The Minutes of the Regular Bimonthly Meeting of January 6th,

having previously been forwarded to all Board Members, were now

MRS. VISCONTI moved that the above stated Minutes be and they

Petitions & Communications ---
A report was received from Morris & Andros relating to
preliminary cost estimates on the Fleetwood Water Sulfur
Treatment System. Mrs. Paino offered her comment that she had
met with the new Engineers to the Town regarding this project.
MR. MCCUSKEY moved to refer the Morris & Andros Report to
the new Engineers, Paggi & Martin, for their review and
recommendation to the Town Board.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. John Buzzurro of 7 Doyh Drive in the Town of Wappinger
wrote to the Board relating an incident of the Town Highway
Department knocking down his son's basketball set-up while
plowing on Sunday January 5, 1986. He claimed this was done
without regard for others property, speeding, close proximity
to the curb and failure to slow down or stop after knocking
the pole down. Mr. Buzzurro was concerned and aggravated due
to the fact that his son had surgery on his arm and hand and
uses the sport as a form of his therapy. He requested the Town
to replace the pole at a cost of $60.00 and removed the old one.
Mr. Farina reported that he visited Mr. Buzzurro's home after
this incident and observed the the basketball pole was approxi-
mately two feet from the road and there is no evidence that the
plow hit the pole. He explained to Mr. & Mrs. Buzzurro that the
pole was located within the Town right-of-way and the Town could
not reinstall the pole since that would imply complicit consent
for them to use the right-of-way and that the Town would then
accept responsibility for anything placed within that right-of-
way. Mr. Farina noted that Mr. Buzzurro contacted the Town
Board after he had this conversation with them, to request the
reimbursement; this claim has been forwarded to the Town's
insurance agent , Marshall & Sterling, for appropriate action.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to send a letter to John Buzzurro advising
him that his claim has been forwarded to Marshall & Sterling,
the Town's insurance carrier.
Seconded by Mr. Reis
Motion Unanimously Carried
Attorney Harold Reilly wrote to the Board, on behalf of his
client, Lor -Mare Corp. relating to acceptance of the road
within that Subdivision, by the Town; they are willing to
put up $30,000.00 since their Letter of Credit has expired.
A letter was received from the Town Engineers, Paggi & Martin,
recommending that an inspection be made of the existing
conditions by their office and Mr. Croshier, Highway Superin-
tendent; they will then determine the various quantities of
work to be done and assign an associated cost.
MR. REIS moved to refer this matter to the Town Engineers and
the Highway Superintendent for review and inspection and advise
Lor -Mare Corp. that these agencies will be inspecting the road
and they will be advised of their determination upon completion
of their inspection.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Notification was received from Peter Marlow, Public Health
Engineer with the Dutchess County Department of Health, that
this Department has received our Engineer's Construction
Compliance Letter for the new Town Hall sewage disposal system.
Based on this letter, the Department of Health has no objection
to the immediate use of the sewage disposal system.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to receive this communication, forward a
copy to Hayward and Pakan, and file.
Seconded by Mr. Farina
Motion Unanimously Carried
A late correspondence was received from Marlene Mills, Assessors
Aide, requesting permission to attend Phase I Training for
Assessors at the Farm & Home Center in Millbrook, New York
from February 3rd thru February 7th, 1986. Since the course
started the same day as the next Town Board Meeting, Mrs.
Snowden placed it before the Board for their consideration.
Mrs. Mills indicated in her letter that except for her travel
expenses, there would be no cost to the Town for the course.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to grant permission to Marlene Mills to
attend the course at Millbrook, New York from February 3rd
thru the 7th, and her travel expenses would be a Town charge.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. McCluskey added further comments ---in the future memos
should be send to all personnel wishing to attend various
seminars, that since notification of these courses are usually
forwarded well in advance of the actual date, the Town Board
would appreciate receiving these request from the personnel
desiring to attend the various functions, at an earlier date.
Committee Reports ---
Mr. McCluskey had no Committee Reports, but did have a matter
of concern he wished to discuss. Many developers put in requests
for the Town to accept the roads in their respective subdivisions
which are then referred to the Highway Superintendent and the
Engineer for inspection and recommendation to the Ton Board.
In many cases, recommendations of non-acceptance are submitted
to the Board by these agencies, including a list of items to
be complied with by the developer before they give their
the condition of the roads. Usually a second inspection
OK on
is
required due to non-compliance and the procedure is repeated
and possibly a third inspection is necessary. Due to the time
and money invested in these inspections, Mr. McCluskey recom-
mended that a committee be set up by the Supervisor for the
purpose of working with the Highway Superintendent and the
Engineer to formulate a hefty fee schedule to be charged to
those developers requiring three or more inspections. This,
he felt, would discourage the present practi o of many developers
failing to comply with the conditions set forth before they
resubmit their requests for Town acceptance of the roads.
Mrs. Paino commented that she would discuss this with the
Highway Superintendent, the Engineers and the Attorney to the
Town, for their recommendations.
Councilman Reis, Building and Housing Committee ---spent the
last
Hall
tile
two weeks, a few hours every other day at the new Town
and observed minor problems with flooring and delivery of
for the main Conference Room and Justice Court. These
problems were brought to Mr. Liscum's attention. The floor
problem will be corrected and the ceiling tiles for the above
mentioned rooms were shipped 2i to 3 weeks ago from Atlanta,
Georgia ---delivery date is not known. There is no anticipated
moving date set at this time.
Councilman Farina, Water & Sewer Committee ---discussed a
recurrent problem at Maxwell Place with Camo Pollution Control
re water overflowing over the top of the water tower, due to
vandalism on the drain pipe. It is constantly plugged with
beer bottles and other debris. Since this condition has involved
many trips by Camo to clean out the pipe, last week they
installed a grill across the pipe to eliminate the reoccurrence
of this problem.
Water---Brinckerhoff Water System will be purchased by the
Town of Fishkill; Mr. Farina intends to meet with a Councilman
from Fishkill to make arrangements for the 130 Town of Wappinger
customers to continue to receive this service, and will work on
a contract between the two Towns.
Budget & Finance ---asked for a Town Board resolution for an
audit of the Town Books.
Councilwoman Visconti had no Committee Reports for this meeting,
but requested the Town Clerk to send a letter to Commissioner
Whited, Dutchess County Airport, stating that she is the liaison
member of the Town Board for the Airport Advisory Committee.
Mrs. Paino indicated that the letter has been forwarded to
Commissioner Whited.
Supervisor Paino reported that she met with the C.P.A's to
the Town, Sedore & O'Sullivan, this week, and a review of
the books show few internal controls from the previous
administration; she therefore, recommended that an audit be
made of the 1985 Town Accounting Books.
MR. FARINA moved to authorize the accounting firm of Sedore &
O'Sullivan to conduct an audit of the 1985 Town Books.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
As indicated by Councilman Farina, Mrs. Paino stated that a
meeting was held last week, attended by Councilman Richard
Roubaud of the Town of Fishkill, regarding the purchase of
the Brinckerhoff Water System, and she requested that the
Board consider Councilman Farina as the liaison member of the
Board regarding this matter.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to appoint Vincent Farina as liaison from
the Town Board to work with Richard Roubaud on a contract
between the two Towns on the water system, which will be
finalized by the Attorney to the Town.
Seconded by Mr. Reis

