Dear Mr. Brandt:
It has home to our attention that both the Queensbury Planning Board and
Zoning Board of Appeals have one person each serving beyond the
expiration of their terms . Both terms expired in September of this
year. In addition, there is one vacancy on the Zoning Board of Appeals .
It is hoped that the town's policy will be to consider each p6sition
carefully. This would mean opening these board seats to all interested
Queensbury residents who would represent different sections of the town
geographically, economically and in age.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
/s/
