OPEN FORUM - 7:36
Mr. Ed Murray, owner of business on Quaker Road-When will we be able to hook up to the Sewer?
Supervisor Borgos-Stated that as soon as the snow is gone and as soon as we certify the contractors,
who will have to go to attend a 4-8 hour school to find out exactly how the standards will go,
very early April
Councilman Montesi-Stated that their were two or three steps that took place, number one
passing the resolution to have public hearing tonight, emphasizing the regulations and what
it exactly takes to hook up to our sewer lines, also passing an ordinance that conforms with
the City ordinance so all our sewers that we are developing within the town will go into the
Glens Falls Sewer Plant, to be in line with their demands and requirements. Lastly the Pump
Station on Meadowbrook Road as of two weeks ago was in place, last week it was wired and
hopefully this week they will start testing. Stated that as soon as the Pump Station is ready
Mid-March, the people who have the pipes already laid down in the ground will be receiving
notification from the Town that they have the ability to tie in.
Charlie Adamson, Assembly Point-Questioned whether or not the Town was aware of the effect
that the possible discontinuation of the Wicks Law will have on the Economical Construction,
will it influence the cost of the Sewer Construction in North Queensbury?
Supervisor Borgos-Stated that the Town was aware of the Wicks Law and referred to the Town
Counsel.
Town Counsel-Stated that there will be relatively little impact basically because there is a
15S
one contractor to dig the hole and lay the pipe.

and the benefits derived there from....Stated that the Town of Queensbury celebrated it two
hundredth and one day anniversary and noted that at that time the Town of Queensbury was
a township within the County of Washington.
Charlie Adamson-Wanted to thank the town on having the hearing on the potential sewer in
North Queensbury. Noted on an indirect issue that was brought up at the meeting, the ability
to stop the use of fertilizer on lawns in the Lake George Basin that it would do as much good
to protect the lake as much as sewering. Agreed that this issue was a sound one, that this
issue should be considered an important one.
Supervisor Borgos-Noted that the annual financial report for the Town of Queensbury has been ---
filed with the office of State Comptroller, a copy is also filed with the Town Clerk's office
if anyone wishes to go and inspect the document. Noted also that notice has been published
in the local paper...Introduced Mr. Culver representing the Hanneford Brothers Corp.
Mr. Culver-Representative of Shop N' Save requested permission to interface their light on
Quaker Road with the Towns light on Quaker and Bay. Shop N' Save will also have sensors
in their payment to enhance proper traffic flow.
