HomeMy WebLinkAbout04/20/1982 L t~.. l_.. APRIL 20, 1982 . 109 . 6. Request from Fishers Island Electric Corp. to be considered in any of the new lighting programs that we have going on in the Town in upgrading their lighting district over there. 7. We had people from the State and County here today to address the Board on their willingness to help the Town write emer~en~y plnns on any disasters that might affect the Town of Southold. They will come out with their people who are well versed in these things and sit down with the Town, department heads and Town Board and try to come up with a plan. They are doing this throughout the state. The cost to the Town will be the cost of printing the booklet when it is done and the people's time involved, such as mine and Councilmen and department heads. The agency is the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission. 8. Letter from William Terry commending the Board on acting and support their efforts in trying to get the clamming under some sort of regulations. The new permit system that was recommended to the Town Board by the Town Trustees. 9. Letter from Gregory Blass in reference to the centralization of the courts from Riverhead to Hauppauge. He asks our support. We already have passed a resolution on this to keep them where they are. A copy of this resolution will be sent to him again, and to Dr. Koppelman where he requested it be sent. 10. Request from the Cutchogue Free Library to be considered in the Community Block Grant in 1982-83. We did consider them. IV. HEARINGS - There will be two hearings beginning at 3:30. V. RESOLUTIONS SUPERVISOR PELL: We have 39 resolutions. We will try to get through a few of them as we go along. Number 1 is the way the Board discussed they would like to s.ee the Community Block money spent for 82-83. The Town is to receive a total of $243,200.00. When the Councilmen reached this agreement, including myself, it was through give and take. We all had our projects we would like to see go forth with priority. It was not a nice meeting we had with this. We had rather heated words perhaps at times. I know .Joe felt very strongly about CAST. I felt strongly about the oil tanks. Somebody else felt strongly about the drainage. Somebody else felt strongly about landfill. We put numbers back and forth, up and down and all six of us sitting up here had to make sacrifices. As in any way, the majority always rules. This is no exception. The way the money will be earmarked to be sent is set forth in the following resolution. 1. Moved by Supervisor Pell, seconded by Councilman Murphy, WHEREAS, in July 1982 the Town of Southold expects to receive approximately $243,200.00 in Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds, and WHEREAS, these funds may be used, and have previously been used for a variety or projects to be selected by local officials, and WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing at 7:30 P.M., March 9, 1982 at the Southold Town Hall, at which time Town residents were invited to express their views o~ local needs to be met with these funds, now, therefore; be it RESOLVED that the following projects have been selected to be undertaken with the Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds: ~75,000.00 - Housing rehabilitation - Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Streets, Greenport, and houses adjacent to Landfill Site, Cutchogue. $50,000.00 - Capping Landfill $10,000.00 - Cutchogue Library - handicapped access $50,000.00 - Mattituck Parking Lot - paving $10,000.00 _ Fishers Island-blacktop basketball recreation area $10,000.00 - Fencing Drainage areas $ 5,000.00 _ Reconstruction fund - North Fork Community Theatre $33,200.00 - Adminstrative Costs. SUPERVISOR PELL: As I s aid before there are some items on here that were crossed off as we went over them, such as the Mattituck oil tanks, such as CAST in Greenport, 'such as the Nutrition Program in Greenport and a few others. But as I said, the Board did spend a lot of time on this and I know we are going to have a lot of unhappy people on this but it is the decision of the Board and this is the way it stands. Any discussion from any Board members?
