ADJOURNMENT g77,4, The Regular Monthly Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger was held on September 9, 1974, at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New York. Supervisor Diehl called the meeting to order at 8:18 P.M. Present: Louis Diehl, Supervisor Louis Clausen, Councilman Leif Jensen, Councilman Stephen Saland, Councilman Frank: Versace, Councilman Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk Others Present: William Horton, Superintendent of Highways Allan Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town Rudolph Lapar, Engineer to the Town The minutes of the August 12, 1974 Regular Monthly Meeting, having been previously sent to the Town Board members, were now placed before them for their approval. MR. CLAUSEN moved the minutes of the August 12, 1974 Regular Monthly Meeting, as submitted by the Town Clerk be and they are hereby approved. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried Reports for the month of August were received from the Supervisor, Building Inspector and Town Justices. MR. CLAUSEN moved the monthly reports for August from the Supervisor, Town Justices and Building Inppector be accepted and placed on file. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Bills received for payment were as General Fund $23,959.48 Highway Fund 31,544.09 Capt.

Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried Supervisor Diehl recognized and introduced Joseph Poillucci, Town of Wappinger County Representative and asked if he wished to say anything to either the Town Board or the residents present. Mr. Poillucci indicated that he was present simply because he was interested in visiting part of the Town that he represents and see it in action. He also stated he was interested in two of the matters to come before that Board tonight, the 120 day moratorium and Green Fly Swamp. Mr. Diehl informed those residents pr'esent that if they had any questions for Mr. Poillucci they could speak to him in private in the adjoining Town Clerk's Office. Continuing with the Agenda, the next order of business was the receipt of Harry C. Gutmann's resignation by the Town Clerk from the Water and Sewer Departments. MR. SALAND moved Mr. Gutmann's resignation be accepted. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried The following letters were received and read: August 9, 1974 Mrs. Elaine Snowden, Town Clerk Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York re: KORD 11 Property of Jewish Community Center of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Inc. St. Nicholas. Road, Town of Wappinger Dear Elaine: Please accept this letter as a formal request on behalf of KORD CO., for a meeting with the Town Board to discuss a P.U.D. applica- tion for the above captioned property. This request is made under the Revised P.U.D. procedure, which requires the applicant to meet with the Town Board prior to making a formal application for P.U.D. zoning. The original offer of land to the Town of Wappinger for a Town Hall or general purposes still remains. Very truly yours, s/ Richard G. Barger, P.E. July 9, 1974 Town Board, Town of Wqppinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Angel Brook Development Site 337.4 acres, Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York Gentlemen: The writer would greatly appreciate a meeting with the Town Board in order that we might discuss the development of the above site. I am the attorney to Mr. Gerald Mallow, of 39 Front Street, Bmoklyn, New York. On April 10, 1974 I wrote to Supervisor Louis D. Diehl concerning this matter, and while a meeting was scheduled under the PUD ordinance, it was later cancelled. Your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, Aldrich and MacDonald s/ Russell E. Aldrich August 5, 1974 Town Board Town of Wappinger 0116, Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. 011100 Re: David Levine Spook Hill Road-P.U.D. Gentlemen: The writer would greatly appreciate a meeting with the Town Board in order to discuss the above matter. Very truly yours, ALDRICH and MACDONALD s/ Russell E. Aldrich 2( 80 MR. CLAUSEN moved that an executive meeting be scheduled for September 24, 1974 at 7:30 P.M. with Russell Aldrich to discuss PUD proposals for Angelbrook Estates and Mr. Levine; and 9:00 P.M. on the same date to discuss a PUD proposal on the Jewish Community Center with Mr. Richard Barger. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Motion Unanimously Carried A letter was received from Herman Osten with regard to some property damage he incurred when sewer lines were being installed in front of his property. The matter was deferred temporarily in order to discuss the matter with the Engineer to the Town. (Likewise, item 5d was temporarily deferred for the same reason). A letter was received from Karol Sekely, in which he endeavored to bring to the Board's attention the problems he was experiencing with excessive noise from small private aircraft. He indicated he had reported this problem of "touch and go" (practice landings) to the FAA and received a "run -a -round" answer. He was now seeking intervention by the Town to alleviate the constant droning of these small aircraft, and ascertain by what laws they are governed. Mr. Diehl stated he would entertain a motion to have the necessary agencies check into it and be aware of it. The Chair recognized Charles Cortellino, who commented that he had been very conscious of what Mr. Sekely was complaining about, because a month or so ago on a Sunday he had made a call to the airport him- self, because one small plane came around every six minutes -between 3:15 P.M. and 6:20 P.M. - to practice landings. It was his belief that there is no landing fee at Dutchess Airport, whereas larger airports do charge, and this airport was extended to build it up as a commercial airport not as aprivate plane airport. He doesn't mind the normal traffic either, but objects to the practicing. 