Each increase and improvement to said water districts and the establishment of exten­sion 2 of water district #17 relate to the project contemplated to replace the Village water facilities, which shall be terminated in the near future as soon as this project is completed, if the Town Board approves.

 

Mr. Berkowitz turned the hearing over to Mr. John Reid and Mr. Richard SanGiacomo from the consulting Engineers who reviewed for the audience the proposed project, the pro-posed project will consist of 14 separate projects but they are all interrelated. They reviewed the background, the description of the proposed facilities the source of sup-ply and water demands, and the estimated cost to homeowners, including bonding amounts and costs. It is proposed the Erie County Water Authority operate and maintain the district under Lease Management. The Erie County Water Authority rate for water is lower than the Village rate. The additional hydrants proposed hopefully would reduce the insurance coverage for owners. The majority of Eagle Heights residents, hopefully shall be able to remove their existing pumps.

 

PROPONENTS

 

Dennis Wagner, 263 Stonehenge Drive - water from West Falls is dirty and the water pressure is very low.

Thomas Morrow, Village Trustee - stated this is a joint effort of the Town and Village and urged the Town to adopt these proposals.

16) THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN CURLEY, WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MILL, TO WIT:

 

WHEREAS, the Town Board did receive a letter from the Board of Fire Commissioners voicing their concerns in the matter of inspections of hazardous materials, and

 

WHEREAS, the Orchard Park Fire District, with many other districts, lobbied hard and long with the New York State Legislature and the Fireman's Association of the State of New York to provide funds for the enforcement of the State-wide Fire Code, and

 

WHEREAS, funds here have been transmitted to the Town and Village of Orchard Park since 1982 with a joint total fund of approximately $100,00.00, and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Fire Commissioners are concerned as to where these monies have been and are expended

 

NOW, THEREFORE, be it

 

RESOLVED that the Town Board be and is hereby authorized to direct John Malloy, the Town Auditor, to set up a fund, separate from the General Fund, if permissible by law, for the separate accounting of monies received and expended by the Town of Orchard Park in conjunction with the Fire Prevention and the Code enforcement of the State-wide fire code.

 

Before the vote was taken, John (Jonesie) Capriotto, Orchard Park Fire Commissioner, asked the Board if they can account for the expenditure of these funds as, according to his records, there has been no fire code enforcement in the last six years. The tags from some of the buildings that Mr. VanDeCarr, the Town appointed Hazardous Materials Inspector, inspected had the years 1981 and 1984 on them.

 

Dave Slotman, Chief of the Orchard Park Fire District, stated to date he has received only about 26± inspector reports and these were received during the last two months. If more have been done, the Fire Company does not have copies. It is important and vital to the Fire Companies to have copies of all inspections so that the firemen know what to expect if and when a fire happens in one of these areas.

 

A discussion was held by Councilmen Mill, Curley, "Jonesie" and Dave Slotman and it was decided many of these problems could be resolved by having a joint meeting.
