Interesting Occurrences:
We continue to be busy this month. It was an honor to participate in our Town’s Heritage Day festivities.
Everyone involved did a spectacular job! We assisted the UC Sheriff’s office and Accord Fire District
with traffic control at an accident on Rt. 209. During the service of papers to a local mobile home park,
Constable Cathcart had an older individual nearly pass out in front of him. We managed to contact 911
and call for an ambulance. We stayed with the individual, kept him talking and engaged while we waited
for medical assistance to arrive. He became quite vocal and visibly agitated. Once they arrived, he was
escorted to the ambulance and at their request we followed to the hospital. Later in the week I checked
on the individual and he is doing much better. Garbage complaints have increased yet again as have
traffic along town roads and on residents’ properties. In particular speed complaints are the most
common this month. Neighbor to neighbor complaints have stayed constant this month. The Police
Constabulary participated in the Recreation Department’s “Trunk or Treat” event and got to hand out
flyers and distribute some sweet treats to the kids (and some adults!) during the event. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of its variants, we continue to have limited direct contact with
complainants with a proportional increase in direct phone calls.
Recreation Department:
The drive thru treat or treat and pumpkin carving class were a huge success, A coat drive will run from 11/8-11/19 drop off at the community center. 11/19/21: Thanksgiving luncheon 11-1pm for take out meals. A wreath making class is scheduled for the 11/30.
Councilwoman Enouen: ZBA: 3 ongoing applications before the ZBA. Transfer Station: opened the Free Bin and it is a working progress, we are looking for volunteers if able.
Supervisor Baden: HPC: Canal Day 10/23 was a great success. Approximately 40 people in attendance. Guest speakers John Schoonmaker and Bill Merchant.
Planning Board: the Board has been very busy, and continue to have a full agenda.

TOWN BOARD MEMBER TIME:

Councilwoman Enouen asked what the protocol was for mask policy, it was requested by a ZBA member.
Supervisor Baden stated that we follow the CDC guidelines and using the honor system. The meetings can be done remotely.
Attorney Christiana was going to look into see if hybrid meetings were allowed.

Councilwoman Haugen-Depuy: regarding comments made regarding the increase in escrow, our previous Chair would write a lot of the decisions herself now applicants coming before the Planning Board will have to pay more. For the record, “if I was to win the election I would not have taken the raise.Regarding private email, I received a bullying email asking me to step down, telling me im too old to serve. Cancer didn’t kill me and I am here until 12/31/21. What doesn’t break you only makes you stronger. I lost by 183 votes approximately 8% which is not bad for the Town of Rochester and I will not tolerate being bullied.”

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Carol Fischer: What is the regulation regarding the Pledge of Alligence to the Flag at Town meetings?
Attorney Christiana stated the flag must be displayed but not sure if the Pledge is required.

Stephen Roberts: as a member of the Board of Ethics we have a issue with a member of the Ethics Board and was told it would be on tonights agenda.

Charles Narkos: regarding the County wide EMS service, this will not work for the Town of Rochester or anyother rural area. Currently we ( KAFAS) are working on a plan with the Town of Wawarsing and hoping to put this in place. We will get to you much quicker than a county-wide EMS service would.

Manuela Michaelescu:

1. Congratulations to all those running in this year’s Election and, of course, special congratulations to the winners.

2. With the Election behind us, there may be hopefully a new “perspective” in solving some issues, without fear of antagonizing certain voters…

3. When running for office we all say we’re going to “listen to the people” — now, I’m trying to figure out how this “listening” works in our case, regarding the new, yearly and 5 times increased Fire Inspection Fee which was wrongfully applied to our building, as:

— we wrote a letter to the Town Board on June 28, 2021
— I came to all Town Board meetings as of August and I spoke about it
— I provided documents via email to Supervisor Baden

I really do not understand what else we have to do to solve this issue. Maybe a “Letter to the Editor” to bring awareness regarding the issue and indicate how many months it takes to solve a minor problem, which is about respecting and correctly applying Town laws and decisions?

4. I’m sorry I get to say again something I said back in 2007, before being elected to the Town Board, and which I hoped I was not going to feel and say again: if you cannot trust your government with the little things, how can you trust it with major issues?! So… I’m not ashamed to sound like a broken record about the Fire Inspection issue.

5. To summarize — our issue is very simple:

A. our building is basically NOT (only) a commercial building, but a residential/commercial one — the Planning Board Decision for Mixed Use from December 2010 exists, was provided, and it’s not our fault that it was NOT conveyed to the CEO’s office in more than 10 years!

