SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD
OCTOBER 18, 199~,
WORK SESSION
Present: Supervisor Thomas Wickham, Councilman Joseph J. Lizewski, Councilwoman
Alice J. Hussie (10:45 A.M.), Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jr., Councilwoman Ruth
D. Oliva, Justice Louisa P. Evans, Town Clerk Judith T. Terry, Town Attorney Laury
P. Dowd.
9:15 A.M. Carol and Edward Worth met with the Town Board to request permission
to temporarily place a house trailer on their property at Baldwin Place and Strohson
Road, Cutchogue, to serve as living quarters while they build a new home on the
property. They expect to begin construction about November 15th, and would
hopefully only need the trailer for six months (see resolution no. 23).
9:20 A.M. - Town Board reviewed a request from John Sullivan, Chairman of the Board
of Assessment Review, requesting an increase in the total compensaton of the BAR for
1994. The Board agreed they would relook at the formula of compensation while
working on the 1995 Budget.
9:30 A.M. - John Congdon, representing Wright Risk Management Company, Inc., made
a presentation to the Town Board on providin9 Property and Liability insurance for
the Town of Southold through NYMIR - New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal- a
nonprofit, tax-exempt licensed insurance company owned by its subscribers who are
New York State counties, towns, villages and district corporations. NYMIR provides
custom tailored municipal property and liability coverage at significant savings, and
through its Board of Governors, NYMIR also enables local 9overnments to exercise
substantive control over coverages, claims policy, investments and other integral
elements of the program. Followin9 the presentation the Town Board agreed Councilman
Townsend, Senior Accountant Cushman, who was in attendance during this
presentation, and the Town's Insurance Consultant William F. Mullen, Jr. would meet
and review Wright Risk Management's proposal for Southold Town.
10:15 A.M. Town Board discussed the proposed Ethics Code Financial Disclosure
Statement, and concluded that the best way to handle the statement and proposed
amendments to the code itself, would be to hold a special work session and invite all
interested elected officials and department heads to join them and participate in the
discussion. 7:30 P.M., October 26th was set for this meeting.----Data Control
Supervisor Jeanne Ruland joined the Board for a discussion concerning a grant applica-
tion request from the Justice Court. They are applying to the New York State Division
of Criminal Justice Services for a Local Court Automation Project which would enable
the Justice Court to obtain accurate criminal records of individuals through computer
access without the intervention of outside agencies. Board agreed to the request and
placed on a resolution (no. 27) on the agenda authorizing the Supervisor to execute
the grant application.
10:35 A.M, - Solid Waste Issues: Discussed a memorandum from Solid Waste Coordinator
Bunchuck informing the Town Board that the program for distribution of Town Garbage
Bags for merchants from Town Hall has been found to be ineffective and costly, due
to the fact it has been utilized by very few merchants. Board agreed to discontinue
(resolution no. 28).----Discussion of Landfill closure costs with regard to the Solid
Waste Management District. Justice Evans brought to the Town Board's attention the
Interim Agreement between the Town and the Fishers Island Garbage and Refuse
District. This agreement specifically stated that all costs associated with the site
maintenance, closure and capping of the Fishers Island Metal Dump would be assessed
on a townwide basis, including Fishers Island. And the District will assume fuli
managerial and financial responsibility for the maintenance and closure of the Landfill,
including fines, costs or penalties assessed by a court of any State or Federal agency.
At the conclusion of the discussion the Town Board agreed with Justice Evans'
assessment of the Town/District responsibilities.----Tom Maher, P.E., Vice President
of Dvirka and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers, met with the Town Board to discuss ~
his firms proposal for services with regard to the Landfill Closure Investigation field
program (see resolution no. 29). Also in attendance during this discussion and the
next discussion was Solid Waste Coordinator Bunchuck.----The Board next met with
John D. Cameron, Jr., P.E., President of Omni-East End, Inc. Mr. Cameron submitted
a pricing proposal to the Town of Southold for long-term solid waste management
services, the pricing structure of~which is the same as offered to and accepted by the
Town of Southampton.~ He envisions both Southold and Southampton accessing his
facility, a composting plant to be constructed in Calverton, through an intermunicipal
agreement with the Town of Riverhead, which is presently under long-term contract
with East End. Omni is permitted and prepared to go forward with construction of
their state-of-the-art recycling and composting facility in Calverton. Their proposal
to Southold Town is $74.95 per ton delivered to Calverton, for a total of 10,000 tons
guaranteed~ Following the discussion with Mr. Cameron the Town Board asked
Councilwoman Hussie if she would convene a meeting of the Solid Waste Task Force to
look at the proposal and make a recommendation to the Town Board.--Another solid waste
discussion was led by Town Attorney Dowd with regard to the Fishers Island Metal
Dump. Town Attorney Dowd advised that the DEC requires the Town to either prepare
a closure plan or submit the specifications for review. The unanimous decision was
to submit the specifications for review. A final engineering decision was made to go
to bid on a lump sum contract, but separate out the hazardous waste at a per ton
basis. Supervisor Wickham will ask Fagan Engineering to submit an estimate for
revising the specifications.----Lastly, the Town Board discussed a lease of the
equipment at the Cutchogue Transfer Station from the Town to the District. Joining
this discussion was Solid Waste Coordinator Bunchuck and Senior Accountant Cushman.
The Board placed a resolution on the agenda to put the lease into effect immediately
(no.30), as well as a second resolution to convey the land and improvements at the'
-Disposal Area to the Solid Waste Management District (no. 31).
12:25 P.M. - Recess for lunch.
1:50 P.M. Steve Ridler, Department of State, Coastal Management Program, met with
the Town Board to discuss the steps necessary for completion of the Town's draft of
the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. Also in attendance was Town Trustee
President Albert Krupski, Jr. The Town has received two grants of $25,000 each, for
a Harbor Management Program and a Coastal Erosion Shoreline Program. Mr. Ridler
advised the Town Board to seek RFP's for consulting services so the Town can moved
forward with the studies. Trustee President Krupski told the Town Board that
inasmuch as the Trustees administer the Coastal Erosion Law, the study is most urgent.
