RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF WATER BY ANITA SULLIVAN
RESOLUTION NO.: 321.2005
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Roger Boor
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. John Strough
WHEREAS, Ms. Anita Sullivan recently rebuilt on property located at 3 Honeysuckle Lane in the
Town of Queensbury, which is located in the Shore Colony Water District; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Sullivan installed sod, which must be watered over a two week period in order
to thrive and Shore Colony Water District Regulations do no permit watering sod by use of
sprinkles; and
WHEREAS, the Town Water Department has calculated that the amount of water required by
Ms. Sullivan for a two week period from June 23, 2005 through and including July 7, 2005 will
have a total cost to the District of $270. This is based on the total gallons to be used, factoring in
labor, power and equipment per gallon based upon last year’s Shore Colony District production
and usage; and
WHEREAS, the Town wishes to forego any enforcement action based upon a violation of Shore
Colony Water District Regulations and to instead allow Ms. Sullivan to pay $270, the fair value of
the water to be used, in exchange for allowing her to use the Water District water during the off-
peak hours of 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. for the two week period from June 23, 2005 through and
including July 7, 2005 and that during this time she may use a sprinkler to deliver the water to the
sod; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Water Department to revise the Water District Regulations
to allow for similar agreements in the future so that Shore Colony Water District residents are
treated equitably and consistently.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that the Town of Queensbury Water Department is authorized to bill and to accept
payment of $270 from Anita Sullivan as payment for water from the Shore Colony Water District
for the period from June 23, 2005 through and including July 7, 2005. Such funds are to be
applied to the benefit of the Shore Colony Water District; and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that in exchange for her payment of $270 the Town of Queensbury will forego any
enforcement action against Anita Sullivan based upon her usage of water in violation of Shore
Colony Water District Regulations for and in exchange for her agreement to pay the fair value of
the water received; and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that Anita Sullivan shall be permitted to use a sprinkler to apply water to the sod at
her residence located at 3 Honeysuckle Lane during the non-peak hours of 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.
from June 23, 2005 through and including July 7, 2005.
