RESOLUTION NO. 249, 2007
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. John Strough WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board duly established the Town of Queensbury
Consolidated Water District (the "District") in accordance with New York Town Law, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to improve the District’s water transmission facilities
by installing a new water main along a new Connector Road to be constructed between Luzerne
Road and Main Street in the Town of Queensbury, which new water main will provide water
service, fire protection and a redundant connection between the two existing 12” water lines on
Main Street and Luzerne Road, all in accordance with Town Law Section 202-b, and
WHEREAS, Barton & Loguidice, P.C., professional engineers, have prepared a Map and
Plan concerning such proposed improvements together with an estimate of the cost of such
improvements, and
WHEREAS, the Map and Plan was duly filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's Office and
made available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, although the Town of Queensbury is a town partially within the Adirondack
Park, the District does not contain State lands assessed at more than thirty percent (30%) of the
total taxable assessed valuation of the District, so permission of the State Comptroller to the
proposed expenditure is not required under Town Law §202-b(5),
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that:
1. The proposed improvements are:
(a)installation of approximately 1800 linear feet of new 8-inch ductile iron water
main along the new Connector Road; and
(b)installation of water valves at the connections to the existing water main.
(c)installation of hydrants at approximately 800-foot intervals along the
transmission mains.
2. The maximum amount proposed to be expended for such improvements is
$121,200.
3. The cost of the improvements will be paid from the current funds in the 2007
operating budget of the District; therefore, the annual cost of the District for debt service and
operation and maintenance costs to the typical property and the typical one- or two-family home
will not be increased.
4. The proposed improvements shall be constructed and installed as specifically
delineated in the Map and Plan and in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's
specifications, ordinances or local laws, and any State laws or regulations, and in accordance with
approved plans and specifications and under competent engineering supervision.
5. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
th
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, June 4, 2007 to hear all persons
interested in the improvement of the District facilities described above and to take such other and
further action as may be required or authorized by law.
6. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to duly
publish and post this Order not less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days before the
