Irondequoit Town Board approves routine contracts, accepts $75,000 ASPCA grant and extends waste-hauler permitting
Summary
At its Feb. 17 meeting the Irondequoit Town Board approved multiple routine resolutions — including software and website contracts, an agreement with Rochester on paving, a special-event license, personnel moves, and acceptance of a $75,000 ASPCA grant for animal-shelter upgrades — and the supervisor reported that Cassella and Waste Management have returned required documents and have permits through year-end.
The Irondequoit Town Board on Feb. 17 approved a series of routine resolutions covering personnel, technology contracts, intergovernmental infrastructure work and grants.
Key votes and outcomes included approval of a resolution appointing a new town board member to fill the seat vacated by the supervisor (the appointee was sworn in at the meeting), acceptance of a $75,000 ASPCA New York shelter standards implementation grant for animal-isolation and kennel upgrades, and passage of contracts to implement a municipal code/compliance cloud system and to redesign the town website.
Commissioner McGee introduced and the board approved a new agreement with the City of Rochester to align paving at jurisdictional boundaries so paving reaches major intersections; the city will reimburse the town for work in its jurisdiction. The board also approved a special-event license for Shamrock Jacks LLC for its annual St. Patrick's Day festival (March 13–17) and an agreement to allow festival parking at Seabbze Park with a reimbursed police detail.
On administrative matters the board approved a step increase to compensate an employee taking on payroll duties, authorized reimbursement to Livingston County for training costs tied to a transferred officer, and called a March public hearing to solicit comment on the town's Community Development Block Grant program for Aug. 1, 2026–July 31, 2027. Several motions passed after routine mover/second votes; a small number of members were recorded as saying "I opposed" on a few items but detailed roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript.
Supervisor Pericone also reported an operational update: after a town group met separately with Cassella and Waste Management both firms returned required documents and their permits are now extended through the end of the year.
Why it matters: The actions fund technology and infrastructure upgrades, accept grant funding for animal-services improvements without a local match, and set up outreach for next year's CDBG program. The paving agreement could reduce patchwork paving along municipal boundaries.
Next steps: The controller will present final 2025 preliminary results at the March meeting following close of year-end processing; the town indicated it will follow up on the petition and police-policy questions raised during public comment.
