The board conducted a public hearing regarding the Incentive Zoning application for the Ontario View Townhomes. New business included referring the townhome project to the Planning Board, authorizing public bidding for the Bear Creek Harbor East Park improvements, and entering into an agreement for professional services related to that project. The board also rescinded a previous resolution regarding the Casey Park Reserve Fund, authorized a mowing services agreement with the Ontario Fire District, updated the town's procurement policy, and handled various personnel updates including hiring and appointments. Additionally, a presentation on a town-wide revaluation plan was delivered, and public comments addressed issues including sidewalk clearing, the Business Improvement District, and cemetery maintenance.

The board reviewed two public hearings. The first concerned a preliminary and final site plan for a single-family residence on Ridge Road, where the applicant agreed to remove proposed floor drains to comply with drainage requirements. The second hearing involved a special use permit application for vehicle dismantling at Furnace Road; the board discussed operation plans, storage limits for vehicles, and site conditions, eventually granting the permit.

The meeting included several key actions, such as the approval of multiple Letter of Credit estimates and releases for various local developments. The Board officially established the Casey Park Reserve Fund and designated the Humane Society of Wayne County as the official town animal shelter. Additionally, the Board handled personnel matters, including the hiring of a seasonal laborer and the acceptance of a highway crew chief's resignation. A presentation regarding a proposed townhome re-zoning request at 2152 Ridge Road was held, resulting in the scheduling of a future public hearing. The meeting also included an executive session for pending litigation and the approval of abstract of claims for payments.

The meeting included public hearings for two site plan applications. The Board approved a preliminary and final site plan for a single-family home at 940 Ridge Road after discussing floor drain installations. Additionally, the Board reviewed and approved an unlisted SEQR resolution and a Special Use Permit for a vehicle dismantling business at 6383 Furnace Road, focusing on operational plans, storage limitations, and compliance measures.

The meeting included a public hearing for the Benbrook Estates Phase 2 and 3 final subdivision and site plan, which received approval. The board also conducted an informal discussion regarding the Mannetti Subdivision concept plan on Knickerbocker Road. Key topics discussed included site drainage, the integration of rain gardens, lot sizes, proposed housing density, road infrastructure, sidewalk additions, lighting requirements, and concerns regarding potential impacts on neighboring properties and environmental factors.
