VISITOR COMMENTS:
Chris Green introduced himself to the Town Board and expressed his interest in establishing a business
known as Elbert Ross Heavy Industries, which would operate out of two garage bays at Niagara Scenic
Tours, located at 2926 Lakeville Road, Avon, NY 14414.
Mr. Green explained that his business would specialize in welding and fabrication repairs for heavy
equipment and semi-trailers. He stated that he has approximately 20 years of experience working in the
industry.
Supervisor LeFeber asked Mr. Green to describe the portion of the facility he would be occupying. Mr.
Green stated that he would be using the last two bays of the building and would have three semi-trailersized parking spaces located in front of his bays.
Councilman Drozdziel asked what types of equipment Mr. Green would be working on. Mr. Green
explained that he would primarily work on semi-trailers, including trailers similar to those used by
Casella and Waste Management. He stated that, to his knowledge, there is currently no other business in
the area specializing in this type of repair.
The Board discussed the handling and storage of waste and excess materials generated by the business.
Mr. Green stated that he would reuse some materials when possible and would have a designated area on
the other side of his bays, away from the customer area, for storage of other materials.
Councilman Drozdziel asked whether the business would initially be a one-person operation. Mr. Green
stated that he and his wife would operate the business initially, with the possibility of hiring two
additional employees as the business grows.
The Board discussed ventilation and welding-related smoke. Mr. Green explained that he uses a shop
vacuum with a filter system to help minimize smoke and fumes. The Board also discussed whether any
1

electrical modifications would be necessary. Mr. Green stated that no major electrical modifications
would be required and that the space would be ready for the business to move in and begin operations.
The Board discussed the proposed hours of operation. Mr. Green stated that the business would operate
Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Mr. Green also explained that he would use a forklift to move equipment in and out of the garage bays.
He stated that propane would be used and would be stored on the west side of the building.
The Town Board discussed the proposal with Attorney Campbell. Attorney Campbell and the Board
discussed preparing a resolution regarding the proposed business, including a letter of approval or
authorization from the property owner and a site plan from Mr. Green.
Following discussion, the Town Board agreed to proceed with the following resolution:
RESOLUTION 130-2026
APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PDD USE FOR 2926 LAKEVILLE ROAD AND
HAVE ATTORNEY CAMPBELL DRAW UP A RESOLUTION
On motion of Supervisor LeFeber seconded by Deputy Supervisor Mairs the following resolution was
ADOPTED – Aye – LeFeber, Mairs, Drozdziel, Coyne, Hayes Nay – 0 Absent – 0
RESOLVED, to move forward with the PDD use for 2926 Lakeville Road and have a resolution
drawn up by Attorney Campbell.
Cindy Kellen asked the Board whether there were any concerns regarding traffic around Niagara Scenic
Tours, considering the buses, semi-trailers, and campers entering and exiting the facility, as well as
propane trucks coming and going across the street.
The Supervisor, Town Board, and Attorney Campbell discussed the potential traffic impact. Following
discussion, the Board did not believe the proposed business would significantly increase traffic, as it
would initially be a sole proprietorship involving approximately one vehicle entering and exiting the
facility for repairs, with each repair requiring approximately 40 hours of labor.
RESOLUTION 131-2026
APPROVAL OF August 27, 2026 MINUTES
On motion of Deputy Supervisor Mairs seconded by Councilman Drozdziel the following resolution was
ADOPTED – Aye – LeFeber, Mairs, Drozdziel, Coyne, Hayes Nay – 0 Absent – 0
RESOLVED, that the minutes of August 27, 2026, be approved as presented and request they be
published to the Town of Avon’s website at www.avon-ny.gov.
DEPARTMENT REPORTS
JIM CAMPBELL – ATTORNEY
Attorney Jim Campbell updated the Board on the following:
 Attorney Campbell informed the Board that he has been busy working with Carson on the Battery
Energy Storage Project. He stated that a conference call is scheduled for tomorrow to determine
whether the parties can reach a consensus on some of the financial negotiations regarding the
PILOT and Community Benefit Agreement, as well as proposed changes to the language of the
2









