Special Meeting Minutes July 23, 2008
V. Discussions
A. Town Servers - Craig Roberts
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:07 PM. Craig Roberts, of Duality, Inc.,
was present to discuss an issue with the Town servers. Mr. Roberts explained that the servers are
two generations old. They were installed over five years ago and were considered a generation
behind even at the time of installation. They are running Windows 2000 Server. The
motherboard and some of the hardware components are outdated and obsolete now.
Supervisor Colsey asked if there were security or hardware problems due to this. Mr.
Roberts answered that there are hardware compatibility problems. He went on to explain some
of the problems in detail.
Councilman Beale asked if the Town had anything budgeted for technology capital
improvements. Supervisor Colsey answered that there is some money in "Central Data
Processing". That money wasn't specifically allocated for this issue, but there is a bond on the
Agenda that would cover it. With no further comments or questions, Supervisor Colsey closed
the discussion at 7:09 PM.
B. Horton House - David Stolman
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:09 PM. David Stolman, Town Planner,
described the Horton House. The home is on the federal and state historic registers. The owners
would like to have house tours, receptions and similar events. They contend that they have an
informal agreement with with the church next door. Mr. Stolman was asked to put together a
first draft of some regulations for this kind of use. He went on to read the material that he
prepared. At the conclusion of the presentation, Mr. Stolman noted that this group of standards
should be enough to give the Planning Board enough authority to make sure that what is being
proposed is regulated properly. Supervisor Colsey asked what actions needed to be taken. Mr.
Stolman answered that the Board could provide him with comments to be incorporated into the
package. Councilman Beale noted that one of the intended functions of this property would have
something to do with weddings. He asked how that fits in to this. Mr. Stolman answered that
the Councilman is referring to "Receptions and similar events". The applicant doesn't intend to
bring in food from catering establishments. Discussion about parking and maximum occupancy
followed. Councilman Beale added that he would like the law to include maximum tent size. He
also questioned how there could be a section prohibiting amplified speaking or music if there are
going to be wedding receptions at the site. Mr. Stolman noted the recommendations. Supervisor
Colsey closed the discussion at 7:24 PM.
C. Highway Garage Report - Councilman Beale, Councilwoman McCarthy
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:24 PM. Councilman Beale explained that
the Buildings Committee had a meeting at the Highway garage on Wednesday, July 2nd, at
11:00 AM. Councilman Beale, Highway Superintendent Graham Foster, Director of Code
Enforcement George Kolb, and Engineer to the Town Bob Gray were in attendance. They all
walked through the buildings together. Councilman Beale noted that the Engineer to the Town
feels that the Environmental Audit is very important. Mr. Gray went on to discuss why it is
important. In summary, the Town should know what pollutants are in the ground and what
mitigation may be required before making any improvements. Mr. Gray has solicited bids from
five firms to perform the audit.
The Engineer then discussed his plan in terms of short term and long term plans. The
short term plans were affected by the approaching winter. Addressing the needs of the office
staff is the first order of business. There also needs to be a separation between the office and the
garage. One solution would be to get a trailer to house the employees and locate it on site.
Another option would be to convert the old voting machine storage building. Yet another
alternative would be to relocate some of the personnel off-site. Mr. Gray noted that certain
personnel could not be relocated and must remain on-site. In terms of long term solutions, the
renovation of the voting machine building may be an option. Mr. Gray looked for direction
from the Board.
Councilman Bettina felt that Mr. Gray's recommendations are solid. He understands the
Highway Superintendents need to be on-site. Mr. Gray added that it is clear that Terry needs to
be there. Karol and Graham may not need to be. Discussion followed. Mr. Gray returned the
discussion to short term problems that need to be addressed. One such problem involves the
heating units in the building. There needs to be some sort of safe heating in the buildings. It
seems to make sense to run a natural gas line from Old Route 9. He also commented on the
option of using geothermal energy or photovoltaic panels. Some other garages use waste oil
heaters. Discussion followed.
Councilman Beale mentioned the option of putting solar panels on the salt sheds. He
feels that this is a good time to look at bringing the gas line to the site or possibly using waste oil.
Town of Wappinger Page 2 Printed 7/30/2008
Special Meeting Minutes July 23, 2008
Mr. Gray noted that there are short term winter -related problems, code violations and ventilation
concerns that need to be addressed. The whole electric situation and carbon monoxide problem
need to be handled as well. Another short term project would be the reinforcement of the roof of
shop 2. Discussions about the roofs followed.
Councilman Beale asked what the options were to repair the existing office. Mr. Gray
replied that they could create a new fire separation wall. The problem is that the office isn't big
enough for everyone. It would also need to be insulated and the electric would need to be
upgraded. Councilman Beale noted that they would need something prepared for the next Board
Meeting.
