POST STAR, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COUNCILMAN PLINEY TUCKER PUBLIC HEARING LOCAL LAW-SIXTY DAY AMNESTY OPENED 7:05 P.M. TOWN CLERK-This has been advertised. SUPERVISOR BRANDT-I declare the public hearing open. Is there anyone here to speak on that issue? Do you want to leave that open and do some other things in the mean time and then close it later? ATTORNEY DUSEK-It's at the Board's discretion. COUNCILMAN TUCKER-Mr. Chairman, the only comment that I have is, after we put this through, I found out that the Water Department handles these situations about the way we wanted them handled. I think it's a good idea to run this through and then if there is anybody out there that doesn't know it they'll be commg Ill. COUNCILMAN CAIMANO-I don't understand, what you do mean, the Water Department handles it the way we want to handle it? COUNCILMAN TUCKER-The way it was handled in here, somebody comes along that doesn't have a meter on their line they put it on. SUPERVISOR BRANDT -Don't charge them back rent. COUNCILMAN CAIMANO-But, the people don't know that because there isn't any law in the books and they tend to be fearful of it because they think they are going to be shot at dawn or something like that, that's how this all started. Rather than have people fearful, Ralph any comments on that? RALPH VANDUSEN, DEPUTY WATER SUPERINTENDENT -A couple of quick ones. It's been our policy for years and years that as we find customers for whatever reason are not in billing, one of the most common has been people, inadvertently, neglect to call us to inspect the water line as it's put in and they turn it on at that time or maybe through bookkeeping it's been lost. Several years ago we used to contract with Warren County to do the billing. We've gone through a couple of different billing systems and certainly it's possible that some people have fallen in the cracks along the way as we've gone from one type of billing system to another. As we've found those people we've had programs on a regular routine that we go out in areas that we've had problems and just check to see who service is turned on and who is not and verify that they are in billing. Occasionally, it's not often, but occasionally we will find somebody in that category. It's been our practice, the most important thing is to get them in billing and to get them paying now and in the future. Certainly we never looked to penalize someone that's had the honesty to call us and tell us that. I'm a little concerned that if we're going to make it public that we're never going to punish anyone, I won't use the word punish, but we're never going to back charge anybody when we do find them there it's not much incentive for them to call up and tell us. Now, that we've made it public... SUPERVISOR BRANDT -And there is sixty days. MR. V ANDUSEN-I think we pretty much have to have an anmesty period. Then we've got to, I'm afraid change our policy in the future otherwise there is no incentive for somebody to call in and tell us that. COUNCILMAN CAIMANO- Well, I don't deny what your saying, just hear me out just for a second. The reason that this is the way it is, is because even though we have the best intention as a Town and you have the best intentions and obviously your program is a very well intentioned one still people are concerned and frighten by dealing with government. All of a sudden they find that for whatever reason maybe they deliberately cheated us, I don't know, but it doesn't make any difference now they want to come back into the fold and they are afraid. This is just to get over that fear because most people, I certainly didn't even know that you had that policy if I had not had a water meter hooked up, I would of said, oops if I go and get my water meter hooked up your going to beat my head in or something. MR. V ANDUSEN-I understand that. I understand that there was certainly at least one instance that it was a concern and a problem. All I'm saying is that, I think now that we've brought this to the attention that we have that we're pretty much going to have to change our policy in the future after this anmesty period is over. COUNCILMAN CAIMANO-Fine, at least we've told them. MR. V ANDUSEN-I think that is important that the public knows this that they have sixty days and then after that if we catch them it won't be a free ride. There would be some type of penalty, I'm not sure what the law allows, but that's what needs to be addressed as far as what's going to happen if someone doesn't use this grace period to turn themselves in. COUNCILMAN CAIMANO-I see some people here that would be glad to put that as their number one headline tomorrow morning.t MR. VANDUSEN-Thank you. SUPERVISOR BRANDT-Is there anyone else that would like to comment on this proposed law? PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED 7:12 P.M.

SECTION 2: Authority The authority for this Local Law is Municipal Home Rule Law Section 10 l.(ii)(9-a), Town Law Sections 64, 65 and 198. SECTION 3: Legislative History and Purpose It has come to the attention of the Town Board that there may be homes or businesses in Water Districts of the Town of Queensbury which are hooked-up or connected to water service pipes owned by a District and receiving water from a District but not receiving bills and, therefor, not paying. The Town Board, after careful consideration of this matter, feels that it would be in the best interest of the Water Districts to allow anyone who has been receiving Town water and who has not been billed or charged for the same to date, to come forth and notify the Town of Queensbury and begin receiving bills based on current and future usage. If it is necessary to upgrade service pipes from the water main, the cost, of course, would be done at the owner's or occupant's expense. The Town Board, as a fair method of dealing with this matter quickly and efficiently, feels it would be appropriate to agree not to prosecute, commence a suit or make any claim for any back charges, penalties or fines or any other sum for water used from the District and not billed for prior to the time of notification by the individual. SECTION 4: Local Law Superseded This Local Law shall temporarily modify, supersede or suspend some of the directives, rules or mandates of Chapter 173 of the Code of the Town of Queensbury as more specifically set forth herein. The modification, superseding or suspension shall be for a period of only 60 days and for only those specific purposes set forth herein. Thereafter, Chapter 173 of the Code of the Town of Queensbury shall continue in full force and effect, except as specifically set forth herein. SECTION 5: Definitions Persons - shall mean any individual, owner, occupant, proprietorship, partnership or corporation. SECTION 6: Grant of Amnesty and Rules Applying Thereto a) Upon the effective date of this Local Law, and during the following 60-day time period, any person who owns or occupies a dwelling or business or other building which is connected to any Water District water main and receiving water or can receive water from the District and who has not received any water bill for a period of 2 or more years prior to the date hereof and who is not currently being billed in any manner for such water service may notify the Town of Queensbury Water Department of the circumstances and request that billing for water service begin and, if necessary, standard meters be installed at Town expense. b) Any person who qualifies under paragraph a) hereof and elects to notify the Town of Queensbury pursuant to the provisions of this Law shall be liable for the installation of new or replacement service pipes or pressure regulating valves, if determined to be necessary by the Water Department of the Town of Queensbury. In making this determination, the Water Department personnel will only act upon what is evident or what information they are informed of. The Town of Queensbury will not and intends not by this provision to assume any duty or responsibility to investigate or be liable for service pipes that have been improperly located or constructed and which have not received Water Department approval. Any person shall also, after notification is given, be liable from the date of notification for all customary water bills from the particular Water District in which he/she is located. c) Although notification must occur within 60 days from the effective date of this law, if work or materials are used to upgrade the water service pipe, the person shall have until May 15 to make the repairs, modifications or additions. Billing for water, however, shall commence as of the date of notification. d) All persons affected by this Local Law are hereby notified that the Town of Queensbury shall not prosecute, commence civil action or make any other claim for back charges, penalties, fines or any other sum for water used and not billed and paid for prior to the notification from any person who makes a request under the circumstances set forth in this Local Law within the 60 day time period. Said person's only obligation will be to pay for any additional hookup charges that may be necessary and begin paying for water service from the date of notification and thereafter.
