Supervisor Scialdone announced a Public Hearing to consider amending the Town’s Flood
Damage Prevention Ordinance.
Joshua Artuso, Community Development Director, provided a brief overview for the Public
Hearing. A property owner in the Town submitted a request to Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) for an official flood map amendment. After conducting a hydraulic analysis,
they demonstrated that the current FEMA floodplain maps for the area near the movie theater,
bowling alley, and parts of Empire Boulevard—including some properties in Penfield—were
inaccurate. FEMA approved the revised map, and because local municipalities are responsible
for enforcing FEMA floodplain regulations, the Town now needs to update its code to reflect the
new official map revision.
At 7:32 p.m. the Public Hearing was opened.
No comments were received.
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:32 p.m.
***
The meeting was open to the floor for public comment and the following Webster residents
appeared before the Town Board.
Bob Feeney, a Webster resident and retired Comptroller, IT Project Manager and Insurance
Agent professional, came before the Board to express concerns about a proposed solar panel
project. Drawing on experience in finance, project management, and insurance, Mr. Feeney
questioned whether the project’s return on investment would justify costs such as site clearing,
installation, maintenance, and potential environmental remediation. He also raised concerns
about long-term benefits to residents, the loss of natural green space and wildlife habitats, and

the exposure of buried landfill materials. Mr. Feeney asked whether alternative, less invasive
locations had been considered and urged the Board to conduct full due diligence before
proceeding. He emphasized fiscal responsibility, environmental preservation, and honoring
campaign promises to protect green space, concluding with an appeal to consider the natural
environment and those who live in it.
Dave Malecki, a Webster resident, came before the Board to discuss BRIDGEIT 24/7/365.
Mr. Malecki recalled first hearing the phrase in the 1980’s after the bridge across Irondequoit
Creek on Lake Road was suddenly destroyed. Mr. Malecki stated that in 1998 the existing and
seasonally operated Irondequoit Bay Outlet Bridge began “working” each April Fool’s Day, or
thereabout that bridge stops working. He came to ask the Board where they are willing to put a
better bridge there that works 24/7/365. Mr. Malecki wants a bridge there 24/7/365. His
suggestion is to raise the existing bridge up as high as necessary and leave it there. He asked the
Board members to read the 2018 study. He indicated that their silence means they are not
planning on helping.
Jason Bellush, a Webster resident, came before the Board and spoke in strong opposition to the
proposed Montante/Xerox Solar Project, describing it as a harmful and misleading proposal. He
argued that Xerox has a long history of financial decline and failed turnaround plans and
suggested the company is now pursuing the solar project mainly to appear favorable to lenders
and investors. Mr. Bellush claimed Montante targets struggling companies to profit from tax
credits and energy programs, portraying the arrangement as financially motivated rather than
environmentally focused.
Mr. Bellush also expressed concerns about community solar, characterizing it as a subscriptionbased sales tactic that would bring door-to-door solicitors into Webster. He warned that both
companies are acting out of self-interest and predicted the community would regret approving
the project 25 years from now.
Dave Pena, a Webster resident, came before the Board and expressed strong concern that the
proposed solar project would destroy local wildlife and the forested habitat that supports it. He
urged the Town Board to use good judgment and vote against the proposal if it comes forward.
Mr. Pena also asked Board members to prioritize the interests of Webster residents and voters
over any corporation that may profit from the project.
Mike Byrne, a Webster resident, came before the Board to state he lives very close to the
hazardous landfill and expressed relief that this asphalt cap area is no longer part of the proposed
project. He also shared disappointment that it required significant community pressure to
convince the developers to remove it. Mr. Byrne questioned who would truly benefit from the
project, noting that he personally would not qualify for the advertised energy cost reductions.
Mr. Pena raised concerns about the loss of 17 acres of trees and the impact on local wildlife,
which he values in their neighborhood. Mr. Pena concluded by saying they and others plan to
continue attending meetings and urged the Board to vote against the proposal when it returns.
Mark Williams, a Webster resident, came before the Board and thanked the Board for the
announcement that solar panels would no longer be placed on the landfill cap but emphasized
ongoing concerns about inaccurate information previously shared about the cap’s construction.
Mr. Williams explained that official drawings obtained from the New York State DEC show the
2
03-19-2026
Webster Town Board
cap contains asphalt layers, stone subbase, and a permeable geotextile fabric—contrary to earlier
statements suggesting multiple impermeable layers or a sealed membrane. Mr. Williams
provided members of the Board with a physical sample of the geotextile fabric to demonstrate its
permeability and argued that this discrepancy underscores a need for skepticism. He also
referenced inconsistencies they found in project presentations and slides, noting they have
documentation from DEC contacts to support these concerns.
Mr. Williams further questioned the reliability of groundwater monitoring information presented
by Xerox and its consultants. Mr. Williams stated that monthly testing referenced by Xerox
pertains only to water pumped from a trench and does not monitor potential plume movement
toward nearby neighborhoods. Additionally, he pointed out what he believes is misleading
representation of well data, including the omission of a detection at an early-warning “trigger”
well. Mr. Williams said these issues contribute to their distrust of the information provided by
Xerox, Montante, and associated consultants, and they urged the Board not to approve the
project.
Ken Kanis, a Webster resident, came before the Board and noted that many community
members have spoken, written, or reached out over recent months to express opposition to the
proposed solar farm on Xerox property. He stated that the companies involved—Xerox,
Montante, and Haley & Aldrich—have held meetings and workshops to promote the project but
argued that some of the information presented has been misleading, incomplete, or inaccurate,
particularly regarding test wells and toxin containment. Mr. Kanis suggested that this approach
appears intended to reduce public opposition and ease passage of the project.
Mr. Kanis also referenced statements made by some current Board members during last fall’s
election campaign, noting that several expressed oppositions to the project while seeking office.
Mr. Kanis said the upcoming vote will reveal whether those statements reflected genuine
positions or were made for political purposes. He urged elected officials to act with integrity and
to serve the interests of the community rather than following national political trends, concluding
with a request that they vote against the project.
Sean Hanna, a Webster resident and former regional director of the DEC, came before the
Board and expressed appreciation for the announcement that solar panels would no longer be
placed on the asphalt-capped landfill area, though they noted confusion because the developer
had previously insisted this location was essential to the project. Mr. Hanna stated this change
suggests earlier claims were not reliable and emphasized that this proposal differs from routine
planning matters because it involves a site with a history of deliberate hazardous waste disposal.
Mr. Hanna argued that, given this context, it is appropriate for the Town Board to apply strict
scrutiny and impose reasonable limits on future use of the property.
Mr. Hanna framed the upcoming decision as a choice between supporting the interests of a large
corporation and protecting local homeowners who live near the former landfill. He noted that
some Board members expressed opposition to the project during their election campaigns and
stated that the vote would reveal whether those commitments would be honored. Mr. Hanna
urged officials to act in the best interests of Webster residents rather than larger political or
economic pressures and asked the Board to vote against the project.

