VII. Discussions
A. Joint Community Building- Colsey/Alexander
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:09 PM and introduced Matt Alexander, the
Mayor of the Village of Wappingers Falls. Mayor Alexander was joined by the Village
Engineer, Jay Paggi, and Trustees Weitlich and Calabrese. The Village is asking the Board to
allow River Bend 2, which is a project before the Village Planning Board, to connect a pipe to
Tri -Muni. This would eliminate the need for a pump station and would be good for the
developer. It would be a better way to move the sewage in a gravity fed system more directly to
the Tri -Muni system. Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Village, explained that the pipe to be connected
is just a few feet away from the property line. If the Town Board does not allow this, an on sight
pump station would be constructed to pump from there to the existing collection line of the
village, on Route 9, in the vicinity of Medicus and Double O Grill.
Councilman Bettina stated that, as a member of the committee that sat with the Village,
from an economical and environmental standpoint, maybe the connection makes good sense. He
went on to say that Dutchess County Department of Health would like to see the elimination of
pump stations; to take the gravity feed and make it work. He is in support of the project with the
understanding that it is not expanding the Town's Tri- Municipal.
Councilwoman McCarthy questioned the impact of 60 units on the Town. Mr. Paggi
stated that it would affect the Town's capacity and a calculation would need to be done so that it
doesn't adversely affect the trunk line. The Trunk line was designed for a full build out of the
Town. Discussion followed.

Town Board Meeting Minutes February 23, 2009
Councilwoman McCarthy asked, if the Town were to deny this request, who would bear
the cost of the pump station. Mr. Paggi replied that the developer would bear the cost.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked how much the pump station would cost. Mr. Paggi answered
that it would cost approximately $100,000.
Supervisor Colsey stated that Mr. Horan was at the meeting serving in the capacity of the
Town, but also represents the Village. Councilman Paoloni and Councilwoman McCarthy asked
if that would be a conflict. Mr. Horan commented that this is not an adversarial relationship.
Councilwoman McCarthy noted that it does not have to be adversarial to not be proper.
Councilman Beale noted that, from an environmental standpoint, it would be a much
more efficient and streamlined method to use an existing truck line that is in the vicinity of the
project. He went on to say that the Town and the Village have a history of sharing services when
it come to water and sewer. Councilman Paoloni asked if these projects that Councilman Beale
was referring to were projects that the Town solicited, or if they were private arrangements
between the development and the Village. Discussion followed. Councilman Paoloni noted that
it is long overdue that the Town of Wappinger had equal representation on the Tri -Muni Board.
Councilman Beale asked how it came about that the Town opted out of the Tri -Muni Board.
Councilman Paoloni replied that it was a public referendum that was written unclearly to the
resident. The Town has since indicated its desire to be on the Board. The Town was quoted a
price of $1 Million to get onto that Board. With regards to the concept of a good working
relationship, he would probably consider asking the Village for $1 Million as a stroke of good
faith. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if the project and the seats on the Tri -Muni Board were
tied together. Supervisor Colsey and Mayor Alexander replied that they were independent.
Discussion followed. Mayor Alexander asked the Board what they would do with the Hannaford
capacity if it was not going through the Village. Councilman Paoloni pointed out that this was
an agreement that the Village negotiated with the plaza, it was not the Town's agreement. He felt
that for the Village to arbitrarily decide to walk away and not live up to their side of the
agreement is not good business. Mayor Alexander noted that the Village actually has the right, if
it has capacity problems, to take an outside -the -village user off the rolls. The capacity for the
Wappinger Plaza contract matches the capacity needed for the River Bend 2 project. He also
stated that the Village supplies 48 Million gallons of water and sewer capacity for $41 Million
worth of real estate on Route 9. Councilwoman McCarthy commented that those are private
agreements. Mayor Alexander replied that they would have to go through the Town.
Councilwoman McCarthy answered that the agreements were negotiated between the Village
and those businesses, for whatever reason the Village wanted to do it. She said that she is simply
trying to understand the history behind the facts that he was giving. She had found out that they
were all private agreements in which the Village benefited from selling their water. She noted
that it seems as though certain things are contingent on the Town's approval of this request, such
as: the two seats on the Tri -Muni Board and continuing to provide Hannaford with water. It
sounds a little bit like a threat to her. Mayor Alexander explained that the Village is interested in
working with the Town so much so that, when Woodhill Green approached them six months ago
asking the Village to consider letting them to put their sewage into the Village system, the
Village didn't think to come back to the Town asking what was in it for them. Councilwoman
McCarthy answered that this would be another private agreement in which the Village still
wouldn't lose anything. Discussion followed.
