representatives, Mr. Logan stated that he was available to answer
questions and if they still were not satisfied, they can file a
grievance with the Review Board on the third Tuesday in May. He
added that they were doing everything they could to help the residents,
and the Town Board has provided every benefit under the law to give
exemptions to eligible senior citizens and veterans.
In response to Mayor Synnett's request, Mrs. Paino responded that
she had no problem with arranging hearings for the Village residents,
especially the senior citizens, at the Village Hall; she suggested
that when they call Finnegan Associates for an appointment, they
should inform them that they are Village residents, and arrangements
will be made for them to meet at the Village Hall.

Re: Old Hopewell Road, CR 28, Curb Cuts
Dear Ms. Snowden:
In response to your letter of September 8, 1986 wherein
Councilman Vincent Farina cited a potentially dangerous situation
on Old Hopewell Road concerning the side access of the 7 -Eleven
Store located at the Route 9 intersection; Mr. Farina requested
we consider the recommendation of the Town Board that the curb
cut in question be closed.
Because closure of this cut would put additional traffic
onto Route 9, we discussed this with the D.O.T. They are very
much opposed to the closure as it would increase the accident
potential on Route 9 for which they may have some liability.
They would consider other options such as a traffic island to
prevent turns, additional lanes, etc.
We note that the County Planning Commissioner, Mr. Akeley,
responded to your letter on September 29, 1986 and stated they
would study the master plan and examine the conditions at the

Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk
The Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavits of Posting
and Publication duly signed and notarized. (These Affidavits are
attached hereto and made part thereof of the Minutes of this
Hearing).
The water rates for this Area will be reduced by approximately 5%
and is a direct result of the Leak Detection Study conducted -in
CWWIA by Heath Consultants. Our Engineer to the Town had earlier
indicated there appeared to be a 40% loss of water in the system
and recommended that the study be conducted. At this time about
99% of the repairs have been completed and the 40% water loss has
been reduced to 10% to 15% ---zero water loss is next to impossible.
This reduction in water loss has resulted in lower electric bills
and less usage of chemicals; for these reasons, the Town Board has
been able to reduce the rates for CWWIA.
Mrs. Paino asked if there were any comments from the public regarding
this proposed Local Law.
There were no comments made either for or against the Local Law.
MR. REIS moved to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Mrs. Visconti,
and unanimously carried.
The Public Hearing closed at 7:32