In the matter of the Town taking over the Fieldstone Farms
Pumping Station which the Board referred to Camo Pollution
Control for inspection and recommendation, the following letter
was received from that Company:
January 21, 1986
Irene Paino, Supervisor
Town of Wappinger
Town Hall
P.O. Box 324
Wappingers Falls, N.Y. 12590
Dear Supervisor Paino,
In my recent memo dated January 6, 1986 regarding
Fieldstone Farms Pumping Station, I informed you the pump
station was not operating properly. Since that time the
owner has repaired the station and our recent inspection
revealed the station operating properly. In lieu of this,
Camo Pollution Control, Inc. recommends the Town of Wappinger
accept the pumping station pending the following:
A) Drainage around pump station and wet well be
altered so run off water does not cover wet well
man hole resulting in inflow.
B) The following spare parts accompany the acceptance
of the pump station:
1) 4L187 Alternator
2) 3/4 Solenoid Valve
3) 94A31 Repair Kit for 1L385A
(Delivery time approximately (3) three weeks)
C) In the past when accepting a pump station similar
to Fieldstone Farms. The Town has also received
an emergency gasoline compressor to be used during
a power failure. This should be investigated.
If you have any questions on this matter, I can be
reached at 473-9200.
Very truly yours,
s/ Michael P. Tremper
Vice President
Councilman Farina had spoken to Mike & Jim Tremper on this
matter and they revealed that the drainage system was poor
and they would not recommend the Town taking over this pump
station until the drainage was resolved. He had previously
recommended that the Town obtain a warranty on the pumping
station and when this was discussed with Mike Tremper, he
indicated that
that may occur
spare parts would be adequate to cover failures
per their knowledge of the history of the system.
MR. FARINA moved to notify Mr. Klein that the Town will not
accept the pumping station until the conditions outlined in
Camo's letter of January 21, 1986 are met.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
The following report was received from Paggi & Martin regarding
the acceptance of Sabia Drive, a matter which had been referred
to them at the previous meeting:

