  Parks Report

  •  We have taken delivery of the park playground equipment.
  •  Spring Equipment is being serviced and ready to go
  •  New disc golf course signs are being installed

Councilwoman Zurbrick requested larger, more visible “No Overnight Parking” signs be placed
at the Town parking lots, current signs are too small. Councilman Robinson said the Sheet Metal
Workers Union has a team that has offered to help with the installation of the new Park
equipment. Parks Kirby reported that over 170,057 rounds of disc golf were played in the Park
last year.

Councilman Robinson read the following proclamation from Erie County Legislator Lindsay
Lorigo:

WHEREAS Highway and Public Works employees maintain essential infrastructure including
roads, bridges, culverts, and drainage systems ensuring safe travel for residents, businesses, and
emergency responders, and

WHEREAS the responsibilities of municipal highway departments are most evident during
severe weather conditions, when extreme cold, dangerous wind chills, heavy snowfall, and high
winds create hazardous condition and

WHEREAS the highway crews work through the night and early morning hours, often while

WHEREAS Erie County Legislature wishes to recognize the outstanding service of the
Highway Superintendent Lee Wohlhueter and the dedicated crew of the Colden Highway

WHEREAS the professionalism and commitment of the Colden Highway Department reflects
its dedication to this community, working year-round to ensure that our family, friends and
neighbors are safe on their travels.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Erie County Legislature pauses in its
deliberations to honor the Town of Colden Highway Department and Highway Superintendent

appreciation for the continued commitment to the wellbeing of this community.
