The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
was held on December 8, 1980, at the Town Hall, Mill Street,
Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York.
Supervisor Diehl opened the meeting at 8:00 P.M.
Present:
Louis Diehl, Supervisor
Nicholas Johnson, Councilman
Bernice Mills, Councilwoman
Janet Reilly, Councilwoman
Frank Versace, Councilman
Others Present:
Jon Holden Adams, Attorney
Rudolph Lapar, Engineer
Supervisor Diehl requested that the public stand and pledge
allegiance to the Flag.
All stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance to the American;glag.
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of November 10, 1980, and the
Special Meetings of November 17th and 26th, 1980, having previously
been sent to the Board Members, were now placed before them for
their consideration.
Mrs. Mills wished to amend her motion made at the November 17th
meeting regarding attendance of employees at various conferences
during the year. At the time the motion was made and adopted,
the wording prohibited employees from attending such conferences,
stating that department heads, members of the Planning and Zoning
Boards, members of the Conservation Advisory Council and the
Recreation Commission, in addition to elected officials, would be
allowed to attend. Mrs. Mill's understanding of her motion was
that employees would be allowed to go if the department heads
felt it would be beneficial to them and they would also need the
Town Board's approval. Mrs. Snowden then stated that the motion
was recorded as written, and if they wanted to amend the motion,
it could be done later in the Agenda under "Resolutions".
MR. JOHNSON moved that the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of
November 10, 1980, and the Special Meetings of November 17th and
November 26th, 1980, be and they are hereby approved as submitted
by the Town Clerk.

MRS. MILLS moved that the reports, as stated above, be accepted
and placed on file.
Seconded by Mrs. Reilly
Motion Unanimously Carried
A letter was received from Mr. Marvin Novick regarding the tax
assessment on Hunt Country Estates with a communication attached
authorizing Mr. Kenneth Russ to act in his behalf in the matter.
Mr. Russ informed the Board that the request concerning the tax
assessment was sent in awhile ago, the main topic now was permis-
sion for a Conservation Subdivision Concept to this property.
The Board agreed that they should set a special time to discuss
this matter and the date of January 26th, 1981, the first work
shop of the year, 1st item on the agenda, was set.
A street lighting request was received from Mr. Rowland N}addonald
at both ends of Blackthorn Loop and Myers Corners Road.
Mr. Versace, Chairman of the Lighting Committee had visited the
area and agreed that lights should be installed.
MR. VERSACE moved that the Supervisor be authorized to sign4a
work order with Central Hudson to install street lights at both
N
ends of Blackthorn Loop intersecting with Myers Corners Roa&

