The Planning Board held a Public Hearing to consider an application from Costich Engineering, representing Key Bank, for Preliminary / Final Site Plan Approval for the proposed construction of a +/- 3,500 square foot freestanding building on East Ridge Road in the RRPDD district. The building proposal includes a drive-thru auto teller lane and a 24-hour drive-through ATM. The Board granted Preliminary / Final Site Plan Approval contingent upon addressing comments from Labella, submitting signage under a separate application, providing a landscaping maintenance plan upon building permit submission, and addressing all comments from Monroe County Planning & Development.

The agenda for this meeting included several items for Board action spanning multiple departments. Key actions involved authorizing resolutions for the appointment of a Town Board Member and an Office Clerk II. Financial matters included authorizing the use of fund balance for public works equipment replacement and authorizing the Supervisor to enter into an agreement for legal services following an RFP process where proposals were received and reviewed. The Board also planned to call a Public Hearing regarding Irondequoit's Community Development Block Grant Program and another Public Hearing regarding a proposed Local Law for a Property Tax Exemption for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty. Other resolutions included authorizing a contract for Municipal Code & Compliance Management Software with Online Solutions, LLC (Citizenserve) using ARPA funds, authorizing salary increases for increased Human Resources duties, approving a Special Event License for a St Patrick's Day Festival, and authorizing police department staff attendance at training events and reimbursement to the Livingston County Sheriff's Office.

The Regular Town Board Meeting agenda included several key items for action. These included authorizing appointments for a Town Board Member and an Office Clerk II. Further resolutions authorized scheduling a Public Hearing regarding Irondequoit's Community Development Block Grant Program, authorizing the use of fund balance for public works equipment replacement (a vinyl cutter, riding mower, and floor sweeper), and authorizing the Supervisor to enter into an agreement for legal services following a Request for Proposals process. Other actions involved police matters, such as authorizing attendance at a training course and accepting a monetary gift for the K9 Unit, approving stop signs on Pardee Road, authorizing contracts for the 2026 Winterfest Celebration, and approving special event licenses.

The primary focus of the workshop meeting was the review of agenda items for the subsequent Regular Town Board Meeting scheduled for February 17, 2026. The Board also addressed an item for action, which was a resolution authorizing the Supervisor to amend and enter into various contracts with vendors for youth, family, adult, group exercise, and senior recreational programming for the year 2026. This resolution effectively replaced the previous Addendum "A" from Resolution 2025-229 with an updated Addendum "B", incorporating changes such as the addition of new instructors like Jesse Bronson and James Reaves for specific classes.

The meeting included several public hearings concerning proposed local law amendments related to Parcel Combination, the Historic Preservation Law, the Procurement Policy, and the imposition of a temporary moratorium on small cell wireless telecommunications facilities. Key actions taken by the Board included authorizing several appointments (Board of Assessment Review member, Cleaner, Senior Motor Equipment Operator, and Labor Foreman), adjusting the mileage reimbursement rate for 2026, authorizing stop signs on Pardee Road, accepting a monetary gift for the K9 Unit, and approving contracts for the 2026 Winterfest Celebration and a Cornhole Tournament with the West Irondequoit Foundation. The Board also adopted resolutions enacting the proposed local laws regarding parcel combination amendments, historic preservation amendments, procurement policy amendments, the moratorium on small cell site applications.
