At this point, Mrs. Paino recognized a group of residents who were
present to address the Board on a concern in their vicinity.
Rodney Hengst, Myers Corners Road, explained to the Board that he
and some other residents from that area wished to bring their concern
to the Board relating to a teen age club operating at the Castle
Racquett and Fitness Club on Route 376 at the intersection of Myers
Corners Road. He has been pursuing this since the beginning of this
year and spoke of the noise, littering and damage that are still
continuing. They would like to have something done about it and
he was prepared to elaborate but expected. a few more residents to
attend and preferred to wait for th@ir attendance.
Mrs. Paino agreed to entertain their grievances at a later point
in the meeting.
142
A report was submitted from Town Justice Vincent S. Francese for
the month of May.

Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
Petitions & Communications ---
Mr. Thomas Nucifore, U. S. Postal Service, Hopewell Junction, was on
the Agenda to address the Board on proposed changes to street address-
ing systems, however, circumstances prevented him from attending the
meeting and it has been rescheduled for the first meeting in July.
Correspondence was received from Charles Cortellino who has historically
presented the Town Supervisor with a Proclamation during Safe Boating
Week.
Mr. Cortellino noted that the first full week in June is always
designated Safe Boating Week and many different agencies cooperate
with this event. Every year it is a different theme and the emphasis
this year will be on boating education, which includes learning how to
operate a boat and a knowledge of the rules and regulations on the
water. The Coast Guard and the Sheriff will patrol the river and the
boaters will be given a test to determine if they are qualified to
to operate the boat safely and these agencies will enforce safety.
Ordinarily courses are conducted in the Spring, however, this year they
will be repeated in the Fall. Anyone interested in taking the course
can contact Mr. Cortellino.
OFFICE OF THE TOWN SUPERVISOR ---PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, more Americans each year are choosing recreational
boating as an ideal way to relax with their family and friends.
However, what starts out as a pleasant cruise often ends in
tragedy because boaters fail to teach their families to swim,
fail to properly equip their craft with Personal Flotation Devices
and other protective equipment, or fail to instruct their passengers
in the use of such devices prior to a boating cruise; and
WHEREAS, every year lives are lost in boating accidents. These
fatalities can be reduced and boating made more ple.asurable if those
who engage in it will emphasize knowledge, care, and courtesy necessary
for safe boating; and
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States, having recognized
the need for such emphasis, has, by a joint resolution of 4 June
1958 (72 Stat. 179), requested the President to annually proclaim
one week as National Safe Boating Week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, IRENE PAINO, SUPERVISOR, Town of Wappinger,
Dutchess County, do hereby designate the period beginning 7 June 1987
through 14 June 1987 as NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK.
143
Notification was received from James McCluskey, Vice President of
the Steak Barn Restaurant, Route 82, in the Town of Wappinger,
of his intent to renew the Liquor License.
MR. FARINA moved to receive this notification and place it on file
with no comment.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town of Poughkeepsie forwarded a Notice of Abandonment of a
portion of Cottam Hill Road, shown on an enclosed drawing; Notice
of Intent to prepare a Draft EIS Determination of Significance
relating to the Rockledge Park Condominium Development from the
Village of Wappingers Falls, and a second notice of Public Hearing
from the Village Zoning Board of Appeals relating to an interpretation
of the Zoning Ordinance regarding the Sweet Orr Building at 6-12 Mill
Street.
MR. FARINA moved to receive these notices and place them on file.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
A request was received from Ron Wood, representing Jehovah's Witnesses
for a waiver of fees pertinent to the construction of their Kingdom
Hall building project.
The Board had previously imposed a $350.00 per day inspection fee
on the applicant for Town personnel services on the weekend of June
12th, 13th and 14th, 1987. This fee would not be waived and the
Zoning Administrator had recommended that it be paid to the Town
prior to the construction of the building.
