On the question, Councilwoman Bove questioned if Mike Farrell was still being paid by the town and if he had submitted a retirement letter.

Supervisor Piotrowski responded that Mr. Farrell was no longer being paid by the town. He understood that Mr. Farrell had discussed with his attorney having the town proceed with a Section 74 and had withdrawn his retirement request.

Councilman Clarke suggested that the reason for tabling an item be given so that all the board members were aware and could answer any questions that came up.

8-B   TABLED ITEMS

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to terminate Christina Serchia and Robin Reczek as part-time Recreation Attendants effective April 11, 2008 and authorize the Supervisor to complete and sign the necessary forms for Erie County Personnel.

4.   Removal of unsafe conditions at 53 Wichita Road

5.   Removal of unsafe conditions at 146 Aurora Avenue

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to remove Item #4 from the table.

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilman Clarke, to conduct a hearing for removal of the unsafe conditions at 53 Wichita Road, noting that the conditions set forth in Chapter 57 of the Town Code were met without any responsible person replying.

On the question, Councilman Graber stated that Code Enforcement Officer William Czuprynski had advised that the next step in the process would be to advertise for bids for demolition of the house.

Councilwoman Bove stated that there was nothing with her agenda concerning this item and she thought that in the future information on the tabled items should be included to make it easier to follow.

Supervisor Piotrowski commented that the Town of West Seneca never had a set procedure for demolition of delinquent properties. The City of Buffalo had an ideal system for this and he would be meeting with one of the Judges, the Code Enforcement Officer and the City of Buffalo to set up a similar procedure so the town did not incur any costs in the future.

Councilman Clarke stated that there were questions as to why these items were tabled at the previous meeting and he did not know the reason for the tabling motion. He asked that in the future all the board members be made aware of the reason for tabling an item, if possible.

Supervisor Piotrowski responded that any of the board members or residents could contact him if they had any questions concerning why an item was tabled.

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to amend the previous motion and remove Tabled Item #4 & #5 from the table in order to conduct a hearing to consider removal of the unsafe conditions at 53 Wichita Road and 146 Aurora Avenue.

Barbara Milan, 61 Wichita Road, stated that the house at 53 Wichita Road had been empty for ten years. There were broken windows, rats and birds inside the house, and the 30,000 gallon water tank had leaked.

8-B   TABLED ITEMS

4 & 5.    (continued)

Supervisor Piotrowski stated that he had visited both properties and was aware of their condition. He did not believe situations like this would happen once the new procedure was in place.

Patricia Zeman, 51 Wichita Road, stated that she had been speaking with Fire Inspector John Gullo about the house at 53 Wichita Road and she understood the town was looking at other options for the property.

Supervisor Piotrowski responded that they had considered other options for the property, but it was decided that the house should be demolished.

Brian Wirth, 42 Westminster Road, thought it was a good idea to demolish both houses and noted that these types of properties pulled other property values down. He urged the Town Board members to be more proactive to prevent properties in town from getting to a state of total disrepair and suggested that the Code Enforcement Officers issue citations to absentee and delinquent landlords.

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to demolish the structures at 53 Wichita Road and 146 Aurora Avenue.

2.   Supervisor Piotrowski re Resignation of Andrew Jarczyk

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to table this item.

On the question, Councilwoman Bove questioned why this resignation was being tabled.

Supervisor Piotrowski responded that Mr. Jarczyk contacted him late this afternoon and asked that his resignation be tabled.

Councilwoman Bove understood that this was the second resignation letter Mr. Jarczyk had submitted and suggested that he make up his mind what he wanted to do by the next Town Board meeting.

Councilwoman Meegan was not aware of any other resignation letter from Mr. Jarczyk and understood there was a lot of unfinished business at the Burchfield Nature and Art Center (BNAC). She commented that Mr. Jarczyk was a very conscientious employee, but he was faced with a number of obstacles at the BNAC and was upset by some things that were going on there. Councilwoman Meegan commented on the great job Mr. Jarczyk did at the BNAC and did not want to see him resign.

8-C   COMMUNICATIONS

2.    (continued)

Councilman Clarke stated that he was not aware of any of this and questioned why Councilwoman Meegan had not informed the other board members.

