BEST Service Contract 2015 - 2018 & Oven Repair Estimate

We respectfully request authorization for the Supervisor to sign the Service Contract between the Town of Amherst (Senior Services Dept.) and Buffalo's Expert Service Technicians (BEST), Inc., for the years 2015 - 2018, pending successful completion/approval of the Contract Review Process.

The Contract does not include annual increases in service rates or service charges; only for manufacturers' published prices for parts.

We also request permission to repair our convection oven, and obtained an estimate during the time of our Town Board-approved 2014 contract relationship. (Attempts were made to obtain additional estimates, but we found that this type of kitchen service repair work is almost exclusive/proprietary to BEST, Inc. Further, we confirmed that BEST will honor their estimate despite the lapse of 30 days.)

Thank you.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Contract to be charged to Account A6772 4220: $78. per hour; one-time $49 service charge; additional cost for parts.

Oven Repair costs to be charged to the General Fund Contingency Account: $1,322.07.

Re: Travel to USA Hockey Annual Congress

The USA Hockey Annual Congress will be held in Colorado Springs, CO from June 3- 7, 2015. This is an annual meeting for 500 of the top volunteers and employees of USA Hockey. I am requesting travel to allow the ice center management staff to meet with representatives of the disabled hockey and youth hockey sections to promote the Northtown Center and to explore bringing additional tournaments to the facility. Our ability to speak with USA Hockey representatives and promote the Northtown Center has landed us several national tournaments in the past.

The funding will be reimbursed by Coca-Cola through its pouring rights commitment which provides for a $2.00 per case rebate or an estimated $5,900.00 for promotion of ice events.

I am requesting approval for Eric Guzdek and Brad Waltz to attend at a cost not to exceed $2,545.00, including contingency.

Thank you for your consideration and please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or need additional information.

Conover 60 Meyer Road Amherst, New York 14226 To; Commissioner of Building Mr. Tomas Ketchum 5583 Main Street Williamsville, New York 14221 Re; 80 Meyer Road Senior Housing; Request that this email be made a permanent record on file the Amherst Town Clerks office and file folder for 70-74-80 Meyer Road (now known as 80 Meyer Road) Mr. Tomas Ketchum; I have much respect for you and your job of which I know would not be easy for any 2 or 3 person(s) to do. But you do your job very well with all that happens in town Good and Bad. Your department(s) staff are also as well not much appreciated I feel by others out side of Town hall and so little is known as to how much they have to go through as I have learned. At tonight's Planning Board meeting (it has been brought to my attention) that amendment to local law ZTA-2015-01 Change of side walk width is to change from 5 feet down to 4 feet. It has been also brought to my attention that this may be to accommodate the local project at 80 Meyer Road to benefit local contractor / developer to any one or more of the following parcels and or addresses 1459 Niagara Falls Blvd,1551 Niagara falls Blvd, 6000, 6020, 6040 Bailey Ave or others. If any part or portion of this is true please inform me in letter form on Town Of Amherst Letterhead what is true and what is false mailed to my home address. What has been described to me is that the change would make way for a connector street or Road between Meyer Road and a paper street possible known as one of the following Romney, Romney Street, Romney Avenue, Romney Drive as that being a paper street running between 1459 Niagara Falls Blvd and 1551 Niagara Falls Blvd running in a east west direction between Nia. Falls Blvd and Bailey Ave. This new street would it run parallel between myself and the 30 foot no build zone next to me and 80 Meyer Road. Lot size of 80 Meyer rd. 100 x 686 ft. approx. Mr. Sean Hopkins had commented the 50 Foot no build zone at north end of property was not needed during a meeting awhile back. Is this why? This is a condition(s) 50 and 30 foot no build zones that the Amherst Town board voted on and approved and agreed to keep in place. 30 ft from 100 leave 70 ft wide enough for new law possible helping Developer. Is this because as being told recently my land was too expansive, while back being told Savaino did not respond, someone kept me from selling and my father telling me they never wanted my land. So what story should I believe. In 2012 Miss. Paula Chomko the exec tress to estate to 80 Meyer Road had informed me that Mr. Savarino wanted the land for a driveway to the rear portion of Flanigans for trucks going to loading dock and I would have a 100 foot barrier between myself and it would be nicely

landscaped this being said at the same time land would be used for Senior Housing. 2 different uses for land. Mr Savarino also noted that the large parcel behind 60-74-80 Meyer Rd owned be Flanigans was not able to be bought, they would not sell. Mr. Tomas Wilcox 70 Meyer Road told me that Mr. Savarino wanted to change the wording and contents or terms of contract, Mr Wilcox refused and I believe Mr. Savarino to purchase, Mrs Candice Wilcox told me that the land next to them would be used for a project only on 80 Meyer Road. She also informed me of more than one building leading to more than 80 -90 units to be built. Would this be the cause of rebuilding left station by same. Is that to be a street or road that I have been told about. Curb cut is at 80 Meyer Road Now the work has be gone but that are only scrapping land that is 100 feet wide by approximately 350 - 400 foot area known as the old 80 Meyer Road and no other (East side of project land). I was informed that the clearing is for the building of the garages for storage while they build the main building. Why would you need that large of land cleared just for garages and that would not include the building layout. It has been my idea all along that there would be a need to have road going from Meyer Road to 1551 Niagara Falls Blvd. and not that being of Housing. As being told comments by my neighbors now moved and those currently living on Meyer Road, Those in the Construction industry and Design, Architects, Construction Development, Local industry and those at my Employment (work), and my own attorney saying that (1st) they are building around me and then changed to Building next to me. In 2012 I was told that my land was worth $1,200,000 by someone in the construction industry and had mentioned about Benderson Development and 60,000 sq. feet of vacant warehouse space. While a short time later that 1551 and 1459 Niagara Falls Blvd had out lived the life span and would be better torn down and build as new by someone in the construction field. Mr. Guy Marlette Town of Amherst Deputy Supervisor had told me to meet with Sean Hopkins and my Attorney to get as much of a barrier between myself and the project they did not want to meet. WHY?. Is Barrier needed from road, from housing, from commercial Plaza. Mr. Barry Weinstein and meetings with Frank P. regarding the sale of Meyer road and as told by Frank P. possible sale of his home on Sweet Home next door to the school within a few years, was Mr. Weinstein personally involved in getting this transaction done. I was told it was a personal matter and did not concern me, I believe it would if it effects my land value and way of life. It has also been brought to my attention by Town Employees that RAS Development has the contract for the lift station on Meyer Road in front of my home to start in April and new piping from station to Niagara Falls Blvd. A place had been put in at the time of the planning for Prime Wines on Maple Rd. in 2011. I had been told by a few persons of project maybe taking 7-8 yrs, 3 buildings and more, is all of this tied together? Does Benderson plan on building a new plaza or development other than Housing using all or a portion of land from Niagara falls Blvd and Bailey Ave and Meyer Rd to 1551 Niagara falls Blvd? The Amherst IDA have been involved with getting tax breaks for 70-74-80 Meyer Road what is the true nature of the use for the land? Do you see why there are so many not trusting in what the Town is doing. I am told about what includes the possible land for sale near Millersport, Smith Road, New Roads for new Student Housing for SUNY Amherst Campus that I am told the town now owns, just bought 2013-2014 to resell. Is this true as well or is it false?

Then is there a chemical waste dump on town property at the far South West corner near the communications tower off New Road is this true? Viewable from satellite or plane photos on Internet. At no time do I imply or suggest any wrong doing I am simply trying to get a true factual picture of the events near me as of current and future. Respectfully Submitted Brian D. Conover
