Supervisor Scialdone and Deputy Supervisor Hunter read and signed the following proclamation:
Proclamation in Recognition of Women’s History Month
WHEREAS, Women’s history in the United States is comprised of an extensive collection of
stories, leaders, and traditions that are critical to our national identity. It remains important to
acknowledge the individuals and accomplishments that helped to found, build, develop, and
improve our nation; and
WHEREAS, the designation of a time period to celebrate women’s history began in 1911 with
an international conference among a collection of European nations, intending to highlight the
historical female experience on a global scale. When the United Nations began sponsoring the
holiday in 1975, the United States began to celebrate this occasion widely; and
WHEREAS, in 2026, Women’s History Month is an annual effort, continuing this tradition of
spotlighting women’s empowerment, highlighting achievements, and recognizing contributions
to society. This month is a significant promise to remember the struggles endured to codify a
woman’s right to vote, drive, own land, and control their own destiny with the same opportunity
experienced by men; and
WHEREAS, each March, we recognize Women’s History Month and appreciate the vast
achievements in science, the arts, entertainment, politics, and every facet of society made by
women; and
WHEREAS, the tradition and legacy of progress sustained in this region lives on today. From
inspiring female figures working to ensure that the promises of the Constitution apply to all
citizens, the Women’s Suffrage movement, and beyond, we revere the contributions of women in
our nation; and

Webster Town Board
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED on this fifth day of March in the year 2026, on
behalf of the Webster Town Supervisor’s Office, we recognize the indelible achievements of
women and commemorate March as Women’s History Month in Webster.
Alexander B. Scialdone, Town Supervisor and Nicholas E. Hunter, Deputy Town Supervisor
Missy Rosenberry, the first Vice President of the Women’s Club of Webster accepted the
Proclamation presented. She thanked the Town Supervisor and Town Board for recognizing the
contributions of women in the community, county, and world. She noted that while history often
focuses on major events, much of Webster’s history has been shaped by the everyday leadership
and service of women in schools, volunteer efforts, and community organizations. Ms.
Roseberry highlighted the Women’s Club of Webster’s more than 60 years of volunteer service
supporting charitable, cultural, and educational causes, and accepted the proclamation in honor
of both current members and past generations of women whose work helped shape the character
of the Town.

Supervisor Scialdone announced a Public Hearing to consider increasing the dollar threshold for
the Consolidated Sanitary Sewer District, specifically the Woodard Road Extension. The intent
is to increase the maximum amount that New York State approved from $194,113.00 to
$380,200.00.
At 8:04 p.m. the Public Hearing was opened.
Paul Adams, Director of Finance, explained that the Sewer District Project has been ongoing for
about four years due to State regulations that limit the annual cost per user in a Special District.
Originally, the threshold was about $700 per user, requiring special State legislative approval if
exceeded; it has since increased to about $1,100. Because State approval has taken so long,
project costs have risen, and recent bid prices exceeded the Town’s budget.
As a result, the Town is seeking State approval again with a higher estimated project cost of
$380,200. The estimate is intentionally set high to provide a cushion in case bids come in higher
again. The district only includes six residents, which contributes to the high cost per user.
Rick Kenealy, Chief Operator of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, confirmed that the affected
residents have been kept informed, with most having communicated with the Town.
Supervisor Scialdone discussed whether to vote on the matter tonight or delay and place it on a
future agenda. Kyle Taylor, Attorney for the Town, stated that delaying would only add two
weeks to the timeline, since a 30-day permissive referendum period must occur after the vote
before the application can be submitted to New York State. Supervisor Scialdone indicated he
would consider adding a Resolution to the end of tonight’s meeting agenda to proceed with the
vote.
No comments were received.
The Public Hearing was closed at 8:08 p.m.

