PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY SUPERVISOR BORGOS
OPEN FORUM
7:02 p.m.
PLINEY TUCKER, ward 4, Queensbury- Thanked the Supervisor for his efforts with stopping the trucks
from parking on Corinth Road. Noted that the City has cleaned the garbage up along Veterans Road.
Would like to see the same done with the garbage along Pine and Luzerne Roads. Referred to an article in
the paper regarding the ECON'S fund for closure of the Landfill. Questioned whether the Town's present
fund would effect the Town's chances of getting a share of the money.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Noted that the fund would be for landfill closure costs up to 50 percent but not to
exceed 2 million per landfill provided that you are on the landfill that is eligible and currently we are on an
ineligible list because we are classified 2a, which is potentially a hazardous waste site, an inactive
hazardous waste site. The state has said that they have reason to believe there may have been deposited
there at one time or another a suspect chemicals of some sort. When that information came to our attention,
we sent letters back noting that we did not know anything about this and in return they said they may have
made a mistake and we'll come ahead and drilled some wells. They have drilled 5 extra wells, water
samples have been taken from all of them and we have not received those results from the State. We've
taken one test on one of the wells on our own and the test came back clean. The State has taken those tests
to determine whether we should be taken off that list or totally declassified. If we are declassified then we
would be eligible for the 2 million dollars or up to 50 percent, whichever is lesser.
MR. TUCKER-Referred to article in paper regarding the possibility of EN CON extending the closure of
landfills in Warren County.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-All the dates are still set at April 1st. All the Town's within the County and the
County have asked for an extension. I don't think anyone is going to be sure until April 1st what the State
is going to do.
MR. TUCKER-Referred to Hiland Park's sewer system, questioned whether they have finished paying for
their system.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS- They've paid for all the infrastructure, their entire project including their
pumping station. The only thing that is not paid, a portion of what they own for the big pumping station
on Meadowbrook Road. We are waiting for final signatures on an agreement and the rest of the money
paid and that's due momentarily.
OPEN FORUM CLOSED
7:10 p.m.
DISCUSSION REGARDING RECYCLING
SUPERVISOR BORGOS announced that Warren County adopted a recycling law stating that anywhere in
the County as of April 1st, recycling must take place. Noted that it has been indicated to us that the
recycling will not take place officially and will not be enforceable until each Town passes its own recycling
law. The Town of Queensbury is planning to do a recycling law as quickly as possible and will be holding
a public hearing in the very near future.
BOB BARBER, President of North American Recycling spoke to the Town Board on the his companies
new recycling enterprises and encouraged the Board to pass the recycling law.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS noted that he had received today from Ralph VanDusen 5 copies of the map,
plan and report from the Engineering firm for the Administration Wing Expansion phase, which I will
submit to the Board members. I would like to take some action at our meeting of April 1st to set a public
