PUBLIC HEARING
THE CENTRAL QUEENSBURY QUAKER ROAD SEWER DISTRICT BENEFIT TAX ROLL
NOTICE SHOWN
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-This public hearing is on a proposed benefit tax roll for the Central
Queensbury Quaker Road Sanitary Sewer District for 1995. The roll has been updated with the necessary
information from the Assessor's Office and commercial water meter readings for 95. The menu for classes
and the points that refer to the classes is exactly the same as the 1994 roll. At this time the Town Board
may want to consider the possibility of adding the Route 9 District Extension to the roll for 95. When the
Town Board set this public hearing on the 12th we did not include that in the current roll for 95. In
speaking with the engineer today about the timing of the construction for Walmart, and the district
extension for Route 9 he had informed me that it would probably go to bid the second or third week in
October and the bidding process will take about three weeks to acquire a contractor and get on board
sometime within the middle of November. Best estimate is to have construction start on the sanitary sewer
line if weather permits is possibly early winter. During the bidding process if Walmart wants to they can
wait till spring and start the construction then or it is possible that the State highway permit would be
withheld due to weather. In adding this to the 95 roll it is a possibility we could add it but I hate to see us
add it and not have Walmart being serviced for most of the year.
Supervisor Champagne-I would agree to that.
Director of Wastewater, Mike Shaw-There is a possibility it could happen it is a possibility they could get it
done this winter and have full service next year but the timing of it seems to be a very narrow margin at this
time.
Supervisor Champagne-What is your pleasure?
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-The current roll you have in front of you is the roll that is now being
presented without the Route 9 District Extension. As you can see on the bottom there is a comparison on
the bottom of your last sheet. That is without Walmart in there.
Councilman Pulver-And with Walmart in there it changes it somewhat.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-With Walmart in there it is more of a positive effect, basically what it
works out to be is a approximately four dollars and fifty seven cents less per point, which would basically
work out to be $10.00 less per residential parcel.
Councilman Caimano- Take me to the back of the last page of this sheet, you have a comparison between
last year and this year, what would Walmart do to this comparison.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-This would be a possitive effect if Walmart, the Route 9 Dist.
Extension would include Walmart, Ames Plaza, Queens Diner, Long John Silver and Pizza Hut.
Councilman Caimano-A positive effect.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-A positive effect.
Councilman Caimano-For whom?
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-For the Quaker Road Sewer District. The only problem in including
them in the roll this year if they do not get the pipes in and start using it the first of the year and do not get
to use it until mid July on they are basically paying for the full years roll use, 1995.
Councilman Monahan-Mike did I hear you say that the easement with New York State has or has not been
signed? Those papers
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-The permit has not been granted yet, they are in the process of now, ok.
Councilman Monahan-I really do not know how we can include something that has got a lot of questions
about it.
Supervisor Champagne-I agree
Councilman Monahan-...they do not know legally if that will fly.
Councilman Caimano-For all we know they could go out of business and leave.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-I kind offeel the same way, ...1 thought that I should bring it to the
Board's attention that it was a possibility.
Councilman Caimano-It is only a 2.4% increase in the entire roll to begin with.
Councilman Monahan-I do not think we really can put something on the roll that is not their yet.
Councilman Pulver-I do not think we can charge them for using the sewer when they are not using it.
Councilman Monahan-Not only not charge them but how could you include something that is not there, it
may never be there.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-If they do come on during the middle of95 we can charge them an
operation and maintenance charge at that time when they come on board, they will pay their portion of the
o & M and it will be on the roll in 96.
Supervisor Champagne-Mike, as it is right now what we are saying is that on a per point basis we are
decreasing that by $1.35 right, $1.35 per point.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-That is right we are decreasing.
Supervisor Champagne-The average house, residential home would be what, four points, three points?
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-Three point and $4.05 less.
Supervisor Champagne-All right $4.05 less than 94.
Councilman Monahan-Mike are the point systems changed, have they remained the same as they were?
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-The points menu and the classes have remained the same as in 94.
Supervisor Champagne-Ok. Anyone else here to speak on our 1995 Sewer Roll? For, Against, Pro, Con?
How about the Board, anyone on the care to speak? Closed the public hearing. Thank you very much
Mike, job well done. Anything on the down ward slide looks good.

