ADJOURNMENT The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on January 10, 1983 at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York. Supervisor Diehl opened the meeting at 8:03 P.M. Present: Louis Diehl, Supervisor Nicholas Johnson, Councilman Gerard McCluskey, Councilman Bernice Mills, Councilman Frank Versace, Councilman Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk Others Present: Jon Holden Adams, Attorney All stood for the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of December 13, 1982 and the Special Meeting of December 27, 1982, having previously been sent to all Board Members, were now placed before them for their consideration. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of December 13, 1983 and the Special Meeting of December 27, 1982, be and they are hereby approved, as submitted by the Town Clerk. Seconded by Mr. Johnson Reports for the month of December were received from the Town Justices, Receiver of Taxes, Hydrant Report, Comptroller/Supervisor Report through November 30, 1982 and the Annual Report from the Town Historian. The Board Members had not received the Comptroller/Supervisor Report through November 30, 1982. MR. JOHNSON moved to accept the reports, with the exception of the Comptroller/Supervisor Report through November, 1982, and place them on file. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried The first item on the agenda was a report from Mr. Lapar on a Drainage Study by Cornell University which had been requested by the Board at a previous meeting. Mr. Lapar was not present and the Board tabled this matter pending his arrival. In response to our request, a report was received from the Dutchess County Department of Public Works on a traffic count taken on CR 93, Myers Corners Road and several intersecting roads between Kent Road and CR 94, All Angels Road. Mr. McCluskey commented that there had not been a significant change in the traffic pattern from June of 1982 through October of 1982. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to receive this report and place it on file. Seconded by Mr. Johnson Motion Unanimously Carried A Negative Declaration under SEQR was received from the Depart- ment of Aviation regarding the topping and/or removal of trees on the approach slope to Runway 6. Mr. McCluskey, liaison member of the Town Board on the Airport Committee, informed the Board that he intended to acquire further information on this matter at a meeting with the Commissioner of Aviation on January 19, 1983 at 3:30 P.M. and would bane h report at the next meeting. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to receive this notice and place it on file. Seconded by Mr. Johnson Motion Unanimously Carried A letter from William Sanford, Executive Secretary of the Association of Towns to Amelia Crosby requesting that she act as Presiding Officer at a group session of the Tax Collectors on February 22, 1983 in New York. Since Mrs. Crosby intended to resign from her position in the near future, the Board felt she should not accept this invitation and requested that she inform Mr. Sanford of this action. A communication was received from the Planning Board advising the Town Board that they had appointed James Mills, Jr. as Vice -Chairman of that Board. MR. JOHNSON moved to receive this communication and place it on file. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried Applications were received from Keith Dubetsky, Robert MacDowell and Fedeli Galioto for the proposed position of paid Fire Inspector for the Town of Wappinger. MRS. MILLS moved that these applications be referred to the Personnel Committee for their review and further discussion with the full Board at a work shop session. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Versace commented, before the vote was taken on this motion that these applications should also be referred to the Fire Prevention Bureau and Mr. Johnson, Chairman of the Personnel Committee responded that it was the intent of the Committee to meet with the Fire Prevention Bureau and the Fire Chiefs and the Town Board to thoroughly discuss this position and meet the three applicants. A response was received from Howard Erichsen, General Manager of U. S. Cablevision regarding our objection to the rate increase of HBO. The increase was due to rising costs, he explained, and at the time of the negotiations for the renewal of the franchise, it was neither planned nor contemplated. Two letters were received from residents who were dissatisfied with the sports package offered by the cable company, one from Mark Liebermann on Hopewell Road and the other was from Bill Hald, a member of the Town Cable Committee. Mr. Versace requested that Mr. Hald's letter be read. 14 Split Tree Drive Wappingers Falls, N.Y. 12590 December 18, 1982 Mr. Howard Erichsen U.S. Cablevision Corp. Box 231 Beacon, N.Y. 12508 Dear Howard: I wish to document U.S. Cablevision's attitude of "may the public be damned" since the recent renewal of the Town of Wappinger cable television franchise. Not only has there been no progress toward the acquisition of Sports Channel and the Madison Square Garden sports package but events being televised by ESPN and USA from Madison Square Garden, the Meadowlands and the Nassau Coliseum are being blacked out by U. S. Cablevision to local subscribers. The Town Cablevision Committee was never formally notified of this policy which is supposedly done at the request of the NBA and the NHL. However U. S. Cablevision's sister affiliate of Colony Communications in Stoneham, Mass. doesn't black out events from the Boston Garden carried by USA and ESPN. Stoneham is much closer to Boston than Beacon