PUBLIC HEARING—AMENDMENT TO EMERGENCY PROTECTION SERVICES
AGREEMENT BETWEEN TOWN AND BAY RIDGE RESCUE SQUAD REGARDING
CERTAIN ISSUES INCLUDING INCREASE OF AGENCY PAY RATES
PUBLICATION DATE: APRIL 5, 2013
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-All three of these resolutions should be of interest to the general
public. We had a meeting with the three rescue squads West Glens Falls, Bay Ridge and North
Queensbury. We had a little business to attend to then we talked about how competitive we were
with the rest of the communities for paid staff. We found out that we were not as competitive so
this first resolution will raise the rate of basic life support from thirteen twenty five to fourteen
fifty an hour and advanced life support from sixteen fifty to seventeen fifty. That will be for Bay
Ridge there will also be something for West Glens Falls, but we will get to that one.

PUBLICATION DATE:APRIL 5,2013
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 04-15-2013 MTG#17 9
OPENED PUBLIC HEARING
SUPERVISOR MONTESI- Just a little explanation here. This is in general; I am off on the numbers just a
little bit. West Glens Falls does about sixteen hundred calls a year. Bay Ridge does about nine hundred calls
a year am I pretty accurate on that Connie? Then North Queensbury is about a hundred a year.
UNKNOWN-A hundred and seventy.
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-Okay. The problem is that it is very difficult to make any money even get staff
when you are only doing a hundred and seventy a year. The rescue squads have come up with a really good
plan. What the plans are is we will put a BLS, ALS team up in Lake George and North Queensbury for the
critical months of May through September, October the summer season. That crew will then move to West
Glens Falls and Bay Ridge as a floater crew. It really makes a lot of sense it solves the problem for us in
North Queensbury where we just didn't have as much volunteerism as we needed and I think this is going to
work out well. The payroll is going to be handled for North Queensbury by West Glens Falls, let me tell you
folks that is a pretty big deal to get all three of these guys to agree so thank you. By the way the budget that
North Queensbury has presented for the next two years is a flat budget no increase.
JOHN SALVADOR-Questioning whether or not the one hundred and seventy runs in North Queensbury
includes the runs to the Town of Fort Ann.
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-It does.
MR. SALVADOR-It includes them.
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-About twenty.
MR. SALVADOR-About twenty any way we can get the Town of Fort Ann to support these?
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-They did they gave us a twenty five hundred dollars check,which I asked for.
MR. SALVADOR-It's a start. Thank you.

WARREN COUNTY SUPERVISOR WILLIAM MASON
WARREN COUNTY SUPERVISOR MASON-Resident of Cleverdale,Warren County Board of Supervisor
at Large from the Town of Queensbury. Spoke to the board regarding the No Parking Signs thanked the
board for starting the process to take down the signs. The request is to remove them from the entire length of
the road but a possible compromise is to make it No Parking on the east side of the road only between the end
of the point and the north intersection of Cleverdale Road and Mason Road. If it makes sense we could all
listen to comments at the public hearing and then go from there. I have been speaking with the neighborhood
for the past year and have yet to find a single resident who thinks that they are a good idea.
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-Spoke with the board asking them what their comments were. I don't think
anyone has a problem with it we would like to wait until May when the summer residents are there. We will
need to have a public hearing I think we should have the fire department there,too.
SUPERVISOR AT LARGE,MASON-Spoke to the board regarding the status of the aquatic invasive species
fight in Lake George also noted his concern with all of the water throughout the Town has been working with
all the Supervisor's from other Town's in Warren County to develop a County wide strategy to pilot it at
Lake George then expand the program some of the Town's will be funding their own initiatives that are better
than what we are able to do in Lake George this year. The western states are way ahead of us we are playing
catch up here in the east. The goal is to enhance the voluntary inspection and boat wash program in 2013 and
to encourage the implementation of a mandatory program by 2014. We have a Warren County Transport
Law that makes it illegal to transport invasive species in Warren County. The County Board is in the process
of amending the law to make it more effective. Asked the board with the possibility of the Town helping to
fund the boat wash program again this year. Also requested to arrange a meeting between the Queensbury
Town leaders and the leaders from other Towns and Villages, which are engaged in this fight this is a battle
that requires a sustain effort every year. Requested that Supervisor Montesi and one of the Councilmen
attend a meeting with him and the leaders from the other Town's surrounding Lake George. Asking to
expand the program from one wash station to five,which is the number of stations in the proposal from Lake
George Park Commission in order to do this we are seeking contributions. The boat wash station that was
purchased and manned last year cost a total of thirty five thousand dollars the funding came from four
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 04-15-2013 MTG#17 11
contributors. The Towns of Bolton, Lake George and Queensbury each gave ten thousand dollars the Town
of Hague gave five thousand dollars. This year we have a price to purchase twenty three thousand dollars per
station. The labor cost to man it is approximately sixteen thousand dollars. The Lake George Park
Commission has secured funding for two new stations. The labor to man these two will be paid out of a
contribution fund we believe it is fully secured. The Town of Bolton is hoping to buy and man a station in a
partnership deal including the station from last year that makes four. Proposal to the Town of Queensbury is
we have seven or eight marinas in the Town of Queensbury on Lake George. I am working with those
marina owners to come up with a voluntary program that they can enforce so that boats trying to launch can
be identified as needing to be washed can be sent to a facility that is close by. If the marinas are willing to
enforce it, it becomes a public private partnership that results in a sort of mandatory program. In 2011, the
Town of Queensbury donated five thousand dollars to the Asian Clam Eradication Program. In 2012, the
same five thousand was donated for that program and an additional ten thousand was donated to help
purchase and fund the boat wash program. Thanked the board noting they cannot do the work without the
support and cooperation of the Town's that surround the lake. Asked the board for thirteen thousand for the
boat wash program this year by using the logic that if Queensbury, Lake George and Lake George Village
would split the cost of buying and manning station, it would be thirty nine thousand divided by three or
thirteen thousand dollars each. We are not buying boat wash stations for ourselves we are funding a program.
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-We can do this we will probably get some of these boats cleaned,unless we make
it mandatory it really will not be an effective program for us it doesn't mean that we can't try. We have made
contributions in the past we have been supportive give us a little bit of time and we will come up with an
answer.

Section 17. The Town of Queensbury is a town partially within the Adirondack Park. However,
State lands subject to taxation within the Town's boundaries are assessed at less than thirty percent

designated bond counsel.
