Proclamation Honoring Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

presented to:

C.U.R.E Childhood Cancer Association

WHEREAS, the C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association is an organization that is dedicated to

helping children in our community who are diagnosed with cancer; and

WHEREAS, this incredible organization is nationally recognized for their support of families

with children diagnosed with cancer and blood disorders, and whose mission is to increase

awareness of the prevalence of childhood cancer; and

WHEREAS, it is important to understand that there are families in our Webster community who

are fighting childhood cancer every day and that C.U.R.E. will continue their commitment to our

community, and help all children who are fighting for the chance to grow up and have successful

futures:

Webster Town Board

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that by the power invested in me as the Supervisor,

and on behalf of the Town Board, we hereby honor September as Childhood Cancer Awareness

Month, and join together with this organization as we continue to raise awareness and support all

families in the fight against childhood cancer.

In the Town of Webster, under my hand

and the privy seal of the Town of Webster,

this 7th day of September 2023.

Thomas J. Flaherty, Town Supervisor

Ms. Dutcher stated that C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association is appreciative of the

recognition. She pointed out that the awareness ribbon is gold and anything that can be done to

raise awareness is important because right now only nine percent of government funded research

for cancers is allocated to children. In the past twenty years only thirty-six drugs have been

made available for children with cancer and of those thirty-six, she believes twenty-nine are

tested on adults and are altered for children. Only six drugs are currently available and

specifically designed for children so raising awareness is very important as it makes a difference

to their families. They have over fifty children a year in the Rochester area diagnosed with

cancer and they lose about fifteen.

***

The meeting was open to the floor for public comment and the following people spoke:

Andrew Dunning is not in favor of the Coca Cola fairlife® Project. He stated the company lost a

lawsuit a year and half ago and had to pay out $21 million due to animal abuse at their dairy

farms. He suggested the Town Board consider a Green Project instead.

Lauren Craig, a representative of Coca Cola, thanked Mr. Dunning for his comments. She

acknowledged there was a farm that was a supplier and as soon as they saw the abuse underway,

they immediately stopped working with them. The matter forced them to undergo some really

intense animal welfare work, which is now one of the most aggressive in the country.

GUIDELINE 3 – BID REQUIREMENTS:

$20,000 during the fiscal year shall be formally bid pursuant to GML

103. B.) Purchases of public works contracts which will equal or exceed $35,000, shall be

proposal or quote if that vendor uses recycled material and does not exceed the lowest

proposal or quote by more than 5%. If a bidder is not deemed responsible, facts supporting

that judgment shall also be documented and filed with the record supporting the procurement.

Per the Town Code, Town Officials have the option to conduct the purchase contract bidding

process using Best Value Procurement (BVP). This is a procurement system that looks at

factors other than only price, such as quality and expertise, when selecting vendors or

contractors. The BVP system will select a winning bid based on a score sheet which will

quantify and compare costs and benefits. Please note that Best Value Procurement is not

allowed for bidding a public works contract.

GUIDELINE 6 – OBTAINING THE REQUIRED BIDS AND QUOTES: A good faith

effort shall be made to obtain the required number of proposals or quotations. If the

Purchaser is unable to obtain the required number of proposals or quotations, the Purchaser

shall document the attempt made at obtaining the proposals. In no event shall the inability to

obtain the proposals or quotes be a bar to the procurement. Such documentation shall be

attached to the purchase order.

Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) Part 2 and Part 3 of the Full Environmental

Assessment Form and to make a Determination of Significance for the fairlife® Project.

Jerry Goldman, Attorney from Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP, appeared before the Town Board. He

briefly explained the process that took place when determining the potential environmental

impacts of the Project. He pointed out that on the twenty-page Part 3 narrative presented to the

Town Board at the end of the first paragraph on page 10 the words “along County Line Road”

should be added for clarity purposes.

WHEREAS, a proposed development of real property located at the eastern terminus of Tebor

Road for a dairy processing facility, consisting of a total of 110.40 acres, has been proposed by

fairlife® LLC (“the fairlife® Project”); and

WHEREAS, the Town of Webster Town Board ("Town Board") after due notice and consent of

all Involved Agencies, either by express consent or implied consent by failure to object within

the mandated notice period, established itself as lead agency for the conduct of the coordinated

environmental review of this Type I action on August 17, 2023; and

WHEREAS, the Town Board has reviewed and carefully considered the potential environmental

impacts of the project as proposed and mitigated by fairlife® ("project sponsor"), as set forth in

the Part 1 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF) as supplemented by the

additional materials, studies and responses to comments provided by the project sponsor,

comments from Involved Agencies and Interested Parties, as well as comments from Town staff

Supervisor Flaherty withdrew a proposed Resolution to set a Public Hearing for consideration of

issuing an Industrial Use Permit for the fairlife® Project as it was discovered the Public Hearing

on the Project will take place with the Planning Board and not the Town Board.

Community Development Director, Josh Artuso, stated that the Planning Board will then submit

its report and recommendation to the Town Board. The Town Board essentially votes to grant

the Industrial Use Permit.

the meetings with fairlife®. They were asked to submit a proposal to review fairlife’s

pretreatment drawings and specifications to create consistency with communication and what

they are producing and what the WWTP is receiving. The preliminary estimated cost is

$25,000.00 and is a time and expense contract.

approve and authorize the Town Supervisor to sign the Proposal submitted by Barton &

Loguidice, 10 Airline Drive, Suite 200, Albany, New York for Engineering Review Services

Matt Chatfield, Webster Economic Development Alliance (WEDA) Executive Director,

appeared before the Town Board. He stated that New York State has created a Focused

Attraction of Shovel Ready Tracts New York (FAST NY) Program. The Program will allow

either a municipality or its designated economic development agency to apply for funds for

predevelopment or capital improvements to industrial sites to make them shovel ready for

development. It is the intention of WEDA to apply for predevelopment funding for a site that is

currently owned by Xerox Corporation and submit it for roughly $200,000.00 in engineering

fees. Some of which would be associated with predevelopment activities on the site and other

fees which would be associated with engineering of an extension of Bolter Industrial Parkway

that would go through that site. In order to submit the application, WEDA needs to be

designated the Economic Development Agency of the Town of Webster.

Resolution No. 312: MOTION by Supervisor Flaherty, seconded by Councilman Abbott, to

authorize the Town of Webster Town Board to designate the Webster Economic Development

Alliance (WEDA) as its Municipally Designated Non-Profit Economic Development