B. the rules established by the Town Board at the January 4, 2021 Organizational Meeting regarding the frequency of the fire inspections are extremely clear: establishments “MEANT for public assembly for less than 50 persons,” as ours, should have the fire inspection every two years! The quote is from the minutes.

This rule was misinterpreted in our case — as the Fire Inspector wrongfully divided the entire size of the building by 15 (?!), telling me that we’re “allowed” to have 160 persons basically in our house, instead of considering what the Town Board clearly indicates, “meant” for public assembly for less than 50 persons.

We request that the old frequency (every two years) and fee ($50) be grandfathered in in our case.
Hopefully the current Town Board can solve this before the year’s end.

Sherry Ellsworth: If there is a member of the Board that is bullying another member that member should be suspended immediately and the Town Board should take action. Why is skatetime not on the agenda? When is the next meeting? Do you have a personal gain since your both in the movie business.

• It was clarified that it was not a Town Board member or Town Employee that was bullying Councilwoman Haugen-Depuy.Councilwoman Haugen-Depuy stated it was a resident of the Town.

Supervisor Baden stated that if the referendum fails or if there are inspection and environmental issues the Town can revisit. This was simply one option and we put it to the voters to decide.

Shirley Avery: I offered to do a openhouse of all town buildings and I never heard back from you why not?

Clayton Haugen: the results of the inspections will not be shared, Supervisor Baden stated himself on the record, “ the inspections will not be shared because they can hinder sale of building for other potential buyers.”

Albert Babcock: Do you intend on justifying your raise? To the Board, given the turnout would the existing Board give their rationale justifying this increase.

Charlie Fischer: I called about the light on Academy Street and the price for lawn mower tires, any updates?
Supervisor Baden stated he put a call into Central Hudson on the lighting.

Meg Smith: in regards to the Watershed Education Park; there seems to be some confusion. The ECC conducted work on the site without permission of the Town Board. They were flying drones, using chainsaws, who authorized this? The Berme was never maintained as per the solar contract. With there only being one way in and one way out with the dirt from the road get on the panels and cause an issue? Creating this park will bring in other crimes, we had a meth lab set up on our rail trail and on 10/20/2013 I lost a dear friend that was stabbed 26 times while walking on a nature trail like this one in Ohio. I’m a safety freak and this location is the wrong place. You are neglecting to tell the public what the plans are.

Written Comments:

On a more positive note, congratulations to Mr. Hewitt on his new position. I know you will work hard and do good for the Town of Rochester on a county level.
Congratulations to Mr. Baden on a well deserved win. We should be so lucky to have him for our Supervisor. Someone who is qualified, knows what they are doing and is bringing the Town of Rochester into the next century. Someone who also does a full time job for a part time salary.
Let it be known that Mr. Baden’s raise in the new budget will cost the taxpayers 10 cents a month.
And the proposed purchase of skate time will cost the home owner of assessed value of $ 275,000 ONLY $ 35.00 a year.
And Councilwoman Depuy complains that the taxpayer can not afford it. She stated this knowing that the Town taxes are going down over 2 percent.
Ridiculous
Thank you for your time and attention.

Barbara Fornal

DISCUSSION ITEMS:

EMS SERVICE- KAFAS & MFAU BUDGET SUBMISSIONS:

Supervisor Baden received a letter from the Town of Marbletown Supervisor regarding a certificate of authority to service the Town. It is unclear if a Town Supervisor can supersede districting of EMS with a resolution of certificate of authority.
The Board invited Charles Narkos resident of the Town and a member of KAFAS to join in the discussion. Charles explained the hybrid model approach they are hoping to pursue. KAFAS has been working with the Town of Wawarsing on a plan. Fly cars were discussed to help with administering aid. Members are prepared to take on the area of Rochester residents that fall under the Marbletown EMS district.

The Board thanked Mr. Narkos for the dialog and understand this topic needs to be prioritized. The Board will continue to work on this moving into the 2022 year.
Supervisor Baden stated that the Board can use some of the ARPA distributions for the EMS services.

ARPA DISBURSEMENTS:

PREMIUM PAY:

Supervisor Baden stated from March- December 38,000 hours were recorded so I expect the hours to run between 75-76,000. I suggest that we offer $ 1.00 or premium pay per hour worked. I would like us to split it in to 2 checks one for 2020 year and one for 2021 year. It would be nice to get these to the employees by the end of December. It would help for the holidays. The Board agreed to move forward and get actual figures by the next meeting.
