Reports from Town Board Members and Department Heads
Councilman Best reports that he took part in the Hamburg Holiday Parade, along with the Town
Clerk and the Town Attorney. It was a lot of fun for all. The Town’s Rejuvenation Committee
will be sponsoring the Christmas at the Cabin on December 3rd
from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the
Taylor Road Cabin. Santa will be there and they will have refreshments, crafts and live reindeer.
Councilman Quinn – no report
Supervisor Walters reports that the Annual Polar Plunge will be held on Saturday Dec. 3rd
at
Woodlawn Beach at 2:00 pm. Secondly the annual Holiday Open House for the Hamburg
Historical Society is on Sunday Dec. 4th
from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. At 1:00 pm there will be a
guest speaker, Denise Reichert, who will be performing as Amelia Earhart as part of the women
of History Series.
Catherine A. Rybczynski, Town Clerk, reports that Wednesday, Nov 30th
is the last day to collect
school taxes. After that the tax roll will be turned over to the County and payments can be made
to the County through the month of December. If the payment is not made the School amounts
will roll into the Town and County Bill in January.
Christopher Hull, Director of Community Development, thanks the Town Board for approving
the website. A lot of work went into that and hopefully by March or April they will have an
online application intake and also the loan portfolio will be online. This will provide easier
payments for their clients.
Michael Quinn, Engineering Consultant, thanks the Town Board for approving the contract with
Erdman Anthony for the construction phase for the Quiet Zones. All the paperwork is in with
CSX and they received an email from NYSDOT and the letting is scheduled for January. They
have to go off the NYSDEC letting schedule because they control the money.
Marty Denecke reports that the Hamburg Youth Bureau is involved in the WNY Holiday
Partnership Toy Drive for families in need. They are one of 23 agencies that participate and their
responsibilities are Hamburg and smaller surrounding communities. They get toys from the
central warehouse and a number of groups are helping as well. There are bins in Town Hall and
other recreational facilities. If anyone knows of someone in need who would like to get some
toys they can sign up at the Senior Center. For further information call the Youth Bureau.
Business from the Floor
John McKendry comments that the pipeline he mentioned at the last meeting is going to increase
the crude oil that is being transported through here. The Town will have a problem if that
pipeline goes in. He will keep them informed.
