ADJOURNMENT REMINDER: Public Hearing at 6:50 P.M. for Emergency Services Bldg. 931122RGM The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on November, 22 1993 at the Town Hall, 20 Middlebush Road, Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York.

MINUTES The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of October 25, 1993, having previously been forwarded to the Town Board, were placed before them for their consideration. MRS. VISCONTI moved that the above stated Minutes be and they are hereby approved as submitted by the Town Clerk, Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried Page 1 931122RGM REPORTS Reports for the month of October were received from the Town Justices, Supervisor/Comptroller, Receiver of Taxes, Building Inspector, Zoning Administrator and Dog Control Officer. MS. VISCONTI moved to accept the above stated Reports and place them on file. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried PETITIONS & COMMUNICATIONS A letter was received from James A. Stecher, 275 Ketchamtown Road, Wappingers Falls, requesting installation of a sign on Ketchamtown Road that would read "Caution - Hidden Drive. The Highway Superintendent noted that there is "zero" sight distance looking to the east out of his driveway. The Highway Dept. has put up a temporary Hidden Driveway Sign until some shoulder work is completed in the area to improve the sight distance. Mr. Stecher has agreed to cut down a hedge row of trees that he has along the edge of the road and the Highway Dept. will cut down some of the shoulder and rock wall to improve the sight distance. A letter was received from Mr. John A. Clark, Rte. 9D, Hughsonville, regarding street numbering of homes; also requesting naming a portion of Rt. 9D in honor of his brother , Joseph F. Clark, who was a former Postmaster of Hughsonville for over 30 years. Page 2 f R 1� 931122RGM Mrs. Smith commented that the street numbering of homes is already in process and probably has been completed. This is a small section of Rte. 9D that was not numbered. Pertaining to the naming a portion of Rte. 9D, her opinion is that it would be a better idea to possibly use his name for a new road or new development that would possibly come into the area. Mr. Valdati felt it would interrupt the continuity of the area. He commented that they may want to look into a move to get the post office in Hughsonville named after this person. Mrs. Smith feels the Town Historian should look into this matter and do some research on the background and history of the area. MRS. VISCONTI moved to refer this to the Town Historian for some research then a possible referral to the Planning Board. If they come across a development coming into that area, the Planning Board may prevail upon one of the developers to name one of the streets in honor of this gentleman. Also, send a letter to the Postmaster of Wappingers Falls, Mr. Napoleon Williams for the procedure in naming a person for an honor. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried A memo was received from Patrick L. Ferracane, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, thanking the Town of Wappinger for our timely response and cooperation in the completion of the joint salt storage facility.

Page 3 �) 931122RGM A suggestion to authorize the town attorney to move ahead on the condemnation of several properties lying between the village water mains and town property in order to speed up the project. In the end, it was decided simply to have a letter go from the appropriate fire district (Hughsonville) to the village asking their cooperation for fire protection during this interim if P P 9 , fire protection was needed. Correspondence was received from Matthew D. Rudikoff Associates, Inc. regarding Phase 3A Environmental Review of the Tri -Municipal sewer project. Mrs. Smith explained that the Board must authorize Rudikoff Associates to prepare a negative declaration and designate the Town Board as Lead Agency. MRS. VISCONTI moved that they authorize Matthew D. Rudikoff & Associates to prepare these documents and designate the Town as Lead Agency. Seconded by Robert Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried A request was received from Mark O'Sullivan, Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission, for the next drawdown from the State Revolving Fund in the amount of $51,371.40.

Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried A letter from Mr. Ralph J. Holt, Chairman of Recreation Commission, requesting funds for the Red Oaks Mill 49'ers Pop Warner Football Team to provide bus transportation to a "bowl game". The cost of the bus would be $500.00 and Recreation would use funds left in their account A-7140.4 to cover the bus. Mrs. Visconti suggests we send a letter that since we seem to have a preponderance of Wappingers Falls people, maybe the team should be renamed Wappingers Pop Warner. MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the $500 expenditure to provide bus transportation and to use funds from Account A-7140.4. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried Requests for refund of escrow funds for grading were received from LPV Associates, 1611 Route 9, Hampton Business Center, for temporary Certificate of Occupancy $1,250.00; Kevin & Linda Evans, 44 Red Hawk Hollow Lot #10, for Seeding & Grading $1,500.00; and H.

Seconded by Mrs. Visconti Motion Unanimously Carried Mrs. Smith sent out three quotation/proposals to have the roof repaired at the Town Hall due to damage caused by leakage in various areas of the Town Hall. After sending out more detailed specs, one contractor, Fishkill Roofing & Siding did not want to give a second proposal. A second quote from Neighborhood Contracting went from the first submission of $2445.00 to $3375.00 on the second; however, we were advised to not take the cold roof repairing that they proposed. Mrs. Smith recommends Keller & Son with a quote of $7,975.00 to do the complete job. J Page 6 931122RGM Mrs. Smith stated that the roof had a twenty-five year warranty, but the contractor is no longer in business. MRS.
