Duly adopted this 1st day of May, 2000 by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Martin, Mr. Turner, Mr. Stec, Mr. Brewer, Mr. Brower NOES: None ABSENT: None 1.0PUBLIC HEARING SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF SHAUKA T BHATTI DBA: ROADWAY INN NOTICE SHOWN Supervisor Dennis Brower-There is a sewer variance for the Snap Motel is there someone here representing this application? Mr. Tom Jarrett-Goodevening for the record my name is Tom Jarrett from the firm of Jarrertt-Martin, Glens Falls. I am here representing Shaukat Bhatti the owner of the Roadway Inn otherwise known as Snap Motel. We are here for a variance, set back variances to construct a replacement a series of three replacement wastewater systems to serve the motel. Last year, last summer the motel experienced a failure with one of the leaching systems there were two leaching systems at the time that served the motel. One of those systems failed we investigated the failure and found that it was due to improper construction and under sizing in our opinion. At the time we worked with the Town, Dave Hatin as well as the New York State Dept. of Health and DEC to obtain a permit to construct a temporary leaching system to serve the motel in the hopes that we would then design a permanent system to serve all the units that were being served by the failed system. The permanent system we were able to design cannot meet all of the setbacks that are imposed by the Town and DEC and DOH. We are here tonight asking for variances for the number, the various set backs that we cannot meet. I wish to point out that the set backs that we cannot meet are all horizontal none of the vertical separation requirements are going to be contravened by this design. I could walk you through the systems if you would like? Ok. (Used drawing of the area) On your plan you will see a number of buildings forming the motel complex there is four buildings, the three buildings outlined in green here are to be served by one of the systems that we are proposing. The additional building that is out lined in gold is to be served by the remaining system that we are proposing. There is one building the end of actually one building, that is served by another system that has not failed and we are not proposing to alter that at all in this design. We are going to re-use existing septic tanks as much as possible, three of the existing tanks will be re-used with the gold system which is building C on your plans we plan to drain to an existing septic tank and then go to a new leaching system which is down near the northeast corner of the facility, adjacent to the pool. The remaining three building including the laundry system will drain to two existing septic tanks and one new two thousand gallon septic tank and then to a pumping station which is to be located adjacent to building D. From there we are splitting the flow we are alternating the flow to two larger leaching systems that are shown in green on this plan. The leaching system that is near Route 9 is the location of the original system that failed which was undersized and now we have built a temporary leaching system there and we are now going to expand it to construct a permanent system and the other half of that system that we are going to alternate with is up adjacent to building B toward the northwest corner of the site. Now you can see that there is not a lot of room on this property. The only space that we have available to construct these systems is on the northern side of the property everything to the south is parking. So, we need waivers, variances for set backs essentially to the north property line and to the right of way. Questions, have I confused you? Councilman Martin-Where the existing bed is along Route 9 did you have to excavate the soils out and all that too, if that was a failed system there and you had to? Mr. Jarrett-We removed all the soils that we felt was, that could not be rejuvenated we removed basically all the failed system including soil. For the most part it was due to under sizing and poor construction. Councilman Martin-Now want about setbacks to other neighboring systems and other neighboring wells if there are any and all that kind of happy stuff? Mr. Jarrett-There are no wells that we found or we checked with the water department and we have done our own recognizance we have not found any domestic wells in the area at all. We have not found any leaching systems adjacent to this at all the property to the north is essentially vacant adjoining building B and adjoining building D that building is set back forty feet from the property line and there is nothing between those two buildings that we can find. Councilman Brewer-How old is this system? Mr. Jarrett-The original one? The original that failed? The motel complex is, the owner is saying approximately fifteen years old. Councilman Brewer-Was there variances required when they built this or not? Mr. Jarrett-I have no idea. The owner did not own the facility then when it was originally constructed. The current owner did not own it then. Councilman Brewer-It just seem like an awful lot of variances. Councilman Martin-So, there is all municipal water through there right? Councilman Turner-Yes. Councilman Brewer-There is absolutely no alternatives? Supervisor Brower-Ted do you have any questions? Councilman Turner-We had it last year and we had to give them a temporary permit because this thing was in violation it was running allover the place. Councilman Martin-Sounds like an excellent argunIent for municipal sewer system to me. Councilman Brewer-It certainly does. Councilman Stec- That is what I think. Councilman Brewer-Just said that. Councilman Stec-Gees it is right on Route 9, we are heading that way. Councilman Martin- I just want that duly noted. Mr. Jarrett-That will not be available until