Public Comments
The first resident to speak was Maria Gilbride. Ms. Gilbride asked what the Personnel
Interviews Executive Session item on the Agenda was for. She also asked how the
advertisement for applicants was published and what the position description was. Supervisor
Colsey replied that he has not yet heard back from Civil Service about this topic. Ms. Gilbride
asked what department this interview was for. Supervisor Colsey answered that it was for the
Department of Code Enforcement. Ms. Gilbride then asked if the position was full-time or part-
time. Supervisor Colsey replied that he cannot answer that because it has not been approved by
Civil Service. He went on to say that the Board discussed targeting a temporary, part-time Code
Enforcement/Building Inspector. Ms. Gilbride asked how the Board planned to do interviews if
they haven't heard back from Civil Service. Supervisor Colsey answered that the Board has
asked if the position needs to be filled from a list or if it is going to be an open position. Since
Civil Service has not responded, there are no applicants. Therefore, the Board will not be
interviewing candidates. Ms. Gilbride asked if the job description will be available for
inspection. Supervisor Colsey replied that it is a public record.

Regular Meetine Minutes July 11, 2011
"Local Law No. _ of the Year 2011, Designating a Three -Way Full Stop Intersection at
Diddell Road and Smith Crossing Road, and Full Stop Intersections at Viola Court at Its
Intersection with Robinson Lane and Gerhard Court at Its Intersection with Viola Court"
Councilman Paoloni made a motion to open the Public Hearing. The motion was
seconded by Councilwoman Czamiecki and passed unanimously. Town Clerk, Chris Masterson,
offered for the record the Affidavits of Posting and Publication, duly signed and notarized (These
Affidavits are attached hereto and made a part thereof the Minutes of the Public Hearing).
Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, noted that this Local Law was prompted by a
request from Dutchess County, as a result of the Rail Trail. The Town agrees with the County in
that it would be advantageous to have a three-way stop sign on Diddell Road. The other stop
signs are a result of a new subdivision that the Town has recently taken over. Councilman
Paoloni asked if the County had mentioned anything about the Rail Trail crossing on Maloney
Road. Mr. Foster answered that there is no Rail Trail crossing on Maloney Road. Discussion
followed.
Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, echoed Mr. Foster's comments that this topic was
prompted by Dutchess County Department of Public Works.
Supervisor Colsey opened the floor to the public. The first resident to speak was Gary
Lindstrom. Mr. Lindstrom asked if the County would be funding the signs. Mr. Foster
explained that the signs were installed by the Town. He added that the no -parking signs are
being put in by the County, at no cost to the Town. There were no other comments.
Councilman Paoloni made a motion to close the Public Hearing. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Beale and passed unanimously.

"Local Law No._ of the Year 2011, Amending Section 230-46 of the Town Code
Establishing Additional No Parking Areas"
Councilman Paoloni made a motion to open the Public Hearing. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Beale and passed unanimously. Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, offered
for the record the Affidavits of Posting and Publication, duly signed and notarized (These
Affidavits are attached hereto and made a part thereof the Minutes of the Public Hearing).
Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, noted that the Town feels that this Local Law
was needed to keep people from parking on the pavement in the area of Smith Crossing Road,
Maloney Road and Diddell Road. The County has recently built a new parking area for the Rail
Trail just off of Diddell Road, at the intersection of Smith Crossing Road and Diddell Road.
That parking area is working out extremely well.
Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, explained the locations of the no parking zones.
Councilman Beale asked what the hours of the Rail Trail are. He is concerned about
lighting on the roadways adjacent to the Rail Trail. Mr. Foster has not heard any concerns about
that issue.
Supervisor Colsey asked if there were any other comments. There were none.
Councilwoman Czamiecki made a motion to close the Public Hearing. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Beale and passed unanimously.

VIII. Discussions
A. Grinnell Library Presentation - Beale/Jessica Gonzalez
Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:13 PM. Councilman Beale introduced
Jessica Gonzalez, Executive Director of Grinnell Library. Ms. Gonzalez gave the Board a
presentation on the services provided by the Library. Councilman Beale thanked Ms. Gonzalez
for her presentation. Ms. Gonzalez invited the Board, and those members of the public that were
in attendance and watching the Town Board Meeting online, to call her at the Library or to visit
their website at www.grinnell-library.org. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:22 PM.
B. Road Paving - Czarniecki
Councilwoman Czarniecki opened the discussion at 7:25 PM. She asked Graham Foster,
Highway Superintendent, to speak about the topic.
Mr. Foster explained that he had asked the Board to consider doing some paving this
year. There is currently no money in the Budget to do paving. He is looking for $750,000,
which will pave approximately 5 miles of road. He went on to explain some factors that are
making the project more expensive. If the Board chooses to bond for the paving, he plans to
pave Edgehill Drive, Shale Drive, Montfort Road, Connors Road, Hamilton Road, Old State
Road East and Taryl Court. He explained that the Town has always paved on a "worst -first"
basis. These are the roads that he feels are in the worst condition. Supervisor Colsey noted that
the Board has received the memo from Mr. Foster. Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, asked if
Beth Ferguson's email got distributed. Supervisor Colsey confirmed and explained that Ms.
Ferguson is from Capital Market Advisors.
Councilman Beale recommended that the Board address the confusion that arises with
roads having similar names. Discussion followed.
Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:28 PM.

