VII. Discussions
1. Records Storage Suggestions to Save on Heating Costs
Town Clerk Joseph Paoloni rose to speak about the town's records storage at the Carnwath
dormitory. He explained that the continued heating of the entire dormitory building at Carnwath
cost $45,515.30 for the winter of 2013-2014. As the only known use of the building during
winter was for the storage of town hall records, he prepared a presentation in an attempt to save
some of these heating costs. His presentation showed the 2013-2014 monthly costs of heating oil
that could be saved in the 2014-2015 winter season using 6 proposed fireproof thermostat-
controlled'Oil Filled Space Heaters'. He explained that, including the electric costs and the cost
of the heaters, the town would save $41,740 in fuel costs. For conservatism, he used the full
capacity of the heaters which would not be needed. He went through the potential monthly
saving of $10,383 in the first month, $13,872 in the second month, and so on. The monthly cash
flow is summarized below.

Councilwoman Czarnecki asked about a power outage. Engineer Gray pointed out that there is
an emergency generator on site that would kick on in the event of a power outage. Councilman
Kuzmicz asked about maintenance of the heaters running continuously. Town Clerk Paoloni
Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 1/7/2015
Regular Meeting
Minutes November 24, 2014
pointed out that they are thermostat -controlled, they would not run continuously, are brand new,
and are only the be used temporarily for the upcoming five months as a new 'Records Storage
Building' planned for the summer of 2015 would store the records in subsequent years.
Councilman Kuzmicz wanted to make sure that they were properly monitored as nobody is out
there. Town Clerk Paoloni offered to go out there and check it every so often perhaps once per
week. Councilman Bettina asked the engineer if the generator provided current to all the outlets.
Engineer Gray said that it does and that it was a very large generator. Councilman Beale
questioned whether this was permissible under the building code. He also stated that 77% of all
fires in homes and 33% of all fires are caused from space heaters. He questioned the fireproof
nature of the 'Oil Filled Space Heaters'. He suggested that the circuits could overload and cause
a fire especially if the electric was not up to code. Councilman Bettina asked if the building was
up to code. Town Clerk Paoloni pointed out that the dormitory building was built in 1968, used a
hospital, and did not pre -date modern day wiring standards. Councilman Kuzmicz suggested
that it is not that it was old, but that it hasn't been used in years. Town Clerk Paoloni pointed out
that the whole building is not on one circuit. Councilman Beale said he has no confidence in that
building at all. He also suggested that it was not maintained properly even when it was a
maintained by the Greystone hospital. He said the fire alarm need a phone line to work.
Councilman Bettina said that we should have a phone line installed. Councilman Beale said that
we have a major lack of maintenance issue throughout all of our town buildings and, until we get
that under control, he didn't want to add more variables. He understands that the heaters
automatically shut off, but questions the wiring in the room. Engineer Gray asked if there was a
requirement to keep the records dry. Town Clerk Paoloni said the State Archives does not have
requirements, they only recommend the practice due to the moisture that would be released when
the temperature drops below the dew point.
He then suggested that as an alternative solution would be to move the records to a heated secure
offsite location. Councilwoman Czarniecki agreed that space heaters would not be as attractive
as storing the records elsewhere in an offsite location. Town Clerk Paoloni pointed out that we
would still save as much as $40,000 by moving the records for 4 months in the heated secure
record storage facility up by the Bonefish Grill on Route 9. Councilman Beale questioned
whether municipal records could be stored in a commercial location. He again questioned
whether New York State Archives recommends or requires. He suggested that there could be
fires at those locations as well. Councilman Beale said he would like to expedite the new
'Records Storage building and thus store them in a location that we own. Supervisor Gutzler
asked for other questions. Town Clerk Paoloni asked if he could address the postage meters.
2. Motion To: Transfer from Contingency to Purchase rather than Lease New Postage Meter
Town Clerk Paoloni pointed out that Pitney -Bowes is recalling their 9 -year old leased postage
meter that is working fine and could last another 6 years. They are offering a lease on a new
postage meter for a 2% increase. Town Clerk Paoloni pointed out that over the last 9 -years we've
paid $22,896 in lease costs for a meter that could have been purchased for approximately $6,500.
A new meter would cost $6,755.19 and would pay for itself in 33 months and save $15,952 over
an equivalent 9 -year period and perhaps even 6 years more, because they can't re-claim our
machine. He added that the next model up would cost only $322 more or $7,077.20 and would
print return addresses. He added that a pre-printed return addressed envelopes costs $0.13 per
envelope. He explained that over the last 12 months the postage meter processed 57,956
envelopes, and that if all the envelopes had pre-printed return addresses at a cost of $0.13 per
envelope; the cost saving for printing would be $7,534 per year; i.e. saving more than the cost of
the machine itself. He then asked the town board for a transfer of $5,806 from the contingency
Town of Wappinger Page 4 Printed 1/7/2015
Regular Meeting Minutes November 24, 2014
line A1990.402 to Postage Machine Lease A1410.412. Councilwoman Czarnecki asked if there
was a maintenance contract that we would have to buy. Town Clerk Paoloni responded that they
are not offering a maintenance contract anymore as they have in the past and either way, buy or
lease, we would pay for maintenance and ink. Councilwoman Czarnecki asked how long a
postage meter lasts. Town Clerk Paoloni responded that the one we have is in its 9th year and
should last 6 years more; and, if this new machine were to last only 33 months (the breakeven
period); we would have made our money back. Town Clerk Paoloni said he only needed $5,806
because Pitney Bowes stopped charging us in mid -year and we have $1,272 left in the
A1410.412 account. Councilwoman Czarnecki asked if Pitney Bowes would ask for the
remaining lease costs for 2014. Town Clerk Paoloni said he was told that they would not. A
motion followed to transfer.
• Pitney Bowes is reclaiming their machine
• Current Meter put in operation in 2006 at $2,244 per year. Total
lease costs $22,896 over the (last 9 years includes $50/mo. (Bine fee.
• New Machine (lease casts $263.24 or $3,159 per year. Total) lease
cost for 9 years cost its $28,430 or $23,030 with lime fill fee.
• New Machine purchase cast is a one time fee of $7,078 plus $50
per month (line fill fee. Payout is 33 months with (line fee.
• Savings over 9 years its $15,952 or more because they cannot
recllaim our machine.
• New machine prints return addresses at an annual) cost of $7,534
which pays for the machine in 11 months.
• Recommend a transfer of only $5,806 from contingency Milne
A1990.402 to Postage Machine Lease A1410.412 because Pitney
Bowes discontinued service in May and have not charged us $1,272.

3. Motion To: Buidling Department Entrance Re -Design
Councilman Bettina asked for a window vestibule in the entrance to the code enforcement office.
He asked the board to allow the engineer to submit a sketch and cost estimate. Engineer Gray
explained the design as a three sided enclosure with a door and a lock to enter the office. He
estimated a $2,000 to $3,000 cost. A motion followed.
