server and have a erie.gov address. Councilman Robinson asked whether the currents firewalls
are up to date. Supervisor DePasquale will ask Supervisor’s Secretary to contact IT to confirm.

Park Rules
The Town Board discussed new Kummer Park rules proposed by Parks worker Kirby including
no motorized vehicles except for wheelchairs on trails and no alcohol beverages during Colden
youth programs. DePasquale asked the Board to consider Park rules for future discussion.
Councilman Hrycik asked about the status of a Park St resident’s barn that was partially
constructed on Park property. Planning Chairman Kammer said Nussbaumer and Clarke have
created some surveys showing solutions to the situation and Kammer has researched the procedure
for NYS park land alienation. Supervisor DePasquale said he will contact the homeowner and
Town attorney to start working towards a resolution.

Storage Unit
Supervisor DePasquale said the new playground equipment is scheduled to be delivered in March,
Superintendent Wohlhueter is considering purchasing a shipping container to temporarily store the
equipment. Once the playground is constructed, the structure could be used to store tires, parts and
small equipment. Councilman Robinson inspected the single trip structure, found it in great
condition and was able to get a discounted price of $8,700 delivered. Superintendent Wohlhueter
said the container would be placed behind the Highway building in view of the security cameras.
Currently the Highway garage is overcrowded, and occasionally equipment is left outside.
Supervisor DePasquale will bring the purchase for a motion at the February meeting and determine
whether the structure is considered equipment or a building and requires added insurance.
