A ~pecial meeting of the Village. Board of Trustees was held on 2-23-81 at 7:30 P.M. in the American Legion. Present: Trustees Moruzzi~ Costa~ Dolan, DiGregorio. Water Commissioners: Catalano~ Chase and Berinato. Atty. Lyons. Engineers: Paggi & Hartin. The following letter frecelved from NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation: Re: Village of Wappingers Falls- 6th Application Water Supply Application #7104 DEC #314-22-O081 The enclosed letter of January 13th fron the New York State Department of Health recommends approval of your application subject to the condition that the Villa0e agree to eliminate a large portion of its enormous leakage problem by January 1, 1982. This Department concurs with that recommendation and proposes to require as a condition to any permit granted that the Village develop and implement a program of leak detection and elimination which is acceptable to this Department and the Department of Health. Both agencies agree at this time that a reduction of water lost through leakage to approximately 20~ of the total pumped would be acceptable. We believe, as does the Health Departmentm that January l, 1982 is a reasonable date by which to attain this reduction. In addition~ we are aware that the Village is presently serving customers outside of its approved service area without the necessary approval of t~is Department. We have, therefore decided that our granting of this permit must be conditioned upon agreement that the Village will file an application to cover all those extensions of service not currently approved by the Department of Environmental Conservation. This application would have to be filed by July 1, 1981. If you agree with these proposed conditions please forward a written statement to that effect to me by February 20~ 1981. Failure to reach agreement on either of these two matters will necessitate a Departmental hearing prior to a final decision on your application. Atty. Lyons reported w missed the deadline and recommended requesting an extension until 3-4-81. Motion by Tr. Costa~ seconded by Tr. DiGregorio that the Village comply with the conditions set forth in the above mentioned letter. Carried. Discussion followed on proposed renovations to Rte. 9D and the following was determined regarding a bond issue. 1. Board adopts a resolution authorizing the issuance of serial bonds in the amount of x dollars. 2. Same can be subject to public referendum or can publish notice of adoption. 3.If 20 % of voters sign a petition requesting referendum, same must be held.
