SUPIERVISOR BORGOS-`Phis is a further refinement before we had found some properties that
weree actually hooked to Glens Falls and because of the way the property line between the
City�and the'Town runs a few feet of their property was in the Town they were being assessed
sewer.rent.a though they we in the 'Town although they will never benefit from that. A few
morghave been uncovered, six or eight, they are already hooked up to the Glens Falls Sewer
System we";Ore dealing with several feet. The total charges of all the sewer rents billed to
those peopl is thirty two dollars. It seems only fair and appropriate to look at excluding them.

COUNCILMAN MON'TLSI-The problem I have is the other inclusion in there that calls for exemption
of wetlands, that is a serious one because...
PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-My understanding is that these properties that are added
here are properties that are hooked to the City of Glens Falls already...
COUNCILMAN MON'TESI-You said something about:wetlands that you were going to exclude,
certain pieces... ` .
PAU L DUSEK-TOWN ATTOR"' was part of the sewer rent law motion that was adopted
on the loth.
i
PERVISOR BORGOS-That is going; to public hearing on the 28th.
i
tUL DUSEK-'TOWN ATTOR;1 `Y--On the loth a resolution was passed by the Board which i
basically indicated section 4 i,,ould be amended to add certain properties that would not be
charged because they were hooked to the City of Glens Falls and also that it would be amended
that there was any area in Town that was greater than five acres and had wetlands situated
on it the person would receive credit for the wetlands....the properties that I just described
to you today, what I am trying to do, was to add those properties to the proposed sewer rent
law, to the list you already have in there and then the whole works goes to public hearing and
you will decide on it.
COUNCILMAN PO'TENZA-We are voting for these properties to go to public hearing.
PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-To amend your resolution and the sewer rent law to include
the extra properties and then have the whole sewer rent law as amended and proposed now i
go to public hearing in two weeks.
I
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-My only concern is that there are some areas in Town, I know a
twenty acre parcel that part of it is wet I know something on Bay Road where part of it is
deemed a wetland and it can't all be excluded because part of it is buildable how you work
that credit...
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-That is part of what we will talk about on the 28th. The whole purpose
of today is to add the little parcels ...
1UL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-This resolution that you would pass today will not amend
e sewer rent law as it presently exists, neither did the one that was passed on the 14th what
_does, this is a proposal to amend and then before you can even amend it you have to have
that public hearing and then you will have the resolution to actually amend it. Actually you
will pass a new sewer rent law.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Suppose at the public hearing we decided not to include wetlands?
PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-This gets into the problem that you advertised one thing
and then you are doing something else, but in this case I am of the belief that when you delete
something it is not bad it is when you try to add something new I have a lot of trouble with
that and usually have advised the Board to hold another public hearing, when you just take
something away I do not think then you have to hold a public hearing.
