I would just like to say, I'm very pleased that we were able to make these
designations within the centennial year. As you know, in order to be designated
as a historic house, or building, you must apply for the designatiory and the
register: is kept here at the town, and we are always encouraging people to apply,
to let us go out, examine the houses, and have them get onto the Town Register.
of historic places, so please, spread the word around, because,-we'd like to try
and get some more houses on here. Thank you, very much.
ALICE HUSSEY: I'd like to say a few words on behalf of the Officers, and the'
Trustees, and the members of the Southold Historical Society. We're very delighted
with this designation of landmark status, and we do want to express our appreciation
to the Town for all of it's cooperation in that endeavor, as others, especially the i
Bayview Schoolhouse. We're very pleased to have that on our grounds. We,
also, want to thank the Park Department, the Southold Town Board, the United
States Coast Guard for the help that they gave to us in restoring the light on
the tower in the lighthouse, and also, making the tower accessable to the public,
and as far as the Schoolhouse is concerned, I think you might be interested to

you.

I'd like to congratulate the Landmark Preservation Commission for the job well
done for the year, preserving and providing historic places in Southold for
recognition for all the public to enjoy, and behalf of the Town Board and the
people of Southold Town, we thank you from -the bottom of our heart. I'd like
to give them a round of applause. The members; who are here, of course, are
Bill Peters, Joy Bear, and John Stack. Ralph Williams, and Joe Townsend, .who
are unavailable. Thank you very much. At this time, Ed Dart, you're the 'Chairman I
of the Tree Committee, and we have certificates of appreciation for all the vendors
within the Town, who have donated their time and services, and certainly donated
trees to make Southold, and keep Southold a rural and historic place, and to keep i
it beautiful. Ed, why don't you come up? I have the certificates on the table,
and I'll come down with you, and we'll proceed ahead. The floor is yours.
EDWARD DART: This year marked one of our most successful years with. the
Southold Tree Committee.Through the generosity of a number of growers within
the town, and landscapers, we were able to plant well over a hundred nice street
trees. You've seen some of them on the highway, other ones in front of the land-
fill, so it's been sort of a first time successful effort, and we're very, very pleased,
and we'd like to continue this in future years. It was basically a low cost project
due to the generosity of some of our local growers, and landscapers. Now, we've '
asked some of these people to come. I don't know if they're here, but if they're
not here, we'll deliver these certificates to them. I certainly want you all to know,
that these are the people, that have been generous. This is Tim Coffey from
Tim Coffey Nursery in Southold, Shamrock Tree Service from Mattituck, Peter
Sterling, I see from Plantings by the Sea. Come on up, and get this, Pete. Peter
is responsible for planting right here, Horton's Lane. You noticed there's a whole
nice row of trees from end to end, and Peter Sterling donated the day's labor of
his crew. .: Pester Sterling planted the Zacova trees and Linden trees on Horton's
Lane from end to end, so thanks very. much, Peter. Northeast Nurseries, you've
seen them up on Route 48 there. Are you Gene? Oh good, I've never met you,
got one of the most pregressive nurseries going on the North Fork. He seems '
to turn out a wonderful crop of trees, and we're very grateful for his generousity. -
Thanks again, Gene. Indian Neck Corporation is Dave Chhanowicz, and with
a couple of volunteers from the Kawanis Club, and myself included, we dug a
few holes, and planted some trees in Mattituck area. So I don't ,know if Dave
is here tonight, but certainly the Chicanowicz family has been very, . very helpful
to us. Shade Tree Nursery, is there anyone here from Shade Tree Nursery?
Jamesport, out of towners, still helping to contribute to our cause. Jon Lake,
Landscaping. Come up, Ed, good to see you. Wolf Pit Nurseries in Mattituck.

Jay Acksen from Acksen Nursery in Bayview. Then, again, the Chicanowicz with
22 8 DECEMBER 11, 1990
Braircliff Landscape, who they participated on, two sides of our project. Unce
for giving us some trees out of their nursery, and the other side of their business
participated in a day's work'of planting. So, we'll see that these firms get this
recognition, and your recognition as well, too. Thanks very much.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Once, again,. on behalf of the Town Board and the people
of the Town of Southold, thank you very much, and we certainly appreciate what
you've done for Southold.
