4-E REPORTS ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC YES PROGRAM, PEER COUNSELING, AMERICORPS ISSUES Amy Carpenter, 406 Woodward Crescent, commended the students and citizens of West Seneca for taking an active and participating role by writing to the West Seneca Bee regarding the YES and Peer Counseling programs in the town. However, she did not believe they understood what was discussed at the last Town Board meeting. Mrs. Carpenter stated that no one was questioning the validity of the program or its use and/or the good that it does.
ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC YES PROGRAM, PEER COUNSELING, AMERICORPS ISSUES (continued) What was being questioned was why the town was putting forth the funds versus other programs that are run through the high school (i.e. football, baseball, basketball, hockey, drama, DECA, A/V). There are several youth oriented clubs and activities that the town does not pay for, including boy scouts, girl scouts, church youth groups, soccer and the baseball association, and Mrs. Carpenter questioned when volunteering becomes a paid position. She noted that every time questions about these programs come up, a rumor begins that they want them gone as a program, but that is not a fact. Mrs. Carpenter wanted to ensure that everyone realized what was actually at stake. She further referred to the agreement between the town and AmeriCorps and questioned how the space allocation is determined and how much space AmeriCorps had in the building. The board members did not have an answer for Mrs. Carpenter. Mrs. Carpenter stated that it appeared the space allocation was not very well thought out or understood. Mr. Lazzara mentioned that he was the only one that knew about the Burchfield Center account, he made purchases for the AmeriCorps, and the Burchfield Center would have overlapped. She did not understand this and stated that Mr. Lazzara had told her that he paid to have a new roof put on the building. Mrs. Carpenter questioned why Mr. Lazzara would pay for this when he was just a tenant and she assumed the landlord would do this. Councilman Graber responded that the town as landlord of the property replaced the roof. The facility fees were used to pay for the roof. Mrs. Carpenter stated that because there are so many things that go back and forth with this organization that are not clear, she would like to see a much more transparent form of government in the future. She felt the citizens were owed that and they had not seen it. Karen Lucachick, Greenmeadow Drive, stated that when she was reading through the AmeriCorps grant administration agreement with the town she noticed that it was dated June 23, 2008 and she questioned if there was an agreement prior to that date. Councilman Graber advised that there was not. Mrs. Lucachick was amazed that the town would put themselves in as the grantee with no agreement. She questioned how they knew what was going on prior to the agreement when they were not involved other than to transfer money back and forth. Mrs. Lucachick further questioned who composed the agreement. Supervisor Piotrowski did not know who wrote the agreement and stated that he did not vote for it because he disagreed with it. Town Attorney Edwin Hunter also disagreed with it. Mrs. Lucachick recalled that when the agreement was adopted, Mr. Hunter only saw it the night of the meeting and Deputy Town Attorney Paul Notaro saw it that afternoon. So no one knew who wrote it and the attorneys had not reviewed it when the majority of the Town Board voted for it. Mrs. Lucachick stated that the town was obligated for almost $3.5 million in cash and in-kind contributions. West Seneca was listed as a contractor on the grants, but Mr. Lazzara signed them as the contractor. She questioned if Mr. Lazzara was endorsed by the Town Board to be the contractor and what his title was with the town to be able to sign them. Mrs. Lucachick also questioned how the grant for aiding the recovery effort from Hurricane Katrina, which made the Town of West Seneca responsible for providing over $309,000 served the local government. There was no answer to Mrs. Lucachick’s questions.
ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC YES PROGRAM, PEER COUNSELING, AMERICORPS ISSUES (continued) Mrs. Lucachick questioned if the Town of West Seneca should be in the business of providing money for programs outside of its jurisdiction. She noted that Comptroller Robert Bielecki stated at the June 23, 2008 Town Board meeting that money advanced to AmeriCorps, if invested, could have been earning interest. Instead the town carried a large debt obligation for WNY AmeriCorps for a long time. Mrs. Lucachick hoped that 2010 brought the end of the town’s obligation to that organization. She thought they should know what the standing was on what AmeriCorps owed the town. Paula Minklei, Orchard Park Road, stated that there was no discussion about the content of the grant administration agreement at the June 23, 2008 Town Board meeting when the motion was passed for its adoption, or at any other meeting she attended since then. The town was apparently responsible for administering the grants through last June without board members having reviewed or even having had access to them. She questioned how the board could even consider entering into an agreement regarding the grants without first having reviewed them. The agreement states that beginning August 1, 2008, WNY AmeriCorps shall assume responsibility for administering the grants, delivering the grant program services, and collecting in-kind and cash matches. For years the Town Board and others told the public it was AmeriCorps and the Youth Bureau Director’s responsibility. If they need the agreement to substantiate the responsibility, Mrs. Minklei hoped it was binding. In reviewing some of the grants, it appeared to her that the Town of West Seneca was literally the contractor for the grants; and therefore, she presumed the town had the final responsibility for cost and administration. Mrs. Minklei hoped the agreement was valid and that WNY AmeriCorps could stand on its own as it should. She referred to the large outstanding balance on the programs and stated that the town has continued to advance money to Mr. Lazzara simply on his signature and often without receipts. The June 23, 2008 agreement states that the town will advance one-twelfth of potential incoming monies on or before the first of each month and expect verification as to how it is spent 45 days later. Mrs. Minklei did not consider that to be a usual and acceptable way of accounting. She stated that questions were raised at the March 2, 2009 Town Board meeting about advancing funds based on credit card statements and she questioned which elected official authorized Comptroller Bielecki to pay when no explanations accompany the credit card statements or other requests. Mrs. Minklei questioned if the town would make any other business payments prior to receiving a statement on services or goods. On March 2, 2009 the public was told the balance due from the AmeriCorps grants amounted to over $2 million and she questioned if any of that was collected or if any of the board members knew what the money was used for. Mr. Bielecki responded that there were two receipts during the month. One was in excess of $50,000 and one was in excess of $110,000. He did not have an exact calculation of the balance but thought it was in the $1.8 million range. Mrs. Minklei referred to language in the agreement stating that WNY AmeriCorps had the right to utilize space at the Burchfield Center until December 31, 2011 unless otherwise agreed in writing. She questioned why the date was 2011 when AmeriCorps will be separated from the town at the end of 2010. Mrs. Minklei further questioned if an attorney approved the agreement prior to its adoption and if there was a lease agreement spelling out the specifics of space, times, responsibilities and agreement regarding the shared spaces. Dolores Stefanacci, 28 Organ Crescent, commented that the AmeriCorps was a wonderful program, but there was a problem with the way it was run. The public would like to know where the $2.5 million was spent. She stated that Mr. Lazzara has been known to play musical desks. People come and go and are moved to another part of the office, and each time the phone bill amounts to thousands of dollars because they have to move the wiring and change the intercom numbers to the new desk. Mrs. Stefanacci questioned who paid for the phone expense. She further requested that a public hearing be scheduled in the near future to discuss the use of the Burchfield Center.
ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC YES PROGRAM, PEER COUNSELING, AMERICORPS ISSUES (continued) Councilwoman Meegan responded that the AmeriCorps paid for their own phone expenses and the Town Board could schedule a public meeting to discuss use of the Burchfield Center. James Kittner, 7 Victoria Heights, East Aurora, stated that he has worked for the town for 37 years and 10 of those years he worked for the AmeriCorps. They did many projects and good things for the community and he was unhappy with everything that was going on with the program. Mr. Kittner stated that when Supervisor Piotrowski took office he stated that he would be reviewing each department. He questioned if the AmeriCorps program was reviewed. Supervisor Piotrowski responded that the Town Board began a review of the AmeriCorps and Youth Bureau but it was not completed. Mr. Kittner thought that the entire Town Board should have sat down together to do the review and then they would have answers to the questions the public was asking. He suggested that the Town Board finish the review of the AmeriCorps and Youth Bureau as a whole so they can give the public the answers they are looking for. Gerald Stefanacci, 28 Organ Crescent, questioned who authorized Mr. Lazzara to sign the grants. Supervisor Piotrowski advised that the previous Town Board authorized this. Councilman Graber stated that the town is the grantee and is obligated to fulfill all the criteria of each grant through December 2010. At that point, the AmeriCorps will take care of their own grants completely. A number of students spoke in favor of the Peer Counseling and YES programs and their positive experiences with the programs and asked that they not be cut. Scott Fleetwood, 50 Nina Terrace, referred to the discussion on the YES program and the $17,000 salaries, part of which is paid by outside funding. He questioned the $45,000 in overtime paid to an Account Clerk and asked if there was any reimbursement to the town for that money. He thought it would be better to hire an additional person than pay someone $45,000 in overtime. Mr. Bielecki responded that the Deputy Comptroller position was eliminated and some people in the department worked overtime. The Account Clerk title was antiquated and the duties of the position were expanded. He further noted that the Comptroller’s office was $24,000 under budget for 2008. Councilman Graber commented that if they add a position they have to consider the fringe benefits (health insurance, retirement, etc.), which amounts to 40 percent. It was much cheaper to pay someone overtime. Councilman Graber further stated that they were paying the YES directors $17,000 each and they receive outside funding from Lackawanna and Orchard Park, so the cost to the town was about $25,000. There are no hours related to this stipend; they could work 40 or 50 hours a week and still get the same amount. Councilman Graber also commented on how the program benefits the kids by allowing them to put community service on their college applications and receive scholarships.
Mrs. Minklei noted that no one suggested eliminating the YES program or Peer Counseling.
ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC YES PROGRAM, PEER COUNSELING, AMERICORPS ISSUES (continued) Councilwoman Meegan also commented that the Town Board did not intend to cut the YES program or Peer Counseling. The only discussion was on the funding of the programs and she did not know why the Peer Counselors would have told the students that their programs were in jeopardy. The Peer Counselors were carrying two titles and Erie County Personnel did not allow that. Councilwoman Meegan stated that the board members did not question the work the Peer Counselors did. They were doing a great job and obviously loved their jobs. The only problem was the job titles and Erie County Personnel had a solution to that problem. Councilman Graber noted that a resident in attendance at the last Town Board meeting was debating whether the town should be funding the programs. He thought the YES and Peer Counseling programs were positive programs and very inexpensive. Councilwoman Bove thanked the students that came to the meeting and spoke on this issue. Councilman Clarke stated that he was fully supportive of the YES program. Mike Pinnavaia, 78 Brantwood Drive, commented on the overtime paid in the Comptroller’s office and noted that other departments use out-of-title pay as stated in the White Collar contract to pay employees when they work out of their title. He suggested that Mr. Bielecki also use out-of-title pay; however, there was no title in the White Collar contract for Deputy Comptroller. Mr. Pinnavaia questioned how Mr. Bielecki would determine what the out-of-title pay would be. Supervisor Piotrowski responded that they would get back to Mr. Pinnavaia with an answer to his question. NATIVITY PRESENTED BY W.S. COMMUNITY OF CHURCHES Jan Dalbo, 105 Collins Avenue, represented the West Seneca Community of Churches, and stated that she served on a committee with Rev. Gossel and Mary Lou Dietrich last year to raise funds to purchase a new dimensional and durable nativity display for the town in keeping with a longstanding tradition of using a nativity as part of the Christmas celebration in West Seneca. The funds were raised through the cooperation of the member churches of the West Seneca Community of Churches, and Mrs. Dalbo presented the nativity to the Town of West Seneca for the enjoyment of the residents for many years to come. Supervisor