PUBLIC HEARING
CRONIN ROAD SEWER DIST. EXTENSION NO.2
NOTICE SHOWN
Supervisor Champagne-Opened the Public Hearing.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-This public hearing is on an extension to the Central Qsby. Quaker
Road Sewer Dist. for one single parcel located on the district boarder on Cronin Road. The application has
been made the map, plan and report has been prepared by Richard Jones Associates, we have received that.
We are currently having the public hearing because it is a single district extension, basically extending a
lateral at their cost DEC did not need to review that district extension. The contract I believe is in process,
Paul?
Attorney Dusek-We usually, there usually is a contract between as the Town Board knows between the
developer and the Town to cover the cost of the improvements so that the construction is borne at no
expense to the district. That contract is usually entered into some time between tonights meeting and the
final order and the Board of course would not adopt the final order until the contract was in place and the
resolution which authorizes the district the first time around makes it subject to the execution of that
agreement as well as permissive referendum.
Supervisor Champagne-We are going to go through the part II of the SEQRA.
Councilman Caimano-I think we do that after the public hearing however because we do not know, that
may impact on it.
Supervisor Champagne-Are there any others that care to speak on the issue of Cronin Road Sewer
Extension NO.2? Quiet group here tonight.
Director of Wastewater Mike Shaw-A little additional information for the Board this parcel is one single
unit commercial acreage estimated at one point nine eight acres and we have estimated water usage and that
also has a positive effect, it will not be included in the 95 roll but will have a positive effect of 50 cents per
point, or less projecting.
Supervisor Champagne-That is a good sign. Anyone else care to speak? Ok. Close the Public Hearing and
go through the Part II of the SEQRA.
Executive Director Jim Martin-Lead the Board through he Part II SEQRA

PUBLIC HEARING
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE WEST GLENS F ALLS WATER DISTRICT
NOTICE SHOWN
Supervisor Champagne- Opened the Public Hearing requested Mr. Flaherty to speak to the public.
Water Superintendent Thomas Flaherty-The West Glens Falls Water District historically has gotten water
from the City of Glens Falls through a connection a meter connection on Corinth Road at the City line and
fed through an 8" main up main street as far as Ryan Avenue and fed the side streets. We had a problem
maintaining chlorine residual in the West Glens Falls Water Dist. over a period of years. Back in the early
part of August through routine sampling that we are required to do we had some failures of the water
samples on Luzerne Road on Fifth St. and in the area of Lox and Baggles and the Pizza Hut. Reporting this
to the Health Dept. as required, resulted in the Health Dept. putting the West Glens Falls Water Dist. on a
boil water notice until such time as we could come up with a solution to eliminate the problem. We
initially went down and tried to booster chlorinate figuring that there might be something in the system that
we could clear up and take care of the problem that way. That was not successful. After consulting, and
the Health Dept. gave us a time frame that we had to engage a professional engineer and come up with a
report for a permanent solution and also a interim solution. After talking with the engineers it was decided
that as Queensbury Consolidated Water had a 12" transmission main going down to Luzerne Road
parallelling the 6" West Glens Falls water main that we would tie the West Glens Falls system onto the
Queensbury System onto Richardson Street, Queensbury had a 6" main coming up Pine Street, West Glens
Falls had an 1 and a 1/2 galvanized line coming down here a short distance, a second tie in was to replace
that 1 and 1/2 galvanized line and tie the West Glens Falls Water System to the Queensbury System at that
point also. After doing this sampling results were passed and the Health Dept. at that time lifted the boil
water notice. We still have to come up with a permanent solution which will be taken care of at a later
meeting, later date. This is to get approval for the interim connections tonight.
Supervisor Champagne-Thank you Tom. Anyone care to speak either for or against the issue of
Queensbury supplying the West Glens Falls System with our water, yes, Sir.
Mr. Gary Loughrey-My name is Gary Loughrey, 58 Western Avenue I wanted to know how the capital
expenses of the Queensbury Water System would be distributed unto the new customers, are they going to
buy into like the other Queensbury Water System people have been paying for the capital expenditures of
the plant and all of that how will these customers be brought into that system. Are they going to be asked
to pay a lump sum up front to make up for the, whatever body else has been paying in the system how will
that be dealt with.
Supervisor Champagne-Paul we have had some conversation that do you want to address that question?