Joseph Ruggiero commented on the situation. He asked the Board to keep in mind that
the Town has improvement areas. The people that live in the area that this main serves pay for
the main. If the Town was to take on this agreement, a tenancy outside the improvement area
would have to be created. The capital tax, capacity of the pipe and the Town's O&M would have
to be addressed. He then touched on a point brought up by Councilwoman McCarthy pertaining
to Hughsonville. The Town had wanted to go outside its own improvement area to revitalize
Hughsonville, but Tri -Muni turned the Town down. He thinks that Tri -Muni needs to be
consistent with the Town on reallocation of service outside of the area.
Councilman Paoloni noted that this was a lot of work just to save an applicant $100,000.
He asked how offensive a pump station would be. Mr. Paggi replied that there are numerous
pump stations throughout the Town. The Town had designed the sewer system in a way that
pump stations could be abandoned in favor of gravity flow through the years. Discussion
followed.
Councilman Bettina commented that the Town has no say as to whether the project can
be built out. Councilman Paoloni disagreed. He felt that the Town could have something to say
as far as the traffic that will be emptying out on to Myers Corners Road. Mr. Paggi explained the
SEQRA process.
Mayor Alexander noted that the Village Planning Board is still looking at the possibility
of having an access road from Myers Corners Road to New Hackensack Road.
Supervisor Colsey asked for the feeling of the Board. Councilman Beale has no
objections to this project. Councilman Bettina can support this, but wants a report on the impact
Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 3/15/2009
Town Board Meeting Minutes February 23, 2009
to the Town's capacity. Councilwoman McCarthy needs more questions answered before she
can support this. Councilman Paoloni added that the Commission has only existed for 3 or 4
meetings. He also noted that it is not enough just to consider two seats on the Tri -Muni
Commission. Councilman Beale agreed that the Town needs to explore opting back into the Tri -
Muni Commission, but feels that it is a separate issue. Supervisor Colsey supports this project.
Mayor Alexander then began the discussion about the joint community building. The
Village was awarded a grant by the Department of State to do a $115,000 local waterfront
revitalization plan. Extra money was in there to do five conceptual schematic designs for Village
parks. The Village has decided that it would like to move forward with landscaping of Veterans
Field. The Village approved a $10,000 landscape design to be done of Veterans Field. The
Village Recreation Committee has come up with all of the different uses that they would like.
One constant desire has been a community center. Veterans Field currently has a cinder block
concession stand. They would like to build a facility that would hold at least 125 people. The
proposal that is before the Town Board is for a facility larger than that and would include
parking on North Mesier Avenue. The facility could be used five days a week, from 9:00 AM to
2:00 PM as a senior center, and then from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM as an after-school place for kids.
They would like to participate with an intermunicipal agreement with the Town on that aspect as
well. The proposal from the design group is for a $6,700 concept plan. That would be used at a
later time to go out to bid for an architect to do the actual design work. Mayor Alexander then
distributed the proposal to the Board Members. There is also an opportunity for the Town and
Village to submit an appropriations request from Congressman Hall's office. He would like to
submit a package asking for 80% of the cost. His figure for this building is $1.25 Million, but
they could decide to do a smaller project. Mayor Alexander clarified that he is asking the Town
to sign onto this appropriation as if it was the Town of Wappinger appropriation. The Village is
already asking for $17 Million of other infrastructure work of a more critical nature.
Councilman Beale noted that he supports any initiatives to share services with the Village of
Wappingers Falls. Mayor Alexander added that the deadline is tonight. If the Town sent out the
appropriations request and decided that they did not want the money, they could refuse it at that
point. Discussion followed. Councilman Paoloni asked why this is coming up at the last minute.