MR. REIS moved to waive certain fees pertinent to the construction
of the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall on All Angels Hill Road,
with the exception of the inspection fees levied at $350.00 per
day, which shall be paid to the Town prior to the commencement of
the construction of the building.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
A Memo was received from Connie Smith, Town Historian, requesting
a $2,000 increase in her "Celebrations Account", due to additional
expenses she anticipated for Wappinger Day. Mrs. Smith apologized
for this request in mid -stream, so to speak, and would try to
144
submit a more realistic figure for the 1988 budget. The increase was
due mainly to additional transportation costs and liability charges
that the bands have incurred.
MR. FARINA moved to approve the request of a $2,000 increase in
"Celebrations" Account, which will be transferred when this account
is depleted.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
MR. VALDATI moved to request Mrs. Smith to provide the Town Board
with an itemized breakdown of the $2,000 increase.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
A Memo was received from the Town Clerk requesting that her present
Petty Cash be increased from $50 to $150, since our new location
does not allow for frequent trips to the bank for change to transact
business. Extra money has to be kept in the cash draw to start the
day and this disallows for sufficient money to be disbursed for
various small cash outlays required at times by the various depart-
ments.
MRS VISCONTI moved to approve Mrs. Snowden's request for an increase
in the Petty Cash from the present $50 to $150.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
A resignation was received from Jennifer Van Tuyl from her position
as Attorney to the Town.
MR. REIS moved to accept Ms. Van Tuyl's resignation and place it
on file.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Incoronato was recognized by the Chair and requested that the
contents of Ms. Van Tuyl's letter be read for the record.
Mr. Reis responded that it was a confidential legal memorandum and
he felt it was meant to remain that way.
Mrs. Visconti added that in conversation with Mr. Reis he had stated
that this correspondence was in the hands of the news media, therefore
she did not see any reason why it could not be entered into the Minutes
of this Meeting.
145
The Attorney had previously discussed "Confidential" correspondence
with the Town Board noting that it should be treated that way. The
newspapers had obtained this information probably through a "leak"
and that was not his problem ---he intended to handle the correspondence
as instructed by the Attorney. Mrs. Visconti asked that a vote be
taken on the matter.
MRS. VISCONTI moved that the "Confidential" correspondence from the
Attorney to the Town relating to her resignation from that position,
be recorded in the Minutes of this Meeting.

Motion Defeated
A vacancy existed on the Zoning Board of Appeals due to the death
of Joseph Landolfi; also the Building Inspector's position due to the
resignation of the former person in this postion, and a vacancy in
the Assessor's Office due to a resignation from Anna May DeMilio, the
Clerk in that office.
MRS. PAINO moved to accept Mrs. DeMilio's resignation from her position
as Clerk in the Assessor's Office.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
In regard to the Zoning Board of Appeals member, there are several
people who are interested in this position, Mrs. Paino noted, however
she wished to discuss with the Chairman of that Board. There was one
applicant in particular she felt would be qualified and as soon as she
made contact with the Chairman the appointment would be placed before
the Board.
Mr. Valdati requested to put a name before the Board having previously
contacted the Chairman who was agreeable to the appointment. Mr.
Valdati cited the qualifications of this individual for the position
on the Zoning Board of Appeals since he (Angel Caballero) had previously
served on this Board as both member and Chairman for a brief period of
time.
Mrs. Paino preferred to wait until she had spoken personally to the
146
Chairman of the ZBA in regard to a person she felt would be a fine
addition to that Board. Her intent was to have the Chairman meet this
individual and discuss the appointment.
Mr. Valdati persisted in his efforts to place this name before the
Board and pointed out that he had placed the matter before the Chairman
who had indicated that the applicant would be acceptable to him.
MR. VALDATI moved to appoint Angel Caballero as a member of the
Zoning Board of Appeals.

In regard to the appointment of a Building Inspector, several candi-
dates have been interviewed and will be interviewing two more next
Thursday and Mrs. Paino indicated that the Board will take action on
this appointment as quickly as possible.