Webster Town Board
The meeting was open to the floor for public comment and the following Webster residents
appeared before the Town Board.
Mark Williams, a Webster resident, came before the Board to express concern about cracks in
the Xerox landfill cap and the slow response of the New York State DEC. Based on the Haley &
Aldrich annual reports, it may take the DEC about a year and a half to review the cracks due to
delays and staff shortages. Mr. Williams also noted that DEC staff were unaware of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) present in the landfill, highlighting a lack of oversight.
Additionally, there is concern about rainwater infiltrating the cap. The 2024 report showed a
two-thirds reduction in wastewater recovery starting in 2022—from roughly 1.5 million gallons
per year to about 500,000 gallons, which raises the risk that groundwater could reach nearby
residential areas like Grand Meadows. The report indicates that Xerox is merely monitoring
pumping operations without further action, which Mr. Williams views as a serious risk with
potential impacts on the surrounding subdivision.
David Blaho, a Webster resident, came before the Board and expressed support for solar energy
in principle. However, Mr. Blaho opposes the proposed solar farm at 139 Caracus Drive, citing
environmental concerns, including disruption of a Brownfield site and the destruction of
approximately 17 acres of mature trees that serve as wildlife habitat. The site, about 20 acres in
total—equivalent to 15 football fields, could also pose noise issues and potential chemical
contamination from solar panel materials like lead or cadmium. Mr. Blaho emphasized that
these concerns have been raised multiple times, highlighting the risks to the local environment
and community.
Additionally, Mr. Blaho stressed the long-term impact on residents’ quality of life, noting that
many community members, including themselves, are retired and value a peaceful home
environment. He highlighted the financial capability of the corporations behind the project,
arguing that a “yes” vote would impose decades of worry for residents while only minimally
affecting the companies. Citing past settlements and environmental incidents at other solar
farms, he urged the Board to vote against the installation, emphasizing protection of property
values, environmental safety, and community well-being.
Jen Blaho, a Webster resident, came before the Board and highlighted the contrast between
Webster and neighboring areas like Greece and Henrietta. Mrs. Blaho acknowledged past
development and conveniences that have benefited the community but argued that the Town has
reached a point of saturation. The proposed solar project at 139 Caracus Drive, described as a
“monstrosity”, conflicts with the character of Webster, threatens nearly 17 acres of mature trees
and wildlife habitat, and sits atop a potentially hazardous toxic waste site. Mrs. Blaho
emphasized that opposition is focused specifically on this location, not on solar energy in
general, suggesting that alternative, already-disturbed sites could accommodate the project
without such environmental and safety risks.

Webster Town Board
Mrs. Blaho urged the Town Board to prioritize residents’ safety and quality of life over corporate
interests, political pressures, or outside funding. She emphasized ethical responsibility,
reminding Board members of their commitments to the community and prior positions expressed
in Planning Board meetings. Mrs. Blaho concluded by reinforcing that the Board should vote
based on the long-term integrity of the Town and the well-being of its residents, rather than
convenience or external pressures, and called for a “no” vote on the project at this specific site.
Jerri Breschard, a Webster resident, came before the Board and voiced strong opposition to the
Montante Solar Project, emphasizing that the proposed 20-acre site on Xerox land is green space
atop a fragile, capped toxic landfill. She noted that the land, though unsuitable for human use,
serves as habitat for deer, fox, coyotes, and other wildlife, and that the mature trees and
vegetation act as a natural carbon sink. Cutting down nearly 17 acres of trees to install solar
panels on this site, she argued, would be environmentally counterproductive, even though she
supports renewable energy in principle.
Ms. Breschard also criticized the Town of Webster for lacking a comprehensive climate and
land-use policy to guide large-scale solar development. She pointed out the absence of mapped
preferred solar areas, greenhouse gas inventories, emissions targets, and participation in State
programs like Climate Smart Communities or Clean Energy Communities. Without such
planning, approving the project could set a dangerous precedent and contradict strategic
community objectives. She urged the Board to pause, develop a formal climate and siting
framework, and vote “no”, emphasizing that responsible planning should come before
construction.
Elaine Johnson, a Webster resident, came before the Board to oppose the Montante Solar
Project, emphasizing safety concerns tied to the unique conditions of the Xerox Brownfield. She
noted that the site must remain undisturbed due to what is buried underground, making it an
unsuitable location for a long-term solar installation. Ms. Johnson stressed that environmental
protection and solar development are not mutually exclusive, but there is insufficient evidence to
ensure the landfill’s integrity over the projected 30-year project lifespan.
Ms. Johnson also reminded the Board that during the recent election campaign, members had
expressed opposition to this project and promised that it did not fit the Town’s vision. Ms.
Johnson urged the Board to honor those campaign commitments by voting “no” on the Special
Use Permit, reinforcing the importance of consistency and accountability to the residents who
supported them.
Brian Ocello, a Webster resident, came before the Board to express opposition to the Montante
Solar Project, emphasizing concerns about noise, site safety, and long-term impacts. He noted
that low-frequency sounds from transformers and inverters can create persistent, annoying
magnetic hums, even if overall noise levels remain within regulatory limits. Mr. Ocello also
raised questions about the project’s foundations over a capped landfill, noting potential risks if
additional weight is added or if the ground shifts, and stressed that the location has unique
challenges that have not been fully addressed.

