DOUGHER TOWN HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT MICHAEL TRAVIS 2.0 SUPERVISOR'S WELCOME Supervisor Stec-Welcome everyone and a Happy New Year. I see we have a light turnout this morning which is completely understandable and not surprising as the entire Town Board and the Clerk and the Highway Superintendent were all unopposed in last year's election, in years past we have always done this ceremony on January 1St, itself. The law does give us certain window in the early part of the year to accomplish an organizational meeting. So, we figured this year the way that the holiday fell that we would do it on January 2 nd. The resolutions today, about fifty seven of them the first twenty or so we will do something that we do not normally do although we have done the last few organizational meetings which is we will handle them similar to what they do at Warren County in mass, Darleen will read all twenty of them and will have one motion, one second and a collective vote on the group. The remaining thirty seven resolutions will all roll call votes which is our norm, because they either involve contracts or money. There are certain things State Law requires the roll call votes and certain things that do not have to be roll call votes. This is old hat for the County and of course Ron used to serve on the County Board so he knows exactly what I am talking about, and again the Town Board has done this the last couple of organizational meeting, so hopefully we will be able to more through them fairly quickly. I will save the bulk of my remarks for the end of the meeting. Councilman Brewer has a household, homeowner emergency his hot water heater went this morning so he going to leave shortly after we get into the resolutions to go and take care of that home crisis that he has. I do welcome everyone and like I said I will save the bulk of my remarks for after the resolutions. ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-02-2012 MTG#1 2 3.0 CORRESPONDENCE To: Town Board From: Daniel G.

It has been a good few years for me I have learned a lot and this is a good board. I think we really do work well together I appreciate everybody so thank you. WARD II COUNCILMAN RONALD MONTESI • Happy New Year WARD III COUNCILMAN JOHN STROUGH • I would like to thank the Town Employees, as a whole they do a great job, Darleen and Bob and Barb and Mike and Leesa and Joanne and Marilyn VanDyke they are all present and Keith I just think they do a great job and so I want to send my thank you to all the Town Employees especially the ones here today. SUPERVISOR STEC-Dr. VanDyke asked for the floor ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-02-2012 MTG#1 62 TOWN HISTORIAN DR. MARILYN VANDYKE- • This marks by 20th year as Historian and it is really my privilege to be able to announce that 2012 is a very special year for our Town because it was on May 20th in 1762 that the Queensbury Patent was acquired by Abraham Wing who was subsequently brought a group of people into our community and began the first settlement. So, we are looking forward to this anniversary with a real special interest and we don't often get to do a ceremony in relation to land mark period of time in history. This particular celebration is called a sestercentennial according to research we did on Wikipedia. That actually means halfway between two hundred and three hundred years and that is where we are. I like the idea that we are going to be able to look forward to three hundred eventually. I will not be here but I think that is wonderful that we will be continuing as a town. I have an advisory committee and another committee and we are working on planning for the events and we hope to have two events. Sunday, May 20th which is the anniversary of the patent transfer we will be having a ceremony at the Old Quaker Burying Ground at 2:00 PM and we unveil the patents and we will talk about the early settlers and mark a wreath on their grave and so on. We will also have school students there and music and we will have scouts, especially this year because this marks the 100th anniversary of the Girls Scouts of America that will be a part of what we are doing. On Saturday, August 25th from noon to three we hope to have an open house here at the Town Hall, people can come and see our operations have a special ceremony in honor of the event. There will also be banners that will be placed around the Town noting the 250th anniversary at entrances to the Town. We are also developing a promotional flyer that will describe the history of our Town over the past 250 years. So, watch for us on our website and also the Warren County website. SUPERVISOR STEC-Thank you Doctor. Doctor VanDyke has been working with the Board on some funding for events that she just spoke about and will be setting aside some funding to take care of that as Queensbury Celebrates a significant milestone in our history. I know that John is probably the biggest history buff of all of us on the Board and John like many other things is involved in this too and we appreciate John working with Dr. VanDyke and the other members of her advisory committee. I am honored to be a part of and be the sitting Supervisor when we hit that milestone so thank you. Like I said at the beginning of the meeting and I tried to say as often as I can I do this not so much when there is TV8 here because I am amazed at how many people watch our town board meetings on television. It is almost a cult thing. I think that is good. I listen to Judge Krogmann speak at Dennis Dickinson and his Town Board new Town Board Members swearing in ceremony yesterday at the old County Court House on Canada Street in Lake George Village, and his remarks I thought were wonderful and you think about what is going on in the World and our system in government in the United States isn't perfect but it is the best that there is out there. His remarks were along those lines and I agree with him. We are blessed, part of that the deal, the contract that we have with our citizens in the United States is accountability and open government and transparency and public participation. There are rules and there are exceptions and there are asterisk with all these things which is why there is a foil law which is why we just don't say well come on in and paw through whatever you want. There is a gate keeper that controls that and that is Darleen Dougher and she does an absolutely fantastic job although I think she makes it pretty easy on people. Not to say that everybody that frequents the FOIL law makes it easy on Darleen and we will not name any names here but we could all make a reasonable guess who