Adjournment The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held December 7, 1967, at the Town Hall, Mill St. Wappingers Falls, New York. The Supervisor opened the meeting at 7:37 P.M. Public discussion was held. The meeting was called to order at 8:52 P.M. Mr. Bulger moved the minutes of Oct. 26, Nov. 9, Nov. 30 as submitted by the Town Clerk be and they are hereby approved, seconded by Mr. Francese. Motion Unanimously Carried. The Reports from the Building Inspector, Justices and Supervisor were received and ordered placed on file. Bills were presented in the following amounts: General Fund $ 9,339.30 Highway $ 8,792.47 Oakwood 7,911.67 Rockingham.... 186.62 Wildwood Drive 15,528.24 (highway) Mr. Bulger moved the bills be paid subject to audit, seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried. A request was received from John Delano, Superintendent of Transporta- tion (Wappinger Central School) suggesting the Town request from the State Transportation Dept. a "No Through Traffic" sign be placed at the NE corner of the old Route 9 and Myers Corners Rd. as this road northbound, presents a dangerous traffic condition. Request tabled. Mr. Clausen reported on the Board's request to discus with Mr. John Delano, the placement of the trip for the traffic signal at Old Route 9 and Myers Corners, Middlebush Rd. Mr. DeLano had jndicated to him that if the trip, was installed East-West and operated in the same time sequence as the traffic light on Myers Corners Rd. and new Route 9 intersection this would be favorable. As there was still some doubt regarding the order from the N.Y. State Dept. of Transportation, Mr. Bulger suggested that Mr. Lapar be asked to review the orders, and that if it does not meet with Mr. Delano's recommendation to ask him, on the Boards' behalf, to call this request to the attention of the N.Y. State Department of Transportation. 7 Mr. James Thomann requested that the Town accept, as Town roads, Shale Drive, Dillon Court, Plum Court, Short Court and Long Court in Edgehill Manor Section II. The Superintendent of Highways recommended that the Town accept these roads in Section 11 Edgehill Manor as Town Roads. When asked by the Board for his recommendation, on these roads, Mr. Lapar reported that he had not been out this week to inspect them, but the Town still needed to receive the deeds. Request was referred to the Attorney to the Town and the Engineer to the Town. A petition was received from residents of the Orchard Homes Develop- ment (Spookhill Rd. & Old Hopewell Rd.) requesting to be included in the Town's plan, for a sewerage system. Mr. Quinn commented that the area involved inthis petition is present- ly included in the perimeter of the proposed North Wappinger Sewer District (L&A) area. Rules were suspended to permit Mr. Ralph Relyea a few words with the Board. He asked that this area be included in the basic extension of the District. He also asked if the Board could give a time element, and when he was told that there couldn't be any definite time given, asked Mr. Fulton if he could have a letter for the Board of Health stating the Board's intent. Mr. Fulton asked Mr. Lapar if he would see that Mr. Relyea got a letter that he could present to the Board of Health. Rules were resumed. Mr. Maurice Phillips, attorney for Central Park Homes Subdivisions, requested a meeting with the Town Board to discuss arangements for sewage disposal service and water service in this subdivision. Mr. Fulton said that as the engineers had..not submitted their final plans and detailed maps little could be accomplished. A similar request was received from James Coombs on behlf of Spook Hill Estates. Mr. Bulger suggested that a letter be directed to these two attorneys indicating that a meeting would be arranged as soon as Adler -Brenner L submitted their final reports. The following letter was received: Nov. 22, 1967 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill St. Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Wappinger Apartments Second Corp. v. Town of Wappinger Gentlemen: The above captioned proceeding was brought to compel the Town of Wappinger and.its highway superintendent to remove a barrier situate at the southerly end of Dorothy Heights Road, thereby converting such road from a dead-end street to a through street. The matter was argued before Mr. Justice Hoyt in New York Supreme Court at New City, Rockland County, on June 5, 1967. On August 7, 1967, Mr. Justice Hoyt handed down a decision which was favorable to Wappinger and which dismissed the proceeding. On August 14, 1967 we wrote to you and advised you of that decision and forwarded a copy of the same to you. On August 21, 1967, a judgment was made on Mr. Justice Hoyt's decision. The same was entered in the Rockland County Clerk's