Re: Town of Wappinger
File # 12951.0001
Dear AI,
In response to your letter to me dated January 28, please be advised as follows:
The comprehensive general liability policy currently in force for the Town ofWappingers
would respond to litigation brought against the Town for bodily injury or property
damage to a third party which is a result of the Town's negligence. If the summons and
complaint alleges negligence, the liability policy would also respond and provide defense
on behalf of the Town.
This insuring agreement includes the Greenway Trails that traverse Town property.
P ease contact me if I can be of further assistance.
J ck Peiuse, ere
Vice President
