Environmental Health Services, County of Suffolk, and Valerie Scopaz,'Town Planner
to clarify the Town's policy with the Health Department that building permits not
be issued until there is a valid water permit contract with the Village of Greenport.
Ms. Scopaz advised, and the Town Board agreed, that the Town does not want the
Health Department to honor a letter of availability.--Mr. Andreoli spent some time
with the Board discussing the recent DEC meeting with local towns concerning the
Landfill Law. Mr. Andreoli would like to see the law modified so the DEC has the
ability to look at the whole picture of the methods of solid waste disposal.
10:00 A.M. - Garrett Strand, Architect, met with the Board to review the bids for
the alterations to the Southold Town Police Headquarters. The Board agreed that
the gable design elements on the east roof and west roof of the building, thereby
deleting $8,000 from the cost of the project. This matter will be discussed further
at the December 27th meeting when it is decided how the project will be funded.
10:40 A.M. -Andrew Ciupryk and Mary H. Petrauskas met with th(~ Board to
request a trailer permit for Ms. Petrauskas trailer on 390 Hill Street, Mattituck.
Code Enforcement Officer Wieczorek, also present, advised that although the trailer
is on a foundation and has a cellar, it does not meet the Code as far as square
footage is concerned. Ms. Petrauskas has lived in the trailer since 1970. The
Board agreed to issue a six month trailer permit (see resolution no. 33), and in the
mean time review the house trailer permit guidelines.

approval prior to the change and a building perm'it, and started construction. Last

SUPER~/ISOR MURPHY: After that pleasant interlude, we'll go on to the first
item o~the agenda, reports. These are all on file in the Town Clerk's Office.
ti Building Inspector's Monthly Report for November, 1989.
· Town Dog Shelter Monthly Report for November, 1989.
Recreation Department Monthly Report for November, 1989.
Community Development Agency Monthly Report for November, 1989.
Town Clerk's Monthly Report for November, 1989.
G.C.G. Risk Management Monthly Report for November, 1989.
Town Justice Tedeschi Monthly Report for November, 1989.
Town Trustees Monthly Report for November, 1989.
Town Police Department Monthy Report for November, 1989.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At this time, I'd like to ask the Councilmen, if they
have ahything special to report, starting on my right with Councilwoman Oliva.
COUNC~ILWOMANJ OLIVA:'. On November 30, we all met, the Town Board, we
met witch, the carters, our local carters, and George Mathis, from Southampton,
concer~nng our recycling program. It was a good meeting, and we made some
progre~;s in recycling. On November 30, we had our first meeting of the Solid
Waste 'ask Force. That was just kind of an~introduction in what we were going
to do. Again, on December 4, we had another Solid Waste Task Force committee.
We wa~ted to come up with a time schedule, and also, a time schedule with
recycli~g and how to go about it. On December 4, we had a Housing Committee
meetinc, which the Chairman will report on.~.
to Sou~hampton, and met with representative, On December 5, we went over
from Riverhead, Southampton,
and ta ~ed about a regional approach to our garbage problem, and the result
of that~ really was to go back and talk to our perspective Boards, to see if
they would all go along with a regional approach and then investigate it. On
December 6, again we had another Solid Waste Task Force Committee meeting.