is to New York City, East Rutherford, New Jersey or Uniondale, Long Island. Colony's policy seems quite inconsistent. It appears that the spirit of cooperation that was shown the Cablevision committee was simply a ploy on your part for Cablevision Committee support of the franchise renewal. If this black out policy continues, I will request that the Cablevision Committee request that the Wappinger Town Board look into the possibility of voiding the franchise agreement. us. The members of the committee feel that you have betrayed s/ Bill Hald MR. JOHNSON moved that Mr. Erichsen be invited to attend the Town Board work shop session, along with the Town Cable Committee, on January 24, 1983 at 9:30 P.M. to discuss the complaints received on the sports package. Seconded by Mrs. Mills Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from the Planning Board regarding abandoned railroad property, Consolidated Rail Corporation, Maybrook Branch, Maybrook, Hopewell Junction, 35.1+ Miles, Dutchess, Orange and Ulster Counties, and recommending against the Town bidding on the properties located in the Town of Wappinger. It was their opinion that these areas have no real use or value to the Town. MR. JOHNSON moved that a letter be directed to the New York State Department of Transportation informing them that the Town of Wappinger is not interested in bidding on these properties, based upon the recommendation of the Planning Board. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from D'Arcangelo & Co, Certified Public Accountants for the Poughkeepsie-Wappinger-LaGrange Joint Landfill Project giving S. breakdown of the estimated budget for 1983 and requesting remittance of the Town of Wappinger share in the amount of $2,814.72. Mrs. Mills had discussed this with the Comptroller since the letter was stamped "2nd Request" and he had indicated that he was waiting for an invoice from the accountant and the letter stated that these figures were for an "estimated budget". MR. JOHNSON moved that this letter be received and placed on file and the Comptroller be notified to make the payment of $2,814.72, for the Town of Wappinger share of the Joint Landfill Project for 1983. Seconded by Mrs. Mills Motion Unanimously Carried A letter regarding a Special Use Permit Application for a Mobile Home Park on Robinson Lane was received from Mr. Gunderud which enclosed a letter from David Bersak and Donn Courselle on the application for the construction of a 49 dwelling unit on Robinson Lane. Mr. David Bersak was present to speak to the Board regarding this application and noted that Mr. Halley, Attorney for the project and Mrs. Stozal, principal and co -developer of the project were also present. He requested that the Board consider referring this application to the Planning Board for conceptual approval. At this time they were not seeking a special use permit. It was Mr. Versace's opinion that if the Town Board referred this application to the Planning Board for conceptual approval, it would indicate that they would consider approving a special use permit, and this was not his intent. MR. VERSACE moved that the request for referral of the application for a Mobile Home Park to the Planning Board be denied. Seconded by Mr. Diehl Motion Unanimously Carried It was so noted that a similiar request had been received in 1982, and after informal review had been denied by the Town Board. The following letter was received from Supervisor Diehl: January 7, 1983 Town Clerk Elaine Snowden Town Hall -Mill Street Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 Dear Elaine: I will present a motion at the Regular Town Board Meeting January 10, 1983 directing the Attorney to the Town after consultation with the Comptroller and after receiving opinions from the New York State Department of Audit & Control, to draw up necessary resolution for action by the Town Board at its February Meeting, in order to transfer the full amount of Mortgage Tax Revenue which exceeded 1982 estimated revenue from Part Town to Full Town account and that all interest accrued from date of investment of these funds be credited to Full Town account, which included the whole Town Village and Town Outside Village. I will further move that the Attorney to the Town present to the Town Board at the earliest possible date necessary resolutions to transfer estimated Mortgage Revenue Tax monies from the 1983 Part Town Budget to Full Town 1983 Budget and that the attorney do this only after obtaining direction from Audit & Control as to the proper procedure. Very truly yours, s/ Louis Diehl, Supervisor Town of Wappinger MR. DIEHL moved to authorize the attorney to prepare the necessary resolution to transfer the full amount of the Mortgage Tax Revenue as stated in his letter to Mrs. Snowden dated January 7, 1983. Seconded by Mr. Versace Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Ballard, being recognized by the Chair, asked when they would know what they were doing with this money and where it was now. Mr. Diehl replied that as soon as the Attorney had a response from Audit and Control they would determine this and it was now in an interest bearing account. Under Committee Reports, Mrs. Mills, Water and Sewer Committee, met with Camo Pollution Control to discuss water meters and arranged to have two water meter companies present at the next work shop session on January 24, 1983. The Neptune Meter Company would meet with them at 7:15 P.M. and Rockwell Meter Company at 8:00 P.M. on that night to discuss what they were offering to the Town on water meters with outdoor readings. 