Mayor Alexander replied that the federal government asked him at the last minute to put in an
appropriations request. Councilman Paoloni asked when this became a concept. Mayor
Alexander replied that it was 3-4 weeks ago. Supervisor Colsey added that he met with the
Mayor a week ago. Councilman Beale asked what needed to be decided tonight. Supervisor
Colsey clarified. Mayor Alexander added that the Town is just asking for the appropriation in
case they turn out to be interested. Councilwoman McCarthy stated that she has no problem
asking for the appropriation. Councilman Bettina added that he supports it as well. Councilman
Beale didn't understand why there was debate on this. He feels that this is an opportunity to get
federal funds. He also noted that the senior center in Wappinger is cramped. Councilman
Paoloni added that they are in the midst of a recession. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if it
were correct that the Town could use Parkland Trust for a senior center. Jim Horan, Town
Attorney, confirmed. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:10 PM.
B. Recycle Center - Paoloni/Beale/Masterson
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:11 PM. Councilman Bettina asked that the
Recycle Center topic be moved up in the Agenda as Royal Carting had been waiting in the
audience. The Board had no objection. Councilman Beale described the purpose of the Recycle
Center Committee. He explained that a Committee was formed to review the operations of the
Recycle Center, and to determine how to streamline the operations and reduce the deficit of
$147,000.00 per year. As of this time, no changes have been made except that the permit
stickers are no longer being issued. Before ordering a new roll of 500 permits, the Committee
would like to know what is going to be done.
Councilman Bettina noted that he has looked into the Towns of LaGrange and Union
Vale. He has received positive feedback about the job that Royal Carting is doing in those
Towns.
Councilman Paoloni noted the various options that the Committee has discussed.
James Constantino, from the law firm of Teahan and Constantino, representing Royal
Carting, was present to address the Board. Mr. Constantino discussed some things for the Board
to keep in mind as they move forward. He also went over the different levels of service that
Royal provides. He then argued against Councilman Beale's referring to the $147,000 as a
deficit, comparing the Recycle Center to a municipality's police department. Councilman Beale
explained his justification for describing the situation as a deficit. He gave examples of
neighboring towns that do the same thing and offset the expenses with permit fees. Discussion
followed.
Councilman Paoloni added that the volume at the Recycle Center is pretty heavy. When
there is no charge, people will make more trips with less items. With a charge in place, people
Town of Wappinger Page 4 Printed 3/15/2009
Town Board Meeting Minutes February 23, 2009
will fill up the vehicle more and make less trips. He also noted that the pennitting process
requires much effort and has problems as well. All of these problems go away with Royal
running the site. Some of the resident's taxes get defrayed. Those that use the site get the benefit
and those that don't use it shouldn't have to subsidize those that do.
At the request of Councilman Beale, Mr. Constantino described the operations that are in
place in other towns that have contracted with Royal. Councilman Beale asked to see the
contract that Royal has with LaGrange. Councilman Paoloni asked that a proposal be put
together. Mr. Constantino explained that this would have to go through a competitive bid
process. He pointed out that any firm would be concerned about presenting numbers that would
be presenting to the public but not presented in the form of a competitive bid. Discussion
followed.
Councilman Beale suggested that this item go back to committee for further discussion.
An anonymous resident in the audience commented that he uses the site and pays taxes to
use it. The resident's wife claimed that she would rather go directly to Royal now. Councilman
Beale explained that the resident would be spending more to go directly to Royal. The resident
also claimed that everyone will start dumping their trash on the sides of roads if there is a charge.
Councilman Paoloni explained that the resident is correct in that Wappinger residents are paying
taxes for residents of other towns throughout the County to use the site, and that is why the
changes are being made. Many other residents throughout the County are using the site and they
can't stop it. Highway Superintendent, Graham Foster, replied that that was Councilman
Paoloni's opinion. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:35 PM.
C. Recreation Guide/Fee Schedule - Colsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:39 PM. During budget time, the Town
Board requested a fee schedule to consider revenues and expenses for any of the Recreation
items. Supervisor Colsey put together a chart that shows that a few of the programs are losing
money; most notably is the camp. The Town is losing roughly $37,000 per year in that program.
He put together a chart for the Board to use to consider some fee modifications. Those
modifications were reviewed by Frederick Awino, the Town Accountant. Councilman Paoloni
added that this is similar to what they are trying to do with the Recycle Center: to make sure that
all of these Town programs are pass through and that those that are utilizing them are paying for
them. The present fee is One Hundred Dollars for 6 weeks. Supervisor Colsey is purposing to
raise the fee to One Hundred Seventy -Five Dollars from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It would also be
an additional Fifty Dollars if children are there for extended hours. Councilman Bettina
requested a footnote in the Recreation guide so parents will know that, if there aren't enough
people to sign up in the programs, they will be cancelled.
