Would anyone like to address the Town Board on any issue? Pete? Superintendent of Highways Peter Harris PETER HARRIS: Good evening members of the Board. Peter Harris, Superintendent of Highways. I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention in the town tonight, first I would like to start with the emergency preparedness team that prepared prior to superstorm Sandy. We had a great plan, it was put into effect. Post storm cleanup, due to the fact that we were authorized to work overtime to remove debris, we were right in on that 30 day window that FEMA was looking for the reimbursement. I think the town's employees served the taxpayers of this town immensely and did a terrific job. Thanks to Lloyd Reisenberg fbr securing those vehicles through the county debris management that helped call along with the fleet and workforce of the highway to get that debris to the compost facility. This town doesn't know how fortunate we were compared to other towns on Long Island and New Jersey that were totally devastated. Not that we didn't have residents that were devastated and lost their homes but we missed the direct bullet. We got wounded but we didn't take the direct hit. I just have to say that Southold Town came out and in my opinion and its employees did a fantastic job of getting this town back to order in a very reasonable amount of time. I think we learned from, you know, what's the December 18, 2012 Page 38 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes chances of having two storms two years in a row? And last year we learned a lot of things as far as when we were doing recovery from the storm in the amount of time that it took us to get the mess cleaned up and we did it in less than half this year. We had probably just as close as much amount of debris on the ground. But through emergency preparedness, working with Lloyd Reisenberg, being prepared right from the outset, post storm and getting resoumes here. This town can be well thankful of its employees. They did a yeoman's job. There are still some things out there that are being done, I mean, we have trees that are still standing that probably there is quite a few that are going to end up having to come down but you know, there are road ends that are going to need to be fixed but Jamie Richter, the day we met with FEMA, he had a whole plan of things that had to be taken care of and numbers and dollars and cents values of what it would cost to rehabilitate them. Thank god that mother nature was on our side, it didn't hit us bad with snow, so that we were able, I was able to take the overtime assets from unexpended snow overtime that could pay for the overtime for this cleanup, that the town didn't have to go and look to try to scramble to where we were going to get the money to pay these people. The money was there and its not costing the taxpayers any, you know, we didn't have to go out and get any extra money from someplace else. So I just wanted to say thank you to the Board, thank you to the members of the Emergency Management and to the employees of the town. Thank you. COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Thanks, Pete, for the hard work. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, Pete, just so everyone is aware. Pete is actually one of the members of the Emergency Management Committee. We actually put in some very long days and even longer nights in at the police station basement, prior to the event, during the event and then post event and Pete still hasn't stopped because of the enormous amount of cleanup that needed to take place that Pete had overseen the whole time. So, thank you for everything, Pete. Who else would like to address the Town Board? Benjamin Schwartz, Cutchogue BENJA SCHWARTZ: It's been a while. Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue. I have been hearing fi'om a lot of people that they miss seeing me up here. I miss seeing all of you. A lot of things have happened. Hurricane Sandy was not as serious a storm as we thought it was. It was a severe storm though and we did suffer some damage. Maybe we were lucky but maybe also I am thankful to the man who planted the trees after the '48 hurricane on my property that the trees that he planted were a little bit to the side and fell down on the side of the house, missed the house. There was another big tree right in the middle of the front of my house which I cut down probably about 20 years ago that might have ended up right in the house. 1 think we, I would also like to express gratitude to the employees who did a tremendous job working very hard after the storm. But I don't think we are doing enough, I don't think we are ready for the next storm. I don't think that two storms in a row was completely a coincidence or an accident. Do you all, up on the Town Board there, do you believe in free will? COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Depends. MR. SCHWARTZ: Do you believe we have the power to influence the future? Do you believe that, 1 do, I believe that every person has the power for better or worse and 1 believe that if we December 18, 2012 Page 39 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes don't use the power for better then we end up fbr worse. I don't think we have to debate global warming but I think as our Town Board, you are designated the official leaders of our town and you have the power to control many things in our town. In terms of storms, the end of Pequash