We appreciate everything that the Town has done for us over the years and all the support especially with our trail system and everything else we have going.

Which is up a little bit from last year which the last years contact was three hundred and sixty one five fifty. So, with that the public hearing is open if there are any members of the public that would like to comment or ask any questions I would just ask that you raise your hand and I will call on people when the time, we ask that you come to the microphone, these microphones not only amplify but also record. Mr. Jack Perma and Chuck Mellon, Chuck Mellon is the President and Jack Perma is I believe the Treasurer. President Chuck Mellon-I will make this short and sweet. We feel that somebody had to write to the Town Board here, a short statement. The Board of Directors, along with the full membership of the Bay Ridge Volunteer Fire Company, wishes to thank the Queensbury Town Board for recognizing that a six-percent budget increase was necessary after three years of budget reductions. We have shown fiscal responsibility by lowering our expenditures even when fuel and heating costs were soaring out of control. We have demonstrated the need for additional funds for vehicle repairs and maintenance, turnout gear and pager upgrades that will keep our vehicles and firefighters ready at a 3 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 moment’s notice to meet our ever increasing call volume. In the past several years we have applied for and received many state and federal grants to add or upgrade our equipment with little or no cost to the Queensbury residents. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our support of the concept of Town-wide Fire Districts. There are many scenarios floating around and we would support one that would keep the tax rate at no more than a ten-cent per thousand difference in any one District. Additionally, we would support Districts that change the existing charter boundaries to those with clear and concise boundaries to those with clear and concise boundaries allowing for the nearest and lest restricted apparatus to provide the quickest possible response. We firmly believe that the creation of Fire Districts should be primarily about preserving life, saving property and providing the best patient care, rather than assessed valuation or achieving maximum tax dollars. In closing, it is an honor for our membership to serve our community, in the capacity which best serves the residents of the Town of Queensbury. We thank you for your support. Sincerely, Charles T. Mellon, President and the Board of Directors and Membership of the Bay Ridge Volunteer Fire Company. Supervisor Stec-Thank you Chuck. Anything else, Jack do you have anything. Mr. Perma-I am good. Supervisor Stec-Ok. President Mellon-Thank you. Supervisor Stec-You are very welcome. Again the public hearing is open if there are any members of the public that would like to comment; again I would ask that you raise your hand. Any discussion amongst the Board Members? I will close the public hearing and entertain a motion. RESOLUTION APPROVING FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY AND THE BAY RIDGE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY, INC.

Also in the Rescue Squad budget the West Glens Falls Rescue Squad also has included in that the amount for paid day time staffing all three Rescue Squads paid staffing it flows through, that money flows through the West Glens Falls Rescue Squad. That was for three hundred and forty two thousand three hundred and sixty dollars and three forty five was their operations. With that the public hearing is open if there are any members of the public that would like to comment on this one? Yes, Sir, Mr. Rahill? Mr. Bernard Rahill-Good evening my name is Bernard Rahill, from Wincrest Drive Queensbury The reason I came before you was because I think that there perhaps are some questions with regard to the number of people that are working for the Fire Department and Rescue Squads. They do a valuable service to our community. I am just wondering if any of the members of the rescue squad or the fire departments would like to comment on the programs to increase the number of firemen and rescue workers in the Town of Queensbury, because I think it is very important that we be cognoscente to the fact that when people go out and serve their community doing this they are helping the community and making it a much better place to live. A lot of that service is really selfless. In addition to which, Dan you had some problems I think two years ago with regard to the accountability of one group and I am just wondering what the accountability measurers are for all of these groups in the Town. These are two questions, separate 8 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 questions, one is actually a call to parts of spade in the fire department and also the rescue squad and also what are the measurers of accountability that the Town Board are providing for the people of Queensbury with regards to these programs. Thank you. Supervisor Stec-I can answer the accountability question. The accountability it has long been included in these contracts that there is provision for audits. That provision was added to or beefed up a few years ago, instead of the fire company or rescue squad being responsible to go and hire an auditor to come in and do their annual audit the Town is doing that. We put it out to bid and we hired a company I believe it is Loftus and Russ that has done it the last couple of years to provide an end of year audit on all their functions. They are also all required to have a purchasing policy in place either one of their own that is approved by us, which I think is most of the case or in other cases they have, they follow one that we provided for them. But, I believe that they all have their own but they are all required for that. Then there is other lesser oversight things but those are probably the two biggest ones. Then they have to spend their money in accordance with the contact and the law. Mr. Rahill-Well, just to finish, I think these men should hold their heads high not put them down and say we are getting this money because they are really providing a tremendous service to our community and trying to get other people to join them and service with them in the community. Thank you very much. Supervisor Stec-Is there anyone else that would like to comment on this public hearing this evening. Seeing none I will close the public hearing and entertain a motion.