2:30 P.M. Town Board reviewed the amended proposed Local /aw in Relation to
Wineries and placed a resolution on the agenda (no. 32) to transmit it to the Southold
Town Planning Board and Suffolk County Department of Planning for recommendations
and reports. ~
2:40 P.M. Supervisor Wickham informed the Town Board that Joe Gold, who has been
representing him at CAST Board meetings, has notified him that he will no longer be
able .to fulfill that obligation. Supervisor Wickham sought a replacement from the Board
members, and if there anyone is interested they should contact him. CAST monthly
Board of Directors' meeting is the second Thursday of the month.----Supervisor~ .
Wickham stated that CAST would like a monetary contribution from the Town for youth
activities. Objection was expressed by Councilpeople Hussie, Lizewski and Evans.
Supervisor Wickham said he would like to extend an invitation to CAST for a
presentation on their requirement for the requested funds for youth activities.----
Councilman Townsend submitted a proposal to the Town Board for the creation of a
Southold Town Activities Scholarship Program which would allow young people of limited
OCTOBER 18, 1994
means to participate in the many activities now available in Southold Town and that will
support these activities through increased membership.~ He proposed the eligibility be
based on Section 8 "Very Low Income" guidelines. Administration of the program would
be through the Southold Town Recreation Department. Initial funding would come from
money budgeted by the Town for the Youth Bureau, and additional funding would come
from a consortium of local service clubs. Overview of the program would be by the
Youth Support Committee. After considerable discussion on the concept of the
program, Board members agreed (resolution no. 33) that the program would be for
Town Recreation programs only, and allocated a sum not to exceed $5,000. If service
clubs wish to participate at a later date, the Town would not be in a position to object
if their money went to outside activities. Before the program is initiated, guidelines
will be created by the Youth Support Committee for formal Town Board approval.
3:30 P.M. - Supervisor Wickham briefed the Town Board on: Memorandum from Town
Attorney Dowd stating that under the current town code, the review for special
exceptions and site plan review cover the same ground, and many uses are now
required to have both reviews. Board agreed this should be referred to the Code
Review Committee.----Creation/merger of lots also referred to Code Committee.----
Supervisor's proposal for a meeting between the Town Board and Greenport Village
Board here at Town Hall to discuss scavenger waste plant, police, Geier proposal for
annexation, public water and the role of the Suffolk County Water Authority, the
proposed Harbor Walk and Flounder Fish'Hatche~y in the Village, and any other items

SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I think you all have copies of the agenda out
there.. We've had a very busy day today, beginning at 9:00 o'clock this
morning with a series of discussions through the Work Session this morning
and the afternoon, and this is the public session where we consider taking
up resolutions stemming from that discussion period. It's the recent
practice of the Board to summarize some of the things, that were discussed
during the Work Session, and if you turn to the last page of the agenda,
the order of business, '1'11 just summarize a few of them, which are not on
for resolution today. There are some things, that were taken up, that are
not followed by with a particular resolution on tonight's agenda. At 10:00
o'clock this morning we had a discussion about the proposed Ethics Code. We
have before the Board a draft page for disclosure of financial interests,
and that disclosure form has generated quite a bit of discussion on the part
Of the Board, and we've scheduled a meeting next Wednesday of the whole
Board, a special meeting of the Board, to take that up in more detail, and
to try to get through all aspects of the Ethics Code draft, that's before
us. At 10:15, we had a discussion on a proposed access to CRIMENET.
CRIMENET is a computer software available from Albany, that would our
Justice Court to pull up on their computer screens records of people who
are arraigned, and brought into the Justice Court, similarly to the way the
Police can call up, or the Justice Division can call up, people with motor
vehicle violations on their licenses. You'd be able to look at criminals,
or prospective criminals records, and make a more efficient Justice system,
be able to not have wait through a long period of consideration, as to all
the details, and all the information, that it normally takes. At 10:30 and
10:45 we took up several other matters to do with Solid Waste, which are on
for resolution tonight. At 11:00 o'clock we had a discussion from Omni
regarding a solid waste proposal. Omni, you may know, is planning to build
a compost facility in Calverton. Their proposal is that the Town of
Southold would join with Riverhead, and Southampton, and Brookhaven
now, as prospective towns that would send some of our municipal solid waste
for garbage to that facility. So, they had a proposal for us, which we
considered at some length, .and forwarded it on to the Solid Waste Task
Force for a recommendation from our Task Force. Eleven-fifteen or there
about, we had a lengthy discussion as to how to petition, and how to pay
the costs of getting your garbage between the solid waste district, which as
you must know, is a taxing district within the Town of Southold, that
includes basically all of the Town, including Greenport, exclusive of
Fishers Island. Up until now, the legal costs of settlement of the
litigation that we've had, and the capping and closure of our landfills, has
been financed from the Whole Town Budget, which includes Fishers Island.
Are discussions this morning led to a distinction, and putting in either the
Solid Waste District specifically here, on the North Fork, to pay those
costs associated with the Cutchogue Landfill, rather than from the Whole
Town Budget, which would have resulted in people of Fishers Island paying
some of those costs, even though they get no benefit from our Landfill here.
