to submit them to the Board. Discussion followed.
Mr. Holt then noted that there is a problem with gaps in the ball field fences. He would

C. Justice Court HVAC Report (Closing) - Colsey/Gray
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:45 PM. Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town,
was present to give an update. Mr. Gray explained that the Justice Court Clerk, Cheryl Hait, had
been awarded a grant for $20,000 to be spent on the court facility. The Town Hall has had
problems with heating and air conditioning. The condition on the $20,000 was that it be spent by
February 2nd. Ms. Hait has received an extension. Mr. Gray described the work that has been
done since. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:46 PM.
D. Trans Care/Emergency Services Building - Colsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:46 PM. Rob Stuck, Chief Executive
Officer of the Transcare Mid -Hudson Division, was present to address the Board. Mr. Stuck
explained that Transcare took occupancy of the Emergency Services Building in October of
2006. Since then, they have had several issues. They have been working closely with the Town
to fix those problems. All problems are taken care of except for two. The first problem that
remains has to do with the fire alarm system. The second has to do with two boilers in the
building. One of the boilers hadn't been working since November of 2006. Transcare had the
boiler replaced two weeks ago. They are asking the Town to consider assisting them in paying
for that replacement, since it has been an outstanding issue and hasn't been working since the
beginning of their occupancy. He also noted that they had spent $21,000 in the past two and a
half years just on heating and air conditioning. Discussion followed.
Jim Horan, Town Attorney, read certain sections of the lease agreement with Transcare.
Mr. Stuck explained that there were verbal agreements with the previous administration having
to do with heating and air conditioning. Councilwoman McCarthy recommended tabling the
Resolution until she could get confirmation from Joe Ruggiero, former Town Supervisor.
Discussion followed. Mr. Horan read sections from the lease that addressed which repairs are
the responsibility of the tenant and which ones the Town was obligated to address. Supervisor
Colsey closed the discussion at 7:59 PM.

Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:59 PM. David Stolman, Town Planner,
was present to discuss the Comprehensive Plan. He explained that there is a State Environmental

Back in 2007, the Planner prepared a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS)
and a Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement (FGEIS) regarding the version of the
Comprehensive Plan version of that point in time. There have been changes made to the Draft
Plan. A Supplemental DGEIS has been prepared and submitted to the Town Board. The next
step would be for the Town Board to accept the SDGEIS and set a Public Hearing date. The
Public Hearing to be held on the current version of the Draft Comprehensive Plan would be held
on the same evening. Mr. Stolman explained the time requirements for the Notices of the Public
Hearing. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:05 PM.

Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:06 PM. He explained that the Town Board
authorized an RFP to audit the Town Accountant's Office. He also explained what the purpose
Torn of Wappinger Page 5 Printed 3/16/2009

of the audit was. Councilwoman McCarthy noted the Board discussed auditing all departments.
Councilman Bettina agreed that any department that takes in cash should be looked at.
Councilman Beale felt that the audit was going to be for the Accounting Department. He went
on to say that it seems redundant to have an independent audit of each department, when the
Town has an audit that occurs. Councilwoman McCarthy explained the justification for
expanding the audit. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:10 PM.
G. Route 9D Senior Project/ Establish Escrow - Beale/Bettina
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:10 PM. Councilman Beale and
Councilman Bettina explained the reasons that they asked for this to be added to the Agenda.
Councilman Bettina and Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, discussed the opinions that took place
at the Water and Sewer Committee Meetings pertaining to this project. Councilwoman
McCarthy pointed out that the allowing of an escrow to be set up does not obligate the Town to
anything. Supervisor Colsey confirmed that this is exploratory at this point.
Larry Paggi, the engineer for this project, gave a presentation on the benefits of the
development. He discussed three main benefits. The first benefit had to do with the types of
services that would be provided at this complex. The second benefit was the expansion of
infrastructure that this would provide. The third benefit was the fact that this project is a good
project and is ready to move forward in this tough economic time. Discussion followed about
the water capacity in the Meadowood District and improvements that may need to be done to
ensure that water is available.
Councilman Beale asked what is preventing this applicant from opening an escrow.
Supervisor Colsey replied that there is a Resolution on the Agenda to set the escrow. Supervisor
Colsey closed the discussion at 8:19 PM.

IX. Items for Special Consideration
Supervisor Colsey's Statement
Supervisor Colsey noted that the Town Accountant's Office had given him a stack of
bills. He is asking that the Board look at the bills before they consider adding them.
X. New Business
Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale noted that the Camwath Event Committee had a Meeting. They met
with representatives from the Bardavon and Legion Fireworks. They discussed the possibility of
having an Independence Day celebration. He went on to say that future meetings will take place
including the Highway Superintendent, Chairman of the Recreation Commission and Town
Patrol. The plan is gaining momentum. The main challenges are access and parking.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked who was on the Committee. Councilman Beale replied that he,
Councilman Paoloni and Town Clerk Masterson were on the Committee. Councilwoman
McCarthy recommended thinking about opening the Committee up to the public. Councilman
Beale pointed out that this is still in the early stages. Councilwoman McCarthy went on to say
that, if they are going to include people, it should be an open process as opposed to handpicking
people. Councilman Beale again noted that the people involved at this point are people that
would be directly involved with the event. At the next stage, he plans to expand to the
Recreation Commission, Friends of Camwath and so on.
Councilman Beale then commented on a piece of correspondence that he received from
the Town Attorney pertaining to the lowering of the flag to half-staff. The letter states that the
local municipality has the authority to lower the flag. He also noted that Eleanor Croshier passed
away recently. He had asked the Town Clerk to find out if she was employed by the Town.
Discussion followed.
Councilman Bettina New Business
Councilman Bettina noted that the Water and Sewer Committee had met. He discussed
Town of Wappinger Page 12 Printed 3//6/2009
Town Board Meeting Minutes March 10, 2009
some of the things that the Committee discussed. Councilman Bettina then commented on the
9D project that was on the Agenda earlier in the course of the Meeting.
Councilwoman McCarthy New Business
Councilwoman McCarthy recommended having the Water and Sewer Committee and the
Recycle Center Committee draft a mission statement. This would ensure that a small amount of
board members are not screening projects that come before those committees first, before
coming before the Town Board. Discussion followed.
