Others Present:
Allan Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town
Mr. Diehl explained that the purpose of calling this meeting was
to establish further facts in regard to the rates on the sewer
district in the L&A Filtration Corp. He then asked Mr. Rappleyea
to enlighten the public on what has been going on in this matter.
Mr. Rappleyea had been at a hearing in front, f Judge Slitkin in
the Supreme Court in the matter between the Town of Wappinger and
the L&A Filtration Corp. and their proposed increase in sewer rates.
The purpose of the hearing was to determine whether or not a temporary
injunction should be granted, pending a further determination by the
Town Board. He revealed that Mr. Lafko's attorney, Mr. Rubin had
suggested the opportunity of the Town establishing an interim rate
for the district, pending a further hearing. A rate of $120.00 as of
January 1, 1971, had been suggested by the Attorney, which would be
a flat rate without any gallonage or minimum gallons.
MR. MILLS moved that the present minimum rate should continue for
the Wildwood residents that was set forth in the resolution back in
1965, and the Town should proceed with the hearing in Court.
Seconded by Mr. Finnan.
Motion Unanimously Carried
MR. MILLS moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mr. Finnan and
unanimously carried.
The meeting adjourned at 7:56 P.M.