August, right? Councilman Brewer-Worse case scenario what happens if this fails? Mr. Jarrett -lam going to be red faced. I am being a little flip. I do not feel it will, if it does fail we would have to go to a holding tank or petition the town for municipal sewer. Supervisor Brower-Are you using any special systems in this design? Mr. Jarrett-We are using infiltrators for the lower system adjacent to Route 9 and we are using an Elgin type leaching system for the other two to conserve space. Councilman Brewer-Elgin meaning? Mr. Jarrett -That is a trade name. Councilman Brewer-I know that, but, describe? Mr. Jarrett-Well, it is configuration it is serpentine leaching system configuration in a propitiatory system it really does not offer any advanced treatment over conventional systems but it does confine it to a smaller space. It offers advantages when there is a lack of space. Supervisor Brower-What would you estimate the usable life of this system you are proposing? Mr. Jarrett-Well, it is very difficult to guarantee but we designed the system now to last indefinitely, I would not have to put a finite life on it with proper maintenance and operation it could last easily thirty or more years. It is difficult to say with a commercial system they are typically used harder than residential system. Councilman Martin-Now, there is no kitchen on this, right? Councilman Turner-No, but there is laundry. Mr. Jarrett-No. There is a laundry unit in building D, which we have designed for. Councilman Turner-That is designed for that? Mr. Jarrett -Yes. Councilman Turner-Because that is where the problem I think came from the last time. Mr. Jarrett -Well, it certainly added to it. You will see in our design notes that the laundry system is built is designed into building D's wastewater flow. Now, in, go ahead Jim. Councilman Martin-There is no kitchenettes in the hotel units or anything like that? In other words somebody not going to wake up in the morning and decide to have a pound of bacon for breakfast and then take all the grease and shove it down the drain? Mr. Jarrett-No. We were told no, I do not believe that there are. In response to the prior question about longevity of these systems you maybe eluding to the fact that years ago, fifteen or twenty years ago the design standard especially the Department of Environmental Conservation had were for application rates for design standards over literally half the sizing of what we use now, and that is why a lot of systems fail within ten to fifteen years. Since then they have updated their application rate to match the department of health and it is a much more conservative design. We do not have to apply those kinds of finite life spans to these system automatically. Councilman Turner -Tom, the size of the building the laundry building that seems to be in.. Mr. Jarrett-It is one washer, that we Councilman Turner-It is one washer? Mr. Jarrett -Yea. Councilman Turner-Ok. Councilman Martin-Is there anything that you can include in the design that you haven't that would seek to overcome the solids that come from you know, gray water like that? Mr. Jarrett-What we have done on each of the septic tanks now we have called for a zabel filter that is a proprietary name but there are filters that go on, in the outlet tees of the septic tank and they are supposed to prevent solids carried over into the leaching system. What will happen is the septic tank for the plumbing, the building plumbing will back up first before it ruins the leaching system. Councilman Martin-Yea, the filters will clog and Mr. Jarrett-The filters will clog back up the septic tank which is very easy to clean. The leaching systems are protected. Now, these have not been on the market for a long time there is a good track record so far we will see what happens over time but I Councilman Martin-So, is there like an access pit to them or something like that they go in, Mr. Jarrett-Right under the normal access hatch at the outlet of the tank where you would normally clean out the tank, you can pull the filters there, there is a lift out hole and you can pull the filter and clean it off with a hose. Councilman Martin-Given the anticipated flow and all that how often would you expect they would have to be changed? Mr. Jarrett -The filters? Councilman Martin-yes. Mr. Jarrett-In a commercial system like this I would advise inspecting those outlets yearly. Councilman Martin-And there could be some chance depending on the volume of use that it could be a yearly replacement? Mr. Jarrett-Not a replacement, you clean it off. Councilman Martin-Oh, I see, ok. Mr. Jarrett-It is not a replaceable filter, it is a plastic cartridge that you just hose off. It is a relatively easy procedure but I would advise in a commercial facility doing that at least yearly. Councilman Brewer-Is there any opportunity for land acquisition? Mr. Jarrett-We actually looked at some lands up behind the facility to the west and the site conditions are very poor, there is very shallow ground water tight and variable soil conditions we did not advise it. Groundwater conditions improve the further east you go the further toward Route 9 and that is why we were constrained by the location we have. Councilman Brewer-How about south or north? Mr. Jarrett-It is all developed property, it is virtually all developed property to the south it is all owned and under ownership to the north its Councilman Brewer-Always somebody has to own the land next to you. Mr. Jarrett-What I was driving at, it was developed I do not know if there is any opportunity to purchase additional land or not. Councilman Brewer-Could that be looked at as an alternative? There is how many, fourteen variances, and some of them are pretty significant. I would like and I maybe alone the upmost effort being made so that you do not have to have so many variances. I mean if you could, if