Adjournment r' 389 The Regular Monthly Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on December 9, 1974 at 8:00 P.M. at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New York. Supervisor Diehl called the meeting to order at 8:14 P.M. Present: Louis Diehl, Supervisor Louis Clausen, Councilman Leif Jensen, Councilman Stephen Saland, Councilman Frank Versace, Councilman Elaine Snowden, Town Clerk Others Present: William Horton, Superintendent of Highways Allan Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town Rudolph Lapar, Engineer to the Town The minutes of the Regular Monthly Meetings of October 15, 1974 and November 13, 1974, and the Special Meetings of November 8, 1974 and November 18, 1974, having been previously sent to the Town Board members, were now placed before them for their approval. Mr. Saland indicated that a section of the November 13, 1974 Regular Monthly Meeting, dealing with the matter of Mr. Dangler and Mr. Hankin and the withholding of Building Permits and C.O's in Ye Olde Apple Orchard, seemed to be a bit confused and unclear. It was agreed to hold up approval of these minutes for clarification. MR. CLAUSEN moved the minutes of the October 15, 1974 Regular Monthly Meeting and the November 8, 1974 and November 18, 1974 Special Meetings, as submitted by the Town Clerk be and they are hereby approved. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Motion Unanimously Carried Supervisor Diehl announced there were present, at the request of the Town Board, the four County Representatives, Dr. Hannigan, G. Donald Finnan, Joseph Poillucci, and John Armstrong, who repre- sent the Town of Wappinger, The purpose of request for their 90 attendance was to discuss their positions on the Tri -Municipal Sewer District. Mr. Clausen opened the discussion by reading the following letter which had been sent to the Dutchess County Board of Representatives. 7 December 1974 Dutchess County Board of Representatives Dutchess County Office Building Poughkeepsie, New York Madam and Gentlemen: The Tri -Municipal Sewer Committee respectfully requests your consideration of the impact of your decision with respect to our purchase of lands within the Children's Aid Society Tract. While sewage problems are often given too little attention, we are sure you are aware of the need for a sewage plant to serve the Wappinger Drainage Basin. The Village of Wappingers Falls sewer plant serves not only the Village but a large part of the Town of Poughkeepsie. This plant must be replaced and if our plan falters these communities may be foreed to build without Federal aid. There are 18 small sewer plants on local streams which will be replaced in the Towns of LaGrange, Poughkeepsie and Wappinger. Many septic systems now polluting the water supply" will be eliminated. If this plant is built there will be no further construction of small sewer plants on local streams. Federal and State Aid is now available to solve this problem and we are in a position pf priority with aid likely in 1975-76. In 1972 our four municipalities jointly agreed to plan, construct and operate this sewage system. We did so because the County did not appear interested in developing such a system. We hired engineers and to date We have spent $300,000.00 on the preparation of plans and studies for submission to the Federal and State Agencies by December 31, 1974. We followed closely the master plan prepared by Clinton -Bogert in 1968. The plant site selected by our engineers was the same site selected by Clinton Bogert in 1968 in the master plan for the County. It is clearly and precisely shown on plate 8 of that report and it is there laid out in detail on the Children's Aid property. This site was again set forth in the updated report of Clinton - Bogert in July of 1974. Despite reports to the contrary, Mr. Kaufman of Clinton Bogert, has stated that there is flexibility in the way the plant is locates on the site but that does not mean that the plant can be located any place on the property. We assumed that your body was acquainted with the above County studies as more than $400,000.00 had been paid for them and your engineers were in constant touch with your Planning Department. When, in July of 1974, you publicly expressed an interest in the Children's Aid property each Community contacted its County Repre- sentative to make certain that they were acquainted with our needs. We saw no conflict with this plan as our site was also your site for the sewer plant. We do not understand those that say, "Now things are changed, the site is going to be a park for children". In point of fact the site was a large and beautiful children's camp when your engineers made the original proposal. The State Park advisers tell us that the uses are compatible. We do not understand those that say, "We did not know the location of the sewer plant when we voted for the Park". It is clearly set out in the 1968 Clinton -Bogert report. On September 16, 1974, our engineers orally pointed this out to