AT SCHLATHAUS PARK The regular meeting of the Town of Wappinger Recreation Committee was held December 12, 1995 at Sch1athaus Park, All Angels Hill Road, Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Ralph 1. Holt. Others present were Kathi DeLisa, Senior Citizen Director, Bernie Reimer, Recreation Director, and Committee Members Joseph Ennesser, Ronald Friedman, Barbara Gutzler, and Ellen Korz. The minutes of the November 14, 1995 meeting were approved on a motion by Miss Gutzler seconded by Mr. Friedman with all in favor. CORRESPONDENCE A letter dated November 29,1995 which was addressed to Dutchess County Planning and Development from Peter 1. Paggi regarding the Community Development Block Grant at the Castle Point Recreation Site was received for our information. The proposed funding encompassed the following: 1. Sewer & Water facilities 2. Water System Equipment 3. Well Development & Quality Testing 4. Extend Public Electric Service to Site $26,543.75 1,595.25 1,850.00 3,531 62 $33,520.62 In his letter he addressed the status of each of the above items and it was noted that all of the above items had been completed except for the work to be completed by Central Hudson. He noted that Central Hudson is in the process of finalizing construction plans and will provide the Town with a schedule in the near future. He asked the County if the applicable Block Grant monies could be held by them until the work can be accomplished. A letter was received from David H. Deitrick, Jr. Lieutenant Colonel, Department of the Army, The United States Military Academy Band, West Point. In his letter he informed us that the Academy Concert Band has been scheduled to perform at the Roy C. Ketcham High School on April 12, 1996. A memo was received from Supervisor Smith in regard to our request to open an account at the Wm. Tell Hardware Store. In light of the fact that Ureys, then to be Martel and most recent was Schmitt's Hardware have closed, the Recreation Maintenance were looking for an additional place besides Grossman's (which seems to be high on many items) to purchase hardware items. We had previously tried to purchase at Home Depot and were not able to do so because of the way their accounts are set up. In her letter dated November 20, 1995 Supervisor Smith indicated that we now have an account at Home Depot in Wappinger and she has requested that our maintenance people use that store until she revisits in 1996. A memo was received from Comptroller Ann Buckley stating that there is to be no more spending, unless of emergency in nature as of November 27, 1995. The memo indicated that all voucher and purchase orders must be approved by Supervisor Connie Smith prior to ordering any item. Since this is the case we will certainly run way under budget. Mrs. Roe has sent letters to the Town Board to obtain permission to install 50- amp electric service at the Barn. Quotes were received as follows for the work: A & B. Electric $1,125.00, Chris Bar Electric $1,196.00 and D. Silvestri $2,293.40. A second letter has been sent to the Town Board to request electrical work be done at Schlathaus Park. The following are the quotes received for this work A. & B. Electric $1,950.00, Chris Bar Electric $2,043.00 and D.Silvestri Sons, Inc. $3,110.56. The request for approval for fencing on field # 7 was also forwarded to the Town Board. The following are the quotes for this work: A-I Fence Company $2,765.00 Mid Hudson Fence Company $3,063.00. A letter was also sent to DeChetta Contracting on 10/4/95 and to Adams Fences on 11/1/95 requesting quotes on this project and we did not receive any response from them. Approval was received from Sheafe Road School to hold the Aerobic Program at their Cafetorium on December 7th and December 21 st. Mr. Reimer noted that the Jr. High was not available on those two nights and therefore, he was transferring the program to Sheafe Road on those two evenings. Approval was also received from Roy C. KetchaII,l to use their facilities for the U.S.Military Academy Concert Band on April 12, 1996. Mr. Ennesser has brought in two estimates for the replacement of the bulletin boards at Schlathaus Park. One estimate was for a 5' x 8' wood construction with a unit price with installation of $808.45 and the second estimate was for a same size board constructed of aluminum at a unit price including installation of $706.38. A memo was sent to Comptroller Ann Buckley advising that a youngster received a 2nd degree burn at the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. The