Discussions
Town Councilperson Office - Councilman Bettina
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:03 PM. Councilman Bettina noted that he
would like to have an office for the Councilmembers as has been discussed in the past. This way
they do not have to meet with constituents in the hallway or off-site. There is an area next to the
Legislative Aide's office that is currently used as a storage area. He looked at the second floor,
where there is storage for the Court. He feels that should be moved to Carnwath to allow it to be
used as a place to meet with constituents. Councilman Bettina then stated that other Towns have
space for their Councilmembers and he would like to see this moved forward.
Councilman Paoloni said this would be useful and would allow them to be more
productive. Supervisor Colsey said that his only concern is whether or not this is in the long-
term plan. There are currently substantive concerns with the building and he is looking to down-
size his office.
Councilman Bettina wanted to know what the problem was in moving the stuff that is
upstairs down to Carnwath and turning the closet next to the Legislative Aide into an office. He
added that it is not a case of creating more space.
Supervisor Colsey replied that he is hesitant to add more occupied space as the building
is full now and there is the issue with the CO for the building. He said the Building Inspector
shares an office right now. He further went on to say there is only one storage closet on the first
floor, so he is hesitant to take it away.
Al Roberts, Town Attorney, stated that he is unsure about the rules, but there may be
something in the Court system with a requirement to the accessibility of records that he does not
know about. Mr. Roberts suggested looking to see if there is any space in the Emergency
Services Building.
Councilwoman McCarthy stated that she would not mind sharing space with files. She
sympathizes with Councilman Bettina's desire to have space to meet with constituents where
they have access to information. She feels that it is reasonable to ask for a desk, a few chairs, a
phone and a fax, even if it is in a closet.
Councilman Bettina discussed his reasons for wanting space. He then said the Council
Members should be able to conduct their business with dignity and would like to see this on a
timetable with a cost analysis done.
Supervisor Colsey added that there is currently a bipartisan building committee in place.
He is not currently opposed to the idea as part of a long-term plan. He has made a decision
personally to not move forward with adding personal space. Councilman Bettina does not want
to leave this up to the building committee. He would like a timeline set up. It has been 10 years
that this has been discussed. Supervisor Colsey replied that they could see if a majority of the
Board reaches a consensus. He then polled the Board.
Councilman Beale stated that it should be a priority that they have space, as he has had
similar situations where he has had to conduct meetings in the hallway. He feels that
Town of Wappinger Page 1 Printed 6/1712008
Regular Meeting Minutes May 12, 2008
constituents deserve better than to meet in a cramped room on top of an old refrigerator box.
Councilwoman McCarthy said she feels they can make a closet work.
Councilman Paoloni agreed that they could make that small space work and asked if there
was any extra furniture. Supervisor Colsey answered that there may be a few extra chairs.
Councilman Paoloni recommended seeing if this works. If not, they could try to find a low-cost
alternative.
Supervisor Colsey asked who they propose would come up with the timetable and
estimate. Councilwoman McCarthy asked how long it could take to move boxes. Discussion
about what would need to be done to convert the closet into an office followed. Councilman
Paoloni noted that it did not need to be a turn -key office right away. He offered to meet with
Councilman Bettina on Saturday morning. Supervisor Colsey designated Councilman Paoloni
and Councilman Bettina as the committee. Councilman Bettina noted that they could come up
with something within 60 days. Councilman Paoloni replied that they could come with
something on Saturday. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:14 PM.
2. Park Safety Report - Ralph Holt
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:14 PM. He stated that Ralph Holt,
Recreation Director, recently sent him a memo about a safety report that was conducted by Mr.
Doug Haan. Mr. Holt was present to explain the report.
Mr. Holt thanked Supervisor Colsey for allowing him to speak for a few minutes on
safety and recreation. He stated that there are eight very active parks. He went on to list each
park as well as the uses of each site. Mr. Holt noted that, with the weather getting warmer and
school letting out, the usage of each park will begin to increase. Safety is a very important issue
and, according to Mr. Holt, the goal is to not have one child get injured in a park.
There was an opportunity to hire Doug Haan five years ago. Mr. Holt read a statement
on Mr. Haan's qualifications for being a safety officer. He pointed out that they have budgeted
One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars & 00/100 ($1,500.00) for him. Mr. Holt then gave a brief
explanation as to what Mr. Haan does for the Town each year. For example, Mr. Hann gives
reports on safety and is also on call to help in any situation.
