Town Clerk Town of Wappinger A Special Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on October 1, 1975 at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New York. Notice of said meeting was mailed to each Board member on September 29, 1975, calling the meeting for 7:00 P.M. October 1, 1975, for the purpose of considering the appointment of a Comptroller to fill 322 the vacancy due to the resignation of Charles Rae, and any other business that may properly come before the Board.

Present: Louis Diehl, Supervisor Louis Clausen, Councilman Leif Jensen, Councilman Stephen Saland, Councilman Frank Versace, Councilman Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk Others Present: Allan E. Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town Supervisor Diehl made note of the fact that this meeting was called for the purpose of appointing a Comptroller to the Town of Wappinger. He noted that he had contacted George Supan (one of the applicants) and was left with the impression he was not particularly enthusiastic at the salary, as proposed. After reviewing the resumes again, it was his opinion that Matt Ryan, who had been with the Marine Midland Bank, appeared the most quali- fied for the position. The following Resolution was offered by SUPERVISOR DIEHL who moved its adoption: RESOLVED, that Matthew W. Ryan be and he hereby is appointed to fill the vacancy in the position of Comptroller for the Town of Wappinger which has occurred by reason of the resignation of Charles R. Rae, Sr., and it is further RESOLVED, that the said Matthew W. Ryan be and he hereby is appointed to fill such vacancy for the remainder of the term which shall expire on December 31, 1975. Seconded by: Mr. Saland Roll Call Vote: Councilman Clausen Nay Councilman Jensen Aye Councilman Saland, Aye Councilman Versace Nay Supervisor Diehl Aye Resolution Duly Adopted 823 In discussion of the resolution, Mr. Versace indicated that it was his belief that the Town, in seeking a Comptroller, was looking for someone who would set up a workable type of system for the Town, and, having been present at all of the interviews felt Mrs. Thelma Ryan would have been the tliggest asset, and would support her. Mr. Jensen believed either Mr..Matthew Ryan or Mr. Robert Basile were qualified. Mr. Clausen agreed with Mr. Versace on the qualifica- tions of Mrs. Thelma Ryan and, since there was no Board discussion prior to this meeting, everyone would vote their conscience. MR. JENSEN moved that the salary for Matthew W. Ryan be established at the annual rate of $16,000.00 and be pro -rated from the starting date of October 13, 1975. Seconded by: Mr. Diehl Roll Call Vote: Councilman Clausen Nay Councilman Jensen Aye Councilman Saland Aye Councilman Versace Nay Supervisor Diehl Aye Motion Duly Adopted Discussion followed with respect to temporary assistance for the Comptroller. It was Mr. Diehl's opinion that with Mr. Ryan coming in, he should have all the assistance possible, and since funds are available in the Comptroller's account, that Mrs. Laffin be tempor- arily transferred to his office to Work as a clerk and assistant to him during the early stages of his duties. Mr. Jensen commented "3 that during the interim after Mr. Rae resigned, Mrs. Laffin had been appointed acting or Deputy Comptroller, which now has ter- minated with the new appointment, but she should be permitted to help ,the new Comptroller. Salary -wise, Mrs. Laffin's salary should be debitted from whichever departments she works, the same as is done with those working for the sewer and water Departments. Mr. Clausen expressed concern that Mrs. Laffin be retained in some capacity in the Supervisor's Office, because he believes she is too valuable to lose. Mrs. Snowden, having received and filed the Tentative Budget from the Supervisor's Office October 1, 1975, at this time presented it to the Town Board, pursuant to Section 106 (3) of the Town Law. Mr. Clausen moved for a five minute recess. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried Recess called at 7:52 P.M. Supervisor Diehl called the meeting back tolorder at 8:22 P.M. All Board members again present. MR.

Seconded by Mr. Versace. Motion Unanimously Carried Supervisor Diehl called a recess at 8:23 P.M. pending the arrival of Mr. Lapar. Mr. Saland and Mr. Jensen excused themselves, indicating other commitments. Supervisor Diehl called the meeting back to order at 9:13 P.M. Present were Mr. Diehl, Mr. Clausen and Mr. Versace.