Committee Reports ---
Charlie Cortellino, Chairman of the CATV Committee reported that they
had a meeting, but prior to that he had forwarded a letter to Congressman
Fish regarding unregulated cable; he received no reply to his first
letter and another one was forwarded to him this week with an enclosure
of an article in the New York Times entitled "Is Cable Monopolizing
Television ---How Congress created a Cable Monster". In essence it is
saying that no one has power over cable companies ---they are completely
deregulated. In our Town it appears the cable company was not satisfied
with the return on HBO, so they lowered the rates for this service and
upped the rates on basic stations. We have no control on what stations
they put on and in some localities, such as Staten Island, you have to
take basic service plus HBO and one of three choices of other premium
channels. That is the package they are obliged to contract for if they
want cable TV. Mr. Cortellino was seeking to reverse this legislation
and since Congress is where the deregulation was enacted, that is where
it will have to be repealed to right the wrong they have accomplished.
Mr. Valdati, Health and Safety spoke of a dog problem that was brought
to his attention by village residents; the dog was unlicensed but far
147
more serious than that was the fact that the dog had not been vaccinated
and had attacked an eight year old boy. Mr. Valdati contacted our
Dog Officer who has rectified the problem by mandating that the dog
be licensed and vaccinated.
Another problem brought to his attention was the fact that illegal
multiple dwelling is occurring in the Village which would be a zoning
violation. He brought this to the attention of the Mayor who intends
to research the matter, also unregistered cars on the premises.
He felt the Mayor was in full cooperation with the Town Board and there
appears to be a good line of communication.
Mr. Reis, Recreation, reported on the ongoing parking problem at the
Chelsea Boat Ramp and intended to meet with the residents of the area
to discuss further solutions to alleviate this problem.
Mr. Farina, Water and Sewer, noted that the draft contract for the
Brinckerhoff Water District that supplies water to our Watch Hill
Water District, has been completed and applications for the required
permits have been submitted.
Mrs. Visconti, Personnel, brought up a matter that was distressing to
her and it was a repeat performance of a similar incident that she
discussed at a previous meeting. At that time it was a memo from the
Comptroller regarding employee's lateness, which she was not apprised
of, and now it is her understanding from correspondence she has received,
that the Town of Wappinger has entered into an agreement with the C.S.E.A.
regarding a grievance initiated by Highway personnel. On numerous
occasions Mrs. Visconti pointed out that the Supervisor confers with
and defers to Chairmen of the other Committees, but she is not being
informed of incidents relating to the Committee she chairs. She is
not being allowed to participate and contended that this was not the
way to operate a Town. She referred to previous discussion on the
confidential letter from the Attorney and vehemently stated that this
procedure has got to stop. If a meeting was called when these items
came up, she could be kept informed; she has made herself available
at all times and does not appreciate the fact that she received
correspondence involving a matter for her committee and indicating that
an agreement has been reached. At Mrs. Paino's request, Mrs. Visconti
read excerpts from the letter in question ---"constitutes an agreement
between the C.S.E.A. and the Town of Wappinger regarding a grievance
and changing your time limits, waiving time limits".
148
Over Mrs. Visconti's objection that this should have been discussed
with her privately, Mrs. Paino offered an explanation of the matter.
The Town of Wappinger has received a grievance levied against the
Highway Superintendent by a member of the C.S.E.A., a member of the
Highway Department. Due to the fact that the Town is currently
interviewing for the position of Attorney to the Town and the current
Attorney is not accepting new business, it was felt that the time
period should be extended to the end of June to give the Town Board
an opportunity to interview and hire a new attorney, and have him on
board to handle the grievance procedure. The Regional Director of
the C.S.E.A. had offered, during a recent visit to the Supervisor,
to extend the time period in which the Town has to respond to the
grievance levied; this will prevent additional cost to the Town which
could result if they did not follow through with the grievance procedure
within the time frame allowed. The Supervisor followed through since
there was a limited time to consider and it was not an agreement
in regard to handling the grievance; it has resulted in a savings to
the Town.
