their concerns also with Warren County Board of Supervisors,that's the appropriate place to
do that. It's not going to be an easy decision or discussion for the County Supervisors. It will

SUPERVISOR STROUGH
0 We have to thank Kathy Bozony. She is a consultant that we hired to do our environmental
issues. There is just too much on my desk, so we hired her, and she's worked out very well.
We do have a Clean Fleets inventory, and we have a $10,000 in grant money coming to us.
We replaced our old Cobra Head streetlights with LEDs, and we received a check from
National Grid for$58,365. Clean heating and cooling campaign we got 300 points, so we get
$50,000 for that and tier two heating and cooling campaign additional points we get awarded
$10,000. So, Kathy Bozony and the Clean Energy Committee thank you all for doing a good
job and doing the green thing for Queensbury and getting us money at the same time. Good
deal.
• Luzerne Road culvert replacement that was announced may not be done till end of September
is done, few odds and ends left but Luzerne Road is now open.
0 We got a thank you from Prospect School. We helped them with a crosswalk and put a safer
walk in for them and they thanked the Town Board and the Highway Department for their
support.
• Eleanor and Albert Oudekerk had their 75 h anniversary. The Oudekerk's go way back, to
having farms on Dix and Quaker Road area. I and the Town Board wish to wish them many
more anniversaries and thank them for what they've done for the Town of Queensbury.
• Kevin Hajos is trying to get to all the storm damage from the July 16'h storm, and we had
significant damage. Horrible what happened in Michael's part of the woods, Dorset and
Crownwood and John Clendon Road.We are still helping outpicking up debris in and around
the Town,the Highway Department is that is. It's a big task.
• Letter received from Alan Wishart. Mr. Strough, I wanted to take a minute to commend your
EMS staff for a job well done. They responded to a medical emergency at my home at 278
Cleverdale on July 15''. Your EMS team was excellent. They quickly took control of the
patient's care in a very professional,personal and caring way. Everyone worked together as a
team to provide great care for the patient and also to his very concerned family members who
witnessed the event. While they were all examples of what public service should look like
Fred McKinney was exceptional. He was able to connect with the patient and talk him into
going to the hospital to get checked out. I want to thank them all for their great response and
for making what was a bad situation that much better. They were great examples of caring
professionals and excellent representatives of your organization.
• I want to thank Joel Barlow and Jesse Jackson from TV8 for filming our Town Board
meetings. Thank you, Town Counsel Bob Hafner of Miller, Mannix, Schachner and Hafner.