EDWARD DART: I did notice two•:enthusiastic fellows from the Landfill here. They
dug up some trees from the back of the Highway Department. Dave Zuhoski, and
Marty. Dave and Marty work up at the Landfill, and they're two of the
enthusiastic fellows from up there, and it was their efforts that got that nice,
dare I call it a promenade into 'the landfill. It will be a promenade one day. _
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, could we have Lieutenant Conway, come
forward, please,, and Chief, soon to be, Stanley Droskoski, and of course, still
our Chief Dan Winters, and at this time, why don't we start with Lieutenant and
work our way down. We'll save the best for last. How's that? We'll take some
pictures. We have a resolution, that is permanently part of the record of the 1
Town of Southold, honoring Chief Harold Dan Winters, who's retiring from public

years, not that I'm going to die tomorrow. But I was doing a bit of calculating.
today, and Judy will check me on this, I know it, I think my pay checks have

COUNCILWOMAN LATSON : I would just like to make a comment. This resolution
has been revised to stretch out the payment period from five years to ten years,
to lessen the tax impact from the resolution, that was introduced to us previously.
We have correspondance dated October 31st from Dvirka and Bartolucci, where
they have anticipated the cost for the complete study at about $236,000. 1 asked
the Supervisor why, at the work session, which is appropriate, $400,00M, .. Well,
it was recommended by Dvirka and 'Bartolucci, .although it's unlikely that. .we'll be
asked to install additional well clusters, that we. have this' amount of money available.
So, hopefully, the hydrogeologic studies will not cost the Town $400,000, they'll
cost us more in the neighborhood of $250,000. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Hopefully; Ellen, it stays as low as -it possible can.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I'd just like to say, that I think it's really vitally
important, that we have this hydrogeological study. It's important to find out
if there is a flume, where there is a flume, and if it is affecting our groundwater,
or if it's not affecting ou'r groundwater. From that, we wil,l be able to determine
which direction in which we will take. It is really the base, I think, of our
understanding of the landfill.
17a.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Latson,
Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman .Penny, Justice 'Edwards, Supervisor Harris.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED:.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: And as was mentioned, this resolution is just the preface
to what we're going to be doing, anticipating the next two ;resolutions, which will
be going out to bid for two of the procedures,- that are needed. Hopefully, we .
can start this project sometime the end of February, the beginning of March. This
hydrogeologic study, it's actually not a study, it's actually'a project. It's construction,
and also, it will be very pivotal to the whole plan for Southold Town, and we
have to prove unfortunately to the DEC under Part 360, that we are not guilty
here, (tape change) this process of driving wells at a cost of over $10,000.. a
peice. We have approximately 14 wells, that are- going to be put in, in seven
clusters of two. It's very unfortunate that'the Health Department wells, which
were up there, which were monitored, show that this leach ate contained no more
organics, or inorganics, or heavy metals, than that that's contained in saltwater.
Unfortunately the DEC wants further verification other than that, which has been
done by Suffolk County already, and the taxpayers are, once again, asked to bear
the full brunt of these costs to prove our. case, and it certainly should strengthen
our case, when it comes to the fact that the leachate, that is up there, is not
polluting the groundwater in the fashion, that the DEC has remitted, or said that
we've done.

COUNCILWOMAN LATSON Number 44 is a rather lengthy memorializing resolution,
which endorses the nomination of Peconic. Bay by the Southold Town Board to the
National Estuary Program. I know I've been involved, as I well as Ruth, with the
Brown Tide Comprehensive Management Plan Assessment Studies from the first year
of the Brown Tide, and Scott has overwhelmingly endorsed this at the .recent
Supervisor's meeting. I don't know if you want to add anything, Scott.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: This is a very important document, and it's supported,
not only by this Board, but it's supported, obviously, by' everybody, that not
only makes a living from the East End, but everybody else, that realizes that the
Brown Tide was just one portion of the crisis that faced our Peconic Bays, and
this umbrella policy, which we're going to try to establish, is Nominating Petition,
which will be introduced by the Governor, and down into Washington, will give
us a broad base support for all aspects of the Peconc Bay,'s relation to problems
that exist, so that we can get financial help in those area's, that are so badly
needed, when the people on the East End are seeking relief. 1 hope that every
town will be in support of this, as we move down the track, and let's hope that
1991, is a good year for the Peconic Bays.

