REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD
TOWN OF GLENVILLE
JANUARY 18, 2006
AT THE GLENVILLE MUNICIPAL CENTER
18 GLENRIDGE ROAD, GLENVILLE, NEW YORK
Present: Supervisor Frank X. Quinn, Councilmen, Robert E. Bailey, Mark A. Quinn, Edward F. Rosenberg and Councilwoman Valerie M. DiGiandomenico
Absent: None
Supervisor Quinn called the meeting to order at 8:00 PM. Supervisor Quinn gave the invocation and lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Supervisor Quinn asked the Town Clerk, Linda C. Neals, to call the roll. Everyone was present and accounted for.
Supervisor Quinn – “We have the privilege of Susan Savage, who’s the Chair for the Schenectady County Legislature and she has something interesting for us to do tonight.”
Susan Savage – “It is a pleasure to be here and join you tonight to watch all of you in your new roles. As I said on January 1st I look forward to working with all of you.
One of the assets that we have in County Government is the County Library system which you know well having the Glenville Branch located right next door. One of the initiatives that our County Library system has undertaken this year is a program called “One County, One Book” and I am very excited about the program and most of us on the County Legislature are participating in it. I am excited about it for a lot of reasons; one I think that it is a very unifying program for our County. Sometimes we break ourselves down into very small communities but we are One County and we share so many things in common including that library system.
This program not only promotes unity it promotes literacy in our community and this year the book that was chosen by friends at that library is “To Kill A Mockingbird” and I think many of us may have read this as teenagers.
I had the opportunity to have the book presented to me and what I am doing and what others are doing throughout the community are passing that book on to other people. There is information that I will include in the copy that you have. I am going to pass my book to the new Supervisor Frank Quinn and I have copies for each of the board members to start. You might want to pass it on to a family member, or a friend. There is the opportunity to go on line and share your comments.
This is an important book and I think it is a fun thing to do. It’s an opportunity for people from ten to one hundred to all read the same book, think about the impact that it has on our lives.
I was presented this copy by Janet Hutchinson last Wednesday and so I want to make that presentation to Supervisor Quinn and encourage him to pass it along to other members and I’d like to present each Town Board member with their own copy.”
Town Council Reports:
Councilman Quinn – “The Traffic Safely Committee met last week and discussed a variety of items but two seemed to be more prevalent. First of all there are concerns about traffic on Route 50 and more curb cuts being allowed by the State of New York for new projects.
Our traffic engineer is conducting a sign inventory so all missing or damaged signs should be replaced shortly.
The Public Safety Committee also met last week and as you can imagine the primary concern was once again our communications console. We are still in the consultant phase of that project and we do have a concern that our console may fail with the increased obsolesces of parts and we are well aware that the County has an initiative for centralized dispatch but we are kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. Hopefully we will see some real movement on the ongoing phases of that project.”
Councilman Bailey – “Recall back on December 7th, we passed a resolution awarding the contracts for the Water Treatment Plant addition. This is a substantial expansion of the water plant that we have down along the river.
I met today with the general construction contractors, the electrical contractor, plumbing contractor and the heating/ventilating/air-conditioning contractor right here for a couple of hours, with Mark Kestner, Commissioner of Public Works, Councilwoman DiGiandomenico and other town staff.
We went through the way the contract is going to be run, the various reports that are due and project schedules. Fundamentally we allowed the construction to kick off today, there are construction trailers, some of them are on the site and some will be coming in within the next few days. We hope to break ground on Monday. The period of performance should be approximately one (1) year.
We have had a lot of rain and there has been a lot of news recently on the Gilboa Dam, people are worried about that. There’s a mitigation work underway to try and ensure that nothing adverse happens there. That has led to a series of public meetings and there will be one held here in Glenville, at the Glenville Senior Citizens Center, January 25th at 7:00 pm and it will be presented by the Schenectady County Office of Emergency Management. The concern of course is if the Gilboa Reservoir were to cascade down through the Schoharie Creek, down the Mohawk River and then come down by us, it would potentially worst case flood low lying areas so we want to get that word out.
I spent almost a couple of hours over at the Highway Department reviewing budget situations. This is one of the things that we are going to need to look at in an upcoming work session.
In my roll as liaison to the Zoning Board of Appeals, there is a Zoning Board of Appeals meeting this coming Monday, right here in this room at 7:00pm.
There are several items on the docket:
1. Application – 151 Hetcheltown Road, for the construction of a detached garage.
2. Baptist Retirement Center – New Signage
3. Application – Gary Heflin, to sub-divide two lots on the corner of Valleywood and Redwood.
4. Application – Stewarts, 411 Ballston Road – to expand their sign
5. Application – Bordeau Builders – 97 Pashley Road – sub-division
Another item of interest to people down near the Scotia-Glenville High School there will be a public information meeting on January 26th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the cafeteria. It will present the sidewalk project. This is a project that’s been working for a couple of years now and had been planned for longer than that. We are looking at the addition of sidewalks along a number of streets.
