Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor
Reference: Tentative Contract/Town of Wappinger With
Joint City/Town Water Board
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
As instructed, AI Roberts and I met with Michael Murphy, City
Administrator, to discuss the potential framework of a contract between
the Town of Wappinger and the Joint City/Town Water Board for the bulk
sale of water. This meeting was held in June 30th, 1998 at Mike Murphy's
office.
Mr. Murphy explained the makeup of the Joint City/Town Water Board and
hi-lighted the key personnel from each member municipality. He explained
that the City of Poughkeepsie currently had 5:!: MGD to sell, and that the
plant was being upgraded from 16 MGD to 21 MGD. He went on further
to note that there was a potential at the site for an expansion of up to 26
MGD.
We then explained to Mr. Murphy that the Town has identified long-term
water needs for its entire service area of approximately 4 MGD. A
potential framework for a contract was discussed as follows:
. An initial purchase of 2 MGD to be phased in over a number of
years.
. An option for an additional 2MGD.
. This option would be purchased through an initial capital cost paid
by the Town and would be callable by the Joint City/Town Water
Board as it reached it's design capacity.

RE: Tentative Contract
- 2 -
June 3D, 1998
Mr. Murphy acknowledged that the proposed framework was viable and
that further negotiations could commence. It was discussed that any
future negotiations beyond this point should be made with the Joint
Board's negotiating committee in full attendance as specific details would
then be discussed.
At the conclusion of the meeting, it was decided to draft this letter, send
to the Town Board, and wait for direction.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact AI or myself.