Mr. Valdati commented that he agreed with the timely action in view
of the fact that the Town is without an attorney to handle the case,
however when the correspondence states that the Board has agreed with
C.S.E.A., and he was just copied on it, as was Mrs. Visconti who chairs
the Committee, it is not a reasonable statement to make when they were
not involved in the decision making; they have not concurred, they were
informed. This has denied him and anyone else in the same position,
the right to be a representative of their constituents of the Town.
Mrs. Paino reiterated her statement that the matter had to be handled
in a timely fashion and an attorney is a requisite for the Town to handle
a personnel situation:--- .it is not appropriate to go into depth
and pointed out that the Town Board in its entirety, will make the
final decision. The action in question was merely requesting an
extension to consider a determination of the grievance. In conclusion,
Mr. Valdati summed up his grievance that Mrs. Visconti, as head of the
Personnel Committee was denied functioning in that capacity, also
they were just copied instead of consulted with which he felt did not
reflect the full participation of the Board. He reiterated that he
concurred with the decision but objected to the procedure taken
without the knowledge of the entire Board.
149
Mrs. Paino added another item to the discussion, the fact being that
the grievance was filed with the Town Board on May llth, and since that
time she has not heard from Mrs. Visconti regarding a recommendation
with regard to the grievance procedure.
Mr. Valdati and Mrs. Visconti continued the discussion and Mrs. Paino
responded to their comments and made a final statement that the corres-
pondence Mrs. Visconti was referring to, was previously copied to her
by Mrs. Paino.
Mr. Reis joined in to point out that the Supervisor is also on the
Personnel Committee; a brief exchange of words resulted between Mr.
Reis and Mr. Valdati and the meeting continued with the next item on
the Agenda.

Unfinished Business ---
Mr. Valdati noted that at a previous meeting Mayor Synnett had requested
a copy of the Town 1987 Budget and to this date he has not received it.
He suggested that we follow up on this and send the Mayor the budget,
as requested.
Mrs. Paino returned to the residents from Myers Corners Road who had
spoken on their concern previously and were awaiting the presence of
others who intended to be present at this meeting. The concern was on
the problems being caused the neighboring residents by the teenage
club at the Castle . Racquett and Fitness Club on Route 376 at
its intersection with Myers Corners Road. The spokesman for the group
had written to Mrs. Paino at the beginning of the year and he recently
indicated that he had received a letter from Mrs. Visconti who indicated
she would handle the situation; Mr. Hengst said he would get back to
Mrs. Paino on this issue. Mr. Hengst explained that this was not a
new concern, it has been going on for a length of time; the complaints
related to noise and damage in the early morning hours ---mail boxes
knocked down, lawns damaged, beer bottle litter and the usual annoying
activity that accompanies a group of teenagers with noconsideration
for others. These were not the average mischievous teenagers and petty
mischief was not the complaint ---their actions were causing damage to
property and great discomfort to the residents. When the police are
155
are summoned, they arrive after the fact and fill out a report but
there's not much they can do unless they witness the act. He lives
a quarter of mile from the club, but the other residents live nearer
and are aggravated with cars parked in their driveways and constant
fights. They are prohibited from beautifying their property with
flowers, shrubs, ornaments for fear that they will not remain on the
property and if they do they will be destroyed. He had questions on
the legality of the club since they had no knowledge on whether it was
allowed there under our zoning laws. The Racquett Club is one use that
was approved, but there was never any publicity on the teenage club
being approved. He couldn't see how they could allow this to happen.