Bob Arper was here, and he is the E2RA consultant for recycling on the East
End, a~dn he certainly gave us a lot of valuable information. On December 11,
I went ',to Hauppauge to'~he Special Groundwater Protection Area AdvisorY Committee
meetingI. We had a presentation from the Central Suffolk Special Groundwater
DECEMBER 12, 1989
Protection Area. That covers quite a bit of territory from'Brookhaven to
Southampton, even out here to Laurel Lake, and the Department of Health Services
gave the presentation, and then the most interesting part, really I thought,
was presentation by representatives of Brookhaven Lab, about what problems
they've had there, and the contaminants that are in their wells, and in their
landfills, and how they are going about cleaning it up. We, also, had a presenta-
tion from people from the Westhampton Airport. They do have some spills there,
and how they are progressing in cleaning their mess up. They've taken a little
bit more time. Then again, December 11, we had another Solid Waste Task Force
Committee meeting, and George Penny will report on his progress, but he came
up with a time schedule, and the sub-committee on recycling, we came up with
ideas for an educational program, so that everybody in Town will understand
iust what we're going to do. I thir, k that's it, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes. Not to repeat, although ] attended many of the
meetings, that Ruth attended, starting with the one which I called on, the 30th
with George Mathis and our 16cal carters, John Devillo, Bobby Pfleuger, and
Roy Schelin at the Highway Department. We talked about initiating recyclinc~
for the self-carters, or the self-haulers, the people that bring their own garbage
to the landfill. We're hoping, and it's part of our pending schedule now, to
have facilities available for these.people the first week in January. So, this
was the first meeting, that we had with these carters in a long time, and we're
really going to be able to derive a great benefit as a town from dealing with
a few number of carters, and in a small town. It's amazing what they have
to pay in other towns to accomplish what we're going to §et here, just for basic
cooperation, and the feeling from the carters, that they are working, and this
is their town. They are familar with recycling. They probably know more about
recycling, than anybody on the muncipal level, and they're prepared for it.
We're going to get a great benefit from working very closely with them, and
it's going to be a major cost savings to the town in a long run. On the 30th,
again, the Task Force meeting, again, on the 4th, another Task Force meeting.
On the 5th, a meeting with George Stravropoulos over in Southampton, that George
Stravropoulos called with the East End Supervisors, and other representatives
of government. The result of that is Resolution #45, which calls for a regional __
approach, and the reason that George Stravropoulos asked for the towns to
send back a consensus to him, was that they want to start as soon as possible,
and not wait until the first of the year, but get a consensus from the towns
now, because the concensus, that was given at the meeting, is that the towns
want to commence to work together, and this resolution, although it's not binding
in any monetary effect, it's more or less a resolution of intent of the Town Board
to work together cooperatively after January 1st, and that the Town can start
looking, and the East End towns can start Iookinq for a consultant to prepare
a regional RFP. So the idea is, why wait until J~nuary 1st? If the towns send
this me. ssage over, maybe we'll get a couple of weeks jump on it. Aqain, on
the 6th, the Task Force meeting, I presented a plan on recycling, a~d the main
goal of the recyclin§ is to accommodate the self-haulers at the landfill the first
week in January. Hopefully by the first of March to go into a voluntary pickup
program. This is a goal that's been set by the Ioca carters, and we're going
to do everything possible to meet that goal, and then again, on the first week
of May, to start with mandatory recycling. We have a lot of catching up to
do, and we're going to try to do this in about half the time, that it's been
recommended to us. On the 11th, I attended a meeting that Joe Sawicki called.
Harold Berger of the East End Supervisors, and other Town representatives,
John Behan was there. Ken LaValle was there. I believe that someone from
Senator Trunzo's office was there. Fred Theile, Mike Catcheola, and anybody
I happened to have forgotten has my apoligy. It was very good. I got a
consensus, although a lot of people made statements, and this wasn't the forum
that was exl~ected, but people probably have a lot of frustration built up over
the years, and they had to vent it with the DEC, and with their local representa-
tives from Albany there at the same time. I think the consensus was, and I
took notes on what most of the East End Supervisors and Supervisor-Elect had
to say, it seemed with one possible acception, that it looks as if the regional
approach is going to be the towns are going to be leaning towards. It was
endorsed by most of the Supervisors and Supervisors-Elect there, and it was
very encouraging. Whether or not, any laws are going to be changed, or any-
thing will come out of it on a legislative level, is something that remains to be
seen, but we're not counting on that. We're counting on meeting the law and
if Harold Berger follows through ~¥ith the impression, that he gave us that day,
he's going to read, and he hopes in the very near future for five or six days,
and directly in a row with the East End Supervisors, and their representatives,
that this goal is attainable by the deadline, and I just hope that the enthusiasm,
that Harold expressed at that meeting follows through, and 12/11, that was the
Task Force meeting, again. That's it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jean?
i~)ECEMBER 12, 1989
203:
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Wel/?~it~g§~re Winding down for Jean. i've
been trying to meet with my different committees, just a clean-up function.