3.   Supervisor Piotrowski re Ride for Missing Children

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to table this item.

ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC

ISSUES AT BURCHFIELD NATURE & ART CENTER

Louise Schoene, 295 Schultz Road, asked the Town Board to reinstate the three positions at the Burchfield Nature & Art Center (BNAC) and that they no longer be political appointments, but advertised and open to any resident qualified for the positions. She further suggested that the persons appointed to these positions report to the BNAC Board, not the Recreation Department or any individual board member.

Dolores Stefanacci, 28 Organ Crescent, a former employee of the BNAC, referred to the positive comments she had received about the BNAC from people all over Western New York that had visited the facility. She commented that it was a beautiful park and hoped the Town Board would do whatever they could to help keep it that way.

Ann Tworzydlo, 4256 Clinton Street, stated that she was a BNAC volunteer and over the last two years the volunteers had been inspired by Andrew Jarczyk. He gave them some direction, they worked together for the first time, and they enjoyed working. Mrs. Tworzydlo noted that the volunteers were not paid by the town, but they should be treated with some respect.

APPOINTMENTS TO WEST SENECA ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION

Gary Oosterhoudt, 16 Carol Drive, Chairman of the West Seneca Environmental Commission, requested clarification on an earlier motion concerning appointments to the Commission.

Councilman Graber responded that individuals appointed to the Commission served a designated term and they had never been reappointed. This was simply an administrative formality.

Amy Carpenter, 406 Woodward Crescent, questioned if the appointments to the West Seneca Environmental Commission would be staggered.

Supervisor Piotrowski stated that the members’ terms would be staggered. When the item to appoint Evelyn Hicks was submitted for the agenda, he found that the previous Town Board had not reappointed any of the members, so there were eight vacancies.

REMODELING OF SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER

Lorraine Jansen, 90 Suburban Court, complimented the Town Board on the remodeling of the West Seneca Senior Citizens Center, noting that it was becoming bright and cheerful, most attractive, and a center to be proud of.

Brownie Michalczak, 211 Warren Avenue, President of the Board of Directors for the West Seneca Senior Citizens Center, thanked Councilwoman Bove for getting the project going and all the board members for their support.

Enid Sweet, 99 Winspear Road, thanked the Town Board for remodeling the senior citizens center but noted that they were promised new tables and chairs and had not yet received them. She understood that they were purchased and questioned why they were not able to use them.

Councilwoman Bove advised that they were not purchasing new tables, but they had purchased new chairs and the old chairs had to be moved to the Ice Rink.

Highway Supt. Patrick Finnegan stated that there were some issues at the Ice Rink where the old chairs would be stored.

ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC

REMODELING OF SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER    (continued)

Mrs. Sweet asked for a completion date for the curtains, floor and new chairs.

Councilwoman Bove stated that the completion date depended on when the old furniture could be moved out and she asked Mr. Finnegan when he anticipated that would happen.

Mr. Finnegan responded that they had one more inspection at the Ice Rink and he anticipated they would be able to move the furniture in a week or two.

Mrs. Sweet questioned if the dance floor would be finished at that time.

Councilwoman Bove stated that she was informed by the Buildings & Grounds Department that there was a hold on the dance floor because they might have hit the threshold for the budget. The cost would be $950 plus the cost of the glue and the Town Board would have to vote to approve that expenditure.

Mrs. Sweet questioned the salary of the new Director of Senior Services and suggested that the new floor be paid for out of that line item since there was no one in this position for the first four months of the year.

Supervisor Piotrowski responded that the Town Board would consider Mrs. Sweet’s suggestion.

Tom Trimper, 14 Pine Valley Court, commented on a recent article in the Buffalo News concerning AmeriCorps. He was supportive of the AmeriCorps and recognized the good things they did but did not believe their funding should be included in the town budget. Mr. Trimper suggested that the AmeriCorps funds be kept separate from town funds.

WESTMINSTER ROAD ISSUE

Brian Wirth, 42 Westminster Road, thanked the Town Board, Chief Gehen, and Code Enforcement Officer William Czuprynski for their assistance with the neighborhood problem on his street. The residents noticed and appreciated the increased police presence, and they were thankful that the code violations had been rectified.

