A letter was received from Hughsonville Fire District
granting approval for use of their Fire Company grounds for
the summer playground.
A letter was received from Mr. Frank Masci of the
Wappinger United Soccer Club stating that he would be unable
to attend our meeting. We will invite him to attend our
August meeting. Mr. John Russo of soccer attended and
reviewed some of the problems facing soccer. He will return
to the August meeting.
A memo was received from Herb Levenson, Clerk of the
Planning Board suggesting that a sidewalk be included in the
plans for the Chelsea Heights Subdivision. After a
discussion the Commission voted that a pathway be made but we
questions the sidewalk. Our intention is to keep the area
"country looking". A letter will be sent to the Planning
Board stating this.
Application forms have been received for the purchase of
4 tables for Castle Point using the Heritage Task Force
grant.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Since Mr. Reimer was unable to attend the meeting, he
taped his report on a video. The report was presented by
Summer Director Amy Slacin.
He mentioned that the camps are going well with
exceptionally high registration at Hughsonville and Quiet
Acres. An additional counselor was hired for Hughsonville
and a counselor was transferred from Robinson Lane to Quiet
Acres.
We received the Board of Health permit from Dutchess
County Health Department. Mr. Reimer feels we should fight
the camp vs playground status of the Board of Health.
When the Comptroller was approached regarding the
purchase of cellular phone for Castle POint, she mentioned
that her son worked at Cellular One and therefore she was
able to obtain a loaner for our program duration. A letter
thanking Cellular One has been sent.
The gymnastics program at Myers Corners School is going
well with between 40 - 50 children registered.
The tennis program is going well after a tough
registration. There were so many registered (between 25 and
30 children and 25 adults)that we had to hire an assistant.
The conference the Summer Playground staff attended was
a huge success. It was suggested that Dutchess County hold
one next year.
QUIET ACRES
Mrs. Korz was unable to attend but sent in a request
that the basketball nets be repaired at the above park.
SENIOR CITIZENS
Mr. Mastroianni reported that the trip to Matamoras, Pa.
went well last month. The next trip will be August 14th to
West Point, a cruise on the Hudson and trip to the
Brotherhood winery. Reservations will accepted next
Thursday, July 19th.
ROBINSON LANE
Mr. Miller mentioned that they are putting the roofs on
the dugouts at R-2 and the girls softball dugouts.
,
BOAT RAMP
Mr. Maurer reported that the docks are being put in and
that we are building ramps to attach to them.
ROCKINGHAM
Mr. Rider asked about the seeding of the bare spots at
the soccer fields. Most members felt that it wouldn't
survive. The best time would be in the Spring and Fall but
that is when the leagues are playing.
SCHLATHAUS PARK
A suggestion was made to build a 20 x 20 concrete
platform in front of the bandstand. We would have to dig it
out and place wire there. It was suggested that we look
further in to this getting some estimates. It was also
suggested that we work up a landscaping plan whereby if
someone wants to donate something we would have to a plan
ready.
The stage has been painted and the bottom railing
removed. There were a number of complaints from the
performers on the railing- difficult to unload and in the
case of the magician difficult for the kids to see.
CASTLE POINT
Mr. Holt mentioned that Trap Rock Corp was ready on
Tuesday to truck in the item #4 for the roadway at the above
complex. A letter was sent to request this donation.
B. & D. will truck the item #4 at $4.00 a ton. The quote
from Corbin was higher at $5.50 a ton.
TENNIS LIGHTS
Mr. Holt, Mr. Vorndran, Chris Bar Electric and a Central
Hudson Representative reviewed the tennis lights. We were
advised that Central Hudson has a conservation program
whereby then will pay to replace the lights with a more
efficient lighting system. The new lights would give 50%
more light using 50% less energy. The cost is $385. a set
and we would need 12. Central Hudson will cover us up to
$400 a set. We will have to pay for installation but we
won't have to change the poles or the brackets. The
paperwork will be filled out and sent in. If Central Hudson
approved this, Chris Bar will do the work.
MASTER PLAN
Copies of the Master Plan up to date were passed out to
each member and they were requested to review it and return
it to the Secretary with any corrections or additions /
deletions by next week.
HERRINGTON HILLS
A revised subdivision map of the above was reviewed and
the Commission voted to take lots 17 and 18 for Tennis
Courts.
It was noted that Mr. Reese passed away and it was
suggested that a sympathy card be sent to Mrs. Reese.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 on a motion by Mr.
Miller seconded by Mr. Maurer with all in favor.