you could acquire ten or fifteen or twenty feet I do not know if that is a possibility or not? Just an idea. I do not know how the rest of the board feels. Supervisor Brower-Tom are you aware of the Sagamore re-mediation what they did to reduce their wastewater in their washers, they went to the ozone washers and they claimed they reduced they used less water. Mr. Jarrett-I am somewhat familiar with it not the details. Supervisor Brower-It sounded like a good application for this client too. Any other questions from Board members at this time? Councilman Turner-How big is that washer that is in there? Mr. Jarrett-How big is it? Councilman Turner-How big is the washer that is in there? Mr. Jarrett-How big is it, we have sized it as a commercial washer I do not remember the actual pounds or gallons in the tub. Councilman Tuner-How intense is the use of it, during the summer? Mr. Jarrett -Shaukat, can I Mr. Shaukat Bhatti-Thirty five pounder. Councilman Turner-Thirty five pounder but I mean how intense is the use of it during the day? Mr. Bhatti-Three or four loads. Councilman Turner-I did not hear him. Board Members -three or four loads. Councilman Turner-Ok. Mr. Jarrett-Is that on average or the worst case? Mr. Bhatti-... Supervisor Brower-Ok. I think I would like to call on Dave Hatin, next and get his view of the situation. Director of Building and Codes Dave Hatin-I do not know if the Board has any specific questions, the only thing I can add is that to kind of go in the direction of Tim's line of questioning, these are not really significant when you look at them, a lot of these coincide together with the lines and the D boxes and the effluent lines we have limited constraints here I do not think they are going to effect anything on the property it is just these are the set backs set forth by DOH we live with those set backs I do not see this being extraordinary we have given set backs for these type, there are variances for these types set back before for residential we continue to do it and you will continue to do it in the future. My problem right now is this Memorial Day approaching about three weeks away if we do not get this system in I am headed, we are going to be headed for another failure because right now we are on a temporary system that will not handle the daily use under heavy load. I do not want to see the problem that we had last year were we estimated quite a bit of effluent went down the drain toward Glen Lake, I do not want to have that problem again. If land acquisition is something that they need to look at for the furture I would ask the Board to temporarily approve this so that we can get this so that we can get this over and done with. Right now there is a Court order that this must be complete by May 15th from the City of Glens Falls. I do not think that anything that they have asked for is unreasonable here, my personal feeling. Supervisor Brower-Any questions of Dave from the Board at this time? What would a temporary approval encompass? Director Hatin-Bob would have to direct that where that goes but, if you feel that you want them to get land acquisition I am not sure where that would lead but we need to do something now, that is the issue. This has been going on since last September, the end of the season and we need to bring it to a conclusion one way or the other. Councilman Martin-Are these buildings, slab on grade? This building B and especially is that? Director Hatin-I do not know that for a fact, Jim. Mr. Jarrett-They are all slab on grade or crawl spaces, building B is the one in the in the north west.. Counciloman Martin-The north westerly one there I guess. Mr. Jarrett -That is a crawl space. Councilman Stec-I have a question, it is May 1st. and there is a court order that this needs to be resolved by May 15th why is this before us now, why isn't this three or four months ago? Why is the board under the gun now? Director Hatin- I will throw Tom in here it has taken this long to get to this point. Councilman Brewer-I mean you make us be the bad guys. Mr. Jarrett-I do not think Dave meant to make you the bad guy. Director Hatin -One way or another we have to bring this to a conclusion, because we are coming to a busy season if it does not get resolved it is going to force him to look at shuting units down I believe that is the other alternative. Councilman Stec-But that is not our crisis I mean Director Hatin-I am not saying it is. I am just saying that is the reality of the situation. Supervisor Brower-How come this became a court order? Director Hatin-There was a court summons issued by me last September for discharging raw sewage to storm drains on Route 9. There is also an enforcement action by DEC against the same corporation they pay a seven thousand fine our action was also hanging it took almost five months to get it referred to a another court because both judges in Queensbury refused to hear it because of conflicts of interest. We just had our hearing two weeks ago. So, that is the reason why it has taken so long to get here. Supervisor Brower-At this time I would like to, open it up to public comment, are there, is there anyone here that would like to speak either in favor or in opposition to the variance request? Mrs. Salvador? Mrs. Salvador-Kathleen Salvador, Queensbury I am not really for or against, I just have some questions being a resort owner ourselves and knowing the restrictions on which we are under and the criteria with which we have to live up to I think Dan has some excellent questions, why is it being brought to you now. Why haven't they been closed down? They say that the washer is a thirty five pound washer and that the number of loads are three to four loads per day on an average. How many units does this facility have? Councilman Martin-It appears to have twenty seven, twenty eight something like that. Mrs. Salvador-And