Town Board Meeting Minutes July 13, 2009
VII. Discussions
A. Budget & Financial Review - Town Board/Awino
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:10 PM. Fredrick Awino, Town
Accountant, was present to address the Town Board on the topic of the Budget and financial
review. Mr. Awino summarized the report, which was also given to the Board in paper format.
Councilman Beale noted that the Town has received only 45% of mortgage tax revenue. He
asked if the Town will have an idea of what will be coming in ahead of working on the next
Budget. Supervisor Colsey answered that the County Clerk sends a monthly report. Councilman
Beale asked if the same applied to sales tax. Supervisor Colsey confirmed. Councilman Beale
then asked if the gridlock on the State level will have any effect on the revenue due to the Town.
He recommended that the Town stay on top of the State legislative representatives. He went on
to comment on a section of the report that had to do with the recycle fees. Supervisor Colsey
clarified that they are referring to permit fees. Discussion followed. Councilman Beale then
asked about the over -budget expenses in the Attorney, Engineer and Unemployment Insurance.
He asked if these figures are current. Mr. Awino answered that the figures are as of the end of
June. Supervisor Colsey added that there will be charge -backs to the bonds at the end of the
year. Mr. Awino continued with the presentation. Supervisor Colsey noted that there were many
cuts taken and the Board recognized that there would be shortfalls in revenues. He feels that the
Board did the right thing. He thanked the Board for the work they did on preparing the Budget.
Councilman Beale noted that Councilman Paoloni played a major part in that. Councilman
Bettina stated that he felt the $25,000 figure for the Recycle Center was for Recycle Center
refuse tickets. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if the difference in the figures being presented
were one week's worth of activity. Mr. Awino explained the differences in the various line
items. Councilwoman McCarthy went on to note that there are items that have expenditures that
were not allocated monies in the adopted Budget and asked how that is happening. Mr. Awino
replied that, when the Board reviews the vouchers and approves them, the expenditures need to
be allocated. Councilwoman McCarthy explained that the Board does not check to see if there is
money in the Budget when they make those approvals and commented that it is the Town
Accountant's job to do that. She cited the example of the "Cell Phone" line in the Assessor's
Department. Discussion followed. Councilman Beale asked for an update on the Verizon
franchise fee. He asked if the Town received the franchise fee. Mr. Awino explained what was
received and what is expected to come in.
Supervisor Colsey pointed out that Sal Pennini and Beth Fergusen, the Town's bonding
agents, were present to discuss outstanding indebtedness. He asked if the Board had any
questions for the bonding agents. Councilman Bettina asked if the bonding agents had any
questions for the Board. Mr. Pennini discussed the Town's debt ratio and how it compares to the
debt ratio to other towns.
Supervisor Colsey asked if there were any questions from the Board with regards to
Resolution 2009-225. Discussion about the Town's bond rating, and how it compared to the
bond rating of other towns, followed. Councilwoman McCarthy asked Mr. Pennini for
clarification on the bond mentioned in the Resolution. Mr. Pennini explained the details of the
bond. Councilwoman McCarthy went on to note that the Resolution lumps together the
Rockingham curbs project with other projects and that there are two errors with the Resolution
itself. She feels that the Rockingham project was already approved and should be kept separate.
Discussion followed.
Councilwoman McCarthy asked how the Board felt about correcting the inaccuracies in
the Resolution and separating the Rockingham project as a separate project. Supervisor Colsey
answered that Mr. Pennini explained that the project is not separate; that it is part of the whole.
Mr. Pennini added that the bond does not speak specifically of certain projects. Councilwoman
McCarthy clarified that she wants the Board to be able to vote separately on the different projects
encompassed in the Resolutions. Supervisor Colsey did not see how that was necessary.
