RESOLUTION REGARDING WARREN COUNTY SHERIFF'S CONTRACT
RESOLUTION NO. 724, 1991
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Ronald Montesi WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mrs. Marilyn Potenza
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has reviewed the
Sheriff's Contract and notes that fact that the same is set to
expire this year and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has reviewed also
with the Supervisor the fact that he sent a letter to the County
earlier this year advising them of the fact that the Town believes
the contract to be expiring such letter having further information
contained therein to speak for itself, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury acknowledges and
recognizes the fact that it attempted to negotiate a contract with
the County which would provide additional sheriff's coverage for an
amount of approximately $150,000 and that offer and negotiations
was rejected by the County, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has carefully
considered this matter and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury after reviewing
this matter finds and determines that the Sheriff's obligations
would normally consist of also providing protection to the
residents of the Town of Queensbury and the Town considers the
contract with the Sheriff's Dept. to provide additional services
over and above what the Sheriff is obligated to provide under
applicable State and County Law
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby indicates
that it does not at this time desire to authorize any contract with
the Sheriff's Dept. and hereby also directs that the Town
Supervisor notify the appropriate County Officials who are required
to be notified with notices under the contract of the fact that the
Town of Queensbury is not at this time willing to enter into any
contract for Sheriff's services for the year 1992, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that as part of this resolution it is determined by the
Town Board of the Town of Queensbury based upon the Sheriff's
remarks that there will be adequate police coverage insofar as the
County would normally be expected to furnish police coverage to the
Town of Queensbury and that this resolution should be in no fashion
interpreted to mean that the Sheriff should not provide normal and
usual police coverage.
Duly adopted this 30th day of December, 1991, by the following
vote:
AYES: Mr. Kurosaka, Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mr. Borgos
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Mrs. Monahan
