Correspondence form John Badar, 11 Deer Run, regarding the
damage caused to his home by a Sewage Backup. Also a statement
of cost and repair or replacement he received from the insurance
company. The total estimated cost of repair was $1,112.39. The
Page 2
951227.RGM
total reimbursement was $569.65. The value not reimbursed was
$542.74. Supervisor Smith informed the Board that she forwarded
this correspondence to CAMO Pollution.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to accept the correspondence and place
it on file.
i
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence from M.T. O'Leary regarding the withdrawal of the
DiMarco Place Phase II Project application. After discussing
the projected ranking of the proposed project with Beth Doyle,
Ms. O'Leary was informed that the project did not expect to rank
more that 50 or 55 points and since no project that ranked below
a 60 was funded in the 1995 round, this application would not be
considered competitive for 1996 funding. Accordingly, Hudson
Valley Housing Development Fund Company, Inc. would not be
submitting a Community Development Block Grant application for
this project. COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI commented that any future
I
projects that are placed before the Town Board to support
for CD funding, do their homework first with documentation that
their projects will be approved so the Town may not lose out on
a project that they are applying for.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to accept the correspondence and
place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Next is a petition from residents living on or near the curve on
All Angels Hill Road (County Route 94) between Peters Road and
Dugan Lane, with a request for the Town to do whatever may be
helpful to avoid further deaths, injuries and property damage,
both to motorists and the residents property along this very
dangerous curve. Misleading speed limit signs, lack of adequate
caution signs and an unusually slick surface every time the road
becomes even slightly wet, an average of at least three
Page 3
951227.RGM
accidents occur. Blinking caution lights, and changing the road
surface would ensure a decrease of injuries, damage and death.
However they understand these can be rather costly and are
limiting their request at this time to the addition of signs to
be placed around the outside of the curve. t
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to accept the correspondence and
place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Several reports from Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town. The first
report concerns the Buckley Drainage on Myers Corners Road. He
field inspected the area with Mr. Buckley and viewed the site
and adjoining properties. It is obvious that the groundwater
elevation in the area is such that at times the basement of the
Buckley house gets water in it. Mr. Buckley has installed two
sump pumps to take care of this water. However, Mr. Buckley
feels that if the elevation of the pond owned by Mr. Laks, due
west of the Buckley property, is lowered, then the ground water
would be lowered, and subsequently, the impact on his basement.
Mr. Paggi explained to Mr. Buckley and to neighbors, Mr. Laks,
and Mr. VanKirk, that this appeared to be a private property
matter, and not something the Town should be involved in. It
is the opinion of this office that this is NOT a Town problem
and should be worked out between Mr. Buckley and his neighbors.
A copy of this report will be sent to all parties involved.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the report and place it on
file.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
The second report concerns Watchhill Water costs. This office
was advised by CAMO Pollution that the location of the water
mains is accurate. There is no water main in front of the six
Page 4
951227.RGM
(6) lots on Moccasin View Drive, although they are within the
legal boundaries of the district. The only way to serve these
lots would be to extend the water main approximately 500 feet
in a northwesterly direction on Moccasin View Drive. The
Service connection could then be tapped off this newly installed
I
r. main to serve the six (6) lots. The projected costs are as
follows:
Construction Cost $62,500.00
Contingency 6,250.00
Engineer & Inspection Fees 13,750.00
Legal Fees 3,437.00
TOTAL PROJECT COST $85,937.00
Mr. Paggi does not believe that approvals from the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation will be needed,
as the lots are already within the water district. However,
technical approval of plans must be obtained by the DC Health
Department and coordination with the Town Board, Town of
Fishkill will be required.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Supervisor Smith send a
letter to owners of the six (6) lots informing what the cost
would be to install the new main to serve them.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
The third report concerns Panoram Estates. After viewing the
map of Panoram Estates showing Mr. DeRario's lot (Lot # 37), the
existing brook and the existing culvert are shown. There are no
easements through Mr. DeRario's lot. All the easements lie west
on other lands. Please note, that this map was never filed,
however, the map in my possession is the final map prepared.

