REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING
2.0 PUBLIC HEARING — QUAKER ROAD/BAY ROAD FORCE MAIN
NOTICE SHOWN
PUBLICATION DATE: 9-13-2013
Supervisor Montesi-You can introduce your guest and then give us the story on
this bonding issue.
Engineer Chris Harrington-Two weeks ago I presented the engineers report this is
Ed Hernandez PE of Delaware Engineering I think some of you guys are familiar
with Ed from dealing with the City about a decade ago. This is a job that we need
to do primarily for the force main, some other improvements. You have the
engineering report and we are going to have to borrow approximately a little over
a million dollars in order to pay for this, so that is the bond anticipation note. So,
Ed is here tonight in case any of you guys have any other questions. I know Ron
and I met with Steve Gurzler there about a week and a half ago, Steve had,
because we have to do two intrusions in the City and Steve had some things that
he wants us to do. I talked to Ed and Ed has no problems with what Steve wants
to see. I do plan to meet with the Water Sewer Commission October 7t" just to
clarify what we want to do. So, if you have any other questions?
Supervisor Montesi-Just for the public's information we have a pump station on
Meadowbrook Road which pumps the sewer to the City of Glens Falls. A few
years ago one of the pipes leading out of that pump station busted and we had to
literally had to have a line of septic tank trucks pumping out that pump station for
a course of a day or day and a half until we got the pipe fixed and that cost us
about four hundred thousand. So, what Chris is proposing with Ed here is that
instead of running a duel line down to the City, now you can explain that part of it
what we are doing.
Ed Hernandez PE-So the project builds safety and redundancy into the existing
line by putting a pump out connection about eight hundred feet it also includes
some bypass piping for your sewer department. So, if you do have a break you
have the ability to valve sections of the pipe off, put in this bypass and it gives you
time to fix the repair and you have the bypass set up while you are doing that.
Then there are other components to the project to that include odor control for
Meadowbrook it includes purchase of some residential grinder pumps to do some
back up and support for those.
Supervisor Montesi-New diesel
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 374
Ed Hernandez PE-A new diesel generator correct, pump, to bypass pump the
pump stations as well.
Councilman Brewer-How many actual feet of pipe are in the ground?
Ed Hernandez PE-About ten thousand feet.
Councilman Brewer-Ten thousand feet.
Ed Hernandez PE-So the cost to replace that line would be substantial especially
when you consider where it is located up and down Bay Road as well as on
Quaker Road.
Councilman Brewer-And this is similar in nature to the redundant pipe you are
putting up on West Mountain Road or Corinth Road? I mean it doesn't serve the
same purpose but it is kind of the same thing.
Engineer Harrington-It is the same idea you have got to have back up. Like Ed
said, I looked at to do another main, maybe a directional drill and it will be million
over a million dollars and to find the engineering to find a lane I think is really
would be really expensive. This is going to allow me to replace sections at a time.
Most of the pipe I am sure that pipe should last a hundred years but there might
be sections that are in poor shape so what it will allow me to do is if we have a
break on a section I will go in and repair it and if I have another in a section it is
time to really maybe rehab that section, line it. So, after looking at all the options
I figure this is the best way to go and really for a million dollars I am going to do a
ton of other work that needs to be done. We are even, I mentioned that two
weeks ago we have an elevator that goes down to the pump station and that
elevator is not OSHA compliant and we are going to take care of that on this
project. It is a sewer project but I am pretty excited about some of the things that
we are going to do there.
Councilman Brewer-A lot of little thing that are...
Supervisor Montesi-The reason why went to the City was although all of the work
that we are doing theoretically is all in Town in our Town, we are partners with
the City on our Sewer Project so we just want to let them know what we are
doing and how we are doing it and when we are doing it. Steve Gurzler had a
couple of things that he wanted us to look at a maybe change in the design and I
think we went along with that they were not substantial.
Engineer Harrington-They were minor.
Councilman Strough-What are we doing along Quaker Road? You are going to
have stub
Engineer Harrington-We are going to have directional drill. The problem is if we
just have stub ups and you have to run a line across Quaker Road you couldn't do
it. I mean the traffic, so what we are going to do is we are going to do directional
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 375
drill underneath Quaker Road so that we can use, we are going to have extra pipe
under Quaker Road as a backup with stub ups and then we are going to have an
extra pipe underneath Bay Road with stub ups or something else where they
might in a vault so they are not real obvious that somebody could hit them. We
are going to have back up pipes underneath Bay and backup pipes underneath
Quaker.
