APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Teti moved to approve the minutes of the
September 8th, 1986 meeting. Commissioner Lemery seconded the
motion, which was unanimously approved.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
In light of the fact the Chairman was detained, but expected
momentarily, and because the visitors were present to talk about
land acquisition, the Commission opted to change the agenda and
review the Director's Report first. A verbal report was given
and it was explained that the pool had been winterized and that
many of the items on the initial pool punch list had been correct-
ed. The Director noted that there were still about 10-15 items
which the contractor had yet to rectify.
A number of fall programs were briefly explained and included:
senior citizen trips (see flyers) aerobic dance classes, the co-ed
volleyball program and the mens' gYm night program. Commissioner
Teti asked for clarification regarding senior citizen attendance/
residency requirements, and the Director explained that any senior
citizen who resides in the Town of Queensbury, or who is a member
of the Queensbury Senior Citizens Club, may participate in Town
sponsored senior functions.

The Director briefly explained information regarding: the
Department's upcoming budget meeting with the Town Board, the
yet to be completed swimming pool report and the Department's
Lake George (Sandy Bay) Development Plan which was being typed
and would be to the Supervisor the following day.
Councilwoman Monahan suggested that in light of the great
variety of shows being offered at Proctor's Theater, that the
Department consider offering a family trip this winter. The
Director agreed and will make every effort to schedule such a
program as soon as possible.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
The guests were introduced to the Commission and Commissioner
Lemery moved to adjourn to executive session at 7:45 P.M., to
discuss land acquisition. Commissioner Bly seconded the motion,
which was unanimously approved.
Returning to open session at 9:03 P.M., the Director relayed
the situation regarding the Docksider Restaurant's request to use
a portion of the Town's canoe access area, on Glen Lake, as park-
ing for broom ball participants. After discussing the specifics,
the Commission had no objection but suggested that the Director
check first with the Glen Lake Park Association, to insure that
this usage will not adversely affect our summer park relationship.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at
9:08 P.M. The next meeting will be held on Monday, November 10th,
1986 at 7:30 P.M.
