Supervisor Woodard stated he had occasion to be at Yates Park at the time the American Red Cross was conducting their canoe training classes. The Instructor and members of the class (age group 14-40+) were very grateful for the use of the lake and wanted the Town to know that Yates Park is one of the most beautiful, clean, well equipped and supervised parks in the area.

 

Councilman Diggins reported many improvements' have been completed at Yates Park this year - new utility building, black top work, boat launch area, have been reconditioned and redesigned, roof has been put on shower room. We hope to have, at least started, two new shelters this summer. Shortly he shall have a meeting with Mr. Winiecki, the Town Engineer and Town Board members on the Recreation Committee to review the area and update necessary improvements needed. The Town Engineer is presently compiling a study re: weeds and problems of the lake and also the feasibility of stocking of the lake.

Councilman Mill reported the Orchard Park Rotary and Lions Club, as a joint venture, shall be using their monies for materials and member manpower to construct two shelters at the Park this summer for the enjoyment of the area residents.

 

Councilman Curley reported 1) he, as a member of the Town Board, has been and shall be involved in the proposed purchase by the Town of the Lincoln School Building from S.H. Gow and Co., Insurance Brokers. He had requested an opinion from the Ethics Committee as the Company that he is employed by does do business with this Insurance Broker. The Ethics Board has reached their decision and informed him that indeed there is no conflict of interest. This decision is filed in the Town Clerk's Office, and 2) a meeting was held with representatives of the Boys Club, the School District, the Y.M.C.A., Supervisor Woodard and himself at which Jack Baker, a U.B. Professor stated he was interested in making a study on duplication of recreational services, particularly in the area of programs, personnel and facilities in the Town of Orchard Park. Professor Baker has filed his report and proposals with Councilman Curley and the Recreation De­partment shall have a chance to review this and submit their ideas and proposals in this matter.

Councilman Mills reported the Zoning Commission shall meet next Monday, June 25th to finalize their review of the Zoning Ordinances of the Town of Orchard Park. They will then recess until 8/13/84 at which time they will reconvene to review the total pack-age to be presented to the Town Beard for their consideration.

 

9) (rescinded 8/1/84) THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN CURLEY, WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MILLS, TO WIT:

 

RESOLVED that the Town Board be and is hereby authorized to direct the Supervisor, the Town Attorney and Councilman Mills to enter into negotiations with the owner of the Lincoln Building Property for the purchase of such property, and be it further

 

RESOLVED that in the event the Town of Orchard Park secures title to such premises, the Lincoln Building be demolished and that a new town hall shall be constructed on the premises, and be it further

 

RESOLVED that the actions referred to herein shall be subject to a mandatory refer­endum on Election Day, November 6, 1984.

 

Before the vote was taken, a lengthy discussion was held by the Town Board.

Councilman Mill stated:

 

This issue did surface at the last public meeting and I think this will be voted on this evening. I would like to restate some of the items that I brought up at our last meeting. And, as I had mentioned at our last meeting, an option has surfaced that a private group is seriously interested in the purchase of this property and the re­storation and or renovation of the existing facilities, I again fully support this as a possibility as their plans call for the renovation of the Lincoln Building and the protection of the green area.

It appears that the open green area on this property holds the most concern by these residents that are concerned about the future use of this property. The Village Board has shown great concern about this property remaining as a green area in the Village. If this property is to remain as a green area, it would appear to me as though either the Village or a private group would have to purchase the property and renovate the building.

If the Town were to purchase the property as so indicated by the resolution just placed on the table, it would mean the present building would be razed and a new Town Hall and parking lot would be erected on the present green area, thus elim­inating most of the green area as it exists today.

 

There are of course, in my opinion, other options available to the Town at a frac­tion of the cost of what it would cost to purchase this property, raze the old building and build a new Town Hall.

 

Also there are a number of items I feel are still open ended. So far there has been no decision as to what would take place in respect to this building, what would take place in respect to the Annex Building, whether the Town would dispose of them, whether the Town would retain possession of them and I think that is extremely important when it comes to committing the Town to something the magnitude of what we are talking about here.

 

I realize that the resolution that has been placed on the table merely suggests that this item be placed on the ballot as a referendum. I am not opposed to the public voting on something the size of this project, but I do feel there are times when this Board is elected to make those decisions. I think at this time I must state I cannot vote for this kind of resolution. not that I am opposed, as I said, to allowing the Public to vote on it but I am thoroughly opposed to the cost it represents.

