The total salary would remain the same.

as requested by the Comptroller.
Motion Unanimously Carried
February 10, 1978
As previously discussed with the Town Board, the Tall Trees
Water District has had some financial troubles in the past year.
One of them being the pump burning out and having to be re-
placed and our having to purchase and truck in water during the emer-
gency period - this was quite expensive. Another being that the
district had $1,424.50 in unpaid water bills as of year end. Ac-
cordingly we had to delay paying back the loan the district borrowed
from the general fund. There remains a balance of $100.00 which
should be paid in the next few days.
Once again we face the problem of Tall Trees debt service. This
year we have the district on a benefit assessment, however, due to
the tri -payment method of collecting taxes we will not receive all
our money until September or October.
Therefore, the district needs another loan from the General
Fund ("B") to pay principal and interest of up to $5,925.00. This
loan will be repaid as taxes are collected and the district will also
pay (as per town policy) the General Fund an interest "fee" of
approximately 5%.

Re: CPA Appointment
As a provision of the E.D.A. Grants that we were awarded,
the Federal Government requires that an independent audit be con-
ducted by C.P.A.'s and has provided funds in the grant for this
purpose.
As we have already applied for our first draw down against the
grant, now would be an appropriate time to consider the appointment.
I would recommend a fee schedule of $25.00 per hour not to
exceed the amount provided for in the grant.
Matthew Ryan
Comptroller
Mr. Diehl felt it would be logical to appoint Pelligrini & Sedore
the present CPA's that have been working on the Town Books.
Mr. DIBHL moved to appoint Pelligrini & Sedore CPA's to conduct
independent audit of the Town of Wappinger as a provision of the
E.D.A.Grants that the Town was awarded, at a fee not to exceed
$25.00 an hour.
Seconded by Mr. Jensen.
Motion Unanimously Carried
At this point Mr. Versace being recognized by the chair requested a
copy of the transfer of Sewer Improvement #1 and Mr. Diehl said the
Town Clerk would supply it to him after the meeting.
A rezoning petition was recieved from Michael & Isabella Busi, 291
Myers Corners Road to rezone their 2 i acres of land from multiple
R40 dwelling to LB. They intend to use this land for a restaurant
and bar,since they are now leasing in East Fishkill to conduct this
business and find it difficult to pay on both places.
Mr. Diehl felt he could not consider this rezoning since this area
is predominantly residential.
Mr. Jensen concurred with Mr. Diehl, it would not be conclusive to
the area. Rather than go through the whole procedure of a public
hearing he felt the request should not be honored.
MR. JENSEN moved that a letter should be -sent to the petitioners
stating that the Town Board does not wish to entertain this request.

Mr. Diehl said from reading these communications it appears the
entire problem is related to a drainage pipe put in by a past
owner of his own desire. They were notified at that time that
the pipe was inadequate to handle heavy storm runoff.
The following letter was received from Mr. Jack Devine.
47 Spook Hill Road
Wappingers Falls,N.Y.
January 11, 1978
Wappingers Town Board
Wappinagers Falls,N.Y.
Dear Members:
We have lived at 47 Spook Hill Road since March of 1969. We
have a problem we feel should be brought to the Town Board's
attention. At the end of our driveway is a culvert with a 24"
pipe that allows a stream to pass through'it..
In the past, when the town experienced unusual flooding condi-
tions, the stream would swell and flood over the driveway causing
small washouts that were repaired with relative ease.
During the past two years however, the bridge has been flooded
eight or nine times. This is considerably more than the average
floodings in the past. Sometimes the flooding occurs after a
relatively small amount of rainfall and this has never happened in
the past.
We have been advised that there have been some changes made
in the upper reaches of the stream that could be responsible for
the flooding conditions we have been experiencing. New and bigger
pipes have been added to alleviate flooding conditions on Old
Hopewell Road and Spook Hill Road, If this is the case we feel the
town should construct a bigger culvert at our section of the stream
so that we don't have to suffer from the corrections made above us.
Since the problem is complex and expert opinion will be needed,
we would like an opportunity to present our case before the Town
Board. The concrete of the abutment is in danger of collapsing
and we worry if it would accept the weight of heavy fire equipment
or an oil truck.
We ask for an early appointment to discuss this problem with you.
Sincerely
s/Jack Devine

