The Cheektowaga Town Board meeting held on August 15, 2025, focused on critical infrastructure issues, particularly concerning sanitary and storm sewer repairs. The board discussed two significant resolutions aimed at addressing these needs.

The first resolution, numbered 2025-564, proposed awarding a contract to CMH Company for sanitary sewer repairs. The contract, covering the period from August 18, 2025, to December 31, 2026, was set at a total bid price of $276,560. Supervisor Nowak emphasized the growing list of necessary repairs, stating that this contract would facilitate essential work in the town. The resolution passed without opposition.

The second resolution, 2025-565, also sponsored by Supervisor Nowak and seconded by Council Member Pulaski, sought to award a contract for storm sewer repairs to CMH Company for $28,492. This contract would similarly cover the same period and address specific areas in need of repair, including locations in Dote and Starlight. However, Council Member Pilebski expressed strong opposition, arguing that town employees should handle the repairs instead of outsourcing the work. He voiced concerns about the town's capability to manage these projects internally, citing feedback from multiple employees. Despite the dissent, the resolution was approved.

The meeting highlighted ongoing challenges in managing local infrastructure and the debate over outsourcing versus utilizing town resources. The board's decisions will impact the town's ability to address pressing sewer issues in the coming years.
