The Town Board Meeting on October 14 began at 6 PM to accomodate other meetings being held at Town Hall. In addition of the Consent Agenda items (all approved - listed below), the Town Board held two public hearings - neither one receiving any public comment.
Public Hearing #1 - Extension of the United Wappinger Water District to include the Wappingers Falls Mobile Home Park on New Hackensack Road
Public Hearing #2 - Extending the Moratorium on Multi-family developments in the Town.
of course if the. public didn't get the notice last minute change of time to the meeting, thus the public hearings... that may have had some impact on the participation.
