MOVER: Maureen McCarthy, Councilwoman
SECONDER: Vincent Bettina, Councilman
AYES: Colsey, Beale, Bettina, McCarthy, Paoloni
Public Comments
Councilwoman McCarthy made a motion to suspend the Rules for public comment. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Bettina and passed unanimously. Supervisor Colsey asked
if there were any comments from the public.
Gary Lindstrom was the first resident to speak. He noted that he was happy that the
Town had a transfer station. However, he feels that it is unfair to the people that use it, as well as
to the Town taxpayers, that they have to pay to dump one little bag of garbage while so many
others are able to dump truck loads of construction debris and not have to pay a cent. There is a
house being built down the street from him. The builders do not have a dumpster. They are
dumping truck load after truck load of construction debris at the transfer station. He
recommends having a fee schedule for utilizing the transfer station. Thomas Docherty
commented that those people aren't supposed to be dumping there anyway. Mr. Lindstrom
added that nobody stops it. Discussion followed.
Rob Buyakowski was next to speak. He commented on the upcoming Public Hearing for
the Master Plan and asked for an update. Supervisor Colsey confirmed that there will be a Public
Hearing on May 11 th. He then recommended having David Stolman, the Town Planner, address
this topic when he arrives. Discussion followed.
The next resident to speak was Florence Graf. She wanted to know when the committee
reports would be taking place. Supervisor Colsey answered that they have been moved to the
end of the Agenda.
Next to speak was Mrs. Bertolini. She asked for clarification of what was taking place
with regard to the Rockingham curbs. She wants details of where the repairs are being made and
if it is going to be an ongoing thing. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey recommended that
the resident listen to the presentation first and then make comments. Councilwoman McCarthy
also recommended that Mrs. Bertolini listen to the presentation first. She went on to say that the
Board doesn't seem to be opposed to entertaining questions at that point. Bob Gray, Engineer to
the Town, pointed out that there were two maps posted on the wall that the residents could look
at in the meantime. Councilwoman McCarthy made a motion to reinstate the Rules. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Beale and passed unanimously.

Regular Meeting Minutes May 4, 2009
VIII. Discussions
A. Carnwath- Graf/Paoloni
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:16 PM. Florence Graf was present to
address the Board about the Carnwath property. She read a prepared statement for the Board.
The statement was a brief history of the Town's acquisition and usage of the property. Mrs. Graf
recommends that there be a separate column in the Southern Dutchess News specifically on
Carnwath. As an unpaid volunteer, Mrs. Graf would like to create and write the Carnwath
column. The Board thanked Mrs. Graf for her time. Councilman Beale briefly discussed the
Carnwath Events Committee and noted that there would be a report by that Committee later in
the Meeting.
B. Rockingham Infrastructure - Foster/ Gray
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:18 PM. Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town,
began his presentation on the Rockingham curb project and described the proposed scope of
work to be done. He projected a slide show on the wall to help illustrate his comments. There is
a range of prices for this project from 146 and change" per lineal foot to $65. The estimate is
159 and change" for 2600 feet of curb. That estimate is $155,388. In addition, there would be
engineering costs, legal costs and inspection costs. The total for the estimate including those
costs is $194,235. Councilman Paoloni asked how they were going from $3,000,000 to
$155,000. Mr. Gray answered that they are replacing 2,600 feet of curb instead of 47,000.
Discussion followed. The Board then fielded questions from residents.
Mrs. Bertolini had a list of concerns that she wanted addressed. She first asked why she
wasn't notified about this Meeting. Supervisor Colsey replied that the Town Attorney, Jim
Horan, had given the opinion that it is improper to send out postcards to one select group. Mrs.
Bertolini then asked when the decision to do these limited repairs was made. Councilwoman
McCarthy recapped several different discussions that took place that led to the current plan.
Mrs. Bertolini then asked for an answer from Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, as to
why these repairs weren't made. Councilwoman McCarthy replied that it is not productive to sit
back and ask why other administrations did not act. Supervisor Ruggiero briefly summarized
curbing work that was done in Rockingham in the late 1990's. Supervisor Colsey asked if the
Board would like to move the resolution up in the Agenda. The Board agreed.
Motion To: amend the Resolution to reflect the amount not to exceed $210,000 for the curb
repairs as outlined in the amended report from Bob Gray
RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Maureen McCarthy, Councilwoman
SECONDER: Christopher Colsey, Supervisor
AYES: Colsey, Beale, Bettina, McCarthy, Paoloni

C. 2007 Town Audit- Colsey/Hannigan
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:57 PM. Linda Hannigan, a representative
of Sedore & Company, the Town's auditors, was present to discuss the Town audit. Mrs.