Attorney Paul Dusek-Sure, from the Town's perspective as far as these proceedings are concern as Tom
mentioned these are temporary proceedings for purposes of looking for approval for the interconnection
which, that cost of that activity will be paid for as I understand it from surplus funds that were available in
the West Glens Falls districts supply, because it is for their benefit so it comes out of their money. The,
also as a temporary basis obviously they are getting water from the Queensbury Water plant, this however
can only continue for a short period of time pursuant to DEC regulation, however during that period of time
as I understand it Tom, correct me if! am wrong but a calculation of the total amount of water based on
prior usage indications will be made and they will be sold the water on a per thousand gallon basis of $1.20
per thousand gallons.
Water Superintendent Thomas Flaherty-Under the emergency relief the interim plan yes.
Attorney Dusek-Now, that is just the short term measure. As Tom mentioned the next step will be for the
Town Board to address and for the Water Dept. as well as the engineers to address the permanent solution.
When you have a permanent solution what will be required, first of all whatever improvements are needed
in the district is one item and the second item that must be addressed as part of the permanent solution is
the source of water as you mentioned, whether it will be on a contract basis or whether they would buy in
whether they would be ultimately consolidated these are all the issues that would be coming up, my
understanding is within the next month or so because they are under here again a time clock from DOH so
tonight they do not have all this information yet, but they will have within the next, at the next public
hearing and there has to be a public hearing on this second phase.
Mr. Loughrey-So, during this interim period then, as I understand the West Glens Falls district will be
actually separate and will be servicing that as separate entity and not, it is not incorporated into the ..
Attorney Dusek-That is correct.
Supervisor Champagne-This action was taken based on an emergency and was done by the Board of Health
back, I guess even a month ago, now Tom, is that correct?
Water Superintendent Thomas Flaherty-The early part of August.
Supervisor Champagne-The early part of August.
Water Superintendent Thomas Flaherty-August 17th...
Supervisor Champagne-Anyone else care to speak for or against?
Councilman Pulver-I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Tom and the Water Dept. for
responding so quickly as they did to correct this job even though it is only temporary at this point I think
they did an excellent job in trying to straighten out what was a very bad water situation over there for
everyone in the west end.
Supervisor Champagne-I might also add that we have made application, Jim you might want to add to that
also. The application that is in on an emergency act.
Executive Director Martin-Yes. We made contact with the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development
looking into the possibility of getting a grant under a immanent threat designation. Meaning that we could
be considered in the current round which is under review at HUD and that closed on Friday. We consulted
with Congressman Solomon Office to assist us in this he was very helpful in making the request, however it
was denied to be considered in this round. We did everything we could we worked with the County
Planning Office they were most helpful but it has to wait until the next round as far as that is concerned,
they project a submission date for that to be, February, March time frame probably getting a actual
availability of funds 75 days there after. So, that is still a prospect however it is not as early as we had
hoped it would be, but we will still pursue that should the Board desire late Winter, next Spring of next
year.
Councilman Pulver-Well, however I think it will give us a little more time to really do a bang up job at
getting this application ready we were really going to be under the gun to try to get it together to get it in on
time. As much as everyone was working hard for it, I am please to see that we are going to have a little bit
more time to put it together, the more time we have the better we are at putting our grant together.
Executive Director Martin-We have the basic elements that are needed for a very competitive application,
meaning the boil water order and so on from DOH. Again it is a competitive program it is never a
guarantee but we would have a very strong application.
Councilman Monahan-Because of this timing would that mean that the people who have not turned back
their surveys have a chance now to turn back those surveys and be counted, so perhaps we can even get
more weight because of the income.
Executive Director Martin-That is correct, we did have a significant response from our mail in survey, I
think it was in the range of forty to forty five percent which is very good for mail back survey indicating
that fifty five percent of the people in the target area were income eligible so that is another threshold
whereby and I do not expect any significant change in those numbers but the better response rate we can
get the better it is in the application.
Supervisor Champagne-Anyone else, Board? Ok.
Executive Director Martin-Anybody here from the public who is in that area I want to thank you for your
cooperation in getting those surveys back it hopefully will produce some help for the Town next spring
when we submit the application.
Supervisor Champagne-We will close the public hearing.

PRESENTATION
GLEN LAKE ASSOCIATION
Linda Daley-Member of the Glen Lake Protective Association-Member of the Technical Advisory
Committee for the Glen Lake Water Shed...Our reason for being here tonight is to reiterate to
members of the Board the importance of the health of Glen Lake which is a direct indicator of the health of
the seven thousand acre water shed which supplies it and also to bring the Board up to date on our progress
so far. The technical advisory committee prepared a program for water sampling the Glen Lake
Association received a grant from Soil and Water Conservation Service and conducted an educational
program on septic systems maintenance. The committee also prepared a survey to receive an indication of
what are some of the perceived problems effecting quality in three areas, the water shed, the Glen Lake
body of water and the quality of life of the people who own property along the shore line or wetlands.