the County Planning Department. On September 25, 1974, a written report was given to the County Planning Department. On September 26, 1974, the map was shown to several County Representatives. On October2, 1974, a further written report was given to several County Representa- tives showing the exact site. The County Planning Department has urged that we shift the site to the northwest quadrant of the property to a site of 12 acres the called 1B. (The original site is called LA). When Mr. LaRow of the State Conservation Department recently appeared here, he told us and several County Representatives that such a switch was not possible due to the fact that an engineering report had to be ready by December 31, 1974. He also said that site 1B was more costly to develop and had a more serious impact upon the environment as it was a bird sanctuary and an animal feeding ground. The County Planning Department then called Mr. Biggane and asked for a meeting to see if we could get an extension for filing the engineering report to change the site to 1B. A meeting was held on December 2, 1974 with Mr. Biggane and others. We were given a thirty day extension for a site decision. We have now completed the preliminary studies on site 1B. These studies show that site 1B will cost the Town of Wappinger at least an additional $713,000.00 and the Village of Wappingers Falls an . additional $100,000.00. It is also necessary to build a long access road and the sewer trunk lines will cut through the full length of the property. The trunk line from the south must also cut through the woods as originally proposed. In addition the environment impact of site 1B may well be fatal to the project. This fact has been confirmed by Mr. LaRow and 122 Associate. This is so because site 1B may req uire an additional year to develop the complete material necessary for an environmental study. We can only repeat to you the facts as we have been told them. In making your decision we want you to be aware of the same things we are. 'We have been told a one year's delay will cost 10 million dollars and it may mean the loss of a_priority position for federal kbe and State Aid. A two year delay would add 20 to 25 million dollars to these costs. she We do not want to interfere with your decision to have a park. We think that the plant on site LA is the best place for the plant taking all the factors into consideration. We are willing to go to site 1B if it can be approved without causing a loss of one year or Federal and State Aid. We ask that you reserve from the park acquisition the 12 acres for site 1B and the 20 acres for site LA. We ask that you then await a decision by the regulatory agencies as to which site we can use. As you know, site LA is already in our report and 1B will be added by way of an addendum. We believe that this request is also con- sistent with your needs as we understand you are requesting Federal and State Assistant for the purchase of the park. 89 392 If you elect to follow this procedure or if you elect to delay your purchase until we can get a decision from the State and Federal people, we believe that all of the needs of the residents of Dutchess County will be served. We would also urge that the full Board grant us time to appear before you and present to you the people from the State and Federal level as well as our own experts before you make this critical decision. We feel that it is important that the full Board should know all the facts so that the consequences of its decision are clear. Respectfully submitted Tri -Municipal Committee Village of Wappingers Falls, s/ Mayor J. Donald Synett, Raymond Belding, Raymond Dolan, Raymond Bain Mr. Clausen, not being a member of the Tri -Municipal Committee, requested of the County Representatives present to shed light on the reason for the 100% unanimous dissenting vote taken by the County Board today to delete site lA as a possible site for the Tri -Municipal sewer plant and move it to -the Northwest quadrant 1B. Mr. Jensen thanked Mr. Clausen for reading the letter, and added that the four communities had held two emergency meetings because it was felt, as the letter states, it could be a detri- ment to our area, and the letter was presented to the County Representatives this morning. Dr. Hannigan stressed the point that none of the County Repre- sentatives looked on this matter lightly, especially those from this area, but had been having a very trying time with a group of very difficult decisions to make. The vote was taken to pur- chase the Park, with the exception of site 1B. He emphatically stated that from where he sat no way was lA ever going to be permitted in that park. There were very strong resentments and feelings that the Treatment Plant should not be in the Park at all, which was, in itself, a serious threat to all of the plans which included a Park and a Treatment Plant. In the end, it all boiled down to a choice of a Sewer Treatment Plant on site 1B and a park on the rest of the property, or no park, or a park and no sewer. He then went into a lenghty commentary about site location, discussions in Albany, cost estimates of the Tri -Municipal district with all of its implications priorities. Mr. Clausen and Mr. Versace questioned Dr. Hannigan on the original locations of the Plant kw recommended and varying acreage. Lengthy discussion ensued between Mr. Saland, Mr. Jensen and Dr. Hannigan. Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Finnan and Mr. Poillucci were also given opportunities to present their views on the Park and location of the Sewer Treat- ment Plant, along with answering questions from the Town Board interspersed periodically. Dr. Hannigan in his parting remarks commented that, although the Town Board was not pessimistic, they had done a great job of picking out every possible thing that could go wrong, but hadn't pointed out any of the advantages of moving to site 1B, like this sewer will be out of the way, will not interfere with the Park, and leaves the best, the viable part of the Park for the purpose it was being purchased for. One more point was again driven home by Mr. Clausen, that being the fact that the County Board of Representatives collectively had been unsure, unfamiliar or misinformed of the exact location of the site proposed for the Sewer Treatment Plant. This fact had been brought back to the Town Board time and time again by the Town's Attorney and Engineer, that the County Representatives weren't fully aware of where that site really was. Mr. Clausen felt perhaps the County Representatives might possibly have been playing games with the whole thing, for one reason or another, or perhaps the County Planning Department hadn't given the County Representatives the straight facts. It seemed the Southwest corner of the property was commonly believed the site location, which was in fact, as conceded by Dr. Hannigan, not the case. Upon that note the County Representatives excused themselves from the meeting and the Town Board resumed its normal Agenda. Mr. Diehl, - moving on to the Agenda - are there any Reports of Officers? The Reports for the month of November were received from the Supervisor, Town Justices and the Building Inspector. MR. CLAUSEN moved the Reports for the month of November from the Supervisor, Town Justices and Building Inspector be accepted and placed on file. Seconded by Mr. Jensen.

Re: Oakwood Knolls S.T.P. L -P Gas Service Dear Board Members: On October 22nd this office sent letters to the following companies requesting informal bids to provide gas service to the above referenced project. These included: Adirondack Bottled Gas Corp. Arco Truflame LP Gas Mid -Hudson Bottled Gas Inc. Star Gas Co., Inc. Hyde Park Homgas Co. As of this date this office has received only one bid; that being from Mid -Hudson Bottled Gas, Inc. Therefore, as per the enclosed letter, this office recommends Alternate #1 by Mid=Hudson Bottled Gas, Inc. to provide L -P Gas -Service to the above referenced project. If there are any questions please contact this office. Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E. MR. JENSEN moved to accept the recommendation of Mr. Lapar and accept the informal bid from Mid -Hudson iBottled Gas Inc. to furnish gas service to the Oakwood Knolls Sewer Treatment Plant. Seconded by Mr. Versace. Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes 0 Nays A letter was received from Keith Christophersen, President of the Royal Ridge Civic Association, accompanied by a petition requesting a speed limit of 25 MPH be established for the streets in said development. 400 It was so noted that an area speed limit of 35 MPH had been established a year ago for this entire area. Mr. Hortin indicated that speed limit signs had been installed at all three entrances into Royal Ridge Development. Mr. Saland wondered if the Civic Association was in fact aware that there was already in existence a 35MPH speed limit. He questioned whether the Town could request a radar setup on, say, TopO'Hill Rd. which is the main thoroughfare between Rt. 376 and Myers Corners and is used by many as a short cut. He indicated that he personally would call the Sheriff's office regarding some specific cars he has seen speeding in the late afternoon. MR. JENSEN moved to send a letter to the President of the Civic Association telling them that there is presently a speed limit of 35MPH in effect; ask Mr. Horton to explore the request to install "Yield" signs where Joel Place intersects Sabra Lane and Dorette Drive, and further so advise the State Police that continuous speeding is taking place in the area and request they set up speed checks in the near future. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes 0 Nays The following letters were received: November 20, 1974 Mrs. Elaine Snowden, Town Clerk Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York Dear Mrs. Snowden: In regard to your letter dated October 18th requesting action on the control of traffic exiting onto New Hackensack Road from the Imperial Plaza, please be advised that a field investigation has been made. The investigation indicates that there exists three signs indicating "Entrance Only" into the Plaza. The consensus of our investigating staff members is that this problem is purely one of enforcement and there is nothing beyond location of signs that this Department can do. s/ James Spratt, Comm. November 20, 1974 Mrs. Elaine Snowden, Town Clerk Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York Dear Mrs. Snowden: 40Y Your request for paving shoulders on the New Hackensack Road adjacent to Route 9 has been reviewed, and field investigation indicates that there is sufficient shoulder area for additional widening to give a higher capacity of traffic flow during the "green" time on the traffic light at this intersection. I have requested that this be put on a design schedule to layout a proper configuration of the widening and tapering required and when completed and reviewed in light of N.Y.S. Traffic Control Manual, we will place it on our maintenance program for implementation. Very truly yours, s/ James Spratt P.C. Commissioner MR. CLAUSEN moved Mr. Spratt's letters be received and placed on file. Seconded by Mr. Saland Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes 0 Nays A letter had been received from Dave Alexander Inc. requesting additional payment for 42" reinforced concrete pipe installed on Widmer Road in connection with his contract #7 Wappinger Storm Sewer Project. MR. SALAND moved that the letter of November 21, 1974 along with the letter of August 12, 1974 (with supporting materials) from Dave Alexander, Inc., be received and placed on file, and be it further moved that Mr. Alexander's request for consideration for additional payment pursuant to reinforced concrete pipe installed on Widmer Road in connection with Contract #7 -Wappin- ger Storm Sewer Project - be denied for the very obvious reasons that the contract was accepted and he can live with the contract - and there is no need to open a torrent of contractors requesting similar considerations.

Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from Camo Pollution Control, Inc. regarding sewer services complaint of Dr. Brownstein, 2 Tor Road, which indicated they found no sign of blockage or previous back-ups in the Town main line. The following letter, with regard to this correspondence was received: 403 November 19, 1974 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Sewage Service Complaint Dr. Brownstein 2 Tor Road Town of Wappinger Gentlemen: We are in receipt of the letter from Camo Pollution Control, Inc. written by Bob Cacchio on November 13, 1974. Some years ago when we had a similar problem in the Oakwood Knolls Sewer District the policy was promulgated by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger; to wit, that the Town of Wappinger in these existing districts in the Town wherein the Town has no inspection or anything else, the homeowner was, is, and will be responsible out to the 8" main in the street. We at no time had any cause to change this opinion and it is my recommendation that the Town Board not alter this policy and that it remain in effect, and Dr. Brownstein be so informed. Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E. Mr. Jensen commented that Mr. Lapar's letter once again reaffirms the Town's responsibility - the homeowner's responsi- bility is to the main line from the house. MR. CLAUSEN moved that both Mr. Lapar's and Camo's letters be placed on file. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried MR. SALAND moved that the annual year end auditing meeting be held on December 30, 1974, at 7:00 P.M. at the Town Hall. Seconded by Mr. Versace Motion Unanimously Carried MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Reorganizational meeting be held on January 2, 1975 at 4:00 P.M. at the Town Hall. Seconded by Mr. Versace Motion Unanimously Carried An application was received from Elizabeth T. Gloede for a Hawking and Peddling License. The application has been referred to the Dutchess County Sheriff's Department, and returned in- dicating no criminal record on file. MR. SALAND moved to approve the application and grant Elizabeth T. Gloede a license for Hawking and Peddling in the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried Under Committee Reports, Mr. Clausen asked Mr. Rappleyea to bring the Board up to date on negotiations for the office space for the Town Justices in the Sweet Orr Building. Mr. Rappleyea answered that he had talked to Mr. Silver who was supposed to have been present tonight to discuss with the Board some problems over suggested alterations made by the Town Justices that Mr. Silver dith t care for. Mr. Rappleyea would prefer that Mr. Silver speak directly to the Board regard- ing his proposed layout of the building. MR. CLAUSEN moved to set an executive meeting with Mr. Silver at 7:00 P.M., and an executive meeting at 7:30 P.M. with Schoon- maker on December 18, 1974, at the Town Hall. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Clausen directed an inquiry to Mr. Horton regarding residents complaining about a "stop" sign being too close to the inter- section of Old State Road and North River Road. It was sug- gested that if the Law prohibited a "stop" sign being placed farther back from the intersection, that consideration be given to a sign saying "stop ahead". Mr. Horton indicated that he was aware of the problem and had already ordered a "stop ahead" sign for that location, a "yield" sign had previously been there. 405 Mr. Clausen further commented that at the time the PUD had been approved for that area, it had been contemplated condemning some property to straighten out North River Road, to make it a straight road ott to Route 9D, is this still being contemplated, are there any suggestions that we should move in that direction to alleviate that whole problem? Mr. Horton stated that if the Town was going to condemn it they should start doing it now, also, it would take a lot of fill to cross the swamp in order to come out on Route 9D. The Board was in general agree- ment that it should be done. MR. CLAUSEN moved that Rudolph Lapar, Allan Rappleyea and William Horton be so empowered to make a study of condemning that piece of property and eventually making it (North River Road) a straight road out to 9D, for them to come up with a cost figure and whatever. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Jensen reported that the Tri -Municipal Committee is meeting on a regular basis with the next meeting scheduled for December 12th, and will obviously be taking up what happened with the County Representatives today. Mr. Rappleyea had a matter for the Highway Committee for its consideration, that being the question a resident raised at a previous meeting about accepting Plaza Road. As a result of the question he had done some checking with Mr. Lapar and Mr. Horton. That tract was set forth on an approved map dating back to the '30's and queried whether or not the public does not already have some right in it as a public road, in that it is on a filed map as a road and as a public thoroughfare. In any event, the width of the road on the map is 45' as is most of the roads in that area. The owner of the base of the road has said that he will give the Town a deed for the road, and of course that will give us the right, without question, to use it for any sewer lines. The question would be for the Highway Committee to determine whether or not the Town wants to accept it as a Town Right of Way and maintain it as a public road, even though it is only 45'. Mr. Lapar indicated that he had discussed with Mr. Horton, Roberts Road, another typical example, in the same situation. His discussion with Mr. Horton was that the Town should probably take them both, they are good roads with a good base on them and the Town can get State aid on them. It would be up to Mr. Horton, however, to give a recommendation on that. Mr. Horton recommended that the Town should take these roads over because if the Town is going to put sewer lines and so forth in them and if the Town should want to go in, they would feel free to do so. Mr. Rappleyea indicated that if the Board wished to move in that direction, they should so direct him to prepare an appro- priate resolution. Mr. Clausen asked if there would be any possibility of getting the other 5' to make the 50' ROW. Mr. Rappleyea indicated that that would necessitate getting 20 to 40 instruments, which would take time. Mr. Horton indicated that he was willing to accept the 45' since the actual width of the road would only be 20'. MR. CLAUSEN moved to direct Allan Rappleyea to prepare a resolution to accept Plaza Road as and for a Town of Wappinger public thoroughfare. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Clausen asked Mr. Rappleyea if the Town was still in communi- cation with Mr. Schuele on the potential Town Hall purchase or rental. Mr. Rappleyea had spoken with Mr. Schuele regarding /: thy this matter at the closing of Hilltop Water, and asked him if the other principals would come up and meet with the Town Board to discuss it. MR. CLAUSEN moved to direct Mr. Rappleyea to write to the XYZ Corp. with regard to a meeting with the Town Board. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried The following resolution was offered by COUNCILMAN JENSEN who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the Town Superintendent of Highways has been requested to remove snow from County roads, and to sand or otherwise treat them for the purpose of removing the danger of ice and snow, by the Commissioner of Public Works of Dutchess County, in accordance with Article 6, Section 135-2 of the Highway Law., now therefore be it RESOLVED, that the Town Superintendent be and is herein authorized to perform such work as is found necessary, at the hourly rate as fixed by the State Commissioner of Trans- portation for the renting and hiring of such equipment for the Winter season 1974-75.