281 fi MR. JENSEN moved that Airport Committtee of and the FAA regarding communications to the the Town Board send a letter to both the the Dutchess County Board of Representatives this matter, and further, a copy of these Town of Wappinger County Representatives. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried The following letters were received: Lydia Drive Wappingers, N.Y. August 30, 1974 Town Board Town Hall Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Gentlemen: I would like to call your attention to the study of the Green Fly Swamp done by the Natural Resource Department of Dutchess Community College. Professor Barnett and his students put in a year on this report. As a result of the report, the Dutchess County Environ- mental Management Council (EMC) recommended that the Green Fly Swamp be preserved as a wetland. Although the purpose of the study was to evaluate the swamp as a possible landfill site as suggested by the Trautman report, the areas studied were the same areas Mr. Diehl has suggested that the Cary Arboretum study. The Barnett study includes wildlife, vegetation, soil information, water testing results and a history of the swamp. You may recall that the Conservation Commission tried to schedule a meeting when Mr. Barnett and his students would present the results to the Board. Our request was denied, but the Board said it would review the written report. If for any reason any member failed to read the report, I will gladly get you a copy. I feel that the study requested by Mr. Diehl is repetitious. The Cary Arboretum would be in an excellent position to use the Barnett study and do a continuation study dealing with the feasibility and the actual planning of a park facility on the site. At this time, I'd like to make you aware of the following: A. The swamp is rapidly being filled in with dirt and building materials. Photos can be provided. B. An organization exists called the Nature Conservancy. This is a non-profit private concern interested in preserving valuable wetlands. If contacted officially, representatives will investigate the wetland and assist with -purchase. The group is well -versed in legal methods to insure that a town which desires to purchase a wetland will pay for the acreage at the swampland rate rather than at a prime commercial rate. The group many times purchases the wetland itself and then re -sells it to the town at intervals. C. I fell that the Board should acknowledge the Barnett II sumo 11111 mi luuuuuini1111iii u 1 study and express its appreciation to the students who worked so hard. D. Whatever becomes of the Green Fly Swamp must be jointly decided by the Towns of Fishkill and Wappingers. Respectfully yours, s/ Nancy, Moreau, Conservation Adv. Council Town Board Members Town Hall Mill Street Wappingers, NY Gentlemen: Thank you for the prompt attention that you gave my letter of August 30. We have no objbetion to a continuation study done by the Cary Arboretum. We::were concerned that the town would be paying for a repetitious study. We are certain that the Cary summary will put the town in an excellent position to determine the future of the swamp. This commission has learned the value of wetlands and we are eager to protect such areas. 'Enclosed are the photos of the building materials being dumped into the swamp. The block and concrete sections are not crushed, but simply pushed into the swamp and covered with dirt. (Photo #l&2) Our commission would like to know what the Cary Arboretum considers the effect of such dumping will be. Our information indicates that when these materials, crushed or not, are in contact with water, they leach a highly alkaline effuent into the swamp and neutralize the natural acidity of the water. Tills pollution extends beyond the property owned by Montfort. WE RECOMMEND THAT NO BUILDING MATERIALS BE ALLOWED TO BE DUMPED INTO THE SWAMP. We don't want another landfill site or polluted waterway here. The Conservation Advisory Commission would like to go on record as supporting the 120 day building moritorium. We are in the process of preparing the open space index for the town. We are using all currently available material. When complete, we will be able to evaluate any future development in the open space areas. We are eager to assist the Board with any matters concerning conservation. Please feel free to call on us whenever necessary. Respectfully yours, s/ Nancy Moreau, Conservation Advisory Council Mr. Diehl commented that the Board had met briefly with Professor Barnett just prior to this meeting, and as of tonight he endorses continued or further action on the Green Fly Swamp. Mr. Jensen 283 added that this was the first time the Town Board had received the complete report although it had otherwise been indicated and he further agreed with Mr. Diehl in that the Professor heartily agreed the Town should look into all