NOTICE SHOWN
iUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is there anyone who wishes to speak to make any comments whatever
—7•elated to the proposed changes in the ordinance of number 34? 1 believe the major thrust
of this is to make into a violation rather than a misdemeanor, the penalty for exceeding the
speed limit in those Greas. Currently the wGy the law is written its a misdemeanor which
carries with it G jail term potentially. The change would make it G violation which would
carry hopefully G very heGvy fine. Anyone who wishes to speak for or against or in any wGy
about that particulGr item? Any members of the Board wishes to speak about this?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes Steve, you just brought up a point that I had thought of and
I wonted to ask Paul about it. In the ordinance as it is now on the books, whet provision is
there,in there for fining?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-1 believe there is up to a one hundred dollar fine. It is set by the Judge
however, the exGct amount.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Are there any other comments from anyone? Hearing none, public
hearing.closed.

to the mt,ximum level permitted by the State law, the (,mount of income individuals, sixty-five
or older may have quc:lified for un exemption from the Town tax. This does not refer to school
tax or special district taxes. in addition to what has been true in the past where there w(,s
an income limit and if you are under that, to fill out (, form, you prove th(,t you are under
thcA li;r,it, you'd get fifty percent reduction in your Town taxes. You m(,y now by (, sliding
scale which is also permissible by the State law and which we are proposing to go to the maximum
o,?, im,y earn up to (,s much (,s fifteen thousand twenty-five dollars and still receive (, twenty

cxennptions? I'll simply indicate that I'm very happy that we've got this. i hope the rest of
the Board c.grees. For some time we've felt th(,t the need to assist our seniors every w(,y
possible. We've checked the l(,w and this is the m(,ximum allowable number. We'll do the
best cve can. i would encour(,ge you to go to the school bo(,rd to see if they would adopt the
s(,me philosophy, that would help in m(,ny more dollars to your tax burden. Any other Board
member wish to speck (bout this?
COUNCILMAN K UROSAKA-It's been the philosophy of the Bo(,rd since I've been on it.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-it's been the philosophy of the Bo(,rd, that's right, for a few years
and we've finally got it planned. Hearing no further discussion, we'll close the public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING -REGARDING QUEENSBUR Y CENTRAL VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY
7:50 P.M.
i
NOTICE SHOWN
SUPL-IZVISOR BORGOS-This is the public hearing regarding the tax status Gnd disillusioned
status Grid IRS provisions for the Queensbury Central Volunteer Fire Deportment. We've
discussed this in the past. Perhaps Attorney Pontiff who is with us this evening, I think on
this item, would be willing to very briefly summarize the purpose of what is proposed here.
PAUL PONTIFF-I'm an attorney for Queensbury CentrGl Volunteer Fire Company, office
at One Washington Street, Glens Falls. The Queensbury CentrGl Volunteer Fire Company,
although in substance, meeting the requirements for r, tax exempt organization, has never
obtained (, qualification letter from Internal Revenue Service. It is pertinent that they do
that, that in order to realize the benefits of tGx exempt status in the wGy of sbvings for sG/es
taxes and other items which would not be chargeable to tax exempt organizations. Also to
encourage contributions from some organizations which require that they submit G tGx exempt
letter from Internal Revenue in order to satisfy thei, requirements that they Gre making
a contribution to a tax exempt organization. So there for we are Emending the certificate
of', we have applied to Internal Revenue for G tax e):.?mpt status Grid to obtGin G qualification
letter from Internal Revenue. They require certain language in the certificate of incorporation
upon dissolution. That is to protect the Gssets of M.? corporation from ever Gccruing to the
benefit of Gny members of the corporation and u/ti 17ately upon dissolution of the corporation
_going to a like organization so thGt it preserves the 'status of tax exempt category for the
assets of the corporation should it ever dissolve. In order to Gccomplish that the state IGw
requires that a certificate of amendment Gs does c. certificcte of incorporation for a volunteer
fire company under the non for profit corporation law, be Gpproved by, lifter being signed I
and authorized by the membership End the Board q the fire company which has been done,
has to he approved by G Justice of Supreme Court, 'which is G fairly preform bpproach. You
hand it to the Judge and tell him what it is and he normally signs it. It also requires the GpprovGl
of the Town Board or the Village Board or the City Common Council, where ever the fire
company is operating, in which ever municipality the fire company is operating in. In this
case they are operating in the Town of Queensbury. So therefore it requires the GpprovGl
of the Town Board for the amendment of the certificate of the fire company Gnd in order
to have the (,pproval of the Town Board, the !Gw requires G public heGring Gnd thGt is why
we are here tonight. The language of the Gmendment Gs the dissolution says that the corporation
can not distribute its assets upon dissolution to any organization other then co similGr or like
organization and it puts that kind of distribution within the control of the Supreme Court
Of the State of New York. It Glso provides that the corporation cGn not engage in Gny_politicbl
Gctivity, that is, foster or institute or aggravate or solicit political Gctivity of Gny sort. ThGt
is to prohibit the tax exempt status for such types of organizations, Gnd the statue under
the fraternal Revenue Code requires it Gnd thGt's part of the lGngucge of the Gmendment.
