My last letter to you dated March 13, 2023 has been responded to with some confusing questions, I
apologized for being incorrect.
I want to go in to your town hall and (FOIA) and read the two most recent lawsuits filed against your
town by any land owner who has been damaged by the town, anyone who works for the town and or an
employee for the town. Any and all easements and or right a ways that was placed on the land owners
land by anyone for any reason. I'm sure you would know of this information since you are the official
records keeper.
I also want to make copy's of any and all material with in the lawsuit folders including payment
vouchers, canceled checks from the towns Insurance company and or Insurance company's, from the
town and or any other payment source.
Further more I want to read the official town minute books.
From what I have read and been explained to me by other town clerks, this is tax payers money and I
have ever legal right to this information.
I'm not asking for any personal information
Lastly, the town clerks who did call and or e-mail me, wouldmuch prefer to e-mail me with their
response, no problem.
Thank you

Mr. Demasi:
I am the attorney to the Town of Wappinger.
Your FOIL Request has been forwarded to me. Your request is really a question rather than a request for
a particular document. Any summons and complaint served upon the Town of Wappinger is a public
record that is subject to FOIL. The court papers filed in the Town are public records and can be reviewed
by the public and may be copied as any other document. The Town Clerk may not be in possession of all
documents from the litigation.
Your FOIL request lacks any specificity as to what specific document(s) are being requested so no
documents will be sent in response to this request. If there is a specific document that you are
requesting you may do so.

Subject: RE: F.O.I.L.
Court papers filed with the Court are public records. NYS and the Federal Courts require that social
security numbers and other sensitive information be redacted. Any court document served on the Town
could also be obtained from the Court.
The Court document filed in the Town would be available to the public, including settlement documents,
but redactions could be made. The Town could redact sensitive information like the home address of an
employee if it chooses to do so.
Notices of Claims would be treated differently as they might contain sensitive information and litigation
had not yet commenced.

Re: July_15th FOIL Request seeking a copy of a written Workplace Violence Report filed by an
employee; the Harassment Claim per Craig Bova• and the Investigation reports from Ken Bernstein
Mr, Kramer:
Under the direction of the Town's labor and employment counsel, the Town Supervisor, and the Town
Board, regarding a similar FOIL discussed at the April 251h Town Board Meeting's Executive session; your
July 151h FOIL request seeking the aforementioned items has been denied. The reason they gave for this
denial is that the complaint contains allegations that have not yet been fully investigated. As a result, I
was told that providing even a copy or a `name redacted' copy at this time would constitute an
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of any person named or implied by title or by context clues in
the complaint per the following statutes:
New York Public Officers Law Section 89(2)

For Appeal you will need to contact the Town Supervisor Lori Jiava or the Town Board, i.e. the governing
body, by letter within 7 business days of your receipt of this registered letter to file a written appeal of
this denial.
