Board OKs $775 generator inspection and greenlights cost estimates for boathouse repairs
Summary
Trustees authorized an inspection of the police-station generator at an estimated $775 and agreed in principle to pursue repairs and possible upgrades to the boathouse HVAC using restricted recreation funds; trustees asked for estimates before approving spending.
Wappingers Falls, N.Y. — The Village of Wappingers Falls Board of Trustees on May 14 authorized a $775 inspection of the police station generator and discussed next steps to repair or replace the system, and agreed to seek estimates for air‑conditioning and insulation work at the boathouse with an eye to using restricted recreation funds.
A trustee reported no clear records exist for the police‑station generator and asked the board to authorize Peak Power Systems (the vendor that services the water‑treatment generator) to inspect the police unit for $775 to determine whether repair or replacement is required. Trustees agreed to proceed and several members signaled approval for the inspection cost.
Separately, the board heard a report from a parks/recreation meeting about the boathouse. Trustees said the boathouse needs air‑conditioning work, likely replacement parts and additional insulation in eaves to keep the structure dry and usable. The building inspector advised that with a certificate of occupancy for a three‑season room AC could be used; trustees discussed modest rate increases for rentals if AC is provided.
Trustees gave staff permission to obtain quotes and explore spending restricted recreation fund balances to pay for necessary repairs; no final spending decision was made until estimates are returned. One trustee asked that quotes be obtained promptly so the work can proceed before summer programs.
What happens next: staff will obtain detailed quotes for boathouse HVAC work and report back; Peak Power Systems will inspect the police generator and report findings.