bulkheading within the Town estimated maximum cost is $1,00,000. , appropriating
said amount of these bonds is going to be $100,000 in serials, and this to financially
aid this project. The reason why we had to withdraw the resolution,that we did
a number of weeks ago, is because after reviewing this bond, it was found that
the life of this bond was only five years, where it should' have been ten. There
was an error made through the counsel; and it has been corrected, and now, the
life of this is now ten years, which again, will help support, not only the recon-
struction, but certainly help the people of Southold easing the burden of paying
for this. So, I definitely move this resolution.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: That ends the regular portion of our meeting. I'm going
to let Councilman Penny take over at this point. I'm going to try to get back to
my district to exercise my right to vote tonig,ht, in a Fire- District election. Have
a nice Holiday, and I'll see lyou soon.
Supervisor Harris left at 8:45 P.M.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: At this point are there any additional comments by any
Town Board members,, before we go to the public for their comments?
COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: I would just like to give a brief Councilman's report.
On the 8th we had a Planning and Zoning Committee meeting, which Ruth chaired.
I'm sure she'll report on. We, also, had interviews for. the Police Lieutenant, and
I have to say that both candidates for the job were obsolu,tely excellent, or else
they wouldn't even have been" sitting there to be interviewed to begin with. On _
Thursday, we held a recycling .finance alternative meeting; and we discussed the
1991 anticipated Town recycling costs. They're estimated at about $100,000. We
discussed several metholds of financing this, in addition to the $25. sticker fee,
that was passed by the Town this year. We wanted to keep any user fee involved
as low as possible, but as wide and broad based as possible to include all. We
discussed formation of a garbage district at this time, but we ruled it out, because
we felt it would just be too 'bureaucratic and confusing to implement at this time,
and also, taxing the general tax base, which was kind of out because we've adopted
our 1991 budget. We discussed several alternatives. Among them was a punch
card to have punched, and 'pay a fee when you go into the landfill to dump household
garbage, and several other imethods. The best, after we 'reviewed many methods
used in many towns through a very comprehensive booklet, that was presented
to us in publication. We're' looking at bag purchases for this year in implementing
charges for bags of garbage to offset the cost of garbage to be anticipated this
year, =not a very popular, or something that we're enthused about doing, but none
the less .responsible to look at just the same. On the 2nd', I also had some meetings
with Bessie Swann from the- Village of Greenport on low income housing needs .in
Greenport. On Monday, December 3rd, I met with the East End Arts Council.
Last year we allocated $3,0'00. for a cultural planning study for the Town of _
Southold.. Judy Weiner.- of East End Arts Council and Angie, I can't remember her
last name, did a survey and the analysis: Lois Southoff of the Mattituck Chamber
.of Commerce, Bea Hardy, and many other participated in the survey. We are,
endeavoring to bring additional fine arts to the North Fork. • During economic
depressed times people tend to go to more movies, and tend to go to more functions
closer to home, and the results of this study pointed out that 640, an overwhelming
majority of the population within the Town of Southold, stated that the group that
needs to be addressed was the teens. We ,also had a meeting on runoff with Ray
Jacobs to' implement the road runoff drainage program for ;Goose Creek this year,
and last 'night we attended ;the meeting on the Waste Management Task Force. The
only other thing, that I'd like to .comment, I thank you for your indulgence, is
the decision, or the resolution, to hire the law firm in defense of the Town:
Several statements were made. ,Many statements were made over a year, ago., on
both sides of the political fence; as far as. the landfill law, went, and I personally
voted for advocated, the approval of the Daneco plant to 'provide a facility in the
Town to handle the non-recyclable municipal solid waste with Shelter Island, River-
head, and Southold Town. ; Today, it's interesting to see that Southampton, River-
head and East Hampton are all entertaining requests for proposals for composting
plants in their towns. We, also,also, said last year, that we knew the DEC, or we
anticipated the DEC would fully enforce the. .or attempt to enforce the 1990 landfill
closure on December 18. On the other hand, we were told not to vote for the
plant, that we would find ai municipal agreement among the towns, that we would
j ' 249
DECEMBER 11, 1990
get an extension on the landfill law, and that if all else failed, that we could truck.
In April or -May of last year, I don't remember the date exactly, I submitted quite
a report to Tom Wickham, and the Solid Waste Management Task Force, outlining
the astronomical cost associated with the town with the trucking solution. The
Solid Waste Management Task Force. .some of the members are sitting in the audience
now, have an attitude or a philosophy, that we can landfill, and many of the Town
Board members feel this way, too, for the next 30 years, through the year 2015.
That's certainly not my attitude, and I don't think we'll ever get a judge to agree.
