SUPERVISOR STEC-Opened meeting.
1.0 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
TAMMY SULLIVAN-18 HOMER AVENUE-Spoke to the board regarding the flooding
on her property asked if there was any progress on the situation.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Councilman Montesi visited some folks at DEC and alerted them
to the situation. There is a code violation for DEC as far as how they are treating that
and treating the brook they left it with him that they were going to investigate.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-With the photographs, they were very helpful, they said
there is definitely a violation they would be writing a violation to him. It is another step
along with that I sent our Code Enforcement over he is now in violation of not removing
the storage sheds.
MS. SULLIVAN-Questioned if there is anything else she can do to move this along?
SUPERVISOR STEC-Questioned if there was any chance of getting DEC to move a little
quicker?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The violation from DEC is because of the good pictures you
took where he drops the stone into the erosion of his parking lot that is where the
violation is because he is putting foreign objects into a trout stream. I will call DEC
tomorrow morning, will ask where they are on this I will give you a call.
PLINEY TUCKER, 41 DIVISION ROAD-Asked for a breakdown of the six point eight
five million that the Town is responsible for where it is going regarding Main Street.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Ten percent of that number is contingency about two million
dollars is the National Grid portion of undergrounding utilities about a half a million is
Verizon, about seventy thousand is Time Warner, three hundred and fifty is our Gateway
Enhancements Project Kiosk then we have a local share for water and wastewater that’s
the rest those are special districts
MR. TUCKER-Questioned if the sewer is included in the 68.5 million.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Thinks it is.
MR. TUCKER-Asked if National Grid and Verizon are still in a lawsuit?
SUPERVISOR STEC-I expect that it hopefully will be wrapped up here in the next
month or so as far as how we are going to resolve this with them.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 12-07-2009 MTG#45 377
MR. TUCKER-Spoke to the board regarding the five dollar fee for registering cars and
ten dollar fee for commercial vehicles, asked if it was at the County level or the State
level.
SUPERVISOR STEC-That will come to the County it doesn’t matter where you register
the vehicle if you register it with another county or by mail or online if it is commercial it
comes directly back to Warren County most of the counties in the State are already
charging it.
MR. TUCKER-Asked where the money is going to go.
SUPERVISOR STEC-To the general fund at the County.
MR. TUCKER-Asked what the debt is at the County.
SUPERVISOR STEC-The gap is three point three million dollars.
MR. TUCKER-Questioned if it has to be picked up by taxes?
SUPERVISOR STEC-It depends on what they want to do. It is a nine point three percent
increase in the tax levy county wide for the year from 2009 or if they follow through with
the sales tax increase they might chose to assume that revenue next year and include that
in next years budget, in which case they might very well eliminate the total tax levy. The
County tax levy in 2009 was thirty six million right now it is thirty nine point three
million is the projected. That three point three, three point four million dollars that I am
talking about they are considering assuming that they increase the sales tax, in which case
they will lower that to zero.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The other part of that is if they go with the way they are
going right now and we get to the first of year then they have accepted a budget that is
anticipating three and a half million dollars worth of sales tax revenue.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-Thursday night at seven o’clock in the Supreme Court
Room they will be holding a public hearing on the budget.
MR. TUCKER-Questioned why they are talking about the sales tax being a bad deal.
SUPERVISOR STEC-The argument for a sales tax is that a big chunk of it is coming
from people that don’t live here. The other argument in favor of it is that you have some
control over your discretionary spending how much of that sales tax you pay. The
argument against is one way or the other you are taking money out of the economy
people only have so much money to spend if they have a hundred bucks to spend and
they are spending more of it on sales tax that means they are spending less of it on the
stuff that they are buying is that the right thing to do in the middle of a bad recession?
COUNCILMAN BREWER-One way or the other you are going to end up paying it
whether you pay it in the tax or if there is a shortfall in the budget.
SUPERVISOR STEC-There are arguments both ways.
PAUL NAYLOR-15 DIVISION ROAD-Thanked Supervisor Stec for voting against the
sales tax. We are all going to pay it is not the out of Towner’s that are going to pay we
are going to pay every time we pull up to the gas tanks, every time we have fuel oil
delivered so on and so on. It is going to hit our wallet not the tourists because they are not
going to come.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Right now we are lower than everyone else if they raise it they will
be the same as most everybody else.
GEORGE WINTERS 4 JOHN CLENDON ROAD-Questioned if the Town gave the
Great Escape money?
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 12-07-2009 MTG#45 378
SUPERVISOR STEC-It is on the agenda tonight.
MR. WINTERS-Is strictly against this doesn’t believe they should be giving industry like
this money.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Explained that a lot of people don’t know the occupancy tax
money that is generated by all the hotels in the county has to be used strictly towards
promotion events like these they don’t necessarily have to be non profits. This is a pile of
money that cannot be used for plowing the roads or anything else it has to go back into
tourism. Great Escape is projecting that their hotel is going to pay into the County a half
of a million dollars in occupancy tax this year what they are asking the Town for is
twenty five thousand of it back not saying that you cannot be opposed to this, but this the
rest of the issue.
MR. WINTERS-Spoke regarding Queensbury Central Fire Company doesn’t believe they
should be building anymore Fire Companies.
SUPERVISOR STEC-The board was concerned about where this was heading I sent an
email to Queensbury Central saying in this climate timing is not good to be looking at an
expansion. They do have some roof work and some boiler work on the existing building
that could be done. As far as adding to the building I expressed on behalf of the board
that we weren’t sure it was a good idea they indicated they would go back and talk it over
amongst themselves.