the avenues. The Chair recognized several people from the floor with reference to the Green Fly Swamp topic. The following report was received: August 26, 1974 Supervisor and Town Board Town of Wappingers Town Hall Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York Gentlemen: Recently, this writer made an inspection of the treatment plants serving the Town of Wappinger. As a result of these inspections, the following comments are offered: 1) Rochingham Farms S.D. a. Infiltration is still a severe problem at this location. Increased efforts must be made to bring this problem under control. b. The sand filters are in need of a general cleaning. c. The comrninutor was inoperative. d. Repairs must be made to the influent pumps. e. Sewage was baking up into the drywell of the pump building. This should be plugged. f. The diffusers should be checked as they do not appear to be adequate. g. There is evidence that the sand filters are being bypassed. The Town should plug this bypass andprovide whatever manpower is needed to keep the sand filters operational. The reduction in infiltration would eliminate the need for bypassing the sandfilters. h. The chlorinator should be repaired. i. An approved backflow preventor should be provided in the dry well of the pump building. 2) Fleetwood Manor S.D. a. A new influent structure must be constructed. This structure should contain a flow meter and comminutor. b. The spalling concrete must be replaced. 284 c. The grates on the aeration tank must be replaced. d.Slide gates must be provided. e. Commencing next month, samples of the lagoon effluent should begin for BOD, Suspended Solids, and Settleable Solids in addition to what is presently being collected. These should be run with the same frequency as the rest of the samples. f. The overhead wiring should be replaced. g. The sludge pumps should be provided as soon as possible. An inspection was made of Royal Ridge (Midpoint Park) and although this is not yet a Town facility, our comments were requested. a. An effluent flow meter should be provided. b. The sand filters need to be rehabilitated. c. An approved backflow preventer should be provided. A response would be appreciated as soon as possible concerning our comments about Rockingham and Oakwood Knolls. Very truly yours, s/ Joseph F. Marcogliese, P.E. Sr. Sanitary Engineer MR. JENSEN moved the letter from the New York State Department Environmental Conservation be received and placed on file. Mr. Jensen commented that it was becoming increasingly obvious that the Town is having problems with our sewer plants and operation and maintenance of said plants. He indicated that he had advised the Board at various times in executive sessions, the operation and maintenance, to say the least, needs a complete overhaul. For nine months this year and all of last year Camo Pollution was retained as an advisory company to advise the Superintendent of Water and Sewer how to operate. It seems that every month that goes by, especially this year, that we're continually falling further and further be- hind in the operation and maintenance of these plants. Let's let the facts hang where they are and look at the complete operation and maintenance, if we're not getting our dollars worth, let's do something about it. The people that are served by these districts are the ones paying the bill, and as a Board of Trustees of these districts, we owe it to those residents to see to it that they get the best deal for their money. The following letter was received: September 9, 1974 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. RE: Reports of failure to meet bacteriological parameters - Rockingham Sewer District, Oakwood Sewer District, Fleetwood Sewer District Gentlemen: Supervisor Diehl recently contacted us in regard to a form letter received from the Dutchess County Health Department on the above. In that the reports received here indicated that all districts did not fail, we contacted Mr. Railing of the Dutchess County Health Department on Friday. He informed us that the permits call for not only a maximum total count but also a maxi- mum average count. This is one problem at these facilities. Al- though the counts for the month may be acceptable the averages are not at this time. We hope to deal with this by sampling more frequently. Following is more discussion of each individual dis- trict's inadequacies and the results of laboratory analysis at these districts: FLEETWOOD SEWER DISTRICT FINAL EFFLUENT BOD, SUS. SOL. VOL. SUS.

In that the secondary effluent has left something to be desired we have increased our chlorine residuals to 2.0. mg/1/ This does not seem to be achieving adequate disinfection so we just recently had the chlorine contact chamber pumped of all sludge deposits. We have also commenced sampling both the secondary effluent and the lagoon effluent for 2 8.6 laboratory analysis. We are also increasing the sodium hypochlo- rite solution feed to maintain a higher chlorine residual and hopefully better disinfection. We feel this plant will operate more efficiently now that the new return sludge pumps are installed. The float control should be delivered soon and the pumps will then be put into automatic operation. If the laboratory results indicate that the secondary effluent is of better quality than the lagoon effluent we hope to get authorization from the regulatory agencies to "bypass" the lagoon.

