I WONDER IF THE TOWN SHOULD BE PROVIDING MONIES FOR THE PURCHASE OF BUSES WHICH THE MAYOR HAS STATED WILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY OF GLENS FALLS? I DO NOT THINK THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF AUDIT AND CONTROL WOULD BE TOO HAPPY FOR QUEENSBURY TO BE DOING THAT. WE COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IF THERE WAS A PROVISION THAT I.F THE SYSTEM WAS DISSOLVED THAT QUEENSBURY WOULD RECOUP A PERCENTAGE OF THE MONEY THAT WAS RECEIVED BY THE CITY AFTER THE SALE OF THE EQUIPMENT AND PAY ANY UNPAID CAPITAL COSTS EQUAL TO THE PERCENTAGE THAT WE HAVE PUT INTO THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.
