COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: On February 26th we had our Water Advisory
meeting], .which Frank Bear did'a very good job of reviewing, but just to get
the audience to' l~ow' ~G~'-w~F~16i'ng~ i~--~;~.Fe '~t~ii~g' maps-f~' ~l~e 'Planning
Commission of the County. These are coming now and there was a litt'le mix-up
in them, but now we have it cleared up. We have our goals and objectives pretty
well squared away, and we're working on bringing our report to the Town Board
in April. They also sent a letter, or made a resolution to send a letter to the
County and the State askinq that they use as little salt as possible on our roads.
We're fearful that this salt ~vill contaminate our water supply, which I thought was
a very good idea. Since that time we also have met with--the Water Advisory
Committee has met with the Greenport Utilities, and here we're trying--that is
the Water Advisory Committee and the Greenport Utilities, which is :the Greenport
water supply, are trying to become more familiar with each other's roles and their
objectives and goals so that they can be worked into this 'final report which we're
all^,~..:waiting .... for. The next meeting, by the way, is on March 16th--of the Water
~,.s~¥ Committee. On February 28th i met with the Southold Green Committee,
and that's the group that are working on the layi. ng out of the green opposite the
bank up here, that George Wells gave, and now we have a preliminary lay-out.
That's all be done, sketched out, and we're waiting to get all our people together.
We had too many of them on vacations t9 follow through on it,: but that's already
been set up and at our next meeting we'll start working on that as far as getting
things moving. Also a member Of the Code Committee, and we're going to leave
that for Jay to review. On the 4th I was out on Farmland Preservation applications,
trying to get some people to follow through on things they said they would do. And
on, as i say, 'last night we were at the Utilities in Greenport. That's about it,' Frank.

been very busy_, and I would just Ilke to add a couple more. One, ! did .travel
~to Albany with the lobbyin~ with our County Executive Michael LoGrande, and also,
as Jean mentioned, the Housin~t Summit,: a,nd I would just like to comment how good
il is to be working with the County Executive who is a ex-supervisor. And it
certainly is :diffe~rent. It a certainly different aspect on town problems. The
County Executive certainly realiz&s the many town problems on all of the things
that we discuss here each meeting that we have, and it 'really is 'very good. 1
think we're going to see a tremendous difference in' town and county government
cooperation this year, and it's only fop the better for all the people in the county
and this town.

the aspects of it.~ One Of the proposed changes--! don't think it will' go through--
is 'the enclosing of pools. That access from a house into an area where a pool is

officially. I know we brought this ~up at the East End Supervis0r's meeting and many
towns are making comments on it.~ The fencing proposed is maximum of 15 ft. from
the po~:-wili~ be enclosed by fencing. So it will' throw all of these old 'regulations
that we have--we have very stringent regulations and we wore one of the first towns.
Our local ordinance was much more stringent than the State Code and I know like the
Town of Southampton, just catching up to us on making sure all pools are fenced in.
But now the State is 'considering other dhanges, so we're making some~ comments that
we think are important too. So if'anyone--this will be held in' Hauppauge on March

