that to $800.
Uh that's for projects that are under an
[30:09] acre and we can see the influx of those
which
[30:12] we think it's good cuz people trying to
stay underneath the threshold to uh meet
[30:16] the requirements of the state's
stormwater requirements
[30:19] but we're finding that there's many of
the same things that need to be looked
[30:22] at during those site plans as well.
So we have a motion.
[30:26] Uh
We'll leave it at that so you can go to
[30:29] the next That's all we have.
[30:37] Any council remarks on the budget
section? I didn't think tonight did.
[30:41] Um nothing really official but I do want
say that a week ago Friday I had the
[30:45] pleasure of joining our Sheriff's
Department and graduating eight
[30:50] correctional officers.
Six of those were from Niagara County,
[30:54] two from Orleans County.
And when you think about correctional
[30:58] officers today and
the ability to rehire them and retain
[31:03] them is right up there with volunteer
firemen and EMS. It's one of those
[31:10] special things that you just can't hire
anybody. So I was very proud to be there
[31:15] during that graduation. They've done an
outstanding job and we have a list now
[31:19] going for yet another class coming up
there.
[31:23] It's nice to see eight correctional
officers.
[31:31] It was a pleasure hearing some of those
economic development projects,
[31:34] especially Calcano's.
Before I retired when I was commissioner
[31:38] of the county Department of Economic
Development, we worked hard with the
[31:42] folks at Calcano's to help them with
their expansion. And they were just
[31:46] granted an extension of their low-cost
power that the county offers through the
[31:51] Empower Niagara program. So it was great
to hear those great to hear your report
[31:56] on Calcano's.
And and just thanks for being here. I
[31:59] appreciate it.

[35:39] Thank you, Catherine.
[35:44] Board member Fred Ehlers.
Uh it's just one item I have. I sent an
[35:49] email out. The town has outdoor Wi-Fi in
the parking lots
[35:54] connected to the town hall and the
community center.
[35:57] And uh our maintenance renews for the
coming up June today.
[36:02] I sent an email out to the town board
and town department
[36:05] to see how much use it's getting.
And uh
[36:08] we're waiting to get the statistics on
it.
[36:11] It's It's like a little over $400 a year
for the maintenance.
[36:14] So, it's something to question whether
it's
[36:17] worth spending $400 for the maintenance.
So, we're trying to figure out
[36:22] uh who's actually using it. I don't know
if the password will be used or if the
[36:26] sheriff's department or
if they have court right here if people
[36:29] are on their phones. to
get their tickets and parking in the
[36:31] lot.
We have outdoor Wi-Fi and
[36:35] anybody who goes to the using the
internet, you know, they have a little
[36:38] need. I guess it's as long as we can
decide whether or not we keep it or not.
[36:47] Here's
[36:50] Hey, do you use the
statistics inside
[36:54] the radio? We were able to study them
all
[36:56] off the internet, so
it's kind of the same thing really.
[37:01] You know, they they contract with the
instrumental in getting these boards by
[37:05] the end of the COVID process in
2021 and 2022 and
[37:09] then they put them in uh cuz
people
[37:13] needed Wi-Fi to do their computer work
and they couldn't socialize in public,
[37:16] so they figured they'd just go and hang
out in the parking lot in their cars.
[37:20] So, that's that's why we put it in,
but I don't know how much it's being
[37:23] used.
And we're glad you're using it again
[37:26] because
we didn't know if we wanted to pay for
[37:28] If you cut it off, can you get it back
on? We could.
[37:31] But if we don't pay the maintenance, the
licenses will expire
[37:35] and it's due June 7th.
You know, it'll just start charging us
[37:39] monthly.
Well, now we don't have a cellular cuz
[37:43] Wi-Fi is useless at all.
I mean, it's part of the college and
[37:47] nothing. Well, what we're trying to tell
her is, you know,
[37:51] so if we don't get any use at all and we
think we should keep it
[37:58] Does anybody else want to chime in?
[38:02] Any other items?
[38:05] There.
Anything else?
[38:08] What is that?
I've got correspondence from Berkley's
[38:11] fire hall. They want to add dog jacks
through the asphalt. You don't make that
[38:16] motion.
Second. I have a second. All in favor
[38:20] signify by saying aye.
Aye. All those opposed signify Mr. Thank
[38:26] you.
Nothing tonight.
[38:29] Nothing tonight.
Thank you.
[38:42] Mr. Brady, I. I have nothing.
[38:46] I just want to remind all the people out
here in our town employees
[38:51] of the town was mandated that all of our
employees do receive CPR training.
[38:55] And that will take place the
[39:00] here at the town hall.
And
[39:03] I want to say I attended the
CPR training about 6 weeks ago.
[39:08] And it's well worth
[39:11] how things have changed over the years
for CPR training.
[39:14] Well worth it and I think it'll be a
benefit to all of our employees.
[39:19] Also, we're getting ready
We have two constables graduating from
[39:23] the peace officer class.
And I didn't realize how extensive it
[39:28] was.
Uh
[39:30] in fact, this week they're at Buffalo
doing
[39:33] a warehouse actually shooting training.
It's actually pretty intense what they
[39:38] do.
Uh
[39:40] and I I kind of practice
I wish you very, very proud of them
[39:46] and what they do.
So, there's a lot of opportunities
[39:49] there.
I believe the certificate of course is
[39:51] never attained by them.
So,
[39:53] Mr. Brady is doing it the
early December will be their graduation.
[40:01] And that's all I have. Any further
public input?
[40:06] Cathy Nelson.
Um
[40:08] we've had
[40:11] we've had a few calls from residents
regarding the recycling folks.
[40:15] Um we had one today which is
that people are allowed to have two or
[40:20] three recycling totes.
Um, Modern
[40:25] and they can they can only be picking up
one tote. So, the customer the resident
[40:30] calls Modern and Modern says, "Well, our
records show you only have one tote."
[40:34] The town records show that they have two
totes.
[40:37] So, what we learned today is that
um
[40:40] the Modern database for recycling totes
has not been updated.
[40:46] the file was sent to Modern.
The residents can get additional totes
[40:52] recycling totes picked up.
Um, so there's been a lot of confusion
[40:57] about that and we
we've been getting calls. So, we finally
[41:00] resolved what the issue was. So, if the
people call out their recycling totes,
[41:05] they can get the additional totes. They
should be picked up and Modern will pick
[41:12] Well, unfortunately the additional totes
coming in Nope.
[41:16] I guess they're at Modern, but we
haven't seen them yet. That's why I've
[41:19] been telling people if you come in and
get one,
[41:22] I don't know when you're going to get
delivered to your house cuz like I said,
[41:24] we're starting paving and that comes
first. Well, you know, unfortunately one
[41:28] of the one of the departments
uh
[41:30] one of one of the other departments
Michael Nardone already agreed
[41:35] to one of the talks with you all.
Yeah, something that's not a problem.
[41:40] Um,
I'm going to check with Modern tomorrow
[41:43] to see when they're being delivered.
Yeah, sure.
[41:48] Our next meeting is May 18th, 2026 for
bill paying only. The new person will be
[41:53] our regular town board meeting
at 7:00 p.m.
[41:59] Have a motion to adjourn. I'll second.

