forth a number of terms and conditions including a condition that the Squad will not purchase or enter
into any binding contract to purchase any piece of apparatus, equipment, vehicles, real property, or
make any improvements that would require the Squad to acquire a loan or mortgage or use money
placed in a “vehicles fund” without prior approval of the Queensbury Town Board, and

rentingpurchase
monthly oxygen and the Squad has the opportunity to an oxygen regeneration
system for an amount of approximately $30,000, or a monthly loan payment of approximately $600,
and such purchase will provide the Squad with the ability to fill its own oxygen tanks on-site, and
WHEREAS, although moneys for oxygen provision are already allotted in the Squad’s 2005

since the Squad will need to transfer moneys from its operating expenses account to its debt service
account, and

agencies and ultimately the citizens of the Town of Queensbury,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby approves of the West Glens Falls
Emergency Squad, Inc.’s purchase of an oxygen regeneration system for a sum of approximately
$30,000, and authorizes that moneys shall be transferred from the Squad’s operations expenses
account to its debt services account to provide for such purchase, and

RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor and/or
Budget Officer to take any and all action necessary to effectuate the terms of this Resolution.
