Summary
The Town Board approved the consent agenda, event permits for Relay for Life, multiple special use and tower permit renewals, declared the town-wide water meter replacement a Type II SEQR action, set public hearings for consolidated water district improvements and authorized payroll/bill payments.
At its March 3 meeting the Town of Grand Island Town Board approved a consent agenda of routine items and individually acted on several planning, building and administrative items.
The consent agenda (approved by roll call) included building permits issued in February 2025, Grand Island Police Department calls for service for February 2025, facility usage requests for the Golden Age Center and conservation easement matters from the Western New York Land Conservancy for properties on Grand Island.
The board approved event permits for Relay for Life Grand Island to use the Town Commons on May 17, 2025 (1 p.m.–10 p.m.) and authorized a Krispy Kreme donut pickup fundraiser in the Tomahawk parking lot on May 10, 2025 (9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.). The board approved various special-use permit renewals and tower/site-plan renewals after confirming inspections and fee payments: Lindsay Cruz (special use; keeping one agricultural animal on 5.5 acres) was referred to the planning board and a public hearing was set for April 7, 2025 at 8 p.m.; Glen Wallace (bed-and-breakfast) renewal was reapproved after inspection; E2I Ventures LLC (apartment building density condition per section 407-61(a)(6)(c)) was reapproved as inspected; Crown Castle tower permit at 2041 Bridal Road was renewed.
The Department of Engineering and Water Resources recommended and the board declared the town-wide water meter replacement project (Job MD-244) a Type II action under SEQR, meaning no further SEQR action was required. The board also set a public hearing for improvements to the Town of Grand Island Consolidated Water District for April 7, 2025 at 8 p.m. (a motion to set the public hearing passed by roll call).
The board approved a personnel title change in Parks (Joe Killian to Parks Mechanic, effective March 29, 2025, with no change in pay) and approved the audit committee's recommendation to pay bills across funds: general, highway, sewer and water fund totals were read into the record and approved by roll call (total listed in transcript: $1,121,431.45 across funds per the audio record provided). The audit committee motion and roll call to pay the bills was recorded.
