2. Recreation Dept. Update
Town of Wappinger Page 15 Printed 6/19/2018
Regular Meeting Minutes June 11, 2018
IX.
Director Fulton notified the board that only 95 kids have registered for summer camp despite a
capacity for 150 children. She cited an average of 127 per year. The Director and Supervisor
discussed a plan to open it up to non-residents to fill the unused capacity. Councilman Kuzmicz
said that this is something that should be done before the season begins to prepare for proper
staffing. Director Fulton responded that this is only to fill the unused capacity that had already
been planned for and staffed for. The non -town residents will be charged $50. It will be
monitored on a daily basis and closed out when 150 children have been reached.
A discussion ensued on various topics regarding preparing for Community Day activities.
Director Fulton handed out paperwork to the board on Recreation Software. This software
allows for online registration and processing payments along with many other features.
Recreation will need to open a bank account similar to what the Town Clerk and Receiver of
Taxes have. Software price is $3,300 per year for a revenue range of $50-$100K. It would run
from the date of signing out 365 days. Price varies on the revenue generated. If revenue ranged
from 100-200k range then price would be $3,600.

The Recreation Department has been made aware that the use of Robinson
Lane by outside leagues has put a financial strain on the Town of Wappinger Little
League. Some supplies that are designated for the use of Little League are being
used to prepare the fields for teams that are paying the Town of Wappinger for the
use of the fields but are not part of Little League. We would like to propose the
following budget transfers to cover the cost of the additional supplies to be kept on
hand out at Robinson lane to be used to prepare the fields for the use of non -Little

Dutchess County Mayors and Supervisors:
On March 8, 2000 the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council approved Greenway
Connections: Greenwav Compact Proaram and Guides for Dutchess Countv Communities as Dutchess
County's Greenway Compact strategy, establishing it as the model for the rest of the Hudson Valley. In the
following years, 29 out of the county's 30 municipalities adopted Greenway Connections as a voluntary set of
principles and guidelines and began to receive the additional advantages of belonging to the Greenway
Compact. Among the multiple benefits, Dutchess County and local governments have been awarded over $2
million in Greenway -related grants.
Greenway Connections was always intended to be a living document with new Greenway Guides to be
added to the three-ring binder at the request of local representatives and agencies. After previews of draft
guides in the Dutchess County Planning Federation newsletter and at various presentations for public
comments, the following seven new Greenway Guides have been approved by the Greenway Council for
adoption by Greenway Compact communities: Centers and Greenspaces; Slower, Safer Streets; Rural Roads,-
Building
oads;Building Bicycle Networks; Convenience Stores with Gas Pumps; and Recycling and Waste Collection; Green
Infrastructure_
The Greenway Guides have proven to be useful planning tools for municipal board members. This
success is predicated on the fact that the Guides simply provide options and can be used in discretionary
decisions when local officials deem appropriate. It should be reinforced that neither the Greenway Guides nor
the Greenway Compact limit home rule, supersede local regulations, or impose any requirements.
The local laws adopting Greenway Connections contained a provision for amendments to the document
by resolution of the local legislative body within 90 days of receipt of any proposed changes. Included in this
packet are copies of the seven new Guides, a draft adoption resolution, and a draft Short Environmental
Assessment Form with descriptive narrative under the State Environmental Quality Review Act to help simplify
the process. Officials should coordinate the adoption procedures with their local attorneys.
Additional copies of Greenway Connections, including the seven new Guides, are available from the
Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development online at:

For every question in Part 2 that was answered "moderate to large impact may occur", or if there is a need to explain why a
particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact, please

term, long-term and cumulative impacts.
See Attached Part 1 Narrative.
Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation,
that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an

The message board signs at Schlathaus Park has been in very poor shape for
quite some time now. The tracks for the letters are coming off of the backing
because the backing has rotted.
In accordance with the procurement policy for purchases under $7,500; two
quotes have been received. It is my recommendation that we purchase the sign
replacement from Fast Signs. The attached quote includes the installation of the
signs on the existing posts which are still in good condition as well as new sets of
letters for the signs.

SUBJECT` REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER THE PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW
PURSUANT TO COURT DECISIONS
Verizon New York Inc. ("Verizon") hereby submits its quarterly franchise fee report in accordance with our Cable
Franchise Agreement. The attached report shows Verizon's revenues for monthly recurring cable service charges,
usage -based charges, and certain other miscellaneous revenues. Also shown, as offsets, are sales taxes collected,
if any, and any uncollectibles and deferrals.
Verizon respectfully requests confidential treatment under the confidentiality provisions of the Franchise
Agreement and Public Officers, Law § 87(2)(d) (the Freedom of Information Law or "FOIL:) for the enclosed and
all prior and future quarterly submissions of revenue data relevant to the computation of its cable television
franchise fees. Verizon requests that you refrain from disclosure of these reports in accordance with the
Agreement, FOIL, and recent court decisions.
The Appellate Division has ruled that the attached information falls "squarely within the statutory exemption to
FOIL disclosure under Public Officers Law § 87(2)(d) for records 'which if disclosed would cause substantial
injury to the competitive position of the subject enterprise,"' In re Vcrizon.N.Y, Inc. v. Mills, 60 A.D.3d 958, 959
0
(2d Dep't 2009). The court found that "[t]he information contained in Verizon's franchise reports was a trove -J
of information compiled by Verizon that would allow Cablevision to target Verizon's actual and potential 0
customers with respect to various services." Id. at 960. See also Verizon X Y, Inc, v. Devita, 60 A.D.3d 956, 956-
57 (2d Dep't 2009) (companion case to Mills likewise holding that the franchise fee reports fall within the FOIL
Q
exemption). Since the purpose of the: franchise is to foster competition, it would be counter-productive to release E
such a "trove" of information, which would only stifle competition that benefits your community and its residents.
Accordingly, Verizon respectfully asks that the municipality not grant any FOIL request for the franchise fee
reports. In the event you disagree, Verizon requests that you provide notification of any intention to disclose any
report in order to allow Verizon the opportunity to seek appropriate relief in advance of such planned. disclosure.
Respectfully submitted,
Brad Wright
