Why don't I start with Councilwoman Latson, and we'll go right down the dais? COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: Thank you, Scott. I'd just like to report to the Town Board on the first Youth Advisory Board meeting, which was held last week. As most of us know Southold Town is a wonderful place to live, and to raise our children, but through the years many people, adults and children, have wondered what we can do to effectively entertain the youth in our community, and provide adequate recreation, and creative outlets for their energy. Recently, the Southold Town Board has appointed a twenty-five member Youth Committee to look into this situation in Southold Town. What we propose to do is need assessment, which basically will tell us what the needs of the youth, there are in the town, what the needs of the professionals are in the town, and what existing services we have available to us now, what we may want to do in the future. We were fortunate at our first meeting to have a gentlemen by the name of Mr. Thomas Williams, whose the Youth Director for the Town of Brookhaven, come and speak to us. Mr. Williams has been involved with the Youth Bureau in Brookhaven for fifteen years. He was an original member of their Needs Assessment Committee, and almost single-handedly he was the coordi- nating body of a contract agency, so we were very fortunate to have the availability ~ of his expertise at the meeting. Some of the things, that were discussed were youth employment programs, DWI programs, peer leadership weekends, students together against racism, a youth magazine for children, the acceptability to school buildings for the youth, and the committee will be meeting on a monthly basis, over probably a one year period to provide a final report to the Town Board. We're, also, interested in interfacing as much as possible with the business community to provide business services to the kids, who need it, and we were also made aware that there was recently a Community Service A~ctpassed in 1990, sort of an alternate to the military National Peace Corp for kids, that will provide funding to towns, who participate in these programs. We talked about mentor programs, like Big Brother, and Big Sister, that currently being promoted by Albany, and knowledge that business acknowledging that family violence can, also, contribute to lose tax dollars. We've also, become aware that alcohol can contribute to lose dollars in business, and family violence is something that will be increasingly focused on for public educa- tion. Ail and all I think the committee members came away with a positive feeling for their first meeting, and I'll be reporting to the Town Board from time to time on our progress. Also, I had the opportunity on Friday night to attend a informational meeting for Town officials on the National Estuarian Program. The National Estuarian Program has been in effect since, I believe, the late 70's to provide Federal funding for bays and estuaries, that risk from pollution. Currently areas like Buzzard's Bay, Narragansett Bay, the Chesapeake Bay, and San Francisco Bay, among others participate in the National Estuary Program, which contributes federal monies to the local jurisdictions for them to come up with a comprehensive management plan for their estuary. As a result of the Brown Tide CQmp Study, ~-~ the Brown Tide Comprehensive Management Plan, that was funded by the State of i New York, and the DEC, when the Brown Tide began, to study the cause and the L! contr'ibuting factors to the Brown Tide. The Peconic Estuary has been put on the nominating list for funding. Some local officials in the various towns have expressed concern, that like the landfill law, the National Estuary Program will lead to further mandates from the Federal Government to the town. The purpose of this meeting was to explain to the participants from various governments, that there would be no wretching away of local control should we choose to participate in this program. 299 JANUARY 22, 1991 On the contrary, it would local government the opportunity to fit with agencies from the EPA, the DEC, the Department of State, all the agencies that legally can have jurisdiction over these areas, and work with the Town first to come up with a local management plan. My personal feeling is that we share the Peconic Bays. What one town does on the Bays effects another, and that a regional approach is the most intellectually appealing way to work together to insure the viability of the Bay. I found the meeting interesting. I appreciated the opportunity to attend. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, we'll break away from the dais, and our reports from our various legislators. We'll now go into the public hearings, which are scheduled for 8:90 o'clock. I need a motion for that. Moved by Councilwoman Latson, seconded by Councilman Wickham, it was RESOLVED that a recess by called at this time, 8:00 P.M. for the purpose of holding a public hearing. ' Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Latson, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. Reconvened at 8:20 P.M. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: l'd like to, before we continue with Councilmen reports, move on a couple of the public hearings that we had tonight. One of them, being the East-West Greenport Fire Protection contract. 31'.-Moved by Councilman Penny, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby authorizes and directs Supervisor Scott L. Harris to execute an agreement between the Town of Southold and the Village of Greenport for the "East-West Greenport Fire Protection District, Town of Southold, New York," for the period of five (5) years commencing on January 1, 1991 and ending on December 31, 1995; the Village to receive the following sums for the years so indicated: 1991 - $118,000; 1992 - $126,000; 1993 - $134,000; 1994 - $142,000; and 1995 - $150,000. 31.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wiokham, Councilwoman Latson, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, we'll go out to those members of the audience. Is there any member of the audience, that would like to address the Board on any matter.~ Yes. MARY JACKSON: Mary Jackson. Southold. I was curious to know how the Board is going to progress now, that the injunction has been lost with the DEC? What plans are there regarding the landfill now? SUPERVISOR HARRIS: What has happened there, Mary, and let me just speak for the Board. The injunction, even thoughit.~s off for a brief moment in time, was stayed again by the Appellate Division, and we are still under a restraining order to continue the landfill, while the case is being heard now in the Appellate Division, Appellate Court, a second division in Brooklyn, and that's where we are right now. All the East End towns are in the Appellate Division, and now are awaiting decision of that panel. It was filed last Thursday, and a day after the Judge from the Supreme Court had made his ruling of the temporary restraining order was put back in place on the DEC, continuing our landfill, and filling legally, as well as the other towns. Why don't we proceed ahead. Councilwoman Oliva, do you have any statements you'd like to make at this time? COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Just to say that the rest of us are still going to different meetings. We were very pleased, I think, to interview thirty candidates for the ZBA, and I must say, as a whole they were all really excellent candidates. It was a pleasure that they took the time, effort, and trouble to apply for this position. Of course, we've been busy going to Code Committee, Solid Waste Task Force, Planning and Zoning, etc., etc. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Deputy Supervisor George Penny. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Thank you, Scott. On behalf of the Supervisor, I attended the County meeting, which Ellen mentioned earlier on the National Estuary Program, and I brought back some comments, which were carefully documented by the Town of Southampton, that I think very clearly spelled out the concerns of a lot of us out here on the East End, and when you looked at the configuration of the manage- ment team, that would be in place once the National Estuary Program was put in place, they Find out that the five East End towns would only have about 45% of the voice, f a vote ever came up, and there's a fear of not beinq able to control our own destiny. Fred Thiele, who is the Suffolk County LegislatOr, did an excellent job. He's trying to get everybody together, because if we don't have all of the five East End towns involved in this program, we're probably not going to get recognition through the EPA, so it's very important that this compromise be reached. Southampton tried to ma'ke a point, that they would like see a management team comprising of just the five East End towns, but they were pretty much reassured that the EPA would not follow through on this, if it was strictly the five East End towns, so there will be representatives from the DEC, the EPA, the Department of State, the Department of Health Services, and a couple of other groups. But Fred Thiele forwarded today to us, his proposal to include some of the member villages, specifically the village of Sag Harbor, the village of Greenport, and the possibly the village of Dering Harbor, which would bring the local control level up to probably closer to 60%, which the towns, that have not gone in support of this program so far may find a lot more palable, and I think it's an excellent move on Legislative Thiele's part to keep this rolling on a very worthy cause. Our Legislative Committee has been meeting religiously. We're finalizing a two year attempt to revamp a peddling ordinance, which will be coming out in it's, hopefully, final, third final draft, draft copy,, for everybody very shortly, and also, we'll be preparing a draft revision of the home occupation section, which will allow people to exist in their homes, and to operate their small type businesses, which will be clearly spelled out in the Code, similar to tradesmen, and baymen, and electricians, and carpenters, under certain conditions, -so that they will actually be legalized and they won't be living in fear, that if a neighbor complains, they're going to thrown out, but that will coming around very shortly, and there will be more on that. I received a call from Mer]on Wiggin, who is working with Cameron Associates on our Scavenger Treatment Plant report that we had authorized several weeks ago, and he assures me that a draft will be coming out very shortly, which he will be forwarding to us in a draft form. We'll probably set up a meeting between myself and member of the Village of Greenport, just to briefly review the draft, and once I've seen it I'll have more to report back to the Town. Thank you. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Councilman Wickham? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I'll just mention very briefly the activities of the Task Force. Tonight we had a hearing about residential recycling, something that the Task Force recommended some months ago. We're turning our_ attention now to recycling of commercial products, the kinds of products that people put in these big dumpsters parked here anc~ there in the town, and we feel that material could also be recycled, and we're going to address how to do it in ways-that make sense and are least costly to the Town, and to the establishments that produce that material. We're, also, looking at questions of how to enforce these laws on recycling. Ruth read in the public notice the various sanctions that the law holds, but it's not going to be easy to enforce them. The cooperation of the people in the town is going to be required, and we're looking at exactly how to bring about compliance and enforcement within the town. There are questions about financing of garbage management, and how we're going to pay for it in the town, the different options. The