The following Resolution was introduced by Casella and seconded by Councilwoman Bettina.
WHEREAS, the Town of Wappinger is subject to the MS -4 regulations of the USEPA and the NYS
Department of Environmental Conservation; and
WHEREAS, owners of the Town of Wappinger have reported erosion conditions on properties located
on Sherwood Heights and Carmel Heights that are causing the discharge of sediment into the MS -4 systems of
the Town of Wappinger and the County of Dutchess on All Angels Hill Road; and
WHEREAS, the Town needs professional engineering services to analyze the area contributing
stormwater to the affected area and to design effective stormwater practices to reduce erosion and effectively
convey the stormwater into the MS -4 systems, minimizing sediments entering into the system; and
WHEREAS, the Town has received a proposal from CPL, a duly licensed engineering firm, to provide
the required stormwater investigation and designs; and
WHEREAS, the professional services of an engineer are not subject to competitive bidding; now,
therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board has reviewed the attached proposal from CPL in the amount
of $13,000 and has determined that it is reasonable and the Supervisor is hereby authorized to sign the proposal
on behalf of the Town; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that appropriation for this proposal shall be made from Unallocated B
Fund Balance and the Comptroller shall amend the budget accordingly; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that payment shall be made upon vouchers reviewed and approved as
required by law; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution shall take effect immediately.
The foregoing was put to a vote which resulted as follows:
