The following Resolution was introduced by Councilman Beale and seconded by Casella.
WHEREAS, from time to time the Town of Wappinger may come into possession of private
vehicles during the execution of Town functions; and
WHEREAS, in some instances the Town must act as a bailee of the vehicles and must store them
in a secure location, such as the Town Highway Garage; and
WHEREAS, when the Town acts as a bailee it incurs the cost of insurance, inspection and other
security expenses which should be recovered by means of a storage charge imposed upon the
owner at the time of the redemption of the vehicle;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby determines that a
reasonable storage fee for a vehicle is $50.00 per day for each day, or part of a day, that the
vehicle is in possession of the Town; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the storage fee is due and payable at the time of redemption
of the vehicle and such payment shall be made by bank check, money order or electronic funds
transfer.
