Mr. Diehl explained the purpose of the meeting was to transfer
funds to commence work on the Mid -Point Park sewer plant. Hall &
Company had come in with a low bid of $15,100 on the assumption
they would get all three jobs on the other sewer plants that needed
work. The bid price would only stay at this figure if it included
all work that was bid on. Since this work was mandated by the
Dutchess County Department of Health, it was suggested that the
necessary funds be transferred from the General Fund, Part Town
with interest.
MR. DIEHL moved that the sum of $15,100.00 be transferred from
General Fund Part Town to Mid -Point Park Sewer District for the
purpose of completing work at the Mid -Point Sewer Plant and further
that this sum be repaid with interest upon favorable response to
the bond sale.
Seconded by Mr. Jensen

Re: Oakwood S.T.P.
Hydraulic Situation
Dear Board Members:
As per your request, this office has begun to evaluate the
hydraulic situation at the above referenced facility. Based
on our preliminary calculations, we find no hydraulic deficiency
with the facility as originally designed.
Since the major area of concern is between the bio -discs and
the final clarifiers; it is our recommendation that the pipelines
connecting these units be rodded and cleaned out as there may be
a blockage present.
If there are any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E.
MR. JENSEN moved that the Engineer be instructed to contact the
proper rodding companies to clean out the sewer lines at the
Oakwood Sewer Plant.
Seconded by Mr. Diehl.

Mr. Diehl then made reference to letter from Camo Pollution
Control of January 25, 1978 with four specific suggestions made
by Mr. Marcogliese of the New York State Department of Environ-
mental Conservation. Items #1, 2 & 3 had been taken care of at
regular meeting of Town Board held April 10, 1978, Item #4 remained,
regarding a cover for the sludge holding tank at Oakwood. Camo
felt a cover would serve no purpose since it would be next to
impossible to make it air tight. Mr. Lapar, in his letter of
February 15, 1978 to the Town Board agreed with Camo.
MR. JENSEN moved that copies of Camo Pollution Control letter
dated January 25, 1978 and Mr. Lapar's letter of February 15,
1978, be sent to Mr. Marcogliese of the New York State Department
6 91 10)
of Environmental Conservation and inform him that contents of
such letters indicate further discussion is warranted.

In other business, Mrs. Mills reported that she had checked into
the Memorial Day Holiday, and according to law, the holiday must
be celebrated on Tuesday, May 30, 1978. Mr. Adams further ex-
plained that under the Public Officers Law, Section 63 of the
State of New York, it is mandated that we observe this holiday
kir
on May 30th, and since we are a municipality, we are under this
jurisdiction. Mrs. Mills said they had considered closing the
Town offices on the 29th of May in order to give the employess a
three day weekend.
MRS. MILLS moved that a letter be sent to all Department Heads
advising them that Tuesday, May 30th, 1978, would be the date
that all Town Offices would be closed to observe Memorial Day.
Seconded by Mrs. Reilly.