Every year, two seasonal employees clean up garbage at the parks and paint over the
profanities. Prior to camp opening, each counselor is directed to a specific job making sure
everything at each park is safe and ready for the children. Mr. Holt then provided the Town
Board with copies of Mr. Haan's past reports.
Supervisor Colsey asked if there was anything the Town should be aware of in regards to
safety, besides swing set repairs. Mr. Holt replied that they need bucket seats for toddlers. The
new seats crack after long exposure to sun and people break them. He is trying to find a vendor
that offers a better seat, but has not been able to yet. The only other thing they are working on
right now is pea gravel.
Councilwoman McCarthy said that Mr. Haan has an excellent reputation and is very
thorough. She then applauded Mr. Holt and his department for being pro -active and vigilant
when it comes to the conditions they let the kids play on. Supervisor Colsey closed the
discussion at 7:23 PM.
3. Carnwath Fence - Ralph Holt
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:23 PM. Ralph Holt, Chairman of the
Recreation Commission, and Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, were prepared to discuss the
Carnwath fence. Mr. Holt started by saying that Carnwath is, for the most part, a closed park.
The only people who go there are Sports Museum workers. The Town Engineer and Building
Inspector have told him that the fence around the Carriage House can be taken down. This will
end the monthly fee of One Hundred Dollars for the rental of that fence. He wants to shrink the
big fence around the Mansion so that the staircase from the lower parking lot can be used. This
would allow for the use of the chapel and the room underneath the chapel. This room could be
used by any organization for meetings.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked if there were any requirements for the fence, such as a
safe distance from the building. George Kolb, Director of Code Enforcement, replied that it is
determined by the Town Engineer. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if Mr. Holt's proposal goes
along with this. Bob Gray, Town Engineer, said that he looked at it and drew a new map where
the fence could go, and that is what Mr. Holt is saying.
Mr. Holt said by shrinking the fence the cost would be Three Thousand Three Hundred
Dollars. Six Hundred Dollars is for six more months of the rental fee. Looking at the monetary
picture brings up the question of what the Town wants to do long-term. To buy the fence
outright would cost Six Thousand Three Hundred Dollars. If this is a short-term problem and
can be fixed within the six months, then he suggests that the Town rent the fence. If this is a
long-term problem, which he considers a year or more, then Mr. Holt suggests the Town buy the
fence. At this moment he suggests that the Town shrink and rent the fence and come back to the
Town of Wappinger Page 2 Printed 611712008
Regular Meeting Minutes May 12, 2008
issue in six months.
Councilman Paoloni asked what the Three Thousand Three Hundred Dollars is for. Mr.
Holt said that is the cost to take the current fence down and reposition it. Councilman Paoloni
then asked what the lease cost of the fence is. Mr. Holt said it is One Hundred Dollars a month.
Councilman Paoloni asked how much it would cost to buy the fence. Mr. Gray replied that it is
Two Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars more than the cost to have the fence moved and rented.
Mr. Gray then added that, in the cost of moving the fence, is the next six months of renting the
fence. His recommendation is that, if the Town Board is planning to keep the fence in place for
more than 33 months, then the Town should buy it. Not included in that cost is what the Town
would then have to pay to maintain, take the fence down and get rid of it.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked who came up with where the fence should go and how it
was determined. Mr. Kolb answered that it was determined by the previous engineer and
structural engineer. It was looked at again by him and Mr. Gray and they felt that it would be
possible to bring the fence in considerably closer to the building. Mr. Kolb then said that he took
Mr. Gray on a walking tour of the Mansion, since he had not been inside. There is considerable
leakage in the roof. Councilwoman McCarthy said it strikes her as odd that the Town is
tightening the parameters of a potentially dangerous area, when it is not getting better. Mr. Gray
said he went through the building and it would have to do a complete lateral collapse to reach
where the fence is now. That is just not going to happen. The building has been standing for
150 years and for that to happen would surprise him. Councilman Beale said that the other issue
discussed when putting that fence up was that winter was approaching and the Montclair
building collapse was fresh in memory, so the previous Engineer was being cautious. Discussion
about access to the property followed.
