DOG CONTROL
Councilman Robinson said that the Town is considering combining dog control services with the
Town of Aurora beginning in January 2027. The new NYS kennel regulations make it too costly
for the Town of Colden to continue the service. The Clerk’s office will still do the licensing.

MOTION made by Councilman Robinson, seconded by Councilman Hrycik and unanimously
approved to contract with the Town of Aurora for dog control and kennel services beginning in
January 2027.

DCO Zak performed five kennel Special Use Permit (SUP) Inspections in June. The SUPs for
Diane Farish 10025 Partridge Rd, Lisa Holmer 9034 Maltby Dr, Nikki Kuznicki 8350 Irish Rd,
Joe and Melissa Wales 8549 Blanchard Rd, and Mark Leitzan 9883 Darien Rd were all found to
be in compliance. Dan Geile was unable to be contacted for his inspection.

MOTION made by Councilwoman Zurbrick, seconded by Councilman Pietraszek and
unanimously approved to accept the five kennel SUP inspections.
