The funding, is provided 90% through FAA Airport & Runway Trust Fu~d;
7.5% through N.Y.S. Department of Transportation Bond Act and 2.5%

REPORTS - SUPERVISOR PELL:
1. On Pan Tech, [ am going to make it. It is on the $50,000
library grants to do some work in the two libraries who qualified
for the money. There was a delay, this work was supposed to have
been started by now but because of one library, the Southold one,
the architect drew plans, submitted them to Albany to the Historic
Division of builidngs in our state and they did not approve the door
that they were going to put on the back of the Southold Library, it
was not in architectural design of the builidng. They had to re-
sabmit another d~sign of a door. They hope to be out to bid to do
the job sometime early October. They would hope to construct the
work in early November. This is the $50,000 grant that was given
to the Town in the spring and we had hoped to be doing it during
the summertime but it looks like now construction will starm around
November 1st. I'm getting many calls from the library people, what's
going on with our money.

These reports all are on file in the Town Clerk;s Office. Anybody
can go in and ask to review them.
3. Builidng Inspector's monthly report (August 1980).
4. Town Trustees report (August 1980).
5. Judge Tedeschi's report (August 1980).

8. Highway Department monthly report, Mr. Dean, (August 1980).
9. Supervisor's monthly report on the finances of the Town

10. Landfill Committee- COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: This was a
communication that came across the Town desk talking about a
$26,000,000 project to develop a statewide residual management
program and we endeavored to find out if there were any funds
available maybe for the Town of Southold. It is asking for input
from counties to the State Department of Environmental Conservation
for suggestions on how to handle residual matter which does not
affect the Town of 8oUthold because we have very little industry~
The closest would be Photocircuts which uses a solution with many
chemicals in it in]their processing and that of course is in the
Town of Riverhead. There is nothing in this letter or report that
is applicable to the Town of Southold.
11. Safe Drinking Water Committee - DEPUTY SUPERVISOR JOHNSON:
The Safe Drinking Water Committee in the Legislature met on August
28th and there were two items discussed. One was an interest in
thermal energy storage systems in the Stony Brook aquifer. What
they have in Stony Brook is a double aquifer system and they are
going to use ~t for air conditioning. They are going to be pump%ng
the 53 degree water from the upper aquifer down into the lower one
where it will sit over the winter and freeze or cool down to 40
degrees. During the summer it will be pumped through the buildings
for air conditioning and then back to the lower aquifer for cooling
down again the following summer. It is going z~go over a two year
period and it is in tke feasibility course but it has interesting
pro,peckS for the future. The other thing discussed was-the matter
of possible pollution to ground water from .the washing of trains at
the Babylon station which happily or unhappily isn't a problem of
ours.
12. Monthly report from the Assessors (August 1980).
%3. Bay Constable report from our summer gentlemen by the name
of Bill Januick (August 1980).

nice letter complimenting him on his fine work, which will be on
the agenda for next meeting we have.
15. Report from the North Fork Animal Welfare League (~ugust 1980).
The Councilmen all serve on different committees and they do
their work and sometimes I forget to put them down for reports~
Evidentally today either they are not working or I didn't give them
anything to do.
COUNCILMAN DRUM: Or we can't report.

III. COMMUNICATIONS - SUPERVISOR PELL
1. Meeting that Larry Murdock and muself went to. It is a
letter from H2M about the East End Solid Waste.. Mr. Dean was there
also. Larry, do you want to comment on that or not?
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Well, this letter is just sending copies
of the reports to the Town Board. This is a preliminary report. We
will have one more meeting on September 22nd when they should give us
a final report with recommendations and everybody be prepared to shudde~
on September 22nd. You'll hear all of your respective officials from
each of the Towns in a dead faint when we get the numbers and that will
sound like an earthquake, I think, when we hit the deck.
