Proceedings - April 14, 2020

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: I'd like to call

this meeting to order. It is 6:36 p.m. We'll

stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance.

(Pledge of Allegiance.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay.

Correspondence, do we have any, Carol?

MS. GUMIENNY: We do not, Eric.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. Reports are

on file, correct?

MS. GUMIENNY: That is correct: Dog

Control, Building Department, Highway, and Town

Clerk.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Financial report

for March 2020 to be accepted. Is there a

motion, Resolution 20-85?

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: So moved.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: I think that was

Councilmember Solberg.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: Second.

COUNCILMEMBER CURTISS: Second.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: I think that was

Kelly Stewart that beat Chuck out on the second.

Try to remember to say who you are.

COUNCILMEMBER CURTISS: Yeah.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: I don't know if I

set mine up to see who is talking. Oh, well.

Okay.

MR. BLAIR: Speaker view in the corner.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. Any

discussion on the financial report for

March 2020?

(No response.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: All in favor?

(Response of aye.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Against?

(No response.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Motion carries.

Next up is the Supervisor's report. I'll keep it

brief. Just so everyone understands what's going

on out there, we have to have a court

stenographer, legally, to be able to do an online

video teleconference, and so there's a fee

associated with that. So, whenever possible, I'm

going to be brief. We also reduced the privilege

of the floor from five minutes to three minutes

for the same reason when that time comes.

So, the only thing that I'd like to

report on this evening is, leaders in the Town

and I are meeting three times a week currently to

go through a very thick document that was created

by HR Public Sector to take our Town from a

little bit of a disorganized organization to a

more professional organization.

It is the personnel policy, and it is

very particular, very specific, and we are going

through it line by line and having a really good

discussion, and in about an hour and a half we

get through about 10 to fifteen pages, so it

really takes time, but on the back end it's going

to really help us to operate well, to deal with

issues, to know what to do with all kinds of

particular HR-related issues.

So, I'm really happy with the progress.

I think it's an excellent use of taxpayer money

to really get us more professional in that way,

and you'll see that HR Public Sector comes up

later tonight. We're going to possibly consult

with them even more. That's all I have for a

report.

Councilmen, we'll start with Councilman

Solberg. Do you have anything for us?

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: We did meet, the

Energy Committee did meet, and we made some

progress and had some discussions about several

of the clean energy capabilities in terms of --

oh, shoot, I wonder if Kelly is on.

There was two specific programs that were

of interest, one that we had discussed that was

the consolidation, and then the other one was

about purchasing of clean energy credits, similar

to purchasing like solar panels in neighboring

communities, and then instead of the panels being

on your actual home, that you can take advantage

of solar without having the physical array on

your home, which offsets the delivery charges.

So, we're also going to be looking at doing that.

We did find that there was a quick win on

adopting the permit, the standard permit. So,

there is some advantages to us adopting the

standard permit for installing solar in a

residential setting, in that the solar installers

then know exactly how to implement and process

the permit across the state. It's not trying to

identify how to do it in each municipality.

And it seemed pretty easy, so we're going

to try to push that through in talking with

Brian, and it's basically a fill-in-the-blank,

address, who to send it to, how much it costs.

It's very standard. It does not go into the

zoning. It's basically just the permit process

for a residential solar.

So we're going to see if we can get that

through in reviewing with Brian and then get it

adopted in a quick order, as that's one of those

items that gets us one step closer to that

ability, that certification. So, other than

that, nothing else.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Thank you,

Councilman. Councilman Curtiss, do you have

anything for us?

COUNCILMAN CURTISS: No, I don't. FLP is

supposed to meet tomorrow night, I believe. I

haven't heard anything, so I don't know if

there's even going to be a meeting. So, outside

of that, there's been nothing from my behalf.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. Councilman

Antoski?

COUNCILMAN ANTOSKI: Very good. Thank

you.

Stewart?

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: It looks like the

Park Committee -- I lost track of the weeks.

There is -- tomorrow is the third Wednesday, but

I -- probably out of an abundance of caution, we

won't meet. I haven't talked to the Committee,

but maybe we can have a similar meeting or e-mail

discussion. I don't know how to set this up.

We don't have anything pressing right

now. I've got some issues to go over with Deb,

so she and I will do that offline, just a couple

of little things. I did have a question for you

though, Eric.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Yes.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: In regards to the

personnel policy, when we had talked about this

years ago, there was a consideration to take it

out of the Code and have it be a stand-alone

document which we could alter by resolution

rather than going through public hearing process.

Is that still the plan?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: That is the plan.

