  TOWN OF CONCORD TOWN BOARD  March 12, 2026
  Work Session 5:30 p.m.

  Supervisor Drozd discussed the following with the Board:

1. Checks for the cannabis tax came in: $427.19 on 2/25/26, which was from 11/2025 and
  $4633.54 on 2/26/26, which was from 12/2025. Supervisor Drozd believes that when
  the cannabis shop opens in the Village of Springville the Town should also be getting
  some of the money from there. He is going to look into this further. Council Member
  Zittel asked if the Village receives any money from Waterman’s-no they do not.

2. KBWWTP-Daneen Jackson from the DEC will be in contact more with Ben Sloatman
  until the new plant is up and running. The EPA gave the Town a warning, but the Town
  will not get fined since the EPA knows that we are working on a new plant. The SPEDS
  permit came in, we are down to one permit

3. NYS notified Supervisor Drozd that both CEOs are up to date on their training.

4. Supervisor Drozd attended the Elected Officials Guide to Emergency Management last
  Wednesday, since Mike Willibey was out of town.

5. The agreement between KB and the Town for the pump station is up for renewal at the
  end of month. Caleb Henning and Ben Sloatman went through the current contract and
  updated it. Supervisor Drozd has reached out to Rhett McNulty from KB in regards to
  this but has not heard back yet.

6. Charter Communications sent the Town the check for the franchise fee for the year- $31,
  513.74.

7. Supervisor Drozd, Highway Supt. Heim and Deputy Highway Supt. Cramer met with the
  Athletic Director from the HS in regards to the baseball fields. The Highway department
  will handle further communications with the school.

8. Supervisor Drozd received a letter from the state stating that a payment for the Town in
  the amount of $35,614.41 will be processed on 3/16/26 for the playground equipment.
  There is still $14,400 left from that grant.

9. The Temporary Municipal AIM will be increased to $10,125.00. Last year the Town
  received approximately $4200. Council Member Drake believes that this is the first
  increase in about ten years. The Village of Springville will be getting a check for
  $7455.00.

10. The Bridge NY labor rates for AZAR Engineering are the same as 2025

11. Secretary Heyden compiled a list of area town park rates so that the Board knows what
  other towns are charging for using their parks. The travel league baseball group has not
  contacted the Supervisor since their original meeting.

12. The Springville Journal is doing a publication for the US 250th anniversary on 7/2/26.
  Supervisor Drozd will be coming up with an ad to place in it for the next meeting.

13. Twelve Springs Church is willing to refinish the floors in the hall for no charge for the
  labor since the Town is letting them rent out the hall weekly. Supervisor Drozd showed
  the Board the color options. The church personnel have one sander, and would like to
  rent another one so that the project goes faster. The approximate cost to have them
  refinish the floors is $4000 for the supplies. Caleb Henning from MDA told Supervisor
  Drozd that is would normally cost the Town around $35,000-$40,000 if it was done by a
  flooring company.