2. Letter~ from North Fork Env~r6nmental Council offering to pay
the initiation fee of $75.00 for a Board member to go to a workshop,
two day workshop on solid waste in Virginia. We discussed this at
the Board today and we thank them very much for their offer but we
feel that our consulting firm, H2M, who we hire to do this work will
be there and make a report back to us. I will respond to the North
Fork Environmental in that respect. I will make sure that they are
going to be there too.
3. Letter froma resident (Edward P. Bertero) about Mattituck
gasoline tanks.
4. This was signed on September 2nd, I believe, by our County
Exec. We had the pleasure today to have our legislature's aide be
with us, Scott Harris, and he informed us today that what we call
the North Road on the map is called Route 27, will officially be
changed to County Route No. 28. The legislature passed it August
26th. The County Exec. signed it into law September 2nd. We will
have new numbers going up there in the near future.
5. From a gentleman (Frank W. Wagenbrenner) offering to help
the Board on advisory committees with his qualifications on there.
6. Report back from the wells that were tested throughout the
Town. It is a fairly extensive and interesting report that tells
where Temik was found and out of how many wells and what wells. The
Board has asked me, through Mr. Dean, today to contact DEC and ask
them what do they do with the canisters and the filters that have
been put on wells to make the water safe to drink in the home. When
these filters have to be replaced, where to put the old filter.
Do you take it to the landfill and let it go back into the system,
or what do you do with it. I will contact the DEC and ask them what
they propose to do with it. We already have written to County Health,
Dr. Harris asking the. same thing from the County Helath. We wrote to
them two or three weeks ago but we will see if DEC is going to let us
put them in the disposal area up there.
Today the TOwn Board interviewed three consultant firms to do
a study for the Southold town project to see if it would be feasible,
ecomonic&l to have a Southold Town Airport established . One of the
reasons we were late, we listened to all three firms today. We just
got done with the last gentleman who was there. The Board has no~
had time to discuss it among ourselves. We had hoped to discuss it
and be able to select a firm today but where we ran so late we did
not have time. We will not be selecting a firm today. We are going
to put i~ off until September 23rd meeting. That is where we stand
on that. Now, if somebody can tell Dave Spohn that, he is outside.
Communications '(continued by Supervisor Pell)
7. The County Public Works has asked for you~ TOwn~s comment
on a proposed sump area they are going to put in on the No~th Road.
It will be west of VanDuzer~s gas, east of Tryac. There Ks an easement
going back there 180 feet between the property line and a big Sump
will be put 186 feet back elf of that road section. We alway~ have
a swamp there every time it rains and flood out. The County aske~
the Southold Tewn Board to comment on it~ We looked at the map today
and we will be contacting them s~ying it should have been done two
or three yea~s a~o. We a~e l~oking forward to ha.ving that wet area
replaced by not flooded roads.
8. An application we spent an hour on today with Mr. Dean and
H2M. Application ~or our landfill area which has to be prepared for
the DEC. As I said before %his is on a time limit. ~n ~R85 all
landfills are supposed to be replaced. The County and Town-are workin¢
together on this. As Councilman Murdock says, this is going to be a
very costly item. We were informed today--Larry I am going to ask
you to go on. We were informed today on how much it will cost us.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: We, as every Other township or municipality
who is running a landfill, commonly known as a dump, we will have
to se~l the landfill and we will also have to put testing devices
SEPTEM~BER 9, 1980
in the landfill to test for methane gas and now thanks to the discovery
in the Town of Islip, plastic has been found to break down give off
a carcinogenci and we are going to be required to put in testing
methods for that. He gave us a ballpark figure of three million
dollars of which there will be no federal, state or county funding
assistance available. This will be when we are finished with the
landfill area. We must give a timetable to the state as to when we
will do this. Unfortunately we are-becoming very educated-~nd our
education is costing us much more in hindsight than in foresiqht.
