SUPER VISOR BaRGaS-Noted that for 0 long time the West Glens Falls Squad has hod on annual
contract with the Town of Queensbury for ambulance services, they ore currently in the lost
y<
year dollar wise of a five year agreement with two years to go. Noted that the squad is looking
for a letter tnat says; that the Town is under contract with the Squad and intends to continue
to be under contract with the Squad. Noted that they plan to pay for the building with the
proceeds from the Town's payment plus donations that they get in.
PLlNEY TUCKER-Ward lþQueensbury. Noted that the white lights at the intersection of
Luzerne Roadþ Peggy Ann Roadþ and Potter Road do not light up the intersections very well.
Asked if the someone could contact the Power Company to see if they can't replace these
lights.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Noted that she has a request for a light on the corner of Bay Road
and Dream Lake Road. (Turned over to Councilman Kurosaka for investigation)
MR:' TUCKER-Asked about the purchase of the courthouseÞ asked if the Town will have enough
money to pay for this?
SUPER VISOR BORGOS-Noted that they should have. Stated they have only used between
five and seven per cent of their legal bonding capacity. The annual cost of the bonds on this
property will not exceed what the rental was.
MR. TUCKER-Asked if the Town's taxes would have to go up fifty per cent to maintain the
services the Town is getting now?
SUPER VISOR BORGOS-Noted that if the proposal as recommended by the Governor if this
were to go through the Governor proposes eliminating entirely the $235þOOO that we expected
per capita aid this year plus some if not all of the other State Aids to be somewhere in the
range of $300þOOO cut in what comes into Queensbury. This would equal more than half of
the amount raised by taxes this year. Noted that for the first year they could get byþ by going
in to the surplusþ but it would use up most of the surplus. Feels that its inappropriate for the
State to begin to cut the begin to cut the aid because we built the Town's budget on their
numbers. Noted he would not like to see the State get the money in the first placeþ he would
rather see it stay on the local level somehow. Noted that none of us know for sure what is
going to happen the Governor has proposed dramatic changes in our funding mechanism.

shape and noted he sees a very positive tourism year.
MR. TUCKER-Asked if the Town of Queensbury is economically stable for 1991?
SUPER VISOR BORGOS-Noted he thinks that we are.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Noted that Councilman Monahan and himself attended the Solid
Waste Conference in New York for two days. There are a lot of good things going on in the
