Proclamation for Heroic Action

Presented to

Derrick Blakeley, Mohamed Jidou, Adrian Humphrey, and Officer Thomas

Turner

WHEREAS, the courage and empathy required to rescue another life are immeasurable. The

Town of Webster is fortunate to have those who act in the face of adversity, especially in support

of their neighbors, in our community; and

WHEREAS, on December 23, 2025, Derrick Blakeley, Mohamed Jidou, Adrian Humphrey, and

Officer Thomas Turner quickly responded to a dire situation that developed when a vehicle

plunged into a pond at Webster Towne Center. Thinking only of the safety of the driver, they

entered the frigid water and worked together to rescue the driver from the submerged vehicle;

and

WHEREAS, these heroes had no knowledge of who was inside of the vehicle, nor did they have

any knowledge of the identity of the others entering the pond to help. They were united by the

mission to save a life in danger; and

02-05-2026

Webster Town Board

WHEREAS, compassionately, Derrick, Mohamed, Adrian, and Thomas ensured the driver was

secured on land and deemed stable before leaving the site of the accident. Each of these

individuals who entered the water to help are well regarded for their responses when disaster

arose, and all serve as a powerful example of what it means to look out for the wellbeing of

others; and

WHEREAS, the quick response time of these four witnesses led to a successful rescue without

serious or life-threatening injuries. What could have been a disastrous situation at the end of

2025 turned out much better thanks to the courageous actions of Good Samaritans. Their noble

deed and swift action cannot be properly extolled.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, on behalf of the Webster Town Board and the

entire Webster community, we extend our sincerest appreciation for your heroic action in service

to Webster.

February 5, 2026

Alexander B. Scialdone, Town Supervisor

***

Chief Kohlmeier expressed appreciation for the individuals who responded to the dangerous

water rescue incident that occurred, emphasizing the extreme cold and hazardous conditions. He

acknowledged the courage required to enter frigid water and noted that the family of the 65-year

lifelong Webster resident involved in the incident was deeply grateful. Although the family was

unable to attend, they asked that a sincere and heartfelt thank-you be conveyed for the

responders’ efforts.

Adrian Humphrey described the rescue incident, noting that Derrick was the first to enter the

water, Mohamed followed, and he himself was third. He shared a lighthearted moment, joking

that Officer Turner initially appeared ready to arrest them for “swimming in the pond”.

He expressed gratitude for being part of the Webster community, where he works part-time in

the Community Development Office as an Assistant Building Inspector, describing it as a

positive and enjoyable work environment. As a transplant to the area, he conveyed appreciation

for being welcomed into the community and thanked both his Brighton family and his fiancée for

their support, stating he is proud to be part of a place “Where Life is Worth Living”.

Derrick Blakeley shared that he grew up in Webster and expressed his love for the community.

He said he was grateful to have been present during the emergency. He explained that the

personal challenges he faced the previous year led him to begin ice-water training as a way to

cope and build resilience. He credited his faith in God and Jesus for guiding him through those

difficult times and for placing him in the right situation to help save a life. Derrick reflected that

his past suffering ultimately prepared him for that critical moment, which he described as deeply

meaningful and special.

***

The meeting was open to the floor for public comment and the following Webster residents

appeared before the Town Board.

Webster Town Board

Chris Nacca, a Webster resident, came before the Board and thanked those involved in the

rescue for their bravery, stating that their actions were special and that the community needs

more people like them. He praised their efforts regardless of whether they were lifelong

residents or transplants.

He then reflected on the broader context of the week, noting that significant discussions and

planning efforts had taken place regarding Webster’s future. He expressed optimism about the

collaboration among both new and familiar faces working together to strengthen the community.

Mr. Nacca concluded by saying he is proud of and respects those involved and appreciates the

opportunity to address them.

Monica Gorlick, a Webster resident, came before the Board and praised the Town’s plow

drivers for their excellent work but raised a specific concern about snow being pushed back onto

a fire hydrant she regularly clears near her home at Route 250 and Tall Birch Trail. She

described repeatedly shoveling heavy snow—sometimes waist-high—after plows pass and refill

the area around the hydrant.

She proposed a practical solution

when plow drivers see a fire hydrant (clearly marked with a

pole), they could briefly lift the plow or steer slightly around the hydrant area—similar to how

they maneuver around trash and recycling bins—to avoid pushing excessive snow back into the

cleared space. She emphasized safety for both drivers and pedestrians and reiterated her

appreciation for the plow crews and her support for the community.

