There were some questions about the way the plan was done. Mr. Jarrett came out to the site with us and helped us understand this. It's an incredibly small site and they are making some very good improvements in the septic system. Invited the applicant and agent up to explain their proposal. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 01-14-2013 MTG#3 792 TOM JARRETT, ENGINEER- Explained that the Merritt's are proposing to upgrade/replace their residence at 103 Birdsall Road. The first step is to obtain or pursue variances through this Board for the wastewater system. Originally, a system was proposed very close to Birdsall Road that would have required two variances but after some feedback from numerous sources in the Town it was decided to change their proposal and move it approximately 97 feet from Glen Lake. A total of six variances are being sought in order to do this. Apologized for the confusion on the plans; in an attempt to clarify, submitted some documents to the Board Members to aid in understanding the system, the site and their proposal. COUNCILMAN BREWER- Spoke of a neighboring well and the concern of possible contamination. Questioned Mr. Jarrett whether they would be willing to have that well tested if the Board should decide to give a condition of approval? MR. JARRETT, ENGINEER- They would have no problem cooperating in that fashion, but not sure about the owner. Would propose some testing before any new system is put in to give them some background baseline results. COUNCILMAN STROUGH- The public hearing will be held on January 28, 2013.

FOR PROVISION OF MEDICAL DIRECTOR AND KNOX BOX EXPENSES SUPERVISOR MONTESI- Connie, would you like to talk to us about what you want. CONNIE GOEDERT- I am President of the West Glens Falls Emergency Squad. We have been working with the previous Supervisor; and Ron in reference to receiving funds for the Medical Director, which is required for the Emergency Squad and the knox boxes, which are required within the Town, those funds are $9,000 a year for 2012, 13 and 14 to be added to our contract. I believe the knox box funds are $2,257. This is a normal process that's required and we have spoken numerous times in reference to it and are looking to get your support in doing that. SUPERVISOR MONTESI- Okay, Connie the reason for the $9,000 for the Medical Director is that this was a cost that, I guess, the Hospital used to provide for us at no cost to the Emergency Squads, and now there is a cost involved in it. We all understand some of those issues. So, that's one of the reasons why once we've signed a three year contract with you we thought we were done, but we did know that this bill might be coming and now it's here. MRS. GOEDERT- That's correct, I believe when they first sent them out they sent them out on a different format than the intent and the new evaluation on them are so much per run, is how they're done. That's why all the agencies within the Town of Queensbury should be a different amount COUNCILMAN METIVIER- I was going to ask that; that they are certainly substantially different amounts. But, you're using the same Medical Director correct? MRS. GOEDERT- It's all the same. It's all Dr. Girling COUNCILMAN METIVIER- Right MRS. GOEDERT- That's through Glens Falls Hospital. I believe he had a meeting with Mr. Stec a number of months ago COUNCILMAN METIVIER- Right SUPERVISOR MONTESI-Now, knox boxes just for the benefit of the public, do you want to explain that MRS. GOEDERT-Well, if I can. These are something new to EMS, even quite new. What it does is allow you into the facilities like the nursing homes. Usually the fire companies have them, now the squads are carrying them because of the different facilities within the Town of Queensbury SUPERVISOR MONTESI- It's an emergency key access REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 01-14-2013 MTG#3 795 MRS. GOEDERT-Yes, and it's controlled by, if I go in there I put my EMS number in there, it keeps a record of who got in there COUNCILMAN BREWER- And when MRS. GOEDERT-Because it allows you into facilities that you really shouldn't be allowed in to COUNCILMAN STROUGH- And that's the difference between these knox boxes and the old ones. The old ones it didn't account for who was using the key and when and the new ones do MRS. GOEDERT- That's correct COUNCILMAN BREWER- Okay MRS. GOEDERT-And the knox boxes have already been installed, I don't believe we've had to use it yet but it is there COUNCILMAN BREWER- Ron, can I throw something out there? MRS. GOEDERT- Sure COUNCILMAN BREWER- I know this has really got nothing to do with this but I want to see if I can make it have something to do with it. You refinanced MRS. GOEDERT-Yes COUNCILMAN BREWER- You reduced your cost MRS. GOEDERT-Yes COUNCILMAN