Town Board: Work Session -- 07.22.2026

The Town of Penfield held a work session on July 22, 2026, covering a broad range of municipal topics including department updates, personnel hiring, and ongoing capital projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a janitorial services contract for the Clarke House and updates on several construction projects such as the Alpheus Clark House renovation, which came in under budget by over $175,000, and LaSalle's Landing bathroom improvements. The board also addressed operational challenges at the Gloria Drive brush drop-off site, ultimately passing a resolution to restrict contractor use to preserve service for residents. Signage changes for Canandaigua National Bank were approved, allowing relocation of an existing sign to improve visibility. The board discussed the active transportation plan and upcoming bond proposals for major town facility renovations, emphasizing the need for public engagement and transparent communication about costs. Additionally, zoning code updates and accessory dwelling unit considerations were introduced as informational items to clarify development standards and support affordable housing initiatives. A special legislative meeting was proposed to consider placing the bond vote on the November ballot, with bond counsel involvement anticipated to address technical questions.