Road Acceptance
Dear Members of the Board:
We are in receipt of a letter from Croniser Construction
Corp., dated December 18, 1985, and a letter from Morris &
Andros, dated January 2, 1986, regarding the. above (copies
enclosed). We have also discussed this item with Ken
Croshier, Highway Superintendent.
At the present time, it is our feeling that the Town should
not accept the road. A letter should be sent to the developer
asking that the items in the Morris & Andros letter be done
and then inspected by our office and Mr. Croshier.
If we can be of further assistance, please call me.
Very truly yours,
s/ Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E.
MRS. PAINO moved to send a letter to the developer, at the
recommendation of Paggi & Martin, indicating that they comply
with the items outlined in the letter of January 2, 1986 from
Morris & Andros, and enclose a copy of said letter.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried

Mr. McCluskey noted that this was the situation he referred
to previously in the Agenda under Committee Reports; this is
the fourth or fifth time the developer has requested that
Sabia Drive be accepted, has not complied with the requirements
and has wasted too much of the Town's time.
Mr. Croshier interjected his comments on the history of this
development ---Mr. Croniser took it over from another developer
who left it and now has the task of complying; he probably did
not even read the specs, however, Mr. Croshier said they would
go up there in the near future to make sure these items are
adhered to.
The next item on the Agenda was the appointment of a Board of
Ethics which had been previously tabled; Mrs. Paino requested
the Board Members to offer their appointment to this Board.

and the Department of Audit and Control.
It was indicated by Mrs. Paino that the Clerk to the Supervisor,

