She spoke in reference to Resolution 2010-80. She would like to see a study done to see how much it would cost to get the pool back into operation. She also suggested a comparison be done as to how much it costs to run the summer swim program. One pool has already been closed on All Angels Hill Road about 30 years ago. Other towns have their swimming areas. Before the pool is filled in, she would like the study to be considered because it would benefit the whole Town. Her other concern had to do with the reviewing of the Town bills. She feels that all of the Town bills should be in the packets for the public to review, even those that have been paid. Supervisor Colsey clarified that any public item is available through a FOIL application. The next resident to speak was Gary Lindstrom. He spoke in reference to the Agenda item about senior housing. He noted that there are other towns that provide senior housing, but there is nothing in the Town of Wappinger. Many residents would like to go on living in Wappinger and need homes that are one level, with no up -keep and no grounds to take care of. It seems that, when people talk senior housing, they are only concerned with the low cost end of it. He is in support of some kind of growth for senior housing in Wappinger. Mr. Lindstrom has brought this up in the past and wished to bring it up again as there is a new Council Member.

VII. Discussions A. Personnel Manual Update - David Wise/ Colsey Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:10 PM. David Wise, the Town's appointed attorney for personnel issues, briefly summarized the progress of the Town of Wappinger Personnel Manual. He reminded the Board to keep in mind that the purpose of the handbook is to set forth rules and guidelines on labor management relations. Supervisor Colsey added that they also had the Town's workers compensation carrier and liability insurance carrier look at it. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:11 PM. B. Town Underground Storage Tank Report (Enviro Clean) - Joe Jordan/Colsey Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:11 PM. Joe Jordan, principal of Enviro Clean Services, LLC, was present to discuss the report with the Town Board. In July 2009, Mr. Jordan was hired to perform the NYSDEC petroleum bulk storage audit on tanks located on facilities within the Town of Wappinger. He presented the findings of the audits for the Town of Wappinger Highway Dept, Camwath property and Town of Wappinger Town Hall to the Board and fielded question from the Board. Supervisor Colsey discussed the estimates and proposals. Councilman Paoloni asked for clarification on purchasing procedures and what needs to go out to bid. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, explained the procedures. The Board agreed to move forward with the $850 expense. The Board then discussed the expenses for removing boilers. There is roughly $90,000 in a fuel tank replacement fund. Discussion followed. Councilman Paoloni asked again about the bid process to make sure that this project would not need to go out to bid. Town of Wappinger Page 2 Printed 2/17/2010 Town Board Meeting Minutes February 8, 2010 Mr. Roberts clarified that this would need to have three written bids, but would not cross the threshold that would require formal bidding. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 7:57 PM. C. CDBG Update - Donna Bolner, DC Legislature/Colsey Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 7:57 PM. Donna Bolner, Dutchess County Legislator, was present to address the Board on this issue. She notified the Board that the Community Development Block Grant that was submitted for handicapped baseball fields and improvements at the Robinson Lane complex was one of the nine grants that were granted. The field will be ADA compliant. It will allow handicapped participants from 5-18 years of age to participate and play baseball. Some resurfacing and improvements to dug outs will be needed. Councilman Bettina questioned if this was only for Robinson Lane and only for ages 5-18. Ms. Bolner replied that it is only for Robinson Lane because that is where the application was applied for. But once the field is established, it can be used for seniors or veterans as well as for handicapped people. Supervisor Colsey explained that the Challenger League was started by Bettina Briccetti as a Girl Scout project. There are now four teams. Former Supervisor Ruggiero applied for this grant in the past, but it was not approved. After several attempts, the Town got the grant this year. There are certain materials that have to be used for these fields. Currently, the Challenger games are played on dirt fields. Councilman Beale asked about the time frame for the upgrades to the field. He would like to have something in the spring. Supervisor Colsey stated that it could be started in the spring. Rob Wilson, President of Little League, confirmed that it could definitely be done in the spring. Councilman Beale would like some kind of announcement to be made on opening day of Little League. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:06 PM. VIII. Re -Zone Applications A. Property. NYS Route 9D, Tax Map No. 6057-04-964107 Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:06 PM. Luigi D'Agostino, Attorney at Law, representing Guiseppe D'Agostino, the rezoning applicant, spoke to the Board about this topic. The applicant would like to bring an assistant -living, senior housing or 55 plus housing development to Wappinger. Councilman Bettina noted the need to refer this to the Planning Board. He advised Mr. D'Agostino the proper steps that need to be taken for rezoning applications. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, noted that the applicant does not have a proposed site plan. The applicant would need a proposed site plan for the Planning Board to review. Supervisor Colsey noted that there is a proposal for a similar project right next to this property. Discussion followed pertaining to the availability of water and sewer and the possible scope of the project. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:18 PM. B. Property. All Angels Hill Road. Tax Map No. 6257-02-630770 Supervisor Colsey opened the discussion at 8:26 PM. Richard O'Rourke was on hand to represent the rezoning applicants for this property. This rezone application was originally submitted in 2008. Mr. O'Rourke was joined by Dan Zalinski and Jim Fitzpatrick of Toll Brothers and Frank Buyakowski, managing member of Contrail LLC. Mr. O'Rourke described the parcel and the nature of the application. Councilman Bettina noted that the Planning Board will take a look at this and make a recommendation to the Town Board. Discussion followed about the possibility or legality of restricting residency for this property only to permit Town of Wappinger seniors. Councilman Paoloni asked who would make up the difference between market value on these homes and the price that these homes would be sold for as affordable housing units. Mr. Zalinski commented that the developer would have to pick up the difference. Mr. O'Rourke continued with the presentation. Supervisor Colsey noted that Legislator Incoronato was present and would like to comment. Mr. Incoronato noted that this is a meritorious proposal. He cited reasons of why he feels that it is. Discussion followed. Supervisor Colsey closed the discussion at 8:40 PM. Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 2/1712010 Town Board Meeting Minutes February 8, 2010 IX.