Councilman Strough-And that includes putting additional valves in?
Engineer Harrington-Yes. There are about twenty two additional valves we have
to put in, inserter valves.
Supervisor Montesi-Ok, so that is the story maybe we can see if there any
comments from the public? John
Mr. John Salvador-Good evening my name is John Salvador for the record. I am
not a member of either of these two sewer districts that you are talking about
tonight. At your Town Board Meeting of September the 91" this Board resolved to
hold this public hearing to hear all persons interested in improvement to both the
Quaker Consolidated Sewer District and the Route 9 Sanitary Sewer District.
Which are said to be proposed in accordance with the New York State Town Law.
It was noticed that testimony taken at this public hearing will establish a basis for
the Town Board to take such other and further action as maybe required or
authorized by Law this evening. I am wondering what the rush is? In this regard
this resolutions 2.1A and 2.113 if adopted this evening will authorize respectively
the proposed improvements. The installation of a force main bypass system
consisting of multiple bypass connections, install approximately every eight
hundred feet, valves and temporary piping and new pipe under Bay Road and
Quaker Road. Piping to bypass Meadowbrook Pump Station and Hiland Park
Pump Station using a portable trash diesel pump and installation of the
Meadowbrook Pump Station of a pinch valve to flow control to the City of Glens
Falls and an odor control system. Replacement of twenty one grinder pumps
serving homes that cannot be served by gravity sewers as described in the
engineering report. That is the improvements consist of several district distinct
categories of work. A force main, bypass system every hundred feet along the ten
thousand foot force main. New force main piping under Bay Road and Quaker
Road, why? Do we have a problem with the pipe under the road? Has it failed?
Why do we have to do this? Piping to facilities, the bypassing of the
Meadowbrook Pump Station and the Hiland Park Pump Station complete with a
portable diesel engine driven two thousand gallon per minute low head ten inch
diameter pump a pinch valve installation at the Meadowbrook Pump Station an
odor control device and twenty one replacement grinder pumps. Why do we
have to replace all twenty one grinder pumps at the same time, are they failing is
there a record of malfunctioning? With twenty one grinder pumps in a district we
ought to have our own spare parts list. We ought to be able to service these
things we do not have to throw them away just because one breaks down or
impeller goes bad in one. The second resolution 2.113 authorizes the issuance of
up to a million eleven hundred thousand in serial bonds of the Town of
Queensbury to pay the cost of the acquisition, construction and installation of
sewer district force main improvements. Acquisition of what? Acquisition implies
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 376
you are acquiring land. I do not think there is any acquisition here. And
authorizing the issuance of up to one million eleven hundred thousand in bond
anticipation notes of the Town of Queensbury for the same purpose. In the
introductory paragraph of the engineering report Delaware Engineer states at
paragraph 1.2 makes the statement that "this project involves maintenance and
repair of infrastructure with no substantial change in an existing structure or
facility." Maintenance and repair, Delaware Engineering also stated that the
engineering, in the engineering report including the project financing was
prepared and directed by Town Law Article 12 Section 202-B. There in Section
202-B speaks to the "increase or improvement of facilities" and concludes with
the following sentence. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent
the financing of such cost or expense pursuant to the provisions of the local
finance law. Local Finance law is a section of the body of law known as
McKinneys. There is a text on local finance law. The Local Finance law Section 2.0
paragraph 9 defines the terms for purposes of the Town Board's authority to
contract for indebtedness. Paragraph 9 the term capital improvement shall mean
any physical, public betterment or improvement or any preliminary studies and
surveys relative thereto. Land or rights in land, or any furnishings, machinery,
apparatus or equipment for any physical betterment or improvement when such
betterment or improvement is first constructed or acquired. You probably recall
the State having a lot of problems raising money to replace the Tappan Zee
Bridge. You remember that discussion a few months ago? What were they faced
with not a bond issue they were faced with raising thruway tolls. Tolls on that
bridge to finance its replacement. It was bonded once it has been paid for now it
is a question of upkeep, they do not bond again.
Supervisor Montesi-They are building a new one, what do you mean. They are
not going to upkeep the old one they are building a new one.
Mr. Salvador-Bridge?
Supervisor Montesi-They are building a new bridge.
Mr. Salvador-Right
Supervisor Montesi-They are not up keeping the old one.
Mr. Salvador-That's right.
Supervisor Montesi-Why can't they bond the new one?
Mr. Salvador-It's wrong. It is a replacement, it is a replacement that is the point.
Supervisor Montesi-John you are
Mr. Salvador-It is a replacement Mr. Montesi
Supervisor Montesi-John you are making an issue on semantics here.
Mr. Salvador-No.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 377
Supervisor Montesi-If this Town Board did not take action on stuff and followed
your train of thought we would never get a damn thing done. You know we
would be arguing about
Mr. Salvador-But you would be following the law.
Supervisor Montesi-the words here and the words there, so finish your statement
and I will have our engineer answer and then I will have our Attorney answer for
you and maybe you will feel better.
Mr. Salvador-Because this project is for the purpose of maintenance and repair it
cannot be bonded. The cost of the proposed improvements must be offset by a
sewer tax rate increase. That is the way you do this.
Supervisor Montesi-Well we are going to do that.
Mr. Salvador-Not to advertise a bond. Even if this project were to be financed by
a sewer tax increase what is the hurry, what is the hurry? Do we have failures
around us?
Supervisor Montesi-We did.
Councilman Brewer-We had failures and do not want to have any more.
Mr. Salvador-The report said we had a failure in 2005.
Supervisor Montesi-And that cost us four hundred thousand.
Mr. Salvador-What went wrong, what was wrong then what failed.
Supervisor Montesi-the pipe broke.
Mr. Salvador-Where?
Supervisor Montesi-Where I don't know..
Mr. Salvador-Four hundred thousand dollars in the year 2005 1 think some of us
would have heard something about this.
Councilman Brewer-Maybe you were on vacation when it happened John, I
remember it.
Mr. Salvador-Ok. From what little data has been made available we understand
the Meadowbrook Pump Station pumping system is sized for maximum flow of
over a million gallons per day. Why not use the existing if you are going to do
this,
Supervisor Montesi-Now you are talking as an engineer now?
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 378
Mr. Salvador-Yes.
Supervisor Montesi-OK.
Mr. Salvador-Ok. Why not take the existing Meadowbrook pump facility which
has an emergency power generator right, leave that and make that the bypass
and put in a multi stage pumping system to take care of your flow as it has low
flow at a certain season then increase flow at another time and then maximum
flow at another time. That is how you save power costs. Ok. My main point is
that this is maintenance and repair work and the State the Local Finance Law does
not allow it to be financed through a bond issue.
Supervisor Montesi-Bob, do you want to answer that part of it?
Town Counsel Hafner-I would be glad to let your guy
Mr. Salvador-He is your bond counsel he should be able to answer it, right?
Town Counsel Hafner-Yes. I thought they were going to explain what the project
is. I will talk, the project is quite a bit of improvements they have been detailed
before, they were detailed today. There are a lot, the bypass system is not just
maintenance and repair. Under Town Law there are two relevant sections that
we are dealing with. One is 202B which is in Town Law which is how we
authorized a project like this, we have done exactly what the statue says you have
to have a map, plan and report. You have to have a public hearing this is that
public hearing. After the public hearing the Town Board has to find that it is in
the public's interest to do this project and then they authorize the project. That is
what 2.1A is. 2.113 is about the financing and in order to finance things, Mr.
Salvador is correct there is a whole article of New York State Law that is called the
Local Finance law there is also New York State Constitution that says how the
Town can authorize bonding for certain things. They have a whole list of items
that you can bond for and one of the things that we do as your bond counsel is
find which of the many different types of projects the Town can finance. It has to
fit in a box if it is not there then you can't bond it. We outlined it right in here as
the sewer project improvement which is authorized for the Town Board to
finance. We put together the bond resolution and if four of you pass it the Town
can issue BAN's which is bond anticipation notes borrowing for up to one year
which can be renewed over a period of time or bonds to pay for this project.
Councilman Strough-Does it take four votes though?
Town Counsel Hafner-To pass a bond resolution it requires four votes of the Town
Board.
Councilman Strough-Ok. Thank you.