We plan on passing a resolution nullifying all

other resolutions dealing with HR when we're

ready, when it's fully reviewed, and then if it

needs amending, it won't require a resolution.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: But right now it's

in the Code, so we would have to do a public

hearing to remove it from the Code?

MS. KAELIN: Yes, Kelly, that's correct.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Yep.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: Okay. That was my

only question. I don't have anything else to

take up the stenographer's time.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. And I can

set you up as a host for a Zoom meeting in no

time flat if you need that. Just let me know.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: Okay.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. Next up

we've got old business: Lakehill Road and

Library Sidewalk Project. I believe Kathryn is

going to give us an update on that.

MS. SERRA: Yes. I didn't unmute myself.

Sorry about that, Eric.

So Lakehill Sidewalk Project, finally

working to get that out to bid. The plans will

be available on Thursday, April 23rd, with the

bid opening on Thursday, May 21st.

I have reviewed some of the Governor's

executive orders, and we are allowed to have bid

openings in a format not to the public, as long

as they're recorded, and Deb and Carol have all

that information if by the 21st of May there

still are bans on public meetings, and C.T. Male

will be administering the plans and spec book

entirely paperless through PDF or CDs, so there's

no issue with that, and this will be both the

Lakehill Sidewalk Project and the sidewalk

replacement for the library. So any questions?

(No response.)

COUNCILMAN CURTISS: No.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. We do not

have any new business to discuss. Thank you,

Kathryn.

Privilege of the floor is only going to

be for items for consideration and action this

evening, and we're going to limit it to three

minutes. So, if you're new to Zoom, there is a

way to tab your screen or if you're on a

computer, you can raise your hand. If you're on

a cell phone, you just tap your image.

MS. KAELIN: We lost you.

(Discussion off the record)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Sorry. So you

press participant, and once you press

participant, if you're on your cell phone, there

should be a way to raise your hand. Dave Blair

from our Planning Board is volunteering his time

to help us out today, and he will see that you

have something for us, and he will unmute you,

and then, Councilman Solberg, would you be able

to keep time for us if that situation occurs?

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Yes, I can.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. There we go.

So, the same rules apply: Our host has a finger

on the mute button. If anything is inappropriate

of any kind, he'll just mute if necessary.

So, privilege of the floor is now open

for any resolution. Please say your name, say

your address, and make sure you're unmuted, and

we'll have a list.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Eric, so there

are several that have dialed in, and if they want

to raise their hands while they're dialed in,

they can hit, I think it's Star 9 raises your

hand.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Yes. The

instructions were in the link that went out.

They should have those and raise their hand that

way.

Is there anyone out there in the Zoom

world wanting to comment on any of the

resolutions being proposed this evening?

DR. BUCKLEY: Hello, can you hear me?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: We can. Thank you.

Your name and your address, please?

DR. BUCKLEY: It's Dr. Buckley.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Hi, Doctor.

DR. BUCKLEY: This is just an

informational message. The Governor has ordered

that anybody dealing with the public must wear a

mask and eye protection and probably gloves.

I'll send you that information tomorrow.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Eye protection.

Okay. That's new.

DR. BUCKLEY: Yes, either glasses or a

pair of goggles.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Anything else, Dr.

Buckley, or you're good?

DR. BUCKLEY: I'm good.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Do we have anyone

else for privilege of the floor, David?

MR. BLAIR: No sir.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: Okay. Peter is

muted, and I think Colleen Smith had asked to be

unmuted earlier, but I'm not positive.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: She can raise her

hand if she needs something. We just don't want

too many people mic'd up.

MS. SMITH: Hi there. Can you hear me?


MS. SMITH: Actually, Sue Tomlinson,

library trustee, is attending the meeting, and

she had a report to read. I didn't know if she

can still do that, or if we're skipping that

tonight and I should just e-mail something to

Carol separately?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Just for the sake

of being in a state of emergency and the

stenographer issue, if you would e-mail that to

us, we will post that on the Town website as

well.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. Last chance.

Anyone out there in the public need to comment on

any of the resolutions before we move forward?

(No response.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: It's going to be a

short meeting.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: We have Ruth who

raised her hand.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. Ruth.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Go ahead, Ruth,

you can unmute yourself.

MS. OSTERLITZ: Okay. Can you hear me?


MS. OSTERLITZ: Ruth Osterlitz, Magnolia

Lane.

