The following Resolution was introduced by Casella and seconded by Councilwoman Bettina.
WHEREAS, the Environmental Facilities Corporation awarded a $30,000 Engineering Planning Grant
(EPG) to the Town of Wappinger for an engineering report to identify sources of inflow and infiltration in the
Fleetwood Sewer District, evaluate alternatives, and recommend improvements to the District's wastewater
treatment and collection system; and
WHEREAS, the conditions of the EPG program require the Town of Wappinger to appropriate 20%
matching funds for the project; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Wappinger Town Board authorizes and appropriates a minimum of
20% local match as required by the Engineering Planning Grant Program (EPG) for the Fleetwood Sewer District
Study. Under the EPG program, this local match must be at least 20% of the EPG grant award of $30,000. The
source of the local match, and any amount in excess of the required match, shall be funded through the unallocated
fund balance of the Fleetwood Sewer District and the General Fund. The maximum local match shall not exceed
$6,000 based upon a total estimated maximum project cost of $30,000.00. The Town Supervisor may increase this
local match through the use of in -kind services without further approval from the Town of Wappinger Town
Board; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby directed to provide a certified copy of
this Resolution to the Environmental Facilities Corporation as required by the EPG program.
The foregoing was put to a vote which resulted as follows:
