SUPERVISOR’S REPORT - Steve Robelotto

·We started out the December with the worst Ice Storm we have ever had. Most of our Town was without power for 5 days. Clean up is still going on and will continue into the spring. I would again like to thank all the people who helped or donated food so we could get through that long 5 days. A lot was learned from this storm and we will be reviewing our plan and expect to make changes. If you suspect there is a Town wide problem tune to WGY 810 on your radio or contact your local fire station for information. The lawyers and I also met with the Rite Aid developer and the Town Engineer to discuss some items and try to speed up the process to get this project back on track.

·I would like again to remind all 3 ”of snow or more is a snow emergency, which will be broadcast on our channel and channel 9 and 10. During a snow emergency there is no parking on the pavement. We will be ticketing and towing. I have received a few calls from people saying their road was not plowed yet. When they plow during a storm it takes about 3.5 to 4 hours to make a complete round, if it’s snowing 1-3” per hour there will be a build up by the time they get back to you. They are out there plowing; it just takes time.

·The sewer project for Burden Lake is progressing; they have gone up 2nd Dyke Road and are on North Nassau Road now.

·We are looking into bonding the new dump truck. With interest rates as low as they are it might be cheaper to bond than to pay cash.

·We will be receiving the Court improvement grant again this year. This will be used to improve lighting in the parking lot, which was one of the items from our inspection that needed improvement.

·I am looking to have our first committee meeting this January to set up rules and regulations for our Community Van to begin operation sometime in the spring.

SAND LAKE VOLUNTEERISM AT ITS BEST

December 12th, 2008, the Town of Sand Lake experienced a devastating Ice Storm. Our Supervisor quickly assessed the situation and declared a State of Emergency for our town.

It was a tire-less effort for so many who serve our Town on a volunteer level. Many were responding to calls to help other families when they were concerned about their own families and homes. Their acts were selfless.

A shelter was established at Averill Park Fire House where so many people donated their time and talent. I want to thank all of them but am always concerned I would forget someone. PLEASE FORGIVE ME IN ADVANCE.

To Supervisor Robelotto for his swift action to asscess the situation and call a State of Emergency. On the County level Kathy Jimino, Chris Meyer and Rich Crist who helped me make the necessary contacts to get the supplies that were needed, to Joe Cybuski who made sure our seniors in the ROUSE unit were transported and cared for. On a local level to Dave Fleming from the Town of Nassau who helped us obtain dry ice.

All of the volunteers who serve our community tirelessly; the Firemen, the Emergency Service crew drivers, EMTS, Medics and First Responders. The wives of firemen and the Women’s Auxiliary who cooked, cleaned and served at the shelter three meals a day up to or in excess of 80. The Explorers who until now, I did not know existed, they are our future.

The 911 dispatchers, power crews from across the nation, the National Red Cross, nurses, some of which stayed the whole weekend, the Explorers, residents and business people with both the time and equipment. Our spontaneously appointed Shelter Manager who also stayed the entire time the shelter was open. The Youth Director who still came in and provided much need activities for the children.

Miller’s, AJ’s and The Lakeview who wanted to keep our volunteer emergency crews fed.

COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS:

·Barbara Martinage regarding the Senior Van

Here is a recap of my comments to the Board last night for inclusion in the minutes.

I am publicly presenting a copy of my response to a letter Mr. Robelotto sent to Rev. Pat Bush with cc to SLACC, Kiwanis and Doors of Hope. I invite Board Members to read this response and to evaluate the documentation provided thereto. Secondly, I invite the Board to provide a copy of all minutes and resolutions pertaining to this Member Item specifically any resolution authorizing the purchase of an 8 passenger van rather than the 12 passenger handicapped van requested. There is some question as to whether an 8 passenger van can be retrofitted to be made handicapped accessible. Finally, I would appreciate notification as to how the matter will be resolved including how the original collaborators will be included in the process.

I am tired of being invited to be patient. I have been patient since May of 2005.

I am tired of abrogated agreements and agreed to action steps not taken.

I am tired of receiving conflicting information.

I am pleased that by virtue of Mr. Robelotto’s letter, the issue can now be addressed in the public arena.

·I had two meetings with FEMA and SEMO in the past few weeks. We are putting together our expenses for the storm in December. The Town will be getting back 87.5% of our costs. Final clean up of our roads will start towards the end of March weather permitting. This clean up is expected to take approximately 4-6 weeks.