This bill was paid on November 1 and the monies was appropriated against Account #A7140.4. In doing this an overdraft was created in Account #A7140.4. The amount of this bill was $10,578.55. We therefore recommend that the Town Board authorize the payment ofithis bill from Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. However, if the Town Board feels that they do not want to use Federal Revenue Sharing Funds this way, the money could come from Contingency -Town Wide, which has ample funds to take care of this.

Motion Unanimously Carried With reference to Item #9 in the request of Transfer of monies from the Supervisor's Office, it was determined that in 1973, the Town Board had authorized a total of $25,000 be transferred from Revenue Sharing to pay for Tennis Courts at Martz Field. Approximately $7,000 of this appropriation from Federal Revenue Sharing was unused when the initial bills were presented for payment. This actually would leave a balance of $3,578.55 to be considered as an overexpenditure. MR. SALAND moved to reaffirm that the unexpended balance of 413 $1,000.00 from the original Resolution allocating the sum of $25,000 from Federal Revenue Sharing for payment of Tennis Courts, be transferred to Account #A7140.4 for payment of this bill from Daniel F. MacNamee, and that the remaining balance of $3,578.55 be transferred from Account #A1990.4 Contingency, Town Wide to Account #A7140.4, in order to eliminate the overdraft. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Jensen directed attention to the proposed agreement with Camo Pollution Control Inc. that was before the Board for complete operation and maintenance of the Plants, starting as of tonight at 5:00 P.M. (December 9, 1974). Mr. Rappleyea said that it would be based upon time of execution, and added that payments were broken down into 30 day periods, as opposed to monthly, probably the first billing prorated from said December 9th to the 31st, a 21 day period, and thereafter the 30 day period corresponding to monthly pay periods. MR. JENSEN moved that the proposed Agreement with Camo Pollu- tion Control, Inc., for operation and maintenance of the Town of Wappinger Sewer and Water Plants be accepted as printed and read; and further, to authorize and direct the Supervisor to execute said agreement. This covers the 9 Sewer and Water Districts that the Town now operates. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Jensen added that this agreement, in effect, abolishes the Town Sewer and Water Department completely and the present Town of Wappinger employees working for these departments will possibly• -now be working for Camo Pollution. Mr. Clausen asked that the Town Clerk send to all Board members copies of all Town Committee members at the present time serving on these committees, such as -Zoning Board of Appeals, etc. and their terms of office. The following resolution was introduced by COUNCILMAN SALAND, who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, Lombardi & Son Inc. has the contract to construct the sewer lines on Spook Hill Road and Orchard Homes, and WHEREAS, the said lines should have been completed and accepted on or before October 15, 1974, and WHEREAS, said lines have not been inspected and approved, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Rudolph E. Lapar is hereby authorized and directedtonotify said Contractor that said inspection is to be completed by December 16, 1974, and if said lines are not completed, said Rudolph E. Lapar is authorized to complete such testing and charge the cost thereof to said contractor. - Seconded by Mr. Versace. MotionUnanimouslyCarried The request of W. C. Dean for a rezoning was tabled and recommended it be a matter of prime discussion with the Zoning Committee to resolve. Mr. Rappleyea stated that a request had come in from Mrs. Anderson, Zoning Administrator for his office to consider a problem that has beenposedwith relation to the Smith property, Route 9. A bank is seeking a temporary structure, in the form of a trailer, as a bank site, awaiting the construction of building. Mr. Clausen asked how they could do that in light of the moratorium. Mr. Rappleyea replied that they would like to get the Town and Planning Board's opinion on whether or not a temporary structure would be contrary.to what the Master Plan is. Mr. Clausen mused that as Mr. Horton had once said, you never move a pole temporarily, it always becomes 4 15 permanent, therefore, a temporary structure may just remain there. The matter lay there, and Mr. Diehl recommended it be discussed with the Zoning Committee. The following letter was received: November 12, 1974 Town Board Town of Wappinger Town Hall Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York Gentlemen: On November 7th, 1974, title was closed to Mayim Water Company, Inc. and Mid -Point Park Sewer Facility. As you are aware, the gross price for the water plant was $90,000.00 and the Town was paid $25,000.00 at the time