Prior to the Public Hearing, Councilwoman Cataldi addressed the audience and viewers. There
may be residents who are questioning the expenditure of additional funds on our Sewer
Department Project. The Project was intended to be a $31 million asset renewal project only
where the intention was to fix the things that weren’t working anymore or that were rotting.
Oftentimes, we have surplus items or sending items to recycle since there is a lot of equipment
that needs to be updated. As we explored options of upgrading and installing new systems, we
recognized the benefit of creating a service that would result in revenue to the Town by
providing the opportunity to accept outside waste. At that time, we passed a Resolution to
expand the scope and cost, resulting in a $44 million capital project with new technology. As
circumstances evolved, it became known that Coca-Cola fairlife was considering Webster for the
establishment of its new facility with specialty dairy waste due in part because we could provide
the technology to treat their high strength organic waste. It was clear that changes to the project
were necessary to be able to process the plant’s output. In 2023, there was a Resolution
approved to increase the project amount to $81.5 million in order to apply for a grant. At that
time, the Town was unsure of the specifics of fairlife’s flow. Now, just over a year later, we do
have these specifics related to fairlife’s output and we know that the total project cost to
transform our plant into a Water Resource Recovery Facility is $87.3 million. While the impact
of fairlife increases the cost of this project, it has a much larger and long-standing impact on
what the Town of Webster will receive through flow revenue and tie-in fees directly from CocaCola fairlife. The Town has diligently worked to ensure this project is not balanced on the backs
of Webster taxpayers and have said many times, no one carried that farther and harder and put
more energy into receiving a $20 million grant from the State than our Town Supervisor. He
was determined that we would receive assistance from the State. The Town of Webster is now in
a position to partner with Coca-Cola fairlife and other revenue sources to benefit residents and
the taxpayers for years to come.

Supervisor Flaherty announced a Public Hearing to consider improvements to the Town of
Webster Consolidated Sewer District consisting of the Water Pollution Control Facility Asset
Renewal Project and Water Resource Recovery Facility improvements to increase the maximum
cost of the project as mentioned within Resolution No. 263 of 2023 adopted on July 27,2023,
from $81,500,000 to $87,300,000.
At 7:36 p.m. the Public Hearing was opened.
Michelle Anderson, Webster Village resident: The only thing I have to say about the sewer
would be from the Village perspective. I had raised the question a month or two ago to one of
the Village officials and said should it ever become necessary for the Village to tie into the Town
sewer system, is there a plan in place for that, and has there been money set aside for that, and
the answer was no. I received no reply from the Village official, so I disagree with the fact that
the Village chose not to tie into the sewer with the Town. It’s very unfortunate and I worry that
should it ever become necessary, the Village residents are going to pay a high penalty for that.
Thank you.
At 7:38 p.m. the Public Hearing was closed.
***
The meeting was open to the floor for public comment and the following Webster residents
appeared before the Town Board.
Dave Malecki, West Webster resident, read the following prepared statement:
Simply put, the Irondequoit Bay Outlet should be bridged 24/7/365. Local officials, in Webster,
Irondequoit, and the rest of Monroe County need to work together to achieve that. A 50 yard
long pedestrian bridge, similar in design to the one now being constructed in Brockport should
do it. If you need money to support that concept, please add it to the 2025 budget.
Michelle Anderson, a Webster Village resident: This is information that was sent to me by a
friend who lives in Parma and was at a demonstration of the new voting machines at the Parma
Town Hall yesterday and it reads, Monroe County has purchased 1,000 of the ESNS Express
Vote XL touchscreen voting machine for around $12 million. These machines are significantly
more expensive, can cause delays during elections and more importantly provide an additional
gateway for potential error and fraud. During a demonstration of these new machines, at the
Parma Town Hall yesterday, it was revealed that the new machines have indeed been purchased
and are sitting in a warehouse somewhere in Monroe County. These new machines will begin to
make their way to Monroe County precincts in March 2025. Experts in government groups say
these machines will change New York’s entire way of voting, undermine confidence and vastly
increase costs because the Express Vote XL is one of the most expensive on the market. They
warn of longer lines to vote because they say that when everyone votes on a computerized ballot
marker, everyone waits longer. Many people in the community and around New York State
oppose this new machine, but sadly, only those who diligently look for what is being purchased
are even aware that this is coming. It is the opinion of some, who have been pushing back
against the purchase of these machines that this purchase is taking us in the exact wrong
direction for administering elections in Monroe County and New York State. These machines
are thought likely paid for and on a site in Monroe County with a laid-out plan to be deployed
beginning in 2025. Education plans and public activities teaching why these voting machines are

wrong for Monroe County and sought to block the purchase ended last evening. With the
learning of this information, I know little about it. I received notice that this was going to be
taking place, and I couldn’t make the presentation, but I will say, I agree with it. I’m one of the
people that think we should go back to the paper ballots and the old machines with the crank and
the curtains closed. Anything electronic can be tampered with and I think we all know that, and I
think we also understand that the people in Washington are not running this country and the
people who are running this country are people we don’t even know their names and it’s very
dangerous and it’s going to get worse. The other thing that I would like to mention is that the
money that has been spent to supply illegal aliens to retrofit hotels and motels in Monroe County
and I’m speaking specifically about Hill Haven. I want to know why that money was spent and
it was taxpayer money and why it hasn’t been spent to retrofit those facilities for our homeless
veterans who have served this county honorably and they deserve everything that we can help
them with and that’s very sad that they don’t have that, and I am very upset by that. The other
thing I would like to mention if anybody is interested there is a gentleman and I think he’s on
YouTube or Rumble, but he was the youngest individual to ever join the Green Beret and he now
is basically a war correspondent and he travels around the world. He’s paying attention to
what’s happening in countries that are now being taken over by the World Economic Forum,
George Soros and what has begun happening in the United States. Particularly in Denver and
Chicago, is indicative of what has happened overseas, so anybody that is interested in what he
has to say he’s very reputable. His name is Michael Yan and I suggest that you try and catch a
couple of his videos. It’s very informative and very sobering. The other thing I wanted to
mention is that there is a website for the smart election machines and that is
https://smartelections.us the website has a lot of information on it and I would suggest that
everybody start to pray for this country.
Doug Pucci, a Webster Village resident: For the past four years, we’ve hosted a St. Jude
Children’s Hospital benefit at the Gazebo in September, because September is Child Cancer
Awareness Month. Last year, it was going along pretty good, but it got really dicey, it was
raining all day. It put a lot of stress on the food trucks, the bands, and set up and tear down. We
said that we have to be very conscious of the weather because we can’t have that happen again.
So all indications are that Saturday is not going to be a very good day. We aired on the side of
caution and decided to cancel the benefit Saturday. We’re sad about this, but we appreciate the
undying support of the Town of Webster, the Village of Webster, and Webster BID. Onward
and upward and we’ll try again next year.