Councilwoman McCarthy noted that she has a problem with almost doubling fees. She
feels that this is a service that is provided and, if the fees are increased, they should be in
increments. Supervisor Colsey explained that she should also consider the market. In this area,
he noted, the average day care cost for one week is $225. The Town is charging roughly 3/4 of
that for 7 weeks. Councilman Beale added that the Town would be charging $25 per week with
the increase. He agreed that the Town should take multiple children into consideration.
Councilwoman McCarthy also noted that there are residents in her ward that use food pantries.
Doubling this fee will impact them. The low cost of the program does allow a lot of families to
let their children go to summer camp, when they wouldn't be able to afford day care or summer
camp at Casperkill. She understands the goal of making these charges a pass-through, but she
doesn't feel it can be done all at once. Discussion followed.
Councilman Paoloni noted that it would be much more difficult for seniors to earn a
competitive wage. He thinks that, if anyone is going to be constrained with the inflation, it
would be the seniors. The seniors are the group that the Town should have to subsidize a lot
more than any other group.
Councilwoman McCarthy commented that she was absent for the last Board Meeting as
her husband was in the hospital. She understands that the Board passed a Resolution to authorize
$5000 for hotel rooms for those that attended the Association of Towns of the State of New York
Annual Training Conference. She would rather give $5000 to the Recreation program.
Councilman Paoloni responded to the Councilwoman's comments about spending money
for the Association of Towns. He explained that the Board did not cut the education budget for
anyone in the Town. That is integral, he explained, to getting funds and grants. There were
many courses offered at the conference that showed the Town how to get over $50,000 - $60,000
for the Town. He went on to note that the Board was presently discussing $25.00. Councilman
Beale asked when the rate for the program was last increased. Joe Ruggiero and Councilwoman
McCarthy answered that it was raised two years ago. Every few years, he added, the Board
raises it. Supervisor Colsey went over each program and the proposed rates. He asked what the
Board's preference was for this.
Councilman Beale recommended going forward with the amended adjustments, a $25.00
Town of Wappinger Page 5 Printed 3/15/1009
Town Board Meeting Minutes February 23, 2009
increase on the summer camp. Supervisor Colsey clarified that it would be $125 for regular
hours and $175 for extended hours. Councilman Bettina agreed. Councilman Paoloni
recommended approving the increase.
Councilman Beale asked whether the Board would see the recreation guide before it was
distributed. Councilman Paoloni noted that the Town was going to use email and post it online
as opposed to mailing it out. Supervisor Colsey added that the Recreation Department has
proposed that 6000 booklets be printed and mailed. The cost would be roughly $8000. He
proposed printing less copies and have them at places of assembly and online. Councilman
Bettina recommended having advertisements in the guide to cover the costs. He noted that it can
be on the website, but feels that it should be sent out to everyone. Councilman Paoloni agreed
that they should print a minimal amount and offer it on the website. If there is a demand for hard
copies, they can print more. He does not feel that the Town should just indiscriminately mail
them out to houses when they don't have any feedback on the response rate. Councilwoman
McCarthy asked if the booklets could be given to students at school and have the students bring
the guides home. She noted that kids may use the Internet, but 52 year old parents may not.
Supervisor Colsey asked how many copies the Board would like to print. Discussion
followed. Councilman Beale, Councilman Bettina and Councilwoman McCarthy would like
6000 copies of the booklet printed and mailed out. Councilman Paoloni and Supervisor Colsey
disagreed. Supervisor Colsey noted that the Board was in favor of printing and mailing the
brochures by a proportion of 3:2. He then closed the discussion at 9:05 PM.