However, I don't agree with the, DEC pro-burn mentality, and I believe we have
to have more time. As an elected official, I can not ask the public to go cold
turkey, and endure the extreme economic hardships and costs associated with trucking
out of town, and implementing the Long Island Land Law on a short term basis.
While I will support any relief attainable to the taxpayer, be assured that I will
work with the Supervisor, .the Town Board, and the Solid Waste Management Task
Force to come up with a permanent solution, .that does not rely on landfilling. ,
Thank you, George.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Just a quick update on the Planning and Zoning. I
attended most of the meetings, that Ellen has already reported upon. The
Architectural Advisory Committee with go to the Legistative Committee to draw up
something in the Code to help the Planning Board with their architectural review.
We do not have a report yet for the affordable housing. Hopefully, that will be
done soon. We talked about the different commercial zones, to look all over at
some of permitted uses, that are allowed now. Some are allowed by special
exception. Some of the uses are too similar. We even have a gas station, that's
in a marine zone. We discussed the fact that, either the Planning Board has some
time to .do something in house, or use student- i.nterns in the summertime. They
felt that they needed some sort of landclearing ordinance, which we'll have to
go back and discuss. We discussed about open space management. ' If we do
acquire some lands under the open space quarter per. cent sales tax of our own,
bringing some sort of management..plan, and Jim McMahon suggested that Tom
Mumff from Southampton might come over. They're doing an open space
management plan. Perhaps he would- come over, and talk to us. We thought it
would be a good idea to do some coordination with the Tree Committee, as far as
our. affordable housing districts are concerned to get some trees up, and we would
like to have perhaps another SEQR workshop, as we have had in the past with
the former Town Attorney. We need a beginner's course, and another*advanced
course. -... I -.would just like to add something, too, about voting for the lawyers to
litigate the landfill law. I do feel we do-need some sort of professional' legal help.
It's unfortunate that we have had to wait to the enth hour, really, to -the eleventh
hour, to come up with some of these questions, that perhaps should have been
made available to us, or we should have thought of a few years ago, and now we're
just down to the eleventh and half hour, to decide. this.. I,.take ,note .of Ellen's
comments about the other towns going to. the.composting. .1 have always believed'
in the composting. I do believe that perhaps there are some changes needed in
the landfill law, or to allow us to do something, if we completely do the 700
recycling and reduction. My thought is, and as an environmentalist, I must say
this, that the-produce -you have left is basically food stuff, dirty papers, and what
have you, and just to dump that into the ground, even with 30 tons a day, it's
30 tons a day, 365 days a._year, year in and year out, and I don't see that that
is a good way of. .e' nvironmental way of getting rid of -your- garbage, when there
is an alternative of making a product, that is usable, and perhaps even salable,
and then the remainder, which is left from that process, could be put into a lined'
or even an unlined landfill, because there should nothing .that would be hazardous
to the groundwater. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Tom? -
COUNCILMAN. WICKHAM: I'd, like to hold my comments, and I may respond to
questions, that come from the audience.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Back to Daneco's $8,000,000. composting, Of course I was
for the composting, but we were not given the total picture on that. If the
composter was in—wouldn't have been in operation yet, perhaps maybe it would
have been, but we would still be looking for a place to haul the ash out of there,
probably forty, fifty percent residue. We would have to put in a lined landfill.
don't think the residue could be buried directly into the landfill, and that
$8,000,000. for the Daneco composter did not include the lined landfill, nor the
trucking, so I think we're on the right track the way the Town Board, the present
Town Board, is going now, and I think only the future will prove we're right.
Thank you.

DECEMBER 11 , 1990
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Judge, I just want to say, that my remarks were not
specifically designed to the Daneco plant intself, or the proposal that was made.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I would just 'like to say, that I'm very happy to see the
unitity of the Town Board at this time. It's been a long time coming. I think
that finally we have a unanimous agreement here to challange the `Long Island
Landfill Law, which through the work of many people on our Task Force, and many
citizens in our community, with the encouragement of TaxPac, the League of Women
Voters, Southold 2000, the NFEC, and several other groups on record, and many
personal comments, -that have been made by individuals, is that Southold Town
can not comply With the Landfill Law, as it is worded, and I concur With that 1006.
It's been my position, and litigation has been inevitable from the day that we started
this, and the DEC has put us in a position by not responding in a timely fashion
by only acting as a . . 1 can't use the word I'd like to use, but all they've done
is sit there, and told us everytime that we've come up with a proposal, and some
of these, including the hydrological study are doing on three years now, they've
only told us what we can't do, but as they've told us over and over, again, that
although they are mandated under the New York State to offer us techiic_al assistance,
they've told us right up front, that they have no' technical assistance to give us.