Another resident who lived about three houses from this Club spoke
of the activities at that location that others don't see. The teen-
agers leave the Club, go to their cars and drink and whatever else
they do, then go back to the Club and this goes on until 2 in the
morning. They spin their wheels up Myers Corners Road, back into
his driveway and spin out kicking the gravel on his house; every
Saturday morning he has to clean off the lawn and pick up the litter
of beer bottles and other items he would not mention. He suggested
that more patrols from the State Police, County or Town be put on
between 11 P.M. and 2 or 3 A.M. He invited the Town Board to visit
the site and see for themselves what goes on at that Club.
Mrs. Visconti asked to speak on the matter and spoke of a meeting she
had with Mr. LaSota, owner of the Castle and at that time he assured
her that he had the services of the equivalent of Rent -A -Cop patrolling
the parking lot and they remained there until the lot was empty. She
is aware of the number of cars in the lot since she travels on that
road on Friday night. She noted that the original plans for the
Castle did allow for a night club which would serve liquor and they
did obtain a liquor license. They then changed it to a use which
was more restrictive (non-alcoholic teenage club) and that is a
permitted use. If they revert back to the night club they will have
to go through the procedure with the Planning Board for approval.
She concurred that the situation that now exists is not acceptable,
although it could be if run properly. She intends to meet again with
Mr. LaSota and confront him with the problems in the event he is
oblivious of them. She noted that she has stopped in the early
mornings on Saturdays to review the situation. There is no alcohol
156
on the premises so whatever is being consumed has been brought in
and stashed in the cars.
Mr. Cortellino, member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, was recognized
by the Chair and thought this operation of the teenage club could be
considered two uses on the parcel, which would be a violation of the
zoning ordinance.
Mrs. Paino said she intended to discuss this with the Zoning Admin-
istrator to ascertain if there were any violations.
Other residents of the area spoke of other incidents in the area such
as fights going on resulting in the need for the State Police. The
operation is attracting those out of the area in addition to our own
and this seems to compound the problem. They were concerned about
their own teenagers coming home from various events and being confronted
with the "out of control" clientele from the "Dungeon" or whatever the
current name is. It was suggested by some of the residents that the
Town put on extra patrol to control the situation. At the end of their
presentation, the spokesman, Mr. Hangst thanked the Board for enter-
taining their grievances and commented that they should work together
for the interests of the community and safe living.
Mrs. Paino apologized to the residents for the problems they were
experiencing and reiterated her intention of contacting the Zoning
Administrator on possible violation of two uses on the property and
perhaps that would be the answer to the situation --if not, they would
pursue other avenues until the problems were alleviated.
Jerry McCluskey spoke to the Board on the ongoing problem of dumping
and noted that some residents have put out their debris, assuming that
there will be a spring pick-up; they are also littering the shoulders
of various roads with junk and garbage. He visited the site of the
Castle Point Landfill and thought it could take a lot more fill; he
asked the Board to consider requesting the federal government to take
another look at the site in the event that it could result in a change
of order to close the landfill.
On another matter Mr. McCluskey mentioned that all of a sudden we are
getting a lot of traffic from Stewart Airport resulting from 747's
practice landings, a touch and go situation. It is happening late
at night over the Village in the area of incoming flights to the
Dutchess County Airport. They are very noisy and he questioned the
need for this activity; he asked the Board to consider contacting
157
officials at Stewart Airport to alert them of the inconvenience
this is causing to our area.
Mr. Biancardi, resident of the Pavillion, who was present, along with
other residents of that area, at the last meeting to address the Board
on their concerns on being included in bulk trash removal conducted by
the Town and also the services of the Vandalism Patrol, repeated this request
Mrs. Paino informed him that another resident had spoken to her
previously on this matter and she had asked her to call back on
Wednesdaysince she expected to hear from the Deputy Sheriff in charge
of the Vandalism Patrol relating to the issue of the patrol traveling
on private property.