I am referring to. But, that is fine, you are going to have certain percentage of people that are going to care more than others you are going to have a certain percentage of people that don't care at all and you are going to have a certain percentage of people that are going to be very abusive and you are going certain percentage of people that just you know go with the flow and whatever we do is fine with them as long as we keep it between the twenty yard lines as I like to use a football reference. Certainly I think we have done a lot of that but, Darleen has done a fantastic job I think making our Town government as accessible to the public as possible. The media has a role to play, certainly our newspaper, our official newspaper the Post Star and to a lesser extent some of the other newspapers in the area they are another form of communication with the public, but I for one like two other things that are relatively new and not every community avails themselves to as much as we do which is our website. Ryan Lashway's plan was to go live on January 1St with ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-02-2012 MTG#1 63 the new website I have not checked the internet yet to see that he has. He has been massaging that and trying to make that all that it can be. But there is a ton of information available on our website. The other thing is Look TV or TV8 because again you are limited in the print media to a couple things one space, most importantly space, and then two, you know just personal reporter bias. What Morey thinks is important or what catches his eye you know may not always be the whole story or may not be what we might think the most important thing is. So, there is a certain amount that gets lost in transmission when you rely on the newspaper. Whereas, the television and the internet, the internet is our opportunity to put out what we think is important make it as available as possible and make it convenient. But, the television and the internet is something that is passive that people can choose to read if they want to. If they want to be involved and they want more than they can get from the newspaper but they can't you know I got to drop everything and rush up to town hall for a seven o'clock board meeting because I got something else to do on a Monday night at seven o'clock that its very much it is a lot more convenient. There is a ton of information on those two venues that you can gain. I do try to take advantage of when the cameras are here and not for self promotional sake although there is always a value in being able to put your message out on television. But, that is our opportunity for us to push the things that we think are important here. I try to push the veteran's exemptions with the property taxes and the veterans ID cards. John is very good and viligent on at pushing the seniors and all the work that they do for the community. Yes, those things get mailed out to people but again, there are a lot of times that people just aren't aware, and this is our opportunity to call attention to things that are going on in the community, the Town Board Members have all done a good job with that. But, there is not a lot of people here today, why is that? Maybe it is because they are tired of hearing me talk and they got other things to do on a holiday morning which is fine. But, I think that what we are seeing here is a that there is a confidence in government in Queensbury that is not to say that if the Post Star decides that they want to put it on their website...it is not to say that if the Post Star decides to make a project out of it and they could not whip some anonymous comments on their website with criticisms of the Town of Queensbury everybody has their critics and that is fine. We are fine with that here and we have broad shoulder and thick skin at the Town of Queensbury but there are twenty seven thousand people here and while I may have three or four that like to come and do all they can in their power to stir the pot and spend your tax dollars in doing so and there are a couple of them that has done a very good job at wasting taxpayer money with silliness over the years. That there are twenty seven thousand other people in the community that realize that they have got five town board members and a town clerk and a town highway superintendent that are busting their tail every day to make Queensbury a good place to work and a good place to live a good place to raise a family which is why people, is why we have development pressure because people realize that the word is out that we have got something good here in Queensbury that we have something for everybody. If you want to get lost in the woods you can get lost in the Queensbury. You cannot get lost in the woods a lot of other municipalities with twenty seven thousand people but you can get lost in the woods here. You can do shopping you can ski, you can go to an amusement park, you can go to the lake you can go to college here you can get a four year degree in Queensbury. We are not running down to Albany, we are not running down to Washington DC holding hands out begging for money to fix our infrastructure we fix our own infrastructure. We take care of our own business here. We are self reliant, we are self sufficient. I think speaks to what a great town that we have, the Town is great because we have great employees. Leadership starts at the top and we have some good elected officials I think your Councilman have done a great job for you over the years which is why they are getting re-elected which is why the Town Board is un-opposed. Darleen and Mike have not been opposed because well, it is either one of two things, no one wants to deal with some of your regular customers and no one wants to deal with your phone ringing off the hook because again you cannot be all places all the time. In the Highway Department guess what you are going to have emergencies and you are going to have roads that are not getting fixed fast enough for people. But, the vast majority of people in the World and but I will limit it to Queensbury, they are understanding they get it, they understand you know what if I want better service it will cost more money. They understand that our job is to find that sweet spot where the service is good but we are not breaking the bank. We have got one of the most cost effective Highway Departments in the State we have one of the most cost effective water departments in the State those are by far the two largest departments here in Queensbury. We have got one of the lowest tax rates in the State and our infrastructure is in good shape. Our Water and Sewer Lines are