If Gnvbody has any questions, i'// be hGppy to Gnswer them.
SUPF_RViSOR BORGOS-Thank you, that was concise.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Paul, l Glready asked PGu/ Dusek this Gnd just to get it on the
.record and I know he talked to you. I had G question. So often we use the fire houses for
neighborhood meetings to get feed beck ....Gs we did MEster PIGn Gnd so on Gnd so forth.
I'm assuming this language would no way prohibit that type of activity.
AIR. PONTIFF-This language in no way prohibits the use of the fire station for community '
activities such (,s holding a polling place or meetings such Gs you Gre discussing becGuse they
are not the type of political activity that is defined in the statue.
COUNCIL AAN MONAHAN-1 would call to your attention, Paul, on this Gffidavit on the back,
sever(,/ Board member's names (,re spelled wrong.
AIR. PONTIFF-That's very possible.
COUNCILMAN ,'l-1ONAIIAN--Before you finGlize th(,t.

the names, once we get the correct spellings, I'll get them to Paul. Thank you.

other than the fGct you don't like the rules and regulations and all the process that we have
to go through. Hearing none, public hearing closed.

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO SANITARY SEWER DISPOSAL ORDINANCE
7:58 P.M.
NOTICE SHOWN
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-This next public hearing deals with on amendment to the sanitary
sewage disposal ordinance. 11l1 Gsk Mr. HGtin, our Building and Codes Enforcement Director
to please come up Gnd briefly tell us what this is.
DAVE HA TIN, Director of Building and Codes-Basically what this is is G holding tank provision
in the ordinance to set up specifications for the size of the tank to be installed, the alarm
system to be installed with that system and basically provide the Town with some ensurance
that if we do have holding tGnks that there is some control over them. I don't know if the
Board has the proposed amendments in front of them. One of the things is for year round
use, the person will have to seek a variance, it will not be a standard for a year round home.
There Gre Glso some provisions in here that the person must show G contract with a licensed
hauler for the holding tank, just so that there is safety added into it. The alarm...as specified
in there, i think it's pretty good Gnd I believe that we are one of the few Towns in the area
that has this, maybe the first.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Let me just ask you G question. I received notice that Lake George
Pt;rk Commission has instituted or will be instituting I believe on emergency basis their new
rules and regulations related to septic systems within o thousand feet and eventually three
thousand feet of LGke George. Will this holding tank qualify to meet their approving requirements.
AIR. IIATIN-1 haven't even seen the requirements Steve.
94NCiI.A-iA N MONA HA N-Nobody hos seen the requirements...
SUPFRVISOR BORGOS-i've given you c, list I believe of storm wc:ter...
AIR. HATiN-ThGt wus storm w(iter, septic wGs not on there.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-They didn't hove septic requirements...
COUNCILMAN MONA14AN-1 w(is ut G meeting the other day Gnd 1 understand thct the Commission
hus not yet received them. It was a// G rumor whet was going to be...
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 either saw it in today's newspaper or whatever.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes, today's newspaper had on Grticle on it.
j
AIR. HA TIN-We may want to forward a copy of this to them.