We look Forward to working with you in the year 2007. Respectfully, Robert P. McNally Town Justice /s/ Michael J. Muller Town Justice /s/ 2.4 Building and Codes Monthly Report December 2006 on file 3.0INTRODUCTIONS OF RESOLUTIONS FROM THE FLOOR NONE 11 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 Supervisor Stec-I want to take the opportunity to welcome and introduce new Counsel Mark Noordsy from the law firm of Fitzgerald, Morris, Baker, Firth they have a contract for 2007 with the Town and Mark indicated that he wanted to attend the first couple Town Board Meetings to get a feel and flavor and I want to welcome him aboard. Mr. Noordsy-Thank you very much I am happy to be here. 4.0 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Mr. Pliney Tucker-41 Division Road, West Glens Falls, Queensbury, New York Res. 6.43 Increase in billing rate for emergency medical services Supervisor Stec-The Town has been able to provide basic life support and advanced life support one and we have been billing that rate for BLS $350. and the billing rate for ALS one is $500. with certain qualifications of members and the improved status of the paid staffing we will occasionally be able to provide ALS two a higher level of service, currently we are not billing for that this billing amount would be for $650. per call. This is an additional qualification that we may be providing and when we provide it this will allow us to bill for that additional higher coverage. Mr. Tucker-The billing for service how is the money divided? Supervisor Stec-The Town collects all the money, it get redistributed through the contract procedure. Councilman Brewer-That money is not all profit either they all have debt, we are a long ways from that point yet. Councilman Boor-On the tax bill you will notice that the ems taxes went down. Mr. Tucker-I noticed that the County tax went up 12.1% Supervisor Stec-It did, it went up around 11 ½ or 12% about half of that is increased amount to be raised by taxes at the County the other half of it is because of increased spending requirements the other half is because we did leave a smaller rebate at the County this year so that appears as a five hundred thousand dollar chunk. Had we repeated the amount and I am not trying to make the argument that we should have, had the amount for the 07’ rebate been the same as the 06’ rebate instead of a twelve percent increase you would have seen about half that amount a 6% increase. Mr. Tucker-Bill Thomas was appointed Chairman of the Board again for ever? Supervisor Stec-For this year. Mr. Tucker-He was appointed to the Adirondack Park is that a paid position? Supervisor Stec-I think there is a very small stipend. Mr. Tucker-It is not a full time and he will be able to handle business at County Board as Chairman? Supervisor Stec-I think they meet (Adirondack Park) once a month. Mr. Tucker-Mr. Boor in Town Board discussion will you go over the French Mountain law suit. Councilman Boor-I would like to do that. 12 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 Chief Eric Lettus-South Queensbury Fire Dept. Discussed at the time of budget negotiations for some new radios to up date the radio system where do we stand on that? Councilman Brewer-I do not think we addressed that at the budget meeting it was not in your budget we talked about possibly using the funds in the reserve that we had. Since we have gotten the letter that you sent us we have not discussed it. Hopefully we can discuss it next week at our workshop. Supervisor Stec-We can squeeze in another ten minute discussion. Councilman Strough-We should be able to give you an answer maybe Monday. Mr. Paul Alagna-Sunnyside East - Found someone trapping muskrat across the street from my property. Called DEC, there is a muskrat trapping season and we are in it. To trap muskrat you have to have a license and you have to tag your traps. With the growth of housing and population I think you have to look at whether you should be trapping in Queensbury. Questioned if the practice could be banned in the Town or mark the area you are trapping in. Noted that the owners of the property where the traps were set were unaware that the traps were potentially on their land. Supervisor Stec-Hunting is an area that is regulated by the State and DEC, the Town does not have the authority to alter hunting laws. I would guess the trapping laws are also something the town does not have jurisdiction. Town Counsel Noordsy-Not unless there is a provision in the State Law that allows the Town to enact a local law we can check that. Supervisor Stec-We could make suggestions to DEC and the State to address the issue on a State basis. Mr. Alagna-Noted that you cannot hunt or fire a rifle five hundred feet from a dwelling. Councilman Sanford-Noted there was an article in the New York Times on China and the Soviet Union there is a great demand for fur because they are economically developing at this point in time it is no longer for the wealthy people. So, most of the fur is going over there. I was concerned because an individual who had agricultural land was against traps being put on his property and he was prevented from doing anything about it because under the law that was