UNFINISHED BUSINESS 9. NEW BUSINESS r 10. ADJOURNMENT <;' ~: , J 76 The Regular Bimonthly Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on June 17, 1985 at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New York. Superisor Versace opened the Meeting at 8:00 P.M. Present: ~ Frank Versace, Supervisor Renata Ballard, Councilwoman Gerard McCluskey, Councilman Joseph Incoronato, Councilman Irene Paino, Councilwoman Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk The Meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of June3, 1985, having previously been forwarded to all Board Members, were now placed before them for their consideration. MRS. PAINO moved that the Minutes of the June 3, 1985 Meeting be and they are hereby approved, as submitted by the Town Clerk. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried IJ Reports were received for the month of May from the Town Justices, Receiver of Taxes, Fire Inspector, Building Inspector, Hydrant Report and the Supervisor/Comptroller Report thru February 28, 1985. MRS. PAINO moved to accept the above stated reports and place them on file. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried A request was received from Gary Lafko regarding an increase in rates for sludge removal in the amount of $20.25 per 1,000 gallons additional to the $69,75 per 1,000 gallons they are presently receiving under their contract with the Town. Mr. Versace added that Mr. Lafko discussed this matter with the lJ Board at a work shop session, explaining that there has been an increase in the fees at the sludge field in Pine Plains; the new regulations from the D.E.C. effective Junel, 1985 no longer allow the owner of the sludge field to lagoon the waste but require that he must landspread the waste, which results in a higher cost to him and this increase is passed on to his customers. This is happening not only to the Town of Wappinger, but to all municipalities. " . /1/ MR. VERSACE moved to award an additional $20.25 per 1,000 gallons to Lafko Pumping for the removal of sludge in the Town of Wappinger for the remainder of his contract with the Town. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mrs. Paino---Nay Mrs. Paino noted, prior to voting, that*four bids were received for sludge removal and at that time Lafko was the lowest at $69.75 per I 1,000 gallons; now that he was requesting a $20.25 per 1,000 gallon increase, this would bring him up to the highest bid that was received. The contract was awarded in September of 1984 and will terminate on September 30, 1985 and she would expect Lafko Pumping to honor the * Lafko Pumping, 69.75/1000 gal. Jones Septic, 87.50/1000 gal. bid amount. Losee Septic 90.00/1000 gal. M & 0 70.00/1000 gal. A copy of a letter from County Executive Lucille Patterson to Gordon Cameron, Executive Director of the New York State Bridge Authority was received by the Town Board; this was prompted by our request to that department requesting night illumination of the Mid-Hudson Bridge. Mrs. Patterson agreed that it was a good idea but felt there must be financial or other considerations which have prevented the Bridge Authority from taking this action previously. She requested I Mr. Cameron to send her a copy of his response to the Town. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to receive this communication and place it on file. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard Motion Unanimously Carried A request was received from Kenneth Franklin to become a member of the Town Conservation Advisory Council; he mentioned that he is interested in wildlife and their preservation and has seen the accomplishments of the Council. MR. INCORONATO moved to refer this matter to the Conservation Advisory Council for their recommendation of the appointment of Mr. Franklin to the Council. I Seconded by Mrs. Paino Roll Call Vote: 3 Ayes Mr. Versace---Nay, Mr. McCluskey---Nay Mr. Versace~oted that Mr. Franklin has attended several meetings of the C.A.C. and his request was written by the secretary to that Council; he was in favor of appointing Mr. Franklin to the Council at this meeting and did not feel it was necessary to have a formal l l L /1:L- recommendation from the Council. He added that it does not happen very often that a resident volunteers to become a member of a Town Council and it was evident he was interested in joining them. Two responses were received from Commissioner James Spratt, Dutchess County Department of Public Works, regarding elimination of the passing zone on Old Hopewell Road and reduction of the speed limit on Spook Hill Road. This Department has determined that they are following the guidelines set forth by the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law by allowing a passing zone on that road in the vicinity of Spook Hill Road; he recommends law enforcement procedures should be followed by the Town and proper agencies to assure highway safety. Mr. Spratt denied our request for a speed reduction on Spook Hill Road from 40 MPH to 30 MPH and attached a Memo from Peter Anagnos, Director of Engineering explaining reasons why this request was denied and recommending that additional warning signs be posted for all conditions on those areas of the road that are not otherwise posted, and widening and clearing of brush along the shoulders. MR. VERSACE moved to receive the communications and place them on file. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried Before going to Committee Reports, Mr. Versace recognized Sandra Goldberg, Wappinger County Legislator, who reported on the designa- tion of the Dutchess County Airport Balefill as a critical environ- mental area which, because of its past use, could have'the potential of having an environmental problem in the future. The Phase I Study has determined that there could be a problem, the next step, Phase II will determine if there is a problem and recommendations to rectify the problem. The results of the Phase II study will not be known for a few months. Mrs. Goldberg then invited questions from the public. Mr. McCluskey referred to the Department of Public Works changing their roads to numbers; he had no problem with this change, but objected to the names of the roads being eliminated on County maps. The residents are familiar with the names and he felt they could use both systems. He asked if the Legislature has considered this and if not, requested that they address this matter. . 113 Mr. Incoronato requested Mrs. Goldberg to obtain information on the <Status of the garbage to steam generators project. Mr. Versace had another item to discuss before going into Committee Reports. At the last work shop meeting the Town Board received a letter from the firm of Morris & Andros requesting to be relieved from their duties as the engineering firm for the Town of Wappinger. I They indicated that they will provide service to the Town until they are replaced and have requested that they be considered for future projects in the Town. MR. VERSACE moved to accept the resignation of Morris & Andros and authorize the Comptroller to advertise for an Engineer to the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Paino moved to authorize the Supervisor's Office to send notifi- cation to the municipalities in Southern Dutchess County asking if they would consider hiring and sharing a professional engineer on a contractual salary basis with the Town of Wappinger. Motion Failed for Lack of a Second ~ II Prior to the motion Mrs. Paino stated that the engineering costs over the past l! years have skyrocketed and if they can work out a plan with another municipality, the Town will realize a great savings. In the discussion that followed, the Supervisor felt the Board might consider this once the job description for an engineer to meet the needs of this Town was completed, however, the requirements for this position for our Town might not fit the needs for surrounding munici- palities. Mrs. Ballard added that it appeared all the engineering firms serving the municipalities in the southern part of the County were busy which indicated that we could use a full time engineer. Mr. McCluskey concurred with Mrs. Ballard adding that the monies being expended I now on engineering fees would probably be sufficient to pay a full time engineer; Mrs. Paino pointed out that they would have to be careful in their appointment of a Town Engineer or an Engineer to the Town since their duties differed. Mrs. Snowden informed the Board that a Town Engineer would be an official of the Town and would not be allowed to work on special projects such as WSI#l, or drainage projects and these would have to be contracted out to another firm. I?~ L Mr. Versace ended the discussion stating that they would wait for the completion of the job description, advertise for this position, and consider the avenue they would take at that time. Committee Reports--- Mrs. Ballard reported on a meeting she attended sponsored by the Dutchess County Task Force, as a member of that organization and as a representative of the Town of Wappinger, at the reguest of the Supervisor; those present included Dutchess County Officials and Town Officials. The meeting was in regard to New York City pumping 100 million gallons of water per day from the Hudson River at their pumping station in Chelsea. One of the points made was that it was very evident that the need for them to pump water from the Hudson is growing more critical each day because of the severe drought conditions in their reservoir areas, specifically the Catskill Reservoir and the Delaware River BAsin Reservoir; secondly, New York City residents are on Stage II of a water plan involving conservation and large fines are being imposed for violators of the water conservation program. This gallonage will not be pumped from the river until they reach Stage III when the New York State Department of Environmental Conser- vation and Department of Health issues a permit for them to proceed, however, prior to the issuance of the permit, a public hearing will be held on the Environment Impact Statement, probably in July. The main concern of Dutchess County Officials and Town Officials was the question of the salt front line moving north in the river which could affect water in the City and Town of Poughkeepsie, also wells in the Chelsea area along the river. It was pointed out that in 1966 and 1967 when this amount of water was pumped daily for eleven months, there was no movement of the salt line. The water will be tested after it is pumped, as well as the river water in the proximity of the Chelsea pumping station to trace the sale flow. Reports will be provided to Dutchess County, the City and Town of Poughkeepsie and the Town of Wappinger on a regular basis. Safety precautions will be taken for storage of chlorine, including safety masks for the workers and the Chelsea Fire District will be apprised of the situation. Mrs. Ballard added that the Officials were taken on a tour of the pumping station at the end of the meeting. She then answered questions posed by some of the Board Members regarding this meeting. l ~ /75 Mrs. Ballard---Safety on Roads, referred to previous requests we have forwarded to the New York State Department of Transportation regarding left turn phases on the signal operation at Route 9 and Myers Corners Road and Old Hopewell Road, also a traffic light at Rt. 376 with its intersection at Robinson Lane/Lake Walton Road. A recent communication from Mr. Mignogna, Regional Traffic Engineer with that department informed the Board that a field study has been I conducted at Route 9 and Old Hopewell Road and at the Route 376 intersection and a subsequent determination will be forthcoming, however, no mention was made relating to the left turn phase at Route 9 and Myers Corners Road. MRS. BALLARD moved to direct a letter to Mr. Mignogna requesting the status of our request for left turn phase on the traffic signal at Route 9 and Myers Corners Road. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Ballard reported that she had received several complaints relating to the malfunctioning of the traffic light at the inter- section of All Angels Hill Road and Myers Corners Road. After I contacting the County she learned that the signal is a complicated one and the contractor who repairs the mechanism is located a distance away and for this reason it takes longer to repair than the normal signals. The County is planning to rectify this situation. Mrs. Paino interjected that she, too, had received complaints over the past few weeks and when she contacted the Commissioner of Public Works she was also told that there was noone in the area who has the expertise to repair the signal, however he plans to have his personnel take instructions on the repair so they will be knowledgeable of the repair technique in the future. Mrs. Ballard continued her reports on safety on the roads and requested a "Children at Play" sign be placed on Hilltop Drive. d I11III The original request was received from Marshall Ballard who felt that the Town Board granted these signs to other roads, why not Hilltop Drive. MRS. BALLARD moved to request the Highway Department to place a Children at Play sign on Hilltop Drive in the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried L l L /7b The next item Mrs. Ballard referred to was the fact that the County had recently acquired the railroad property east of Route 376 and observed that the two railroad bridges were in a terrible condition and covered with graffetti. MRS. BALLARD moved to direct a letter to Mr. Spratt, Commissioner of Dutchess County Department of Public Works, requesting that the County paint these bridges to improve their appearance. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Ballard, Recreation---reported on meeting held last Wednesday night at the Chelsea Fire House to discuss their requests in relation to the use of the Chelsea School House for the Recreation Commission's Summer Playground Program. There is a question involving the additional fencing they have requested. The Fire Commissioners have had a phone line installed at their expense in the Chelsea School House and the Town will install a phone for the use of the summer program as well as the times this location is used as a Town Polling Place. Elections---The Chelsea School House will require a ramp for easy accessibility for the handicapped, which was also discussed at this meeting. The Fire Commissioners have agreed to the installation of a permanent cement ramp at that location. The estimate received for this work from Mr. Hammond is $379.00 for the cement ramp and $97.00 for asphalt at the bottom of the ramp for smooth and safe entry. The Comptroller has informed her that there is adequate monies available for this expenditure from Federal Revenue Funds allocated to Arts and Crafts for Senior Citizens which is not usually expended in its entirety. Mr. Fruscanti, from the Knights of Columbus on Route 82, has given permission for the Town to place asphalt at their entrance for easy accessibility for the handicapped. Mr. McCluskey asked if a price was obtained on a temporary ramp for the Chelsea School House and Mrs. Ballard replied that the cost given for a temporary wooden ramp was $346.00. Mrs. Ballard, Building---updates on the construction of the new Town Hall were received dated May 6 and May 11, 1985. Today the Town Board received a Change Order from Hayward and Pakan regarding the ducts for heating and airconditioning the vault; the change involved a credit of $81.35 to the Town. MRS. BALLARD moved to accept the Change Order and credit of $81.35 , /11 and authorize the Supervisor to sign the Change Order. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Paino, Landfill Committee---attended Public Hearing on June 10, 1985 regarding the designation of the Dutchess County Airport Balefill as a critical environmental area. MRS. PAINO moved to forward a letter to Dutchess County Legislature Ann Loedy, Chairman of the Environmental Committee, stating that the Town Board supports their designation and indicating that the County have the Phase II Engineering Study as expeditiously as possible and the required remedial measures are taken, if it is deemed necessary. Seconded by Mrs. Ballard - Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. paino's next item related to increases of insurance rates on tort liability and she referred to a meeting held by Supervisor Virtue of the Town of East Fishkill on this subject. The Town Board recently adopted a resolution on the reduction of tort liability and Mrs. Paino recommended that this resolution be forwarded to East Fishkill. MRS. PAINO moved to forward a copy of this resolution to Supervisor Wesley Virtue of the Town of East Fishkill and request that he forward copies of any resolutions on this