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
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 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, at a meeting held on September 9d`, 2013, the Town Board adopted a Resolution:
(a) describing the proposed improvements as installation of(a) 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; (b) 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) twenty-one (21)
replacement grinder pumps serving homes that cannot be served with gravity sewers, all as
described in the Engineering Report;
(b) specifying the estimated cost of such improvements as $1,011,000 and indicating that the
cost of the improvements will be paid from obligations to be issued by the Town of
Queensbury on behalf of the Districts and, therefore, the annual cost of the Project to the
typical residence for debt service will depend on the terms of such obligations which,
assuming that the typical property is a 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, 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; and
(c) stating that the Town Board would meet on September 23rd, 2013 to hear all persons
interested in this improvement of the Districts' facilities and to take such other and further
action as may be required or authorized by law; and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Public Hearing was posted and published not less than ten (10) days
nor more than twenty(20) days before the public hearing date, as required by Town Law §202-b, and
