2. FOR DISCUSSION
1. Supervisor Dickson re Appointment of Councilmember

Supervisor Dickson stated there are no updates on the appointment of a Councilperson.

2. Councilmember Breidenstein re Public Comment Pilot

Councilmember Breidenstein provided the following information for the 90-day pilot program:
- Total Public Comments - 67, of which 61 were responded to at that particular meeting with the
exception of 2 questions and 4 general statements
- Water pressure on Cedar Ridge Drive - the town is awaiting a response from the ECWA
- Renaming of 3 parks for specific veterans is still a work in progress
- 4 comments were statements that did not include a question

In Councilmember Breidenstein's opinion, the discussion at the previous meeting was spirited but
more civil, noting comments on social media tend to be more aggressive in tone. Councilmember
Breidenstein suggested formerly adopting the Public Comments Policy with the statement that
precedes the public comments.

Motion by Councilmember Breidenstein, seconded by Supervisor Dickson, to adopt the Response to
Public Comment as a standing Town Board agenda item following public comment for all regularly
scheduled Town Board meetings, effective May 11, 2026.

Ayes: 4  Noes: 0  Abstain: 0  Motion Carried

3. COMMUNICATIONS TO BE VOTED ON

Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Robertson, to accept the proposal from
Tech Savvy, 3768 Seneca Street, West Seneca, NY 14224, in the amount of $9,090.28 to provide
permanent cameras that will tie into the audio system and stream to the town's channel on YouTube.
