QUAKER ROAD/BAY ROAD FORCE MAIN
RESOLUTION NO. 366,2013
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. John Strough
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board duly established the Town of Queensbury
Consolidated Sewer District and the Route 9 Sanitary Sewer District (together, the "Districts") in
accordance with New York Town Law, and
WHEREAS, the Meadowbrook Pump Station pumps sewerage from both Districts to the
City of Glens Falls collection system through an existing force main from the pump station along
Bay Road and Quaker Road to a point on Bay Road and Sanford Street, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to set up a bypass system to enable the Town to replace
pipe as sections of the force main show deterioration in order to prevent a full system emergency and
to make certain other system improvements, all in accordance with Town Law §202-b, and
WHEREAS, Delaware Engineering, P.C., professional engineers, has prepared an
Engineering Report concerning the proposed bypass system and sewer system improvements,
together with an estimate of the cost of such improvements, and
WHEREAS, the Engineering Report was duly filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's Office and
made available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has determined that the Project is a Type II Action under
the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA ) and no further SEQRA review is required,
and
WHEREAS, although the Town of Queensbury is a town partially within the Adirondack
Park, neither of the Districts contains State lands assessed at more than thirty-percent (30%) of
the total taxable assessed valuation of the respective District, so permission of the State
Comptroller for the proposed expenditure is not required under Town Law §202-b(5),
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
RESOLVED that:
1. The proposed improvements are:
(a) installation of a force main bypass system consisting of multiple bypass
connections installed approximately every 800 feet, valves and temporary piping
and new piping under Bay Road and Quaker Road; and
(b) installation of piping to bypass Meadowbrook Pump Station and Hiland Park
Pump Station using a portable trash diesel pump, and installation at the
Meadowbrook Pump Station of a pinch valve to control flow to the City of Glens
Falls and an odor control system; and
(c) replacement of twenty-one (21) existing grinder pumps serving homes that
cannot be served with gravity sewers.
2. The maximum estimated cost of such improvements is $1,011,000.
3. The cost of the improvements will be paid from obligations to be issued by the Town
of Queensbury on behalf of the Districts. Therefore, the annual cost of the improvements to the typical
2
residence for debt service will depend on the terms of such obligations. Assuming that the typical
property is a single family residence, which is equivalent to three (3) service units under the
Districts' Benefit Tax System, and that the rate of interest on the Town's obligations will be
three-percent (3%) per annum, the estimated annual cost to a typical property would increase
approximately $20 for 10 year debt service, $14 for 15 year debt service or $10 for 25 year debt
service, depending on the maturity chosen by the Town.
4. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, September 23rd, 2013 to hear all persons
interested in improvement of the Districts' facilities as described above and to take such other and
further action as may be required or authorized by law.
5. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to duly
publish and post a Notice of Public Hearing not less than ten(10) days nor more than twenty(20) days
before the public hearing date, as required by Town Law §202-b.
Duly adopted this 9h day of September, 2013 by the following vote:
AYES Mr. Clements, Mr. Strough, Mr. Brewer, Mr. Montesi
NOES None
ABSENT: Mr. Metivier