I don't know how we could have prevented it anyway because they want
the area filled so that there is no more water running through the
buried refuse to put leachate into our water stream and the other
two items are the gases that they want monitored and that will have
to have an impervious top. The whole landfill area will have to be
sealed off. We will have to , when we seal off an area that size, we
have to make provision for the water runoff. As it rains on an area
of that size it will all be channeled and we have to do very many
things to keep big brother happy that are going to be very expensive
for the Town of Southold and that will be, I think he said, in two
to three years we must be on line to do that.
~PERVISOR PELL: This is a project that is going to cost the
Town~a lot of money. The only hope was put up by our Town Attorney
today when we discussed this with H2M. If every Town ~s in the same
boat and we all are, and the State and federal mandates this, let's
hope they come up with some funds perhaps to help us out with this
as they shove it down our throats to speak. If they make us do this.
let's hope they come up with some funds to help the different towns
out.
9. Letter the Town Board received, somewhat I expected i~, but
I didn't like if when it come. It is a letter from the County Public
Works Commissioner saying that the stand the Southold Town residents
and Board has taken on the bridges on New Suffolk Road leaves them in
a very odd situation. If the Town does not reconsider and let the
new federal standards bridges be built, 28 feet wide, that they will
let the bridge deteriorate until they are forced to be closed. The
Town Board discussed this today. They have directed me to contact
our elected officials in Washington, DiC. and see if we couldn't
consider this somewhat of a scenic-historic road and we want to
keep it that way. Keep the bridges, replace them, but as they are
now, do not spend a couple of million dollars to put a great big
28 ft. wide bridge in when one now if 17ft~ wide and one is 20 ft.
snd one is 21 ft. wide. These are all inside dimensions. We had
a hearing here and we had over one hundred people out to discuss
this and they all seemed to agree they would like the bridges fixed
up but keep them as they are, do not enlarge them. The County said
that they cannot get the federal funds unless they go to the proposed
28 ft. wide bridges. Our roads are not that wide going on and off
the bridges. The County sent the letter saying they would bear they
expense of making the ingress and egerss suitable to the bridges~they
would do that expense but yet the people of the Town that came out
that night said keep the bridges like they are and the Board has
directed me to contact, as I said, the elected officials in Washington,
D.C. to see what we can do with them. The County says no at 'this ~i~e.
10. A letter, it will be on resolution form, placing Jerry King
who is the chef in the Greenport nutrition site. He will become
placed onthe Town payroll. His pay shall be paid by the County.
The Town will have to pick up his fringe benefits. In order to do
this I have to have a resolution and well have that~later on in the
meeting.
11. Report on a 208 project summary report. One of the studies
going on. I think on this one there is a three day school, class being
held three nights down in Suffolk Community and it is all about why
do we need 208 studies. There is a $15.00 entrance fee. I plan to
go. I believe Councilman Murdock plans to go also we can find
out a little bit more about 208 studies and what we were told and by
reading.
12. From the Supervisor of Islip Township saying that they
also take the stand that your Town Board has taken that they are
opposed to a bill in the federal government taking control of
cablevision out of the local municipaliti~s.~hands even though we
grant the franchise. Where the Southold Town Board grants the
frnachise to these cable folks we like to hale the jurisdiction with
it here, not in Washington, D.C.
13. A meeting being held on--by~he MTA Committee, Advisory
Group in Hauppaute on September 18th at 7:00 o'clock at night.
do plan to go and I hope other Board members will go. We met with
the Long Island Railroad people, as I announced tow eeks ago, trying
to improve the train service out here. I think it was Monday of this
week I had somebody come into my office and say they went to take the
5:00 'clock train back Sunday night, or the bus, it didn't show up.
They called in, Oh, we cancelled that one, take the next one at 8:00
o'clock. I'm getting quite a few complaints about the railroad. Our
county exec did arrange for the Riverhead Town counterpart and myself
to meet with the MTA and we did not make out too well. This is another
meeting along the same lines. September 18th it is open to the public.