Mr. Gray said that there has been structural work done inside the Mansion since the fence
had been put up, which adds to his belief that the building will not be collapsing. Mr. Kolb said
that the fence was one of the first things to go up. Councilman Beale added that the Town Board
can talk about this every month and do nothing because of the financial impact, or they can
attempt to fix some of the problems. He then asked if there are any recommendations as to how
the Town can fix the leaking roof. Mr. Gray replied that he visited the building with a roofing
firm. They determined that they wanted to take a look at the roof before putting a tarp on it.
May 21" is the tentative date for him to get on the roof and look around. He thinks the Town
should take the chimneys down. If anything was to fall, it would be bricks from a chimney. He
feels that the lower front roof needs a tarp as that is what is leaking. While he is on the upper
roof he may find that it needs a tarp as well. The Town Board has already authorized Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars to put a tarp on the smaller front roof. He recommends that he
just do that and come back if the upper roof needs a tarp as well.
Supervisor Colsey asked if the Town Board would like to move the fence in based on the
recommendation of the Town Engineer. Comments from the Board were in favor of moving the
fence in. The second question he asked is whether the Town should purchase the fence or
continue to lease it. Mr. Holt said the Town should lease it. Mr. Gray noted that, if it turns out
that in six months the Town sees that it will be needed for five years, the Town can buy it then.
Discussion about potential cost of the fence followed. Councilman Paoloni said that they will
leave the question of buying or leasing the fence for six months and see what happens.
Councilman Beale stated that he feels there needs to be a committee to look after this
park. Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, stated that there used to be a committee for
Carnwath and going to them might be a good place to start. Councilman Beale said the Friends
of Carnwath should be more involved, but that there should be a member of the Town Board on
it in case there is an emergency with the infrastructure. Discussion about the economy followed.
Mr. Holt then said that there needs to be a revenue stream coming into the park. The
biggest problem that they have is accessibility. Councilman Paoloni brought up the access road
named Cobblestone Road. He asked why that couldn't be treated as an entrance to the park. Mr.
Holt mentioned that he didn't know if the Town had a right to use it. Mr. Roberts added that it is
a poorly worded easement and the road itself is very narrow. Councilman Paoloni asked if it was
as narrow as the entrance to Robinson Lane. Mr. Gray added the point that there would be an
issue with handicapped accessibility if Cobblestone Road was used. Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey asked the Town Attorney if the first step is to overcome the wording
of the easement. Mr. Roberts answered that the Town would need to renegotiate the easement
with the property owner. Councilman Beale added that the first thing that needs to occur with
this parcel is to address the access issue. Mr. Gray brought the discussion back on track and
reminded the Board that there is a structure deteriorating due to a leaking roof. He
recommended that the Board focus on that.
Mr. Holt noted that there are two bands lined up to play a concert in August. If there is
no access road, he cannot have the concert.
Councilman Bettina asked if the Town Attorney is going to do research on the easement
issue. Mr. Roberts answered that he has already done a lot of research in the past when he was
Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 6/17/2008
Regular Meeting Minutes May 12, 2008
working with Joe Ennesser for the Greenway Trail. Councilman Paoloni asked that the Town
Attorney look at the estimate for the roof again. Councilman Bettina asked that the Board set a
timeline. He noted that the Board tends to talk about things and then let them go on and on. He
would like to get things moving. Discussion followed about what the access road would be used
for.
Councilman Beale asked what department the Friends of Carnwath fall under. Mr. Holt
believes it was set up under the Supervisor's office. Councilman Beale recommended that the
group be brought together to add input on this. Supervisor Colsey will check the list and reach
out to the Friends of Carnwath. Councilman Beale added that there is a sense among those
members that they were not being kept in the loop despite all of the hours of hard work that they
had volunteered.
Councilman Paoloni summarized the action items that have been discussed: provide
details on the access road, provide estimate on the roof, review Friends of Carnwath roster and
the Town Attorney will contact Mr. Baisley. Mr. Holt noted that Max Dao was appointed as the
safety officer. Mr. Dao will be in contact with Mr. Haan. With no further comments or
questions, the Supervisor closed the discussion at 7:56 PM.
