Next is a Memo from Supervisor Smith regarding the drainage
problem that Mr. William Quimby is experiencing at 36 Theresa

water sweeps over the drainage grate and washes away his
driveway. Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town looked into the
problem and advised Mr. Foster Highway Superintendent to place a
blacktop berm around the catch basin to better capture the
runoff prior to it entering Mr. Quimby's driveway and install
some Item No. 4 fill at the end of Mr. Quimby's driveway that
has washed away.

Boards's recent passage of new zoning amendments, which affect
the property, the aforementioned restrictions no longer apply,
and should be removed of record. Mr. Egitto is requesting, on
behalf of his client, to have these restrictions removed as they
are no longer in accord with the new zoning amendments.

At this time, COUNCILMAN INCORONATO questioned Supervisor Smith
on the total cost of construction for the Emergency Services

SUPERVISOR SMITH said she is gathering all this information

Correspondence was received from Joseph W. Grogan, PE Dutchess
County Department of Public Works in response to a letter he
received from Highway Superintendent Graham Foster in which
concern was expressed about the phasing of the traffic signal
light at Ketcham High School and County Route 93 (Myers Corners
Road). Mr. Grogan explained that this particular signal is
owned and operated by the Wappingers School District. They
applied to the County to erect the signal and were given
permission to do so. The concern expressed by Mr. Foster had
previously been noted by a resident of Erwin Drive who called it
to the attention of the school district in April 1989. The
matter was fully addressed by Robert Hintersteiner, P.E., who
designed this signal for the school district and established the
phasing. Mr. Hintersteiner is a recognized expert in traffic
signal design. It is Mr. Hintersteiner's opinion that the
signal phasing is proper. There is no accident (history due to
this signal phasing) to warrant further investigation.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO disagreed with Mr. Grogan's response, and
Page 7
950828.RGM
consulted Mr. Roberts, Attorney to the Town as to the next step
that should be taken on this matter. Mr. Roberts suggested
calling in another expert. Also, because the light is owned and
operated by the Wappingers School District, a suggestion was
made to petition the school with their concerns.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Supervisor Smith to
send a letter to Mr. Marmillo, Superintendent of Schools, with a
request to change the light.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
A request from Patricia Maupin, Receiver of Taxes, for
permission to establish another business checking account with
Fleet Bank, Middlebush Road, for the School Tax collection. The
current checking account is interest bearing for Realty Taxes.
As the school district has not authorized Mrs. Maupin to collect
interest on the School Taxes, the money must be separate.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to authorize Patricia Maupin, Receiver
of Taxes, to establish a non-interest bearing business checking
account, for the deposit of the School Taxes.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
A Memo was received from Ralph Holt, requesting permission to
spend up to $3,000.00 to hook up to the Town water line which
runs to the back of the barn property on Elizabeth Terrace. The
funds will be used to purchase the materials needed for the
project from N. & S. Supply. The labor would be done by the
Recreation Maintenance & Highway Department. The water that is
currently at the site is well water and is heavily sulfured and
undrinkable. The funds for this project are in the A-7110.4
account of the Recreation Budget.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to authorize Ralph Holt to spend up to
$3,000.00 to hook up to the Town water line which runs to the
Page 8
back of the barn property on Elizabeth Terrace.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti

Motion Unanimously Carried
After the vote, Mr. Incoronato questioned the Board as to the
quality of the water, and how many people would benefit by
hooking up to the Town water line. There was some discussion
and it was decided before any action was taken, CAMO sample the
water and report back with their findings.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to rescind the above recommendation
and table, pending sampling of water by CAMO.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato

to the Town, on the Beverly/Houghtaling dispute. Mr. Roberts

The following correspondence was received from Isaac D. Rubin,
Co -Chairperson, Neighborhood Watch of Michael Drive.
Dear Mrs. Smith:
On behalf of the Neighborhood Watch Group of Michael Drive, I
would like to thank you once again for the barrier blocking the
cul-de-sac at the end of Michael Drive.
The barrier has been in place long enough for us to evaluate the
situation. The barrier has done even more good than we
expected. Last summer the situation at the cul-de-sac was grim.
This summer it is considerably improved (some 4 wheel drive
vehicles still come through) and the traffic, noise,
hooliganism, dealing, etc. in the neighborhood have gone down
appreciably.
We would like to keep the barrier in place as long as the
cul-de-sac is empty of houses. In winter, the snow plows
cleared the neighborhood without problems, as they did for years
before the cul-de-sac was created. There is a fire hydrant in
front of the last house on Michael Drive ( No. 16), thus the one
at the very end of the street past the barrier appears to be of
no use till houses are built in the cul-de-sac.
We appreciate your concern for keeping up the quality of life in
Wappingers Falls in general and our neighborhood in particular.
Sincerely,
Isaac D. Rubin
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept the correspondence and
place it on file.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town went over his report on the
cost of the relocation work for the Wappinger Sewer Transmission
Treatment Improvement Area Phase II Contract No. 2. Project and
a revised Cost Estimate from Camo Pollution for Temporary
Generator Hookup for the Rockingham Farms Water Treatment Plant.
Central Hudson has removed their wires and will re -install them
after one (1) month (September 15, 1995) at a quoted price of
$1,500.00. NYNEX has relocated the phone line and will
re -install onto the new poles when required. The quoted cost
for NYNEX work is $600.00. Because the Rockingham Farms Water
Treatment Plant controls are not equipped with a quick
Page 10
950828.RGM
disconnect or a manual transfer switch for the use of an
auxiliary power generator, the estimated cost from Camo
Pollutions to transport, purchase and install wire, install
underground conduit, provide electrical hookup per electrical
code, monitor all phased and electrical hookups, disconnect wire
and all appropriate conduits, rehook Central Hudson Power and
assure proper operation of the system, is $3,500.00. Also to
protect the generator from vandalism and possibly some serious
injury by children trespassing in that area, temporary fencing
will be installed at an estimated cost of $800.00. The
generator will be required to operate 24 hours per day for the
entire 30 day period. To provide for the delivery of fuel, fuel
costs and all required daily servicing for the equipment over
that extended period of time, the estimated cost is $160.00 per
day.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to accept Mr. Paggi's report and
place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
Next is correspondence from Arlene Burke of 4 Scott Drive
regarding the infestation of Rats in her yard, when the Town
performed dredging of the drainage ditch that runs through the
back of her property. Mrs. Burke is requesting restitution from
the Town in the amount of $333.44 to cover the cost of damage
created by the rodents and for the services of an exterminator.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to refer the above claim submitted by
Mrs. Burke to Marshall and Sterling, Town Insurance Agent.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
A memo from Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent with a
request for the return of a road opening permit that was issued
to Karen Burke in the amount of $500, but never used, since the
road did not have to be cut.
Page 11
950828.RGM
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to approve the return of $500.00 to
Karen Burke for the road opening permit that was issued, but
never used, based on the recommendation of Graham Foster,
Highway Superintendent.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
The last piece of correspondence is also from Mr. Foster. He
would like to complete the water line connection to the Highway
Department and in order to do complete the water line, is
requesting the Town Board give Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town
permission to write up the Specs. Once they are written up,
Mr. Foster can obtain 3 quotes to complete the necessary work.
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Jay Paggi, Engineer to
the Town to write up Specs for the water connection line to the
Highway Department.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Next is an item that was brought to Mr. Incoronato's attention
regarding the removal of several desks from the Schlathaus
House. Supervisor Smith informed Mr. Incoronato that the Town
was authorized to put them out to Bid There were no Bids.
They were then authorized to donate them to an organization or
discard them. They were to be discarded at the Spring cleanup.
Due to an oversight, they were never discarded. When
Councilwoman Visconti showed some interest in obtaining some
second hand desks, Supervisor Smith recalled the above
mentioned desks. Mrs. Visconti went to look at them and $150.00
was agreed upon for the desks. The value that the Town Board
placed on the desks was "no value". Mr. Roberts, Attorney to
the Town indicated that what had been done was done correctly
and legally. Mr. Incoronato commented, no individual can make
that decision. Mr. Roberts indicated yes, that was correct, but
Page 12
950828.RGM
the Town Board had already placed the value of the desks, that
being, "no value", and all had been done within the guidelines
of Town Law.
COMMITTEE REPORT
L
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO had no Committee Reports at this time.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI an update on the tank situation at the
Highway Department. Mr. Foster informed Mr. Valdati there is
nothing new at this time. The wells from the adjoining
properties are still being monitored. Mr Valdati also spoke
with Doug Warren. Mr. Warren wrote to DOT a year ago
regarding the conditions at 9D and Montclair Townhouses and has
not had a response yet. Mr. Valdati contacted Mr. Saland and
Mr. Miller to intercede on this matter. They assured him they
would. He also wrote to Mr. Mignogna the Traffic Engineer of
DOT. There seems to be a problem with Speed signs. The Speed
limit goes from a reasonable speed of 35 MPH at the
intersection of Hughsonville and 9D then goes to 45MPH shortly
after Ketchamtown Road. If the Board has some thoughts on this
we should request lower speed limits on 9D as we have done in
other areas. Mrs. Smith informed the Board that Mr. Schouten
had written a second letter to DOT regarding the dangerous
condition that exists, perhaps a letter from the Town is also in
order to follow up. Also invite members of DOT to attend one
of our workshops. Mr. Incoronato said he had received a call
from Jean Gunsch and she informed him that a traffic study is
underway and the results will be out shortly.
COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to authorize the Supervisor to write a
letter to DOT, with our request to lower the speed limits, with
copies to Mr. Saland and Mr. Miller.
Seconded by Mr. Incoronato
Motion Unanimously Carried
Page 13
950828.RGM
Mr. Paggi recommended that in the letter Supervisor Smith
sends to DOT, also inform them of the broken yellow line on 9D
by the basket shop that allows passing which should be
eliminated.
COUNCILMAN INCORONATO had no reports at this time
COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI had no reports at this time.
BONDS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
Don Close, Zoning Administrator submitted his report for the
month of July on the schedule of Bonds and Letters of Credit
on the various subdivisions, the amounts, expiration dates and

Motion Unanimously Carried
Also correspondence from the Planning Board, at their meeting of
August 21, 1995 it was unanimously voted to recommend as per Jay
Paggi's letter dated August 17, 1995 to reduce the Bond amount
for Hunt Subdivision Section II from $191,137.00 to $62,520.00.
