1994-02-17 SPECIAL TOWN BOARD MEETING FEBRUARY 17, 1994 7:00 P.M. MTG.#ll RES. 91-93 TOWN BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT Supervisor Fred Champagne Councilman Betty Monahan Councilman R George Wiswall Councilman Nick Caimano Attorney Paul Dusek TOWN BOARD MEMBERS ABSENT Councilman Carol Pulver Supervisor Fred Champagne-Opened the Meeting. This is a one purpose meeting and the purpose being to have a public hearing on the proposed Economic Development Zone with us tonight is Martin Faircloth who will be talking to us about the proposed zone and Jim Martin will have a few words and any other who chose to join in on this particular subject are more than welcome. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED - NOTICE SHOWN - PROPOSED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ZONE Mr. Martin Faircloth-I guess I do not have a lot to add from the last workshop that you invited me to attend a couple of weeks ago. Just about all the pieces that are needed for this application are completed. What remains certainly is the enabling legislation for the Town of Queensbury is obviously critical piece of this application. I do not know, I guess if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them, that might be the best way to proceed. Councilman Caimano- In the newspaper of record for this Town there was an article, and in there that talked about the some nineteen successes through out the, nineteen communities throughout the State have been designated as economic development zones, I think that was right, nineteen? Mr. Faircloth-Right. Councilman Caimano-What are the successes, could you enumerate them? Could you tell us in terms of dollars and cents could you tell us in terms of companies that have been placed, expanded or whatever? Executive Director Martin- I do not know if there has been the same level of success in every community that has been designated. Councilman Caimano- Tell me the greatest success. Executive Director Martin-I would say the greatest success is the Spaulding Plant down in Gloversville, has been the greatest success. Councilman Caimano- Tell me, what is great about it. Executive Director Martin-I would think the size of the facility, I hear it is extensive, I do not know the exact amount of it. I think that is, I have heard in the promotions of this program that was done early on before the round was opened up that, that is the greatest employer that has been brought to any individual zone. Councilman Caimano-How many jobs? Executive Director Martin-I think it is in the neighborhood of two hundred and fifty jobs. Councilman Caimano-We do not know how large, but that, two hundred an fifty jobs. Executive Director Martin-And there, they are true manufacturing jobs, that type of thing. Councilman Caimano-Other than Spaulding, what else? How long has the economic, how long has the law been in effect, how long is New York State offered to make areas? Mr. Faircloth-It started around, I think, the first designation was 1986 or 87. Councilman Caimano-1986 and there has been nineteen successes to date. Executive Director Martin-Designations. Councilman Caimano-Nineteen designations since then. Executive Director Martin-They have had two rounds, one, the first round was ten designations, were made the second was nine. That is why we are at fifteen now we are combining what was in the legislation as a third and fourth round of eight and seven respectively. Councilman Monahan-So, Jim, what you are saying really that the nineteen designated was a maximum number that could have been designated within that time? Executive Director Martin-Right. Councilman Caimano- What, I guess I am still kind of hung up on successes. I guess, let me tell you where I am coming from. I certainly want to, I want to do everything I can to make sure that especially in the Town, the City of Glens Falls is helped any way, shape or form possible because I am a realist and I understand that beside the fact that it is our closest and largest neighboring community the success, the economic success of Glens Falls or failure of Glens Falls has a direct reflection and will be a direct reflection upon our Town so it is important that I as a Councilman support anything that will help the City of Glens Falls. However, having said that, I am also have a great concern about the alphabet soup that we have generated in this country which purports to help us and all of us especially in New York State and make for a better day tomorrow in terms of the economy. My concern is that you wind up spending millions on salaries on organizations on everything except what we are supposed to be spending them on, I want to see successes. It strikes me that if we took all the millions of dollars that we spend on groups that we put together in this State we would be better off dividing that up amongst all the people that want to work and just give it to them. We might be better ahead. I just want to make sure that this isn't, I want to make sure that we have some reasonable expectation that this is not another addition to the alphabet soup that we generate, A in this Country and B notoriously in this State. Executive Director Martin-Just as more of a clarification Nick, the City of Auburn is one, and I went to a briefing session in Albany in October or November 8th of last year that was when they were kicking off a round, they said they had nearly a thousand