[42:55] it's a hoarding issue but um
I've been taking various vehicles and
[43:00] bringing them in every day I know

[43:23] building and they said I'm not here for
culture I'm moving I can't be resolved I
[43:27] talked to Gary about it
so I'm working my butt I just
[43:32] I apologize to the town for the mess
it's just I help everybody
[43:39] because I'm always busy in my age I
shouldn't be
[43:43] but
I got to get out of this town
[43:46] and
and then I tried doing too much and I
[43:49] shouldn't bring me back to my property
and and it's by the way you're doing a
[43:52] great job
but um
[43:55] I just asked if you could ask to go in
front of the judge again this July 4th
[43:58] it's just it's
it's not going to be
[44:01] homes in front of the judge again Gary

don't know what to say to
[44:15] all this stuff, but I got to get rid of
the lumber. I tried They the town won't
[44:20] let me take this old lumber I got off
jobs and they don't take their tires no
[44:25] more.
I mean this is the only way I can get
[44:28] rid of this stuff
is probably piling in the woods, but I
[44:32] don't want to do it. I just
I took some lumber off of Daniel's jobs
[44:37] and
you know, it's I apologize to the town.
[44:41] I just asked him to really pardon me. He
didn't need to wipe off
[44:45] family in the front of
the area again because
[44:49] it's not going to help.
He's getting spoiled and sitting in town
[44:54] and I apologize. You know, I mean

[44:59] one the town board
uh

person. All you're doing is helping
[45:06] However, we are not in a position
to force the building department or the
[45:10] court.
I think if anything you need to approach
[45:14] uh the building department with a
request for adjournment. And if the
[45:18] judge doesn't feel that's appropriate,
then they'll continue uh
[45:22] trying to get you to clean up the
property.
[45:24] Okay, but it's not going to happen. And
I'll get a
[45:28] fine down with all the board vehicles
