Re: 2011 Highway Bonding
Doug,
Attached please fmd my letter of March 23,2011 to the Town Board. The Town Board
has elected to purchase the following equipment:
Highway Department Equipment
3 Dump Trucks @ $135,000 each
3 Pick Up Trucks @ $35,000 each
TOTAL
$405,000
$105.000
$510,000
Highway Department/Water, Sewer Districts
Vactor -
$350,000*
*Costs are to be allocated 60% to Highway Department, 20% to Water Districts, and 20%
to Sewer Districts.
NOTE: This may be more problematic than its worth. As you know, the Town has
consolidated several of the water and sewer systems into the United Wappinger Water

District and the United Wappinger Sewer District. However, there remain several
satellite systems:
. Tall Trees Water Improvement Area
. Watchhill Water Improvement Area
. Fleetwood Water District
. Wildwood Sewer District
. Midpoint Park Sewer District
. Fleetwood Sewer District
. Watchhill Sewer Improvement Area
To allocate the costs to all of the improvement areas and districts might be more costly
than it is worth. Mike Tremper of Camo Pollution Control suggested that only UWWD
and UWSD participate in the purchase. We would appreciate your advice.
Recreation Department
MowerlTractor -
Landpride Tow-Behind Mower
TOTAL
$75,000
$15.000
$90,000
The Board would like to bond some of this equipment as quickly as possible to take
advantage of the current interest rates. The purchase of the Vactor may have to be
delayed until we resolve how it is to be paid.
Thank you for your courtesy and attention.
Very truly yours,
VERGILIS, STENGER, ROBERTS, DAVIS & DIAMOND, LLP
