Resolution No. 256: MOTION by Supervisor Flaherty, seconded by Councilwoman Cataldi, to
authorize a Public Hearing on September 5, 2024, under Town Law Section 202-b with respect
to certain improvements to the Town of Webster Consolidated Sewer District consisting of the

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 and to be published in

WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 259 of 2021 adopted on September 16, 2021, the Town Board of
the Town of Webster, Monroe County, New York (the “Town”), adopted an order determining
that it was in the Town’s public interest to authorize certain improvements to the Town of
Webster Consolidated Sewer District (the “District”) that encompasses the Town, exclusive of
the Village of Webster, such improvements consisting of the Water Pollution Control Facility
Asset Renewal Project and Water Resource Recovery Facility Improvements, as set forth and
described in a certain engineering report as prepared by Barton & Loguidice (the “Engineer”),
dated July 2021, and on file in the office of the Town Clerk (the “Project”), at an estimated
maximum cost of $30,998,000, all in accordance with Section 202-b of the Town Law; and
WHEREAS, prior thereto, by Resolution No. 249 of 2021 adopted on September 2, 2021, the
Town Board determined pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act and the
regulations of the Department of Environmental Conservation promulgated thereunder (6
NYCRR Part 617.5(c)) (collectively, “SEQRA”), that the Project constitutes a “Type I” action
under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (6 NYCRR Part 617.5(c)) (collectively, “SEQRA”) and based on its coordinated
review determined that the Project will result in no significant impacts and, therefore, (a) the
action is not one which “may include the potential for at least one significant adverse
environmental impact”, (b) “there will be no significant adverse environmental impacts”, (c) no
“environmental impact statement” need be prepared, as such quoted terms are defined in
SEQRA, and (d) such determination constitutes a negative declaration for purposes of SEQRA;
and
WHEREAS, by Resolution dated September 16, 2021, the Town Board adopted a bond
Resolution authorizing the issuance of up to $30,998,000 in serial bonds of the Town to finance
the Project (the “Original Bond Resolution”); and
WHEREAS, in 2022, the Engineer informed the Town that due to a significant rise in the costs
of materials and labor, the estimated maximum cost of the Project shall need to be increased by
$13,342,000 to a total of $44,340,000, all as is more particularly described in a certain report
prepared by Engineer entitled “Basis of Design Report – Walter W. Bradley Water Pollution
Phase 2”, dated July 2022, said report being on file and
available for review at the Town Clerk’s Office; and

WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 263 of 2022 adopted on September 8, 2022, immediately
following a Public Hearing, the Town Board adopted an order determining that it was in the
Town’s public interest to undertake the Project at the increased maximum cost of $44,340,000;
and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 264 of 2022, an Amendatory Bond Resolution adopted on
September 8, 2022 (the “2022 Amending Bond Resolution”), the Town Board amended and

cost of the Project from $30,998,000 to $44,340,000; (ii) appropriate said increased amount; (iii)
increase the amount of bonds authorized thereunder to finance the cost of the Project from
$30,998,000 to $44,340,000; and (iv) restate the plan of finance set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, in 2023, due to certain revisions to the Project, along with a significant rise in the
costs of materials and labor, the Engineer informed the Town that the estimated maximum cost
of the Project shall need to be increased by $37,160,000 to a total of $81,500,000, all as is more
particularly described in a certain report prepared by Engineer entitled “Preliminary Engineering
Report Addendum #2 – Webster Water Resource Recovery Facility Improvements Project”,
dated June 2023, said report being on file and available for review at the Town Clerk’s Office;
and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 253 of 2023, adopted on September 5, 2023, the Town Board
adopted a SEQRA Resolution in connection with such revisions to the Project and determined
that the Project, as revised, constitutes a “Type I” action under SEQRA, and based on its
coordinated review determined that the Project, as revised, will result in no significant impacts
and, therefore, (a) the action is not one which “may include the potential for at least one
significant adverse environmental impact”, (b) “there will be no significant adverse
environmental impacts”, (c) no “environmental impact statement” need be prepared, as such
quoted terms are defined in SEQRA, and (d) such determination constitutes a negative
declaration for purposes of SEQRA; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 263 of 2023 adopted on July 27, 2023, immediately following a

WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 264 of 2023, an Amendatory Bond Resolution adopted on July
27, 2023 (the “2023 Amending Bond Resolution”), the Town Board amended and restated the
Original Bond Resolution in its entirety so as to (i) increase the maximum estimated cost of the
Project from $44,340,000 to $81,500,000; (ii) appropriate said increased amount; (iii) increase
the amount of bonds authorized thereunder to finance the cost of the Project from $44,340,000 to

and the receipt of additional grants for the Project, the estimated maximum cost of the Project
has increased from $81,500,000 to $87,300,000, all as further described in an amended
engineering report prepared by the Engineer and on file with the Town Clerk; and