I hope many people will go. I know the people who have been calling me
about, I'm telling them about it, that it is up there September 18th
and I hope we do have some people from Southold Town attend it.

V. RESOLUTIONS
On motion of Councilman Drum, seconded by Councilman Murdock, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby requests
our State Legislators to support Senate Bill No. 55 sponsored by
Senator Owen Johnson, as well as the companion Assembly Bill L-191,
co-sponsored by Assmenlyman Anthony Seminerio and John Flanagan, which
bills appear to the Congress of the United States to convene a
Constitutional Convention for the purpose of preparing a Human Life
Amendment.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Does any Board mamber wish to speak on it.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: I will reserve my comments until after the
vote, please.
Vote of the Town~iBoard:
COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: I would like to comment before my vote. It is
just on this particular issue (interrupted by a message for Supervisor
Pell)---I would like vo comment on a few things before I gast my vote.
SEPTEMBER 9, 1980
First, it's my opinion that the Town Board is nom the proper forum
for discussion fo this issue. Although the Board has been very
responsive vo both sides of the issue. I feel that, number two,
the United States Constitution has withstood the test of time and
should only be amended by legislative process. Three, I would be
opposed to a Constitutional Convention on any issue. I feel the
Constitution has been withstood the test of time and it should be
amemded only as it has been done in the past. We are in constant
changing world and this is one thing that again has withstood the
test of time. As to the issue of abortion, it is a very deep
religious and moral issue and cannot be agreed upon by either
medical experts or theologians and both ~ides, one may be right
and one may be wrong. I don't think that the Town Board is the '~
proper place. I will vote NO on the issue on the resolution.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: YES.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I would just like to say that I also feel that
this has not been the proper forum for this issue to be brought
before this level of government. I felt it should have been brought
before those people in government in Albany and Washington. It is a
a personal issue and I'm not going to discuss the merits of the case.
We have had many eloquent speakers here throughout the summer, but I
too will vote NO on this as it is not a Town Board matter.
COUNCILMAN DRUM: YES.
SUPERVISOR PELL: I feel like the gentlemen on my left.~ I feel this
is not the proper place for this question to be asked. I feel that
there are many questions that have to be answered before you call
for a Constitutional Convention; As to the cost, the guidelines to
be set up to be used in one before I could yore for a call for this
I would like to know answers to some of these thoughts, as I said
before, the guidelines. This would be something new. The only other
Constitutional Convention that was called was the one that formed the
Country and I feel it is too much of an important issue and this is
not the right s~ep for this question to go. I vote NO.
RESOLUTION DECLARED LOST.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: My big concern with this issue has been that the
Town Board, in trying to be responsive to local people has been,
I would use the word abused sort in quotation marks, by both
sides. Both the proponents and the opponents brought in many many
people from out of town with many diverse opinions. They are
certainly entitled to their opinions and I believe they were given
all the courtesy that any board would have given them and probably
more courtesy than most boards would have given them. To my mind
the total weight of testimony on both sides made it a --not as much
an issue of who's right and who~s wrong becuase I think in this
particular motion, which every way the Board went we would have been
wrong and we would have been right and I think it then brought it
down to a matter of personal conscience ~nd not a big--whethe~ there
is any merit to either side and I think ~s evidence, I think our
Board voted as our each personal conscience de6ided for us.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Mr. Chairman, as a courzesy toe'our Supervisor,
who may have an emergency phone call I request a five minute recess.
On Motion of Councilman Nickles, seconded by Councilman Sullivan, it was
RESOLVED that a five minute recess be called.at 4:00 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes:]aCouncilman Sullivan, Councilman
Murdock, Councilman N~ckles, Councilman Drum, Supervisor Pell.
This resolutio~ was declared duly adopted.
Meeting reconvened at 4:05 P.M.
