MAY 22 , 1979 6 TO : MIKE BRANDT Ff3QM,f �E.C}jEfjT ,ON CR S ;ON i WE THE UNDERSIGNED MEMBERS OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION OPPOSED THE PUBLIC STATEMENTS MADE BY THE TOWN SUPERVISOR REGARDING THE SUMMER BASEBALL PROGRAM . THE MAIN FUNCTION OF THE COMMISSION IS TO RECOMMEND PROGRAMS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SAME. WE FEEL THE TOWN SUPERVISOR DID NOT ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL RESIDENTS IN THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY. WE FEEL PUBLIC CLARIFICATION IS IN ORDER. SIGNED BY ATTACHED LETTER. ( ON FILE ) HH/SBS LTR. MAY 22 , 1979 QUEENSBURY RECREATION COMMISSION BAY AT HAVILAND ROAD GLENS FALLS , NEW YORK 12801 GENTLEMEN : I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ERROR I MADE IN MY STATEMENT OF MAY 15. I WAS WRONG. THE SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM IS NOT USING OUR TOWN RECREATION PROGRAM FOR SUMMER PRACTICE. FURTHER , I LEARNED THAT THERE WERE ONLY 6 VARSITY BASKETBALL PLAYERS OF THE 43 PARTICIPANTS IN LAST YEARS PROGRAM. I DO NOT HAVE DATA ON OUR WRESTLING PROGRAM. THE $1 , 000. PER YEAR UMPIRING COSTS FOR ONLY 50 SOME PARTICIPANTS IS WHAT CAUSED ME TO QUESTION THE INTENT OF THE BASEBALL PROGRAM. I BELIEVE OUR TOWN RECREATION PROGRAM, WITH VERY LIMITED FUNDS , MUST AVOID SUCH LUXURIES. ORGANIZED SPORTS ARE AVAILABLE TO MANY CHILDREN THROUGH OUR SCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS ARE HEALTHY AND SHOULD BE SUPPORTED WITHIN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. AS OU^ TOWN RECREATION PROGRAM EVOLVED , IT HELD A CLOSE PARALLEL TO THE SCHOOL' S VARISTY SPORTS. I BELIEVE IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE TOWN RECREATION COMMISSION TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE 509 TO 60% OF CHILDREN NOT INVOLVED IN VARSITY SPORTS , THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN STILL TOO YOUNG FOR ORGANIZED SPORTS AND THE ADULTS WHO HAVE LEFT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM . THERE IS AN OUTCRY FROM OUR PUBLIC FOR NEIGHBORHOOD RECREATION PARKS! WE MUST PROVIDE SANDBOXES , SWINGS , LIGHTED BASKETBALL COURTS AND FIELDS FOR FIELD SPORTS THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF OUR TOWN . THESE FACILITIES CAN PROVIDE FOR UNSTRUCTURED°_PLAY AND SPORTS AS WELL AS STRUCTURED SPORTS. IT IS OUR CHALLENGE TO MAKE BETTER USE OF OUR LIMITED BUDGET AND BY DOING SO, GATHER THE CONFIDENCE NECESSARY TO EXPAND OUR BUDGET TO PROVIDE THE FACILITIES NEEDED. SINCERELY, /S/ MICHEL R. BRANDT SUPERVISOR OPEN FORUM MRS. DAVIDSON-PRESENTED THE TOWN BOARD WITCH A PETITION SIGNED BY RESIDENTS OF BROADACRES ( 77 ) DEMANDING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY SEWER DISTRICT AND DEMAND THE RIGHT TO VOTE. . . SPOKE ON THE VOTE THAT WAS HELD IN JUNE OF 1977. . . QUESTIONED WHY DISTRICT 16 DID NOT VOTE ON THE COUNTY REFERENDUM? SUPERVISOR BRANDT-THE COUNTY LEVEL DISTRICT WAS A VOTE ACCORDING TO WHO WAS IN THAT DISTRICT AND ONLY PEOPLE WITHIN THAT COUNTY DISTRICT COULD VOTE , APPARENTLY ELECTION DISTRICT 16 AS OTHER PARTS OF THE TOWN ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE COUNTY DISTRICT. SUPERVISOR BRANDT-FROM MY OWN VIEWPOINT BROAD ACRES DOES NEED SEWERS. . . • REVIEWED A STUDY THAT WAS DONE TESTING STORM SEWERS IN THAT AREA FOR RAW, SE%�APE, , .NOTED THAT THEY FOUND NO TIE IN FROM THE HOUSES TO THE STORM SEWERS , BUT THERE WAS BACTERIA FOUND IN THE STORM SEWER WATER. . . I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH THE TOWN ENGINEER TO SEE IF WE COULD CONSIDERED j PIGGY-BACKING OR RIGHT BEHIND C& REFERENDUM HOLD A SPECIAL REFERENDUM FOR THAT DISTRICT TO ADD SEWA6E` A3 A SPECIAL DISTRICT TO INCREASE THE MAIN SEWER PROJECT. THEY WILL PRESENT INFORMATION TO US WITH THAT CONCEPT IN MIND NEXT TUESDAY AT 4 : 00 P. M. IT IS MY INTENT TO HAVE THAT EXTENSION OF THE SEWER DISTRICT CONSIDERED IMMEDIATELY AS LONG AS THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT IT. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FEASIBILITY OF HANDLING THAT SEWAGE THROUGH THE CITY SYSTEM RATHER THAN CREATING A MAIN LINE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE TOWN, I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO DO THAT, I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO CITY OFFICIALS I TO SEE IF THEY COULD ACCOMMODATE US. THAT IS AN ENGINEERING REQUEST THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH I AM NOT SURE THEY CAN ANSWER THAT RIGHT AWAY. . . MRS. DAVIDSON- IN SPEAKING WITH AN ENGINEER HE NOTED THAT IT CAN 'T BE DONE BECAUSE THE FLOW GOES TO HALF-WAY BROOK NOT TO THE RIVER. . . COUNCILMAN WALTER- I DO NOT UNDERSTAND, WHY WOULD WE GO WITH A REFERENDUM ON TOP OF A REFERENDUM AND NOT HAVE IT ALL AT ONCE? SUPERVISOR BRANDT- THAT IS A BOARDS DECISION , WHAT EVER THEY WANT TO DO.

SUPERVISOR BRANDT-AT A MEETING WE HAVE EXPRESSED TO THE ENGINEERS A SET OF LINES THAT WERE PROPOSED AND IN A VOTE TOLD THEM THAT WAS ITS IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT CAN ' T BE CHANGED , PROBABLY IT STILL CAN BE CHANGED, IF THERE IS A STRONG ENOUGH FEELING WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT.