Eleven-forty-five we had a discussion for about the third or~ fourth
consecutive time on the specifications for how we're going to clean up the
Metal Dump on Fishers Island, and I think, maybe, that's about the end of
it. Turning to the afternoon, just I'd like to mention very briefly, at
1:45 the discussion on two modest grants, that the Town of Southold has
received from New York State 9overnment in Albany, dealing with the
Waterfi~ont Revitalization Program' Two veryspecific' ' studies,' each one
should" take about six or seven months, for which the Town is being
provided with $25,000.00 to conduct those studies. On of them is a
so-called Harbor Management Study, a study of Mattituck Inlet, and some of
the other inlets, as in the Town creeks, in ways that Will permit the
development of those inlets, and ways that don't contaminate, or jeopardize
the cleanliness' of the waters for clamming or shellfishing. The other Study
is a study Of Coastal erosion primarily along the Sound. As you probably
know there :iS quite a bit of little drift in the Sound,, the, resulting loss
of quite a bit of sand in front of a number of people's, homes, and the
question is, what is an appropriate policy for the Town of Southold to deal
with this question? What kind. of hardening, and beach 'structures shOu d
we encourage, where should they be place, how should the Town address
these QUestions? Another $20,000.00 grant from the State to, assist the
Town in ~addressin9 these questions. Both these questions would be part of
our Waterfront Revitalization Program, which the Town has been making a lot
of work on, and with the assistance of Ruth Oliva here, I think you'll be
hearing more about: it in coming months, as we pull together a series of
policies of the town dealing with' our waterfront. Lots of other things,
that the Town Board discussed during the Work Session, but I think most of
them were covered in the resolutions that we're taking up tonight; and 'won't
take any more time. ~

V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We have before us a series of resolutions to take
up. Before we do that it is the right of anyone in the audience to address
the Town Board on any matter related to these particular resolutions. Is
there anyone who would like to address the Board on that?
DAVID CORWIN: My name is David Corwin, and I'd llke to address you
concerning Resolution #19. Resolved that the Town has no object to the
proposed sale of the Cove Condominium in Bayview to the Suffolk County
Water Authority, and supports it for the reasons discussed by the Board. I
don't think that's exactly what you meant, or mean to say, in that
resolution. I think what you're trying to say is that you are going to tell
the Water Authority you have no objection to their coming in, and operating
the Cove water system. Am I correct on that?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: That is correct. That was apparently incorrectly
entered in the agenda, but the resolution is corrected.
DAVID CORWIN: That was not on the order of business. You did briefly
discuss it at the very end, and because I was just hanging in there to see
what goes on in Town Board, I picked up on this resolution, and this in the
Village of Greenport water franchise district, which I think you all know,
and what happened there was, let's go back, maybe four years, maybe six
years ago, the developers of that condominium unit came into the Village of
Greenport, and said, would you run the water system for us? The Village
of Greenport said, yes, weql run the water system. It's a very small water
system. I think it has two pumps, that runs sixty gallons per minute. I'm
not sure what happened. Apparently, the developer went bankrupt. I'm not
sure but he owed the Village of Greenport a large sum of money. That's
why the Village of Greenport stopped service to that complex. They owed
money. What else could they do? They couldn't get their money any other
way. They certainly couldn't put it on the tax bills like they can in the
Incorporated Village of Greenport. I don't know if the Village of Greenport
got any money from the sale, the recent sale of this condominium, got a
settlement on what they were owed, or not, but I do believe that the Village
wrote a letter to the Suffolk County Water Authority indicating to them that
the Cove Condlminlums were in the Village's franchise. The Village owns
the pipeline. There's a water main that runs between, I guess, it's the
Cove and is it Angel Shores? There is a water pipeline, that runs in. It's
owned by the Village of Greenport. The two pumps~ I think, are owned by
the developer, or whoever succeeded the developer. I don't think it's
proper for you to tell the Suffolk County Water Authority to come into the
Village franchise district, which is in effect what you're telling us. Now,
the Village may not want to carry on this Cove Condominium, but I don't
know, but I think you should have a dialogue with the Village, and say, get
their input, see what's going to happen before you vote on this resolution.
You discussed briefly at the ending of the Work Session today talking to the
Village, having another joint meeting, which i think is great. I think
there's got to be more dialogue between the Town and the Village. You
mentioned you were going to discuss water. I think this is one of the items
you should discuss before you go ahead, and say you weren't opposed to
the sale, and apparently the reason you have to do this is, because the
Suffolk County Legislature has to have a resolutlon allowing the Wa~er
Authority to go in there, and nobody wants to introduce a resolution until
the Town says, it's fine by us, and, again, until you go to the Village of
Greenport who has the franchise, incidentally, when the Village of Greenport
took over the old North Fork Water Company, I believe it was back in the
'60's, Which were the water mains in Southold here, the North Fork Water
Company had the franchise for the whole Town of Southold, not just Suffolk
County. So, in my mind I question whether the Water Authority even has
the right to come in as they did, and start up in Mattltuck, or Laurel,
because at one time the North Fork Water Company had the whole franchise
for everything west of the Village of Greenport. So, again, to sum up,
before you vote on this, I would say table it, have a discussion with the
Village of Greenport. Maybe they're going to say to you, hey, we don't
want it, go ahead, bring the Water Authority in. I just want to make one
comment on the Water Authority. They're coming in like a lamb. They're
saying we're not going to do anything unless the Town wants us to do, but
let me tell you, I've dealt with the Water Authority on engineering
projects, they are a big bureaucracy, they're here to supply water, they
want to supply water, and I guess what you could say is once the genie is
out of the bottle, the Water Authority is going to go full blast through the
Town. They're going to hook up to the pine barrens on Riverhead-Center
Moriches Road, and it's going to be all the water wantS, and maybe, that's
a good thing. Maybe, that's what you people want, but before you let the
g n~e out of the bottle, I would suggest you should know .exactly what you
want, because the Water Authority is in business of supplying water to
people. That's what they want to do. That's where the political
appointments come from. So, I say to you, be careful with the Suffolk
County Authority.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Is there anyone else in the audience, who would
like to address the Board on any matter to be taken up among the
resolutions? Yes, sir?
FRANK BARUTO: My name is Frank Baruto, and I'm in Southold. I
don't knoW w'l~ether to have a discussion, or any argument with you, Mr.