how many beds in each unit? Councilman Brewer-I can not answer that. Mrs. Salvador-Can anyone answer that? Councilman Brewer- We will get that answer. Supervisor Brower-Tom do you know that answer? Mr. Jarrett-Forty beds total. Mrs. Salvator-So some have two doubles, some may have, may have a queen some may have a king, so forty beds. Do you change linens every day? Mr. Bhatti-... every other day... Mrs. Salvador-Every other day. How many people in an average per room, per day? Mr. BHATTI-Two to four. Mrs. Salvador-Two to four per day. Ok. And can I assume that each person in the room has one to two bath towels, two hand towels, a wash cloth, a bath mat? Mr. BHATTI-Each person has one set. Mrs. Salvador-I would say by knowing what our laundry is, this facility is about half the size of ours, we have fifty four rooms, they have twenty seven rooms. I would say three to four loads of laundry a day is very minimal. I think it is many more. Could you tell me the size of the septic tanks on the facility? The size of the septic tanks that are presently on the building? Mr. Jarrett-Right now there are three one thousand gallon septic tanks. Mrs. Salvador-Three one thousand, ..and what is the.. Mr. Jarrett-Four Mrs. Salvador-Ok What about the size of the leach field? Mr. Jarrett-That exists now? Mrs. Salvador - Yes. Mr. Jarrett- Well Mrs. Salvador- Or what you have proposed. Mr. Jarrett -There is one system, there is an existing system in front of east of this existing six unit building which is not part of this design, there is also right now a temporary leaching system in front of the pool along Route 9 that serves these units on a temporary basis. Those are the leaching systems that exist right now. Mrs. Salvador-Are we utilizing low flow toilets and shower heads? Mr. Jarrett -That is required in the design, yes. Mrs. Salvador-But, they haven't been, prior to this. Mr. Jarrett -Some have been retrofitted I think he is still in the process of retrofitting those. The low flush toilets. Mrs. Salvador-Three gallon per minute or one gallon per minute, two gallon shower heads, two gallon per minute shower heads. Mr. Jarrett-Correct. Supervisor Brower-They have that currently, Tom? Mr. Jarrett-Some have been replaced, I do not know what the status of that plumbing refitted, I do not know if they all have been refitted, but it is required in our design that they all be refitted with water saving fixtures. Supervisor Brower- You can confirm that if we make that. Director Hatin -Yes very easily. Mrs. Salvador-That should be, we have been using them for about fifteen years ourselves. When the facility was sold and purchased, was an environmental review done at that time? Supervisor Brower- I do not know Mrs. Salvador. Councilman Martin-Environmental audit at the time of sale is usually required. Mrs. Salvador-Yes, at the time of sale, that is required today and this facility was just changed hands very shortly, a short time ago. Councilman Turner-I do not know, could not tell you. Mr. Jarrett -That is the responsibility between Town Counsel-That is not a town requirement. Mrs. Salvador-I know it isn't but I am just asking if anyone knows if that was done? Supervisor Brower-No we don't. Mrs. Salvador-Also Mr. Brewer had some excellent questions I have to complement you on that. You say that there are no kitchen unit in the facility which answered Mr. Martin's questions however we have had in the past and I know a number of motel, especially motel operators have had this experience where quests do bring their own coffee makers they do bring their own microwaves that is not unusual today, so there could be some grease going down traps and all that perhaps even the owner is not aware of. That believe me is not unusual today, People are trying to cut costs where ever they can, and if they can at least do breakfast that does cut down on their costs. I see on where are your set backs required and approved and all, you have one leach bed on system three that the set back required is ten feet but the set back approved is minus one foot, does that mean that it is in the State right of way? Mr. Jarrett-Less than one foot. Mrs. Salvador-It is still on the property. OK, lets see if! have anything else. Ok, I think those are my questions. Thank you. Councilman Turner-I quess I have got a question, the laundry building, four loads a day and I would agree with Mrs. Salvador, there is more than that. How about taking that out of there and taking that out of the system thereby relieving that material going to the septic systems and killing all the bacteria that helps get rid of the solids? Mr. Jarret-Well, I can reply two ways number one we have designed it for fives hundred and eighty gallons a day of flow which is certainly more than four loads. Shaukat may respond that he only does four loads but we have designed it in accordance with New York State DEC'S standards five hundred and eighty gallons a day. Councilman Brewer - Which is how many loads, approximately? Mr. Jarrett - I do not recall off hand, I would have to look that up, I am not sure off hand, that is the design standard that New York State requires. The owner has discussed that he will take more laundry off site than he has in the past. We can discuss with him the option of removing all laundry facilities but I think he would like the flexibility. Councilman Brewer-In my mind if we tell him he could only do if he wants to take some of it off, how are we going to monitor that? Councilman Turner-You are not going to. Councilman Brewer-There is no way you can do that with out having Dave up there every day. Councilman Martin-That is a ridiculous condition. Councilman Brewer-Absolutely it is. Councilman Turner-I am not saying that I amjust saying Councilman Brewer-I am not saying that you did. Councilman Turner-Take it right out of there. Councilman Brewer-I