BESWICx_ _0tornQy O-La Qolvin Building Glens Falls , N.Y.. March ter, 1956 Mr. N. Russell Harr-is Supervisor Star Ht ' Glens .ftlls, N.Y. ' Re: Town Mau , - Dear Sir: You have indicated that your town board is considering the con- struction. of a town hall on premises now owned by the Town of Queens. bury., with a portion of the cast to be paid from the Capital Reserve Fund established by your torn board, and the balance to be financed by -the r issuance: and sale of serial bonds. There are two sections of the Town Law which apply to the'con- struction of a tear hall. They old section is Section 81 which providers that a town, board may upon its own motion and shall upon a petition cause to be submitted to the qualified voters of a town the proposition to construct a town hall. There is a later section, and particularly subdivision 3 of Section:. 220,, which also provides that upon the adoption of the proposition, sub- ject to permissive referendum, the town board may purchase, lease or con- struct a town hall, acquire necessary lands therefor, and equip and furnish 'such building for such purpose-. However, Sectio& 35.00, subdivision. 5:, of the Local Finance Law, provides that the bond resolution adopted by the finance board of a town of the second class shall be subject to mandatory referendum,. An opinion by they State Comptroller report in 4 Qpin. State Comp- troller 149, holds that the bond resolution adopted by the town board of a town of the second class -for the purpose of financing the construction. of a town hall is subject to mandatory referendum if the bonds proposed maturity is more than five years. It thus appears that under Section 220 of the Tawn Law your town board can adept a resolution -to .construct a town hall on property you now owns by adopting ,a resolution to that effect subject to permissive refer- endum, and then, if no petition were filed against it, the resolution would become effective thirty days from date. However, since you will have to submit your bond resolution to a. special election, and particularly since you propose to use funds accumulated in the Capital Reserve Find, I would recommend that at your special election either that two separate . propositions be submitted an one ballot, or, if the bonding attorneys ap- prove, that the two propositions be combined. It seems to me that your first step is to complete your plans to a poiffit where you can establish a fairly accurate figure of the cost of con- structi anal detenaine• how such of the cost is to be paid out of the Capital Reserve Fuel, and the amount of your bond issue. They voters of the Tpwm pf Queensbury are certainly entitled to know exactILT what you propose. to do, and I would suggest that before you fix a date for a special election you have your plans completed and be in a position to tell the voters the whole story. As I understand- it, you proposer to use a portion of the Pine View Cemetery property as a site for your new town hall and I believe the Cem- atery Commissioners have made a determination that the site you propose to use along Route 3 is neither usable for nor required for burial purposes. However, since this land was conveyed to the town for cemetery purposes, L think the use of the land for another purpose. should be approved by the 'voters in a proposition.. i 150 Section 82 of the Town Law provides that a town board shall adopt a resolution at least twenty days before the special town election designating the hours of opening and closing of polls and the place or places of holding the election and setting forth all propositions to be voted on. The hours mist tie -at east six between eight in the morning and eight in the evening. The Town Clerk has to give notice at east ten days in advance of the special election by one publication and five postings. It is not necessary to have a polling place in.each election dis- trict in the town, and your town beard may designate just one place. The town board acts as inspectors of election and have to file in the - I office of the town clerk after the election a certificate under Sec- tion 83 which will show the total votes cast, votes cast for the - proposition, the beach person wh�mavatedthe propositions and the noes and a ` Section 84 of the Town Law provides the qualifications of vot- ers. A_voter must be a legal resident and qualified voter of the town, -and in addition must be the owner of real property in the town which was assessed on the last competed assessment roll. Thus a person living in Glens Falls, Schenectady, or any other place, is not en - titled to vote even though he may own property. vote eve eitherta corporation nor an officer of a corporation may corporation awns real property in the town. Where real property is ocaned jointly by husband and wife, or by two -or more persons, all of them nay vote if they are otherwise qualified. it is not necessary that the name of the voter appear on the last assessment roll but the property which he owns must have been assessed on the l&st asse§sment roll even though it was assessed to some one else. Also,, a purchaser under a contract who is in possession of real property in the town, is entitled to vote even though the property is assessed to the record owner-. S- shall be glad to draft the proposition as soon as you are able to give sae the complete information. Yours very truly, ,Ls/ Albert E. Bjswick The Supervisor read. �IESWICK a letter as follows: . ows: ALBERT E. Attorney at Law Colvin Building Glens- Falls,. N.Y• March 19s, 1956 Mr. H.