Wickham, and it's about the garbage bags. You spoke to me about it
several times, and it's my belief that nothing is going to done about the
bags, and I wonder why. Would you like to reply, as to what you might do
on that?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: What we might, or might not do about the garbage
bags isn't really on for resolution tonight, but I think there is a
resolution actually dealing with garbage bags, so I'll take the opportunity
to say, I think the issue that you've raised with me several times is isn't
there a way that the Town could reduce the cost of the bags, or remove
them all together? Isn't that right? Indeed, I had hoped all year, that
there would be a way that we reduce those costs, because I have felt they
136 ocToBEr.
were too high, but, I believe in the principle of the garbage bags. In fact,
it was I, as much as anybody, who brought that principle to the town, and
saw that it was carried out. I had hoped there would be way that we could
reduce those costs. When I discovered the tax implications of the 1995, and
the conclusion, that with only a 1.9% increase spending in the Town, it
leverage out to a 12.4% increase in taxes, I just didn't feel that it would
be prudent, or in any way proper to reduce the cost of the bags, which
would have resulted in an even higher tax rate. So, it seemed to me, that
in my proposed budget for 1995, we would keep the price of the bags at the
same level they are now.
FRANK BARUTO: It's not the price of the bags alone. It's the problem
of the bags, why do we have to have the damn things in the first place?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: The reason for having them is to finance how
we're removing garbage in a reasonably fair, and equitable way.
FRANK BARUTO: I've got a better idea. Why can't we use our own
-bags. I already discussed this with Scott Harris before he left us. He
asked me, what would you rather do, pay more taxes? I said, yes. That
would be better than having to worry about these darn bags. They're a lot
of trouble. I have trouble opening them up, and putting garbage in them,
and everything else. First of all, why can't we use our own bags? Why do
we have to go out, and but them in the first place?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: There are other alternatives.
alternatives is to use your own bags, and have a tag system.
FRANK BARUTO: Right~ I suggested that.
One of the
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I'm with you on that, and I also proposed it, but
the rest of the Board at that time did not agree with it. We might revisit
that question. If you think that's a good idea, I'm prepared to review it,
again, within the Board, and continue same concept, but instead of yellow
bags, we could have tags to be affixed to the bags, and they could
basically have the same effect. We could take that up, but I have no
assurance how the Board is going to go with it, but there's no reason we
couldn't consider it.
FRANK BARUTO: Well, I think something should be done, because the
garbage thing has been a pain in the neck ever since it started. I don't
know why we have allowed this DEC, or whoever it is, that has prevented
us from using our own land, and putting garbage in the land, that we
have. I don't know why we have to suffer all this nonsense. First of all,
second of all, whatever, it was supposed to alleviate the tax problem. Now I
understand we're going to have another tax. What was the point? We have
a tax every year, every two years. It's got to step somewhere, and if the
bags aren't doing, and then the costs that is involve to have it shipped
out, I would say we should do something about our garbage right in this
town, never mind shipping it out. I think it's ridiculous, the whole set
up. Somebody's making money. I don't mean you, or anybody here, but
these companies, that are receiving the garbage, and nothing is going to
stop them from asking for double the next time, next year, two years. It
will never end.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: . I would be glad to introduce consideration on the
Board about changing from a bag system to a tag system. I'm not sure
where to go, but I'd glad to introduce some discussion about that in the
coming weeks.
FRANK BARUTO: Either that, or add it on the taxes. Don't give us any
other new taxes. We have enough. That's all.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Is there anyone else, who would like to address
the Board?
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin, Laurel. I don't know what resolution it
was, but what you were reading on the back here before we started about
the composting plant in Calverton, OMNI?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: There is no resolution for it.
FRANK CARLIN: I know, but said about forming a committee to study
about Southold going in with it?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: There is a Solid Waste Task Force, which has been
in existence now for some four years, and we are asking the Task Force to
have a look at that proposal, and make a recommendation to the Board.
FRANK CARLIN: So, there will be another task force?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: The Task Force already exists. It's been there for
four plus years.
FRANK CARLIN: It's time to get to the point. It's come down to the
nitty-gritty of this thing, when it comes to deciding to go in, I think the
Board should decide, and not all these committees to confuse you, llke the
Task Force we got here. Resolution 11 and 12, public hearings on signs,
and the one on lighting, you've going to have another public hearing signs
and lighting, again?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: We never had one.
FRANK CARLIN: What did we have here two months ago, when the place
was full here about signs?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: An informational meeting.
FRANK CARLIN: Oh, a informational meeting, now we got a public
hearing. I tell you, to solve this here problem here, if you're wondering
about the Riverhead garbage system is, and operated the way they do, we
wouldn't have no problem. I tell you, pay one fee a year, and have
everything picked up, you wouldn't have all this problem we got now, and it
would cost you practically the same, or even less.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: It would cost you a lot.
FRANK CARLIN: Why we have the yellow bag system, I agree with him,
it stinks.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM:
address the Board?
Thank you, Mr. Carlin.
Anyone else like to
PAUL SZPARA: Paul Szpara from Mattituck. Number three, resolution
number 3, for attend a seminar in Wordperfect shortcuts, I'm just curious
about that. How much that's going to cost, because there are other ways. If
it's a free seminar.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I'm not certain, but I think it's $150.00 to attend.
PAUL SZPARA: Even at that, that's with my experience with
Wordperfect, and other different software programs tike that, especially
word processing, and Wordperfect, is, one just this month P.C.
