2 A motion was made by Councilwoman Stewart and seconded by Councilman Curtiss. CORRESPONDENCE The Clerk received no correspondence for April. A presentation was given by the new Summer Rec Program Director, Andrew Haluska. Mr. Haluska is a 5 th grade teacher at Charlton Heights Elementary School. This is his first year with the program. The program consists of children from three towns, Ballston, Glenville and Charlton. There are many changes this year. The hiring process is the biggest change. Now, there is an application and hiring process. There are 95 applicants and only 20 positions to be filled. The program will be at Charlton Heights Elementary School this year. Students will have opportunities such as swimming lessons and field trips. Currently, there are 115 children registered, 61 are from the Town of Ballston. The biggest challenge is the cost of bussing. We still provide bus transportation for children to and from the program throughout the community. The buses are contracted through the school district and we are charged per mile. This takes up a large portion of the budget; however, he feels it is important to offer this service. Registration is still open. FINANCIAL REPORT Jeanette Borthwick, financial administrator discussed how the Town is funded. On the website is the 2018 budget. There are three funds General A, B, and Highway that are funded through sales tax revenue and mortgage tax revenue. The three funds are approximately $3.8 million dollars that is budgeted for $2.8 million of that is going to be funded through sales tax. And.4 million dollars is mortgage tax. Theses revenues are not a property tax revenue and fund approximately 85% of these three budgets. Saratoga County collects sales tax and 50% is dispersed to the municipalities in Saratoga County. The amount given is the assessed value in each municipality. Town of Ballston has done well in sales tax over the last five years due to development growth. Each year there is a new assessed value. All other districts such as the library, lighting, water, and sewer are specific districts and are shown as a separate line item on your county tax bill. RESOLUTION APPROVE THE SUPERVISOR S FINANCIAL REPORT FOR APRIL A motion was made by Councilman Goslin and seconded by Councilman Curtiss. SUPERVISOR S REPORT Supervisor Szczepaniak stated he attended the County Public Safety Meeting. 820 calls within 4 hours were received by the eight operators at the sheriff s department during the storm that passed through the area last Friday evening. An average of 3.2 calls per minute. COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS Councilman Curtiss stated he attended the Emergency Management Committee Meeting last month and a lot of material was discussed. There seems to be a problem with communication flow, and a few snags in the system. The Committee will meet again next week. Farmland Protection Committee is preparing for the parade next month. Councilwoman Stewart stated that the 2017 court audit has been completed. As liaison to the Parks and Rec Committee, she stated the report from C.T. Male on the structures at Fireman s Grove is completed and they recommend replacing the columns before the Town rents out the pavilion due to liability issues. Estimates will be needed for these repairs. The Personnel Committee met and she wanted to thank the two people who are volunteering for the alternate positions on the Planning Board. She also stated that there is a resolution on this evening for a donation to Saratoga PLAN. Saratoga PLAN trail stewards have done a lot of work at Anchor Diamond Park.

