Glens Falls ,N.Y, 12801 Feb. 7, 1977 Mike Brandt Queensbury Town Supervisor Dear Mt. Brandt, I would like to express my very strong interest in becoming a member of the Queensbury Conservation Advisory Council. I believe that my background in engineering and my deep concern for environmental issues would make my appointment to the Council a very practical one. I think that the Advisory Council can be a valuable resource for the Town Board, and if I am appointed, I will provide a well balanced, non-emotional viewpoint that will accurately represent the residents of the Town of Queensbury. Thakk you for your consideration. Sincerely, /s/ cc. Mr. Olson Daniel Gealt Mr. Barber Mr. Robertson Mrs..

I hold a B. S. degree with a major in chemistry granted by the State University of New York, Empire State College and I am employed in a local industrial facility, GAF Corporation, Inorganic Chemicals Division, Glens Falls, where ' I have been serving in the position of Assistant Plant Chemist for nearly five years. As a resident of the Town of Queensbury I feel that our area must establish a resonable stand on environmental control which will not allow irreparable damage or depletion of natural resources nor, at the same time, greatly discourage enonomic development within the town. A properly balanced program may be essential to any future development of our area. It is toward the ultimate benefit of the town and its population that I would expend my efforts if appointed to the Council. Should you wish to grant me further consideration for one of the vacancies I would be glad to talk with you, if necessary, at you convenience. You may contact me at GAF, telephone 792-5808, during the day, 8 a.m. to 4: 30 p.m. or at home, telephone 793-7973, during the evening. A list of references can also be supplied upon your request.

I feel- very fortunate to be living in Queensbury, and I would like to serve the community in some was , to help it continue to be not only a good place to live but also a good place to do business . I have a sincere interest in the environment, but after almost 20 years in industry I also realize that orderly gooitth is necessary. With the increasing amount of environmental legislation being enacted, . I am sure the Town Board and the Planning Board will benefit from whatever assistance the Council can provide. My engineering and construction back- ground combined with my interest in conservation enable me to understand and appreciate both the technical and environmental aspects of the problems facing local governments and planning boards today.

Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes : ' -Mr. Olson, MR. Barber, Mrs. Walter, Mr. Robertson, Mr. Brandt Noes: None Absent: None REPORT Town Clerk February 24, 1977 Members of the Town Board Town of Queensbury I would like to give a report on my attendance at the Association of Towns session in New York City, February 20-23, 1977. The trip started with a very rough ride to the big city caused by the severe storm which passed through and ended frith a baggage mix up and an envelope which was left on the bus. All were resolved after a few phone calls. Monday morning we listened to addresses by Comptroller Arthur Levitt and Secretary of State Mario Cuomo. Both unknowingly delivered the same type of speech and that was the problems that towns axe having concerning Real property assessments . Classes were attended by Councilman Daniel Olson, Councilman Frances Walter, Building Inspector George Liapes and myself. On Monday I attended a joint session with Tax collectors on Public Assess to Records and Your Office, Office expenses. Records Preservation and Destruction was discussed later in the . morning, In the afternoon a discussion was bold on Open Meetings Law and the Clerk' s duties in processing Local Laws,Ordinances and Resolutions. On Tuesday, many clerk' s voiced their disapproval with ENCON 260 in many areas. For example, the poor carbon paper, the lack of enough guides to pass out to the hunters. Clerks asked that the department go back to one guide instead of four *hdividual guides . Communication between the Clerks and ENCON is very bad. The Media has been getting notices before the Clerks and in many cases the Clerks do not receive the changes at all. Free licenses were discussed in gegard to changing the age to 65 instead of 70 and and ENCON was informed by the Clerks that the public should be told how the funds from the licenses is u, .ed by the State. The Clerks wanted to go on record in opposition to ENCO.N .licensing Sporting Good Stores in their area as an agent to issue licenses. This was taking revenue from the towns and these days every quarter counts if it goes back in the General Fudd of the Town. Also on Tuesday morning new legislation was discussed pertaining to dog licensing. If passed, dogs will have only one license during their lifetime. After one year persons owning the dog will be sent a renewal application. This will eliminate enumeration but will take more policing by the Dog Warden—Centralized Dog Pounds were also discussed. Proposed fees were $2.50 for Male and spayed females and $7.50 for unspayed females. Changes in Kennel fees were also discussed. WHIle the classes were going on, a petition was being circulated in increase the license issuing,.fees from c.25 fto x.50. Th#i would increase the revenues to the -towns. Tuesday afternoon the Election Law and Records Management classes were held. I was unable to attend the annual business session in the morning on Wednesday concerning proposed resolutions .because of the important session I had on the Games of Chance Law, which my office will be dealing very much with. I would like to instruct the Town Board to ask the Town Attorney to do all he can to get the proper information to us on this law. New amendments to this law are being introduced and I will try to keep abreast of them along with the help of Mr. Brennan. As I see it, and how it was explained to me, no organization will be allowed to have Las Vegas Nights or any booths with wheels , (wheels that have symbols, colors or numbers) unless they have a permit from the town. To get this permit, the town must have had to provide for a mandatory referendum to be held at a Special or Generik Election, If that is passed by the voters, adopt an Ordinance or Local Law. I see this law as limiting some of the activities of two fire companies who ordinazily have bazaar type carnivals. I will do all in my power to get them information on this new law as soon as possible. The new taw aeatew .that the license fee for each opportunity will be $25. 00, the applicant can hold only 12 events per year, each event to be for a 14 hour duration. I am writing for a copy of the law from the Racing and Wagering Commission. Thank you for the opportunity to attend this session once more I found it very beneficial and interesting even though it looks like the Clerk' s work load will be increased once .more.
