Public Comment The first resident to speak was Gary Lindstrom. He asked for clarification of the line numbers that the board just voted on to restore back into the budget. Councilman Kuzmicz stated that they are the Buildings and Grounds lines. The next resident to speak was Joseph Incoronato. He suggested a cost analyst be done for the Carnwath Park. He stated that the investments over the years that the town has spent are in the tens of thousands of dollars to support and maintain the property. He suggested looking into other uses for the land, like a Christmas tree farm, a wind energy farm, solar panels or growing a high energy crop. The crop is used to make pellets for pellets stove. He added there should be some kind of goal for the use of the property. He suggested enlisting the help of Cornell Cooperative for suggested use of passive uses. He offered to be a mediator to get the people from Cornell to come and assess the land. Councilman Bettina offered his support. Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, offered the preservation covenant, that the county has describing the limited use of the land, which will need to be looked at when deciding the use of the land. The last resident to speak was Bill Emslie. He thanked the board as well as Steve Frazier for their support and help at the Dutchess County Sports Museum. He added that with the work that Mr. Frazier and his staff have done the place no longer looks like a dump. He would like to see the work continue and to keep status quo at least at Camwath Park. Councilman Beale questioned if the Winter Fest would be taking place. Mark Price, Recreation Town of Wappinger Page I Printed 11/14/2012 Special Meeting Minutes November 1, 2012 Director, stated that given the weather last year they will be waiting to see what the weather holds for this year. Councilman Beale added that he would like to see the events there. He feels that the more people that are aware of the park the more ideas may come for the use of the property. He added that he liked the ideas that Mr. Incoronato presented to the board. Supervisor Gutzler added that the board should make a plan for Carnwath a priority in the coming year.
