TOWN BOARD MEMBERS Mrs. Frances Walter-Chairman Mr. George Kurosaka-Councilman Mr. Stephen Borgos-Councilman Mr. Ronald Montesi -Councilman Mrs. Betty Monahan -Councilman TOWN COUNSEL-Mr. Wilson Mathias PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY ' SUPERVISOR FRANCES WALTER PRESS:Glens Falls Post Star PUBLIC OFFICIALS-Paul Naylor, Rick Missita, Ralph VanDusen OPEN FORUM: 7:45 P.M. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Announced that this was an organizational meeting for 1987. We have some old business regarding the closing of the Luzerne Road and a group of residents from Luzerne Mountain Road are here to speak to Mr. Naylor. TOM BARROWMAN-Cormus Road, Mr. Naylor did respond to our comments in the newspaper so what I would like to do at this time is clear up a couple of points with Mr. Naylor...asked why the road was kept open past the Mahar house? PAUL NAYLOR-We turn around there and this is a town road it has to be plowed. TOM BARROWMAN-I found out from the residents who live up there that Mr. Naylor does plow the road up to their house and on by there. The amount that he plows on by there is 6/10's of a mile, a 1.2 mile round trip back to the Mahar house. He used to turn around at the Mahar's house and when I checked with Bill Tucker who takes care of the Keenan Reservoir and he gets in to check the reservoir by snow shoe or snow mobile. I went up there and checked and I dare say that on certain occasions that road is kept up much better then what the road is that we drive on. All the items we complained about at the last meeting were conveniently taken care of this afternoon, all except the stop sign at West Mountain Road. I would like to report the day after the storm, a man who has a frontwheel drive got stuck at noon. Mr. Naylor said he would evaluate the situation this year and if he is at all concerned with what our feelings are, then the facts we have laid out speak for themselves. EETTY POTTER-Luzerne Mountain Road-The last two snow storms I made three trys at trying to get home, the only way I made it home was because a Sheriffs car got stuck in a ditch and the Town of Queensbury sent a pickup truck to get him out and because the pickup made a path I made it home. I had to leave my car on the road so I could shovel out my driveway and the next day the Town of Queensbury plowed it into the grill of my car. I had to shovel snow out of the grill. At 4 o'clock in the morning I got a call from the sheriff's Department to move a truck, which belonged to my daughter's boyfriend. He got up and moved it because they said it was hampering snow removal, but when I went out the next day to plow my driveway that truck had not been back because the plow went around his truck and after I paid $20.00 to have my driveway plowed, some pickup had taken that snow from the road and placed it in front of my driveway. This year is not any better because Mr. Naylor closed the road. JANICE HENKE-Mountain Road- The statement made in the newspaper the last time we had a meeting, was the reason why there was not adequate plowing and not a turn around was because Mike's gate which had always been left open and this one time it was closed and there was no room to turn around. That gate has always been closed in the winter and a call to Mr. Brandt house confirmed this. The ice on the curve was the cause of an accident after the last storm when a car hit that piece of ice and skidded across the road hitting a road sign. Everybody down the mountain had a bare road we were still worrying about getting through the slush. i Usually the sand and salt is spread on the downhill lane not on the uphill, so it is very difficult for an ordinary car to come up the mountain. The Conservation Officer who lives on Cormus Road is the Supervisor for this entire area and he is the one who is called when there is a mill fire or explosion with hazardous material involvement, or a leak from a hazardous hauler on the Northway and the Northway has to be closed. His response time is greatly increased due to the fact that he cannot go.straight down the Luzerne Road anymore and if his response time is increased as it has been done after one snow storm this winter, and he cannot get out, 2 he had to call a non-supervisory conservation officer,to the oil spill on the Northway. I want this on record so that the community will be aware that there may well be increased liability and increased danger to residents in this area because he is not able to get out on occasions when the road is bad to close off a special area or sometimes to tell the local fire people not to spray down a hazardous material because if you do that it will explode. TOM BARROWMAN-I wanted Mr. Naylor to hear directly how we feel the road is being plowed this year because he did make in a public statement that he was giving this a trial run and if the residents weren't satisfied with it then he would base his decision on that and re-open it...but it seems it came out in the paper that the only one Mr. Naylor is talking to on this decision is he himself and what he feels. If this is the case, I would like to have him respond--� , and also if this is the case then we would like to have the Board to tell us what procedures are involved to get our assessments changed because we have a decrease in our services and our value is decreased. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Mr. Naylor has made some progress, I did drive the road today twice and did not have a problem. TOM BARROWMAN-We do feel bad after coming here for several meetings, only to have several situations corrected the day of the meeting. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Said the Town Board passed a Resolution to put the sign up and it will take a Resolution to take it down. TOM BARROWMAN-If he is going to wait till spring to make his decision then we are going to talk, retroactive in our assessments. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Former Chairman of Assessment Committee, grievance day is now May 2nd and there is no harm in going to the assessor ahead of time to talk to him about the situation, to see if he agree with you that the land in that area is worth less now, then before this happened. Also said that perhaps a change could be made before you get your new tax notice. Noted that the Sole Assessor has the right to make a determination one way or the other and if you don't like that then go to grievance day, and if you don't like their decision then you can follow a new Quasi Judicial procedure which is rather inexpensive. I spoke with Mr. Naylor before the meeting regarding the fact that at the end of Cormus Road there is a barricade or gate and that gate was not always there, when I lived on the Mountain there was no gate there and the Town for many years plowed and maintained the road past that gate behind what is know as the Harrington Farm. That gate came in sometime around 1963 but who put it there, I don't know, noted that he has a photograph showing the gate open. Having 1�0� lived up there, I like the road open, yes it is slippery, and yes, I have slid off but the fact that eventually it did get cleared was very convenient so I would like to see the road re-opened. Maybe the road will have to have some rebuilding done and noted that now the road is serving the heavy traffic from Luzerne to Glens Falls, perhaps we could ask the county to get involved. SUPERVISOR WALTER-You have some options on how to go and Mr. Naylor said give it this year and he will make an assessment as to whether it will be closed next year or not. .... (OLD BUSINESS BOARD OF HEALTH).. Mr. Bonnabeaux called today to say he has checked the deed between his property and the road and the property was granted a right a way through the deed to a Mrs. Beers and Mrs. Zverblis is the daughter of Mrs. Beers and said she will give him permission to put the drainage field in the right of way, we are waiting for something in writing regarding this.

