VIII. Discussions
A. Association of Town Conference/ Bettina
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:09 PM. Councilman Bettina noted that he
was in Manhattan for two nights for last year's Association of Towns conference. He would like
the Town Board, Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals to be able to spend two nights
again. He made a motion to allow the Town Board, Planning Board and Zoning Board members
to attend the Annual Association of Towns Conference in New York City, and said members will
be limited to two evenings lodging at the Warwick Hotel, on Sunday, February the 14th, and
Monday evening, February the 15th; in addition, said members will be limited to IRS approval
for mileage and meals reimbursement for the New York City area. Supervisor Colsey seconded
the motion for discussion. He confirmed that some attendees did stay for two nights. He went
on to say that the classes are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. The first class doesn't begin
until 10:00 or 10:30 AM on both Monday and Tuesday. He does not believe that there is any
additional educational value to staying for an additional night. The Supervisor also noted that
thousands of Wappinger residents commute to the city on a daily basis. There is adequate time
to arrive and check-in before the first class. At the rate of $200 per night, plus additional
expenses, he finds this to be inappropriate. He did send the proposed budget for this training to
the Board via email. The budget was for up to $5000. That figure included one night in a hotel,
registration, $50 per day for meals and transportation via Metro -North for up to 12 people. He
feels that it is unreasonable to move on Councilman Bettina's Resolution. Councilman Bettina
disagreed. He feels that it is unfair to have to register on Monday, since registration begins on
Sunday afternoon. He went on to say that education is important for the Planning Board and
Zoning Board. He noted that there is a motion and second on the table. Supervisor Colsey
corrected Councilman Bettina, noting that all attendees are already pre -registered. It should take
no more than 5 or 10 minutes to check-in. Councilman Beale noted that he has never had to
commute to this conference. He feels that it is more convenient for attendees to be in the city the
night before. Councilman Bettina added that he will also be taking his own vehicle, will not be
utilizing Metro -North and will be taking the IRS deduction for mileage and also for meals.
Councilman Beale asked how this would affect the total cost. Councilman Paoloni asked if this
would only include the Town Board, Planning Board and ZBA. Councilman Bettina explained
why he feels that these specific Board Members should be included. He asked who else is
scheduled to attend. Supervisor Colsey listed some of the registered people. Councilman
Paoloni noted that the total number of attendees for Councilman Bettina's motion is down to 8:
the Town Board, ZBA and Planning Board. Councilman Beale clarified that attendees would
include four Town Board members, two Planning Board members and two ZBA members for a
total of 8. Councilman Bettina stated that he has a right to know who else is going to attend.
Supervisor Colsey explained that he reached out to every Planning Board, ZBA and Town Board
Member. After a certain deadline had passed, he then reached out to the Town Clerk, Town
Accountant and others. The Supervisor also noted that registrations were put on his personal
credit card. Discussion about the credit card followed.
Supervisor Colsey summarized that this is a budgeted event. He talked to the three
Boards before it was opened up to others. There are 11 people attending and the total cost is
right around the $5000 point. Councilman Bettina's proposal would increase the cost at the rate
Town of Wappinger Page 4 Printed 1/29/2010
Regular Meeting Minutes January 25, 2010
of $195 per person per night. Councilman Paoloni noted that the suggestion is to only let the
Town Board, Planning Board and ZBA attend. Councilman Bettina confirmed, saying that these
are the only people that make decisions. The other people are extra. Supervisor Colsey noted
that, if anyone registers after this date, they will have to do it on-site. Councilman Beale noted
that he cannot make a decision on this if more people are going to register now. Councilman
Paoloni felt that there would be no more people asking to attend now, just because an additional
night has been added. Councilman Beale and Supervisor Colsey replied that there would.
Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey called for a vote. Councilman Paoloni clarified that this was only for
the three Boards. Councilman Bettina amended his motion to: "A motion to authorize the Town
Board, Planning Board Zoning Board Members to attend the annual conference in New York
City; said members will be limited to evenings lodging at the Warwick Hotel on Sunday evening,
February 14th specifically, Monday, February 15th; and in addition, said members would be
limited to the IRS approved mileage and meal reimbursement for the New York City area
because there are different reimbursements they can take". Supervisor Colsey noted that
Councilman Bettina just tripled the figure. He stated that he needs to know what the educational
benefit is to spending an additional night. Councilman Beale noted that there is a welcome
ceremony at 8:OOAM on Monday. Councilman Bettina and Councilman Paoloni noted that the
exhibits are useful and will be setting up as well. Supervisor Colsey replied that the exhibits are
available throughout the conference. He asked for a specific budget amount for the motion.
Discussion about the motion followed. Councilman Bettina amended the motion to not include
meal reimbursements in general. He also took the mileage out. The motion was now as follows:
"A motion to authorize the Town Board, Planning Board Zoning Board Members to attend the
annual Association of Towns conference in New York City; said members will be limited to
evenings lodging at the Warwick Hotel on Sunday evening February the 14th, Monday evening,
February the 15th; said Members will not be reimbursed for mileage nor meals". Discussion
followed. The motion passed 4-1, with Beale, Bettina, Czarniecki and Paoloni voting "Aye" and
Colsey voting "Nay". Councilman Beale asked that this be worked out in advance in the future.
Councilman Bettina agreed that it should be, because these are the most important Boards that
there are. Supervisor Colsey explained that it was worked out and a Resolution was set and
passed on January 4th. Two weeks later, after it was spelled out in the Resolution, the Board
wants to amend it. He went on to note that the only thing that changed here is the want to have
an additional night at the hotel. Councilman Bettina replied that that was a matter of opinion.
Supervisor Colsey pointed out that the motion was for two nights in a hotel. Councilman Bettina
noted that it was two nights for educational purposes. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at
7:32 PM.