office. On September 8, 1967 petitioner moved for reargument in New York Supreme Court, Rockland County. The motion for reargument was referred by the presiding judge to Mr. Justice Hoyt for decision. At that time,, your body directed this firm tooppose the new applica- tion. The application for reargument came on before Mr. Justice Hoyt, and on November 16, 1967 such application was denied. A copy of the memorandum ,decision, favorable to Wappinger, is enclosed herewith. Very truly yours, s/ Joseph D. Quinn, Jr. A Public Hearing by the State of New York Public Service Commission Dec. 4, 1967, on the rates and charges of Fleetwood Water Works Corp. for water service had been held. Mr. Fulton attended and reported no decision had been handed down as yet. A letter was received from Louis Alpert, president Dutchess Heights, Inc. informing the Board that they were in the process of "under - grounding" their public utility lines in their subdivision (Angel Brook Estates) and asked if the Board had any suggestions to offer. 766 Mr. Francese commented that he thought it was a wonderful step forward for the community to have underground service. Approval of the Sewer System for Ye Olde Apple Orchard Section II - Rockingham Farm Sewer District, by the State of N.Y. Dept. of Health was received. The following letters were received: Nov. 16, 1967 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York Re: Rockingham Sewer District Infiltration Tests Gentlemen: We have today, accompanied by Mr. Mike Morris, P.E., of the Dutchess County Health Department, observed infiltration tests on the Edgehill, Rockingham and Dutchess Estates subdivisions sewer systems. We find that the sewer systems in the subdivisions noted, above comply with the -minimum standards established by the issuance of discharge permits by the New York State Health Department. We wish, however, to make the following reservations: (1) That section of sewer in the Edgehill Manor Section 111 subdivision from M.H. 31 to M.H. 21A located along Pye Lane shall be re-evaluated inethe spring of 1968, under conditions of maximum ground -water conditions. Until such re-examination the acceptance -of this section shall be considered tentative. (2) The sewer system of the Rockingham Section 1 subdivision shall be re-evaluated in the spring of 1968 under conditions of maxi- mumground water conditions. Until such re-examination,, the acceptance of this section shall be considered tentative. Very truly yours, s/ Vincent C. Kelley, P.E. November 21, 1967 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls New York Re: Infiltration -Rockingham Sewer District Ye Olde Apple Orchard, Inc. Gentlemen: We received, today, from Mr. Vincent Dangler, Vice President of Ye Olde Apple Orchard, Inc., a copy of a contract with Penetryn System, Inc. for 71.V. inspection and sealing of.necessary sections of the "Ye Olde Apple Orchard" sewer system. The estimated time of completion of the work is four (4) weeks. We recommend, therefore, that this developer be granted the necessary time extension to complete this repair work. Very truly yours, s/Vincent C. Kelley, P.E. Mr. L. Clausen stated that the Building Inspector had already resumed action and no further action by the Town Board is necessary at this time. Mrs. Snowden stated that she had received the resignation of James Mills, Jr. from the Zoning Board of Appeals - effective January 1, 1968. Mr. Francese moved that the Board accept the letter of resignation with the utmost thanks to Mr. Mills for serving on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Seconded by Mr. Bulger. Motion Unanimously Carried. Mr. Bulger, as ,the Town's representative on the Fishkill, Wappinger and Casper Creeks Drainage Basins=Comprehensive Sewerage Study Comm- ittee, reported that this Committee had received the report of the engineering firm, which has been approved by N. Y. State - they have accepted the report and forthwith submitted to the Town Clerk one copy of the Report and 2 copies of the summary. When Mr. Fulton asked Mr. Bulger what the next step was he replied that at the last meeting of the Committee, the next step was to send a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors recommending the estab- ishment of a County Sewerage Agency, which in turn would, using this report, establish a part -county District in the Southern Dutchess area. Mr. Bulger further asked that he be relieved as this Board's represen- tative, as he felt that a direct member of this Town Board be the repre- sentative. Mr. Clausen thanked Mr. Bulger for his diligent time-consuming efforts on behalf of the Town in aiding in the formation of this Report. He felt that recognition was certainly due him for his deligence. Mr. Fulton added that Mr. Clausen's thanks and comments also went for the