D. Rockingham Infrastructure Update - McCarthy/Foster/Gray
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 9:05 PM. Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town,
was asked to look at the curbing issue in Rockingham. He first noted that Rockingham
experiences approximately 30 water service breaks per year. The Town may want to replace
those service connections when doing the curbs. He then gave a summary of the current
condition of the curbs and the several options of curb replacement that the Board has to choose
from. The least expensive method would be "Country Curb". The cost of that curb is
approximately $4.00 per linear foot. He noted that there is about 50,000 lineal feet of curb. The
next alternative is "Concrete Stick -On Curb". The cost for that is $9.00 per lineal foot. The next
option is "Pre -Cast Concrete Curb". That costs $20.00 per lineal foot. The next step up is
"Granite Curb". The cost for "Granite Curb" is about $22.00 per lineal foot (installed). The
most expensive option is "Poured -In -Place Concrete Curb". That runs about $25.00 per lineal
foot. The cost for 50,000 lineal feet of curb ranges from $200,000 to $1,250,000. To address the
water service problems, it would cost $382,000. Councilman Paoloni noted that the cost for that
would be charged to the water district. To replace each catch basin would cost approximately
$280,000. To replace the drainage pipe would cost $2,354,000. Discussion followed.
Joe Ruggiero, former Supervisor, noted that the Town Board had passed a $3,000,000
bond resolution in 2003. The problem was that the Board could not come to terms with which
option to go with. He also noted that the prices that Mr. Gray is giving are much lower than the
prices he was given when he was Supervisor. Councilman Beale asked if the work could be
done within the Town. Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, replied that he would have to
buy forms. Councilman Beale then asked how the Village is able to maintain all of their curbs.
Supervisor Colsey asked for Mr. Gray's recommendation. Mr. Gray first recommended
leaving the roads at the current width, and gave an explanation why. Next, he again noted that
the Board had the five options that he had presented. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey
asked what the total would be to do the whole project with the "Granite Curb" option. Mr. Gray
answered that the curbs would cost $1,100,000. There would be an additional 25% for survey
work, design work, inspections, and legal costs. He noted other things, such as catch basins, that
may need to be replaced. The total would be around $1,500,000 to $1,800,000. Councilman
Beale again asked if this could be done by the Highway Department. Mr. Foster answered that
he would have to learn how to do it first. Mr. Gray recommended that the Board think about
spreading the work over multiple construction seasons. Councilman Paoloni recommended that
the Board first decide the life of the curbs that they would like instead of trying to compare
capital projects with totally different lives. The Board came to the consensus that the curbs to go
with would be the "Granite Curb" option. Supervisor Colsey asked Mr. Gray to give the Board a
survey of what the cost will be to do the necessary work. Mr. Gray will provide the estimate.
Councilwoman McCarthy made a request that, the next time this topic comes before the
Board for discussion, the Legislative Aide take the initiative to mail out postcards or flyers to the
residents of Rockingham that notify them of the discussion. She feels that it could be done in-
house for under $100. Councilman Bettina added that, since his residents will be paying for it
too, they should be notified as well. Supervisor Colsey treated the request from the
Councilwoman as a motion and asked for a second on the motion. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Paoloni. Councilman Beale asked that the motion be restated. Councilwoman
McCarthy clarified that she is requesting that the residents of Rockingham get a notice, by mail,
Town of Wappinger Page 6 Printed 3/15/2009
Town Board Meeting Minutes February 23, 2009
when the topic is on the Agenda for discussion again. Discussion followed. The motion passed
unanimously. Supervisor Colsey will defer to Councilwoman McCarthy in the writing of the
notice. He then closed the discussion at 9:48 PM.

E. 2007 Financial Audit Report - Colsey/Sedore & Co.
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 9:48 PM. Linda Hannigan, of Sedore & Co.,
was present to present their Audit Report for the year 2007. She summarized the findings in the
report.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked if the document that Ms. Hannigan was presenting was a
final document. Ms. Hannigan replied that it is not final and that there are additional documents
that she was not provided with. Councilwoman McCarthy asked what would then happen to the
document. Ms. Hannigan answered that the Town would receive a final report once she has an
opportunity to review those additional documents. Councilman Paoloni asked if the Board was
reviewing a preliminary document. Ms. Hannigan answered that she had distributed the
document in draft format and was just infonned that there is additional information pertaining to
one of the findings. Councilwoman McCarthy noted that she does not see "Draft" on the
document. Ms. Hannigan replied that it was not marked "Draft". She went on to say that the
report was issued on the 31 st of December, but the Board received it on the 20th of February.
Supervisor Colsey explained the delay. Councilman Paoloni brought up the fact that Sedore is
claiming that the decisions made on January 27th, 2007, do not constitute an emergency.