Town Counsel Hafner-If you only had three people here I would tell you, you
would have to face it again in the future.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 379
Supervisor Montesi-Chris, two things, what is the hurry that was one question
that was asked you can address that?
Engineer Harrington-I believe the hurry is, DEC now it is public notification on
sewer spills, you have to it is almost water with a boil water notice, publication
notification. You know that pipe is twenty five years old and we have actually had
two breaks we actually had a problem we also have a problem that you know,
when you have excavations in the road you can have contractors also hit the main
by accident and we have no way to bypass that flow. We have deteriorated pipe
in 2004 1 think we are biding our time before we have another problem and it
unbelievable to me that as a town we are being proactive so we do not have
these problems. It sounds like to me that somebody wants to spend two million
dollars to do another pipe so we can correct the ...as far as the grinder pumps, the
grinder pumps are twenty five years old there is something called useful life, they
need to be. That is the way the Town has done it is water infrastructure you know
where you replace ..useful life is. You need to do something with them. I just felt
it was a good opportunity to get a lot of stuff done at the time.
Supervisor Montesi-The other question was are we putting new pipe underneath
Bay Road and Quaker?
Engineer Harrington-Yes, we are.
Supervisor Montesi-And the reason?
Engineer Harrington-The reason is, because you cannot if you have stub ups on
either side of Bay or Quaker you cannot run a pipe across Quaker or Bay you
cannot with the traffic.
Supervisor Montesi-Ok, this is the dual pipe.
Engineer Harrington-Yes, this is the dual pipe.
Supervisor Montesi-Ok. Thank you.
Councilman Strough-How about the idea of leaving the Meadowbrook as the
bypass?
Engineer Harrington-The problem is, I want to bring Meadowbrook pump station
up to ten state standards. Any ten state standards what you have, you have a
generator or you have storage six hours or storage it is either or. Then you also
have a bypass in case you get hit by lightning. That happens, where you get
...your own generator and you get a lighting strike and guess what, your generator
is gone, and your pumps are gone and your whole electrical system is gone what
am I going to do? Thus you have by pass on those Hiland Park and Meadowbrook
Road pump station. So, I am bring it up to what the ten states says we should do.
Why they were not installed that way back in 1986 1 can only venture but again I
worry about the lightning strikes.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 380
Councilman Strough-Again, John asked about acquisition is it acquisition of the
new piping and the bypass system and so forth right?
Engineer Harrington-Correct.
Supervisor Montesi-Mrs. Sonnabend?
Ms. Kathleen Sonnabend-55 Cedar Court— What did the problem, the problem,
the reason why you are doing this work in part is to update the system in general
and in part to prevent a repeat of the problem that occurred in 2004-2005?
Engineer Harrington-That is correct.
Ms. Sonnabend-Where exactly was that problem?
Engineer Harrington-The problem was just north of the City line right up Bay Road
there to the abandon property.
Supervisor Montesi-Fort Amherst, Garrison
Ms. Sonnabend-So, that is why Bay Road is involved in this.
Engineer Harrington-Correct.
Ms. Sonnabend-This has nothing to do with the developments that have been
approved recently the Schermerhorn Apartments, the Valenti Apartments the
Fowler Square developments that are more dense than was originally
anticipated?
Engineer Harrington-Nothing to do with any kind of district extensions.
Ms. Sonnabend-The grinder pumps that are mention the only time I have ever
heard of grinder pumps has been with respect to Bay Bridge and Surrey Fields, in
that case the homeowner had to pay for their own grinder pumps. So, you are
saying there are grinder pumps in this system that the Town owns not the
homeowners?
Engineer Harrington-That is correct in a public right of way.
Ms. Sonnabend-So those homeowners do not have to pay for their own grinder
pumps.
Engineer Harrington-That is correct.
Ms. Sonnabend-Except through the sewer taxes.
Engineer Harrington-Right.
Ms. Sonnabend-Ok. I got it.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 381
Supervisor Montesi-Kathy I think what happened was specifically on Garrison and
maybe Fort Amherst where it is very, very wet there when they put the sewer line
in they had to dewater they had pipes in the ground every foot to take the water
out of the ground to put the pipe in and I think that is where they put the grinder
pumps for each home. They are owned by the town as part of the sewer district.
Ms. Sonnabend-They are not next to the basement of the house.
