MEMBERS PRESENT Supervisor Stephen Borgos Councilman Marilyn Potenza Councilman Ronald Mon tesi Councilman Betty Monahan TOWN ATTORNEY-PAUL DUSEK MEMBERS ABSENT Councilman George Kurosaka i PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COUNCILMAN POTENZA RESOLUTION CALLING FOR QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION NO. 579, Introduced by Mrs. Marilyn Potenza who moved for its adoption, seconded by Mrs. Betty Monahan: RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of,Queensbury hereby moves into the Queensbury Board of Health. Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Mrs. Marilyn Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Borgos Noes: None Absent: Mr. Kurosaka OLD BUSINESS Gary Holtz-Sewer Variance on Tax Map No. 38 Block I Lot 12 COUNCILMAN POTENZA-One of the questions was there any wells around...your comments was not within l00 feet of where you plan on... j MR. LAMB JR.-So. G/Pns Falls-I went back up today to check and I found the person at one of the camps and oppa°ently they are renters that were there prior to this and Mr....had indicated to me,who did the map the he had talked that there was not any within a l00 ' there is in'fact wells, the person in the second camp over told me where they were, the other people did not know exactly where they were. They are in the`bosements that is why we had not really been able to find them. 1 went up and got measurements and Hatin went up and got different measurements there ore wells, closer than l00 feet, I went to the field and he went to the property line so there will be a difference in the amount of footage. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-You went to the tile field and he went to the property line. MR. LAMB-So the information that I received today was different than what I received before. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-What measurements did you have what is the closest? MR. LAMB-the one at the right hand side of the property as you are facing, there is a camp there, and again it was a general description of where it was, from where the well is to where the distribution box is I came up with around 80'... SUPERVISOR BORGOS-This is very good soil as I recall. MR. LAMB-The other point is the typography lays away from all of the wells. Everyone one of the camps is still going away from... there is no way any kind of ground water or something like that could seep into these particular places. The septic systems of the other camps are so close to the other wells, I know that is a past problem. The other two are in the eighty foot, seventy five foot range. Those are the three camps that are the closest. These are all substandard lots, sixty by one hundred lots. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The other night we handled a similar situation on pilot knob road dealing with a much shorter distance and poorer soil conditions. We did approve that, but that does not mean necessarily... MR. LAMB-I did go to the Board of Health, and also to... SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Did they give you any information? Did they mark it approved? MR. LAMB-They approved the system, we have that on record.... COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Do you know the depth of the wells? MR. LAMB-They have been running depths it is very shallow, between twenty-five and thirty feet. _ DAVE HATIN-Director of Building & Codes-Yesterday I went to the camp on the east side of the property talked to the person who rents it and he told me approximately where the well Ll is. Again there is no exact location, I measured it from the property line to approximately where he told me the well was, fifty-five to sixty feet, at what angle you want to use. I talked today to the person who owns the camps to the west of the property he verified the same information that Mr. Lamb did that the wells are indeed in the basements, the septic fields and tanks are directly behind the residence. I measured to the house, the outside house to the property line, I really do not have an exact location on the system as it is going to sit on the property. I came up with seventy feet from the property line from the yellow house which would be the furthest away, sixty three feet from the red house to the same spot on the property line, those are the measurements. Then you add into what you show on the map and add another ten to twelve feet to those distances. Like he says, the topography is in back of the property where this field is going to go is lower than the rest of the grade so it is much lower, especially on the house where it is only fifty-five to sixty foot away, that, sits up on a hill, somewhat of a hill on the road. The elevation is ten to fifteen feet. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Really when you get right down to it Dave, when you get to the bottom of the well and the bottom of the septic tank you are going to have the septic tank still higher than the well right? MR. HATIN-I have no way of verifying how deep the wells are Betty. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I know that informatlon was not given to you how deep the wells were. MR. HA TIN-They are renters, there is no way they could other than the point in the...I talked to the Lady who lives to the south of the property she has a point inside her foundation also, they are points so they cannot be that deep, nobody really knows. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-That was practiced up until twenty to twenty five years ago standard, put it in the basements,which does not mean it is good but it was done. MR. HA TIN-As far as depth of wells i have no knowledge and I do not think the people can accurately give me. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-If the well is up higher than the septic tank you may still have the septic tank actually... MR. HA TIN-Anything is possible. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-As for as you know, Mr. Lamb has indicated that Health Dept. has stamped an approval. MR. HA TIN-The Health Dept. has stamped the plans that he has and we have them on file, they are stamped by the health Dept. COUNCILMAN MONTt:SI Dave not to be argumentative that stamp appears, we asked for the information on the wells so obviously the State of New York Health Dept. will have to assume did not have that "cause it did not show anyplace. Not to say that the State of New York would now disapprove that if they knew the wells were closer. MR. HA TIN-Somethinj I would like to add to that Ron, he is seeking a variance for seventy feet roughly we got that seventy foot if you draw a seventy foot circumference all the wells are outside that range. So you are looking at the same distances. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I sometimes have a problem with an undersized lot that isn't the owners fault that, that lot is undersized if you. grant a variance on one side because everything else conforms but in this particular lot we are going both sides are within seventy feet. That rule is supposed to apply so you don't mix grey water with drinking water, we are really going to push it with both sides. MR. HA TIN-That is why they are here. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-What is the consensus of the Board? SSA- . COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Is the Ordinance along Glen Lake, the /00 or 200 feet? MR. HA TIN-The 200' only applies to lakeshore, the 100' is between well and septic, the 200' is from the lakeshore to the septic. SUPERVISOR BOR GOS-What is your recommendation if any? We have the Board of Health saying yes. MR. HATIN-I think it has gone through the Board of Health, we have measured it out, the wells are within the same variance that he is asking for I do not think you are increasing the problem, granted it is a variance from what we require but if the_Dept. of Health looks at _ it that way I would hope they would take into consideration those seepage, Betty has mentioned... SUPERVISOR BORGOS-In theory at least they know more than we do, from that expertise xpertrse area... COUNCILMAN MONTF5I-1 have a thought, I am not particularly interested in approving this, there may be another Board member that isn't that leaves us with a two to two, may be a two to two situation I just asked our Town Counsel what happens in a case like that and his opinion is if we are going to decline this variance we probably should have more information in terms of engineering. If in SUPERVISOR BORGOS-i'ou are saying if we vote on it, two to two it would be turned down, if we table it for more information... COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I think we need an engineer on this...I do not think any of us have the capability or the expertise to determine or not whether or not we are making a hazard to these wells. COUNCILMAN POTENZA-We got the approval from the N. Y. State Board of Health COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-You got the approval with no knowledge of where the wells are. COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Obviously they did not think they did not find the need to have that information and we have the recommendation from our building dept. head. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 do not think you do have the recommendation of the Bldg. Dept. I think Dave would like to take a neutral think on this... COUNCILMAN POTENZA-He just gave it whether he wanted to or not. In any event I think we owe it to the Gentleman to tell him what information you are looking fora COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-The owness is on us to hire an engineer at the Town Expense to to look at this to make sure we are protecting the neighborhood and that is what I want to do. MR. LAMB-Mr. Kurosaka has also signed these plans. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Unfortunately he is not here to be able to discuss that with us. MR. LAMB-He did look them over and he has signed them... SUPERVISOR BORGOS-In that particular case I probably would not let him vote. COUNCILMAN POTENZA-I do not have a problem with the Board wanting more information I just think it is only fair to tell the gentleman what information you are looking for. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-1 will, I just asked the Counsel, he said that if we, 4f the vote was not because it,was either four noes or three of one no or two to two no and no by default and he had to go to court to defend that action of a no, he would want to know exactly how deep those wells were next I door, if they were twenty-five foot wells if they are points who knows, j they may be twelve feet we would like to know specifically the exact number foot, lineor feet and the elevation. it just seems that if you are dealing with one well on one side and you are giving a variance to one side of a property we did not have much problem with that. Here we are taking a sixty by one hundred foot lot boxing it in on both sides with wells, we do not know the depth of and footages that we are not one hundred percent sure of. PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-Perhaps if I' could be of some assistance to the Board one of the criteria that the ordinance sets forth that you must find if you are going to approve the variance is that it will not be materially detrimental to the purposes and objectives of this ordinance: or to other adjoining properties or otherwise conflict with subjectives of any plan or policies of the Town. So, if that is,what you have to find then the converse would have to be true if you are going to disapprove that you would have to be able to say,-.an what basis it would be detrimental to that property to be able to substantiate that decision. That is what my recommendation is to the Board is debating that issue perhaps an engineering opinion would be useful to the Board. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Mrs. Monahan has indicated that she wishes to have the Board retain an engineer at the Town expense to certify that everything is acceptable and to get the measurements, how does the rest of the Board feel? COUNCILMAN MONTESI-i need that information to make a decision ... COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-...it has to be to make a decision as the Board of Health we are ithe ones that need it. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-...it 'would not take a lot of time or money to get that information concerned with putting decision off longer but perhaps in this case it is warranted. This is Thursday of a holiday weekend, we do have another Board meeting next Tuesday, just an organizational meeting for next year after that the following Tuesday for the regular Board meetings, it may indeed for the Holiday take until the meeting of the 10th before we have that information. Is that going to seriously disrupt your lives or what is the situation, are you under construction at the moment-no...requested a motion to table until the 10th of January with a motion that the Town Board will retain on engineer to get the required information and report to us. RESOLUTION TO TABLE DECISION AND HIRE ENGINEER RESOLUTION NO. 32, Introduced by-Mrs. Betty Monahan who moved for its adoption, seconded by Mr. Ronald Montesi: RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby tables a decisions on the Gary Holtz Sewer Variance until January 10th, 1989 and be it further RESOLVED, that on engineer be hired to report required information on such a sewer variance to the Town Board. Duly adopted by the follow,'nq vote: Ayes: Mr. Montesi, Mr's. Monahan, Mr. Borgos Noes: Mrs. Potenza Absent: Mr. Kurosako RESOL UTION TO ADJOURN AS BOARD OF HEAL TH RESOLUTION NO. 33, Introduced by Mrs. Betty Monahan who moved for its adoption, seconded by Mrs. Marilyn Potenza: RESOLVED, that the Queensbury hereby adjourns as the Board of Health and reconvenes as the Queensbury Town Board. Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Borgos Noes: None Absent: Mr. Kurosaka TOWN BOARD ,PUBLIC HEARINGS i FIRE COMPANY CONTACTS AND THE RESCUE SQUAD CONTRACTS- NOTICE SHOWN SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Before we start I would like to make a general statement and I will speak for myself and perhaps for the Board that we have had a number of public meetings and public hearings related to this issue this Year, I feel very comfortable with the fact that we have gotten as far as we have, and I hope that things go well today and at the end of the meeting today or tomorrow we will sign some contracts. I want to indicate again that I think that the Town has taken a tremendous step forward in this thing that I personally have called full.funding and 1 guess it is a misnomer because we are in no way funding entirely the financial needs of these organizations but rather we are attempting to fund the absolute essential items for these organizations. 1 want to stress again that all the organizations are volunteer we pay absolutely nothing for the personnel services of the people involved, if the town did have to pay for the some level of staffing we would be paying somewhere in excess of ten million dollars a year instead of about one and a half million. Which does not mean we want to that up next year guys and ladies. Volunteers put in time and effort and energy to do the work to get through the training and we do not feel it is philosophically correcf to insist that those some people put in more time knocking on doors and begging on money. We should also make it very clear that this does not mean that people should not continue to donate to.the fire companies and rescue squads, donations would always be accepted I am sure, i am sure there will still be fund drives for those things that go beyond the essentials. A little extra piece of equipment a little something extra that would be needed and beneficial. The community so for has indicated full support we are very pleased with that, prior to this public hearing each fire company received a copy of the proposed contract. each rescue squad did, first we -- will have the public hearing on the Fire Company. There have been a few comments mad by different companies, questions on different inclusions or exclusions there were a couple of slight changes made b the Board a from the agrin both cases the Fire Company and Rescue Squads there was a slight change in the r insurance provision that slight change said that in the event that if the liability portion of the insurance amount budgeted were to increase by more than l0% at any particular year the Town would agree to pay whatever that increase was, beyond the l0%. At the same time if it should decrease the liability portion only,if it should decrease by more than l0% then the Town Board would expect that the amount saved would be returned to the Town. That is the slight little difference from the previous discussions. Other than that I believe everything remains the same. we are please that we are shooting for a target of one point five million dollars, we came in at one million four hundred ninety-nine thousand seven hundred so we are three hundred dollars inside of our budget, that is pretty close, I am ho Public Hearin happy about that. Hearing first on the Fire With that I would like to open the re. Company Contracts, people either speaking and we have all heard the fors before so maybe we will hear the opposition if we do not have any opposition maybe will not have to repeat too much of the say something. for's unless someone wants to COUNCILMAN MONTESI-What is the town tax rate. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The Town tax rate the initial target that"I had was $1.50 per thousand when l ran throughout,` when I ran through the numbers the first time they were still incomplete It looked like we would still squeeze by at $1.35 when we finally got all the numbers and all the exemptions sorted out it was $1.44 and a fraction the County has rounded that to $1.45. Still within the target. Fortunately the Town Tax did drop, the Fire Tax has gone up. Still technically for the Rescue Squad people it still technically going to appear on the tax bill as fire protection tax because the State as yet has no special code to go onto the bills to show nd worked emergency medical services separately. That is bein arrange for that for next year. I did not forget that request i s justdmechanically not pas able this year. Does anyone wish to speak either for or against the contracts, either in enible terms or specifics or any special provisions of or anything else. g COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I was part of the process with Steve and I thought it was a ood process, i think some of the Fire Companies that needed some help to get some new equipment to get some new buildings are getting some of the things that they need and we are playing catch-up in some cases but it is part of the growth of our community. I think the fire companies recognize one of the concerns that Steve and I had as a committee and that was five fire companies had five different accounting systems and hopefully by this year we will have written into the contract that we all are going to have one unified one that will make it easier for each of the Board Members to at least deal with the companies and everybody will be on the some cause. I think that there is some good progress and I am delighted to have o bunch of guys and gals that are volunteers and they have to be very dedicated in this kind of work and think of the dedicatier; that went into the accident on the Northway unfortunately there were some lives lost but are awful lot of volunteers helped this weekend on Christmas weekend on that accident. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The Town Attorney mentioned to me just before the meetin that Queensbury Central had been in to talk about one slight change, they had requested a new paragraph and we had discussed this previously that the other contracts do not have. We should t announce publicly that four out of the five contracts ore Contract is for two years North Queensbury for just one year. Queensbury Central had requested one additional paragraph because of something that has come up in the last couple of weeks. Do you hove that in front Of you I do not hove mine I do not believe, just read the new paragraph. It has been made known through public hearing process that Mr. Wood of the Great Escape has indicated a desire to place new rides at the Great Escape and in order to provide the kind of protection he would like he indicated he is willing to provide a sum of I believe $150,000 for to up grade their present ladder truck to a bigger truck. Central's truck is Central way it is' and it is my understanding that they will plan to sell the present trucknand replace shpe the it and hopefully that the $150,000 will be enough to come up with a new truck and there will be no extra cost. They have requested that because this is been under consideration that they not have to avain go back throughout the process of going through the Fire Study,-Committee and Town Board Approval to buy this new piece because there should be no extra .cost to the Town. That would delay the process, do you have the language there, would you read it please? f SJ PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-Do you want to go through each change? SUPERVISOR BORGOS-If you would, because there were a couple of language a couple of date changes I think. PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-Contract with Queensbury Central Volunteer Fire Co., the first change was made in the first paragraph where it had referred previously saying that the contract would expire on December 1993, that was a typo, that should have been 1988. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-That would be true for all the Fire Company Contracts right? PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-Another change that was in question 'was in connection with paragraph 2B dealing with snow removal, rather than just saying Highway Dept. would remove the snow they requested that language be inserted saying that the Highway Dept. causes its equipment or trucks to remove the snow. SUPERVISOR BORGOc Again that was true, would you indicate which one was true for all the Fire Companies? PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-We did not make these changes in all the contracts all we did was Queensbury Central. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-But would you propose to make, I would like to seem them in all of i the contracts, to make them all the same. PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-OK. The other change made in that paragraph was a word, amendment was changed to provisions, referring to that clause this was also in paragraph two. The other change that was made was in paragraph five and this would be the only change that j would not go in all of the other contracts, the proposed change was at the very end of paragraph five, paragraph five deals with the cost of a piece of equipment that should come to the fire study, committee and the Town Board before spending more than fifty thousand dollars and at the very end of that paragraph a ninety foot tower truck has been accepted with the following language: accept a ninety foot tower truck upon contribution by the Great Escape and the sale of the fire companies existing seventy-five foot tower truck, it is further agreed and understood that in no event shall the Town of Queensbury be liable to contribute. any funds for the purchase of the ninety foot tower truck by contribution or through budget appropriation except as herein otherwise provided. The last little bit was just added today dealing with meaning that they do have the right to go up to the fifty thousand dollars in any event. Li SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Do any of the fire companies have questions or concerns about the changes in dates and the final language of snow removal? Before it said the Highway Dept. will remove now we said the Highway Dept. will cause its trucks or equipment to move the snow. COUNCILMAN POTENZA-I am delighted with the process and delighted we have come to an amicable agreement and pleased with the contracts. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Again I want to thank everybody here, hearing no other comments the Hearing is closed.