So, I'm very happy to see that the Town Board has taken this position, and I wish
us all, and the other East End towns with us, luck with this pending litigation.
We'd like to go to comments with the audience at this time. - Please come up to the
podium, state your name, and whatever matter you'd like to address the Town Board
on.
CHARLES ZAHRA: Charles Zahra from Mattituck. Subject matter is a letter of
October 16, 1989. The last time I spoke to you peoplewas 7/30/90, and I'm just
. curious if you could give me an update, as to what's taking place with this matter. ..
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: What letter is that?
CHARLES ZAHRA: The Alvah's Lane.
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: What letter are you talking about? I'll answer your
question. What was the letter in July, that you're referring to, the one in 1990?
CHARLES ZAHRA: In July, that was the last time I spoke to the Board, .with
reference to that letter, and where it was going. Scott Harris said that based
on the information I had provided, that. .
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: I didn't know what you were talking about. At the
present moment, no comment is being made in- regard to that, because of your
pending litigation. We feel that in part, in whole or in part, it may only be food
for your litigation, and, also, .I think we Would be ,ill advised to release any
information, provided same were .available,-'and that is my position as Counsel 'of
the Town, and I really don't feel that any further comment is appropriate considering
. the pending litigation. I'll tell you, there is no written report, so. freedom of
information does not apply.
CHARLES. ZAHRA: I just want you to know, that .I disagree with you.
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: Fine. That's certainly your right.
CHARLES ZAHRA: I believe it's for the benefit of the entire Town of Southold.
So you're saying, at any given point, a report will be given on any' action taken?
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: I've made my comment.
CHARLES ZAHRA: Thank you.
JOHANNA NORTHAM: Good evening. My name- is Johanna Northam. I have two
issues I want to address. The first one is about the recycling, mandatory recycling.
am disappointed that you didn't address the. construction debris, because that
is a major part of our waste stream.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: This law addressed only recycables. It's in the process
of being drafted.
JOHNANNA NORTHAM: The second issue is litigation. You have agreed to take
Counsel with Beverage S Diamond, I believe it is.
COUNCIMAN PENNY: No. They were just replaced this evening by Smith, Finkel-
stein, Lundberg, Isler and Yakaboski.
DECEMBER 11 , 1990
251
JOHANNA NORTHAM: Are they familar with environmental laws? Because I feel
as a Task Force member, that for a. year we designated ourselves with the law,
and the issues, and we should exhaust every 'avenue that's available, before we
` even discuss it. Thank you.
COUN 1LMAN PENNY: Is there anybody else in the audience, that would like to
address the Town Board?
WILLIAM PELL: Billy Pell from Greenport. I wonder if we can have an update
on the landfill, on what's going to happen in the next few days.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I'd like to make three or four points, Bill, that I think
would outline the thinking of this Town Board at this time. Really four points.
The first.one, I think the question that you pose is the question on everybody's
mind basically. What is going to happen on the 18th or the 19th,. A. message from
the Town of Southold is, that the dump, the landfill, will continue to be open.
Discussions about closing it, and padlocking it, and walking away from it, I think
are irresponsible, and do not reflect the views of the Town. The buildinq will
be open. The gates will be open. It's Town property. We do not anticipate it's
being closed. If there were a closure, it would be to the ground area way in the
back. were the landfill actually occurs. There's recycling that's going on. It's
a permitted activity, the STOP Program, the yard waste composting. Certainly,
those things are not going to be stopped. Residents should continue to bring in
their garbage, as they have been doing for years and years, and carters should
bring it in. The Town will take responsibility for where it goes. At the moment,
our thinking is, that -it could continue to be landfilled in the back. If .by the time
the 19th comes around, we don't think that's prudent, we have. contingency plans
where it could be taken. But, in any event, as far as the people of the Town
are concerned, the landfill will continue to operate as it has in the past, and people
should feel free to bring in their materials. Second part I want to refer to is the
point that Johanna made about the madatory recycling. We view this as an extremely
important measure for the Town of Southold, and I think you'll find the Town Board
will adopt those ordinances as quickly as feasible. As was brought out in her
question, the Town is, at the moment, preparing legislation for the possible fazing
out of construction type materials, also, from the landfill, which will make a
substantial dent, almost 500, in the materials that are brought in. The third thine
want to say, is I want to make a few comments about how the Town is doing to
be relating with the DEC in the future. I'd like to profess those comments with
two sentences from the lead editorial from a local newspaper last week, and I'll
just quote this. But this much seems clear, the Long Island Landfill Law deserves
a place in history as the biggest governmental fiasco since the Southwest Sewer
District. The landfill challenge called for broad vision, and true leadership, but
what we've seen is chronic confusion, and petty. politics with a vacuum of leader-
ship in Albany. I think that reflects the views of most of us on the Town Board.
We have been frustrated at every step in trying to deal with the DEC. It's .not. .
I'm not able to outline to you this evening briefly, .how the Town is doing to try
to press it's legal challange. All I can say is, we believe there are sound grounds
for challanging the-application of the law, the interpretation of the DEC has
assigned .to the Town of Southold. As you- may know, or shortly learn, in the
runup to the deadline next week, in the last few, days the DEC is spending it's
time trying to press the Town of Southold into a consent order. The hydrogeologic
study is that we passed a bond, we passed a resolution endorsing a bond, is
basically a study to measure the impact- of the dump as it exists, and the possible
contamination of groundwater as that water moves towards the Sound from where
the landfill is. We made an application to make those studies way back in, I -
believe, it was May of last year. As of today, we still have not got an approval
from the DEC to carry it our, and without that approval it's foolhardy for the
Town to spend massive amounts of money, and then to be told, no, what you're
doing is not in conformance with our recommendations, and.. we will not abide by
those data, and still despite all kinds of representation, we have not got a permit
to conduct those studies. There are all kinds, of frustrations, and basically, it
is those difficulties which have lead us, at this late date, to challange the applica
tion of the law to the Town of Southold. There was a comment from one of my
collegues, that it's rather too bad that it's come at the last minute, but in part
that's because w'e've tried to work in constants with the towns of Riverhead,
Southampton, Easthampton, and Shelter Island,. and at the moment all of them,
except for Southhampton, are•on board on this. We think it is the responsible
thing to do to press the DEC to stand up and say we are not prepared to live
with the strictures of this law, as they have been applied to us. We can't tell
you exactly where we're going to come out on it, but we think it is the responsible
thing to do with this town. ' Lastly, I want to comment on the importance of a
bi-partisan effort on the part of the town. As George mentioned tonight, we had,
252
I think, a good demostration of how the town should approach the problem, and
how we should relate to the DEC. We had a unanimous Board movements on each
of the major pieces. That doesn't mean that each of us has exactly an identical
point of view, and you've heard some of the variation in our views. That's
important, but what is much more important is that both, we on the Board, and
the public at large, support broadly this effort, and we'll be coming to the people.
of the town asking for demonstrations of that support, as we continue to negotiate
and to seek a relationship with the DEC, that is clearly in the town's interest.
As far as the Board goes, each one of us on the Board has played an important
role so far, and I think we each will continue to play an important role in seeking
a solution to the problem, that it's in the- Town's interest. I not going` to name
it now, but each one of us has had a particular role, that has been important,
and I think each one of us will continue to take that role. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Anybody' else in the audience like to address the Town
Board?
STEVE LATSON: Steve Latson. I surprised Ellen tonight. I'm from Southold.
It's been long time with this whole dump issue, and I have my own feelings, which
has nothing to do with Ellen whatsoever. I've got a little demonstration here
of a point of information flyer what with Republican. I think this kind of says
it all easily. First, I'd like to say_ that, when the Brown Tide came, which is
a pollution issue, and so is the dump. All of these are environmental issues.
Myself, and a couple of other baymen from the East End, formed a group called
Green Seal, and we brought scallops back to the Peconic. We had to deal with
the DEq. We had to deal with the UDC. We had to deal with the Army Corp
of Engineers. We had to deal with the IRS, because Green Seal, it turned out,
our pargnt, group, had horrible book work, and essentially they were. totally
We had 'to take what was left, deal with the IRS and everything else. We had
to deal with lawyers, and all kinds of people. We. brought scallops back, and
went through an awful lot of hard work, book work. I feel that considering that
you guys have known since 1980, that this is happening, that the Town citizens
have been given a great disservice, what is finally happening, and you know,
I'm sure you will disagree with me, but that's the way I feel, and it's just'really
upsetting to me. I really feel the person that was involved in a program, very
similar to what you're doing, you know, in many ways. We had to deal. with a
lot of very high official organizations, the DEC, -UDC, the IRS, the Army Corp
of Army Engineers, etc. So I don't know that deal with that many organizations.
