The regular meeting of the Town of Wappinger Recreation Commission was
held March 6, 1986 at Town Hall, Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County,
New York.
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. with the following persons
present: Hugh J. Maurer, Chairman, Robert Blose, Director and Commission Members
Ellen Korz, Frank Presti, Mary Schmalz, Herb Stoller, Bill Wood and Town Councilman
David Reis.
T he first order of business was to interview two applicants for the
position of Maintenance Supervisor. Mr. Hugh J. Keenan of Newburgh and Mr. Peter
Konco of Poughkeepsie were the applicants. After a discussion of duties etc.,
a question was brought up regarding benefits available. Mr. Reis said he would
check with the Comptroller. Mr. Maurer is to meet with both applicants on
Tuesday, March 11th to show them the Recreation Areas. Mr. Keenan at 10:00 a.m.
and Mr. Konco at 4:30 p.m.
Mr. Maurer mentioned that he had received several calls regarding the
parking on Spook Hill Road. Cars are parking on both sideS of the road causing a
hazardous condition.
He also mentioned that a lot of junk has been deposited in front of
the gate at Castle Point. Washers etc are placed there so it is not possible
to open the gate.
ROBINSON LANE
Mr. Maurer mentioned he had attended the workshop with Mr. Shelley
regarding the proposed lake at Robinson Lane. The Board felt it might be a good
concept but beeause of Sprout Creek, felt tests should be done. Another point of
concern was the time frame of 10 possibly 11 years. Mr. Stoller felt that the
project shouldn't be dropped. Mr. Maurer said there are several different opinions
regarding the aquifer and Sprout Creek and he felt if we were concerned about the
project, we should do the study. The majority of our members feel we should pursue
it.
Mr. Reis asked us to get all the information available and present it
to the Town Board. The Board could then decide which way to go.
Mr. Maurer questioned Mr. Reis regarding the position of the Recreation
Commission. He noted that in the past the Commission was not approached for
recommendations and was not consulted regarding recreation matters. Little League

Pop Warner, Soccer, and Senior Citizens would go directly to the Supervisor for
addit~ona1 funds etc. Mr. Reis felt that the Recreation Commission should be
approached on these matters and felt we should be considered regarding such
decisions.
The minutes of the February 13th meeting were approved on a motion
by Mr. Stoller seconded by Mr. Wood. All were in favor.
SPOOK HILL
Mr. Maurer mentioned that he had been to the above site and noted
a problem with the drainage along the paths. A letter has been written to the
Town Board requesting the Engineer to the Town to visit the site to discuss the
situation.
SCHLATHAUS PARK
Mr. Maurer mentioned that BOCES is ready to work on the shelter for
the bandstand. The thought was that the Highway Department might be able to
help us transport it from the BOCES facility on Salt Point Road to the Park.
He also mentioned that if the students were unable to completely finish the
project we might have to hire someone to do it.
QUIET ACRES
A copy of a letter addressed to Supervisor Paino was forwarded to us
stating that the Engineer had visited the above site. In the letter ht stated
that there were 2 possible sites for the building but he felt a detailed survey
should be done to verify the exact property lines. We are now waiting for further
Town Board action.

School on Friday nights at 7:00.
