RESOLUTION # 37-99

In the matter of a Proposal to establish a Sewer District in the Town of Sand Lake, Rensselaer County,

New York, to be known as Sand Lake Sewer District Number II.


Whereas, the Town Board of the Town of Sand Lake has previously contracted with the firm of Kestner

Engineers, P.C. for preparation of a concept plan with respect to installation of sewers in the vicinity of

Glass and Crooked Lakes in the Town, and

Whereas, upon application the Town has been awarded an Environmental Bond Act grant of up to

$500,000.00 (limited to 85% of construction cost) to partially fund the project, and

Whereas, public informational meeting were held concerning the proposal at which affected property

owners and residents were invited to review the concept plan and make their views known as to

whether they would support such a project, and,

Whereas, at such meeting and through a straw poll, affected residents and property owners evinced

substantial interest in the project, and

Whereas, based upon such interest the firm of Kestner Engineers, P.C. was directed to complete a map,

plan and report concerning such proposal, which map, plan and report has now been completed and

filed with the office of the Town Clerk on the 20th day of April, 1999, and

Whereas, pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, the Board has found this to be a Type

I action, that it conducted a coordinated review of the project, that the Town Board of the Town of Sand

Lake designated itself as lead agency, that Kestner Engineers, P.C. prepared a draft long form

Environmental Assessment Form for completion by the Board with such firm’s aid, and that notice

thereof was provided to the following involved and interested agencies: Department of Environmental

Conservation, County Health Department, County Sewer District, New York State Department of

Transportation, Rensselaer County Highway Department, federal Environmental Protection Agency, NYS

Environmental Facilities Corporation, and

Whereas, the Board has heretofore on October 9, 1998, issued a negative declaration of environmental

significance with respect to the project, there have been no significant changes to the project since such

time and the Board hereby readopts, reaffirms and ratifies such negative declaration, and

Whereas, the area to be encompassed within the proposed Sand Lake Sewer District Number 2 is

bounded and described as follows: that area of the Town encompassed by the parcels of land identified

by tax map number in Exhibit A attached hereto; also see map of proposed district dated April 19, 1999

and filed with the Town Clerk’s office; and,

Whereas the improvements proposed consist of sanitary sewer service to the Crooked Lake area as

shown on a map prepared by Kestner Engineers, P.C. dated March, 1998. Initially, sanitary sewer service

would be provided to the properties from Creek Lane southeasterly along State Route 43/66 past the

intersection of Eastern Union Turnpike to Methodist Farm Road and then along Methodist Farm Road in

a westerly direction approximately nine hundred feet. Sanitary sewer service would also be extended

once funding were obtained along Eastern Union Turnpike and further westerly along Methodist Farm

Road servicing properties on both sides of those roads including Maria Villa Way, Twin Lion Way, Holser

Road Way and Perry Way off of Eastern Union Turnpike, and Connelly Way, Lilly Lane to Stewart Lane,

Saxby Way and Stone Camp Way. The project would be serviced by grinder pumps and would discharge

waste water to the existing Town of Sand Lake Sewer District #1 pump station at Creek Lane. Waste

water treatment would be provided by the Rensselaer County Sewer District Plant on the Hudson River.

Whereas the maximum amount proposed to be expended for the said improvement is the sum of

$680,000.00 to be financed as follows: $462,000.00 grant through the New York State Environmental

Bond Act (85% of construction costs) and $217,600 5%, 20year bond, and

Whereas, annual expenses and hook-up fees for the typical property or one or two family home if

different are as follows:

Served: (Includes properties on west side of Route 43/66 and both sides of Methodist Farm Road for

approximately 900 feet from its intersection with Route 43/66):

Connected: $464.10 per residential unit which includes capital costs,

transportation, county and maintenance fees.

Not Connected: $286.10 (capital cost only).

Future Served: (Includes properties on the east side of Route 43/66 and all properties in District other

than those described under Served, above):

All: $60.00 towards capital costs.

Notes: Vacant parcels assessed at one half residential unit capital cost only. Commercial property

charged multiple of residential rate based upon County formula. Grinder pumps purchased and

installed at District expense. Non-buildable parcels owned by persons owning other buildable property

in district are not assessed any fees or costs until such time as parcels go into separate ownership.

NOW THEREFORE,

IT IS HERBY ORDERED that a meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Sand Lake shall be held at the

Town Hall in the Town of Sand Lake, New York on the 6th day of May, 1999, at 7:30 o’clock in the

afternoon of that day to consider the proposal and to hear all persons interested in the subject thereof

INTRODUCTION: Supervisor Kelley informed the residents that a survey was being conducted through

the town and that it was not authorized by the Town Board. The preliminary figures of 4/17/99 for the

renovation of the existing Town Hall was a wish list.

Smith & Mahoney will be offering some changes today that we might consider. The State Police Grant is

still available. Although they will not make a commitment to the Town to increase their numbers, they

will not decrease their presence. Smith & Mahoney will be doing a survey of the proposed residents in

the proposed water district. This will be confidential.

