This is I believe, to help and benefit our citizens. Attorney Dusek-Basically the change is to one section of the law which refers to particular maps of reference that will be made in the event that any of these provisions are used in any part of the town. In your resolution the 3.2 basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard that is the only change. They just wanted us to modify that and add a provision saying, that these documents are adopted and are to be part of the local law and filed with the Building t 535 . and Codes Department. It is really a technical change more than anything else. Supervisor Borgos-Do you feel comfortable with the contents of this new proposal? Attorney Dusek-Yes. I ,don't think it will have an impact on any of our procedures to date it's really just a matter of form. Councilman Montesi-Steve, what was the. . .legislation that prompted the people that live along the river that meets NIMO? Supervisor Borgos-That's in regard to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission proposing to prepare for what's known for a 10,000 year floods. We're dealing with 501s, and 100's, and 5001s, but now their dealing with a 10,000 year flood which has caused NIMO to cancel it's leases with a number of people with camps on the Hudson River. We're getting ready for that big one. Councilman Kurosaka-It's called over kill. Supervisor Borgos-We've decided that when the 10,000 year flood comes nobody will be around to be worried about any lhkes because the roads will be gone the bridges and everything else. Councilman Kurosaka-When the 10,000 year flood comes the northway bridge will come down. Supervisor Borgos-That's the answer to your question. Councilman Montesi-Okay. Thank you. Supervisor Borgos-Anyone wish to speak for or against this proposal? If not we will call the public hearing closed. RESOLUTION TO ENACT LOCAL LAW 7, 1989 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION RESOLUTION NO. 682, 1989,Introduced by Mr. Ronald Montesi who moved for its adoption, seconded by Mrs. Marilyn Potenza: WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Rueensbury is desirous of amending the Local Law No. 10 previously adopted by the Town Board on September 22, 1987, by Resolution No. 303, _ by amending Section 3.2 to read as follows: 3.2 BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD The areas of special flood hazard have been identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a scientific and engineering report entitled "Flood Insurance Study Town of Rueensbury, New York, Warren County" dated January 16, 1984 with Flood Insurance Rate Maps enumerated on Map Index No. 360879 0001-0035 dated July 16, 1984 and with accompanying Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps enumerated on Map Index No. 360879 0001-0035 dated July 16, 1984. The above documents are, hereby, adopted and declared to be a part of this local law and are filed at the Building and Codes Enforcement Office, Queesnbury Town hall, Ruuesnbury, New York. and, WHEREAS, a copy of the proposed amended Local Law with the aforementioned amendment and all original provisions has been presented at this meeting, and WHEREAS, on December 4, 1989, a public hearing with regard to the proposed amended Local Law was duly conducted, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby enacts the proposed amended Local Law, to be known as Local Law No. 10 of 1987, with the remaining provisions of said Local Law remaining unchanged, and the same as presently set forth. Duly adopted this 4th day of December, 1989, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Kurosaka, Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Borgos NOES: None t ABSENT:None (Local Law No. 7, of 1989, attached to the end of minutes) PUBLIC HEARING -AMENDMENT OVER 65 EXEMPTION NOTICE SHOWN Supervisor Borgos-The background on this is that sometime this summer we went through the process of amending our legislation to increase to the maximum allowable by state law the maximum amount of earnings of a individual over 65 may have and still qualify for a tax exemption. In addition to that for the first time we are able to put in a sliding schedule so a that individuals could earn up to $15,625.00 and still qualify for a twenty per cent exemption. Following that we provided the information for the school district and at least Queensbury, I'm not sure about the other schools, did adopt the same schedule. What happen after that was about a week later the state changed it's regulations and increased the maximum by $100.00 in each of the different categories so in order for us to comply and hold to our desire to afford the maximum under state law we've had to redo this and we're having this other hearing now looking at the increase from the maximum. This is where we're at, does anyone wish to speak for or against this or say anything about it? Councilman Montesi-Steve, what kind of a savings does this represent to senior citizens in the community? Supervisor Borgos-Fifty per cent if their income is $12,025.00 or less and it would be twenty per cent of the tax up to $15,625.00. It could amount to fifty per cent of town, the county has now adopted this and the school has adopted this, if your taxed within $1,000.00 you can save $500.00 depending on where your at, it should cover a great many more people. Individuals will have to fill out a special form to qualify for this, the form is easy to fill out, forms will be available in this building and the main office building and we can even mail the forms.