There will also be a couple of Saturdays in April that the garage will be open. We will announce the dates when they become available. We can only accept brush, limbs and tree debris. Please no wood or garbage.

·The Community Van will be in service the end of March or the beginning of April. The committee has the rules completed and are working on a brochure to pass out.

I would again like to thank past Senator Joe Bruno and Senator Roy McDonald for all their help in acquiring this much-needed service to our community.

·During February, 3 Council people and myself attended the annual Associations of Towns Conference. We spoke to a company about the playground and equipment to reconstruct our kid’s section. I hope to have this project done by the beginning of May. We also attended several classes concerning the stimulus monies that will be available. I will be applying for 8-10 different projects in Town after the resolution is voted on tonight. ·Kathy Allard, Paul Splain and I attended the Planning Board meeting March 4th concerning the Rite Aid project. After much discussion of items not addressed yet the Board voted 6-1 not to hold an optional Public Hearing. With all corrections and DOT approval hopefully this project will move ahead after the March 18th meeting.

·Thanks to the work of Judy Goodyer and her staff, the State will be sending us a check for $19,119.80 for completing our long overdue reassessment.

WHEREAS, the Town of Sand Lake, Rensselaer County, New York (the “xs”) is considering undertaking: (i) to issue its general obligation serial bonds in the principal amount of approximately $470,000 (the “ø=”) in order to finance all or a portion of the cost of acquisition, construction and equipping of the project described in the following paragraph (the “bâì”), and (ii) to acquire, construct and install the Project, or cause the Project to be acquired, constructed and equipped pursuant to the Local Finance Law; and

WHEREAS, the Project consists of the acquisition, construction and installation of a low pressure grinder pump system serving the residents located within the portion of the existing Town of Sand Lake Sanitary Sewer District No. 1 consisting of the properties along Burden Lake Road from the existing manhole MH 37 (installed as part of Contract No. 5 in 1977), which is located in the travel lane of Burden Lake Road approximately 810 feet north of the intersection of Brook Spring Avenue and Burden Lake Road, proceeding south to the intersection of Burden Lake Road and Brook Spring Avenue Down, then easterly along Brook Spring Avenue to the intersection of Andrew Way, and northerly along Andrew Way until its end; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law, Chapter 43-B of the Consolidated Laws of New York, as amended (the “>Act”) and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York, being 6 NYCRR Part 617, as amended (the “.pqó”), the Town desires to determine whether the construction and equipping of the Project may have a “qsóeffect on the environment” (as said quoted term is defined in the SEQR Act and the Regulations) and therefore require the preparation of an environmental impact statement; and

WHEREAS, to aid the Town in determining whether the construction and equipping of the Project may have a significant effect upon the environment, the Town has prepared an environmental assessment form (the “ê”), a copy of which was reviewed by the Town at this meeting and copies of which are on file at the Town Clerk’s office; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Regulations, the Town has examined the EAF in order to make an initial determination as to the potential environmental significance of the Project; and

WHEREAS, the Project does not appear to constitute a “pI Action” (as said quoted term is defined in the Regulations), and therefore coordinated review and notification is optional with respect to the actions contemplated by the Town with respect to the Project; and

WHEREAS, the Town desires to make its initial determination of significance with respect to the Project and to give widespread public notice of said determination to afford an opportunity for public response and ascertainment of any other involved agencies;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF SAND LAKE, RENSSELAER COUNTY, NEW YORK AS FOLLOWS:

(1) Based upon an examination of the EAF, and based further upon the Town’s knowledge of the area surrounding the Project and such further investigation of the Project and its environmental effects as the Town has deemed appropriate, the Town makes the following findings with respect to the Project:

(A) The Project consists of the acquisition, construction and installation of a low pressure grinder pump system serving the residents located within the portion of the existing Town of Sand Lake Sanitary Sewer District No. 1 consisting of the properties along Burden Lake Road from the existing manhole MH 37 (installed as part of Contract No. 5 in 1977), which is located in the travel lane of Burden Lake Road approximately 810 feet north of the intersection of Brook Spring Ave. and Burden Lake Road, proceeding south to the intersection of Burden Lake Road and Brook Spring Avenue Down, then easterly along Brook Spring Avenue to the intersection of Andrew Way, and northerly along Andrew Way until its end.

(B) No potentially significant impacts on the environment are noted in the EAF, and none are known to the Town.