Computing, or one of those, I forget which one, came out with those
shortcuts in the magazine. I have it at home, especially for outlining
various other things. The other thing, those magazines offer vidoe tapes,
that you can purchase, and that will be in-house, that can be constantly
used, and they're only about forty-five bucks. Then they are always
around. I know once you usually purchase a video from them, and usually
it's put out by the companies themselves, that anytime there's any kind of
upgrade, or something, they also offer that to you at a discount, at a
discounted price. Shortcuts in Wordperfect, one I don't particularly care
of Wordperfect, I have both programs. I like another one instead, but if
Southold Town is going to go with Wordperfect, there's not that many
shortcuts offered. There are some in the outlying mode, and different
things. I don't think it warrants that price, just for one person to go,
unless that person is going to be the resource for other people. I would
rather see a video tape here, because you go these seminars, and yes, they
provide you with the information, they have a nice presentation, but
unfortunately, any of that stuff, you know, is a hands on thing. It's nice
to have a little manual, or a tape, and Practice as you're going through on
computer terminals. I can bring in magazines tomorrow for you. It's right
there, and it's self-explanatory in the magazine, and it offers a resource
for the person to actually play right then, and there. One hundred and
fifty dollars seems like an awful lot of money.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you. Anyone else, who would like to
address the Board on any matter to be taken up in the resolutions? (No
response.) If not, I can begin the first one.

not expected to have a significant effect on the environment,
Title of Action: Construction and Operation of a Yard Waste Composting
Facility.
SEQR Status: Unlisted
SUPERVISOR. WICKHAM: We can resume the reading of the resolutions
beginning with number 13.
Description of Action: The Town of Southold proposes to expand yard
waste composting operations at the site of the Southold Solid Waste Complex
on Middle Road (CR48) in Cutchogue, N.Y.
A Part 360 permit application to construct and operate a yard waste
composting facility at the site has been prepared to document the facility's
compliance with appropriate regulations and operational requirements.
In May 1990, the Town received authorization from the State to initiate
an exempt small scale yard waste composting operation for less than 3,000
cubic yards of leaves per year. The Town has been composting leaves since
receiving the May 1990 authorization. The proposed action will allow for
expansion of yard waste composting operations for the entire amount of yard
waste, exclusive of grass, generated in the Town. Approximately 9,000 tons
per year of leaves, mulch, brush, landclearing debris and wood chips
would be aerobically composted in windrows formed on a crushed stone pad
at the Town's solid waste complex.
Location: Middle Road (CR[t8), Cutchogue, Suffolk County, New York.
Reason Supporting this Determination: Expanding yard waste composting
operations at the site of the existing Southold solid waste complex is not
-expected to have a significant effect on the environment. This site has been
utilized for solid waste management for a number of years and the proposed
action would not result in significant environmental impacts. The expanded
yard waste composting operations would allow for the recovering and reuse
of a greater portion of the town's waste stream thereby increasing recycling
in the Town. The proposed composting operations to be performed in
accordance with Part 360 regulations, which are described in the Part 360
Engineering Report and Permit Application, are .expected to mitigate any
impacts that may result from the proposed action.

WHEREAS, the Suffolk County Water Authority has proposed purchasing and
operating the water supply system of the Cove Condominium in Bayview,
and
WHEREAS, residents of the Cove have expressed support for the SCWA
~acquisitlon because they would achieve a substantial reduction in water
,,.rates, and
~WHEREAS, the acquisition is subject to an approval by the Suffolk County
< Legislature which in turn seeks the view of the Town of Southold' now,
I-therefore be it '
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold has no objection to
the proposed sale to the SCWA supports it for the reasons mentioned
above.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I think that we ought to hold off on this, and
see if the points that Mr. Corwin has brought up pertain to this, so
perhaps we could table it.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I actually express some of the same points to
the Supervisor, when I heard about this. That I thought we should get the
Village's position before we move the resolution, and the Supervisor had
mentioned that he had gotten several letters, and went through the history
of the exorbitant fees, that were being charged by the current operator,
and the fact that Greenport did not want it. Even so, I know that
Greenport is embroiled in negotiations with the Water Authority, so I did
speak to the Mayor, and the Mayor told me, and this was without benefit of
a Village resolution, that he had no objection to this resolution. If you
want to hold it I'll be happy to hold it. I do think there's some immediacy
to their need, because they are being charged three or four times, even
what the Village is charging, $1,500.00 a year or something, and that's a
pretty high burden for these people to bear. As I said, I don't think the
whole Village Board has not been apprise of this resolution, but I know the
Mayor has, and he expressed no particular concern, that we were going to
put it on the agenda.

with finance, or legal matters, to do with the formation of the County. The

have an interest in it, and would like to have their views known, and

RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby rescinds
resolution no. 21, adopted on August 9, 199L~, authorizing the implementation
of a program for the distribution of Town Garbage Bags at Town Hall to
merchants who resell them, whereas the program has been found to be
ineffective and costly, and has been utilized by very few merchants.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: We tried an experiment at the request of some
merchants, who felt that going to Town Hall to pay for the bags, and then
moving on up to the Cutchogue transfer station to pick the bags up, was a
burden that they couldn't deal with, and so we experimented by having them
order bags ahead of time, pay for them here at the Town Clerk's Office,
and then the Landfill personnel would bring those bags here to the parking
lot, and they could pick them up on the same day that they paid for them.
Only about four or five merchants used them, and it was just felt that we
were using an awful lot of time, and employee time and effort, and it wasn't
worth it, so, we're scrapping the idea. It will continue in the regular way,
which is, you. come to the Town Clerk's Office, pay for the bags that you
want, and then proceed on to the transfer station to pick up the cartons.

30.-Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie,
WHEREAS the Town established the Southold Solid Waste Management District

WHEREAS the stated purpose of forming the District was to assure that all
solid waste-related revenues will be utilized to offset the costs of the
Town's solid waste program and to provide for a more orderly account of all
- solid waste-related revenues and expenditures; and
WHEREAS the Town has invested in certain equipment to operate the Landfill
and Transfer Station, which are now needed for operation of the District;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town of Southold hereby leases the equipment at the
Cutchogue Transfer Station, as more specifically described in Exhibit A
attached hereto, to the Southold Solid Waste Management District for a
period of ten years. Pursuant to this lease, the District shall have the
care, custody and maintenance of the equipment. At the satisfactory

land and improvements at the Cutchogue Landfill/Transfer Station to the
Southold Solid Waste Management District for consideration of $1.00, all 'n
accordance with the approval of the Town Attorney.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: As in the case of the foregoing resolution in which
equipment is still operating exactly the same way, but is nominally paid for
formerly through the Whole Town Budget, as a result of that resolution it
will now be financed through the Solid Wastes District, which is on the
North Fork of Long Island, and does not include Fishers Island. Similarly
the second resolution here will transfer, conveys the land and the
improvements, the structures at the Cutchogue Landfill, and the Transfer
Station, also, will proceed to be transferred to the Southold Solid
District for $1.00, and will be a charge and a responsibility to be looked
after by that District, rather than by the Whole Town Fund. It's simply a
transactional accounting change, that will have no consequence in terms of
the amount of monies, that are spent on those properties, and on those
equipment.

Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski,
Supervisor Wickham.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.

32.- Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Eva'ns, Councilwoman Oliva,
Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Liz~wski,
Supervisor Wickham.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
33.-Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Supervisor Wickham, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby creates a
Southold Town Activities Scholarship Program, to be used under the
Southold Town Recreation Activities Program, and allocates $5,000 for this
- scholarship program; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that before implementation of the scholarship program
guidelines shall be established, and shall be subject to the approval of the
Southold Town Board.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'd like to give an explanation. This Spring
we had the Youth Expo. A lot of good ideas came up. One of the ideas,
that was discussed then, and kicked around further by the Youth Support
Committee, which I chair, was a way to allow people, that have limited means
to participate in a lot of the activities, that we have in Southold Town,
that cost money. Be it piano lessons, or playing football, or softball, it
does cost money, and some people really have a rough time getting that
together. So, we developed a proposal by which we would create a
scholarship program for these activities. The tentative guidelines are some
people that qualify for a certain funding, the Section 80 housing has very
Iow income guidelines, for instance, would be eligible for a 75% grant for
the cost of their activity, as a scholarship provided they provide 25%
themselves, and this would become a voucher that we could give to the
activity. This was discussed at some length with the Town Board, and they
narrowed the scope somewhat to have it apply only to Southold Town
activities, those activities offered at the Recrea]tion Program, and, also,
to improve, .or perhaps broaden the income guidelines, which I'll work on,
and get back to them shortly. It does correspond with the original goal, I
think, that was stated by this Board, to get in there, and really use that
money that we have funded for youth group, and really see if we can have
a hands on approach to activities in this town, and have a direct benefit. I
think a program like this will not only benefit those people, that up until
now have been unable to participate, but also be a benefit to those
activities, that were denied that income.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: May I say something, too, along this line? This
resolution, as you've heard it, leaves some points unaddressed.
Eligibility is one of them. Eligibility will be based on income. Music,
art, ballet, riding lessons, karate, etc. are supplements to standard
educational requirements. If Southold Town fosters, and encourages,
scholarships for these activities, we can not in good conscience restrict
them to only one group of young people. Selection is another problem. It
was suggested earlier today, that scholarships will be awarded on a
first-come, first-serve basis, making the criteria promptness. I also have
strong objections to Southold Town advertising, promoting, and supporting
only certain private businesses, which is what will happen if we continue
with the scholarship ideas that now stand. It was proposed that after
initial Town funding, additional money will come from local service clubs.
Our service clubs already give scholarships, and other help. If they're
interested in further funding, they should make the arrangements, and the
decisions. The Town can be cooperative to the extent of providing space
and encouragement. I truly believe that young people are important now,
and important to our future. I'm anxious to help them, but I want to help
all young people, not just a few.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I wish we could afford .it.

This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I'll just mention that the Calverton Joint Planning
and Redevelopment Commission is a commission established by an act of
Congress, which gives the Town of Riverhead authority of the use of the
formerGrumman Facility, but subject to a governing board of, I think,
twelve or thirteen members, and Southold Town is given the opportunity to
appoint one of our members. That concludes the resolutions for tonight,
and now, it's an opportunity for members of the audience to address the
Board on any matter of their interest.
DAVID CORWIN: My name is David Corwin, and if the Town Board
would indulge me, I'd like to address the Budget. I realize it's not time
for the public hearing yet, but my experience is once it's down to the final
draft of the Budget, nobody wants to hear about any changes. I
understand the status is I don't think you've scheduled your public hearing
yet for the Budget, but it will be pretty soon, I imagine. One thing I want
to address is there was talk about closing the scalehouse at the dump on
Sunday to save the cost of having it staffed, and I have a small truck, and
I buy the littel permit, it's ten dollars, I don't know what it's going to
be next, but the only time it's convenient for 'a person like mayself to
collect the junk around the house, or do whatever little job you do around
the house, a~d bring it up to the dump, it's Saturday, or Sunday, and if
you're taking Sunday away from people, as a time to use that facility, I
think some people will be mad at you. So, I would ask you to rethink that
OCTOBER 18, 1994
167
one. The other one .I want to address is the Village of Greenport, and
including the Village of Greenport in Whole Town Highway. Last year, I
don't know, we probably paid in excess of $40,000. in Whole Town Highway
in the Village of Greenport. I don't think you have taken the Village of
Greenport out of Whole Town Highway. We just did our roads..the Village
Board did the roads, hired a contractor for $91,000.00. They put loose
stone down on the roads. In years past, what used to happen was the
Town Highway Department would come in with their equipment. They would
supply the sand out of the dump. The Village would supply the oil, and at
least we got something out of the taxes we paid to the Town of Southold for
our roads, I got to say to you all, more people from outside of the Village
use Village roads than people inside the Village go out, and use Town
roads. It clearly states in the New York State Town Law, I believe, that
you can put Village inside of Whole Town. That doesn't mean you have to
do it. You can do it, but you don't have to do it. The reason for that is
that some villages are landlocked, and the theory is you've got to go over
Town roads, you Should help pay for the Town roads. That's fair enough,
but the Village of Greenport has State Highway 25 running through it. Part
of State Highway 25 is, in fact, belongs to the Village, and has to be
maintain by the Village of Greenport, and the Village, also, has access to
County Road ~,8 through Village roads. So, to me, the argument that, well,
people in the Village have to use Town roads to get out of the Village,
doesn't hold much water. Needless to say the Village of Greenport has a
big concentration of Iow income people, of older people, of people, that are
just economically disadvantaged, and I really don't think it's fair for the
Town to take that $40,000, or whatever it's going to be this year out of the
Village, and not give any services back. At least give us some services
back. I wrote to you, Supervisor Wickham. I wrote to you, Councilman
Townsend, and I wrote to Superintendent Ray Jacobs, and asked you to
take this out of Whole Town Highway. I asked Superintendent Jacobs to
give us some services, if you don't take us out of Whole Town Highway. At
least, held us maintain the sidewalks, and roads. I ask you to give this
serious consideration, because basically what's going to happen is you're
going to squeeze Greenport, and squeeze Greenport, and it's going to die,
and you guys are going to have ali the headaches of Greenport, and I really
don't think you want the headaches of Greenport, when you see what goes
on there. I spoke with the foreman of the Highway Department of
Greenport, and apparently, the Superintendent of Highways is telling him,
well, we're going to start charging you to bring leaves into the Landfill.