Bernice Mills approached the Board on the problem of large aircraft
arriving at the Dutchess County Airport in the early morning hours,
2 A.M. and later. They cause the windows to rattle and she wonders
why this activity at that hour of the morning when there's no super-
vision at the airport. It doesn't appear that they stay long and
before you know it, they're taking off which results in more noise.
Her next concern was why was the resignation of the Attorney to the
Town on the Agenda if the "Confidential" letter was not allowed to
be read into the record. Her understanding, as a previous Council -
person on the Town Board, was that once correspondence came into the
Town Clerk's office, it was _ available to the public. When she
served on the Board and this occurred, the matter was not made public
until the confidentiality no longer existed ---it certainly did not
appear on a Town Board Agenda.
It was Mrs. Paino's understanding, through the opinion of the Town
Clerk, that correspondence marked "Confidential" did not have to be
read into the Minutes of the meeting.
Mrs. Snowden acknowledged this fact, pointing out that in this
particular instance, it is a resignation and if the Board intends to
appoint another attorney for this position, there has to be a resignation
first. This does not mean that the letter of resignation has to become
part of the record, that is merely the vehicle to move the action of
resigning. For instance, the Attorney could have verbally resigned
and follow up with a letter after the fact. The Board would then
accept the resignation and file the letter. Mrs. Mills argued that
if the letter was "Confidential" it should remain that way and the
explanation was repeated that the resignation has to be formally accepted
158
to clear the position for another appointment.
Going back to the airport issue , Mrs. Paino noted that she served for
a period of time on the Airport Committee and with the assistance of
the County Legislator also on that Committee, Sandra Goldberg, they
fought long and hard to restrict the noise generated by the large
aircraft and they have gone on record, as has Councilman Farina, as
being animately opposed to the early takeoffs and late landings;
Councilwoman Visconti was also at one of those meetings when this
situation was discussed.
Mrs. Goldberg pointed out that unfortunately they cannot restrict
aircraft from landing at the airport at 2 A.M or whatever early hour
it happens to occur ---the F.A.A. has ruled that it has to accommodate
this air traffic whether or not the tower is open. This has come about
due to a previous court case; all they can do is try to minimize this
traffic. She did not know what aircraft it was, but from Mrs. Milis's
description she assumed it was not corporate aircraft which is why
they are fighting the Richmor Aviation proposal. Such an operation
would result in significantly more traffic than what they are presently
experiencing. Although they cannot stop air traffic at the Airport,
there is definitely no plans for expansion in their Master Plan and
the best they could ask for is to minimize the noise and make sure they
are coming in on the proper runway, or leaving, whatever the case may be.
Although Mrs. Mills suggested that Mrs. Goldberg check the runways these
planes are using, it was pointed out by Mrs. Goldberg that there is a
safety factor involved, depending on weather and wind conditions. There
are ways to check out the proper runway in use on certain days and times
rather than checking it at 2 A.M., as previously suggested by Mrs. Mills.
MRS. PAINO moved to forward a letter to Commissioner of Aviation, Bradley
Whited, indicating that the Town Board has received complaints from
residents of air traffic between hours of 1 A.M. and 5 A.M. and
request that he investigate this activity to determine if it is
necessary to operate during these hours.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti (with comments)
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mrs. Visconti remarked that she is on this Advisory Committee and
unfortunately at the last meeting they were informed that there is
an attempt to curtail the advisory section of the Committee and make
159
it, in essence, a "do nothing" Committee. The Chairman is arranging
a meeting with the County Executive to express their total disagreement to
the fact that the function and responsibilities of the Committee will be
curtailed and make it a "do nothing" show piece for the County Executive.
This, she emphasized, will not be tolerated by the Committee and the
present members will not sit on such a Committee.