1 Mrs. Mills reported that she had visited the home of Ed Llewellyn, 79 Kent Road after receiving a complaint from him on cars over- turning on his property which he claimed was due to the condition of the shoulders in front of his property. Pictures of some of these accidents were displayed, one of which showed a completely overturned car on Mr. Llewellyn's property that had occurred very recently. Mrs. Mills recommended that a letter be directed to Mr. Croshier requesting that he inspect the area and recommend a possible solution to the problem. Mr. Versace had also received this complaint and visited the area. He commented that it has always been a problem area and agreed with Mrs. Mills that Mr. Croshier should recommend a possible solution. ,MAS. MILLS moved that a letter be directed to Mr. Croshier requesting that he investigate Mr. Llewellyn's complaint and recommend a possible solution to this problem. Seconded by Mr. Versace Mtion Unanimously Carried The following proposed Local Law was introduced by COUNCILWOMAR MILLS: A Local Law Providing for Credits to Customers Within the Wildwood Sewer District. BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York, as follows: Section One: Each customer within the Wildwood Sewer District shall receive for each billing quarter during 1983 for which a current quarterly charge is then due, a credit equal to the quarterly operation and maintenance charge then payable. Section Two: This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to the first day of the first billing quarter of 1983. The following resolution was offered by COUNCILWOMAN MILLS who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, there has been duly presented and introduced at a meeting of this Town Board on the 10th day of January, 1983, a proposed local law providing for credits to customers within the Wildwood Sewer District, and WHEREAS, the provisions of the Municipal Home Rule Law requires that no local law shall be passed by the Legislative Body of the Town until a Public Hearing thereon has been held before such body, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, 1. That a Public Hearing shall be held on the said proposed Local Law by the Town Board of the_Town of Wappinger on the 24th day of January 1983 at 6:50 P.M. EST on such day at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York. 2. That at least five (5) days notice of such hearing shall be given by the Town Clerk of the Town of Wappinger, by the due posting thereof upon the bulletin board maintained by said Town Clerk in the Town Hall and by publishing such notice at least once in the official newspaper of the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by: Councilman Johnson Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays Mrs. Mills explained that there was a substantial surplus in the Wildwood Sewer District and that was the reason for the proposed Local Law. Mr. Diehl questioned the Water and Sewer Committee on the status of those homes in the water and swwer districts, more specifically, the Cedar Hill Area, that were not serviced with these facilities. Mr. Lapar had arrived at the meeting and informed the Board that cost estimates on these projects had been submitted several months ago and the next step would be to go to bid. Discussion followed on project and contact the monies from session was Engineer to the information that was required to implement this it was agreed that the attorney be instructed to bonding company to research the availability of previous bonding of these projects. A work shop set for February 9, 1983 with the Attorney and the discuss the information submitted by them. MR. Johnson reported on a work shop session with the Fire Prevention Bureau at which time they were requested to submit a list of businesses in the Town that would require fire inspections. The list had been received and a second meeting was now needed with members of the Fire Prevention Bureau and Fire Companies to discuss the need and type of need for fire inspections asked to arrange this meeting. A prehearing conference was held by the Public and Mr. Diehl was Service Commission in Cooperstown, New York, regarding the 345K transmission lines and attended by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Adams. Mr. Johnson noted that there was a good participation of people with wide ranging interests opposing these lines and the basis for their objection was that there was no need for these lines in this area --the benefit would be to New York City, Westchester and Long Island. He further stated that although we had received letters from officials of the state opposing these lines our own representatives had not taken a stand on this matter. MR. JOHNSON moved that a letter be directed to Senator Rolison and Assemblyman Saland requesting their opinion on the 345K transmission lines proposed by PASNY. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey W Motion Unanimously Carried A third report from Mr. Johnson referenced a letter received from James Spratt, Dutchess County Commissioner of Public Works, regarding our request for a 25 MPH speed limit on Losee Road. A review made by his department indicated that the conditions warranted a reduction and a recommendation of 30 MPH was forwarded to the state for their final approval. /7' Mr. Johnson's last item was in regard to a request from Mr. Croshier at the last work shop session for a paver, 3 trucks and 3 sanders. At that time the Board requested additional information from Mr. Croshier which had not been received. According to Mr. Johnson this information was available and he felt they should consider going to bid for this equipment. Mr. Johnson moved that the Highway Superintendent be authorized to go to bid for the