of Towns

B. 2008 Financial Audit - Sedore & CoXolsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:32 PM. Linda Hannigan and Susan Tucker,
from Sedore & Co., were present to give a report on the 2008 financial audit for the Town of
Wappinger. Fredrick Awino, the Town Accountant, was also present. Ms. Hannigan presented
the report, with explanation, to the Town Board. She and Ms. Tucker fielded questions from the
Board pertaining to things such as the Parkland Trust Fund, the timing of the report and so on.
Councilman Paoloni noted a section that mentioned shortfalls and the use of fund balance
being the result of Assessor's mailings. The Board discussed whether such a statement was
accurate or sufficient to describe the Town's financial situation. Supervisor Colsey feels that it is
accurate, but may not be as significant as some other things. Councilwoman Czarniecki asked if
changing this would substantially change the report. Ms. Tucker answered that the change
would only alter the description of why fund balance was used. Councilwoman Czarniecki
asked if this was something the Board could accept and move forward or if Councilman Paoloni
would like it to be recorded. Councilman Paoloni felt that it would be nice if it were more
accurate. Councilwoman Czarniecki noted that she has had the report for a week and a half. She
would have liked to have heard about this problem in advance. Supervisor Colsey went on to
clarify that it would have been good if an email was sent in advance as opposed to waiting until
the Board Meeting to bring it up. Discussion about the correction of the page followed. The
Town of Wappinger Page 5 Printed 1/2912010
Regular Meeting Minutes January 25, 2010
Board then went on to discuss the importance of the document and whether it needs to be voted
on or just accepted by the Board.
Mr. Hannigan and Ms. Tucker stated that they can correct the page and send an updated
document. Councilman Paoloni will email the auditors with the proper wording so that they can
make the correction. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:09 PM.
C. Sewer Consolidation Update - Al Roberts/ Colsey
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:10 PM. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, began
the discussion of the topic by providing a brief history of the situation. He noted for Councilman
Paoloni that there is no intent to change any of the bonds or bond payments. Once the bonds are
retired, they are not going to be assumed by any of the other districts. This is only to change the
form of entity by which the Town funds projects going forward. He continued with his recap
and moved onto his presentation. Mr. Roberts used an overhead projector to illustrate his points.
This legislation would consolidate the interconnected phases into a district. It would not retire or
change any bonds. It will facilitate any future bonds that will be required at the Tri -Municipal
Sewer Plant. Within the next 5 years, there will be capital improvements at the plant. Mr.
Tremper explained that the Town had 10 water districts. The Town combined the districts into
one United Wappinger Water District. With sewer districts, when the bill comes in, it needs to
be separated into several districts. Discussion followed. The Board went on to discuss which
charges would be attributable to repairs or upgrades and which would be attributable to
expansion. Some charges would be isolated and some would be universal. Councilman Paoloni
asked if Tri -Muni had any say in how the Town allocates amongst the district(s). All present
agreed that Tri -Muni does not have any control over financing, type of district or improvement
area or geographical boundaries. Councilman Paoloni asked that it be clarified that the
triggering of a plant expansion, which would require bonding, would be paid for by those
residents within the expansion area. Mr. Roberts confirmed that they would not be part of this
legislation. If they wanted to be in the district, the district would have to be expanded, and the
new areas that are going to get the expanded services would have to pay for the expansion.
Supervisor Colsey asked that this statement be included in the Minutes. Discussion about
allocation and expansion followed. The Board also discussed the status of gaining a seat on the
Tri -Muni Board. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:41 PM.

with a memo and a map to accompany this discussion. There are four items left to be resolved
before the Board can adopt the Plan. Those items are affordable housing, the New Hackensack

as R-80 was seconded by Councilwoman Czarniecki. The motion was then adopted 4 to 1, with
