2.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS
PUBLIC HEARING WEST GLENS FALLS EMERGENCY SQUAD, INC.'S PROPOSAL
TO PURCHASE
NOTICE SHOWN
PUBLICATION DATE: JANUARY 15, 2016
DAN SOLVAY- I'll talk about the finance. If there are any questions regarding the actual
apparatus, Jason Miller, our captain is here to speak on that.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay.
MR. SOLVAY- Do you want me to step up there, John?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah, Dan and Jason, would you please come forward?
MR. SOLVAY- Certainly.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- All right.
MR. SOLVAY- I'm Dan Solvay. I'm the treasurer of West Glens Falls Emergency. We reached
out to three (3) banking institutions locally. As you can imagine the interest rate that they were
looking to offer us for financing a vehicle was pretty close. Glens Falls National actually went
the extra mile and extended the rate for six (6)to eight (8) months, which is the period of time
that we're looking to take position of this new vehicle. It's going to be in a ...status and Jason
can answer any questions regarding that segment of it. So the rate that we're proposing, or
they're proposing that we've accepted is four and a quarter percent (4.25%) for a five (5) year
period of time, and we're looking at financing a hundred and sixty two thousand (162,000). The
vehicle will actually cost more than that but the difference in what the purchase price will be and
the actually funding will come out of our operating budget for this year.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And one of the reasons that you're here is because this Resolution
not only authorizes the purchase but it also is authorizing the tax exempt financing. For some
reason it has to come before this Board. It's a good thing. Jason, do you have anything to add?
JASON MILLER- Only if you have questions.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Any questions?
COUNCILMAN VANNESS- This has all the new updated equipment with it Jason, correct?
And that's why it's a little...
MR. MILLER- It's a little more expensive. The last time that we purchased the new ambulances
we bought...which were basically used ambulances. One had over twelve or fifteen thousand
miles on it when we took possession. So this will come with whatever it takes to drive it from the
factory to Queensbury...
COUNCILMAN VANNESS- I think the great think the great thing on it too, John is that they're
coming in with no increase in their budget.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 02-09-2016,MTG 46 285
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Right, this is no increase in their budget. They fit all of this into
their budget. It will be their third (3rd) vehicle, ambulance; 711 is sick very often. It's got eighty
seven thousand (87,000) miles on it. The intent of getting this new one is to allow 711 to have a
little bit of a rest. We'll still use it.
MR. MILLER- In a backup capacity.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- As a backup capacity.
MR. MILLER- Yes. Right now when we have an ambulance out of service, we reach out to
North Queensbury or Bay Ridge and they have been nice enough to allow us to borrow one of
their ambulances in the interim.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- All right, and West Glens Falls is by far the busiest of the EMS
squads. The vehicle you want to purchase, it's a 2016 Ford F-450...
COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Yes, I saw that, John.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- 4x4 type I ambulance for approximate price of one hundred and
eighty one thousand, ninety eight dollars ($181,098). Okay, now this is a public hearing, so now
that we've presented what's going on here and the intent behind this Resolution. Is there any
member of the public that wishes to speak to this application? All right, seeing none, no further
questions Board? All right, Resolution to approve? I'll close the public hearing.