Received a phone call two weeks ago from a gentleman whose family owns property
on Ridge Road, which is past the intersection on East Sunnyside and Ridge that they
would like donate this property to the Town. After further review we discovered
that the property is attached to Jenkinsville Park. Spoke with Steve Lovering who
ran it by the Recreation Committee they are very interested in this piece of property.
Does not know if there is a lot we could do with it there is a stream that runs through
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 12-07-2009 MTG#45 402
the property it is a nice piece of property it is about three and a half acres. They
have recommended to the Town Board that we accept the donation it would cost the
Town nothing except the removal of the land from the tax roll which equates to
about three hundred dollars a year.
?
Received an email from Leesa Stiller. There is a Christmas tree that is in the
Queensbury Activity Center it has approximately fifteen requests from seniors that
are seeking gifts for this holiday season. These people are local, elderly, and they do
not have families to help them celebrate the holiday season. They have put
ornaments on the tree and each ornament has a request for something they would
like for Christmas or need. Thought it would be nice if people have some extra time
and the Senior Center is open, which it is every day maybe you could stop by and
look at these ornaments and perhaps adopt a senior this year for Christmas. I think it
would be a nice idea. I know that this Town Board is going to adopt at least one
senior I would hope. Maybe all the ornaments will be taken up by tomorrow, but
maybe we could also make it extra special for these folks.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI
?
Received a phone call from a resident that lives on Sweet Road who is very
concerned about the deplorable conditions that exist at the Trailer Park where
there was a homicide a week or so ago. He made reference to a couple of very
specific things. I asked him to either come to the meeting for privilege of the
floor or to send a letter. He sent me a letter spoke to Building and Code
Enforcement, Dave Hatin interestingly enough Dave has had the Trailer Park
owner in court three or four times. He is the owner an absentee owner there are
some serious conditions there and Dave is on it. Dave takes them to court we get
something fixed and then something else falls by the wayside I will check with
Dave Hatin tomorrow once he reads this letter.

Hopes that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving looking forward to Christmas
COUNCILMAN STROUGH

Met with some local Queensbury businessman and woman recently had a great
conversation about developing proactive strategies that we in the Town could do
to promote business in Queensbury we are going to promise to sit down and
continue this believes they are going to talk to other members of the board as
well. I think you will find what they are offering and I think they are looking for
your ideas as well.
?
Receives numerous phone calls about neighborhood nuisance things whether it
cats, animals, noise. Has received several communications from someone on
Sunnyside Road that their neighbor with the loud music in the morning and loud
music at night it is constant and persistent we don’t have much that addresses this.
We have spoken about a noise ordinance there are so many problems with noise
ordinances. Nuisance Ordinance or something like that I think I will speak with
our Attorney that works with this kind of stuff have her look into something we
can use along the lines of neighborhood nuisance. Thinks it is something when
we get together and review our ordinances and such probably at the beginning of
the year I will bring it up again.