equipment he requested. This motion prompted further comments from the Board. Mr. McCluskey recommended that rather than one bid, three separate bids be let out. Mrs. Mills did not feel that they were ready to go to bid since further discussion was needed on the necessity for all of the equipment and the possibility of a program whereby money could be set aside in a fund and the equipment purchased as the money became available. Mr. Versace's concern was the size of the paver actually needed and he agreed that further discussion was needed before they considered going to bid. Mr. Diehl said there was a definite need for the trucks but he, too had concern on the size of the paver they should be considering. In view of these comments Mr. Johnson rescinded his motion and requested that a letter be directed to Mr. Croshier requesting information on the cost of paving over the last two years with an outside contractor and the cost of the paver he had requested to purchase. In regard to the Negative Declaration received from the Department of Aviation on the topping and/or removal of trees, Runway 6 at the Dutchess County Airport, Mr. McCluskey informed the Board that he would contact Commissioner Whited's office for further information. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that a letter be directed to the Department of Aviation stating that the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger would appreciate the courtesy of their deferring action in this matter until such time as the liaison member of the Town Board has the opportunity to acquire more details on the proposed project. Seconded by Mrs. Mills Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. McCluskey's next report was on the traffic light at Route 9 and Myers Corners Road which is frequently out of order at rush hour times. When this occurs a flashing light controls the traffic in all four directions which presents a dangerous situation. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that a letter be directed to the New York State Department of Transportation recommending that the mechanism be replaced with new instruments if it cannot- be repaired. Seconded by Mr. Johnson 1` Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. McCluskey recommended that another request for a lower speed limit on New Hackensack Road be forwarded to the County since no response had been received on a previous request. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved that another request for a 35 MPH speed limit on New Hackensack Road be forwarded to the Dutchess County Department of Public Works and the New York State Department of Transportation and a letter be directed to the Dutchess County Department of Public Works requesting completion of the shoulders on New Hackensack Road. Seconded by Mr. Johnson Motion Unanimously Carried The Building Committee and the full Board were still working on the possibility of a new Town Hall and had toured two buildings, one in New Windsor and one in Newburgh. Mr. McCluskey noted that the people were very helpful and offered suggestions one of which was to put in a finished basement for storage purposes. At this time he was looking into the present square footage being utilized by each department and the space they felt would be required in a new building. Item 5a, a report from Mr. Lapar on a Drainage Study by Cornell University, which had been tabled pending Mr. Lapar's arrival, was now addressed by the Board. At the December meeting, Gerry Webb, a member of the Wappinger Conservation Advisory Council, had submitted a report that had been previous- ly requested by the Board, giving detailed information on a Drainage Study to be conducted by students from Cornell University. This report had been referred to the Engineer for review and recommendation to the Board. Mr. Lapar had originally requested that a map be prepared by the University indicating the work they intended to do. In his December 17, 1982 report he repeated this request ---a map should be prepared by the university delineating the areas to be studied and their order of preference in case monies were not available to com- plete the project. By doing this, the Town Board could see what they were paying for and the work would not be a duplica- tion of a Phase I Drainage Study that had been done by Mr. Lapar's office. MR. JOHNSON moved that Mr. Lapar's report of December 19, 1982 and the report from Cornell University dated December 9, 1982, be received and placed on file. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from Ian MacDonald, attorney from the office of the Dutchess County Attorney , enclosing a draft of the 1983 Dial -a -Ride Agreement with Dutchess County, for approval by the Town Board. MR. VERSACE moved to approve the 1983 Dial -a -Ride Agreement with Dutchess County, for an amount not to exceed $7,156.00, ($156.00 budget modification to be taken from Federal Revenue Sharing Funds), and authorize the Supervisor to sign said contract, covering the period beginning January 1, 1983 through December 31, 1983. Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried An Agreement between the Town of Wappinger and the Little League Association was submitted to the Town Board for their consideration. The following Agreement was offered by COUNCILMAN VERSACE who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the town wishes to contract with the Little League for the providing of services hereinafter defined, and WHEREAS, the Little League is willing to provide said services in exchange for consideration hereinafter defined, NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed between the parties as follows: 1.