of taking over the sewer plant. An item arose at the time of the closing wherein the sellers advised me that they had not billed for either sewer service or water service from October 1st until November 7th; they have requested that they be paid a pro -rated share of the billings for that period and that the Town would be billed from October 1st. If this procedure is followed, the amount due would be as follows: Mid -Point Park Filtration Corp. $1,162.52 and Mayim Water Company Inc. $1454.90. If this procedure is adopted, the sellers would allow the Town $300.00 for the pumping of some sludge in the tank that built up during that period. If your honorable body wishes to follow the above pro- cedure, I would suggest a short resolution concurring in the proposed procedure in paying the above pro -rated adjustments to the sellers. Very truly yours, s/ Allan E. Rappleyea Mr. Rappleyea indicated that perhaps it would be best to discuss the request at an executive meeting. MR. JENSEN moved to table the matter of Mayim Water Company request. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried 416 A request was received from Herman Zelman, Roundtree Builders and Developers Corp. for the return of '2 their subdivision fee (paid in to the Town December 19, 1972). An opinion letter from Mr. Rappleyea, indicated, upon investigation, that i the fee should be refunded. MR. SALAND moved that in light of the report received from the Attorney to the Town, whereby their investigation indicated that 1 of the subdivision fee paid by Roundtree Builders should be refunded, that the Town Board approve the refund of '1 the subdivision fee. Seconded by Mr. Versace Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Jensen reported that an applicant was interviewed the other day for the position of Comptroller (Charles Rae) and added that very shortly the Board should be very seriously considering filling that position, and hope that the Board can act quickly after the first of the year to fill the position. Mr. Diehl indicated Mr. Clausen had had one other request forwarded to him, and , if one can submit a resume, a meeting should be set up to interview him. Mr. Saland asked if a meeting could be up with the Board to review the recom- mendations. Mr. Horton, Highway Superintendent requested some clarifica- tion on the type of grating the Board was considering when they acted on the Truett drainage problem. Mr. Saland indi- cated that he believed it would have to be some type that would interlock over the pipe in order to allow for the pas- sage of obstacles but not so large as to permit a child to slip through. Mr. Horton then asked if, now that Camo had taken over the sewer and water maintenance, they had to dig in the roads, would they be responsible and have to put up 417 an insurance certificate (for road opening permits). Mr. Rappleyea believed that now they would be considered agents of the Town, and would also assume that their type of main- tenance would not be of that nature. Theirs is really main- tenance of the plants. If the problem did arise, Camo should so inform the Board and receive direction as to who is to do the work. In an emergency the Supervisor would give direction. Mr. Horton then asked about the portable 2 -way Highway radios being utilized by the (now defunct) Water and Sewer Department. Who's responsibility was it to get these back to the Highway Department? Mr. Diehl indicated he would get with Mr. Horton on this matter in the morning. Mr. Clausen asked Mr. Horton to look into puddling conditions on the shoulder of Widmer Road in the vicinity of his and neighbor's mailboxes. Mr. Horton agreed he'd look into it. Mr. Clausen then mentioned to Mr. Lapar that the boundary stake on the edge of his property was removed when the contractor dug up for the pipe (this stake is the one used to take points for all other properties along the western end of Widmer Road), he was wondering if it could be replaced as he believes it's an important stake. Mr. Clausen then brought up the subject of Wappinger Park. He can forsee, along about April, residents from the lower end coming in screaming about flooding. There have been several proposals before the Board, some to install drainage in the whole area, some for storm drains in only sections of Wappinger Park. He asked now that Mr. Lapar and Mr. Horton be authorized to come in to the Board with an up- dated version of costs to eleviate the lower part of Wappinger Park, where there is a definite need for drainage, so the Board may be ready for action when the time comes. -4 is MR. CLAUSEN moved that Mr. Lapar, Engineer to the Town and Mr. Horton, Superintendent of Highways be authorized to prepare an updated cost report for drainage in the lower section of Wappinger Park. Seconded by Mr. Versace. Motion Unanimously Carried MR. CLAUSEN moved the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Mr. Versace and unanimously carried. The meeting adjourned at 1:01 A.M. Reg.