COUNCILMAN MONAIIAN-But what I'm saying is, nobody has had a chance to look o them
and evaluate them.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-We've got a concern. I'll ask our Town Attorney, if the Lake George
Park Commission does impose their regulations, do they enforce it? The newspaper or whoever
orticle i read, said they plan to enforce. Does their right of enforcement supersede our right
of enforcement?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-in this particular case what would happen, the more strict rules would
prevail. So it their rules are stricter they would in turn have the obligation to enforce those
rules. If_our rules are stricter, we would have the obligation to enforce ours to the extent
possible...both agencies work together.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Whet I saw written today indicated that people with Gny kind of a
septic system within those distances from the /Gke, have to apply for G' remove of three year
permit and pay (i fee of one hundred fifty dollars was the base fee for three years plus a lGrger
fee i f it goes above a thousand gallons.
COUNCILMAN AIONA IIA N-There Is clot more to It then then Steve. I think those rules Gnd
regulations are going to go under Glot of fleck.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 would think they would hove to be publicized cnd be the subject
of public hearing.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-The meeting thGt I was o the other day, just going by, people —
were discussing the rules that they had heard, was kind of following today's pGper, some of
them being pretty...
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Maybe this is (in opportunity that the Board should direct thGt Steve
send o letter to Mr. White who is the Chairman of the LGke George Perk Association with
u copy of our new ordinGnce if in fact we Gre on the leGding edge of lecding theway with
holding tanks. Perhaps it would be nice if we sent them an ordinance Gnd said here's G copy
of our ordinance, your the first to have them, we think it's fine and proper Gnd probably the
bast thing you con do with ...is to have G uniform set of standards.
MR. HA TIN-It would make it easier for me.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It sure would. I mean becGuse if their ordinGnce, if we follow the
tr(Jo of thought thGt Paul just said to us, if their's is more strict, which code book do you
take with you Gnd which do you enforce, (ire's or theirs?
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-It depends on whether it is in the Pork or not. If it's not in the
Pork, we use our's to enforce.
A T TOR NE Y O USEK-The other thing I should point out...we'd be enforcing our's and the LGke
George Park Commission would be enforcing theirs.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Right, I'm saying there could be duel responsibility there. The
-guy would get by us and not by them.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Where did you get this?
AiR. HA TIN--Rist-Frost is the one that drafted this up for me, Tom NGce...
25
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-They did G good job on it.
MR. HA TIN-They did on excellent job. They think it's a very good start and think it will work.
SUPER VISOR BORGOS-Thank you very much. Any other questions or comments from any
member of the public or any member of the Board?
HENR Y 14EYM-1 own the Costowoy Marino on LGke George. How does that effect holding
tanks that are there previously? We've had o tank on our property for fifteen years that I've
owned the property.
NR. HA TIN-Any existing system would be the some as an existing septic system, as long
--7:s they don't fail they continue to be maintained. If they do foil, they do have to meet the
new regulations and this would apply.
SUPER VISOR BORGOS-Thank you. Any other comments or questions? If not, we're ready
to close that public hearing.

SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Anyone here wishes to speck for or cguinst the erection of the Bedford
Close IVc.ter District extension which is going to be in the c.rec of cpproximutely thirteen
c.cres, I believe, that wcs previously omitted from thGt district for some strange reason?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Steve, my only comment is that if this public herring Gnd the resolution
come to the floor for c. vote, it's excepted, there is just one smell point, there is some letter
that you hGve to sign cn Gpplicction to send on to ENCON which needs to be done, yes, pert
of this orderly process...
i
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-P.ight, I think th(t's specified here in the resolution end there is c
copy Gttcched. That would be pert of the resolution. Anyone else who wishes to speck?
MR. PLINEY TUCKER-West Queensbury. I'm a little confused. I thought we did this the
last meeting, this wcter district.
SUPERVISOR BOR GOS-We had a discussion of setting the public hearing c.nd we did have
L public heGring, Mr. Dusek will explcin this, I discussed this with him ecrlier todGy. Would
you expl(in why we hod to hold another public herring cfter we held the other one?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Originc.11y, that is correct, we held r public hearing Gs wus required
to estc.blish this perticulc.r water district. When we held the public heGring we were .... to
( particul(r section in the Icw, in this perticulcr ruse it's Grticle 12A of the Town LGw. At
thc.t time we were utilizing cn older formulG or method of erecting the district. After some
discussion with the cppliccnt, the Board, etceterc, it was decided thct`...it would be in the
better interest of the Town to estcblish the district pursuing to the newer section of the
l(w tlrc.t was passed in 1987 which the Town hGs not utilized us far us I con recall to dote.