Supervisor Montesi-No.
Ms. Sonnabend-Got it. I think it is great that the Town is addressing this I am just
curious why the problem occurred in 2004-2005 why it is taking this long to deal
with it.
Supervisor Montesi-He is new.
Engineer Harrington-I am an engineer I mean, the first time, I will be honest with
you when I started talking to Mike Shaw about this it jumped right out at me like
how can we exercise one force main after so, it is just me being an engineer.
Ms. Sonnabend-ok.
Supervisor Montesi-The other problem is were our pump station is located if we
do have an overflow it's I guess I would say within a thousand feet of Halfway
Brook and that could cause us another thirty seven thousand dollars a day if we
contaminate.
Engineer Harrington-The problem you are going to have is you are going to have
fines and then you are going to have consent from DEC to fix it. So, you're not
only going to have to pay fines you are going to have an emergency contract and
you are going to pay, if you have a sewer spill you are going to be paying double
of what we are doing now. So, I mean.
Ms. Sonnabend-My only other question is my understanding was back in the 80's
that DEC did an environmental study of the area of the sewer systems and they
said that Queensbury should be hooking up by running a line directly to the Glens
Falls Treatment Plant. Right now we are hooked up to the combined sewer in
Glens Falls which combines storm water and sewer and as a result when there is a
lot of heavy rain which we are getting and more of these days whether it is
climate change or not who knows. So, we are getting more of these events where
a lot of sewage gets dumped in the Hudson River periodically. Why aren't we
looking at putting a line in directly into the Glens Falls Treatment Plant so that
Queensbury is not adding to this problem because aren't we going to have
eventually the Environmental Protection Agency looking at us and fining us for
this?
Councilman Brewer-Is that not the City's issue, Chris?
Engineer Harrington-Yea, this is the City's issue, I mean, I have looked at the
peaking factors for inflow and infiltration and we are within standard. I know it is
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 382
going to come to a head but the City has problems where they have a lot of illicit
connections, they have storm drains connected to sanitary. You know they built
the system a hundred years ago, I am not begrudging the City but you know, again
Queensbury what we contribute again we are within standards set forth by the
American Society of Civil Engineers and Ten State Standards so we do not
contribute. If the City can match our peaks there would not be an issue. The City
has some issues and they are working on CSO but it has nothing to do with us.
Councilman Brewer-... in a pipe in the ground though I think that is the issue.
Supervisor Montesi-I think the City is under consent right now and they just got
another three million dollar grant to take their storm water and put a different
pipe in, I believe they are working on that.
Engineer Harrington-I think they are going to build like a, I think like a three
hundred thousand gallon combined storage outflow to store flow during peaks.
So, they are working under it, but again this notion out there that Queensbury is
somehow involved in the overflow issues it is patently not true.
Ms. Sonnabend-Even with the additional demands that is going to happen with all
the rest of the development along Bay Road as more people ...
Engineer Harrington-We have all capacity they have sold us capacity and we are
going to have 1.3 million gallons of capacity they said there is 2 % million gallons
or 2 million gallons capacity for Queensbury. So, they are telling us that there is
capacity there for our needs. We are not, like as nobody is going to tell the water
department in Queensbury, Moreau or Hudson Falls they are not going to tell us
what kind of capacities we have I am sure not going to tell the City of Glens Falls
what kind of capacities they have.
Ms. Sonnabend-Chris, one of the things you said, one of the reasons you said you
were hired was the fact in November was one to look at the Bay Road Sewer
capacity and the other was to look into Glens Falls concerns that there was
infiltration happening from Queensbury. Are you aware that there may be an
infiltration problem that there may have been in illegal hookup in Hiland Park off
the golf course?
Engineer Harrington-Hiland Park is an old system built by a private company back
in the early 80's and Hiland Park in and of itself is somewhat problematic, but
when you combine it with the other sewer districts it doesn't really amount to a
hill of beans to Meadowbrook Road pump station. I know that the piping that was
put in, in Hiland Park was probably not up to par but when you compare it to the
rest of the system it is a very small amount that doesn't contribute overall to a big
infiltration problem, if there is one.
Ms. Sonnabend-If they are not hooked up legally shouldn't we be addressing that
too?
Engineer Harrington-I do not know where, the hookup you are speaking to is the
golf course?