child was burned on the right leg with hot coffee. A copy of this memo was sent to the Town's Insurance Company. Letters were sent to Supervisor Smith, Councilman Joseph Incoronato, Councilman Robert Valdati, Councilman Joseph Ruggiero, Councilwoman June Visconti and Councilman Elect Vincent Bettina inviting them to attend the Town's Christmas Program which was held December 3rd at 5:00 p.m. 2 SENIOR CITIZEN REPORT Mrs. DeLisa handed out a report on the Senior Activities for the month of November. This report is attached to these minutes. She also noted that today we held the Senior Christmas Party at the Elks Club and it was wonderful. We had a record number of raffle prizes for the Seniors, 35 prizes in all. There was good music and good food. We had many wonderful comments on the party. DIRECTOR'S REPORT A discussion was held regarding the proposal for the babysitting course. Mr. Reimer will review the letter to the Town Board and we will forward it to the Board. We have received the information on the Radio City Easter Show. It will be a Wednesday Show April 8th and it will be $21.00 per person. It is actually called the .Spring Spectacular. Mr. Reimer mentioned that he will be starting to work on the concert schedule for 1996. A suggestion was made that we run buses to a show or play. Mr. Reimer mentioned that he look into a show at Westchester or Eisenhower Hall. SAFETY /ROBINSON LANE Mr. Ennesser mentioned that he is still working on the safety audit. He has finished Robinson Lane and that site is looking good. He has also started Spook Hill. We hope that Mr. Provost has taken down the nets etc in the batting cages at Robinson Lane. Mr. Friedman asked if the parking area was done at Robinson Lane. Mr. Holt said that it has not been done. Mr. Ennesser mentioned that he has spoken to Mr. Provost about ftxing the broken door on the equipment building. Mr. Friedman was asked to keep in touch with Little League about the painting party and about what kind of tile they plan to put down in the building. We should see and approve of what they plan to do. FIRST AID Miss Gutzler mentioned that since we hold a number of parties at Schlathaus Park, we should have a ftrst aid kit available for treating minor problems. Mrs. Korz mentioned that the setup for the tent was not good as she noticed several people tripping over the poles. Next year we need to look over the layout and we must monitor the number of people that are in the tent and only authorized people working should be in the tent. We also should look into having more light around the tent area. 3 CHAIRMAN REPORT Mr. Holt mentioned that Mr. Miller has spoken to the transportation department regarding the $4.32 bill we recently received from the School District. In taking with them Mr. Miller noted that he felt that there were still some inconsistencies and we are now going to receive a check from them for approximately $40.00 plus or minus. Mr. Holt noted that since the tree lighting ceremony we have had trouble with the lights on the tree. Half of the tree was not lighting. We think the problem is solved but we are not sure. It was noted that this year we did not spend any money on any new bulbs and hopefully after Christmas we will be able to get some on sale for next year. This is not like having the bulbs on a tree at a persons home. The bulbs are put up and taken down with help from persons other than the maintenance personnel and the care is not there as it is with your own personal bulbs. The lights are also up on the tree longer and therefore are out in the weather longer so they don't last as long. Mr. Holt mentioned that he has spoken to Mr. Foster about the paving that he promised to do for us a Martz Field and at the Barn which was not completed in 1995. He did promise to try and get it done for us in the Spring of 1996. A discussion took place regarding taking small subdivision areas for recreation purposes. The Committee agreed that having a lot of small areas to maintain is more trouble and we felt that the money we would get in lieu ofland would be better put to use in improving current holdings. The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m. on a motion by Mr. Ennesser seconded by Miss Gutzler. Peggy Roe Secretary 4 DECEMBER 1995 REPORT TO THE RECREATION COMMISSION FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER November activities at the senior citizen center included the regular schedule of arts/crafts, oil painting, exercise, line dancing, photo club, videos, bingo, puzzles, cards and games.