whole Board. Mr. Bulger expressed his admiration for the spectacular achievement of the Wappinger Central School District Football Team in not only having been undefeated, but unscored upon. He felt that it would be nice if this Board gave that organization some recognition for their outstanding performance. Mr. FultQn.proposed_the following resolution: WHEREAS, it appears that the ROY C.. KETCHAM HIGH SCHOOL - - FOOTBALL SQUAD has completed an undefeated 1967 season, with seven victories and one tie, under the coaching of Kenneth Lynn and Ralph Paoness, and WHEREAS, such an accomplishment is worthy of recognition, the team also being co -champions of the Dutchess County Scholastic League, and WHEREAS, this outstanding team also finished the season unscored on, a feat unprecedented in Dutchess County sports history, and. WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger to congratulate the team members, Coaches Lynn and Paonessa, the Cheerleaders, teachers, administrators, students and others lend- ing moral support which aided in bringing the team to victory, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Supervisor, Joseph H. Fulton, Town Councilmen Louis Clausen and Louis Diehl, Justices of the Peace William H. Bulger and Vincent Francese, and other officials and employees of the Town of Wappinger do hereby extend heartiest congratulations to the victorious ROY C. KETCHAM HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM, Coaches Kenneth Lynn and Ralph Paonessa, and further compliment the Administration, teachers, students and other spectators who give moral support and demonstrated fine sportsmanship during the entire 1967 football season. Seconded by Mr. Bulger. Motion Unanimously Carried. Mr. Francese had not had an opportunity to discuss with Mr. Fulton or Mr. Diehl his plans - therefore, withheld reporting on ideas for expanding office space. Mr. Diehl submitted a report for Board approval, on behalf of the Lighting Committee, on Central Hudson's plan to erect a new street _ _ 1 light at Route 9 at Fowlerhouse Road and 2 more lights directly across the street where old Route 9 exits and enters at 2 different entrances. Also, a light will be removed at the blocked off section of Old Mac- farlane Road (and Town given credit). The second report, which completes all of the intersections onto the new Route 9, consisted of 4 more lights, one at South Fowlerhouse Road, 2 at Smithtown Road one on each side of the street - 1 (by N.&S. Supply) where old Route 9 comes back on new Route 9. Mr. Bulger moved that the Supervisor be empowered to sign these Street Lighting Authorizations to Central Hudson to install the lights so 763 specified, and remove the one light so specified. Seconded by Mr. Francese. Motion Unanimously Carried, Mr. Clausen pointed out that he felt that new Route 9 presents a problem in the Myers Corners area specifically with regard to traffic wishing to make either a North or Southbound lane turn, and wondered if it couldn't be suggested that indicating arrow lights be installed (similar to the Hudson Plaza area) and further suggesting this be communicated to the New York State Department of Transportation. Mr. Bulger suggested that Mr. Lapar be asked to present the Board with a concrete recommendation that could be forwarded to the State, Hope- well Road to be included in the investigation. Referred to Engineer. The following report was read: November 30, 1967 Town Board Town Clerk'sOffice Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Local Law No. 2, 1967 Gentlemen: As members of the Town Water Committee, and in accordance with your request, we have examined the proposed Local Law No. 2, 1967, and the following is our analysis, conclusions, and recommendations. Throughout the proposed law, there are many implications, ambiguous terms and overlapping of jurisdiction, which we feel would.create many undue hardships onproperty owners whose installations have been in existence for many years and who have been operating within the scope of the law. The proposed law is impractical from the viewpoint of maintenance and operation of existing systems, since it would penalize any individual or corporation at the rate of $100 per day in the event they desire to make repairs on their own installations without consulting with the Town Board. In times of emergency, the delays could cause serious repercussions and fatalities. The proposed law is delinquent insofar as not specifying any standards under which a proposed installation can be guided. In addition to which, it places too much authority on the Town Engineer, who would have jurisdiction over applications without standards and in many instances, without time limitations. The Town, under this law, could confiscate properties under the heading of "abandonment" which -would result in litigation and heavy legal costs to both the town and the property owner. The Committee also feels that a determination should be made as to whether -or not any corporation holds an exclusive franchise to operate and extend water lines within a specified territory. Instead of the proposed law which could conceivably create many problems that it could not solve, the Committee recommends the following: 1. Formation of a Water Committee comprised of knowledgable people, irregardless of political affiliation, to make an engineering study of All Angels Hill area, with the thought in mind of installing storage tanks, and in turn supply the area with water. Additional conaideration should be given to this area since it holds great promise as a future location for industry, particularly if the area is serviced with utilities. Necessary funds should be allocated to this committee to make the study, engage engineering services in order to complete the report, the merits of which will be decided by the Town Board. 2. Upon completion of the study and its acceptance, a Water Board should be created consisting of knowledgable people with dedication and experience in this field. The Board would have the authority and responsibility in conjunction with the Town Engineer to either accept or deny applications for proposed installations, and also have juris- diction over existing installations where they do not comply with the New York State Department of Health and other governmental agencies under whose jurisdiction they fall. 3. Investigate the possibility of using the New York City water supply at Chelsea. Available information indicates that the installation presently is not operating at capacity and is circulating 50 million gallons of water per day and returning it to the Hudson River, We thank you for the opportunity to serve on the Water Committee and hope that we were of service to the Town of Wappinger. Sincerely, s/ Joseph Fries Harold Myers Vincent Brancato Mr. Clausen moved that the Town Board accept the report from the Committee, with thanks, seconded by Mr. Bulger. Motion Unanimously Carried. Bids had been sought by the Highway Superintendent for snow plow equipment and material spreaders. Bids for 2 chassis mounted material spreaders had been received and opened for November 30, 1967 and bids had been received and opened for snow plow equipment for 2 trucks on December 6, 1967. The 2 bids received for the material spreaders were: H.O. Penn Machinery Co. Inc. @ Ralph C. Herman Co. Inc. @ $6,495.00 5,998.00 One bid was received for snow plow equipment for 2 trucks: Hudson River Sales Corp. @ $8,915.00 The Highway Superintendent recommended Ralph C. Herman Co. Inc. be awarded the bid for the 2 snow plows and H.O. Penn Co. Inc. be awarded the bid for 2 material spreaders. 77e Mx. Quinn brought out the fact that as there were no current funds available for the purchase of this equipment, the bids would have to be subject to the new Boards approval and also that written acknow- ledgement should be obtained from the bidders that the bid will still be good in January 1968 and they should sbbmit acknowledgement of approval. Mr. Diehl moved that the Board accept the recommendation of Knua Clausen, Highway Superintendent and accept the low bid of Ralph C. Herman for 2 Material Spreaders @ $5,998.00 and Hudson River Sales Corp. for snow plow equipment. for 2 trucks @ $8,915.00; and that both of these bidders be notified and also Mr. Petrovits, County Superinten- dent of Highways be notified that these bids have been accepted, subject to the formal acceptance of these bids by the new Town Board and new Highway Superintendent in January 1968 and the terms so stated in the bids will still hold true; and request a confirmation of these low bids from the 2 companies concerned for delivery and installation in January 1968. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Roll Call Vote: Mr. Clausen --- Aye, Mr. Francese --- Aye, Mr. Bulger ---Nay, Mr. Diehl ---Aye Mr. Fulton ---Aye. Mr. Francese moved that the Board hold the annual audit meeting on Thursday, December 28, 1967 at 7:30 P.M. at the Town Hall. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried. Mr. K.'Clausen extended an invitation to Mr. William Horton to come up to the Town Garage at any time to get acquainted with the boys and operations. Mr. Bulger reminded the Board that at a joint meeting of the old and new Boards they had agreed to set a date for a PublicHearing in regard to a proposed change in the Zoning Ordinance affecting the area surrounding Route 9. Mr. Bulger moved that the date of January 18, 1968 be established at 8 P.M., for a Public Hearing on the proposed change in the Zoning Ordinance. Seconded by Mr. Francese. M$oton Unanimously Carried.