 

As I have stated before, and I am taking figures from not only our own Town Engineer who, as I know has put quite a bit of time into the research of What it would cost to build a new Town Hall, purchase the property, raze the old building, build a parking lot, fully outfit the new building, and various other costs that would be incurred by the Town to make this a completed project and I still believe those costs are in the area of $7-$8/Thousand in the taxes and I feel that is an exorbitant figure.

 

When this Town Board first started to discuss building needs, it was centered around the expansion of this present building, It was also centered around the necessity to provide additional space for the Police Department - period! There has always been concern about consolidating services, bringing various departments under one roof. Again, I am not opposed to that, providing the costs are within the area that I feel the Town can afford. I feel the tax rate that this kind of project represents is ex­orbitant. I don't feel that this Town will support nor can it afford this kind of tax increase. Surely a new Town Hall is only an alternative and surely protects the Town for many years to come, but again the present Town Hall seems to be working nicely with the exception of the needed space for the Police. There have been other options available to the Town - The expansion of this Town Hall at a much lesser cost repre­senting a very, very small tax increase for the additional space needed for the Police and, of course to make the Town Hall accessible to the handicapped as we all know we have to do.

 

The burden that this Town may carry if it cannot dispose of the Annex Building, and cannot dispose of this building and build a new Town Hall could be a burden that would be far and above what this Town can afford. We're facing times right now as we all see in the paper of a County that is deep in debt, with drastic cuts in the County and we're proposing here tonight to put ourselves in the same type of position. I don't feel thats right. Therefore, my vote will have to be negative on this resolution that has been placed on the table.

 

Councilman Mills stated:

 

First of all, I take exception to Councilman Mill's statement relating this Town and especially the Fiscal Officer to what has happened to the County of Erie. We don't run our Town that way. I take exception to that remark. We have a strong balance sheet. If you look at the balance sheet very very carefully you would see that we are in a strong financial position and not irresponsible. At no time was there an $8/Thousand figure. The highest figure that was brought up on this building project of a new Town Hail at the Lincoln site was about $7.04/Thousand. Further in depth study, which I have done, take that tax rate down to $4.20/Thousand. As far as disposition of the buildings, there are people in line for acquisition of this building and I'm sure the Annex Building could be disposed of also. There is no additional parking available here and decentra­lization of our government is not an efficient way to run a business nor a ,government. If we went to look at the County of Erie, maybe the County of Erie should look at some of their decentralization starting with the Southtowns Sewers and some of the other departments we have. I'm not taking shots at the County of Erie but mismanagement.: whether it be in private or public sector, of Municipal Government is very costly to the taxpayer whether it be unemployment rolls or with increase in taxes on Municipal dwellings. I think to let this Lincoln Property go by is definitely down the line maybe as short as 10 years is going to effect the expansion of our government within our Town and the efficient running of government in this Town. I totally disagree with any com­parison with between Orchard Park and the County of Erie's fiscal responsibility and I totally disagree with the idea that we cannot dispose of this property nor that we have to assume a tax rate of $7 - $8/Thousand. That is totally misrepresented.

 

Councilman Mill:

 

I would like to respond to that - First off, Councilman Mills, I did not say the Town was irresponsible. You answered your own question by saying this Town is financially sound. The reason this Town is financially sound is that we have kept this Town out

of debt. To put this Town into a $3,000,000.00 debt, which that figure is firm, I feel, will destroy, in my mind at least, some of the financial credibility we have. Also, $7.04/Thousand that we talk of and that figure, I have seen no other figures any lower than $7.04/Thousand, was predicated on a 9% interest rate some months ago. We all know that interest rate is now above 9%. The figures that you quote are something that you have and I have not seen and I don't know if any other Board member has seen. How you arrived at those figures I have no idea. I don't know of any of the people that put together the figures for us which I said earlier our Town Engineer and our Accountant who I feel we rely upon for this kind of information. To compare this Town with the County of Erie is not what I'm doing. What I'm saying is the County is finding itself in a very serious financial state. When the County finds itself in that kind of state, it only draws us down. That has to happen. We have commitments that the County will be placing upon us that will cost us an enormous amount of money. The last time the County had this same kind of problem, you weren't on the Board, but I can tell you it cost us a lot of money. We are looking at other projects that I feel hold a much higher priority than a new Town Hall. There is nothing saying that piece of property over there is sacred for a Town Hall. There is much other property, as I see it at least, in the Town, close to the Village that would allow for the construction of a new Town Hall and Muni­cipal Facilities without taking the most prime piece of property in the Village. And I agree with you it probably is the most prime piece of property in the Village. I don't know why that has to be taken as a Municipal Facility. Lastly, we are all in receipt of a letter from the owner of the property stating he has, in the wings, a private group ready and willing to purchase the property and renovate the building. Many of the people who are talking to us. are concerned about the green area and the renovation of the build­ing. We're saying we are going to destroy the green area and tear down the building. It doesn't make any sense to me.