Questioned the new plumbing adopted rule that went into effect November 1st, 1989, and stated he wishes to express their opposition. Councilman Montesi-Questioned if this effects not only residential single family homes, but multifamily, commercial, and industrial? Mr. Albrick-Stated the letter he received states that it includes everything. Supervisor Borgos-His understanding is not that the town is anxious to go out an enforce all of these things, but the law has change and Mr. Hatin's office feels compelled to enforce this. Mr. Albrick-Explained PVC is found to hold long life spans. Councilman Montesi-Asked when you build a slab on grade and put drains in is it necessary to have cast iron? Mr. Albrick-Stated PVC pipe is more than adequate for that application. Councilman Kurosaka-Believes the State Codes says; you're suppose to use cast iron underground under slabs where you can't get at it. Commercial and multifamily were always cast iron. Supervisor Borgos-Asked Attorney Dusek, if Dave Hatin has talked to him about this subject? Attorney Dusek-Briefly. Supervisor Borgos-His understanding it's a local option. ' Mr. Tucker-Showed letter to Board they received from Dave Hatin. Mr. Brian Meurs-Brian R. Meurs Inc., Hudson Falls. Explained that in 1984 when the state came out with a new Building and Fire Prevention Code every township, community within the state had an option to adopt the State Code. Queensbury adopted the State Code, but did not read it thoroughly and realized that they had to change to cast iron, copper, etc., within commercial buildings and residential buildings. Dave Hatin realized in October on a project we were doing we we're requesting something that the town said we could do by adoption, but the engineer said we couldn't by code this is how is came about. What's existing now is a lot of jobs that have been bid by contractors such as myself, we're being told if you bid after November 1st, 1989 you have to go by code. Stated as a group they are saying, they would S-;q . like to see the Town adopt a Local Law to go to PVC. We want what is best for the people trying to buy affordable housing. Mr. Dan Valente-Valente Builders, Queensbury, NY. Stated that he received a letter on November 30th, 1989. Telephoned Ron Montesi, to draw his attention to this. Went to the the building department to have someone explain the letter to me. What was explained to him was all residential and under slab has to be cast iron, residential above the slab PVC, multifamily over six stories high, anything under six stories doesn't have to comply under this new change in the ruling. Questions why he was notified 30 days after the law was put into effect and why the Builders Association wasn't notified or given some consideration to react to this. Supervisor Borgos-Stated this took everyone by surprise. Realistically no one has been following that part of the regulations for years. This was a determination by the Building and Code Department that they would begin to enforce it. Mr. Valente-Asked if it is unreasonable to ask for a three to six month time period to phase this in. Supervisor Borgos-Asked Mr. Dusek, if it is possible since this has not been enforced for all these years that the period could be extended for non-enforcement? Attorney Dusek-Stated Dave Hatin has an independent job to enforce the ordinances doesn't know how you would ask him not to enforce this. Councilman Montesi-Stated within the framework of the regulations which no one read it said, November 1, 1989 we will go to cast iron this is the exception no one realized. Councilman Kurosaka-Asked if in the code does it state November 1st, 1989? Mr. Meurs-Explained on November 1st, Dave Hatin realized that the Town was not following the code. Mr. Valente-Questioned when this should have been put into effect? No one was aware of this until now including the building department. Supervisor Borgos-Thinks that this is a interesting point that some jobs not only are in the bid stage, but are also in the construction stage. Edward Power-North Queensbury. Stated the Board could proceed under the same interpretation. Councilman Kurosaka-Stated they can't. Supervisor Borgos-Asked Town Attorney, how long it would take to correct this problem? Attorney Dusek-Stated if the Board is desirous to change this it would seem that a Local Law would be possible. Assuming a Local Law would work it would be 5-7 days publication time so within a matter of 15 days it would take to get it done. Then you would have to send it to the Department of Housing and express the situation to them. Councilman Monahan-Asked if they could agree to suspend this area of the code temporarily? I sympathize with their point