The Ontario Town Board is scheduled to conduct three public hearings and take up a slate of resolutions and agreements when it meets tonight at Town Hall.
The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. and will be led by Town Supervisor Ben Aman, according to the published agenda.
A central focus of the meeting will be public hearings on three proposed local laws carried over from 2025. The board will open hearings on Proposed Local Law No. 5 of 2025, which amends Chapter 114 of the Town Code related to sewer use; Proposed Local Law No. 6 of 2025, which repeals Chapter A154 of the Town Code; and Proposed Local Law No. 7 of 2025, which establishes a new Chapter 151 governing subdivision and development of land.
Following the hearings, the board is scheduled to consider resolutions declaring itself lead agency under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and adopting negative declarations of environmental significance for each of the three proposed local laws. Additional motions would formally adopt the measures and assign them as Local Laws Nos. 1, 2 and 3 of 2026, respectively.
In other new business, the board is expected to consider an annual agreement with LaBella for grant administration services and a resolution authorizing an application for Round 2 of the Municipal Parks and Recreation Grant Program. The agenda also includes a motion related to removing certain employees from Paychex as of Dec. 21, 2025.
Board members are also scheduled to vote on designating Supervisor Ben Aman as the town’s voting delegate to the Association of Towns Annual Conference, to be held Feb. 15–17 in New York City. Additional items include approval of a 2026 agreement with NFP Telecom, the return of a $10,000 sidewalk snow removal performance bond to AP Property Services, and actions related to Town Policy 800 on employee benefits, including acceptance of a second reading and adoption of updated changes.
The meeting agenda also provides for approval of minutes from the Dec. 22 regular meeting and the Jan. 5 organizational meeting, departmental reports, budget adjustments, appointments or resignations, workshop items, public comment, approval of claims, board member comments, and a possible executive session.
The next regular Town Board meeting is scheduled for Jan. 26, according to the agenda.