Assuming that winter comes back we will be holding the Glenville Winterfest on Saturday, February 4th, rain date February 8th at Indian Meadows Park at 9:30 to 11:30 am.”
Supervisor Quinn – “The Winterfest is a golden opportunity for anyone with children as well as grandchildren. Come and enjoy.”
James MacFarland – “We plan on horse drawn sleigh rides, broomball game, refreshments, hot air balloon, skydivers, sledding, cross country skiing, a variety of activities.”
Councilman Rosenberg – “I have the Assessor’s Monthly Report for December. Mostly routine things and they continue to work with the appraisal consultants on the re-evaluation for the Town. Preliminary values will be mailed out on March 1st.”
Councilwoman DiGiandomenico – “Friday I met with Rick LeClair and some of his department heads and rode in a truck for three (3) hours and got myself acquainted with various water treatment plants, sewer plants and I am happy to say that I am amazed by how immaculate everything is maintained and commend all of the workers for that.”
Privilege of the floor:
The following people exercised the privilege of the floor:
Jeffery Luke – Proprietor of Schenectady Seed, Freeman’s Bridge Road – Disagrees with the Freeman’s Bridge Road Master Plan Zoning amendments.
No one else wished to speak; Supervisor Quinn closed the Privilege of the Floor.
Supervisor’s Comments to the Board:
Supervisor Quinn – “I am sure all the Board members have met the gentleman up hear sitting on my left. This is Eric Dickson, he is our attorney, he’s joined our team as of January and he will be serving with us as the primary attorney for the town.
Eric has over eighteen (18) years of experience in town municipal law and working with town boards so we look forward to having him with us.
For those of you who are not around here in the daytime we’ve continued the staff meetings that were going on in the past, each Monday at 9:30 a.m. prior to any of the regularly scheduled board meeting. If you are trying to get anything in and you need to submit anything or give your questions or comments to me on the close of business on Fridays and I will get them to the staff if you can’t make the meeting.
We have an upcoming Annual Association of Towns Conference going on in NYC in February, so if anyone is interested please let me know.
The staff and all of us are working on and you will see some reports in the future, sorting out properties and property lines and so forth down in the Industrial Park. We’ve got fire district boundaries, who owns what and there has been some confusion in the past. The Village of Scotia, the Town, the fire districts all have to get this straighten out.
The major developer that was here last month for the Freeman’s Bridge development, this box store, has withdrawn their proposal and they are no longer interested in that.
Some upcoming meetings for the board members: on Thursday the 19th at 1:00 pm at Zone Five Police Academy on the proposed training center. The consortium that now exists has got Zone Five as a major participant and so I am going to discuss with those folks what they see and how they see things coming together.
Next Tuesday on the 24th at 10:00 am the New York Development Group will be here to discuss the proposed easement on the Town property and so we will be meeting with Peg Huff and Kevin Corcoran as well.
On February 1st at 7:00 pm prior to our board meeting there will be a public information session about the re-evaluation that we are currently undergoing. The public is invited and there will be time for questions and answers.
Next Wednesday the 25th we anticipate having a work session at 7:30 pm.
There are two (2) add on items for tonight’s agenda, the first has to do with the abolishment of the Town Attorney position and the second one has to do with the property on Rector Road.”

Discussion…
Supervisor Quinn – “This is a resolution for the Town Board in considering how best to provide the legal services for the Town of Glenville. We determined that it is really in our best interest to abolish the position or the office if you will of Town Attorney.
When you have an Office of the Town Attorney it has certain limitations to go with it and one is who ever serves in that office must be a resident of the town and number two as an officer of the town they get a two (2) year appointment and so we feel and I am in favor of this one hundred percent (100%) that we want to have certainly the legal services and we want to have the best legal services we can get for our town. We are abolishing the position so that there will be no confusion and getting us on the right footing to go forth in the future.”

Councilman Quinn – “I would like to read a letter from our Traffic Engineering Technician, Tom Melander:
An evaluation of the Town of Glenville traffic statistics for last year, 2005, demonstrates that traffic accident severity has decreased in the past year. There were no fatal accidents in 2005 and the frequency of personal accidents decline by 14.9%.
The Town assigned police officers to traffic enforcement during 2005 and has declined the rate of serious accidents as evidence of their good work.”
Councilman Bailey – “I think we all received the communication from the BH-BL Central Schools, about their Participation in Government Festival.”
Supervisor Quinn – “You each have it right? It is their civic government courses.”
Councilman Bailey – “They basically ask two things, would some entity in the town be willing to put together a little dog and pony show about what government/public service involves and secondly would we be willing to shadow or mentor a small number of students. We could have them participate with us, sit with us in a work session and sit beside us during a public meeting. I think that would be a good experience for them.”
Councilwoman DiGiandomenico – “I was going to meet with James MacFarland in the near future to discuss this and to volunteer to be the point of contact.”
The Town of Glenville Town Board Meeting was adjourned at 9:00 PM.