Duly adopted this 29th play of December, 1988 by the following vote: i Ayes: Mrs. Potenzo, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Borgos Noes: None Absent: Mr. Kurosaka s PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-in light of the amendments that were mode at the meeting I would recommend that in the first Resolved clause where it said enter into said contracts that the phrase as amended at this meeting be added....it would read then that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury on behalf of the fire protection district, enter into said contracts as amended at this meeting... Amendment accepted by the Town Board... PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-Prior to the vote Mr. Borgos has submitted a letter which E is on the record? (on file) a SUPERVISOR BORGOS-You refer to my letter indicating that I am an active member of Queensbury Central Fire Co. and an associate member of the West Glens Falls Fire Co. and ' I have no monetary interest whatever. 1 PUBLIC HEARING RESCUE SQUADS- NOTICE SHOWN SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Mr. Cushing you would like to speak? -f MR. JACK. CUSHING-President of the Queensbury Central also a Member of West Glens Falls Emergency Squad-Your comments as for as full funding is concerned I just wanted to it precipitates my comments and with Sheila Magee Nason here I do want to address my comments to you and the newspaper. We hove just finished our fund raising drive for this current year and it has been the first one that we have had in the last several years and the reason for it is because of the mis-ideas that people have in general about what full funding is. I would implore the Supervisor, the Board of Supervisors that when they do talk about full funding to explain that full funding does not mean every single penny as you did. I would ask the newspapers because they have twice in the past talked about full funding 'without any full expiration and in receiving funds this year I had many calls from people who said I am not going to give anything because we have seen in the newspaper that full.funding is available x from here on out. We will still have funding raising drives'becouse we hove needs for the volunteers that do work in a// of our departments. i would implore everyone concerned to recognize and realize that full funding 1 is for the essential firematic equipment that we need to have but it does not take care of everything. Thank you. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you, i think that is a further clarification and a very important point. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Also, the funds that they receive by the Town they are restricted in the use that they can put them to. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-None of the Town money can be used for personnel purposes. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Or for fancy do-dads on the truck it is for the vary essential pieces of the fire equipment, it is not uniforms, not the jackets. I SUPERVISOR BORGOS-It is all the fire fighting gear that is required by OSHA is obviously included. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-But not their dress type of thing or anything like that. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Call to order the Public Hearing on the Rescue Squad Contracts asked for public input... 4:45 P.M. some people in the audience I know are just waiting to have this approved so they can pay the bill that is due yesterday. 1 can see Connie sitting there, she has been after me since March or April. ..are they paid? Good. I made a general statement at the beginning for all the emergency services but 1 would like to add a little bit of what Mr. Mantes! said we had a rough accident the other day and complements again to everybody, all the services that were out there the squads in particular and the mutual aid from Moreau was exceptional, we are very please with that. No one wishes to speak... PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-Do we have all the consents of record for the Rescue Squads some indication from them that they already consented to these contracts? SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 have not heard but 1 think anyone here to say...West Glens Falls are you willing to agree to the contract as provided? We have asked something written before we sign them...you should have received a letter from our Attorney in the mail indicating what we needed? UNKNOWN-We just got three copies of the contract... j SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The dollars have not changed....in the rescue squad contracts a major concern over the years has been that some people tend to abuse the intent of the emergency services and instead of just calling in the event of an emergency people insist that they be transported from their home to the doctor and back at their convenience three days a week or what ever it is, that has never been the intent although most squads still do provide by their own individual operating policies some of, that kind of service. The law required that we put in that initial language that says that you will do this and then in the next parogroph it says subject to your rules "d regulations and policies of your organization. So it does permit you to do that but if you find people that are abusing it and going beyond the intent then you are also free to discontinr.re that, that is why those two sets of language are there. That is why i told you that when ive negotiated all of these we would go to our A ttorney to ,be sure all the language was just right. All the Rescue Squads and Fire Companies have the snow plowing. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Gary's would be covered by Bay Ridge its fire contract... SUPERVISOR BORGOS-If this gets approved today i will be authorized to sign the contract you will need to provide those couple things that ore requested in the letter, we will give you a copy of the letter after the meeting so anytime tonight, tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, before midnight Saturday you will have to do it. Any further comments...none were heard Closed Hearing...

