The presiding official said the special meeting was converted to a regular meeting only so the board could approve the warrant to pay bills after last week’s network and Munis outage delayed payments. \"We want to be able to pay our bills, and we couldn't last week because our computers were down,\" the presiding official said.
The board moved to table the two billing items, a motion was seconded and carried with no recorded opposition. Later the board moved to approve the warrant included in meeting packets; a second was recorded and the motion carried. The presiding official thanked staff for assembling the warrant once systems were restored.
No additional public participation occurred during the meeting; the board opened the meeting to public participation at the start and recorded no in-room public speakers.

The motion to approve the timber sale carried with no recorded opposition.

The presiding official said the council’s action increases the bond authorization by $6 million to allow the city to pursue grant opportunities and that the change is an authorization rather than immediate borrowing. \"The council's approved the bond, anticipate, bond sorry. In case anticipation note. Not that we're pursuing it, but now we can go after the grants to see how much we might be able to get from the different sources,\" the presiding official said.
Board members also discussed a funding application submitted to the Environmental Facilities Corporation on Sept. 12; the presiding official confirmed the EFC application had been filed and appeared in the meeting notes.
The board reported network and accounting systems (Munis) were recently unavailable, which delayed invoice processing; staff said systems are now restored. Officials described the 2025–26 budget process as starting with Deputy Controller Wendy Baird and staff preparing a draft and anticipated presenting to the Common Council beginning Sept. 22. The presiding official said staff requested a one-week postponement of that presentation to verify current-year numbers now that access to accounting systems has been restored.
The board discussed personnel cost assumptions for the draft budget, noting the current collective-bargaining reference for CSEA employees includes an approximate 3 to 3.5 percent increase plus $0.25 per hour in recent negotiations; the presiding official said these figures are being entered into budget projections but that final negotiated amounts are determined by the contract process.
No formal board action was taken on bonding, EFC funding, or the draft budget during the meeting; staff were directed to continue grant pursuit and finalize the draft for council presentation.
","Officials said the water and sewer electrical upgrade is about 90–95% complete, the Common Council approved a $6 million increase in the bond authorization to make the project a $20 million authorization, and staff submitted an Environmental Facilities Corporation funding application on Sept. 12 while beginning the annual budget process.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5983504,"Glens Falls ice-rink chiller leak draws DEC investigation; temporary shutdown possible",82,541360,623995,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5771003-fa2f45b3d4de904bd489cece5b6efbbd&start=541&end=623","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5771003-fa2f45b3d4de904bd489cece5b6efbbd/thumbnail_541360.jpg","/articles/5983504/Glens-Falls-City/Warren-County/New-York/Glens-Falls-ice-rink-chiller-leak-draws-DEC-investigation-temporary-shutdown-possible","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983504-7effd7644952bc9549e9f7d7125cc88a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771208373&Signature=RoSytbGo4FvIbk7KoKBdlWwhplJsDvZISlL1XkeD3JHHlqQGbAc8lsfvxweOgnRKDbT7N1wwfn4ik5DkNyv9fI72fmfT-KRrLJOsYabz2CXF-5CIAwds5JTcEgF5cgX9QGMKC6Q13vsepX3l-cybL5nscuAWou9PyvOMyKWcSkJ2PC3bPqBAkvaBr7-6bye7kULZ0yh5zWSMgzPSDUivsb7Z7DaO~hkY-y-tB6An3AHpcPW2BzCyLX7PXoZU7zza~Sj0QHD6brrEUq2ixXCBza8Gh0MFd2ym-n-9oExwFqtcNmU7GyABiyio7Zk0XhCzBOoHwBe-~B0KPgN9YryLPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City of Glens Falls Water and Sewer officials told the board Sept. 15 that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is treating an anomalous glycol detection in the ice-rink chiller pit as a spill and is overseeing testing and cleanup.
The presiding official said consultants from LaBella carried out tests that found glycol inside the chiller pit but \"no glycol was found around the outside at all, just in the chiller pit,\" and that DEC asked the city to dig test wells around the perimeter and in the pit.
That testing led to a cleanup plan the city described as a temporary coagulation repair — described in the meeting as a \"fix-a-flat\" approach — which would be done under DEC review while the city applies for grant money to replace the chiller system.
The presiding official said city staff would suggest shutting the facility for the entire season if a leak is confirmed. \"To get that approval, we're gonna suggest that if there's a leak of any kind, that we shut the facility down for the entire season,\" the presiding official said.
Officials said the city is coordinating with ice-rink users, including youth hockey and school teams, and intends to notify the school district about possible closure; however, they stressed the ultimate decision on reopening rests with DEC. The board reported a target date to open of Oct. 15, but the presiding official said, \"We can't guarantee it until DEC says.\"
Board members said an anonymous report from an environmental attorney prompted DEC's spill-response team to investigate, and that the city has hired LaBella to perform the recommended testing and to share findings with DEC.
Officials said current glycol levels \"are reduced almost to nothing,\" but that DEC is treating the matter as it would a toxic spill and required the testing and oversight. The presiding official said the city is proceeding only with measures DEC approves.
Next steps the board described include continuing DEC-approved testing and cleanup, consulting with rink users about a potential seasonal shutdown, and pursuing grant funding for system replacement.
","City officials told the Water and Sewer board that glycol was detected inside the rink chiller pit, not outside, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is overseeing testing and a proposed temporary \"fix-a-flat\" coagulation repair while the city seeks grant funding to replace the system.","actionData","errors"]
