WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently
awarded a $186,000 grant to the Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District (Warren
County) for work to be performed to the benefit of the Town of Queensbury, that carries with it
the requirement of a local match which can take the form of services in kind, as well as matching
funds, and
WHEREAS, such grant funds are to address stormwater runoff for Halfway Brook in the
Town of Queensbury (the “Project”), specifically, the major stormwater outfall from Route 9
into the brook adjacent to the Enterprise Rent-a-Car which is the single largest source of
stormwater runoff pollutants into Halfway Brook, and
WHEREAS, Warren County will provide the “in-kind” services in connection with such
grant funds, and
WHEREAS, as a full partner in the Project, the Town of Queensbury previously agreed
to provide the 50/50 matching funds, and
WHEREAS, in 2006, it was estimated that the Town would contribute $186,000 (to
match DEC’s cash grant of $186,000) but since the estimates are now two years old, the Town
Board wishes to add a 10% contingency to their match of $186,000, bringing the Town’s match
to an amount not to exceed $204,600, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to finance the proposed Project through the Town-
Wide Drainage Fund #66 established by Resolution No.: 475,2006, and

the proposed Project,