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'll reopen the regul'~r Town Board meeting and at this
point in time, being that we've gone through all of our resolutions, I woul~J like
to ask any Town Board member wouldyou have any other comments?. Jay.? (No,
thank you.) Paul? (Nothing.) Jean? (Thank You, no.) Ray? (Nothincl, thanks,
Frank.) Okay, at this time anyone in the audience would like to address the Town
Board ?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Who is that distinguished looking man back there?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: There's an old gray-haired man in the back.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: We heard you were chasing vehicl'es full of brush there?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Our former Supervisor, Mr. Will,am Pell. Welcome.
WILLIAM R. PELL i11: Thank you, Frank, . Town Board, Town Clerk, Counsel.
Something got me upset many years ago and .it 'still:does. Our Landfill. Yesterday ~i!~
I was coming home from Hampton Bays and on Route 105, Riverhead By-Pass I call
it,: and i came behind a pick-up truck loaded with house timber, plaster beard. I
wanted to pass itl but it :was about 4:00 o'clock and a lot of traffic on the road.
It was going down the road very slow, but it ~'was heavy. It was a regulal~ pick-up
truck, sides built~ up, tiecl down across the top. We come up to the light on the
Main Road, i said~ "1 wonder where he's going now?"; So I got curious and I followed
him, through Riverhead Township; down to the SouthOId Town line, followed him right
down to our l~-~ndfill; I passed him just before he went into the Landfill. i pulled'
into the Landfill and told the man at the gate and said, "1 followed that trUck from
Southampton 'l~ownship; through Riverhead down to ours. What right does he have
to dump that lumber here?" He said, '!He hasn't." I said, "Good, don't let him.
If you need me I will go to court for you." I left there and called Frank last night
at home. It turned out he dumped it there. Paid his little fee and dump.ed it.'
Landfills are, a problem in all of our State, and especially here on Long Island.
Four years ago when I sat up there we triec~ to create the building, through counsel
have laws to regulate it.' And ! sat where you sit~ Frank, and thought, "Well, by
God we got this under control." Someh0wlwe have to improve on what we had in
the past. It's something that i think--I wish the proper people, the Town Board,
Landfill Committee, Counsel get involved again'in trying to tighten these reins up.
We residents of Southold Town are paying for that up there. Let it be used by
the people of Southold Town, not abused by others. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Mr. Pell, thank you. We're very much aware and unfortunately
it's a very major problem. The Town did generate 50¢ of income for this :large load ~
of out-of-town debris.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Which was the incorrect fee.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: A pick-up truck.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: A pick-up truck, single axle, commercial, is $~5.0Q, and
they charged the wrong fee at 50¢. We had another case today.
MR. PELL: I would just like t.o add one more thing. In Hampton Bays we~had to
pull down a wall and a building, and we have a garbage man that comes and picks
it up. To get rid of one container, twice the size of those tables there, in the
landfill, $174.00 that I'm paying. They can go in'the landfill in our town for 50¢'.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: What landfill?
MARCH 10, 1987
39
MR. PELL: Southampto Town. o~ir garbage man picks it up. He comes and he
takes the regular debris every two days he comes. Well we took a wall out of the
place, to get rid' of the timber $174.00.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Biil~ We're trying to address it and it's a very
hard problem.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I think you should go 'further then that, Frank.
I thi~l~Lyou should tell him~ what we're going to do. We're going to have somebody
up there. We're going to hire someone finally to run that Landfill'. The way it is
now we do not have a head-honcho, so to speak, and I think this 'is 'where many of
our problems are falling apart, because we need somebody we can say-to, "What's
going on here? Why is this':happening? How come you let: it 'happen?" Until We
have that person, and we are acting on that. I think we have a meeting coming
up. Jay is 'Chairman ofit.' As soon as Ray Jacobs is on his-feet we'll be On it.
MR. PELL: Thank you.:
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN:
Plus some training for the guards at the gate.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And for the Landfill'employees. And I might add that
$175.00 container that you're talking about in' Southampton Town, if you were in
the Town of Islip-it 'would probably be $350.'00 for that same container. Any other
comments to the Town Board? Yes, ma'am?
JENNIFER COMBS: I just have a question. The guys in'the booth up there at
the dump, do they get paid?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes. Does Carter have pill~? Nobody works for nothing
anymore. Yes, they're paid'on a $5'.'50 per hour rate, with no benefits. So it's
not a very high paying job. Any other comments?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Are you the new Traffic Warden, Jennifer Combs?
JENNIFER COMBS: Yes.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Oh, I didn't recognize' that. Our Town Clerk, as
usual, picked it up.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Welcome, Jennifer. Do a good job this 'summer. I'm sure
you will; Okay, anyone else like to comment to the Town Board? (No response.)
If not I think a motion to adjourn is'in-order.
Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Councilman Schondebare, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 8:22 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Cochran, Councilman Schondebare,
Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
