Enclosed for your review is a proposal from Malcolm Pirnie
Inc. To administer the Town's Industrial Pre-Treatment Program.
The anticipated cost is not to exceed $45,000.00. These monies
have been budgeted in account number SS18110.401. I have been
working with Mr. Loeb in an attempt to pass this expense onto
the industrial dischargers.
I recommend that the Board accept the Malcolm Pirnie contract
at this time. If you have any further questions, please contact
me at your convenience.

From: Middletown School District
Again this year, we would like to make a request for the use
of the Wallkill Golf Course for our Middletown High School
Golf Team. We will have approximately nine matches starting
in early April and ending in late May that consist of nine
holes played by a total of eight to ten participants.
Many of our athletes live in the Town of Wallkill and already
play the Wallkill course. This activity would give us a home
field advantage. We would also like to be able to practice
with a nine hole round starting at 2:45 PM and would conclude
at approximately 4:30 PM. As the practices and matches are
only nine holes, they move very quickly.
If these arrangements meet with your approval, please call
or write me to confirm. Thank you for your assistance.
