RECREATION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 12. 1987
NEXT MEETING DECEMBER 10, 1987 at 7:30 P. M.
The regular meeting of the Recreation Commission of the Town of
Wappinger was held November 12, 1987 at Town Hall, 20 Midd1ebush Road, Town
of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York.
Mr. Holt opened the meeting at 7:37 with the following persons
present: Ralph J. Holt, Chairman, Bernie Reimer, Director, Commission
Members Ellen Korz and Joseph Mastroianni and Maintenance Supervisor John
Vorndran.
Since there was no quorum, the minutes of the October meeting
could not be approved.
SENIOR CITIZENS
Mr. Mastroianni reported that the trip to Mt. Lakes, New Jersey
on November 10, 1987 went well. They had good weather and everyone was
pleased with the trip.
He also mentioned that a Mrs. Powers is the new Director of the
Dutchess County Senior Citizens Association and that she wants to meet with us
to go over our programs. The Association has contacted the Zion Church to
open up a new center since the K. of C. is now a private club "The Golden Age"
and they are not accepting any new people unless they are from the Village.
Mr. Mastroianni questioned whether a second place was feasible.
He mentioned that as far as he knew we still had not received the
money to buy the furniture for the Senior Citizen Room and to get the program
going. He felt that something should be done and we either have the Supervisor
follow up or he would be willing to do so. Mr. Holt mentioned we should send a
letter to the Supervisor and emphasize that we should be looking for a Director
for the Senior's Program.
(After the meeting Mrs. Paino sppke with Mr. Mastroianni and told
him that the money has been received and she has plans to buy furniture after the
first of January.)

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Reimer reported the following:
1. The Fall programs are underway and permission has been
received from the Wappinger Junior High to start the Open Basketball on
November 4th.
2. He has not gotten the quaites program going yet but hopes
to use rathy Yacove11i's Exercise and Volleyball Program and Laura Coombes
Open Adult Volleyball Program to get feelers regarding the quaites.
3. A problem has arisen regarding the winter Boys and Girls
gynmastics and he had a meeting scheduled with Mr. Biasotti but because of
the snow days the meeting was cancelled. Brenda Peura, a certified Physical
Ed. Teacher in Beacon, has said she would not do the program unless we are
able to use the better equipment and the Jr. High seems reluctant to give
us this equipment. Mr. Reimer is checking further on this.
4. The summer transportation bill received from the School has
been checked and has been approved for payment.
5. Mr. Reimer has purchased the sound system and it is presently
at his home until we can find storage space for it. Eventually we hope to
put it in the barn after the new doors are on. He will purchase a couple of
cassette tapes forthe Christmas Program.
6. John Jay Brass Ensemble and the Sweet Ade1ines are all set
for the Christmas program and they are working up some music for the evening.
Mr. Stoller arrived at 7:45 and Mr. Maurer arrived at 8:00 making
a quorum.
The minutes of the October 8, 1987 meeting were approved on a motion
by Mr. Mastroianni seconded by Mr. Maurer with all in favor.
CHRISTMAS PARTY
The party is scheduled for December 6 at 6:00 with a raindate of
the 13th. Mr. Reimer will be putting an ad in the paper and will include
Town of Wappinger Little League, John Jay Brass Ensemble and the Sweet Ade1ines.
The suggestion was brought up about collecting gifts for under-
privileged children and after a discussion it was decided not to do this.
Terry Fisher has agreed to be our Santa this year since Bill Wood will
be out of Town at that time.

wreaths for decorations. Mrs. Drennan and Mrs. Korz will help with the

CASTLE POINT
Mr. Holt reported that there has been no change at Castle Point
and the tires are still there.
SPOOK HILL RESTROOMS
A letter has been received from the New York State Office of
Parks and Historic Preservation regarding our request for funds from the
Environmental Quality Bond Act. It stated that our request for funds had not
been selected but that we could re-submit for next year's grant cycle. There
were no bids received for this restroom project when the bids were scheduled
to be opened on October 28th.
PASNY FUNDS
A letter has been forwarded to Supervisor Paino with our requests
for PASNY Funds for 1. Land, 2. Addition for Robinson Lane, 3. Quiet Acres
Building, and 4. Rehabilitation of Castle Point.
Little League has also mentioned that they want to seek funds to
put water in to the lower fields and to do some fencing. They mentioned that
if a choice had to be made that they would prefer that money be obtained for
our project request.
BUDGET 1988
A budget meeting was held with the Town Board. Our budget showed
a slight increase over the 1987 budge with most going for the Senior Citi7.ens
Director and supplies in the "A" side. We also put in a capital request for
a tractor and a pick-up truck.
SCHLATHAUS PARK
Mr. Holt met with Rich Taylor, a carpenter, to look at the stage.
He will get back to us in a couple of weeks with a written proposal. He will
also build us a platform for dancing.
The boiler in the house needs some work done and new flooring is
needed in the kitchen. This work will be done and paid for from the Recreation
budget since it isn't a big expenditure.

We are again going to try to do the skating rink. Hopefully we
will get the rail up within the next 10 days. Snow fencing will be placed around
the stage end of the rink for the Christmas Program.
PHYSICAL INVENTORY
We are in the process of doing a physical inventory. It was
noted that the Town of Fishkill has had our sod cutter since May. It was
suggested that this be brought back since they are unable to use it at this
time of the year.
The basketball court at Quiet Acres is completed.
Robinson Lane and Mart~ Field have been winterized.
Mr. Vorndran has placed tulips at Holt Fiel~around the flag
pole at Robinson Lane, at the cemetery and at Schlathaus Park.

Mr. Holt met with the Zoning Board to discuss the Klein project
Nicole Farms. It was mentioned that it was the Town Board who has the decision
as to whether it will accept a conservation district forever green. It was

we can make a counter proposal for services.
