had been engaged to prepare an Operation and Maintenance Evaluation report for
the facility, Merlon Wiggin, Peconic Associates, Inc., Greenport Village Mayor William
R. Pell, III, Jerry Hicks, and James Monsell, Superintendent of Utilities for the
Village. Mr. Wagner discussed the evaluation report, presenting a project overview,
description of the facility, and evaluation of the facility. Mr. Wiggin addressed the
management of the plant. Mr. Wagner also addressed management and proposed
employee training. He presented short-term recommendations to replace the
equalization tank pumps and procure laboratory equipment at a cost of approximately
$13,000, including engineering costs. The long-term recommendations include
replacement and modification measures amounting to substantial capital, labor and
engineering costs. Following a discussion of the options, Town Attorney Arnoff

of the proposed replacement of equipment. Mayor Pell recommended a meeting at
the DEC offices to discuss the needed approvals for the improvements -all agreed.

something that is career minded, when it domes to all Police Officers. We wish
them the best of luck as a Board, and at this time, would you come down, Chief,
and if you would present them with their Shields, and certainly their stripes.

Clark.

In his footsteps, and it gives me pleasure to give this badge to Joe to present

the great work, that you are doing. On behalf of the whole Town Board, we'd
like to congratulate everyone on your force, and many years of success ahead.
I, also, have a letter from Joseph Sawicki, which I'm going to read in a minute
into the record, on behalf of his brother, who is a State Assemblyman. He has
sent down a letter, which I will read. This is from Honorable Joseph Sawicki,
Jr., Assemblyman First District Suffolk County. Dear Scott, I sincerely regret
not being able to attend the ceremonies scheduled for this afternoon, when you
and the Town Boa.rd will officially promote my brother Bill to the rank of Sergeant
of the Southold Town Police Department. I would greatly appreciate it, if you
wou d convey my most heartfelt congratulations personally to him, and to my family,
and indeed, I am most proud of him, as he has truly attained a lifetime goal. I
know, too, that he will make the entire town proud as well. Again, I would love
to be there with all of you, but as you know, I must be here in Albany, and
work towards towards the final adoption of the New York State Budget. Thanks
again, for taking the time to convey: my congratulations to my brother William.

IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
V. RESOLUTIONS.
None
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, I'd like to go out to the audience. If there's
any members of the audience, that would like to address this Town Board on any
resolution, that we will be entertaining in the next few minutes. Please come
forward and state your name for the record.
BETTY BROWN: My name is Betty Brown, and I'm President of the North Fork
Environmental Council. I just heard at the last moment, that you might be voting
on the resolution on home occupations. Is that correct?
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Yes, it's on for a vote this afternoon. Yes.
BETTY BROWN: And it's going to voted on the way it was presented at the public
hearing?
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, what the resolution states right now, as
it's being presented in its entire form as was stated on the public hearing. Yes.
BETTY BROWN: Did the Board have an opportunity to explore the reasons that
other towns did not choose to include tradespeople in their laws? That was a
request of the Environmental Council.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: The Board deliberated this morning, as a matter of fact,
on this with many avenues of pursuit, including the public hearing, and certainly
what was offered at that public hearing was also discussed, inclusions, deletions,
and so on, and the Board said they would put it up for a vote as it exists now,
to see to poll the Board basically tonight. If this body feels it should be passed,
it ~7ould do so. If not, then it will go back to the drawing board, and it will
be resubmitted again at a future date.

