Re: Hughsonville Fire District

Our File 15922
Dear Mr. Roberts:
As you mayor may not know there has been some dispute with
regard to the appointment of an additional member from the
Hughsonville Fire District to the Fire Prevention Bureau. We are
writing to you as attorneys for the Hughsonville Fire District
with regard to this matter.
It has come to my attention that the nomination to that
Bureau by the Hughsonville Fire District of Peter Muro, has been
acted on by the Fire Prevention Bureau. Such action by the
Bureau is a nullity and of no real force and effect since the
BUfeau itself is not a self-sustaining organization.
I enclose herewith first page of a copy of the Town of
Wappinger legislation establishing the said Bureau and as can be
seen therefrom the appointment of all members is to be acted on
by the Town Board. To my knowledge the Town Board has taken no
action concerning Mr. Muro I s nomination, al though the same was
made to it in January of this year.
Accordingly, I would ask that you have the Town Board, at
its next meeting, take action on Mr. Muro's nomination and report
the results thereof to the Commissioners of the Hughsonville Fire
District so that they may be aware of the Board's decision.

TOWN CLeRK
Dear Members of the Town Board:
On December 24, 1991, we submitt.d: the name of Peter Muro
to fill the unexpired term of Jon ~ilson on the Fire Pre-
vention Bureau. We are in receipt of copies of correspon-
dence from the Chairman of the Fire Prevention Bureau to
you dated January 22, 1992 apparently suggesting that you
not appoint Mr. Muro to the vacancy. We are also in re-
ceipt of a copy of the minutes of the Fire Prevention Bureau
meeting dated January 21,1992. It is of great concern that
no mention of Mr. Muro'squalifications or appointment is
~e61~cted in those minutes. Wa, therefore, fail to under-
stand how the letter of January 22 could be written.
For your review, we enclose minutes of the Fire Prevention
Bureau and the letter from that Bureau.
We, therefore, recommend the appointment of Mr. Muro as set
forth in our letter of December 2.4, 1991. We would be more
than happy to cooperate with you with regard to any questions
you may have on this appointment. We would expect to hear
from you on the Town Board'S decision.
Yours very truly,

Dear Supervisor Smith & Town board,
I Peter J. Muro of the Hughsonville Fire Department
would like to WITHDRAW my name for consideration to
the Fire Prevention Bureau at this timc.
I would like to appologize to you Supervisor Smith and
members of the Wappinger Town Board if my name was used
to cause any problems to you in any way.
What W8S happening to me had nothing to do with any of you.

of many.
This is'in no reflection to you Supervisor Smith & Town Board
members.
What my intentions were and still are to serve the town and my
fire distict with my 27 years of fire service to the community.
I cannot control the varlOUS statements th8t were made by
others.
So, again I appologize for the inconvience it caused all
of you, and again request my name be WITHDRAWN.
Re_~p~ect - lly yours,
gL ftti<-uJ
PETER CJ. MUFlO.