As Ruth mentioned earlier, we did have a meeting of the Housing Committee.
We were looking at things that might possibly benefit affordable housing, i've
been cleaning files, trying to put things in order. When I came into this position,
I wasn't handed any committee files, and I think it's a waste of people's time,
if they don't, at least, have a foundation to start with, because you can spend
man,/ times going through the same process, that, perhaps, a prior committee
did. So, I think it's better way of work. On the 30th of November, I, also,
attended the carters' meeting, up in Superintendent Jacobs office. Aside from
that, it's been reasonable quiet. [ do, have something to share with you later,
at the end of the meeting, several nice things that have happened to some of
the member of the Cochran family, so at this point, Frank, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Good. Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Thank you, Frank. I, also, attended the meeting
with various carters, and representatives from other East End towns, at the
Highway Department on the 30th. Also, I attended the Solid Waste Management
Committee on the 6th, and the meeting at the Suffolk County Legislature on
the 11th, which was yesterday. Regarding Resolution #45, a resolution for
the Town Board's supporting a regional approach, at this point I must say that
I certainly support a regional approach in terms of recycling. I think the East
End should pool their resources in a joint market to dispose of recycables. However,
I'm not going to be able to support the resolution for a regional approach, because
I do not believe honestly, that it will meet the mandate. In a year's time, we
were talking about at the meeting, possible setting up an incinerator at one
site, composting facility at anOth-~r site, and a recycling facility at a third site.
I'm going to use the Town of Huntington as an example for my own personal
observation, while I don't neccessarily feel that bigger will be cheaper. The
Town of Huntington has a population of approximately 210,000 people, given
the year round population of Southold at 20,000. That would be 1/10th. They
are building a incinerator at the cost of $169,000,000.00, so 1/10th of the cost
of that for a comparable plant in the Town of Southold would be 16.9 million
dollars. So although the dollars and cents figures are very vague at this point,
and various towns have, I can see just from my observations at the meeting,
has different ideas on how we should approach the solid waste problem. Also,
I think that a landfill in your own town is very important. I think if there
is no site within Southold Town, that the people will really be having to cart
their garbage, it will be taken out of town to another site. There are many,
many things that,even though you're going to go out to a RFP, there will have
to be discussions on site, and really honestly feel that the mandate won't.be
met. I hope that it will be, and I wish those who are in favor of a regional
approach the best of luck in meeting the mandate, but conscientiously, I don't
feel that I could support that portion of the resolution at this time. Thank
you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. Raymond?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes. Number one, I attended most of these meetings with
Southampton, and with the DEC, and the meeting that was held on Monday,
with the DEC and the various State and County representatives, was very much
on the positive side. I can see that the DEC is leaning towards incineration..
they favor incineration, we'll put it that way. One of the towns, that was present,
did say that, yes, they would put it in their backyard. I think that if we go
with this multi-town approach, when we can show the DEC that we're doing
this in earnest, I think, that they will bend a little. They were for us. They
were put on the spot at this meeting, Monday, by more than one person, and
I think they've gotten the word. Of course, their hands are tied, but I still
think that they will bend a bit. I think this multi-town approach, it's always
been looked at favorable 'bY the DEC. Continuing on with garbage, let's take
it from a local viewpoint, and when I say local, I'm talking about the Fishers
Island shores. Back in August, at a Town Board meeting on Fishers Island,
the Supervisor and the Town Board said that the Town has an obligation to
build a transfer station for Fishers Island, and that was realizing that they're
taking as much garbage off Fishers Island, and going to bus it to Southold.