4. Tax Certiorari Statement
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:57 PM. He mentioned that the Tax
Certiorari portion of the Agenda will be skipped. The Assessor was unable to attend due to a last
minute conflict. He then said that they will be moved to the next Agenda. Councilwoman
McCarthy asked if they will be able to get the information before the next Town Board Meeting.
Supervisor Colsey said he would get it to them. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:57
PM.
5. Internal Phone System - Joe Incoronato
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:57 PM. Joe Incoronato, Legislative Aide,
was present to give the presentation to the Town Board. Mr. Incoronato said that one of the first
jobs he was given since being appointed was to upgrade the internal phone system. He briefly
explained the current phone system. He noted that the system is from 1993 and is
technologically obsolete. The other thing pointed out by Mr. Incoronato is that Town Hall does
not have voice mail.
Councilwoman McCarthy said that she does not object to voice mail, but she wouldn't
want voice mail activated during the day. One of the beauties of Town Hall is that you get a live
person, not a menu that makes you go through lists pressing buttons and then you get voice mail.
She said you end up on the phone for five minutes before leaving a message. She feels that there
needs to be a policy put in place about the usage of voice mail. Discussion about possible
protocol followed.
Mr. Incoronato described the new phone system he has been looking at. The phone
system will have caller ID, call forwarding, messages that can be set to different times of the day,
and up to twelve hours of voice mail. The phones also have the ability to connect a headset so
your hands are free to type. Supervisor Colsey commented on the Resolution that was on the
Agenda.
Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, suggested that Town Hall get a different phone
system than what he has at the Highway Garage. The only way he can find out if he has a voice.
mail is to dial a seven digit number, then dial his ten digit phone number, then put in a four digit
pin number and then he gets told if he has a voice mail. Discussion followed.
Councilman Beale asked why this town has twenty-five phone numbers instead of just
one like every other town. He prefers calling one main number and being forwarded to the
department he is looking for. He also claimed that he calls the Town Clerk's Office when trying
to reach another department and is given a seven digit phone number.
Councilman Paoloni said he would like to have all three bidders come in first because
you may have to pay a little bit more to get what you want.
Councilman Bettina also said he would like to see three bidders come in for a
presentation. He added that he wants to make sure that this will be voice mail and not "voice
jail".
Councilwoman McCarthy agreed with Councilman Bettina and said she does not want to
see this become an excuse to not pick up the phone line. She then added that she would like a
policy set in place about response time to messages. Mr. Incoronato noted that they are currently
updating the personnel manual and this will be a part of it.
Councilman Beale asked if there was a way to prevent busy signals. Supervisor Colsey
said that rollover will help that. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:07 PM.

Regular Meeting Minutes May 12, 2008
6. Pet Crematorium - David Stolman
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:07 PM. David Stolman said that Scott
Neave was in attendance to give a presentation. Mr. Neave gave the floor over to Thomas M.
Pollina. Mr. Pollina introduced himself as the principal owner of Hartsdale Pet Cemetery &
Crematory, located on Central Park Avenue in Westchester County, and handed out a packet to
the Town Board. He said they currently have three units at the cemetery but are in need of
expanding with no more space at their current location. They found a building that met their
requirements on Airport Drive. Before entering into a contract, they wanted to get the blessing
of the Town.
Mr. Pollina then briefly described the way they operate. They are active only two days a
week, are self-contained in the building and virtually noiseless. The emissions are virtually
odorless and clear. Councilman Paoloni asked what the emissions are. Mr. Pollina said the
animals are cremated and then the smoke is re -circulated to a secondary chamber that burns at
about twenty-three hundred degrees. Any particles are re -burnt and nothing comes out.
Councilman Paoloni said that what goes in must come out, so something must come out. Mr.
Pollina answered that what comes out meets the requirements of New York State and there aren't
any noises associated with the units aside from the fans.
Councilman Beale asked if Mr. Pollina subcontracts out to veterinarians. Mr. Pollina
responded by saying that it is three -fold. They service over two hundred veterinarians in the Tri-
State area. When a pet dies, they pick it up and cremate it. Secondly, if a pet dies in a house
they will pick that up also. The third set of clients is animal shelters. Currently there are six that
they service in Westchester.