Discussion followed. Councilwoman McCarthy clarified that some members of the Board have
found issue with the fact that Rockingham has curbs needing repairs while the other wards do
not. If those Councilmembers did not support the Rockingham curbs project, they would have to
vote no on the entire Resolution. Al Roberts did not know of any reason that it couldn't be
separated. Supervisor Colsey stated that he supports the Rockingham curbs project. Councilman
Beale stated that he supports Resolution 2009-225. Councilman Bettina thinks it is a good idea
to separate the projects, but he supports moving forward with this project. Councilwoman
McCarthy added that the Resolution needs to be amended to reflect the accurate date and
accurate amount authorized. Discussion about the amendment followed. Supervisor Colsey
asked if the Board had any issue to voting on the Resolution. Councilwoman McCarthy made a
motion to amend the motion to reflect the Meeting date of May 26th, 2009. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Bettina and passed unanimously. Councilwoman McCarthy moved
Resolution 2009-225. The Resolution was seconded by Councilman Bettina and passed

IX. New Business
Councilwoman McCarthy New Business
Councilwoman McCarthy asked the Board to move the Guzman issue up in the Agenda.
The Board agreed to allow her to conduct her new business at that point. Mr. Guzman had a
drainage problem at his property on Wildwood Drive. He asked where the repairs for the
Wildwood Drive drainage were on the Bond Resolution just passed. Councilwoman McCarthy
explained that the Town Board ultimately will have to address some infrastructure issues in that
neighborhood. They are many, many months from actually digging up the road and doing
anything. The Town Engineer, Bob Gray, would be happy to speak with the resident and will be
updating the Board. Discussion about Mr. Guzman's issue followed. Mr. Gray and the Highway
Superintendent, Graham Foster, will get together to discuss the plan further. Mr. Gray will be
the point of contact for the resident.
X. Discussions
A. Senior Housing - A presentation by To// Brothers
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:05 PM. Representatives from Toll
Brothers, Dan Zalinsky, Chris Utschig and Richard Rang, made a presentation to the Board
about a proposed senior housing project. Mr. Zalinsky requested the continuation of review of a
pending application, which was submitted in January of 2008. It is an application for zoning
change. Toll Brothers feels that the proposed zoning change fits the Master Plan and fits the
objectives set forth by the Town, for the betterment of the Town. Mr. Zalinsky explained the
project in detail. The project is for a private, gated, active -adult community, restricted to ages 55
and up. Mr. Zalinsky discussed the pricing scheme for the different categories of housing within
the project and the limited impacts that the Town would face.
Councilwoman McCarthy noted that her concerns are the layout of the units and the use
of the term "affordable". She does not feel that seniors will want to negotiate stairs. She would
feel better if all of the units were $175,000. She is concerned that the Town may appear to be
pitching a senior housing development that really isn't a senior housing development. She
doesn't feel that 23 units of affordable housing out of 200 is a large percentage. Discussion
about what an "active -adult" would find affordable followed. Councilwoman McCarthy does not
feel that the price that Toll Brothers is looking to set the homes at will be affordable to the
seniors already living in Wappinger. Councilman Bettina commented that the units are not going
to be restricted to Town residents and that they will be available for anyone to purchase.
Councilman Beale asked what could be done to restrict the homes to be available to, or at least
offered primarily to, the Town's seniors first. Discussion followed.
Councilman Beale noted that the Town really needs to be conscious of its seniors. He
pointed out that the Town doesn't have any affordable senior housing. Councilwoman McCarthy
added that the challenge is going to be in defining "affordable senior housing". Councilman
Bettina asked for input from the Town Planner, David Stolman. Mr. Stolman feels that
affordable housing, senior housing and affordable senior housing are all goods things and are
needed. He gave definitions of the different types of housing. He asked why Toll Brothers is
choosing the specific density that it is choosing. Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey asked for the opinion of the Board. Councilwoman McCarthy noted
that she does not feel that this is a senior project. Councilman Bettina asked the firm to consider
a higher ratio of affordable units. One of the Toll Brothers representatives noted that they would
look into it. It would likely require an increase in density of the market rate units to offset the
costs. He added that, with a higher percentage of affordable housing units, the fiscal benefits
would be reduced.
