LETTER OF RESIGNATION FROM COUNCILMAN GIER: Supervisor Pero acknowledged the resignation of Councilman Gier. He acknowledged the tremendous efforts of Mr. Gier as councilman and Deputy Supervisor.
JUSTICE COURT AUDIT: Supervisor Pero read from a letter from the Comptroller’s office regarding the Supervisor’s “plan of Action”. The letter noted that the plan of action did not address the audit report’s recommendation number 2, that “…the Justices should prepare monthly bank reconciliation and an accountability analysis. Promptly take corrective actions for any discrepancies...” Supervisor Pero asked Joseph Ostrowski about their personal review of the audit. He replied that the bank reconciliations were prepared correctly and timely. The only problem he found was that the reconciliations were not signed by the preparer. Supervisor Pero then motioned that the Board acknowledges, by resolution, that an examination of the audit was conducted. Councilman Kaczmarek seconded the motion.
A roll call vote was taken:
Supervisor Pero-aye
Councilman Kaczmarek-aye
Councilman Clark-aye.
Councilman DeCarlo-aye 4 ayes, 0 nays. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

RETURN TO OLD BUSINESS (item# 1)
ADDENDUM TO CURRENT LAW (AG DISTRICT PERMITTED USE) AND (SEQR)
Supervisor Pero read the SEQR:
TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF BRANT
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT (SEQRA)
Negative Declaration (January 13, 2015)
WHEREAS, the Brant Town Board is considering action relative to the adoption of Proposed Local Law No. 1- 2015, which would amend the Town of Brant Zoning Code to allow existing buildings and structures within the Agricultural (A) Zoning District in the Town of Brant to be re-purposed for commercial uses upon issuance of a Special Permit (hereinafter “Project” or “Action”); and
WHEREAS, the Brant Town Board previously declared itself Lead Agency by resolution dated November 12, 2014 and a public hearing thereon was held on January 13, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the Board made a referral of the proposed Action to the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning pursuant to General Municipal Law Section 239-m and has considered all responses and comments from such agency; and
WHEREAS, the Board has taken a “hard look” at all potentially adverse environmental impacts pursuant to SEQRA.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board that:
Based upon the Board’s thorough and careful review of the Action, including the Environmental Assessment Form and all other materials submitted in connection therewith, the Board hereby determines that the Action will not result in any significant environmental impacts and hereby issues a negative declaration for the Action pursuant to SEQRA.
REASONS SUPPORTING THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
1. Air, Water, Noise, Waste, Erosion, Drainage, Site Disturbance Effects: The Action will not create any permanent adverse change in the existing air quality, water quality or noise levels, nor in solid waste production, nor potential for erosion, nor promote flooding or drainage problems.
2. Aesthetics, Agriculture, Archeology, History, Natural or Cultural Resource, Community or Neighborhood Characteristics: The Action will not adversely affect agricultural, archeological, historical, natural, or cultural recourses.
3. Vegetation, Fish, Wildlife, Significant Habitats, Threatened or Endangered Species: No plant or animal life will be adversely affected by the Action.
4. Community Plans, Use of Land or Natural Resources: The Action is not inconsistent with official community plans and goals and will have no adverse effects on land-use or the use of natural resources by or in the community.
5. Growth, Subsequent Development, etc.: The Action will not induce any significant or adverse growth or subsequent development.
6. Long Term, Short Term, Cumulative, or Other Effects: The Action will not have any significant adverse long term, short term, cumulative, or other environmental effects.
7. Critical Environmental Area: The Action will not have significant impact on any Critical Environmental Area as designated in 6 NYCRR, subdivision 617.14(g).
8. Public Health and Safety: The Action will have no immediate impact upon these concerns.
6 NYCRR § 617.1 states that it is the intention of the SEQR regulation “that a suitable balance of social, economic and environmental factors be incorporated in the planning and decision making of State, regional and local agencies. It is not the intention of SEQR that environmental factors be the sole consideration in decision making.”
This Board has considered all of the evidence submitted and has determined that the Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on the community.

SUPERVISOR PERO: Presented the Grant Writer’s report of Grants. Attended 13 meetings in December
RECOGNIZED PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Joyce Ellis of Brant Farnham Road asked how a business can just come into Town and be up and running. Do they have to go before the Board? She asked why there is no weight limit posted on Hardpan Road. She is happy they are holding a meeting on Jan. 20. She questioned if the Code Officer Gary Brecker lives in New York. The Code Officer responded he lives in Little Valley. Attorney Trask responded that in 2010, the Town had amended the code to allow him anywhere in Erie County, and in any County Contiguous to Erie County.
Attorney Trask continued that when the new owner made the request for the Special Use Permit on August 26, 2014 he made certain representations in the application. This permit is subject to expire on June 30 of 2015. It is helpful if the neighbors note the differences between how the business is being run by current owner operation, as opposed to the previous owner.

Supervisor Pero received the following correspondence:
• Sales Tax payment for January 1st is 2.39% greater than 2014 corresponding payment. The YTD amount is 3.71% above 2014.
