A second night of fireworks is planned for Community Day, a town wide celebration on September 12th - A More Perfect Union on Union, and a town wide campus beautification project. Supervisor Dickson agreed that the events are related and the expenses are reasonable. Supervisor Dickson stated the deer cull program has taken 150 deer this season and the town is continuing to address the deer problems. NEW BUSINESS 1. PERSONNEL 1. Supervisor Dickson re Resignation of Councilman Jeffrey A. Piekarec The resignation of Councilman Jeffrey A. Piekarec effective April 6, 2026, is received and filed. Councilmember Breidenstein made the following statement. The recent revelations involving former Councilman Jeffrey Piekarec are deeply concerning and strike at the core of public trust. When an individual takes the oath of office, it carries a clear expectation—an unwavering commitment to integrity, sound judgment, and the protection of confidential information.On the evening of March 31st, I was contacted by multiple residents who provided clear, uncontroverted information regarding these actions. That information was immediately shared with my colleagues on the Town Board, and Supervisor Dickson promptly convened an emergency meeting. The actions brought to light have undermined confidence in Town operations, particularly in decision-making and hiring processes. More troubling, they have unfairly damaged the reputations of dedicated Town employees across our workforce, including members of the Police Benevolent Association and Blue Collar and White Collar union members and non-union staff. Let me be clear—this is not a matter of a single lapse in judgment or an isolated mistake. The information available indicates a sustained, intentional, and deliberate release of confidential and protected information in direct violation of Town Code and our Ethics Policy. Such conduct is egregious and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. In my capacity as a Town Councilman and fiduciary of this community, I have filed a formal ethics complaint citing violations of Section 13 of the Town’s Ethics Code, which strictly prohibits the disclosure of confidential information. I am confident the Ethics Committee will conduct a thorough and impartial review and render a decision based on the facts. Residents with a first hand accounting of these transgressions are similarly encouraged to file an Ethics Complaint. Public service demands accountability. When an elected official violates their oath, they forfeit the privilege to serve. The residents of West Seneca expect—and deserve—the highest standards of ethical conduct. In this instance, that standard was not met. 2

WEST SENECA COURT ROOM TOWN BOARD PROCEEDINGS 1250 Union Road Minutes - Meeting # 2026-07 West Seneca, NY 14224 April 13, 2026 Councilmember Sherman made the following comments: Jeff Piekarec served as a member of the West Seneca Town Board; however, it must be acknowledged that he committed an egregious error by disclosing sensitive information. The release of such information constitutes a serious breach of trust. Unfortunately, this situation puts the town in a bad light. We deserve much better than that. It is my opinion that Mr. Piekarec made the appropriate decision in resigning from his position as councilman. Councilmember Robertson stated that he echoes the statements of Councilmembers Breidenstein and Sherman. There is no place for this and these actions. We run to serve the community and do right by the residents and when there are trust issues and informational breaches, everyone is put in a very tough position. He is pleased that Councilmember Piekarec did the proper thing and resigned. We will move forward to rectify this situation and will do everything in our power to facilitate good government for the residents of West Seneca. Supervisor Dickson stated that as soon as the breach of confidence was discovered on March 31st, he met with Councilmember Piekarec on April 1st and told him that Mr. Piekarec had lost the trust of all his colleagues on the Town Board. On Friday, a Special Town Board meeting was called for Monday, April 6th. Mr. Piekarec resigned earlier on Monday and therefore I canceled the Special Town Board Meeting. 2.

Supervisor Dickson re Business Insurance Renewal Supervisor Dickson stated the town went out to brokers in 2022 and has been using Tompkins Insurance Agencies for 4 years.

Councilmember Sherman asked Ms. Rapasadi for the amount the town would save by dropping collision coverage on vehicles older than 2015.
