draft of the law amending the Zoning Ordinance by adding provisions regarding
construction of wind energy facilities.
Many changes were suggested. It
was decided after looking at wind maps of the town that commercial turbines
would not be feasible. They decided to
remove commercial wind turbines and to concentrate on non-commercial turbines
that individuals would want to construct.

ready for the April meeting when another public hearing will be held.

Historian’s report:
Supervisor
Thomas Wood read Sean Kelleher’s report.
The Historians' office has
been slow this past month. We are
working on finishing up the American Battlefield Protection Program grant on
Fort Hardy – a draft report is being reviewed.
I have done some primary research on the troops in Saratoga during the
French and Indian War – what is interesting is Saratoga hosted Lord Loudoun who
was the British Commander of all armies in America, Major Robert Rogers of
Rogers Rangers, and a company of Stockbridge Indians. (Which is noteworthy in
part because they served with the Americans at the Battles of Saratoga).
In addition, we are working
on setting up a partnership to purchase a machine that will digitally scan
microfilm. Our long term goal is to
create digital copies of the old local newspapers especially the Schuylerville
Standard that can be researched using a key word search and would be available
on the internet. We are partnering with
the Old Saratoga Historical Association and we are working to extend the
partnership.
Deputy Historian Pat Peck reported that through a grant opportunity with the
NYS Archives she is working on an exhibit on the history of the centralization
process and resistance to centralization of the little district schools in the
Town of Saratoga. The display should be
available in a couple of months.
Assessor’s report: Assessor Victoria Hayner reported:
February
was a busy month in the Assessor’s Office.
We received all exemption applications up until March 3rd. Thank you to all the property owners for
their prompt response to filing of their applications. It has been a privilege to meet so many of
the town’s property owners in the past few months.
We
continue entering our sales and for the month of February we had 7 valid sales
and 5 non-valid sales. Of these sales 9
sales involved residential property and 3 sales involved vacant lands.
In
continuing my education and fulfilling State requirements, I took the Ethics
class which is now required of newly appointed Assessors. I will be continuing to take a variety of
courses as they become available.
Field
review was done in February and on March 1st for taxable
status. We reviewed our new
construction and building permits so that values will be set according to their
percent of completion on March 1st.
We will be continuing to update our files with pictures as we receive
Certificates of Occupancy from the building inspector throughout the year.
March
will be busy with setting new values on properties that have been under
construction during the past year and for properties whose owners have stopped
by and had discussions with me regarding their assessment. Our assessment roll will be set by mid-April
for public inspection after May 1st.

was burned at the Schuyler Park site on Rt. 29 on February 23rd. New gear lockers have been built in the
firehouse by the firemen. The new truck
should be to the fire department by April 1st. Gear for four new firefighters has been
ordered at a cost of about $6,400. Two
officers completed Live Fire Training on February 16th. All spring maintenance on the trucks has
been completed by firefighters. The
Fire District’s books have been audited and found to be O.K. The plans are complete for the substation
and should go out for bids within two weeks with construction starting in May. There are still questions on the standpipes
and who is responsible for keeping them clear.
Supervisor Thomas Wood responded that he will follow-up with Town
Attorney William Reynolds to see what is needed to clear up the issue. Stephen Bodnar added that 200 dinners were
sold at the Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner on Sunday.
SLA: Doug Niles inquired
about the new County water system pipeline and the permits on the upper Hudson

responded that when the permits were originally issued they were issued to the
county and when the Water Authority took over the system DEC had a few
questions but they are now satisfied and the permits have been transferred to
the Water Authority.
Old
business:
Supervisor
Thomas Wood reported that the NYS Department of Transportation has responded to

governments; and

county Medicaid costs, strengthen financial accountability over school tax
dollars, promote local government efficiency, and encourage local option
insurance pooling; and