The Fishers Island Garbage District, which is district paid for by the taxpayers
only on Fishers Island, went out to an engineering firm, came up with a price
of about $750,000.00 for a transfer station, had the engineering done and every-
thing, and then Fishers Island Garbage District was told by the Town, that
the Town could not put any Whole Town funds into a garbage district. So we
got shut out, again. So now the garbage district is in a quandary. That don't
know which way they're going. It kind of looks like they might dissolve the
district on Fishers Island, and let the Town of Southold take care of the whole
problem over there, minus, of course, our every day pickup, or every other
day pickup, that we have, which will be dissolved, and then the Customers
on Island will have to pay carters, as you do over here in Southold. Secondly,
04¸
DECEM~3ER 12, 1989
another thing that happened just recen;dy, is back about a month ago, in fact
before Thanksgiving, the Town Board flew over to Fishers Island, to have a
public hearing to~designate Fishers Island as a critical environmental area, the
whole is]and. There were 50, 75 people there that listened An earnest, and
got various pieces of information, that were contradicting, on what would happen
if the Island was critical environmental area, CEA. There's a petition that has
been signed by over 50 people, some of whom are members of the Fishers Island
Conservancy, and also members of the Fishers Island Civic Association, who
wanted to hold up this CEA designation for further information, and little did
we know on Fishers Island, it was known by some people here in Town Hall,
that the County had already designated the Island as a critical environmen~a'l'
area, and this hearing over there, was done in vain. So now, we on Fishers
Island are going to have to go, and form a new petition and go back to the
County, and get this designation lifted. It was done by three or four people
from the Island, underhanded through the County, without the people on Fishers
Island really having an opportunity to speak against it. This was done back
in September, I believe. Some of the paper work, that was sent to the Town,
was never distributed to the Town Board, and to the people on Fishers Island.
With that, thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Raymond. I'd like to just correct you
a little bit. It was myself, who made that statement at the annual meeting.
It was not the Town Board, and I stated my personal opinion, that I think the
Town has an obligation to build a transfer station there. This was not a Town
Board feeling, even-though it might have been the Town Board's feelings. And
talk of frustration, at the meeting on Monday, there's been nothing more frustrating
in the last six years, than dealing with our State Legislators in trying to assist
th~ Towns,in having the State assist the Towns in helping us solve the solid
waste problem. Much blame is put on the DEC. The DEC is the regulatory
agency, that enforces the laws and regulations, that are passed by the State
Legislator. The State Legislator would not listen, and only now, I think because
they're scared, and an election is coming next year, that they are starting to
listen, and they have put us in a very serious place. To give you an example,
I am the Chairman of the East End Supervisors Association. We represent about
a little over 100,000 people, the five east end towns. We asked Senator Marino
to come to a meeting. After the session was over, this June, I must have written
five letters, maybe .twenty phone calls to his office, and never once have I had
even theccurtesy of a return phone call, to come and listen to the East End
Towns, and the villages, and the towns on the East End. I think it's disgraceft'
the way the State legislators have abandoned the towns, pass legislation, and
have .no idea what effect it's going to have on the people. With that, I'll say
no more.

This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 39c is to adopt a policy statement, with respect
to the Employee Assistance Program The reason we're no~[ reading
it, is it's quite lengthy. ' This will [~e available for anybody, wno would like to
read it after the meeting, or during the week.
39.-Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
(c) RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby adopts the
following~POLICY STATEMENT with respect to the Southold Town Employee
Assistance Program:
The Town of Southold, New_York, (hereinafter referred to as the Town),
recognizes that alcoholsim and drug abuse, and other personal problems may
impact directly, or indirectly in an employee's poor job performance.
The Town recognizes, that successful early intervention, resulting in the
employee's participation in a treatment plan can greatly improve the condition
of the employee, and result in similar improvements in job performance.
To this end, the Town is mandating the establishment of any Employee
Assistance Program:(EAP) of which employees may avail themselves in the event
of encountering substance abuse, or other job-impairing personal problems.
Employees encountering substance abuse, or addiction, or other iob-impairing
personal problems, will enjoy the same employee benefits as employees suffering
from ot~ner medical illnesses.
The Town supervisory staff will not diagnose, or attempt to treat employee
problems. Rather, they will make referrals to Lighthouse Counseling Center
on the basis of impaired job performance.
It is Town policy to initiate non-disciplinary proceedings through which
emplo)ees will be offered rehabilitation assistance appropriate to the problems
encountered. To this end, management and unions will share the responsibility
of referring employees to the Employee Assistance Program.
