STAFF REPORTS:
Police Dept.: Nothing to report this evening.

Department of Public Works: Nothing to report this evening.

Recreation Dept.: Recreation Superintendent Josh Haeick said his department, along with students and
volunteers from both Hamburg and Frontier High Schools, the HHS Finance Academy, and the Service
Collaborative of WNY, will be distributing door hangers in the next couple of weeks for the 15th annual
MLK Food Drive. Josh said food insecurities continue to be an issue in our area, and he is hoping a
another friendly “paws vs. claws” competition brings a lot of donations from this district-wide effort.
Residents can leave their bag(s) of non-perishable goods at the end of their driveway on Monday,
January 19 and volunteers will pick them up. Food can also be dropped off at the HHS gymnasium
entrance. Kickoff begins at 8:30 a.m. in the HHS cafeteria.

FURTHER PUBLIC EXPRESSION: None this evening.
