after the 2012 contract is ratified,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby authorizes the Town Supervisor to
approve payment vouchers for 1/12h of the 2012 Contract Amount(s) during April to the West Glens

payments on the new general emergency ambulance services 2012 Agreement if such Agreement is
entered into, with the further understanding that the Town shall also approve payment vouchers for
1/12d`of the Squads' paid daytime service costs, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor and
