This project has elicited the most interest from Town of Queensbury residents. In discussing the matter with John Dunn, the amount of work volunteers could do is limited. Professional help is necessary because of the difficulty of the work involved, since we propose to do the "most damaged" stones first. We have an estimate of $8.00 on an average per stone. This would mean that we could do perhaps 22 stones per cemetery. We have been quite careful in spending our money and we have covered a wide range of interests in carrying out the proposed program. We, as a committee duly appointed by the town government do therefore request that our Bicentennial Budget be maintained as it now stands. Respectfully, /s/ Joan Robertson, Chairman Supervisor Brandt- thanked Mrs. ' Joan Robertson for a well conceived presentation.-. . wished to introduce a resolution to allow the committee to spend the funds . . . Councilman Barber- objected to Mr. Brandt's resolution because the Town Board has not approved or discussed a new fl000kmat in approving .-. spending. . . Supervisor Brandt- noted that in a resent convert with Audit and Control. . . the fact that a budget was made last year does not give authorization to spend the money, in fact the Board has to authorize an expenditure before it is a legal expenditure. . .this can be done two says-to let the expenditure take place and then at audit time approve it or to authorize the expenditure at the beginning which is a proceedure which I would like to encourage. . . The motion died for lack for second. . . i so as Mrs. Joan Robertson- questioned if she had the right to spend the budgeted money? Councilman Robillard- Yes Police Activity report January 1976 on file. . . . Councilman Robillard-Stated position on Mobile Homes- I will remain so called Hard Nosed when it comes to Mobile Hdmes locating in this township. I think it is the responsibility of the Town Board to hold Public Hearings when a person requests placing a Mobile Home in the town outside of courts. . . by this process we are not denying them property in any section of the Town. . . not just one allocated area. . .I think the Town would be shirking its responsibility if they set aside one area for Mobile Homes. . .In December of 1975 the Town Board requested to Murphy and Kren not to set aside land for mobile homes . . .the Town Board wanted a handle on any obile home was going into. . . I do not believe in setting aside any specifif ea in this Town for Mobile Homes I feel that this is discriminatory by the fact that we are allowing them in only one area of our township. . .I met with the New York State Dept. of Taxation in N.Y. City and they told me that there was not way we could assess mobile homes in other than what we are doing by a lump sum unit, when these homes are purchased it is like +� buying a car they are valued for 10,000 this year next year you pick up �+ the A.B.C. book and it is valued at 8,000 If the\ mobile homes owners do not think our ordinance is fair theft &ysmould go to the courts. . . Supervisor Brandt- Noted tlpt he encouraged the mobite home owners to meetwith the Planning Board and draw up another ordinance and present it to the Board. . . Open Forum: Gary Renaud-speaking for the Mobile Home Owners Association-requested that Mr. Robillard take himself off the Town Board if he was that predjudice against allowing mobile home owners to locate outside of parks. . . Mr. Bruce Bair- noted that an assessment must be reached even on run down stick homes. . . Mrs. Whiteman- spoke . . . there are places for commertkat ect,,,why not locations for mobile hemmes where we : can own land. . . Mrs. Alice Henderson- spoke---not fair. . .you can only have land when you have a hardship. . . Supervisor Brandt- noted that the Town Planning Board is willing to work with the mobile home owners . . .to achieve an ordinance so that mobile home owners would not have to go through the Public Hearing to place a mobile home. . .this would take a lot of thought and work. . . this can not be done over night. . . Other residents of the Town that are mobile home owners voiced their opinions that they would like to see the ordinance changed. . . Councilman Barber-noted that the joint landfill committee has met and are making progress. . . On motion the meeting was adjourned. . Respectfully submitted, Donald A. Chase, Town Clerk