Piotrowski and the council members thanked Mrs. Dalbo for the nativity display. SEWAGE BACKUP ON WEDGEWOOD DRIVE Haley Bolton, 16 Wedgewood Drive, referred to an ongoing problem with sewage back up on her street. It was a problem since she bought her house in 2002, but she understood that the problem actually existed for 45 years. Ms. Bolton recited various dates when the sewage backed up and stated that on March 11, 2009, Sewer Maintenance Worker Mark Kerner informed her that the sewers could not handle the capacity of the sewage going through them. She researched old records and found Town Board minutes, newspaper articles, and a petition asking for a resolution to the problem. Ms. Bolton asked for the Town Board’s help. Councilman Graber stated that Wedgewood Drive was part of Sewer District #13 and the town had been spending about $400,000 each year to reline the sewer pipes in that sewer district. However, the sewer system was 104 miles long and 85 percent of it was clay pipe, which were easy to break and had seals that dry up. Councilman Graber stated that the town was currently working with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) on an inflow and infiltration study. The pipes were not necessarily too small; there could be cracks in the pipes, tree roots going through them, or low spots that cause infiltration. The
ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC SEWAGE BACKUP ON WEDGEWOOD DRIVE (continued) town was obligated by the NYSDEC to embark on this elaborate study that will be costly, but they did not have a choice in the matter. Councilman Graber noted that the people in the sewer district had to pay for all the costs associated with the sewer district and it was not part of general town taxes or highway taxes. If they were to rebuild the entire sewer system at once it could possibly cost $15 million. The study will show the most difficult spots and things they can do quickly to reduce the inflow and infiltration. Councilman Graber stated that this was an old system, there were cracks all along it, and all the homes that discharged into it were suffering. They had been working along Orchard Park Road, Suburban Court, Dover Drive, and Greenmeadow Drive and were making improvements each year. As the improvements were made, the NYSDEC approved the construction of additional homes, but Councilman Graber did not believe they should be building any more houses in that sewer district. He stated that they will be putting flow meters in certain locations and televising various lines. Councilman Graber suggested that Ms. Bolton contact the Engineering Department and they will send someone out to make recommendations on what she can do in the meantime to help her situation. Mary Flynn, Circle End Drive, stated that she would like to see new drainage tile installed on her street. She understood there was only 6-inch pipe and it was not sufficient so the water was backing up. STORM SEWER AT CORNER OF LIND AVENUE AND CENTER ROAD Thomas Kelly, 54 Centerview Drive, referred to a situation when making a right turn from Lind Avenue onto Center Road. There is a storm sewer that is 4 to 5 inches below street level that could cause damage to a vehicle. He reported this to the Highway Department last year but did not get a reply. Mr. Kelly asked that the Town Board do something to resolve this problem. Highway Supt. Matthew English asked that Mr. Kelly see him after the meeting and leave his name and phone number so he could contact him after he looks at the situation. RESIDENT QUESTIONS VEHICLES PURCHASED Dolores Stefanacci, 28 Organ Crescent, referred to vehicles purchased earlier at the meeting and questioned why they were being bought from a dealer out of the WNY area. Highway Supt. Matthew English stated that the vehicles were purchased off the NYS contract and they were the cheapest price. PRESENTATION OF COMMUNICATIONS BY BOARD MEMBERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS NATIONAL PASSPORT DAY Town Clerk Patricia DePasquale announced that her office would be participating in National Passport Day on Saturday, March 28, 2009, 10:00 A.M. until 3:00 P.M. UPDATE ON CLINTON STREET OXBOW PROPERTY Town Attorney Edwin Hunter stated that he had received some documents from the attorney for the Jacobs’ estate on the oxbow property. Mr. Hunter noted that the property is landlocked so there are some access issues that need to be worked out. The Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper is involved in this along with the group that originally initiated the inquiry. Mr. Hunter understood that some grants were applied for and he would have to research this further.
PRESENTATION OF COMMUNICATIONS BY BOARD MEMBERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS HIRING OF ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR Councilman Graber stated that the Town Board met earlier this date to discuss hiring an electrical inspector for the town. Because this was a personnel issue, they met in Executive Session, but Councilman Graber wanted the public to know that the Town Board unanimously decided not to hire an electrical inspector since there were competent firms available such as Commonwealth Electric and New York Fire Underwriters. He noted that the town would be exposing itself to much liability if they were to hire their own electrical inspector, and the expense would actually exceed the revenue. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Councilman Graber, seconded by Supervisor Piotrowski, to adjourn the meeting at 9:00 P.M.