February 10, 1978
Memo To: Louis D.Diehl, Supervisor
From: William P. Horton
Re; Flooding Condition,47 Spook Hill Rd., Devine Property
In the 1930's the orginal owner of this property installed the
existing 24" pipe under the driveway. At that time he was informed
that the size was inadequate to handle heavy storm runoff since the
up -stream culverts were 4'x4' box culverts. Any rain over 2" results
in flooding and washouts at this particular location.
This little stream that flows under Mr. Devine's driveway, has
its origin in the undeveloped area between Eck Road. and Cedar Hill
Road, crosses Old Hopewell Road. and Spook Hill Road, and continues
through Mr. Devine's property,‘crossing under his driveway and then
through properties on Robert's Road until it crosses under the Myers
Corners Road and eventually to the Wappinger Creek. Usually by mid-
summer the stream dries up completely.
6
1
Through the years three holding ponds have been constructed
between the source of the stream and Mr. Devine's property one
immediately south of Old Hopewell Road crossing, one immediately
north of the Old Hopewell Road crossing, and one located near the
Orchard Homes Water Plant.
In 1970 the town replaced the box culvert crossing under Spook
Hill Road with twin 48" pipes. Around 1975 the county replaced
their culvert under Old Hopewell Road with pipes, in each case to
alleviate flooding conditions which forced road closings.
I believe, if you check the records, you will find a sub-
stantial increase in the rainfall over the past two years.
In my estimation the problem lies in the fact that the pipe
crossing under Mr. Devine's driveway is too small to take the
volume of water.
Mr. Devine was present and informed the Board that work was being done
above where he lives. Since that time the flooding has increased -
the new houses across the street, according to Mr. Devine have added
to this problem. He has lived there through floods and he had a
minimum of 2" -- now after a light rain, the water comes over the
culvert. He feels something should be done on his portion of the
street. He spoke of Mr. Jensen and Mr. Johnson visiting this area.
The only thing holding the culvert together is ice. He did not
want a quick decision tonight. He felt he wanted an opinion from
his own experts.
Mr. Diehl asked him if the culvert he spoke of was the one in his
driveway and did he feel if it was enlarged would that correct his
problem. Mr. Diehl felt since this was put in by a previous owner
who had been informed at that time it would not be sufficient, then
it was now the responsibility of the present owner of the house
(Mr. Devine) to correct it, not the town.
Mr. Johnson had made an inspection with Mr. Jensen and noted that
the water was not going through on the upstream side of the culvert.
I It also appeared that the water was not going downstream either. Mr.
Horton informed them the stream had not been maintained in over 10
11110 years. It has built up.
Mr. Devine said they cleaned on both sides of the bridge although
it was not his property. He felt this responsibiltiy should be shared.
Mr. Jensen addressed Mr. Devine on the information Mr. Horton had
provided. The Board had expedited this instead of waiting until
the meeting to refer it to Mr. Horton. He felt it would be prudent
to wait for information from Mr. Lapar on the downstream situation
in that area. He felt it should also be referred to the attorney.
641
MR. JENSEN moved that Mr. Lapar submit a report on this matter
and also referred to Mr. Rappleyea and Mr. Devine should be
supplied with a copy of Mr. Horton's memo to Mr. Diehl.
Seconded by Mr. Johnson.

Letter Dated October 13, 1977
Dear Lou:
In regard to the specific suggestions made by Mr. Marcogliese
in the above correspondence we would like to make the following
comments:
1. Extending the primary and secondary lines below the
liquid level in the sludge holding tank has not been
completed. We forwarded you a proposal on this
sometime ago which you haven't responded to. There is
some concern on our part that extending these pipes
might present the possibility of freezing during the
winter months and therefore we would not want to
carry this out without some consultation with the
Town Engineer.
2. We also gave you a proposal for extending the diffusers
in the above correspondpence. We feel that this would
be a good idean and Mr. Lapar agreed.
3. We injected chlorine and hydrogen peroxide and deodorant
into the sludge viewing box before freezing weather set
in. To install an all weather feed system would involve
some expense.
4. We feel the cover would not serveany purpose
it would be next to impossible to ?ake it air
5. The deodorizers caused more problelip in that

6. The door to the blower room is kept closed at all times
and new filters are being purchased to muffle the sound
of the blowers.
There haven't been any complaints of late because most res-
idents keep their windows closed during the winter months. We
feel that the problems will reoccur in the Spring and can only
recommend that we proceed with further studies in regard to the
rate of sludge settleability in the sludge holding tank and
increase the frequency in which sludge is removed by scavenger
truck. The addition of chemicals for odor control in the primary
sludge viewing boxes should be continued and improved upon.
We have of late been experiencing some hydraulic problems at
this system which must be further reviewed.
Please advise as to any further action you wish us to take.