BREWER- Why can't we use that money to pay for this for three years? MRS. GOEDERT-Well, first of all, 2012 is already past us, we didn't have that COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I understand that, but I'm MRS. GOEDERT-And then the other savings, it's a monthly savings in at which time we have to negotiate our, we have to come back and negotiate with you on those funds. These funds were agreed to prior to that savings COUNCILMAN BREWER- I understand that and you refinanced, but I guess what I'm saying is if we're going to save, and I don't remember the exact number but it was like SUPERVISOR MONTESI- $24,000 COUNCILMAN BREWER- $24,000 MRS. GOEDERT- I think, we just signed the paperwork last week so COUNCILMAN BREWER- Right MRS. GOEDERT-We haven't initiated COUNCILMAN BREWER-No I don't have any problem with this, I'm just saying that if we're going to save $24,000 for three years Connie that's 72,000 why do we have to spend more money, why can't we take some of that money that's already been allocated and use it to pay for this? MRS. GOEDERT- Only, I would say because that wasn't the agreement and intent COUNCILMAN BREWER- Yeah but what are you going to do with the money MRS. GOEDERT- I have no idea. We haven't even gotten that far yet, to be honest with you REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 01-14-2013 MTG#3 796 COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I understand, I'm just throwing the idea out. I know that you don't have the money in your pocket book, I understand that. It's something to think about I guess MRS. GOEDERT- Oh no, and when we do, like I said you'll be the first ones to know. We will be up here to negotiate with you COUNCILMAN BREWER- Right MRS. GOEDERT- That's an open... It's understood that those funds have to be negotiated with the Town as to what they're being done with. At that point in time, that would be up to you to support the issue or not COUNCILMAN BREWER- Well MRS. GOEDERT- It's not extra money that we have that we can just go spend anywhere COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I know that. It's money that's in your budget though that you're not going to have to spend because you refinanced, which was smart, prudent; but what I'm saying, I think you know what I'm saying, if you're going to have that money left in your budget I would propose that we use that money to pay for things like this MRS. GOEDERT- I think its two different issues though COUNCILMAN STROUGH- Well, I believe it is two different issues too. I know what you're saying Tim, and I think we can come to a compromise, but in previous negotiations, and you were part of it COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I don't have a problem with the Knox boxes John, I know that; but what I'm saying is that this came after that COUNCILMAN STROUGH- Right, after that COUNCILMAN BREWER- Right, I don't have a problem paying for it COUNCILMAN STROUGH- So,they refinanced, they refinanced like I would like everyone to do to save money. COUNCILMAN BREWER- Exactly COUNCILMAN STROUGH- We also want that refinancing effort to be rewarded by the EMS or fire company that goes for the refinancing and saves money. Part of that can be used for training and equipment, and maybe part of it can be used to pay down the debt; but that's something we can talk about COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, and we will talk about it. We have money in the... well, I don't want to get into the long, drawn out process of their budget and stuff John because they have money in there for training COUNCILMAN STROUGH- Well COUNCILMAN BREWER- But, let's get away from that for right now, we'll talk about it. I don't have a problem with the Knox boxes, we agreed to it so I'll stand by what I said previous, but be prepared for that proposal MRS. GOEDERT- Oh, and that's fine. I'll be here before you're to meet so. That money will not be spent without coming to you COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I understand... so I understand that REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 01-14-2013 MTG#3 797 MRS. GOEDERT-It will be directed. I'll tell you it's either go for heart monitors or it's going to go to off-set the debt COUNCILMAN BREWER- That's fine MRS. GOEDERT- Once we bring it to you guys COUNCILMAN STROUGH- Yeah SUPERVISOR MONTESI-All right, any other questions, Tony? COUNCILMAN METIVIER-No COUNCILMAN STROUGH-No, how about members of the public? COUNCILMAN STROUGH- Well, hearing none, I make the motion to approve COUNCILMAN METIVIER- I'll second RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AMENDMENT TO EMERGENCY PROTECTION SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN TOWN OF QUEENSBURY AND WEST GLENS FALLS EMERGENCY SQUAD, INC.