Supervisor Colsey opened the floor to the public. The first resident to speak was Gary
Town of Wappinger Page 5 Printed 7//7/1009
Town Board Meeting
Minutes
July 13, 2009
Lindstrom. He noted that one size does not fit all when it comes to senior housing. There is a
whole range of what would be considered affordable.
Next to speak was Richard Carson. His concern was with the impact to traffic. He
disagrees with the figures that Toll Brothers presented with regards to traffic.
Vic Fanuele was next to speak. He commented on the fact that a senior would have to
pay the cost of the house plus the common fees. Mr. Zalinsky noted that there would be a
reduction in the amount of property taxes with living in a condominium. The representatives
also discussed the fact that another family would move into the houses vacated by Wappinger
seniors moving into the senior housing. The Board summarized the direction being given to Toll
Brothers.
Mr. Fanuele then asked about the entrances and exits for this property. Representatives
from Toll Brothers explained that there would be an access on All Angels Hill Road and an
access through the Shamrock subdivision. Discussion about the access points followed. Mr.
Fanuele commented that a development of this size needs more than one exit, not including the
emergency exit through Shamrock. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:52 PM.
B. Underground Storage Tank Inspections - Colsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:52 PM. Joe Jordan, partner/owner of
EnviroClean Products and Services, was present to address the Board about the topic of
underground storage tank inspections. He described the aggressive DEC requirements pertaining
to inspection of underground storage tanks. His firm has submitted a proposal to conduct the
inspections of the three relevant sites within the Town, and a Resolution based on that proposal
was on the dais for Board approval. Mr. Jordan listed the services his firm provides and who
some other clients are. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, noted that Mr. Jordan did work for the Town
in 2006. Councilwoman McCarthy asked if this is a service that would be bid out. Mr. Roberts
answered that this would be an exempt situation as Mr. Jordan is one of only a few qualified and
certified vendors to provide such a service. Mr. Jordan explained his certifications for the Board.
Mr. Roberts asked what the cost for the service is. Mr. Jordan answered that it would be $750
per facility. Depending on the site, the inspection could take 1-5 hours. There would also be
additional office work to do. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:59 PM.
C. Agricultural Zoning - Colsey/Stolman
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:59 PM. David Stolman, Town Planner,
was present to address the Board about a proposed Local Law for "Farm Use". Mr. Stolman
explained the purpose of the Law. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey noted that the
version that the Board has is a Draft and there is no Resolution on the Agenda to vote on. Mr.
Stolman continued with the discussion of the draft Law. Supervisor Colsey asked when the
Board would see this topic again. Mr. Stolman and the Town Attorney, Al Roberts, discussed
how the Town should proceed. Councilwoman McCarthy and Town Attorney, Jim Horan,
discussed the enforcement of such agricultural designation issues. Mr. Stolman noted that there
will be something for this issue ready for the August Town Board Meeting. Supervisor Colsey
closed the discussion at 9:10 PM.
D. Status of Comprehensive Plan - Town Board/ Stolman
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 9:10 PM. David Stolman, Town Planner,
noted that the Board had a very productive Meeting pertaining to the Comprehensive Plan.
There are action items to work on that will be presented to the Town. There will be
environmental mapping and ideas for split -zoning for the Cranberry property. There will be an
investigation into the amount of affordable housing in the Town relative to the amount needed.
He looks forward to meeting with the Town Board again to discuss the Plan. He recommends
discussing the Plan at the August Town Board Meeting. Discussion followed. Supervisor
Colsey closed the discussion at 9:12 PM.
XI. Public Comments
Hiview/Valley Road Drainage Issue
Supervisor Colsey asked the Board if they would have a problem letting a resident
discuss an issue. The Board did not object. Philip Wirzbicki was present to inform the Board
about a drainage issue he had in his neighborhood. He explained that Councilman Paoloni was
out to the property and feels that something needs to be done. The resident provided the Board
with documentation to support his presentation. Mr. Wirzbicki went on to describe the problem.
