SUSPENSION OF RULES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
Councilman Bettina moved to suspend the rules for purposes of public comment
on agenda items.
Seconded by Councilman Colsey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Supervisor Ruggiero wished to know if anyone in the audience wished to discuss
any items listed on the Town Board Agenda.
Dave Campagni of Cortland New York, owner of Grant Street Construction was
recognized. Mr. Campagni wished to discuss Resolution #186, the awarding of
the Contract for Wappinger Water Improvement Area 1999-2(R) Contract No. 6.
Supervisor Ruggiero announced that the bid had not been awarded yet. Mr.
Campagni explained that his company has completed four contracts for the Town
of Wappinger last year and two projects for the Tri -municipal Sewer Commission.
His office was the second place bidder at $1,966,666. The low bidder was
Clayton Industries at $1,593,250. Mr. Compagni wished to point out several
reasons why the Town should not accept the bid.. On May 29th of this year
Clayton Industries was the low bidder on a project for New York State Office of
General Services in Red Hook, New York. Clayton Industries submitted a Bid
Bond for that project that was unauthorized by the Bonding Company. The bid
was disqualified by the New York State Office of General Services for that reason.
He is urging the Town Board to see if Clayton has done this again. That would
k
make his bid invalid. Another reason why Mr. Compagni feels that Clayton
Industries should not be awarded the project is that Clayton Industries is
presently in default on a project in the Town of Walkill. On June 28, 2002 5
bidders, including Grant Street Construction were asked by Claytons Bonding
Company to submit bids for the completion of that project. The project is in such
disarray, that not a single contractor submitted a bid. Discussion followed.

Peter Cherneff, Attorney for Cranberry was concerned that the way this law is
laid out would create an architectural review board and Cranberry would not
want to be in a situation where many years down the road a new board would
want to review the lay out of the homes. The issues that this board has raised
may not be resolved in the near future. He wants this board to set the standards.
