Town Board Meeting Notes
In this report, I am presenting a preliminary look at the 2022 financial results for the
Town as of December 31. The 2022 books will not close until the end of February to
allow for receipt and processing of outstanding commitments, and to account for
and properly book the remaining revenue that is owed to the Town. Again, during
the March Town Board meeting, I will present the most current 2022 preliminary
results along with the respective 2023 monthly financial reports. The Town's
auditors from the Bonadio Group will present highlights of the audited 2022
Financial Statements and Audit Report upon completion of the audit work.
The 2022 financial results as of December 31st: 100% of the year has elapsed and
the Town's total expenses slightly higher than budget at 100.6%—a sum of
$39,743,894.
Encumbrances are $1.109k and actual expenses total $38.634k. The actual
expenses alone equate to 97.8% of budget. Encumbrances are still an important part
of the Town's outstanding commitments.
The General Fund expenses are on par with budget at 100.5% or $24.886k. The
actual expenditures are 96.9% of budget or $23.976k while 3.7% (910k) remains for
encumbrances. Outstanding general fund encumbrances include $335k for
columbarium construction, $66k for IT projects, $134k for vehicles ordered in 2022
not yet received, and $80k for the school violence safety grant.
Overall, the expenses in the highway funds are above budget at 107.7%; a total of
approximately $6.107k. The costs in these funds result from considerable expenses
for salt, gas, and paving as anticipated. The overage of expenditures results from
1
additional paving and will be offset by a rollover of 2021 CHIPS revenue.
The Library expenditures are favorable at 96.8% of budget —a total of $2.699k.
Expenses in the Sewer Fund of $3.887k are below budget at 95.5%.
The Stormwater Drainage expenses are approximately 96.0% of budget —a total of
$887k.
Regarding the entire Town, revenue and appropriated fund balance of $36.660k or
94.5% has been documented to date.
The General Fund has recorded revenue of $22.185k —91.7% of budget. Real
estate tax of $11.797k has been collected. 98% of the Payment In Lieu Of Tax
revenue of almost $283k has been received. 8 months of Sales Tax revenue in the
amount of $ 4.604k (80.8% of budget); the AIM related payment of
$613k has been received and Mortgage Tax for the three quarters of $925k has
been received (94.4% of budget). Additional revenue to be recorded include 6
months of franchise fees, 4 months of sales tax and 3 months of mortgage tax.
At month -end, the Library had confirmed revenue of $2.813k — 100.9%.
95.9% or $5.421 k of revenue has been recorded by the Highway.
100.1% of the Sewer Fund of $3.997k has been verified.
Stormwater Drainage has received 97.8% of its budgeted revenue —$857k.
This concludes the 2nd preliminary financial report for December 2022.

PRESENTATION GIVEN BY WES PETTEE FROM LABELLA ASSOCIATES
REGARDING RENTAL REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES: Wes
Pettee from LaBella Associates discussed this issue with the Board members, mostly centering on
short-term rentals. He defined short-term rentals as the rental of all or part of a residential
dwelling unit for a duration of occupancy of less than 30 days. The Board members are looking
to update the rental codes that are outdated and move them into 2023. Most of the discussion
centered on legislation and enforcement of the regulations. Mr. Pettee identified some potential
goals to include in drafting new legislation: preservation of the character of the neighborhood,
protection of property values, maintaining public safety, maintaining housing affordability and
availability. allowing residents to use their properties to generate extra income and encourage
WORKSHOP MEETING JANUARY 10, 2023 6
tourism to fuel local economy. This housing issue in not just a local issue but is found in other
areas as well. This topic will be discussed with the public through a Public Hearing. The Board
members agreed that this is an issue that needs discussion regarding the drafting of new
legislation, followed by enforcement of the laws. It was suggested that the residents reach out to
the Board members with their comments. Mr. Pettee added that other areas to be discussed
include: definition of short-term rentals, rental certificate and associated fees, how long
certificate is valid and identify the process to renew and fee for renewal, parking requirements,
moratorium on short-term rentals and enforcement and penalties. Mr. Pettee reviewed the three
basic types of short-term rentals: 1) Host Sharing where the primary occupant remains on site
with guests; 2) Unhosted Sharing where the primary occupant vacates the property; and 3)
Dedicated Vacation Rental where there are no primary occupants on the property. Supervisor
Fitzpatrick inquired about Bed and Breakfast offerings in Town and that will have to be
researched.

