The Town of Penfield has a brick pattern stenciled on their crosswalks which make the crosswalks much more visible to both motorists and pedestrians.

Nick Rizzo will look into obtaining quotes for having stenciling done for our crosswalks.
The Village of Clyde is using signs placed in the middle of the road to bring attention to their crosswalks. Trustee White is concerned that the Village of Wolcott streets are not wide enough to accommodate similar signs.

Mayor

Mr. Alexander purchased the property in 2003 from Wayne County at a tax sale. The County neglected to see if any water bill was owed, therefore, Mr. Alexander has a bill owed in the amount of $772.88. Mr. Alexander paid his bill for the usage while he owned the property. The property is now owned by another individual. Mr. Alexander would like the village to excuse this amount. Mayor Monson recommended excusing the bill in the amount of $772.88 due to the fact that the Village needs to take responsibility for not shutting the water off in the first place.

Mayor Monson requested a moment of silence in honor of Kevin Adami, our Village of Wolcott undercover police officer, who recently passed away as a result of a car accident on January 9, 2007. Mayor Monson then read a touching tribute also in his honor. At this time Trustee Krasucki asked if a resolution could be passed to allow the Village to post an article in the local newspapers to make the Village residents aware of the fact that there is an educational fund set up for Kevins young son Connor if anyone would be interested in making a donation.
Police Department: Chief Miller spoke very highly of all the great work Kevin Adami had done not only for the Village but also for the Wayne County Drug Task Force. Kevin Adami will be missed greatly by all that knew him. Chief Miller then gave an update on the recent break ins and tire slashing in the Community. The State Police and the Sheriffs Department are currently working together with the Village of Wolcott Police Department to try and solve these crimes based on some leads the Department has received.
Highway Department: Trustee Costello stated that the Highway Department has been busy plowing and sanding quite a bit lately with the current weather. Trustee Costello would like to make sure that the plow permits are being purchased by individuals who are currently plowing residential properties, and that they are being checked on regularly. Trustee Costello asked Chief Miller to check in on a car located on Wright Street that is in the way of the Highway Departments plowing. Chief Miller informed Trustee Costello that this car issue has already been addressed.
Water/Sewer Department: Mayor Monson reported that there are no current violations at the plants. He also stated that the springs have been our main source of water source for well over a year.
Fire Department: Mayor Monson has spoken with Chief Wellington regarding a controlled burn of all the tree limbs, stumps and other brush located at the springs. Chief Wellington stated that when the date is set for this burn that the fire department will continue to supervise this until the burn is completed.
Code Enforcement: Otis Vezzose informed the Board that Reckitt and Benckiser have installed a locked gate at the entrances of the property. Assistant Chief Rick Miller and Zoning Officer Otis Vezzose contacted Reckitt and Benckiser to notify them that due to fire issues the gate cannot be locked unless the Fire Department has a key to gain entry in the case of a fire or other emergencies. Rick Miller then received keys to the gate from Reckitt and Benckiser with the reassurance that the Company will continue to maintain the buildings and surrounding property for as long as the property is owned by Reckitt and Benckiser.
Historical Society: Judi Buckalew updated the Board on the upcoming events that will benefit the Historical Society, such as the upcoming Starlight dinner and casino night as well as the Dinner Theater in March. Judi also is very pleased that the Wolcott Falls Park is tying in very nicely with the bicentennial celebration. Mayor Monson is encouraging anyone who would like to represent Jonathan Melvin in any of the parades or festivities to get in contact with a member of the Bicentennial Celebration Committee. As Judi Buckalew commented on the Wolcott Falls Park Mayor Monson wanted to reiterate that the Park is being maintained by grants not the Village of Wolcott tax dollars.
Bob Stell: Mr. Stell raised the question of signage on the new Chan Park to inform the community of the location. Mayor Monson informed us that the signs for the Wolcott Falls Park as well as the Chan Park (located on Wilson Street) are almost finished and will be erected as soon as completed. Also, the Chan Park is state funded as well.
Mathew Alexander water bill: Mr. Alexander purchased the property located at 8346 Roney Road from the County on 6/17/2004. Property had been owned by Mr. Nixon prior to the County taking it over. Upon completion of the purchase of the property Mr. Alexander was not made aware of the existing water bill owed by Mr. Nixon. The amount owed by Mr. Nixon was in the amount of approximately in the amount of $640.40.Once the property was transferred to Mr. Alexander, he received no water bills in his name because the water/sewer department was not made aware of the sale of the property, therefore all the water/sewer bills were sent out in the name of Nixon and returned with no forwarding information available. Mr. Alexander has now sold the property and the new owners have made contact with our office to inform is of the sale. However the existing water bill is still attached to this property and cannot be relevied to the property taxes because it is outside of the Village. Mr. Alexander has proposed to pay what he believes is the amount he owes from the time of his purchase of this property. At this time Mr. Alexander is asking the board to dissolve the prior balance when Mr. Nixon was owner because of the fact he was not made aware of this balance at the time of his purchase. (See attached proposal letter) Mayor Monson said that it is unfortunate that the County did not make Mr. Alexander aware of the existing water bill; however the Village cannot afford to absorb the water bill owed by Mr. Nixon. The Water clerk will let Mr. Alexander know the decision of the Board regarding this matter.
Mayor Monson: Mayor Monson asked for a motion to allow him to sign any confidentiality request forms for perspective tenants of Reckittt and Benckiser. Trustee Baker made the motion, seconded by Trustee Krasucki. Motion carried.
Trustee Costello: Trustee Costello inquired about the inmates from Butler Shock Facility building a small storage building for the Highway barn. Mayor Monson has to make contact with Sergeant Coleman regarding this.
Minutes of 1/09/07: Motion to accept minutes as read with one correction made by Trustee White, seconded by Trustee Krasucki. Motion carried.
Minutes of 1/11/07: Motion to accept minutes as read made by Trustee Costello, seconded by Trustee Baker. Motion carried with Trustee White abstaining due to her absence from this meeting.
Abstract 16: Trustee Costello made a motion to approve abstract 16 with the exception of the payment to CP Ward in the amount of $90,224.54 due to the fact that this payment was approved in the January 9, 2007 minutes. Seconded by Trustee White. Motion carried.
Robin Delf-Connor: Mrs.Delf-Connor raised the question as to why the kiosk at the Falls Park was erected on the observation deck. Mayor Monson said that it can be moved but it was put at that location because we have another one being made that will be put up in the yard somewhere next to the observation deck. Mrs.Delf-Connor stated that she knows that some weddings have been planned on the observation deck and thought that maybe that the kiosk would interfere. Mayor Monson stated that we will see how it plays out but if it doesnt work out there it can be moved.
Mrs.Delf-Connor also inquired about the Wolcott Bicentennial celebration as to there was any way that it could be posted on the Village of Wolcott website. Mayor Monson informed everyone that he has created a web site named the Wolcott Crier and has posted information on the Bicentennial celebration here. This is a very interesting web site offered to residents by invitation only, if you would like to be invited to this web site you need to send Mayor Monson an email atjmonson@rochester.rr.com stating so and he will send you an invitation. Mayor Monson would also like everyone to know that this site is designed to inform people on the history and current happenings in the Community; this however is not a site for political or religious views to be expressed and that Mayor Monson reserves the right to remove anything he feels is referenced in bad taste.
Mrs.Delf-Connor expressed concerns regarding the meeting Mayor Monson will have with the staff and owners of Reckitt and Benckiser on Monday, January29, 2007.