Hannigan explained that this is an update on the report that was presented back in February. The
draft findings contained a specific item that the Board asked to be revisited. That item had to do
with bidding on Carnwath and expenses that were approved in January 2007. Her firm reviewed
all of the documents and has compiled a supplemental report. She noted that her engagement
letter notes that the Town is to provide her firm full and complete information when conducting
the field work. In this case, additional information being provided has led to revised findings.
Supervisor Colsey asked if the revision replaces the original finding. Mrs. Hannigan confirmed
that it does. The current finding states that her firm feels that documentation pertaining to the
expenditures was not centrally filed. That makes it difficult for her firm to make an accurate
assessment. Her recommendation to the Board is that all documents be in one place.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked if the audit was clean otherwise. Mrs. Hannigan replied that it
is and the audit is being changed to reflect that. Councilman Bettina asked if all records are with
the Town Accountant. Supervisor Colsey replied that they are not. He went on to say that the
Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, has everything except for a structural report from the Structural
Engineer. Councilman Bettina asked if Mrs. Hannigan was saying that she recommends that the
Town Accountant's office has a copy of all documents. Mrs. Hannigan recommends that Mr.
Awino maintains at least a set of copies, because there are certain original documents that the
Town Clerk is supposed to have. The Town Accountant, she feels, should have copies of all
bidding documents with the vouchers. Discussion followed. Councilwoman McCarthy felt it
was nuts that the Town Accountant hold original bid documents. She noted that the Town Clerk
is the "keeper of the records". She asked if Mrs. Hannigan is asking that the Town Accountant
attach bid documents to vouchers. Mrs. Hannigan clarified that she recommends that the Board
Town of Wappinger Page 5 Printed 5/21/2009
Regular Meeting Minutes May 4, 2009
make a decision as to the best central location. Councilwoman McCarthy claimed that the
central location is currently set up to be with the Town Clerk. Mrs. Hannigan and Supervisor
Colsey explained that, in this case, the Town Clerk did not have all documents. Discussion
followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:07 PM.
D. Municipal Bond Report - Pennini/Colsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:08 PM. He noted that the Town's bond
counsel was present to answer any questions pertaining to the downgrading of the Town's bond
rating. Councilwoman McCarthy asked that the bond counsel, Sal Pennini, explain the reason
for the downgrading for the benefit of the public. Mr. Pennini explained that the downgrading
was due to the draw down of fund balance, which was due to shortfalls such as mortgage tax
revenues. The current rating is still a good rating. It is the second highest rating of all Southern
Dutchess towns. Mr. Pennini went on explaining the criteria that were evaluated that led to the
downgrading. Discussion followed.
Councilman Beale asked if it were true that you could have too much fund balance. He
noted that the New York State Comptroller's Office instructs municipalities to not exceed fund
balance; otherwise the residents would be overtaxed. Discussion about the proper fund balance
level followed.
Councilman Beale asked how often the credit rating is reviewed. Mr. Pennini explained
that it would be reviewed whenever the Town would go to the bond market. That triggered the
review in this case. Moody's also does periodic surveillance. Discussion followed. Supervisor
Colsey closed the discussion at 8:28 PM.
E. Smithtown Road Drainage Closing Report - Foster/Gray
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:28 PM. Graham Foster, Highway
Superintendent, gave the Board an update on the Smithtown Road drainage closing report. The
Highway Department used a router and found a submerged catch basin and plugged pipe. They
got the pipe open and drained the area. The pipe is still in a state of disrepair, but it is the
property owners responsibility to maintain. Councilman Bettina thanked Mr. Foster for the work
that he and his department did. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:31 PM.
IX. Committee Reports
A. Carnwath Events Committee - Beale/Paoloni
Councilman Beale gave an update on the Carnwath Events Committee. He noted that he
and Supervisor Colsey met with a representative from the Bardavon to discuss doing an event at
Carnwath. The group had a productive conversation. The first thing that needs to be determined
is the actual location that the amphitheatre will be located. Councilman Beale noted that the
original idea was to have a 4th of July gala, possibly with a concert and fireworks. At this point,
the concert is not going to happen in 2009. For fireworks, the biggest challenge is adequate
parking. Some property owners in the vicinity have agreed to allow cars to be parked on their
property. If it rains, there may be problems. The committee is still moving forward and will
need to discuss the topic outside of a Town Board Meeting.
Councilman Beale then mentioned the Winter Fest that took place a few months ago.
That was a good example of how to get people to feel good about the property. He feels that,
prior to putting money into the property to restore, repair or renovate buildings, they should give
the residents more of a positive feeling.
