LAKE GEORGE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/START UP FOR VISITOR CENTER SUPERVISOR MONTESI-Mike Consuelo from Lake George Chamber of Commerce will not be present tonight asked to come back in late June or July with a better handle on what they need for the Visitor Center at Exit 18. SHELTER PLANNING POTENTIAL GRANT FOR DAVISION BROTHERS—ROBERT MURRAY FROM SHELTER PLANNING PRESENT MR. MURRAY-Spoke to the board regarding the Town applying for a state grant to assist Davidson Brothers in getting a grant to assist them with purchasing specialized equipment for the brewery. If they had this assistance they would be able to hire more people and start off with a little better footing financially with their new venture in Queensbury. Spoke with John Davidson and he was interested, this was confirmed with Supervisor Montesi. The next step is to find out if the Town in general in concept would want to support an application for funds to provide financial assistance to the business. If the board was interested we would take two steps without any commitment on your part. We would detail the project and the cost typically listing the series of equipment needs that he cannot have right now that he really needs. Then we would meet with the State with the plan asking them if this fits the small business assistance program. If it does fit the program I will come back to the board with a proposal the proposal would be would you hire us to do the application submit the grant under the CFA, which would be sometime between now and the end of August. If it is funded you will go through an RFP process for your housing anyways so you would have done that. You could then hire us to run the program to run the project the money is in the grant it would be exactly the same as we do on all the other programs. The board noted they were in favor of going ahead of this. DISCUSSION REGARDING ADDITIONAL CREW FOR EMS SUPERVISOR MONTESI-Spoke to the board regarding adding a flex crew, which would be stationed in Lake George in North Queensbury the end of May through October then they will move to West Glens Falls and be the flex crew,feels this is a very good solution. We are also buying an ambulance for Bay Ridge at a hundred and forty four thousand this year, which brings the capital fund down. Our Budget Officer has to feel comfortable that we have at least three months of operating income. Budget Officer, Barbara Tierney has recommended an increase in rates. Supervisor Montesi asked the board for the input on this. After further discussion it was the decision of the board to wait and see where they are at before making any decisions.
