Town Board Special Meeting - Public Hearing - 09-29-2021

TOWN OF CRAWFORD

PINE BUSH WATER DISTRICT

INCREASE AND IMPROVEMENT OF FACILITIES

SPECIAL MEETING NOTICE

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

            PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Town Board of the Town of Crawford will hold a special meeting for the purpose of  holding a public hearing on September 29th, 2021 at 6:00 PM, in person at the Crawford Senior and Community Center, 115 State Route 302, Pine Bush, New York to consider and hear public comment on a proposed increase and improvement of the facilities of the Pine Bush Water District and to take action on said proposed increase and improvement of said facilities, and on any other business that may come before the board.  In addition, the public may attend this meeting via remote ZOOM videoconference, as described further below. 

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the proposed improvements include the purchase of property for the protection of two newly drilled water production wells and construction of a well house approximately 1,600 LF north of NYS Route 52 on Dubois Street (Tax Parcel: Section 2, Block 1, Lot 79.2), along with installation of a water main to connect to the Water District’s existing water system in the hamlet of Pine Bush. The proposed 20 feet x 30 feet treatment building would provide chlorination of the groundwater source and provision for future sequestration, if needed. Treated groundwater would be pumped to the Water District’s existing water system via approximately 6,100 feet of 8-inch diameter HDPE transmission main installed along NYS Route 52 and connected to the existing water system on State Route 52 across from Boniface Drive. 

The estimated maximum cost of the proposed project is $4,762,100.  The County has previously secured a Local Government Efficiency Grant (in 2012 and 2015) in the amount of $920,200 for drilling and design work for the subsequently proposed wells on County land. The proposed wells on County land will be replaced by the newly drilled wells on the Dubois property. The Town has secured a WIIA grant from the State Environmental Facilities Corporation in the amount of $2,311,680, and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Financial Assistance in the amount of $1,001,100 for the proposed well house and connection to the Dubois wells. Municipal contributions will be in the estimated amount of $540,000 grant match.  A map and plan of the proposed improvements is on file in the Town Clerk’s office.  All persons interested will be heard by the Town Board at the public hearing.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that persons who attend the meeting via Zoom will be able to see and hear the meeting, but will not be able to make or submit oral or written comments during the meeting. Any person who attends by Zoom and  who wishes for his or her comment to be heard during a public hearing or the public comment session can send his or her comments in advance of the meeting to [email protected] or call 845-744-2020 by no later than 4:00 PM on September 29, 2021.

    TOWN OF CRAWFORD

    TOWN OF CRAWFORD

    CONSOLIDATION PLAN

                The stated goals of the Petition for a Consolidated Town of Crawford is to establish a village with the same boundaries as the Town of Crawford in order to give the Town government greater authority, flexibility and efficiency to provide services to its residents without increasing costs by authorizing the Town government to exercise the powers of a village while continuing to operate a single government as a town.  The electorate voted to establish a new village having boundaries coterminous with the Town’s boundaries and to consolidate the new village and the Town of Crawford.

                The State Comptroller’s office (OSC) subsequently informed the Town’s attorney that such consolidation would create a single government and would not accomplish the goals of the petition and that incorporation of the village with coterminous boundaries alone accomplishes the goals of the petition.  Therefore, having established the new village having coterminous boundaries with the Town, the goals of the petition are accomplished, and proceeding with consolidation of governments w

    ould not achieve the goals of the petition.

                Since the voters approved a consolidation, the state General Municipal Law §760 requires the Town Board to prepare a consolidation plan.  In order to accomplish the goals of the  petition and the voters, the plan is to maintain the status quo of a village having coterminous boundaries with the Town of Crawford. 

                The plan, in response to each of the items set forth in General Municipal Law §760(2), is as follows:

                (a)        Governments.  The two government entities are the Town of Crawford and Village of Crawford, which, in order to achieve the goals of the petition, shall not be consolidated.

                (b)        Name of Governments.  Town of Crawford and Village of Crawford, to be known as the “Town of Crawford”.

                (c)        Rights, Duties and Obligations.  The Town/Village of Crawford will be principally operated as a town.  The Town of Crawford shall possess all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of a town, together with the rights and powers of a village.  In the case of conflict between the rights and powers of a town and a village, the Town Board may determine which shall be applicable.  If additional rights, powers or privileges are granted in the future by New York State to towns and/or villages, the Town shall have such rights and powers.

                (d)       Territorial Boundaries.  The territorial boundaries of the entities each shall be the boundaries of the Town of Crawford.

                (e)        Type and/or Class.  The type of the local government entities shall be a town and a village.

                (f)        Organization and Officials.  The Town of Crawford and Village of Crawford shall remain organized as a town and shall have the same positions for officials and employees, both elected and appointed, as the Town of Crawford.  The role of each elected official shall not change.  Officials shall possess any additional powers of corresponding village officials, with the exception that the Town Supervisor will not possess the chief executive powers of a village mayor.  If there is a conflict between the powers of a town official and corresponding village official, the Town Board shall determine which powers are applicable.

                To the extent that Town officials are required to also act as Village officials, the Town Supervisor shall act as a village mayor (except the Town Supervisor shall not have the chief executive powers of a village mayor), Town Board members shall act as Village trustees, and the Town Clerk shall act as a Village clerk.  There shall be no separate elections for village officials, except to the extent required, in which case the same person shall seek election for the town office and corresponding village office.  There is no need for a transitional plan and the schedule for elections and appointments of officials will be retained.

                (g)        Costs and Savings.    There will be minimal transition costs.  The intention is for the government to operate more efficiently and with increased powers.

                (h)        Assets. The Town’s assets are set forth in its annual report, incorporated herein by reference and publicly available in the Town Clerk’s office.  This plan will not affect Town or Village assets. 

                (i)         Liabilities and Indebtedness.    The Town’s liabilities and indebtedness are set forth in its annual report, incorporated herein by reference and publicly available in the Town Clerk’s office.  This plan will not affect Town or Village liabilities and indebtedness. 

               

                (j)         Terms of Disposition.  The Town will retain its assets, liabilities and indebtedness.  The Village will not have independent assets, liabilities or indebtedness.

                (k)        Laws, Rules and Regulations.  The Town’s laws, rules, regulations, orders and the like, as may be amended from time to time, shall remain in full force and effect in the Town and Village, and shall be administered and enforced accordingly.

                (l)         Effective Date of Consolidation.  In order to achieve the purposes and goals of the petition, there shall be no effective date of consolidation.

                (m)       Notice of Hearing on Plan.  A public hearing on the proposed plan shall be held on Thursday, August 15, 2024, at 7:00 PM at the Town Hall, Route 302, Pine Bush, New York 12566.