PRESENTATION:

Mike Mc Nerney and Dave Winkler passed out a preliminary cost estimate to the public.

They proceeded to go over each line item and addressed the changes that could lower the cost of

renovation.

COMMENTS FROM RESIDNETS:

· Jack Reardon had questions on the stage, stage curtain, stage lighting and State Police facility.

Jack also commented on saving funds for the landfill. He feels we should be careful with the monies put

aside in case of leakage.

· Cheri Foland suggested asking organizations for volunteer donations such as landscape, lighting

etc.

· Colleen Regan objected to this meeting not being televised. She felt we were not given residents

proper notice of meetings.

· Peg Burkhart objected to short cuts. She felt we should do the renovations as stipulated and not

cut costs by renovating existing heating, etc.

Mike McNerney and Dave Winkler stated that renovation work is always more difficult than new

construction. They suggested that the Board come up with a budget that the engineers would have a

figure to work with. They also stated that they had not had time to go over the phone bids.

BUSINESS:

MONTHLY REPORTS:


· Total fees paid to the Supervisor for April, 1999 - $688.80

· Copy on file in the Town Clerk’s Office.


· Supervisor Kelley noted that the presentation by Smith & Mahoney was removed from the

agenda due to the fact that it is not ready yet, as the Town Board is still working on a budget and until

we finalize the budget for this Town Hall no plans can be produced. We will have a presentation in the

future as soon as our plans are finalized. I apologize to anyone who came to see this presentation.

· The former Capital Mutual Building is coming along quite nicely. We anticipate a substantial

completion date of June 12, 1999. At that date, town officials will be going through the building to

create a punch list, a list a small things which need to be completed by the contractor before final

completion date. We are not quite sure if that will actually be a moving date. We don’t want to be in the

way of the contractors. The upstairs is coming along quite nicely. There is still some work to be done on

the outside.

· We are taking a careful and cautious approach with this building.

· Creation of Crooked Lake Sewer District No. II will be on the agenda tonight. We are asking the

People in the District to vote on this referendum.

· Regarding the Averill Park Water District- Over 500 surveys have been mailed out to residents in

this district. About 25% were returned because of incorrect mailing addresses. We will be having a

meeting with the people in this district and we are moving along with the implementation of this

project. Please return your survey as we need a good percentage in order to compile figures for Grant

monies.

· Received the resignation of our convenience facility operator, Charles Smyth. Any interested

parties, please contact the Supervisor’s office.

· I also received a positive response from Senator Joseph Bruno in regards to our letter for

additional funds for the Crooked Lake Sewer District and Burden Lake area.


CABLE - Nancy Dunn - A Cable committee is being formed for the purpose of expanding Cable use in

town. We have discussed this with Supervisor Kelley and are in agreement. We expect an increase in

the cable casting of Civic and Informational as well as Educational Programs. Time Warner Cable is also

changing their billing cycle. You will notice an extra weeks service on your current bill. This is a one time

adjustment.

STREETLIGHTING - Nancy Dunn - Our 1999 Streetlight inventory has been completed. The town has been

billed for 497 lights and there are actually 497 in the town however, we have been underbilled in the

amount 960 watts resulting in an underbilling of $45.75 per month. Our monthly billing will be

$5,675.00 per month or $68,100.00 per year. The 1999 Town Budget appropriated $70,000 for

streetlighting with revenues of $2000.00 expected, so we should be in good shape.

ANIMAL CONTROL - Joseph Trupia - on file in the Town Clerk’s Office

INSURANCE - Joseph Trupia is looking into coverage in case any legal action is brought against the town

in regards to any contamination as a result of the old landfill site. It is very preliminary, but I am

investigating.

YOUTH & RECREATION - Flora Fasoldt - Interviews were conducted for the Day Camp program. There is a

resolution on the agenda tonight for the hiring of this staff. We have received our operating permit from

the Rensselaer County Health Department to run our Town Beach and will begin the process of

interviewing and hiring staff for the beach soon. We are in need of lifeguards.

PARKS - Flora Fasoldt - We completed the general clean-up of Butler Park and installed new guard rails

along the parking areas around the ball fields. We hope to be able to do around the playground area.

We will be contacting the Morton Co. about the addition to the pavilion as they built the original

building. We installed barbecue pits for your enjoyment.

events at schools and at the Ambulance Garage.

occasional legal counsel. Notice has been placed in the Advertiser. Friends of the Library held a brunch

and attend Summerfest. There are also

some events scheduled for fall. We received a $1,000.00 grant from the Hudson River Bank & Trust

Company which has been set aside to be used in relation to our move. Internet training workshops are

being offered as part of a grant we received. We will be in contact with the many people who have

volunteered to help us with our move. A layout of our new space will be on display in the Library along

with a list of items and their prices needed. Anyone wishing to make a donation of these items may

sign up to do so. Siena College has donated used furnishings to us saving us $10,000 to $15,000 in

furnishings which will be available to us in August. During our move, the Library will be closed for

approximately one week to ten (10) days. Notice to parents: We will no longer be allowed to drop off

your very young children and leave them unattended due to staff shortages.
