The first Ag Bag has been filled with .shredded leaves and brush. They have been testing it for proper temperature and mix and all is going well. A tractor with a PTL is needed to fill the bags and auger the material into the bags; and a mixing wagon is also needed or the material will not cook the right way. The cost of the tractor was estimated at $9,999.00 and the mixing wagon at $8,000.00. They have been checking around for good equipment,, but due to the fact that most of our local farms have turned into vineyards, there is not too much available here. A good source of used equipment is Pennsylvania. Mr. Bunchuck advised that they have found a good 1975 John Deere Tractor Model [~620 which has the power take-eft encapsulator to fill the bags. They plan to do t~5 bags a .year and it takes a haJf a day. to load a bag.

The cost would be approximately $21,000.00 for welding and $5,000.00 to the scale company to monitor the repairs a:~ndI also to check the underside of the outgoing scale.

We have asked the two gentlemen to come In today, so that we can personally thank them for being part of the program. So, if Mr. Pugllese, and Mr. Blum would come forward. We would llke to have you up here with us, as we share this with the public. Would you like to give us some backgrounds, and tell us where the locations are, and how many acres. DICK RYAN: The Pugliese property is located on the west side of Bridge Lane, north of the Main Road· We bought 5.3 acres of property, and Ralph told me today that he has got half of it already Into grapes.

This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Councilman Murphy, Councilman Evans, Councilwoman Hussie, SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know we have a policy that I explained earlier in the.meeting, that if there is any Town business you would like to share with us we would appreciate your comments now. Is there anything anyone would like to address the Town Board, any townwide topic? Frank? FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin, again, from Laurel. When I come up.here, Madame .Supervisor and Board members, I am only talking for myself. I am not speaking for anyone else. It is my opinion. I feel that we should at least be planning upon some day having to take that over. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You are talking Scavenger Waste? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I met two different engineers three different times. We have approximately three and a half years left on the lease. We can't technically be thrown out of there for three and a half years. We are doing a lot of preliminary discussion. Where are we going to put a Scavenger Waste Plant, if we are going to have a Scavenger Waste Plant, stay in Greenport, going to go somewhere else? There are lot of discussions. I got different ideas from a couple of people, nothing concrete yet. I wouldn't even say close. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We have been thinking, and looking at things. FRANK CARLIN: You are not going to wait until the last minute? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: No. We aren't going to do that~ FRANK CARLIN: I have letter on the garbage district. I am going to skip over it, and come back to it. Try to give Ray Jacobs more money in his budget to do more road things in town, take care of road problems in the town, especially on Pacific Street in Mattituck. Certain areas need to be done. We need more street lights on Route 25, especially in the rain and fog. Number five, this is very important to me, focus on a new building, or remodeling the Town Hall. Today, 10ok into it. Number. six, create some better jobs in this town for young people, so that when they graduate from high school and college, they can find a decent paying job, and not have to leave the town to do so.

Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, COUncilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran...No: Councilman Romanelli. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Code. In 1984 we had fifty pages. Now, they have 180 pages. What I would like to see the Board do, 'because I know you get a lot of people coming up here, and challenging the Zoning Code in this town, a lot of times I notice that, I am not for a committee, but what I am for is the committee to do what they are doing, and review the Zoning Code annually, and see what can be changed. There are a lot duplicates in the Zoning Code manual, and see what can be changed and updated. I will get back to one of the items I don't like about the garbage system, If you eliminate the landfill you would save all that overhead. A~yWay, herels only one of the things that I am going, to discuss 'tonight. When you have your garbage picked up in this {own .t cost you abOut $15.00 a. mOnth. I'm going to say $16.00 a month. That is $192.00 a year. You are required to buy yellow bags. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt of buying a medium yellow bag at $1.25. Well, so that comes to $65.00 a year, so that is $257.00 a year. What I am getting h. ere is, why. should'these people.who have to pa~ $192 a year to have their garbage picked up, have to bUY a yellow bag for. To me tha.t is not fair.. That is not fair. The¥"don~t, ~ise the landfill; They have their garbage picked up;Why should th~se people, a medium bag now $1.25, $65.00, have t° pay {or.the Yellow bags? I.'dorl't think that is fair. I don't think so. In fact, I know so. It is not fair.. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Number one, less than 30% of the people in the town have their garbage picked up by a private carter. The' number that you gave us of $192.00 a year, which is to have it picked up every week is perhaps what you pay. FRANK CARLIN: $16.00 a month is $192.00. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: That would be picking every week, right? FRANK CARLIN: Twice a week. They pick up on Tuesday and Friday. They pick up the garbage on Tuesday. They pick up the recyclables on a Friday. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: What my point is, Mr. Carlin, is, not everybody pays that much on garbage pickup. You could have your garbage picked up every other week. You must have a lot of garbage. It depends on what the carter charges you, but my point is that only less than half of the residents have their garbage picked up. .Number two, I am sure that you recall that we had a number of discussions about this, and one of the problems was that based on having a townwide garbage pickup, and putting it on the tax rolls is not actually going to be equitable, because of businesses, etc., that have a lot of garbage. You would be in essence subsidizing a restaurant perhaps. If you recall it was determined that the bag system was the most equitable way to do it, because if you generate a lot of garbage you should pay for it. If you didnlt genera, re a lot of garbage you do not have to pay for it, and the pickup ~s purely a discretionary move. You can have it picked up, or you can just bring it up to the landfill. FRANK CARLIN: Councilwoman Hussie, I understand what you are saying, but you haven't answered my question. Why should these people have to pay for yellow bags, when they are having it picked up? That is not fair. That is not fair in my book. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: i will tell you why. I am sorry I did address that particular point, i will tell you why, because the Town otherwise has no control over the amount that the carter can charge you. I am not going to talk about it here and now, but there have been cases were the garbage has just been in the dumpster, and the carte~ charged X number of dollars for it, and when they actually calculated it out, they were paying more than they would have paid 'had they put it in the yellow bags. FRANK CARLIN: People that have their garbage picked up, don't put it in a dumpster, they put it in the garbage can. Now you are talking about dumpsters. Anything that is' going-in there is not sorted ou~. People that have their garbage picked UP don~t have a dumpster. They use garbage pails. You are not going to convince me that charging people for the yellow bags, or something that is identified as yellow bags, then these people should use yellow tags or something. ,MAY 12, 1998 297 COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Okay, I think I know what to do. Presently the Solid Waste Task Force is looking over the Code. We' are going to have a meeting next week. Will you come? We will be going over a lot of these issues. I1~ is either Wednesday or Thursday next week. I will let you know. Okay? It is generally in the morning at 8:30. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Another part of the yellow bags, that Alice didn't point out, I firmly believe using yellow bags forces you to recycle a little bit more. You donlt cram every can, and bottle, and piece of cardboard into the bag~ because you are paying for the bag, so you are going to make sure what goes in that bag is not a recyclable item. FRANK CARLIN: Only:garbage is supposed to go into the yellow; bags. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLi: Yes, but you know tell people put it in a reg : bag doesn't cost you anything human nature is, they ~ can, and they are going to take the :bottles, and they are not going to recycle. They are just going to shove it all in one bag. FRANK CARLIN: one bag. garbage, there, paying ba( You have to have it sorted out You don't throw it into to .talk about this more, and I ~ill, but .we= got to get this rid of the landfill, so people caln put stuff out You are paying for going over ~the scale, you you paying for the yellow bags. The yellow nimum. CO [~: There is one carter, a carter with a very large ~ houses, and picking up garbage, that has not It is not in the yellow bags, and then you go to sc~mebody~'else, and he picks up a lot of garbage, and then he goes up to the lanCJflll, and he is weighted out, and he says, well, I picked up twenty customers, so therefore each customer has to pay X dollars, and you. wind up:paying for~ the Chap next door who puts out more garbage. SUPERVISOR COCHR~AN: Frank, why don't you come to the next meeting, and express yourself. FRANK CARLIN: These are the things that I feel the Town should focus on before, wor~rying about a $~7,000,000 utility company, a $12,000,000 pool. These ape things you should focus on in this town now. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN:~ Frank, would you give me a copy of your list? FRANK CARLIN: I am going town. I television,: but I rocking in your here long:enough to one home. Someday I am going to come up here I big list on what I think should be done in this ;tens to me in this room, or who listens to me on right now, when I get done I will have you I think should be done in this town.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, I invite you anytime to come to a Town Board Work Session, because things are happening in the town. Thank you, Frank. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response.) If not I will call for Board reports, and I will start on my left with John. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Being away last week I really have no reports. I had a wonderful vacation. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Alice? 