(WHAM) — The Seneca Falls Town Board voted Tuesday to approve a controversial expansion of Seneca Meadows
the largest active landfill in New York state
allowing it to continue operations for another 15 years
sparked frustration among many community members
which was set to permanently shut down at the end of this year
has been a contentious issue in the community
The board voted 3-2 in favor of issuing a local operating permit and 4-1 to approve a host community agreement for the landfill
"That is a pile of stuff that is basically destroying the future of this town," he said
a student at Hobart and William Smith Colleges
"The fact that this Town Board has just approved to continue that cycle is just pretty awful," she said
While some community members agree with the board's decision
others argue it prioritizes revenue over health concerns
"The thing that splits it is the money that the dump injects into the community," said Steve Churchill
"But as long as that money keeps flowing
it's the only way they buy influence in this town
we're going to get four to five times compensation
"If there's going to be trash put in our community
there are regulations that go along with the permit."
The future of the landfill's potential extension and expansion now rests with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

— The Seneca Falls town supervisor says that a vote on the future of the Seneca Meadows Landfill is valid
despite a local advocacy group saying that the vote was deemed invalid
The Seneca Falls Town Board voted on Tuesday night in favor of granting an operating permit to expand the state’s largest landfill
That’s despite some community members expressing health concerns over the landfill
The Seneca Lake Guardian said officials have found a “procedural oversight” that invalidates the vote
Town Supervisor Frank Schmitter said on Thursday that he has consulted with the town’s attorneys and determined that the vote is valid
“While it was a busy meeting with many members of the public present to address the board and a Public Address system that did not always cooperate
I do not recall if particular items on the agenda were seconded by a board member or not
But if any item before the board was not seconded by another board member
it would not affect the validity of board action on that item in any way.”
Schmitter also addressed the possible procedural oversight
the town board failed to properly introduce or second resolutions about the landfill’s operating permit
Schmitter said there is no such requirement under state law
“Our Board generally follows Robert’s Rules of Order during our meetings
which states that the reason a second is usually required to prevent a group from considering motions that only one member supports
Once a vote is taken and a motion is adopted
the lack of a second has no impact.”
New York State Public Officer’s Law section 106(1) states that ‘Minutes shall be taken at all open meetings of a public body which shall consist of a record or summary of all motions
resolutions and any other matter formally voted upon and the vote thereon.’ The matters considered by the Town Board at the March 4 meeting were formally voted upon and are valid
And they will appear in the minutes of that Town Board meeting.”
The vote to approve the permit has sparked outrage among community members
“Like many community members we were disgusted
Bonetti remains skeptical about any changes to the decision
“I don’t see a change in that vote whatsoever which is very sad,” she said
Residents have long opposed the landfill’s expansion
Bonetti highlighted the area’s high lung cancer rates
“Unfortunately the area of the landfill has the highest rate of lung cancer in New York state.”
the landfill’s management company requested an extension to operate until 2040 and expand the facility
Many neighbors have been fighting against this for years
“They stated time and time again of the health concerns
The environmental concerns but yet this town board does not listen,” Bonetti added
One resident cited personal habits as potential causes
The future of the landfill’s expansion remains uncertain as the community awaits further developments
We reached out to the members of the Seneca Town Board but haven’t heard back
The next town board meeting is set for April 1
