Recreation Report
Tom Venniro reported the football field at the Town Hall will have 6" of tested soil added so the
field can be used without further monitoring. This is in response to a court case over the last
several years about contaminated soil on this site. The court ruled the Town must mitigate the
soil; this will complete the Town's obligation for remediation.
The department has experienced some personnel turnover recently. Tom is working to to fill
some positions.
Preschool before and after school program is set to start on the first day of school. This is a new
program for them.
A request from the group that plays Pickle ball for window blinds in the gym has been made.

executive board to form a work group. They will be meeting with the owners of Village II
apartments for water/creek issues.

located on the Village border, Mike Lissow and Mike McHenry have been working to address
water runoff issues in this area.
1
Unionville Station: Mike Lissow attended a meeting of their Board of Managers. They
discussed homeowner's responsibilities and some conflicting information among their board. It

Second quarter sales tax: The payment made to the Village is $332,911; this is $1500 more than

Audit: The auditors are scheduled to be in the Village Office the first week of October to
conduct our annual financial audit.

Canandaigua National Bank.
Resolution to authorize the Treasurer to renew 3 month CD at 1.75% with CNB. Trustee
Zabelny made the motion, seconded by Trustee Gates. Carried unanimously 5-0.
Superintendent Report
Car Show: Mike McHenry reported this was the 5th anniversary, the event was successful and
the committee has consistently taken more responsibilities off of the village staff.
Community Center: Electric upgrades are scheduled from September 10th through October 13th.
There is no expected impact on the Apple Fest.
DPW Roof: Mike explained it was necessary to solicit additional bids due to the low bidder
backing out recently. He is recommending accepting the low bid from Weathertight
Installations for $47,895.00
Resolution to accept the bid of $48,000, from Weathertight Installations, motion made by
Trustee Fowler, seconded by Trustee Speer. Carried unanimously 5-0.
Parks: Mike will be working with MRB Group to prepare a bid package for the Jennejahn Lodge
renovations. The construction is to begin March 2, 2019.
Concrete Swale cleaning: The DPW has cleaned out 2 miles of sediment and vegetation which
took three weeks to complete. Mike commended Chad McManus, Cody Kelly, Andy Steiger
and Jeff Pearce for the excellent job they did on this project.

Shared Services: Mike reported the following shared services:
One Village employee and one dump truck were used for a 2 day county project on Parma
Center Rd. This will bring in revenue of over $2,000.00.
The Town of Hamlin Highway Department lent their tracked skid steer for 2 weeks for
concrete swale cleanout, saving over $2,800.00 in rental fees.
The school district lent their lift for tree trimming and their slice seeder to repair lawn areas
damaged while cleaning the concrete swales.
Streetlights: Two complaints of lighting have been addressed by installing light shields. The
shields are specific to the location of the spillage and cost $50 each. This appears to mitigate the
issues.

Managers Report
Community Center Security: Shari Pearce reported a meeting was held with the safety team and
SG Security. With the new upgraded security system recently installed, additional panic buttons
can be added to the system. The board discussed ordering seven additional panic buttons for the
building and agreed to add the maximum.
Resolution to approve the purchase of additional panic buttons at a cost of $1,102.69 and to
require a security deposit from the tenants of $110 per unit, Trustee Gates made the motion,
seconded by Trustee Zabelny. Carried unanimously, 5-0.
The safety team also met with three deputies from the Monroe County Sheriff's Department to
perform a needs assessment on what the Village can do to make the community center safer.
The Community Center is unique with their occupants. There is the Village Office, Town
Recreation Offices, Daycare Center, Food Shelf, Senior Center, Apple Festival Organization and
many public/community groups that occupy space. There are limitations as to what the Village
3
can do and provide. The list below is what is suggested by the Sheriffs to work towards to
implementing.
1. Film on exterior doors
2. Add a mirror in the elevator
3. Modify the Village Office window
4. PA system
5. Latch for auditorium door
6. Place room numbers inside the rooms
7. Deadbolts/new locks in certain rooms
Trustee Fowler recommends modifications to the Village Office window be the first priority.
Hilton Community Child Care/tenant: A 12 month payment plan lease has been requested by the
daycare owner. After a detailed discussion, it was determined based on the lateness of the term
of the lease, a 10 month lease is only appropriate. The board also has requested the daycare
owner be asked to sign a personal guarantee on her lease. Shari will meet with the daycare
owner to discuss the new terms.
Parma Special Police: Shari reported a meeting was held this past month to discuss the
relocation of the special police room from the Town Hall to the Community Center and a
possible captain selection. The team was in agreement to relocate the room as long as the special
police force was satisfied. No decision on captain was made.
Recreation Intermunicipal Agreement: There is a meeting scheduled September 7th with the
Town Supervisor, Tom Venniro, Mayor Lee, Trustee Speer and Shari Pearce to discuss the
agreement.
Clock repairs: Trustee Speer received a call from Doug Klock regarding donations for the recent
maintenance project. Mr. Klock expressed that since his father, John Klock, donated the clock in
Hovey Square he wants his father only to be associated with the clock and requested the recently
added plaque with the donor's names be removed. The board was not in favor of this action, the
Village has been taking care of the clock since the 1998 installation.
Jennejahn Family: A Jennejahn family member requested a reduction in rental fees be made to
their family for their annual reservation. The Jennejahn family is given the courtesy to reserve
any date of their choosing each year. The board has received several similar requests from
residents and community groups; they agree it would not be fair to honor this for anyone.
Clean Energy Community: Shari Pearce and the management team will be meeting with Matt
Halladay from the Genesee Finger Lakes Council to discuss additional information about the
action items that can be put into place. The meeting is scheduled for September 18th in the
office and Village Board members are invited to attend.
Parking tickets: They have been ordered and once the Secretary of State's office sends their final
approval, the new process can begin.
