OPEN FORUM
7:31 P.M.
PLINEY TUCKER, Ward 4, Queensbury-Congratulated Town Board on the approval of West
Mountain PUD. Questioned Lake Luzerne Attorney's comments in the newspaper.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Noting the agreement was that the Town of Queensbury would except
nothing less severe, restriction wise, than the Town of Lake Luzerne, ending up with a three
part agreement, our attorney, their attorney and West Mountain attorney worked on all the
components. Their attorney was here, for a portion of the discussions over a period of time.
Now its up to the Lake Luzerne's Town Board to go through their side and see if they have
any concerns. If there are any differences between what they will except and what we've
excepted, it would then have to come back to this Board.
A TTOR NF_ Y D USEK-That is correct.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 believe the Town Board for Lake Luzerne will be meeting on
Wednesday.
Ib1R. TUCKER-Questioned Lake Luzerne's request regarding the water for the Town of Lake
L uzerne.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The proposal that was presented to us for the first time the other
night, was that water be provided to the residents in the Town of Lake Luzerne who are within
the water district to be created as part of this project. The proposal was that they would
get water for the same price as the residents in the Town of Queensbury. We explained that
there is a number of components in tracing the water system, in Queensbury we will have
to maintoin and operate the system and Luzerne will have to do the some thing. Our proposal
was that we should agree to sell to the Town of Lake Luzerne in one master meter situation
vnIuMeS of water at a rate which is comparable to what we charge our other municipal
customers.
MR. TUCKER-Regarding the trooper barracks, questioned the prevailing wage rate effected
the increased cost of the building.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The estimate from the firm that hired the architects that designed
the building was in the range of $170,000.00 for the actual cost of the building. It was realized
that there were four separate contracts and prevailing wage rates must be paid, that increased
the price to somewhere in the range of $220,000 or so, for the building portion with all the
components.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-One of the reasons for the increase in cost was that the lowest
bidder was not able to make the performance bond.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Understand that the people that gave the original construction
estimate didn't use the prevailing rate.
AIR. TUCKER-Requested a copy of the contract that the Town has with the County Board
regarding the additional police coverage. Referred to the budget, the 221 thousand dollar
surplus in the Highway fund, would like to know what that was.
56
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The Highway operates in a separate fund from the general fund, any
money that is unspent at the end of the year from any of the accounts in the Highway
Department is put into the surplus fund in the Highway Department by itself which keeps
growing each year.
MR. TUCKER-Noted the darkness of Quaker Road.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Agreed, I've spoke with Mr. Austin about getting street lights back
up, I should have an answer momentarily. We've asked for delineator's but the ground froze
too fast for delineators to be put in, as soon as possible they'll get them in. Would like to
note the good news that the Cronin Road Bridge is under construction.

DISCUSSION BEFORE VOTE:
DAVE HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes--Noted the location, on Luzerne Road between
VanOusen and West Mt. Road, on the north side of the road. They have a car port that was
built approximately 2 years ago to the church. Noticed a hump in the roof when I first came
on the this job, stopped to investigate it and found some structural problems with it. We
contacted Rev. Lynn at that time and through a series of meetings tried to resolve the situation.
We recommended some temporary measures to mitigate the circumstances which they did
do eventually but to date they've had no formal corrections with the problem. I therefore
requested, after meeting with the attorney, for Rist-Frost to do an engineering evaluation
of the structure which you have in front of you and to go to public hearing.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Referring to the resolution, you want it demolished. Is there
anyway that that could be strengthened?
AIR. HA TIN-According to the engineer's evaluation, it cannot be corrected as is, it would
have to be taken down and rebuilt.
A T TOR NEY D USEK-Would like to clarify that a matter like this, the resolution would set
a hearing not a public hearing, so that the property owners can be heard.
RFV. ROBERT LYNN, Pastor of the Church-We submitted plans for that in 1987, we were
granted a building permit, built the building, then were told it was built unsafely. We were
asked by the Town to secure an engineer, we could not afford one so they found us one, Mr.
Ray Buckley, we've been waiting for him to make a decision. fie feels it could be corrected
tint torn down and we have a contractor lined up to do it as soon as Mr. Buckley gives us the
P10175, which he told us he would handle and all other paper work.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-So you have no argument that the building needs to be corrected?
RFV. LYNN-No.
AIR. HA TIN-Noted that Rist-Frost engineers have done a complete evaluation of the structure
and they differ with Mr. Buckley's opinion. The other problem we have here is that the structure
was not built according to the original plans which they did receive approval for.
SUPERVISOR BURGOS-Have the property owners seen a copy of the Rist-Frost Report?
AIR. HA TIN-No, I don't believe so.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-(submitted copy to Rev. Lynn. Read into the record last page of
report). 'The results of our structural analysis indicate that the carport structure is not capable
of supporting the required design loads. The degree of overstress of the principal framing
members and the inadequate resistance to uplift create a condition where failure is possible
for loading conditions which are significantly less than the design loads analyzed. As noted
previously, some temporary supports were provided which were not included in our structural
analysis. We cannot address the adequacy of these structural analysis. We cannot address
the adequacy of these structural supports at this time. However, no temporary measures
were taken to provide additional resistance to uplift or to reduce the overstress in the roof
ra f ters'.
AT TOR NEY DUSEK--My recommendation to the Board that you hold the hearing and afford _
hoth parties the opportunity to bring in the respective engineers and hold a discussion.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Recommended that the engineers meet with one another before the
hearing.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Recommended for safety reasons that the carport not be used,
possibly rope off.
69
RFV. L YNN-Don't agree with the safety concerns but will agree to do that.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-I disagree with Rist-Frost's report .. it could be saved, but it
does need to be fixed.
Town Board agreed to hold hearing, January 22nd.