Wappingers Falls, N.Y.
Dear Irs,. Breining:
Enclosed please find the final plot plan filed for yctr tot
(No.88). The contours indicate that no drainage ditches or swales
exist on the rear of your property.
A study of your filed maps by the appropriate Town Officials
indicates that the Town is not responsible for what you consider to
be a town problem.
Please take notice of the elevations on the enclosed map. The
engineer (R.G.Barger) has "shown 242 to 237 to the town road which
indicates that all surface water would drain off this property to
the street.
This engineer, hired by the builder, is licensed by the State
of New York and the elevations are verified by his signature.
It is understandable that soil settling may have taken place,
therefore hindering the proposed drainage flow. Such an occurence
is not unusual, in new homes and the responsibility for correction
is normally that of the homeowner.

Dear Lou:
As we have discussed before the roofs at the plants in the
Town of Wappingerare leaking. We have done some work to patch
and keep the problems to a minimum but the Town might now in light
of the patrols wish to install new roofs in that the leaks seem to
reoccur. The vandalism does seem to have lessened with the con-
tinuance of the patrols.
Please advise as to whether we should continue a "patch" type

costs to install new roofs if Rudy's office would specify the best
type roof under the circumstances.

Mr. Johnson recommended that Camo be instructed to continue patching
the leaking roofs at Sewer and Water plants in the Town where money
is available and direct Mr. Lapar to advise Camo the type of materials
to be used so they can give us cost estimates for a permanent job.
Mr. Incoronato suggested that the Town use CETA funds for these
repair jobs. He then asked about the bid for the operation & main-
tenance of the water and sewer plants.
Mr. Diehl informed him that the Town had an application
filed for CETA people and they intended to use these

Re: Longhantano Property -(Tonto Bldrs) Russet Lane -Town of Wappinger.
Dear Lou:
I believe you are aware that sometime ago the Town contracted
Dave Alexander Inc. to locate a suspected leak in the force main
from the pump station at the end of Russet Lane. They were not able
to find a break and the problem of water on Mr. Longhantano's pro-
perty seemed to subside.
Mr. Longhantano has now informed us that he feels the problem still
exists. We have dyed the wet well and to date have not found any
evidence of the dye on the Longhantano property but dye was reportedly
observed when the problem was investigated orginally and Alexander was
contracted.
Please advise as to any further action you wish us to take in
this matter. We feel that the only way to find the break, if one
exists, is to dig from the pump station yp the middle of the road
to beyond the subject property at great expense to the Town.
We await your direction.

sent to the owner of Scenic Garden Apts.

In answer to Mr. Hawksley letter to the Town Board on changing
street lights to conserve energy, a letter was received from Central
Hudson following a requested meeting with the Conservation Advisory
The following letter was received:
Mr. Louis D. Diehl
Supervisor, Town of Wappinger
Mill St.,
Wappingers Falls, New York 12590
January 30, 1978
Re: Conservation Advisory Council - Wappingers Falls
Dear Mr. Diehl:
On January 26, 1978, we met with your Council regarding street
lighting and discussed the following points:
(1) Low pressure sodium lamps are not recommended by Central
Hudson for local streets or highway lighting due to their poor color
rendition. Therefore, they will not be offered as a light source.
(2) High pressure sodium has acceptable color rendition and
offers a higher lumen per watt ratio than mercury and incandescent,
therefore will be offered to municipalities as soon as an appropriate
program is available. We expect this to occur in a few months.
As soon as we have the information and materials to properly
present a new street lighting program to you we will arrange for
a meeting.
Thank you for your interest in energy conservation, in the
meantime, if you have other questions please let me know.
Very truly yours,
s/Joseph B. Schaetzl