I just noticed that Resolution 20-93 has

more words in it than the last time I reviewed

the agenda. I must have missed it. I was just

concerned that you would approve anything that

has to do with the Lake before any proper public

hearings or moving forward takes place. That's a

concern of mine. I didn't realize you would be

doing anything like that before there was the

Resolution.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Anything else, Ms.

Osterlitz, we're all set?

MS. OSTERLITZ: I guess, yes, because

it's more of a question, but I guess I would ask

to --

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: We'll address that

during discussion with the resolution for sure.

MS. OSTERLITZ: Okay. That's all. Thank

you.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Anyone else?

(No response.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: All right. I guess

we're going to move on. So, new business for

consideration, Resolution 20-86: Consider

approving the agreement for the expenditure of

highway monies for 2020, modifying the amount of

expenditures to read no more than $150,000

without further Town Board review and approval

due to unknown effects of revenue due to the

Covid-19 pandemic. Is there a motion?

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: So moved.


Stewart. Can I get a second?

COUNCILMAN CURTISS: I'll second that.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Councilman Curtiss.

Discussion on this topic? Mr. Whalen, would you

like to chime in and kind of explain our thought

process here?

DEPUTY SUPERVISOR WHALEN: Sure. The

original highway agreement, 284, is something

that has to be done by Highway Law for permanent

improvements of highways in the form of $427,217

for 4.83 miles.

Due to the Covid-19 discussion and team

meetings this past Thursday and the Thursday

before, some questions come up with what is our

sales tax and mortgage tax revenues going to look

like, and my thoughts were, the State budget has

been passed. It includes chips from the Pave New

York and Winter Recovery fund, which is about the

sum of about $136,000.

In talking with our representatives, both

in the Assembly and Senate, that money can be

taken at any time from the Governor to fill in

voids due to the Covid-19, and they're already

being deducted beforehand. So, the thought was

to piecemeal the Highway Agreement by starting

off with $150,000, allowing me to pave what I

have currently ready, now that we're behind about

a month and a half, and we could revisit the rest

of the work moving forward knowing where our

finances are.

It's a conservative approach. It's a

smart approach. I highly recommend that for any

additional spending moving forward throughout the

whole Town budget. That's about all I have,

Eric.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Thank you.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: This is a subset

of what our plan was originally, and it's known

that this funding would be available to us, but

with the unsteady budget and the way things are

looking, that this would be a conservative moving

forward step in terms of the paving that you want

to do?

DEPUTY SUPERVISOR WHALEN: That's

correct, Councilman. Looking at what I have

ready, looking at what funds are there and

available right now with the State, if I could

get my funding submitted to the State, meaning

get partial work done, the 150,000, get it

submitted, there's a better chance of that being

fully funded, the $136,000, and then I would then

go from there taking roads that haven't been

prepped yet to be done on the schedule, prep

them, and that will buy time moving forward by a

month and a half, two months.

We'll be able to see what's going on with

our revenue stream coming in and give us a better

perspective on whether we should not do any more

paving or allow for more to be done.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: It will give us a

different perspective. I don't know if it will

give us a better perspective. I was speaking

with our Town Budget Officer about this, and that

was her opinion, that we're months away from

really understanding how this is going to impact

us, how it's going to impact the county, how it's

going to impact the state.

So, it's quite the mess right now, but I

appreciate Joe taking a conservative approach

here. I think that it's a really safe approach

in regards to how we operate the Town and how we

fund the different funds. So I'm in favor of it.

Anyone else on this topic?

COUNCILMAN ANTOSKI: How late in the

season can you pave? When do you normally stop?

DEPUTY SUPERVISOR WHALEN: I paved last

year in October, John, and that was Lake Road.

We did that late October. I mean, the blacktop

plants usually shut down the week before

Thanksgiving, but it's really weather related.

It snowed the week before Thanksgiving last year.

So, I'm comfortable saying I could go into

mid-October.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Any other

discussion?

(No response.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. All in favor

of this measure?

(Response of aye.)

HR services to the Town at a cost of $600 per

month.

Is there a motion?

COUNCILMAN CURTISS: I will move that

forward.


Can I get a second?

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Second.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Councilman Solberg

with the second.

Discussion on this piece?

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: The only

discussion that I would want to have would be

that because this was not budgeted for and is an

ongoing expense, except for the development of

the employee, the personnel policy. The other

services that they're going to perform -- and I

had a chat with Jeanette, and I understand that

the services are needed, and I agree with that.

I just want to figure out how we're going to

finance that going forward.

Are we going to adjust the budget or what

is the plan for financing?

speak to that?

