Oct 18 Work Session

10/29/2014

 
                                                       Minutes 10/18/14 Work Session
The meeting was called to order and the following board members were in attendance: Hank Earle; Mike Ercole, Patricia Ploeger, Rich Filippelli, Marguerite Shortt, and Laura Russo.

 Salute to the flag


Minutes – 9/18 and 10/2 should be approved to post

 Old Business – grant – still pending

 Weed mapping – Mid November – we will get a hard copy and soft copy – the town also gets a copy.
 Tonetta Lake – Loves the carp Marguerite to get more info and details – clarity of the water is great.
Based on the DEC’s decision – we will see the pros and cons and decide how to proceed from there. Post the findings on the website. We will keep researching

 Fall clean up – Saturday -11 am to 3 – remove the docks and rafts – we have the bags and hot dogs, etc…we need help organizing it
Fence is up – Duke did a great job – looks good – one piece crunched and there is a gap from the wall to the fence.  Needs something to fill in the gap.  Beach is clean. Once Hank approves it; Pat will drop off Ed Garrity’s bill to the town. We still need Duke’s bill.

 Pat & Hank looked at Hudson’s beach fence – may need a 6 ft fence because of the way the land is. Maybe hire someone to remove the fence and trees intertwined in the fence.

 Johnson, Jackson, Fairfield Beaches – we need a plan of what is needed to be done to each.
Erosion, swings, benches, BBQ’s,  - Get an over all plan then do each improvement so we do not have to re-do anything  in the future.

Jackson’s fence has to be a priority.
Looking to plan an overall restoration of all the beaches. – post to website


Hudson – gap in the fence, remove it. It needs some work. Send out a quote for the Hudson Beach – it was decided to start with a game plan first

 Find a landscape architect – engineer – to look at topography.
 Pat to ask people and Hank will ask a few people for recommendations

 Benches – recycled plastic – concrete footings? – yes size -  4 feet, 6 or 8 feet


Walking path – past the road line – looks pretty open – just over grown with vines. Call and get a price to get the vines removed. Try to get a volunteer group to start working to clean up the area on Lake Shore Drive. Make a flyer and post on the website to try and get volunteers. Pat will pick a date and give Mike the flyer to post on the website.

 No maintenance work this weekend – it’s a volunteer work weekend – if we need something done contact Dave for additional time and work.

 Ball field drainage – Rich got 3 bids - $5k in the budget – all 3 bids state the willow trees need to come down. Otherwise we will have more issues down the road. Prices do not include the removal of the trees.

We will write up what we want and then resend to all 3 for new estimates. Need each one’s email addresses.

 Basketball Court – Hank spoke to someone that did one in Pawling. Hank will go look at it. $30K it could be a tennis court also – asphalt -  Doug Hern for just black top not including a sub base - $19, 250. It doesn’t include hoop and pole.  Blacktop prices 1st, then have it sealed, decorative,

Are we going to police the kids? No, so we need to ask the town to fund it or help fund it. The town owns the ball field. Let’s make a deal with the town. We need something for the youths in this area. Local walk to or ride bikes to. Pat and Marguerite will go see Rich Williams.

 It is for all of Patterson residents. We can put some parking in near the basketball court
Mike Ercole’s quote was for 75K – it gets delivered and someone needs to put it together. Just get’s dropped on the concrete base

 Baseball backstop – Rich F - is going to get a price for a scoreboard.

Marguerite needs to talk to the town about our own sign. One large sign or 2 separate signs. Maybe consider a digital sign? She will do a preliminary with Rich Williams.

 BCC emails – Mike tested it and it worked

 Neighborhood watch meeting was fine – not a huge turnout but the people that did show up – showed interest. Pat ordered and paid for the stickers – her donation.

 Do we want to budget for 2015 for the neighborhood watch? Is this a project of the PLPD?
Let’s try to make this self funding – we need to find out who the checks should be made payable to:

 Donation to church – get a check from the town for the first week of Dec


Remove boats by Nov 22nd – look for volunteers to help move boats to people’s homes.

 The trailer to be stored on the parklands while decorating it.

Hudson hydrant – there is no turn around – the grade doesn’t allow a fire truck down and back up because of the dip in the road. They can remove the fence and re-grade it. Then we can put up a new fence later on. 
Ryan Taylor gave us great info for contact water and soil conservation at Cornell Ext – They get grants and they might be able to help us using grants.

Marguerite will get information on what vegetation  will benefit the water.

