Construction on the KB Watermain Extension was scheduled to start on May 18, 2026,
but has been delayed until the first week in June 2026. Council Member Drake informed
the Board that a new account needs to be set up for this project. There is an HI CD for
the sewer, but there should be an HJ set up for the construction of the water extension.
Supervisor Drozd will get with Council Member Drake, Kaufman Utz and Jeff Smith to
take care of this.

The following was sent by Caleb Henning in regards to the Town projects currently
underway:

  Summary of all Active Projects - Project Status Update May 13, 2026 -Town Board
  Meeting Prepared: May 12, 2026

  23031 - Craneridge SD Pump Station
  • Last meeting held on July 16, 2025 between the Town, Ridgeview
  HOA, and our office - Town was going to look into buying the 16
  acre parcel with the general plan to construct a new pump station
  near the townhomes.
  • The parcel appears to be coming up for tax sale in August 2026
  • Ben Slotman has requesting some pricing for rehabilitating the existing
  pump station. We
  will review the info when he sends it to us.
  • The Town, Ben Slotman, and our firm should discuss this to
  identify the best path forward. At this point, it may be best to
  rehabilitate the existing pump station, given the difficulty of
  acquiring land or permissions to move it.

  NYSDEC
  o  Railroad ROW
  o Received updated survey showing property as expected
