Counsel Mathias-Stated his recommendation to the Town Board would be to set up a local law which sets forth a permit procedure for an outdoor recreation area such as the one that is occurring.

Councilman Montesi-Noted that Audit Control suggested to us last year that we establish an account for Paul that was a revenue generating account if we were to have Mr. Naylor doing these projects for us.

Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Mr. Kurosaka, Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Borgos Noes: Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan Absent: None Discussion before vote: Supervisor Borgos-Noted that Rist-Frost is currently working with the Town on a study for North Rueensbury Sewer District. Noted that the study would be running for the south eastern corner of the Town, Rueensbury Avenue, County Line Road, running from Lower Warren Street to Hicks Road. Councilman Montesi-Concerned with the initial strong negative response from the residents within this area when the original sewer district was first presented which included this particular County Line Road section. Also concerned that there are few homes within this district area and the burden that it may cause them. Suggested that if the County is having problems with sewage at the County Industrial Park and the County Airport let them tell us and work with us. Supervisor Borgos-I am trying to see if we can make this sewer cost effective, and pay for itself. Councilman Monahan-1 am disappointed to see that their solution is to run into the Glens Falls Sewer System. Supervisor Borgos-They were hired to look at innovative methods and they have done that. Councilman Monahan-We have no report from them, we are jumping the gun to assume that this system will go down Ridge Road. I would like to see the report. Councilman Potenza-We are discussing $2500.00 to see a preliminary report to see if it is feasible or not. Supervisor Borgos-I have seen the preliminary findings that are not ready for public view, it makes sense to take a look at this other side. They have looked at many alternatives. Councilman Monahan-The councilman from that area has not been advised of any of these meetings or reports. Supervisor Borgos-There has only been one meeting. Councilman Montesi-There is no way without Federal and State Funding that we can bring ten miles of pipe down Ridge Road with the sparse population and hope to get it into the Glens Falls Treatment Plant. There are six to seven hundred homes on Lake George and we are trying to service economically it is going to be an incredible cost. If they do not buy this on Lake George because it is too expensive what will happen to this section on County Line Road. Supervisor Borgos-You are right there is no funding available, before we go for funding and we have made contacts, I have been in touch with Albany and other places everybody wants to know what the proposed cost of the project. We cannot get a proposed cost for the project until you do a study of the alternatives and when we do the study of the alternatives we come up with proposed costs. We are still trying to get a handle on the proposed cost. -- Once the proposals are ready it goes to the public to get public input and people say yes it looks like a good project and we like the concept then we can proceed to get funding.We all know that this will not proceed without funding, we cannot request funding until we know how much to request. Mrs. Monahan I am sorry if I offended you by not inviting you to the meeting we will try to meet at your conveyance in the future. Councilman Monahan-I do represent my people and I like to be able to report to them. Wilson, in the matter of voting for sewer district that would include the County Line Road, does each company within the IDA boundary get a vote, does Warren County get another 2ti4 and the IDA get the other vote how would those votes be counted in case of a referendum? Town Counsel-I will check what the pilot agreement said in the IDA, If it does not state voting in the agreement the Warren Washington Co. IDA would have one vote... Councilman Monahan-I have the concern that the property owners would have to bear an awful burden that the IDA would have enough votes within their boundaries that they could thwart the will of a lot of property owners. Councilman Montesi-The County has a sewer treatment plant on site in the IDA development obviously it is starting to get taxed so that if they had sewers it would alleviate some problems in the future. There may be some covenant in their deeds that says that the County IDA must provide sewers. Councilman Potenza-Aren't we putting the cart before the horse, we do not know what —° this is going to cost and I thought that is what this resolution is about. Councilman Monahan-I do not think it is only that, if we pass this and put this to where we maybe are jeopardizing our residents and they are having to pay so many taxes... Supervisor Borgos-The other side of the coin is that perhaps the Industrial Park will provide enough income to make the sewer possible for those people who could not otherwise do it, there is no way to find out until we do the study. VOTE CALLED FOR Mr. Kurosaka passed on the first round...voted immediately after Supervisor voted... Councilman Monahan-I have a question, I am not sure that a Councilman can vote out of order and I think we need legal research on that. Supervisor Borgos-I believe that we set the voting order any way we like to. Asked if Council had an answer of the voting procedure...(noted none) ...As Chairman of the meeting I will rule that if there is no answer to the contrary the motion has succeeded, a three to two vote.
