MINUTES The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of May 23, 1994 and the Special Meeting of June 13, 1994, having previously been forwarded to the Town Board, were placed before them for their consideration. COUNCILMAN VALDATI, moved that the above stated Minutes, as submitted by the Town Clerk be and they are hereby approved. Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero Motion Unanimously Carried REPORTS Reports for the month of May were received from the Town Justices, Supervisor/Comptroller, Receiver of Taxes, Building Inspector, Zoning Administrator and Dog Control Officer. COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to accept the above stated reports and place them on file. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried Page 1 940627.RGM PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town gave a report on Groundwater Under the Influence of Surface Water at Hilltop Wellfield, Rockingham Wellfield, and Atlas Wellfield. Based on conversations with the New York State Department of Health, Mr. Paggi outlined the scaled down sampling protocol for Ground Water Under the Influence analysis for the above referenced Wellfields. The estimate cost to perform the analysis as outlined would be as follows: 1. Hilltop Wellfield ..............$5,720.00 2. Rockingham Wellfield ............ 4,740.00 3. Atlas Wellfield .................4,740.00 COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to authorize Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town to perform the analysis for Hilltop Wellfield, Rockingham Wellfield and Atlas Wellfield. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Paggi also gave a report on the request from Stotz Mobile Home Park to connect into North Wappinger Water District, After contacting Dan O'Connor, P.E. of Dutchess County Health Department, Mr. Paggi presented the information to the Board. The Dutchess County Department of Health in their reply to Mr. Stotz strongly endorsed a hook-up to the Town's water system and recommended that the connection be made as soon as possible. At this point in time Mr. Paggi thinks it appropriate to question the Stotz Home Park to determine which direction they wish the Town to take. If they wish to pursue the emergency connection he could design it with the understanding that they must maintain their source in a form acceptable to the State. If they wish to make the connection permanent, the Town will need to decide whether or not they want to pursue the Water Supply Application, with the potential for being denied. Page 2 940627.RGM Mr. Paggi said a study is needed to gather data to determine if the Town should proceed with the Water Supply Application. Mrs. Smith stated she would put this item on the July workshop and at that time Mr. Paggi's study will be presented to the Board for their decision whether to proceed with the Water Supply Application. If the answer to study is negative he would recommend that the Town not file the Water Supply Application. Notice of Intent to Apply for a liquor license was received from Nat's International Pizzeria located on Route 9D and Notice of Intent to renew their liquor license was received from The Grand Union Company Store #1979 Imperial Plaza, Wappingers Falls. COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to accept the notice of Intent to apply for a new liquor license for Nat's International Pizzeria and notice of Intent to renew the liquor license for The Grand Union Store #1979 and place them on file without comment. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Correspondence was received from Emanuel F. Saris, Attorney for Tax Reviews, requesting authorization for Stipulation of Discontinuance for T. H. Baker, and Charles F. Gilbride for years 1989, 1990, and 1991. This means that the petitioner will be withdrawing its actions and will not be pursuing a refund with respect to years 1988, 1990 and 1991. In return, Tom Logan and Mr. Saris recommend the Stipulation with respect to 1992 and 1993. The reductions in assessment are from $580,000.00 to $525,000.00 for 1992 and from $580,000.00 to $470,000.00 for 1993. In addition to being a fair reduction favorable to the Town, the settlement avoids the costs of an appraisal. COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to approve the authorization Page 3 �r 940627.RGM for Stipulation of Discontinuance for T. H. Baker and Charles F. Gilbride, based on the recommendation of Mr. Saris, Attorney for Tax Reviews, and Mr. Logan, Town Assessor. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried i The following Purchase Orders were submitted for approval by Mr. Ralph Holt, Chairman of the Recreation Department. (1) Windsor Building Supplies in the amount of $1,800.00, for Marking Chalk for the lining of athletic fields. (2) Passion Sports in the amount of $1,500.00, for playground supplies for the 6 playground sites. (3) All American Fence Company in the amount of $1,290.00, for fencing at Martz Field for the new kiddie playground. COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to approve the above Purchase Order requests for Building Windsor Supplies in the amount of $1,800.00, Passion Sports in the amount of $1,500.00 and All American Fence Company in the amount of $1,290.00. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried At this time, SUPERVISOR SMITH reported that there had been a report of Vandalism at Martz Field. She did not have all the details and would discuss this problem at the next Workshop. There were two Items to Report from Graham Foster, Superintendent of Highways, the first was in regard to a request from Mr. & Mrs. Castellano of 12 Applesauce Lane to correct Ice conditions in front of their driveway. Mr. Foster stated that he and Mr. Paggi, Engineer to the Town inspected the site and found most of the water was coming from the rear yards of 10 and 12 Applesauce Lane. The Water was running down their driveways into the road and freezing. Mr. Paggi suggested trying a new type of slotted drainage system to correct the problem. It was agreed the slotted drainage system would work, because Page 4 940627.RGM the water was seeping off the driveways into the road. This Spring the residents have installed a plastic pipe to drain their yards. This pipe drains directly into the road and will concentrate the water in one area and will likely jump a slotted drain. It is the opinion of Mr. Foster that the slotted drain i will no longer work. Also, the pipe which was installed is illegal and must be removed, or piped into the storm system. Since it was the Board's decision to install the slotted drain which will cost around $2,000.00, Mr. Foster feels the Board should be involved in resolving this problem. COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to authorize the Supervisor to send a letter to Mr. & Mrs. Castellano advising them that the pipe they installed is illegal, and they must obtain a road opening permit from the Highway Department to install another piece of pipe and direct it into the storm system. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried The second report presented by Mr. Foster were the SHIPS imm projects. Mr. Foster explained that the present plans are being made to spread the four SHIPS projects over a two year period. The Diddell Tunnel and the Widmer Road curve are scheduled for 1994 at an estimated cost of $200,000.00 combined. The Wheeler Hill project and the Maloney Road Tunnel are scheduled for 1995 at an estimated cost of $250,000.00. Work on these projects must be completed first, and then the Town will be reimbursed. Because the funds are not allocated in the Budget for this year, Mrs. Smith must be authorized to apply for a RAN to cover the cost of the Diddell Tunnel and Widmer Road curve. COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to authorize the Supervisor to apply for a RAN in the amount of $200,000.00 to cover the costs of the Diddell Road Tunnel and Widmer Road projects. Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Page 5 940627.RGM The next Item on the agenda is a request from Gordon Robbins for the return of $125.00 for a water meter and permit fee. Mr. Robbins had filed an application to hook up his home at 53 Losee Road to Town Water. Due to some minor easements issues, Mr. 1 Robbins did not hook up to Town Water. In the mean time, Mr. Robbins Company has notified him he is to be transferred to Texas. He is requesting full refund. COUNCILMAN VALDATI moved to reimburse Mr. Robbins the $125.00 Seconded by Mr. Incoronato Motion Unanimously Carried Request for the return of Escrow funds were received from the following: (1) Craig T. O'Donnell landscape for lot #5 Spring Terrace $2,000. (2) Craig T. O'Donnell landscape for 53 Myers Corners Road $2,000.00.

COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to approve the return of Escrow funds as stated, to Herb Redl and Chappaqua Transportation based on the recommendation of Zoning Administrator, Herb Levenson. Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero Motion Unanimously Carried The last request for the return of Escrow funds was received by Alpine Company, refund of Downstream Drainage Fee $7,927.84. COUNCILMAN INCORONATO moved to approve the return of Escrow Page 6 940627.RGM funds as stated, to Alpine Company based on the recommendation of Zoning Administrator, Herb Levenson. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried Correspondence was received from Peter Kennedy of the WaPPin er United Soccer Club, regarding the New Soccer Fields off Airport Drive. Mr. Kennedy thanked Mrs. Smith and the Board Members for taking the time to meet with him and Tim Rabbitt to discuss the future of the new Fields. As discussed, the best approach to the situation is to breakdown the total project into sub- projects which are prioritized by need. The cost of the breakdown for the new soccer Fields are as follows: 1) Drainage for Parking Areas. $25,300.00 2) Parking Surface (4" Item over Geotextile Fabric) 35,000.00 approximately 55,600 square feet. 3) Underdrain & Swales to handle Rain Water Runoff 31,000.00 6W from the Fields. 4) Construction of Field # 4 including import of 35,200.00 Fill Material, all necessary grading, and Seeding.

Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried Lastly, a letter was received from Daniel O'Connor, PE of the Dutchess County Department of Health regarding the abandoned wells at Orchard Homes, Spook Hill Road/Royal Ridge. The DCDH wanted to know if the wells in question were properly abandoned. Mrs. Smith stated the wells in question were discussed at a Work Shop and funds had been allocated to properly close the wells, the money to be charged back to the Original Districts, but needed authorization from the Board. The cost to be $9,480.00 for Orchard Homes, and $9,600.00 for Spook Hill Rd/ Royal Ridge.

There was a Workshop regarding this matter, and Supervisor Smith notified Mr. Truett that before any work can be done, a release must be signed. Mr. Truett questioned the need for a release. Mrs. Smith said a release is needed to protect the Town. After much discussion it was agreed upon to discuss this matter further at Executive session and get back to Mr. Truett. Mr. Incoronato questioned Mr. Paggi, Engineer to the Town regarding excessive copper & lead in several Town Water Supplies. What has occurred. Mr. Paggi stated he had done a desk top analysis for Rockingham and found lead. He then sent his report to the State Health Dept with a plan to add certain agents to the water to raise the PH level to stop Lead from solder joints. The local Health Department informed Mr. Paggi that the State had accepted his report. Mr. Paggi has not submitted his report on Fleetwood, he is still gathering information on the Copper problem that exits to see what can be done. He is currently working with the Health Department and when he has more information he will notify the Board. Mr. Incoronato also questioned Mrs. Smith regarding the Tenants, for the Emergency Services Building. Mrs. Smith informed the Board that Sloper Willen has signed, but because of State Red Page 13 940627.RGM tape they are still waiting to get the signed contract from the State Police. It is expected at any time. Mr. Ruggiero questioned the Status of the Thalman Rezoning. Mr. Roberts, Attorney to the Town was contacted by Mr. Thalman's Attorney, who notified Mr. Roberts he was drafting the proposed contracts and will be sending them to Mr. Roberts momentarily. Another item brought up by Mr. Ruggiero, was the litter on Myers Corners Road across from Waldbaums, has any headway been made in getting the owner going to clean it up. Mrs. Smith informed the Board that the owner of the property is quite elderly did not wish to cooperate, and did not want anyone on the property. It was brought up that the owner has a son in the area and perhaps he would be willing to give the Town permission to go on the property or allow someone to clean it up. Mrs. Smith said she would call the owners son. Robert Valdati questioned Mr. Paggi on the status of Fire Protection at Highway Garage . Mr. Paggi stated Plans are all approved, and the current owner of property is in contract with a local firm to purchase the property, and the buyer is in agreement to grant the easement to the town to run a water line. Mr. Foster Informed the Board that the Town Cleanup was 2 days behind schedule, that 2 million pounds have been picked up so far, including 185 refrigerators, 200 air conditioners and 3000 tires. He is in the process of removing the freon from refrigerators and air conditioners. There was some discussion as to how the clean up should be handled next year. It was felt that much of this is abused. Mrs. Smith suggested that a workshop to discuss the handling of this is in order. Mr. Fanuele, a Town Resident from the audience spoke, and suggested that when a a new appliance or other large items are Page 14 940627.RGM purchased a small fee should be charged to dispose of the old ones.