would agree with that. I think Tom said that or the owner said that he would take more off. Mr. Jarrett - I would have to defer to the owner on that. . . .He is saying seventy to eighty gallons per load. Councilman Martin-And through that facility we do,that is available to the guests to use that facility. Mr. Jarrett-It is available only to the owner. Councilman Turner-Only to them. Councilman Martin-Only to the ownership. Mr. Jarrett-The chambermaids would use it I presume. Councilman Martin-So, you said it was designed for what five twenty? Mr. Jarrett-Five eighty. Councilman Martin-Five eighty, and if it is eighty gallons a load. Mr. Jarrett -Seventy to eighty gallons a load. Councilman Martin-So, that is I have a tired mind, ... seven loads. . . . that has been determined by the mathematical genius on the board. . . Supervisor Brower-But you also have to have showers and toilets. Councilman Martin-Yea, I know that. Mr. Jarrett-The system is designed for the flow of each of the motel units plus the laundry facility. Councilman Martin-So, the design component of the system for the laundry is five twenty. Mr. Jarrett-Five eighty. Councilman Martin-Five eighty I mean, I am caught on , five eighty ok. Mr. Jarrett-Now that you have asked me three times I better verify it. Councilman Martin-It would be something if it was five twenty. Mr. Jarrett-Five eighty. Supervisor Brower-Is there anyone else in the audience that would like to address the board? Yes, Mr. Salvador? Mr. Merrilll, beat you to it. Mr. Merrill-I am Dick Merrill, north Queensbury. With Ted, we did review the situation last fall and the system failed after the laundry system was opened and for many years the business operated quite successfully I believe with out a laundry facility and clearly that is what taxed the system and caused the failure and it was a severe situation at the time. So, I would second the suggestion that, that be removed and there are certainly options available and you do not have to contend with gray water and treatment of that. But you have no way of monitoring or controlling how much laundry goes through that facility. As Mrs. Salvador suggests it got to be more than three. Supervisor Brower- I appreciated the input. That is good to know. Mr. Merrill-But that is what caused the failure, was the laundry facility was opened and as I say the business operated for many years with out it and I think it could continue to operate. Supervisor Brower-Thank you, Dick. That is good to know. Anyone else, Mr Salvador, excuse me. Mr. John Salvador-I presume that the facility is under DEC speedies permit approval? They must make application Mr. Jarrett-They have done that, Mr. Salvador-With regard to the laundry we are pretty much in the same position this property is in we have eight on site septic systems. We use this primarily the room waste that goes to the system. We would not dream of putting a laundry on site. We have our laundry done by a linen service, we own the linens, they take them and they laundry them. As best as I can determine when you calculate the cost of the labor to launder the cost of heating hot water the cost of detergents the cost of the machinery believe me we think we are further ahead having a linen service. I think that this property should do the same thing. This is, you have got one system on site that has not failed yet I would like to know what the life of that system is. The estimated future life of that system. To allow this hodge podge solution this is not a solution for that site to go ahead is to my way of thinking environmentally dangerous. My recommendation would be to have this facility go on holding tanks. There are properties on Lake George that own their own pump trucks take it to a sewage treatment plant three times a day rather than burden the land with a system that is going to fail. This property I think could do the same thing. So, I would think the first cause of action is to prohibit the laundry being done on premises. It just cannot go. That is aggravating already an existing problem. I think the long term solution has got to be looked at. By the way this is evidence of the failed public policy in this Town of pumping domestic water around town which is very generously used ok, and then stick it in the back yard. All you are doing is flooding the land. This is another example of it. That is all that has happened here. They have a case of constipation. Supervisor Brower-Anyone else care to comment at this time? In that case I will close the public hearing. 7:40 P.M. Accept input from Board Members at this time? Councilman Turner-It is my desire that the laundry facilities be removed. Councilman Martin-I agree with that. I am not so concerned about the set backs distances. Councilman Turner-No, I am not either. Councilman Martin-in this particular instance. The neighboring properties are these set backs are intended to provide separation from neighboring properties in the expectation that neighboring properties have septic systems as well. You, know they have hotels on either side there I would have more concern about that. Councilman Brewer-Potentially though couldn't there be something on the other side Jim that, no I think its our obligation to look at the worse case scenario. I agree with Ted about. Councilman Martin-Before I finish, I agree with Ted about the, I could only go along with this as a condition that the laundry be removed. Supervisor Brower-Well, let me ask you this, would you want the system that he has proposed to be built even though you, exactly as it is. Councilman Martin-I want to gain that five hundred and eighty.. Councilman Turner-Five hundred and eighty gallons. Councilman Martin-and leave the system ... Councilman Turner-I agree Supervisor Brower-I would not want them to change the design of this system., Councilman Turner-No, we are not