CORRESPONDENCE
A letter of resignation was received from Nancy Drennan. Since
she has started teaching full time she felt she didn't have the time to devote
to the Recreation Commission. A recommendation was forwarded to the Town Board
for the appointment of Terrance Fisher to fill this vacancy. Mr. Holt mentioned
that if anyone knows of any person interested in becoming a member they should
have them send4.n a resume.
A letter was received from Ronald B. Mackowiak of the Wappinger
united Soccer Club outlining their field request for the Spring 1991 Soccer
Season. It was requested that this request be addressed at the January
meeting.
A second request was received from Angela Randolph regarding the
use of our fields for a tournament in June 1991. Mr. Reimer mentioned that
he called and spoke with Ms. Randolph and was told that any weekend in June
(all day Saturday and 1/2 day Sunday-Y',would be okay. The request is for 3
fields with 250' fence. Mr. Reimer will call and offer Castle Point 2 fields
and mention the building.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Reimer mentioned that he has the answering machine hooked up
at Schlathaus for any questions on programs. If anyone needs to reach him,
they can call and leave a message on the recorder. He is able to call from
his home every day to get messages and therefore will be able to more efficiently

Mr. Reimer met with representatives from West Point and after a
visit to the Junior High, it was decided that the stage was too small for
the 55 piece band which was tentatively booked for March 1. They then checked
the John Jay High School and although the stage was large enough, they found
out that it was booked on that date. A verbal agreement was then made to
have the Band play at Ketcham at 8:00 on May 3rd. The only expense for the
Town would be refreshments after the concert and possibly $160. towards
transportation.
Since March 1st was already booked at the Junior High, it was
suggested that we try and get another program in place for that night. Mr.
Reimer said he had already spoken to someone from the Hudson Valley Philharmonic
for a variety show. The cost would be $800. for a 1 ~ - 2 hour show. Some
other suggestions for follow up were: Riverbank Banjo Band, Switch-in-Time
(I.B.M.), D. c. C. Chorus and Brass Ensemble and the Sweet Adelines. Mr.
Reimer will work on setting up something for this date.
SOCCER
Mr. Rider mentioned that the Wappinger United Soccer Club has
requested that no parking signs be placed on the right hand side of the
road from the trailer.. to RegeJl.oy D~~ Thiswilt"'betaken care of. _ The Tbwn is still
working with Mr. Buyokowski on the land donation for soccer on Route 376.
CHA IRMAN 's REPORT
Mr. Holt mentioned that the building has been constructed at
Castle Point and hopefully the shingles will be put on this next weekend.
(December 15th). The painting will be done in the Spring. It was also
suggested that maybe Mr. Foster, Highway Superintendent, might be able to
cut down some of the trees opposite the recreation site. In the Spring we
have to do the well and septic. Another item to be considered might be a
track around the fence.
"No Dumping" signs should be placed by the Barn on Montfort
Road.
Mr. Holt thanked everyone who worked at the Christmas Party. It was
one of the biggest turnouts. We were especially thankful for all our volunteer
help. Several items worth noting are:
1. Little league served more popcorn than in the previous 3 years.
2. Two of the thermos containers which we got from Rent-All Center
were dirty and clogged with hot chocolate and couldn't be used.
Thanks to New Hackensack Fire Co. for the use of their thermos
containers. Rent-All will be told of this and we will not pay
for the ones we couldn't use.
3. The band was "Super".

4. A suggestion was made that we should have some entertainment
while the children are waiting in line to see Santa.
5. It was suggested we try and purchase additional Christmas
lights after Christmas at the 1/2 price sales.
The Recreation Commission will be responsible for the Senior
Citizen program as of January 2, 1991. Kathi DeLisa has been hired as
Director and we are working on obtaining an exercise teacher and a craft
teacher.
ROBINSON LANE
Mr. Ron Friedman, Engineer attended the meeting with an aerial
photo of Robinson Lane and discussed the drainage problems especially those
on Holt Field, SL-2, and R-3 and R-4. A suggestion was made to put in catch
basins from SL-2 and Holt and to run a drainage pipe from there down the
roadway. Mr. Friedman noted that there is a positive pitch and that the pipe
wouldn't have to go all the way to the creek. He estimated the cost to be
between $5,000. and $7,000. Mr. Friedman agreed to design a plan with 2
phases - 1 phase for the drainage for Holt and SL-2 and the 2nd for R-3 and
R-4 and to present them to the Commission.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 on a motion by Mr. Rider seconded
by Mrs. Korz.