Scott Steinfeldt, a Webster resident, came before the Board to commend the Town for its

snowplowing efforts on state and county roads but raised concerns about the lack of timely

plowing and salting in local subdivisions, including his own on Cherry Laurel Circle. He

emphasized that residents pay taxes and expect their neighborhood roads to be maintained

properly.

He requested that the Town Board and Highway Department address the issue, noting that

similar communities like Penfield and Brighton manage to plow residential areas effectively.

While he acknowledged the Town’s good work on public areas like parking lots and main roads,

he stressed that local subdivisions are being overlooked and urged the Highway Superintendent

to prioritize them. He offered his contact information to facilitate follow-up.

Webster Town Board

A general discussion took place between Town Board members and Maria Dewar,

Administrative Assistant for the Director of Community Planning and Development, regarding

the following Resolution.

Ms. Dewar explained why the Town is using Colliers Engineering for services related to the

FAST New York Grant, which was facilitated through the Webster Economic Development

Alliance (WEDA) for both the Town and Village. She noted that due to the project’s scope,

Colliers Engineering was recommended for grant administration.

Councilwoman Wright asked about the $40,000.00 cost for the Town (and an equivalent amount

for the Village), whether competitive pricing or bids were considered, and how the contract

structure works. Ms. Dewar explained it is a time-and-materials contract, with the amount drawn

down as work progresses, and that WEDA managed the grant process, so pricing decisions were

largely outside the Town’s control.

Councilman Wagner asked for the historical context, noting that previously Matt Chatfield

handled similar work for WEDA without additional fees. Now, Mr. Chatfield is no longer part

of WEDA, Colliers is performing the services, which represent an extra cost but provides

professional capacity and avoids paying benefits for an individual employee. The Board agreed

to monitor spending and evaluate whether hiring a dedicated municipal project manager might be

cost-effective in the future.

Resolution No. 80: MOTION by Councilman Hunter, seconded by Councilwoman Wright, to

authorize the Town Supervisor to sign a contract with Colliers Engineering for grant

administration services related to the FASTNY Grant in an amount not to exceed $40,000.00.

Webster Town Board

Paul Adams, Director of Finance, explained that the Town currently uses a fully paper-based

process for vouchers and purchase orders, requiring Board members to physically sign sheets for

approval. The Town has the Munis Financial Software System, which can enable a paperless,

electronic process, but implementation has been delayed. Brayton Connard, the recently retired

Human Resources Director and former lead for the paperless voucher project, has offered to

return temporarily for 60–90 days to serve as a part-time project manager to complete the rollout.

His work would include testing workflows, gathering department-level feedback, and developing

internal controls for employees and department heads.

Councilman Wagner discussed logistics, including using the Sewer Department as a beta test due

to staff familiarity with the system, addressing workflow rules currently known only by a former

employee (Brayton), comparing costs with external Munis support at approximately $150 per

hour, and ensuring department participation in testing the process as prior rollout attempts in

Sewer, Highway, and Parks and Recreation had zero engagement despite training.

Mr. Adams also clarified that hiring Brayton would be as a W-2 part-time employee, reporting to

himself, and emphasized the long-term cost savings and efficiency gains from reducing paper

use, storage, and retrieval time.

Consensus was reached to table the Resolution temporarily to allow further discussion with

departments, confirm staff capacity, and finalize the best scope for the project before formally

authorizing the temporary position.

Resolution No. 82: MOTION by Councilman Wagner, seconded by Councilwoman Wright, to

table a Resolution to authorize a temporary part-time position to serve as Project Manager for

the transition to electronic vouchers ending on June 30, 2026.

Attorney for the Town, Kyle Taylor, reviewed the proposed engagement letter drafted by the

Town’s Labor Attorney, Bolaños Labor Law, PLLP, which corresponded with the following

Resolution. Mr. Taylor recommended narrowing the engagement letter scope for clarity. The

Board decided to reschedule the Resolution for two weeks later to allow time to define the scope

more precisely and outline an expected budget. Mr. Taylor’s guidance focused on ensuring the

letter clearly specifies its purpose and associated costs before the Board takes action.

Resolution No. 83: MOTION by Supervisor Scialdone, seconded by Councilman Hunter, to

reschedule the February 19, 2026 Town Board Meeting, to authorize the Town Supervisor to

sign an updated engagement letter with the Town’s labor attorney Bolaños Labor Law, PLLP.

Webster Town Board

Paul Adams, Finance Director, explained that the Town received an engagement letter from

MSC LLC, a subsidiary of Bonadio, to provide Federal tax credit compliance services for the

renewable energy project. The purpose of MSC’s work is to ensure compliance with the IRS

80/20 rule, which requires valuing the assets being replaced and comparing that to the cost of

new assets. This step is critical to securing the federal tax credit and must be done thoroughly

and documented properly.

