She asked that the public keep their comments brief since there are a lot of people, that they come to the front and state their name and address for the record. The first resident to speak was Mary Schmalz. She referred to a document in the correspondence log that pertained to rezoning and low income housing. She Town of Wappinger Page 2 Printed 3/21/2012

3 stated that the town has low income housing. Ms. Schmalz stated that what the town needs is medium income housing. The seniors are leaving because it needs medium income housing. She then reminded the board that March 20 th is the Town s Birthday and that the town will be 137 years old. Supervisor Gutzler state that March 20 th is also the Village of Wappingers Falls elections. Councilman Bettina asked the Supervisor if she would allow two constituents to speak pertaining to a noise issue they have. Supervisor Gutzler stated that normally comments are held to agenda items only. Councilman Beale stated that he had no objection as long as they yield to the residents that have comments relevant to agenda items. Councilman Bettina stated that the board is working on a stricter noise ordinance and that they just haven t been able to go forward with it. He stated that the residents had a complaint about a noise issue He then invited the residents to speak. The residents, Thomas Senior, Barbara Senior and Jim Alishevsky explained that they have a problem with a homemade quad and dirt bike trail in the neighborhood. The neighbor rides all day and they are forced to listen to the noise. Mrs. Senior stated that she was surprised to see that the noise ordinance is in effect from 7am to 8pm. She understood that a new noise ordinance was going to be adopted and wrote the Supervisor and Councilman Bettina a letter stating their concerns. She added it s going to make for an awful summer listening to the noise since it s only March and they had to listen to the noise all day. Supervisor Gutzler asked the Town Attorney, Al Roberts, if the residents had any recourse. Mr. Roberts explained that they could call the police, but as Councilman Bettina stated they are in the process of adopting a new noise ordinance and in it there will be provisions as to the level of noise during the waking hours. Mr. Senior stated that it s more than waking hours; the noise is disturbing his quality of life. Councilman Bettina stated that the board and the planner are looking into a more restrictive ordinance but as of now their hands are tied. Mr. Alishevsky stated that the resident, with the dirt bikes, property abuts his property. That resident is also riding on Locus Drive which is a paper road and thinks he shouldn t be riding on that road either. He added that technically half of the road belongs to him. Councilman Bettina stated that it was probably a civil matter. The Town Attorney, Al Roberts, stated that if the road has not been dedicated than generally the abutting land owners own to the center line. It probably would be a civil matter. He added that the ordinance will involve training of individuals with sound meters and it is just getting to its final stages now. He thinks it should be ready to be introduced in April. Mr. Alishevsky cited a penal code to which Mr. Roberts stated that the town doesn t enforce penal law that is a civil matter. Councilman Beale questioned at what point it becomes trespassing. Mr. Roberts explained that a paper road is being offered to the municipality until it is accepted the title of it rest with the abutting land owners. He added that if the land owners posted it, trespassing could then be enforced. Councilman Beale questioned where the track was located. The resident stated that it was on the owner s property. Councilman Bettina stated that he understood that it was on private property but he was trying to find some relief for these residents. Discussion continued Motion To: Close the Floor to the Public RESULT: MOVER: SECONDER: AYES: ABSENT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] Vincent Bettina, Councilman Michael Kuzmicz, Councilman Barbara Gutzler, William Beale, Vincent Bettina, Michael Kuzmicz Ismay Czarniecki VIII. Discussions A. Presentation: E.J. Prescott Co. re Water Meters for the Town :20 Mike Tremper, from Camo Polution Control, explained the meters the Town currently uses and how they work. He stated that the system currently being used is 30 years old and is obsolete. In order to replace parts Debbie Brown, water and sewer billing clerk, has been calling other municipalities to get equipment that they are no longer using. He added soon there won t be any parts available. Mark Brady, the regional manager for E.J. Prescott Company, explained the operation of the old meters and functions. He stated that the meters have disks that oscillate as the water goes through. The minerals in the water slow the disks down, which affect the register on the meter, slowing it down. Although the parts can be changed, the parts now costs as much as the meter. The new meter has magnets which oscillate it s polarities inside and measures the ions. The old meter measures a ¼ gallon of water, the new meter measures 1/32 of a gallon. These new meter integrate the technology now as well as into the future. Supervisor Gutzler stated that the replacement of the meters is needed. There are about 2500 meters in the town that Town of Wappinger Page 3 Printed 3/21/2012

