Montesi as Queensbury Town Supervisor 2.0 SUPERVISOR'S WELCOME Supervisor Ronald Montesi-One of the requests that the Post Star has made of me is to try and keep my speeches a little shorter than Dan's. In that regard I would just like to share with you some of my thoughts for this year. My selection of John Strough as Deputy Supervisor is based on my concern with the US Congress, our State Legislatures and their approach to partisan politics. We will have a bi- partisan board in Queensbury and it will start with me, doing what I think is best for the Town of Queensbury in appointing John Strough as my Deputy. There will be a resolution to that effect. There are going to be some challenges this year and some good opportunities for us to take advantage of. I would like to briefly share with you the challenges the opportunities and some of the things that we have accomplished as a Board in the last three years. We have multi-year agreements with all fire companies; we have two of the three ems squads with multi-year agreements. Our Water Department under the leadership of Bruce Ostrander is running well and has been doing in house restoration of filter beds and saving thousands of dollars for the water district. We also have a Capital Reserve Fund for future growth needs. Our Sewer Department will see Mike Shaw retire this year and Chris Harrington assume his duties. Mike will stay on for a while as a part time consultant in that capacity and we have reached an agreement with the City of Glens Falls over billing and capacity needs. To that end the Town has established a Sewer Advisory Board with the City of Glens Falls to handle sewer issues. The members of that Board will be John Strough, Ron Montesi and Chris Harrington. As I stated it is my desire to establish a warmer and friendly relationship with our neighbors in Glens Falls and work for the betterment of both communities. The Mayor and I see one another at least three times a week at the Y and in a small way we have something in common. I hope that we can build on that. Perhaps start with a cooperative effort to establish walking, hiking and biking trails in the Cities thirty four hundred acres of water shed. I have some plans that I am going to share with the Recreation Department and the Mayor. If we can make that work there should be much more that we could do together. We will have some positions to fill in our Zoning Board and our Planning Board and we will have a new planner in our Planning Department Laura Moore who used to work for us in the past. I think she is starting on the 22nd of January. Dan Stec and Barbara Tierney our Budget Officer have left the Town in very good financial condition and as sales tax continues to grow it is going to my goal with the Board to have a flat tax for the coming year. Our present Board of Tony, Tim and John have been working well together for the last three years and it is my feeling that they have the better interest of the Town at heart. I am honored and privileged to be able to serve as our Town Supervisor. Queensbury is a good place to live and great place to raise a family. Finally in speaking of family, I would like to share with you a note that my son gave me at Christmas, Ron Jr. I want to tell you how proud I am of you. In one week you are going to be sworn in as Town Supervisor for Queensbury, a place that you have called home for most of your life, pretty impressive. Your achievement is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to public service. There has been an always will be people that disagree with you in politics. Remember when I did not get my summer job teaching swimming because of politics, you took care of that situation and it all worked out well. But, people have not seen how dedicated you have been to your Town your Community your Family; you have always had the big picture of how to make your world a better place, by your individual actions and contributions. That is the lessons I have learned from watching you all these years, I am pretty lucky. Thank you. So, that was a great Christmas gift. My other son Matt Montesi is presently running and will continue to run our family business, he is doing a great job there and even though he doesn't like it I call him my walking and living annuity. I looked around before and I did not see him but Mayor Diamond is here, thank you for coming Mayor. 3.0 CORRESPONDENCE Ltrs.

Assemblyman Elect Daniel Stec-Actually historically on the lst did not go through privilege of the floor so it was something that normally we do not do ... it doesn't have to be four minutes in fact John and Pliney and I talked and we think you should increase it to ten minutes. I support that one. I want to wish the four of you a very Happy New Year I want to publically in front of your family and friends...Mayor Diamond it is good to see you also. Happy New Year to you also. It has been an absolute privilege, my life's honor the last nine years serving as Town Supervisor for my town the town we all love and we all wish the best for and on my campaign trails some of you guys heard this story. On the campaign trail I had a lot of people in fact Tony made a point of telling me he kept hearing this out there, he was trying to rattle me or something, Dan everyone is worried what is going to happen to the Town after you win. I said it on the campaign trail, one,because it is a good way to defuse their concern but two, more importantly I sincerely believe that certainly everybody is replaceable some are more difficult than others, but what we have here and what probably helped me as much as anything else did win the election to the Assembly is the fact that we have a good team, a very good strong Town Board. We have outstanding staff and I am absolutely thrilled that Darleen and both of her Deputies are here today and they were concerned whether their meetings were going to go longer now that I wasn't running them, they used to be very long but it looks like you guys are off to a really roaring start here. It is some sort of a record. But the Town has a wonderful staff we have great Department Heads we have wonderful elected officials and I am talking about the Judges and the Clerk and the Highway Superintendent and I know that the Town is in very, very good hands with the four of you and specifically with Ron. Ron I wish you the best I am very pleased that you are succeeding me. The corporate memory is in place I really do not see the Town missing a beat this year. I wish you and the Town of Queensbury and the entire staff the happiest of New Years and again it has been my honor to work with all of you these last many years while I will enjoy my time in the Assembly I am sure and the challenges that are ahead I will miss the daily operations of this great town. I just wish you all a Happy, Happy New Year. Thank you. Councilman Strough-Thank you Dan for the service to the Town you have done this for thirteen years I believe it is and good luck on your tenure year on the Assembly I am sure you will do well. Assemblyman Elect Stec-Thank you. Supervisor Montesi-Tim any comments? Councilman Brewer-I am just reflecting while Dan was talking and I see Marilyn Potenza out back here and it just brings be back to how I got to this Town Board. I was thinking, I think Ron you were on the Town Board and certainly Marilyn was and you appointed me to the Planning Board and I do not know if I can thank you for that or not. But that was quite some time ago and try to run for the Town Board once and lost and I came back and I won and Dan at the same time ran that it was thirteen years ago. We did not know what the heck we were doing but we just knew we wanted to do something for the Town and we got here and we did and I think we did a pretty good job otherwise we would not still be here. Dan we will miss you I am getting a little emotional here and I do not know why. It was been fun, you are not going away you will be around and we will talk to you and Ron I want to wish you the best of luck, I also think we have the best staff round and Mayor Diamond, thank you for coming. Dave Strainer I see you in the back thank you for coming and all the employees and family and friends. Supervisor Montesi-John? Councilman Strough-Well, I will second what Tim said about the Town employees and I think we have a great staff and I look forward to continue to work with them and I said my farewell but not really a farewell, I know how to get ahold of you and that is a good thing. Like I said, good luck Ron and I will be here to help you as much you need me and I look forward to the next year. Supervisor Montesi-Tony? Councilman Metivier-The same for me, Dan, thank you very much. It has been a good few years with you it really has been and Ron congratulations, best of luck and when you need me I will be here for you. I will answer your calls though, just kidding. It will be interesting to see if you change your cell phone or not. Mayor Diamond, thank you for coming we appreciate that, Dave and staff thank you all very much. Have a Happy New Year. Supervisor Montesi-My closing remark is Happy New Year to all and thank you for coming.
