4.0 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR(LIMIT—4 MINUTES)
LISA ADAMSON,LAKE PARKWAY, QUEENSBURY
• Congratulated Board members on their election to the Town Board noted she is looking forward to
working with the Board.
• Thanked Supervisor Strough and Councilman Metivier for their herein and here out ongoing activity
to grass root groups and commitment on behalf of the Town in their work regarding water quality
and for all they continuously try to implement. Also acknowledged Supervisor Strough regarding his
implementation in the area of sustainable energy for our Town.
• Spoke to the Board regarding the many departments in the Town noting there is not one category for
water quality and land use issues or anything specific regarding sustainable energy issues. Would
like to see the Town create an Environmental Department Office, which would be noted on the
website; an area opened to the public, which would include both your water quality work and your
sustainable energy efforts. Hopefully it would be in this department that the Town of Queensbury
could initiate and complete a timetable for a projected schedule for emission draw down such that
our Town could declare itself to be fossil free for a hundred percent clean renewable energy by a
certain date.Understands this will take time. Would love some follow-up when you have a chance.
TRAVIS WHITEHEAD
• Agreed with Ms. Adamson's statement.
• Spoke to the Board regarding the Transfer Law.
• Asked the Board if they have any questions for him. Noted he would rather have a conversation
rather than have someone go into the later section of the meeting when he is unable to respond.