Councilman Bettina noted that Bob Gray, the Engineer to the Town, was on the Bardavon
Board of Directors. He thanked Mr. Gray for bringing the opportunity together. Councilman
Bettina noted that the Board is going to have to come to a decision on what the Town is going to
do with the buildings. He went on to say that the Town bought the property for open space and
passive recreation. Councilman Beale added that the Board needs to have usability for the
property. He mentioned the Sports Museum and commented that it is unbelievable. Before the
Town can do anything productive at Carnwath, they need have a plan in place. He cited the
Town of Fishkill senior/recreation center as a well planned site with multiple uses. Councilman
Bettina noted that renovating costs more than new construction. He also noted that the plan costs
totaled $24,000,000 and is probably a lot more now. He stated that he was one of the few
members present that voted for the acquisition. He directed a question to former Supervisor
Constance Smith, who was in the audience, about the purpose of the purchase. Mrs. Smith
confirmed that the property was purchased for open space. She attended a meeting with a
contractor that planned on developing the property. She brought the idea of purchasing the
property to the Board, and Councilman Paoloni and Joseph Ruggiero, who at the time was a
Councilman, were most supportive. She noted that she had to sell the idea to Councilman
Bettina. Councilman Bettina noted that Mrs. Smith did a good job selling the idea. Mrs. Smith
went on discussing the acquisition. Councilman Paoloni noted that the Town is still paying
Town of Wappinger Page 6 Printed 5/2//2009
Regular Meeting Minutes May 4, 2009
$75,000 to heat that building. He recommended that the Board ensure that the windows are
closed and heat is not being wasted. Supervisor Colsey confirmed that he and Town Clerk Chris
Masterson recently visited the dormitory and found the heat on and several windows open.
Councilman Beale commented that they do not have accountability on these properties. He felt
that the Town should have someone assigned to that park. Councilman Bettina added that the
Board needs to make sure there is a vision and a cost attached. Councilman Beale replied that
there is a vision. It is called the Carnwath Master Plan. He agrees with some of that plan.
Discussion followed.
B. Recycle Committee - Beale/Paoloni
Councilman Paoloni and Councilman Beale gave a brief update on the Recycle Center
Committee. Councilman Paoloni noted that the Committee hasn't met since the last Town Board
Meeting so there is nothing to report. Councilman Beale noted that the Committee is still active.
He also pointed out that a resident that submitted a letter pertaining to an issue with the Recycle
Center was present. Councilman Paoloni then discussed the charge of the Committee.
Discussion followed.
C. Sewer/Water Committee - Bettina/Paoloni
Councilman Paoloni and Councilman Bettina gave a brief update on the Water & Sewer
Committee. Councilman Bettina noted that he had a letter from CAMO, written by Mike
Tremper and dated February 20th. He noted that he will provide the Town Clerk with the letter.
Councilman Paoloni noted that there was a comment made by a resident at the last Meeting that
there was a water problem in Royal Ridge. Councilman Paoloni and Mike Tremper looked into
the issue and found that there is no water problem. Former Supervisor Connie Smith asked if
there will ever be water and sewer in the 4th Ward. Discussion followed.
Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, noted that they recently had a meeting with the
Dutchess County EDC about a potential water connection in the Airport Drive vicinity to the
County water main along the Rail Trail. There was also discussion about making the connection
on Maloney Road by Village Crest Apartments as well. The Joint Water Board with the Town
and City of Poughkeepsie has a use or pay policy. The user would pay for a set amount of water
whether they use it or not. There is also a severe penalty for going over the contracted amount.
Discussion followed.
D. Personnel Manual Revision Committee - Colsey
Supervisor Colsey gave an update on the Personnel Manual Revision Committee. He and
Mr. Incoronato, Legislative Aide, are on that Committee. The Board resolved to send the
manual to the Personnel Attorney and is now waiting on that attorney's advice. The manual was
last revised approximately 7 years ago. Mr. Incoronato prepared the first draft in
November/December 2008.
E. Safety Committee (formerly Building Committee) - Beale/McCarthy
Councilman Beale and Councilwoman McCarthy gave a brief update of the Safety
Committee. Councilman Beale and Councilwoman McCarthy noted that they have received
many reports. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if the findings are being acted on. Supervisor
Colsey noted that the bills will show that the findings are being acted on. Councilwoman
McCarthy asked that the Code Enforcement Officers and Fire Inspector include the actions taken
in their reports to the Board. The Town Board agreed. Councilman Beale feels more confident
that working conditions are being improved. He asked if the fire alarm at the Emergency
Services Building has been remedied. Supervisor Colsey answered that the item is currently out
for bid.