MS. BORTHWICK: Sure. I think we've got

a lot of things to talk about in terms of

budgeting and what we can afford to do to, but on

this particular issue, Kelly, we just hired a new

bookkeeper, and she is coming in under the cost

of Joann, rightfully so.

Joann has a long time of experience in,

and so her pay rate would be higher than somebody

just coming into the position. So, that's

understandable. So, there's room there.

Although, that gets offset somewhat with some of

the costs we have to pay to Joann. I think

there's room to do this.

Just from my perspective, I don't believe

that this is just a budget consideration. I

think we've had -- in the almost four years that

I've been there, we've had a lot of issues that

could or did or would have created some legal

issues, and I think having an HR expert in there,

rather than trying to guess at it, is the right

step to move forward.

And I also believe that this resolves

many of the issues that I have experienced in the

four years there regarding employees and having a

bookkeeper making decisions about employees,

where the bookkeeper should really just be

processing information, because their expertise

is not in the HR field. And I think it's really

good for the Town from the liability perspective,

and I think Deb Kaelin can chime in on that, but

I also think for the employees, having an

objective third party on the outside to resolve

some of the issues that arise in the Town will be

extremely helpful.

And I would just ask you to consider not

just the cost, because I think the cost is a

reasonable cost for the HR things that we

encounter, but also the potential impact in how

it's going to save us or minimize our potential

costs and liability or other issues.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART. Okay.

COUNCILMAN CURTISS: Yes, I agree

100 percent with what you're saying, Jeanette.

This is a very inexpensive insurance policy

working for us to have everything, our HR, I

mean, all of this written down, as you said, so

that this doesn't become a decision for the

bookkeeper.

This needs to be set in stone in a more

formal way and just simplify our process, and for

$600 a month, to me, is really a just expense.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: I don't disagree

at all with the need for HR services, and if the

offset, at least in the first year, covers the

$600 a month, I'm not -- I'm fine with if we need

fund balance to cover the cost of redoing the

personnel policy. That's a single one-shot item.

Continuing services are fine, and if the offset

of the new bookkeeper over Joann is $600 a month

in the first year, that's fine.

I just wanted to make sure that was the

case, because otherwise you can't pay for ongoing

personnel expenses out of fund balance. So, I

just wanted to know what the balance was there.

That's all. I just want to make sure we can pay

for them without a budget adjustment.

yes.

for the year or just ongoing?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: It's ongoing. The

difference between what we were paying the former

bookkeeper and the current bookkeeper, there's

plenty of cushion to stomach that cost for this

fiscal year, and then next fiscal year we would

work it into the budget, correct, Jeanette?

MS. BORTHWICK: Yes, and I also believe

by offloading this to -- number one, it's

professionals. So this is their expertise. This

is what they do. So that, to me, is really

important, but I also believe that we can get

Sarah up to speed such that some of the work that

I am doing that really should be in the

bookkeeper duties, I can pass off to her, which

will draw back my cost to the Town, and so I see

some give and take there, and that's really what

the goal is, is to kind of sit and open up that

room there so that Sarah takes on more of the

bookkeeping and that I step back from some of

that work and do more of the oversight.

MS. KAELIN: If I could weigh in on the

contract. We can get out of the contract at any

time, so such that, either it's not working out

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: Eric, has the

person that you're meeting with, have they been

traveling from the Glenville location or from

Rhinebeck, because I saw that in the contract

that we would pay for their transportation

expenses from Glenville or Rhinebeck?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: We have not been

meeting with them at all. It's just been

department heads going through line by line what

they prepared for us.


MS. KAELIN: Well, we did have one

meeting with them, and then the rest of the

communications with the HR firm have been via

e-mail, and they've been very -- e-mail and

phone. They've been very responsive.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Yes, thank you,

Deb. I forgot that you guys did meet with them

early on.

DEPUTY SUPERVISOR WHALEN: This is just

to relieve pressure from folks who can't make

their monthly bills and leave the water hanging

over their head. We just felt that during these

circumstances, we would waive the late fee charge

and take some pressure off folks.

As far as the mailing, I spoke with both

postmasters, and I can't control the mail issues

at post offices and mail going in the right

places, and both me and Mr. Luft spoke with both

post office postmasters, and he's understanding a

little bit better.

COUNCILMAN CURTISS: Okay.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Jeanette?

MS. BORTHWICK: Yes.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: I know that we

were looking at implementing an online payment

system for the water, right?

MS. BORTHWICK: Yes.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Is there options

for mailing in or processing checks, like check

payments, ACH, things like that?

start of the utility billing module

implementation. That's probably going to take a

good six months, and that would include the

online payment option. We're hoping, I believe

the goal would be to go live on the fourth

quarter billing.