Roger Higgins, Wappinger County Legislator, thought this the opportune
time to respond to concerns brought up at a previous meeting on a
business operation next to the Wappingers Creek in the vicinity of
the airport at Jackson Road. The concern was the possible pollution
of the Creek and storage of hazardous chemicals on site. He distributed
two letters to the Town Board, one from Commissioner Whited, the second
from the D.E.C., both substantiating the fact that the charges mentioned
were unfounded. The Mid -Hudson Repair has an approved County lease
for these facilities which does allow for storage of aircraft parts
in relation to the metal fabrication shop housed there; in addition
they are being stored pending resolution of insurance claims; they
have not contaminated the Wappingers creek as alleged. These are
statements in Commissioner Whited's Memo to the County Legislature;
the accompanying letter from the D.E.C. stated that the complaint
filed is totally unfounded and the writer offered further assistance
if required.
New Business ---
Mrs. Visconti requested that the following letter be read into
the Minutes of this meeting:
310 Myers Corners Rd.
Wappingers Falls, NY
May 27, 1987
Mrs. Irene Paino, Supervisor
Town of Wappinger
Town Hall, Middlebush Road
Wappingers Falls, N.Y. 12590
Dear Mrs. Paino:
Since I have had no further word from you, as you had assured
me I would, I am taking this opportunity to write you.
I understood you to say, during our phone conversation on
May 18, 1987, the use of town trucks to deliver clean fill to
private property (as I had seen happen) is wrong and illegal.
If I remember correctly, you said the town had ample use for
fill, and town employees had no right to misappropriate town
equipment and town employees to deliver this material to private
property owners.
160
After talking with you, I called Mrs. Visconti, my Town
Councilperson, and after she checked with two "long-time town
officials", she said that this practice was town "policy",
therefore an acceptable thing to do. When I questioned her on
the use of the work "policy", she amended her statement to say
that this was a practice that has always been followed, and all
you had to do was call the Town and get your name on the list
for clean fill. When I suggested thatmaybe this was "a good
old boys' practice, she indicated this might be the case. She
didn't tell me what other "goodies" might be on the list.
You can see, now, after talking with you and Mrs. Visconti,
I'm confused. Is this practice wrong, as you say, or is it
town policy, as Mrs. Visconti says?
My own opinion is that anyone using town equipment and men
for personal gain is taking unfair advantage of his fellow tax-
payers and is showing a disrespect for the law. Also, when the
Town engages in a give-away program such as this, it is competing
unfairly with private business men who sell clean fill at $8.50
a yard. Is this not Socialism?
In the interests of open communication, I am sending a copy
of this letter to each Board member, and I invite any one of them
to call me at 297-7405. My concern is for the Town and has nothing
to do with partisan interests.
I still look forward to hearing from you, and I hope the
result of any action the Town Board takes will be made public
so that all, and not just a chosen few, will know what is going
on in this regard.
Sincerely yours,
s/ William Ryan
Mrs. Visconti requested that a work shop be held on this matter
since it appears that we have a Town policy which has been in
effect for forever, and it is also a common policy with other Towns
regarding clean fill. The Highway Department finds it necessary
from time to time to dump clean fill and it seems that one of her
constitutents feels that it is not the proper thing to do and she
had investigated and found it to be a common practice. Rather than
have this constituent consider this as one of the "goodies" on the
list, she would like the Board to restate the policy if this is our
policy and clue in the other residents.
A second item brought forth by Mrs. Visconti was another letter
from a constituent regarding our tenant policy for water and districts.
As a tenant to a district and paying double the amount of the current
rates, the resident feels, and justifiably so, according to Mrs.
Visconti, there should be a time when tenants catch up, money wise,
with the homeowner in the district. She wished to refer this matter
to their new attorney, when appointed, and set up a work shop to
consider this tenant's suggestions. If it can be remedied by his
suggestion, well and good, if not, the policy will remain as it
has been, forever and forever.
Mrs. Paino requested that a copy of this letter be forwarded to
Debbie Brown, Town Water and Sewer Billing Clerk.
There was no other business to come before the Board.
MR. REIS moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Mr. Farina and
unanimously carried.
The meeting adjourned at 8:43 P.M.
