I don't know whether you have been made fully aware of the situation regarding Skip
Rottkamp, our former Director of Recreation.
Mr. Rottkamp left the Town's employ as of 8/31/07. Over the course of his last few
months in our employ he spent money on items necessary to do his job as well as putting
in. for the mileage that he was entitled to for that period of time. The total of these bills
came to $641.10.
Also submitted by him, in November, was a payroll sheet for the 19 '/z hours that he
worked to helped Scott Cheney get up to speed in his new position.
Neither the reimbursement check for $641.10 or the payroll check for the 19 '/2 hours
worked has been sent to Mr. Rottkamp.
According to the attached letter from the former Comptroller, there is no reason to hold
back the check for the $641.10. Will you please release that check and mail it to Mr.
Rottkamp as soon as possible? It is being held in Charles' office awaiting your approval
to release it.
The original assessment of the salary due to Mr. Rottkamp seems accurate and should
also be released as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention to this situation. Please notify Eileen of your decision so
that she may inform Mr. Rottkamp of your decision.

Reference is made to your voucher for hours worked in the month of November. My
review of your file reveals that you terminated your employment with the Town of
Wappinger effective 8/31/07. For reasons not clear, you were paid for an additional week
through 9/7/07, in the amount of $288.24. It is my understanding that you were never
notified of this overpayment.
This overpayment will have to be credited against the additional hours that you worked.
have calculated your hourly wage based on your salary as $16.96 and then multiplied the
rate by the number of hours you worked.
19.5 hours x $16.96 = $330.72
$330.72
- 288.24 overpayment
$42.48 net payment
Please confirm the above calculations and I will make arrangements to have the claim
paid.
With regard to the matter of the $641.10 due to you on voucher for miscellaneous
expenditures incurred while performing your duties during the year 2007, these items will
be processed and will not be delayed by this existing situation.
Sincerely,
Z' , ��/
