RESOLUTION NO. 218, 2008
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Ronald Montesi
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. John Strough
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board duly established the Town of Queensbury
Consolidated Water District (the "District") in accordance with New York Town Law, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to improve the District’s water transmission facilities
by replacing water mains on Northup Drive, Bullard Avenue and Linden Avenue and a section of
Park Place installing a water main and copper service lines to the homes served, all in accordance
with New York State Town Law §202-b, and
WHEREAS, Burley-Guminiak & Associates, professional engineers, have prepared an
Engineer’s Report (the “Map and Plan”) concerning the proposed water transmission system
improvements together with an estimate of the cost of such improvements, and
WHEREAS, the Map and Plan was duly filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's Office and
made available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, although the Town of Queensbury is a town partially within the Adirondack
Park the District does not contain State lands assessed at more than thirty percent (30%) of the
total taxable assessed valuation of the District, so permission of the State Comptroller to the
proposed expenditure is not required under Town Law §202-b(5);
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED:
1. The proposed improvements are:
(a) replacement of existing 6” diameter asbestos cement (ACP) water mains
with class 52 (heavy wall) 8” ductile iron pipe (DIP) along Northup Drive,
Bullard Avenue, Linden Avenue and a section of Park Place between Bullard and
Linden Avenue;
(b) replacement of service laterals to individual property lines with ¾” copper
pipe.
2. The maximum amount proposed to be expended for such improvements is
$406,000.00.
3. The cost of the improvements will be paid from the current funds in the Capital
Reserve Fund of the District; therefore, the annual cost of the District for debt service and
operation and maintenance costs to the typical property and the typical one- or two-family home
will not be increased and may decrease as a result of the project.
4. The proposed improvements shall be constructed and installed as specifically
delineated in the Map and Plan and in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's
specifications, ordinances or local laws, and any State laws or regulations, and in accordance with
approved plans and specifications and under competent engineering supervision.

further action as may be required or authorized by law.