agreement. Attorney Campbell stated that the conference call will include himself, Supervisor
LeFeber, representatives from Carson Energy, their attorney, and Eric Anderson, whom the Board
has previously met. He stated that he is hopeful the conference call will provide a better
understanding of where the parties currently stand.
Attorney Campbell also informed the Board that he had sent them a proposed draft local law
establishing a moratorium on data centers. He stated that the information provided by
Councilman Collins was very helpful in preparing the draft. Attorney Campbell said that since he
presented the proposed local law to the Board at tonight’s meeting, he would like the Board to
review it and provide any thoughts, questions, or proposed changes. If there are no significant
changes, he anticipates that at the next Board meeting they can move forward with scheduling a
public hearing and referring the proposed local law to the County Planning Board.
Attorney Campbell explained that although the moratorium would be temporary in nature, it
constitutes a zoning change and therefore must be referred to the County Planning Board. He also
stated that he would assist Clerk Beshures with sending the required notices to adjoining
municipalities.
Attorney Campbell asked the Board if there were any questions regarding the proposed local law
establishing the moratorium. Supervisor LeFeber stated that he had no questions and that he
believed Attorney Campbell’s approach made sense.
Attorney Campbell stated that he would move the process forward but would not take any official
action until the next Board meeting. In the meantime, he will prepare the County Planning Board
referral, SEQR forms, and any other information that will be required for the Board to submit to
the County.

THOMAS CRYE – HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Supervisor LeFeber had a written report from Highway Superintendent Tom Crye and updated the Board
on the following:
Highway Department:





Helped Lima and Caledonia pave.
Working on mowback.
Ferris mowing.
Worked on ditching.

Water Department:
 Everyday maintenance and sampling.
BRIAN SHANNON – CODE ENFORCEMENT
Code Enforcement Officer Brian Shannon updated the Board on the following:





Working on permits.
Working on inspections.
Approval of eight permits for new homes in the Twin Cedars Development.
Met with Jim Schillinger about building a barn for tenants to store stuff in, more to come with
that. There was a brief discussion on this of what type of building, size, location, and what it’d be
used for. Code Enforcement Brian said he’s looking into all of this.
3

 CNY Feeds has broken ground for their new facility; this will be a lot of work as far as
inspections go. This brought on a brief discussion with Supervisor LeFeber and Code
Enforcement stating how CNY Feeds will be having different buildings there but are completing
one before starting the next and so the operation won’t start up there until everything is complete.
 No new complaints in the Town for anything since last meeting.
DAVE WILLARD – ENGINEERS
Dave Willard of MRB Group updated the Board on the following items:
 Dave Willard stated that Confidential Secretary McDowell sent him, Eric, and Lance an
application for a backflow preventer for CNY Feeds’ private water main, which will be extending
from Bruckel Road. Willard explained that the water main will run through a hot box containing a
backflow preventer. The water main will run parallel to the dedicated private road, with the hot
box located on the north side of the private road.
 Willard stated that he sent another email to the DEC regarding the Sackett Road and Pole Bridge
Road culverts. He copied Supervisor LeFeber on the email and stated that he is hopeful the
communication will help move the matter along.
 Regarding the Joint Water Project, Willard stated that he is still waiting for an updated schedule
from CP Ward. They are beginning to determine the lead times for the PHM equipment and have
indicated that there will be some delays. As a result, the planned October start date may no longer
be feasible.
 Deputy Supervisor Mairs asked when the project would begin if it does not start in October,
possibly asking if the work would be delayed until April. Willard stated that he was unsure,
explaining that the tank cannot be rehabilitated during the winter months. He stated that the
previous plan was to complete the necessary work and installation, take the tank out of service,
and then return to complete the rehabilitation work. However, based on the current information,
Willard believes they may now be leaning toward completing the entire project next year.
 A discussion followed between Supervisor LeFeber and Willard regarding the project schedule,
with both noting that the schedule could change again. Willard stated that the Town should expect
to receive a revised schedule from CP Ward within the next couple of weeks.
 Willard explained that the delays are primarily related to the lead times for the PHM equipment
and control panels, as well as equipment needed for the Village tank, including the magnetic
meter that is part of the project. He also noted that the LTP valve and PRP valve are not expected
to be delivered until the end of September, making an October start date less likely. Supervisor
LeFeber stated that, based on the current information, it sounds as though most of the work will
likely take place next year.
 Deputy Supervisor Mairs and Supervisor LeFeber discussed the possibility of contacting higherlevel DEC officials, noting that the Town has been waiting since May without receiving the
necessary response. Councilman Coyne asked whether Senator Helming, if she has a good
rapport with DEC, could assist with the matter. Supervisor LeFeber stated that the Town could
reach out to Assemblywoman Bailey or Senator Helming for assistance.
 Councilman Drozdziel asked Willard whether DEC responds when he sends emails. Willard
stated that DEC has generally been very good about responding to his emails.
 Supervisor LeFeber stated that the Town received a DocuSign document regarding Papermill
Park that they had been waiting for.
 Councilman Drozdziel stated that he hoped the Town would have received an update from DEC
by the next Board meeting. Willard agreed and stated that there may be additional information or
items that the Town will need to complete before DEC issues a notice that the application is
complete.
4