We accomplished something in three years, you know. I .don't know why you didn't
do it in ten. Anyway, here's ,finally what I'd like to just show you.- This is
one of those straight and narrow simple choices, but when you get to the second
page, seek relief from some of some of the more rigid features of the Long 'Island
Landfill Law. Of course, we will comply with the State law. So, I guess what
I'm really saying is, when you run an -election next time, maybe you'd better be
a little more honest, and then finally there's a picture here, and it says, Frank
Murphy,: will it be nice if starting on the 18th all these trucks from Islip, Medford,
Mastic, Centereach, Coram, Yaphank were lined up at our composting plant, come
to the Town of Southold with their garbage, which would relieve our taxpayers.
Now, I believe this deep in my heart, that this was a good plan, because we would
have been forerunners. Instead, here's the Town of Southold back here, and
some truck lined up with God knows what dump. Excuse my language. I think
this cartoon says it all. Obviously, we have to work together, move on into the
future. You guys blew it. Sorry. Good night.
WILLIAM PELL: One other question I'd like to ask Tom. If we compost, if we
were to compost up there in the future, how much ash would'we get out of '
composting at our landfill?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: 300. No not ash. 30o product.
WILLIAM PELL: I couldn't see where ash came out of composting.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: 1 don't believe it does.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I think what Bill is relating to is, that Ray in his earlier
discussion mentioned the word ash.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Residue. I'm sorry.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: What he meant was residue, and I don't think it was inten-
tional. Are there any more comments from the audience?
DECEMBER 11 , 1990 253
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: I just wanted to know, if you take this into court, 'are there
any fines or penalties, or anything that the town suffers, because we are takinq
.this route?
COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: We're seeking an injunction.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: Is that an injunction?
COUNCILWOMAN LATSON : Yes, that what we're doing to seek right now, an
injunction, a relief from the Long Island Landfill Law. That's what we're asking
for. We tried through the Legislature, and now we're going to try through the
courts..
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: In the meantime, you are going to do your best to follow.
the Law as it applies after the 18th of December?
.COUNCILWOMAN LATSON : We'll try.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: Okay, that's what I wanted to know. Have you contempleted
the length of time, that this could be in court? This go be forever. Think of
the Master Plan.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Harvey, would you like to address some of these questions?
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: : I'm listening to the question, because under the curcum-
stances, litigation of this nature can be given a priority in the courts. It's just
a question, whether we. get involved in the Appellete process, and whether or not,
there is stays, and injunctions. actually issued by the Court.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: Well, the League of Women Voters, and the North Fork
Environmental Council is involved in a suit against the Town, also, and that's suit
has moved not a bit. .
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: I'm aware of that lawsuit, because I happen to handling
that for the Town, and first of all, sometimes you're dealing with the question
of priorities of the Court. In that particular lawsuit, there was a determination
made by the. Court, but there was _a question of standing, of plantiffs',to bring
the litigation. That will, in itself, tend to delay, because a hearing has to be
scheduled on that issue, that narrow issue, before the facts of the case can be
dealt with. That is not the issue here, so where you have intervening issue, as
you do in the Master Plan litigation, that type of issue is not contemplated.
Certainly as a muncipality,. this town, or any other muncipality. under the number
of the landfill legislation, would standing in court to challenge it.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS:-...Well, 'the .difficulty with this kind of lawsuit is, that while
it's in Court, all sorts of things happen to,the ,landfill, . and. to the environment,.
because nothing stops. I can't think if this will relate to the landfill situation.
The other thing I'd like to say is that the people in this Town are all convinced
that that is a very safe landfill, that the leachate_is. .they're all convinced of this.
They all feel, that they want the landfill to stay, and our residue, after we have
taken the 75% recyclables, and. 10% out for this, and the residue it goes into the
landfill. The problem with this is that I think all of us are.convinced, that this
is the way to go, but I don't think you've been exactly honest:with us. I don't
think that's the way you're going to be allowed to go, and I think people in town -
should have a realistic assessment of what's going to happen.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: 11d like to address that. I'd like to begin by saying,
that "your' concern about, do we know how much this is going to cost the town,
and do we know how long it's going to take, those are very important concerns,
and I would not want 'us to go away tonight thinking this is some easy matter,
that's going to be handled painlessly, at no cost, and quickly. It's likely to be
pencrastinated.lt's likely to be expensive, and quite frankly, I don't think any of
us, knows at this point exactly where we're going to wind up. But we feel it is
the responsible thing to do, that we can't just accept the cost, and the consequences,
without fighting in some manner. That's basically how, I think we all feel. It is
being shared. The costs are being shared by other towns.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS.: The other thing, also, that in this whole process of ten
years, the orignal bill was written, did anyone ever try along those ten years,
to change the bill. I mean actually get legislators in action, take a bill, and try
to amend it. In ten years, that has not even happened, has it?
