Re: 2026 Seasonal Help F/T

Dear Board Members:
With the current workload of the Engineering Department, | am recommending supplementing our staff with full-time
seasonal help. As in the past our department hires high schoo! graduates or college students who are planning on
continuing their education in the field of engineering to assist our staff with surveying, engineering evaluations/calculations
and engineering drafting.
Gavin Forant is a bright young individual who is dedicated and eager to learn. He recently completed a non-paid
internship through his school with the Engineering Department and was able to catch on quickly and was very helpful. He
has received excellent recommendations, and | feel he will be an asset to the Engineering Department.
Funds have been allocated in the 2026 budget for seasonal help in the Engineering Department.
|, therefore, recommend that you approve Gavin Forant, * for a full-
time seasonal position in the Engineering Department for a maximum of 13 weeks beginning June 15, 2026, at a wage
rate of $17.00 per hour.

Re: Memorandum of Agreement for the
Western New York Stormwater Coalition
Dear Board Members:
| have attached the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for continuing our membership with
the Western New York Stormwater Coalition. The Town has been an active participant in the
Coalition for over twenty years and has benefited from working with the Coalition and its
accomplishments. The Town signed the original Memorandum of Agreement on December
21, 2005, October 20, 2010, November 4, 2015, and October 20, 2020.
The Coalition has assisted the Town with the six management controls:
1.) Public Education and Outreach; Stormwater brochures and pamphlets, posters,
displays for public meetings, banners, web pages, web banners, billboards,
training, and school programs.
2.) Public Involvement/Participation; cleanup events, community meetings, &
stakeholder meetings.
3.) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination; mapping of Town outfalls, training,
provided template for local ordinance, secured grant money for training, testing
equipment and mapping projects, & set up inspection guidelines.
4.) Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control; provided templates for local
ordinance, stormwater pollution prevention plans, and review of stormwater plans,
training of Town staff, local developers and contractors.
5.) Post Construction Management; provided templates for inspection of post
construction stormwater practices, & training.
6.) Stormwater Management for Municipal Operations; assist the Town in listing
municipal operations/facilities that contribute to MS4 stormwater systems, training
Municipal staff on stormwater maintenance practices, perform assessment of
Town stormwater facilities, & provided template for inspection of Town facilities.
In addition to the six minimum controls listed, the Coalition has been able to secure grants
through the NYSDEC on behalf of the 41 members that make up the Coalition.
As you know, the Town must continue to fully implement the Stormwater Phase II six
management practices that are required by the New York State Department of Environment
and Conservation (NYSDEC), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The
Engineering Department has been working on the six management controls that are part of
the Stormwater Phase I! requirements with the Coalition.

The MOA (attached) is the document that will continue work with the Coalition and
establishes the rights and responsibilities of members, including final cost obligations. The
By-Laws attached are the rules that will govern the conduct of the Coalition proceedings and
other administrative matters. Key provisions of the MOA and By-Law section include
Meeting By-Laws (Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3) for the annual meeting and regular monthly
meetings, Adoption of By-Laws (By-Law section 7.1, 3.8.4), Voting Procedures (MOA
Sections 3.B, 3.C; By-Laws Section 3.8), Representation (MOA Section 3.A; By-Laws
Section 2.1), and Financial Obligation of Members and Fiscal Policies of the Coalition
(Sections 5.A, 5.B Appendix A; By-Law Section 4.5C, 6.1, 6.2).
As a member of the Coalition, the Town has benefited greatly, and the continued
participation within the Coalition will only aid the Town in achieving many of the required, or
future mandated stormwater management practices required by NYSDEC & EPA. The
proposed participation fee is $2,000 per Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4’s)
per year.
I, therefore, recommend that you authorize the Supervisor to sign the Memorandum of
Agreement for the Western New York Stormwater Coalition and authorize the Town to pay
the annual membership participation fee of $2,000 per year until December 31, 2030.

Dear Mr. Bieler:
We are pleased to provide the following proposal for traffic engineering services related to a speed limit study

Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and NYS Supplement; New York State Department of Transportation
(NYSDOT) requirements; and our experience and familiarity with similar studies. A technical letter will be
prepared for general review and approval purposes. The following outlines the proposed work scope.

b. Abbott Rd from Milestrip Rd (NY-179) to Southwestern Blvd (US-20)
c. Abbott Rd from Southwestern Blvd (US-20) to Big Tree Rd (US-20A)
SCOPE OF SERVICES: ANALYSIS
Task 5. Prepare existing lane geometry and average daily traffic volume diagram for the study area that
illustrates traffic data derived from the most recent information available.

standards.
Task 7. Any planned changes in intersection or roadway geometries will be included in the background
traffic conditions analysis.
Task 8. Provide analysis and recommendations for lowering speed limits in each segment of Abbott Rd.