X. Items for Special Consideration
Supervisor Colsey Statement
Supervisor Colsey announced that he wishes to address some actions that are being
presented by Councilman Beale. He explained that he is not seeking re-election as Town
Supervisor. He has been offered a position that will enable him to continue his public service.
He has tendered his resignation, effective July 31 st, to the Town Clerk. He will be officiating at
the July 25th Town Board Meeting. He asked the Town Clerk to note that he has recused
himself from the items for special consideration. Councilman Beale afforded the Board
Members a moment to look over the Resolutions being added to the Agenda. He explained that
the Resolutions are relevant to the resignation of the Town Supervisor. The first Resolution
accepts the resignation of the Town Supervisor. The second Resolution directs the return of all
Town equipment. The third Resolution appoints an acting Town Supervisor. The fourth
Resolution designates a Budget Officer. The fifth Resolution has to do with the mechanical
check signing device that can no longer be used as a result of the Supervisor's resignation. The
sixth Resolution authorizes the solicitation of candidates for the appointment of an interim Town
Supervisor. The seventh Resolution appoints a representative to attend a meeting with the Office
of the State Comptroller that will take place on July 15th, 2011. Councilman Beale stated that it
would be in the best interest of the Board to have a Town Board Member present at the audit.
Councilman Paoloni pointed out that these items first need to be added to the Agenda.
He went on to say that there is no precedent in which compensation was paid to the Acting
Supervisor. He asked for clarification. Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, noted that he has not
seen the Resolutions. Councilwoman Czarniecki noted that she has not seen the Resolutions
either. She is only willing to accept the Resolution accepting the resignation, the Resolution
directing the return of the Town equipment and the Resolution for the mechanical check signing
device. She is not willing to consider any of the other Resolutions. She recommended tabling
all of the other Resolutions for a future Meeting.
Mr. Roberts asked if a formal letter of resignation has been submitted to the Town Clerk.
Town of Wappinger Page 8 Printed 7/18/2011
RPoidar Meeting Minutes July 11, 2011
The Town Clerk confirmed.
Councilman Paoloni stated that he does not vote to put any of these Resolutions on the
Agenda. He noted that, without unanimous consent, they can't be added. He feels that there is
still plenty of time before July 31 st for the Supervisor to submit his resignation. The Board
would then be able to understand what in the County is so pressing for the Supervisor to go to
with three-quarters of his term finished. Councilman Paoloni added that, with Councilman
Bettina not present, he does not feel that it would be appropriate to put the Resolution on the
Agenda. He stated that he accepts none of the Resolutions before the Board. Councilman Beale
asked that the Board Members take the Resolutions under consideration for a future Meeting.
The Board agreed. Mr. Roberts asked to be provided with copies of the Resolutions.
Councilman Paoloni asked if the Board should ask the Supervisor to return. Councilman Beale
noted that he is under the impression that the Supervisor's intention was to recuse himself from
the duration of the Meeting. Councilwoman Czamiecki stated that she is distressed that
Councilman Beale does not know what the Supervisor's intentions are. She asked if the Board
should end the Town Board Meeting. Councilman Beale answered that there is other business to
complete and it would not be necessary to end the Meeting. Councilman Paoloni asked if they
could try to contact the Supervisor. Discussion followed. Councilman Beale recommended
moving on to New Business.
XI. New Business
A. Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale gave an update on the installation of the sign in front of Town Hall.
B. Councilman Paoloni New Business
Councilman Paoloni noted that the purpose of the "Personnel Interviews" Executive
Session was to address a concern that was brought to the Board by Sal Morello, a Code
Enforcement Officer. He feels that the Board needs to have the Executive Session to meet with
Mr. Morello. Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, explained the issue for the Board. Discussion
followed.
C. Graham Foster New Business
Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent, noted that the Town has had a number of
significant storms since 2007 that have caused damage in the Hiview Road area. Part of Valley
Road was almost lost. There was a Town easement that came off of Hiview Road and split
towards Martin Drive and towards Valley Road. The Town had not done anything with the
easement in approximately 15 years. The storm eroded the Hiview Road section so that 100% of
the water was directed towards a resident's property. Mr. Foster and Mr. Gray, Engineer to the
Town, had made arrangements with a local contractor that was trying to get rid of 750-1000 tons
of rock. The rocks were used to restore the easement. The property owner has inspected the job
and is satisfied. Councilman Paoloni thanked Mr. Foster. Discussion followed.
Mr. Foster then noted that there is a new complaint about the deterioration of the
galvanized pipe in the Rockingham area. Another two yards of pipe are rotting through. This
presents a dangerous situation. This is the next project that Mr. Foster is proposing to take on.
He is proposing to use CHIPS money to complete the project. Mr. Gray estimates that this
project would cost around $65,000-$70,000, if put out to bid. If the work was done by the
Highway Department, the pipe could be purchased for less than $20,000 and could be installed
by Highway Department personnel. Discussion followed.
D. Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale asked the Town Clerk to comment on the treasure chest that was
sitting on top of the table. The Town Clerk, Chris Masterson, explained that the treasure chest
was part of the Great Wappinger Treasure Hunt. The Treasure Hunt is running now and goes
b' through to Community Day. Anyone interested in taking part in the Treasure Hunt can find
more information on the Town of Wappinger website.