 Councilman Coyne stated that he may have missed the discussion but asked about the status of
Garden Street. Supervisor LeFeber stated that the Board had discussed potentially including the
project in the budget and completing the work next year. Willard stated that he had mentioned
Garden Street in his recent communication with DEC regarding the Sackett Road and Pole Bridge
Road culverts.
 Councilman Coyne asked Supervisor LeFeber about a water-flow interruption that had occurred
and how long the interruption lasted. Supervisor LeFeber stated that the Town's water system was
back up by approximately 1:00 p.m., and the Village was back up by approximately 2:00 or 3:00
p.m. The Board believed the issue was likely caused by a power surge.
 Supervisor LeFeber asked Dave Willard to provide an update on the culvert study, noting that
there was someone in the audience who was interested in the project.
 Willard explained that the grant the Town received following the storm was a study grant and was
intended to evaluate the existing infrastructure rather than fund implementation or construction.
The study includes six culverts, one of which is located at Darby Road and another at Littleville
Road. These locations are part of the Little Conesus Creek watershed, including the main
watershed and its tributaries.
 Willard explained that as part of the study, the existing culverts are surveyed and the peak flow to
each culvert during a 100-year storm event is calculated. The study also evaluates whether each
culvert is adequately sized and considers factors such as aquatic connectivity. Conceptual plans
for potential culvert replacements will then be developed.
 Willard stated that the Town is approximately halfway through the report. The watershed
calculations and anticipated flows to the existing culverts have been completed, but the process of
developing replacement culvert sizes has not yet begun.
 Willard explained that the timeline for completing the study is being coordinated with the
Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process, which is anticipated to take place in July 2027.
The Town intends to pursue grant funding for culvert replacement through the New York State
Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP), administered by the DEC, which is the same grant
program used for the Sackett Road and Pole Bridge Road projects.
 Willard stated that the goal is to have the study completed in time to support a grant application.
He anticipates that the report will likely be completed sometime during the winter.
 Supervisor LeFeber asked whether the Town would be ready to submit a grant application in July
2027. Willard stated that the Town should be ready to proceed at that time.
 Supervisor LeFeber asked whether the Town would be able to include several culvert locations in
one grant application or whether the applications would need to be submitted individually.
Willard stated that he was not certain whether the Town would have better odds applying for
three locations versus one. He stated that they could discuss the matter with Lori Fox at the
appropriate time and determine the best approach when the grant application process begins.
 Supervisor LeFeber mentioned to Dave Willard that the Board still had the proposal for the
NRCS project that he had submitted at a previous meeting and asked if he would like to discuss
it. Willard explained that the Town would be receiving two locations as part of the project and
that designs had been completed for one of them, located on Littleville Road. Willard stated that
they were not comfortable proceeding with the design at this time because additional surveying of
the easement would be required. He noted that there are several moving parts involved with the
project and asked the Board to review the proposal and let him know if they had any questions.
Supervisor LeFeber stated that there is an allowance for surveying associated with these projects
included in next year’s budget.
TAMI SNYDER - ASSESSOR
Supervisor LeFeber asked Assessor Tami Snyder if she had a report for the Board. Assessor Snyder
requested to be added to the email distribution lists for the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals
(ZBA). Attorney Jim Campbell agreed that this would be a good idea.
5

Resident Ellen Turner asked the Board if, when a new business is brought before the Planning Board or
Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) for approval to locate in the Town or Village, the information could also
be announced at the Town Board or Village Board meetings. Turner stated that she attends both Board
meetings but was unaware that a Taco Bell was coming to the area. She said she thought it would be
helpful for residents to hear about new businesses at the Town or Village Board meetings, as not everyone
attends Planning Board or ZBA meetings.
FAYE BESHURES – TOWN CLERK’S
Town Clerk Faye Beshures presented the following report to the Board:
Clerk Beshures reported that during the month of August, the Town Clerk’s Office processed 76 hunting
licenses, 4 fishing licenses, 2 marriage licenses, 2 marriage license copies, 1 one-day officiant license, 3
E-ZPass transactions, 21 dog licenses, 1 zoning compliance letter, 15 building permits, and 1 operating
permit. These transactions generated a total of $6,356.57 in revenue, of which $5,006.26 remains in the
Town.

