ELECTED OFFICIALS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS
Supervisor Travers Murphy stated she, Councilwoman Ackerman and her Secretary, Roberta Buczkowski, were working with the Natural Environmental, Inc., the Town’s current garbage pickup contractor, to resolve complaints and problems regarding recycling and trash pickup.
Councilwoman Ackerman expanded upon the new program that would be implemented by N.E.I. after the collection issues are resolved. Then she stated with the pre-media attention about the Wal-Mart Superstore, she asked the representatives for the Wal-Mart Superstore to give a brief presentation of the project. She encouraged Mr. Buchheit, the developer, to hold an informational meeting to answer questions that the public might have. At this time, Councilwoman Ackerman introduced the developer of Quaker Crossing and his team of architects, Peter Giovenco & Steve Thompson from Bergmann Associates and Elisa Tsang who is with APD Engineering.
Supervisor Travers Murphy asked Mr. Giovenco how long he and his team planned on addressing the Town Board this evening. She stated she and the other board members were not made aware that the group would be giving any kind of presentation, as it was not on the agenda. When Mr. Giovenco asked if the Town Board was interested in or had any questions on the traffic study, Supervisor Travers Murphy stated that she had many questions, but tonight was not the time or place to address them.
Mr. Giovenco stating this evening the reason why the Wal-Mart Corporation chose to locate in Orchard Park was that they have decided to slow the growth of Sam’s Clubs, in Western New York, and fill the void left by the closing of the McKinley Parkway Wal-Mart store. Since the Sam’s Club is not going to be built, Wal-Mart wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to construct a super center. The site plan would be compliant with the zoning and the building facade would compliment the characteristics of the Quaker Crossing Development. One of the last comments Mr. Giovenco stated to the Town Board is that they should refer to their packets which gives them a full description of the project.
Councilwoman Yeomans and Councilman Kaczor stated that they had not received any packets regarding the project. Councilwoman Yeomans also stated she was very disappointed in the way this was handled for she too did not have any clue this presentation was going to be giving this evening.

When operational, residents will be able to visit the Recreation Building and surrounding park grounds and have access to the internet via their laptop computers. The Western New York Wi-Fi Association is providing the Town with technical assistance and hope to be operational by this summer.
