COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the above reports and

Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
The first item for the Boards consideration is correspondence
from Michael Hirsch, 11 Roberts Road regarding the pedestrian
easement used for children to walk from Blackthorn Loop to the
Spookhill Playground. It directly borders his property. For
several years, the easement has flooded and overgrown, resulting
in water run off into his back yard, which floods half of his
back yard. Mr. Hirsch is requesting the Town to fix the
easement with a pipe, top soil and seed.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Supervisor Smith to
refer this to Mr Holt of the Recreation Department and have him
report back to the Board.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Next is correspondence from Victor Fanuele of 12 Wildwood Drive
with concerns regarding the lot across the street from his home
being used as a dump for leaves and brush. At one time people
would dump the leaves and brush away from the road out of sight.
The past few years, they have been dumping adjacent to the road
making the area unsightly. He is requesting a NO DUMPING sign
be place along this section of the road.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to refer this request to Mr. Foster,
Highway Superintendent, and report back to the Board.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence from Sloper-Willen Community Ambulance Service,
informing the Town that it has recently added a fourth Advanced
Life Support ambulance and crew to service the residents of its
ambulance district. This ambulance will be in service during
the peak hours of 10AM to 6PM, 7 days a week.

Seconded by Mr. Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence from Edward Schaller of 1 Wendy Road regarding
P'
the STOP signs at the intersection of Russ Place. Mr. Schaller
informed the Board that since the STOP signs were erected he has
taken an official survey and during a one hour period he found
twenty-six out of twenty-eight cars did NOT stop. Also during
that same period he observed a Wappingers Central School Bus
making a left turn from Wildwood Drive onto Wendy Road WITHOUT
STOPPING. Mr. Schaller demands the Town do one of two things;
either enforce the STOP signs at the intersection of Wildwood
Drive and Russ Place/Wendy Road, or remove them.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Supervisor Smith send a
letter to Mr. Schaller, informing him that we are enforcing our
laws, as we do all our laws on our books, and we will ask
E
the police to patrol the area more frequently.
�•r Seconded by Mr. Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence from Adil Antia of 4 Maxwell Place regarding the
an ongoing problem which he has when ever it rains. The water
collects in a large puddle near his pool and he must set up a
pump to collect the water. This takes care of the surface
water, but the ground water continues to seep under the pool
area and gradually lifts/floats the pool liner. Then when the
ground dries up, the liner settles down. The company that
installed the pool informed him the only way to prevent this is
to dig a curtain drain around the perimeter of the back yard so
that the water is channeled away from the pool to the street.
He is requesting the Town to set up this curtain drain for him
so that the problem does not reoccur when ever there is a bad
storm.

Next is a report from Dare Fitzpatrick, of CAMO Pollution
Control, regarding the trucking of water to the Fleetwood
facility. Trocillito Brothers Inc. of Marlboro, New York has
been contacted to truck the water. At the present time they
are hauling three 6,000 gallon loads per week at a cost of $150
per load. At the Towns request, Mr. Fitzpatrick investigated
the possibility of using a Town of Wappinger Highway Department .,40
truck for the purpose of hauling water. The New York State
Water Sanitary Code would not allow this for the reason that a
bulk water hauling company must be licensed and inspected by the
New York State Health Department. This was confirmed with Mr.
O'Connor of the Dutchess County Health Department.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the report from CAMO
Pollution Control and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero

existing sources of funding to assist the community. Ms. Kelly
appreciates this matter being brought to her attention, and
wishes to be kept informed of the infrastructure needs of the
community. SUPERVISOR SMITH informed the Board that she had
also written to Mr. Pataki and Mr. Saland and they all
responded, including a personal phone call from Senator Daniel
Patrick Moynihan.

A response from Joseph DiPalo, Chief Operating Office of Medicus
regarding the delays that were experienced by the Town Employees
for random drug testing. Due to the large numbers of area
businesses that utilize their facilities, the delay was due to a
mechanical breakdown of a technical piece of equipment at their
Lagrange facility, resulting in clients being referred to the
Wappinger site. Effective immediately, Medicus will dedicate
one nurse to our account and require this individual to process
our employees as they arrive. An alternate week notification
policy will also be utilized which should improve response time.

Several Reports were submitted by Jay Paggi, Engineer to the
Town. The first report concerns the Wappinger Sewer
Transmission/Treatment Improvement Phase 3A and the SRF
financing. Mr. Paggi attended the 1996 Workshop for the New
York State Environmental Facility Corp. State Revolving Fund.
Wappinger is on the Intended Use Plan for 1997 for $40 Million
for Phase 3A. We have made preliminary application to the SRF
Page 7
082696.RGM
for the $40 Million, and presented a preliminary Project
Schedule and Cost Estimate to them. The tentative Schedule
calls for $20 Million to be received in short term funding in
April 1997. At the seminar, all the revisions that have taken
place in the program since our inclusion for Phases I and II
.J
were discussed. None of them are significant except for the
fact that 50 % interest subsidy is still maintained up to
September 30, 1998. We will be securing long term financing in
July of 1998, and therefore, should fall under the 50% interest
subsidy umbrella. The dates the schedules and amounts are all
subject to approval by both the Town Board and the State
Controllers Office.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the report and place it on
file.
Seconded by Mr. Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried
The second report concerns the Tri -Muni Flows. Mr. Paggi is in
receipt of the Tri -Muni flows for May 1996. He had previously
sent correspondence on May 31, 1996 regarding a memo from
Michael Tremper. In that letter it stated that our meter for
May 13, 1996 - May 31, 1996 averaged 221,000 GDP. On the recent
chart of Tri -Municipal, it appears that they averaged 301,000
GDP for the same period. This is over a 36% difference, and NOT
acceptable. A meeting has been set up for Thursday September
5th with Mr. Horowitz the new Engineer. He will update the
Board on the outcome.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the correspondence and
place it on file pending an update.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero

Medical Arts Building. Mr. Paggi prepared a sketch for the
connection of the building to the Wappinger Park Water District.
The drawing and specification should be transmitted to Eileen
Platt, Building Manager after the appropriate escrow accounts

Next is are two reports from Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town.
The first is an update on the Airport Soccer Field/Recreation
Project. On August 23, 1996, informal bids were received and
opened for the above referenced project. Four bids were
received and opened. Black Top Maintenance was the apparent low
bidder with a bid of $17,066.98 which as you know, is $2,000
higher than the amount available for this project. We recommend
that the bid be awarded to Black Top Maintenance, with the
removal of one item of the contract, to bring the total bid to
$15,000.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to award the bid for the Airport
Drive Recreation Project to Black Top Maintenance as low bidder
for $15,000, based upon the recommendation of Jay Paggi,
Engineer to the Town.
Seconded by Mr. Bettina
The second report concerns the Sewer Main Replacement on All
Angels Hill Road. As reported at the July 17 Workshop, the
800' of existing sewer main on the west side of All Angels Hill
Road to the South of Kent Road is in danger of eminent collapse.
Page 11
082696.RGM
Two alternative methods were looked at to replace this line.
The first method was physically installing a 8" pipe and one (1)
manhole in the existing ditch line. To do this, we analyzed the
cost of
replacement of 800' of 8" PVC, including
hooking
up the
existing
lateral connections. In analyzing the
site he
noticed
that the
pipe is located on the west side of All
Angels
Hill
Road. This
easement also has in it an existing
water main
and
utility
line. Therefore, replacement of the line
would
be
rather difficult. He also noticed that the residents have
planted numerous shrubs and trees in the easement that would
need to be removed to replace the pipe. Mr. Paggi requested
Attorney to the Town Al Roberts to render an opinion whether or
not the trees would have to be replaced upon completion of
construction. He indicated in all likelihood, we would not have
to replace them. Therefore two options have been prepared. The
first would cost $118,000. The second alternative for replacing
the pipe is to Insituform the pipe. The total cost would be
$100,000. Mr. Paggi recommends that the Town pursue the second
option using the Insituform method and authorize the preparation
of the appropriate Map, Plan and Report.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Mr. Paggi, Engineer to
the Town to prepare the Map, Plan and Report, at a cost of
$2,000 using option II.
Seconded by Mr. Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO had no reports at this time.
COUNCILMAN BETTINA had no reports at this time.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI had no reports at this time.
SUPERVISOR SMITH spoke on the vandalism problem the Town is
experiencing. Last week vandals defaced Spook Hill Recreation
Area, Home Depot, Hollowbrook, Robinson Lane and Grossman's.
Page 12
082696.RGM
Cameras did capture some of the action at Spook Hill Recreation
but they were very dark, and the pictures were sent to the local
enforcement officials for further study. There was some
discussion among the members of the Board and it was suggested
that sensor lights be installed to deter the vandalism.
m"
Mrs. Visconti suggested getting some proposals to have the
sensor lights installed on all the town recreation areas.
Back in July Supervisor Smith placed an ad in the Southern
Dutchess news indicating the Town was seeking Volunteers to
serve on the Conservation Advisory Committee. Mr. Scott LeRoy
responded and would like to be appointed.
The following Resolution was offered by COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI
who moved its adoption.
RESOLVED, that Scott LeRoy be appointed to the Town of
Wappinger Conservation Advisory Council, and
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, that the said Scott LeRoy is hereby

At this time Joe Incoronato was recognized by the chair. Mr.
Incoronato questioned the recent purchase of a used Van for the
Animal Control Officer at a cost of $13,000. Why did it not go
out to Bid. SUPERVISOR SMITH informed Mr. Incoronato because
this was an emergency situation, the old vehicle was no longer
safe, the Town did not have to go out to bid. Albany was
called, everything has been documented.
Victor Fanuele was also recognized by the chair. Last year
several drains were installed at Wildwood Drive. His
complaint, the job has not been completed. He wishes to have
someone clean up the area in front of his house and put some top
�r
soil down, so he can plant some seed. Mr. Foster said he would
stop by the next day at 9:00 A.M to meet with him and walk the
site.

of Dorothy Heights regarding the level of noise created at the
Home Depot located in the Imperial Plaza. The noise caused by
the constant paging of employees and the phone ringing at all
hours of the night over the loud speaker, together with the
horn noise caused by the loading vehicles when backing up are
situations without question in violation of the peace and quiet
requirements of a residential neighborhood. The noise level is
such that it disrupts their sleep and aggravates their daily
life. The noise level is intolerable and must be stopped.
The are petitioning the Town of Wappinger to enforce the noise
ordinance. Although Home Depot is in the jurisdiction of the
Village the residents would like the Town of Wappingers to
intervene on their behalf.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to authorize Supervisor Smith forward
the petition to the Mayor of the Village with a letter, and a
carbon copy to Home Depot, on behalf of the residents of Dorothy
Heights.
