ITEM #5 COUNCIL MEMBER NOTES Supervisor Drozd spoke to the Board in regards to the letter received on 5/6/26 from Dr. Todaro at Eden Vet Clinic in regards to the new regulation from NYS for dogs. Town Clerk Safford informed them that NYS now requires that all Town renewal notices and original dog licenses have an option listed on them asking if the dog owner would like to make a donation to the clinic that shelters the Town’s dogs. Council Member Krzemien informed the Board that the Springville Field and Stream is having their annual chicken barbeque on June 7, 2026 at 11 a.m. Council Member Drake went to Kaufman Utz on 5/7/26 and spent most of the day there trying to figure out the AFR, because it is not clear what the previous CPA did. It looks like the previous CPA submitted the AFR and thought they would fix it next year if it was wrong. Now Council Member Drake and Kaufman Utz are trying to figure out the errors. It looks like they are within $5000 of having it resolved. Highway Supt. Heim is looking into purchasing a small trailer to use at the park. There is money in parks equipment to purchase this. Next week the playground will have new mulch, and they should be able to open it to the public. Council Member Zittel asked if the tanks should be emptied every year since there are so many children that use the park. Supervisor Drozd thinks that would be a good idea, and said it should be done before the 4th of July. Supervisor Drozd said that there are three new Eagle Scouts: Danny Backhaus, Hunter Swanson, and Christopher Agle. A cannabis tax check was received for $79.72 on May 7, and the last check was for $4,633.54 which was received on February 26. The Town received a letter from the Bread of Life in Colden thanking us for the $200 donation. The floor at the Bensley Center needs to be replaced. That could possibly be covered if a grant comes through next year. Council Member Krzemien left the meeting at 6:52 p.m. to attend a Planning Board meeting for the Village of Springville.