What this new section in the Icw does, is tallow the Town not only to create the district but
Glso consolidate it ct the sane time. Which in-effect mecns the district is crested Gnd they...Gnd
they stcrt paying the s(me rate ('s everybody else in the consolidcted water district. So it's
felt that it's an advcntcge to the Town...(tc,pe ch(,nged)
COUNCILMAN MON TESI-...different sets of books Gnd etch time you send G' guy out to fix
c. pipe on ( particu/cr section of rood, if it was in c consolidated district, you use one set,
if it w(s in the West Glens Fells section, you'd have to use, you'd have to do c whole set of
accounting for ecch one of these districts. About three years Ggo we consolidcted c whole
bunch of those districts into one, into the centrGl one end now cs Pcu1 points out there's some
new law of legislation on the books the chows you to do thct immedictely. Those people
shore the burden of the cGpitc.l cost of the water trectment plcnt right off the bet.
MR. TUCKER-Let me clarify this for my own mind. Clendon Brook Water District. This
was a district thGt was put in after the development was Gll done. You people understrnd
the situation. At the time that wGS done, the cost to do thct wGs clot more then the cost...I
got into the wcter district. Now consolidation of c district like thct is in to the regular district,
do the people thGt are c.lready in the district hGve to pick up that sdditionuf cost? How is
tht.t figured?
1 ,
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thct is totally sepsrcte. We did hGve twelve or thirteen waster districts,
we ere down to five or six at the moment. Clendon Brook is not, nothing is being consolidcted
Gt the moment. We're just saying this new piece to be lidded will be consolidcted into our
/Grge wcter, one. If Clendon Brook were to be consolidated with the others. Number one,
there hc.s to be mother public hearing, we'd hGve to hove some GnGlysis of the dollGr impact
on the typical resident c.nd ct that time we would determine the formula or people here would
determine whet the impact would be. The only time you'd normclly consolidate is when the
typical tax burden on the udvulorem basis or the assessed value basis comes pretty close to
what the consoliduted district is. That's o good time to bring everybody,together and help
everybody shore in one item. Right now the other water districts out there are quite u bit
distant dollar wise from the consolidated water district. We'll watch, us they come close,
Mot's the time to do consolidation.
MR. TUCKER-If 1 understand it correctly, this thing .... will be paid for by the developer...
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The developer is going to pay for the entire churge of building it.
What lie is not going to do is be paying a huge sum of money us hus been done in the post
few developments us a buy in charge to the plant and then leaving zero capital expenditure
'to the homeowners. What we've done, Paul has done most of the work, come up with a formula
thut would soy, this is what the reasonable buy in charge will be and in addition there will
be u capitol expense to the homeowners us port of their tax bill, us port of the consolidated
districts, that will lower the cost to everybody. It seems to make a lot of sense, it saves
on bookkeeping but it also helps to shore the cost.
COUNCILMAN IL1ONTESI-Pliney, that Clendon Ridge is really u good one, if the rate there
is three dollars per thousand and the consolidated district is u buck fifty per thousand, as I
the consolidated district grows to a dollar fifty, sixty, seventy, and Clendon Ridge comes
down, as it gets closer, and that's what happen when Tom brought it to our attention, there
were five or six districts that were very close, so we consolidated them. Clendon Ridge would
come in--too but only after they hove paid if you will, their fair share of their capitol cost,
which were high for that...
MR. TUCKER-1 understand...
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-That balancing act is something we look ut every year and as Steve
says I think there's five left that aren't consolidated but that is a big improvement over having
twelve or thirteen.
i
MR. TUCKER-This formula will not apply to on area that is already developed and they decide
that they wont to form a water district, correct?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-It will apply to any new water district extension, is that correct?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Right. This is designed to apply to only extension districts. if you hove
o sepurote district, like Hilund Pork is a separate district, they wouldn't be effected by this
formula.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-See some extensions require a greut deal of capital investment.
For instance, if you were going to put in a new district, something that the residents not
the developer wonted, but the residents wanted, it be a tremendous amount of capital cost
for putting that pipe in the ground, that the developer wasn't going to pay for and that group
of people would shore that burden just like Clendon Ridge. This is a smaller extension. We're
looking at maybe doing a mop, plan and report for Easy Street and Eldridge Avenue, again
small developments that can handle this type of capital expenditure, and that's one that we'll
hove to weigh the capitol cost on that one because we'll be putting the piping, not the developer.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-True. That should be coming before us fairly quickly.