new jobs since being designated in 1988. Councilman Caimano-A thousand new jobs? Executive Director Martin-Right. Among various companies expanding or coming into the City. Councilman Caimano-All as a direct result of being Executive Director Martin-Placed within the zone. Councilman Caimano-Placed within the zone, right. Mr. Faircloth-In response to some of your comments Nick, and I certainly understand and agree with what you are saying. I, regard personally regard, this particular program is sort of as follows, we have an economy in Glens Falls, Queensbury, Warren, Washington Counties with a certain number of manufacturing firms in particular, times are very difficult particularly in the manufacturing sector. Ifwe can find ways to access resources that exist either at the Federal Level or the State Level and bring them into this community, network those resources with companies that is a positive thing. On its very basic level that is what this zone is all about. Councilman Caimano-We went to a breakfast several weeks ago with Warren, Washington County Economic Development Corp. your group put together, there were five such organizations, they have not done anything for Glens Falls, why is another one going to do it? They have not done anything, not a thing, Glens Falls has been known to be in an abyss economically for years there were five organizations that sat there and had a nice breakfast, not one of them have done anything, not only that, but when one gentlemen who has a company stood up and said, guys, I have been asking you for years to help me what are you going to do, none of you have helped me yet they all stood and said .... Mr. Faircloth-I hear you and again, I think that I certainly believe that we should receive a designation in this region and I think that we can put together and hopefully we have put together a first class application that will be successful and if that is the case then this State of New York can provide us with some additional tools that we do not have now to help business. That is essentially what this is, nothing more and nothing less. Councilman Caimano-Well, I tell you as far as I am concerned that is all I have Mr. Supervisor, I will tell you again that, Number 1 I have a tremendous amount of compassion and respect for our elected brethren in Glens Falls who are trying to do something and I believe what I said earlier that Queensbury has ...tied to the pluses and minuses of the economy of Glens Falls and I will when this comes up to a vote I will vote yes, but if I do not see something happening in this one, it will be the last one I vote yes on. Supervisor Champagne-I think everyone would echo those same remarks, Nick, we have seen the losses in manufacturing over the last seven, eight years, in this ... there has been a constant exodus of manufacturing jobs right now, where I guess I sense little more service oriented rather than manufacturing. I guess the core of the issue in my opinion is that New York State is not very user friendly to...so unfortunately you have got a real, you have got a barrier there a blockade you have got a National image out there that is killing this particular State. When the State offers a community something that is going to benefit, business and industry, to encourage and to enhance their locating here I think has a lot of merit. I am somewhat familiar with the Gloversville scenario and I can tell you right now that without that Economic Development Zone in Gloversville they would be hurting ...out there. I think for those of us who have followed the unemployment rate here over the past year and a half or two we were absolute tops in the State of New York as far, out side of New York City. I think the designation and criteria for locating an Economic Development Zone in this area I think that is a rather high priority. The City certainly has much to be gained but I also maintain that with the possibility of some additional light industry on the Corinth Road area where that has been designated there has got to be some real benefits there. We know that energy can be purchased considerably less, we know that there are some tax waivers for those jobs that are coming in and there are a number of benefits that go with it. Again, if you look at other states and I hesitate to compare New York with the Missouri's and the South and North Carolina's but I have got to tell you I know, industry is going to go where those magnets are. If you have the right magnet you are going to attract that business or that industry and if it is manufacturing that we are looking for we need to posture ourselves in this area in order to make it happen. So, when the vote comes up I will certainly vote yes. Ok Councilman Monahan-Fred, I have just one question for clarification of the law and for the record here page 3 of the law, down on the bottom where letter E and down at the bottom where it says (a) any agreement to establish a job training program designed to meet the needs of private employers shall require such employer to retain in his employ for not less than six months an employee who has satisfactorily completed a course of training for a particular job opening; Councilman Caimano-Where are you? Councilman Monahan-Bottom of page 3 and top of page 4. I just want to put in for the record, that I am assuming that if an employee does not have good work habits, if they are late, drinking on the job, etc. and