RECREATION COMMISSION
OCTOBER 4, 1979
N?xt Heetinq--October 25, 1979
The regular meeting of the Recreation Commission was held on Oct. 4, 1979
at 'l'own Hall, Mill Street, Village of Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County,
New York.
Mr: Maurer opened the meeting at 8:30 P.M.
Present: Hugh J. Maurer, Chairman! Mary Schmalz, Ron Petro, Vernon Smith
and Councilwoman Janet Reilly
i~r. Maurer wished to discuss the Estimate of Revenues that had been
submitted by Mrs. Schmalz for the 1980 Budget. This was an estimate
of rr:onies that would be received from the Youth Board for 1980 and
Mes. Schmalz had estimated $34,900.04. Mr. Maurer did not agree withtnvS
figure as he felt it was not an a~ount that they could definitely count
.
on receiving. Mrs. Schmalz arrived at this figure by listing $2,088.04
which had been received from ~~s Division for Youth Supplemental Funding
1979, $16,406.00, for NYS Division for Youth Program Fu.nding 1979 and
the same amount .for 1980. However, she was not su:ce if it would be
I
received in 1980 or 1981, and for this reason, Mr. Maurer did not want
to put that figure in. vthen Hr. Rvan, Comptroller had received these
figures, he had contacted Mr. Maurer to check on the accuracy and had
been told by Mr. Maurer to use the figure of $7,500.00 for estimated
revenues rather than the ~34,900.04 figure listed. He explained that he
had not picked this figure out of a hat but when he had attended the
different serninars, he went to the finance meeting and had been told
tha.:: \las a safe figure when estimating revenue for the following year.
Ee also felt that these reports should be shown to all co~~issioners
'...rhEm they met so they all knew what was being submitted and could
discuss it intelligently. He directed that nothing be submitted in the
future to any Youth Boards without the Recreation Commission members
having full prior knowledge of them.
l.lr3. Schmalz reported that she had sJJ.bmi tted t;be 198Q/7.~' oposal to the

At a previous Town Board meeting, Mr. Johnson had r~quested a list of
organizations who use the Town fields from the Recreation Cornrnission
which had been requested from taxpayers present at the meeting. Mr.
En~esser had prepared a report on Field Facility Use which had been
sent to Mr. Johnson and was distributed at the meeting to the members
present and to Mrs. Reilly.
Hr. Petro .reported that the Tennis Program and tournaments ,,,ere
completed and it had been a very successful season. Everyone seemed
to be satisfied with the instructor and the attendants. Two trophies
had been turned in to the Town Hall earlier in the week and he requested
that they be stored until next year and they could change the date plate.
He noted that they had used an instructor from the Town of Poughkeepsie
because the one they had from wappinger had left and no one could be
found in this town who was willing to take the job or was qualified.
There was no.otqer business to come before the Corrmission
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
