As the only non-voting member, we strive to work amicably with you to make our three - decade long partnership work in the best way possible for all parties involved. However, when past practices and misinterpretations impede our government operations, it is important that I share our concerns with you. The Town of Wappinger has paid in advance for our quarterly billing based on a poor interpretation of our 1991 agreement. We do not contest the method in which we are paying the commission but rather the amounts that we are paying due to estimated payments due to pre -payment. This has caused consistent credits to our account, as we do not have the correct amount due to paying in advance. The 1991 agreement between the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission and the Town of Wappinger clearly states that "the initial payment far operation and maintenance by the Town shall he made in advance based on estimated flow: This agreement is necessary so that the Commission might ght have in handfiinds to de ftqy the initial cost of treating the 7bwns sewage. This amount shall be paid prior to admitting the Town of Wappinger sflow to the treatmentj" eilities, " Simply, the 1991 agreement does not mandate the Town of Wappinger pay in advance for every quarterly payment, only the first payment prior to connecting in 1991. On the contrary, the agreement states that the method of payment that the Town pays the Commission should be the same as Town of Poughkeepsie and Village of Wappingers Falls. In confinning with both municipalities neither of them pre -pay each quarter. On behalf of the thousands of residents who are tenants to the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission, I request that the Town of Wappinger be allowed to pay our quarterly bill upon receipt of a bill provided to us showing our actual flows.
