ROBERT HAFNER, TOWN COUNSEL- ? Spoke concerning the Richardson Street project with regards to the bike path. Has spoken with the engineer and there isn’t a concern about where the bike path is going to be located. The engineers have been provided with a survey map by the Town Surveyor showing that we have sufficient boundary to put the bike path in. ? The Betterment Agreement is due in September to the Federal package but it needs to get to the State in early August. ? With regards to the permit issued to the Saratoga Rowing Association, Town Counsel was involved because they were asked to draft the permit. This permit is for one season, if all goes well it will be renewed. It was specifically drafted to be revocable in case there were issues. It was drafted to require insurance. The Saratoga Rowing Association is an active Association that has successfully taught and trained rowing in Saratoga. The permit was issued with the idea that Saratoga Rowing would do the same for Queensbury residents. The permit was drafted it not to allow them to leave property except for this structure which has to be removed if the permit doesn’t get renewed or it is revoked. If it is not removed it becomes the Town’s. Part of the permit provided that the Saratoga Rowing Association would improve the dock (for non-motorized boats) so that it would be better usable to not only them but for all Town residents. According to Steve Lovering, Director of Parks and Recreation, they didn’t get the permit quick enough to have the classes they intended to have by now. 4.0 TOWN BOARD DISCUSSIONS COUNCILMAN METIVIER- ?

Lake George will be featured on the Today Show. Had the pleasure of working with Kate Johnson, Director of Warren County Tourism and the folks from the Today Show this past Saturday. They spent the day on the Lake shooting a lot of preliminary footage for their episode that will air on Monday. ? There has been some vandalism over at the West End Park. Asked people to keep a look out. COUNCILMAN MONTESI- ? Spoke regarding the drainage easement project on Everett’s Avenue. The Town is ready to go to bid but, unfortunately, the Town is at a stand still until they can reach some sort of agreement with two of the property owners over there. SUPERVISOR STEC- ? Noted that Councilman Montesi has worked hard on this project. This has been a lingering problem for years. The culvert is on private property therefore the reason why this hasn’t been resolved thus far. ? Noted that the Town has not had a town tax in eight years and everyone on the Board currently and for the past eight years deserve a lot of credit for being able to maintain that. COUNCILMAN STROUGH- ? Spoke regarding the Hovey Pond Beautification Committee and what a wonderful job they do. Marylee Gosline, the Chairwoman of the Friends of Hovey Pond would like to thank the following: Bill Enny of Richie Brothers Slate, who donated approximately three yards of slate chips for walkways in the native plant section of the garden; Chris St. Andrews of St. Andrews Ace Hardware store for numerous hand tools; Wally Hersch of Binley Flower Shop for the donated hand tools; Frank Trolestra from Garden Time who donated time and hand tools and Pete Watkins for the much appreciated water thermos. The community as well as the Friends for Hovey Pond deeply appreciates these people and their donations. ? Drew Monthie and Greg Green have volunteered their time to improve the corner of Quaker and Bay Road. They have also been working with Chuck Rice, Superintendent of Building and Grounds, installing a few extra sprinkler heads. It really looks nice. ? In the Town Code dealing with Animal Control Chapter 73 read the following. In reference to your dogs they are not allowed to create a nuisance by defecating, urinating or digging on public property or on private property without the consent or the approval of the owner of such property. COUNCILMAN BREWER- ? Spoke regarding the vandalism at the West End Park. If necessary, a camera will be installed. ? The PCB cleanup on Luzerne road is complete. ? Met with Dan Ryan and some residents over on Applehouse Lane last Wednesday. Mr. Ryan has suggested that some monitoring wells be installed to see where the flow of the water, table is. There are structures over there and we want to make sure they are functioning. These wells should be going in within the next couple of weeks. SUPERVISOR STEC- ? Town’s website www.queensbury.net. There is a lot of information here. ? Thanked TV8 and our sponsors for televising our Town meetings. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING MTG 07-20-2009 MTG #29 15 ? The Town has been cooperating with the Sheriff’s Department on the West End Park vandalism. Vandalism is a senseless crime and if the person is apprehended the Town will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. ? Last Friday, there was an event at Hovey Pond involving a family fun day. There had over three hundred people in attendance. The Parks and Recreation Staff did a great job. ? Spoke regarding the Today Show noting that Lake George is one of the four areas selected. ? The Town of Queensbury does not have a general town tax. There are over nine hundred towns in New York State; of those, there are only thirty-seven last year that did not have a general town tax. The Town of Queensbury is the largest town in New York State without a town tax. Queensbury government has been doing a lot of good by the money lately. The entire Town Staff, the Town that participates in our process, the Town Board Members past and present should feel really good about where the Town of Queensbury is. COUNCILMAN STROUGH- Hopes that someone on the Today Show mentions the Town of Queensbury in their upcoming broadcast.
