PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COUNCILMAN MONTESI
PUBLIC HEARING-Notice shown-Financial obligation of Qsby. Central Vol. Fire Co.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Declared the Public Hearing Open, asked the Town Attorney to speak
on this proposal. i
PAUL DUSEK-Town Attorney-A short time ago the attorneys for the Fire Companies Paul
Pontiff approached me and indicated that the Fire Company was in the process of securing
financing for the construction of its new fire house and in the process of constructing it, in
the process of obtaining the financing they wanted to obtain interest or tax exempt interest
on the financing and in order to do so there are some rules and regulations of in the internal
revenue code which provide basically that the financing has to be approved of by the Town
Board of the Town of Queensbury after a public hearing and if that is accomplished then the
fire dept. in turn can obtain this tax exempt interest on its financing. Basically, I think the :.
code is trying to treat a fire company as it would a municipality as the Board Members are
familiar a municipality may and do get tax exempt interest on loan and various obligations
that they take out. The Fire Dept. is essentially trying to qualify for the same thing and the
IRS for what ever reasons has determine that it is important that they follow this procedure !'
to get that type of benefit. So the notice was placed in the paper basically indicating the
the amount of the financing the building to be financed etc. where it is to be located and this
hearing is for purposes of inviting members of the public to comment on that before the Town
Board makes it's decision to either approve or disapprove of the financial arrangement and
I. think finally it is important to note that even though the Town Board approves of this financing
it in no way obligates the Town Board or the Town ... on the financing and I drafted the
resolution for the Town Board to indicate this. The Town Board does not and it is not the intent
of the Town Board to create an obligation on the financing other than what it may have pursuant
to the terms of the contract it reached with the fire company where by it pays so much for
services rendered.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Asked if there was anyone here to speak for or against this proposal?
No one spoke...Hearing Closed 4:37 P.M.

PAUL DUSEK-Town Attorney-The purpose of this resolution is actually to two fold, as I know
the Board is aware in April of 1988 the Board passed a resolution which authorized the exchange
of the property that the Town Board with the Queensbury Central Volunteer Fire Co. the Town
Roard also made the resolution subject to permissive referendum and ultimately no permissive
-�ferendum was filed. In the process of preparing all of the paper work necessary for this
,ansaction a couple of things happened. 1. We found that the fire company desired to remove
— restriction in the deed which restriction provides that the property can only be used for Town
or general public purposes. Originally, as indicated in the resolution the deed had been signed
by the Supervisor containing this restriction but when the fire company went to the bank to
secure financing the bank raised objection to this type of restriction saying what if you fault
on your loan we cannot use the property for any other purpose, it has to be a public purpose
and we may not be able to sell this to any other person to save ourselves on the loan, so they
wanted it removed. Finch Pruyn Company was the Company that originally placed the
restriction
r
in9oo the deed, they agreed to withdraw the restriction and the fire company has asked that -
the Town Board if they also would agree to withdraw the restriction if they do that would
eliminate this problem. 2. The second part of this resolution concerns a review pursuant to
the State Environmental Review Act and that is being done at this time as a safety measure !
will it appear that it probably should have been done at the time of the other resolution
if you i pp '
was adopted so we thought just to make sure everything is done completely proper we will
do it at this point and so that is the two parts of this resolution.

LEE YORK, Senior Planner-The purpose of this grant is to upgrade existing housing which
would directly benefit low income individuals. Upgrade existing housing in a specific location
and increase the energy ratings of the building by putting in insulation, perhaps new siding,
insure safety and health factors, and electrical and structural improvements. The primary
objective is to provide decent housing in a suitable living environment and expanded economic
opportunities primarily for persons of low and moderate income housing. At this point in time
we are working with the Warren County Planning Department. The Town has sent out
approximately one hundred fifty surveys to an area in South Queensbury. We are receiving
returns currently. The Warren County Planning Department will access the returns, see if
in fact they qualify for the grant and if it would be in the best interest of the community to
go with an individual grant to HUD or a County grant to HUD. At this point, a Town public
hearing would be required if the Town went on an individual grant. If we went with the County,
then we would not be required to hold our own public hearing, as it would be a County wide
public hearing.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-We hope that within the next couple of days we'll have enough
information in terms of feed back from the County based on the survey that has been sent
out, to have a better idea of whether we should go on our own or go with the County.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Concerned that this might turn out to be an administrative night
mare for the Town.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-If we go with the County the County would administer the entire
operation.
