Council Member Donates $300 to Brighton Community Bike Ride
The Town Board accepted a donation of $300 from Council member Nate Salsman to support the second 2026 Brighton community bike ride.

Laughter and lighthearted discussion about bike safety (helmets) ensued.
Town Board Authorizes Grant Application for Climate Action to Support Tree Programs
The Town Board discussed and approved the authorization to apply for the Monroe County Community Climate Action Fund pilot program grant. This grant will support the town's tree nursery and tree ambassador programs. The town has already submitted an application, and the grant can fund up to 50% of the $13,000 budget for these programs. The board's action confirms their support for these environmental initiatives, which aim to enhance the town's tree canopy. The tree ambassador program is currently self-funded by a volunteer.
Updates on Park Maintenance, Recreation, and Upcoming Community Events
The Town Board received updates on various park and recreation activities. Staff are managing park maintenance amidst weather and demand, with a decrease expected as school ends. The recreation department is settling into its new space. Upcoming events include the Council Member on Your Corner returning July 19th, the July 4th community celebration with a popular 5K race, and summer bands at Buckland starting July 7th. Community bike rides are scheduled for July 10th and July 19th, the latter including a bike rodeo organized by the Brighton Police. Highland Crossing Trail signage is reported to be installed. There's also preliminary discussion about hosting a Harvest Moon Festival in September.

The Town Board approved the agenda for the meeting and received and filed several communications. These included correspondence from Monroe County regarding the Community Development Block Grant program, a reaffirmation of Brighton's pro-housing community status, a thank you from the county office of emergency management to the police department, and a communication encouraging prioritization of youth safety. The board also received committee reports from Community Services, Finance and Administrative Services, Public Safety, and Public Works, with updates on events, finances, and upcoming meetings.
