2. Local Law # 7 - Stop Signs on Carroll and Davies
Resident Bill Dengler asked why there has to be a three way stop sign. Councilman Fenton
replied that there could be a potential accident coming from Davies Drive. Mr. Dengler pointed
out that most of the problem is cause by Carroll drive and people cutting trough to bypass the
light at Hopewell and All Angels. Councilman Fenton re-addressed the need for the signs on
Carroll Drive. Supervisor Jiava pointed out that it was the recommendation of the Engineer-To-
The-Town and the Highway Superintendent. Mrs. Johnson from Rockingham questioned the
enforceability of stop signs. Supervisor Jiava said that with a stop sign there it could then be
enforceable and the town could post policeman at their pleasure. Supervisor Jiava promised
patrol at the Rockingham stop signs for targetable enforcement.

5. Preliminary Budget
Councilman Kuzmicz read a letter from resident Lou Di Cocco from the Edgehill development
regarding Schlathaus Park and a capital plan. Letter Attached.
Dear Town of Wappingers Board,
My name is Louis DiCocco. I have lived in the Town for more than 50 years and I am here to
speak on behalf of the residents of Edgehill Manor and the Town as a whole.
For more than 3 years, I have been a volunteer member of the Town's Recreation Committee. In
that regard, I have been assigned to make regular visits and reports related to all of the facilities
associated with Martz Field and Schlathaus Park about the safety, aesthetics,perceived needs
and suggestions for betterment.
As a result of several meetings with the Supervisor, Ralph Holt, Chairperson of the Recreation
Committee and Councilman, Mike Kuzmicz, and as requested by the Supervisor, I have
submitted a list of priorities culled from the 2014 - 2016 reports. This includes an accumulation
of long standing tasks,jobs etc. that need to be completed at Schlathaus Park.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, I AM OPTIMISTIC VIA THE BOARD'S
APPARENT COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING ALL ASPECTS OF SCHLATHAUS PARK
WITH A CAPITAL PLAN THAT THE BOARD DISCUSSED IN OCT. 2016.
Due to past experiences,please understand my reservations and cautious optimism regarding the
actual finalization and implementation of the'PLAN'. However, based upon what I have
recently perceived, there appears to be a clear unity of purpose with Board members working as
a team to address the concerns identified. Please be aware that the community has the
expectation that the 'PLAN' -long overdue, will be put into action at the earliest date and the
chairperson will be kept informed and aware of possible concerns and progress with an on-going
commitment to restore Schlathaus so that this historical park can be upgraded to an exemplary
condition. This should be the direction we take so the Town can be proud of ALL Wappingers
facilities.
Please advise me if I can be of any further assistance toward the goals of revitalization and
beautification of our community.
I ask that you include this entire correspondence as part of the Nov. 9, 2016 minutes.
Thank you.
Louis DiCocco
