The .~yor stated that the next order of business is the matter of the Early Entry request by the Town of Wappinger regarding ~r~ticipation in the Tri-_W~nicipal ~ System. .Mr Quartararo, COunsel for the Tri-.,Municipal C~u~,~ssion, stated that if there were any questions, he would be happy to answer them. Trustee DiDcmizio said that the Early Entry k~t the Town of Wappinger had nothing to do with the Village's concerns with the Town of Poughkeepsie. Mr. Quartararo agreed, sayLn9~ that the ~_arly Entry Agr~ment addresses financing, and the agreement between the Tri~4unicipal Co~ssion, the Town of Wappinger and the NYS-EFC allows the Cc~mgssion to bill the state Pmvolving Loan Fund directly so that it can write checks on the bonds that Wappinger is going to borrew. ~Ir. Quartararo stated that the latter agr~-~nent is not yet in hand, and that he felt that tl~t was something of a disadvantage because without it, the Cu~u~ssion would be having the Town of Wappinger Expansion Project billed without direct access to the funds. The Mayor stated that that agrc~--~ent is part of the Early Entry. Mr. Quartararo stated that if the Village Board did not vote to accept the Early Entry Agreement, he felt it would be a serious mistake on their part. He said that the Town of Poughkeepsie had voted to accept it and it had been signed by the Tri-Municipal Ccmmlission, and approval by the Village is needed,, as the bids are scheduled to be opened tcmorrow; and he could not recc~me~d that the C~m~ission accept the bids absent Village approval.
