5/16/2012 Fishkill Town Workshop Meeting

Of importance: The board clearly supports a developers plan. To donate waterfront land to the town. So the town can then apply for a grant to build a $10 million bridge to gain access to the site. The town will not only pay for the bridge. They may have to build the park to the tune of $4 million. The developer then gets access to nearly 100 acres of waterfront land. Great deal for the developer. When Pagones was Supervisor, she had the developer build the bridge and the park.

 The board indicated that Merritt Park/Toll was not blending with village water. But will continue with the plan to connect to Brinckerhoff Water. They may also apply for a loan to do so. Another $1 million bond for a smaller sewer district was found to be loaned for other purposes. Even though filing false documents is illegal. The board is not going to move on holding those accountable for those action. Judges want a $9,000 pay raise to work 2 extra nights for traffic.

Board then went into Executive Session to vote on Police issues. There appears to be a growing conflict between the board and PBA. Note: These sessions are not televised and are just as important as regular meetings as this is where they discuss the issues. It's also a way of keeping info away from the public.