not considered developmented land or developed land and therefore people could trap on his property even though it was private. I thought that this was crazy. I would like to look into this further and if we as a Town could at least clarify or put into place some local ordinances to best protect property owners I would appreciate pursuing that. Councilman Boor-I would agree with both Dan and Richard on this and for Mark to look into this. We are in the process of creating a new Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning and one of the way if in fact we are allowed to enact a local law is to look into what types of zoning, we would not want this in where you live is one acre zoning and the notion that you could trap where there is one acre zoning and you have got kids and pets I think is somewhat irresponsible. I would support limitations on where this could be done. Mr. John P. Brothers- North Queensbury Resident to Mr. Boor, I appreciate the position that you are taking on trapping but a rule that says you cannot fire a rifle within five hundred feet of somebody’s house is not protecting anybody in that house. A thirty caliber rifle can go right through a house at five hundred feet. I think the five hundred foot rule might have been around for a long time seems to me to be inadequate. Mr. Doug Auer-It was great that you acknowledged the students tonight. The youth of today does not get enough acknowledgement. Spoke on his sons first semester at RIT proved what a good job ACC did, you Dan when you are up at Warren County make sure they get what they deserve because education is the key the next war will be fought by those kind of students behind a computer. 13 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 Supervisor Stec-I am proud to be on the ACC Committee they do a good job. Mr. Auer-Spoke about an article in the Post Star that Supervisor Stec had commented that unfunded mandates from the State to the Counties, and Municipalities and to reform the Medicaid system and you also said that passing laws requiring civil confinement of sex offenders and restricting where sex offenders may live “if we want to start making some changes these are just a few of the most achievable ones but I am not going to hold my breath and I do not have a lot of faith in Albany” now what specific mandates are you referring to? There are two faces that come to mind when referring to Albany, Theresa Sayward and Betty Little is it one or both of them that you do not expect much from? Supervisor Stec-I am not going to walk into that trap, Mr. Auer, but Senator Little is one of sixty two and Assemblywoman Sayward is one of a hundred and twenty and there is the Governor and his office they all affect what happens here. Mr. Auer-What specific mandates are a problem for you as Town Supervisor? I cannot imagine that civil confinement is an issue that you need to worry about. Supervisor Stec-I disagree, it is something that everybody in this room should be concerned about. Mr. Auer-There are a lot of people that are tasked with that, the sheriff…when you get a venue like that to make a comment like that is poor taste. Supervisor Stec-That is your opinion. Mr. Auer-What expectations do you have as Supervisor for this year? Supervisor Stec-Do you have anything else Mr. Auer, I am not going to spar with you. Mr. Auer-I can characterize your five years in office as a sorry anthology of government non-feasance and possible even malfeasance, thank you. Ms. Kathleen Sonnabend-55 Cedar Court - Spoke on not wanting the proposed Warren County and Washington County Fire Training Center at ACC – flies in the face of all the planning that this town has done over the past couple of decades including what the PORC Committee has been working on. That committee has described the center of town as a crown jewel with the beautiful vistas of West Mountain, French Mountain the mountains in Vermont. The Bay Road corridor has developed very nicely with professional offices and ACC and now you are supporting I am told a fire center at ACC which absolutely has no business being there, it should be in an industrial location. I want to know why you are telling other supervisors up there that this is where it should be, why aren’t you supporting the best interests of Queensbury? Supervisor Stec-I have not said that. I brought it to the County Board to make sure we had an engineer look to make sure that they were looking at all other sites. They are looking at other sites right now because of what I said. Ms. Sonnabend-I think it was Nick Caimano who was listening to the Queensbury Residents who spoke to him that pushed that point. But I am hearing behind the scenes that you are telling them don’t worry it is going to be at ACC. Supervisor Stec-I am not telling that at all. Ms. Sonnabend-So, you will not vote for it to be at ACC? Supervisor Stec-I did not say that. Ms. Sonnabend-Ok. There is something else that I am very concerned about and that is why when I just learned that our Health Insurance premiums went up double basically over five years. Why weren’t you concerned about that early on? You talk a lot about saving us 14 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 money with