Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Mr. O1son, * Mr. Barber, Mr. Robillard, Mr. Streeter, Mr. Austin Noes : None Absent: None Letter January 16, 1974 Mr. John Austin, Supervisor Town of Queensbury Queensbury Town Office Building Bay at Haviland Road, R.D.#1 Glens Falls, N.Y. 12801 Dear Mr. Austin: May I refer to your letter of December 6, 1973 concerning the availability of State aid for weed control programs. To my knowledge there are no programs for cost sharing projects of this type. However, the Town Attorney may want to explore the use of tax monies fvom: a water or lake district if Glen Lake is part of a potable water supply. Because of the number of lakes and the frequently high algal weed problems within the State of New York, this Department can' t become financially involved with weed and algae control projects. We can on unique occasions direct our aquatic weed control specialist to visit the Lake and make some general recommendations. However, the optimum time for such a visit, late spring, would preclude any benefit from being accrued during this year. Respectfully yours , /s/ John J.

Dear John, In order that I be alle to inform my students well in advance, I need to know the date for the Memorial Day Parade for the town. Thahks, /s/ John Boor an - eferred to Town Clerk. . . Letter January 23, 1974 Mr. John Austin Supervisor, Town of Queensbury Bay Road Glens Falls , New York 12801 Dear John: It was with great pleasure that the members of this fire company noted that there is some more possible commercial expansion in the Town of Queensbury. As you can guess, --� we are referring to the possibility that Pyramid Mall Corporation will build a new facility in this area. It is the opinion of this fire company that it would be advantageous for the Town Board to require all future commercial developments in the Town of Queensbury to conform to existing and future parking ordinances before approval is given to their construction plans. This would certainly help all of the fire companies provide better fire protection to the stores as you know illegally parked cars can be a fantastic hindrance to the fire trucks gaining access co the building. Another thought would be that we would certainly appreciate knowing about all commercial applications for building permits in our boundaries so that, if necessary, we could have a representative at the proper meetings to express our opinions as regards the fire hazards and/or safety suggestions necessary to provide good fire protection. If you have any comments concerning these subjects, John, I would certainly appreciate hearing them. Sincerely yours, /s/ K.W. Parker President KWP :mmh Councilman Streeter and Supervisor Austin will confer to set policy on above letter. . . -The Police Activity report for the month of December 1973 was received. -Supervisor Austin noted a letter from John Klum thanking the Town for its cooperation in the hearings that were held at the Town Office Building. . .