subject that East Fishkill may have to offer, to the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey I Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Incoronato gave an update on the sludge removal problem. He had checked with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in New Paltz onthe status of our application for an interim license for the removal of sludge in the Fleetwood and Rockingham plants and learned that we had received approval for this removal from both locations. This should start within a few days, however, there is a problem with the copper formation in the sludge caused by copper being peeled off from the lines. The report on this matter, prepared by Morris & Andros has been forwarded to Mr. Michael O'Toole in the Albany office of the D.E.C. Mr. Incoronato requested the Engineer to have his firm keep in constant touch with Mr. O'Toole for his recommendations on procedures to follow on the removal of this copper, from the sludge. I l l l '/7f Mr. McClusKey noted that he had also called Dutchess County Public Works regarding the malfunctioning of the light at All Angels Hill Road and Myers Corners Road and at that time they were not aware of any problem. He pointed out that there are malfunctions with other lights in the Town and too often people assume that this has been reported. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to contact the Superintenden~ of the Wappinger Central School District to notify their bus drivers that if they do notice a traffic signal not operating properly, would they please o us the service of reporting it to the Town so the proper agencies will be alerted and have it repaired. Seconded by Mr.Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Resolutions--- An application for a Special Use Permit from John Montfort, on behalf of Jomo Realty Corp. to fill in the Lands of Montfort, had been tabled from the previous meeting pending review by the Engineer. At this time Mr. Evangelista reported that he had been unable to contact the applicant's Engineer to discuss questions our Engineer had on the application. MR. VERSACE moved to table action on this matter to the July 1st, 1985 meeting. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried A Public Hearing having been held by the Town Board on June 17, 1985 on Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, the matter was placed before them for their consideration.

Seconded by: Councilwoman Ballard Roll Call Vote: 3 Ayes Mrs. Paino---Nay, Mr. McCluskey---Nay ~ Unfinished Business--- At the April 1st, 1985 Town Board Meeting, residents on Old Hopewell Road were present to express concern on sewage pollution on their property emitting from the Wappinger Park Development. The Town Board directed that a letter be forwarded to the Dutchess County Department of Health requesting that they investigate these complaints received from Kowalsky, Deppe and Caccamo residing on Old Hopewell Road. When their report was received, the Engineer to the Town would then visit the site to determine if the Town could help to relieve the problem. In the letter to the Health Department, we requested them to respond within thirty days; no response has been received. Mr. Versace requested that a second correspondence be forwarded to the County inquiring the status of this matter. Mr. Versace referred to correspondence received by the Attorney from the principals of the Pondview Subdivision concerning the fact that they do not intend to build on some of their remaining parcels at this time and have requested the Town to accept the present roads when they are in compliance with our road specifica- tions. It has been a long standing Town Policy not to accept roads until the subdivision is complete, however, in the meantime the residents living in that subdivision are without service to their roads. The Highway Superintendent has .indicated that he will not L ~-~--_._-~-~---~---------._~..._.._-_. -_.~_._~- , 1~5 recommend acceptance of these roads because of the undeveloped lots. Mr. Versace recommended that a work shop meeting be set for July 11, 1985 at 7:30 P.M. with the Attorney, the Highway Superintendent and the Attorney for the principals of the pondview Subdivision to discuss this situation. He requested Mr. Kessler to contact the Attorney for pondview and inform him of the work shop date that I has been set. Mr. Incoronato had requested the Attorney at the last meeting, to check into the legality of mandating removal of billboards located on Route 9D in the vicinity of the Montclair Apartments, if they were put up before the new Zoning Ordinance was adopted. It was his interpretation that all signs had to conform with the Ordinance or had to be removed within three years of the adoption of the Ordinance (March 10, 1980). The Attorney responded that he had notified the Zoning Administrator of this and other matters referred at the June 3, 1985 meeting and he has not had a report from her to this date. Another item Mr. Incoronato brought up was our request to the New I York State Department of Transportation for a traffic signal at the intersection of Route 9D with Chelsea Road and Baxtertown Road. We have had no communication from that department since December of 1984 and a letter was forwarded to Mr. Mignogna on June 10, 1985 inquiring the status of this request. We have had no response to this communication. There was no other business to come before the Board. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mr. Incoronato and unanimously carried. The Meeting adjourned at 10 P.M. ~~~ Elaine H. Snowden Town Clerk I Reg. Mtg. 6/17/85