sales taxes why weren’t you looking at that, why did it take Richard Sanford coming along looking at it and deciding something needed to be done opening it up for bid. I think this is very suspicious if you look at your campaign contributors some of the owners of Cool Insurance have been major supporters of yours and the current Chairman of the Republican Committee is one of the owners of Cool Insurance. So, why was it that you fought so hard against opening this up for bid? Supervisor Stec-I didn’t. I put this in my budget in 2005 for 2006 to hire the consultant. You can ask Jennifer Switzer or look at the budget. Councilman Sanford-I came prepared to discuss the fact that we didn’t go with the low bid, because I have had people ask me that question. I am going to explain why we went with who we went with and not the low bid. First of all please keep in mind that the twelve twenty seven minutes are available and while they are abridged they are done by Darleen and she did a very fair job in capturing the spirit of our discussion. We engaged a consultant to perform an independent review of our P&C insurance and to conduct an RFP. Our consultant did not recommend Cool Insurance and in fact recommended two other agencies ahead of Cool. While it is true that Cool came in with the lowest bid it was very concerning to some of us that the Town had been paying significantly more for the last couple of years. With Cool as our Agent we paid almost three hundred thousand dollars in 2006. In fact we paid two hundred and ninety eight thousand and fifty seven dollars. Cool’s 2007 price was two hundred and twenty six thousand dollars and four hundred and thirty nine dollars. This is seventy one thousand six eighteen or approximately twenty four percent lower than what we paid in 2006. The Company we went with provided the coverage for two hundred and thirty two thousand and change which is sixty five thousand three hundred and eighty nine dollars lower than what we paid Cool last year. When asked why we hadn’t been receiving these lower rates for the last two year, our consultant stated that we could have and that we should have in paying less. Our current agent who has represented the Town for approximately twenty seven years had not provided the Town with comparative alternative quotes. Our consultant stated on a couple of occasions that Cool had not earned the renewal. The cost of this type of insurance is driven primarily by loss experience; our claims history has been minimal. We have an incredible claims experience. It seems that only faced with an RFP do we receive the lower rates. On a related basis the Towns review process is also raised another bunch of concerns. The Town Supervisor and the Purchasing Agent had been communicating with Cool while this so called independent RFP process was taking place. Very poor form. When the Town learned that a competitor offered higher limits and superior coverage for sexual abuse coverage the Town Supervisor and or the Purchasing Agent asked our consultant to call up Cool and see if they could match the coverage. Other agencies that were bidding on the coverage were not offered the same opportunity at least not at that time. In addition the Supervisor spoke to Cool and informed them of our consultants concerns and decisions. Cool then attempted to contact individual board members in attempt to retain the account. This communication between the Supervisor and Cool and between Cool and the Board Members took place before the Supervisor even distributed to us Board Members all the letters that he had received from our consultant including the final recommendation. So, in summary basically we haven’t been served particularly well either out of negligence because Supervisor and or the Purchasing Agent didn’t know any better or because they chose to stick with special interest, that is A, and B this process was unethical and corrupted. Supervisor Stec-For the record I can hold heartedly disagree with most everything that Mr. Sanford just said. Ms. Sonnabend-I think it is most the negligence. This seems to be the pattern that goes on a lot both up at the County and at the Town, because you are involved in it Dan, you are not using good business practices for all of our benefit. Supervisor Stec-Ms. Sonnabend-there is not enough time for me to list everything that I have accomplished for this town and the residents in the last seven years. Ms. Sonnabend-Well I think you could have accomplished a whole lot more if you used better business practices and that is my point and I agree completely with Richard. 