The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of January 27, 1992 and the Special Meeting of February 10, 1992, having previously been forwarded to the Board Members, were now placed before them their consideration. The Supervisor had a correction in the Minutes of January 27, 1992 under "Unfinished Business" and referred to the first paragraph relating to Resolutions that would be addressed at the Association of Towns Meeting which stated that "she" reviewed. This should read that the "Town Board" reviewed since they were discussed by all of them at a work shop; also instead of "she" was required to inform them of this decision, it should read that the "Town Board" was required to do this. In the February 10 Special. Meeting, referencing the Amendment to the Bidding Policy, a portion of the first paragraph was not; included. RM22492 MRS. VISCONTI moved that the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of January 27, 1992 and the Special Meeting of February 10, 1992, be and they are hereby approved, as corrected, as submitted by the Town Clerk.

How many work shop sessions did he attend was the next question and the response from Mrs. Smith was that she would have to look it up but she knew he was at the first meeting in January. She mentioned that he is on vacation in Myrtle Beach and although she is not absolutely certain, she believes he will be at the March meeting. Will he be compensated for his absences was Mr. Incoronato's next question; Mrs. Smith z had problems with that, top, but she hasn't discussed this with the Board to decide how to handle this. The other Board Members have been present and performing their duties, but in Mr. Mills' case there may be no resolution of this since he is salaried and and not paid hourly and so far she has not found any rulings that pertain to this matter. She will continue to work on this and Mr. Incoronato asked that he be kept abreast of what the Board decides to do.

She took pride in announcing that. this Report was again submitted earlier than the due date which never happened prior to her taking over the position of Supervisor. In reference to the Zoning Administrator's Report, Mrs. Visconti suggested that under the total amount of $8,000 for Escrow Fees, this be broken down and the names and amounts listed individually since sometimes they have trouble keeping track of these escrows.

Even the names to identify the offices of the various departments have to be in braille for our blind visitors.

This firm will do the survey anJ point out the various errors that presently exist throughout the halls and offices of the Town buildings.

As a new Councilman he found it to be helpful with items that apply to our Town; lots of insight on the budget, federal taxes, etc. Mrs. Smith agreed that th class on the impact on state budget was very informative. Mr. Foster asked about the $20 mill -ion cuts to the CHIPS program and asked if there was opposition to that; Mrs. Smith noted that there was a lot of opposition. Mr. Foster said they asked for a Town Board Resolution of opposition but the Board met after the day the Resolution was due to be submitted. Mrs. Smith referred to the proposed reapportionment in Dutchess County and she took the liberty of compiling a letter of opposition from each Counilperson and all they have to do is sign it. They will be lo.ing representation and. she did not .rant to see that happen. Mrs. Smith said this was the time she planned to submit her Supervisor's Report and tell everyone how great it was but the Town Clerk included it with the reports. She said it made real good reading. Mrs. Snowden added that the Report is on file in her office and anyone is welcome to come in, sit down and read it or copy it. The Supervisor noted that it is a good report; they did a lot of cutback and as a result, the Town is in good shape. We are progressin very nicely and NOBODY is buying RM22192 7 anything.

Since there were only three Members present and Mr. Wallace had a conflict of interest in voting for the fuel oil bid , Mrs. Smith tabled action on awarding this bid. MRS. VISCONTI moved to award the bid for gasoline, salt, tires and tubes, liquid calcium, as recommended by the Highway Superintendent.