Over nine months the technical committee has reviewed literature addressing water quality, members have
attended seminars and worked with professionals to increase their knowledge and expertise. The goal of
the committee is to identify environmental problems within the water shed, and protect and enhance the
water quality within the shed. The technical advisory committee believes that its work over the past nine
months has added to the body of knowledge about the water shed and its positive beginning to the water
shed management plan.
Ms. Virginia Etu-Reviewed the surveys...(passed out the results to the Town Board) ... We started with
Glen Lake because the Association had a current mailing list... as of the end of September we received 131
of 387 surveys back... Asked residents to look at the observations which were listed and tell us if they
agreed or disagreed or undecided about if these were problems affecting the quality of Glen Lake. Asked
to rank in order of importance 1-5, what were the top problems... aquatic weed growth, boats carrying
pollutants coming into the lake, waste water discharges from failing septic systems, algae blooms, a lack of
education or information on water quality issues, a decreasing water quality, jet skies, lack of a
management plan for the lake, utilization of the lake by non-residents, over development of the entire water
shed, storm water run off from municipal roads, and lack of speed regulations on the lake. What the
Technical Advisory Committee will be doing is focusing in on those areas of perceived problems, and a
goal of coming up with solutions...
Mr. Bill Morton-Serves on the Technical Advisory Committee-Reviewed with the Board the water
sampling that was done..conducted storm event sampling, sampling for phosphorus and suspended
solids...test taken on St. Mary's Bay...Brook that drains into the Glen Lake wetlands and drains into the
back of the million dollar halfmile...other locations for sampling in the Glen Lake wetlands...phosphorus in
Glen Lake is about 8 mico grams per liter, this is low, at a rate of 20 grams per liter is a threshold anything
greater than 20 grams makes an attractive lake unattractive. Reviewed the tables in the report...noted
elevated phosphorus loading during a storm in the brook behind the million dollar halfmile...the wetlands
seems to be assimilating the phosphorus...the wetland are important in protecting the lake...these are
preliminary findings we would hope to continue the sampling during the spring time.
Councilman Monahan-Questioned the source of phosphorus?
Mr. Morton-Phosphorus falling out as a result of atmospheric deposition, coming off lawns, foreign matter
coming off from paved areas, septic tanks...
Councilman Caimano-In fact there was not enough tests to drawn any conclusions at all.
Mr. Morton-These are preliminary, would recommend the next testing during the fall during storm events
and in the spring...(snow melt and spring run off)
Councilman Caimano-Regarding survey...This is an important project that you are on, noted that different
sets of questions may want to be considered in the future...noted there are several topics in the survey that
are already concluded before the questioner has a chance to answer it...in some of the topics I have not been
given the chance to answer, you have pre-supposed the answer and are asking for my confirmation.
Mrs. Etu-Noted some of the questions were formed from meetings of the Glen Lake Protective
Association...noted future surveys would be different...looking at other problems...
Supervisor Champagne-Questioned the weed growth in Glen Lake, what could cause this?
Mr. Morton-Phosphorus is entering the lake...
Mrs. Etu-Spoke to the Board on the Citizen State Wide Lake Assessment Program...tests the water in the
lake, clarity and other chemicals...The Town's monies paid for testing of tributaries entering the lake...
Mr. Dave Wick-District Manager of Warren Co. Soil and Water Conservation Districts-Received a $1,200
grant to do some septic systems education and information to the residents of Glen Lake, information was
mailed out regarding septic system failures and septic system maintenance, plus a slide presentation at the
Glen Lake Association Meeting...
Mr. Dan Kane-Warren County Planning Dept.-Spoke to the Town Board noting that everything that has
been done to date is preliminary, hope to do a planning study where we have a report on problems and
issues.. . from that a report entitled Goals and Objectives.. .requested that any funds left over in the account
that was set aside to do the initial testing we would like that rolled over into 1995 budget to continue the
work.
Executive Director Martin-There has only been $450.00 worth of the original $5,000 that has been spent...
requested that those monies be rolled over to 1995.

