REGULAR BOARD MEETING  TOWN HALL
JUNE 17, 2026  7:30 P.M.

  Councilman Stephan  Yes
five (5) Yes  Carried

Reports and Presentations:

Highway Superintendent Telaak reported on the following:
  Expressed appreciation to the Board for approving Daniel Novoa's
  appointment, he is expected to be a strong addition to the department.
  The fuel tank system installation has been completed. Existing personnel
  and vehicles previously registered in the old system are ready to use the
  new system; however, any new trucks or personnel will need to be set up
  in person with staff member Jordan on Mondays, Tuesdays, or
  Wednesdays between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
  Over the past few weeks, the highway crew oil and stoned approximately
  eight miles of roads, with favorable results. He emphasized the
  importance of ongoing road maintenance, without surface treatment
  roads deteriorate rapidly due to road salt, moisture, and the declining
  quality of asphalt. He observed that Boston State Road, paved
  approximately twelve years ago in 2014, was milled this week in
  preparation for repaving, without continued maintenance the same
  outcome can be expected in another twelve years.
  Millings obtained from the Boston State Road project would be directed
  toward improving the parking lot area near the football field. Scott in the
  Parks department would like to make the parking lot better.

Councilwoman Selby reported on the following:
  Extended Father's Day wishes to all fathers in the community and
  encouraged residents to attend the Lions Club chicken barbecue on
  Father's Day. She also offered congratulations to Shane Quinlan, husband
  of Sandy Quinlan, on his retirement after more than 30 years of service to
  the Hamburg Central School District.

Councilman Penders reported on the following:
  Echoed Father's Day sentiments and no additional report items for the
  month.

Councilman Stephan reported on the following:
  Working to establish contact with residents regarding property
  easements in order to address a drainage issue in Town, noting that
  cooperation from property owners will be essential to moving that effort
  forward. He also encouraged residents to visit the local library and take
  advantage of its programming and resources.
