IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM - CAPITAL PROJECT FUND #209
RESOLUTION NO.: 124, 2016
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Doug Irish
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. William VanNess
WHEREAS, in 2014 the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District
(WCSWCD) was awarded a stormwater improvement grant funded by the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) through its Round 11 Water Quality
Improvement Program, and
WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury was included in WCSWCD's grant application as a
prospective partner with the following Projects identified for funding:
• Assembly Point Knox intersection- bioretention or porous pavers need test pits ($3,000);
• Assembly Point Sunset intersection- two drywells ($8,000);
• Pickle Hill Tributary- three drywells ($12,000);
• Lockhart south project- Large drainage in combo with Bay Road- one drywell ($4,000);
• Lockhart north project drywells, turnouts- one drywell, check dams, stable turnouts
($4,000);
• Chestnut Road Glen Lake- one drywell and paved swale ($4,000); and
WHEREAS, the dollars attached to each Project were estimates, as the Town has the
ability to spend and be reimbursed up to and including $39,000 for these improvements and the
eligible reimbursable expenses would include supplies and materials, and
WHEREAS, NYSDEC will withhold 10% of the grant expenditures until the grant is
closed out, and if the Town has vouchered for $39,000 in supplies and materials, the Town would
receive $35,100 until the grant closeout and the remaining $3,900 would then be paid, and
WHEREAS, WCSWCD submits reports and reimbursement request quarterly, and
NYSDEC has generally been providing reimbursement within 8 weeks so that once WCSWCD
receives payment, it disburses the Town's eligible expenses (less the 10%) within 30 days and
then the remaining funds at grant closeout, and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 272,2015, the Queensbury Town Board accepted
$39,000 in such grant funds, and
WHEREAS, the Town Highway Department has not yet completed these projects;
however, the effective date of the grant is actually January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017
and therefore the Town Board wishes to establish a Capital Project for such Projects in the total
amount of$39,000 rather than use its General Fund as the budgets for expenses and revenues are
only for budget year 2015,
WHEREAS, the Town Board needs to authorize a temporary loan from the General Fund in
the amount of$39,000 to Capital Project Fund#209 that will be paid back when the Town receives its
funds from the WCSWCD, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with New York State General Municipal Law §9-A, the Town
Board is authorized to temporarily advance moneys held in any fund to any other fund,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the
establishment of Stormwater Improvement Grant Program Capital Project Fund #209 which Fund
will establish funding for expenses associated with the Project as set forth in the preambles of this
Resolution, and
BE IT FURTHER,
2
RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Town Budget Officer to
temporarily $39,000 from the General Fund #001 to Capital Project Fund #209 as the Town will
have to spend the money before it may be reimbursed from WCSWCD as previously set forth in
Resolution No.: 272,2015, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Budget Officer to
amend the 2016 General Fund #001 and Capital Project Fund #209 as needed, keep suitable records
and arrange for the repayment of the temporary loan as soon as available, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Budget
Officer to amend the 2016 Town Budget, make any adjustments, budget amendments, transfers or
prepare any documentation necessary to establish appropriations and estimated revenues as is
deemed necessary, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs Town Supervisor and/or
Town Budget Officer take any and all action necessary to effectuate all terms of this Resolution.
