ADJOURNMENT 3 7 9 The Regular Monthly Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on December 8, 1975 at 8:00 P.M. at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New York. Supervisor Diehl opened the meeting at 8:14 P.M. Present: Louis Diehl, Supervisor Louis Clausen, Councilman Leif Jensen, Councilman Stephen Saland, Councilman Frank Versace, Councilman Elaine Snowden, Town Clerk Others Present: Allan Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town Rudolph Lapar, Engineer to the Town The Reports for the month of November were received from the Supervisor, Town Justices, Building Inspector and Zoning Adminis- trator. MR. CLAUSEN moved that the reports for the month of November from the Supervisor, Town Justices, Building Inspector and Zoning Admin- istrator be accepted and placed on file. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Motion UnanimouaLy Carried The Town Clerk informed the Board that she had been served on November 14, 1975 with an Article 78 in the Matter of M&G Sanitation, Inc. and Michael Schwall against the Zoning Board of Appeals and Town Board members. MR. SALAND moved that Allan E. Rappleyea, Attorney, be appointed to answer and defend this Mandamus proceeding (Article 78) on behalf of the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried Requests were received from Rebena Construction Company, Inc. and Hall & Co., Inc. requesting that the Town accept maintenance bonds sg0 in lieu of the 5% retainer thtt the Town would ordinarily hold for a one year period after completion of their perspective pro- jects. (Rebena offered Maintenance Bonds for Wappinger Sewer Improvement #1 Contract 2 and Cental Wappinger Water Improvement Contract 3; and Hall offered a Maintenance Bond for Wappinger Sewer Improvement #1 - Oakwood Knolls sewage Treatment Plant Contract 1A). The following recommendation was received: December 3, 1975 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Gentlemen: In view of the current economic situation we find ourselves in, we recommend that the Contractors for the Wappinger Sewer Improve- ment #1 and the Central Wappinger Water Improvement be allowed to, place maintenance bonds in lieu of their 5% retainages. This will not relieve them of their responsibility to maintain their work for a period of one year following final acceptance, and therefore should propose no problems to the Town. Thank you, Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E. Mr. Saland recommended that the Board abide by or ask that the contract be adhered to and Town retain the cash instead of having to worry about a surety company to deal with. Mr. Rappleyea indicated he would prefer the Town held the cash. MR. SALAND moved that the Town retain the 5% as cash, instead of permitting the respective contractors to provide the Town with maintenance bonds in an equivalent amount, effectively adhering to the contracts, and effectively making this matter still within the realm, and subject to, the original contract, assuming that the contract so provides that the Town can retain the 5%. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried 381 A report was received from Camo Pollution Control Inc. requesting authorization to purchase two test kits for the Fleetwood Water Supply System. They are a Hach Hydrogen Sulphide Kit Model H5-6 which costs approximately $50.00 and a Hach chlorine pH kit Model CN -63A with extra chlorine color disc costing approximately $60.00. MR. JENSEN moved to accept the recommendation of Camp Pollution Control, and grant them permission to order said test kits for Fleetwood Water District. Seconded by Mr. Versace. Motion Unanimously Carried The second report from Camo Pollution Control was in regard to the Rockingham Sewer District - Sewage Pumps. They have been experi- encing frequent clogging of the pumps, decreasing the capacity or clogging the pumps completely. They attribute the major probtem to the fact the pumps are in need of a complete overhaul. They are using one of their own pumps temporarily, awaiting direction from the Board, having previously requested these repairs and a third pump. Mr. Jensen, with reference to these pumps, indicated that while at an executive meeting last Friday, it had been indicated to the Engineer to the District to review the question of the pumps, and while we're working at Rockingham with the present contractor, possibly a cost figure can be ascertained for repairing or up- grading those pumps. He doesn't believe any action by the Board is necessary at this time. It was reaffirmed, however, that the Engineer investigate the pumps at Rockingham. The third report from Camo was regarding the Town of Wappinger water supply systems and the daily control testing. They indicated it would be necessary to purchase a test kit for chlorine/ph with test kit disc for each system (Schoonmaker, Hilltop , Oakwood and Fleetwood) cost approximately $60.00 each. For the Hilltop water supply, which has proven to be corrosive at times, a kit to aid in better maintenance of alkalinity should be provided, cost approximately $70.00. They also brought to the Board's attention the need for repairs to the roof at the Hilltop Plant again. MR. CLAUSEN moved that the test kits, recommended by Camo, be purchased for the Schoonmaker, Hilltop, Oakwood and Fleetwood plants. Seconded by Mr. Versace. The following report was received: Motion Unanimously Carried November 27, 1975 Town of Wappinger Town Board Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York RE: Annual Publid Water Supply Inspection Tall Trees Water Plant District Town of Wappinger Gentlemen: In regard to the above, we wish to offer the following comments: 1. The monthly operation report for the month of August was sent to the Dutchess County Department of Health and a copy is on file in our office. We will, nonetheless, forward an additional copy to the Dutchess County Department of Health. 