saying that. Supervisor Brower-If we were to improve it. Councilman Martin-Because you still have gray water in the form of the showers and the sinks and all of that going down there which is fairly substantial. My other condition would be that the retro fit has to be complete for all low water using fixtures and low flow toilets. Councilman Stec- The way I see it Dennis, there are five options available in lieu of for proving this as proposed the long term solution is clearly in the picture for Route 9 is a sewer line, that is not going to happen between now and May 15h. Supervisor Brower-That is for sure. Councilman Stec- The other four holding tanks, buy more land, buy more land isn't going to happen in two weeks. Other the other two realistic options are you keep the laundry on site and you mandate fewer units and I do not think that is a very good option. I think the best option is in fact requiring that the laundry is moved off site it is the simplest to do because someday there will be a sewer there and then you bring back the laundry, if you desire. But, really we have see it before, not to pick on any individual applicant but I know the Planning Board has seen it I know the Zoning Board of Appeals has seen it. An applicant comes asking for the world on a short time table and it hand cuffs the board. The Board is trying to do right but you know, two weeks is not a whole lot of time to say I need the world. So, I think that the solution for the day is to require the laundry off site. Supervisor Brower-Tim? Councilman Brewer-I would agree with the rest of the Board that the laundry has to go I do not know how we can do it but I would encourage the applicant to seek out land acquisition. There is no temporary system here that you can do the way you have designed this but I just think there has to be another way to do it. I do not think that because you come in here on the first of May and it has to be by the 15th that is our fault. Certainly it is not, like Dan said holding tanks or get more land. I hate to be the bad guy but. Supervisor Brower-I do not think that you are bad guy. Ok. I concur with the Board I would like to see the system the remedied the system proposed built as designed, I would like to see removal of washers from the property, a prohibition of kitchen facilities allowed at the facilities and low flow shower heads and low flow toilets. Mr. Salvador-Questioned the flow of the toilet? Discussion held by Board Members. . noted 1.6 gallon toilets. . .

Contractual) Duly adopted this 1st day of May, 2000, by the following vote: AYES Mr. Turner, Mr. Stec, Mr. Brewer, Mr. Martin, Mr. Brower NOES None ABSENT: None Discussion held-Councilman Brewer-Henry this money I spoke to Rick last week this money came out of whatever account that he bought these bags, does this money go back into the account that he took the money from? Comptroller Hess-No, sales are treated as revenue it does not replenish an appropriation account. Councilman Brewer-So, how does he re-coop that money that he has spent out of a certain account that it wasn't really intended for? Comptroller Hess-If at some point during the year and there are thresholds of expenditure that you reach if you need an additional appropriation we can come back. If he runs out of money throughout his accounts and we come back for additional appropriation but changing a budget appropriation does not automatically create a scenario where you can transfer revenue to increase an appropriation. Councilman Brewer-Is there a reason why we can't do that? In otherwords if he spends, I know he cannot do it this year, because it wasn't on the budget, but if he spends money on a certain item when the revenue comes back in I do not understand why it cannot go back into that account. Comptroller Hess-If you do it next year you plan it, you budget the revenue and you budget the expenditures. When you plan a budget that is what it is you are balancing revenues against expenditures so when you do it. Councilman Turner-But Henry he is taking this money out of a specific account and when happens with that fund, like you said when he runs out maybe he cannot wait until he runs out. Comptroller Hess-Well, you say when he runs out, we watch the accounts very carefully I do not think, that is a two million dollar appropriation account we are talking about a couple of thousand here.. Councilman Turner-I am talking about the account the line item that he is taking it out of. Comptroller Hess-The line item is a four thousand line item that includes a lot of four thousand the only reason it is on this appropriation if he were transferring it from another similar four thousand it would not even be here it would be an automatic change within my office so the only reason it is on here is because of where he decided to take it from. But as far as automatically pre-approving an increased appropriation as revenue comes in, no you cannot do that. Councilman Martin-We cannot establish a revolving account for something like this in other words when an appropriation is made to purchase an item and that happens to be available for public use and sale that they buy ten dollars per unit say and they buy a hundred of them so we have a thousand dollars come in can't that be set up in a revolving fund so. . . Comptroller Hess-To increase an appropriation not without a board action after the fact. Councilman Brewer-To replenish I thought what we discussed a couple of weeks ago was that and understood that we I do not know how we can't do it this year but Rick took money and in it and it does not matter who did it or why they did it, if we take ten thousand dollars out of here, whatever the number is and we itemized that such as we do with the bags we buy them we pay it out of an account, when the money comes back in I cannot understand why that money cannot go right back