Seconded by Mrs. Smith Motion Unanimously Carried UNFINISHED BUSINESS --- A bill for sewer backup on property owned by John `Mason at 59 Top -O -Hill Road was tabled at the previous meeting for further review. This was discussed by the Board at their recent work shop and they felt they had done all they could to educate the residents on the procedure to follow when this problem occurred. They were mailed instructions twice indicating that: the residents should call Camo Pollution Control, operators of the Town's water and sewer plants, before they contacted an outside firm. Since Mr. Mason chose to ignore these instructions thereby incurring more expense to the Town, the Board Members agreed that his claim should be rejected. MRS. VISCONTI moved to deny the claim submitted by Mr. Mason for sewer backup on his property at 59 Top -O -Hill Road. Seconded by Mr.. Wallace Motion Unanimously Carried RM22492 �9 In the matter of the Rockingham Farms, Set.tembrino Project, the Engineer reported that the cost of this work will be appropriated from the original bond for the Rockingham Farms stream cleaning since there are monies available for this work. MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the Engineer to prepare the contract for the Settembrino Project, funds to be appropriated from the Rockingham Farms Stream Cleaning Bond, and further authorized the Supervisor to sign said contract. Seconded by Mr. Wallace Motion. Unanimously Carried Mr. Foster had previously submitted the equipment rental rates for 1992 which included equipment and experienced personnel fo_ work on the Town roads, specifically blacktopping. Since the Town does not own this type of equipment, the rental rates are submitted annually by the Highway Superintendent for approval by the Town Board. MRS. VISCONTI moved to accept the equipment rental rates for 1992 as provided by the Highway Superintendent. Seconded by Mrs. Smith Motion. Unanimously Carried A second communication was received from Robert Padworski, Chairman of the Hughsonville Board of Fire Commissioners in regard to an appointment on the Town Fire Prevention Bureau. He indicates that this Board is in favor of a specific appoint— ment, however., the FPB has objections. Since the Town Board has no jurisdiction in this appointment, there were no comments to make. MRS. VISCONTI moved to place the correspondence on file. Seconded by Mrs. Smith Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Visconti asked about the status of the CD funds t:hich the nb RM22492 Town applied for and the Supervisor replied that she had received a letter from the Dutchess County Planning Board indicating that she should send a request to three firms for proposals regarding the study for the expansion of the Senior Citizen Center. She has not received a formal notification but it is her understanding that the Town will receive $20,000 for a feasibility study which will determine the cost of the addition. If this is acceptable to the Board they will then apply for grants to pay for it, if the cost is exorbitant, they will have to put it off for now. NEW BUSINESS --- A Memo was sent to the Town Board from the Highway Superintendent regarding personal time for the Highway employees stating that there is some conflict in the interpretation of this policy. It seems that some of the employees have been taking all six days in January and the Town Policy is to take one day every second month since they have then been earned by the employee. It has been the past practice of the Highway employees to take these days whenever they wanted to but this is against the Policy set up by the Town. Their contract is silent on this benefit and in Mr. Foster's opinion if they grieved on .it, they would lose it. He also felt that they should continue, this practice, pay the days and address it in their rieKt contract negotiations. Since the contract is sile t on this matter, it, was Mrs. Smith's opinion that they should abide by the Town Policy and the men should be docked; they, in turn, said they would put in a grievance if they were doc4ed. The Attorney to the Town was consulted and he advised t e Supervisor to test the eaters, let them grieve. MRS. VISCONTI moved they abide by the Town Policy of one day earned every two months resulting in six paid personal business days per year for all empl ,gees including the Highway Department. Seconded by Mrs. Smith Motion Unanimously Carried T� RM2 2 X92 An application was received from Edward DiPaolo, residing at 86 DeGarmo Hills Road in the Town of Wappinger, for a. Hawking and Peddling License to sell flowers. MRS. VISCONTI moved to approve the Peddling License for Mr. DiPaolo. Seconded. by Mr. Wallace Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from the Chelsea Fire Department indicating that a communication from members of the Fire Prevention Bureau representing the Chelsea Fire District revealed problems that both the-- and the Hughsonville Fire District were having with the names of similar roads in their adjoining districts, one in particular being "Old State Road". They proposed, if the Town considered it to be feasible, to change the name of this road which is in both districts, back to the original name of Reeve By Pass Road which, they felt, would help eliminate any snags which could cause a delay in answering fire alarms in that. area. Mrs. Smith noted that she had placed this on a work shop agenda for discussion. Mr. Foster pointed out that in the past when there was talk about changing names in the area of Pine Ridge Drive, there was a lot of opposition from the people living on the road because of the inconvenience of changing so many records. It was agreed that the Supervisor would notify the residents of Old State Road to get their feelings on the matter prior to the work shop, then they would know how much opposition the; were dealing with. There was no other business to come before the Board. MR. WALLACE moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mrs. Visconti and unanimously carried. The meeting adjourned at 7:55 P� a ' ne H .
