Re: South Queensbury Volunteer Fire Company Incorporated
Dear John:
The Fire Company has received a commitment from Glens Falls National Bank and Trust
Company for a $2,500,000.00 loan to provide funds for renovations to the Fire House. A copy of
the accepted Bank's commitment letter of September 28, 2020 is enclosed along with a copy of
the Resolution of the Fire Company approving the loan.
As you are aware from prior projects, the Fire Company can benefit from a tax exempt
interest rate if the provisions of Section 150(e) and Section 147 of the Internal Revenue Code are
met. Basically, this requires the Town to conduct a public hearing and based on the public
hearing pass a resolution which approves the Fire Company's borrowing pursuant to the Bank
commitment letter.
On behalf of the Fire Company I ask that you place this matter on the Town Board
Agenda to set up such a public hearing and to hopefully approve a financing package so the Fire
Company can benefit from a tax exempt interest rate.
I would appreciate it if your assistant could let me know the date that the public hearing
will be conducted so we can have a representative of the Fire Company attend to answer any
questions you may have.
October 16, 2020