Councilman Paoloni then brought up the proposed land donation on Red Hawk Hollow
Road. Discussion about the lot followed. The Councilman noted that, if there is no benefit to
the Town, he doesn't see a benefit of accepting it. Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent,
recommended that Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, and Ralph Holt, Recreation Commission
Chairman, take a look at the lot and make a recommendation to the Board. Discussion followed.
Councilman Paoloni then mentioned that the Board had previously discussed the rotation
of the person in the Building Department tasked with handing out the work. Councilman Bettina
agreed that the next person in line should go and then it should go back to Mr. Kolb again.
Councilman Paoloni asked to be clear that the duty is nothing more than handing out work. He
asked what the Supervisor would call the position. Supervisor Colsey replied that the position
could be called "Dispatching". Councilman Paoloni added that the next person to take the
position of "dispatching" would be Sal Morello. He would do the job for four months as well.
Councilman Bettina added that it would go back to Mr. Kolb after four months. Supervisor
Colsey asked when this would start. Councilman Paoloni replied that it would start on May 11th
and continue through September 30th. Councilman Bettina seconded with the understanding
that, after Mr. Morello, it would possibly go back to Mr. Kolb. Councilman Beale stated that
there is no definitive chain -of -command in the Building Department. He added that there is no
person in charge and it is not running smoothly in that office. He feels that this makes no sense
and is ridiculous. He went on to say that he voted against the whole reorganization and will be
voting against this as well. Supervisor Colsey asked for a vote. Councilman Paoloni clarified
that it would be for a term to expire on September 30th. The motion passed 3-2 with
Councilman Bettina, Councilwoman McCarthy and Councilman Paoloni voting "Aye" and
Councilman Beale and Supervisor Colsey voting "Nay". Discussion followed.

Supervisor Colsey New Business
Supervisor Colsey asked David Stolman, Town Planner, to prepare a response to a
question that was voiced by Rob Buyakowski.
Supervisor Colsey then asked Joseph Incoronato, Legislative Aide, to give an update on
the upcoming census. Mr. Incoronato gave a brief update on the procedure that would be
followed with the first stages of the census.
Councilman Beale noted that he received a notice from Wappinger Central School
District that his voting location has been changed to Sheafe Road Elementary School in the
Town of Poughkeepsie. Many of his neighbors have expressed concern about this. The
Councilman asked if the Board will be preparing a Resolution against this. Mr. Incoronato gave
an update on how this came about. He is waiting for a letter from the Superintendents explaining
why that change was made and who authorized it. Discussion followed. Councilman Bettina
commented that this is the same situation that he brought up with the Beacon Library.
Supervisor Colsey then noted that the Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, had an item relating
to a Town Organizational Chart. Mr. Masterson noted that this issue stems from the Freedom of
Information Law (FOIL) and FOIL requests that have been submitted to the Town over the
years. The law requires that the Town provide information for each employee of the Town, such
as name, public office address, title, salary, position, etc. He noted that Mr. Incoronato had made
an organizational chart in the past and that this would be an efficient way to provide the
information on the Town website. The chart would be flash based and scrollable. Each cell on
the chart would be clickable to provide the information required to be made public. The idea
was submitted to Duality, the Town's IT firm, and a proposal was submitted. Councilman Beale
commented that he can't vote to spend $1,700 for this. The Town Clerk noted that when a
request for the information is submitted, employees from the Town Clerk's Office, Town
Accountant's Office, and the Town's IT firm would work together to compile lists containing all
of the information. Councilman Bettina recommended getting a better price. Councilman
Paoloni recommended doing the project in-house. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey
noted that there is not consensus on this.
Mr. Stolman noted that the Town would be having a Public Hearing in a week on the
current version of the Town Comprehensive Plan and the Supplemental Draft Generic
Environmental Impact Statement. He went on to say that it will be interesting to hear what
comments will be made at the Public Hearing. The Board will then need to decide whether or
not to do a Supplemental Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement. There is a letter from
the County that the Board has yet to discuss. Councilman Paoloni has also noted that there are
topics in the Plan that he would like to discuss. Councilman Bettina asked how the people
affected were going to be notified. Mr. Stolman replied that the Town would eventually adopt
the Comprehensive Plan. Then there will be Local Laws drafted. It will be up to the Town
Board on how to notify the public and specific property owners with respect to Zoning map
changes. Councilman Bettina stated that the people need to be notified about changes if their
property use is going to be changed. Mr. Stolman added that some municipalities decide to
notify each individual property owner, but there is not specific requirement in the law to do so.
Discussion followed.
