Supervisor Solomon discussed the fact that there will be no raise
in the Town Tax Rate for the year 1970. The following statement
was read by the Supervisor.
. . . . . .NO TAX RATE INCREASE FOR QUEENSBURY TAXPAYERS . . . . . .
A review of the preliminary budget for 1970 indicated that the
Town of Queensbury will not have a tax rate increase for next
year in spite of a loss of over 5,000 in State Aid and a
$20,000.00 increase in the Police budget.
The 1969 tax rate was $10. 73 per thousand of assessed valuation
and the new 1970 tax rate will be the same, pending compilation
of Veterans and Old age tax exemptions.
Highlights of the preliminary budget include an increase of
over 60% in the Police budget including two (2) more full time
road patrolmen, a 15% increase in the Recreation budget for
an expanded program and a 20% increase for fire protection to
underwrite contracts with the 5 fire companies.
A significant factor in being able to hold the line on tax in-
creases the past two years, has been the tremendous growth
taking place in the town--mostly in industrial and commercial
tax base. The Town of Queensbury now far surpasses the City
Of Glens Falls in tax base and now represents over 40% of the
entire value of Warren County.
Building permits issued on industrial and commercial property
not yet completed indicates that next years growth should
again help to deter rising taxes in the Town of Queensbury.
Councilman Robertson discussed the proposed Budget. Mr. Robertson
stated that salaries for elected officials has remained the same
as the year 1969. The proposed change in salary for the Supervisor
was discussed by Councilman Robertson.
Supervisor Solomon discussed the planned appropriation of $13,000.00
for the year 1970 for the City of Glens Falls - Crandall Library.
301
Councilman Robertson stated that, due to rising costs in handling
the library operation, the Town Board is planning to increase
the proposed appropriation to $14,000.00 for the Library in the
year 1970.
Mr. Herbert Garrand was granted the floor. Mr. Garrand urged that
the present town tax- rate be held stable for year 1970
Councilman Demboski discussed the fact that the budget has been
reduced as mush as seems possible at this time.
Mrs. Thomas Quinn commended the Town Board for a budget which will
keep town taxes down to normal.