Councilman Paoloni asked if there needs to be a change of zone. David Stolman noted
that there would need to be a text amendment. He said they would be adding this specific use to
the Airport Industry district and maybe to the Planned Industry district as well. It would be a
special permit use and there might be some standards that are associated with the use. How the
use would fit into certain zoning districts in the Town has to be designed. Councilman Paoloni
stated it sounds like the Town is trying to get around something and he wanted to know why this
couldn't be done with any zoning. He said you could text amend anything to conform to what
you are trying to do. Mr. Stolman said that this is a use that is not permitted anywhere in the
town. Councilman Beale noted that it means the zoning is antiquated and does not include this
technological breakthrough. Councilman Paoloni asked if he is correct in saying that you can do
a text amendment to any zoning if it is not accounted for in one of the zones. Mr. Stolman
confirmed and noted that this is similar to the Global Satellite situation.
Councilman Bettina asked how the Town would address this situation while they are
working on the new Master Plan. He said while this will be for pets, there is also a need for
humans. He had someone in a funeral home ask him if it would be possible to set something up
in the Town since the demand is there. He asked if it would be possible to set something aside
for this to happen. Mr. Stolman answered that this can be taken up at the next Comprehensive
Plan meeting if there are appropriate locations in the Town for a human crematorium. He added
that there is currently nowhere in the Town where any type of crematorium is permitted. The
plan was to determine if the Town Board would want to go forward with anything else.
Discussion about the type of animals cremated as well as how they are transported followed.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked what the purpose of this expansion is. Mr. Pollina said
that they are not going to have an office here; it is only going to be a facility to cremate animals.
He said that there is not as much business in upstate New York since there are not as many
veterinarians. There is no plan right now to have an office. Councilwoman McCarthy said that
it does not seem financially feasible to only have the building open for two days a week unless
they are planning to expand hours or widen their net. Mr. Pollina said he is a CPA and they will
save money, by having this building, years down the line. Discussion about the process to get rid
of road kill followed.
Councilman Beale said that this seems to be the way to go in the future and the best
possible place for it is in Airport Industry. Supervisor Colsey noted that it would be as far from a
residential area as possible and have the least impact. Councilman Beale said he has no
objection to this and that there is no need to come to a consensus right then. He thanked them
for the education into how this business works.
Mr. Pollina explained to the Town Board how the law to get rid of animals came about.
New York State called his business to help write the law.
At the request of the Supervisor, Mr. Stolman then explained the process that the
applicant will need to take.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked if it would be possible to get more information on the
location and what is around it to discuss during a Comprehensive Plan meeting. Mr. Stolman
said he would do that for the Town Board.
Mr. Pollina said that they looked at other locations, but this was the first one they were
Town of Wappinger Page 5 Printed 6/17/2008
Regular Meeting Minutes May 12, 2008
happy with. This building has high ceilings, is completely empty and is out of the way.
Councilman Paoloni asked what was in that building before. George Kolb, Driector of Code
Enforcement, said it is brand new. Councilman Paoloni asked if any other town has rejected
them. Mr. Pollina said they have not gotten rejected from another town, but this building is the
right price and exactly what they are looking for. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at
8:28 PM.
7. Dog Park - Councilman Bettina
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:28 PM. Councilman Bettina noted that
many people have been calling him over the years for a dog park. He looked at having the dog
park at Castle Point Park, but that proved not to be suitable due to the landfill. Graham Foster,
Highway Superintendent, looked at having the park at other sites. There is a site in the 2nd Ward
that looks suitable at the intersection of Old Hopewell Road and All Angels Hill Road. He
would like to make sure that there is money in the Parkland Trust account. Councilman Bettina
went on thank the Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, and the Town Supervisor, Christopher
Colsey, for the Rabies Clinic that took place over the weekend. Supervisor Colsey closed the
discussion at 8:31 PM.
8. Highway Garage Site Survey Estimate- Bob Gray
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:31 PM. Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town,
reminded the Board that they had discussed replacing the Highway Garage at the last meeting.
Before it can be replaced, a site plan needs to be done. The estimate to do the survey is $7,200.
Supervisor Colsey asked if the Town is in a position to consider this. Mr. Gray noted that the
Town would not proceed with the site plan until it is decided to replace the facility. Discussion
followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:33 PM.