15 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 Mr. Bernard Rahill-Noted Elliot Spitzer also believed in Civil Confinement. You will be judged in November based on what the people think in this community of you representing the people. Regarding Bob Vollaro I have heard wonderful things said of him from people I respect they spoke very highly of Bob Vollaro and his work. I have heard bad things coming from our Town Board Members with regards to Bob Vollaro. I have only spoken to the man on occasion he is very gentle and I have seen him at Planning Board Meetings and he has handled himself very well. Spoke to the Board regarding taking control from the people, taking of power from communities, we are in a situation where even though our Planning Board has made a decision somebody wants to come and take the rights away from the Town of Queensbury and from the people of Queensbury. The people of Queensbury should be aware of the fact that they can stand up for their Planning Board and for their rights. Councilman Boor-I have a tremendous amount of respect for Bob Vollaro. One of the knocks that he got from his Planning Board Members was the length of the meetings, that had to do with his thoroughness there wasn’t anything that I am aware of on any application that he had not thoroughly looked at, he put countless hours in, he was on the Board for eight or nine years. One of the things that was troubling to me, an article in the Post Star the final sentence it had to do with Bob Vollaro resigning and there was an inference or it could be inferred or somebody with a logical mind could assume that due to the law suit about a restaurant that is why Bob Vollaro is no longer on the Planning Board and yet he had planned over a year ago to have this his last. That has absolutely nothing to do with why he left. There isn’t anybody I do not even think on the Planning Board that would deny the fact that he was an extremely hard working meticulous gentleman and I have nothing but good things to say about him. Mr. Rahill-Spoke on the power of the Town Board, they are in charge not the developers or the contractors, the power is in the Town Board hands. Mr. Peter Brothers-Spoke on article in Times Union regarding Sheldon Silver, he like Bruno has done some things that are morally questionable, it talked about an outfit that he had given member items to this organization, I am making a point here that I do not feel that government should be in the business of contributing to private charities. I am concerned that if there are resolutions here contributing to private charities I would ask that you review those thoroughly. Regarding the insurance, I think that this information is of great concern and I wish that it would be dealt with. 5.0 TOWN BOARD DISCUSSIONS Councilman Boor-Pliney asked where we were in regards to the litigation on French Mountain. For those that might not be aware we have hired an Attorney or Law Firm out of Albany Dreyer Boyajian, we filed a summons and complaint with a number of LLC’s I see Behan’s Communications is here who represents Mr. Macchio. Mr. Macchio had several LLC’s and some other companies, they have all been named along with Stranahan Industries and David Stranahan. They filed for an extension on the time period with which they could respond to our summons and complaint, we gave them thirty days. They asked for a further extension and we gave them a further extension which is only appropriate. We did receive today and I spoke to our Attorney, a response from one of the law firms I believe representing a number of LLC’s of Mr. Macchio. I obviously do not want to comment on the contents but its essentially a denial of pretty much everything the Town has asserted that has taken place and I guess that would be the best place to leave it, rather than get into particulars. It will certainly become public record but I just received this along with Dan and other Town Board Members at about three o’clock this afternoon. It will go through the process. Judge Krogman is going to probably hear this, he heard there are several cases involved in this there is a land dispute in ownership which will affect how the Town Board proceeds but I believe it has been three or four months and no decision has been made on that. It is probably logical to assume that the Town will not be moving forward relative to this until part of the ownership or all of the ownership of the property in question is determined. I am confident in our position, I have been on the site as has been I think every Town Board Member has been on the site with the exception of Councilman Strough. I know that the Planning Board was up there and it’s a major amount of development that has 16 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 taken place without permits. We are going to pursue this it is important that we send a message that you do not go and build something and then say well we have already done it we will pay the twenty five hundred dollar fine there is a major amount of disturbances occurred and I think in the best interest of the public we are going to make sure that this type of thing doesn’t occur in the future and we are going to vigorously defend what we feel is a number of zoning violations. Councilman Sanford-I was pleased to read in the paper the bravo, a well deserved one I might add. I applaud the energy that you put in on almost every project that you work on but this one in particular you are doing a great job and I think you will have the community as well as my support on it. Keep up the good work. th Councilman Strough- A. Announced the Christmas Tree Pickup Ward I and II Jan. 8 – thndth 12 Ward III Jan. 15-19 and Ward IV Jan. 22 – 26 B. Spoke on the Fire Dept. training Center: possible location suggested by a resident of Glens Falls, in Glens Falls near the Glens