COF:RESPONDENCE A copy of a letter addressed to Supervisor Connie Smith from the Dutchess County Youth Board was received stating that they have recommended an award of $17,000. in support of the Town of Wappinger Recreation Program.

A fe~'J reside'(",ts jl\st like to play frisbee, walk or jog in the area but are unable to gain access after the end of October.. It was decided to take this request under advisement for 1991. ROB I NSm,,! L?%NE Mr. Miller suggested the following work be considered at thf.? abc,vf:"? ar'e.:':i: 1. The drainage problems at Holt, R-2, R-3 and R-4 should be addressed. It was suggested that we contact Ron Friedman to get some ideas on how to go about correcting thf:"?se problems. 2. Some outfield fencing has to be repaired and. the backstop on SL-2 needs to be built up where the frost has raised it out of the ground. 3. Since we weren"t able to transplant some trees from Reese this Fall we will try and do it next Spring. 4. Little League has requested permission to build a shed to house their tractors and equipment. They would probably place it where the present truck body is located. It was mentioned that a building would look much better than the truck body. A motion was made by Mr. Miller to approve the building subject to the approval of the plans by the Recreation Commission. This motion was seconded by Mr. Mastroianni with all in favor. 5. We should start to think about putting lights on Holt field with thoughts to fix the poles so it could cover R-2. We don't know what the reality of this is but we should keep it in mind with the older league expanding. 6. We should have drinking water and electricity at all fields and think about putting rest room faciities at out sk i ro t al-e.;.:,s. 7" The roadway from the iYltersection should be paved to R-3 and R-4 and speed bumps should be put in to slow traffic through the whole complex. 8. Parking areas need to be developed between R-I and R"P . DIRECTOR"S REPORT All the paperwork has been submitted for the West Point Concert. The place had to be changed from Ketcham to the Wappinger Jr. High which has recently been renovated and now has a seating capacity of between 900-1000. The only problem will be the parking. Mr. Reimer received a call from the Wappinger Jr. High on October 13th stating that our Fall programs could start and so far all scheduled programs are going well. The Thursday night volleyball program is very crowded. A request was received for a MEN'S aggressive league. We will look into it for future programs.