Walter Supervisor 13 SUPERVISOR. WALTER-We have just been through one year under the Ward System and suprisingly enough we all survived. It was a busy year in 1986, we constructed and opened the Gurney Lane Swimming Pool, record numbers in which Queensbury residents participated in recreation programs. We also acquired more acres of park land including the 28 gift acresfrom the County of Warren. We created our Local Development Corporation and we made the purchase of our Industrial Park. With the approval of the State Comptroller, the Towns first large sewer district, construction began in September. We also had a part in creating a new Department in our Town that of Planning and we staffed it. After that Planning Department was formed it was followed by a lot of amendments, regulations, ordinances and we are looking to tightening up on some building. Another first for Queensbury was the sale of water to another municipality j and at that same time in the Water Department we had a substantial increase in our own customers and we also constructed a storage tank of two million gallons for reserve supplies while the fellows added additional pipe lines. Nighteen miles of paving plus drainage work was done by our Highway Department. We saw the first computerized budget in the Town and I would say that these are the highlights. Referring to the Town Board noted that we have accomplished a lot in your first year and I can honestly say we are still within our budget and have ended the year in black. For 1987 although it is the beginning a new year but it is really a continuation of our two year terms and I think all of us are more then enthusiastic about getting out to bid on an expansion of the Town Office Building. We are in need of new office and storage space. The design is now being undertaken by Saratoga Associates and we hope by September 1st, to see us all organized in our own new work space and less crowded conditions at the Town Office Building. We are looking forward to some professional design work on two large tracks of land, Ridge Road and Gurney Lane Parks and hopefully we can phase construction of those parks into both active and passive facilities for town residents. We will look for a change in the Lake George Law, although we do not have too much control over that, hopefully the State Legislature will work on that and that will enable us to begin engineering work for sewering of North Queensbury. We have told our new Town Planner one of his tasks, is going to be a thorough review of the Town's zoning and we hope that he will come back to us with an early report in the spring and through that we will probably have some additional amendments and ordinances. We will look at, and deal with, the tremendous growth in the town and also the environment, full scale construction of sewer district with laterals and the pumping station and we are hopeful that the first customers by the end of the year will be able to hook into the Glens Falls sewage treatment plant. We are going to find out about the outcome of our two and one half year assessment re-evaluation project and that is one, we know, will make the tax burden a fair one to all the town members in the Town of Queensbury. We are also looking to building an activity center for senior citizens and other homeless groups that have been turned away because of lack of space in the Town Office Building. We can look to further progress with our computer as the Water Department is going to utility billing that they will be able to do in their department. I think that we will make the same commitment at the beginning of the year 1986 and in 1987 to continue to improve on municipal service and also to add some recreation opportunities in the town. I think that this year you might want to get out your appointment calendars because we have a lot of meetings and a lot of work ahead of us, 1987 should show a great deal of accomplishment. That is my annual organizational meeting statement. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-You hit on almost everything I took pride in being a part of as being a part of this Board. Things that we did very early on were difficult decisions as a new Board member, we all agreed but it was a tough move to go through the ordinances. The Trailer Park Ordinance, and establishing zones, and I think we did something for the betterment of our community. I think the fees we established for the recreation, $250.00 per lot, was the right decision. We have had Thirty-three million dollars worth of building permits issued this year and that shows the kind of growth in our environment that is ever present. JIM MCLAUGHLIN-Landfill Superintendent, asked if they were going to get rid of the septic trucks a the landfill. ._ SUPERVISOR WALTER-Hopefully...The Department of Environmental Conservation will have to approve going into the city treatment plant for our septic haulers. Our contract with the city allows that they will take that, it is only Encon that said that they can't and that's why we are. I think that we can look for some relief from that area shortly. They did not want us to dump into the old plant, they felt that it could not handle it. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-One of the major things I think we resolved was to establish the ban on all open burning.
