Aye Councilwoman Wright...... Aye Motion carried .................... 4-0 *** Art Petrone, Deputy Commissioner of Public Works - Sewer, presented the next matter. Mr. Petrone stated that Barton & Loguidice (B&L) is progressing design and permitting to support and protect the 8-inch sanitary sewer pipe crossing Shipbuilder’s Creek which has been undermined by erosion of the stream. The original intent was for stone stabilization upstream and downstream for the pipeline to be progressed as an emergency action until a more comprehensive stream/infrastructure stabilization project could be progressed. B&L and the Town of Webster representatives met virtually with NYSDEC Region 8 staff for a pre- application permitting meeting on March 4, 2025. The NYSDEC requested a site visit with B&L, which was conducted on March 13, 2025. As a result of these meetings, NYSDEC determined that the work could not progress under emergency authorization and additional design/permitting requirements would be required. Therefore, the amendment to the project is required to continue. The Town Board then considered the following Resolution: Resolution No. 153: MOTION by Councilwoman Cataldi, seconded by Councilwoman Wright, to approve Change Order No. 1 for Barton & Loguidice, D.P.C. contract in regards to Shipbuilder’s Creek.
