WHEREAS, general emergency ambulance services are provided to the Town of Queensbury
by the Bay Ridge Rescue Squad, Inc., North Queensbury Rescue Squad, Inc., and West Glens Falls
Emergency Squad, Inc., in accordance with Agreements between each Rescue/Emergency Squad and
the Town, and
WHEREAS, the Town's Agreement with the North Queensbury Rescue Squad, Inc. (Squad)
expired on December 31, 2011, and
WHEREAS, in such Agreement the Town and Squad agreed that the terms and provisions of
the existing agreements may continue during the interim period pending execution of a new
Agreement, and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 54,2012, the Town Board authorized payment vouchers
constituting 1/12th of the 2011 Contract Amount for January and February to the Squad under the
current Agreement; by Resolution No.: 92,2012, the Town Board again authorized payment vouchers
constituting 1/12th of the 2011 Contract Amount for March and April; and by Resolution No.:
141,2012, the Town Board again authorized payment vouchers constituting 1/12th of the 2011
Contract Amount for May and June, all of which payments constituted advance payments on the new
general emergency ambulance services 2012 Agreement, and
WHEREAS, the Squad and Town Board continue to negotiate a new Agreement, and
WHEREAS, the Squad may face cash flow shortages before the new Agreement can be
executed and therefore the Town Board wishes to again authorize advance payments under the current
Agreement, which after a new Agreement is entered into, will constitute advance payments on the
2012 agreement to the Squad, such advances to be deducted from contract payments to be paid 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 1/12th of the 2012 Contract Amount(s) during July to the North
Queensbury Rescue Squad (Squad) under the current Agreement, which payments will constitute
advance 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 1/12th of the Squads' paid daytime service costs, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that should a new emergency ambulance services 2012 Agreement not be
entered into by July 31St, 2012, then the Town Board authorizes the Town Supervisor to approve
additional payment vouchers constituting 1/12th of the 2011 Contract Amount to the Squad during
August, 2012, again with the understanding that the Town shall also approve payment vouchers
for 1/12th of the Squads' paid daytime service costs, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor and
Town Budget Officer to make the necessary arrangements to make such payments which are
authorized under the current Agreement and take such other and further action as may be necessary to
effectuate the terms of this Resolution.