Clerk Beshures stated that, so far for the month of September, she has processed 15 hunting licenses, 2
fishing licenses, 4 marriage licenses, 11 dog licenses, 3 building permits, and several accessible parking
permits. These transactions generated a total of $1,138.00 in revenue thus far, of which $351.88 stays in
the town.
Clerk Beshures reported that, in addition to the routine business conducted in the Town Clerk’s Office,
there has been steady foot traffic throughout the office. Residents have been coming in for Court-related
business, to visit the Assessor, to ask questions regarding upcoming dump days, to pay their water bills,
and to stop in to say hello or ask general questions.

DISCUSSION OF CLAIMS & PAYMENT OF BILLS
Supervisor LeFeber stated that there was one claim he was not prepared to approve, which was the claim
for the Deputy Town Clerk. He explained that he had contacted Local Government Support Services
(LGSS), which handles the Town’s payroll, regarding the Deputy Town Clerk’s compensation. LGSS
requested information including the Deputy Town Clerk’s hourly rate, how often she would be working,
7

and her start date. Supervisor LeFeber stated that Deputy Town Clerks should be paid through payroll and
should submit timesheets for each pay period.
Town Clerk Beshures asked whether this had been the procedure when Diana Farrell served as Town
Clerk for the previous two years. Clerk Beshures stated that while reviewing prior budget information,
she did not find records indicating that the Deputy Town Clerk had been paid through payroll. She stated
that the records she found showed that Diana Farrell submitted a voucher for the Deputy Town Clerk
approximately every other month. Clerk Beshures explained that when she appointed her Deputy Town
Clerk, it was stated during the organizational meeting that the Deputy Town Clerk would continue to be
paid by voucher. As a newly elected Town Clerk, she was not aware that she was expected to submit
vouchers to the Board for approval for the Deputy Town Clerk’s compensation and therefore submitted
the claim based on the procedure she understood had been followed previously.
Supervisor LeFeber asked Clerk Beshures whether the Deputy Town Clerk had performed any work for
her. Clerk Beshures stated that she had not performed any work other than being available on standby
should assistance be needed while Clerk Beshures was away from the Town Clerk’s Office.
There was discussion among the Supervisor, Board members, and Clerk Beshures regarding the
appropriate procedure for compensating the Deputy Town Clerk. Clerk Beshures stated that she
understood Supervisor LeFeber’s position and agreed that the procedure could be changed going forward.
She noted that the process may have been handled differently in the past and that, regardless of how it
was previously done, the Town should follow the proper procedure going forward. Clerk Beshures
explained that she had not previously been shown or advised that the Deputy Town Clerk should be paid
through payroll, which was why she submitted the voucher. She also noted that she had met privately
with Supervisor LeFeber prior to the meeting and that this issue had not been discussed this way at that
time.
Supervisor LeFeber agreed that the payroll procedure had not been discussed during his prior meeting
with Clerk Beshures. He stated that the matter was ultimately up to the Board members to make their own
decision.
Supervisor LeFeber asked if there were any further questions regarding the claims and payment of bills.
There were no further questions. The Board proceeded with a motion to approve the claims and payment
of bills, excluding the Deputy Town Clerk claim.
RESOLUTION 136-2026

