ADJOURNMENT 329 The Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on December 5, 1988 at the Town Hall, 20 Middlebush Road, Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York. Supervisor Paino opened the Meeting at 7:30 P.M. Present: Irene Paino, Supervisor Vincent Farina, Councilman David Reis, Councilman Constance Smith, Councilwoman Robert Valdati, Councilman Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk Others Present: John Klarl , Attorney Joseph E. Paggi, Jr. Engineer All joined in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag followed by a moment of silent prayer for the Town of Wappinger and its residents. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of November 7th, and the Special Meetings of November 17th and 21st, 1988, having previously been forwarded to all Board Members, were now placed before them for their consideration. Mrs. Smith asked for a correction on the November 7th, meeting on Page 322, the 1989 Budget should read the 1988 Budget, referring the bids on the used van. MRS. SMITH moved that the above stated Minutes be and they are hereby approved, as corrected, as submitted by the Town Clerk. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried Reports were received from the Supervisor/Comptroller and Zoning Administrator for October, Town Justice Report from Judge Francese and Hydrant Report for November. MRS. SMITH moved to accept the above stated Reports and place them on file. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried Petitions & Communications --- A Petition was received from residents of the Quiet Acres Area for a Street Lighting District. There were over three pages of signatures of residents in the area. Mrs. Paino recommended that the Petition be referred to the Attorney to the Town to investigate the percentage of residents required to form a lighting district. Mr. Farina agreed and noted that the writer of the letter, Kenneth 330 Wagner indicated that he was aware of the cost factor involved, however the attached pages with the resident's signatures do not mention anything about cost so he was concerned that the residents understand that the formation of a lighting district in a certain area means that the residents of that area assume the responsibility of the cost of such district. MRS. PAINO moved to refer this matter to the Attorney to the Town to investigate the required percentage of residents in favor of the formation of a street lighting district. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried A Memo was received from the Zoning Administrator regarding the completion of courses required for the Code Enforcement Officer, with his certificates enclosed. MR. FARINA moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file. Seconded by Mr. Valdati Motion Unanimously Carried A Memo was received from the Attorney to the Town, Thomas Wood, seeking authorization to obtain services of a real property appraisor in regard to a Tax Review Proceeding. MR. FARINA moved to authorize the Attorney to the Town to obtain the services of a real property appraiser for a Tax Review Proceeding and request the School and County Officials to assist with the financial burden of the court case. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Farina felt that the School Board and the County has been critical of our pursuit of tax cases but they have not been willing to share the expenses of these cases with the Town, and he, therefore, 4 wished to request that they share the expenses. Mr. Klarl noted that a letter had been sent from their office to the School District regarding their involvement and participation in this matter but has not had a reply. MRS. SMITH moved that a cap of $2,500.00 be set on the expenses of an appraiser for the Tax Review Proceedings. Seconded by Mrs. Paino Motion Unanimously Carried L 331 A request had been previously received from the New Hackensack Church for a waiver of fees for Site Plan and Downstream Drainage on their proposed building. Mr. Paggi noted that in the past few years, it has been the practice of the Board to waive fees for the Site Plan and Building Permit for non-profit organizations, but not Recreation and Downstream Drainage Fees. MRS. PAINO moved to waive the Building Permit and Site Plan Fees for the New Hackensack Church and pending receipt of recommendation from the Planning Board to waive Downstream Drainage Fees, this will be considered at a later date. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried A request was received from Mr. & Mrs. Jeffrey Cooper for the return of a cash bond of $250.00 for the completion of their driveway. Both the Highway Superintendent and the Building Inspector recommended the release of this cash bond as the work has been completed to their satisfaction. MRS. PAINO moved to return the $250.00 cash bond to Mr. & Mrs. Jeffrey Cooper, as recommended by the Highway Superintendent and Building Inspector. Seconded by Mr. Reis Motion Unanimously Carried A Memo was received from the Zoning Administrator recommending the return of $35.00 Zoning Board of Appeals application fee to Mr. Julian. The information was researched and it was determined that the deed restrictions in the Hamlet forbid above ground swimming pools. MRS. SMITH moved to refund the $35.00 fee to Mr. Julian, as recommended by the Zoning Administrator. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried A request was received from James Klein for the return of Driveway deposits for Lots #61, 23 and 59 in Kendell Farms, a total of $750.00. Although his original request was for six lots, it was determined, after research by the Building Inspector that there was no escrow money collected on three of the lots. MRS. PAINO moved to release the amount of $750.00 in Driveway Deposits 332 for Lots #61, 23 and 59 of Kendell Farms, as recommended by the Deputy Highway Superintendent and Building Inspector. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried Patricia Meddaugh was recently hired on a temporary basis to take the place of the previous Secretary to the Highway Superintendent who has retired. The appointment was for thirty days and it will soon expire. Consideration by the Board is now requested to extend this appointment to the end of this year. Mrs. Paino explained that Dutchess County Personnel has informed the Town that letters must be forwarded to everyone on the certified list for this category. This has been done and one person is interested in the position and will be interviewed by the Board. In the interim, the Highway Department needs coverage for this position. MRS. PAINO moved that Patricia Meddaugh's appointment be extended to December 31, 1988, at $6.00 per hour. Seconded by Mrs. Smith Motion Unanimously Carried A Memo was received from Mark Liebermann regarding repair work that has to be done on his car. An emergency letter was received from Mr. Classey regarding extensive work that must be done on his car which will cost approximately $1,155.00 Mrs. Smith remarked that Mr. Liebermann's car was apparently fixed before the Board even discussed it. Other members expressed their opinion that they doubted if Mr. Classey's car was worth fixing and they questioned how it happened since it recently had work done on it. It was agreed that a work shop should be set up to discuss the matter. Committee Reports --- Mr. Valdati had no reports for this meeting. MR. REIS moved to send a letter to Ralph Holt and the Recreation Commission commending them on the superb job they did for the Town's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Seconded by Mrs. Smith Motion Unanimously Carried 333 Mr. Farina, Ordinance Committee, was requested by Mr. Levenson to remind the public that the Snow Ordinance is in effect and no parking is allowed on the Town roads from midnight to 8 A.M. The Vandalism Patrol has been advised to ticket the cars parked between those hours on the roads. Mr. Farina, Cable, reported that the people living in the area of Robinson Lane who were expecting cable this year will not receive this service. Unfortunately there was an accident while they were installing the cable lines, a sub -contractor received a severe electric shock and as a result there is now litigation between the sub -contractor, the cable company and Central Hudson. Until the cause is determined and litigation resolved all construction has been ceased. The cable rates will be increased in 1989 from $13.00 to $14.50 and Channel 36 will be added. Mrs. Smith, Dial -O -Ride meeting, they discussed American Transit Corp. taking over for the County. It is probable that they will strike Thursday or Friday as there is another company, M.I.A., that would like to get in there. This will be the third strike in the last six weeks. Resolutions --- A request was received from Central Hudson to make a Streetlight change in the Hughsonville Lighting District. MRS. SMITH moved to authorize Central Hudson to make the changes specified to the street lighting service for the Hughsonville Lighting District and authorize the Supervisor to sign the contract. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried A request was received from the Comptroller to transfer monies from A Fund 1990.40 to 1420.40 in regard to Mr. Wood's memo to the Board dated November 1, 1988 which related to litigation between Mr. Lapar and the Town. MRS. SMITH moved to authorize the Comptroller to transfer the funds as per Mr. Wood's memo. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried 334 Bids on Chemical Purchases for the Water and Sewer Districts were received and opened on November 4, 1988 and the following recommenda- tions were made by Mr. Paggi. DUSO Chemical Company Inc. was low bidder on the following items: a) 15 gallon containers of sodium hypochlorite at $13.20 per 15 gallon container. b) 55 gallon containers of sodium hydrochlorite at $42.90 per 55 gallon container. c) 50 pound containers of hydrated lime at $3.89 per 50 pound container.

Mr. Paggi recommended that the chemicals be awarded to the low bidder, as specified. MR. VALDATI moved to award the bids for Chemical Purchases as recommended by the Engineer. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried Bids on Sludge Removal from the sewer plants of the Town were also opened on the 4th of November, 1988 but irregularities were found in the both bids received. MRS. PAINO moved to rebid on Sludge Removal. Seconded by Mr. Reis Motion Unanimously Carried Three bids were received for a used Van; the first was from Newburgh Dodge in the amount of $11,280 for a new Van and therefore did not meet the specs; Barton Chevrolet bid was for $10,900, which is over the limit set for this vehicle and the third was from Sarinsky's Garage in the amount of $8,500. The Comptroller noted that all the specs were met and he recommended that the Town purchase the 1986 Van for $8,500. Mrs. Smith noted that all the bids were from Orange County again and everyone knows that she is opposed to spending the Town's money outside of Dutchess County. She questioned if the legal notice was put in the local paper and since there were no bids received from_. local dealers, were there inquiries made about the vehicle the Town was interested in purchasing. 335 MRS. PAINO moved to award the bid for the used Van to Sarinsky's Garage, low bidder in the amount of $8,500, as recommended by the Comptroller.

