Queensbury, said solutions being more specifically identified in
that resolution, and

Queensbury, and as a result of the presentations made, as well as

lead option and the primary focus of the study, and

indications that members of the community in North Queensbury are
supportive of a particular option that was previously identified
and discussed by representatives of Warren County and Clough,
Harbour and Associates, engineers,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby

BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
recognizes that other alternatives will be discussed in the
Supplemental EIS as required by the regulations of the Department
of Environmental Conservation, and

RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury adopts
this resolution of support with the understanding that there will
be no change in the contract with Clough, Harbour & Associates and
no additional funding required by the County, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury also
adopts this resolution with the understanding that the engineering
studies and the Supplemental EIS will be made at no cost to the
Town of Queensbury, and
BE IT FURTHER,