Thomas Kane was also present to offer supporting information. The issue involves surface water
flow that comes down a hill and onto Hiview Road. Mr. Wirzbicki also mentioned work that
was done by the Town, such as culvert installation. He noted that he presented this issue to the
Town of Wappinger Page 6 Printed 7/17/2009
Town Board Meeting Minutes July 13, 2009
Board in February. He went on to explain what has taken place since that time and who he has
spoke with to get the problem addressed. Councilwoman McCarthy asked how long the resident
has lived there. Mr. Wirzbicki answered that he has been there since 1999. Councilwoman
McCarthy asked if the culverts or trenches were there when he moved in. Mr. Wirzbicki
confirmed that there were. Mr. Kane explained that, in 1994, the Town put the drainage and
swale in. At that time, the trench was approximately 15 inches deep. The swale let 80% of the
water cross his property. The other 20% went to Royal Ridge. The trench is now about 4-5 feet
deep. This is causing erosion across the back of his property. Discussion followed. Councilman
Bettina asked the Engineer to the Town, Bob Gray, if there was anything the Town could do.
Mr. Gray answered that he has visited the site. He has given the resident recommendations of
how to address the issue. He noted that the resident is looking for a comprehensive plan to
address the issue as it effects the whole area. Mr. Gray was not sure what authorization there is
in terms of doing work on private property. He went on to discuss what corrections could be
made to address the issue. In terms of preparing a comprehensive plan, the residents
downstream should be brought into the discussion as well. Supervisor Colsey asked what steps
can be taken. Mr. Gray recommended first finding out how the fact that these are private
properties would affect things. Councilman Bettina and Al Roberts, Town Attorney, discussed
the issue of repairing private property. The resident pointed out that the Town can't destroy
private property. The Town has built a water system that takes in a great deal of water and
dumps it on his property. He is just asking the Town to put it back the way it was. Mr. Roberts
recommended that the Board the overall project. He will advise the Board as to the Town's
ability to implement the plan. If it is going to be a large project it will need to go out to bid.
Discussion followed. Mr. Wirzbicki invited the Board to come out and see the erosion firsthand.
Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 9:36 PM.

Town of Wappinger Page 17 Printed 7/17/2009
Town Board Meeting Minutes July 13, 2009
WHEREAS, the current phone system is beyond its useful life, is obsolete and is
frequently out of service requiring service calls and needs to be replaced; and
WHEREAS, a fully functioning phone system is vital to the operation of the Town of
Wappinger in order to service the needs of its residents; and
WHEREAS, the average monthly phone bill for all Town Hall departments has been
calculated by the Accounting office at $1,245.88 for 2009; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board authorized the Supervisor to solicit proposals for
replacement of the phone system in the Town Hall in accordance with Town Code Chapter 46:
Procurement Policy by Resolution No. 2009-069 on February 9, 2009; and

on file with the Town Clerk; and
WHEREAS, the Cornerstone system connects over the Internet, so dedicated phone lines

appropriate and the 60 month telephone system lease proposal submitted by Independent
Telecommunications Corporation, 623 Broadway, Suite A, Newburgh, NY, 12550, is the lowest

1. The recitations above set forth are incorporated in this Resolution as if fully set
forth and adopted herein.
2. The Town Board hereby authorizes the Supervisor to execute a lease contract with

Supervisor Colsey noted that there is a resident in the 4th ward that has been through the
ZBA process to get a ramp. He is a disabled veteran and cannot afford the application fee for the
permit. Supervisor Colsey went on to say that some towns waive the fee for veterans.
Councilman Bettina asked if this would maybe be legislation that the Town should consider.
Councilwoman McCarthy recommended verifying that the person is, in fact, a veteran.
Councilman Bettina commented that the Town's applications and forms should say
whether or not the fees are refundable or non-refundable. Ken Quandt noted that he has been
trying to get into Castle Point for some time, but is having trouble because his service records
were lost in a fire in 1975 in St. Louis. All he is able to obtain from them is a certified letter that
he was in the service. Councilwoman McCarthy noted that all the Board needs is proof that they
are a veteran.