so on is this employer going to have a hard time getting rid of the employee because of that clause in there? Mr. Faircloth-No Councilman Monahan-.....from an employers angle. Supervisor Champagne-Shall require such employer to retain, you are saying, Martin if there are loop holes there that an employer could release an employee given a bad situation? Mr. Faircloth-Based on normal criteria for job performance and evaluation, absolutely. Councilman Monahan-Because I have heard of jobs that it is very hard to get rid of people for bad work habits because of some of these rules and regulations. Supervisor Champagne-I think the other issue that Nick, you spoke to previously, if the fact where does the control rest, who really manages the zone, what role does the Board play in that in that management and I have questioned Martin on that I have asked him to put together, kind of a flow chart as to where the authority and where the responsibility lies and I think I feel quite comfortable that within this Board we have the ability to, jurisdiction, over the appointments number one of the people who serve and we could involve ourselves if we so desire but secondly any of the pilots or any of the waivers if you will as they may pop up along the way is the authority of this Board so I think that satisfies. Councilman Caimano- Y ou have told me that and I am satisfied with that except that my only reminder is that everyone of the organizations that have been set up in what I like to call the alphabet soup of New York State has promised exactly the same thing. I want to see results, I do not want to see a much of B S, I want to see results. Supervisor Champagne-I cannot deny that. We may be one of the shortest lived Economic Zones in the History of New York State if we do not see results. Councilman Caimano- I do want to congratulate you, I think you, Jim, have done an excellent job of putting this together and working hard with this group and I look forward to success but, God, it has got to be there. Executive Director Martin-I understand and in the current claimant, I understand completely, you know questions and the desire for results, I don't fault that at all. Councilman Caimano- I will tell you those of us who work in private industry if we had the lack of results that have come about from all of the things that have been promised by the State of New York to help us out we would have been fired five times over and rightfully so. Supervisor Champagne-Any other questions, concerns? Councilman Wiswall-We won't know if we don't try it will we. Councilman Caimano- No. Supervisor Champagne-Are we ready to vote? Councilman Caimano- W e have got to do a short form environmental impact... Executive Director Martin-Just one note on that the amount of acreage effected in item seven in part one is two hundred and forty plus or minus acres. That is the amount of zoned property within the town. Councilman Caimano-Where are you, front page? Executive Director Martin-Yes. Front page, item seven, amount of land effected. I wanted to clarify that amount with Martin two hundred and forty plus or minus acres. Mr. Bill Threw-I have some questions I have got land in this area and I am looking at this map I really cannot see..what land is involved the boundaries of it. Supervisor Champagne-Martin, can you. Executive Director Martin-It is more defined over here. Mr. Threw-Like on Big Bay Road where the town pit is, does it include that. Executive Director Martin-(Used map) This is Big Bay come right in thorough here and here is the specific tax parcels that are involved. Mr. Threw-This is the Town parcel right here? Executive Director Martin-Right. Mr. Threw-It eliminates it right? Executive Director Martin-Right. Mr. Threw-I own all this. Executive Director Martin-That would be in the zone. Mr. Threw-This right here is also industrial, I was wondering why it did include that? Executive Director Martin-The bold line includes the zone boundary. Mr. Threw-This is according to my map and what I am paying taxes on this is industrial. Executive Director Martin-Right and that is in the zone. The boundary comes right along here I think it follows exactly the light industrial zoning. Mr. Threw-Why did they eliminate the town property? Executive Director Martin-No, that is in it, everything that is in the bold line. Supervisor Champagne-It is not just that dark Bill it is the entire dark line surrounding. Executive Director Martin-You see this dark black line here that is the perimeter of the zone boundary everything within that. Mr. Threw-This right here is the Town property and this right here is residential lots, you are telling me now that I can have industrial.. Executive Director Martin-As far as I know this was supposed to follow the industrial zone, the light industrial zoning boundary that was the instruction given. Mr. Threw-Am I reading this right, this is the Town property? Executive Director Martin-I am not sure about that, I would have to get the map in my office to clarify that, but, Paul you know where it is, your sand pit here? Mr. Threw-That is it right there, I have got ten lots along here, ...this right here is Bill Maille.. Executive Director Martin-There are residential lots along here. Supervisor Champagne-That water front stuff is all separated out. Executive Director Martin-This is all water front... Mr. Threw-I have ten lots on the other side of that road, you are