Road demonstrates to me after every storm that our infrastructure, our roads are designed to shoot the water that runs off the road out towards the harbor and then the water that the storm is, the waves coming in we get erosion and a washout. We lucked out this year that the county dredge just came through a month or so after the storm and deposited a lot of sand. I think the highway department usually is the one that has to bring the trucks of sand down there every time we have a storm. I had the pleasure of visiting Nassau Point last week, I took a, someone there from the south fork who grew up on the bays on the south fork and he was blown away by the beauty and just how wonderful, we have some beautiful places out here. The only part of that walk which was not attractive at all was the end of the road. The way the storm drain is set up, there is a concrete pad to try and shoot the water out into the bays and the harbors. Well, we, that used to be the thing to do but now we know better but we are still doing it. a lot of specific issues that we have been dealing with, that we have dealt with in the past year, not going to go into details. I did have a man call the police on me last week because I was taking a video tape of him and his 4 workers, they had 5 gas powered backpack leaf blowers. He asked me what I wanted him to do and I said use a rake. He said a rake? Rakes, no, no rakes. He told me if I didn't like him making all that noise on Sunday morning, at 7:30 Sunday morning, I should call the police. I said no, we don't need to call the police, we can talk about it. he said I have nothing to talk to you about, go call the police. I said if you want to call the police, call the police. The police asked me what the law was. I said I looked it up but I can't understand it. they said, well, if you are a lawyer and you can't understand it, how is everybody else supposed to understand it? just passed that noise law last year. It is extremely unclear. It looks to me like commercial people are covered but it talks about residential use of light equipment and commercial servicers. And then they start talking about snow throwers. Well, I don't really have much problem with snow blowers but there is no mention of leaf blowers and leaf blowers are a problem because of the noise and because of the damage that they do to our environment, to the soil, to the earth, to the things that grow in the soil that keep the healthy soil, so that the water doesn't run off and cause problems and so that we have a natural balance, a healthy strong eco-system, that we don't have things like infestations of ticks and huge populations of deer. We have to make a difference, we have to change, we have to believe that we can do it and that we have free will. There was another example. I see that the supervisor is tired of listening to me but you know, I have a few more things to say and I would like to discuss something with you but I just, have people been, ! don't know, I got here late today, I was working. I had to drive pretty fast, I barely had time to look around but I did, I still saw some beautiful things. I think we all need to slow down and look around. Not to take our eyes off where we are going. We have to keep an eye on where we are going. This event over in New Town Connecticut, there has been a lot of news stories, a lot of coverage. The day it happened, I was glued to the radio. Didn't take long to realize that the people on the radio didn't have too much to report, the facts, they were just trying to inform people but they didn't have the information to do it. So they said what they said and then there's been a lot of reports in a lot of papers and all of that but 1 have only seen one report that really answered some of the questions that I have. Obviously, anyone who goes into a school and mows down 6 year olds is got a problem and is at fault, is doing something wrong. But knowing what we know now, that the guns were purchased by the mother December 18, 2012 Page 40 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes and that the mother used to take that child and go shooting with him and that the child was a troubled child but disregarding that, anyway this report, did you hear about the, did you know that what the, what organization is in New Town? The town where this occurred. Did you hear about the national shooting sport foundation? They claim on their website that they are the voice of the firearms industry in the United States. And their headquarters is in New Town. Right there, you know, you think is this a coincidence? What happened in New Town, happened in New Town. Not only that, they have a couple of shooting ranges in New Town. But they are completely booked. They have waiting lists. People cannot, people, so many people in New Town want to go shooting that they can't get into the shooting ranges, so they are shooting at home. So this is a problem, this is a problem that New Town has been discussing. Now we don't have very many people here but I know that there are some more listening but I think that this is something that it is not just the child that committed the act or the family of that child or the school system there, it is the community. Well, the community in New Town, the leaders of that community, the Republican leaders and the police chief came to the community last summer and said we have gun problem, we have potential for worse problems in New Town and we need to