Public Comment
Supervisor Gutzler opened the floor for public comment. She asked that the public keep their
comments brief since there are a lot of people, that they come to the front and state their name
and address for the record. The first resident to speak was Mary Schmalz. She referred to a
document in the correspondence log that pertained to rezoning and low income housing. She
stated that the town has low income housing. Ms. Schmalz stated that what the town needs is
medium income housing. The seniors are leaving because it needs medium income housing. She
then reminded the board that March 20`" is the Town's Birthday and that the town will be 137
years old. Supervisor Gutzler state that March 20'' is also the Village of Wappingers Falls
elections.
Councilman Bettina asked the Supervisor if she would allow two constituents to speak pertaining
to a noise issue they have. Supervisor Gutzler stated that normally comments are held to agenda
items only. Councilman Beale stated that he had no objection as long as they yield to the
residents that have comments relevant to agenda items. Councilman Bettina stated that the board
is working on a stricter noise ordinance and that they just haven't been able to go forward with it.
He stated that the residents' had a complaint about a noise issue He then invited the residents to
speak. The residents, Thomas Senior, Barbara Senior and Jim Alishevsky explained that they
have a problem with a homemade quad and dirt bike trail in the neighborhood. The neighbor
rides all day and they are forced to listen to the noise. Mrs. Senior stated that she was surprised
to see that the noise ordinance is in effect from lam to Bpm. She understood that a new noise
ordinance was going to be adopted and wrote the Supervisor and Councilman Bettina a letter
stating their concerns. She added it's going to make for an awful summer listening to the noise
since it's only March and they had to listen to the noise all day. Supervisor Gutzler asked the
Town Attorney, Al Roberts, if the residents had any recourse. Mr. Roberts explained that they
could call the police, but as Councilman Bettina stated they are in the process of adopting a new
noise ordinance and in it there will be provisions as to the level of noise during the waking hours.
Mr. Senior stated that it's more than waking hours; the noise is disturbing his quality of life.
Councilman Bettina stated that the board and the planner are looking into a more restrictive
ordinance but as of now their hands are tied. Mr. Alishevsky stated that the resident, with the dirt
bikes, property abuts his property. That resident is also riding on Locus Drive which is a paper
road and thinks he shouldn't be riding on that road either. He added that technically half of the
road belongs to him. Councilman Bettina stated that it was probably a civil matter. The Town
Attorney, Al Roberts, stated that if the road has not been dedicated than generally the abutting
land owners own to the center line. It probably would be a civil matter. He added that the
ordinance will involve training of individuals with sound meters and it is just getting to its final
stages now. He thinks it should be ready to be introduced in April. Mr. Alishevsky cited a penal
code to which Mr. Roberts stated that the town doesn't enforce penal law that is a civil matter.
Councilman Beale questioned at what point it becomes trespassing. Mr. Roberts explained that a
paper road is being offered to the municipality until it is accepted the title of it rest with the
abutting land owners. He added that if the land owners posted it, trespassing could then be
enforced. Councilman Beale questioned where the track was located. The resident stated that it
was on the owner's property. Councilman Bettina stated that he understood that it was on private
property but he was trying to find some relief for these residents. Discussion continued

U
A. Presentation: E.J. Prescott Co. re Water Meters for the Town :20
Mike Tremper, from Camo Polution Control, explained the meters the Town currently uses and
how they work. He stated that the system currently being used is 30 years old and is obsolete. In
order to replace parts Debbie Brown, water and sewer billing clerk, has been calling other
municipalities to get equipment that they are no longer using. He added soon there won't be any
parts available. Mark Brady, the regional manager for E.J. Prescott Company, explained the
operation of the old meters and functions. He stated that the meters have disks that oscillate as
the water goes through. The minerals in the water slow the disks down, which affect the register
on the meter, slowing it down. Although the parts can be changed, the parts now costs as much
as the meter. The new meter has magnets which oscillate it's polarities inside and measures the
ions. The old meter measures a'/ gallon of water, the new meter measures 1/32 of a gallon.
These new meter integrate the technology now as well as into the future. Supervisor Gutzler
stated that the replacement of the meters is needed. There are about 2500 meters in the town that
are leaking and the parts are no longer available. She stated that people are using excessive water
and it is affecting the resident's bill because they are being charged for water that other people
are using. The Board asked E.J. Prescott Company to speak to the board because they feel the
meters really need to be updated. Mr. Brady explained that the technology now will go from the
touch read to electronically reading using a walk -by hand held device to putting a device in
vehicle and getting 800 readings in an hour without going on a residents property and lastly will
be able to have Ms. Brown pull the reads from an area without leaving her desk. He stated that
the meters are all adoptable to the new technology. Councilman Bettina stated that he would like
to see a benefit analyst done. Councilman Beale questioned if the town had the ability to find out
what the unaccountable use of water is. Mr. Tremper stated that it would be a lot of effort by
Debbie. They did do analyst a few years ago for the budget process. They came up with 85%
accountability. He stated that the town needs a system that can read the meters. Supervisor
Gutzler stated that if the meters can't be read the resident is charged the minimum and in some
cases they are being charged too much in some not enough. Councilman Beale questioned if the
town has 85% accountability why in this economical times do they need to replace the meters.
Mr. Tremper stated that water is an important commodity and you want to keep a handle on it.
People should be paying for what they use. If there isn't an accurate metering system in place it
will be hard to create a pay as you go system. He added that Debbie is still sending out cards for
the resident to read their own meters. Discussion continued. Councilman Kuzmicz thanked Mr.
Tremper for his quick response to the Pye Lane water issue.
B. Rebuilding Together fee waivers - Gutzler :05
Supervisor Gutzler stated that Rebuilding Together has a list of homes that they will be working
on and they have asked to have the building fees waived. They will still need to get the permits
but the fees will be waived. Supervisor Gutzler made the motion to waive the fees seconded by
Councilman Kuzmicz. All were in favor.