AIR. TUCKER-Thank you.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. Okay that takes cure of the public hearings. We hove
u resolution related to that.

OPEN FORUM .
32
HENR Y HEYA1-Owner of the CGstoway Morino, LGke George. Would like the Town Board
to reconsider the use of port-u-johns in the Town of Queensbury.
Mit-11IATIN-Noted Local Low No. 2 of 1987, prohibiting port-u-johns for permanent use other
than five day events or construction sites.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I thought there was some talk of consideration for allowing these
on a temporary basis while a permanent system was being put in?
MR. IIATIN-1 drafted that together for the Town Attorney and waiting for him to look it
over.
MR. HEYM-That won't help me. My problem is that I have a permanent facility that I allow
my patrons to use, but would like the port-o-john available for everyone else's use. It is basically
needed on the weekends four months out of the year.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA--1 would support this for the marina's. I would hope the Board and
Town Attorney could put something together to allow these.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Noted concern over not having sanitary facilities in the port-u-johns.
AIR. HEYM-Noted that he questioned the person who takes cure of my port-o-john on whether
or not G sink could be provided. He told me that sinks can be built in, that they can have
holding tanks for fresh water and that they can be maintained.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Agree that we take a look at the Local Low and investigate the possibilities.
Possibly Mr. Hotin could do some research and submit a written report for us.
AIR. PLINEY TUCKER-Referred to previous discussion and resolution regarding Queensbury
Control Volunteer Fire Company. Where in the Town of Queensbury are they contracted
to fight fire?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-They are contracted to respond to alarms anywhere in the Town of
Queensbury. They have an immediate response neighborhood or area, as does each of the
five fire companies.
AIR. TUCKER-Questioned the figuring of the pay scale for the two upcoming appointments
of account clerk Gnd deputy fire marshal.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The pay scale for the senior account clerk has been recommended
Gt the some rate us the union contract ca//s for, for a senior account clerk.
AIR. TUCKER-Referred to discussion at previous Board meeting regarding affordable housing.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-There is a general comment from the public that we need affordable
housing. We have not token it upon ourselves as the Town Board to go out and create this
housing. We hove been contacted by several developers who indicate that they want to provide
GffordGble housing.
AIR. TUCKER-1 think it's great if there's a demand but not if there's no need.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 feel it should be noted that the Town will not be building anything.
IndividuGls soy there is o need. I personally think there is a need. The developer will be providing
the funding, not the Town.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-If this causes a developer to request u break in density for this
kind of housing Gnd the Board wishes to grunt that, I feel strongly that the Planning Department
should determine what oreGs Gre best going to be served us affordable housing and specific
criterias for this offordGble housing set up in advance. I feel there should be clot of homework
and ground work done by this Town Board and the Planning Department.
COUNCILMAN K UROSAKA--Alot of people think that affordable housing is subsidizing housing,
subsidize by government. If the state government wants to do subsidize housing, I'm o/I for
it, but I'rn not for the Town funding subsidizing.
SUPER VISOR BOR GOS-We ore ull concerned. We see the need to provide housing for people
who can't Gfford expensive housing so we're trying to gather G// the possible information.
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Noted the sludge that was dumped on the roots of the trees at
llovey Pond Gnd expressed concern in the amount of trees thGt111 be killed because of the
cGrelessness of the contractor.
3 `
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Noted thct two businesses on Route 9, Long John Silver's cnd Pizzc.-
Hut huve requested thct there be cn extension of the sewer line so cs to provide them with
the sewer service. P(-ul is looking into this cnd will provide us with r legc.'l opinion.
DISCUSSION held regc.rding proposed CA Collins Grovel Pit in Fort Ann cnd the position
of the Town Bocrd. Agreed thct Town Attorney Pc-u/ Dusek cttend the APA herrings, present
the position of the Town Bocrd cnd mcke them c.wrre of the Town's concerns of the imposts
effecting the Town of Queensbury with the use of Lee York, Senior Plrnner to testify on
behclf of the Town.
