OFFICIAL CONSIDERATIONS
  •  A motion by Trustee Kamp to give Permission for the Mayor or designee to sign a contract with Barton
  and Loguidice for a study on an all-way stop at the corner of Pine and Girard, seconded by Trustee Root
  and unanimously approved.
  o Mayor Wochensky spoke about the current status of the stop sign. Trustee Kamp noted that the
  concerns of the residents were not considered when the study was done by the county but that the
  engineers will look into those concerns. The Village Board discussed what needs to be reviewed
  to make a safe decision. The engineer reviewed what the almost $6,000 scope would cover and
  that the higher amount proposal of $15,000 would have overlap with the county work. Trustee
  Lazickas asked if software would be used, and the engineer said yes that a form of software
  would be used in their evaluation.
  •  A motion by Trustee Lazickas to give Permission for the Mayor or designee to sign the Climate Smart
  Communities Pledge;
  WHEREAS, the Village of East Aurora (hereinafter “local government”) believes that climate change
  poses a real and increasing threat to our local and global environments and is primarily due to the
  burning of fossil fuels; and
  WHEREAS, the effects of climate change will endanger our infrastructure, economy, and livelihoods;
  harm our farms, orchards, and ecological communities, including native fish and wildlife populations;
  spread invasive species and exotic diseases; reduce drinking water supplies and recreational
  opportunities; and pose health threats to our citizens; and
  WHEREAS, we believe that our response to climate change provides us with an unprecedented
  opportunity to save money, and to build livable, energy-independent and secure communities, vibrant
  innovation economies, healthy and safe schools, and resilient infrastructures; and
  WHEREAS, we believe the scale of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions required for climate
  stabilization will require sustained and substantial efforts; and
