  • 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.

  • Annual Report of the Historian 2013
    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.