 

Councilman Diggins:

 

At the last meeting I gave my final report on this Building Needs. In that report I said that I felt the Lincoln site was the most advantageous for the location of a new Town Hall and I still believe that. That means the demolishing of the old building, which I am not in favor of keeping. I also feel very strongly with the proper education and the proper mail outs and information that goes out to the Voter stated as honestly, completely and effectively as we can, I think that completes one of our big obligations to the people. I feel very safe in allowing the people to make a decision on this, but I feel just as strongly that they must be aware of all of the ramifications of it. I do not want to quarrel with any of the Councilmen. I know there have been rumors for other uses for it and unfortunately this has put the Town Board in the role of teetering on the top rail of the fence, kind, of afraid to do anything on this. I've heard the report of a citizens group that wanted to buy it, I've heard the possibility of the Village wanting to buy it for a green area. None of these things have actually materialized, but they still might. I think what our action tonight could provide, the cata­lyst for some of the groups to come forward and make some movement. As for a green area, I really don't see in the cards right now how that's going to stay green area. I think the best bet for keeping it as Status Quo as possible is to put a brand new Town Hall there and leave the landscaping in the hands of a very concerned group - the Town Board. I think that's the ultimate in keeping the maximum green area. It's not all

going to stay green, obviously, but it is not going to stay green either if it is sold

to private individuals. The only way it is going to stay green is pretty much Status Quo and I don't, quite frankly, see that as happening, I don't see the Village buy­ing it and I don't see the small interest group purchasing it. So therefore; I shall vote affirmative on the referendum.

 

Supervisor Woodard:

 

I received a letter today from Mr. Gow and Limy letter I stated to him that until a formal opinion has been received from the State Comptroller that the Town Board would not take any action regarding the purchase and the option of spending $2,000.00/month of Taxpayers money and whether it was legal to spend that money. Until that opinion is received by the Counsel, I have to say that I shall not vote in favor of the reso­lution.

 

Councilman Curley:

 

I just want to say the purpose of this resolution is certainly not to divide this Board. The worst thing that could happen is to have a divided Board to give ambiguous signals to the Voters. As Councilman Diggins says, we expect to fully inform the Voters. We are also placing this on the November Election when traditionally the most people come out

to vote, this being a Presidential Election. This resolution merely states our intention It tells the people from Lincoln Park Associates that, yes, the Town is very serious', we've appointed a committee, we're going to take it to the Voters in November to acquire the property, to alleviate any doubts as to what we're going to do with the building, we're going to demolish the building and we're going to build a new Town Hall there. What we're going to do with the Annex, I suppose, has a lot to do with whether the Vil­lage will throw in with us. What we shall do with this building has a lot to do with what the Village wants to do with this building. Remember now, that the Village has equal say in anything that goes on with this building.

 

I think there are a couple of other things, Mr. Supervisor. This Town is in debt, that's not a negative term. You're very well aware of the fact that a good chunk of our budget goes for debt service each year. Our sewer districts, our water districts borrow, our different funds borrow and this is nothing new to us. It's something we certainly don't like to do, but it's something we do in the course of our business. I'm familiar with the $4.20/Thousand tax rate that Councilman Mills mentioned. That schedule was prepared by our accountant Main-Hurdman. He very conservatively uses a *% rate. That 9 rate pertains to the Town ability to borrow on the excellent credit rating out Town has. And finally; Mr. Supervisor, as Councilman Diggins states, he is Chairman of the Committee that has looked arduously at the task of finding an alternative to this Town Hall or a place for us thru the year 2010 has come up with this. We had 13 alternatives; as rec­ently as two months ago. We have been - boil those down to this one final alternative. I don't want to compromise the integrity of the Police Department and continue this in-efficiency in government. I think that by acquiring this property, by demolishing the building and putting up a new Town Hall we'll have a much more efficient operation with the Village, hopefully, Hall under one roof, sharing Court, Town Hall and Village Trustee government. We will take this to the people and if the people so wish to increase their taxes by a modest sum of $4.20/Thousand, they will vote affirmative on the bond issue. I am very pleased to sponsor this resolution.