Seconded by: Councilman Johnson Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays The bids for Sludge Removal were placed before the Board for their consideration having been tabled at the November meeting until a decision on a closer site was received from the Dutchess County Department of Health. The following resolution was offered by COUNCILWOMAN MILLS who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the town has previously solicited bids for the removal of sludge from various waste treatment facilities within the district, and WHEREAS, said bids were subsequently received, opened and reviewed by the Town board, and WHEREAS, an analysis of said bids reveals that the same are excessive in price and fail to reflect the prevailing costs of sludge disposal given the continuing availability of local sludge disposal sites, and WHEREAS, it will be in the public interest to reject all bids and to cause readvertisement and resolicitation for bids for sludge removal, NOW, BE IT RESOLVED that all bids received for the removal of sludge from the various waste treatment plants within the Town of Wappinger be rejected for the reasons above stated, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Comptroller of the Town cause said services to be rebid immediately.

Seconded by Mr. McCluskey Motion Unanimously Carried The following letter was received from Supervisor Diehl: January 6, 1983 Town Clerk Elaine Snowden Concerned Town Board Members Town Hall -Mill Street Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 SUBJECT: Invitation to Supervisor Louis Diehl to attend Wappingers Day at Boca Raton, Florida, February 27, 1983 which consists of over 100 former and/or present homeowners in Wappinger (part having summer homes in Wappinger/winter homes in Florida). Dear Town Clerk and Town Board Members: I wish to thank those members of the Town Board who voted to pay the Sppervisor's expense to Florida, upon my request and I certainly believe the intention was sincere and payment legal. I respectfully request the concerned members of the board to consider rescinding the motion to pay my expenses to this Annual Wappinger Day Meeting. I do believe a peer of jurors would legally justify such an expense paid trip and meeting. However, due to adverse questionable criticism gives justification to recind the motion. This will not prevent my attendance at the Annual Wappinger Day Meeting in Florida, as I will personally pay my expenses, attend and proudly present a key from the Town of Wappinger to the Florida group. I shall be away from my desk approximately one week. This is the first time in sixteen (16) years I have taken a vacation away from Wappinger, although I, by Town Policy should be entitled up to approximately forty (40) weeks vacation time, never used. The reason for this is, I love my work, love our Town, so why leave when the Town of Wappinger and Hudson Valley has as much or more beauty and excitement than any part of America. Very truly yours, s/ Louis Diehl, Supervisor MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to rescind a previous motion to allow Supervisor Diehl to attend Wappingers Day at Boca Raton, Florida, February 27, 1983, at Town expense. Seconded by Mrs. Mills Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Versace asked the Attorney the status of the Mocassin Hill roads and Mr. Adams replied that the developer agreed to put up the escrow money to assure completion of the roads but he had not received the road guarantee bond. Mr. Versace had the same question on Spring Hill and was told by the Attorney he was waiting for necessary documents. MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mr. Johnson and unanimously carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:34 P.M. Reg. Mtg. 1/10/83 OUAAk 20,4'1,Jc10-. Elaine H. Snowden Town Clerk