The employee is responsible for complying with the recommendation to
seek assistance from the Employee Assistance Program, when evidence of job
impairment is apparent.
It is the employee's resonsibility to seek assistance for any illness, suspected
or real. Employees, who refuse help or demonstrate little or no effort to perform
satisfactorily are subject to normal disciplinary action, if impaired job performance
continues.
Town, State and Federal laws will continue to govern the confidentiality
and privacy of employee records with the Employee Assistance Program, and
related information will not be made part of any employee personnel or medical
record.
Employee Assistance Program records will not be used in disciplinary,
or arbitration proceedings without the employee's signed consent.
Employees' promotional opportunities, or iob rights will not be jeopardized
by a request for help, and subsequent participation in Employee Assistance
Program and/or treatment.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I will give a word of explanation. In addition
to my position on the Town Board, t serve as the Chairman of the Substance
Abuse Committee. As some of you may know, the Substance Abuse Committee
for Southold Town was under the auspices of CAST over the past five or six
years. Recently the Town Board, after much discussion with Mrs. Swann,
and members of the Committee, and the Town Board, it was felt that the base
of the Substance Abuse Committee in Southold Town was not broad enough.
It was seen, under the auspices of CAST, as perhaps a service, that was only --
being used, or perseived to be, by blacks and low income, and as many of
us know, the drug problem does not effect just this area of people. It effects
all stations of life, all levels of income, all ages, so thanks to a very supportive
Town Board, the Substance Abuse Committee,now functions under the auspices
of the Town Board. We're seen some great things happening immediately. We've
had offers of funds, from non-profit organizations within the community. The
Town Board has been very supportive, of looking forward to putting the DARE
Program into place. I'm sure many of you are familar with the Dare Program.
It's an educational program, that was developed in LosAngeles between your
law enforcement, and your educational system. There are ninety other municipalities
throughout Suffolk County, that have already accepted putting the DARE Program
into their's. This was reviewed by the Committee and the Town Board, and
also, your school administrators, and I think it's one of the finest substance
abuse programs, that's going to be, that the Town of Southold has ever supported.
The EPA Program is employer, employee assistance program. The Committee,
also, felt, we had the opportunity to apply for a grant, the three towns of
Southampton, Easthampton and Southold to the State, for funding for an employee
assistance program. This is a program, that is put in place to benefit the
employees, if they are abusing substance of any kind. Now,it does not only
benefit the employee, it also, benefits the employer to a very large extent.
When the grant came in, the Committee had been also, investigating the feasibility
of using the Lighthouse services, located on Main Street in Riverhead. Riverhead
Town uses I'ighthouse. The grant was a diminishing grant, where after three
years the cost was, I think, $30,000.00 a year, or that approximate and working __
down. The Town would have after three years, certainly had to pick up that
expense, we felt that Lighthouse offered much the same services. 'Through
the grant, the service would come from a firm in Smithtown. We felt that Light-
house offered the very same services for an administrative charge of, what
I just shared with you, of $2.400.00 a year. So you know what your cos~
is. There may be a slight increase each year, but you know pretty much what
your cost is, because also, medical will cover...the cost to the client is covered
by their medical benefits. So this is an administrative cost. l'n~ very pleased
that the Town Board is supportin~ this, because it's certainly is another vehicle
in place. The Committee is hoping that the To~¥n serves as a role model, so
that the Committee can then go and encourage your other larger businesses
within the community to educate them, and show them the services of Lighthouse,
which would be to them, also, a nominal charge. Your small businessman,
we also, concern ourselves with him, and we feel that there is no program
in the ~zorld, that's going to cover, not just Town employees or banks. We
DECEMBER 12, 1989
215
investigated all of that. If there was any kind of a program, that could funnel
through the Town and benefit little businesses, it would be just astronomical
in cost. So the Committee feels very strongly, that they would like to educate
your smaller businesses to the fact that this service is available. So the
Committee is working very hard. Things are happening faster, than I even
surmised. Again, I congratulate the Board on supporting the Dare Program,
and also, Supporting the Employee Assistance Program. I thank you, ladies
and gentlemen.

COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Before the vote, I would just like to make a comment.
Everyone is aware of my position, and where I stood on the composting issue
prfor to the referendum, that was the law. I still have very strong feelings
on so~ving your own problems, and controlling your own destiny, but I certainly
support the work of the committee, and I think that they should have every
opportunity, and be given every piece of cooperation, that this Town Board can,
until Janaury 1st, so I certainly will support this resolution.

'nto a regional approach with the recycling, and I think my feelings is as I

we.really should~be going alone on solving our own problem. I hope it works.
I don't think we have enough time, but I hope it does, and I will not impede
any progress on it, and will give what ever support I can.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: My comment, also, Frank, that I think we should go on
our own way on Fishers Island, but the people on the island think that they
want to ship it over here to Southold, but under the circumstances, I think

JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: No, thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes. I'd iust like to say that, since the next
Board meeting is my last meeting, my report may be a little more lengthy than
normal, because I intend to give an exit report. I will try to keep it as brief
as possible. That's the bad news. The good news, 1 just want to share with
you is that, I have one happy little grandson, John Paul Cochran, because he
is now the proud part-owner of a whale. There's an environmental group, up
off the coast in Bar Harbor, that this is one way that they get children involved
in the environment, and his whale's name is Colt, and he has a picture of the
tail, which is the indentifying mark, and he's just as happy as anything, and
he wants a second investment in a whale. So he's quite proud of himself. The
other good thing, that I was quite pleased with, I have two daughter-in-laws,
Helen and Joan, and they be'came involved with Okeanos last year, and went
to Stony 13rook for the training, and walking the beaches in this freezing cold
weather, you know what it's been for the past month, and of course, they walk
the Sound up here. Their location goes from Kenny's to Goldsmith Inlet, and
they're looking for the Camp's Riddler Turtle, which is very rare. There are
only 300 mating pairs in the world, which are down in Mexico, and because the
people like to steal the eggs, these turtles are guarded with guns, to try to
protect. Well, they. come down our Sound in the wintertime, when it's very cold,
and Joanie and Helen were walking one day, and they did find a turtle about
this size. It was pretty well frozen. Of course, the people come from Okeanos
in almost 15 minutes. They come right out of the air, and that poor little fellow
did pass on. But two days later, they came 'across a second turtle, this big,
and he seemed to be a little bit more alive from the first. He's now swimming
around in a tank over on the South Side, and of course, they're goin~ over to
visit their turtle in this tank. So it's been exciting. They're so pleased, you'd
think they were parents to this little turtle. 13ut those are some of the fun
things, that are happening.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: 1'11 just say, that I'm happy to see the resolution
endorsing the regional approach passed, and I appreciate the support of the
members of the Town 13oard, that did that. It will aid us, in getting a jump
on 1990, and we will be pressing this on with the other East End towns.
Hopefully,like resolutions are being passed, at this time, by the other towns,
that are going to be involved. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN-OLIVA: I'd just like to wish everybody a very Merry, and
Joyous, and Healthful, and Happy Merry Christmas.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes. I would like, and I think, everyone on the Town
Board extends the same to everyone in the Town, the very best for the Holiday
Season, and hope that everyone has a healthy and prosperous New Year~. Now,
at this time, I'd like to ask anyone in the audience, if they would like to address
the Town Board. Ronnie?
RONNIE WACKER: I just wanted to bring to your attention an article, that was
in the Traveler, two weeks ago, the problems of traffic, that are going to be
in the town, in the next ten or twelve years. It was an interview with Valerie
Scopaz, and she was warning of the traffic gridlock, that we can expect in a
couple of real hot spots in town. She mentioned one between Mattituck and
Riverhead. I think, she said there was something like 347 houses, or units,
apparently 347 single family lots, either approved for subdivisions, or pending
before the Planning Board, in that area, which encompasses about 840 acres.
