5) Waste Management Discussion:

  Supervisor Snyder stated he and Councilmember Wrazen had a meeting with
Waste Management to discuss the plan and timing for rolling out trash and recycling
bins to the Town of Aurora residents. The initial April time frame has been postponed to
September 1, 2026 in order to allow for enough time to communicate and prepare
residents for this change. Totes are expected to arrive sometime mid-August. The board
discussed doing what they can to get the messaging out as soon as possible, ideally
beginning in May with the support of communication materials from Waste
Management. There was further discussion about resident schedules for delivery of bins,
timeline expectations for/from Waste Management, how to get rid of your old garbage
cans, bulk pick up frequency and the request processes for smaller totes or more totes
for the property. As far as an opportunity for the public to hear directly from Waste
Management, representatives will attend an upcoming town board meeting to present
information to the board, and public will be able to pose questions and feedback to
the board.

6) Planning Board Responsibility for 2025 Comprehensive Plan Review:

  Planning Board Member Tim Stroth made an inquiry of the board seeking
direction about what is expected of the Planning Board in review of the 2025
Comprehensive Plan prior to the March 9 public hearing. Bearing in mind the short
timeline, the plan is to submit comments to the board so as not to impede the progress
of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Stroth asked for specific direction about what’s needed
from the Planning board. Councilmember Wrazen stated it would be helpful to look at
the community’s priorities collected via surveys that may have conflicts, e.g. concerns
about overdevelopment but the lack of senior/workforce housing to see if the outcome
of the plan addresses all the feedback sensibly and reasonably.

Town Clerk