3 Keating, and Larry Felpel. Councilman Antoski asked for an update on the gas station on the corner of Lake Hill Road and Route 50. Building Inspector Brian Theriault replied that the owner had to renew his building permit and work has begun to put the tanks in the hole. Councilman Antoski also asked who do we contact regarding traffic at the intersection of Lake Hill Road and Route 50 and Janet V Corners? Town Engineer, Kathryn Serra stated DOT is contacted on any new projects in towns. They (the State) have acknowledged that there needs to be modifications at these locations such as a roundabout; however, there is no State money. Councilman Antoski stated he submitted the cost of the sidewalk for the SAM grant and received a call that he needs to ask for the entire $100,000 and not the $98,000 as originally submitted; therefore, he will change the amount and will resubmit. The additional $50,000 grant to be used for sidewalks on Thomas Avenue needs to be discussed on how to take care of it. Homeowners may need to be spoken to about maintaining. Councilman Goslin asked to enter Executive Session at the end of the meeting to discuss the telephone contract and an additional contractual issue. Supervisor Szczepaniak stated he also had a contract issue and a personnel issue to discuss. Councilman Curtiss stated he noticed the parking lot has no more white lines. How is this handled? Highway Superintendent Joe Whalen is taking care of this. The parking lot may need to be resurfaced in the future too. Mr. Whalen sent some information to the chairman of the Emergency Management Committee to have Town Hall and the library designated as emergency shelters. These places must be inspected if they are going to be designated as emergency shelters. If not, no money will be reimbursed by the government or FEMA for any expenses incurred. Mr. Whalen commented on the traffic at certain intersections in Town stating that the Boards can go to the developers that are increasing the traffic and require upgrades that are needed. The Supervisor asked Councilman Curtiss the status on a cleaning contract. Councilman Curtiss had no update. The Supervisor stated we do not have a current contract and asked Mr. Curtiss to give the Board a recommendation on how to proceed. REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICIALS Highway/Water Superintendent Joseph Whalen, Dog Control Officer Thomas Shambo, Brian Theriault Building Inspector and Town Clerk Carol Gumienny submitted reports for April 2018 and they are on file in the Town Clerk s office. LIBRARY REPORT Trustee Susan Tomlinson gave the following report: The entry, book drop closet, and community room of the library experienced flooding due to a leaking water fountain on Sunday, May 6. Many thanks to the patron who reported the water when returning library materials to the book drop. Thank you also to Joe Whalen and the Burnt Hills Fire Department for responding to the scene, and Mr. Help for continuing the clean-up efforts on Sunday. The library is working with the insurance company and various contractors to determine what repairs are needed to the building. Inventory is being made of all affected library materials, including those owned by other libraries. Repairs and replacements will be completed as needed. Due to efforts of staff on Sunday and Monday, the library was open for business as usual on Monday morning! The library is hosting some excellent programs this month including: A conversation with author of Survivor Café, Elizabeth Rosner, on May 14 at 6:30 p.m. Earth Day Every Day: Composting 101 on May 15 at 7:00 p.m. Introduction to Bullet Journaling on May 24 at 6:30 p.m. BALLSTON LAKE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCATION Dr. Pierce reported that he received the yearly CSLAP (Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program) report from DEC. Ballston Lake has participated in this since the 1980s. The ph. level in the Lake has stayed constant the last ten years which is a good sign. The algae bloom that we had last summer in the Lake did not release any microsystems. The Committee sent a water use survey to Ballston Lake residents; 100 were returned. 25 residences use Ballston Lake as their drinking water. He sent an to Highway Superintendent Joe Whalen to see if the Town is interested in

4 dealing with the trash that blows out of the trash cans at the fishing pier and the kayak launch. Dr. Pierce suggested posting signs that state carry in carry out your trash near the fishing pier and remove the garbage cans. The Supervisor didn t think removing the cans would be a good idea. Councilman Curtiss stated posting signs is done this way at most places. It was discussed and agreed to post the signs and leave the garbage cans. FARMLAND PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION COMMITTEE Chairman Scott Draina reported the committee is working on the float for the Flag Day parade. OLD BUSINESS Zoning Update The Supervisor stated that Sophia Marruso is working with the Town Board on the zoning changes. The next workshop is after the May 29 th Agenda Meeting. Carpenter s Acres Sewer Councilman Goslin stated we will move forward with the Map, Plan and Report that was approved prior for gravity sewers. A public referendum will occur in the near future. Councilman Goslin commented on the Route 50 sewer vote by thanking all members involved especially the Town Clerk s office, the town attorney, and the assessor. Many people don t realize the amount of work and effort that goes into a special election. He was very impressed with the professionalism of the vote and the people who work at Town Hall. Mr. Goslin also thanked the Sewer Committee members that were involved in all the public sessions and supplied documents and other related work to get the information out to the public. He also thanked the project manager, the engineer and legal counsel for answering numerous questions from the public. Councilman Goslin stated that the vote was a great turnout, probably the largest turnout of its kind. The proposal was defeated 4-1. When the Board made the decision not to have a Board vote for sewers on Route 50, and allow the voters to decide, that was the right thing to do. The process has worked and the people have spoken. In his opinion, there is a cost and a benefit for sewers; the cost to the parcel owners far outweigh any benefit. This was loud and clear as well as no large development is wanted on Route 50. His opinion of sewers is only his personal opinion; he is here to represent the people who do not want development in the Burnt Hills hamlet. Supervisor Szczepaniak stated that there are a lot of people on edge wondering what is next for Route 50 sewers. To put people at ease, the Board is not discussing anything. The vote was very clear and it is over; now it s time to move on. There are a lot of good things happening in Town such as a new park, the fire department celebrating their 100-year anniversary, the new CVS and Stewarts. Privilege of the floor on items for consideration and action this evening (limit 5 minutes) Kelly Jasinski of Middeline Road stated regarding Resolution 18-96, she asked why have an Older American s Month? She then jokingly stated personally, she needs the whole year! The Supervisor stated it is in conjunction with what the County recognizes. Ms. Jasinski also inquired where the money for the $2,500 donation to Saratoga PLAN (Resolution 101) is coming from? It was replied the general fund. She also stated Peter Solberg will do a great job as an Alternate Planning Board member (Resolution ) NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION AND ACTION THIS EVENING RESOLUTION APPROVE THE MONTH OF MAY AS OLDER AMERICAN S MONTH IN THE TOWN OF BALLSTON.

