8. (continued)
Padraic Walsh played a short video describing the event that, if approved, will be held in July 2017 at the West Seneca Soccer Complex. All costs involved with the event are the sole responsibility of the GAACYC so there will be no cost to the town. Mr. Walsh commented on the positive economic impact this will have on the Buffalo area, noting the event will attract 18,000 people for up to five days.
Councilman Hart questioned why the West Seneca Soccer Complex was chosen. Mr. Walsh responded that they believe this venue fits their needs and is above and beyond what any CYC has to offer. He further stated satellite parking has not yet been decided, but they have been looking at West Senior High School and Southgate Plaza.
Councilman Hanley questioned when a formal announcement will be made and Mr. Walsh responded he was hoping for St. Patrick’s Day, but it may not take place until April.
Supervisor Meegan thanked Mr. Walsh for choosing West Seneca and commented this is an exciting opportunity for the town and WNY. She further stated Town Attorney John Fenz will be in contact for additional conversations and urged passing the resolution to allow negotiations to begin.
Councilman Hart suggested adopting the resolution contingent on a satisfactory rental agreement, providing adequate insurance, filing a security plan with Chief Denz and implementation of remaining responsibilities as outlined in the proposal.
Motion by Councilman Hart, unanimous second, to adopt a resolution approving the Buffalo Fenians GAA application and proposal authorizing the use of the West Seneca Soccer Complex for the GAA Continental Youth Championship to be held from approximately July 24 – 31, 2017, noting approval of the use of the soccer complex for the championship is contingent on the successful completion of a satisfactory rental agreement between the Buffalo Fenians and the Town of West Seneca, providing of adequate insurance as determined by the town, filing of a security plan with the Chief of Police and implementation of the remaining or yet to be determined responsibilities as outlined in the proposal provided the town on January 21, 2015.

Motion by Supervisor Meegan, seconded by Councilman Hanley, to open the public hearing.
Ayes: All Noes: None Motion Carried
Mark Subjeck stated his proposal to park new and used cars at 199 Lein Road, noting there will be no truckload delivery of vehicles. Cars will be driven in and out by employees of the Transitowne dealership, but they will not be selling cars on the premises. Mr. Subjeck stated this is a temporary use of the property to store vehicles, particularly during the winter to allow room for snow removal.
Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber noted concerns from a resident of Lein Road regarding screening and public view of vehicles and stated the proposal for parking cars is less intrusive than what was previously at this location. Also, the cars are not visible from Lein Road.
Supervisor Meegan noted a concern about speeding and asked that Mr. Subjeck ensure the Transitowne employees adhere to the speed limit on Lein Road.
Tom Keenan questioned if approval of this special permit opened up the use of the property to anything else and Mr. Schieber responded if the use ceases for more than a year, the special permit is lost.
David Monolopolus questioned how long this “temporary use” is for.
Mr. Subjeck responded that Delevan Industries is currently for sale and he is certain when it is sold the new owners will not want the cars parked there. He further stated he did not realize a special permit was required when he offered to park cars there for Transitowne.

ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC
PUBLIC “GAG ORDER” (continued)
Town Attorney John Fenz agreed that members of the public have the right to free speech. He added that the Town Board is an executive body that represents the town and Supervisor Meegan is the chairperson of Town Board meetings. The Town Board is not required to have people speak at Town Board meetings; they are required to allow people to speak at public hearings. The board members can allow public comments and questions at Town Board meetings, but it should be in an orderly and constructive manner. The Chairperson also has the authority to make the rules.
Dale Clarke commented on the “gag order” put on the public.
Councilman Hart stated that the board has listened to Mr. Clarke on the same issue for months and asked Mr. Clarke to move on to something else. He further stated Mr. Clarke was given the opportunity at the last meeting to ask questions and he was more than willing to answer them.
STREET LIGHTS
David Monolopolus commented the total number of street lights out is over 200. He supported Councilman Hanley’s idea of putting money in escrow until street lights are repaired.
Councilman Hart stated he was told by the electric company that a crew is not sent out to make repairs until a number of lights are out so it is more cost effective.
Karen Lucachik stated she wrote to the Public Service Commission informing them the town is not getting proper service from NYSEG.
Linda Toy suggested the utility bill be prorated if lights are out.
Supervisor Meegan stated town officials have contacted NYSEG and suggested the public contact state officials for help with this issue.
Amy Carpenter commented the Town of Clarence website has a NYSEG form to report street light outages and potholes.
Supervisor Meegan responded that according to an Investigative Post report, the Town of West Seneca website is ranked highest among 13 local municipalities.

ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC
OPEN MEETINGS LAW
Karen Lucachik commented on items being added to the Town Board agenda and did not believe this was in accordance with the Open Meetings Law. She stated a resolution was presented by former Councilwoman Bove to have no additional add on items on the agenda after it is finalized and the current Town Board should abide by that resolution.
ZONING BOARD PROCESS
Karen Lucachik questioned why Schwabl’s electronic specialty sign was on the January 12th Town Board agenda prior to being on the January 28th Zoning Board of Appeals agenda.
Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber indicated there was a discrepancy due to an apartment building next to the site which is considered commercial use, but the people living in the apartments could be affected by the sign. The applicant was advised to seek a variance in this case to allow adjoining neighbors the chance to speak for or against the sign.
Councilman Hart noted the Town Board ultimately approves these types of signs.
WATER ISSUES ON BONCROFT DRIVE
Doug Pearce commented on an ongoing problem with water breaks on Boncroft Drive. The supervisor on the job stated he has serviced forty-eight (48) breaks on the street. He also informed Mr. Pearce that part of the street is owned by Erie County Water Authority (ECWA) and part by the Town of West Seneca.
Supervisor Meegan agreed that a portion of this street is owned by ECWA and a small portion is owned by the Town of West Seneca. They are doing everything possible to make repairs so the lines can be turned over to ECWA and they hope to move forward with this before the year end. She added the town is not responsible for the repairs, but offered to contact ECWA on behalf of Mr. Pearce to relay his concerns.
BI-WEEKLY RECYCLABLE PICKUP
Amy Carpenter questioned if an investigation has been done regarding bi-weekly pickup of recyclables and Supervisor Meegan responded no.

Town Attorney John Fenz responded that an agreement is about to be signed by the Bishop which will allow access to the inside of the building to start the inspection period.
Susan Kims questioned if a cost analysis is being done that will look at the purchase price, cost of renovation, etc.
Supervisor Meegan responded that a business plan is being put together with engineers going in to give the cost of renovations to compliment the business plan.
ZONING BOARD CHAIRMAN
Dale Clarke requested an answer to the Ethics Committee question asked at a previous meeting.
Supervisor Meegan read Councilman Hanley’s response indicating the Ethics Committee investigated the accusation and determined that no violation occurred and the matter will not be pursued further.
Mr. Clarke questioned how an elected official could see nothing wrong with violating the Ethics Code by accepting a gift over $75. Mr. Clarke felt it important to note that Councilman Hanley replaced a qualified individual on the Zoning Board with Mr. Elling.
David Monolopolus questioned how long an elected or appointed official has to sign the book.
Town Clerk Jacqueline Felser responded the oath of office is 30 days. Mr. Elling signed the oath book within 30 days, but did not sign the Code of Ethics until May. Councilman Hanley also noted the Code of Ethics was not presented to Mr. Elling when he was appointed.
Susan Kims commented that when the Ethics Committee gives an advisory opinion to the Town Board, the entire board acts on it not just one councilman. Mrs. Kims further stated she submitted a FOIL request for Mr. Clarke’s questions at a previous meeting and it was not dated or signed as per the original instructions.
Supervisor Meegan stated that as a board, they have not made any decision and are waiting for a recommendation from the Ethics Committee. At that point, they will go forward. Supervisor Meegan further noted that Mr. Clarke handed the question card to her and asked that she give it to Councilman Hanley.

Councilman Hart responded the next meeting is Tuesday, January 27th, at 7 P.M. at the Burchfield Center. Also scheduled that evening at 7 P.M. is an Environmental Commission meeting as well as a sub-committee meeting at 6 P.M. concerning the proposal for a new tree ordinance.
PART-TIME SEASONAL EMPLOYEES

VOLUNTARY DRIVERS
Susan Kims commented that the Town of Eden has volunteer van drivers for their senior center.
Supervisor Meegan advised that no one can voluntarily operate a vehicle according to the town’s insurance policy. This would create a huge liability exposure which the town cannot afford.