2. The Town Board had decided to contract samples to our laboratory for turbidity and color. 3. A hydrant flushing program is being instituted and all hydrants are being flushed at least three (3) times per year. The distribution valves which are accessible are being routinely exercised. Some valves in the system have not yet been located. We are awaiting plans for the piping of all water supply systems within the Town. 4. The samples required by the state sanitary code are being carried out in regard to bacteriological, physical and chemical content. 5. There is a raw tap on the one existing well. The well is chlorinated directly and therefore a raw S'ample may not be truly representative. 6. An adequate light will be installed in the pump house. 7. The storage tank was cleaned approximately 21/2 years ago. 883 It was not scraped or painted, but miscellaneous debris etc. was removed. Presently there is evidence of debris and silt deposits in the storage tank. We feel that the Town Engineer should recom- mend the method by which the tank should be cleaned to meet the requirements of the Dutchess County Health Department. We have collected a sample of the distribution water and will by analyz- ing it for total dissolved solids which exceeded the limits of part 72 on last sampling. We will then advise the Town and Town Engineer as to the status of this sample and the effect on the system. Please do not hesitate to contact us in regard to any further questions. Very truly yours, Camo Pollution Control,, Inc. s/ George B. Cacchio, Pres. MR. JENSEN moved that the Engineer to the Town be directed to review the cleaning of the storage tank at the Tall Trees Water Plant (Item 7 above) and report back to Camo and the Town Board. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Motion Unanimously Carried The following report was received: November 19, 1975 Town Board Town of Wappinger Town Hall - Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Wappinger Sewer Improvement, #1 - House Lateral Connections Gentlemen: We are enclosing the approval of our office and the Dutchess County Health Department of various areas of Wappinger Sewer Improvement #1 for tie in. I have also included another copy of my letter of September 23, 1975 since I have great fears as to a possible disastrous condition in the next one or two years if proper installation of house laterals is not made. My office cannot, and will not, assume responsibility for house connection infiltration, as indicated in our letter of September 23, 1975. To put the problem in better perspective, if one uses infiltration figures as collected by my office, and the present system continues, the Oakwood Knolls Plant, instead of accommodating approximately 700 homes, will be at full capaciy with approximately 300+ homes. Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E. MR. CLAUSEN moved to receive Mr. Lapar's letter and place it on file for future action. Seconded by Mr. Versace. Motion Unanimously Carried The second report received from Mr. Lapar advised the Board of additional lines accepted for sewer service. MR. CLAUSEN moved this letter be received and placed on file. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried A report was received from Mr. Lapar regarding Phase II of the Downstream Drainage Study and cost figures. MR. CLAUSEN moved the appropriation of the money for Phase II of the Downstream Drainage Study, as recommended by the Engineer. Motion Withdrawn (Motion was withdrawn after discussion as to where the money should be appropriated from). MR. CLAUSEN moved to receive Mr. Lapar's report and recommendation for proceeding with Phase II Downstream Drainage study and place it on file for future action. Seconded by Mr. Diehl. Motion Unanimously Carried A Memo was received from Mr. Lapar regarding an executive meeting held in Mr. Lapar's office November 24, 1975 which involved dis- cussion of installation of sewer and water house connections on private property. Mr. Diehl expanded slightly on the discussion, more particularly the proposals for licensing plumbers in the Town of Wappinger. There will be a resolution, pertaining to this topic for the Board to consider at a later time. A letter was received from the Planning Board, which indiacted they were having a specific problem with the Lloyd property - conflict between proposed and old ordinance with regard to gasoline filling 1 38. stations, and in view of this, they request the Town Board for advisement as to the progress being made toward the adoption of the new ordinance and urged the pursuit of adoption. Mr. Diehl stated that the Town Board had met last week, and formulated what changes and what they felt was the completed ordinance. Frederick Clark Associates were also present and are starting their revisions. It was hoped that sometime in January they would be able to set a public hearing on the changes. MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Annual Town Board end of year meeting be held December 29, 1975 at 4:00 P.M. at the Town Hall. Seconded by Mr. Versace. Motion Unanimously Carried An application was received from Robert Black for a Hawking and Peddling License. The application had been referred to the Dutchess County Sheriff Department and returned indicating no criminal record on file. MR. CLAUSEN moved to approve the application and grant Robert Black a license for Hawking and Peddling in the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mr. Jensen Motion Unanimously Carried A request was received from Mr. William Wu, Edgehill Drive, to become a tenant to the Rockingham Farms Sewer District because of extreme septic probjems. A letter was also received from the Dutchess County Department of Health indicating they had no objections to Mr. Wu becoming a tenant, since he was experiencing severe prob- lems. MR. DIEHL moved that, prior to granting any approval to Mr. Wu for a hookup to the Rockingham Farms Sewer District, the Town Poli= cy regarding tenant hook ups be forwarded to Mr. Railing, and further request of the Dutchess County Health Department a clarification of the question as to whether they would consider a hookup for Mr. Wu as an additional hookup to the number they will approve after com- g 9 T pletion of the corrections to the Rockingham Plant or, whether Mr. Wu's hookup would be included as one of those hookups to be granted. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried Ed Hawksley, Co -Chairman of the Town of Wappinger Conservation Advisary Council having requested to speak before the Board, was recognized by the Chair. He addressed the Board regarding New York State legislation passed, regarding the Wetlands Protection Act, and one provision would allow for each municipality in the State to adopt its own local laws or ordinances which would take in the provisions of this act. He asked that the Board review this act together with the Attorney with the thought of implementing it on the local level for Wappinger. (a copy of this legislation was offered to the Board for review). Mr. Rappleyea indicated he had given the law a cursory glance, and briefly summarized that if the Board did not initiate action within a given time, they abdicated their rights to the County, or pro- gressively to the State, and there would have to be taken into con- sideration the cost of administration if the Board chose to conside a local law or ordinance.. MR. JENSEN moved to receive the copy of the Wetlands Protection Act supplied by Mr. Hawksley, and place it on file, review it for action in the future. Seconded by Mr. Clausen Motion Unanimously Carried A memo was received from Supervisor Diehl regarding designating a Chairperson for the BiCentennial. His recommendation was that of Connie Smith, who had co-chaired the Town of Wappinger Centennial, and requested suggestions for the full committee, which should con- sist of twenty persons. 887 MR. VERSACE moved to accept Mr. Diehl's recommendation and designate (Mrs.) Connie Smith as Chairperson for the Town of Wappinger Bi - Centennial Committee. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried MR. JENSEN moved that a letter be sent to all of the participants of the Town of Wappinger Centennial Committee to see if they would like to be involved in the BiCentennial Committee. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Rappleyea reported to the Board regarding the Town's equaliza- tion rate, and the Town's objections to it, and the inaccuracies. The remedy to handle the situation, if the Town objects to the County's rate is by a complaint to the New York State Board of Equalization and Assessment, and they will conduct a hearing and consider any proof the Town might have. The question is, whether to proceed with that. He presented the Board with such a complaint if they w ished.to pursue it. He saw no harm in making the complaint. MR. JENSEN moved to authorize Supervisor Diehl to execute the com- plaint to the New York State Board of Equalization and Assessment, as written by Mr. Rappleyea. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Roll Call Vote: 4 Ayes Mr. Saland---Abstain Mr. Jensen briefly reported on Tri -Municipal, and indicated a resolution would be presented later that was requested by Audit and Control. Supervisor Diehl called a fifteen minute recess at 9:02 P.M. Supervisor Diehl called the meeting back to order at 9:21 P.M. All Board members again being present. Supervisor Diehl had received a letter from Leo Ritter Attorney for the Joint Landfill Project, as follows: November 12, 1975 Hon. Louis Diehl, Supervisor Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, NY Re: Capitalization of Expenses at Joint Landfill Gentlemen: At the meeting of the Board of Governors of the Joint Landfill held on November 6, 1975, a resolution was adopted by the Board of Governors, authorizing engineer Vincent Kelley of Milton Chazen Associates to prepare the necessary plans and specifications and place for bid the recycle system necessary to handle the leachate at the Joint Landfill site at the Dutchess County Airport. It is expected that the bids will be awarded at the next meeting of the Board of Governors of the Joint Landfill to be held on December 4, 1975. The cost of the capitalization necessary for the landfill is approximately $170,000 and there is presently a surplus available for the payment of this capitalization in the amount of $70,000. This leaves a balance of $100,000 to be paid by the municipalities. The Board of Governors adopted a resolution calling upon each of the municipalities to pay their proportionate share of the cap- italization in the amount of $100,000 which payment is due pursuant to a contractual agreement between the municipalities and the County of Dutchess. It was requested that I prepare proposed resolutions to be for- warded to each of the municipalities for their presentation to the legislative body and adoption, with payment of their proportionate share being made on or before December 15, 1975. This matter is of utmost urgency and for each of you I enclose an original and copy of proposed resolution to be adopted. If any of you or your respective municipal attorney have any questions either of myself or Vincent Kelley of Milton Chazen Asso- ciates or Charles O'Donnell of the Dutchess County Department of Health, may I please request that you or the attorneys call as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation in adopting the resolution and forwarding a copy of same with the check either to myself or to Mr. David Shron of D'Arcangelo and Company, Certified Public Accountants, Boice Road, Hyde Park, NY.