9. Wheeler Hill Site Survey - Graham Foster/Bob Gray
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:34 PM. Graham Foster, Highway
Superintendent, discussed the history of these "multi -modal" projects. They had been approved
from 2000 to 2004. He completed those projects and provided the paperwork to the
Comptroller's Office. That paperwork never got filed. Mr. Foster was notified by New York
State that the Town would be losing the funding. He then completed the necessary sets of
paperwork. The total for the projects is $132,000. This is money that has been expended and is
owed to the Town. He hopes the Town will be receiving a check soon.
Mr. Foster also discussed a situation at Wheeler Hill Road. This road has a crest with no
sight distance and a blind driveway. The Town has obtained easements on both sides to make
the road wider. In the last two years, there have been four roll-over accidents at the top of the
hill. The owner of the property at the crest across from Carnwath is in agreement that something
needs to be done and is willing to work with the Town on the easement. Bob Gray, Engineer to
the Town, has been asked to estimate what would need to be done. Mr. Foster also noted that
there is $152,000 in CHIPS money. There is nothing in the budget, so this would have to be
bonded up front.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked if this work would increase the speed on the road. Mr.
Foster stated that the speed limit is now 30MPH and people are driving 60MPH. He doesn't feel
that it is safe to drive l OMPH over that hill.
Councilman Beale noted that there would be no objections if this would improve
visibility. He and Mr. Foster compared this to the work that was done on Smithtown Road.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Gray explained that the next step would be to conduct the survey. Supervisor Colsey
asked if the survey would be within the CHIPS money. Mr. Foster replied that it would.
Councilman Bettina made a motion to authorize the survey. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Beale and passed unanimously. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:43
PM.

Public Comments on the Agenda Items
Councilman Bettina made a motion to suspend the Rules for public comment on the
Agenda Items. The motion was seconded by Councilman Beale and passed unanimously.
Supervisor Colsey recognized Mrs. Olivieri for comments on agenda items. Mrs. Olivieri
questioned Resolution #157 and wanted to know what it is in reference to. Supervisor Colsey
answered that an issue had been forwarded to the Ethics Committee earlier this year and the
Committee has asked for an Attorney to help them with the process. Mrs. Olivieri asked how
much this will cost. Councilwoman McCarthy said no more than One Thousand Dollars. Mrs.
Olivieri asked what it is for. Councilwoman McCarthy said that the Town Code allows for the
Ethics Committee to appoint an independent attorney to help them with their charge. Supervisor
Colsey said there is a question of jurisdiction and this way they have some guidance. Mrs.
Olivieri asked why she has to pay for it. Councilwoman McCarthy answered that it is in the
Town Code that the Ethics Board is permitted to have this. Mrs. Olivieri then voiced her
complaint that Mr. Ruggiero and Mr. Valdati are members of the Ethics Committee when they
were involved in the Town Board. Councilman Paoloni explained to her that Mr. Valdati was
not on the Town Board last year. Supervisor Colsey said that there is a cap of One Thousand
Dollars, they are allowed to have this, and each member of the Town Board has appointed a
member to the Ethics Committee. He added that, if she has any concern over members of the
Committee, she can write a letter to Mr. Incoronato who will bring it up at a meeting.
Councilman Bettina made a motion to reinstate the Rules. The motion was seconded by
Councilwoman McCarthy and passed unanimously.

IX. New Business
1. Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale mentioned the tragedy that happened down the street at the Baptist
Church. The Church is led by Dr. Hunt, a pastor who is a great friend to this Town. He was at
the Inauguration and has always been there for this Town to offer inspiration. The Church is
going through a tough time and there has been no determination as to what is going on there. He
asked that everyone refrain from speculation.
Councilman Beale then said that there have been issues regarding Mary Schmalz being
liaison between the Town and the Dutchess County Ramble. She has paperwork that she needs
to complete and had issues using a copy machine in Town Hall. He is hoping that she can utilize
equipment at Town Hall to accomplish her work. Supervisor Colsey stated that non -employees
are not supposed to use equipment in Town Hall and that opening this door may allow many
other organizations to come in and use equipment. Councilman Paoloni noted that this is in our
Recreation Guide and it is posted as a program so if she is volunteering her time there should be
no problem. Supervisor Colsey said there have been some concerns that he would like to address
in an Executive Session. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, said that the Board can ask anyone it
wanted into Executive Session and, if the Town Board is split, then a majority vote would settle
the issue. Councilman Beale commented that the issue is that the Town Board adopted a
resolution last year to support something. There is a volunteer who has volunteered hundreds of
hours and to do whatever is needed to complete the applications that are necessary. Al Roberts
asked how many copies she needs and commented that a solution may be to authorize her to go
to a commercial printer and reimburse her.