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 383
Ms. Sonnabend-I think so.
Engineer Harrington-Ok. Ron do you want to speak to the golf course?
Ms. Sonnabend-I am not technically knowledgeable I have just heard that there is
an issue there so I am asking.
Engineer Harrington-It is about that pump not working that went to Halfway
Brook and it wasn't working and we had this discussion in the budget meeting
John and Ron about, I guess Mr. Auer says where is that water going and you said
that the pump was not working on the pond. I am not sure, the golf course can
you speak to that?
Supervisor Montesi-The golf course is allowed by DEC standards to take a million
gallons a day out of Halfway Brook. That pump brings it up to the as you drive
down Haviland Road there is that nice big pond on the green that is there
reservoir for the rest of the golf course. The interesting thing is when they put
the pump in the ground it was .... like this it would go in and take the water and
then come out. It keeps burning out on it. So, we took DEC back there and said
can they put it in the ground this way like a pump should be and DEC gave them
permission to do that because they have to dig around in Halfway Brook and they
just have not had the dollars I guess to do it or you know they just keep replacing
the pump.
Ms. Sonnabend-Well they are not hooked into the sewer line improperly.
Supervisor Montesi-No, what is hooked in through and Chris will verify this is, that
some of the homes there are running their sump pumps into the sewer lines,
Ms. Sonnabend-Maybe that is what I heard.
Supervisor Montesi-that is
Engineer Harrington-That is against code. But that is for the Town Board to
Ms. Sonnabend-So why aren't we addressing this?
Supervisor Montesi-That would be an inspection of each house I presume right?
Engineer Harrington-Yes but again when you look at our infiltration our
infiltration is within standard. You are taking a sledge hammer to kill a fly. Our
infiltration there is not we are within and I sent you something Ron back maybe
three or four weeks ago, again we are well within standards according to ...pipe
line and what our infiltration is.
Ms. Sonnabend-I am just saying if we know that they are not up to code why are
we not enforcing?
Engineer Harrington-There are a ton of things in that code.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 384
Councilman Brewer-We do not know that they aren't is the issue. There has been
accusations' I have heard this conversation for years, Mike Shaw did go up and
take readings I think a couple of years ago, no evidence of a real big problem. So
Ms. Sonnabend-All right.
Engineer Harrington-...where are you going to put the water? You have to have a
plan to you know ok, fine you do not want me to, where do you want me to put
it?
Ms. Sonnabend-I just think we need to be aware of this and when we approve
developments we know we have a flood plain here so let's not be crazy.
Councilman Brewer-We are aware of that and I think if we look Mike Shaw did do
not just one study for a couple of years, he took readings and I do not know
exactly how he did the measurement but he did do it because I asked him about it
and he said yea, I got this I am doing it. In a different position now next year I will
do it somewhere else up in that area. So, I do not know exactly what the findings
were.
Ms. Sonnabend-Have you look at any of that, that report?
Engineer Harrington-Again, what I have done I have kind of simplified it where I
look at infiltration as a whole. Our infiltration when you look at numbers in
November and I can be real wonky here I don't feel like being real wonky but
again there are standards, there are standards with water treatment there are
standards with wastewater infiltration and we are well within the standard.
Ms. Sonnabend-When you say looking at Queensbury overall are you talking the
whole town or just this area.
Engineer Harrington-The Route 9 and the Meadowbrook Road, Quaker Road
sewer district that go into Meadowbrook.
Ms. Sonnabend-I think Meadowbrook Road is most of what the problem is.
Engineer Harrington-We are within standards.
Ms. Sonnabend-Thank you.
Mr. John Salvador-Just a couple of points, Mr. Hafner's exact, Mr. Hafner is
correct in what he stated except it applies to capital projects only. As far as being
fearful of a fine from the DEC the Village of Lake George dumped eighty thousand
gallons of raw sewage into Lake George a couple of years ago and got fined ten
thousand dollars.
Councilman Brewer-Does that mean it is ok and go ahead and do it John?
Mr. Salvador-No it is not.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 09-23-2013 MTG#37 385
Councilman Brewer-Ok, we are trying to present that.
Mr. Salvador-But, I am saying the concern of having being hit with unreasonable
fine is not realistic, they just don't do that. They just don't do that.
Supervisor Montesi-Any other questions? (None) Board Members (None)