practically brand new as far as their ages our Highways are in great shape so it is not that we are not spending money and the infrastructure is falling apart. We are taking care of business but we are doing it in a smart way. So, I think that Queensbury had a good long run and we set ourselves up to continue that ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-02-2012 MTG#1 64 long run of being a wonderful place to live and do work. The national economy and the national climate makes it a little more difficult these days than it has been historically. But, I think you have got the leadership in place here that is responsive to the needs of the public. We are not going to please everybody all the time and not everyone is going to always understand why we make the decision that we do, other than I can say I can personally assure you that the five of us on the Board and your Highway Superintendent and your Town Clerk have the best interests of the Town of Queensbury at heart. We are trying to be as frugal with your tax dollars as possible I can assure you that every department head that works for the Town of Queensbury will tell you that we are pretty tight with their budgets. To the point that they understand the mission that we are trying to accomplish, but it is frustrating to them because there is more that they could do and they could spend more money effectively. It is not like we are saying no because spending that extra dollar would be wasteful. I am sure if we allowed more investment in some of our departments they would make good investments. But, we are trying to find that balance of service and cost and I think that most people would agree that we struck a good balance here in Queensbury and we need to just stay on top of it and continue. But, on a personal note just reflecting on 2011 for myself, professionally I had a challenging and rewarding year, not only as a Supervisor of Queensbury but as the Chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors. I could not have balanced both of those jobs and I went to Dennis Dickinson's swearing in yesterday and he recognized me. He invited me late last week to his swearing in and contrary to what he thought I did not have a lot of other invitations on January 1 st. to attend and the Lake George. They saw a fair amount of controversy and public frustration in the last couple of years that was a very important election and I wanted to be supportive of him and welcome him to the County Board. I attended yesterday and he recognized me and he said geez when I called Dan I said that guy is so busy he never have time to come here but here he is. I appreciated that he recognized how busy being the Queensbury Town Supervisor and the Chairman of the Warren County Board can and has been. But, that would not have been achievable if it weren't for a few people that I would like to recognize. First and foremost on a personal home front, my wife and my son and my mom and dad have been very supportive, tolerant of my schedule and the demands of me being three places at three different times and getting yelled at, I could literally drive from one building and get yelled at about something there and drive to the other building and get yelled at about something completely different there. I enjoy it, like I said the vast majority of the public appreciates the work that we are trying to do. I could not have balanced those two jobs without the support on the home front and more importantly I think as far as getting the work done. The staff that I have here at the Town of Queensbury and the people that are in this room my assistant Leesa Stiller is my right hand and when I am not in the building she more or less runs the place. I think everyone in the building kind of understands that so and if there is one person in the building that may know more people in Queensbury than I do it happens to be Leesa Stiller. I am amazed from day one I was always amazed of how many people she knew in the Town of Queensbury and now over the years she has built up the corporate memory where she knows the answers to most of the questions that get asked. So,just talk about somebody that is able to take a load off from me and help me focus on wherever I need to focus. Likewise, Barbara and Joanne in the accounting department and the rest of the accounting department they are handling all of the meat and potatoes of it and then between those three ladies the fourth musketeer if you will, in the building is not here right now is Pam Hunsinger our legal assistant and through Pam, Miller, Mannix Schachner and Hafner and most particularly Bob Hafner. Between them and knowing that Mike has the roads covered and Bruce Ostrander and Mike Shaw have water and sewer covered that Steve Lovering has got rec. covered and Keith Scheerer has got garbage collection covered and Mike Genier has got the Cemetery covered and Darleen has got the town hall covered. Darleen has dealt with over the years some of the years that I been here and some before you want to talk about hot customers coming in and it is about that time of year where she will get some next week, but she handles them all professionally. The customer is always right, the customer is almost always right, we have had some customers come in that have been flat out wrong before and Darleen has had to deal with them. Darleen is always in the building I am not always in the building so, you know if it hits the fan Darleen is usually there to put the kibosh to it and no one messes with Darleen and I think even the nuttiest nuts that might be out there know that. But, the staff in Town Hall made it possible for me to serve as the Chairman of the Board at Warren County this year. We have had a challenging year at the County but compared to other counties in the State this year we have done pretty darn good. We will talk more about that on Thursday. But the Town I think is firing on all cylinders right now, we have got some more work to do, we always have more work to do but I think the public should rest easy knowing that and I will exclude myself because I do not want to be accused of patting myself on the back, but the four Town Board Members, ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-02-2012 MTG#1 65 Darleen and Mike and your staff really takes this job very seriously they work very hard and they certainly have my gratitude and my respect and they certainly ought to have every other resident of Queensbury's respect and admiration and thanks as well. With that said I want to again wish everyone again a very Happy New Year and look forward to an exciting 2012, not too exciting just exciting enough.