The last report concerns the Wappinger Sewer Improvement Area
No. 1 Additional Sewer Collection Lines.
SUPERVISOR SMITH informed the Board that a Workshop for January
8, 1995, is scheduled to address this issue. Mr. Paggi
explained that he and Mr. Roberts, Attorney to the Town had also
worked out different options for the 29 residents, to be
discussed at the Workshop.
Next is correspondence from Graham Foster with the following
tentative list of roads scheduled for resurfacing in 1996:
Seneca Drive
Erie Drive
Mohawk Drive
Onandaga Drive
Beatty Road
Portions of Old Route 9
Dean Avenue
Tuscorora Road
Cayuga Drive
Iroquois Drive
Oneida Drive
Partners Road
Regency Drive
Succhich Place
Long Court
Plum Court
Short Court
Mr. Foster reminded the Board that the Town's failure to
complete the Tri -Muni projects in a timely fashion will heavily
impact the paving of these roads.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the tentative list of
roads to be resurfaced in 1996 from Mr. Foster, and place it on
file.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence from the Dutchess County Department of Health
advising the Town Board that the Corrosion Control Treatment
Report submitted by Joseph Paggi, Engineer to the Town was
approved on November 8, 1995 and informing them that the
Treatment system must be installed by May 4, 1997. MR. PAGGI
informed the Board that work would be starting on the Corrosion
Control program in the Rockingham section of the Central
Wappinger Water Improvement Area in January and he would be
reporting back to the Board on its progress.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to accept the correspondence and place

Motion Unanimously Carried
Next, The Zoning Board of Appeals would like permission for Al
Roberts, Attorney to the Town render an opinion regarding the
Gasland Petroleum Co. application.
SUPERVISOR SMITH explained that there may be litigation and Mr.
Roberts must be prepared to assist if necessary.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Al Roberts, Attorney to
the Town, to assist the Zoning Board in the event they should
have an article 78.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
Correspondence from Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town with an
opinion letter on the Costs of the Watch Hill Water Improvement
Line Extension. In his professional judgment, the cost of this
line extension should be paid for by the six lots to be
serviced. This situation would be analogous to the creation of
a new subdivision within the Central Wappinger Water Improvement
Area. Any new development would be required to construct the
road, water line, sewer lines, etc., at the developer's cost.
In hindsight, it probably would have been appropriate to require
the original subdivider (Leslie Merritt) to extend the water
line as a condition of the subdivision, but that was not done.
In his opinion it would be unfair to spread the cost of the
water line for the six lots among all the properties within the
Water Improvement Area.
COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to accept the correspondence and
VOW place it on file.

