RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT WITH
COST CONTROL ASSOCIATES
RESOLUTION NO.: 416, 1992
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Nick Caimano
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mrs. Susan Goetz
WHEREAS, Cost Control Associates has proposed to examine
utility accounts, including gas, electric, water, sewer and
telephone for the Town of Queensbury for purposes of obtaining
refunds, rebates or reductions in amounts billed for those
services, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has also
considered a similar proposal at different proposed costs made by
Stamber & Associates, and has been advised that Lise Fuller,
formerly Assistant to the Town Supervisor, informed the Town
Attorney that she attempted to obtain one other proposal, but the
company was out of business, and
WHEREAS, after due consideration of the professional services
offered, and the proposed contract for the retention of the
services of Cost Control Associates,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board feels it would be appropriate to
take action to retain the services of Cost Control Associates, but
only under the terms set forth in the Contract proposed by Cost
Control Associates as modified by the Town Attorney, a copy of the
same being presented at this meeting, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
determines that any monies that would be due Cost Control
Associates under the proposed modified contract would be paid only
if and when refunds or credits on future bills from utility
companies are received by the Town and that currently budgeted
funds for utility accounts would, therefore, be sufficient to pay
both the amounts due the utility companies as well as any payments
that may be due Cost Control Associates as a result of savings it
achieves pursuant to contract, and therefore the Town Board
determines it to be appropriate and hereby amends the 1992 Town
Budget for the itemized funds and accounts attached hereto to
indicate that the appropriations are made for payments to the
appropriate utility companies or, in the alternative, to Cost
1
Control Associates, and hereby further determines that the original
total budgeted amount for the annexed funds and account line items
shall remain the same, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury
hereby approves of the modified contract with Cost Control
Associates as presented at this meeting and hereby authorizes and
directs the Supervisor to execute the same on behalf of the Town of
Queensbury, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that any amounts due under the contract shall
be paid from the appropriate 1992 amended town funds and accounts
as set forth herein.
Duly adopted this 3rd day of August, 1992, by the following
vote:
AYES : Mrs. Goetz, Mr. Caimano, Mr. Tucker, Mrs. Monahan,
Mr. Brandt
NOES : None
ABSENT: None