We feel that the unacceptable samples taken in June were from improper sampling technique. The high counts in August we feel can be attributed to pump failures causing ex- cessive carry over to the chlorine contact tank and therefor high chlorine demand. With the manpower shortage shortage pumping of this tank has fallen behind but we are sure it will be caught up soon. We will also be gradually increasing the chlorine residual at this facility.

We have had some -problems in the past with the sand filters being cut out of service, and the chlorinator mal- functioning. We feel these items have been resolved. But, until we can maintain a better secondary effluent we feel that the necessary manpower must be allotted to maintaining the sand filters. These filters must be kept in service in order that proper contact time be allotted to insure disinfection. In conclusion we are not satisfied with the overall operation of these facilities. We feel that a great deal of the problems are inherent with the equipment we are operating with. Downtime in these smaller plants with no back-up can be very detrimental to the entire process. The operator problems experienced in the past are being ironed out. It is difficult to operate with sick time, vacation 14. 2874, time, etc. We are hopeful that this will smooth out and adequate manpower will be available to maintain satisfactory treatment. Yours very truly, Camo Pollution Control, Inc. s/ George B. Cacchio Pres. Mr. Jensen asked that the following letter be read into the minutes. September 3, 1974 Mr. John Mailepors Superintendent, Water and Sewer Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, New York Dear John: As we recently and previously discussed, we feel that at least one man should be allotted to the routine operation and maintenance duties at the Rockingham Sewer District. Our rec- ommendation is that this individual be responsible for routine daily control testing and preventive maintenance at: 1. Rockingham Farms Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. Kent Road Smith & Loveless Pump Station 3. Kent Road Davco Pump Station We previously supplied each of these facilities with an outline of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual main- tenance. If these are not available to you, we will supply you with additional copies. We also recommend that you utilize one man at the Fleetwood Sewer District, Fleetwood Water District and Orchard Homes Water District on a daily basis. As you are aware these systems must be inspected and routine control testing and preventive mainten- ance performed on a daily basis. Again if the preventive mainten- nance outlines we prepared for these facilities are not available to you we can supply you with additional copies. This would leave an allotment for one man at Oakwood Sewer District and Oakwood Water District. This man could be used in other areas as the work load dictates. It is our recommendation that a basic schedule of responsi- bilities be initiated. This is of course, your responsibility. Our recommendations are being made through our past experience with other systems. The end result should be that that job be carried out in a satisfactory manner. We realize this is a prob- lem in the case of sickness, vacation and personal time absences. It is our feeling that with Mr. Glass, who is replacing Mr. Gut- man you have the minimum complement of employees but should in most cases be able to carry out the routine operations with you filling in during "emergency" type conditions. It is also our recommendation that a training program be initiated whereby all employees are trained in all aspects of operation and maintenance. You have "tuned over" some help since 28 our initial training program. Although our responsibilities of training were previously met, we would be more than willing to helpyou set up a training program for new personnel. It is im- portant that they be instructed in all aspects of the wastewater and water supply systems including related safety procedures. We will continue supplying you with a "Field Report" of the facilities as we make inspections at least on a monthly basis. It is hoped that these field reports will serve as a guide for you in delegating responsibility. As we also discussed recently we had been having problems in obtaining delivery schedules on the portable pump approved by the Board for the Oakwood Wastewater Treatment Plant. You recently purchased a Goulds pump that as we discussed may be utilized at this pump, we feel that it would be senseless to purchase a pump if thispump can be utilized. We have cancelled any orders for this pump. You should have this pump installed as soon as possible and remove the existing pump. It may be possible to fabricate one pump from the two defective pumps. Please keep us advised as to your progress in this matter. In closing we would highly recommend that a log be maintained at each facility on a daily basis. You as Superintendent should also maintain a log of daily assignments, absences, complaint and emergency calls and ordering information. Again these are our recommendations based on our experiences. The name of the game is "get the job done". We will assist you in this in any manner you feel feasible. Yours very truly, Camo Pollution Control, Inc. s/ George B. Cacchio, Pres. Mr. Saland said he would like to voice the same sentiments as Mr. Jensen previously had and added that in the 21 years he had been on the Board he didn't recall ever getting reports back in which the Town has had unacceptable ratings from the Dutchess County Department of Health. Everything cited tonight and things stated in the past indicate that we do have some problems, either main- tenance equipment, dollars or what the proper answer is. MR. SALAND moved that the Town Board authorize the Sewer Committee (Messrs. Jensen and Versace) to review the situation and report back to the Board any recommendations which they might have with regard to the operation and maintenance of the Town's Sewer System. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried. 289 As Mr. Lapar had returned to the floor, Mr. Diehl went back to Item 5c of the Agenda. He questioned Mr. Lapar as to the status of Mr. Osten's complaint. Mr. Lapar stated that the damage has been corrected. Mr. Osten has indicated that he has some pictures however that indicate otherwise. Mr. Lapar advised him to take the matter up with Mr. Lombardis(the contractor) insurance company. The Town is divorced from the claim. 160 MR. CLAUSEN moved that Mr. Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town look kime into the matter and advise Mr. Osten on behalf of the Town as to 1 the Town's position in relation to damages to Mr. Osten's property. Seconded by Mr. Saland. Motion Unanimously Carried There was discussion on the subject of Mr. Osten's claim of damages as to, whose responsibility it was,- the Towns or the Contractor's Insurance Company. Mr. Rappleyea indicated the Engineer to the Town had initially investigated the complaint. Mr. Lapar then gave further details of what steps he had taken. Item 5d was considered at this time. It was correspondence addres- sed to Mr. Lapar from Raymond J. Schellhas regarding his concern for Flood Insurance for the Town of Wappinger, - in particular, the Rockingham, Angelbrook Area. Mr. Lapar informed the Board that as far as his office was concerned they have done everything that can be done to the present, they are 160 well ahead of schedule. They haven't been approached by HUD, and have not been put under any order to remedy our flood control, but have done it without any prior probing from anyone. The Board acted at their last Board meeting by passing some resolutions in relation to the Flood Program which they are now incorporating with the zoning change, and he doesn't believe they can go any faster. MR. SALAND moved that Mr. Schellhas be infored of Mr. Lapar's statements regarding Folld Insurance. Seconded by Mr. Clausen Motion Unanimously Carried The following letter was received: August 19, 1974 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Re: Tall Trees Water System Gentlemen: Enclosed please find a copy of a letter to my office from Camo Pollution Control, Inc. dated August 2, 1974. Based on the information contained in this letter, it is our opinion that the conditions outlined in our letter of April 29, 1974 have been fulfilled and therefore Section #4 of the Tall Trees Subdivision has barely fulfilled its water use requirement. It is our recommendation that no further development be allowed to attach to this water system and the conservation measures adopted by Harry Raker, Inc. be strictly enforced. Very truly yours, s/ Rudolph E. Lapar, P.E. Mr. Lapar enlarged on his report. He indicated what he was trying to relay to the Board was that they can just about get in by the skin of their teeth, that is, Section 11 can be put on the line, but don't dare put anyone else on because this will be marginal at this point. This refers to the six lots in Section 11 Tall Trees (Roundtree Builders). MR. JENSEN moved to accept Mr. Lapar's recommendations, and release the holding of the Building Permits for the six lots in Tall Trees Section 11 (Roundtree Builders). Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried MR. SALAND moved that the following reports from the Dutchess County Department of Health and Camo Pollution Control Inc. be received and made a part of the record.

August 26, 1974 Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. Gentlemen: In response to your recent questions concerning the operation and maintenance of the above facility we would like to make the following comments: 1. The sand filters should be in service every day. Previously the regulatory agencies had approved the use of the sand filter b I pass during excessive flow periods, but they have recently indicated that they will be mandating the sealing of the bypass. The filters had been bypassed because the sludge deposits and weeds were to be removed, and we were experiencing problems in wasting sludge. Harry Gutman, Jr. had resigned and Harry Gutman, Sr. only carried out control testing, and Mr. Mailepors had indicated that he was operating short handed and could not assign personnel to work at this plant full time. Recently another man had been hired, and we have recommended to Mailepors that at least one man be assigned to duties in the Rockingham Sewer District on a full time, eight hour per day basis. The routine maintenance and control testing at the plant and two (2) pumping stations warrants full time allotment. This would not include major correc- tive maintenance and at times there would be need for additional 2 9 3 ,1 . manpower to maintain the sand filters. Presently two (2) of the four sand filters are in service. The plant is operating satisfactorily but not as efficiently as we would like. The diffusers are on order, and we feel this with proper daily routine maintenance and control testing will be a great factor in obtaining more efficient treatment. The #2 sewage pump is in the shop for repairs and should be back in service soon. We might recommend installation of hose adaptors in the suction & discharge piping to facilitate the con- nection of a portable diaphragm pump in emergencies and to better routinely maintain the wet well. The plant also requires some scraping and painting. We have enclosed a copy df a recent field report with items listed to be completed. The immediate action we would recommend would be that personnel be assigned free time to this district. Please do not hesitate to call upon us in regard to any further questions. Very truly yours, Camo Pollution Control, Inc. s/ George B. Cacchio The following request was received: August 22, 1974 MEMO TO: ALL TOWN BOARD MEMBERS ELAINE SNOWDEN, TOWN CLERK FROM: LOUIS D. DIEHL, SUPERVISOR RE: COMMUNICATION UNIT FOR MY CAR I request your permission to place a communication unit in my car through our current contract with the New York Communica- tions Company, Inc. at a cost of $50.00 per month. I believe this will be an asset to our system of communica- tions especially during hours when our base unit is not in operation; such as nights, Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays and etc. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Yours truly, s/ Louis D. Diehl Supervisor MR. JENSEN moved that the Board accept Mr. Diehl's recommendation for another radio unit, for his car, providing it fits within the guidelines of the units the Town presently is allowed - which is a 294 maximum of 20 units - or if the FCC would extend the permit. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried The Town Clerk informed the Board that she had been served on September 3, 1974 by the City of New York (Chelsea Pumping Station) for a Tax Review. yo 7a_ MR. CLAUSEN moved that Allan E. Rappleyea, Attorney be appointed to answer and defend this Tax Review on behalf of the Town of Wappinger. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Donald Reilly, Town of Wappinger Republican Committee Chairman forwarded a list of Republican Alternates for Election Inspectors. MR. SALAND moved that Gloria Morse, Theresa Greco, Marie Greco, and Terry Rifkin, be appointed as Alternate Republican Election Inspec- tors. Seconded by Mr. Jensen. Motion Unanimously Carried Supervisor Diehl recognized County Representative John Armstrong and asked if he had anything he wished to impart to the Board and attending residents. Mr. Armstrong had a question for the Board first, and that was, what was the outcome of the drainage problem in Wappingers Park Homes. Mr. Diehl indicated there would be a report on this later in the evening from Mr. Lapar. Mr. Armstrong then reported that the Board of Representatives had held a dis- cussion on the purchase of the Children's Aid Society (Bowdon Farm) on a bond issue of 1.3 million dollars, and would the County be jeopardizing state aid by passing such a bond issue. Another area connected with this purchase to be considered, is the fact that a portion of this property has been considered for the site of the sewer plant for the Tri -Municipal. It was Mr. Rappleyea's thought that the Engineers for the Tri -Municipal would appreciate meeting L 295,E with the County to go over the proposed acquisition, to see if the portion that Tri -Municipal is interested in could not be excluded from the purchase the County might wish to make. Under Committee Reports, Mr. Jensen made reference to informal bids that had been received for janitorial cleaning services for the Town Offices. These were from Rhodes Cleaning Service, and Astroclean. It seemed to Mr. Jensen that Rhodes Cleaning Service would be the company that would give the Town the best job. MR. JENSEN moved that Rhodes Cleaning Service be awarded the con- tract for cleaning services to the Town Offices, subject to the Attorney to the Town reviewing said contract, and forwarding his recommendation to the Board by the end of the month. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Roll Call Vote: Councilman Clausen Aye Councilman Jensen Aye Councilman Saland Aye Councilman Versace Aye Supervisor Diehl Nay Mr. Clausen asked Mr. Diehl for an explanation of his nay vote, upon which Mr. Diehl answered that he was not certain that the dissatisfaction was there and that any great improvement will be realized. Mr. Clausen made the comment that discussion on these matters should be held before the meeting so a decision could be made as a body before voting. He felt Mr. Diehl's no vote was a disservice to the Board. tic .7 5_;o Mrs. Snowden made note of the fact that the next regular monthly Town Board meeting date would fall on October 14th which is the day commemorating Columbus Day. Mr. Diehl noted that, traditionally the Town Board respected holidays when falling on Board meeting nights by changing the date. It was also noted that the November Board meeting would normally fall on Veterans Day - both dates might be taken into consideration at this time.. 296 - MR. JENSEN moved that the Regular Monthly Meeting for October, which would normally have been October 14th, be changed to October 15th, 1974 at 8:00 P.M. and the Regular Monthly Meeting for November which would normally have been November llth, be changed to November 13th, 1974. Seconded by Mr. Clausen. Motion Unanimously Carried Mr. Jensen, as a member of the Buildings and House Committee, commented there had been a number of sites in the area discussed and looked at for new quarters for Justice Court. He would like to make a report and recommendations to the Board, with Mr. Clausen, at an executive session, and then possibly make a recommendation at a Special Meeting in the next few weeks. He also had reviewed some sites for a new Town Hall, which can also be presented at that time. He and Mr. Clausen both agreed that it was time to get moving on these matters. Mr. Saland indicated he had received information from Mr. Diehl regarding the Landfill sites and would get together with him and Mr. Versace at an early date. A Public Hearing having been held on a Local Law Amending Local Law #1 of 1967 for Citizens over 65 Tax Exemptions - on September 12, 1974.

