An informational meeting relative to the Community Development <br />Block Grant Program was held December 10,1986 at 7:15 p.m. at <br />the Village offices at the American Legion Hall on Spring St. <br /> <br />Present: Mayor Synnett, Trustees Alfonso, Greco, Komornik, <br /> Schinella, Silvestri,. and Todaro; also present Super. <br /> Herring. <br /> <br />The Mayor explained that an additional $4,000.00 had been allocated <br />to the Village under the Urban County Consortium for the 1986 pro- <br />gram year, and that the purpose of the meeting was to solicit com- <br />ments on the potential use of the funds. <br /> <br />Councilman Darrow recommended using the funds to install sidewalks <br />on the north end of the Village toward the South Hills Mall. <br /> <br />The Mayor pointed out that the Village sidewalks extend to the <br />Village line, and that that area was outside the village. <br /> <br />Tr. Greco mentioned that sidewalks in that area had been proposed <br />as part of the DOT 9D project, but that the Town of Poughkeepsie <br />had turned it down. <br /> <br />Tr. Schinella stated that Mr. Darrow was welcome to approach the <br />Town Board in reference to the installation of sidewalks in that <br />area. <br /> <br />Tr. Greco inquired as to whether the funds could be used for the <br />purchase of fire equipment. It was pointed out that that was <br />doubtful, as it would be unlikely to meet one of the three national <br />criteria. <br /> <br />The Mayor stated that drainage work was necessary in the Third <br />Ward. <br /> <br />Tr. Greco observed that the DOT Rte 9 project included installa- <br />tion of drainage, and that that should relieve a large part of the <br />problem in the Brookside-Remsen Ave. area. <br /> <br /> -the Board decided to seek a meeting with DOT to further <br />clarify some of the particulars of the Route 9 project. <br /> <br />Tr. Schinella recommended adding the additional funds to the <br />present 1986 project. <br /> <br />-the informational meeting closed at 7:28 p.m., at which time <br />the Board went in to regular session of the monthly meeting. <br /> <br /> Motion by Tr. Alfonso, seconded by Tr. Silvestri that the <br />additional CDBG funds for 1986 be added to the present 1986 <br />project, the Village Parking Project. - carried. <br /> <br /> <br />