RESOLVED, the Town Board of Queensbury hereby adopts the annexed Warren County Fire
Service Hazardous Materials Response Plan, and directs the Town Supervisor to furnish copies to all Town
of Queensbury Volunteer Fire Companies and Emergency Squads as well as each Town Board Member
and file the same with the Town of Queensbury Town Clerk, Fire Marshal, Planning Office and the
Department of Building and Codes Enforcement.
Duly adopted this 3rd day of October, 1994, by the following vote:
AYES : Mrs. Pulver, Mrs. Monahan, Dr. Wiswall, Mr. Champagne
NOES : None
ABSENT: Mr. Caimano
Discussion held before vote-Councilman Monahan-Has this been to our Fire Companies and EMS Squads
our Water and Highway Dept. for comment?
Attorney Dusek-This is actually a temporary measure, the Fire Companies do have plans already in place
and I am working with Ed Corlew he recommended that at least something be temporarily be put in place
that covers the Town in case of certain instances that this refers to with the thought over the next several
weeks we develop a plan that is more in sink with what the Fire Companies have and also address the
issues you have raised Betty with regard to the Highway Dept. and other types of institutions such as the
Sheriffs Office and everything else. Councilman Monahan-Does this commit them to any level of
response that they are not doing now?
Attorney Dusek-No. Warren County has this in place. Councilman Caimano-You can only go so far, what
bothers me is that it strikes me when I read this quickly that on page five we have already gone further then
the level we are supposed to go, I am not sure, that any of our people qualify as instant command officers
under the ...... plan, I think we go to level two and I think level two is it is a hazardous material thing call in
somebody who is a level three that is what bothers me about this whole plan. Councilman Monahan-Page
16 read from Response Level one...and Level two ... Level three...Councilman Caimano-The answer to my
question is implied rather than stated, if you go to five it talks about the fact that the incident command
officer will initiate action to protect life and liberty if you go to page 16, it indicates on number 4 under
response level I the incident commander evaluates the need to declare a higher response level if
appropriate, so it appears what they mean to happen here is that the Senior Fire Chief on the scene
immediately makes a determination whether they are capable or not and while they are using the same term
they really are just taking, who is in charge now and what do we do from here up. Attorney Dusek-There
are multiple problems with this document in talking with Ed, here again the thought was get this in
temporarily and then we have another plan coming down the line. Councilman Caimano-I think we should
get something....Councilman Monahan-We want to make sure that we are not opening up our fire
companies to anything that they are not... Councilman Caimano- Weare not doing that all we are doing is
saying we need, you guys work out the details but we need to have a plan because we do not have one.
Supervisor Champagne-What is our next step to clean this up Paul? Attorney Dusek-In the meetings with
Ed Corlew that I have referred to we actually have a draft of a new plan but there were several problems
with it and he had to go back and redraft it. My understand is though I will have that draft to you shortly,
that is the one that will be circulated to the Highway Dept. and the Companies and make sure everybody is
comfortable with it. (Councilman Caimano left the meeting before the vote)
ATTORNEY MATTER
Attorney Dusek -Noted he had a couple of additional resolutions...
(Councilman Caimano-re-entered the meeting)
Discussion held regarding the Malcolm Pirnie Engineering Contract for the land...The Board agreed to hold
this resolution until the next meeting.
Discussion held regarding Uniform Contract...The Town has had a uniform contract that has been running
for three years, and there was a provision in the contract which indicated that you have to terminate it 90
days before otherwise it is automatically renewed for another three years, based on the concerns that I have
received from a number of people around the town dealing with the uniform situation plus the fact that
contract as your Attorney I will have to advise you that I would like to see the contract improved, so to
make sure the Town did not get trapped into the contract for another three years I have sent a notice on
Friday which was the deadline date and this would ratify that action.
Councilman Caimano-Questioned what the problems were? Attorney Dusek-The term of the contract was
three years and it provides for increases in the cost of the contract which don't mesh with the collective
bargaining agreement that you have. There are other concerns regarding the uniforms...
RESOLUTION TERMINATING AGREEMENT WITH UNIFIRST CORPORATION
RESOLUTION NO.: 507.94
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Fred Champagne WHO MOVED FOR ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Nick Caimano
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby authorizes and ratifies a
letter sent by the Town Attorney to UniFirst Corporation indicating that the Town elects without waiving
any legal rights to terminate any agreements that it may currently have with UniFirst Corporation for the
provision of uniforms at the end of the term that is currently in effect, which the Town Board understands
to be ending in approximately 90 days.