Another hot spot, between Bridge Lane and the west side of Alvah's Lane in
Cutchogue, about 300 acres slated for subdivision. These would yield 110 single
family lots, and 160 condominium units. From the east side of Mattituck Inlet,
there is another area, to Alvah's Lane, is the third largest growth area, where
190 acres have been approved for subdivision, or awaiting approval, that would
yield 84 building lots. Now, these are not all going to approved, at once,
naturally, but they'll be instrumental and we're not going to notice them that
much, but within ten or twelve years, we are going to have real heavy traffic
problems. I remember a few years ago, I was down at Route 110, and I went
into a shopping center there. I had to go to the dentist. I came out..I didn't
come out directly. There was a traffic light. I was waiting to get on to Route
110, and I looked around at this traffic, and it was coming from every which
way, and lights here, and lights there, and I thought, thank God, I don't live
here. .Then two weeks ago, I was coming out of King Kullen. There's no traffic
light there, but the traffic was so heavy, east and west, and I was trying to
get out of the King Kullen supermarket, and I thought, gee, it wasn't that long
ago, that I was thinking, thank God, I don't live here, and now maybe, it looks
as though I am getting to live here after all. I think...well, Valerie in this
interview said, that she think~ that thereoughtto be a traffic study,and in the
N.F.E.C.'s criticisms,the zoning ordinances, one of the points made was,that
there has been no good traffic studies done. There has been no traffic study
done. I would like to ask the Board to consider a traffic study. I think, it
is about time, because we're going to be caught up in this, and we're going to
be the center of gridlock, and I don't know what we're going to do about it.
There was one other thing, I wanted to ask about, too, and that is, would it
be possible to have a copy of the environmental impact statement, that I needed
by whatever the lead agency is, Town Board, Planning Board, available to the
public. It's awfully difficult to stand at the Planning Board door.., they have
a little dutch door, with this laid open, although the Planning Board people are
very nice, and say, take it, go down the hall and sit on the sofa, but when
you've got something that thick, you really do need an easy chair, and a cup
of coffee.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Are you advocating that we throw in the chair and
coffee?
RONNIE WACKER: Would it be possible to have one available for the public?
I asked Benny Orlowski about this, just yesterday. He said he would ask Jay,
about whether it could be done. I think in other town's, .they do have one
available to the public.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: In other Towns, they have it available to
the public, and they, also, have a regular area for people to go in, when they
review a document, etc. That's basically, what other towns have.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We lust don't have the space.
RONNIE WACKER: We could take it home.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: It would get lost. We'd give it to you, and
then someone else would walk in, ~'ou would have it, we'd be trying to figue
out who has it.
RONNIE WACKER: I think in Riverhead, they do. In Riverhead, they're back
in the medieval ages in other respects, but in this area, they do. The,,., send
out agendas to people, that want them,and they allow the statements to be taken
out.
DECEMBER.12, 1989

TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: And they come back again, all in one piece?
RONNIE WACKER: They've been doing it for awhile, and they would have
abandoned it, if they didn't come back. Even if they could be put in the library,
you know. Maybe, in the library, they could be taken out, then the library
would be responsible, and not the Town. I can understand that you have a
problem. People might tear out pages.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: That's my problem. I'll talk to Benny. I'll
discuss it with Bob Moore in Riverhead, and we'll see what we've got.
RONNIE WACKER: It would certainly facilitate matters, because you have a
comment period of two weeks, a month, or whatever, but it's so difficult to spend
an entire afternoon. There's nothing else you can do. You can't answer the tele-
phone. You can't go down for a cup of coffee, or whatever. It's tough.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll see what we can do.
RONNIE WACKER: Okay. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? Scott?
SCOTT HARRIS: I'd like to thank the Board for passing resolution number 45,
tonight. It certainly will assist us in the twelve months coming up, to help meet
the deadline of 1990, December 18th. The cooperation the Board has given in
the last month, is one that should be commended. The public certainly should
recognize, that this is a problem for all of us, and not just for individuals,
whether they're still on the Board, or new people, that will be going on next
year, and in the spirit of comradery, I'd like to thank the Board for that, and
also, I'd like to wish the Board a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, if I
don't see you before that time, but certainly, a very Merry Christmas.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Anyone else, like to address the Town
Board? Mr. Pell?
