neighborhoods. Office and residential facilities should be sited and built to demonstrate
compatibility with adjoining uses and to minimize any negative impacts on adjoining land uses. It is

4.0CLOSING REMARKS
Councilman Tim Brewer-First of all I would like to thank the Seniors for organizing the
food and the refreshments here this morning, they do a great job every year. Thank you
the audience for coming here on a holiday morning when you certainly could be home
relaxing or enjoying your day with your family. I just wanted to wish everybody the best
of luck on the Town Board and everyone a healthy, and Happy New Year.
Councilman John Strough-I just want to thank everybody for coming and I too wish you
a Happy New Year. I think the Town Board will have a happy two New Years. I think
the two years forthcoming will be very fruitful. Again, Thank You.
Councilman Roger Boor-I would reiterate what the two previous Councilmen have said.
I think this Board is particularly suited to deal with the problems and the issues and the
good things that we deal with and I think we will do a good job. You the public will
always have a ear and we will serve you as judiciously as we can and I hope you all a
healthy, happy New Year.
Councilman Richard Sanford-I just want to thank the people for voting for me. I think
probably everyone on this Board shares that feeling as well, but it took a team to get
elected, I learned a lot when I ran and I particularly want to thank my wife Sally who
worked very hard on my campaign as well as a whole bunch of other people but I do not
want to have this sound like a awards acceptance. But, I thank everybody who was
involved and I am looking forward to working very hard for you. Thanks very much.
Supervisor Stec-Richard I would like to on behalf of the Town Board welcome you to the
Town Board, congratulate you publicly, again, you are filling shoes that have been there
for a long time, he was the longest ten year guy, Ted Turner, and he is not here today, but
350
ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-01-2006 MTG.#1
just to put his ten year in perspective a little bit and not to take away at all from the
moment for you, but nineteen years as a Zoning Board Member and almost ten years as a
Town Board Member, but certainly you bring a skill set to the Town Board that will
definitely be to our advantage. I welcome you and congratulate you. I have just a couple
of prepared remarks this is like the one opportunity a year that it is almost the State of the
Town kind of thing. I do also want to also thank everyone for coming, I want to thank in
particular my lovely wife for putting up with everything that goes with the job and we try
to do, and our new son he doesn’t really understand it yet but in the next couple of years
he will realize that some nights dad is not around, and my family my mom and by dad.
Thank you all for attending our organizational meeting today, I hope that everyone’s
holiday season is going well and that you and your families are having a joyous one.
2005 saw many positive things occur in the Town and we hope to continue this
momentum into 2006. Our economy continues to prosper with the additional of new
business activities that have bolstered the tax base and improved our quality of life. The
Queensbury area continues to score high on measures of economic health, recreational
opportunities, education, public safety and overall desirability. This is due in part to the
commitment of the Town and County Government as well as those numerous non profit
organizations like our volunteer Fire and EMS companies, Queensbury Economic
Development Corporation, Warren County Economic Development and healthy generous
private sector. The Town adopted a 2006 budget that saw a three percent increase in
general fund appropriation, much of this increase was due to increased State Retirement
Costs as well as rising employee benefits and energy costs. However when coupled with
the budget cuts of last year the 2006 general fund budget remains less than the adopted
2004 general fund budget. 2006 will also mark the fifth consecutive year that the Town
of Queensbury has not collected a general town tax. Additionally taxpayers will receive
a two and a half million dollar rebate as a credit toward their County Tax bills due later
this month. This represents approximately eighty nine cents per thousand dollars of
assessed value. By aggressively cutting excess spending and finding alternative revenue
sources we have been able to significantly reduce the property tax burden for taxpayers.
These rebates have totaled nearly four million dollars over the past three years. I fully
intend, with the Boards help, to continue these rebate initiatives as long as possible. In
2006 the Town Board will have several opportunities to make further inroads in saving
our constituents money. Early this year we will finalize the 2006 Fire and EMS Budgets,
there are several opportunities to cut costs without impacting the quality of these services
continuous bench marking of these budgets and similar municipalities budgets is critical.
The consolidation of companies and or the creation of independent fire districts should be
considered. An additional opportunity exists for the Town to utilize its purchasing power
to negotiate low solid waste collection rate for the residential property owners. The State
Comptrollers Office has issued a report that states that Queensbury Residents could
collectively save approximately one million dollars per year if the Town pursues this
prospect. In the past two months I have had the privilege of meeting several times with
Mayor Akins of Glens Falls and we both agree there are many opportunities for us to
work together to build off our communities strengths. We together with Warren County
Supervisors will be in close communication to identify and act upon these items. In the
past two years the Town undertook the initiative to continue to provide the best possible
planning for our community. The need to balance growth our economic health and
quality of life is paramount and is complicated. Queensbury is the only Town in Warren
County that has its own planning department. In the past two years we have added
professional staff to increase our effort, an effort that I will add, that has given the Town
of Queensbury regional reputationone of the most progressive and through in the area of
community planning and code enforcement. To continue the success two years ago in
addition to new staff we completed the towns build out study, co-sponsored with the
Queensbury School District. This report which states that the Town has achieved a
healthy moderate growth level will be a useful tool as we move forward. We also created
the Planning Ordinance Review Committee or PORC which is currently progressing with
consulting firm Saratoga Associates to produce an update to the Towns 1998
Comprehensive Land Use Plan by the end of this summer. I will add that there will be
numerous meetings, there have been several meetings already there will be numerous
more in 2006, one of the concerns, I know I speak for the entire Board that we have that
attendance by the public has been spotty to put it best and we would certainly hope to get
the word out that we would like to make sure that as many people of the public can
participate in this process. We want it to be our plan, not our plan. For all the Town’s
351
ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-01-2006 MTG.#1
employees, I want thank each and every one of you for your efforts as professionals
working for our Town. The fact that your efforts more than anything else are what makes
the Town Board successful are not lost on me. We appreciate your devotion and
dedication. I believe that the last two years have been exceptionally successful and
productive, we have served our residents well tackling the tough issues any New York
State Town faces with confidence and competence. We improve the quality and level of
services we provide while simultaneously reducing costs to our taxpayers. You should
all be very proud of this great accomplishments since Queensbury is the exception to the
rule and the envy of most any other Town in the State. The very challenges we all
witness first hand this past year, rising housing costs, and development pressures prove
that the demand to live and raise a family in a Town like Queensbury is tremendous.
With all your help in 2006 we will continue to manage these issues as effectively as we
have in the past two years. For everyone here this morning and to all Town Residents,
thank you for the opportunity to serve you, providing through efficient, friendly customer
service to you our public and our customers is the highest priority to me. Your feed back
is a critical part of the process, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of your
Councilmen or Town Staff with any questions, concerns or suggestions. We will be as
responsive as we possibly can be. I encourage your participation in Town Government
and I also encourage you to visit our Town Web Site www.queensbury.net . There is a
wealth of information available at our site including meeting agendas, and minutes. We
are proud to be the only area municipality to televise our meetings. I would like to thank
Glens Falls National Bank and TV8 for making that possible. We are proud of the degree
of openness in which we operate we encourage you all to take advantage of this
exceptional level of availability and openness and we encourage your feedback. I will
close in saying again God Bless you and your families and best wishes for a very, very
happy New Year everybody. Thank you.