UPER VISOR BORGOS-A couple of people hove celled to my rttention, r portion of rnd I
/LS on the rcdio yesterdcy cnd I got r little of this. A portion of whit I scid rt c meeting
.-7 Hudson Fells, I believe on June 29th rt r joint meeting of the Wcrren Wrshington County
Bocrd of Supervisors relc.ted to the siting of the lrndfill. A little bit wrs in the newspc.per,
c little bit cane over the radio yesterdc.y. A few people hive tc.lked to me including one
unhe,ppy person who sat in my office for c while. Wheat I scid ct thc.t meeting, I should mcke
it clecr, obviously I'd like to get your comments. I wclked into the meeting Cnd with out j
cnybody in the meeting knowing whc.'t the right things were going to be for lrndfill siting
for the two county rrec.. People were me.king comments. The engineer, C.T. ML-le, hc.d the 1
written recommendc.tion th0 the Queensbury site of our present lrndfill be cbso/ute/y dropped
from the list of possible sites. Becruse it is over send rnd grovel c.nd essenticlly cn rquifer. j
I wised my hcnd to mcke the stctement thrt, clthough it is, thrt is rlso the ruse of r number
of plcces where the stcte has grunted c permit. I think thct we should rerlize, c.t lec.st this
is my person(/ feeling, thct this Icndfill hrs been there for r long time, thirty yecrs or forty I
yecrs or however long. i rec.11y don't like some of the setting for the present lrndfill but it
is there. We hove hod monitoring wells there for yens. We tc.ke routine mecsurements.
[tile hove, to my knowledge, never hod c.ny concern of rnything thrt hrs been discovered in
the monitoring book. All reports gyre on file. We've rsked for c.n rnrlysis thrt everybody
indicctes we are well below every possible level of things thrt we get concerned(bout. Thut
is without my kind of r liner. Now, under the new stc.te regulctions, which ever lrndfill gets
built, where ever it is built, hrs to be built according to the perk 360 regulctions, which would
require c double liner, leech collection system, cnd c, whole host of protection measures thc.'t
would ensure c' very good Icndfill. Fc.r better cnd fcr srfer then whet we hove now, which
doesn't cppeur to our knowledge to be ccusing cny problems. It's c.lso the frct thrt right now
we he,ve stcte roods Iecding to it, if proper routing is done, minimal impccts on c.rec residents.
t the tresh plcnt is built, cnd this is pert of the whole picture cnd I did not vote for the trrsh
!ie.nt, it is a mutter of fcct thct we ore trying just to get things us low cost cs possible now.
=f the trc.sh plcnt is built c.nd Wrshington County then begins to hru/ to whc.tever lrndfill
site there is, there will be relctively less muterirl going to the Icndfill, substrntirlly less.
There will be c. greet recycling progrc.m first, r re-use progrcm, then some will be burned
cnd whet ccn't be burned or cc.n't be re-used or recycled will go to the Icndfill (.long with
some pcper sludge. So it wrs my recommendction thct with those conditions thct we sc.y
thct we rre not like everybody else, cnd not in my bc.-ckyLrd, we'll soy sure, we generc.te it,
we should be responsible for getting rid of it. We've got the lend or can Lcquire the Irnd,
we ought to do it here, with call those sc.feguc.rds. I did not stc.-te in public session of thct
meeting, but I did c memo right c.fter it cnd I believe etch member of the Bocrd hrs received
thct memo. Now, Mr. Robertson, cnd the newspcper might went to report this, this is new
cnd hcsn't been told to the public. Reminding him of the conversc.-tion thct we hod mc.ny
months ego, th.ct if the landfill were to be built c.t our present Icndfill site, I would strongly
recommend that cs pert of the construction cost of thct &-ndfi/l, the (Jueensbury Town WLter
supply be extended to that crec cnd to call residents within one mile, within ut le(--St one mile
Of thct locution. This would protect them from c.ny concern, I hope my concern of groundwc.-ter
pollution. I further indiccted thct I believe a subsidy of fifty percent of whit they normrlly
would pGy for water, be paid us pert of the lrndfill operction expense. This then should t(.-ke
core of the problem, but we don't think there is c. problem rnywc.y but just to mcke everybody
happy, they would hove Town water cnd it would only be c very, very moderc.-te cost. Now `
G few minutes later c.fter I scid that, Mr. Rotr from Wrshington County scid now we tcke
the bypcss mcteriul cnd the paper sludge cnd the rsh from the tresh plrnt up there cnd I scid, I
excuse me, just c. minute, I went to interrupt, this is the first discussion I've hec.rd Lbout rsh
wing ,mixed with everything else in the some p lice. I did miss one or two meetings, I think
the meeting (,bout c month ago where c,pperently they tclked rbout rsh rnd I made it very
*leur then Lnd I'll mcke it clec.r now, thct I hove not formed r personrl opinion (about the
c.sh residue from the tresh plant coming to our Icndfill c.nd I certcinly went to do c. greet
decal more investigation before I recommend bringing the c.sh up here. I think the other mrterirls
could come here, ell other things being equcl rnd provided thct everything wrs done properly.
