WHEREAS, Town Hall is currently serviced with a heating and ventilation system
which was installed in Town Hall in 1985; and

HVAC failures during 2008 requiring non-scheduled service calls; and
WHEREAS, the existing HVAC system lacks the ability to control the periods of usage
and temperature thereby increasing energy costs and affecting personal comfort; and

ventilation system from New York State in the amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars
($20,000.00); and
WHEREAS, such grant is conditioned upon the utilization of such moneys solely within
the portions of the building serving the Justice Court no later than March 2, 2009; and
WHEREAS, after due deliberation, the Town Board has determined that it is the best
interests of the function of the Justice Court, its personnel and those served by the Court, plus in
the general interest of the residents of Wappinger to conserve energy, provide a lesser impact
upon the environment, and minimize expenses by authorizing the solicitation of bids for the
replacement of the heating and ventilation system within the Town of Wappinger Justice Court.
