(ASI) <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 8, 2026 6:28 AM To: Town of Boston Supervisor <[email protected]> Subject: 2026 Statewide Community Regrants (SCR) Decision Dear Town of Boston: The grant review panel for the 2026 Statewide Community Regrants (SCR) grants, along with Arts Services Inc. and its Board of Directors, have completed their review and evaluation of your application for funding. It is with sincere regret that I inform you that your application for Town of Boston Arts Council 2026 Summer Concert Series has not been selected for this round of funding. In addition to arts funding cuts, we received a significant number of requests for funding this year and were only able to fund 20% of the applications based on the funding we had available. Please know this decision has no bearing on the value of the work you are doing for the community. The panel’s feedback on your application is available in the grants portal. You can find the feedback document on your applicant dashboard under "Documents uploaded by Administrator." The comments from the panel provide valuable insight into the grant making process and will allow you to submit a stronger application in the future. 1

All applicants have the right to appeal this decision if they belief the process included bias, improper procedure, or misrepresentation of information. Dissatisfaction with the decision or providing new information are not sufficient reasons for an appeal. Applicants wishing to appeal must submit a formal appeal online through this form. Formal appeals must include: 1. Which of the above grounds you are basing your appeal on. 2. Documentation and evidence to support why your proposal meets one or more of the selected grounds. If you plan to submit an appeal, it must be received NO LATER than 5 pm on Friday, May 15, 2026. NOTE: submission of an appeal does not guarantee a change in the funding decision. A separate appeals panel will review all submitted appeals to determine whether or not they meet New York State's criteria for a successful appeal. Your appeal must be successful and must demonstrate that your score would have been high enough without the bias or staff misrepresentation to warrant funding. Please do not be discouraged! We are here to work with you and help support your artistic endeavors. You can find additional funding resources on our website here. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or require further assistance. We truly appreciate all the incredible work you do for our Western New York community!

TOWN OF BOSTON TOWN OF BOSTON TOWN BOARD A LOCAL LAW EXTENDING MORATORIUM PROHIBITING THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF APPLICATIONS AND ISSUANCE OF PERMITS FOR “BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS” IN THE TOWN OF BOSTON LOCAL LAW NO. 1-2026 Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Boston, Erie County, State of New York as follows: Section 1: Purpose. The Town originally enacted a moratorium pursuant to Local Law 2-2024. The Town thereafter enacted Local Law No. 1-2025 on June 4, 2025 and Local Law No. 4-2025, each which extended the existing moratorium for an additional six (6) months from adoption. The purpose of Local Laws 2-2024, 1-2025, 4-2025 and this local law is to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Town of Boston and to maintain the status quo by extending the temporary suspension of the processing of land use approvals as provided herein and to further suspend the rights of landowners and their designees to obtain development approvals as identified below for a period of an additional six (6) months from the date of the adoption of this local law while the Town Board continues to study, analyze and determine potential appropriate revisions and amendments to the Town Code regarding the propriety of Battery Energy Storage Systems (as defined below). Section 2: Definitions. BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM: A rechargeable energy storage system consisting of one or more devices, including batteries, battery chargers, controls, power conditioning systems and associated electrical equipment, assembled together, capable of storing energy in order to provide electrical energy at a future time, not to include a stand-alone 12-volt car battery or an electric motor vehicle. Section 3: Moratorium. Pursuant to the statutory authority vested in the Town to regulate and control land use and to protect the health, safety and welfare of its residents, the Town Board of the Town of Boston hereby declares a six (6) month extension for the moratorium implemented pursuant to Local Laws 2-2024 and 1-2025 on the review and approval of new as of yet unfiled and any and all pending applications for any and all land use approvals, including site plan approvals, subdivision plats, building permits, special use permits and variances (hereinafter “Land Use Approvals”) for all Battery Energy Storage Systems within the Town.

Page 26

Section 4: Term. The moratorium imposed by this Local Law shall be effective six (6) months from the effective date of this Local Law. Section 5: Hardship waiver. A. Should any owner of property in the Town of Boston affected by this Local Law suffer any unnecessary and extraordinary hardship due to the enactment and application of this Local Law, then the owner of said property may apply to the Town Board of the Town of Boston in writing for a variance from strict compliance with this Local Law upon submission of proof of such unnecessary hardship. For the purposes of this Local Law, unnecessary or extraordinary hardship shall not be considered: 1. the mere concern that regulations may be changed or adopted, or that the Town Code may be amended; or 2. the mere delay in being permitted to make an application or waiting for a decision on the application for a variance, special permit, site plan, subdivision, or other permit during the period of the moratorium imposed by this Local Law. B. An application for an exception based upon unnecessary or extraordinary hardship shall be filed with the Town Clerk no earlier than the effective date of this Local Law, including a fee of Five Hundred and 00/100 ($500.00) Dollars for each tax map parcel claimed to be subject to unnecessary or extraordinary hardship, by the landowner or the applicant upon the consent of the landowner. C. The application shall provide a recitation of the specific facts that are alleged to support the claim of unnecessary or extraordinary hardship and shall contain such other information and/or documentation as the Town Board, shall prescribe as necessary for the Town Board to be fully informed with respect to the application. D. Upon submission of a written application to the Town Clerk by the property owner seeking a hardship waiver from the provisions of this Local Law, the Town Board shall, within forty- five (45) days of receipt of a completed application, schedule a public hearing on said application upon five (5) days’ written notice in the official newspaper of the Town of Boston. At said Public Hearing, the property owner and any other parties wishing to present evidence with regard to the application shall have an opportunity to be heard, and the Town Board shall, within thirty (30) days of the close of said public hearing, render its decision either granting, denying, granting in part or denying in part, the application for a hardship waiver from the strict requirements of this Local Law. If the Town Board determines that a property owner will suffer an unnecessary or extraordinary hardship if this Local Law is strictly applied to a particular property, then the Town Board shall vary the application to this Local Law to the 2