Thct is the position of token. I'm rnxious to hec.r the Town Bocrd positions. I know Mrs.
Monc.hrn wanted me to mike thct clew. The man who cane to my office seemed hippy when
he left because we would be reducing the number of trucks, reducing the rmount of stuff
going in cnd I'm not c.t this moment supporting rsh ct thct locution c.nd I trlked cbout wrter.
I wanted to say that, that might stir up some interest.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 guess Steve 1 hove some questions. The pcper mentioned five
34
hundred acres. We don't hove five hundred acres, I don't know where you can even get five
hundred acres in that oreo.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 indicated, when asked about that, that I believe there could be acquired
in the oreo, approximately two to three hundred ucres, could be acquired. There is about
two or three hundred...
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-In addition to what we've got?
r
SUPERVISOR BOR GOS-A total of two to three hundred acres. The engineer's concurred
that there was that much vacant land in that urea.
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Which is about half of their recommendation. Aguin we ore talking
about thut being on aquifer and you're talking about bringing water to that area within o mile.
We don't know how for the effects of that aquifer reach and to what wells. Thirdly, I would
want to see o very tight projection on the number of trucks that are going to be going there,
the volume, if the volume is going to reach anywhere's near what we're taking there right
now, were in a losing battle. 1 would wont a commitment definitely on the roods that are r
going to be used and there are clot of unanswered questions. You talked about affordoble
housing, people said we wont to know more information, I'm saying before anybody goes out
on o limb offering that landfill or that burn plant, I'd like to know the types of materials that j
are going there, the routes, the volume, the hours of operation those trucks are going to run
and a whole slew of others. Because I know the lives of the people up there hove been made I
miserable by the hours that the trucks ore going now there to some of those places. The
people who con't even use their front /owns, they can't use their telephones with the windows j
open, and there is on awfully lot to consider, frankly. i
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 agree wholeheartedly. My talking there was to keep us in the running
pending the determination of all these others. What the proposal from the engineer was,
was to take us out of the running entirely.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 think it would satisfy the people over in that area very much
if they'd been token right out of the running.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-At this moment.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-You know what the people of West Glens Fulls says, we had one
Sherman Island...Shermon Avenue, we don't want another one. I think thut's what you're going
to hear from those people over there.
SUPERVISOR BURGOS-My concern is that if we don't have a place fairly close to where
we generate this trash to bring it, we're going to puy so much to haul our trash and dispose
of it, its just going to be outrageously expensive and tuxpuyers can't possibly afford the burden.
But with the proper ossurunces that you are talking about and the scientific documentation,
we could then have o real treasure here. We could hove something thut's close, it's successful,
it's big enough, with all the proper monitoring and with everything else taking care of...
COUNCILMAN AJONAI-IAN-I question the state of the art on the burn plant, frankly and
question the state, you know, are we going in the right direction, I'm not talking about Queensbury,
I'm talking about the government. Because what they came in with the burn plant, now there
(,re going to be a lot of cut backs and the volume needed, not the volume needed but in the
volume that should be going in there because of recycling and so on and so forth which is
going to probably mean importation of gurboge from other areas. I do also want to remind
you we do hove on our books, on ordinance about taking in garbage from other arees.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Absolutely.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-So this double liner muy be the state of the art but I'm afraid
it may be just the same thing that happened to Queensbury's ...lundfiil. That wus done us
o state of the art and two yeurs later somebody changed their mind on the whole thing. So
nothing is fool proof or fool sore, that they have come up with yet, the linings, these...nothing.
