Olson as Deputy Supervisor. . .on file OPEN FORUM Mr. Joseph Daire-Thanked several town employees for the good job that they have done. . . Mr. Charles Adamson-This is a historic occasion, it looks to me that we are going to have a more open, sensitive government in the Town. . . DISCUSSION: Councilman Montesi-requested that open forum be set at the' beginning of the meeting. . .it was frustrating as a citizen to sit out there until ten or eleven if you did have something�to say, that might help us project the image that we would like to have, more input from people. . .Councilman Borgos-I think that is a good suggestion, my only concern is that people might come and stay. only for open forum and leave during the other agenda items. . .if we have open forum first, the agenda be checked prior to the meeting so that everthing that is scheduled is covered that night is on the agenda so that people who do leave early can't say later that we did not know it was going to be discussed; we would have stayed had we known. . .Supervisor Walter-I have no problem with having the open forum at the beginning, however I will not have two open forums in an evening. . .if we establish it at the beginning people that do come late will miss their opportunity, I think that was really the reason why many years ago it was established well into the meetings so that people that did not get here, that they would not have missed it. . .Councilman Kurosaka-Mr. Montesi and I attended a Town Governmental seminar, . . .noted open forum would be held after the public hearings. . .Councilman Monahan-I have been here when open forum has gone on for one to two hours, we have to be aware of the time limit, it will have to be restricted at the beginning of a meeting when we have a large agenda. . .Supervisor Walter-It seems to be the consensus to schedule the open forum after any public hearings. . .there will only be one open forum during a meeting. . . Unknown-Asked when the agendas are ready? Supervisor Walter-The agendas are available on the Monday before the meeting around noon time. . .there are times when resolutions need to be handled and are not on the agenda, if you do not want to handle them we will have to set a special meeting. . .to accept an item onto the agenda will be 100% agreement of the Board Members other wise it will be laid over. Councilman Borgos-Inquired about the Town's Liability Insurance. . . Councilman Monahan-Noted that she had spoken to the insurance consultant and will be speaking to the Board Members about the Insurance. . . Mr. Ralph VanDusen-Requested that the Board consider a restriction of 10 no smoking in the meeting room. . .one of the reasons I do not attend more meetings is that I cannot stand to go home smelling like smoke. . .consider a smoke eater for the room or a ban on smoking. RESOLUTION TO BAN SMOKING IN MEETING ROOM RESOLUTION NO. 24, Introduced by Mrs. Betty Monahan who moved for its adoption, seconded by Mr. Stephen Borgos: RESOLVED, that when the meeting room is used for public meetings, no smoking will be permitted and the room will be designated as such, and all ash trays will be removed. Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Mr. Kurosaka, Mr. Borgos, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mrs. Walter Noes: None Absent:None Councilman Monahan-We were requested by the legislative committee of the Mohican Grange to establish this room as non-smoking room for public meetings. . . Mr. Albert Zang-New Resident of the Town of Queensbury-Congratulated the Board on their new terms. . .Mr. Borgos, earlier you approved some raises and you are talking about raises for other people, I have nothing against giving raises, but as Supervisor Walter has stated, appropriations have already been budgeted, could this cause a conflict? Supervisor Walter-it would not be a conflict, but we would be over budget. The raises would not be a problem for the Town but would show that the departments would be in the red in the personnel services accounts. Councilman Borgos-The salaries we are talking about were not part of any public presentation of the budget so we had no knowledge of what the individual salaries were. The total of seven thousand dollars could 1 easily be accommodated in the budgets for any of these departments by line item changes. Taxpayers should not worry at all about the extra --` increases. Mr. Joseph Daire-Questioned the contact between the Town and County Board? Supervisor Walter-I am the liaison between the Town and County Board. . . Mr. Charles Adamson-Noted that the County Board has its own open forum for the public. . .I do not think that is widely known. . . Supervisor Walter-We are starting a new adventure in Queensbury, we are working under the ward system for the very first time. The Councilmen are designated by Wards and they are elected by the people that live in their wards. That is different from the representatives that we have had over the history of the Town of Queensbury who have been elected at large. I would hope that we have so many projects and so many issues in Queensbury that our new councilpeople will represent their constituency but also keeping in mind we are all working on behalf of the interests of all the people of the Town. In 1985 we had a very good year, we have extended services in the Town of Queensbury, I would trust that our new councilpeople would be of mind to continue establish services in 1986. We will see the completion of a new water storage tank of two million gallons, we will be looking to extend some new water districts, these things have been requested by some of your constituents. We are looking to accomplish our sewer system along the Quaker Road to possibly go out to bid this year and to get that under construction. The previous Town Board put -into their budget (1986) dollars to retain a consulting engineer to begin some preliminary work on the sewage problems in the northern part of Queensbury, that area the borders along Lake George. You will be deep into that project and that is one we have been looking forward to and waiting for the legislature in Albany to change the Lake George Law to make it possible for the Town to help the people up there Y out of the problems that get worse and worse as things develop up there. We have been working very hard in 1985 on expanding industrial development in Queensbury, I really wish to recognize that progress by establishing a new committee, that is Industrial Development. I think that we need to continue to work to bring more industry to Queensbury and again I would hope that the new Town Board Members be willing to spend a lot of time and energy in that area. We have a computer on board in 1985, be have put our financial records, we will begin payroll on the computer this year, we will be doing our own utility billing for water and sewage on our computer and I think that is progress. We have not dealt with any computer before and it took a great deal of time to find out exactly what we needed in this town and what would work for us. I think that i the new board members will have to be looking at that system to see how in their committee situation, their departments can use the computer so we can get the information to the public and move forward into an area we can communicate better. . .That is just highlighting some of the areas that will be time consuming to the new board members. I would ask you in your committee assignments, many of you asked for the same committees it was difficult, I tried to assign you to the kinds of committees that had shown an interest in. In areas where you had not gotten that assignment it was because you could be better in another area and we tried to evenly split them up. In doing you assignments make contact with the personnel involved and I think we can accomplish a great deal for the Town of Queensbury with everybody doing a portion of the work. You will shortly find out that it is a lot more than meeting on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, there are times that you will be at the Town Office Building and there are times you will get telephone calls at home and there will be problems and there will be interviews. You will meet with consultants of all sorts and you will be very quickly deep in the business of the Town. I hope that you all enjoy it, I know that I look forward to working with you and again I think that 1986 will be a very good year for the Town of Queensbury and I hope for all of us.