(2) Based upon the foregoing investigation of the potential environmental impacts of the Project and considering both the magnitude and importance of each environmental impact therein indicated, the Town makes the following findings and determinations with respect to the Project;

(A) The Project constitutes an “sqwíAction ”(as said quoted term is defined in the Regulations) and therefore coordinated review and notification of other involved agencies is strictly optional:

(B) The Town determines to undertake coordinated review, notwithstanding that it is optional, and to act as lead agency in such review.

(C)The Project will result in no major impacts and, therefore, is one which will not cause significant damage to the environment. Therefore, the Town hereby determines that the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment, and the Town will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement with respect to the Project; and

(D)As a consequence of the foregoing, the Town has decided to prepare a negative declaration with respect to the Project.

SUPERVISOR’S REPORT - Steve Robelotto

·During the month much of my time was spent at the new playground. The sewer and highway department spent many hours installing the new equipment and landscaping the site.

·I met with SEMO twice more in June and we are wrapping up the paper work to close out the storm project. It looks like we should have a check sometime in September.

·Our Community Van has transported its first senior to the Doctor and all went well.

·Our engineer Mark Kestner will have a report on the West side of Burden Lake sewer project and also the East side which we trying to finish up.

·As far as stimulus monies go we have 3 or 4 refusals already. After checking around Towns have not received any monies yet. We were told at the Association of Towns meeting that Towns, Counties then Cities would get their share but that did not happen. I do not have much faith in getting any funding through this process.

·I would like to remind everyone that silly season has begun. If you have any questions about what you read or hear please feel free to call my office 674 2026 Ext. 12.

·I would like to thank all the Fire Departments that responded to the Town Hall Tuesday for an electrical fire which could have been much worse than it was. The employees that were still at work and Chief Glasser did a great job in keeping the damage minimal.

·Congratulations to our attorney Donna Cole-Paul for becoming a partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC and Chairman of the Firms Trusts and Estates Litigation Department.

SUPERVISOR’S REPORT - Steve Robelotto

·We have received 5 denials for stimulus monies for projects turned in. I do not anticipate our Town receiving any further funding. The Towns in upstate NY did not fare well in this program. However we are getting funds for the sewer district at a greatly reduced interest rate.

·I received our Blue books from SEMO for the ice storm in December 2008. They have been signed and returned. We should be getting about $300,000.

·Because of a large cleanup effort we have a huge supply of wood chips. Any residents, who would like some, can pick them up in front of the Town Garage on Springer Road. ·The solar powered parking lot lights should be in any day now. They will be installed as soon as the Highway Dept. gets a break. We will be seeking more lights to finish the Town Court parking lot with another grant that has become available to us.

·Mark Kestner, our Town engineer will have an update on our progress with the Averill Park Central School System and our water project. He will also update the progress to finish the sewer line on the West side of Burden Lake.

·I would like to thank our Highway Department for the quick action taken when part of Bauer Road washed out during the heavy rains last week.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law, Chapter 43-B of the Consolidated Laws of New York, as amended (the “SEQR Act”) and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York, being 6 NYCRR Part 617, as amended (the “Regulations”), the Town is required to determine whether the construction and equipping of the Project may have a “significant effect on the environment” (as said quoted term is defined in the SEQR Act and the Regulations) and therefore require the preparation of an environmental impact statement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Regulations, the Town has examined the EAF in order to make an initial determination as to the potential environmental significance of the Project; and

WHEREAS, the Project does not appear to constitute a “Type I Action” (as said quoted term is defined in the Regulations), and therefore coordinated review and notification is optional with respect to the actions contemplated by the Town with respect to the Project; and

·I have met with SEMO again to start close out proceedings from the ice storm of 2008. We have received approximately $240,000 already and expect a couple more checks soon.

·Today, Paul Splain, Pat Stevens and I met with a representative from a broadband company; Paul will have a report on the meeting.

·We will be receiving a 0% BAN for finishing construction of the West side of the Burden Lake sewer system. After completion of the system we will have a 1.02% long term Bond. This is the first benefit we received from the stimulus funding.

·I am now working with a representative from Monolith Solar Associates to install solar power at the Town Highway garage at no cost to the taxpayer. This will generate an instant savings to the taxpayer.

·I have met with school officials and police agencies on the growing drug problem with our youth. A coalition will be formed to study different avenues to address the problem. All studies to date show that this would increase taxes not decrease them.

