1982-04-26 SPMA Special Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
was held on April 26th, 1982 at the Town Hall, Mill Street,
Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York.
Supervisor Diehl opened the meeting at 7:20 P.M.
Present:
Louis Diehl, Supervisor
Gerard McCluskey, Councilman
Bernice Mills, Councilwoman
Frank Versace, Councilman
Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
Absent:
Nicholas Johnson, Councilman
Notice of said meeting had been sent to all Board Members on
April 22, 1982, calling the meeting for April 26th, 1982 at
7:00 P.M. at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New
York. Notices were also sent to the three newspapers and four
radio stations and posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board.
The purpose of the meeting was to review action to be taken with
respect to submitting an application to DEC for water distribution
in Cranberry Water Improvement District, and initiating steps for
renegotiating the Cablevision agreement.
The Attorney had forwarded a resolution to the Town Board for
their consideration in the matter of the Cranberry Hills Water
Improvement Area.
The following resolution was offered by COUNCILWOMAN MILLS
who moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, upon the request of the Supervisor of the Town of
Wappinger, a special meeting of the Town Board has been duly
convened after appropriate notice toeach board member and
compliance with the Open Meetings Law, and
WHEREAS, the office of the attorney to the town has
recommended that the town submit to the Department of Environmental
Conservation an application for the purpose of obtaining permission
for distribution only of water within the Cranberry Hills Water
Improvement Area, said recommendation being made after discussions
between him and representatives of the Attorney General of the State
of New York,
NOW, BE IT RESOLVED that the attorney to the town and/or the
engineer to the town be and is authorized to make such application as
is necessary to the Department of Environmental Conservation for the
sole purpose of obtaining rights of the Cranberry Hills Water
Improvement Area to distribute water within the confines of
that district.
Seconded by: Councilman McCluskey
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes 0 Nays
Before the vote was taken, there was discussion on the resolution.
Mrs. Mills was confused as to what they were actually acting on
and Mr. Diehl admitted that he, too, was confused when he read
it and had called the Attorney for clarification. It had been
formerly stated at public hearings and meetings that the Town has
the right to distribute water within the Cranberry Area, however,
it has never been established by Town Board resolution and that
was the purpose of this resolution. It could still mean that
Atlas Water Company would provide the water, but the Town would
distribute the lines and the water within the district. Mr. Adams
stated in his letter to the Board that submission of litigation by
all parties involved including Atlas Water Company have been deferred,
but he recommended that the Board pass this resolution to authorize
submission of an application for this distribution. The Cranberry
Hills Water Improvement Area has already been established by the
Town Board; this was a different matter. The vote was then taken.
in the matter of the renewal of the Cablevision Franchise by
U. S. Cablevision Co., there were questions and problems related
to this renewal, and Mr. Adams recommended that the Town designate
a negotiating team and set a date for its firtt meeting with a
further recommendation of proceeding promptly in this matter.
Mr. Cortellino, Chairman of the CATV Committee, could not be
present at the meeting, but had contacted Mrs. Snowden with his
recommendations. Three members of the CATV Committee were named --
Charles Cortellino, Dr. Robert Ballard and William Hald, two
members from the Town Board (Mrs. Mills and Mr. Versace volunteered
to serve on this team) and Jon Holden Adams as the Attorney. The
Board felt that Mr. Cortellino should chair this team.
MR. DIEHL moved that the following persons be appointed to the
Negotiating Team for renewal of the Cablevision Franchise with
U. S. Cablevision Company: Charles Cortellino, Chairman, Dr.
Robert Ballard, William Hald, Bernice Mills, Frank Versace and
Attorney Jon Holden Adams, and the first meeting be set for
46,
May 17, 1982 at 7:30 P.M. at the Town Hall, Mill Street,
Wappingers Falls, New York,
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
and the members be so notified.
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. McCluskey then brought up a letter from Mr. Adams stating
that the application for renewal of the franchise from the cable
company was unacceptable in the form it was submitted.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that the Town Clerk inform Mr. Adams to notify
the cable company that their application for renewal of the cable
franchise was faulty and not acceptable as per the law.
Seconded by Mr. Diehl
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. McCluskey brought up a matter concerning a request from
Mrs. Emmet on Middlebush Road for consideration by the Board
of her leasing or buying Town property on that road from one to
five acres; he did not have all the particulars in his possesion
but said he would mention it at the special meeting. He would
contact her and ask for a letter to the Town Board giving complete
information and Mr. Diehl said they would address it at the next
regular meeting of the Board.
MRS. MILLS moved to close the Special Meeting, seconded by
Mr. McCluskey and unanimously carried.
The meeting closed at 7:35 P.M.

A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of
Wappinger on April 26, 1982 at the Town Hall, Mill Street,
Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York on
an Ordinance Amending the Ordinance Regulating Peddling and
Hawking, to increase the annual permit fee from $35.00 to
$150.00.
Supervisor Diehl opened the Hearing at 6:55 P.M.
Present:
Louis Diehl, Supervisor
Gerard McCluskey, Councilman
Bernice Mills, Councilwoman
Frank Versace, Councilman
Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
The Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavits of Posting
and Publication duly signed and notarized.
These Affidavits are
attached hereto and made part thereof of the minutes of this
Hearing.
Supervisor Diehl asked for comments from the public.
Gary Ferrero, Cameli Drive, does ice cream vending through
the streets of Wappinger, Beacon and Poughkeepsie felt that if
this Town raised the fee to $150.00, the neighboring towns would
do it also, there will be no way to hold it down and he would be
out of business. The Beacon fee is $25.00, the same in Poughkeepsie.
Since he lives in the Village he is exempt from fees. Does not
mind paying as long as it is reasonable. When asked why he felt
it was unreasonable, he replied that his work was seasonal. He
mentioned the expenses he had doing this business.
Mrs. Mills brought up the fact that there are business people
paying rent and taxes and trying to survive. Their complaints
prompted this action
away.
Mr. McCluskey added his comments
since the trucks
were taking their
business
itemizing the expenses that
business people have and they have no choice in the matter.
The Town has to give them some protection.
Mr. Versace pointed out that the Town was notitrying to put
the vendors out of business but some of them had caused friction
with the local business people and were not observing the require-
ment that they move their trucks every half hour and this was one
of the reasons this action of increasing the fee had been initiated.
Mr. Ferrero felt the raise was exhorbitant and should be increased
maybe another $10.00. He couldn't understand what the money had
to do with it since if you wanted to stay in business you would
pay it.
Mrs. Mills moved to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Mr.
McCluskey•and unanimously carried.
The Hearing closed at 7:17 P.M.