Councilman Beale agreed with Councilman Paoloni's concern and stated that he would like
clarification. Supervisor Colsey noted that this has to do with something not snaking it to the
auditors. Councilman Paoloni asked what did make it to the auditor. He asked how they could
get this wrong, and how it could say that there was not an emergency. Councilwoman McCarthy
recommended that, since the report is a draft, the Board receive a report from Sedore when they
have a final document to submit and they have repealed this erroneous document. To go through
a draft with incorrect information is a waste of time. Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey recommended going through discussing the remainder of the
document. Susan Tucker, also with Sedore & Co., claimed that she had told Town
"management" about the finding back in October and there has been nothing provided to her to
refute the finding. Councilwoman McCarthy requested that the presentation take place when
they can talk about the entire document. Councilman Paoloni noted that the report not only is
missing things, and things are in it that are not true, but also has an engineering report included.
He asked if the Sedore auditors were engineers as well. He went on to read engineering opinions
that were in the auditor's report. Councilwoman McCarthy again asked that the conversation be
deferred to another date. She made a motion to table the discussion to another date. Councilman
Bettina asked what documents the auditors need to refute the findings. Ms. Tucker answered
that there were some other documents. Councilman Bettina asked what documents she would
need. Ms. Tucker replied that it would be a document that says that this was indeed an
emergency purchase. Joe Ruggiero, fonner Supervisor, commented that those records do exist in
Town Hall. Ms. Tucker replied that those documents were not provided to her. Mr. Ruggiero
added that he had spoken with Supervisor Colsey about it. Ms. Tucker stated that, as soon as the
documents are provided, and if they are satisfactory, the finding can be removed. At that time,
another report can be submitted. The motion was seconded by Councilman Paoloni and passed
unanimously. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 10:05 PM.

F. 2008/2009 Accounting Office Report - Colsey/Awino
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 10:05 PM. Fredrick Awino, Town
Accountant, noted that there were issues with the accounting software when he took office. He
explained that his office now uses new software and has made significant progress. He then
gave a status report on the software upgrade and followed with his Accounting Report.
Supervisor Colsey commented on the mini -audits that Mr. Awino mentioned. The net of
the report is that the lights at Robinson Lane are costing the Town approximately $27,000 over
the revenue that was anticipated. Those are 2008 figures. The Supervisor is going to walk the
fields with Roland Norris. Mr. Norris used to work for Con -Edison. He believes that there are
some items that have been left on. Mr. Norris and the Supervisor discussed issues with the
scoreboard. Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey then asked Mr. Norris about the revenue generated from signs at
Robinson Lane. Discussion about the sign revenue followed.
Supervisor Colsey then mentioned that Mr. Awino is going from department to
department doing mini -audits. Mr. Awino is beginning in the Recreation Department. Mr.
Awino described what he has found so far. He is proposing that Recreation stop collecting
money and the Town Clerk start collecting those monies. Councilman Beale added that he feels
all money should go through the Town Clerk. Mr. Awino noted that the Town Clerk has also
already taken over the receipt of Building Department monies. Discussion followed. Supervisor
Colsey closed the discussion at 10:22 PM.
G. Wappinger Park Water Pump Abandonment Update - Beale/Gray/Tremper
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 10:22 PM. Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town,
updated the Board on the Wappinger Park water system demolition. The system was
disconnected but is still in place. The bid document has been completed and was submitted to
the Town Attorney. Mr. Gray then moved on to the Cider Mill water tank update.
H. Cider Mill Water Tank Update - Colsey/Gray/Tremper
Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, gave an update on the Cider Mill water tank project.
The steel tank is rusting and needs to be sandblasted and recoated. There were some issues with
lead paint on the outside of the tank. The bid document is complete and has been forwarded to
the Town Attorney. The residents need to be notified before that work starts. There are two
neighbors to be notified. Mr. Gray then discussed the Town Hall boiler replacement issue.
1. Town Hall Boiler Update - Colsey/Gray
Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, discussed the Town Hall boiler issue. The document is
in the Town Attorney's hands and is ready to go out. He would like the bids to go out for
replacing that boiler. Supervisor Colsey noted that the Town has a weekly maintenance visit to
keep the boiler going. Mr. Gray summarized the problem with the boiler. Mr. Gray went on to
discuss the Highway Building update.
