The meeting was open to the floor for public comment and the following Webster residents
appeared before the Town Board.
Christopher Nacca, Webster resident, came before the Board to express concerns about recent
commercial developments, particularly the proliferation of fast-food establishments. Mr. Nacca
voiced concern over the use of valuable property for businesses that primarily offer low-wage
jobs. He pointed out that workers at these establishments, often earning $16.50 per hour, are
burdened with late-night shifts and economic insecurity, while the cost of living - including rent
and utilities, continues to rise. Mr. Nacca questioned whether these developments truly serve the
long-term interests of the community.
In response, Deputy Supervisor Cataldi clarified that businesses like fast food restaurants must
follow zoning regulations and appear before planning boards, though the current zoning codes
allow for such developments. The Board emphasized that no financial benefit is received
personally by Board members and that a new Comprehensive Plan is under review to better
evaluate future development. Mr. Nacca and Councilman Cahill briefly discussed the challenge
of rising housing costs and the disappearance of trade education in schools, lamenting the
societal push toward college while neglecting skilled labor opportunities.
Mr. Nacca concluded by reflecting on the economic hardship faced by young and working-class
residents, especially those in trade or service jobs with limited benefits. He noted the
disproportionate responsibility placed on young workers at fast food restaurants to meet the
community’s needs. The conversation ended on a hopeful note, with Deputy Supervisor Cataldi
mentioning new opportunities from fairlife, which promises higher wages and better employment
prospects, possibly offering a more sustainable economic future for Webster residents.

Dave Malecki, West Webster resident, came before the Board and stated the following:
BRIDGE IT 24/7/365. He first heard, “BRIDGE IT” in response to the events forty years ago,
when the Lake Road bridge over Irondequoit Creek was suddenly destroyed. Mr. Malecki
stated, “why doesn’t the Webster Town Board improve the link to Irondequoit? The Town
Board seems to be ignoring the public regarding the IBOB”.
