The regular meeting of the Town of Wappinger Recreation Commission was held June 13, 1985 at Town Hall, Village of Wappingers Falls, County of Dutchess, New York. Mr. Maurer opened the meeting at 8:10 P.M. with the following persons present: Hugh J. Maurer, Chairman, Robert Blose, Director, and Commission Members Joseph Mastroianni, Mary Schmalz and William Wood. Herb Stoller arrived at 8:16 P.M. The minutes of the May 9, 1985 meeting were approved on a motion by Mr. Wood seconded by Mr. Mastroianni with the following correction on the last sentence on Page 2 "Mrs. Schmalz was concerned about getting the new doors on the building at Martz". DIRECTORS REPORT Mr. Blose reported the following: 1. The playgrounds are almost ready although several people have quit since being hired. All have been replaced except one for Quiet Acres. The order for playground equipment is in. Several trips are planned to Splashdown and 2 plays are scheduled by C.E.R.T. at Schlathaus Park. The children from Spook Hill will be going swimming first so that a couple extra weeks are available to get the grounds in shape. At present the roof is on the building at Spook Hill but the doors are not. The new equipment is on order from Miracle. The invoice will go to Klein. 2. Some discussion took place regarding the equipment at Hughsonville Firehouse. A decision was made based on past experience, that equipment tends to get ruined when it is removed. Therefore for the present it will be left there. 3. Mr. Blose mentioned that for several years a few directors have been returning. He felt that in order to keep them they should be given an increase. Mr. Stoller made a motion seconded by Mr. Wood that Barbara Montross, Kira Disbrow, Elmer Wilday and Pat Wilday be given a $20.00 a week increase. All were in favor. 4. So far 3 events are scheduled for Schlathaus Park, one with Dutchess Community College, one with Steve Johnson and one with Handman Family. ~ l' ,.. Page 2 MINUTES June 13, 1985 Mr. Blose is trying to schedule Nick Seeger and the Sweet Ade1ines have contacted him to present a concert. He is working on 2 concerts for teenagers one possibly with a "battle of the bands" concert. A suggestion was made that the teenagers concert be held at Robinson Lane where it would not be so close to neighbors and possibly the Little League would be able to run the concession stand. A flat bed could be used as a platform. Mr. Blose will check on this. Mr. Blose and Mr. Maurer attended a meeting at Chelsea Firehouse regarding the Recreation Area. The District requested that a Certificate of Insurance be forwarded to them. The secretary will take care of this. Also discussed was a request for a fence to be erected from the southwest corner of the school to the fence on the west boundary. This item will also be done as soon as possible. LIGHTS Mr. Blose reported that the tennis lights are fixed with the exception of 1 fixture which is to be repaired. Mike Silvestri suggested that covers be placed on the lights at a cost of $39.00 each but was told this would not be done at the present time. The basketball lights are fixed but there seems to be a break in the underground line. Mike Silvestri has tested the system and thinks he knows where the break is. A back hoe will be brought in and the break will be fixed. Mrs. Schmalz asked if a trouble light was to be put in to shine toward the building and dugouts to help prevent vandalism. A quote of $470.00 was received from Silvestri to move the electric line at Sch1athaus to a pole so the old dead tree could be removed. Mr. Wood suggested that we contact Central Hudson to see if they would donate a pole. Mr Blose will contact Leo Clark or Jim Van Voorhis at the Fishki11 Office. SCHIATHAUS PARK Mr. Maurer mentioned that he ordered the flowers to be placed around the signs, flagpole and in front of the platform at Sch1athaus Park. It was also suggested that we contact Lawrence Farms or D'Agostino's for a new Christmas Tree. Mr. Blose reported that Councilwoman Paino would like a memo from the Recreation Commission regarding the progress on the following: 1. The doorknob on the Ladies Room at Robinson Lane. 2. The "L" around the Ladies Room at Robinson Lane. 3. Fencing at Robinson Lane. 't~ .. Page 3 MINUTES June 13, 1985 A memo will be written to Mrs. Paino stating thatfue doorknob is in and we are waiting for the maintenance people to put it on. The "L" is under advisement. At the present time the fencing project at Rockingham has been completed and the necessary emergency fencing repairs have been done at Robinson Lane and Martz Field. The bigger parts of the projects have to wa~ until games are completed because they will take more than one day because cement has to be poured and it would interfere with games already scheduled. It was suggested that a meeting be set up with the Town Board to discuss responsibilities and guidelines for the Commission. SPOOK HILL Councilwoman Ballard joined the meeting at 9:00 to report that the O'Hares have reported to the Town Board that kids are driving behind the handball court. She mentioned that the Town Board suggested that a fence be put up in the front of the Park and that the money would come from the Parkland's Trust Fund. A discussion took place later and a suggestion was made that we look into Railroad ties and/or telephone poles to make a fence instead of a chain link one. The poles would be placed 4' down and 3' high with a steel pipe across the top. It was mentioned that signs should be posted. SENIOR CITIZENS Mr. Mastroianni reported that the trip to Shawnee went well with 44 attending. BAND SHELL - SCHLATHAUS PARK Mr. Mastroianni reported that he had contacted LaGrange regarding their band shell and found that the Lions Club had it built and that they probably have the blueprints. He was given the name of Chuck Johnson and has been trying to contact him. CASTLE POINT Mrs. Ballard mentioned that a request was received for some play- ground equipment at the Castle Point site. A suggestion was made by Mrs. Ballard that Mr. Croshier be asked to move the swings from Ange1brook to Castle Point and that we get new seats. BURGLAR ALARMS Mrs. Schmalz asked about having the alarm connected to the new section of the building at Robinson Lane. The Commission agreed that this should be done. f .. Page 4 MINUTES June 13, 1985 YE OLDE APPLE ORCHARD Mr. Wood asked about the right of way and was told that because the letter was not accepted by the Hopkins, the letter was turned over to Carl Amburgy of the Town Parto1 and Sherifts Dept. He visited the Hopkins and they told him they would keep the right of way open. Mr. Wood mentioned that signs should be posted. QUIET ACRES The secretary reported for Mrs. Korz that the field has been mowed but the grass around the swings and slide need to be trimmed. Also the chain was reported to be broken. A letter was received from Cardinal Hayes Home for Children regarding the recreational needs of the area and the possibility of improving recreational opportunities in the Town of Wappinger . HERRINGTON HILLS The above subdivision map was reviewed and a motion was made by Mr. Wood seconded by Mr. Stoller to request lots 17 and 18 for recreational purposes. All were in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 on a motion by Mr. Wood seconded by Mr. Mastroianni.
