Section-9.19-East-Aurora-V-080621 Section 9.19: Village of East Aurora 9.19 Village of East Aurora This section presents the jurisdictional annex for the Village of East Aurora. It includes resources and information to assist public and private sectors to reduce losses from future hazard events. This annex is not guidance of what to do when a disaster occurs. Rather, this annex concentrates on actions that can be implemented prior to a disaster to reduce or eliminate damage to property and people. This annex includes a general overview of the municipality and who in the village participated in the planning process; an assessment of the Village of East Aurora’s risk and vulnerability; the different capabilities utilized in the village; and an action plan that will be implemented to achieve a more resilient community. 9.19.1 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team The following individuals have been identified as the Village of East Aurora’s hazard mitigation plan primary and alternate points of contact. The Village of East Aurora followed the planning process described in Section 3 (Planning Process) in Volume I of this plan update. This annex was developed over the course of several months with input from many Village departments, including: Clerk and Highway Department. The Village Administrator represented the community on the Erie County Hazard Mitigation Plan Planning Partnership and supported the local planning process requirements by securing input from persons with specific knowledge to enhance the plan. All departments were asked to contribute to the annex development through reviewing and contributing to the capability assessment, reporting on the status of previously identified actions, and participating in action identification and prioritization. The following table summarizes municipal officials that participated in the development of the annex and in what capacity. Additional documentation on the municipality’s planning process through Planning Partnership meetings is included in Section 3 (Planning Process) and Appendix C (Meeting Documentation). Table 9.19-1.

Public Works Address: 585 Oakwood Avenue, East Aurora NY Address: 585 Oakwood Avenue, East Aurora NY Phone Number: 7166526000 Phone Number: 7166526000 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] NFIP Floodplain Administrator Name/Title: Bill Kramer, Floodplain Administrator Address: 585 Oakwood Avenue, East Aurora NY Phone Number: 7166526057 Email: [email protected] 9.19.2 Municipal Profile The Village of East Aurora is located 25 miles from downtown Buffalo and is entirely contained within the Town of Aurora. The Buffalo Creek runs through the village. The village is 2.5 square miles in size. East Aurora was first settled by whites in 1804 and incorporated as a village in 1874. The village became home to U.S. President Millard Fillmore, the nation's 13th president, who built the Millard Fillmore House while a country lawyer. The village is the birthplace of the Roycroft Arts & Crafts movement and home to Fisher-Price Toys. During the late 1800's and early 1900's, East Aurora was a very popular place for horse races in New York State. The most famous track in East Aurora, the Jewett Farm track was an innovative, one-of-a-kind track at that time. (Town of Aurora/ Village of East Aurora 2012) Hazard Mitigation Plan - Erie County, New York 9.19-1 MONTH 2021 Section 9.19: Village of East Aurora According to the U.S. Census, the 2010 population for the Village of East Aurora was 6,236. The estimated 2019 population was 6,184, a nearly zero percent change from the 2010 Census. Data from the 2019 U.S. Census American Community Survey indicate that 4.0 percent of the population is 5 years of age or younger and 23.4 percent is 65 years of age or older. Communities must deploy a support system that enables all populations to safely reach shelters or to quickly evacuate a hazard area. 9.19.3 Jurisdictional Capability Assessment and Integration The Village of East Aurora performed an inventory and analysis of existing capabilities, plans, programs, and policies that enhance its ability to implement mitigation strategies. Section 6.4 (Capability Assessment) describes the components included in the capability assessment and their significance for hazard mitigation planning. This section summarizes the following findings of the assessment: . An assessment of legal and regulatory capabilities. Development and permitting capabilities. An assessment of administrative and technical capabilities . An assessment of fiscal capabilities. An assessment of education and outreach capabilities. Classification under various community mitigation programs. The community’s adaptive capacity to withstand hazard events. For a community to succeed in reducing long-term risk, hazard mitigation must be integrated into the day-to- day local government operations. As part of this planning effort, planning/policy documents were reviewed, and each jurisdiction was surveyed to obtain a better understanding of their progress in plan integration. Areas with current mitigation integration are summarized in this Jurisdictional Capability Assessment (Section 9.19.3). The Village of East Aurora’s identified opportunities for integration of mitigation concepts to be incorporated into municipal procedures are included in the updated mitigation strategy. Planning, Legal, and Regulatory Capability and Integration The table below summarizes the regulatory tools that are available to the Village of East Aurora. The comment field provides information as to where hazard mitigation has been integrated. Table 9.19-2.

