I DO NOT KNOW HOW EACH OF THE TOWN BOARD MEMBERS FEEL ABOUT SUCH A PROJECT BUT I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING : NOT LONG AGO THE CITY OF G. F. AND THE TOWN FORMEDA JOINT LANDFILL PROJECT. THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY AND TOWN PAID FOR THE SOLUTION TO THE WASTE DISPOSAL PROBLEMS FOR THE YEARS TO COME, WE DO NOT NEED THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WE HAVE SPENT THE MONEY TO SATISFY ENCON ON ITS CURRENT LANDFILL REQUIREMENTS . WHO NEEDS THE PROJECT. . . THOSE WHO NEED THE PROJECT ARE THE VILLAGES AND TOWN OF WASHINGTON CO. WHO HAVE NOT LOOKED AHEAD ANDKEPT UP WITH THEIR LANDFILL RESPONSIBILITIES . . . FT. EDWARD AND KINGSBURY ' S LANDFILL I UNDERSTAND ARE RIPE WITH PCB ' S . I HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT LAYERS OF SEALENT WILL HAVE TO BE APPLIED TO SOME PARTS OF THESE LANDFILLS IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE WARREN CO. SEWER PROJECT ENCON WAS BUSY INSPECTING LOCAL LANDFILLS AND CLOSING THEM DOWN 1TO SEWER HAULERS WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF. WHY IS THERE NOT THIS ACTIVITY IN THE WASHINGTON CO. LANDFILL' S TODAY? WOULDN' T CLOSING DOWN UNEXCEPTABLE LANDFILLS IN WASHINGTON CO. 112 Maw IT CLEAR TO THE TAXPAYERS WHO IS GOING TO BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS PROJECT. IS IT THE DESIRE OF �OME ENCON OFFICIALS TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND ENCOURAGE THIS PROJECT. WHAT WE MUST CONSIDER IS WHETHHZOR NOT THE INTERESTS OF THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY WOULD BEST BE SERVED BY THIS PROJECT. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE INCLUSION OF QSBY . IN THIS PROJECT COULD BE A BETRAYAL OF OUR INTERESTS FOR THE GOOD OF THE "REGION AS A WHOLE" I PROTEST SUCH AN ATTITUDE . I ASK THAT THE TOWN BOARD GO ON RECORD REQUESTING THAT THE COUNTY SUPV. FROM QSBY . OPPOSE THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE TOWN . THANK YOU .

PARTICULARLY NOW WHEN WE ARE WORKING WITH A BUDGET THAT WAS PASSED LAST NOVEMBER THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH FOR THE YEAR 1980 .

WE ARE LOOKING ATVAAo" GRANTS, MORE MONEY FROM THE DIVISION FORYOUTH, EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS DIVISION FOR YOUTH) THOSE MONIES ARE APPROPRIATED FOR SENIOR CITIZENS PROGRAMS, I THINK IT IS ALL IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER . WE ARE LOOKING INTO THOSE THINGS RIGHT NOW, IT IS NOT THAT WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING, I AM JUST SAYING THAT THESE THINGS WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, WE ARE WORKING ON WHAT WE CAN DO. COUNCILMAN MORRELL- I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND YOU AND ALL THE PEOPLE HERE IT DOES SHOW THE NEED. THE INTENT OF THIS COMMITTEE WAS NOT TO DETRACT AT ALL FROM THE G. F.