Previously there's no charge, to my understanding, you'll all correct me if
I'm wrong, for the State to bring debris into the Landfill, fo~ the County,
or for the Village or Greenport. My understanding is the Village can still
bring in limbs, and brush, but not leaves. I'm just wondering if SUpervisor
Wickham, you are squeezing the Highway Fund. You: took out of there,
and said, we'll put it in the General Fund, and I'm just wondering if the
Superintendent of Highways is saying, well, look I have to make this up
someplace, I'll just squeeze Greenport a little more. I ask yOU all to very
seriously consider giving Greenport a little relief in terms of this Whole
Town Highway Fund. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM.' There's no secret that we are squeezing the
funds. There's no question about that. Whether that results in a squeeze
on Greenport, I think is another question. Is there any interest in the
Board addressing this question at some future time? We're obviously not
going to address it tonight, but is this an issue, that the Board would like
to take up?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Sure.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We'll put it on our agenda. It won't happen
tomorrow, but we will put it on a agenda. Anyone else like to address the
Board?
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin, Laurel. I want to correct two mistakes
I made at the last Board meeting. One was, I mentioned that when the
shopping center installed their own traffic lights, that the State charges
them $10,000 a month for maintenance. I was wrong on that. It's $1,000 a
month, around a $1,000 a month. I started out to say $1,000, and then I
s;aid $10,000. So, I want to correct that mistake I made on that one. The
second mistake I want to correct is that I mentioned about the North Fork
Animal Welfare League looking for property. I researched that quite closely
1,6 8 ,,,4
this time, and it's not the property. What they're looking for, I believe,
is to renew their lease. Now, back in May when they unveiled this
proposal, it was known then what they were going to do. They were going
to build this facility for $250,000, and at that time, Supervisor Wickham,
you said in the paper, and I quote, the concept is exactly the type of
thing, that the town should be moving towards. It was right in this paper
here. Now, then we go to September for the Board to consider the
proposal. Now, we're into September now. This happened in May. I called
you again when I saw the newspaper, and I have it here. I am pleased with
this plan, and I think it's i'n the right direction. Now, it's October.
Could I ask you a question, that you'll be able to answer me by saying that
I do know something about this, because the last meeting you said to me,
well, I just looked over this, and I'm not up to speed on it. But, in this
particular subject that I'm speaking on, I think the Board and you have
been aware of this since back in May. Now, can I ask you a simple
question? At least have you considered, or has the lease been renewed or
not for these people, at least, so they can get started on that? Has that
been done?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: No. There are two aspects to what they've
pr.oposed. One is a proposed contract by which they would build a new
building on Town property. The other is secondarily a lease, to continue
there that they have at the present time to be continued into the future.
The current lease extends until the 31st of December. Excuse me, the
contract to carry on those service carries on till the end of December.
Beginning I'm quite certain the Board will have prepared a position, we'll
have discussed with the League, and I am confident that we will have some
form of an extension. It might be different. Terms might be different.
There may be different~conditions, but I have every reason to believe that
they'll continue. The newspapers were basically correct. I am optimistic,
and I believe this is all in the town's interest to continue a contractual
relationship by which the League does many of the animal control duties in
this town. Does that address your question?
FRANK CARLIN: Pretty close to it. Why is it, if the proposal considered
in September, it wasn't..?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I think the proposal that the papers are referring
to is the building.
FRANK CARLIN: I'll say, but they're looking for any kind of help, that
the Town can give them.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: They in the Town will be negotiating the .terms of
this relationship. They've made a proposal to us. The Town has looked at
it. We've had several discussions about it. Two weeks ago, I think it was,
Councilwoman Hussie asked to be relieved of that particular
responsibility. Councilman Lizewski and I will be coordinating the Town's
response to the League's propOsal. In fact, I've given Councilman
Lizewski, just today, my suggestions. He and I will get our heads
together in the next few days, and I imagine we'll be discussing with the
League, and I'm very hopeful, and pleased to move ahead with this
important project.
FRANK CARLIN: It's very important, and, again, I respect the North
Fork Animal Welfare League for what they're doing with these animals, and
you know, if this continues on after December, and everything is okay,
start to move, you know, within maybe the end of this year, they could
have the building up. It would be nice, because right now the dogs are in
a pathetic operation there. This is food for thought. In Southold Town in
Laurel, on the borderline there, there's a sign that says, Southold Town.