2 5 4 DECEMBER 11 , 1990
COUNCILMAN PENNY: There have been legal court challanges, and there have
been offerings of amendments.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: And none of this has gotten anywhere. We have never been
able to put enough pressure on our legislators.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: The legal challange is last, Dorothy, in court.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM. Her question is basically make- a change in the law
through the Legislator, and the answer to that is, there have been many efforts
made here on eastern Long Island, but they have been thwarted by many more
voters, .that legislators in the other parts around New York City, and what not,
that have a much heavier weight. Part of the purpose of our bringing this
action, together with the other towns, is to, again, mobilize an effort to redress
the law beginning next year. .
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: It's awfully late in the game, and mind boggling to think
we're doing it at .this point.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: People work best under pressure, and as late as ten after.
six tonight, Joe Sawicki called the Supervisor's Office from Albany, to among other
things, to let us know that there may be some new movement in the Legislature.
They've had some concessions, and this is going to be a day to day, hour to hour,
scenerio up until the 18th or 19th, and maybe not even until the 1st of the year,
but there had been attempts made, right now, even as we speak, the Legislators
are trying to get a consensus among themselves, and the Long Island Delegation
is trying to get their act together, so that they can come in with some legislation,
that will offer support for all of the :towns, because there are nine towns, I believe,
it's nine out of the ten towns, that are involved in the Long Island Landfill Law.
All require legislative, administrative, relief, or an extension, so we are not alone.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS:. You did complete all of the work involved in applying for
an extension?
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: The Law does not permit extensions.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: We are requesting in a Legislative extension, through our
local Legislature. We have not made an extension application to the DEC, because
it's not proper for us to do, because we don't meet the criteria at this time. We
have applied definitely for a Legislative extension, and that is what the Legislators
are trying to get for us right now.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: .The DEC has told us, that we can not receive an
extension given the status of our Landfill.-
DOROTHY PHILLIPS: Thank you. Thank all of you. I know you've worked awfully
hard on this.
FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin. Laurel. I wasn't going to speak tonight, but
it came around the subject. In the Newsday back- in 1986, 1 believe it was, the
sources, from town sources, it said in. there, plans for composting plant. I have
the copy home. I forgot to bring it. It had a list of all- the different towns, that
proposed a composting plant, and I have the.copy home. I'll bring it to you.
Southold was in there in 1989, to build a -composting plant at the cost of $4,000,000,
at that time, to produce 125 tons a day of garbage. Breaking ground was
scheduled in '87, and the completion of this composting plant was in 188. 1 don't
know if you know about it, or anything, but it was in the Newsday, with the list
of them there. It's too bad we didn't follow through on that plan. We would have
been out of this mess. But then we had a second shot in 1989, to build a plant-,
although it went up to $9,000,000.
COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: __ It was 7.2 million, was the cost of the plant.
FRANK CARLIN: Okay, say 7.2, what you say, million dollars. But we failed
on that one, so I guess by listening, to this so called plan, that we had, what
happened. We had a plan, and we didn't want the composting plant, and
composting plant, again, doesn't produce ash. You talk about incineration, so
let's get our stories straight on that. Thank you very much. Four years ago,
it only costs us $.4,000,000.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Anymore comments from the audience at this time?
DECEMBER 11, 1990 255
JOHN NICKLES: John Nickles from Southold. I'd like to say that I think you're
doing a good job. There is something, however, that is wrong tonight, probably
one of the few things you can correct for us, and is your Town Seal is crooked.
The Sterling side is at two o'clock, instead of 12 o'clock. I thought the acting
Suoervisor would be the right one to straighten it out with his background, and
lumber, and so on. He can get out his plumb line and straighten it out.
COUNCILWOMAN LATSON : I probably knocked it, when I put these Christmas
decorations up.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Anyone else like to address the Town Board at this time?
COUNCILWOMAN LATSON : Yes, a peaceful Happy New Year.
Moved by .Councilman Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 9:20 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Latson,
Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
