Dear Supervisor Colsey:
In accordance with our discussions, the Town of Wappinger Recreation Department is requesting
the purchase of a "point and shoot" digital camera, with the primary purpose to capture images for
use within the annual Town Recreation Guide and website postings.
To this date, photos have been taken by a film camera, with such being converted through a
scanner by Recreation Commission members.
We have explored the use of taking such images through a cell phone camera, but gained advice
that such resolution is too poor to utilize in the Recreation Guide or a website. Most current cell
phone cameras offer a resolution of 2 - 3 mega pixels, far short of the recommended five or
better.
It is requested that the Town Board approve the expense of a digital camera through budget line
II ~ 11*. 10"0 in an amount not to exceed $250.00.
