PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COUNCILWOMAN CATHERINE ATHERDEN 1.0 RESOLUTION ENTERING QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION CALLING FOR QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION NO.: 228, 2018 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Anthony Metivier WHO MOVED FOR ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mrs. Catherine Atherden RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby adjourns from Regular Session and enters into the Queensbury Board of Health. Duly adopted this 18th day of June, 2018 by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Metivier, Mrs. Atherden, Mr. Ferone, Mrs. Switzer, Mr. Strough NOES: None ABSENT: None NOTICE SHOWN PUBLICATION DATE: JUNE 8, 2018 SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, this is a property on 23 Jay Road, owned by Gary and Susan Higley. We're having a public hearing on it tonight. They're asking for, it's an already an existing system. It was discovered, I'm not sure how or what or what happened, Mr. Higley's here and might explain that to us; but they're asking for two variances. The existing drywell is 142.4 feet from the existing well, instead of the required 150 foot setback, and the existing drywell is 147.6 feet from the neighboring well that was installed by the neighbors just April 13th of last year, instead of the required REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-18-2018, MTG 424 21 150 foot setback. Okay, any questions from the Town Board? Mr. Higley is here, I'm sure he would be pleased to come forward and respond to any questions you may have in regards to this. GARY HIGLEY- Good evening, Gary Higley, 31 Chestnut Ridge Road, Queensbury, New York. We are doing an interior remodel. Because it is lakefront property, we needed a variance to do the renovations. That's why I'm here tonight. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- So you're doing some renovations and discovered that you have a pre- existing septic system and it looks like it was installed but they didn't measure exactly right. MR. HIGLEY- It was installed years ago. My parents owned the property for 30 years and when they passed away Susan and I bought it from them. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah. MR. HIGLEY- So it's an existing system that's been updated through the years. It's a 1,000 gallon tank with a pump up system to two drywells at the top of the driveway. All the drainage pipes have been replaced or moved. New covers have been put on, there's an alarm system. It's a good system. Our options on the application it says could we do this without a variance? Yes, we could. But we would be putting leach fields in that would be 100 feet from the well and much closer to the lake than the existing 150 feet drywells or 142 feet drywells that are there. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I understand. MR. HIGLEY- We feel the variances actually are a more logical way to go than putting in the leach fields. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I understand it's functioning fine. MR. HIGLEY- Yes. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Any questions for Mr. Higley while he is up here? GEORGE FERONE- I think the requests are minimum when you are talking about... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright. Thank you, Mr. Higley. Anybody from the public wish to speak to this sanitary sewage disposal variance request? Seeing no member of the public that wishes to speak to that and no more Town Board discussion on the matter, may I have a motion to approve? PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.

Duly adopted this 181h day of June, 2018, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Ferone, Mrs. Switzer, Mr. Strough, Mr. Metivier, Mrs. Atherden NOES: None ABSENT: None 2.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS NOTICE SHOWN PUBLICATION DATE: JUNE 8, 2018 SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, this is an update on the contract, no different than we did for Central. It's just updating the contract to be in accord with state law. John Hodgkins found an error and we corrected that. John, thank you. They're proposing a three year budget that's approximately one half percent growth for the next three years, 2018, 2019, 2020. This will be retroactive for the year 2018. Alright, there is a public hearing on this. Would any member of the public like to speak to the 2018-2020 Fire Protection Service Agreement between the Town of Queensbury and North Queensbury Volunteer Fire Company? JOHN HODGKINS- I'd just like to make a couple of comments, John Hodgkins, Treasurer of North Queensbury. The budget is three years; it's a flat budget, $344,500 each of the three years, which is about a percent and a half increase from the previous budget that came up. A little history here...over the past 10 years, North Queensbury has only raised the budget by five percent total over a 10 year period from $328,000 to $344,500. At the same time fire budgets have gone up about 41%. So we've kept fairly flat budget characteristics. We have at this time no debt although we are taking a truck on in the next few years, and all the equipment is in great shape... SUPERVISOR STROUGH. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, you do a nice job, thank you, John. Any questions for John while he is up? Seeing none, any other member of the public wish to speak? Yes, sir. TRAVIS WHITEHEAD- Travis Whitehead, Queensbury. My question is the same as before, why is this retroactive and why aren't we looking at things in the time they are supposed to be looked at, and why aren't we looking at consolidation? Thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Anybody else? REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-18-2018, MTG 424 24 MR. HODGKINS- Can I make a response to the question? Again, John Hodgkins. The question of consolidation has come up a couple of times. We thought about it, a few of us talked about this and it was in EMS and also in fire. Number one, fire is about location. You have to have equipment within a certain amount of location. Two, these are volunteer fire companies. When you go to consolidate what's the purpose? I mean you've got zero salaries going out. If you reduce people, if you say hey, we're not going to have something over here then all that is going to happen is you are going to have less volunteers; because you volunteer by location. There are three or four school districts that's represented in the Town of Queensbury, sixty square miles. We're in four different zip codes so each one has their own little name to their community. I mean there's South Queensbury, there's West Glens Falls, Queensbury Central, North Queensbury, Bay Ridge. We're all separate names and little separate communities so when you look at something and someone brings up the word consolidation, it actually might cost you money. All of the sudden you put things together and somebody says boy, instead of spending five hours a week doing something I've got to spend 20, maybe I need a paycheck. That can cost money...just a thought... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Thank you. COUNCILMAN METIVIER- It's important to note too, that as an insurance guy, you have to have a fire department every five miles to a dwelling or you cannot get obtain insurance, period. I mean, yeah you can but to go to that channel or that route it's extraordinarily expensive so you know that fact that we have these fire companies that are staggered and protect us within that five mile radius helps a homeowner with their insurance policies. We're talking not just a little bit of money; we're talking a lot of money. If I had to be in a PC-10 which is over five miles to a fire department with no water source, there's only two or three companies that would even write you at three times what you would pay if you went to a regular carrier. So, it's important to know that there's a lot more to this than consolidating and throwing everybody in Bay Ridge because it is centrally located. It's not going to work. The other thing with John Salvador a couple of weeks ago, with the insurance, believe me, I was a proponent of putting the insurance under one umbrella. You cannot do that. These are their own companies. You cannot insure West Glens Falls under Bay Ridge's Fire insurance. It does not work, they will not allow it. So we can't, believe me, I wanted to do this, we cannot do it. The system works, we're still paying less than the City of Glens Falls for our fire services even though they're only four square miles and we're 78 square miles. We're not doing things wrong. Can we do it better? Perhaps, but it would come at a price. MR. HODGKINS- I agree, it will come... and each fire company has its unique needs. Central needs the tower truck, they have bigger buildings, they've got to be able...they've got to be able to react to some different types of fires or happening than we have; North Queensbury, we have a fire boat, 20 miles of shoreline we have to... we do not have any hydrants. We have to transport our water from one location to another. Other parts of the Town have hydrants. Everybody has their unique needs to parts of the community, a unique piece of apparatus; It's up to us to do our best to keeping our budgets square and not wasting taxpayers' dollars. It all comes in...the people of North Queensbury realize that the most because right now we're picking up about 27% of the tab for the community. I mean that's just the way the assessment works. We keep our budget nice and low so we hope everybody else does too. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay thank you, John. COUNCILWOMAN SWITZER- I just want to add what you brought here tonight, giving a little bit more explanation, the number of years you've had to the Town. I think sometimes that's part of the problem is that the public doesn't know enough about how fire protection is structured in the Town of Queensbury and hearing from somebody who has done it for so long and has had the background that you do is helpful and makes people understand a little bit more about what it costs the Town and why it costs the Town the money that it does to protect our citizens. So thanks. MR. HODGKINS- You're welcome. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And if we compare our fire protection to other towns of equal magnitude and similar situations, we have a pretty good deal. One of the things too that I've noticed is what keeps the volunteers together is each group has its own social grouping. Some of the guys join not only to help the community and that's number one but it also gives you some comradery and some socialization and you make friends and I think that's all part of it too and that's why it stays volunteer. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-18-2018, MTG 424 25 MR. HODGKINS- And there's no question, that's why I had to bring up that you could volunteers that way. I mean people up on our community go to Lake George Schools, they don't go to Queensbury Schools...so you are starting off at that level. There are parts that go to Glens Falls. People don't realize that there are different communities within this community. It's a fairly big area. It's a solid a half an hour driving from one side of this Town to the other side of this Town. So, it's not a simple process where we say hey we put it all together. Really people work hard at trying to make savings...there's rules in our contract that say we go out for bid. If you go into the individual rules/ bylaws of the companies, they have rules intact there too where they have to put things out for bid. Right now the County actually is working on a process where they can do some group buying and some of our members went to visit on that and see how they can reduce some of the costs by looking at items that might come up. So, I think that's maybe a small area where somethings will be reduced as cost. Generally, by consolidating I don't believe that's where your main savings are going to come from. They are doing a pretty good job. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay thank you, John. The other thing too is we started this in 2017 with a legal team and the Association of Towns gave us a heads up saying listen I'll bet that a lot of you and your contracts with your relative fire companies and your fire protection districts are not up to date in terms of State Law and so forth. Alright, so we started that process and never got back, we changed legal teams and you had 800 things to catch up on, this is one of them, and here we are with the two contracts that were due this year. Now the contracts that are due next year will go a lot smoother because we nailed this process and Bob Hafner has done a lot of research on this and now the contracts are compliant with State Law, okay, but it took a while to get there. Alright, anything else from the Board? Yes, sir. TOM ROSS- I'm sorry, Tom Ross, Queensbury. I just wanted to say a couple of things about it. First of all, North Queensbury, I think is the star fire company because they've got a fantastic treasurer. John Hodgkins was a client of mine for many years and I could never get a nickel past him. The one thing I do want to say, Tony, I don't believe you have to consolidate the physical location if you consolidate. In Glens Falls, for example, they have their fire department but if you go out to Luzerne Road, there is another little one, two stall out there. They have others around Town. I don't believe you have to consolidate the physical location. I think one of the things you might want to consider doing, because not all of your companies are as tightly managed and constructively managed as North Queensbury, maybe you want to consider at some point, hiring an independent, and I'm not talking about paying $25,000 or any of that stuff But, somebody who's independent to take a look at what possibly could be...you don't have to do all or nothing, I mean maybe there is something in the middle where you can...I'm not familiar with the insurance clause so I'm not going to touch that one. But I'm certain that in terms of products and other things there could be some minor savings. I know at the last meeting one of the points that was made is that North Queensbury had the fewest calls of any of the companies. Well, that's because half the residents are gone for half the year, you know, on the Lake. But, for the years that my firm did the audit, when Dan Stec was in place and a couple years of John's, I mean except for one company, which got straightened out, we never found excess spending or anything like that in the companies. I mean overall, they are well managed. My biggest concern would be if John thinks he could lose some volunteers. Right now, that's kind of a crisis situation, people aren't volunteering anymore. I presume that's true from what I've read and everything. It might pay to put it...I think one of the big disappointments I've always had with the Town for years, not necessarily just Mr. Strough, is that when issues like this come up or others, you never seem to want to go out and see if there's some expertise that isn't going to charge you a lot of money. For example, I'm a retired CPA, I can look at a set of financial statements and I can tell certain things. Jennifer might disagree; she knows I'm a tax guy. Form some committees, advisory committees so when budget time comes and you want to take a look at things. You know, there's a bunch of CPA's and Financial Advisors around the community that can give you some real expertise, not that you don't have it, because you're all pretty experienced, but you ought to give some thought to that. There's a lot out there. For example, at the moment for...I'm not going to say, I'm reviewing the Warren County Financial Statements. I see things that I say why, I don't understand this. It doesn't mean there's any misleading or anything, but they just aren't right. There's things in there, but I think with regards to the fire companies, I don't want to take up your time, with regard to the fire companies, I think again with North Queensbury, in particular, that's a solid organization that is run financially. I mean to only have the increases they've had over 10 years and what they are projecting for the next three, that's probably unbelievable. It should be used as a model. Thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, thank you. Anybody else from the public like to speak to this? Seeing none, Town Board Members, any other thoughts?