since it hasn't been enforced and I got the impression it didn't have to be until November 1st. This doesn't serve any purpose. Attorney Dusek-Asked to have more time between now and Wednesday night to research this. Councilman Montesi-Asked if a resolution could be put forth tonight to change the Local Law so that there is something in the minutes to strike that from the plumbing ordinance? Asked how they can tell Dave to suspend until the litigation is complete on this? Attorney Dusek-Stated this is the problem you can't tell him not to carry out his function. Councilman Potenza-Stated it's not the building department that has allowed this to happen. If the builders were aware this was part of the rules and regulations and they weren't following it and the building department came along and is now enforcing the law I don't understand the. . .is not the building department. Phil Tucker-Queensbury. Explained that he did a job in Log Jam Factory Outlet went to the building department knowing what the code was and got an approval for PVC. Councilman Potenza-Asked if he went to the building department knowing they were gnforcing cast iron and not PVC? 5 39 Mr. Tucker-Yes. Councilman Potenza-Asked why he did this? Mr. Tucker-Because of the cost. Councilman Potenza-I have a hard time understanding that you propose to the building department plans knowing that you are going against code and submitted to the building department with fingers crossed that their going to pass it. Mr. Tucker-Stated he had pre-approval before they bid the job to go with PVC pipe. -- Councilman Montesi-Asked if the builders in the community have worked with a community that has changed the Local Law? Mr. Meurs-Warren County. Explained that the point they are trying to make is that we assume what the building department says you can or cannot do is how they've adopted the law to the town. Stated all of the surrounding communities accept PVC it's a local call you have to make the call. Stated they feel they are being victimized financially by the town's building department. Supervisor Borgos-Thinks the Board is sympathetic to your cause. Ask how can this be corrected? Councilman Monahan-Asked Mr. Meurs, if he knows how long it took the other communities to pass this? Mr. Meurs-No. Barbara Bennett-Dixon Road. Stated when your dealing with the law it's one thing if you knowingly violate it and something else if your willingly violate it. If there are any town fees involved you should be penalized more for the months that you knowingly avoided it than for the years you knowingly missed it. Supervisor Borgos-Stated apparently they haven't knowingly violated it at all. Gary Golden-Harold Street, Queensbury, plumbing contractor. Explained the difference between cast iron and plastic to the Board. Stated there is no reason to have cast iron as opposed to plastic. Norm Willette-Hudson Falls, builder in Queensbury for 15 years. Spoke with Mike Muller, his attorney. He stated it takes four to five months to get a law like this passed. Councilman Monahan-Asked if they could adopt the county code? Attorney Dusek-Will look at all the options tomorrow to see what is the fastest way to resolve the problem. Supervisor Borgos-Asked Attorney Dusek, if he could have an answer by Wednesday's board meeting? Attorney Dusek-I can have some kind of an answer by Wednesday. Supervisor Borgos-Stated the consensus of the Board is that we support your position and will do want we can to make it legal as soon as possible. Councilman Montesi-Stated this fall most phone calls he has received is whether or not we are going to sell this building and build a new complex. Is not convinced that he would like to see this complex sold at this point. Knows the Board has directed Steve, not only to engage in negotiations for neighboring parcels of land adjacent to this site or in the neighborhood of this site, but also in some cases we have gone as far as giving him some perimeters and dollars to work with. It always has been my thought and it's different from Steve's in this respect, that the biggest pressure we have in the town right now is the court house. I thought maybe that court should go on the new neighboring site that we buy, maybe, Paul Naylor could move into the courthouse that exists now. We do have a senior activity center here, we do have a space between the Town hall if we needed more space I thought we move in that direction. If we needed this building then we would build a new activity center perhaps next to the courthouse. This was my thought for the next 10-15 years. Steve's thought was worthy of at least talking about, but I think an awful lot of constituents didn't want this. Only real disagreement I have with that concept is that we cannot sell and build cheaper. Brought up the topic of Wilton's Ethics Law, recommended this to the Town Board for consideration. Hopes that the Board could have a workshop to focus their attention on three or four major problems for the next year. Supervisor Borgos-Responded that he couldn't speak about the buildings in detail because of litigation. Stated they do have an Ethics Code