This meeting was set at the Regular Meeting of January 16, 1989 for
the purpose of considering approval for Dutchess County Consortium
Funds for the Wappinger Youth Outreach, to apply for the Town's
Senior Citizen Program, and any other business that may come before
the Board.
Those present joined in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and a
moment of silent prayer for our residents and our Town.
The first item to be addressed was the request from Wappinger Youth
Outreach for the Town to sponsor $75,000 for their specific items
from the Dutchess County Consortium Funds. The Town also had specific
items they wished to apply these Funds to.

Consideration of awarding the Sludge Removal Bid was tabled at the
last meeting due to the fact that the low bidder failed to enclose the
signed Non -Collusion Certificate. This document has since been received
by the Town Clerk and the bid is in proper form; the Engineer has
recommended that the Town Board award the bid to the lowest bidder,
27
provided the legal requirements have been complied with.
MRS. PAINO moved to award the bid for Sludge Removal to All County
Resource Management Corp. at $135.00 per 1,000 gallons, low bidder,
recommended by the Engineer to the Town.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
The designation of an insurance agent was tabled at the last meeting
due to lack of information on premium costs. Harry Reis, representa-
tive of Marshall and Sterling was present to speak to the Board on
the information he had available. Mr. Reis noted that for the third
year in a row they have been able to reduce the Town insurance costs;
this year they will be down by approximately $40,000. He did not
have a firm figure but did present a schedule of coverage to the Board.
By changing carriers, the company was able to reduce the Umbrella Policy
by $30,000. He had recommendations that he would like to talk to the
Board concerning the coverage but felt this would be better accomplished
at a work shop meeting.
(Councilwoman Smith arrived at 7:22 P.M.)
Mr. Farina had some questions on deductibles and the cost involved,
however, Mr. Reis felt it would be better to discuss the various
options at a work shop.
MRS. SMITH moved to appoint the insurance firm of Marshall & Sterling, Inc.
as the Town's Insurance Agent for 1989.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town Board had previously authorized the Building Inspector to
go to bid on a truck. After reviewing the bids received he submitted
his recommendation to the Town Board. Since time was the important
factor, he recommended the bidder that would provide immediate
delivery, that being Poughkeepsie Ford in the amount of $13,493.12
for a 1988 Bronco II. The low bidder was approximately $100 lower,
$13,390, with a delivery schedule of eight to ten weeks. Mr. Classey
informed the Board that there is an immediate need for this vehicle
for his work.
MRS. SMITH moved to award the bid for the truck to Poughkeepsie Ford,
for a 1988 Bronco II in the amount of $13,493.12, immediate delivery,
plus an extended warranty at a cost not to exceed $500.
Seconded by Mrs. Paino

The last item for the Town Board's consideration was the
introduction of Zoning Ordinance Amendments and setting a Public
Hearing. In relation to this, our Assessor, Mr. Logan, forwarded
a letter to the Town Board yesterday recommending that they postpone
action on the Zoning Ordinance for now and perhaps consider extending
the Interim Zoning Law for sixty to ninety days. This would provide
him with extra time to determine what effect this would have on
property values and also give the public more time to review the
Ordinance and Map, as amended.
Mrs. Smith pointed out that another reason to postpone action on
the Zoning Ordinance is that Mr. Logan wants to wait until after
Grievance Day because some of the property values will be lowered and
he would like to take a good look at some of the effects. Then he'll
have a whole year to study the situation prior to the next Grievance
Day.
MRS. PAINO moved to table the Public Hearing on the Zoning Ordinance
for further review.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
There was no other business to come before the Board.
MR. REIS moved to close the Special Meeting, seconded by Mr. Farina
and unanimously carried.
The Special Meeting closed at 7:30 P.M.