The next item for the Boards consideration is the initial
payment request from the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission for
Page 7
951227.RGM
operation and maintenance costs for the period January 1, 1996
through March 31, 1996 as required, by their contract with the
Town of Wappinger, dated July 10, 1991 and later amended on
August 22, 1994. This amount, $76,187.50, is due prior to
admitting the Town's flow to the treatment facility. SUPERVISOR Ij
SMITH informed the Board that we do have a refund coming to the
Town of Wappinger some time in June.
COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to authorize the Supervisor to pay
$76,187.50 to the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission for Operation
and Maintenance Costs for the period January 1, 1996 through
March 31, 1996.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town, with a report in reference to
Atlas, Hilltop and Rockingham Well Fields, Chlorine Retention
Facilities and Groundwater Under the Influence of Surface Water
Determination. As per correspondence received from the New
York State Department of Health and the Dutchess County Health
Department, be advised that the above referenced public water
supply wells have been determined to be not under significant
influence of surface waters. We were awaiting this
determination prior to performing any of the necessary upgrading
of the existing chlorine detention facilities. Plans and
reports for chlorine detention facilities at the Hilltop and
Rockingham well fields were previously submitted to, and
approved by the Dutchess County Health Department on June 14,
1990 and March 17, 1989, respectively. No plans were ever
submitted for the Atlas well field. We would recommend the
following:
1. Plans and specifications previously submitted for the
Hilltop and Rockingham chlorine detention facilities be updated
to 1995 standards and re -submitted to the Dutchess County Health
Department for approval.
2. Plans and specifications ensuring that all wells at the
lam-IMEWI
951227.RGM
Hilltop and Rockingham well fields are above the 100 year flood
elevation be prepared and submitted to the Dutchess County
Health Department for approval.
3. Pending the results of the upcoming aquifer analysis of
the Atlas well field, plans and specifications be generated for
the installation of adequate chlorine detention facilities. The
results of the aquifer analysis will dictate the nature and
extent of the proposed chlorine detention facilities.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Mr. Paggi, Engineer to
the Town continue with the schedule of Items 1 and 2 of this
Report.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
The last piece of correspondence is from Jean Gunsch, CE of the
NTSDOT to Paul L. Cassillo, PE, Commissioner, County
Superintendent of Highways, which concerns the Linear Speed
Limit of CR 93, Myers Corners Road. Mrs. Gunsch stated that
it is the goal of her department to establish speed limits which
correspond to the prevailing operating conditions along the
roadway. In this way, the majority of motorists will
voluntarily comply with the posted speed limit, promoting a
uniform flow of traffic. Speed limits which do not reflect the
prevailing roadway characteristics are not widely followed
unless regular enforcement is provided. Given the above, her
department will agree to a reduction in the speed limit from 40
MPH to 35 MPH on CR 93 between All Angels Hill Road and Brothers
Road, provided a commitment is received that the 35 mph
regulation will be regularly enforced by the Dutchess County
Sheriff's Department and the DOT receive summary reports of the
enforcement efforts so the data can be assessed. Furthermore,
when the roadway improvements scheduled for this area are
completed, an evaluation of the new travel speeds to determine
if the regulation should remain at 35 MPH or be restored to 40
MPH. She will await a written commitment from the County before
any further action is taken.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Supervisor Smith send
Page 9
951227.RGM
letters to the New York State Police and the Dutchess County
Sheriff, and attach a copy of this letter from Jean Gunsch.

Mr. Incoronato commented on the correspondence from Graham
Foster, Highway Superintendent regarding the Defensive Driving
Course. He noted that course credit is about to expire and the
Highway men can no longer receive the training from the County.
SUPERVISOR SMITH informed the Board that 3 proposals were
received for the Defensive Driving Course and Brown's Auto
Driving School was the lowest at a cost of $30.00 per person for
a six hour course. SUPERVISOR SMITH said that it was not
necessary for the Highway men to be recertified this year, as
the Insurance Policy is still in full force and effect until
1997, however, if anyone wishes to take the course on their own,
she will see to it that the Town Hall is made available for
them on a Saturday to utilize this service.
A Bid Report for a Sweeper was submitted by Graham Foster,
Superintendent of Highways. Three Bids were obtained,
the lowest being Gannon Municipal Equipment, with a bid of
$99,800.00. Mr. Foster recommends the Bid be awarded to Gannon
Municipal, they being the lowest Bid.
COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to award the Bid, upon the
recommendation of Graham Foster, to Gannon Municipal Equipment,
$99,800.00, for the purchase of a Sweeper.

Next is a Change Order request from Jay Paggi, Engineer to the
Town, for the Wappinger Sewer Transmission Treatment Improvement
Area Phase I, Contract No. 3.
The Change Order No. 1 consist of the deletion of Item 9.01
"Electrical Service", from the contract work. The electrical
work was originally included in this contract to provide
a new electrical service to the existing lift station, because
the existing electrical service to the station was to be
terminated during the demolition of the Oakwood operations
building. However, during the Town Board meeting on November
13, 1995, the Town Board decided to keep the Oakwood operations
building, thereby negating the need for a new electrical service
to the lift station. The decrease due to the removal of this
Item is $12,700.00; subsequently, reducing the total contract
amount to $65,271.00 for $77,971.00.