OPEN ITEMS – TOWN BOARD MEMBERS
DISCUSSION – HURRICANE INVOICE
Councilman Hayes asked Supervisor LeFeber whether the Town had received any invoices from
Hurricane Technologies for the report prepared following the recent computer issue. Supervisor LeFeber
stated that no invoices had been received.
Councilman Hayes asked whether the Town was currently under contract with Hurricane Technologies for
a set number of service hours. Supervisor LeFeber explained that the Town had purchased a block of
service hours to be used as needed.
Supervisor LeFeber also reported that he is working with the Town’s insurance company regarding the
incident. He stated that the Town has a $2500 deductible and noted that the insurance company is not
expected to cover the cost of the three older laptops that were replaced. He further stated that the Town
has followed all directions provided by the insurance company and has documented the actions taken in
response to the incident.
DISCUSSION – DEPUTY TOWN CLERK PAY
Clerk Beshures stated that she had forgotten to ask an additional question earlier regarding the Deputy
Town Clerk. She asked whether Deputy Town Clerk Randall would need to complete the appropriate
employment paperwork in order to be placed on payroll when she steps in for the Town Clerk, such as
processing a death certificate or handling other Town Clerk duties, or whether she should continue
completing a voucher to be paid.
Supervisor LeFeber stated that, based on the information provided by LGSS, the Town will need to
determine an hourly rate for Deputy Town Clerk Randall and place her on the Town’s compensation
schedule. He explained that she would then be treated in the same manner as any other Town employee
for payroll purposes.
DISCUSSION – GENESEE TRANSPORTATION MEETING
Councilman Hayes informed the Board that the East Avon planning meeting regarding Genesee
Transportation is scheduled for next Monday. He stated that he, Councilman Drozdziel, Angela, Megan
Crowe, and, he believed, Maureen Wheeler from the County would be attending.
Councilman Hayes also brought up the Whitehorse statue in East Avon. He stated that he had forwarded
information to the Board after someone contacted him expressing concern that the statue appeared to be
deteriorating and could potentially collapse. Councilman Hayes stated that the base of the statue is
deteriorating and asked how the Board would like to proceed. There was discussion among the Board
regarding ownership of the Whitehorse statue. The Board agreed that ownership should first be
determined before deciding how to proceed.
Resident Jim Harrington stated that several years ago he had offered to repair the statue at his own
expense, with assistance from residents Dan Brokaw and Paul Gillette. However, drainage issues arose
9

and the project was put on hold. Mr. Harrington stated that he had attended meetings with Patty Moran
and Rhonda LaFever and that they had been in contact with someone regarding having the statue
professionally repaired. He was unsure where the process had stopped. There was additional discussion
regarding the condition and possible repair of the statue, but no decision was made.
Deputy Supervisor Mairs asked when the Town would begin accepting brush again, stating that residents
had been asking about it. Supervisor LeFeber stated that the Town is waiting for the crew to finish
grinding the existing brush and hauling it away before accepting additional brush.
Supervisor LeFeber reminded the Board that Dump Days will be held on Saturday. He then opened the
floor for visitor comments
VISITOR COMMENTS:
Resident Ellen Turner stated that she had been listening to Josh Reid on the Daily Dose podcast, where he
discussed data centers. Ms. Turner stated that Mr. Reid compared data centers to golf courses, noting that
golf courses can occupy approximately twice as much land and can have similar environmental impacts
and resource demands. Ms. Turner stated that she found the comparison interesting.
Ms. Turner stated that Mr. Reid is generally supportive of data centers but does not necessarily support
locating them in small towns or villages. She stated that he discussed the amount of revenue that data
centers can generate for municipalities, provided that issues such as noise can be addressed. Supervisor
LeFeber asked if she was referring to data centers bringing significant revenue into the municipality. Ms.
Turner stated that she believed that was what the developer had indicated and that the developer would
provide the funding rather than the taxpayers.
Ms. Turner also stated that Mr. Reid is originally from Caledonia, currently lives in Minnesota, and
previously served in the Navy. She stated that, in her opinion, he has a broad perspective on the
discussions surrounding artificial intelligence and data centers. Ms. Turner further stated that China is
moving quickly to advance its capabilities in artificial intelligence and data centers and that she considers
this a significant concern.
Supervisor LeFeber stated that his only comment was that, while people discuss the amount of money
developers can bring into a municipality, the municipality should try to actually obtain those funds. He
stated that developers are trying to make a profit and may seek to maximize the amount of money they
retain.
Ms. Turner acknowledged Supervisor LeFeber’s comments and stated that she understood he had
experience with these types of matters. She said she simply wanted to bring the information to the
Board’s attention.
On motion of Deputy Supervisor Mairs seconded by Supervisor LeFeber and carried by all, the Board
meeting was adjourned at 7:34pm.
Respectfully submitted,

Faye Beshures
Town Clerk