Oct 2 Work session

10/16/2014

 
                                         Minutes 10/2/14 - Work session

 Jerry is done for the season until next year. 
 David – work projects? – boat house – on hold weather permitting

On South Lake untagged boat and where the walkout dock is – there is garbage that needs to be picked up – David, Hank, Pat to meet at the boat house to access. If weather is fine – he can continue with other projects

 Fall clean up – buy water, soda, hot dogs, and condiments. BBQ should be fine. Try to get the whole board there to help out.

 Projects:
Tom D: easy access to beach and water –handicap parking – if you do a new beach possible grant – (handicap) need proper grading at Warren Beach to start.
Set up canopies for shade – is there special training for lifeguards; no additional liability

Jackson beach would be better for grading and depth than Warren Beach. Shed for storage of the Mobi-mats for the winter. Also add Mobi-mats into the water near the boat launch. Also have a spot to secure a boat for easy access to get in a boat and not flip over. Blacktop from parking lot to beach before the Mobi-mat – find out the proper grading. We could be compliant at one beach for ADA. Need 3 prices. Why this specific quality, etc. Create a performance spec together, weight, durability, wear and tear. Maybe get samples

 Firehouse Holiday Parade Float:
Tom’s idea: - 4 vehicles – Hank’s van – decide on the vehicle – boat, give out Swedish fish. Tom has drawings. Santa; ONLY one Santa should be in the parade – Early November finalize the design and the parade is the 1st weekend - December 6th - $100 donation to fire house re-use the float year after year. We need a budget to purchase candy, lights and supplies. Hank to be scrooge! Instead of Santa!

 

Benches- Marguerite- we need to decide which ones- we need them heavy so they do not get picked up and thrown into the lake. We need affordable benches. Where do we want them? It should be only one style. We could fund them via donation of a bench with plaques. In memory of? Share the bench with more than one donation plaque.

 Doggie poop station – how many? Put them on the no parking signs – but neighborhood watch signs to go there.

 Ball field – Rich Williams gave a drawing of where the county drainage pipe is. Rich will draw a map of where the piping should go. 1st base line out to drainage pipe. Get 3 estimates. Tommy Consulato, Ed Gerrity, Sign for new scoreboard – Rich F to get 3 prices- even if under $499 need the prices- at least for the board to review and approve.

 Hank – docks – replace as is – base price – Marvin?? To give a price
Soffits for boat house to be done. Bruce Major’s kid to give a price

 Marguerite – Olson’s get price – get ideas to add a sign a VFW. Talk to the town about putting it next to their sign –we should coordinate with them

Ed Gerrity waiting to start working on the fence until his truck is fixed. Duke took down the fence. –Mike Ercole got a message during the meeting that Ed got the truck back and the wall will be completed by Sunday.

 Pat – fences- code in NY State – 4 foot pool only – Town code said nothing higher than 4 foot. We can have it higher – we could allow it – 4 foot should be fine?  Board likes the 4 foot black fence. Hudson and Johnson start with 1 entry gate and a double gate 10 feet for lawn mower then work on Lacona.

 Memorial field named ? Why? Have a memorial for Matt. It is being worked on.

 Boats - take boats off or leave them on? Remove boats 2014 on Dec 1st

 For next year we need to discuss car stickers & boat stickers

 Halloween - 12 businesses to participate– 15-20 kids


 Mass emails – start bcc and create groups; mass; board; neighborhood watch, etc…

 Basketball Court – Mike and Rich to work on

 Pat: Rich Williams – Fire Marshall requested a turn-around down on Hudson Beach – Rich Williams gave approval and it never happened. It is between Dave Reigns and Fire Department – Mike Ercole to get clarification.

 There are abandoned boats that need to be cleaned up on PLPD clean up day. If in good condition – sell it next year.
Life guard evaluations are not in - Hank to discuss with Ben – need to be handed in ASAP.


Laura will handle this process next year from start to finish

 Weed mapping – Pat spoke to Chris and mappings are done – results are behind. Should be ready for Nov meeting – Rich will fill out the carp application – then we will vote – or should we get opinions from people that have carp first? But only talk to the chairperson of each group – maybe select 5 groups- once we get approved for carp then we can discuss the carp gate. No need for carp gate if we do not get carp

 Dam – Bruce Major questioned the dam – maybe burdened financially on the town as a whole/PLPD as a whole.

 Mike Griffin promised the PLPD will not be totally responsible for the financially burden when the district was being formed. Budget -$25k for a fluese(sp) gate. DEC budget is $300,000
There is a formula for the Dam – all good news.
