District # 3 on Tuesday July 18, 2023 at 6:30 PM at the East Greenbush Fire Station located
at 68 Phillips Road, Rensselaer, NY 12144 in relation to the proposed borrowing by the

Volunteer Fire Department of an obligation (a promissory note) to the Bank of Green
County.
The obligation is in the maximum principal amount of $500,000.00.
A public hearing is required as is the subsequent approval by the Board of Fire
Commissioners of the borrowing and issuance of the obligation as conditions precedent
to the borrowing. The purpose of the hearing and borrowing approval are to create an
exemption from income taxation of the interest payable under the terms of such

Internal Revenue Code. Neither the public hearing nor the subsequent approval the
Board of Fire Commissioners for the borrowing creates any obligation or liability of the

Persons attending the public hearing will be given the opportunity to make brief
oral statements in connection with the proposed financing, and written comments may be
submitted to the Hearing Officer at or prior to the public hearing.
