TOWN OF CONCORD TOWN BOARD  June 11, 2026
Work Session 5:30 p.m.

Supervisor Drozd opened Work Session:

1. John Currio spoke to the Board about the different options for health insurance. The
Board will continue to have discussions on this matter as a decision is not needed at this
time.

2. AED/CPR training was held at the Senior Center on 5/15/26. Five employees
participated in the training.

3. The front of Town Hall was scraped and painted on 5/15/26, and the garden was
completed on 5/23/26.

4. Supt. Heim took care of the garden in front of the park, which looks great. Wayne has
been watering all of the new plants at both places.

5. Supervisor Drozd informed the library board that there will some new shrubs put in,
the concrete pad will be removed and there are some repairs that need to be done because
the conduit from the old air conditioning was removed.

6. Waste Management sent all of the dumpster refunds owed to the Town since we
switched to MRC.

7. Supt. Heim finished the playground at the park on 5/26/26.

8. KB water plant is going well-the Health Department reports on the storage tank and the
bypass valve came back and there are no issues.

9. Wayne and Reuben are completing a lot of repairs at several buildings with some help
from the Highway garage employees.

10. June sales tax County-wide is 6.92% higher than last year at this time.

11. Work is progressing on the Town taking over the parking area on Cascade Road, and
the roof that the County removed has been put back on building located there.
Springville Fire Co. sent Supervisor Drozd a letter stating they are in favor of the Town
taking over the area since it is used by them when needed as a staging area for fire calls.

12. The Town received two Purple Heart signs-one will be placed at the parking area and
the second location is still to be determined.

13. The mortgage tax from 10/1/25-3/31/26 was $86,042.12

14. Supervisor Drozd had been talking to Attorney Attea about implementing business
permits in the Town, because CEO Roberts does not know how to enforce this because
there is nothing in the Code Book or Local Laws concerning this matter. Attorney Attea
looked into the surrounding Towns and none of them require business permits at this
time. Unless a Local Law was passed with a code revision requiring business permits it
is not enforceable. Council Member Zittel said that the only advantage he can see to
requiring business permits is to make sure that the property the business is located on is
zoned properly.

15. NYS Cyber Training is 6/23/26 9am at the senior center.

16.The recent Houghton College seminar was the most beneficial one offered to date.
There were many informative sessions.

17. The library and senior center parking lots are going to have to get sealed again
because of the weathering sustained over the winter.
