MAYVILLE Webb’s Captain’s Table in Mayville was recently recognized for demonstrating exemplary customer service and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This restaurant was recognized during the Chautauqua County Legislature’s Dec. 16 meeting for its proactive efforts to adhere to social distancing, face covering and cleaning requirements to keep its customers safe.
The business received a certificate of recognition from Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel and Legislature Chairman Pierre Chagnon.
“Webb’s Captain’s Table was selected for its outstanding customer service and dedication to making its customers’ safety a top priority,” said Andrew Nixon, president and CEO of the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau. “It is wonderful to see this restaurant continuing to provide a safe dining in and takeout experience for customers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Chautauqua County Sheriff James Quattrone.
On Wednesday, the Chautauqua County Legislature was expected to vote on a motion supporting Sheriff James Quattrone saying the state’s executive order limiting non-essential private gatherings is unenforceable.
At the last minute, the legislature didn’t vote on on the measure. The pulling of the motion was at the request of the sheriff.
The motion had been introduced by county legislator Terry Niebel. He wanted the full legislature say that Gov. Andrew Cuomo should reconsider his 10-permit limit for non-essential private gatherings, adding that Quattrone has called the executive order “unenforceable.” At the start of the meeting, it was announced Niebel had pulled the motion, so no discussion took place among county lawmakers.

Chautauqua County legislators will be asked Wednesday to support Sheriff James Quattrone’s opposition to the enforcement of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 10-person limit on private gatherings in homes.
Legislator Terry Niebel, R-Sheridan, has introduced a motion for Wednesday’s legislature meeting.
Prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, Quattrone said he believes enforcing Cuomo’s limit on private residential gatherings to 10 people or fewer is largely unenforceable.
“I do believe the only thing we are able to do is ask people to comply with the order,” Quattrone said in late November. “Ironically, the governor is contradicting what he has recently had published on law enforcement reform (that) law enforcement should not be handling non-criminal calls.”

The Luscombe Aircraft Corp. is asking the Chautauqua County Legislature for a break on its rent for Hangar A at the Chautauqua County Airport in Jamestown.
The legislature needs to approve that request.
Luscombe’s existing lease with the county is $1,850 rent with a monthly rent credit of up to $500 a month for capital improvements, which means the company would be paying $1,350 a month. That credit is not to exceed $48,000. The company hasn’t been able to secure enough loan funding, though, to pay for the utility and building improvements necessary to renovate the county’s airport hangar into the type of space Luscombe needs. The company is asking the county to receive rent credits of up to $1,000 a month to help pay the capital improvement costs, taking the monthly rent payment to $850 a month. The maximum credit amount is still $48,000.