Unfinished Business ---
A Bid for Refinishing the furniture in the Town Hall was tabled
from the last meeting. Mr. Reis, Co -Chairman of the Building
and Housing Committee, reported that he had reviewed the one
bid received from Electro -Refinishing Inc. and noted that some
of the furniture itemized is not considered salvageable. Mr.
McCluskey had also reviewed the contents of the material used
in the process and felt they could be hazardous to those who
came in contact with them. The company would not agree to
conducting the project at another location and return it to
the Town Hall upon completion. It was his recommendation that
the Town not accept the bid for the reasons he has stated.
MR. REIS moved to reject the bid from Electro -Refinishing Inc.
for refinishing the Town furniture at a cost of $12,616.00.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Incoronato, being recognized by the Chair, noted that this
bid was in the amount of $12,000 ---has the Board determined
the cost of replacing this furniture as opposed to refinishing
it.
Mr. Reis replied that they have not determined this cost, however,
the time period granted to the Board to act on the bid will expire
within a day or two and the Board, therefore must take
action at this meeting.
At a previous meeting, Mr. McCluskey requested that a letter
be directed to the New York State Department of Transportation
requesting that they plow the main roads of the area more
expeditiously, due to the heavy traffic. He was specifically
referring to the snowstorm on January 5, 1986. A response was
received Stating that the department will try to commence
plowing earlier and thanked us for bringing it to their
attention. Mr. McCluskey was pleased with their reception of
this complaint and their cooperative attitude.
New Business ---
Mrs. Paino noted that the Town Board met at a work shop
meeting with the owners of the Montfort/Nessler Subdivision,
off of Route 9. Today she received correspondence from their
attorneys requesting that the Town Board consider rezoning two
of these lots. She recognized the two owners of the subdivision
and asked' if they wished to make a presentation to the Town
Board. Mt. Montfort stated that they are requesting that the
two lots be zoned back to General Business; they were not aware
that theylhad been changed from that category to residential
zoning. Mr. Nessler presented a copy of the subdivision map
to the Town Board, however, in order for the Board to properly
review this request, the Town Clerk informed the gentlemen
the request must be formally submitted to the Board with
specific documents such as a detailed map, their intended use
of the property, if rezoned, etc. They were requested to
contact the Town Clerk during her business hours and she would
provide an itemized list of these documents to submit at the
next Town Board Meeting.
Sandra Goldberg, Wappinger County Legislature, was recognized
by the Chair, and reported that a proposal from Richmor Aviation
relating to turning over the county airport to this company as
a fixed operator, would be on the County Legislature Agenda,
Monday, January 27, 1986. They will take over the operation
of the most significant activities, money -wise, at the airport
and their intent is to bring in a charter service which signifies
an increase in night flights. The Town can get involved by
416
voicing their objection to this proposal thru written
correspondence to be presented at the public hearing, which
Mrs. Goldberg felt certain would be set at this meeting; she
felt it very likely that the proposal would get through the
committee and the Legislature, as a whole. It was suggested
by Mrs. Goldberg, if it was the wish of the Town Board, that
she check on the possibility of holding the public hearing
in this Town.
Mrs. Paino wished to go on record as against bringing more
traffic into the area ---it remains to be seen whether the
County will benefit financially from this operation.
Mr. McCluskey wished to make a motion that the Town Board
express their serious reservations to any further development
of night traffic at the airport; Mrs. Paino, however, felt
that they should have additional information before moving
for correspondence to be sent to the County. She was in favor
of holding the public hearing in the Town of Wappinger.
Mrs. Goldberg recommended that the other Wappinger County
Legislators be contacted before the Committee Meeting on
Monday to alert them to the wishes of the Town that the
public hearing be held in Wappinger.
Mr. McCluskey had one item to question Mrs. Goldberg on,
that being the fence at the County property on Jackson Road;
he acknowledged that Mrs. Goldberg said it would take a long
time, but he didn't think this long. It was a subject Mrs.
Goldberg hesitated to discuss since it seems all she can do
is relate the promises from the Dutchess County Department
of Public works; she did inform him that federal monies were
due this year to cover the fence and the promised shoulders
on the County roads, but again, she could make no promises,
except to say that it was on the back shelf, but not forgotten.
Mrs. Bernice Mills was recognized by the Chair and stated that
she wished to go on record as against the proposal from Richmor
Aviation taking over the operation at the County Airport. She
also felt the Town Board should thoroughly review the activities
at the airport and contact the County with their objection to
the proposal and their concern for the area residents.
Charles Cortellino, was recognized by the Chair, and recom-
mended that the Town look into a type of telephone answering
141
service where messages could be left for the residents,
similar 10 the WEATHER Phone that supplies you with the
local coiditions.
Mrs. Godberg, speaking as a resident, was concerned on
the pumpl.ng pressure of water at the Atlas Water system
after thEir blowout yesterday.
Mrs. Paiho stated that she was also concerned since they
are being operated manually, she thought there might be a
problem with the pump, but Mr. Lafko indicated that he had
conducted a test not too long ago and there was no problem.
He also stated that he would be receiving a new pressure tank
very shortly which would solve the problem. There was further
discussion with Mr. Lafko re using the Town water since there
is an interconnection, but her feelings were, there would have
to be dire necessity. The Town's concern was that of cross
contaminition if Atlas Water was not potable, it could affect
CWWIA water. Mrs. Paino, therefore, requested the Attorney to
the Town to draw up a release for the principals of Atlas to
sign, holding the Town harmless for any damages, cost, etc.
that could happen if the water was intermingled. Mrs. Paino
related her activities during the water cutoff regarding
communications with all involved.
There wal no other business to come before the Board.
MR. MCCLTSKEY moved to adjourn the Meeting, seconded by Mr.
