Duly adopted this 18th day of September, 1995, by the following vote: AYES: Mrs. Monahan, Mrs. Goedert, Mrs. Pulver, Mr. Champagne NOES: None ABSENT:Mr. Turner ATTORNEY MATTERS ATTORNEY DUSEK-Spoke to the board noting he has spoken with the Village Attorney Martin Auffredou concerning the Hudson Falls contract, noting everything looks good. They are trying to work out the dates on payment schedules as we have requested on this. They are also checking with their bonding counsel to find out how much time they have to pay the $100,000. They want to complete the SEQRA process before they sign the contract. The only other item that they would like to explore with the board which they indicated they can do is whether or not the board would be willing to extend that ability to sell their equity interest to anytime not just at the end of twenty years. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Wouldn't have a problem with it. COUNCILMAN PULVER-Sounds okay. ATTORNEY DUSEK-Noted the board doesn't have to make a decision tonight. Doesn't see what the difference would be in the end as long as we have the first option and it only goes to another county, town, or village. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Questioned how long the SEQRA process could take? ATTORNEY DUSEK-Mr. Auffredou indicated will try to move along as quickly as he can. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Questioned if they would be interested in signing the contract contingent on the EIS? ATTORNEY DUSEK-Will have better indication on this in the next couple of weeks as they commence the process. DISCUSSION HELD TONY GEISS, O'BRIEN & GERE/NORTH QUEENSBURY SEWER PROJECT SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-The intent here is to finalize the recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Everything we are dealing with is contingent on the legal ramifications of the agreement with the engineers and also Fred Austin's approval, the County Attorney and EP A. MR. GEISS-Presented to board members Presentation Materials Booklet regarding Warren County Sewer Project Town of Queensbury Wastewater Facilities, explaining each step that they would be proposing. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. MARTIN-Questioned if there is enough accurate information for this area for an accurate picture of the project? Questioned what type of work is going to be done in terms of exploration of depth to bedrock, de-watering to really get a handle on this terrain and the makeup of the terrain in this area and how that's going to impact the project specifically? Recommended giving the people in this area an indication of exactly what they are going to be faced with for lateral hookup charges. Noted there needs to be a lot of questions answered regarding the specifics of this project and how that's going to affect cost and everyone's perception of this system. MR. GEISS-Noted their approach would be to start out by scoping and setting up the scope with the town and county and bringing issues raised to the forefront. Concerned with the true cost of the project and how you achieve that. Would not be just using the cost developed to date, but want to look at developing our cost. If there are alternatives beyond the preferred alternate the comparison of cost are done with our estimating doing those so that we realize what rock and other impacts would have. Would have some fairly accurate numbers also looking at the operation and maintenance of the facility as well as the lateral hookup cost going out to the people. It would be a district formation description that would have to be developed so that the people in the district would know their cost per unit and how they would hookup would be discussed at that point along of what their estimated charges outside of their yearly charges might be. Noted there might be yearly cost to the unit as part of the district, but there maybe a one time hookup cost that they'll incur to hookup to the sewer itself. The significant cost will be the construction and the county has indicated that they would prefer to put money into the construction to save 0 & M on this project. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Questioned if they would be using a different solution in different areas of that district due to the terrain and bedrock in the area? MR. GEISS-There maybe an outside possibility, would lean more towards the installation of the small diameters sewers to service the area, need to do a detail investigation of the area. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Noted that has been the concern, that there hasn't been a detailed investigation of that area in the work that has been done before. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-There still needs to be some more work done given the fact the original project was scheduled to go to Pickle Hill. A lot of study and money went into that and at that point they took what balance was left in the budget which was about $90,000 and did a scoping and came up with something that is semi-complete and this is what we need to finalize. Pleased to see where O'Brien and Gere is willing to backup still using some of the data that is available and putting it all together and bringing it to us in the final product. Questioned if O'Brien and Gere the final development of preferred alternatives and the need to prepare a Supplemental EIS if this will be all part of the first phase and then O'Brien and Gere will come in with a price? MR. GEISS-Yes. Will be doing an analysis and a system selection, will not be redoing the work that has been done, but will look at what has been done. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Noted he needs to report back to Fred Austin that the board has finalized and recommended that O'Brien and Gere is the engineer for the project with a range of 1.9 to 2.2 million for engineering only. It will be done in phases the first phase being what was explained. The second phase would be the construction phase, this is the way the bidding would proceed. Attorney Dusek to stay in touch will Attorney Lawson to make sure all details are taken care of. ATTORNEY DUSEK-Noted he has spoken with Attorney Lawson concerning the RFP's and the current status of the proposals as well as the anticipation of a Supplemental EIS also the funding for the project. At this particular point and time he doesn't have the information needed to give any solid advice. Attorney Lawson has indicated an awareness of all these issues and is currently working on them and gathering information that is needed, will be furnishing information for Attorney Dusek to review. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Noted that anything that is done will be contingent upon those approvals. GILBERT BOHEM-Questioned why only hearing from O'Brien and Gere? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Have seen C.T. Male and Clough Harbour at the county. The significance is that this board believes and feels strongly that O'Brien and Gere has been our engineers on the water project and have been satisfied with their performance, willing to proceed with them on the wastewater project. MR. BOHEM-Questioned who on the board attended the meeting? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Himself. Based on Mr. Geiss coming in previously and talking to the entire board, board sent Supervisor back with this decision. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Has spoken with other engineers and discussed project with thern. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. MARTIN-Recommended having another firm come in at this point, someone who can verify and clarify the issues and the work that has been done to date. MR. BOHEM-Questioned Mr. Geiss present understanding of the preferred alternate? MR. GEISS-Present understanding is to do a small diameter sewer collection system which would consist of approximately nineteen miles of small diameters sewers, three to four miles of conventional sewer and go to a treatment plant. The small diameter sewers would collect waste from the septic tanks that are there. Then there would be a secondary treatment plant located in the vicinity of the project site that would then treat the waste and discharge it under the ground for disposal. Noted the surveying becomes a very significant portion of the project because there are significant right-a-ways that would have to be obtained to put the pumps on properties such that the septic tanks would drain to the pumps and then the pump would go into the system. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. MARTIN-Noted that most of the roads in this area are roads by use with any sort of installation of line or pumping station it will require an easement or some sort of acquisition in every instance. MR. GEISS-Agreed that easements would have to be obtained. The town or county would not put any facilities onto private property. MR. BOHEM-Questioned if this was a metered system? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-One of the recommendations by Clough Harbour as a result of a meeting with some of the residents there was a concern that by metering at the septic tank would cause less usage.... MR. GEISS-Metering with the small diameters is viable especially with the septic tank discharge. MR. BOEHM-Questioned who will pay for all of this? MR. GEISS-Noted there is a ninety percent federal grant that will pay for ninety percent of the project? MR. BOEHM-Questioned if this was a fixed amount? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-It's fixed. Explained that the understanding is that the grant will pay ninety percent of that, the remaining five percent will be written off as a result of the million dollars that we had gotten from state funding for the original engineering report. We will be picking up the balance of the five percent, how the five percent is spent or how its collected is unknown yet. Noted the questions being asked are critical, but would like to get an overview of things tonight and then what we see happening in the near future, once we get these people on board we will go right back to the original plan and meet at the North Queensbury Fire House and bring these issues out. MR. BOEHM-Questioned if the board will be establishing a citizens committee regarding this matter? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Is yet to be determined. MR. BOEHM-Noted it seems like O'Brien and Gere are going to be starting before there is a determination of what the relative proportion will be. The direction might change significantly if the residents find out they might have to pay fifty percent of the project. MR. GEISS-Prior to going and looking for an alternative the percentage amount of the grant will be known. MR. JOHN SALVADOR-Noted the key to discharging wastewater within the Lake George basin in North Queensbury is to keep the flows low this is why the metered pumping. Questioned if he sees any fatal flaws in this concept? MR. GEISS-Metering is only going to be a method of targeting the flows. MR. SALVADOR-Noted there are many summer residents in this area, when they are here, they pay. In the winter they don't burden the system. Questioned if their firm has any experience in what can be expected for flows from these kind of users where it is metered? MR. GEISS-On sewer flows, doesn't know if they have any. Does know their experience where they have worked with water, water metering, water rates, adjustments water rates. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Noted as Mr. Geiss works this through, he will have more answers. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned if the board has received any corresponding range of numbers from other various engineers? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-No. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned how can a decision be made? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-We go out and in some cases we go out for an RFP and in other cases because we've had experience with the previous engineers or attorney's, these are the rights and privileges that a board has in order to get the kind of service that we're looking for. But, if we feel that we have someone that we can work well with that has not erred in the previous projects by far we'd rather use them than bringing in XYZ or others that we may have had bad experiences with, that's the difference. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned if the work that O'Brien and Gere is doing at the water plant is fixed priced engineering? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Correct. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned if O'Brien and Gere will be paid on a fixed price for this work? MR. GEISS-Willing to set up a contract as a not to exceed price or we can go to a specific amount, willing to do this with the Board of Supervisors. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Noted the first phase is what O'Brien & Gere is finalizing, they are going in there and completing an RFP. MR. BOEHM -Concerned with the cost of this project when there is a piece of it that isn't fixed price, that hasn't been bid with a number of different outfits. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Noted O'Brien & Gere will come back to the board with an absolute cost. At that point this information will be taken to the residents in form of a referendum so the residents will have the final vote. MR. BOEHM-Concerned about first phase. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-That is part of the 14 million dollars. MR. BOEHM -Questioned if the engineering bill for the first phase will be less than a million dollars? MR. GEISS-Correct. SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Next step to go to the county noting full support and recommendation from board to proceed ahead. TOWN BOARD-It was the decision of the Town Board to pass the following resolution. RESOLUTION REGARDING TOWN OF QUEENSBURY NORTH QUEENSBURY SEWER PROJECT RESOLUTION NO. 504, 95 INTRODUCED BY: Mrs. Betty Monahan WHO MOVED FOR ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mr. Fred Champagne WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has reviewed the credentials of O'Brien and Gere Engineers, Inc. an engineering firm which has responded to a request for proposals for the Town of Queensbury North Queensbury Sewer Project that has been previously submitted by the County of Warren, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby indicates that it recommends to the County O'Brien and Gere Engineers as the County reviews the requests for proposals and would indicate to the County the boards familiarity with O'Brien and Gere Engineers and the fact that they believe that they will be able to handle the project and perform the services adequately. Duly adopted this 18th day of September, 1995, by the following vote: Ayes: Mrs. Pulver, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Champagne Noes: None Absent:Mr. Turner Abstain:Mrs. Goedert OPEN FORUM MR. SALVADOR-Noted Mr. Martins concerns for obtaining easements regarding the North Queensbury Sewer Project. Questioned if obtaining easements for the North Queensbury Project could cost the project anything? EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. MARTIN-His opinion thinks it could. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned the status of business licenses? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Haven't moved on this yet. MR. SAL V ADOR- Thinks it's time to re-address business licenses. Noted a number of vendors were present at the Balloon Festival. Questioned if they have transient merchant licenses? EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. MARTIN-Noted the Balloon Festival is a non-profit operation and a lot of the individuals themselves are non-profit. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned if Mr. Grishkot charges for the RV's at the festival? SUPERVISOR CHAMP AGNE- They have never charged. There has always been a donation, but no charge. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned if they weren't not-for-profit vendors would the town be able to charge them? COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Not sure if the town would have any control because it is county property. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MR. MARTIN-Noted this would be something to look into. MR. SALVADOR-Spoke to the board regarding Fuller Road. Questioned has anything been done regarding this? ATTORNEY DUSEK-As far as the Fuller Road abandonment stated unless the board instructs differently it's over with. We are currently looking at whether the town can acquire an easement for purposes of mountain bikes, and things of that nature. MR. SALVADOR-Questioned if the road was abandoned? ATTORNEY DUSEK-Noted Mr. Salvador is welcomed to look at the paperwork that was filed on this. PLINEY TUCKER, QUEENSBURY-Questioned if the board has signed the agreement with the State over the park? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-The final request for funding Harry Hansen still hasn't been sent out yet. MR. TUCKER-Questioned if they are on a time clock? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Doesn't believe there is a time frame, will follow up on matter. COUNCILMAN PULVER-Noted the SEQRA process has to be done before anything can be done down there. MR. TUCKER-Questioned if the lease has been signed with the county? SUPERVISOR CHAMPAGNE-Can't do anything until the SEQRA is done. MR. TUCKER-Questioned how long the SEQRA process would take? ATTORNEY DUSEK-We're hearing back from the other involved agencies on the SEQRA part of it. It seems like it would be helpful to go ahead and have the environmental phase one audit done before the SEQRA review is done. The board would have to go ahead and pay the money without having any signed agreement. Stated under the circumstances and because of the use of the property thinks if the board wants to proceed ahead with this they would be well advised to spend the money and have that as part of the SEQRA process. If this is the case he can coordinate that date with O'Brien and Gere and schedule everything for the next two to three weeks.