into that same account so that the money is always going like this and you never have to re-appropriate that dollar amount again. Comptroller Hess-It is a revenue it comes in as a revenue it does not come in to off set a expenditure. Councilman Brewer-It cannot be done? Councilman Stec-Not that I think it matters one way or the other but I know two weeks ago, we did talk about this and I thought we had decided on one course. I do not think it matters which way we go but I thought that we had already had this discussion and I thought that the board kind of wanted to set something aside. Highway Supt. Rick Missita-Ifthe Town Board authorized a resolution from the revenue back into the expenditure, can that be done? Comptroller Hess-If there are criteria and I don't I cannot recite them now this is a type of thing that we have office hours for. But, if you reach, there are certain thresholds you can reach where you run short in your funds and you need to ask for additional appropriations they can be established by the Town Board. As far as pre-establishing that anything that you sell automatically goes into to refund an appropriation account cannot be done that is correct. Highway Supt. Missita- I did not say automatically, I said if the Town Board authorizes a resolution to take the monies that has been coming back in for the sale of the bags Comptroller Hess-They can do that after the fact. Highway Supt. Missita-From the revenue account put it back into the expenditure account by resolution. Comptroller Hess-They can do that after the fact if we have met the qualifications. You cannot increase appropriations until you have met certain spending requirements. Highway Supt. Missita-What is a certain expenditure requirements Comptroller Hess-That is office hour type of thing, you did not ask me to come prepared to explain that but if you spend down 80% of your budget and needed an additional appropriation then you can get that. Councilman Brewer-No, we did two weeks ago we had this discussion and I thought that we were all set to go and I never heard anything back saying that we could not do it and I do not understand why we can't do it. I guess my reason is because Highway Supt. Missita-I guess I am back to where we were last two weeks ago if you ask for a resolution to have it done it was going to be done that was my impression two weeks ago. Councilman Stec-I think we are talking about two issues here I think the first issue is the money and Rick is not going to be left hanging dry, out to dry there is going to be money there so how we accomplish that is one issue and again I do not think it I am going to have a hard feeling one way or the other about it but the other issue is that we talked about this two weeks ago and I thought that we had decided which way we had wanted to go. Councilman Martin-What I would like to know is just and I think it makes sense is there a way that we can make something like this like self sustaining? Is there anyway it can be accomplished? Supervisor Brower-Yea, budget it every year. Comptroller Hess-There is documentation on this I do not know what the board has discussed because I really have not been invited to participate in that but, apparently Councilman Stec- Y ou were here. Comptroller Hess-And I said that we could not do that and you challenged me then and I said no... Councilman Brewer-I do not recall you saying that you could not do it. I recall you saying you do not know if we could do it Comptroller Hess-And subsequent to that the next day I researched it and sent Rick a notice saying that we cannot do that but here is what we can do. Here is how we are going to account for it. Later that week Mark Schachner got a hold of me and said the Board Members want to know where we stand so I gave him a memo saying ok, here is exactly where we stand and I understand that he shard that with the Board at workshop last week. And nothing has changed since that meeting last week. Councilman Brewer-We really did not talk about it, we talked a little bit about it I did not know that we could not do it. Supervisor Brower-Well frankly I really do not feel that it is a big deal, either way. Councilman Stec-No it is not a big deal Supervisor Brower-It is an accounting procedure Highway Supt. Missita-The only big deal is that if! have to keep taping monies that has been assigned for something else then this project that we are accomplishing or trying to accomplish for the taxpayers isn't going to fly very well if I have got to tap everything I got when I have got monies coming back in that we are spending for these bags. If a Town Board can do a resolution to get that money back from the revenue back into the expenditure account so I do not have to keep loosing money for other things that has been set aside for the year. That is the big deal I guess if you will. Supervisor Brower-Well I think we can appropriate money if necessary anytime. Highway Supt. Missita-I understand but Henry's appropriation of money is from my own accounts not from what you have and what I am saying is if we are bring in this money that we are spending on these bags and the money is coming back in by Town Board resolution is it possible to have that monies from revenue put back into the expenditure? That was my question. Councilman Stec-Rick is saying in effect money is flowing out of his share of the budget into another portion of the town budget and that is hindering his departments operation. I understand what Henry is saymg Supervisor Brower-I do not think it is, but if it were we would address it and we would approve appropriations. Councilman Stec- That is why I say it is not a big deal. Highway Supt. Missita-I think that is what we discussed two weeks ago though. Councilman Stec- The other issue, I know we sat in this room and we just made a decision two weeks ago and all the players were