WEST SENECA COURT ROOM  TOWN BOARD
1250 Union Road  Minutes Meeting # 2026-16
West Seneca, NY 14224  August 24, 2026

- Request for bids were requested from multiple greenhouses in and around town in February and
some declined to bid
- Multiple bids were received according to the procurement process and published with the April 13,
2026, Town Board meeting
- In his opinion, the speaker has offended many entities
- Town departments including the Highway and Buildings and Grounds Departments have watered
the planters throughout the summer

Supervisor Dickson expressed disgust that a certain political party had decided to have a political
vendetta against the Civic and Patriotic Commission. The volunteer commission has served the town
for over 50 years and contributed in many ways to the residents of the town. In fact, the current Town
Board has made efforts to improve the Civic and Patriotic Commission.

Councilmember Robertson stated Councilmember Sherman has an excused absence and all Town
Board members are respectful of their commitment to the residents of the town. Further, making
sweeping generalizations is irresponsible.

Councilmember Robertson asked Deputy Supervisor Greenan if she was aware of the possibility of
public comments through YouTube and whether there has been a change in participation. Deputy
Supervisor Greenan stated she was able to see how many views there were during the meeting and
can inquire if public comments are possible. Further, it would be a Town Board decision to allow
comments. Supervisor Dickson reiterated again that there are countless ways to communicate with
the Town Board.