saying is industrial now. Executive Director Martin-No, Mr. Threw-It is included in this industrial Executive Director Martin-Eagan Road is right here and then there are lots that front on each side of it, these are cut out, this is Eagan Road here and these are the lots on the north side of the road and these are the lots on the south side of the road, they are cut out. Supervisor Champagne-What we need to do is to get a section map, Jim and color code that in so that we all know precisely where that is at. I could not designate, I could not identify that map either. Councilman Monahan-I think there is a confusion here in people's minds we are not re-zoning anything. Executive Director Martin-No, we are not rezoning. Councilman Monahan-We are not rezoning anything. Weare just doing an overlay economic, whatever zoning is there is going to hold. Executive Director Martin-Yes, definitely. But it was, the line is supposed to follow the light industrial zoning in the town. Councilman Monahan-But if there are any mistakes the zoning would hold, the zoning we have now will hold. Executive Director Martin-Definitely. The zoning will take precedent. Councilman Monahan-Is anybody going to recheck those lines before this goes in for good? Executive Director Martin-Yes. I am almost positive without having the map here, I know that is the light industrial line. Mr. Daniel Olson-I have got a couple of quick questions. Without reading all this, I just want to clarify for myself in that large zone that you are talking about, it is my belief then that a manufacturing business some kind of a business that fits one of these economic zone could locate, if they located there then they become eligible for the job training? Executive Director Martin-They have benefits which are available to them providing... Mr. Olson-Could you explain just some of those benefits that might be available? Just off the top of your head. Mr. Faircloth-Essentially wage tax benefits for new employees they get 50% wage...$1500 for employees, there is also investment tax credits through the State 8-10% of the investment. Those are the two prime benefits. Supervisor Champagne-...sales tax deduction too, they do not pay sales tax. Mr. Faircloth-On the purchase of the ... Mr. Olson-Similar to a Mr. Faircloth-In fact I could give you this, this outlines Mr. Olson-Do you have an extra copy of that Mr. Faircloth-Yes Mr. Olson-I appreciate that, thank you. Executive Director Martin-One of the more simple ones is the exempt from State sales tax for anything they purchase within and build within the zone? Mr. Olson-Also, probably that developer or person who is going to look like settle there hopefully, build then going into an economic zone like that, a proposed economic zone, an economic zone with the Town backing that opens up other avenues for that person for financing does it help them with their own financing also, maybe the Town won't help them but it shows to that person or to that lending institution they go to that they are in an area that they are getting assistance from, it goes along, hand in hand with other programs doesn't it? Mr. Faircloth-It goes hand in hand with any of the State financing programs, they prioritized the zone applicant. Mr. Olson-There is about two hundred and forty acres? Mr. Faircloth-Yes Mr. Olson-Is any consideration given to, I know it ties in pretty good with the City of Glens Falls boundary line, what is that area that the City in the City map right to the right, just is that the City boundary line with Queensbury? Executive Director Martin-This is the City boundary line here Mr. Olson-To your right way over. Executive Director Martin-That is your eastern boundary of the Town. Mr. Olson-Which is by the railroad track Executive Director Martin-Dix Avenue going out that way. Mr. Olson-Overpass by the Cement Company. Executive Director Martin-We did look at this area also but statutorily we were confined from getting into this area of the Town because the census track that qualifies the City is basically this right here, this area right here and there is a census track that separates this census track of the Town and this one in the City and in order to qualify you have to have the zone located within an adjoining census tracks. So, this census track has a boundary with the Town here so therefore our census track here qualifies. Mr. Olson-The census track being the population or the population of businesses in the area? Executive Director Martin-No, the census track defined by the bureau of census there is I forget how many there are in the City I think it is four. Mr. Olson-You know if, have a question part of my question is I thought that was the easterly border of the City of Glens Falls, there is a lot of land between Warren Street and Dix Avenue. Councilman Caimano-It has to be a contiguous zone. That is why we went to the side we are on, it has to be contiguous, Glens Falls is the one that is getting the economic zone. Executive Director Martin-They are the qualifying municipality. Councilman Caimano-We have to be contiguous to the zone that is qualified otherwise it does not happen. Councilman Monahan-But not land contiguous, census track contiguous, that is what is confusing people. Mr. Olson-I will have to look at the definition of a census track.. Executive Director Martin-You ought to stop in some time or the County would have them, they have census track maps