WHEREAS, Sand Lake has an existing sewer district and sewer facilities that are currently being expanded in the area of Burden Lake adjacent to the municipal boundary line between Sand Lake and Nassau; and

WHEREAS, Nassau has recently formed a sewer district for the Nassau side of the Burden Lake area (hereinafter referred to as the “:s Sewer District”) and has proposed a project consisting of the installation of a low pressure grinder pump sanitary sewer collection system to be connected to the Town of Sand Lake Sewer District No. 1 (hereinafter referred to as the “:=Lake Sewer District”) collection system for eventual final treatment at the Rensselaer County Treatment Plant; and

WHEREAS, Nassau and Sand Lake have collaborated on and cooperated in this effort to provide a sanitary sewer system for the Burden Lake area of both Towns but have as yet not formalized this arrangement in writing; and

WHEREAS, Nassau and Sand Lake wish to enter into this Agreement to formalize the terms, conditions and obligations of each Town with respect to above-described sewer system and services;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. The intent and purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the basic terms of the arrangement between Nassau and Sand Lake so that a sanitary sewer system can effectively serve the residents and property owners of both Towns in and around the Burden Lake area. This Agreement is necessary to extend sewer service into Nassau so that Nassau can proceed with its proposed sewer project that is designed to connect to the existing system located in Sand Lake. As the Nassau Sewer District project proceeds further into the agency review, financing application and construction phases, the terms of this Agreement may be modified or supplemented as necessary or appropriate.

Section 2. Sand Lake hereby grants consent and authorization to Nassau to connect the low pressure grinder pump sanitary sewer collection system that is presently proposed for the Nassau Sewer District to the sanitary sewer system that serves the Sand Lake Sewer District for eventual treatment at the Rensselaer County sewer treatment plant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3. Nassau shall have the responsibility and obligation to pay for the total cost of the planning, permit and financing process and installation of the sewer improvements proposed for the Nassau Sewer District and Sand Lake shall not be responsible to pay for any such costs attributable to the implementation of the Nassau Sewer District improvements. Sand Lake shall have the responsibility and obligation to pay for the total cost of the planning, permit and financing process and installation of any sewer improvements proposed for the Sand Lake Sewer District and Nassau shall not be responsible to pay for any such costs attributable to the implementation of the Sand Lake Sewer District improvements. Where services, materials or costs are necessary or attributable to the planning, permitting and installation of improvements for both the Nassau and Sand Lake Sewer Districts, such services, materials and costs may be shared by both Nassau and Sand Lake on a pro rata basis pursuant to specific agreement or arrangement of Nassau and Sand Lake to be negotiated as close as possible prior to the occurrence of any costs.

Section 4. It is both Towns’ understanding that the sewer improvements proposed for the Nassau Sewer District have been designed to be compatible with the Sand Lake Sewer District system, Nassau’s authorization to connect its Sewer District improvements to the Sand Lake District system is conditioned upon the following:

A. That the sewer improvements that will be installed for Nassau Sewer District shall be compatible with the Sand Lake Sewer District system. If any changes to the design of the proposed Nassau Sewer District improvements are made that will affect the compatibility with the Sand Lake Sewer District system, such design changes must be provided to, and approved by, Sand Lake before connection.

B. That Nassau receives funding and all regulatory approvals for construction and implementation of the proposed sewer improvements and system.

C. That Nassau provide Sand Lake with written notice when and if the proposed improvements for the Nassau Sewer District have been approved by the regulatory agencies and at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to commencement of construction of the approved improvements and prior to connection to the Sand Lake Sewer District system.

D. That prior to operation of the Nassau Sewer District improvements, Nassau shall adopt a sewer use ordinance, law or regulations which restrict, prohibit and regulate the wastewater flows in the Nassau Sewer District consistent with the regulations of Sand Lake and County of Rensselaer as such regulations relate to wastewater flows in the Sand Lake Sewer District system and Rensselaer County treatment plant.

Section 5. Once installed and operational, Nassau shall be responsible to maintain at its cost the Nassau Sewer District system and improvements in good repair and in good operational condition pursuant to the design specifications of such system.

Section 6. Nassau shall be responsible to collect user fees, taxes and/or sewer rents sufficient to pay the costs attributable to the construction, operation, and maintenance and financing of the Nassau Sewer District improvements and operation. Sand Lake shall not be responsible for any costs attributable to the construction, operation, and maintenance and financing of the Nassau Sewer District improvements and operation or for the collection of any fees, rents or taxes for the payment of such costs.

