POST STAR GUESTS: RESIDENTS OF QUEENSBURY AVENUE DISCUSSION HELD ON THE PROPOSED TRANSIT SYSTEM SUPERVISOR WALTER-AFTER REVIEWING THE PROPOSAL GIVEN TO US BY THE MAYOR OF GLENS FALLS , CERTAIN POINTS SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP. . . OF THE TWENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WE WILL BE PUTTING TOWARD THE FIRST YEAR EXPENSE OF THE OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM, EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS OF THAT IS FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES . I WONDER IF THE TOWN SHOULD BE PROVIDING MONIES FOR THE PURCHASE OF BUSES WHICH THE MAYOR HAS STATED WILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY OF GLENS FALLS? I DO NOT THINK THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF AUDIT AND CONTROL WOULD BE TOO HAPPY FOR QUEENSBURY TO BE DOING THAT. WE COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IF THERE WAS A PROVISION THAT IF THE SYSTEM WAS DISSOLVED THAT QUEENSBURY WOULD RECOUP A PERCENTAGE OF THE MONEY THAT WAS RECEIVED BY THE CITY AFTER THE SALE OF THE EQUIPMENT AND PAY ANY UNPAID CAPITAL COSTS EQUAL TO THE PERCENTAGE THAT WE HAVE PUT INTO THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. COUNCILMAN EISENHART- I THINK THAT IS A VERY DESIRABLE ARRANGEMENT. . .