Duly adopted this 3rd day of October, 1994, by the following vote:
AYES Mrs. Monahan, Dr. Wiswall, Mr. Caimano, Mrs. Pulver, Mr. Champagne
NOES None
ABSENT: None
Attorney Dusek-I will need an executive session with the Board on two issues.
Councilman Caimano-Noted that there are people in the Town that would like us to consider a Pooper
Scooper Law...
Councilman Monahan-We have had that problem on Assembly Point Road and at Hovey Pond Park.
Councilman Pulver-I have had a complaint about it on Hovey Pond Park and in some developments in the
fourth Ward.
Councilman Caimano-Noted enforcement will be a problem.
I have received a lot of letter regarding our taking dollars out of charitable contributions, I would certainly
be open to a compromise on that, like taking it out in three year increments or whatever so you do not hurt
anybody, I would be willing to do that.
Councilman Wiswall-Re: Pooper Scooper Law I think a law would help to prompt people to be a little
more cooperative to pick up after their dogs.
Councilman Pulver-Suggested that a sign up at Hovey Pond, just out of courtesy...
Councilman Monahan-Noted the problem of cigarette butts at Hovey Pond...noted the property that is being
considered for a park in West Glens Falls, the question has arisen are we taking it off the tax rolls, I have
checked we are not taking it off, it is completely tax exempt.
Councilman Pulver-I want to be sure Jim, I got the draft for the open space institute and it says you will be
in contact with the Advisory Committee to schedule a meeting date, has everyone on the Advisory
Committee received this?
Executive Director Martin-That went out to the Planning Board, Town Board and Advisory Committee
Members.
Supervisor Champagne-You have received a budget tonight...
Read a statement to the public.
As Fiscal Officer for the Town of Queensbury I am very pleased to submit the 1995 Town of Queensbury
Proposed Budget to the Town Board that represents approximately 3.6 increase without a tax increase.
This increase is the result of restoring a few positions that were cut from the budget other improvements
mandated by the State and from services necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Town. Further
the drainage problems as we all are aware throughout the Town must receive our attention before we
become liable for unsafe environments that require corrective action. Therefore I have allocated several
thousand dollars to improve the drainage through out the Town of Queensbury. First and foremost before I
go on I am very please with the cooperative spirit demonstrated by all department heads that provided
budget information to me. The initial understanding for fiscal conservatism was evident throughout my
meetings with them. The 1995 proposed Town Budget reflects the local economic conditions as it exists
today. It reflects an economy that still remains stalled in the northeast and more specifically in our local
region. As I am sure most of you are aware there were severe cuts in the Town Budget of the past two
years, those cuts have left roofs leaking, equipment breakdowns and sever problems in managing the Town
enforcement policies due to the lack of manpower. This practice if allowed to continue would severely
limit and cripple the Town's future stability. Queensbury is progressive Town consistently this town has
enjoyed the benefits of a growing retail and manufacturing base. Although there are dark clouds hanging
over the area as businesses close their door and move from the region, government must continue to
provide those essential services as a reasonable cost to satisfy the needs of the people and to improve the
growth of the economy. The Supervisor's 1995 Town Budget reflects an increase up from fourteen million
five to fifteen million. Major areas of impact on a budget include but are not limited to the following. 1.
A drastic increase in the New York State Retirement fund from a zero level this year to a Thirty Seven
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars next year. No control over that one. An independent auditor is proposed
to examine and develop a uniform code system for all emergency services for the Town. This cost we
believe will be well documented as we look at the future for those budgets coming in from our emergency
services. Litigation against the Town for Article Ts have increased due to recent revals. The amount
budgeted for this purposes is up from $9,000 in 1994 to approximately $20,000 for 95. Our Building and
Grounds Dept. staff will increase by one laborer needed to adequately maintain the town's property at
approximately 125,000. The contingency fund for 1995 has been increased from $25,000 to $100,000. I
happen to believe that a contingency fund in this Town $25,000 just doesn't do it. Funds necessary to
provide adequate heat for the highway garage and to improve the maintenance and operation of the vehicle
located there will be up about $9,000. The zoning budget is up approximately 16% due to the purchase of
software for the GIS system by about $8,000. The planning budget increase from $161,004. to $187,300
nearly a 20% jump. The cause for this action is again due to improving the computerization of the
department for tracking property and the characteristics of those properties. Other increases of $30,918.