APRIL 9, 1991
BETTY BROWN: I would like to comment that the public, and certainly it's within
the law, that the public only had five days to comment, present to you their ideas,
or their criticisms of this amendment at the public hearing. I realize that that's
within the law, but that is really not enough time for the public to buy the news-
paper, read the newspaper, get some kind of thoughts together in order to come
and make positive critical presentation. I would like to ask you to look into'that,
and possibly expand that to two weeks. The procedure in Riverhead, where it
gives people a lot of opportunity to get together with their questions, find out
if maybe these are good things or bad things, and get reactions. Five days,
you can't even find some people. I would like to ask you to do that for future
public hearings. I'd like to ask you to table this amendment in order for people
to have a little bit more time to comment. I don't believe that anybody knows
that your voting on this today. I believe that it will be a real surprise. It's
not even listed under resolutions here, and that certainly would appropriate,
TOWN CLERK TERRY: It's on the new agenda.
must have an old agenda.
It's on an updated agenda. You
BETTY BROWN: Another comment I wanted to make was, I attended the public
hearing. Lots of people had lots of detrimental valid comments. I'm surprised
at you, that you actually voted on the public hearing, the amendment of the
public hearing, five minutes after people came forward and brought their comments
to you. They were very, very valid comments about 25 foot vehicles in the drive-
ways. What that could lead to, or what that looks like, or all kinds of things,
that I thought perhaps you were going to investigate, and you voted to do it
five minutes after those folks came up and brought that forward. Obviously there
were some reservations. Obviously there was some thought, and I can imagine
thinking about what somebody sa~d to me, arid voting on it five minutes later, l'd
like to bring that for your consideration.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Betty, Councilman P~nny would like to address that at
this time.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I think I made it clear at the public hearing, that particular
provision of law already existed in our Town Code, and we did not change it one
iota. We changed i~ to say that vehicles could not be parked anywhere on the
lot,-but must be parked in the driveway.
BETTY BROWN: Well, perhaps after all of the wonderful comments that came
forward you might want to lessen that number of feet, and with the comments
you would have had an opportunity to do that, because you voted right away,
you cou dn't. My last comment I wanted to make, under Section 100-31c-a, no
display of goods is visible from the street, and I'm wondering why from the .street
is included there. It seems to me that what people could see from the street,
people often can see from the sideyards, the neighbors. I don't know that
neccessarily if it should be no goods should be on the premises, perhaps sheltered
by some kind of fencing, or shrubbery. It seems that that should be carefully
taken care of, so that neighbors are not offended by goods being seen from their
yards. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Is there anyone else?
RONNIE WACKER: My name is Ronnie Wacker. I'm speaking in support of Betty's
statement with the NFEC, and for myself, my experience has been, when I first
heard of it, I thought this is a good idea, because. . particularly for the baymen,
who have traditionally worked from their house. I think that this is something
that we should encourage, and it's i'mportant because they obviously can not afford
to get a private space, but then this is what I find curious. It's really enough. I
spoke to Frank Flynn about it. I think this is right. I tend to think more about
it the occupations. Right now, I think it wouldn't create any problems, but who
knows but down the road, you know five years or ten years from now, what the
problems will be, if other tradesmen or companies even came out, and set up shop
at their homes. I 'think that we have to think about it a little more carefully.
I think that a 25 foot truck is a fairly sizable vehicle, and that's my point, is five
days not being quite enough. It took me, maybe I'm just a slow learner, it took
me a long time to figure that this has more problems than meets the eye, and
we hope you will table this resolution, so that you might have more time to study,
and perhaps make an exception, as they do all the time, because this is what
immediately copied into this resolution.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: On behalf of the Town Board, this is the first recycling
facility, that has been permitted by the Board in the Town of Southold. We wish
them much luck, and continued success in this endeavor. Recycling is mandatory
now, in the town, in the residential sector, and as we preceed down the solid
waste issues in years to come, we know that recycling centers like the one we
just permitted today, will be the wave of the future, so that eventually our landfill
will no longer be accepting C & D materials, so that local vendors, local tradesmen,
will be able to use these facilities without traveling out of town, and like I say,
on behalf of the Town Board we wish them great success with this operation.

COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: May I comment at this time? After reviewing the public
comments for the Local Law presented before us, I find that Local Law No. 10
provides a strict regulatory framework to ensure the economic viability of baymen,
and tradesmen without altering our rural landscape, and at the same time will
maintain integrity of residential areas. I feel without action by the Southold Town
Board our capacity to sustain the viability and traditional quality of life for indepen-
dent working men in Southold Town will be severely strained. This amendment
to the home occupation law merely legitamizes the effort of hard working taxpayers,
and may I add, without the additional burden often associated with commercialization
of the rural intrastructure. We are not a bedroom community of New York City,
nor do we intend to be, and unlike the Indians in Dances with Wolves, were a
misconstrued theory of progress eliminated a way of life, this Board has taken
noteworthy steps to support the work ethic, that has been the backbone of Southold
Town. Thank you, Scott.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I wish I could second Ellen's comments.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I'll second Ellen's comments, and just as a response
to both Betty and Ronnie, I think that if they had some specific comments to make,
that the Code might be amended, that perhaps if they were to address their comments
to the Legislative Committee, and there is validity, perhaps we could take that up.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Before I cast my vote, I'd just like to make a couple of
comments, and that ~s in relation to some of the comments being made about the
reason for proposing this local law, which Ellen expressed very eloquently. I
resent the nature of some of the comments, that were directed personally against me,
· both in letters to the editor, and in the public forum, because they completely
missed the mark all together. There is more to Southold Town than personality
attacks. We are protecting.the rural character of this area, and we are protecting
the rural tax base of this area, and we have taken into consideration all of the
citizens, because 'believe you me, when you drive all of these people out of their
homes, there will be services available to people in Southold Town at a reasonable
price. If you think prices are high enough now, drive every tradesmen, every
baymen, everybody that has a home occupation into a commercial zone, and watch
what the bills are. Your other answer is when they can't afford this, they'll have
to move to another town, and I don't want to do that to Southold Town. This
is not Suburbia. This is a rura community, and believe you me, this is one bill
that will help it stay that way. I would, also, like to thank the Supervisor, who
was a co-sponsor of this bill, lobbied very, very strongly in all of our committee
meetings for the baymen. He was instrumental in getting this bill off the ground,
and I applaud his efforts also, because he, as everybody knows, has had a great
background in working the bays, and the sound in this area. I'm sure he will
add something to this. I think the efforts, that we've done here is done more
to protect the rural character of this area, than any piece of legislation to date,
and my vote is obviously yes.
APRIL 9, 1991
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I would like to also finish up by saying, I applaud, and
I congratulate this Town Board, and this administration for continuing the rural
heritage of this township, that made and makes Greenport, and not o~ly the village
of Greenport, which is a fishing port, but the Town of Southold, which was founded
in 1640, 351 years ago. We're going to continue those traditions. The baymen
have certainly been something that's been close to my heart, being born and raised
by the water. My father was a yacht captain, before he deceased a couple of
years ago. I can tell you that this going to go a long way to help perserve that
heritage of Southold Town when it comes to the baymen. When it comes to the
little person working in this Town it's very important, that a man or a woman
that works out of his house, and not work in the house with a trade, because there
is no manufacture by this law within the home at all. This is strictly allowinq them
to havre an office. That that one person or two person business with one truck
will be able to continue in this town~ and not be forced out, as was stated by
the previous members of this Board. I congratulate them, and this certainly is
a big step forward for Southold Town on April 9, 1991.

COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I'd like to make a couple of comments. I'd like to refer
to two information meetings scheduled for next week. One of them is on Tuesday,
the 16th, at 7:30 P.M. here. That's in this room. The subject is on the proposed
use for agricultural purposes of the reserved areas in cluster subdivisions. This
information meeting is being put on jointly by the Planning Board of the Town
of Southold, and the Planning and Zoning Committee. The purpose of the hearing
is..it's not literally a hearing, the purpose of the information meeting is to present
a rather novel idea of~a way that will promote agricultural use in areas that currently
are left open in cluster subdivisions. The Town Code of the Town of Southold
specifically provides for agriculture as one of the preferred uses of that open
space, but to date there has been no agriculculture at all, to my knowledge,
performed on any those open spaces. So the meeting is designed to discuss, and
to listen to comments in reaction from the town on that idea. On Thursday the
18th of April, as the Supervisor mentioned earlier, there is another information
meeting. That information meeting will be held at 3:00 o'clock, and repeated again
at 7:30 in the evening for those people who find it more convenient to come at
one of the other times. The purpose is to discuss the ways in which the Town
might finance the mandates for handling garbage, if and when we fall under the
full impact of the law. As I think most of you know, the Town through a legal
action, that we and Riverhead, and Easthampton towns have filed, are still permitted
to use our landfill in the way we've used it for many years. The Courts may
at some stage find in favor of the DEC, in which case we will be incurring major
costs. The purpose of this information meeting next Thursday is not to discuss
how we're going to deal with our garbage, where it will go, whether it would be
incinerated, or all of the other questions with a plan. The question is very narrow.
How is the Town going to finance costs on the order of $4,000.00 per day, which
will be incurred if we have to follow the State mandates, or when we have to follow
it? That is the purpose. We have severat concepts. The Task Force, the Solid
Waste Management Task Force of the Town, is sponsoring this meeting to discuss
several options. One of the options, which the newspapers have already discussed
is the notion of paying for garbage by the individual bags, that are picked up,
and there will be other options discussed. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you, Tom. Are there any other members of the
Board? (No response.) If not, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilman Penny, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 4:45 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Latson,
Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
