Victor Town Board approves routine resolutions, sets sewer‑fee public hearing; narrowly OKs solar bond
Summary
The town board approved a slate of community and administrative resolutions, set a July 27 public hearing (and a 6:30 p.m. workshop) on proposed sanitary sewer connection fee increases, and approved a performance bond for a large solar facility with one recorded 'No' vote.
The Victor Town Board moved through routine business Monday, approving community event funding and personnel appointments, setting a public hearing on proposed sanitary sewer connection fee increases, and narrowly approving a performance bond for a large solar facility.
In personnel business the board approved Resolution No. 1 to appoint Shay as a full‑time confidential secretary through the town supervisor; Shay was congratulated and welcomed. The board also approved several community programming resolutions — summer concerts, visual‑arts classes, summer camp entertainment and similar items — by voice vote.
The board set a public hearing for July 27 on proposed increases to the sanitary sewer connection fee and scheduled a public workshop for that night from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. to explain and justify the proposed increases. The chair said the hearing will lay out the reasons for the fee change and asked staff to prepare materials for the workshop.
The board authorized a contract with Gomez & Sullivan Engineering to update emergency plans for the Boughton Park dams, noting most of the work is grant‑funded and the town’s out‑of‑pocket cost is limited. Members praised staff and recognized the need to keep filings current.
On a more contested item, the board approved the performance bond for the Norbert large‑scale solar facility. The motion passed with a recorded opposition: one board member cast a 'No' vote; the chair announced the tally as "3–1." No further debate or a detailed recorded roll‑call beyond that tally was entered into the record.
Chair (speaker 1) closed the meeting with community reminders, including a ribbon‑cutting at Dreyer Road Park to open a new playground at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
What happens next: the public hearing on sewer connection fees is scheduled for July 27 with a pre‑meeting workshop; staff will bring required materials to that session and the board will act after hearing public comment.