pass some laws to control some of these gun owners that may not be acting properly. Well, the community came to town meetings and said no, no. we don't want any laws, we don't want any control. Well, I think we need people to come to this town government and I think we need some laws. I am not sure about guns but I am concerned about guns in Southold Town. Guns, you know, one thing my mother taught me, she made it very clear, over and over again. Guns are not toys but you know, the national shooting sport association would beg to differ. They put explosives on their targets so that when they hit the target, the target explodes. They say that's a lot of fun. It might be fun but I don't think it should be legal. I think we need to protect our children. I think we need to protect our future. I think we need to do more to control the noise in our town. I am not trying to put anyone out of work. You can get paid for using a rake. As well or better than for using a leaf blower. In many instances a rake is more effective and it is even easier to use. I mean, some of these leaf blowers are no fun, if you have ever tried some of these commercial leaf blowers. It is a lot of work. Well, the last thing I wanted to discuss with you all tonight was something I mentioned a while ago but I probably put it the wrong way but do you know the difference between a crowd and the cloud? I wonder. I wonder if how many people in this town or you know, even like the news media knows the difference between a crowd and the cloud. Does anybody have any idea what I am talking about? I don't hear anybody volunteering. COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I don't know what you are talking about. MR. SCHWARTZ: Okay. The cloud, it is unfortunate in my personal belief that they use a name like the cloud, maybe they should just call it the silver lining or whatever but the cloud is the collective consciousness of electronic consciousness let's say. And I started out myself, I won't go into the history but starting with a little dumb terminal that would access a remote computer from Princeton to a computer to a computer network in an office to the internet but the cloud is how the US patent office is effectively trying to start to understand patent applications because they cannot hire people in government who know enough to understand all the various patent applications that come in. so they publicize the applications and they have a very elaborate method to filter the comments that are made. They get a lot of comments and a lot of December 18, 2012 Page 41 Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes them are nonsense but some of them are from very intelligent and useful and helpful information that is provided and that is the consensus of the research that I have done and experts that I have read for government basically is that cloud sourcing government is the answer to understanding the complexity of the modem world and learning how to address the problems and the opportunities and I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe that there were opportunities. But the difference between the cloud and the crowd is that the crowd doesn't have a leader and anybody who leads the crowd is a fraud, so whether you are a government official or news media, who probably by the way will not report on any of what I am saying tonight, if the past experience is any indication, you will not read about this in the Suffolk Times because it is just Benja. And what does Benja know? Well, believe me, it is not just me. I think long and hard but I do my research. In my estimation, this government for the last 50 years that I have been around has had a track record of following the crowd. Now, I don't believe that's the way that we can make progress. It is not an intelligent method of operation to just follow the crowd and I think we, global warming is an issue which maybe we can't change the world but we do change our local environment. Last thing I will talk about tonight is just how easy that can happen. You know, when I walk out my back door, I built a patio behind my house and on one side of my door, I used what is called bluestone, like slate. You want to talk there, Jill? COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: I am sorry. MR. SCHWARTZ: Okay, because I am almost finished but I thought I had the floor. COUNCILMAN TALBOT: You have had the floor, Benja. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, the bluestone is on one side of the door and the other side has concrete blocks with little beach stone pebbles. Light colored blocks. And in the summer, walk out there or in the winter, one side is hot and one side is cold. Now, living in Cutchogue, known as the sunniest town in New York State, we should understand the importance of micro climates. I have suspicion that the newer method of road construction that we are employing using these black roads are causing heat, significant heat enough to affect our local weather. Maybe not the global weather but the global weather I believe is impacted by the collective infrastructure the humans are building all over the globe and if we don't take responsibility for our own community, then how can we expect the rest of the world to be responsible? Have a happy holidays. COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Thank you. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on any issue? (No response) Happy Holidays to everybody.
