IX. New Business
Councilman Beale New Business
Councilman Beale asked for an update on the street light issue at Steinhaus Lane. Al
Roberts, Town Attorney, explained that this has been addressed many times and the Town does
not have the money. It will have to be built into next year's budget or the Town will have to
borrow the money. Councilman Beale noted that he has not received any memo regarding that.
Supervisor Colsey commented that he is compiling information to provide to Councilman Beale.
Discussion followed.
Councilman Bettina New Business
Councilman Bettina commended Ralph Holt, Chairman of the Recreation Commission,
on his job putting together the recent Memorial Day services. He also commended Councilman
Beale on the idea to initiate a memorial for the Palmateer family. He thinks this is a great idea.
However, he would like the memorial to represent everyone in the Town of Wappinger. He went
on to compare the memorial at Schlathaus Park to memorials in Fishkill. He then recommended
that a committee be put together. He also asked if it was legal for the Town to take in money for
such a memorial. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, replied that it was legal. Councilman Bettina
again asked that a committee be initiated. Supervisor Colsey commented that Councilman
Bettina should take the lead on developing this committee. Councilman Beale clarified that the
memorial that he was planning was intended to be in honor of Sgt. Mark C. Palmateer, the first
Wappinger resident killed in Afghanistan. He has been in contact with the family for a number
of months regarding this, and the family supports this wholeheartedly. Councilman Bettina
replied that that is great and well needed, but also feels that the Town needs to go the extra step
and involve all service people. He again asked that Mr. Holt put together a committee for all the
people of Wappinger.
Councilman Paoloni New Business
Councilman Paoloni asked for an update on the Montfort Road issue. Supervisor Colsey
noted that the Zoning Administrator had told him that she sent a letter on this topic to
Councilman Paoloni. Councilman Paoloni replied that he had not received any such letter.