So, the only thing is, is that although

they can't come inside the building, there is

absolutely a box on the back door outside the

building where people are more than welcome to

drop their payments, but there are people that

are used to walking inside the building and

making their payments at the Building Department

window. So, the other option is just to drop it

in the box. That box is looked at every day.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Jeanette, what is

your local bank?

MS. BORTHWICK: It's BSNB, and I know

where you're going. I don't recommend it because

there is no way for us to really try and figure

out all of these clients. That's 2,800 clients.

So, I would really rather prefer that we wait

until we have the correct module in place so it

links their payment directly to their accounts,

rather than adding more administrative load on

the office.

We already have a load as it is, and I'd

like to not add to that. So, if I could ask you

to be patient and wait for this module to go into

play, I think you'll be very happy with it.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Councilman Solberg.

Any discussion on this?

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Is this

full-time?

MS. SMITH: Yes.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: We have to ask

Colleen.

MS. SMITH: Yes. Our librarians work a

35-hour work week, and Rebecca Darling is on

leave, so it is full-time, but Susan is working

32 because that's what fit into her schedule and

that's what was approved. So, it's full-time,

just a little bit less of the maximum of 35.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: This would be

eligible for health care too, correct?

MS. SMITH: No. When we've hired

temporary positions before, we followed suit, so

it was offered without any health benefits. It's

temporary, so we didn't have to do that. We

worked with the County Civil Service about that.

Because of the temporary position, that was not a

requirement for us to do.

So she gets holidays off, but that was

the only benefit because it is a temporary

three-month position with a possibility to extend

another three months.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: And the start

date would be when?

MS. SMITH: It was February 24th. She

started in February.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: You will have to

excuse my ignorance, but has the library been

open during this period of time when --

MS. SMITH: Since February 24th or right

now?

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Right now or at

what times it was -- like we decided the --

MS. SMITH: Yes, the Library Board

approved it in February. Rebecca Darling went

out on leave and the Library Board approved it,

and we reported on it at the March meeting, but I

didn't get the resolution to Carol in time, so I

had to wait a whole other cycle.

So she's been there filling in and one of

the leadership teams since that time, and the

library closed to the public on March 16th.

There was a week when we were closed to the

public but staff were reporting, and then we

closed to the public after the Governor's

executive order on the 23rd, but we are still

continuing to offer library programs, activities

and classes and working remotely.

Susan is a member of the library

leadership team. So, we have three full-time

librarians, and because Rebecca is on leave,

Susan is taking that position while Rebecca is on

leave. And we submitted all the paperwork to

Saratoga County Civil Service and worked with

them on it too.

Timber Creek Drive is 2,915 feet from

Benedict Road to Tamarack Street. Linden Court

is a 747-foot cul-de-sac off Timber Creek Drive.

Basswood Court is 812 feet and begins and ends on

Timber Creek Drive. The portion of Tamarack

Street being dedicated as part of Phase 1 is

1,140 feet from Timber Creek Drive to Eastline

Road.

Acceptance includes water main, storm

sewer infrastructure, and three stormwater

management areas. The Town accepts all

responsibility of maintaining and repairing the

MS. SERRA: Yes.

DEPUTY SUPERVISOR WHALEN: Yes.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: This is the new

development that the homes have not yet been

built, right, on Eastline Road?

MS. SERRA: No. Peter, that project that

you're referring to was the Droser subdivision

which was taken over, I believe, in February.

Abele Woods is actually south of the

intersection of Round Lake Road. It's almost in

Clifton Park. It connects Eastline to Benedict,

if you ever drive down that way. If you're

driving down Eastline Road, it forms now a

four-way intersection with Raylinski Road.

It's also referred to as the fourth phase

of Timber Creek, but this is the Abele Woods

PUDD.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Has this been

inspected in terms of stormwater?

developer's bids are required to have weekly

Management Officer, is reviewing, and we have

worked with them recently to button up issues

after snow melt.

So, they're much improved as of today

versus when the snow melted in March, but they

are not working on site. They are shut down.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: Yes, there is a

significant amount of water that has flown down

Eastline Road in those new developments, and with

the lack of good footing on some of the land

there with the grass, it is showing a lot of mud

that's flowing through those conduits and runoff

down Eastline Road.

So, that's where my concern is, if there

is an inspection, and there's not a lot of

construction going on currently, so there's not a

lot of eyes on that. Joe, are you --

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: That's not this --

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: No, no, no. Joe,

are you good?