TOWN BOARD WORK SESSIONS AND TRAINING OF BOARD MEMBERS

Paula Minklei, Orchard Park Road, referred to an article in the April 24th issue of the West Seneca Bee stating that the West Seneca Town Board unanimously decided to permanently close the West Seneca satellite of the Department of Motor Vehicles, and also, an article in the April 25th issue of the Buffalo News stating that West Seneca was taking steps to separate WNY AmeriCorps from town government. Mrs. Minklei was concerned because she had heard no discussion on these two issues at open Town Board meetings, and she questioned how the Town Board could unanimously decide on an issue that had not been discussed at an open meeting or how Supervisor Piotrowski could state, “We don’t think this is how AmeriCorps should be run,” when the issue was not discussed at an open meeting. Mrs. Minklei commented that each of the board members were elected by the citizens of West Seneca to represent the best interests of the community and it was each members’ responsibility to ensure that all board members participated in an ongoing discussion in open meetings. Mrs. Minklei was also concerned about training for the board members and referred to two presentations recently given by the Director of Environmental Law and Policy clinic of the State University of New York at Buffalo. She commended the West Seneca Environmental Commission for hosting these meetings and stated that they provided information for proper review of the SEQR application to mitigate potential liabilities for the town and information

ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC

TOWN BOARD WORK SESSIONS AND TRAINING OF BOARD MEMBERS   (continued)

regarding adoption and implementation of a conservation subdivision plan, including a model ordinance developed for West Seneca based on one of the goals of the Master Plan. Mrs. Minklei noted that several members of the Elma Town Board attended the meetings, but only Councilwoman Bove attended both the meetings and Deputy Town Attorney Paul Notaro attended the conservation subdivision plan meeting. Based on the information given at the meeting, Mrs. Minklei did not believe that the Town Board had been complying with SEQR. She commented that it was imperative that the Town Board and Planning Board members become informed to prevent or mitigate potential liabilities to the town and its taxpayers. Mrs. Minklei stated that at the last Town Board meeting she had requested a public meeting to provide an overview of the Master Plan and its goals and priorities, and she questioned if anyone had given any thought to her request.

Supervisor Piotrowski responded that Work Sessions were scheduled for before and after most Town Board meetings and Mrs. Minklei’s request would be addressed at one of those sessions. He further noted that under the Open Meetings Law, anything concerning contract negotiations or leases and real estate could be discussed in Executive Session. The satellite office of the Department of Motor Vehicles was a negotiation with the Department of Motor Vehicles and there were legal issues involved.

Mrs. Minklei thought there should have been some discussion at the Town Board meetings even if the contract discussion was held during an Executive Session.

Amy Carpenter, 406 Woodward Crescent, commented that the sessions held before and after the Town Board meetings were more informational sessions for the community rather than work sessions. She noted that Executive Sessions could also be attended by members of the public as long as they did not involve personnel issues, and she questioned if the Town Board had any Executive Sessions to discuss issues other than personnel.

Supervisor Piotrowski responded that all the Executive Sessions had dealt with personnel issues.

Ms. Carpenter stated that the public may want to hear what is happening with some issues and even some of the board members acted like they did not know what was going on. Ms. Carpenter commented that it was important to have open government and open communication, and she thought the Town Board was lacking in that regard.

NEW DANCE FLOOR AT SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER

Maureen Berbary, 24 Ganna Court, referred to the vouchers that were approved earlier at this meeting amounting to $35,000 to $40,000 for various items and thought that the Town Board should approve the expenditure for a dance floor at the Senior Citizens Center. She further questioned why the chairs were being moved to the Ice Rink when they would have to be moved again in the fall.

Supervisor Piotrowski advised that the chairs were going to be auctioned along with bicycles from the Police Department and the auction would be held at the Ice Rink.

Mrs. Berbary thought that this should have been communicated to the public. She also questioned an expenditure of $4000 for televisions.

Supervisor Piotrowski advised that the televisions were for the Senior Citizens Center.

Mrs. Berbary again stated that this information should have been communicated to the public, and although it may take a little more time, it would avoid the public having to ask questions afterward.

PRESENTATION OF COMMUNICATIONS BY BOARD MEMBERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS

FIOS SERVICE FOR MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS

Town Attorney Edwin Hunter stated that he needed a list of municipal buildings to be provided free FIOS service to incorporate in the Verizon agreement and Verizon would need this list by Thursday.

