5.0 CORRESPONDENCE
DEPUTY TOWN CLERK RATHBUN-Received thank you letter from Kyle Gannon thanking us for
our financial assistance with the upcoming New York State Public High School Athletic Association
events at the Queensbury School. We received a letter from the Department of Transportation on
reducing the speed limit to 45mph for Bay Road from Route 149 to Route 9L. We received two letters
from the Adirondack Park Agency regarding amending the Town Zoning Law, Chapter 179
"Zoning' .
6.0 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR(LIMIT - 4 MINUTES)
JEAN LAPPER, resident of Ward I-Thanked Supervisor Strough for making October 2024 Equal
Rights Awareness Month in the Town of Queensbury. Spoke regarding her involvement with the
passing of Proposition 1.
MIKE PARWANA, resident of Ward L Thanked Jean Lapper for all her work on Proposition 1
and thanked John for making October Equal Rights Awareness Month. Spoke regarding
Proposition 1.
PETER ROWLAND, resident of Ward L Thanked Supervisor Strough for the Proclamation and
Jean Lapper for all her work on Proposition 1. Noted that some of the signs that he put up had
been stolen. Thanked Supervisor for everything you do.
7.0 TOWN BOARD DISCUSSIONS
COUNCILMAN METIVIER (WARD I)
• Mentioned his surprise at getting the speed limit reduced on Bay Road. The State
reduced it more than was requested. I apologize to all the people who will be upset by
this.
• Recognized Supervisor Strough's article in the Chronicle. It was heartfelt and we all
wish you the best. Everyone here wants you to get better.
COUNCILMAN DIXON (WARD III)
• Attended the event for the Special Olympics this past weekend in Glens Falls. A great
group and I wish Queensbury could host the event in the future.
• Announced that John does a great job for this Town.
• Announced that he thinks that fighting for anti-discrimination is good even if we do not
agree with others. I do not like discrimination, it has no place.
• Announced that we have been informed that both political parties have been missing
some signs. Please give everybody the chance to voice their opinions and be respectful.
COUNCILMAN MCNULTY (WARD IV)
• Recapped on the last meeting on the Proclamation that there has been some letters and
articles. The Proclamation which was referred to several times tonight was not'Equal
Rights Awareness Month', I will speak for myself, I supported that. In March, it was
going to be `Equal Rights Awareness' across the board. The Proclamation specifically
references Proposition 1, which I do not support. I think it is interesting depending on
where you sit someone else's concerns or rights to someone else becomes a phobia. I do
not think that is right. I thought it was democracy at its best. It is a poorly written
Constitutional Amendment; I think both sides would agree on that. It was not a place for
that in the Town Hall.
Regular Town Board Meeting, 10-21-2024, Mtg#32 26
• Reported that he has had signs removed as well as some of the other candidates. Lynne
Boecher of the Democratic Party Committee Chairman and I are on record with both
papers regarding the missing signs. It is not correct to take other people rights or take
away their ability to voice their rights. I do not think it is committee members from
either side. You can take them off your own personal property. Please do not take them
until November 6 h, then you can take them down.
• Attended last weekend the West Glens Falls Training Fire Department, they did a mock
recovery, and two days later there was a rollover on Corinth Road where they went
through the same steps as they did at the training. This is what our volunteers do on
weekends in their free time to prepare themselves for these events. It went flawlessly. A
shout out to all our Fire and EMS volunteers for all the work that they do.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH
• Agreed that our Fire and EMS volunteers are the finest.
• Reviewed the Fall Leaf Pickup schedule.
• Announced there is a Sewer Rehabilitation Project on Pershing Road, Ashley Place,
Broadacres Road, Luzerne Place and Roosevelt Avenue. Anticipated a month for the
project and will require a temporary shutdown during this time. A temporary shutdown
notice will be sent out to all homeowners.
• Thanked Joel Barlow, Look TV, Town Counsel Mark Schachner, Deputy Town Clerk
Colleen Rathbun, Town Board and the members of the public.
