Court is mostly open. The Constabulary answered 20 direct calls for service and other duties in August of
2021. These included:
• 12 Neighbor to Neighbor and Quality of Life Complaints
• 5 Resident Traffic Complaints (Cherrytown Rd, Clay Hill Rd., Samsonville Rd., Towpath Rd. and
Whitfield Rd.)
• 3 Environmental Complaints, (Rochester Center Rd., Kyserike Rd., Old Kings Hwy)
• 6 New Building Department Violations

• 16 Court Proceedings Remain Open
• 0 Court Proceedings Closed Interesting Occurrences: It has been another busy month. During this month, traffic and parking condition complaints from
residents have remained constant. One of our officers was able to identify and confirm a warrant was
active on a Level 2 Sex Offender. Working with the Port Jervis Police Department and the Ulster County
Sheriff’s Office we arranged for the individual to be picked up and remanded into custody with no force
used. Again, trespasses onto residents’ properties in many areas of the Town is still an ongoing issue.
Complaints regarding garbage being dumped on residents’ properties, vacant lands and on several local
roads have been steady for the month. Neighbor to neighbor complaints have decreased somewhat this
month with the notable exception of an increase in noise complaints. 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 Dept: the summer program was a great success for summer camp.
Councilwoman Enouen:
Transfer Station:the new Transfer Station employee started this week.
ZBA: last month there were two agenda items & 1 open application

We have volunteers for the 34 acre parcel to remove invasive species.
Supervisor Baden:thePlanning Board has been very busy.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Manuela Michaelescu:
I don’t want to sound like a broken record but I will, if necessary…So… this is regarding — again — the Fire Inspection fee, about which we submitted a letter on June 28, 2021 asking the Town Board to grandfather-in the old frequency (once every two years) and old fee of $50 for our residential/commercial building. As it’s September and we had our fire inspection in September last year, according to the Notice received at the end of May from the CEO’s office… soon we’d be already in violation of what they require.
The Town Board decision from the Organizational meeting of January 4th this year clearly indicates that establishments “MEANT for public assembly for less than 50 persons,” as ours, should have the fire inspection every two years. The Notice also completely disregards the fact that our building is residential/commercial for more than 10 years, after the Special Use Permit for Mixed Use was approved in December 2010. Not to mention that because of the pandemic our building was ONLY residential for 2 years and a Fire Inspecton fee increased 5 times is extremely unfair.Please consider our request and approve that the old fee of $50 and frequency of fire inspections (every 2 years) are grandfathered-in for our building.

BOARD MEMBER TIME:

Supervisor Baden stated that several months ago he was approached by the owners of skate time to see if the Town Board would be interested in purchasing the building. The Board agreed to have the appraisal completed and discussed the proposition. The Board agreed to have a referendum vote and hear what the public thinks.
The Town wide election will take place on December 7, 2021 from 12-9pm at the Harold Lipton Community Center. The Board plans on having multiple meetings to get public imput and discuss the project.

RESOLUTIONS:

The Town of Rochester Town Board desires to purchase a parcel of improved land, together with a 30,000+/- square foot indoor roller skating building, related structures and appurtenances thereon and consisting of approximately 5.96 acres situate at 5164 Route 209 Accord, new York 12404 and being located in the Town of Rochester, County of Ulster and State of New York, said parcel being further identified as tax map 76.2-2-20.200 and being further known as “ skate time Premises”. The Town Board agrees to purchase the said premises, subject as stated herein, and to pay the sum of $2,060,000.00 in the manner following; A. the total sum of $ 2,060,000.00, shall be paid at the time of closing and delivery of the deed and B. The purchase price includes the items of personal property annexed hereto as exhibit B.

BOND RESOLUTION:
Resolution # 266-2021:

A Motion was made by Councilwoman Enouenthat Bond resolution dated September 2, 2021 authorizing, subject to mandatory referendum, the Acquisition of an approximately 5.96 acre parcel of land and the building thereon in and for the Town of Rochester, Ulster County NY at a maximum estimated cost of $ 2,060,000.00 and authorizing the issuance of $ 2,060,000.00 bonds of said Town to pay the cost thereof.
Second: Councilman Paddock
DISCUSSION:
Councilman Paddock: the Town Board had a Building condition survey with a result of 5 million dollar price tag to make appropriate updates. Town government is growing and we need to make decisions moving forward. The Route 209 purchase is interesting because there is potential for several options; Town space is an issue, if it is sold to someone else we may loose the recreational proposition that comes with it.
Councilwoman Enouen: This is an option to solve a problem we have. Working with a 5.3 million price tag to repair buildings we’ve out grown is an issue. I support hearing from the public and let them decide. I support putting it to a vote directly and the Town of Rochester can decide if we will embark or explore other options. I’m committed to publicizing the election broadly as possible and want a high turn out, we want people to show up.
Councilwoman Haugen-Depuy: I have been pushing from the beginning to go to a referendum vote. I want everyone to understand the costs associated with the building. If the vote fails the bond doesn’t continue, if it passes we will have to vote again to have the upgrades completed. I believe with the 5.3 million dollar study we can bring buildings up to use.
Councilman Hewitt: this is a exciting time for the Town of Rochester we have a lot of changes going on. This process is exciting and remember we took 4 years to approve the Short-term rental law because we wanted to hear from the people. I believe having the referendum is the right solution.
Supervisor Baden: We need space and the recreational end gives us the opportunity to use it immediately. We have paid $ 4,000.00 for the appraisal and attorney fees to negotiate costs with the seller. It’s an opportunity and we want to hear from the voters. We have the potential to lease the courthouse building and Town hall which can bring in a revenue stream.
Councilwoman Haugen-Depuy stated that she would like to go back to public comment and hear what the audience thinks.

The Town Board tabled the resolution and reopened the public comment:

PUBLIC COMMENT:

One resident asked what the apprasial value came back as?
Supervisor Baden: $ 2,125,000.00

Manuela Michaelescu: whats the cost to the taxpayer? Will the final expenses be included? This will take revenue off the tax roll why would we do it? Can’t we build an addition?

Councilman Paddock: we have no numbers at the moment. We can build out office space but we loose the recreational space opportunity.
Councilman Hewitt: we will incorporate as much as we can in the public sessions.

Malena Callan: it is going to cost a lot in upkeep and maintenance over time and I hope the Board considers all of that during the sessions.

Larry Dewitt: there are going to be a lot of questions when referring to alternatives like rental leases, I think it would help tremendously having some of those possible figures.

Councilwoman Enouen: this discussion is exactly what we need regardless of how the referendum goes, we will know how the public feels.There are no guarantees but there are a lot of state grant funding that can help with some of the cost.

Brian Hoornbeek: State grants are well and fine however taxes keep going up, seniors are on fixed incomes and as a young guy here trying to start a family, it’s getting tougher and tougher.

Councilman Paddock: we have the lowest taxes in the County because we are bringing in contracts that other towns don’t, we have the two cell towers, the two solar farms we havean opportunity to reap the benefits.