Falls Regional Waste Treatment Plant..asked that be look into. Supervisor Stec-There are three locations, I am not a member of that committee, I insisted that they put money in to make sure the engineer goes back and looks at not only this site but two others, one at the Industrial Park near the airport and the other one is the old Ciba Geigy Site. Noted he will communicate that other site to the proper committee. Councilman Strough-Thanked the Post Star for the bravo and the very nice article they did. C. Sent out RFP’s for Rush Pond Pedestrian Bicycle Path, will keep public up to date. Thanked Leesa Stiller your Executive Secretary to sending those out. Thanked Dan Ryan also for helping review the RFP and Stu Baker our Sr. Planner and Tom Nesbett a Surveyor for helping out. Councilman Tim Brewer- A. Article on Grant Avenue Extension - Dan Ryan has been over there he is gathering information, I received a call from the Deputy Highway Supt. they are willing and ready to help in any way that they can, I think it will take a couple of meetings with the school. B. In the Spirit of saving money the litigation that we are in that Pliney asked about I would propose that we transfer that litigation to our Attorneys that we have right now and save money. Town Counsel Noordsy-I think we represented someone involved in that litigation… Councilman Brewer-If you have a conflict that is fine, but I am just looking at a reasonable way to save some money. Supervisor Stec- A. Thanked Glens Falls National Bank and TV8 for making the televising of these meetings possible. I believe Queensbury and Glens Falls are the only Warren County Communities that televise their meetings. B. Remind the public of the Towns Web site www.queensbury.net C. Trying to wrap up the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and know that there is an e-mail that is out there to the Town Board soliciting their feed back, we need to discuss that to wrap up the Comprehensive Land Use Plan’s public hearing so we can adopt that in a timely manner so we can move forward in wrapping up the Zoning Code changes that are also being worked in a draft form now by the Planning Ordinance Review Committee so hopefully we have that adopted in early Spring. D. I do want to report for the th record that the only communication that I had with Cool Insurance occurred on Dec. 19, I left a voice mail inquiring as to the remark that our consultant made, that was following the th final recommendation of the consultant which was on the 15, so the communication was after the fact and was limited solely to a question regarding the service that they currently provided us and it was something Mr. Sanford definitely mentioned that he was curious to hear information about, he had concerns with. I do not know how we would address the concerns without somebody asking the question and I did tell two Town Board Members before I made the communication and I also before the communication and again after the communication bounced this off Jennifer Switzer who was involved in the process from the get go and can validate anything and everything that I have just said. She researched and ran down this question for better or worse if for no other reason to inquire about it. The question of whether or not we had been not receiving the best possible service in particular with our rates for those two years. So, I asked the question and as certain as I am sitting 17 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 here if I had not asked the question the accusations tonight would have been that I knew about this issue and I did not ask any questions. So, I am between a rock and a hard place. Councilman Boor-I disagree with just about everything that you just said and I will leave it at that. 6.0 RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING RULES OF PROCEDURE RESOLUTION NO.: 5, 2007 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. John Strough WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mr. Roger Boor WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board wishes to designate Robert’s Rules of Order as its official rules of procedure, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, in accordance with the authority granted by New York State Town Law §63, the Queensbury Town Board hereby designates Robert's Rules of Order as its official rules of procedure for the year 2007 except when these Rules are not in agreement with Town Law. th Duly adopted this 8 day of January, 2007, by the following vote: AYES : Mr. Stec, Mr. Boor, Mr. Sanford, Mr. Strough NOES : None ABSENT: Mr. Brewer RESOLUTION SETTING 2007 TOWN BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE RESOLUTION NO.: 6, 2007 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Roger Boor WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mr. John Strough 18 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-08-2007 MTG.#1 WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board wishes to establish its 2007 meeting schedule, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, in accordance with New York State Town Law §62, the Queensbury Town Board hereby establishes its 2007 meeting schedule as follows: strd 1.

