Attorney Paul Dusek
Supervisor Champagne-Opened the Meeting
Attorney Paul Dusek-As the Board will recall about a month ago I started to get on the agenda a resolution
and final order approving the extension of the Queensbury Technical Park Sewer District which is for the
purposes of servicing K - Mart down here at the end of the road. During 1993 the Town Board had taken
most of the action necessary to establish a sewer district but the final order was never adopted on my advice
because of the fact that we had a contract obligation on the part ofK-Mart's people to supply the Town with
$117,000 worth of funds before we went ahead, plus they had to pay $8,500 to the City for extra capacity.
I have received both of those checks and I gave them to E.J. for deposit the $8,500 will be used to pay the
City of course and the $117,000 will be placed in escrow and as the project goes along for the sewer the
developer has a right to draw that back down each month in accordance with the agreement that we have
and a small balance will be kept to the very end to make sure everything is going all right with the project.
The first matter before the Board then would be this resolution which would set up the sewer district and
authorize it and once you authorize it K-Mart then becomes included in the Technical Park and it is also
consolidated at the same time, that is what this resolution does.

Attorney Dusek-The second part of this was the agreement between the Town of Queensbury and the City
of Glens Falls and this is because when you have your original sewer district has only a limited about of
capacity that we can send to the City. This agreement provides for the additional capacity needed by the K-
Mart Expansion and the additional capacity comes out to be a cost of $8,500 that we owe the City in
accordance with this agreement. That is a capital contribution charge as I indicated earlier we have also
received that check from the Queensbury Limited Retail Partnership group.
Councilman Caimano-How much is the additional capacity?
Mr. Mike Shaw Director of Wastewater-Eighty five hundred gallons.
Councilman Caimano-Does it have any effect at all on what we are doing on the Hiland Sewer?
Attorney Dusek-No. This is a totally separate district and it has a totally separate piping system into the
City.
Mr. Mike Shaw Director of Wastewater-Does that also include the total for the whole district or just the
additional?
Attorney Dusek-This is only the additional amount being used by K-Mart project, the Town previously
entered into an agreement with the City to furnish sewer service to the actual Technical Park so this is, we
had that original agreement with the City and we cannot just simply add a section, a new section on without
going back to the City and saying we need additional capacity because if we did not do that we would then
be cutting into the capacity that we originally reserved for the Park. We do not want to do that so rather we
bought additional capacity the developer paid for it so that he is served, the Town is not out or harmed by
using its capacity.
Mr. Mike Shaw Director of Wastewater-So that agreement reads in addition to ...
Attorney Dusek-That is right.
Mr. Mike Shaw-Director of Wastewater-Questioned if it had both numbers down there, total capacity...!
think the original capacity was 20,000.
Attorney Dusek-The agreement says that the previous agreement is hereby modified to provide an
additional 8,500 gallons per day for the Queensbury Technical Park Sewer Extension therefor the entire
sewer treatment capacity now provided by the Board will be 28,500, this is based on the engineering
reports that tells us that 8,500 is what we needed.
