SUPERVISOR: Is there any member of the Town Board with a further action item for Town Board consideration this evening?

Is there any member of the Board with an item of information for the public?

Mr. Sinclair: I would like to comment on the building permit applications it is well over five million for the last two-week period. About five million of that is the Charter School renovation and building of a new building as part of the ongoing development for the Charter School opening up this Fall. Our total building permits at this point of the year are over nine million dollars. So we are off to a great start and we have a lot more stuff coming in our industrial area and we are getting a great many residential additions, changes, modifications which are amounting in many cases to many thousand of dollars. So our building department is a very active place and encourage anybody that has things that need to be done to stop in a talk to them.

Ms. Murphy: I just want to let everybody know that we have broken ground on the new Point Garden. If you are driving by Kenmore and Englewood take a look at that corner. You will see it starting to shape up and transform over the summer. There is a similar one on Delaware Rd. and Delaware Avenue and I wanted to thank again Kenmore Rotary Foundation which gave us a check for $4,500.00 which will allow us to complete that this year. I also wanted to thank John Hedges and David Rider for Highway and Youth, Parks and Recreation participation because they are donating services to us so that we can get that completed and keep going on our Gateway Beautification Program. So take a ride by there, I think you will be pleased to watch the transformation over the summer.

SUPERVISOR: Thank you for your leadership and initiative on that matter Councilman Murphy.

Ms. Murphy: I can’t wait to see it.

Mr. Rider: The Town of Tonawanda Wastewater Treatment Plant recently received high grades of performance from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The evaluation followed the annual compliance inspection required by the DEC in order to receive the permit needed to discharge into the river. The inspection confirmed excellent overall operations, maintenance and record keeping practices. And additionally water samples collected at the plant confirmed excellent quality. I am pleased that the taxpayers commitment to the environment is being recognized. The employees and supervisors at the Wastewater Plant are dedicated to protecting the environment in serving the public. We are proud of their accomplishments. Thank you John Camilleri and the guys at Wastewater.

SUPERVISOR: It is great to see recognition like that from a regulatory agency particularly the NYSDEC which isn’t usually too willing to extend words of congratulations and praise.

Mr. Sinclair: They rarely smile.

SUPERVISOR: Is there any member of the Town Board with an item of information for the public?

It is my pleasure tonight to welcome Troop 58 from St. Christopher’s Church. It is good to have the adult leaders and the boy scouts from that troop with us this evening. I am wondering if there might be a spokesperson among you who is willing to tell us why you are here tonight.

Unidentified boy scout: We are here to work on the Citizenship in the Community and Communications Merit badges. There is a requirement for each merit badge to attend a Town meeting.

SUPERVISOR: Boy, we realize that your representing your troop that you hold various ranks within your troop but we are very pleased that we bring you together tonight at this Town Board meeting.

It is always an honor for us to point out to boy scouts that one of our own is an Eagle Scout and that would be Councilman Raymond Sinclair.

A special thanks again to the adult leaders who make scouting a possible experience for young boys in our community. You are doing a great service by instilling our young people with values and showing them that community services is something that is desirable and indeed a responsibility.

Boys I might point out to you that you can find the agenda of tonight’s meeting and in about a week the minutes of tonight’s meeting on our web site – Tonawanda.ny.us. I know Councilman Murphy is very proud of me for knowing our web site. I do have a chat room boys and you are welcome to participate.

Is there any member of the audience who has a matter to bring before the Town Board this evening? NO ONE APPEARED.
