2002-03-04 REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING March 4th, 2002 MTG#14 RES#140-149 7:05 P.M. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT SUPERVISOR DENNIS BROWER COUNCILMAN ROGER BOOR COUNCILMAN THEODORE TURNER COUNCILMAN DANIEL STEC COUNCILMAN TIM BREWER TOWN COUNSEL ROBERT HAFNER PRESS POST STAR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY SUPERVISOR DENNIS BROWER INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION FROM THE FLOOR NONE CORRESPONDENCE Letter: To Supervisor Brower From: Doug Irish Dear Mr. Brower; I am writing this letter to protest the Queensbury Little League's request to increase their fees for the Tee Ball program. You mayor may not be aware that, as the former Councilman from Ward three, it was at my suggestion that Queensbury Little League (QLL), received their first contribution from the Town. At the time that the request was made, the sole reason was to reduce the fees charged for participating in the QLL. At that time I had two sons playing tee ball, and was not at all pleased when after paying our membership fee we were told that we "HAD" to either sell a box of candy or pay an additional twenty-five dollars for each child to play. Needless to say as a parent I didn't want my six-year-old boys walking around door to door pitching candy sales. This was after a child had recently been murdered in Pennsylvania while doing the same thing. I had a meeting with John Cozzens to discuss the request for funding from the Town; I believe Doug Miller may also have been present. I explained my concern with the cost of QLL to participants and agreed that there was precedent for the QLL to request funding from the Town of Queensbury. One of the points was that, at the time, there were over eight hundred Queensbury children signing up each year. QLL was a Not for Profit organization and the money would be used to lower the fees as well as provide for maintenance expenses incurred by QLL for fields at the Queensbury School Campus. At the time Mr. Cozzens fully expected to increase the income from concessions and other fund raising activities to offset other expenses incurred by QLL. This goal mayor may not have been realized by QLL for the years 2000,2001. It is not the responsibility of the Town of Queensbury to provide funding for QLL and allow them to abrogate the agreement made initially to lower the fee for Little League entrants. Regardless of the fact that they have "built a new tee-ball field" as stated by Mr. Cozzens as the need for fee increases, the Town of Queensbury is in danger of creating another unending money pit much like it has created with the fire and EMS companies. I urge the Town Board to consider your decision with more than a passing thought. The town presently funds over one hundred thousand dollars a year in non-profit requests. This practice while never challenged in a court of law is at best weakly conforming with State Law prohibiting the gift of taxpayer dollars to private corporations. At worst it is illegal and cold be made worse by a decision to continue funding these non-profits while they exact an even larger income from the citizens of the Town of Queensbury. Sincerely, Dough Irish OPEN FORUM DOUG IRISH-8 Buenta Vista Avenue. Spoke to the board regarding the letter he wrote to the board regarding Queensbury Little League request to modify their agreement with the Town for funds. Noted the sole purpose for the resolution originally was to reduce the fees not to maintain the fees, but to reduce the fees for kids to play baseball noting whether they built an additional field at the school it is irrelevant for the request for funds. Noted it might be time for the Queensbury Recreation Department to take a look at taking over some of the tee ball programs, baseball programs. Noted it would be a shame if the Town Board granted a request for modification based on the discussions held originally with Queensbury Little League. JOHN SALVADOR-RESIDENT TOWN OF LAKE GEORGE, BUSINESS OWNER IN NORTH QUEENSBURY-Spoke to the board regarding the meeting to be held with O'Brien and Gere and the Town Board to be held on March 18th, asked if the meeting could be held in north Queensbury at the firehouse? SUPERVISOR BROWER-Noted it would be held in the Town of Queensbury Activity Center. MR. SALVADOR-Spoke to the board regarding the Warren County Empire Zone Administration Board of Directors Meeting regarding some additional tax parcels that were approved to be included in the Empire Zone noting four of them are in the Town of Queensbury. Asked if these tax parcels that receive the benefit of this designation have gotten an enormous increase in value, isn't their property more attractive? SUPERVISOR BROWER-It could be more attractive. First the businesses would have to qualify if it's vacant land whatever business wanted to come in would have to qualify in contention for the zone benefits. If it's an existing business they would have to meet the requirements they would have to be certified by Pat Tatich to be qualified to be able to receive this benefit. MR. SALVADOR-Noted the zone goes with the land. COUNCILMAN BOOR-Only when it is utilized is the value realized. MR. SALVADOR-Presented diagram and spoke to the Town Board regarding the Revenue Enhancement Program with the County. RICHARD SANDORD, 71 MEADOW DRIVE, QUEENSBURY-Asked for an update regarding the sewer negotiations with the City of Glens Falls. SUPERVISOR BROWER-Noted the board