Re: Contract - CWWIA/Atlas Water Co./
Cranberry Water Improvement Area
Dear Members of the Town Board:
I have been advised by telephone by Ron Lafko that
conversations had by him with representatives of the Department
of Environmental Conservation indicate that it will be necessary
for applications to be made by Atlas, CWWIA and Cranberry for
the exchange of water, the latter applications necessary to
permit the purchase of the water. It had originally been our
hope that the application of Atlas would be sufficient for this.
Under the foregoing circumstances, the provisions of the
agreement which require Atlas to make application within fifteen
days need to be modified to provide for the joint application of
all the parties. I enclose for your consideration a brief adden-
dum to the contract for such purpose.
Very truly ,yours
s/ Jon Holden Adams
AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT dated December 16, 1983 between
the CENTRAL WAPPINGER WATER IMPROVEMENT AREA (CWWIA), the
CRANBERRY WATER IMPROVEMENT AREA (Cranberry) and ATLAS WATER CO.
(Atlas) .
WHEREAS, on December 16, 1983 an agreement was entered into
between the foregoing entities for the sale and purchase of
water and for other services, and
WHEREAS, said agreement provided that the necessary appli-
cation to implement the agreement was to be made by Atlas to the
appropriate regulatory agencies within fifteen (15) days of
said agreement, and
WHEREAS, Atlas in initiating the application process has
ascertained from representatives of the regulatory agencies that
separate applications will also be necessary from the two munici-
pal entities, and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to modify the agreement to
conform its provisions to the foregoing application process,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter recited, IT IS AGREED that paragraph "FIVE" is
amended by providing that the implementation of this agreement
shall be subject to the obtaining of such permits as are
necessary and that all parties to the agreement will apply
for the necessary permits as expeditiously as possible and will
mutually consult with each other and cooperate with each other
in the undertaking of such permit applications.
CENTRAL WAPPINGER WATER
IMPROVEMENT AREA
Mr. Versace commented that in previous discussions of this
Agreement, it was indicated that no expense would be involved
to CWWI, however, engineering and attorney fees pertinent to
this Agreement have been paid by the district and if another
application has to be submitted there will be additional fees
to the district.
MR. DIEHL moved to approve the amended Agreement and the Supervisor
be authorized to sign said Agreement with the understanding
there would be no cost to the Town of Wappinger
no future expense to the district.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson

Mrs. Mills objected to the fact that some departments had purchased
items that had not been included in their budget, specifically, a
new typewriter purchased by the Justice Court several months ago
and a new desk for the Building and Zoning Department. The proper
procedure, she continued, was to request permission from the Town
Board before making these purchases.
Mr. McCluskey felt that the Town should be making purchases through
the state and county bidding process which could represent a sub-
stantial reduction on the items that were purchased.
MR. JOHNSON moved to approve the budget transfers as presented.

MRS. MILLS moved to approve the encumbered bills for 1983 for
the water and sewer districts, as submitted.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
The following encumbered bills were received from the Recreation
Commission:
A7110.4 - Contelmo Sand and Gravel, Inc. 43,256.00
Dom D'Agostino's Nursery 543.00
Wappingers Central School -
Custodian Fees 32.00
B7310.4 - Glenn Scofield Traffic Control 12/11 36.00
Don Williams Traffic Control 12/11 36.00
Dutchess County Assoc. for
Senior Citizens 312.00
Mrs. Mills objected to encumbering the bill from Contelmo
since it had not been included in the Recreation Commission
budget and the material was to be delivered to the Wappinger
Junior High School. Another objection was that the material
had not been received and therefore could not be considered
as an encumbered bill.
Mr. Versace commented that it was explained to him that two
separate items had been combined from the Recreation budget to
arrive at the amount required for the material and this was not
the proper procedure since all transfers must be approved by the
Town Board.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to table the bill from Contelmo Sand and
Gravel in the amount of $3,256.00.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mr. Diehl ---Abstained
Mr. McCluskey requested the Town Clerk to contact the Attorney
for a legal opinion on the validity of expending Town monies for
material for school property.
The Board Members also raised a question on the bill from Dom
D'Agostino's Nursery since the material had not been received
and there was no information on where it was to be delivered.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to table the bill from Dom D'Agostino's
Nursery in amount of $543.00.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mr. Diehl ---Abstained
MR. JOHNSON moved to encumber the bill from Wappingers Central
School - Custodian Fees in the amount of $32.00.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills

Scofield and Don Williams, Traffic Control, total amount $72.00.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
The bill from the Dutchess County Association for Senior Citizens
represented funding to keep the Wappinger Ceater open an extra
hour a week during 1984 and therefore could not be encumbered
for 1983.
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to table the bill from Dutchess County
Association for Senior Citizens in the amount of $312.00.
Seconded by Mrs. Mills
Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mr. Diehl ---Abstained
A memo was received from the Comptroller requesting that the
amount of $47,365.75 be encumbered from the Highway Fund monies
in 1983 from the State of New York for the Chips Program for a
highway project to be completed in 1984.
MR. JOHNSON moved to encumber the amount of $47,365.75 for the
Chips Program, as requested by the Comptroller.
Seconded by Mr. Diehl
