DULY ADOPTED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE : AYES : MR. OLSON , DR. EISENHART , MR. MORRELL , MRS. MONAHAN , MRS . WALTER NOES : NONE ABSENT : NONE DISCUSSION HELD-SUPERVISOR WALTER- I FELT] AS THE FISCAL OFFICER OF THE TOWN) THAT THE INTEREST RATES REALLY WEREjINSTEAD OF GOING UP ON LATE PAYMENTS.pACTUALLY WERE GOING DOWN FOR THE TOWN . THERE WAS LEGISLATION PASSED INDICATING THAT IF YOU ESTABLISHED A LOCAL LAW THAT A MUNICIPALITY COULD SET THEIR OWN RATES OF INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENTS . I ASKED OUR ATTORNEY IF HE WOULD PLEASE PUT TOGETHER A RESOLUTION THAT WE COULD HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TO SET OUR OWN RATES OF INTEREST . IN HIS RESEARCH TO PUT THIS TOGETHER , HE FOUND HE COULD NOT DO IT BECAUSEjAS THE RESOLUTION STATES , TOWNS DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY , THE AUTHORITY HAS ONLY BEEN GIVEN TO CITIES AND COUNTIES TO SET THEIR OWN RATE , THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A LEGISLATURE OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST TOWNS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE OUR LEGISLATORS AWARE THAT WE HAVE NEEDS JUST LIKE CITIES AND COUNTIESjTHIS IS DETRIMENTAL TO US IN THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY . , .

SUPERVISOR WALTER- JUST LIKE THE UTILITY COMPANIES CHARGE FOR LATE PAYMENTS , THAT IS JUST A PART OF BUSINESS-THE POINT OF THE RESOLUTION REALLYjIS THE FACT THAT A TOWN MUST GO ALONG WITH WHAT THE STATE 30 LEGISLATURE HAS SETj WHICH IN FACT IS NOT MORE THAN IT USED TO BE IT IS LESS THAT IT USED TO BE , IT IS REDICULOUS TO CHARGE . 86% I KNOW OUR TAX RECEIVER IS TEARING HER HAIR OUT SAYINGjHOW CAN THE AVERAGE HOME OWNER COMPUTE . 86% WHEN THEY ARE LATE WHEN ONE PERCENT WOULD BE MORE REALISTIC AND EASIER; BUT THE LEGISLATURE HAS NOT SEEN FIT TO DO THAT. ON THE OTHER HAND YOU HAVE CITIES AND COUNTIES WHO CAN SAYj IF YOU PAY OUR TAXES LATE WE HAVE A LOCAL LAW THAT SAYS YOU ARE GOING TO PAY 3% OR 4% OR WHAT EVER WHY CAN NOT THE TOWNS HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY , WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE STUCK WITH STATE LAW WHERE IT ALMOST ENCOURAGES TO PAY LATE BECAUSE ALTHOUGH INTEREST RATES HAVE GONE UP OVER THE LAST TEN YEARSJTHAT THIS IS LESS MONEY IN LATE PAYMENT INTEREST THEN WHAT WAS PAID TEN YEARS AGO. WILSON MATHIAS- ONE OF THE POINTS IS THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED A LAW HAS RESULTED IN A DECREASE IN REVENUE TO THE TOWN , I DO NOT THINK THAT WAS THE INTENT. . .