The town attorney recommended that Councilman Curtiss recuse from the vote. RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE REQUIRED ANNUAL COURT AUDIT WAS PERFORMED FOR A motion was made by Councilman Goslin and seconded by Councilman Curtiss. Privilege of the floor (limit 5 minutes) Paul Simpson stated regarding the previous statement made about traffic on Route 67 and Lakehill and Route 50, every time a developer presents a project to any Board, they present a traffic study by Creighton Manning that reports, no impact on this particular development. He thinks there

8 needs to be a realistic traffic survey. They state no impact, but when any of us drive the roads it s a different story. The result does not show it. Peter Solberg of Charlton Road stated that he appreciates the agenda being on the web prior to the meeting; however, it is sparse and lacks description. It is hard for him to understand some of the resolutions and provide his feedback at the time it is needed. He doesn t have a suggestion how to improve it. He feels the prep of the agenda should be more fruitful so people can understand and be able to comment if needed. The Supervisor stated that there is room for improvement. Mr. Solberg also stated the rotary is a hot topic and a significant hinderance. He does not think we should expect to wait for a developer to come to Town to develop something and have them be burdened with this expense. There is a natural growth to our Town due to Glenville s development and the Town being a thoroughfare to Saratoga and the casino. Can the school district look at amount of gas used by the buses driving kids back and forth from middle school to high school? The buses significantly hinder the impact of how people get to work at this intersection (Lakehill Road and Route 50). There are other creative ways to look at to how to pay for rotaries than depend on state funding. If there was an increase in tax, what would it look like? Would a rotary decease the gas usage for the buses? Would it increase the availability of businesses in that area? Scott Draina of Outlet Road stated in January the Board decided to hire a PR firm and wondered what they are have done for us. Supervisor Szczepaniak stated that he receives a monthly report and would be happy to supply it. Mr. Draina stated it would be helpful to report this during the monthly Board meeting. He also stated that people in this Town have been stating for a long time, that they do not want any more large development, why did it take a sewer vote for Board members to realize this? Dr. Pierce of Lake Road asked for an update on Dolomite. The Supervisor stated it is still in litigation. Carl Thurnau of Woodside Drive wished good luck to the two new Planning Board members. Mr. Thurnau stated the traffic will be worse when CVS opens in June. The main entrance is on Lakehill Road. He never liked this project. The Manning traffic report for CVS was atrocious; it was taken in December. He did his own traffic report with the school buses and the Planning Board did not listen. The Board of Fire Commissioners did not listen either. Mr. Thurnau does not think the State will put in a roundabout; he has yet to see how pedestrians get across a roundabout. Regarding the sewer vote, Mr. Thurnau is not in the district, he stated that there have been two referendums in this Town where people have stated overwhelmingly that they like the rural area. The pressure is coming to us and the Planning Board will suffer. This Town will become very politically active. There is a new wave coming to Town. Frank Rossi, Jr. of Constitutional Court, feels he needs to defend the traffic engineering firms and he stated most people have no idea what happens behind and in front of the scenes with these traffic studies. BFJ did the traffic study for the Rossi PUDD and it was dissected 92 different ways, modifications were made and their study was backed up by numerous engineers, all coming to the same conclusions. Questioning their methodologies is short sited and at the end of the day these firms do the best they can. Steve Walsh of Kingsley Road asked who to contact to replace the street light that has been out on his street for some time. The contact person is the Highway Superintendent. He also inquired who is doing a traffic study on Kingsley Road? The Town Engineer or Board was not aware of any. It could be the school district, or maybe the County. Mr. Walsh stated that the traffic on Route 50 is concerning. How do we get a moratorium to halt development? Supervisor Szczepaniak stated that the Board has discussed a moratorium numerous times and opted not to do one. Numerous public zoning workshops and public hearings were held last year on all the proposed zoning changes. Kelly Jasinski of Middleline Road, stated a lot of time, effort and money has been spent on the Route 50 sewer vote and now that this is over, she would like to see the Town get back on track with water infrastructure as a priority. The Katz proposal needs sewer and water as well as the Spinney Group. Her concern is sewers being extended into the middle Town. The PUDDs need to go; they bring in development. If you drive up Route 50, the only part of it that has rural character is the middle of our Town; this is our asset. RESOLUTION

9 ENTER INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THREE (3) CONTRACTS AND A PERSONNEL ISSUE. A motion was made by Councilman Antoski and seconded by Councilwoman Stewart. The Supervisor stated prior that there is no expected action on these items to be discussed in Executive Session. The Board entered Executive Session at 8:55 p.m. A motion was made by Councilman Goslin and seconded by Councilwoman Stewart to adjourn the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Carol A. Gumienny Town Clerk