WILLIAM PELL: Thank you very much, Frank. I'd like to say, Peggy Coulter
left, but 1 can remember the first day she started to work here, and I went and
saw her, and said, Peggy, you're going to enjoy it. She said,' I hope so. Tonight,
when you presented with the proclamation, I felt good. I know she worked good,
when I was here, and she worked hard when you were here. She was an asset.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: She's not leaving.
WILLIAM PELL: I'd like ask, what bill wasn't paid tonight. You paid all your
bills, but one? You withheld one?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: ~3ilI, a requisition for a partial payment for Loduca,
the contractor, who's putting the buildin9 in, back here.
WILLIAM PELL: Thank you. Frank, you're not alone in your frustration with
DEC. Supervisor Janoski is quoted in the press, last week, as saying basically
the same thing, says the State passes a law, then they go out , and don't
help you solve your problem. These elected local officials , so the two
c~f you are in the same boat, as well as your Board members. I'd like to ask some-
thing, I asked two weeks ago, on the 28th, is there anything new on the B.P.
Wreckers, that they wePe issued a summons in April, 1985~ I asked the Town
Building Department, if they have found the file on this, yet. They say, it was
there two months ago. The file has not been found in the last two weeks, since
I spoke to them. Have y, ou found out anything? Are we prosecuting, or where
do we stand? We're not in court, I know.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay, can you bring us up to date, on this?
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: No. I have no violations, that I'm prosecuting
on it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It wasn't you. I think Frank Yakaboski had something.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: I can't help you, then.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It's almost impossible to get a phone call through to him.
WILLIAM PELL: It's been four years, and eight months, and still nothing is done.
2 2 0 DECEMBER 12, ,98,
Another case, similar, Zara case, and the swimming pool. The due process was
started in May, 1988. Due process came to an end, October 13,_~1989. One year
five months. Same attorney, Jakoboski. My question to the Town Board is, how
come one case can sit, and get what I consider special treatment, the other case '
gets the due process with the same attorneys?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The second one was taken away from Yakaboski, and
it was handled by our Town Attorney, Bill.
WILLIAM PELL: I'll drop it, then.
TOWN ATTORFEYSCHONDEBARE:
] was there, he was there, and we were there.
WILLIAM PELL: According to the Justice Court records, they have it under Yakaboski.
Anyway, I was just wondering why one case moved, and one didn't.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: Well, that's why, I think.
WILLIAM PELL: Another thing, I'd like to just mention, that nothing can be done
about it, but it sort of upset me a little bit, two weeks ago. H2M, resolution
#4, on the 28th, be approved $2,576.00, to install a Federal APD Barrier Gate. No.
37, we paid $3,500.00 and $2,500 for inspections. Why wasn't this included? Is
this an add on? Why wasn't it included in the intial? Why didn't they anticipate
that this was going to be needed?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Because, when it went out to bid, there was nothing
in the bid, because of dollars for the gatehouse, or the house for the scale operators
to work in, and became obvious during the construction, and as it started to come
on to line, that it is impossible to work the two in and out scales from that one
small gatehouse. It'was just physically impossible, and they were added on, and
then seeing the traffic, and trying to control it, when we were going two directions
on to the one scale, it was a little bit easier. The guy could wave someone on,
but now we had to put up gates, because we had to control the traffic.
WILLIAM PELL: Well, couldn't this be,by your engineer firm, your consulting
firm, anticipated these problems, so you wouldn't have to have these extras.
Everytime there was an extra, when I sat up there, it was more money. There
was a money problem to start with, where did the money come 'n the second time:
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Because the bids came in Iow enough, so there was money
in the bond to pay for that.
WILLIAM PELL: You couldn't out the bid the first time, as an alternate?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Could have gone that route, but it wasn't done.
WILLIAM PELL: I would just like to wish you all, Happy Holidays, and I apoligize
for not digging 'n a ittle bit further into the minutes to find out, that it was
going back to our Town Attorney for the expendient service.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like
If not, have a nice Holiday, and a motion
coming out.