met on Tuesday at nine o'clock adjourning at two o'clock thought they had an agreement noting he learned later that the City wanted to add forty years to a clause that said execution of a Sales Tax Agreement between Warren County and the City of Glens. A clause was added indicating not withstanding Section 2 of the Agreement the term of the agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount of time approved by the State of New York for the Sales Tax Agreement between Warren County and the City. Noted they don't know if the State of New York will ever approve any length of agreement between Warren County and the City or if the State Comptroller will approve that. The whole idea of the Sewer Agreement was to wrap our existing three-sewer district into a new contract for additional sewer capacity. The agreement we made is we could reallocate any capacity we had within the town, but we wouldn't purchase any additional capacity until such time that the execution of a Sales Tax Agrement between Warren County and the City occurred and said Sales Tax Agreement being contingent upon the execution of this agreement. Noted he believes they received the final word about twenty minutes of seven the additional language it was unacceptable to the negotiating team and to the Town Board so we elected not to take any action. We wanted at the same time to assure our business clients within the Town that we will find a solution to their problem. The ideal way to do that is to work with the City of Glens because they have such a under utilized plant eighty seven and a half percent of it was paid for by the Federal Government. Thinks it's the right thing to do if it is not possible will have to look at other options. Noted had contact with Attorney Bob Morris noting he proposed some language they are confused as to where the language goes, have asked for more detail the sewer negotiating team will evaluate that. MR. SANFORD-Questioned if they thought that the sewer deal would get back on track? SUPERVISOR BROWER-It remains to be seen. Noted they always had a desire for a forty-year Sewer Agreement, but didn't want to be tied specifically to any particular length of time that the County and City would agree regarding a Sales Tax Agreement that was between the City and the County not the Town. MR. IRISH-Spoke to the board regarding the sewer agreement noting that it never fails when we get together with the City to talk about a deal the deal is never good enough when it comes time to put their name on the paper. The only thing that were doing here in the Town of Queensbury is holding up progress that we have in Town with business development. Noted it is time that the Town Board go to the Town residents and say we want to build a plant do we have your support recommended putting it to referendum. P AUL NAYLOR, DIVISION STREET -Noted he agreed with Mr. Irish's statement. Noted for twenty years he has heard Supervisors like you say it would be nice to work with the City of Glens Falls noting it is never going to happen would be better to build our own sewer plant. MR. SALVADOR-Spoke to the board regarding a letter they was sent to them six months ago pointing out that the Town of Queensbury has already its capacity in that sewer treatment plant at least for the Route 9 corridor up to the County Center has already been paid for and is part of the original project it was outlined in the EP A's EIS for that project. COUNCILMAN STEC-Noted it has been fourteen months ago to the day today that we went up to the County it was January 4,2001. Noted the article that was in the paper on Saturday is mild it paints both sides as equal parties to this failure thinks its wrong. Noted there has been a track record over the last fourteen months of one side stuck in the deal at the last minute when you are ready to sign it the other side calling foul then the original side saying you guys are changing the deal noting that is not true. Has been trying to go along with the interest of intermunicipal cooperation in the interest of being the better man doing the right thing for the community the right thing for the region noted for him he has had enough. Noted it is his opinion that before we proceed any further with the sewer negotiation that the city needs to rebuild its creditability with him and the Town of Queensbury. Thinks an excellent way for the city to do this would be to come to the table and resolve once and for all the qestion of how the compensation works for the joint Assessor noting it's a separate issue, but an issue that we should resolve in an hour. Once this is done then will be ready to talk sewer put everything on the table again thinks there is a lot of work that needs to done not close anymore noting he will never support any deal that includes annexation.

Most employees that are Town employed are post 1976 the Town Policy allows them to accumu1ate up to a hundred and forty days they earn about twelve days a year. They can accumu1ate up to a hundred and forty days Town Policy will pay them for the first thirty that they accumulate and they forfeit the balance. By adopting this resolution there is a small initial cost to the Town for all the retroactive benefits the cost is about forty six hundred dollars. What happens when you adopt this that employees instead of forfeiting the time if they earned a hundred and forty they would have a hundred and ten that they would forfeit that now would go towards their retirement credit.