Section 7. For each year of operation of the Nassau Sewer District system, Nassau shall pay to Sand Lake a sum in the amount equal to $25.00 per equivalent dwelling unit or EDU contained within the Nassau Sewer District as the transportation fee in order to cover Sand Lake’s cost in this regard for the first year of operation. For purposes of this Agreement, the EDU will be calculated as 0.5 equivalent dwelling units for a vacant parcel, 1.0 unit for a single family residence or seasonal dwelling and multifamily structures will be assigned 1.0 equivalent dwelling unit per residential unit. The transportation fee charged by Sand Lake may be adjusted from time to time, but no less than, on an annual basis so that it represents reimbursement to Sand Lake for the additional costs incurred by Sand Lake in allowing connection of the Nassau Sewer District system. After the first year of implementation by Nassau, the amount paid to Sand Lake shall increase in an amount equal to the COLA index for the State of New York which shall be added to the base amount of the prior year’s cost. Sand Lake shall provide Nassau notice of any changes to said fee at least ninety (90) days prior to the date when Nassau sends out bills or statements to Nassau Sewer District property owners.

Said fee is currently $127.50 per EDU annually and Nassau shall be responsible for the payment of such fee in the amount charged by Rensselaer County each year as the amount of such fee may change from time to time. Sand Lake shall have no responsibility for said cost if Nassau fails to provide payment therefore.

Section 9. If in the event Nassau shall not provide payment to the county or to Sand Lake, Sand Lake shall be entitled to costs associated with the collection of said fees, including but not limited to; court costs, attorney’s fees and/or interest or penalties associated with the non-payment by Nassau. If in the event Nassau is insolvent and unable to provide payment, Sand Lake shall reserve the right to terminate the connections established in Nassau and/or receive the rents directly from the residents of Nassau through a billing system for Sand Lake’s portion of the rental obligation .

Section 10. Nassau shall notify Sand Lake of any proposed extension of the Nassau Sewer District or the system for said District and any such extension must first be approved by Sand Lake before such extension is implemented. Approval by Sand Lake shall be limited to whether such extension and additional wastewater flows is consistent with, and can be handled by, the Sand Lake Sewer District system and capacity of the Rensselaer County treatment plant.

Section 11. Nassau and Sand Lake hereby agree to cooperate each with the other in connection with any applications for Federal, State, County or local approvals or financing, and with any requests from governmental agencies for confirmation or written documentation regarding either the Nassau Sewer District and/or proposed sewer improvements or the Sand Lake Sewer District and its sewer system.

Section 12. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties and may be modified at any time for any reason so long as both parties agree to said modification, however all changes, modifications or supplements shall be in writing and executed by the parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this instrument by their Supervisors and caused their official seals to be affixed pursuant to resolutions adopted by their Town Boards, copies of which are annexed hereto.

SUPERVISOR’S REPORT - Steve Robelotto ·We started out the December with the worst Ice Storm we have ever had. Most of our Town was without power for 5 days. Clean up is still going on and will continue into the spring. I would again like to thank all the people who helped or donated food so we could get through that long 5 days. A lot was learned from this storm and we will be reviewing our plan and expect to make changes. If you suspect there is a Town wide problem tune to WGY 810 on your radio or contact your local fire station for information. The lawyers and I also met with the Rite Aid developer and the Town Engineer to discuss some items and try to speed up the process to get this project back on track.

·The sewer project for Burden Lake is progressing; they have gone up 2nd Dyke Road and are on North Nassau Road now.

·We are looking into bonding the new dump truck. With interest rates as low as they are it might be cheaper to bond than to pay cash.

·We will be receiving the Court improvement grant again this year. This will be used to improve lighting in the parking lot, which was one of the items from our inspection that needed improvement.

·I am looking to have our first committee meeting this January to set up rules and regulations for our Community Van to begin operation sometime in the spring.

SUPERVISOR’S REPORT - Steve Robelotto

·During the month I received a letter from the Department of State declaring that the purchase of the Community Service Van was done correctly according to all parties involved, and that handicap does not necessarily mean wheel chair equipped. Now that the letter has been received the rest of the member item monies will be released. ·I met with the Census people and we have formed a partnership to advertise and promote the 2010 census. The more accurate the count the better our chances of receiving federal funding in the future.
