ITEM #2  RESIDENT CONCERNS

There were no resident concerns.

ITEM #3  OLD BUSINESS

The property where the pump station is located is on the Erie County tax foreclosure list.
The homeowner’s association is interested in purchasing it. Supervisor Drozd asked
Town Attorney Attea what would need to be done for the Town to purchase the land from
the County, because the Town Engineers thought it would be helpful if the Town owned
it. Town Attorney Attea has no experience with this, but can research it. The Board
discussed if it would be beneficial to the Town to purchase this, but it may become a
liability for the Town. If the Town owned the land, then they would not have to get any
easements with residents for the pump station work that needs to be done. The Board
discussed this, and decided if there is no practical current or future use then the Board
should not take on the responsibility of owning the land. Supervisor Drozd said that he
will keep an eye on the auction list and see what happens.