Act” will help fix New York’s broken property tax system, providing homeowners,

deliberations to acknowledge New York State’s property tax crisis and urge the

here; and be it further

Communications:
Supervisor Thomas Wood
reported on the following:
v
Department of Social
Services – additional
funding is being made available to the 2008 Federal Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program. The program will
remain open until at least May 15th. Questions about the HEAP program can be directed to Deborah
Osborn, Director of Eligibility, at 884-4140.
v
Economic Stimulus Payments –
Individuals
who might not otherwise be required to file a 2007 tax return will need to file
a return this year to receive the stimulus payment. Some low-income workers and recipients of Social Security,
certain veterans’ benefits, and certain Railroad Retirement benefits may
qualify for the stimulus payment.
Privilege
of the floor:
The
following residents voiced their concerns and comments regarding the new town
hall proposition to the board:
Bob
Stokes voiced concerns regarding the 9% town property tax
increase, difference in appraised value and purchase price, operating costs in
the future, and should the town become a landlord.
Robert
Hall voiced concerns regarding the town going into debt
with the economy as it is, the difference in assessed value between private
ownership vs. municipal ownership, and asked if we need a building that is 5
times what we have now. Supervisor
Thomas Wood responded that with the present building sinking, doing nothing
is not an option. There are five
tenants with leases at the school and that will help generate revenue to offset
the bond payments. Siena College and
Historic Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson have expressed interest in leasing
space at the school building. The
remainder of the building will be used for town offices. There will be much needed space for the
court, where state mandates require large spaces and for public safety, holding
areas for prisoners. A larger space for
the State Police, Probation, senior needs, record storage, along with offices
for the building department, planning department, tax collector and bookkeeper
who all share the same common area now.
There will also be room for future expansion.
Dave
Roberts thanked the board and building committee for all
their research and review of all the options and stated that they are doing the
right thing with the school as it is a magnificent building that with its
presence relays the message that town government is there to serve you. He added that there is no way you could
build that building for what Sonny Bonacio is asking for it. He noted that the 9% increase is only in the
town tax rate of $1.50.
Doug
Niles asked if the school will have a generator. Supervisor Thomas Wood stated yes,
that it will have a 150 kw automatic standby power generator. Doug stated that
the school is a fortress, there is no comparison to stick built construction,
and with a generator it will make a great shelter.
Brian
Huber voiced concerns that the expected dollars generated by
the leases are not realistic. Supervisor
Thomas Wood explained that there is an automatic escalator of 3% and triple
net built into the leases. The tenants are under 3 to 5 year contracts and have
expressed a desire to continue as tenants.
The cost of renting in Schuylerville is much less than in Saratoga
Springs, $9 vs. $30 per square foot. Sonny
Bonacio stated that the 3% escalator is pretty standard.
Gil
Albert voiced a concern that the tenants at the school may
not stay when the property taxes go up which will cause their rent to go up
since their leases have triple net.
Gail
Sullivan noted that even residential rents in this area have
increased greatly in the last 4 years.
Peg
Hall asked the board to give the people as much
information as they can.
Jim
Miers, NIMS Coordinator, stated that as they rewrite the disaster
plan they have looked at segments of the population that are not mobile and the
school’s location, standby power, and its welcoming and sturdy presence makes
it ideal as an emergency shelter and town hall. It’s the ideal building for Public Safety. He added that from an
environmental standpoint, it is being friendly to the environment since we are
not cutting down trees etc. to build a brand new town hall.
Dave
Hall asked the board to consider the future costs of
maintenance.
Sonny
Bonacio stated that the three other town hall proposals
were all on land owned by the town. He
added that included in the school’s selling price is the lot, the adjacent lot
and the updates for the municipal spaces.
He said that the appraiser hired needed other like buildings in the town
to compare it with and there are none.
Sonny added that the school building has had new electrical, plumbing,
heating & air conditioning, insulation and roof put on within the last 5
years.
Steve
Bodnar stated that at first he was in favor of the highway
garage location but after all the committee’s review of information, he now
feels that with the school, what we’re getting for our dollars is a really good
deal, it’s ready to go, sturdy and secure, a no brainer.
Roger
Sherman asked if new voting machines will be in place in
November. Supervisor Thomas Wood
responded that the county controls what machines will be used and he does not
believe new machines will be ready for the November election.
