1. Resolution adopting the Proposed 2019 Budget

Supervisor Shea stated that there is a 1.8% increase for the proposed budget, noting that we are well under the 2% cap. He noted that there are two areas that he would like to change, one being Highway dental, which amounts to an increase of $1,600.00 and secondly, employee benefits will increase from $15,000 to $16,600. There will be an increase for the drug counselor coordinator, as this position has become almost a full time position. The current salary is $12,000 and will be increased to $15,000.

He went on to say that there are some outstanding questions regarding the Garrison Ambulance Corp, it has been decided that they are going to leave the increase in the budget, however no funds will be released until their accountant speaks with our accountants. He stressed that the town needs to know where the monies are going, emphasizing that he doesn’t see any wrong doing, and the town just want a clearer explanation of their submission.

He noted that there was a decrease in the Continental Village Water District and a flat line in the Park District Budget.

Supervisor Shea thanked the employees and the Board for their assistance in the preparation of the budget. Liz Armstrong stated that she thought that years ago, the town did away with dental insurance for the employees. Supervisor Shea stated that the dental insurance is only for Highway personnel as per their union agreement.

ADDICTION RESOURCE COORDINATOR’S REPORT- Danielle Pack-McCarthy thanked Councilwoman Montgomery for her help. She went on to explain how underserved this community is....that residents have to go all the way over to Carmel for services. She has been working within the community to get resources here in Philipstown and is looking for funding to help achieve this. The time is right now for this to happen, to build some tangible services here.

She and Councilwoman Montgomery met with New York Presbyterian Hospital at Butterfield to see what services they might be able to provide here. The hospital asked for statistics and she and Councilwoman Montgomery will provide that info to them.

Ms. Pack-McCarthy reported that she is now trained in mental health first aid for adults which is a CPR for mental health/wellness.

Both Haldane and Garrison school districts have shown an interest in this and she has a meeting with the Garrison School next week.

She attends Judge Linson’s court and provides info/resources as requested, and is working to get Legal aid to come to Philipstown to make it easier for families.

There is still a lot of work to be done especially with the cost of treatment and helping families learn to navigate the process.

Town Clerk Merando read the reports submitted for the Village of Cold Spring and Philipstown which are on file in the Town Clerks office.

7. Any other business that may come before the Town Board.

Supervisor Shea said that as the Board knows they did not reach a settlement on the cell tower issue out by Magazzino. It looked promising, but it was decided that it was not the way to go and the need for this has not been proven yet. In his mind these are going to be obsolete and the tower companies are just making monies at the town’s expense. He has had the town attorney draft a letter to the insurance company and he would like authorization to send out the letter.

RESOLUTION #-2018The following Resolution was presented by Councilwoman Montgomery, seconded by Councilman Van Tassel and unanimously carried;

RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby authorizes Supervisor Shea to sign the letter to the insurance company with regard to the cell tower on Route 9.

[MUNICIPALITY NAME] has adopted a standardized inspection checklist, which can be found in the Understanding Solar PV Permitting and Inspecting in New York State document, found here: [WEBSITE ADDRESS].

The inspection checklist provides an overview of common points of inspection that the applicant should be prepared to show compliance. If not available, common checks include the following:

• Number of solar PV modules and model number match plans and specification sheets number match plans and specification sheets.

• Array conductors and components are installed in a neat and workman-like manner.• Solar PV array is properly grounded.• Electrical boxes and connections are suitable for environment.• Array is fastened and sealed according to attachment detail.• Conductor’s ratings and sizes match plans.• Appropriate signs are property constructed, installed and displayed, including the following:

Sign identifying PV power source system attributes at DC disconnect.Sign identifying AC point of connection.Rapid shutdown device meets applicable requirements of NEC 690.12.

• Equipment ratings are consistent with application and installed signs on the installation, including the following:

- Inverter has a rating as high as max voltage on PV power source sign.- DC-side overcurrent circuit protection devices (OCPDs) are DC rated at least as high as max voltage on

sign.- Inverter is rated for the site AC voltage supplied and shown on the AC point of connection sign.- OCPD connected to the AC output of the inverter is rated at least 125% of maximum current on sign and is

no larger than the maximum OCPD on the inverter listing label.- Sum of the main OCPD and the inverter OCPD is rated for not more than 120% of the buss bar rating.