CLAUSEN moved the adoption of Local Law #4 of 1974 Amending Local Law #1 of 1967 - the text of which herein follows: Seconded by Mr. Saland. Roll Call Vote: Councilman Clausen Ave Councilman Jensen Ave Councilman Saland Ave Councilman Versace Ave Supervisor Diehl Aye k.4 297 A Local Law Amending Local Law No. 1 of 1967. Be it Enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New York, as follows: Section 1. Section 2 of Local Law #1 of 1967 is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 2. Real Property owned by one or more persons, each of whom is sixty-five (65) years of age or over, or real property owned by husband and wife, one of whom is sixty-five (65) years of age or over, shall be exempt from town taxes to the extent of fifty (50%) percentum of the assessed valuation thereof, subject to the following conditions: (a) The owner or all of the owners of such real property must file an application annually in_ the assessors' office at least ninety (90) days before the date for filing the final assess- ment roll or such other time or date as may be hereafter fixed by law. (b) The income of the owner or the combined income of the owners of the property shall not and may not exceed the sum of Six Thousand Five Hundred ($6,500.00) Dollars for the income tax year immediately preceeding the date of making the application for exemption. The income tax year shall mean the twelve months period for which the owner or owners file a federal personal income tax return, or if no such return is filed, the calendar year. Where title is vested in either the husband or the wife, their combined income may not exceed such income. Such income shall include social security and retirement benefits, interest, dividends, net rental income, salary or earnings and net income from self-employment, but shall not include gifts or inheritances. (c) The title to such real property shall have been vested in the owner or all of such real property for at least sixty (60) consecutive months prior to the date of making application for exemption. (d) The real property shall be used exclusively for residential purposes. (e) The real property shall be the legal residence of and shall be occupied in whole or in part by the owner or by all of the owners of the same. (f) Applications for such exemption shall be made by the owner, or all of the owners, of the property, upon forms prescribed by the State Board to be furnished by the assessing authority, and applicants shall furnish such information and shall execute the application in the manner prescribed in such forms. Section 2. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon adoption. The matter of the Resolution calling for a 120 day Moratorium, was placed before the Board, as a Public Hearing had been duly held on said Resolution. Mr. Rappleyea recommended the matter be tabled due to the fact that a recommendation had not been received from the Dutchess County Department of Planning. The following letter, copy of which was received by each of the Board members this evening, was read: September 9, 1974 Frank Versace, Councilman Town of Wappinger Wappingers Falls, New York Dear Frank: We have been informed that the board will vote on the building moratorium at tonight's meeting. I would like to request that the board postpone this vote for at least an extra week or two so that further study can be given to problems that this mora- torium can create. Part of the reasoning follows: It was brought home to me recently that next year I will be paying between $750.00 and $1500.00 per year for the new sewer system being installed whether I do or do not use it. I am told that I own three units; and the price will be $250.00 mini- mum per unit. The $250.00 amounts to a minimum of $5.00 per week without using the sewer. What my cost will be with using the sewer I don't know. If each homeowner is so assessed chaos will be created in the township. How many other similar items there are I do not know. An expanding economy is necessary in our town so that the people may have sufficient left to put food on the table. This cannot happen with a building moratorium in effect. One other reason I believe that a postponement in the decision should be made is because of the general economic situation, of which the board may not be in full cognizance because of their employment in major corporations or government. agencies:. . I am sure there are many other good reasons that the decision be postponed and further study be given the matter. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly yours, s/ Herman I. Osten MR. VERSACE moved that a Special Meeting be scheduled for September 19, 1974 at 7:00 P.M. for the purpose of acting on the Resolution calling for a 120 moratorium, and any other business that may property come before the Board.