You talk to all the experts and they'll tell you that.
SUPERVISOR B OR GOS-A nyone else wish to comment ubout the landfill?
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-One of the things that frustrates me uboyt government is for people
who give lip service to everything, nobody making a commitment. There are so many things
that are directly in front of us now and probably one of the major ones is garbage. I think
you've summarized it well Steve, when you said that we're the most populated community
in Warren Washington County. We make the most garbage. I think obviously recycling is
manduted and something that should have been leading the puck about that over u year ago.
I really feel that along with recycling and the burn plant, you ore going to have garbage.
35
I don't have a problem with the comments that you made because I don't think you've committed
this Town or this Board to anything. I think my interpretation of what you did was to leave
the discussions open and come to us with proposals with the option of this Board to except
or reject them. I don't want the door closed because I don't want the financial responsibility
nor the moral responsibility of sending the garbage out of Queensbury to somebody else.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 think that's great Lynn and I suggest maybe you put it in your
areG over there, going to the developers, your legal place for a garbage pit over there. I'm
sure the people in my area would be very happy if you do that.
COUNCILMAN MONTESi-1 would wholeheartedly support the fact that we generate it, we
Gve to be responsible for taking care of it. I feel strongly that we could be on the leading
—dge with some forms of recycling. I know you've worked hard. There are some sites we're
looking Gt that may prove to put us on the leading edge of recycling. But ultimately we need
G place for some landfill and we're going to have to bite the bullet and find it, develop it j
and we're going to have to do within our own community. 1 think we'll tax the people right
out of existence in terms of the cost. Where that is at this point, you make a strong point,
1 cGn only tell you that the Association of Town's meetings, a Town down in Broom County
faced all of these difficulties and fought a bottle for two or three years. They weren't aggressively
pursuing a landfill in their Town but they we're told it was going to be in their Town. Ultimately
when they saw that they were going to lose the battle, what they did do was negotiate the
way, I think you're negotiating, with the County and the State.and whoever else is involved
and said, we want water for a mile radius Ground this. Obviously you have the aquifer recharge,
can't be chartered, by golly a mile around that would give us a pretty good handle in terms
of the direction that we're going. They also got the County and the State to pay for G1l road
paving Gnd upgrading in and about that landfill because of the impact vn,traffic. They got
G concession for their tax payers on the cost of trash because they were going to hove the
landfill in their Town, just as they might have G burn plant, they ought to be given some consideration
for excepting that. The total package that the Town of Kirkwood received from Broom County i
was a twenty million dollar package over ten years. If I can only give you the kind of indication,
I'd say, let's negotiate very hard with the County and or any other bodies that you need to
Grid we're going to do something in our Town and we're going to except the responsibility
of controlling our destiny, we ought to be paid for it.
`UPERVISOR BORGOS-It could be another site in the Town.
;OUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 just wish that you people would talk about the aquifer that have
springs that I've been attending the meeting of the Warren County Soil Conservation, it showed
what happened when there was a crack in the clay Gnd how the water travels Gnd travels
and travels for miles. So you know when you talk about you are going to protect with u mile,
my feeling is, it's bologna.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The engineer at this point does not recommend in any way, any kind
of a water supply in any of these Greos. He has listed a bunch of things he thought would
be good. I've tossed in this concern for water, us of...
COUNCIL-MAN MONAIIAN-But as I say, G mile away doesn't mean a thing.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Maybe we can settle on three miles or five miles but...
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-We shouldn't settle on anything until somebody figures out where
it's going to travel.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Right and the point is, in Gll probability, DEC won't approve this
site anyway, but I think we ought to take a shot at it to help our residents. Maybe there is
,o site in ward 4, maybe there is a site in ward 4 that will be, or ward 3....1 don't think we
ought to close the door on it, on Gnything until we've looked at it all.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Can we move on?
UPE_RVISOR BORGOS-1 Gppreciote the discussion but this is the kind of thing where I have
_io kind of represent you at the County level so it is important to know...
SUPERVISOR BORGOS read letter from Highway Superintendent, Paul H. Naylor, regarding
verbal requests received on behalf of John Burke Drive. Discussion held and agreed to make
recommendation to the Sheriff's Department to increase patrol. (letter on file)
