Duly adopted this 7th day of August, 2017, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Strough, Mr. Metivier, Mr. Clements, Mr. Brewer NOES: None ABSENT: Mr. Irish 2.0 PUBLIC HEARING 2.1 PUBLIC HEARING — WEST GLENS FALLS EMERGENCY SQUAD, INC.'S PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE AMBULANCE AND USE TAX-EXEMPT FINANCING FOR SUCH PURCHASE PUBLICATION DATE: JULY 21, 2017 DAN SILVEY, West Glens Falls EMS Treasurer-My name is Dan Silvey, I am an EMT and Analyst Tech as well as Treasurer for West Glens Falls Emergency. The squad currently has two vehicles that are, one is an `09 and the other is a `10, they are roughly seven (7) and eight (8) years old each. Both are high maintenance vehicles so we're requesting that we receive this tax exempt interest loan through Adirondack Trust. The squad is looking to finance an amount for eighty-five thousand ($85,000.00). We will fund the remaining cost of the vehicle through squad funds which twenty-five thousand ($25,000.00) will come from donations that we received and the remainder will come from our operating accounts. The interest rate for the loan is going to be three percent (3%), the term is five (5) years, sixty (60) months and so we're looking at a payment of roughly fifteen twenty-seven (1527) per month. The bank will officiate that once we move forward. The reason for the request is both vehicles over the last few years have cost us extensive amount in maintenance costs to the tune of nearly forty thousand (40,000) per year. So REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 08-07-2017,MTG 924 8 we're thinking that by replacing one of these ambulances, the cost will be roughly eighteen thousand (18,000) from operating funds to finance the vehicle and then of course there will still be maintenance costs for our vehicles but we're hoping that those maintenance costs can be maintained for about eighteen thousand (18,000) per year so hopefully we will save five (5) or six thousand (6,000) in terms of maintenance costs by the acquisition of this vehicle. COUNCILMAN BREWER-And what kind of maintenance would you do for eighteen thousand (18,000) a year? MR. SILVEY-There was some actual motor work that was done through Carmody Ford. COUNCILMAN BREWER-So you don't presume that that will happen again though next year do you? MR. SILVEY-No, no. COUNCILMAN BREWER-So than that should be lower than eighteen thousand (18,000). MR. SILVEY-It should be but I am trying to be ... COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I understand, I am just trying to understand why you've got the number so high, that's all. MR. SILVEY-Yea. So, as you are well aware, we're the busiest agency in the town, we're actually the busiest agency I believe within Mountain Lakes and of all agencies that are north of Clifton Park for Saratoga County. We're handling, we're being toned for about thirty-five hundred (3500) calls per year so there's a lot of stop and go time that's put on our vehicles. They are responding, as I said, to many calls as a result there is a maintenance cost that's associated with that. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-So these vehicles are go, go, go all of the time. COUNCILMAN BREWER-Oh, no question about that. MR. SILVEY-They are, stop and go. The vehicles are stop and go, our radius is a short time to the hospital so we're not putting distance mileage on our vehicles, we're putting wear and tear because we're stopping at mini stop lights and major intersections within our Town. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay. Well, thank you Dan. I am going to open the public hearing and let's see if anybody has a question about this particular resolution. Is there any member of the public, I will open the public hearing, is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to the authorization of West Glens Falls Emergency Squad's proposal to purchase an ambulance and authorizing incurrence of a tax-exempt financing for that purchase? NO PUBLIC COMMENT SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Alright, seeing none. Any Town Board members have any questions of Dan while he's up? COUNCILMAN BREWER-Just one, it's says you're going to buy a K-3500, that's a pickup. It's a van isn't it? MR. SILVEY-It is a van. COUNCILMAN BREWER-Okay, so that should be like a G or something. MR. SILVEY-They're referring to Tim, the chassis of the vehicle. COUNCILMAN BREWER-Right, got you. MR. SILVEY-The box. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 08-07-2017,MTG 924 9 COUNCILMAN BREWER-That comes extra, from a different vendor. You're going to buy cab and chassis, correct? MR. SILVEY-That's correct. COUNCILMAN BREWER-Okay. MR. SILVEY-So the chassis is a Chevrolet. COUNCILMAN BREWER-Right, one ton chassis. Okay. MR. SILVEY-... it's a good vehicle. COUNCILMAN BREWER-No questions at all about whether it is or not. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-2017 Chevy K-3500, a total price not to exceed one sixty-nine five (169,500) and COUNCILMAN BREWER-You previously had Fords, didn't you? MR. SILVEY-The two (2) vehicles we currently have, you know the extended life there, the ones that are eight (8) and seven (7) years old, they're both Fords. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-So you get a ten thousand dollar ($10,000.00) trade in for the old one? MR. SILVEY-That's correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-So, it will be one fifty-nine five (159,500) and then you're putting in twenty-five thousand (25,000) from donations. MR. SILVEY-Correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-And forty-four thousand five hundred (44,500) from the current budget and the rest as you pointed out, eighty-five (85) to ninety thousand (90,000) be tax- exempt financing. MR. SILVEY-Correct, from Adirondack Trust. TOWN COUNSEL KARA LAIS-Did you say the term was five (5) years? MR. SILVEY-It is, sixty (60) months. TOWN COUNSEL LAIS-I think you should just amend the resolution so it says five (5), not five (5) to seven (7). COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-It says five (5) to seven (7) in the ... SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yea it says five (5) to seven (7) so I mean that leaves the option open for them. I mean he said five but ... TOWN COUNSEL LAIS-But ... MR. SILVEY-But we are pretty much going to edge it, I am sorry John, we're going to edge it in stone for five (5) years, sixty (60) months. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Alright, well, like I said, I don't think it makes a difference because this is five (5) to seven (7) so five (5) is an option for you. TOWN COUNSEL LAIS-I only raise it, if the useful life of the vehicle is five (5) years, then that's all they can finance it for under the local finance law. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 08-07-2017,MTG 924 10 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Alright so we will just scratch to seven (7) if that's okay. So, when you make a motion. COUNCILMAN BREWER-I will make a motion to approve it. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-As amended? COUNCILMAN BREWER-Correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-A second? COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-I will second it. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Seconded by Brian Clements. Motion made by Councilman Tim Brewer, roll call vote on this please Caroline?