J. Highway Building Update - Firewall/Heat - Colsey/Foster/Gray
Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, discussed the Town Highway complex. The HVAC
system at shop #2 should be complete this week and will be sent to the Town Attorney for his
comment. The fire wall at the office needs a fire -rated wall. He has put together plans and a bid
document. Those documents are with the Town Attorney.
Mr. Gray also asked to discuss the Granger Place issue. There is a piece of drainage pipe
that is rotted out. He is looking to replace the drainage pipe in the easement. He went on to
explain exactly what needs to be done. Discussion followed.
Mr. Gray also wanted to discuss the Route 9/Smithtown Rd. project. There are two
alternatives for this project. One option is to set a new pipe system that goes around the
property. The other option is to meet with the owner of the property and get an easement so that
the Town can go in and maintain the culvert. He has a meeting set with the property owner to
take place on Wednesday. The difference in cost between the two options is about $225,000.
Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 10:39 PM.

Section -II: Legislative Intent:
Pursuant to the authority granted by Uniform Justice Court Act §109, the Town Board
adopted Local Law 5 of 2008 that established various cleric positions within the Justice Court of the
Town of Wappinger. Article VII of Chapter 35, as originally adopted, allows the Town Board to
detennine the salaries of the Justice Court Personnel, but not the hours worked. This Local Law
amends Article VII of Chapter 35 to give the Town Board the flexibility to determine whether the
Justice Court Positions that are created are filled on a part time or full time basis. The Town Board
shall balance the needs of the Justice Court with the Town's budgetary conditions to determine
whether the Justice Court Personnel positions are full or part time.
Section -III: Enactment of Chanter 3-5 Article VII: "Justice Court Personnel":
Article VII of Chapter 35 of the Code of the Town of Wappinger, created by Local Law 5 of

(2) Section 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York authorizes
a town to adopt by local law, for its own purposes, any statutory provision,

provisions to the contrary. Town Law § 20 also authorizes the Town Board to
appoint a Clerk of the Court upon the "advise and consent" of the Town Justices.

appoint a person who is a non-resident of the Town of Wappinger to the position

non-resident of the Town of Wappinger to the position of Deputy Court Clerk.

appointed to the position of Deputy Court Clerk of the Justice Court of the Town
of Wappinger shall not be required to be a resident or elector of the Town of

XI. New Business
Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale mentioned that he had hoped to have a Camwath Event Committee
Meeting, but there was a scheduling conflict. The Committee consists of Councilman Beale,
Councilman Paoloni and Town Clerk Chris Masterson. They will be meeting with Gary Trudell,
the Fire Chief and the Highway Superintendent, Graham Foster. They will be discussing what
they envision for an upcoming event at Camwath. Councilman Paoloni noted that the Supervisor
was going to look into placing a pad for the amphitheatre. Bob Gray, the Engineer to the Town,
is on the Board of Directors for the Bardavon. He had discussed the plans for Camwath with
directors at the Bardavon and they have shown interest in taking a look at the site. Discussion
followed. Councilman Beale noted that there are two levels of events to discuss. The first level
is the entertainment aspect. The other is the fireworks event. The Committee will meet and
discuss the matter further, including the executives from the Bardavon.
+ Councilwoman McCarthy New Business
Councilwoman McCarthy would like the Supervisor to ask David Wise to prepare an
update on negotiations. Supervisor Colsey gave a brief update. He will ask Mr. Wise to put that
in writing.
Councilman Paoloni New Business
Councilman Paoloni noted that the MinuteTraq and MediaTraq program, which was
budgeted for, is going to proceed. The website, which already has audio, will now have video as
well. He went on to say that the video that the Town had originally hoped would go on
Cablevision and Verizon will be broadcast over the internet. Town Clerk Chris Masterson noted
that this takes the roadblock that developed, with having Cablevision and Verizon broadcast the
Meetings, out of the picture. Councilman Beale asked if the Town resolved the situation with
Cablevision and Verizon allowing the Town to use the studio equipment and money from
Verizon. Supervisor Colsey replied that a draft letter was sent to the Town Attorney, Al Roberts,
two days ago. Councilman Paoloni noted that this is a much more modern, and much more used,
method of providing access.