Supervisor Piotrowski stated that Mr. Hunter could obtain this list from the Town Clerk’s office.

TITLE CHANGE FOR MARK KERNER TO SEWER MAINTENANCE WORKER

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to terminate Mark Kerner as Motor Equipment Operator in the Highway Department and appoint Mark Kerner as Sewer Maintenance Worker, Group 2, Step 5, at a rate of $22.72 per hour effective May 6, 2008 and authorize the Supervisor to complete and sign the necessary forms for Erie County Personnel.

TITLE CHANGE FOR KEVIN SMITH TO HIGHWAY MEO

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, to terminate Kevin Smith as Highway Laborer and appoint Kevin Smith as a Motor Equipment Operator in the Highway Department, Group 2, Step 5, at a rate of $22.72 per hour effective May 6, 2008 and authorize the Supervisor to complete and sign the necessary forms for Erie County Personnel.

RELOCATION OF DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES

Councilwoman Meegan referred to the Town Board’s decision to close the West Seneca satellite of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and stated that all the board members had discussed this issue. She and Councilwoman Bove had met with Recreation Director Robert Walsh and found that the number of participants in the recreation programs had dropped from 1000 to less than 500. Although the DMV in West Seneca was a great idea, the location was wrong because it took away space from the children and raised concerns over their safety. The traffic was heavy and parking was also a problem.

SEQR INFORMATIONAL MEETING FOR BOARD MEMBERS

Councilwoman Meegan stated that she had planned to attend the SEQR meeting that was recently held, but a conflict developed with the fire departments and their concerns over the senior developments in town. She and Councilman Clarke met with the fire departments at Union Fire Company that evening, but she noted that the town’s planning consultant, Wendel Duchscherer offered the same SEQR informational meeting for Town Board and Planning Board members at no cost to the town.

COUNTY SALES TAX FIGURES

Councilwoman Bove commented on the number of Canadian shoppers in Western New York and questioned the town’s portion of the county sales tax for this year.

Comptroller Robert Bielecki advised that the town budget indicated $4,800,000 in non-property tax distributions by the county.

PRESENTATION OF COMMUNICATIONS BY BOARD MEMBERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS

CLARIFICATION ON WESTMINSTER ROAD ISSUE

Councilwoman Bove referred to the Town Board minutes from the last meeting and the neighborhood problem on Westminster Road. A resident had made a statement that Councilwoman Bove was made aware of the problem and looked into it but was told to back off. She wanted to clarify this and assure everyone that if she is working on something for a resident no one will tell her to back off, and no one had asked her to back off on the Westminster Road issue. Councilwoman Bove stated that she worked with Chief Gehen on that issue and the Police Department did a good job before and after the complaints and would continue whenever there was a problem.

PORTABLE RESTROOMS AT HARLEM ROAD PARK

Councilman Clarke stated that he recently received a call from a resident whose grandchild plays at the park on the west side of Harlem Road, but the restrooms were on the opposite side of the street and the child almost got hit by a car crossing the street to use the restroom. Councilman Clarke commented on the traffic in this area of Harlem Road and the curve in the road and suggested that a portable restroom be placed on the west side of Harlem Road near the playground.

Supervisor Piotrowski suggested that Councilman Clarke look into the cost of his proposal and report back to the other board members.

Councilman Clarke thought this was an important issue and offered to pay for the first month’s rent out of his salary so that it could be installed right away.

APPROVAL OF NEW DANCE FLOOR AT SENIOR CITIZEN’S CENTER

Councilman Graber referred to earlier comments concerning replacement of the dance floor at the senior citizens center at a cost of $950 plus the glue. He stated that the cost was just presented to the Town Board this evening, and after all the other updates they had made, of course the board members would approve this expenditure.

Motion by Councilwoman Bove, seconded by Councilman Graber, to authorize replacement of the dance floor at the Senior Citizens Center at a cost of $950 plus glue.

EXECUTIVE SESSION

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilwoman Meegan, that the Town Board retire to Executive Session to discuss a personnel matter with Chief Gehen.

ADJOURNMENT

Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Councilman Clarke, to adjourn the meeting at 9:00 P.M.