7
03-19-2026
Webster Town Board
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That, pursuant to Section 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York a Public
Hearing shall be scheduled and conducted at a regular meeting of the Town Board of the Town
of Webster to be held at the Town Board Meeting Hall, 1002 Ridge Road, in the Town of
Webster on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., to consider the following Local Law No. 2 of
2026:
Local Law No. 2 of the year 2026
A Local Law implementing a moratorium on certain permits and approvals for certain
development projects.
Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Webster as follows:
Section
1. Title
This local law shall be known as “Local Law No. 2 of the year 2026. A moratorium on certain
permits and approvals for certain development projects”.
Section
2. Legislative Intent
The Town of Webster has experienced growing development pressure in certain development
districts and through certain development activities. The Town Board recognizes that temporary,
reasonable measures must be implemented to halt these development activities within the Town
to maintain the status quo and protect the public interest while the Town Board completes its
review and potential revisions to the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and related zoning and
planning laws.
The Town’s Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2008. Since that time, the Town has
experienced tremendous growth and significant changes. The Town Board finds that the current
comprehensive plan and zoning and planning laws are inadequate to protect and preserve the
Town of Webster’s unique character and attributes while accommodating appropriate growth.
The Town Board desires to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the desired
growth and development of the Town. To assist in this matter, the Town Board has retained the
services of a third-party consultant to review the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and to provide
recommendations and amendments and to assist in drafting the updated Comprehensive Plan. It
is expected that the draft Comprehensive Plan will be completed within the next six to seven
months. Therefore, the Town Board has determined that this Moratorium should be adopted for
a certain amount of time, as set forth herein, to accommodate the time needed to complete the
update to the Comprehensive Plan and related changes to the Town’s zoning and planning laws,
including all necessary public hearings, referrals to interested agencies, and filing of laws with
the New York State Secretary of State.
Section
3. Authority
The Town Board enacts this Moratorium pursuant to its authority to adopt local laws under
Article IX of the New York State Constitution, Municipal Home Rule Law Section 10, and the
general powers vested with the Town of Webster to promote the health, safety, and welfare of all
the residents and property owners in the Town of Webster.

and convincing evidence, including dollars and cents proof, that the applicant is unable to

proceed to all other Town boards and/or employees to apply for all required approvals. Any

independent portion. Such declaration shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
hereof, which other portions continue in full force and effect.

This Local Law constitutes a Type II Action under SEQR because it constitutes the adoption of a
moratorium on land development or construction. As such, this action is not subject to review
under SEQR.
Section
13. Effective Date.
This Local Law shall take effect immediately when it is filed with the New York State Secretary
of State in accordance with Section 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law.

Resolution No. 127: MOTION by Supervisor Scialdone, seconded by Councilman Hunter, to
approve and add to the Town of Webster Employee Handbook, under Operational Policies
Section Number 524 “Artificial Intelligence” as submitted by the Director of Human Resources.
Summary of Artificial Intelligence Policy:
Employees are allowed to use Microsoft Copilot as it stores all the data within the Town’s
Microsoft 365 tenant boundary, provided they are logged into their Town account. For any other
AI tools, an employee must request permission from their department head stating the intended
use and expected benefit. If approved by the department head, the department head will
forward the request to the Information Technologies department. If approved by both parties,
the employee is eligible to use the requested AI tool. If denied by either party, the employee will
receive notification why it was denied. If the denial can be resolved, the employee can submit a
corrected request.
Employees may not enter sensitive information such as passwords, names, dates of birth, social
security numbers, addresses, banking information, or any other data that could pose a risk to
the Town if disclosed. Employees are responsible for reviewing and validating all AI-generated
