c. Receive questions from the Town, its departments, boards, commissions, agents, and employees, relative to general municipal planning services which require response at times other than scheduled representation at the Town Hall (Telephone calls, text messages, and emails). This service provides access to the other professionals at Wendel. Any assignments from these calls, outside of our Retained services work, will be considered extra services and require authorizations. Based on 2025 activities and the need for additional input from Wendel, Wendel’s work will include, on average, about 8 extra hours per week (for budgeting purposes). d. Provide the Town with recommendations and examples for organizing and updating Town procedures and record keeping. Review Town regulations during the year and make recommendations for improvements. e. Provide consultation for SEQR proceedings for Unlisted and Type 1 actions not requiring an Environmental Impact Statement, as defined by said proceedings. f. Attend information meetings of Federal, State and County agencies designated by the Planner and alert the Town to events and/or decisions that may affect the Town. 2. The Town agrees to pay the Planner for services listed as items “1.a-f” at a rate of $132,000.00 per annum, payable in monthly installments of $11,000.00, first payment to commence at the end of the first month of service and upon submission of an appropriate voucher, therefore, WENDEL services will begin on January 1, 2026. (This fee may be renegotiated and adjusted if any circumstances change). 3. The following services (3.a-e) are not included in this contract fee amount and Wendel shall obtain prior authorization of the Town Supervisor or Town Board prior to performing any of these services. Fees for these services will be determined at that time, when the specific scope can be identified, and a proposal (with a cost estimate) is accepted by the Town Board. Billing for these “extra services” shall be in the format of date, type of services performed, individual performing the work, amount of time spent/date, and the fee amount. Work performed by Drew Reilly for these “extra services” will be billed at the negotiated rate of $260 per hour and for Josh Rogers at a rate of $110 per hour. a. Provide consultation for SEQR proceedings for actions requiring an EIS, as defined by said proceeding. Costs for EIS consultation may be charged to the applicant per the SEQR Law.

Regardless of reimbursement, the costs incurred by WENDEL (authorized by the Town) will be paid to WENDEL with or without reimbursement by the applicant. b. Preparation of aid/grant applications or supplements to applications prepared by others. c. Additional Town Board special meetings (wherein, attendance by Wendel is required by the Town Supervisor).
