Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Diehl indicated the next order of business would be a resolution
to purchase the Hill Top Water Works Corp.
Mr. Rappleyea reported that, as the Board is aware, that at a
previous Town Board meeting the Board had authorized him to pursue the
condemnation for the three water systems in the Central Wappinger
23-o
Water Improvement Area, and the Board being aware of the negotiations
that preceeded that resolution, as a result of further negotiations
with the Hill Top Water Works Corp. on behalf of the Town, he has,
subject to the acceptance by the Town, have for the Board's considera-
tion, an agreement to purchase the Hill Top Water Works Corp. System,
including the system or the "Cogar Line", as it's known, which the
Town already has an option to purchase for one dollar, for a total
consideration of $409,000.00. As the Board is aware, the proposal
that we had, we had made to him (Schuele) in condemnation, that is
to the Hill Top Water Works Corp., was for a consideration of
$395,000.00 which, of course, was made for the purposes of condemna-
tion and the considerations that go with condemnation. He has con-
ferred with Mr. Lapar as to the estimates, and he agrees that the
price is a fair price. He, therefore, would like to recommend to
the Town that the Supervisor be authorized to execute the agreement.
Of Course, this agreement will be subject to the perusal of the
Public Service Commission who will conduct a hearing on the subject
as to whether or not the Town will be permitted to purchase the
assets of Hill Top Water Works Corp.
Mr. Lapar concurred with Mr. Rappleyea that this was a legitimate
price, and he wduld recommend to the Board that they accept it.
MR. SALAND moved, based on the recommendation of the Attorney, and
the concurrance of the Engineer, that the Supervisor be authorized
to enter the agreement presented tonight by the Attorney to the Town,
for the purchase of the Hill Top Water Works Corp.
Seconded by Mr. Clausen.