Page 27

minimum extent necessary to provide the property owner relief from strict compliance with this Local Law. E. Standard of Review. In reviewing an application for an exception based upon a claim of unnecessary or extraordinary hardship, the Town Board shall consider the following criteria: 1. Whether the moratorium will expose a property owner or applicant to substantial monetary liability to a third person or would leave the property owner or applicant completely unable, after a thorough review of alternative solutions, to have a reasonable alternative use of the property. 2. The extent to which the proposed development activity would cause significant environmental harm, adversely impact surrounding natural resource areas, public health, comfort or safety concerns and/or have a negative impact upon the Town. 3. The emergency response plan including evacuation orders to be followed in the event of a fire or any other emergency at the facility and satisfactory evidence that precautions are in place to suppress a fire and mitigate the extent of damage to the surroundings and environment; 4. The size of the subject parcel and the wattage of the Battery Energy Storage System facility; 5. The proximity of the applicant’s proposed Battery Energy Storage System facility to residential areas as well as sensitive and high-risk populations including but not limited to hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, schools; 6. The extent of the proposed development and/or disturbance of the applicant’s premises; 7. The environmental significance, if any, of the applicant’s parcel and the proposed development’s impact upon the environment, including existing transportation resources; 8. Compatibility of the proposed development with the aesthetic resources of the community or with the existing community or neighborhood character; and 9. Compatibility of the proposed development with the recommendations of the Master Plan, the Comprehensive Plan Update, and all adopted Comprehensive Plans and plan elements henceforth. Section 6: Severability. If any part or provision of this Local Law or the application thereof to any person or circumstance be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part or provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this Local Law or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances, and the Town Board of the Town of Boston hereby declares that it would have passed this Local Law or the remainder thereof had such invalid application or invalid provision been apparent. 3

Page 28

Section 7: Effective date. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing in the office of the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law. 4

Mint 210A with automatic envelope feeder Mint 210S with semi-automatic hand feeder Flexible, Powerful Mailing System Take your mail processing to the next level with the flexible, efficient and cost-effective Mint 210 Series mid-volume mailing system. Using a mailing system can help your organization stay current with USPS mailing and shipping requirements, and save money on First Class, Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express with discounted rates. The Mint 210 Series is available in two models, the Mint 210S with semi-automatic hand feeding, and Mint 210A with an automatic envelope feeder. Each system meets the latest USPS requirements for Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) and Dimensional Weighing (DIM). Each system receives updates by connecting at least every 72 hours via LAN, keeping your postage rates up to date. Getting the mail out is quick and easy with the Mint 210 Series, which processes up to 75 envelopes per minute (210S) / 110 envelopes per minute (210A), and handles pieces up to 1/2” thick. Instead of users guessing how much postage to apply, the 5 lb weighing platform ensures the correct weight of each mail piece to prevent wasted postage. In addition to postage, users can personalize mailings with ad slogans, custom text messages, and more. The Mint 210 Series helps manage your mailing budget with 100 standard departmental accounts. The user-friendly interface includes a large color screen with intuitive prompts and shortcut keys to eliminate extra keystrokes and increase efficiency. Additional standard features include a moistener which seals envelopes in the same pass as applying postage, an expandable catch tray that holds mail up to 10” x 13”, an integrated postage tape dispenser, and a 5 lb weighing platform. Options include differential weighing, external weighing platforms up to 70 lbs, and the ability to manage postal expenses for up to 500 accounts or departments. With reliable, flexible and user-friendly features, the Mint 210 Series is the ideal all-in-one mid-volume mailing solution.

There will be no industrial activity, hazardous materials, or high- volume public traffic associated with this use. The property will remain compliant with all applicable building codes, fire safety requirements, occupancy standards, parking regulations, and accessibility guidelines. I am committed to working with the Town of Boston to ensure full compliance with all local requirements and will obtain any necessary permits, inspections, or approvals as required.
