  d) Frank Giordano – 11980 Trevett Road
Mr. Giordano received a Special Use Permit in February of 2026 and he has not yet
followed all of the conditions that were set with the permit. The Planning Board has
concerns and wants the Town Board to discuss this and take action. There was supposed
to be greenery planted by August, but Mr. Giordano would like to plant trees in the fall
instead, according to a conversation he had with Town Clerk Safford. CEO Roberts
spoke with Mr. Giordano after that and Mr. Giordano would now like to wait until spring
at the recommendation of the grower so that the plants are not stressed in the winter.
Council Member Zittel said that he feels that something was supposed to be done by
August and the Board already gave him a lot of time. The Planning Board and Town
Board has bent over backwards for Mr. Giordano. CEO Roberts is not sure where he is
supposed to go with this matter and is looking for direction from the Town Board. Town
Attorney Attea said that the Board should give him a specific date to have the trees
planted. Supervisor Drozd believes that a letter should be sent giving Mr. Giordano six
months to plant the trees, and Council Member Zittel thinks October 30.

  Motion by Supervisor Drozd, seconded by Council Member Kassel, to send a
letter to Mr. Giordano stating that the trees need to be planted by April 30, 2027 or else
the Special Use Permit is automatically revoked. Council Members Zittel and Krzemien
voting no, Supervisor Drozd, Council Members Kassel and Drake voting yes. Carried

  f) FOIL Non-Solicitation form

  Town Clerk Safford discussed AI FOIL requests that are being sent to many
Towns in the state looking for information that appears may be used to solicit residents.
The Department of State got involved in an email conversation that was being had by
almost 500 Town Clerks in the state, and they said that a Town can sent out this form
when they receive a FOIL request looking for information. If the form gets signed stating
that the information will not be used to solicit residents then the information can be
released.

  Motion by Council Member Krzemien, seconded by Council Member Zittel. All
members voting aye. Carried
