NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Town Board identifies Gary A.

Town Clerk Newton re Extension of Tax Collection Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Sherman, to authorize the Supervisor to sign the Notice of Extension of Collector's Warrant requesting the extension of the time to collect the taxes remaining unpaid to June 30, 2026, noting this allows the Town to keep the penalties rather than the County. Ayes: 5 Noes: 0 Abstain: 0 Motion Carried 3. Town Engineer re Proposal for Sewer Model Recalibration and SSES Re-Evaluation Town Engineer Foote stated the purpose of the request is to obtain new data for the sewer system through flow metering, re-calibrate the model, and identify the worst areas to target priority areas in town. Councilmember Piekarec asked what the timeline for this would be. Mr. Foote stated the meters would be in place from March through June, a report would be completed by the end of November and submitted to NYSDEC. Councilmember Robertson stated that, in his opinion, the cost of the flow meters is excessive and asked how many flow meters would be placed in trunk lines that were slip lined. Mr. Foote stated the meters would be placed in the same locations as the 2009 study. Councilmember Robertson asked what the point of this would be and how issues would be handled. Mr. Foote stated he is fairly confident the infiltration is from privately owned laterals. Councilmember Roberston asked if the project could be scaled down be less impactful on the sewer lines. Mr. Foote stated flow meters must be checked weekly which requires quite a bit of labor. The meters have been paired down as much as possible. Councilmember Robertson asked how this project factors into the DEC Consent Order. Mr. Foote stated this project will identify the problem areas of I & I. Supervisor Dickson stated the project would allow the town to measure the benefits of the sewer work that has been completed and identify areas where private laterals continue to be a problem. Further, the cost of sewer work, millions of dollars, justifies the current project, the town has grant money, Phase 8 was completed with a $180,000 underage, and the town has additional money. Councilmember Breidenstein asked if this project was budgeted for 2026. Mr. Foote stated $600,000 was budgeted for this project and sewer work. The system is behaving differently than in 2009 5