That confuses tourism. They stop at my place in the summer, and they
come to me, or even truck drivers, they come to me say, am I in Southold
Town? No, you're not in Southold Town, you're in Laurel. Southold town
is eight miles up. They get confused. That sign should read Southold
Township. It gets confused. Many people stop, and they're really not in
Southold. Southold is eight miles up the road. You're in Laurel. That can
fool people. It would fool you if you're driving, and you never drove in
this area before. That sign, in my opinion, should say Southold Township.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM.' Ought to hang a little sign under it, Frank,
entering the Village of Laurel.
FRANK CARLIN: Entering the Village of Laurel, something, or a sign
saying, Southold Town, Village eight miles ahead. Whatever. Another
congratulation I'd like to give out tonight. I'd like to give credit where
it's due. This time I'd like to give it to the Tax Assessors of Southotd
Town. I think they did a nice job ~n working with the State in getting our
equalization tax rate increased from 2.46 to 2.78. Now, what this means is
that our total assessment represents 2.78% of the Town's total value, not
2.49, which also means that it could mean a little reduction in our County
taxes, not too much, b~t a little bit. But, most of all, it can help the
State with their funding, increased into our schools, because your
equalization is high enough. That makes it a possibility of a school will
receive a little more State aid. I think they did a good job on that, and
I'd like to congratulate them for doing that. It's very good. It's good to
see that there are some people that are working to get our taxes down. A
question, is the Town Board considering in their Budget this year, a salary
increase?
SUPERVISOR WlCKHAM: The question ts, is the Board considering the
salary increase this year? I guess you mean for the 1995 Budget?
FRANK CARLIN: In this Budget for 1995.
SUPERVISOR WlCKHAM: The Budget proposal that I made to the Town
Board for Board consideration has no increase in salaries for the Town
Board, the Supervisor, the Planning Board, the Trustees, or the Zoning
Board.
FRANK CARLIN: But, you had one for last year, right?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I don't think so.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: No, there was none last year.
FRANK CARLIN.' You'd better check on that one. I think you did.
couNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: Not for three years, Frank.
FRANK CARLIN: You didn't get one for three years? I don't believe it.
I want to see that in writing. I don't think so.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Call me tomorrow, and I will have a chart.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We're not getting rich, Frank.
FRANK CARLIN: I'm not saying that, but the answer to Councilwoman
Hussie's question, I think she mentioned the raise in Riverhead. Riverhead
is getting a raise this year, but Riverhead Town Board hadn't had a raise
in two years, and they're taking a 3% raise, I believe, it is, which I think
is reasonable. Tom, I missed the public meeting on the Greenport Police
takeover. Can I comment a few things on that?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: This is the opportunity, if you could just keep it
brief.
FRANK CARLIN: I'll try to keep it as brief as I can, and I went to
another meeting, and I couldn't make it. I was here, and it was over
with. This summer I took a drive through Southold Town on a Sunday
afternoon. It was about six o'clock, and I drove through Southold, and I
noticed one person walking on the street, on the sidewalk in Southold. That
was six o'clock. I proceeded on to Greenport. Boy, that place was jumping.
People were all over the place, Main Street, all over. What I'm trying to
get at here is there was no way that one Police Officer is going to handle
Greenport, especially in the summertime. There's no way. Now, I want to
say something. It's my own opinion now. I have a way I could solve this
thing one, two, three. One, two, three, no messing around, one, two,
three, and I'll tell you what it is, and see how you like it. tf Greenport
wanted us to take over their Police Department, here's my idea of doing it.
See how you like it. You take the the nine Police Officers. Here we go.
You take the nine Police Officers. You transfer them to Southold Police, but
you take the Budget, which is what, $800,000 or $900,000, and you transfer
that to Southold Police. Now, you're back where you started, but you still
have your Police Department. You don't need a Chief. You don't need a
Sergeant, and you don't need anymore Detectives. I can't see, if this ever
happened, us in Southold paying any more taxes, if this was to happen.
This way you're just taking the Budget, you're shifting it over, you still
got your Police Department, you got your Police take the cars, and
everything, and it's no problem. That's my opinion of how I would do it.
But, let me leave you with one thing, Tom, about a Budget. You're going
to have a public Budget meeting, right?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We have a series of meetings with the Board, and
when the Board agrees, on a Budget, it will go to public hearing late this
month.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: The hearing will be, I believe, November 3rd, if
that's a Thursday. I think it's the 10th. I'm sorry. It's the following
- week. It's the Thursday following the General Election. (Tape change.)
FRANK CARLIN: I'll leave you with another thing, Tom and the Board,
you know to bring down a large tree takes more than one swing of an axe.
Think about that.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We'll keep that in mind, Is there anyone else who
would llke to address the Town Board tonight? (No response.) Any Board
members?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE': I would like to just clarify something in response
to what Mr. Corwin said concerning costs at the dump, or expenses at the
dump, or fees at the dump. Presently the .State, the County, and the
Village all pay for anything chargeable at the dump. You mentioned that
they got in free, They do not. Everybody pays.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: The Superintendent no longer controls the
regulations at the Landfill.
DAVID CORWIN: Can I just speak to that point? I did speak to Mr.
Bunchuck. I don't want to get him in trouble. Anything that's chargeable
I assume my mean garbage, a bag of garbage. My understanding with my
conversation with him, and maybe I was mistaken, maybe I didn't understand
him, was that the State and the County bring in limbs, and stuff like that,
and are not charged.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: They are charged if they are, I think, over
three inches in diameter, and any C&D, and anything like that. Leaves and
little twigs are not chargeable to you, or to anybody else, but the larger
things are.
DAVID CORWIN: My understanding is, maybe it's not Ray Jacobs'
responsibility, but apparently he told' the foreman of the Greenport Highway
they were going to start charging for leaves. Obviously there's some
unknowns here, and need for discussion.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I think the key point, that has to be made it is,
that the Town is treating Greenport at least as fairly as the State, and the
County, or any municipality. Any other Board member who would like to
make a comment, or add anything to tonight's meeting? (No response.) If
not, I'm ready for a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Justice Evans, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 9:05
P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva,
Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizew~ki,
Supervisor Wickham.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
