WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury insures the Town's Workers' Compensation Risk
through the New York State Insurance Fund (New York State Public Entities Safety Group 497 -
Broker), and
WHEREAS, Safety Group 497 has advised the Town that the Town needs to reclassify its
designated executive officers to bring the Town into compliance with New York State General

municipal executive officers as defined under New York State Town Law, as currently the majority of

with pay, no matter how nominal), and
WHEREAS, to effectuate such needed change, the Town must file a form prescribed by the
Workers' Compensation Board entitled New York State Insurance Fund Form U-435, and
WHEREAS, such proposed Form U-435 has been presented at this meeting and the Town
Board wishes to authorize the Town Supervisor to execute such form and effectuate such needed
change,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby approves and authorizes the
reclassification of its designated executive officers to bring the Town into compliance with New York
State General Municipal Law as it relates to which Workers' Compensation Class Code should be used
for paid municipal executive officers as defined under New York State Town Law as delineated in the
preambles of this Resolution, and

RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor to
execute the New York State Insurance Fund Form U-435 form, as well as any other needed forms or
applications, and the Town Supervisor and/or Town Budget Officer to take any other actions
necessary to effectuate the terms of this Resolution.
