John has been an asset to the Village during his tenure here. John's knowledge of our code and how it pertains to property owners' concerns is superb. One of the most important contributions that John has brought to the Village has been his experience from the Town of Wappinger Zoning Department. Because of his experience and knowledge of the Town Code, we have been working on the Village's code to bring it up to date. John's interpersonal skills exceed expectations. He is able to meet with property owners and walk them through the permit process including the Planning Board and the Zoning Board. John attends both our Planning and Zoning Board meetings and meets with property owners all through their process to get them through the entire process. We would definitely be open to sharing John, but understand that this is a full time opportunity and that he might not be able to do both jobs. Please feel free to discuss his qualifications with me at your convenience at 845-220- 6654. ~~e~~ Matt Alexander Mayor .

During that time I have found John to be a loyal and dedicated worker. Every task he approaches he approaches with enthusiasm and professionalism. He does not give instant satisfaction. Ifhe does not know the answer to something, he will research it until he finds the answer. He is extremely conscientious with his work and shows no partiality. One of his greatest attributes is the way he treats people when they come into our office. It does not matter if they are a citizen of the Village, Engineer, Developer or Contractor - they are all treated the same with courtesy, kindness and respect. He is a true gentlemen. Our office is a small office and therefore we are all involved with each other. John has worked with me on Planning and Zoning matters since he has been here. He is familiar with the procedures, rules and regulations of both the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. Through our working relationship a bond of friendship has grown and I know that he will be a great asset to the Town of Wappinger Building, Planning and Zoning Departments.

NY 12590 (845) 297-5277 FAX: (845) 296-0378 Mr. Chris Colsey, Supervisor And Town ofWappingers Board 20 MIddlebush Road Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 Dear Sirs and Madam: Reference is made to the proposal that Mayor Matt Alexander has made to you regarding the sharing of my setVices with the Town. I understand that I may be hired as a Deputy Building Inspector but my main assignment will be Clerk: to the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. Please note that as Supervisor to the Zoning and Building Departments I have worked closely with the Clerk of the Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals here in the Village who has 23 year of experience in this field. I understand that the job consists of taking and transcribing minutes, typing legal notices, advising applicants of who they should send legal notices to (property owners within 200 ft. of subject property), putting together the agenda, working with both the Town Attorney and Town Engineer, preparing meeting materials for all Board members and interfacing with applicants on all aspects of their project. With the economic conditions such as they are it has reduced the amount of development which limits the number of applications to the municipalities. Therefore, the amount of man hours is also being reduced. Because of the aforementioned facts, I feel this job can be accomplished on either a part time basis or a quasi part time basis. I am hoping to be considered for this position. I feel I will be an asset to the Town of Wappinger Building, Zoning and Planning Departments. Thank you very much in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

I have found John to be dedicated, hard-working, sincere and a pleasant person who always has a "service-with-a-smile attitude." John's position requires a high level of knowledge in local and state building and zoning laws as well as local Village laws and is exemplary in his expertise and executing his responsibilities. John is adept and skilled at handling the public in a professional manner at all times while enforcing laws and ordinances. John is organized and has great follow-up skills in handling time-sensitive material. Self-motivated, John can work independently and in a team environment; this is a great attribute as his position requires flexibility working in an office, the community, attending board meetings and court sessions. Moreover, John is liked by all who know him and I wish him much success in all his endeavors. I hope you can reap the benefits of John's talents. Please call me if I can answer any questions.
