1.0 PUBLIC HEARING
Public Hearing on Obtaining Citizen Input for 2017 Applications to New York State Department
of Homes and Community Renewal Community Planning Grant Program
Notice Publication Date: June 9, 2017
7:45 P.M.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH opened public hearing.
JENNIFER SWITZER, 40 Brickoven Road-You are applying for fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00),
do you have an estimated cost what it would be for the consultant to come in? So in other words,
above and beyond that fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), the Town has a five percent interest that
they have to pay, what would be the cost above and beyond that?
STUART BAKER, SENIOR PLANNER-The Town's sole cost would be no more, would be five
percent (5%) of the total project cost and the fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), we would be
applying for up to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00). I will be getting estimates from two (2)perhaps
three (3) consulting firms on what the cost could be for doing an affordable housing strategy in a
similar form then what the 2003 plan was and I'll use those estimates as the basis for the actual amount
we apply for. I don't have those estimates at this point.
MS. SWITZER-So at this point you don't think it will be over and above?
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-19-2017, MTG 420 234
MR. BAKER, SENIOR PLANNER-No, I wouldn't expect the total project cost to exceed fifty
thousand dollars ($50,000.00). Back in 2003 the cost for doing the affordable housing strategy was
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00). If you carry that forward by the rate of inflation, that
brings us up to about I think thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000.00). I am not certain that consulting
fees have been tracking the rate of inflation but I just put that out there as just one factor. I would
expect that the estimates would be come in below fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), perhaps
substantially so.
MS. SWITZER-Thank you.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Thank you. Anybody else have any questions? Yes George.
GEORGE WINTERS-You hire a consultant to do this or you do it?
MR. BAKER, SENIOR PLANNER-We would hire a consultant to do it.
MR. WINTERS-Like you say, that's not above the fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00)?
MR. BAKER, SENIOR PLANNER-That would be included and covered by the grant if we're awarded
it.
MR. WINTERS-Cause you mention Davidsons and I followed that a little bit and he said he didn't use
the sixty thousand (60,000) so the fifty thousand (50,000) went back to the Town of Queensbury I am
assuming.
MR. BAKER, SENIOR PLANNER-That's not correct at all. The total grant was sixty thousand
dollars ($60,000.00) and we used it all.
MR. WINTERS-But Davidson didn't use it, he gave it back to the Town and then you used it for other
things.
MR. BAKER, SENIOR PLANNER-That's not correct, Davidson's used it to purchase a labeling
equipment for their canning line.
MR. WINTERS-Because he was here and said they didn't use it, they gave it back to the Town, it was
in the papers and it was fifty thousand (50,000). I went to a couple of meetings on that and I think
there was one, I don't know if it was in John's office, somewhere or maybe it was up to Warren
County and I followed that a little bit because I was quite interested in it because I figured he laid off
or done away with six (6)jobs in the city then he's coming up here and I think he said he was going to
hire six (6) and a guy came here and I don't, I can't remember who he was but he said he hired six (6)
people. I don't think that turned our money over like it should have.
MR. BAKER, SENIOR PLANNER-Actually, well the funds were used for the stated purpose of
supporting the equipment line there and we also documented that they were able to hire three (3)
people from low to moderate income households as part of that grant program. That grant was closed
out I believe in early 2016 and has been audited by New York State so it was indeed used for its proper
purposes.
MR. WINTERS-The only thing I got to say too along the same lines is, the house grants, you take
these low income and help them, you know, maybe put a roof on or something, and there's a lot of that
around the town and people need and I think that's a great thing. I don't see where any of that money
is wasted but when you come to a manufacturer and stuff like that, I think a lot of our money is being
wasted. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Thank you George. Anybody else have questions, comments on this
topic? Alright, seeing none, I close the public hearing