that show where the census track boundary zones are. Mr. Olson-I am just thinking about land that is owned by the cement company, large parcel behind Green Street and Brayton Avenue that goes from there to Dix Avenue joins in with the Industrial Development, Industrial Development, City Industrial Development park Executive Director Martin-That is right here, the area shaded right here, that is the City park right there, the land that you are referring to is all in this area here and between Warren and Dix Avenue right in here the City recently sold its DPW Garage, they have an industry in there now those are all, that is all within the zone. We've pretty much were waiting to see what the City decided how much they were going to take for the zone size and we were left whatever they, you know, could not fill. You are eligible for up to two square miles so we were left basically you know, just about I would say you know maybe 20% of that. Supervisor Champagne-We would have liked to move it out to the Industrial Park the Airport Industrial Park to pick that up. It would have been great to have picked up..ifwe could have gotten that in there. Mr. Olson-..I am here too, because I happen to own a piece of property and know of other properties close to that City line that are undeveloped at this time that are zoned for light industrial and industrial use. Executive Director Martin-Well, before the application we did, oh it had to be three or four years ago now, it was more like a dumb bell shape we did not go out and do this section of the Town at all we had this area of the City and then we went out a narrow strip out Dix Avenue and then we blossomed it out there we picked up Earltown and the Town park and all that and since that time the rules have gotten more stringent is to how they position the zone. We also extended into Saratoga County to pick up what was then James River or Crown Zellerbach I think and that was a statutory violation. That kicks it right out of the box. Mr. Olson-..Earltown was sort..all of a sudden you got a big development that was put there for industrial, clean industry type thing office buildings and complexes and all this... Supervisor Champagne-The only heavy industry right now is down around the old Ciba Geigy on the other side of, on the south side of ... Executive Director Martin-The only heavy industrial zoning we have in the town is the cement plant, but that like I said was statutory and ineligible. Supervisor Champagne-Any other questions or concerns, add anything more to it? We declare the public hearing closed. 7:29 P.M. Executive Director Martin-Led the Town Board through Part II of the Environmental Assessment form: A. Does Action exceed any Type I threshold in 6NYCRR, Part 617.l2? No B. Will Action Receive coordinated review as provided for unlisted actions in 6 NYCRR Part 6l7.6? No C. Could Action result in any adverse effects associated with the following: C1. Existing air quality, surface or groundwater quality or quantity, noise levels, existing traffic patterns, solid waste production or disposal potential for erosion, drainage or flooding problems? No. C2. Aesthetic, agricultural, archaeological, historic, or other natural or cultural resources; or community or neighborhood character? No. C3. Vegetation or fauna, fish, shellfish or wildlife species, significant habitats, or threatened or endangered species? No. C4. A community's existing plans or goals as officially adopted, or a change in use or intensity of use of land or other natural resources? No. C5. Growth, subsequent development, or related activities likely to be induced by the proposed action? No. C6. Long term, short term, cumulative or other effects not identified in C l-C5? No. C7. Other impacts No. D. Is there, or is there likely to be controversy related to potential adverse environmental impacts? No. Councilman Caimano-I will move the negative declaration based upon the attachment .. seconded by Councilman Monahan Councilman Monahan-I have a question-I am looking at the staff notes here at the top ..exceeding type I threshold and this is not a type I it is unlisted? Why don't we put unlisted in there? Executive Director Martin-In question A? Councilman Monahan-Yes. You do not have to worry about type I threshold. Attorney Dusek-I think the question is meant to mean that are you triggered into leaving the unlisted category and going into a type I inotherwords there is a list in the SEQRA regs that outline these and when they use, it is really poor worded question, actually what they mean to say is it type I or is it unlisted as you were saying but the way they word it you would answer no because it is not a type I. Executive Director Martin-Plus this document is really an affirmation of what you said in your assessment. Attorney Dusek-On your motion Nick could I make a suggestion there is a reason supporting the determination on the negative dec that has been left blank and it would seem the reason why you came to a negative declaration is as I mention a little earlier: That this program does not effect the zoning that the development of the land could occur as it is zoned with or without this and that this is really something that will foster to develop it in the direction that has already been planned by the Town and therefor the Town finds that this program is worthy of a negative declaration. Councilman Caimano- That is what we will do then.