SUPERVISOR’S REMARKS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: *Supervisor Fitzpatrick stated
that Winterfest will be held on Saturday, January 21, 2023 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be
outdoor activities for the whole family. *On January 25th, the Assessor’s Office will be at the

Wednesday, January 25th the Town Hall will be open from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to help
residents who are not able to come during the day. The Town Hall will also be open on Saturday,
January 28th from 9 a.m. to Noon to help people who are not able to come during the week. *On
Thursday, January 26th the Assessor’s Office will hold a revaluation program in the Broderick
Room at 6:00 p.m. This meeting will be streamed on all channels.
Supervisor Fitzpatrick noted that Chief of Police, Alan Laid, retired unexpectedly in November.
Since then, Acting Chief Mark Jesske has done an excellent job leading the Department while the
Town was conducting a thorough search for a new Chief of Police. Supervisor Fitzpatrick noted
that it is extremely important to quickly move on this matter for the safety and security of the
community and continuity of operations in the Police Department.
Attorney Megan Dorritie reviewed the process the Town followed in searching for a candidate to
fill this position. The resolution coming before the Board at this meeting was prepared after an
extended and deliberate candidate search, interviews, and investigation process. Attorney
Dorritie explained the process, as well as the Town’s actions on this matter in response to
concerns raised by a non-resident regarding the appointment. The Town canvassed the Civil
Service list for the open position and formed a five-person Selection Committee, consisting of the
Director of Human Resources, two members of Town staff and two Town Board members. She
stated that four candidates applied for the position and three candidates were interviewed; one
candidate withdrew before the interviews. At the end of that process, the Selection Committee
recommended that the Town offer the position to Mr. Peters. The offer was on the conditions that
the Board approve the appointment and that Mr. Peters successfully complete the background
investigation and medical and psychological examinations. Initially, the Town was slated to
consider the conditional appointment of Mr. Peters at the December 20th Regular Town Board
meeting. But after the Board members were made aware of the proposed resolution and before
the resolution was publicly posted, Attorney Dorritie received an email from Attorney Nathan
McMurray regarding Mr. Peters. Attorney McMurray lives and practices in the Buffalo area, but
he is known to the Town because he represents a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Town.
Attorney McMurray made some very serious allegations about Mr. Peters stating he organized
and attended what has been referred to as a “racist party” at an East Avenue residence on July 7,
2022 and that he would make these allegations public if the Town proceeds with the hiring of Mr.
Peters. The Town believed that Attorney McMurray’s allegations should be thoroughly
investigated and considered as part of the appointment process. The Town also believes that
publicizing untrue allegations could lead to liability for the Town. A background check of Mr.
Peters is being conducted; the official background investigation has not yet been delivered to the
Town. When asked for any evidence supporting the allegations was available, Attorney
McMurray refused to provide any proof, saying at one point that it is not his duty to do so. The
Board was updated about the hiring process and Attorney McMurray’s allegations. Mr. Peters
came to the Town offices to speak with any Board member who had questions. Attorney Dorritie
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING JANUARY 17, 2023 13
stated that Mr. Peters has denied the allegations in a publicly-available statement signed under
oath. He stated that he and his wife were not in attendance at the party, were not invited to the
party, and have no connection to the party. He further stated that neither he nor his wife know the
hosts of the party or have any connection to the hosts of the party. Attorney Dorritie stated that
the Board is considering conditionally appointing Mr. Peters as Chief of Police, following
successful completion of the official background investigation, which investigation should
address Attorney McMurray’s allegations. This explanation is being provided because Attorney
McMurray took to Twitter to publicize his allegations against Mr. Peters despite refusing to
provide proof of his allegations. The Board hopes that any public comment concerning Mr.
Peters’ appointment will be respectful and not based on rumors and conjecture. If there is
evidence that the allegations are true, please provide that information to the Town.
PUBLIC INPUT:
Taylor Dalton, 47 Astor Drive, addressed the Board members concerning regulations for short-
term rentals and he is making his rounds to several towns. He is a short-term rental owner,
manager and operator for the past four years. He doesn’t currently have any rentals in
Irondequoit but would like to investigate that possibility. Mr. Dalton feels there is a negative
feeling about short-term rentals are a place for parties and giant gatherings. This is not true for
most cases. Many renters just want to have a place to come home to and he has partnered with
businesses looking for homes to rent until they get settled in their jobs. He believes that these
rentals can build the economy and global interest. Mr. Dalton noted that his rental limit is
typically 2 to 3 night minimum and up to a 5-night minimum in the summer.
Dave Nicchitta, 57 Greenhaven Road, is a 24-year resident of Irondequoit. He has been in law
enforcement for 20 years. He stated that the Selection Committee made a great choice in
selecting Scott Peters for the Chief of Police position. He has known Scott Peters for 50 years
and has worked with him professionally. Mr. Peters is fair, honest, loyal, and hard working. His
reputation is beyond reproach. Mr. Nicchitta noted that some people want to tarnish Mr. Peter’s
reputation with false allegations and lies which have been seen on social media, but there is a
silent majority who support the men in blue.
FINANCIAL REPORT: Comptroller Diana Marsh noted that the 2022 financial records will
not close until the end of February to allow for receipt and processing of outstanding
commitments and to account for and properly record the remaining revenue that is owed the
Town. The Comptroller will present the most current 2022 preliminary results, along with the
respective 2023 monthly financial reports, at the February and March Town Board meetings. The
Town’s auditors from the Bonadio Group will present highlights of the audited 2022 Financial
Statements and Audit Report following the annual audit.
Comptroller Marsh reviewed the preliminary financial results for the Town as of December 31,
2022: Total expenses and encumbrances: 100% of the year has elapsed and the Town’s total
expenses are on par at 100.2%--a sum of $39,634,000. Encumbrances are $1,600,000 and actual
expenses total $38,023,000. The actual expenses alone equate to 96.2% of budget.
Encumbrances remain for services, supplies and commodities committed to in 2022. The
General Fund Expenses are at 100.5% or $24,902,000. The actual expenditures are 95.5% of
budget or $23,657,000, while 5% is due to encumbrances of $1,245,000. Included in the General
Fund encumbrances are police vehicles, services related to the school safety grant, legal fees and
contracted services for the columbarium construction. Overall, expenses in the Highway funds
are 108.3% of budget, a total of approximately $6,138,000. The costs in these funds result from
considerable expenses and encumbrances for salt, gas and paving as anticipated. The excess
expenditures result from additional paving costs which will be reimbursed with a rollover of
CHIPs funding. The Library expenses are favorable at $2,647,000 or 94.9% of budget. The
Sewer Fund has expended $3,860,000 or 94.8% which is below budget. Actual expenditures are
$3,778,000 (92.8%) and encumbrances remain at $83,000. Stormwater Drainage expenses total
$870,000 or 94.2% of budget. Regarding the entire Town, revenue and appropriated fund
balance, $36.259,000 or 93.4% has been documented to date. The General Fund Revenue
recorded $22,081,000 or 91.3% of budget. Real Estate Tax of $11,798,000, 100% of that budget
line has been collected. The Town has recorded 8 months of Sales Tax totaling $4,604,000 or
80.8% of budget. 94.4% of mortgage tax, or $925,000, representing three quarters of activity, has
been received. The NYS Aid & Incentives to Municipalities payment has been received in an
amount of $613,000. Other sources of revenue include 6 months of Franchise Fees, 4 months of
Sales and Mortgage Taxes. At month-end, the Library confirmed revenue of $2,795,000 or
100.2%; 95.3% or $5,390,000 of revenue has been recorded by the Highway; 100.1% of the
Sewer Fund revenue of $3,997,000 has been verified. Stormwater Drainage has received 97.8%
or $857,000 of its budgeted revenue. Additionally, the American Rescue Funds of $22,454,916
have been received. The use of this funding is restricted for the response to and relief of COVID-

APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
On a motion made by Councilmember Romeo, seconded by Councilmember Wehner,
the November 15, 2022 Regular Town Board minutes were approved.
Councilmember Freeman commented that on page 207, in the October 25, 2022 Approval of
Minutes, she was listed as Absent. She was listed as Absent; she was not Absent but Abstained.
There was discussion on when a Councilmember can Abstain or not Abstain. Attorney Megan
Dorritie explained that to Abstain is used only if there is a financial conflict and that is in the
Town Code. She added that some Board members do not want the connotation of a Nay vote.
Attorney Dorritie stated it would be correct to have both Abstain/Nay for the vote. She explained
that the Abstain vote is an accurate recording of what happened; the Nay vote is an accurate
recording of the vote. Under NYS Ethics Law, Abstention means that there is a financial conflict
that prevents you from participating in a vote. Attorney Dorritie stated that Abstain/Nay would
be technically correct. Town Clerk Genier will amend Councilmember Freeman’s October 25,
2022 Approval of Minutes vote from Absent to Abstain/Nay and also her Nay vote on Resolution
No. 2022-315, dated November 15, 2022, regarding attendance to the Defensive Edge Courses at

Thank you, Pam. It makes way more sense now. One further question though. I will only be acting chief for about a
month or so until the new one is installed. Do we do this twice or should we wait for the new Chief to sign? I'm not sure
how this needs to play out. If I need to do it now and the next one does it in January, we will. Just confirming that that is
what needs to happen.
