was planning a picnic at Robinson Lane on September llth, 1983
from 1:00 P.M. until dusk.

MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to grant the exemption to Local Law #5 of 1980,
paragraph 3, to the Town of Wappinger Republican Committee for the
18th day of September, 1983, at Robinson Lane, Town of Wappinger.

informing him that the waiver has been granted and designating him

Mr. Versace referred to correspondence received by the Board
relating to the conversion of Hidden Hollow Apartments to condo-
miniums. He had received calls from some senior citizens living
in that complex expressing concern that approval for this conversion
would be given by the Attorney General's office before a law which
was introduced by the state in July of this year, could be adopted
on a local level. The intent of this law was to protect senior
citizens and the handicapped from eviction by owners of the apart-
ment
complex during the conversion process. As of today the Attorney
General's office had not given approval for this conversion and Mr.
Versace felt it was important to act expeditiously in order to pro-
tect these people. He requested that the Attorney be directed to
prepare a resolution in this matter for consideration of the Board
at a Special Meeting sometime this week.
MR. VERSACE moved that a Special Meeting be set for August 25th, t14 PM
for the purpose of adopting a resolution for the protection of
senior citizens and the handicapped during apartment/condominium
conversions.
Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
MR. MCCLUSKEY moved to close the Special Meeting, seconded by
Mr. Versace and unanimously carried.
The meeting closed at 7:08 P.M.
