The foregoing was put to a vote which resulted as follows: Dated: Wappingers Falls, New York June 11, 2012 The Resolution is hereby duly declared adopted. VII. Discussions A. Cub Scout Rail Trail Project - Gutzier Supervisor Gutzler introduced Mark Price, Recreation Director. He stated that they are contacted often from several organizations in regards community services. Cub scout Pack 40 Contact him regarding to doing community service for their pack. They decided that one of the memorials on the Dutchess County Rail Trail was in need of attention.

They have submitted a sketch of what they planned to do in that area. Councilwoman Czarniecki asked for the Cub Scout to speak. He was too shy. They would like the town to deliver the mulch and the soil for the scouts to complete the project. There were no abjections. Councilman Beale stated that this is consistent with the mission of the town to beautify and maintain the Rail Trail. He added that the county should be kept in the loop and this was another, example of scouting directly benefiting the town. Supervisor Gutzler state that she would contact the county and then make arrangements for getting the mulch and soil. If there are any issues they will get back to the pack. B. MS4 Audit - Gutzler Supervisor Gutzler explained that MS 4 is a storm water management program. The DEC has decided to audit Wappinger and several other towns a head of time. Walter Artus, SWMP Coordinator, explained that he was notified by Jennifer Zunino-Smith, Storm water Specialist, DEC, that they would be conducting an audit for the Town of Wappinger. In 2009 the town was audited and received a satisfactory. So the next time the town should be up for an audit would have been around 2014. He called the DEC and questioned the timing of the audit. He was told that there was nothing in the regulation that stated it had to be every five years. Basically they can audit when they want. They seem to be auditing the towns they audited early. His concerns were with the impact on the budget. Supervisor Gutzler questioned the expense stating that it's an unfunded mandate that was not budgeted for. Mr. Artus stated he believed he could get his hours down to less than 25 hours. He is working with the town of LaGrange. In preparation for that he may be able to use some of the same information as well as the information gathered from the past audit. The supervisor thanked Mr. Arcus for attending and stated she was confident that everything will go well. Discussion continued C. Abandoned Homes-Gutz/er Supervisor Gutzler asked Barbara Roberti, Zoning Administrator, to update the board on the abandon properties in the town. Mrs. Roberti distributed a report to the board. She stated that they are seeing a lot of abandon homes and unfortunately the banks are not cooperating. Some of the homes on the list she does have contracts pending to clean up the homes. The contractors that are going to the homes are mowing only, not weed whacking or trimming bushes. Ms. Roberti added that some of the properties on the list are not in foreclosure. If the property is not in foreclosure then the banks will not get involved. It becomes a problem when people leave the area and cannot be tracked down. Supervisor Gutzler stated that she put this on the agenda because there have been a lot phone calls. The town cannot just take a mower and mow the properties. There are legal procedures that must be followed and the town is taking the legal measures necessary to correct the problem. She added that the goal is not to have as many abandon properties as they have in other municipalities. Attorney to the Town, Al Roberts stated that many of the issues will be covered in the new law. Due process allows the town to serve the owner. Although is sounds simple it can be involved. He explained a situation where there is no court appointed administrator. If the board wanted to go that far they could apply to the court to get a court appointed administrator for the purposes of the property code violations. He explained his concerns with this process. Councilman Beale expressed his concerns with the high grass of some of the properties and the tick deceases. Al Roberts stated that due process takes time and it is a budgetary issue.

Mr. Stolman explained that he has a draft ordinance and it has to go to the DEP. It will be ready for review by the next meeting. There is a real need to get this done quickly. Councilman Bettina stated that he has been trying to get this done for years. He expressed his concerns. Councilman Beale questioned how to respond to a resident that say there will be a band at the local bar and it will be loud. Who do they call when the law enforcement agency will not enforce the code? He hopes the new codes will solve that current situation. He questioned who has the power to tell the establishment to turn it off and how does the town gain the authority to do that. Al Roberts explain that it is twofold.

Neighbors that live near the parks that can help keep an eye on them. He added that the Village of Wappingers Falls had them and it seemed like a good idea. The resident could report to Steve and maybe open gates and close them, so the parks can be open all day. He would like to consider this idea during the next budget.. Ralph Holt stated that they did have a resident at Martz Field and Spook Hill Park to keep an eye on the park. They were reluctant because they are afraid.

Supervisor Gutzler Supervisor Gutzler stated that John Lawrence was before the board a few weeks ago regarding the establishing of a Maloney Rd water district. The board was given an analyst of cost for the project. Supervisor Gutzler stated that it is her opinion that it is not a good idea for the Town to establish another water district, due to the prohibited expense to the Town and to the home owner being the primary reason. She requested permission from the board to send a letter to John Lawrence stating that the Town is unable to per sue the Maloney Road sewer district and that it is recommended he work with the Dutchess County Water and Waste Water Authority to Town of Wappinger Page 8 Printed 6/20/2012 Town Board Meeting Minutes June 11, 2012 bring water to that area. All members were supported. Councilman Beale stated that he agreed with the decision but that the residents in that area needs to understand when they become part of the Dutchess County Waste Water district that they are part of the Dutchess County District not the Town of Wappinger. X. New Business Supervisor Gutzler Supervisor Gutzler stated that she would like the permission to auction off the two patrol cars that are at the Highway Garage. She would also like a separate auction for the Supervisors car. She does not use it. She prefers to use her own vehicle. The blue book of the car is around $10,000.00 or $11,000.00. That would come to the town. She would like to put a minimum bid on the car to try to get good return on it. If the town doesn't get what they would like then go to the County auction. Steve Frasier stated that the county holds an auction with a tremendous draw and may that the town might have better exposure at the county level rather than a public notice in the paper. Supervisor Gutzler questioned if the town would get the amount of money they are looking for through the town. Councilman Kuzmicz questioned if the vehicle could be used in another area of the town. He doesn't want to get rid of this one if it could be used somewhere else. Councilman Beale stated that there is an extra car. The Impala has a lumbar issue. He added that maybe the supervisor could talk to Sergeant Begor about selling it at a police auction. Councilman added that he would like to see a reserve of money. Supervisor Gutzler stated that the money they can get from the vehicle would go back to the town. Councilman Kuzmicz stated that he is in favor of selling the vehicle if they are sure there isn't another use anywhere in the town. Councilman Beale stated that he wanted to ensure that by auctioning this vehicle off it does not imply that there isn't a need for a supervisor's vehicle. There have been plenty of emergency situations that warrant a need for a vehicle. Councilman Bettina added that he feels the idea of giving money back to the town is great but that there should be a provision for future purchases and that the supervisor's vehicle be a small SUV. The next item Supervisor Gutzler wanted to discuss was about the infrastructure of the town. She spoke with Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent and Bob Gray, Engineer to the Town, about forming a Committee. She would like it to consist of one Council person and at least one resident with input for Mr. Foster and Mr. Gray. The committee could assess the town's needs and report to the Town Board. Councilman Bettina volunteered to be on the committee. XI. Executive Session Motion To: go into executive session for the purpose of legal advise Motion To: come out of executive session XII.
