Wished everyone a Happy New Year to our Town Board our staff and Legal Counsel ? Thanked TV8 and our Sponsors for their televising of our meetings ? Town’s website www.queensbury.net ? I want to take this time to thank all the staff, that has worked so hard for the Town over the years in particular last year and they have done a yeoman’s job especially the last couple of years it has been a tough economy. Darleen and your office has just been fantastic you had a busy year last year and you again as always did a fantastic job you and the ladies that work ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-03-2011 MTG #1 48 with you in your office. The Assessor’s Department the Planning and Zoning Department down stairs, our Building Inspectors our Animal Control Officer, our Highway Dept. our IT Coordinator our Building and Town Staff, they have done a great job. The tree and getting ready for our Christmas Party that we have for the kids every year here the first week in December they did a great job again. We have been blessed with some good weather lately that snow removal has not been an issue for them or the Highway Department which is very important the Highway Dept. that we drive safely when plowing roads. I do want to thank the Water Department, they have done a great job. I did a summary of just how good they do from a numbers perspective at our Budget Public Hearing. But, again the Water Department produces water at one of the lowest rates in the State. The Highway Department maintains the roads at one of the lowest per miles costs of any of the surrounding communities. I have not found one that was less than Queensbury yet. Those are two big chunks of the budget the Water Department and the Highway Department are two of your bigger departments, they certainly are the two largest departments by far as far the number of employees go. Again even the General Fund and the look that I did last year at the nine communities in our area that are a comparable size and business of Queensbury only Wilton had a lower General Fund per person spending than Queensbury. So, Queensbury I think has been very frugal with the taxpayers money we certainly always know that less is better and we strive for that. We have not figured out a way yet to maintain the roads and not spend a nickel. But, we spend less than just about everybody else. So, that is a testament not only to certainly I think fellow Town Board Members that are vigilant in their work managing and governing the Town but certainly the work does not get done without the people that are out there doing the snowplowing, working in the Clerk’s Office, administering the Town’s Codes and our Cemeteries and our Water Department and our Wastewater Department. We are very appreciative of the work that they do from the most junior person that comes in at night and maybe cleans for us all the way up to all the Department Heads and the Town Board. Hats off to you all, you have done a great job. I hope that your families all had a good holiday and we wish our Town Employees a safe and healthy 2011 as we do all our community residents. Thank you very much everybody. Bob please bring back my respect and admiration to your firm, they have done a great for us, we threw a lot of curve balls, I know that there has got to be long list of things down there at Miller and Mannix that you would say only in Queensbury. That is good because I look like I am keeping you on top of your game which is good for intermunicipal cooperation all the other communities that you represent benefit from the weird things that you see here.