includes such increases as legal and engineering services, which was not in this previous budget. An
extremely high increase in the Town's drainage budget from $45,000 to $137,500 this reflect the severity of
the drainage problems throughout our town, as I indicated earlier. This 205% increase will eliminate the
unsafe conditions as we know them today that do exist throughout the Town. And to keep our roads and
highways in excellent condition I have proposed to employ two additional motor equipment operators
hopefully this increase in operators will help the town's eligibility to receive additional Chips funds. I am
proposing an increase oflocal fundings for that purpose at $60,000 level. The building and codes budget
has increased by one additional codes enforcement officer to start early in 1995 and the possibility of a
second person to work in the zoning and the subdivision regulation area. Emergency Services funds, the
over all request of 1,903,376. for emergency services has been trimmed to 1,729,039. this cut represents
approximately a 10% slash in actual operating and capital improvement funds that were requested. The
proposed budget is down from 1994 actual budget by $273,000 approximately 13.6%. Lets talk about our
sewer. The Quaker Road Sewer Tax will decrease from $129.47 per point to as you heard this evening
$128.12 per point, down $1.35. Pershing Ashley Coolidge Sewer District will increase approximately
$14.66 per resident while Reservoir Park will decrease at about $32.00 per resident all other district
basically will remain the same. Water property and use rates. The water tax rate is projected to decrease
approximately $1.32 per thousand to $1.31 per thousand for the Queensbury parent district. Through
consolidating all other districts into the parent district economy of size and a reduction of administrative
expenses the district will see a slight decrease, however some smaller districts will experience an increase
including Hiland Park where they have not been paying their share will go from 37 cents per thousand to
$1.31, Sherman Avenue Extension will go from 94 cents to $1.31 and the Peggy Ann District will go from
approximately $1.09 to that same $1.31. Administrative Assistant Personnel Director I strongly and I mean
this strongly recommend the new position of Administrative AssistantlPersonnel Director to be included in
the 95 Town fiscal plan. The person in this position will be responsible for managing all matters relating to
recruiting, hiring, re-training and evaluating town employees as directed by the Town Board. Future
responsibilities, potential responsibilities would include: 1. Develop and administer personnel policies as
directed by the Town Board 2. Maintain personnel records for all employees 3. Foster and develop
programs for improvement for employee effectiveness including programs of training, development, safety,
health and counseling and to supervise the Civil Service Labor Relations also safety, Federal, State
regulations and mandates such as DOT drug testing programs, Civil Rights, American Disability Act,
Family leave Act, OSHA Standards, Sexual Harassment, and I could go on and on. There is a need for the
Town to further develop rules and regulations and procedures relating to the laws mentioned above. I
firmly believe that we could be liable for claims and lawsuits as a direct result of not having the adequate
rules and regulations in place on the above mentioned matters. Further I am convinced that the Department
Heads spend considerable time dealing with personnel matters that take a substantial time away from his or
her regular professional duties and responsibilities. Also, this involves the department head with problems
in an area of expertise for which in my opinion they are untrained and ill equipped to deal with. This
position is budgeted for approximately $25,000. Thank you very much.
OPEN FORUM
Attorney Tom McDonough-I am associated with my wife and mother in law the Grey Court Motel on
Route 9...Addressing the issue of the sign ordinance ... noted a billboard on Route 9 that advertised
room rates at $39.00 what the big sign gave away the little lettering on the bottom took away... Noted the
existing sign ordinance does not take care of the problem that was generated.
Where there is an off set off premises sign permitted as in the billboard area it certainly there should be
some ability for those who pass those rules that could prohibit this type of advertising, it does cause
problems not only to the local business in the area but to the traveling public. Asked the Town Board to
remedy this problem
Discussion held by the Town Board-Attorney Dusek-Noted the sign ordinance should be looked at and see
what revisions can be made...Councilman Monahan-Suggested standard oflettering, the legibility from a
distance...Executive Director Martin-Noted that was used as a solution on tenant listing on shopping center
SIgnS...
Mr. Dave Kenny-Questioned 6" lettering on a billboard would not work...also noted that the business that is
advertised on the billboard is closed for the winter.
Executive Director Martin-There would have to be different standards created.
Mr. Jim Weller-Earlier you adopted a resolution setting a public hearing on the Nemer property, questioned
why the hearing wasn't set earlier?
Attorney Dusek-We set them up 30 days to give us a chance to get around to the different agencies and get
their approvals that we need to get and to send out notices of the EAF to adjoining communities...