Councilman Cahill expressed concern about timing and cost, noting that design work with

Navatas has already begun and that prior reviews, such as the Withum Safe Harbor Memo, only

provided a superficial assessment. MSC’s engagement letter, as currently written, does not

include the 80/20 test in phase one, which is legally binding, and needs to be updated in both

scope and price before the Board can vote.

There was discussion about the 60–90 day timeline for completion and whether it could be

accelerated to reduce risk of wasting taxpayer funds.

The Board agreed to reschedule the Resolution for two weeks to allow MSC to revise the

engagement letter to focus solely on phase one, the 80/20 test, and to potentially negotiate a

lower cost. Kyle Taylor, Attorney for the Town, supported rescheduling given the concerns over

scope and pricing. Paul Adams confirmed that pushing the timeline by two weeks would not

significantly impact the project.

Resolution No. 84: MOTION by Supervisor Scialdone, seconded by Councilman Wagner, to

reschedule the February 19, 2026 Town Board Meeting, to authorize the Town Supervisor to

sign an engagement letter with MS Consultants, LLC to provide Federal Tax Credit Compliance

services related to the Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Renewable Natural Gas component

for an amount not to exceed One Hundred Twenty One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars

($121,500.00).

A discussion between Attorney Kyle Taylor, Marianne Lamb from the Sewer Department, and

the Town Board members centered on the Woodard Road Sewer District Expansion, an ongoing

project dating back to 2021. Kyle explained that strict state rules govern sewer district

expansions, and the Town has been coordinating with the New York State Comptroller’s Office

since 2021. Early in 2025, the Town gained approval for the extension, but the bids for the

project came in significantly higher than expected, exceeding the threshold previously approved

by the Comptroller. As a result, the Town must amend its application to reflect the increased

costs.

Marianne Lamb has been actively conducting outreach with the six affected homeowners,

keeping them informed about the process, and preparing the necessary paperwork with legal

assistance from the Comptroller’s Office to ensure a successful resubmission. The Resolution

02-05-2026

Webster Town Board

being considered is to set a Public Hearing to approve the increased funding request. The

Comptroller provides a per-home pricing schedule, but actual construction bids exceeded these

estimates. The lowest bid received was $259,000, while the highest was $550,000, compared to

the previously approved $194,000.

Residents have been updated, though exact final costs won’t be known until the project is

completed. Based on the lowest bid, annual costs for homeowners could be around $1,600,

financed over 30 years. Even if some homeowners opt out, as long as 51% commit, the project

can proceed, and all six homes will still be financially responsible because they are part of the

district.

Resolution No. 85: MOTION by Councilman Cahill, seconded by Councilwoman Wright, to set

a Public Hearing on March 5, 2026, to consider increasing the dollar amount threshold for the

Consolidated Sanitary Sewer District, specifically the Woodard Road Extension, and to be

published in the February 18, 2026, edition of the Webster Herald.

Robert Burgdorf, representative of the law firm Nixon Peabody, spoke on behalf of Verizon

Wireless, to discuss a referral request for a 125-foot monopole cell site at the intersection of

Lake Road and Monroe Wayne County Line Road on a 100-foot leased parcel from Windmill

Farms. He summarized that the submitted materials include the RF justification for coverage

needs, the technical search area and network design constraints, the site selection analysis of

potential locations, and the required reports and compliance documents such as structure, EM,

FCC licenses, and photo simulations.

He explained the procedural steps, including referral to the County under 239M, public data

notices, Planning Board site plan approval, ZBA height variance request, and special permit

approval by the Town board. He emphasized that approvals are governed by Federal and State

law, and that the site chosen represents the best technical option within reasonable cost and delay

constraints.

Board members asked clarifying questions. They inquired whether this site addresses a coverage

gap near Route 250 north of Klem, and Mr. Burgdorf confirmed it does not; a separate

application for the Webster North replacement site will be submitted. They also asked about the

number of nearby residences, and Bergdorf indicated only 4–5 nearby homes, far fewer than

previous sites.

The Board acknowledged the presentation and materials, and no decisions were made tonight as

it was only a referral.

Resolution No. 86: MOTION by Supervisor Scialdone, seconded by Councilman Hunter, to

refer a proposed 125’ tall Verizon Cell Tower to the Planning Board for the purpose of

conducting Site Plan Review, located at the southwest corner of County Line and Lake Roads,
