The following Resolution was introduced by Councilwoman McCarthy and seconded by
Supervisor Ruggiero.
WHEREAS, the Director of Code Enforcement has reviewed the records of the building
department in order to determine the actual time spent to administer various permits and conduct
inspections as required by the Town Code. Based on his review of the amount of time expended for the
particular tasks, the Director of Code Enforcement has determined that certain fees presently charged for
permits and inspections do not adequately compensate the Town of Wappinger for the time and expense
involved and that an increase of the fees charged is necessary; and
WHEREAS, based upon the study and recommendation of the Director of Code Enforcement,
the Town Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the citizens of the Town of Wappinger to
amend the Town's Fees Schedule found at § 122-16 of the Town Code in order to increase certain permit
fees and inspection fees.