2. Councilman Bettina New Business
Councilman Bettina thanks Chris Masterson, Town Clerk, for having the rabies clinic. A
lot of people attended the clinic and he did a great job. It was a great benefit for the residents
and the Town.
He then asked if there are any meetings coming up with Fishkill about water. Supervisor
Colsey confirmed.
3. Councilwoman McCarthy New Business
Councilwoman McCarthy asked Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, if he had a
chance to take a look at the sinkhole on Carroll Drive near the manhole. Mr. Foster confirmed
that he had and noted that there was nothing wrong with it. Councilwoman McCarthy said there
is a pocket next to it and asked if he looked at the one next to Doyle Drive. Mr. Foster said he
did not see it; he only looked at the manhole cover. Councilwoman McCarthy noted that there is
a pocket in the pavement that looks like the beginning of a sinkhole and it seems to be getting
bigger.
Councilwoman McCarthy then pointed out that the residents on Schnabl Court near the
Masonic Lodge have contacted her with concerns about the project that is before the Town
Board. They are very upset and against the project, mostly due to drainage issues. She asked
Joe Incoronato, Legislative Aide, if he could put together a history of the property, which is
located off of Myers Corners Road. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, said he believes it is a
residentially zoned property. There have been one or two applications to subdivide the property,
but neighbors were against it and the project died. Mr. Roberts then said there was the
application by the Astor Clinic which didn't go forward. Councilwoman McCarthy pointed out
that the neighbors have already spent thousands of dollars to fix the drainage. They are upset at
the possibility of work going on and ruining their drainage further. She wants to get a feel for
the history of the property and what the potential impact for them might be. She asked if the

p
building is considered one residence even if fourteen people might live there. Al Roberts said it
is State Law. Councilwoman McCarthy said she just wanted to let the Town Board know of the
concerns and that the residents were looking for someone to voice them. Mr. Roberts said that,
according to the past presentation, he believes the Town Board is duty bound to provide an
alternate location if this one is denied. He went on to note that, for whatever reason, these
projects tend to have opposition wherever they are proposed. Councilwoman McCarthy said that
the residents are not against the project but they are against the impact it will have on their
drainage. Mr. Foster said he had a resident come to him with a concern when the Astor Home
planned to put their holding pond right on his property line. If it would overflow, it would go
into his house. Mr. Stolman added that one of the issues is whether the Planning Board would
have jurisdiction over the site plan. Mr. Roberts said he believes it would have to be treated as a
single family residence by law so it would have to be addressed through the plot plan in the
Building Department. George Kolb, Director of Code Enforcement, said if any resident has a
concern, it could be addressed to his department in writing to be placed in that file.
Councilwoman McCarthy said she is looking for a history of the property. Mr. Stolman said he
would coordinate with Mr. Kolb to get the information. Supervisor Colsey commented that this
seems very inconsistent with what the organization had presented. He recalls them saying that
they would work with the Town. Discussion followed.
4. Councilman Paoloni New Business
Councilman Paoloni said that Ralph Holt has been working on some potential revenues
for Carnwath. He has a project that is ready to go, but there seems to be a "donut" in the way.
Al Roberts, Town Attorney, noted that he has a memo prepared that he will forward to
Councilman Paoloni. The donut is the area that is not covered by the preservation covenant.
There are several pockets. Mr. Roberts described some of the pockets. Councilman Paoloni
asked if anything could be done. Mr. Roberts replied that it is 98% dead. He would like to read
the memo and then discuss the topic. He went on to discuss the history regarding the
preservation covenant. He noted that he had spoken with the senior Deputy County Attorney and
he does not believe it will be approved by the Legislature. Councilman Paoloni asked if it were
correct that it would be submitted to the County Legislature for approval. Mr. Roberts
confirmed that it would be submitted to the County for approval of the golf course, but an
architectural rendering would be needed to show how much of the contour would be changed.
Councilman Paoloni replied that the architect is already working on that. He needs to know the
details about the donut before proceeding. Discussion followed.