Re: Proposed Town of Wappinger Local Law No. 2, Year 1967, pro- viding for regulation of water supply and distribution systems Gentlemen: 7 7 3' In December of 1966, we prepared and submitted for your considera- tion a piece of local legislation to control and regulate water supply and distribution systems in the Town of Wappinger. During the same month a public hearing was held with respect to the proposed legislation. Many Comments and objections were raised with respect to the same. It was decided that the proposed measure be re -drafted and re -presented. Early;ir+the year 1967, we wrote to -each of you and asked for suggestions as to matter which you might want incorporated in or deleted from the first draft of the proposed legislation. Two or three of the board members made concrete suggestions. On April 5, 1967, we prepared and submitted to you a second draft of the proposed local law. The same was presented and intro- duced at a meeting of your body held on April 6, 1967. The matter was tabledLso that a committee might be appointed to make a study thereof and to present recommendations with respect thereto. The committee was appointed during the month of May, 1967, but no report has been presented. At your last meeting, the supervisor requested that action be taken on the proposed local law at the meeting to_be_held on November 30, 1967. If such action is to be taken, a public hearing must be conducted by your body. At least five day's notice of such public hearing should be given by publication and posting. A resolution has been submitted to you fixing the time and place for the holding of such a hearing and prescribing the method of giving notice thereof. Copies of an appropriate form of notice have been prepared and delivered to the Town Clerk to be completed and used if you adopt the resolution. After a public hearing has been conducted action may be taken on the proposed legislation. An affirmative vote of a simple majority of the entire voting strength of your body is required for adoption. If you see fit to act favorably upon the subject measure, your action will not be subject to either mandatory or permissive referen- dum procedure. Very truly yours, s/ Joseph D.

Mr. Quinn answered that it was within the purview of Article 9 of the Constitution (of the State) and the Municipal Home Rule Law. Rules resumed. Mr. Fulton brought up for discussion again the road program (most recently discussed at the Nov. 30th meeting). A motion had, at that time, been defeated, but he would like the Board to reconsider this motion.

Seconded by Mr. Bulger. Motion Unanimously Carried. The following request from the Supervisor was received: Nov. 17, 1967 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Billings for Rockingham Farms Sewer District Gentlemen: On April 6, 1967 the Board adopted a tentative rate of $70.00 per home, per year operational costs for Rockingham Farms Sewer District. The Town of Wappinger began operation of the district effective Nov. 1, 1966. On June 30th, 1967 billings were sent out to all property owners receiving service covering the period from Nov. 1, 1966 to May 31, 1967. Billings were mailed with the attached letter, and follow the same penalty policy as that adopted for the Oakwood Knolls property owners. Many of these charges have not been paid . Up to the present time, bills submitted for payment and approved have been paid out of the Capital Fund for the Rockingham Farms Sewer District, i.e. the $240.00 hook up fees received upon issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These monies are to be replaced when the operational fees are received. In view of past experience with Oakwood Knolls when the billings first began, I recommend the interest charges for the June 30th billings be waived and new billings be mailed covering the balance of the year, i.e., June 1, to Dec. 31, 1967 along with a copy of the adopted policy herewith submitted. In addition, an explanatory letter will be enclosed.. POLICY FOR THE BILLING AND COLLECTION OF MONIES FOR THE ROCKINGHAM FARMS SEWER DISTRICT SERVICES. 1. All interest charges incurred prior to June 1, 1967 are waived. 2. Rate is tentatively set at $70.00 per year for service. 3. Billings for the period June 1, 1967 to December 31, 1967 are to be mailed no later than November 27th, 1967, 4. Town Hall personnel will refuse any and all partial payments. Payments must be made in full, i.e, charges plus penalties, if any. 5. Full payment is due in the hands of Town Hall personnel 15 days from date of billing, without penalty. A 5% penalty will be imposed on payments made within 30 days from due date. A 10/ penalty of the unpaid balance will be imposed thereafter. Therefore, bills dated November 27, 1967 are due for payment December. 12, ,1967, 5% penalty if paid after December 12 but on or before January 11, 1968 and, 10% penalty if paid after January 11, 1968. Mr. Diehl moved to accept the Supervisors recommendation and adopt the policy for the billing and collection for the Rockingham Farms Sewer District. Seconded by Mr. Bulger. Motion Unanimously Carried. Mr. Clausen asked if the letters had been sent to the home owners in Oakwood Knolls regarding the billings, as had been suggested at the last meeting. Mr. Fulton said he didn't know if Mrs. Crosby had sent them or not. Mr. Clausen asked that they would be sent if they hadn't been. Motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Francese, seconded by Mr. Bulger and Unanimously Carried. Meeting adjourned at 10:24 P.M. c O A lL1.SZ eM C Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk To Joseph H.