Motion Unanimously Carried
Mrs. Loretta Giuffre, 35 Pye Lane had written to the Board
complaining of sand in her water which had been referred to the
Water and Sewer Committee by Mr. Diehl, Mrs. Mills, Chairman of
this Committee reported that she and Mrs. Reilly had met with
Mr. Tremper from Camo Pollution Control and had been informed by
him that they had been trying different solutions for a long period
of time and the problem would be relieved for a time and then start
up again.
MRS. MILLS moved that Camo Pollution Control be authorized to
118
conduct tests for a sixty day period in an effort to alleviate
the problem of sand in the water at Mrs. Giuffre's residence at
35 Pye Lane, Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Mrs. Reilly
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Versace requested that Mrs. Giuffre be notified of this action.
Under Committee Reports, Mrs. Mills reported that she had attended
a meeting of the Board of Governor's of the Joint Landfill Committee,
at which time a vote was taken to sell a scale located at the land-
fill, and not being utilized, to the Town of Pleasant Valley. The
Committee agreed to sell the scale for $1,500.00, although before
the sale was complete, they would determine that it was a fair
sale.
Mrs. Mills next report was on the open house she attended on
November 22, 1980, at the Glen Eagles Christian Home for Adults,
across from the airport. The New Hackensack Reformed Church was
now operating this home and according to Mrs. Mills, they were
doing a remarkable job; it is an asset to the Town, and the peeple
living there seemed to be happy living in this home -like atmosphere.
The Town of Wappinger should be proud that the Church had taken
over this project and were making a success of it. Mr. Diehl
commented that he, too, had visited the open house at Glen Eagles
and it was a great operation.
Mr. Johnson reported that on the third Tuesday of November, the
Board of Fire Prevention met, and this was the third meeting held
by them, but the first one as a Board conducted on a regular basis.
This Board is working on a new Fire Prevention Code for the Town,
and they requested that Mr. Adams attend their next meeting on the
third Tuesday of December to answer various legal questions that
have come up.
His next report was on the last Tri -Municipal meeting held and the
main topic of discussion was the acceleration of the project in an
effort to cut two years from the length of the program. The Towns
of Wappinger, Poughkeepsie and LaGrange have held meetings on the
project, and LaGrange is setting one up with the consultants.
The Town of Wappinger is endeavoring to set a public informa-
tional meeting which he felt should be early January. He recom-
mended that it be January 5th, at the Town Justice Court, however
Mr. Versace objected to the location as he felt the room was not
ample for the attendance he expected. He had many questions that
needed answers and assumed that at a public informational meeting,
many others would, also. He added that he hoped the Tri -Municipal
Commission and the consultants would have answers for these
residents, since it was a big project and involved a considerable
amount of money. His recommendation was that this meeting be held
at the Wappinger Junior High in order to accommodate the residents.
MR. JOHNSON moved to contact the Tri -Municipal Commission to set a
meeting for January 5th, 7:00 P.M. at Wappinger Junior High for
the purpose of providing information to the public on the Tri -
Municipal Project.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Jensen, Chairman of the Tri -Municipal Project was present
and requested that the Town set up the meeting, but the Commission
would conduct it. Mr. Diehl then requested the Town Clerk to
contact the school and set up this meeting for January 5th, 1981.
Mr. Johnson had one more item to discuss and that was to thank the
highway crew and Mr. Horton for the work on the drainage problem
at 104 Brothers Road, which had been requested at a previous
meeting. Mr. Johnson had had a call from the involved residents
and they were pleased with the great job the highway accomplished.
Mr. Versace reported on a street lighting request that had been
received at the last meeting from residents of Panoram Acres.
Central Hudson had been contacted to survey the area and submit
a map and report plus an approximate yearly cost to each resident,
but this had not yet been received. He had set up a meeting with
Mr. Paul Daniels, representative from Central Hudson, on December
llth at 4:00 P.M. to discuss this district.
Mr. Diehl then brought up the subject of striping of Ketchamtown
Road, which had been recommended by the Town Board for the
Highway Department to proceed with, as outlined in a communica-
tion from Dutchess County Department of Public Works. The
Highway Department did not have the equipment to do this type
of work and Mr. Diehl felt some other agency should be contacted
by them who did have the equipment to do the work.
MR. DIEHL moved that Mr. Horton be requested to contact other
agencies such as the school, the county or a private firm for
the cost to do this work, if he is not equipped to handle it.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Motion Unanimously Carried
At this time Mr. Diehl pointed out that the Town had started a
review and update of the Fire Prevention Code for the protection
of the residents several months ago; this was mentioned since
several big fires had occurred throughout the country claiming
many lives in the past few weeks.
Mr. Michael Hirkala, being recognized by the Chair, had some
questions on the cost of lateral districts of Tri -Municipal,
which hadn't been answered at the last meeting he attended.
He was looking for a total cost, not just Tri -Municipal costs.
Mr. Johnson explained that an application had been filed to
reserve monies for that program if Tri -Municipal progresses to
the next step; a grant approval of approximately $130,000 had
been received which would be kept in reserve. However in order
to come up with the figures Mr. Hirkala requested, a feasibility
study would have to be conducted. There are estimated costs
available which were received within the last week and this
information would be given at the informational meeting.
Discussion ensued on the costs of the lateral districts, and
Mr.Johnson said they were sketchy and they were doing the best
they could at this time. mr. Jensen added comments that at the
previous hearing costs were generated on each sewer district;
they were all documented and provided at the hearings and they
will be updated and provided each time a hearing is conducted.

The next item on the Agenda was an amendment requested by Mrs.
Mills to her previous motion pertaining to attendance at
various conferences by Town employees.
MRS.. MILLS moved to amend her motion made at the November 17th
1980 meeting which excluded Town employees from conferences,
by changing the wording to read that department heads would
have permission to send their employees to a conference they
feel would be beneficial to the employee, subject to the
approval of the Town Board.
Seconded by Mr. Versace
Motion Unanimously Carried
Before the motion was seconded, Mr. Versace asked that it include
that the Town approve expenses incurred by those attending the
conferences on the dates that are designated, not prior to or
later than these dates. Mrs. Mills did not agree with this as
she felt it was not necessary to spell this out since that was
the policy of the Town to pay expenses only on the dates that
were designated. Mr. Versace then rescinded that part of the
motion.
Mrs. Schmalz had submitted a report to the Town Clerk on the
condition of the barn on Montfort Road, owned by the Town,
as submitted by the architect. The Board had received copies

Mr. Diehl responded that he had sent out a second request to

endorsed the refurbishing of Wells #1 & 2. Money had been
