I appreciate you coming here today, I am hoping that as many of you will continue to come to our meetings and take part in our local government. Lastly, a huge thank you to my family and to the people in the audience. I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. COUNCILMAN FERONE (WARD III)- I am honored to be serving Ward III and the Town of Queensbury. I bring about 45 years of practical business from a Fortune 500 company. I want to serve with honor, integrity and above all honesty to the best of my ability; and these are not just words but principles I live by. During my 30 years of living in Queensbury, I have served on a number of boards. In serving on these boards I have found that these boards work very collaboratively towards achieving the goals of the organization. I'd like to see this Board, and I know I will, see this Board working collaboratively to meet the goals and achievements that the Town is looking to make. We have a very diverse Board. If you look at the experience of the people sitting up here, Councilwoman Atherden has the IT background, Councilwoman Switzer with a finance background, Councilman Metivier has an insurance background and I have business administration. I think with Supervisor's Strough's leadership, we are going to get a lot done in the next two years. Thank you. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN (WARD II)- Good morning and Happy New Year. Thank you all for coming. I am very pleased to be here and I am very much looking forward to working with this illustrious group of people as a team, collaborating on behalf of our beautiful Town of Queensbury. Thank you. COUNCILMAN METIVIER (WARD I)- Good Morning, Happy New Year. It has been an interesting year for me, to say the least. I am thrilled to see the results and I cannot wait to work with this Board. This is my sixth term. I think we are going to do wonderful things and as Councilwoman Switzer pointed out, please come to the meetings. We are transparent and you are welcome to the meetings. Please do join us and be part of the Town Government because we are a good government. I think you are going to see great things from us in the next two years, so I look forward to it. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- My report to the Board and community is relatively short because there weren't too many events that were municipally related that I attended (reviewed the meetings and functions that he did attend). I worked in the office and got caught up on a lot of things. I will give my State of the Town Address at the next Regular Town Board Meeting on January 22, 2018. Thank you to Melissa Pagnotta and the Senior Citizens for the cake; I want to invite everyone to join us for refreshments. A special thank you to Assemblyman Dan Stec for performing the swearing in ceremony. I wish you a great 2018, Happy New Year.