Task Force is reviewing those different options, and at some stage may have some recommendations to make, but at this stage does not. The Supervisor has already summarized quite accurately and quite well the status of the legal state, that the Town is in with the DEC, and I won't go into that. The Planning an'd Zoning Committee has met every other week, also, and the last time we met we took up the question, that the North Fork Environmental Council brought to the Board, and which the Board asked the Committee to look at, and that is basically to see whether or not a review of the business district in Mattituck, and perhaps throughout the Town of Southold should be undertaken with a view to see if those businesses and the plans that they adopt are in keeping with the quality of the Town, the way we want to see it, and in-terms of a long range development plan for the Town. At our meeting we visited with a consulting firm, which did a very nice plan for Riverhead Town, within Wading River, and that is in a sense a model of what could be Clone here, also, and we found a lot of interest in it, and the possibility of applying some of those principles to the town. Thank yo.u, Scott. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Judge Edwards? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Regarding our garbage on Fishers Island, the Fishers Island Garbage District today met with their consulttn-g' engineer, and theiP architect from Connec,ticut, along with the Connecticut carting company, and it was presently taking our recycables off the Island, and the meeting on Fishers I'sland, that was held today, I haven't got any report back from it, but mainly what it was for was to get the permitting, the site plan, squared away, for a transfer station on Fishers Island, and they plan to start hauling garbage off the Island when that transfer station is in place, which will sometime towards the end of the summer. The garbage will be taken over to the Connecticut shore. There are three, or four, options until the final option is a incinerator being built in Preston, Connecticut, which is about twenty miles from New London, and that is a garbage to energy plant. I gave newspaper articles to all of the Councilpeople. The New London Day printed a full page, sort of any informational dit on the incinerator, and we're going ahead with that. Once the garbage is being hauled off the island, then the Fishers Island Garbage District is going to approach the Town for tax relief, because the taxpayers of Fishers Island pay into their own garbage district. At the same time they pay into the Cutchogue Landfill of which they have no use for, and they've been doing that probably for the past twenty years or so. Another thing, that I've been very diligently working at, is here in New York State, the Senior Citizens have a drug program, EPIC, I believe it's called, where prescription drugs are available to the seniors in New York at a very moderate cost. On Fishers Island, 95% of our drugs are brought in, prescription drugs that is, are brought in from the Medicine Shop in New London, and so that being across state lines the Ethics Organization would not honor this. But, last March a bill was passed stating that anyone in a cot[nty of less than 500,000 can go across state Fines, and this was made for some of the smaller towns up on the Vermont border, and Pennsyvania border. But, of course, that let us out on Fishers Island, because Suffolk Count7 is more than 500,000. So if any communications list Mr. LaValle, and Mr. Sawicki, and they're going to be working on a bill in Legislature where Fishers Island residents will be allowed to use the Medicine Shop in New London for their senior citizen prescription drugs. The only other comment, getting back to the stinky garbage mess again, is the Department of Environmental Conservation stopped the one septic hauler, that w'e have on Fishers Island from using the open lagoon system for disposing of spoil, and the one contractor, that is involved in pumping septic tank has put in a i~olding tank on Fishers Island, which holds a couple thousand gallons of septic sludge, and then when they pump out a tank, they'll put it in the holding tank, and then when it's to the point where it needs pumping, they will bring over a hauler from Connecticut to take it off the Island, plus the cost of this through the people on the Island is about 40 cents a gallon, which is a lot of money, but at least we have a way to get rid of the sludge, and it's off the island. Thank you, Scott. SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Long Island Cablevision System. They are now going to be covering the Town Board meetings again, for the viewers at home. They'll be able to see the Town Board in action, and to see exactly what is transpiring on a daily basis by the members for you as taxpayers. I'd also like to congratulate Tom Dolan, who is the new General Manager of the Riverhead Cablevision System, Inc. Tom comes with a lot of experiencef and I wish him much success. I'd, also, like to take this time to say, hello, t~ my wife, who I rarely see, and while I have this opportunity I'm going to say, hello, to her, and after 70 and 80 hours a week, the only time she'll probably see me is on this show, which is being aired. With that, I'd like to say to everybody, may God bless, and as I said before, we're in total support of our troops, obviously, overseas, our military, our personnel. We're asking everybody certainly to put the yellow ribbons out to show that support for our local, as well as national military men and women, and hope for a speedy war so that we can return back once again and stride for worldwide peace. With that, I'd like to make a motion to adjourn. Moved by Councilwoman Latson, seconded by Justice Edwards, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 8:35 Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Latson, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. /~' Judith T. Te~..P.y Southold Town Clerl~'