COUNCILMAN MONTESI-There was a Capital Account established for the landfill I guess that was for any potential growth or needs for the future we are under some kind of mandate from the State of N.Y. to close landfills but in the event that our landfill becomes the State of N.Y. Recycling Landfill can the money that is used in the closure account be retronsferred out to do something other than this... SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I understand that is correct that is what we are doing now, taking from one account to another. PAUL DUSEK-TOWN ATTORNEY-There are some ways of transferring the money out you do have to meet certain rules and regulations but in the event basically if the circumstances are such that the money was not needed for the purposes for which the account was set up there is a mechanism in place to withdraw that money. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-We are still going to have to do a closure even if it becomes a recycling area...four to eight million dollars...I thought we had a fund set aside even before the current budget.. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-We did with this one hundred thousand there are between, it is at least two hundred and fifty thousand will be there maybe as much as four hundred thousand. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-So that part was correctly put into the proper account... SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Right, but this 100 for some reason did not go....in planning for this year our budget for 88 knew that we were going to increase the fees but we were deloyed because of the mechanisms that did not function properly. We also planned to put in $150,000. dollars into the closure account we have a resolution in a few minutes to transfer one half ..I of the fees that came in which was the intent and that would be more than the $150,000 so we are going to be ahead of where we would hope to be.

Duly adopted this 29th day of December, 1988 b y .the following vote: Ayes: Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Borgos Noes: None Absent: Mr. Kurosoka COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 would say that I am Chairman of the Landfill Committee this is the first that I have seen this, I do not see any recommendation from Jim Coughlin, Landfill Supt. and we have said so many times we have great people working for this town as Department Heads, I do like to get their recommendations. This happened to us one time in the past and it was decided that it was more cost effective to put the newspapers into the landfill then it was to go with an agreement like this. I have questions about this because i want to know how fast It takes to fill a trailer, are we going to pay for these trailers every month regardless of whether they ore full or not? We have to look at cost effectiveness we are talking a minimum of$2400. per year. SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1t has been about a week and a half'since Jim Coughlin came in and told me, that Mr. Barber indicated that there is no longer a market there and effective January Ist. there would have to be a.price of $20.00 per ton charged to the Town. I indicated to Jim that was an amount uncertain and unknown to us and I was concerned also we may not want to do that. Mr. Barber apparently proposed a two year agreement, I feel uncomfortob6 le going more than one year because we do expect a recycling program before that and I do not know who is going to handle that. it was Mr. Coughlin suggestion that we go into this otherwise we would have to bury the paper and the volume used in the landfill he felt was more of a valuable use for other things other than newspapers. Even if we hauled it away and put it somewhere else other than the landfill. It was his opinion on average we fill one truck per month at each of these sites, I question that because I am not sure that we do. The price here instead of being 7 cubic yards approximately, it would have $140.00 per month per site but by going $20.00 per ton we would get it for $100.00. I have no problem with holding off on this until next Tuesday... COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-If Jim has indicated to you that this is .... SUPERVISOR BORGOS- Thut is his strong recommendation... COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Before he felt opposite, this happened we have a clear under�ctonding whether or not these trailers ar ging to berg weeare going to have a charge of...whether they are full or not?