DEPUTY SUPERVISOR WHALEN: Yes, we

have -- there's a letter or a bond or letter of

credit set aside from the top course of pavement,

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: I believe Jenny

Lippmann is with us here today, but I believe

that contract can be terminated at any point; is

that correct, Jenny?

MS. LIPPMANN: Yes, that is correct. So,

we do see that it is for the remainder of 2020,

but it is month-to-month and can be terminated,

once that need is eliminated, for whatever

reason.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Just for the

benefit of the residents that are listening, the

plan here is for this situation to be temporary.

Right now we're in the middle of this isolation,

Covid-19 issue, so there probably isn't going to

be much in the way of planning activity that

needs to be done. So, it's not going to really

affect us financially to a large degree.

Then, once we come out of isolation, the

Board is considering a possible moratorium, and

if that were to pass, there would be an extended

period where Town planning would be fairly

minimal, on the smaller scale for sure.

So, after Covid-19 and if we were to go

into moratorium, on the back end of the

moratorium, maybe three months, maybe four months

we get a full assessment of what's our stormwater

time constraints and how much effort is going

into that.

C.T. Male is handling the stormwater, and

then we would talk to M.J. as well and how much

time and effort is going into Town planning, and

then we would be able to assess, do we need a

part-time planner, do we need a full-time

planner, or is our planning minimal and we just

stay the course with what we have.

So, it gives us options and it allows us

to not bring anybody on full-time with benefits

or even part-time in the process of dealing with

Covid and a possible moratorium.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: For the benefit of

the public, can you just go over the bare bones

of what the agreement and the contract agreement

is, in terms of cost and hours and things like

that?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Jenny, would you

mind speaking on that?

MS. LIPPMANN: Not at all. So what we do

propose is that we would provide a staff member

for the equivalent of about a day and a half a

week. When we're out of the Covid stay-at-home

order, we also propose having an M.J. staff

member within Town Hall for one day a week to

help support the Building Department taking in

applications and answer questions regarding the

applications.

So, again, we've assumed about 12 hours a

week total, not to exceed, and if we do see that

more time is warranted, we will bring that to the

attention of the Town and get authorization

before we over expend on what we've proposed here

as budget numbers.

else have discussion on this?

Discussion on this?

COUNCILMAN CURTISS: I think the ability

that this is a targeted situation, as stated, and

to get this done for $7,000 sounds like a very

reasonable and effective way to spend our money.

That's being very efficient in my mind.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: It is the first two

phases of a three-phase proposal. So, there

would be -- the third phase would come before the

Board once Phase 1 and Phase 2 are completed.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: Eric, for the

record, you probably want to just reiterate what

the first two phases cover so people understand

what we're doing.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Sure. I thought I

printed it out. Jenny, do you mind speaking

about that?

MS. LIPPMANN: Sure. No problem at all.

So, what we proposed, again, understanding the

financial constraints and unknowns right now, we

had originally put together a three-task proposal

which would prepare a report card of the existing

Comprehensive Plan, which again would bring us to

a point where we know what areas need to be

updated and then subsequent proposals would be

issued to the Town for consideration with a

better understanding of what needs to happen.

For right now, the $7,000 does include

Task 1 and Task 2, and Task 1 is what we are

calling project coordination. It consists of up

to four meetings to sit down with the Town and

establish the work plan essentially to move

forward with the Comprehensive Plan revision. It

helps set up a public engagement plan, and then

Task 2 is the public engagement piece, which is

required by state law to have a public engagement

and to have public hearings, so all of that would

be covered under Task 2.

Out of Task 1 and Task 2 we do expect to

put that with the vision that would be utilized

in any kind of revision to the Comprehensive Plan

which would then set you up for any revisions and

GEIS down the road as well. So, they are the

important first two steps that need to happen

before you can really go through that process.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: What is the --

refresh my memory, because I don't know how to

split the screen, but what is the cost of the

report card, which to me is kind of the most

important part? Why do the first two if you

don't produce the report card. So what was the

cost of the report card?

MS. LIPPMANN: The report card is an

additional $10,000. So, all in, Tasks 1, 2, and

3 is $17,000, and we had split that up as a way

to, at least at this point, get the ball rolling

as the Town has a better chance to evaluate how

the Covid-19 pandemic was going to affect

finances, and that was the reason we proposed at

least initiating Task 1 and Task 2 as more time

is able to pass and be able to reflect on when it

is appropriate to continue on.

