Loading...
Summary
At the April 13 meeting the Depew Board approved permission to sign a Phase 10 cap for a DEC consent order, accepted two court officer resignations, approved auction results totaling $4,292.00, appointed a parks laborer and authorized a letter of intent for a landfill solar PV project.
The Village of Depew Board of Trustees approved a series of routine but consequential items during its April 13 meeting, including authorization for a Phase 10 cap under a DEC consent order, auction results, two court officer resignations, an appointment in the Parks & Recreation Department and authorization for a solar PV letter of intent at the DPW landfill.
In a roll-call vote the board authorized Mayor Kevin J. Peterson to sign the corrected scope of work and proposal to complete the cap for Phase 10 of a DEC consent order; the resolution was moved and approved unanimously. The transcript indicates the village continues work required under the DEC order but did not provide further schedule or cost details at the meeting.
The board approved results from Auctions International for the auction ending April 1, 2026, totaling $4,292.00. Notable lots recorded in the motion included a 2002 Peterbilt dump-and-plow truck sold for $4,150 and several smaller items (a low-vision magnifier for $90; fitness equipment and sewing machines at nominal amounts). The board also accepted the resignations of court officers Dale Adamski (effective March 25, 2026) and Joshua Spalding (effective April 2, 2026).
Mayor Peterson appointed Matthew Gary as a full-time regular laborer in Parks & Recreation effective April 13, 2026; the appointment passed on a roll-call vote. The board also authorized the mayor to sign a letter of intent with National Energy Development for a solar photovoltaic project at the Department of Public Works landfill on Rutherford Street. Trustees asked clarifying questions about labeling (PV = photovoltaic, and the phase numbering) before approving the authorization.
The finance committee presented claims and accounts audited for payment: $250,025.14 from the general fund, $4,946.04 from sewer, and $45,711 from capital projects for a total of $300,682.18; the board approved payment. The meeting concluded after a moment of silence for Tony Rogacki, a 35-year member of the Hook and Ladder Company who died following a long-term cancer diagnosis, and adjourned at about 7:36 p.m.