Councilman Bettina asked where the septic system is. Mr. Kolb answered that, based on
information from the Highway Superintendent, the septic is off the north side of the office and to
the east of shop 2. In terms of renovating the voting machine building, Mr. Kolb feels that the
septic can be tied into. Mr. Gray added that the site uses Village water.
Supervisor Colsey asked for a comparison between going with a trailer and rehabilitating
the building. Mr. Gray answered that he found a trailer that costs $300 per month with a $3000
set up fee and a take down fee of $1500. This trailer is not large enough though. Supervisor
Colsey calculated that this is roughly $10,000 for the first year. Mr. Gray confirmed and
assumed that a larger, more suitable trailer would be about another $100 per month. Supervisor
Colsey asked how much it would cost to rehab the building. Mr. Kolb estimated that it could
cost about $30,000. Mr. Gray added that it could be a little bit more. Discussion followed.
Councilman Beale asked for a comparison proposal for the next meeting. Supervisor Colsey
commented that he would hate to turn the next meeting into another discussion. He doesn't see
why the Board isn't making a decision. He feels that the Board has just heard the comparison.
Mr. Gray added that the decision is down to the trailer or spending money on the existing
building. From what he has heard, they would still need to provide on-site quarters for Terry
even if the Board chooses to find space off-site. He went on to say that it would take a month to
get the building in shape to occupy. Supervisor Colsey noted that he does not know what needs
to be compared. He asked for the opinion of the Board. Councilman Beale and Councilman
Bettina stated that the Highway Superintendent needs to remain on site. Discussion followed.
Mr. Kolb pointed out that, if the decision is to remodel the voting machine building, the
work could be completed without impacting the daily operation of the site. He discussed what
would need to be done. Supervisor Colsey asked if there was anyone on the Board that was
opposed to authorizing that a floor plan and specs be designed for this work. Councilman
Paoloni asked if this was on the Agenda as an action item. Supervisor Colsey answered that he
is trying to give the professionals direction. Councilman Paoloni then noted that he does not
have the report on this building. He went on to discuss the report done by the insurance broker.
He would like to have those reports to make a decision. He asked if the insurance carrier was at
the site for the walk through. Mr. Gray and Councilman Beale replied that Jack Peluse, the
insurance broker from Marshall & Sterling, was at the site. Councilman Paoloni asked if the
insurance broker has the power to hold the policy in abeyance. He has contacted other insurance
companies, and those companies find this strange as well. For that reason, he would like to keep
a record of the official reports. According to the Councilman, Marshall & Sterling stated that
this site was inspected in March of this year. They also did not know that the letter had been
drafted. One of the insurance companies commented that it is very unusual for an insurance
company to just cancel insurance once it's been approved. Councilman Paoloni would like to
know if the insurance company was at the site or if the broker was there acting in an engineering
capacity. Discussion about the inspection, the report and the abeyance followed.
Councilman Bettina asked if it were correct that the Supervisor is asking that the Town
get an estimate to renovate the building so that a decision can be made at the next meeting.
Supervisor Colsey confirmed. Councilman Paoloni mentioned the facts that statements have
been made asking why the Board should waste time when they could make a decision right now
and Marshall & Sterling made a statement that the policy will be held in abeyance for 60 days.
He disagrees with expediting the process and noted that the Marshall & Sterling statement is
inaccurate. Councilman Beale added that he would like Jack Peluse to appear before the Board
as well. Councilman Paoloni agreed. Councilman Bettina asked the Town Attorney, Jim Horan,
for comments on the Marshall & Sterling letter. Mr. Horan commented that the letter says
nothing about cancelling the policy. Discussion followed.
Mr. Gray described the estimates that he will obtain for the Town Board to look at.
Councilman Bettina made a motion to allow the Town Engineer to come up with a set of
standards to design and specifications for the building known as the voter machine storage
building. Mr. Kolb asked that it be clear that he has provided the Board with his report, the Fire
Inspector's report and the Engineer to the Town's report. He will provide them again.
Councilman Beale seconded the motion. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey clarified the
motion. He stated that the Attorney is doing some type of layout and design/cost estimation,
amended to include heating and ventilation estimates. The motion passed unanimously.

D. Mileage Reimbursement - Councilman Beale
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:07 PM. Councilman Beale referenced a
memo that was submitted by the Highway Superintendent, Graham Foster. The memo notes that
the Town's mileage policy calls for reimbursement at a rate of $0.325 per mile. There is a
Resolution calling for an increase to $0.505. On June 23rd, the IRS increased the rate to $0.585.
Supervisor Colsey stated that the particulars can be discussed during the Resolutions portion of
the Agenda. The discussion was then closed at 8:07 PM.
E. Dog Park - Bob Gray
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:07 PM. The Engineer to the Town, Bob
Gray, explained that the Town Board had asked him to look at land on the intersection of Old
Hopewell Road and All Angels Hill Road as a possible location for the dog park. That property
entirely composed of DEC wetlands. Mr. Gray then brought up the possibility of putting the dog
park at Carnwath. The Board then discussed the area on the right hand side of the entrance road.