COUNCILWOMAN STEWART: The cost sounds

reasonable. Chuck is right too. We're not

looking at exorbitant funds right here. My only

concern is that the first two tasks, without the

third, are kind of meaningless, and if we're

going to do it, we should commit to doing it,

because you get pretty much nothing towards a

review of the Comp Plan if you don't evaluate or

have some evaluation of the first -- I mean, the

first step is just an outline, it's just an

action plan. The second one is take the

information. If you don't know what you got out

of the first two steps, why are we doing it?

I understand it saves money, but we're

spending money to get nothing if we don't do the

third step.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Well, I wouldn't

view it as nothing. Step 2 is the public

engagement piece where we're reaching out to the

public and gathering data to see what the public

would like to see happen with the Town over the

next ten, 15, 20 years.

MS. LIPPMANN: Yes, Task 1 and Task 2 are

absolutely your foundation of what you need to

have to go on to Task 3, but I would agree with

you that if you're not getting the report card,

you're not getting that whole analysis until

we've completed Task 3, but as the Supervisor

stated, Task 2 is absolutely essential to the

foundation of the Comprehensive Plan, and it is

what needs to happen first.

So, again, we proposed those three tasks,

and we can either start off with Task 1 and Task

2 for now, or all three. We tried to be flexible

with the Town, given the current situation, in

how we proposed that.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: And the intention

is to go ahead at the next Town Board meeting or

two Board meetings or three Board meetings,

whenever we're ready, to do Step 3. That is the

intention.

The only thing that would really stop us

from doing that is if we got significant data

back from the county and the state that basically

freezes everything, and if that situation were to

happen, that's not going to be forever. So, Step

1 and Step 2 will be put to use. So, I don't

know. I would just disagree with you on this, I

guess.

the report card, let's say we're all in with the

three phases, what artifact would we have that --

I mean, would the Comprehensive Plan be updated

to reflect the new vision, the inclusion of the

comments from the residents, any updates that

were appropriate, and then going through the

county for adoption, public hearing or is it just

you've got a Grade X?

MS. LIPPMANN: So, unfortunately, after

Task 3, there is still work to be done before the

Comprehensive Plan has been updated and can be

adopted.

So what we -- there's really another fee

to the process, which would be evaluated once

we've gotten through Tasks 1 through 3 to

determine what effort is really needed on the

Comprehensive Plan. It may just be a couple

sections. It may be a much larger effort than

that. So, that gets determined after the

completion of Task 3. So, it is important to

note that that is not the complete package.

After that, there is still more work to be done.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: And we can't even

estimate how much that is until we're done,

correct?

MS. LIPPMANN: Yes. I don't want to

throw numbers at it because it can vary much

depending on what section and what level of

effort is required for each area and how much

work is required to bring it up to date.

So, we have said that those fees are to

be determined once we've evaluated the existing

Comprehensive Plan and determined how much effort

is required to update those sections.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: What's your

expected timeline for Phase 1 and 2 being

completed even with Covid?

MS. LIPPMANN: Just for comparison sake,

we had suggested about a six-month period for

Task 1 through 3. So really depending on the

public engagement approach selected by the Town,

I would expect that to be about a three-month

process approximately.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: For all three or

just --

MS. LIPPMANN: For Task 1 and Task 2.

You're looking at really probably a six-month for

Tasks 1 through 3.

Resolution 20-93: Consider Adopting and

Authorizing the Supervisor to sign Amendment

Number 2 to Owner/Engineering Agreement dated

February 27th, 2017, between the Town of Ballston

on behalf of the Ballston Lake Sewer District and

Adirondack Mountain Engineering, P.C. increasing

the overall contract amount by $109,322 to be

paid over the term of the Agreement for

additional construction administration, binding

[sic] services and construction inspection costs,

including WQIP grant funding requirements and

reporting.

Is there a motion?

Stewart, I think that was. Second?

COUNCILMEMBER ANTOSKI: Second.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: John seconded.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: John Antoski

seconded. Discussion on this?

COUNCILMAN ANTOSKI: It's bidding

services, correct? It mentioned binding

services, but it's printed as bidding services,

correct?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: It is printed as

bidding, if I misspoke, yes.

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: So this is

payment for the grant application that was

submitted that we subsequently got. Is this in

payment of services already rendered?

MS. KAELIN: Eric?


MS. KAELIN: Ed Hernandez is on the Zoom

call, so perhaps Ed can address those questions,

Peter, and any other that the Board has.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: I can break down

the money for everybody before Ed gets in. The

$109,322 breaks down this way: Engineering

construction administration cost, an increase of

80,000 there, bidding service is an increase of

15,000, and construction inspection is an

increase of 14,000 totaling the 109,322, but Ed

will comment on why those expenses are there and

why they're needed.