in the Town which was adopted in 1970. A copy is given to every town employee when they are employed. It does not currently call for disclosure. The one from Wilton does not call for dollar amounts to be disclosed, but rather associations. I'm proud that this Board has to my knowledge for the last four years disclosed each and every time when there was some type of potential or possible conflict of interest and people have not voted or sometimes participated in discussions. I have never made a recommendation that we have a disclosure bill, we can think about this. Councilman Monahan-Thinks that there are things in it that do have merit. Thinks this is something that we should think about and discuss. Mrs. Bennett-Asked when the Board members take office do they have to sign a conflict of interest form? Supervisor Borgos-No. They have to sign an oath of office. Supervisor Borgos-Stated we recently had a storm and we're constrained legally as far as handling some of the elements of brush, etc. Mr. Naylor sent out a letter in regard to this. Had a meeting with Mr. Naylor, Mr. Missita, regarding what we might be able to do for the community. Proposed that on January 13th, 1989 that we accept christmas trees at our landfill at no charge. Will have a chipper at the landfill to chip the trees and if people want the mulch back we can give it back in a biodegradable recycled bag. RESOLUTION REGARDING DISPOSAL OF CHRISTMAS TREES RESOLUTION NO. 684, 1989,Introduced by the Entire Town Board: WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury in the interest of assisting it's citizens with the disposal of christmas trees this year deems it appropriate to accept christmas trees at the Town of Queensbury, City of Glens Falls Landfill, at no charge and dispose of them upon the premises, and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury as administrator for the landfill _ hereby accepts christmas trees on January 6th, 1989 and thereafter including January 13th, 1990 at no charge from any resident of the Town of Queensbury or City of Glens Falls, and said trees will be dispose upon the premises in a manner to be agreed upon between Paul Naylor, Highway Superintendent, and Jim Coughlin, Landfill Superintendent, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, as follows: 1. That the desire and hopes of the Board are that the trees will be disposed of by use of a chipping mechanism. 2. It is the Town Board's feeling that this falls within the policy of recycling of materials and feel this is an environmentally sound action to take. 3. It is the intent and direction of the Town Board that the trees shall only be received at the Ridge Road Landfill. 4. This would not apply to wreaths. 5. Residents will be allowed to take the chippings from their trees if, this is their desire, but they must provide a facility for removing the chippings. Duly adopted this 4th day of December, 1989, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Kurosaka, Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Borgos NOES: None ABSENT:None DISCUSSION HELD ` Supervisor Borgos-Stated he has received phone calls in reference to the Cronin Road bridge. 5q� , Asked the Board if they agreed to go out to bid again for the bridge? Board-Agreed. Plinney Tucker-Queensbury. Asked when the Board was going to take action on the re-zoning of Corinth Road? Attorney Dusek-December 18th, 1989. Plinney Tucker-Asked when the Board was going to take action on the Committee of Pay Raises? Supervisor Borgos-Sometime in the spring. Mr. Tucker-Questioned Dave Hatin's request regarding the sprinkler system at Martha's Motel. Supervisor Borgos-Asked if it is not in the code and we follow the code would the Building Inspector or Planning Board at any time have the right to insist on something that is not in the code if the code is what the rule is? Attorney Dusek-Explained that the building inspector can only enforce what is exactly in the code so he could never require a sprinkler system. There is some authority for the Planning Board to attach conditions that they feel would be appropriate for the protection of the health, welfare, and safety of people. Thinks an argument could be made that the request for a sprinkler system could be along that line. Because the gentlemen agreed to this it didn't become an issue. If it had become an issue I would of recommended to the Board they wait and I would research it. Mr. Tucker-Asked the Board if they have ever considered using prisoners for cleanup of roads? Stated that Niagara Mohawk right-of-ways are in terrible shape. Supervisor Borgos-Stated Niagara Mohawk has agreed to clean up all of their right-of-ways all their power lines. Signs have been prepared indicating "no dumping". They're extremely cooperative, I'm sure by early spring it should be cleaned up. Can look at the possibility of having prisoners, but there are a lot of people that don't want prisoners near their homes. Mr. Tucker-Stated he read in the paper that the Town of Queensbury sold a piece of property. Wondered what was involved? Attorney Dusek-Stated this was the road dedication for Hillside Drive.
