Representatives from North Queensbury Fire Dept., Queensbury Central Fire Dept., West Glens Falls Fire

Supervisor Brandt -Opened the Meeting
announced that the West Glens Falls Emergency Squad presented the Town with a check for $3,370.00 as
the result of savings on insurance...
Discussion held regarding proposed increase for the North Queensbury Fire Dept. It has been suggested
that the local fire departments could help out No. Qsby. by giving back some of their funds from their
contacts... Representative from No. Qsby. reviewed their proposed new fire house building, proposed cost,
a million four, 12-14 thousand square feet ofbuilding...re: financing, need a commitment from the Town
and would like to have a short term note... (15 years)... would like to sell existing building for around $200-
250,000, use that to re-write the note or apply it to the principal...Noted the $160,000 for the property has
been paid...Queensbury Central, Bay Ridge and So. Queensbury noted that they all have mortgages due and
will need the funds that the Town has contracted to them...they all agreed that 1993 was tight but 1994 they
could probably take a hit because their debt service would be lighter...West Glens Falls noted that their next
mortgage would be less than the fifty thousand that was budgeted so they would be able to provide $10,000
to No. Qsby...Supervisor Brandt-If West Glens Falls is going to help we have to factor that in the future,
we cannot just say give us back $10,000 and we forgot you, we have to play fair ball with everybody, we
are saying $50,000 more on the No. Qsby. Contract this year and then the $10,000 additional maybe that
can get you going and we can pick it up next year, maybe at that point we can replace the $10,000 back to
W.G.F. ...1 think what we have all said here is that next year the general contracts can come down enough
to give them what they need and we have said we will put in 50 and West Glens Falls said that they can
help out with 10 we are saying that we will respect that next year in working with West Glens Falls and I
think we have room here to work it out and if that is understandable to everybody and we put that in the
minutes then we can walk out of here and say we have got a deal and we all are working together to solve
the problem and not have any in fighting between any ofus....Question was raised if the Fire Companies
could get all their debt services together... Supervisor Brandt-noted that the Town cannot take them
on...noted that it would have to be between the companies...
Discussion ended...
RESOLUTIONS
Supervisor Brandt-I offer a resolution to adopt the budget as we finalized it last night...What we basically
did last night, we took the applied fund balance and we raised it, it came to exactly $9,500 more that we
took out of applied fund balance...
that is what we agreed to last night.
