The meeting was open to the floor and the following Webster residents spoke.
Ronald Nesbitt stated he was appearing before the Town Board to discuss green energy on the
$28,000,000 Highway Project. He would like all studies on green energy to be placed on-line so
that residents could see that the proposed project is not a good investment for Webster. He is
concerned that the Town Board passed a $28,000,000 Bond without looking at green energy and
the possibility of an increase to the Bond if construction bids come in higher than estimated. He
is also concerned that the union contract for highway and sewer employees has not been passed.
In closing, he reminded the Town Board that grant funding is money from Webster residents that
was paid to New York State as income taxes. It is not free money, and that Webster residents are
now paying twice for Town projects when grants are accepted.
Ken Corpus stated he was appearing before the Town Board to speak about the Highway Garage
Bond. He stated that Town Board has not answered questions that he posed at previous
meetings. He wants to know why the plan does not have any line items in the budget for the new
Storm Water Treatment Facility, improvements to the main building and a fuel island
improvement. He is also questioning why there is $888,000 plus over and above what the Bond
is for when the Bond already has $5,000,000 plus in incidentals and contingencies. In regard to
the various percentage of design completion, he now understands that the structural design of the
building is complete. He remains concerned with the amount of money being spent on Town
Projects, house value assessments, and that it was not disclosed that Webster Village residents
would not be contributing to the Highway Garage Bond.
Supervisor Flaherty asked Paul Adams, Finance Director, to address the comment made by
Mr. Corpus that Webster Village residents would not be contributing to the Highway Facility
Bond.

Finance Director Adams stated that highway buildings are required to be paid out of the General
Town-wide Fund which does include the Village.
Mr. Corpus stated he does not think the Town Board is doing anything wrong and does feel the
garage is in need of repair or replacement. However, he feels the whole process was rushed and
it would have been nice to give residents thirty days to review the project and have been
provided more numerical data.

approve the Town of Webster Policy Summary for Construction of Sewer Improvements to
Bring Service to Improved Properties within the Consolidated Sewer District.

Webster Town Board
Town of Webster Policy Summary for Construction of
Sewer Improvements to Bring Service to Improved
Properties within the Consolidated Sewer District
This policy addresses the process where one or more property owners of improved properties
express a desire for establishing a sewer improvement are to extend sanitary sewer service to their
properties. This policy shall not apply to any new construction but shall apply to all approved
properties not currently serviced by sanitary sewers. An interested property owner should first
contact The Town of Webster Sewer Department at 585-265-0505. The initial meeting establishes
the proposed boundaries of the improvement area. The Town shall make the final determination as
to the boundaries of the proposed sewer improvement area.
The Town must have greater than 50% of the property owners, of the total properties in the
improvement area, agree to go forward for each step in the process.
The Town of Webster Consolidated Sewer District shall be responsible for the cost of the
following items if the project goes forward:
A. All Engineering & Design costs for the sewer improvement area.
B. All inspection costs of project (depending on size of project).
C. Easement preparation and recording.
The Town shall not be responsible for the cost of obtaining the easements.
D. Estimate of a maximum annual charge for capital costs (project costs) associated with the
improvement area over a fixed number of years.
Other Town Contributions:
The current sewer entrance fee for each property within the improvement area will be applied to the
project to reduce the overall project cost.
•
•
•
•
•

The Town will notify, by mail, all property owners of meetings being held concerning the
project.
The Town will hold a series of meetings with property owners, within the proposed sewer
improvement area to provide information regarding the project such as location of the
sanitary sewer line, costs for project construction, etc.
Once Town has determined a preliminary cost for a project, property owners of greater than
50% of the tax parcels within the proposed improvement area must commit, in writing, on a
commitment ballot provided by the Town that they are in favor of actual construction of
project.
If the requisite number of property owners commit to the project, the Town Board will hold
a public hearing and specify the area within the Town-wide Sewer District that will benefit
from the proposed improvements.

•
whether the proposed improvement project is in the public interest and if such determination
is favorable the Town Board shall then consider a formal resolution for the project to
proceed with complete design, bid documents, etc.
If the bid prices for the actual construction and associated costs exceed the amount quoted to
property owners when the commitment letters were signed for the project, the original
commitment letters shall be considered invalid.
The Town shall then prepare revised commitment letters and submit those to the property
owners within the improvement area for their consideration. If property owners of greater
than 50% of the tax parcels within the proposed improvement area sign the revised
commitment letters in favor of construction of the sewer improvement area, then the project
may proceed.
If the requisite number of property owners do not commit to the project, the Town of Webster shall
absorb any engineering, legal fees, etc. incurred to that point.
Design Construction will consist of the following:
1. Installation of sanitary sewer and any sanitary lift station if required for a specific project.
2. Any road restoration, if needed, from construction of a sanitary sewer project.
3. Sanitary sewer laterals for each property along route (laterals will be extended to easement line
of each property). The Town's existing lateral policy shall govern lateral extensions.
4. Replacement in kind of any driveway cuts necessary for sanitary sewer construction.
5. Restoration of lawns where sanitary sewer construction occurred.
6. The Town shall not replace trees, bushes, fences, etc. that are in the highway right-of-way.
Notification to property owners in the improvement area, if project goes to construction, will
be provided by the Town, as follows:
1. Notification of award of project and project cost.
2. When construction will commence.
3. Lateral locations (green flag provided by Town)
4. Letter to inform property owners that connection can be made to the sanitary sewer system.
Costs to Residents for Sewers:
It is the homeowner’s responsibility for connecting to the sanitary sewers, the Town recommends
talking to a licensed plumber in the Town of Webster before the second meeting occurs to get an
idea of the cost of the connection to your home.
Fees:
• $1000.00 entrance connection fee
• $50.00 permit fee
o Both fees are waived if you have owned your home prior to August 1st of 1960.
The construction cost of the sewer installation will be divided equally between all parcels involved
in the sewer district (this is the cost of the project that will be on the commitment ballot that needs
to be completed for the project to move forward). This amount will be charged to each parcel on
the Town/County tax bill, in January of each year with the term determined by the Town of Webster
Finance Director.

The annual sewer rate is derived of two costs. The Capital portion is for improvements to the
Town’s Treatment Plant or piping throughout the Town. The Operation and Maintenance is the
cost to process what leaves your home and enters the Treatment Plant.
