On our meter rates this represents 157.-it is necessary to maintain the water dist. in a sound financial condition which this board� in the last five to six year has gotten. This will not last if inflation keeps on the way it is now, but it will do for two or three years, the difference will be made .up in the growth of water sales. In the case of the proposed flat water rates, they are up, it is intended I to induce those people who have been reluctant to go on the metered rate to make it worth their while to go on the metered rate. . .in most cases he will find it in his benefit to be on the metered rate. We do have a problem in Big Boom and Big Bay Roads, where we extended water down these roads through the cooperation of the state., to reach the rest areas, those lines are outside of the present Qsby. Water Dist. we intent to incorporate those houses into the QsPy. Water Dist., in the mean-time we do not think it is fair to sexy to these people you are not in the water dist., you cannot have water, we have designed the water expenses to be equal to those that are in the district. . .

Robertson, Mrs. Walter Noes: None Absent: None j i Discussion re: Landfill Councilman Olson-asked Mrs. Walter if the City of Glens Falls had met their obligation in regard to , the Landfill payment? �`- Supervisor Walter- no, I wrote to the Mayor in November and told him that the Town of Queensbury could not underwrite the costs of the Cities solid waste. I have written to the Mayor as of last week indicating to him that if there was no payment by the City of Glens Falls to the Town of Queensbury by December 28th that we would consider the landfill _ agreement teminiated with the City and we would close the gate of the Landfill to the City of Glens Falls. Currently the City owes the Town of Queensbury under the current contract about Forty Six thousand Dollars, we have not received any money at all from the City since last year. The Bookkeeping Dept. has ,vouchered the City on a monthly basis, as per j their request. The amount is sufficient enough to make this Town concerned, it is not a large amount for the City to completely take care of their solid waste for eleven months, it is reasonable. . . i i Councilman OZson- noted that the figure is not large in viewing what the City in the past paid for their own landfill operation. . . 22 i Supervisor WaZter-The City has asked to go into negotiations because the contract is based on population and we were waiting for the new census figures to come in-, however one the stipulations in the contract would be that it could be changed once the census figures were determined to be valid, after the first of November of the calendar year, 1981, that does not have any real bearing on why there has been non-payment since the early part of the year. Councilman Morrell- where are we getting the fortysix thousand dollars that we have not received?