  • Village of East Aurora Minutes of Regular Board Meeting Held
    ... ¢. Village of East Aurora Minutes of Regular Board Meeting held January 7, 1980 Roll Call: Present - Mayor Nicoloff, Trustees Pagliaccio, Marshall, Eyres, Norberg and Hamilton Absent - None Comments from the Floor Mr; William Waffner of 1248 Carriage Drive stated he had recently moved to East Aurora from grand Island and was surprised at how much higher the rates were in East Aurora for water than they were in Grand Island and several other communities. Trustee Eyres in answer to Mr. Waffner's question as to whether the cost of Village of East Aurora water was out of line, stated he normally made it a practice not to answer a question of that nature unless he had the opportunity to first work with and investigate the. figures involved. Trustee Eyres said however, that rates may vary for many reasons. Water rates are set not to make a profi_ but to break even. East Aurora has a large debt service due to extensive renovations to the system about ten years ago, and if this were spread over a •larger base (like Grand Island) the rates could be lower. Trustee Eyres told Mr. Waffner he would be happy to check into this and provide him with a more definite answer. There being no one else wishing to speak on any non-agenda item Mayor Nicoloff moved to the first item on the agenda. Appointment of Election Inspectors A motion was made by Trustee Norberg, seconded by Trustee Hamilton and unanimously carried that the following appoint- ments be made. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION: Florence Burnett, Chairman; Nancy Czerminski, Marjorie Crocoll, Justina Semenza POLL CLERKS: Laura Howes, Catherine Smallback ALTERNATE : Linda Maclver Trustee Norberg moved that the rate of compensation for the Election Inspectors be set at $30,00 per day.

    New exhibits were unveiled as part of the re-opening of the Aurora History Museum in May 2013, following the relocation of Town Hall the previous fall. Among the new exhibits are “The Greatest Mothers of World War I,” which chronicles the efforts of the East Aurora chapter of the American Red Cross; and “Taking Shape,” a photo history of The Circle. Above: The West End of Main Street is shown about 110 years ago, when “The Circle” was a series of ovals. McDonald’s now occupies the site of the West End Hotel. The building on the left still stands, and the old tower from the fire hall building (now Willink Financial) can be seen at the far left of the photograph. Left: Francis A. Little was an American Red Cross worker in East Aurora during World War I. She died from complications of the flu in 1918. Annual Report of the Historian 2013 Town of Aurora and Village of East Aurora, New York Robert Lowell Goller Historian Aurora Town Historian 2013 Annual Report 1 The Town Historian also serves as director of the Aurora Historical Society. While the positions of Town Historian and Historical Society Director are separate and unique, both the Town Historian’s Office and Historical Society have simi- lar missions. In fact, the town and village’s main purpose in appointing Historian Robert S. Persons in 1950 was to es- tablish the Historical Society in order to preserve artifacts and operate museums. While the missions of both positions sometimes overlap, the hours during the workweek are separate.

While the positions are separate and unique, both the Town Historian’s Office and the Historical Society have similar missions. In short, the Historical Society generally maintains the community’s museums and artifacts; the Town Historian’s Office maintains paper records, photographs and other related archives and operates the Town Archives in order to make these files acces- sible to the public. Part of the missions of both the Historical Society and the Town Historian is to promote the history of the Town of Aurora and Village of East Aurora. While the missions of both positions—Historian and Historical Society director—sometimes overlap, the hours during the workweek are separate. Generally, office hours for the Town Histori- an have continued to be on Fridays, when I work on filing, email and requests for information, as well as assist visitors to the office.