4 are leaking and the parts are no longer available. She stated that people are using excessive water and it is affecting the resident s bill because they are being charged for water that other people are using. The Board asked E.J. Prescott Company to speak to the board because they feel the meters really need to be updated. Mr. Brady explained that the technology now will go from the touch read to electronically reading using a walk-by hand held device to putting a device in vehicle and getting 800 readings in an hour without going on a residents property and lastly will be able to have Ms. Brown pull the reads from an area without leaving her desk. He stated that the meters are all adoptable to the new technology. Councilman Bettina stated that he would like to see a benefit analyst done. Councilman Beale questioned if the town had the ability to find out what the unaccountable use of water is. Mr. Tremper stated that it would be a lot of effort by Debbie. They did do analyst a few years ago for the budget process. They came up with 85% accountability. He stated that the town needs a system that can read the meters. Supervisor Gutzler stated that if the meters can t be read the resident is charged the minimum and in some cases they are being charged too much in some not enough. Councilman Beale questioned if the town has 85% accountability why in this economical times do they need to replace the meters. Mr. Tremper stated that water is an important commodity and you want to keep a handle on it. People should be paying for what they use. If there isn t an accurate metering system in place it will be hard to create a pay as you go system. He added that Debbie is still sending out cards for the resident to read their own meters. Discussion continued. Councilman Kuzmicz thanked Mr. Tremper for his quick response to the Pye Lane water issue. B. Rebuilding Together fee waivers - Gutzler :05 Supervisor Gutzler stated that Rebuilding Together has a list of homes that they will be working on and they have asked to have the building fees waived. They will still need to get the permits but the fees will be waived. Supervisor Gutzler made the motion to waive the fees seconded by Councilman Kuzmicz. All were in favor. Motion To: Wave Fees for Rebuilding Together RESULT: MOVER: SECONDER: AYES: ABSENT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] Michael Kuzmicz, Councilman William Beale, Councilman Barbara Gutzler, William Beale, Vincent Bettina, Michael Kuzmicz Ismay Czarniecki C. Septic repairs at the Emergency Services Building - Gutzler :10 Supervisor Gutzler state that the septic pipe for the Emergency Service building rotted. She commended Steve Frasier and John Sullivan for the work that they did outside. The problem was that the pipe inside the building is rotted and broke through the concrete and needs to be replaced and that time is of the essence. The State Troopers have to move to the Transcare portion of the building. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, explained that in an emergency, the situation can be handled in the manner the Supervisor sees fit. In an emergency the competitive bidding policy is waived. He added that if they see fit, they should declare an emergency get the quotes under the direction of Bob Gray and Steve Frasier, then get the work done. Supervisor Gutzler questioned how she declares an emergency. Mr. Roberts stated that the board can adopt a resolution declaring an emergency at the Emergency Service building in connection with the required pipe repairs for the septic discharge. Supervisor Gutzler stated The Town Board declares an emergency at the Emergency Services Building for the purpose of the emergency repairs to the in ground piping system leading to the septic. The motion was made by Councilman Beale, seconded by Councilman Kuzmicz all where in favor. Steve Frasier thanked Mike Tremper from Camo Polution for sending guys over to help them get it back on line. Supervisor Gutzler thanked Steve and John again for their work Motion To: Declare an Emergency at the Emergency Services Building for the Purpose of Repairs for the in Ground Piping System Leading into the Building.

Soccer Fields at Rockingham & Airport Parks - Gutzler :05 Supervisor Gutzler had a memo from Mr. LaPurch from the United Soccer League in regard to the drainage issues and vandalism at Airport Park and Rockingham. He stated someone had done wheelies on the fields leaving ruts. Steve Frasier stated that he did receive a complaint by phone but when they went out there they couldn t find any significant damage. E. Recycle Center sticker & permit sales - Gutzler :10 Supervisor Gutzler stated that the Town Clerk asked her to bring to the attention of board the fact that residents are complaining that the permits they are purchasing now, have already lost 3 months. She asked the board to consider the selling of the stickers on a cumulative year rather than a calendar year. Councilman Beale stated that he would like to keep the permits on the color coded annual permits. He continued saying that they will not have real credible numbers until the last quarter of If they start changing things now they will have a moving target. He feels keeping it the way it is, is the only way to have a definitive number. Councilman Bettina stated that the fishing license is sold the same way. They are not prorated. Councilman Kuzmicz stated he was not on the board when the plan was put in place. He feels that to change the plan would change the structure and that the town is already hemorrhaging money and it s only going to get worse. He added he agreed with Councilman Beale and Bettina. A Resident stated that he agreed with Councilman Beale, that since it is all color coded why change on a monthly bases. He suggested prorating on a quarterly base for those people that move into the town or decide to use it then, as the quarters go by just change the sticker. It s the same sticker it s only good for six months so give it to them at a six month rate rather than pay for the annual rate. He added that the color could stay the same; all the board would have to do is adopt a simple resolution. Councilman Bettina stated that it was a good point. Supervisor Gutzler stated that maybe by the 27 th meet they could give the Town Clerk an answer as to whether to keep it as is or prorate. Councilman Bettina stated that he wanted the residents to know that this is not a money making proposition, there is a big deficit. He suggested that the board look at the hard numbers at the next meeting to get a better idea. Councilman Beale stated that he would like to have a discussion at the April 9 th meeting with about 20 minutes set aside for the discussion. F. Safety issues at Robinson lane/little League and Capital Improvements Supervisor Gutzler stated thatshe had a meeting with the officers of the Little League. They gave her a list of items that need repairing before they can have an inspection done. The total cost is about $25, She added most of which are capital improvement and would fall under Park Land Trust. Al Roberts, Town Attorney, explained the procurement policy and the amendment that is on the agenda. He continued stating that the original total for the repairs Little League requested was over $40,00.00 and that they brought it down the figures by prioritizing the list of repairs. Steve Frazier, Buildings and Grounds, stated that he has met with different fence companies and he work orders need to have more details in order for him to get similar quotes. Councilman Bettina asked what happened to the fence that was out as Robinson Lane. Mr. Frazier stated that he didn t take it down, that it might have been Little League. Councilman Bettina stated he wanted Mr. Frazier to get back to the board as to who took down the fence because it is town property. IX.