Seconded by: Mr. Jensen Roll Call Vote: Councilman Clausen Aye Councilman Jensen Aye Councilman Saland Aye Councilman Versace Aye Supervisor Diehl Aye A Resolution was introduced by SUPERVISOR DIEHL regarding entering into an agreement with Cary Arboretum to undertake a Study of the "Green Fly Swamp". ir Mr. Versace made the following statement: "Mr. Diehl's reasons for this study and his letter to the Board dated September 5th is to give the best direction to the Town for the use of the Green Fly Swamp. Even though Dr. Barnett and his students may not have been professional people, they did, under their study, give a fine indication of different species of bird and animal life that make Green -JFly Swamp their home. They also gave a report on the quality of water and also the type of trees that exist in this area. At the end of each of these different studies, Dr. Barnett, together with the students, gave their conclusions and recommenda- tions. As for the use of this land, our own Town Development Plan adopted in February of 1974 by the Town Planning Board, and accepted by this Town Board makes this area one of many wetland areas in the Town to be used for the absorbtion of excess water during floods and the release in water for streams during periods of low water flow. Also to provide food and protect wildlife in our Town. This Town Development Plan was done by professional people who specialize in planning and are under contract to the Town. At'. this time I cannot support an expenditure of $1,000 for a study I feel has already been done. The use of this land is already in our Town Plan, recommended to us by Clark Associates". Mr. Saland commented that several of the Board had met with Dr. Barnett less than three hours ago who recommended, in no uncertain terms that the Town Board go through with Mr. Diehl's recommended study, and Dr. Barnett further advised the Board that this parti- cular study which he made, with the assistance of his students, contains numerous errors of substance, and he wholeheartedly endorsed and recommended to the Board the $1,800 study. The following Resolution was offered by SUPERVISOR DIEHL, who moved its adoption: Whereas, the Town of Wappinger Conservation Advisory Committee has conducted studies of the "Green Fly Swamp" in cooperation with Professor Richard Barnett of the Dutchess Community College, and, WHEREAS, such studies have been preliminary in nature and point out the urgent need for further and continuing observations and studies of the "Green Fly Swamp" to assist the Town of Wappinger in relation to proper planning and land use of such area, and WHEREAS, the Cary Arboretum of the New York Botanical Gardens has agreed to conduct an in-depth study of the "Green Fly Swamp", in order to review the natural associations and the effects upon the "Green Fly Swamp". NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Supervisor of the Town of Wappinger is hereby authorized and directed to enter into a written agreement with the Cary Arboretum in accordance with the attached letter, dated August 15, 1974, whereby a field study will 3 0 3 be made, and a written report provided to the Town of Wappinger in return for the payment of the sum of $1,800.00 by the Town of Wappinger to said Cary Arboretum.

The following letter was received: Town Board Town of Wappinger Mill Street Wappingers Falls, N.Y. September 9, 1974 806:. Re: Rockingham Farms Sewer District Cleaning, Inspection and Sealing of Infiltration in Gravity Sewer Lines Gentlemen: During the month of August, Video Pipe Grouting, Inc. completed their project for the Rockingham Farms Sewer District. One major source of infiltration which they were unable to fix was located sixteen (16) feet downstream or south of Man- hole #13, as indicated on our map of the site plan for Contract 11. We recommend that the Town Board authorize replacement of this section of pipe since the contractor, Video Pipe Grouting, Inc., indicated that it was too big for him to seal with his gel and that section would have to be replaced. The rest of the line from the Sewage Treatment Plant up to DeerRun was in good condition. It is , however, our recommendation that this entire stretch of line either have all the manholes raised or the manhole covers be replaced with seal tight manhole covers. This means that in time of flood no excess water will go in through the manhole covers as is now possible. It also prevents vandalism and the removal of said covers by children. The Tri -Municipal Sewer Improvement is now in the process of going an infiltration inflow study and we should find out if much of the infiltration might possibly be coming from the Rockingham Farms Subdivision itself. This study will certainly be advantageous to the Rockingham Farms Sewer District. Very truly yours, s/ Rudd.lph Lapar MR. DIEHL moved that R. E. Lapar be authorized to put out for bid improvements for a break in the sewer line going to Vorndran's Property and to put seal pipe covers on the manhole covers. Seconded by Mr. Jensen.