MR. HERNANDEZ: Can you hear me?

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Yes, we can.

MR. HERNANDEZ: This contract amendment

does several things. One, it allows us to move

forward with preparing the work needed to take

advantage of the WQIP $5 million grant. We need

to start working on that and getting the

information to DEC with the assumption that the

project is going to move forward. If it does

move forward, when it moves forward, we'll be

able to take advantage of that $5 million grant,

so we want to be working on that.

It allows us to keep, maintain monthly

reports and items that we need to provide to EFC

to maintain existing financing in place, and then

it also updates our budget that goes back to even

2016, and it increases it to allow us to manage

the five contractors. There is going to be

substantially more contractors on the project

than was anticipated, and it's going to just

update our hourly rates going back, now that

we're in 2020.

I don't expect -- most of this money is

for managing the project once construction

begins. Very little of it will be spent between

now and then, but it will allow us to maintain

and move forward with the grant and funding that

we currently have in place.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: And most of this

money is not going to be spent right away. It's

mainly being approved to help advance the grant,

the $5 million grant and doing some

administrative work until we can either break

ground or have a vote on a permissive referendum,

either/or, right?

MR. HERNANDEZ: That is correct. We'll

be spending very little money. In fact, I'd be

surprised to spend more than a few thousand

dollars between now and when we actually move

forward with construction. Obviously it depends

on how much time it takes, but the majority of

this is just to put us in a place where we're

prepared to move forward should the permissive

referendum pass, and it also allows us to

maintain the current funding and take advantage

of the $5 million grant should that get approved.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Right, if it

happens. Just so the public knows, I'm putting

the finishing touches on, I think it's a

six-minute long video that is updating the public

on where we're currently at and the different

paths forward that could exist, and I'm having Ed

and our attorneys, everybody look at the video

before it goes out. So, expect that in the next

couple days.

I do want to comment on, you know, we did

talk to some other engineering firms, and there

was some ideas about possibly have a second

engineering firm come in and handle some of these

tasks, but after I had lengthy discussions with

Dick Doyle, who has extensive background and

history working with large septic system

installations, and Dan from the county, from

Saratoga County Sewer District, what they shared

with me was that if you have two engineering

firms working on a large project like this with

multiple pieces, it can create -- if anything

goes wrong, it can create a fairly negative

situation where one engineering firm is blaming

the other engineering firm and everybody points

fingers, and you end up with a situation where

you have less accountability.

I am confident in talking with Ed and

talking to lots of people who have worked with Ed

on the county level and big projects that he's

worked on, much bigger than this one, that he has

the skill set and his firm has the skill set to

pull this thing off or I wouldn't be putting this

forward for the Board to consider.

So, just wanted to supply some of the

background as, number one, why is this on the

agenda, and what the logic is behind it.

Is there any other discussion?

(No response.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Okay. All in

favor?

Greg Winkler as a member of the Ethics Board

Committee beginning April 14th, 2020, and ending

December 31st, 2024.

Is there a motion?



Stewart. Second was who?

COUNCILMAN ANTOSKI: I'll second.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Any discussion?

(No response.)

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: I forwarded his

resume to everybody. Hopefully you got a chance

to look at that, but very similar to our last

addition to the Ethics Committee, Mr. Winkler has

extensive knowledge and background in medicine

and ethics and following procedures to the T.

He has a lot of dealings with the organ

transplant department, and can you imagine the

regulations and attention to detail that has to

happen there. So, I met with him for about an

hour, and I just felt that he would be a really

good fit for the Ethics Committee.

Any other comments or discussion?

through his resume. It is impressive. So glad

that we're starting to get some involvement in

the other committees, so.

SUPERVISOR CONNOLLY: Yes. And hopefully

we won't keep the Ethics Committee busy, and I'm

hoping that I can convince both Ian and Greg to

get involved in the Targeted Comp Plan or any

other thing that is going on in the Town since

they both have a lot of skill, so we'll see.

If there's no more discussion, we'll go

ahead and vote.

(No response.)


(Response of aye.)


(No response.)


All right. Normally we would have privilege of

the floor, but we are paying by the page, so if

you do have anything that you would like to

comment on, please send me an e-mail. I will get

back to you or you can try calling the office

number. It takes me a little longer to get back

to the phone calls, but I will do that.

it is 7:43. Can I get a motion to adjourn?

COUNCILMEMBER SOLBERG: So moved.
