The meeting was open to the floor for public comment.

Liz Gutherie, a Webster resident, came before the Board regarding her concerns about litter on

the roadways in Webster. She shares her personal efforts to clean up various locations, such as

Charles E. Sexton Memorial Park and the area in front of the AMC movie theater. Ms. Guthrie

highlights the responsibility of garbage collection companies in contributing to the litter problem

due to improper disposal practices. She also points out neglected "dead zones" around the Town

that attract trash, urging the Town of Webster to take action, potentially through a community

initiative similar to "adopt a highway", to encourage local businesses to take greater care of their

properties and promote a cleaner environment.