Mr. Gray commented that this would require 1500 feet of fencing. Councilman Paoloni did not
like the idea of putting a fence around such a nice open area. He asked if the dog park could be
put in the back of the park. Mr. Gray answered that there are certainly other areas that can be
looked at. Councilman Bettina described dog parks that other municipalities have. He has had
constituents asking about this for 7 or 8 months. He would like something done. Discussion
followed. Councilman Paoloni noted that there will be a walk-through of the property on
Monday, July 28th, at 6:00 PM. Councilman Beale described the dog park that the Village of
Wappingers Falls will be building. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:19 PM.
VI. Comprehensive Plan Update - David Stolman
A. Obercreek
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:20 PM. Jennifer Van Tuyl was present to
address the Board on behalf of the applicant, Alex Reese. Ms. Van Tuyl explained that the
previously filed request is being withdrawn. She noted a comment made during a Town Board
Meeting that took place last December that the change in land use designation as part of the
Comprehensive Plan may not be appropriate. She also pointed out that there didn't seem to be a
"clear and deep consensus" among the various Town Board Members over the years. The
applicant understands that they would be obligated to submit a formal rezoning petition with a
site specific analysis should they seek density increases or changes in zoning. Supervisor Colsey
closed the discussion at 8:23 PM.
VII. Public Portion
Motion To: suspend the Rules for Public Comment on the Agenda Items

Comments on the Agenda Item
Councilman Bettina made a motion to suspend the Rules for public comment on the
Agenda items. The motion was seconded by Councilman Beale and passed unanimously.
The first resident to speak was Gertrude O'Dell. She asked to speak about Resolution
2008-218. She asked why the Board would grant this petition when the applicant hasn't met all
Town of Wappinger Page 4 Printed 7/30/2008
Special Meeting Minutes July 23, 2008
of the things that have been required. Supervisor Colsey explained that this Resolution would
only be setting the Public Hearing to allow the applicant to ask for a hardship. Councilman
Bettina added that any applicant can ask for a hardship but the Town Board is not bound to grant
it. Councilman Paoloni asked who sponsored this Resolution and how it got on the Agenda. Jim
Horan, Town Attorney explained the exemption process.
Councilman Bettina made a motion to reinstate the Rules. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Paoloni and passed unanimously.

Special Meeting Minutes July 23, 2008
XII. New Business
A. Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale asked the Engineer to the Town, Bob Gray, to look into the light
district situation on Steinhaus Lane. He summarized that the residents would like a street light in
the cul-de-sac.
Councilman Beale also noted that there seems to be a miscommunication regarding an
appointment of Mary Schmalz to a position for the Quadricentennial. Supervisor Colsey noted
that he had spoken with Mrs. Schmalz and told her that he will put the topic on the August 11th,
2008 Town Board Agenda.
B. Councilman Bettina New Business
Councilman Bettina had been contacted by residents of Chelsea asking for a stop sign.
He will be approaching the Engineer to the Town to see about putting a stop sign in the area.
C. Councilman Paoloni New Business
Councilman Paoloni asked how much longer it will be until the Board Members can get
some kind of Trial Balances. Supervisor Colsey answered that the Town has been recreating
budgets. Councilman Paoloni noted that it is difficult making decisions without information.
D. Supervisor Colsey New Business
Supervisor Colsey noted that the Chelsea beautification sign has been found in the Town
Hall and will be replaced as soon as possible. Councilman Bettina added that a vintage WWI
machine gun had been stolen from that area as well.
XIII. Comprehensive Plan - David Stolman Update
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 9:28 PM. David Stolman, Town Planner,
noted that they have been working on the Comprehensive Plan. He would like to be in a position
to give the Town Board a new complete draft, based upon all of the discussions, so that he can
finish the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. Councilman Paoloni commented that
he has the 2005 Comprehensive Plan with him. He recommends that items, such as the
Obercreek item that was just on the Agenda, be taken out. Mr. Stolman agreed. Supervisor
Colsey thanked Mr. Stolman for providing the most up-to-date version of the Plan so that it
could be posted to the Town website. Councilman Beale commented that the website looks
good. He thanked the Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, for the work he did on posting Town Board
Minutes to the site. He noted that there are Minutes back to the 1870's posted. Councilman
Bettina asked to note for the record that he would like the IT staff to put the Councilmember's
photographs and phone numbers back on the website. Helen Fuimarello asked for clarification
on Mr. Stolman's update. Mr. Stolman replied that he would like to be in a position to present
the Board with the final draft of the Comprehensive Plan. There are two components that the
Town is waiting for so that a complete final draft can be completed. Those components are
Obercreek and Cranberry. The Board thanked Mr. Stolman for his work to date.