2 9 8 MAY12, 1998 COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: As I mentioned the Solid Waste Task Force has been looking over the Code. We have found a few things that are addressed as they should be. Also, I have been spending time with the County in the preparation of petitioning for the refei-endum for the LILCO/LIPA deal. So, that is another thing. One of the more interesting things that I did in the last couple of weeks was meet some people who are quite knowledgeable enough on everything in town, and they did have some interesting questions, and I thought perhaps the general public would like to know some of the things that they were concerned about, and one of' the things was, why there are not traffic Eights, and why the Town does not put up traffic lights where 'traffic lights, they feel, really ought .to be. I thought by now we had the traffic' light situation come to the Board so many times, that ' everybodY knows that if ~it is a, traffic light that has go on Route 25, or Route u,8, it has to go through the State DOT as far as Route, 25, and the:County DOT as farr ,as Route/~8 is .concerned. The Town can not put it, times. The other= thing was Ii' and why dbesn~t the T~wn pick it up~ the own that pick up, and on some of these stretches of road if it is a State~ problem, or who's job is it? One of the things that people have to understand is that although the road, may be pa~ed',f01* that fortY feet, and grid on an average of about ten feet 'on eachi~ Side i~that ~also belongs t0~ either the State or the County, and technicall, have to pick it up,"but Ray Jacobs ~of ':the admini~strator of an Adopt a Road Program, so adopt a section of road, whether it be the or whatever, I know people that .a. re doing this with Mr. Jacobs, and ~then the i~tte~ would be Department as long as it was' known that you 'gcli up. Thane you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: On my right, Brian? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: The Land Preservation Committee, we have gotten quite a number of applications in, again, in the past few weeks. Parcels to look at, and evaluate to see if they fit within the criteria, and if they do we will move forward on looking at purchasing those development rights. That has been quite active lately. Other than that, that is the only thing I have at this point. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Louisa? I have got some things, because at the last BOard meeting we did not call for Board reports, and I would like to go back, and share with you some of the things that have been happening. First I am going to take up the question of litter. It is very, very Sad we advertise, we ask, we got the Student Council of three high schools involved in the school clean-up. We had the Youth from the Baptist Church up on the North Road. We had Southold Shores, a group of seniors, we had just kids of all ages, that came out, and walked both of our two main highways, 25 and u,8. It would have been on April 25th. A great deal of litter was picked up. We had the Suffolk County Department of Public Works pick up their road, and the New York State DOT pick up their road, but I think what disappointed me, and I would like, to thank some of the people that did it on their own highway. I kept us!ng as an example every time I promoted this townwide cleanup, HortonSlLane, so Bill SOlomon and his wife, and Dale Conway went out, and they cle~aned up Hortons Lane. I think they got tired of me. saying Hortons' Lane was terrible as far as litter was concerned. The point I am going ~:o make is that the majority, 99%, of people that came out to clean up were young people, and y(~ung people are not. the only~ people that lit~ter.! Litter caused by all ages. We had very few adults come .and help us cleanup. Now, we cleaned up, as I said, the two major highways, Jalke has a program. The Highway Superintendent encourages adoption. Some of your Girl Scouts troops and so on and so forth adOpt the side roads in the town. We cleaned up on Saturday. It looked, great~ They .. picked up everything on a Monday, because both agencies do not work't~i~'O~Ugh the weekend, and 'the entire Main Road and North Road there was bne spot between Boisseau Avenue, and the C;reenport circle, where the circle used to be, that was not cleaned, we did not have anybody there. All the rest of the highway was done on the Main Road, and the North ROad there was a small spot between along there by Sider~s Farm by the railroad tracks. It looked beautiful Saturday. It looked beautiful Sunday, It looked beautiful Monday. Tuesday there was litter the whole length again. I don't know what you do. I don't know how you encourage people traveling through not to throw their litter out on our highways. They are traveling the two main roads, but the side roads are our own people, and yet there is complaints .. about it, but I don't see the support or the co~operation to help go out there, and do some of the picking up. It was a success, yes, of what we wanted to do, but it was very disheartening that there were not more adult people involved. It would have been an excellent opportunity for some of the adults in the community .to work with young people, and build a bridge. It is unfortunate that it didn't happen, but we did get the cleanup done, and I would like.~to thank the many, many young people that took part in it, and the seniors from SOuthold Shores that did a fantastic job. We would like to do it again, except I would expect a little bit more from the adult community. Okay. That takes care of litter. Also when the school over here, you know we were voting on what scenic view was the best in Southold, and the worse, in addition to other things that were suggested as worse litter, as far as was concerned was one of the worse, because litter no matter what your scenic view is, if litter is there it is a little bit more, We should begin :to work togeth~ of your house, and; pick up ju: the town. I went., to the Pecc It was the first one I had attended. I wa. ition, and I found it very interesting, It: is a. worthwhi, le involvement~ and ~1 look f e opportunity, ~erva on her the New York the worse, Jthold I had our of the at we just in front meeting in that been set many more like to :chogue and ~ire a farmer 'they own is ~eone with What icftu re ~n people 'ican uip this for the :nt of a and a nar, or ,a .~r in can for a: very, !very is many, ma bay and and a ag ~g th, TI th~ I have thank you for P.M.