C. Septic repairs at the Emergency Services Building - Gutzler :10
Supervisor Gutzler state that the septic pipe for the Emergency Service building rotted. She
commended Steve Frasier and John Sullivan for the work that they did outside. The problem was
that the pipe inside the building is rotted and broke through the concrete and needs to be replaced
and that time is of the essence. The State Troopers have to move to the Transcare portion of the

building. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, explained that in an emergency, the situation can be
handled in the manner the Supervisor sees fit. In an emergency the competitive bidding policy is
waived. He added that if they see fit, they should declare an emergency get the quotes under the
direction of Bob Gray and Steve Frasier, then get the work done. Supervisor Gutzler questioned
how she declares an emergency. Mr. Roberts stated that the board can adopt a resolution
declaring an emergency at the Emergency Service building in connection with the required pipe
repairs for the septic discharge. Supervisor Gutzler stated The Town Board declares an
emergency at the Emergency Services Building for the purpose of the emergency repairs to the
in ground piping system leading to the septic. The motion was made by Councilman Beale,
seconded by Councilman Kuzmicz all where in favor. Steve Frasier thanked Mike Tremper from
Camo Polution for sending guys over to help them get it back on line. Supervisor Gutzler
thanked Steve and John again for their work

D. Soccer Fields at Rockingham & Airport Parks - Gutrier :05
Supervisor Gutzler had a memo from Mr. LaPurch from the United Soccer League in regard to
the drainage issues and vandalism at Airport Park and Rockingham. He stated someone had done
wheelies on the fields leaving ruts. Steve Frasier stated that he did receive a complaint by phone
but when they went out there they couldn't find any significant damage.
E. Recycle Center sticker & permit sales - Gutzler :10
Supervisor Gutzler stated that the Town Clerk asked her to bring to the attention of board the fact
that residents are complaining that the permits they are purchasing now, have already lost 3
months. She asked the board to consider the selling of the stickers on a cumulative year rather
than a calendar year. Councilman Beale stated that he would like to keep the permits on the color
coded annual permits. He continued saying that they will not have real credible numbers until the
last quarter of 2013. If they start changing things now they will have a moving target. He feels
keeping it the way it is, is the only way to have a definitive number. Councilman Bettina stated
that the fishing license is sold the same way. They are not prorated. Councilman Kuzmicz stated
he was not on the board when the plan was put in place. He feels that to change the plan would
change the structure and that the town is already hemorrhaging money and it's only going to get
worse. He added he agreed with Councilman Beale and Bettina. A Resident stated that he agreed
with Councilman Beale, that since it is all color coded why change on a monthly bases. He
suggested prorating on a quarterly base for those people that move into the town or decide to use
it then, as the quarters go by just change the sticker. It's the same sticker it's only good for six
months so give it to them at a six month rate rather than pay for the annual rate. He added that
the color could stay the same; all the board would have to do is adopt a simple resolution.
Councilman Bettina stated that it was a good point. Supervisor Gutzler stated that maybe by the
27'' meet they could give the Town Clerk an answer as to whether to keep it as is or prorate.
Councilman Bettina stated that he wanted the residents to know that this is not a money making
proposition, there is a big deficit. He suggested that the board look at the hard numbers at the
next meeting to get a better idea. Councilman Beale stated that he would like to have a
discussion at the April 9d' meeting with about 20 minutes set aside for the discussion.
F. Safety issues at Robinson lanelLittle League and Capital Improvements
Supervisor Gutzler stated thatshe had a meeting with the officers of the Little League. They gave
her a list of items that need repairing before they can have an inspection done. The total cost is
about $25,000.00. She added most of which are capital improvement and would fall under Park
Land Trust. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, explained the procurement policy and the amendment
that is on the agenda. He continued stating that the original total for the repairs Little League
requested was over $40,00.00 and that they brought it down the figures by prioritizing the list of
repairs. Steve Frazier, Buildings and Grounds, stated that he has met with different fence
companies and he work orders need to have more details in order for him to get similar quotes.
Councilman Bettina asked what happened to the fence that was out as Robinson Lane. Mr.
Frazier stated that he didn't take it down, that it might have been Little League. Councilman

because it is town property.

Councilman Beale
Councilman Beale stated that some of the signs in the Town are showing their age. He wanted to
see if he could get some Town seal stickers to replace the ones that are almost worn away. He
would also like to paint the poles white to make them look nicer. Supervisor Gutzler stated that
they might be able to get residents to volunteer to help and may be able to get things donated.
Councilman Beale added that they were originally funded from Greenway funding and was
wondering if there was any money left to repair the signs. He added that the Recycle Center sign
needs to be updated with the proper administration on it. He suggested that at the very least, the
names of the individuals that are no longer in office be covered up so they are not getting phone
calls. He added that he will bring information on April 9t' to the Recycle Center discussion.
Councilman Bettina
Councilman Bettina stated that there are signs that need to be put up pertaining to the Local Law
that was passed with regards to parking on the streets. Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent,
reminded the board that there isn't any money in the budget. He stated that with the snow
ordinance in effect it hasn't been a major priority. Councilman Beale stated that the law that
stated all street signs needed to be replaced and made larger was repealed. Mr. Foster stated that
as they replace the sign, they are being replaced with the new signs with the large letter so they
are in compliance.