03-05-2026
Webster Town Board
Mr. Ocello urged the Board members to consider whether they would want such a project in their
own backyard, emphasizing that this is a matter of placement rather than opposition to solar
energy. Mr. Ocello highlighted uncertainties about corporate responsibility, potential
bankruptcy, and insurance coverage, noting that the site has never been used for solar panels on
asphalt or capped land before. He argued there are safer alternative locations for the project and
cautioned against treating Webster residents as test subjects for an unproven installation.
Chris Nacca, a Webster resident, came before the Board to express support for the community’s
opposition to the Montante Solar Project, emphasizing that the overwhelming “no” from
residents should guide the Board’s decision. He noted that the concerns are not solely about
scientific data or technical arguments, but about the emotional impact on homeowners who
would have the project in their backyards. Mr. Nacca stressed that the Board should value and
respect the active participation of community members who take time to attend meetings and
engage in the decision-making process.
Mr. Nacca highlighted the importance of community cohesion, connection, and collective action
in addressing local issues, noting that residents’ voices should not be disregarded or treated as
predetermined outcomes. He urged that decisions be made in a way that protects residents’ wellbeing and preserves the integrity of the Town, rather than prioritizing corporate interests or
additional tax revenue, emphasizing that a community-focused resolution is the healthiest
approach.
Sean Hanna, a Webster resident and former regional director of the DEC, came before the
Board to express opposition to the Montante Solar Project, emphasizing that decisions were
made at the State Capital level rather than by local DEC technicians. He highlighted concerns
about habitat destruction, noting that clearing 17 acres of natural habitat provides little
environmental benefit. Mr. Hanna also provided context on the project’s origins, explaining that
a 2019 Albany mandate required 70% of New York State’s electricity to come from renewable
energy by 2030, funded largely by taxpayer dollars, which incentivized companies like Montante
and Xerox to pursue such projects.
Mr. Hanna warned that the state now recognizes the financial burdens of this policy, projecting
significant increases in electricity and gasoline costs, and noted that legislative changes are
imminent. Mr. Hanna argued that the Town Board’s responsibility is to the residents of Webster,
not to the companies seeking profit, and emphasized that the project provides no tangible benefit
to the community. He urged the Board to exercise their conscience, vote “no”, and prioritize the
interests of local residents over corporate requests.
Monica Gorlick, a Webster resident, came before the Board in support of the solar project but
expressed concern about protecting existing wildlife habitat. She asked whether it might be
possible to reduce the size of the solar farm to minimize disruption to animals while still
implementing the project. She acknowledged that she is primarily concerned about the animals
and emphasized that her support for the solar farm comes with the condition of careful
consideration of environmental impacts.

Webster Town Board
Ms. Gorlick also addressed common community concerns regarding noise, health, and safety.
She noted that solar farms are generally quiet, with low daytime hums from inverters that are
mitigated by distance, trees, or acoustic measures. She highlighted studies showing that solar
farms produce no air pollution, emit only low-level nonionizing electromagnetic fields
comparable to household appliances, and pose negligible health risks. She emphasized that solar
farms improve public health by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and harmful air pollutants, while
potential visual or minor noise impacts can be managed through proper planning.

A general discussion took place leading up to the following Resolution. Councilman Cahill
asked whether other engineering firms beside Barton & Loguidice were solicited to prepare these
bid packages. Rick Kenealy, Chief Operator of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, answered the
question by stating that it would be better to stay with Barton & Loguidice, the engineer of
record, who already knows the project, knows what is going on in the paving and allowing them
to manage this paving project.
Councilman Wagner asked the Attorney for the Town if the contract was reviewed in terms of
the liability section, dispute resolution, liability cap, etc. Kyle Taylor, Attorney for the Town,
responded that the contract was not sent to him for review. Rick Kenealy responded and said
that waiting a couple more weeks for the contract review would not alter the course of work.
Another question brought up from Councilman Wagner was sections of the contract indicate no
meetings are included in the scope of service, he requested that Rick Kenealy clarify with Barton
& Loguidice if meetings are or are not included with the service.
Resolution No. 108: MOTION by Supervisor Scialdone, seconded by Councilman Cahill, to
reschedule the March 19, 2026 Town Board Meeting to authorize the Town Supervisor to sign
an agreement with Barton & Loguidice to prepare the bid packet to solicit bids for the paving
needed in connection with the Wastewater Treatment Phase II Project at a cost of $49,500.
