Dominello, as Hughsonville representative, whose term will expire July, 1995, as members of the Town of Wappinger Fire Prevention Bureau. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Two pieces of Correspondence were received from NYSEC Affirmative Action Program The first was in regard to Phase II contract No. 1-2.1 The Bureau of Minority and Women's Business Programs reviewed the plan submitted to the office by the T/W for Alexandra Development, Inc. The contractor documented extensive efforts to secure M/WBE subcontractors. Therefore the Bureau will waive the unmet MBE amount ($116,692) and WBE amount ($43,561), and recommended that the Town encourage the prime contractor to take every possible opportunity to achieve additional M/WBE participation. The affirmative action program requires that the contractor's efforts must be documented with records of such good faith efforts maintained in the Town offices. The second plan to be reviewed by NYSEC Affirmative Action Program was Contract A/E Services submitted by Paggi and Martin. The utilization plan shows a large deficiency. It also does not specify how the contractor intends to achieve the full Page 2 940725.RGM M/WBE goal amount.

Mr. Paggi was also questioned as to the construction of the crossover at Dennis place, and explained it was built to facilitate school bus crossings, and at the request of various residents. COUNCILWOMAN VISCONTI moved to authorize Al Roberts Attorney to the Town to draw up a Local Law in regard to the STOP sign at intersection of Wendy Drive & Wildwood Drive, pending input from Mr. Paggi and Mr. Foster. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried The second report submitted by Engineer to the Town, Jay Paggi, concerned the Stotz Mobile Home Park and their request to connect to the North Wappinger Water District permanently. Mr. Paggi recommended that Attorney to the Town, Al Roberts, look into whether or not the Mobile Park should become a tenant to the District or the District, (North Wappinger Water) be Page 3 940725.RGM expanded.

The $100.00 should be paid to the Comptroller's Office prior to the use of any water.