Mr. Weller-Route 149 Corridor Study was initiated in Feb. of 1993,
I met with the Planning Committee in June and they indicated by the middle of August the commercial
regulations are going to be finished and adopted in the middle of October...1 have read that you are studying
rezoning in other parts of the Town I am curious of what the status of this Route 149 is...
Councilman Monahan-Jim and I have a meeting set up Wednesday, we have met several other times in the
interim, hopefully we will have the corrected version, Wednesday to see if it needs anymore fine tuning.
As soon as that is completed it will be brought before the Town Board for comment and then it will be set
up for public hearing.
Executive Director Martin-Hearing probably in November...Rural Commercial
Mr. Weller-When can we have something on the Residential Areas?
Councilman Monahan-It is too soon to give a date.
Mr. Weller-I am totally confused as to why it takes two years to give consideration to the rezoning of that
particular corridor when it was to serve as a model for the rest of the town.
Councilman Monahan-Described the project and noted she felt it had to be done in stages...
Mr. Weller-Asked for a sign on the corner of Bay and Route 149.
Mr. Tom McDermott-Sunnyside Road-Noted that we have been riding motorcycles on our property for 55
years, now people are telling us we cannot do it because it is an infraction. We are not bothering anybody
we are in the back. Noted a lot of people have learned to ride there, whole families come and ride.
Executive Director Martin-Neighbors came in my office complaining increased motorcycle usage in the
corn fields behind their properties, bulldozer was back in there putting in a new dirt track in the corn field.
I went to the site, I went to Elva your grandmother and she gave you permission to do that and I issued you
a letter stating to stop because it was an expansion of a non-conforming use of the property and that is
where it was left. I have drafted a Court Sununons and it is in the Attorney's Office to be reviewed if it is
worth pursuing...1 have a petition of about six or seven people who live along that street that are
complaining about it also. There has been riding for years, but this appeared to be a new site for the riding.
The neighbors are basically accepting of the existing trails but the new location has got them upset.
Supervisor Champagne-What they sense and it appears Tom that you are going to have some kind of racing
back there, motor cross racing or whatever the word is...it looks to the neighbors that there is going to be a
build up of activity there.
Mr. McDermott-Nobody is allowed to ride unless they have my permission, it is only the people that I ride
with. To have this back there for two months in the fall is the only time we can have it because they plow it,
we do not ride in it, we ride in the back when it is plowed up and corn is in there we do not ride in it. It is
good practice for us on the weekends that we cannot go too far...
Supervisor Champagne-The difference between this year and last year is that we now have a constructed
track.
Mr. McDermott-We have four jumps and eight or ten corners.
Before the track ran closer to their houses being that we are going to do this we moved it out in the back so
there would be less noise and less dust.
Mr. Tom Philo-Lake Sunnyside-I am a neighbor-Described the history of the riders in that field, making the
track is nothing new I ran a bulldozer there myselLl954 and in the 60's ... is there anyway that this is
grandfathered, that was a track they used to race on it...
Attorney Dusek-Noted he was looking into the issue, are there existing rights to continue the activity...the
property is zoned residential, non-conforming use is allowed to stand....that is what we have to check out...
Councilman Monahan-I will re-iterate what I have said for fifteen years I think the County with the amount
of interest there is in this area and off road vehicles needs to think of addressing that, we have provided
snowmobile trails in fact snowmobile trails actually were built on a lot of the trails that the motorcyclists
built and the snowmobiles took them over and made it illegal to ride the off road bikes on it or ATVs we
have made alot of places for the mountain bikes I really think on the County level they need to address
picking up one hundred acres and putting in some courses, I think it would answer a terrific need in this
area.
Mr. McDermott -Spoke to the Board indicating that there are communities that have A TVs and
Recreational Vehicle trails...
Mrs. Barbara Bennett -Queensbury- Thank you for reviewing the budget. Questioned if there would be a
referendum on the Water Treatment Plant expansion?
Councilman Caimano- The cost of the plant as currently perceived will be cheaper, with Hudson Falls and
everybody coming in will be less in terms of the water rate than the 8 million dollar plant would have been
without Hudson Falls. We had no capacity to put Hudson Falls in it, that was one of the reasons why we
wanted to make a larger plant, so we would have enough water for us and help reduce the cost. This is not
a new plant but an expansion of an existing plant and therefor does not go to referendum.
Supervisor Champagne-Asked for further comments...Open Forum Closed.