SUPERVISOR PELL: The other day, yesterday, I think it was, my son
in Hampton Bays, cut his hand and he had it sewed up and the lady
come in and said there's an emergency call to Hampto~ Bays. So all
I could thin~ of in my mind was he must have done something with
the hand, the szitches have been pulled out o~ something.~i~hgo and
call him up and it's not that. Our bu~l~g over, one of the boat
booms that go up in:the air was working on his gear and the boat
boom fell down and wenv through the roof of our building there.
SEPTEMBER 9, 1980 363
o
I said, "Is anybody hurt?" He said, "No." I said, "What d~d_you
interrupt me for in a Board meeting, we can fix that later. As long
as nobody is hurt," That's what I got called out for, a boat boom
went through ~he roof of a building. We're insured~ yes. Thank
you very much for the little delay.

COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Mrs. Wells was entitled to a Step II increase
three months ago and it got overlooked and by this way giving
her II and III for the last three months it will make her even with
what she would have been if II had come in a~ its proper time.
SUPERVISOR PELL: The funny part about that is any of you know her.
she works in my office as the Account Clerk and I work with her every
day and I didn't even think of it in July when I looked over everybody
elses record and forgo~ heres. Sometimes so close you don't see it
I guess. She should have said something but she didn,t.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Number 9 is to authorize me to sign a contract

for the following year. Without the funding we can't continue the
projec~ because it is not ~ll cost to our local government.
COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: I .question it too. I am concerned that we
need something along this line and we would want ~o take a look at
it at the end of one year and see if the Town wan~s to continue.
Most of our complaints are about teenagers and problems that they
may or may not cause so we want~to take a look at how this program
works.
SEPTEMBER 9, 1980
865
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Sullivan, Councilman
Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Councilman Drum, Supervisor Pell.
This resolution was declared duly adopted.
SUPERVISOR PELL: I'd like to ad lib a bit a minute, if I could, about
this resolution that the Board just pa~sed because I am proud of the
Board on it. I was appointed by the governor and approved by the
New York State Senate to sit on the Crime Panel Board. I set for the
first time Friday of last week. Suffolk County applied for a grant
very similar to this grant which Was written by our Chief of Police
and some other folks in Town for $182,000.00 Thye were awarded this
grant. It is practically identical to what we applied for. I almost
think that somebody read our grant and applied for the same type of
grant, realizing they have the problems and like to solve them the
same way we are. In applying for their grant they brought up the
following facts. We are part of the County and we fall into County
statistics. Suffolk County, outside of New York City, has the highest
arrest record from the age ten to tWenty years old out of the entire
state. We have the most youth throughout the entire state on probation.
We have the most petitions filed in Family Court in the entire state
outside of New York. We have admissions to county jails, the highest
rate of any county in New York from the age 16 to 20 year~olds. Our
grant we applied for will address many of these problems that the
Suffolk[ ~unty used to apply for their grant that follows the same
line along as ours. I am p~oud of this Town Board that we had the
problem, we did put it in gra~t form, it did get approved all the
way by the state and federal g~ment to fund us. The county has
joined with us and they filed in nine specific areas within the
county. It is interesting to sit there to see the other people, other
towns, counties, have the same problems and address the same way
that we first addressed ours. Thank you.
On motion of Councilman ~urdock, seconded by Councilman Drum, it was

SUPERVISOR PELL:
else to bring up?
prepared. George?
would like to ask my Board if they have anything
That ends the portion of the agenda which we h~e
COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: Do you want to mention anything on the Mattituck
Terminal--you had information to give us?
SUPERVISOR PELL: No, the only thing I have on that--the Mattituck
Inlet Advisory Committee presented me with a letter asking me to
send it off on their behalf of the Attorney General and I told them
before I would send it because it does come fromthe Town, I would
want to discuss it with the Board. I did not have time to discuss
it with the Board yet so I t~ld the Board prior to the meetin~g today
I need guidance on several a~eas to go and this is one of the areas
I am going to discuss with the Board and get guidance after we adjourn
the meeting today.
COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: What is your Personal feel on prosecution and
going ahead with the case?
SUPERVISOR PELL: Of course, go.
COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: You favor prosecution?
SUPERVISOR PELL: Absolutely. I think I have been on record saying
that before.
John?-nothing Larry?-nothing Hank?-nothing.
Does anybody wish to address the Board.
MR. MOHR: Mr. Pell, You promised last week you would bring up at
this meeting about the steps at Hortons Point.
SUPERVISOR PELL: The Board discussed it today. Mr. Dean did make
a report back to the Board this morning during the working session
of the Board: The approximate cost, I believe, to fix the steps
was $1,400~00 for material or whatever. $1400. was the figure he gave
to the Board today. We discussed the feasibility of when it can be
done and he said his department at this time could not do it until
early spring. He has to get ready for the winter. The Town Board
wants to evaluate. We have 87 street ends. We have people requesting
work to be done in Gillette Drive, Rocky Point Road, throughout the
Town, we want to sit down this fall and go over all our policies on
street ends such as Hortons steps that you are referring to and come
up with a uniform situation that we can find applicable to each area.
MR. MOHR: Dido2 the Board put the money aside for the steps and is
it just a matter Of time now?
SUPERVISOR PELL: No, I am making the budget now and I will presen~ it
to the Board on October - to the Town Clerk on October 1st and the
Board can modify, add to, takeaway money in this category which it
will be in.
MR. MOHR: Okay, thank you.
MR. CHARLES HICKEY: I have two things. In regard to the budget
coming up, for two, yea~s now that I have been asking for a leaf pi~ker.
The last price I heard was something like $4500 and they were going
to build or pieces added to it material-wise and I haven't seen a
leaf picker yet. Now Southold Town, ~ am sure, can afford it .i~
Greenport can a~ford it. So that,s one of ~y ~equests. ~he othe~
one is regarding D~ossos Restaurant ~ith male stripteasers. I am
quite sure that people w~ho attend s'o~ething 'like that~the people in
Southold would not be with it and I want to know if something can be
done regarding it. A town ordinance or t~wn law can be passed, if
SEPTEMBER 9 1980
it takes four months, six months, lets do something about it before
somebody else comes in. One is now and they are going to follow one
after the other in other places.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you very much, I guess I'll have to address
that. The Board is aware, was made aware, after the first night.
The first night it was held was a Thursday night. Frida~ my telephone
started to ring. I did have the police check our law our, check with
the different people, DA, see what local laws there were in violation.
There were no local laws in violation. The next Thursday night it was
held I understand the crowd was about 60 people in there. We met
w~_tl~ our Chief Police and asked him to keep a close watch. We were
worried about parking on bdth sides of the road. There have been a
couple of bad accidents in the area and we were a little bit afraid
o~ what we think might happen, there might be a mob scene 'there.
The Chief of Police did go down and check it out to see i£ there were
any violations occurring in the inside. H~ reported back there were
only 21 people there the last Thursday.night. I spole to the owners
o£ ~t on the telephone, they. called me. They said they had Signed
the contr.act for four weeks and their an2i'cipation of it being a
success was going just the reverse. As the Tow-n could perhaps prepare
a local ordinance or something along'this, we have not discussed this
with QU~ Town Attorney yet and Ii don'~t th~nk right this instance is
the time £o~ us to get. into discussion on it. The Town Board is
awa~e o~ the situation. We are w-atch'ing it v er'y closely, to be. on
t~p of ~t. T didn"t answer your question but maybe.'~ hei'p.ed fill
y@u in on what we know what we are doing.
QUE~TION: HaTe you also cpnside~ed a local Ordinance?.
SUPERVISOR PELL: We would w. an~ to discuss it with our Tow, n Attorney,
we h~e not done so. This is one Ol the 'othe~ items I have on my
guidance I need. I will discuss it ~ith the Board later today.
Anyone else wish to address the Board?