here everyone was here and we made a decision to go one way. Comptroller Hess-Can I ask what that decision was I do not recall it. Councilman Stec- Y ou were at the meeting, Rick was at the meeting. Comptroller Hess-I heard you say that and I specifically said you do not have enough information to do that let me find out and I found out that you cannot do that. Councilman Stec-I honestly do not remember that I thought that we had made a decision. Comptroller Hess-I think the missing link is here you really need to find out what the law and what good accounting practices dedicates what you can here. I.. Councilman Stec- If the concern is that we are going to run out of money I am not worried, that is not the issue and Henry I agree with you that we have got to do whatever is in accordance with the law I have no beef with that what I am saying the conversation as I recall it was we made a decision yes, this can be done and yes we are going to do it that is what I remember from that conversation. Comptroller Hess-I remember you saying you want to do it you certainly did not say you were going to do it because you did not have that information and I specifically said I do not know if you can do that I will have to get back to you and the next day. . . Councilman Martin-What about this then, can we set up an account for purchases of bag in the Highway Dept. ? Comptroller Hess-You have one. Councilman Martin-We have one. The answer is yes, then. Comptroller Hess-And money has been transferred into it. Councilman Martin-Now, when the revenue comes in can we set up a revenue account that is labeled revenue from sale of bags? Comptroller Hess-We in effect have that. But, you cannot tie the two together. Councilman Martin-Alright, fine, but as a not formally but as a policy matter then come budget time we can say here is how much money went out for bags and here is home much money came into the revenue account for bags and we can in effect do that. Comptroller Hess-That is an accounting practice we exercise if the Board wants it or not, that is what we do. Councilman Martin-This particular issue I can see where it make sense I would like to see this as a self sustaining program so we do not have to take money out of the general fund for it that once we give it this one shot seed money like we talked about two weeks ago it can be self sustaining. I think that is just good policy. Comptroller Hess-There is no money coming out of the general fund for this .. Councilman Martin-I mean out of the Highway Fund.. so the Highway Fund has made a one time contribution to this fund and now it can be self sustaining by we draw the revenue account from the sale of the bags to fund it next year. Comptroller Hess-That does not happen that way. Councilman Martin-It may not happen formally but we can in effect that is our policy. Councilman Brewer-Rick took this money out of and correct me if! am wrong account number 045110- 4400 to buy these bags it went to brush and weeds misc. 045140-40001 which is still under highway, if you are missing five thousand dollars or whatever the number is from this highway repairs how does that, why didn't we in the first place take money out of the general fund to buy these with? Councilman Stec- Take money out of the general fund put it in the highway fund earmarked for this brush program. Councilman Brewer-Fine, I do not understand why we took it out of his money anyway. Councilman Stec-I understand Rick's concern although like Dennis said Councilman Brewer-He is not going to run out of money there is no question. We just did it wrong so .. .do it right. Comptroller Hess-That is a very valid point, when you passed that resolution and I looked and it said Highway that was a decision somebody made when they asked for the resolution that could have been from the general fund at the time, but the decision was made to write it for highway and you made a highway. Councilman Stec-But the intent was that the proceeds from that sale would reimburse themselves. Councilman Brewer-Exactly. Councilman Stec-And he is saying I am not seeing that reimbursement and I understand that and like you say we are spending way too much time on this already except that the other issue was I know in my heart of hearts that we made a decision two weeks ago. We did not talk about it maybe. Councilman Martin- I just like the idea that the program is self sustaining and we are not going to the real property tax or some other tax to fund it that it is funding itself. That is the broader policy issue I know this is a small amount of money here but there are other ways maybe in the future that larger issues could be funded in that manner and I think that makes good sense. Councilman Brewer-I do not think it is so much the dollar amount Jim, I think it is the whole principal behind the program. Councilman Stec-Like Jim said next time this could be a million dollar issue not a five thousand dollar Issue. Councilman Brewer-Now still at hand the five thousand dollars that he is missing from that account does he ever get it back? Councilman Turner-When does he get it back? Supervisor Brower-I am not an accountant gentlemen but I am the Chief Fiscal Officer of the Town and I rely on a professional that we have here to determine how we appropriate money how we spend it and frankly I see this as really semantics because no matter what we are going to make sure that you know there is enough money in there for bags and next year in the budget so I do not really see an issue here and with that I would like to vote.

There is an estimated item I would not say cost savings but we believe that we have a better handle on our costs with what we are doing here to the tune of approximately sixty five percent less than what our County estimate is and has also given us what we believe is better claims management and better cash flow.