Supervisor Stec-Not as the Purchasing Agent she is a full time equivalent as the Town accountant. Reviewed the history of the position. Councilman Sanford-How many hours is a full time person work in the Town of Queensbury? Supervisor Stec-two thousand and eighty eight a year, forty a week. Councilman Sanford-Is she working forty hours a week plus additional time as a part time employee or is she accomplishing these duties within the forty hour week? Supervisor Stec-It varies from week to week but I think for purpose of discussion it is probably that she is accomplishing most of this within. I suppose that the question maybe could this all be included in the regular salary, which we have done in a couple other stipends. Councilman Sanford-If a person is working full time and they are in the finance department they are doing maybe accounts payable, maybe accounts receivable, maybe they are doing some purchasing, if they are working forty hours and they are accomplishing those tasks then they get paid forty hours, if they are still going to work forty hours but well you have got to review some purchasing things it seems to be it is a double dip to call a person a Town Purchasing Agent pay them five thousand dollars extra for not working any additional time. It seems to me quite frankly it’s a double dip and not the best utilization of governmental money. That is my concern, it has nothing to do with the individual it just seems like it is something that is not working right with government. Supervisor Stec-I can only go to the history here and in the past this was a full time position that did not work out the rational at the time this was years ago, is that the stipend typically is removed from the annual salary three percent incremental thing and so that if we said you know what you are working hard and having more responsibility instead of thirty plus five, throwing out an number for example I do not know exactly what her salary is, but thirty plus five or thirty five I think the rational in the past was that, that stipend was removed and kept separate and I think that is how a few other stipends had worked in the past. Councilman Sanford-Joanne received the typical across the board increase that the town employees received in her full time position as the accountant and in addition she is receiving a five thousand dollar stipend as a purchasing agent but accomplishing both of these jobs within a full time equalivancy in terms of a work week.

I had some real issues with that. Not necessarily because of who they were but I think it is pretty important that a board be comfortable with who their chairman is. So, I am going to be supporting Chris although I will say I think we have some philosophical differences. I hope that you will appreciate the engineer aspects of the job because we are coming as you are well aware, probably more aware than I am, we have real storm water issues, we have got drainage problems I talked briefly during the Town Board discussion about Mr. Macchio’s property which if anybody has been on it you can only imagine what the types of rains do to inclines on dirt that is over thirty five degrees with stream crossings. The point being we have Homer Avenue we have had projects on Bay Meadows that have been proposed and it is certainly going to be very difficult as Chairman to see some of the parcels that are going to be offered up for development. I hope that you will keep a watchful eye and we have hired a gate keeper engineer who I will hope that you will make use of. I said the past I have real problems with some of the engineers that come to these tables, I can name about five projects that engineers have signed off on that are underwater right now we did not get a whole lot of rain today. I have real concerns about that and I trust that you will do the appropriate thing. Councilman Strough-Chris has some pretty tough shoes to fill, Bob Vollaro’s, Bob was very good a recognizing and acting on the negative impacts that he saw coming from projects being presented to the Town. He also insisted on greater design excellence both in terms of architecture and landscaping and I am just feeling that Chris Hunsinger he knows his charge and good luck to you, I am going to support you. It is a time that we all need to work together to insert a greater effort in maintaining our communities quality of standard and so good luck to you Chris. Supervisor Stec-Chris thank you for your continued service and I have the up most confidence in your ability and integrity.