The Attorney's Office had done all they could to expedite these negotiations, it was now in the hands of the Public Service Commission and the Department of Environmental Conservation.

Ketcham Gymasts for a donation to assist the team to travel to China for competition. Mrs. Paino preferred to refer this matter to a work shop to enable Mr. Ross to make aresentation to the Board and explain the situation P P to them. It was Mrs. Smith's opinion that there really was no point in discussing the request as it would be illegal for the Town to make such a donation according to her interpretation of the New York Constitution is that towns are not allowed to do this for special groups. Mr. Wood had previously informed Mrs. Paino that this practice was legal but she also felt it should be explored. Mr. Klarl interjected his opinion that this could be taken out of recreation fund for the betterment of youth. Both Mrs. Smith and Mr. Valdati asked that this ruling be put in writing and forwarded to Article 8, that the Attorney check/Section 1 of the New York State Constitution them and Mrs. Smith asked since it specifically mentions not using recreation funds.

Seconded by: Councilman Farina Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays Unfinished Business --- A Resolution regarding assistance from the County Director of Risk Management for Local Municipalities to obtain health insurance at a more reasonable cost was forwarded to Supervisor Paino from Supervisor James Tanner and addressed at the last meeting and tabled for further review by other Board Members. The following resolution was offered by SUPERVISOR PAINO who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the cost of providing health insurance to local municipal and county employees continues to escalate while, at the same time, the extent of coverage and the services provided continue to deteriorate, and WHEREAS, it is necessary to investigate alternatives to the present plan in order to attempt to obtain better coverage and services at a reasonable cost, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the Dutchess County Legislature does hereby request the County Director of Risk Management to investigate the feasibility of obtaining health insurance coverage for local municipal and county employees through the County of Dutchess in order to improve coverage and services and, further, in order to hold down costs. Seconded by: Councilman Farina Roll Call Vote: 5 Ayes 0 Nays Mrs. Paino pointed out that at the present time the cost for health insurance for each employee is $300.00 per month and anything they can do to reduce this amount would be a big savings in the budget. The resolution was to be forwarded to the Dutchess County Legislature and a copy to Supervisor Tanner. 340 New Business Mr. Valdati reported that he had attended a meeting with the Village Trustees who informed him that they were entertaining a proposal to provide sewer service to the Alpine Development Corp. that intends to develop the land on Route 9 and Myers Corners Road on the Southeast side. They are considering having a tie into their system using Middlebush Road to Route 9D, thence to Franklindale Avenue, Carmine Drive and down to their pumping station; there will be a fee charged to Alpine which will benefit the Village. His question is since this firm is trying to get sewer service temporarily, will there be any conflict with the Town's plans to provide their own system with the work they are proposing to do either on Middlebush Road or on Route 9D. Mr. Paggi replied that they do have a site plan application in front of the Town's Planning Board and he has had discussions with them as to the timing of this sequence and he has advised them that if they chose this route for a temporary measure, it would be just that ---temporary. If and when the Town trunk line planned to go through the property becomes a reality, Alpine will have to abandon the temporary trunk line and tie into the Town system. The route line they are proposing through Middlebush will be of no value to the Town. Mr. Paggi has already informed representatives of that firm that the permanent sewer line will be going through the Town of Wappinger. Mrs. Snowden informed the Board that she had received a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement from the Waterfront in Fishkill (three volumes) and they are available for inspection. A letter was received from Mr. Paggi requesting a work shop on the Tall Trees Public Water Supply. Frank Borquist, Secretary/Treasurer of the New Hackensack Fire District, contacted Mrs. Snowden just prior to the meeting to request the use of two of the Town's voting machines for their vote on December 13, 1988. MRS. PAINO moved to grant permission to the New Hackensack Fire District to use two of the Town's voting machines for their election on December 13, 1988. Seconded by Mr. Farina Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Valdati announced that U. S. Cablevision has extended their business hours to accommodate their customers.
