WAP RECREATION COMMITTEE 20 MIDDLEBUSH ROAD WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY 12590-0324 (845) 297-0720 May 9, 2005 MEMO TO: SUPERVISOR JOSEPH RUGGIERO TOWN BOARD f% FROM: TOWN OF WAPPINGER RECREATION COMMISSSION RALPH J. HOLT RE: NON-RESIDENT PARTICIPATION IN TOWN RECREATION PROGRAMS. SUPERVISOR JOSEPH RUGGIERO TOWN COUNCIL VINCENT BETTINA MAUREEN McCARTHY JOSEPH P. PAOLONI ROBERT L. VALDATI Over the years we have faced bus trips taking place with less than a full bus. We feel that we should make these seats available to non-residents once we have filled the need of the people of our town. Non-residents would pay an additional fee of $15.00 over that of our Town residents. This would help us cover the costs of providing the trip. It is also consistent with the policy of other towns and causes no problem from the standpoint of our insurance. With Town Board approval we would be able to move forward with this. We recommend this change. Ralph RJH:eam Enc. Flyer to be made available to non- residents is approved. Notice to the Non -Residents of the Town of WayyinLyer: Starting the May of 2005 if you are a non-resident of the Town of Wappinger (you do not pay taxes to the Town of Wappinger) you will be able to sign-up for the certain programs (bus trips, Aerobics for Women, Volleyball, Baton Twirling, Gymnastics, Winter Basketball Camp, etc.). Bus trips would cost the non- resident $15.00 additional charge, and four other programs a 50% increase. A non-resident sign-up list will available for the above activities. Keeping with the philosophy that the Town of Wappinger residents come first and will not be denied a seat/spot, non-residents will be allowed to fill- in if there is remaining seats/spots. A week before the trip/activity the non-resident will be notified by phone that they will be allowed to participate in that trip/activity if they are still interested. The Town of Wappinger Recreation Commission is excited to make this available to the non-residents of Wappinger. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity and joy us on our many bus trips and programs.
