third time the project was put out to bid, came in at $23,580.06. Supervisor

V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know the Town Board has a policy that at

. that would like to address the Board in relation to any of the planned
resolutions to be approved, we would like to do that at this time. You will
have an opportunity later, at the end of the meeting, to address the Town
Board on any other Town business that you would like to share with us.
So, at this time, on the resolutions?
ED SIEGMANN: My . name is Ed Siegmann, and I represent seniors, and
also, Southold TaxPac. I am glad to see Number 30 here, that the Town
Board protests the increase of the TV rates. I have contacted the
organizations that I belong to. I have asked them to make up resolutions,
and give them to us, and let us go out and get them signed by the people,
and I think our real thrust should be with the Public Service Commission,
that they broke up the telephone company, because they said it was a
monopoly, and if there was ever a monopoly that we are paying for it, it's
these cable companies. If you see how they are buying up Madison Square
Garden, the show houses and that, you are going to see in a very short
time you. won't be able to get a station on TV unless you pay for .it. You
had better start trying to put a stop to it now.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Ed. ` Is there anyone else like to
address the Town Board on any of printed resolutions? (No response.) If
not, we will begin to pass on the resolutions.

WHEREAS, on November 24, 1997 the Town Board of tiie Town of
Southold received notice from Cablevision announcing an increase in rates;
and
WHEREAS, Cablevision proposes to Increase tiie rates on the Broadcast .
Basic services from $7.63 per month to $13.26 per month, an increase of
74°%; and
J' b
DE_C,ErARER. 9, 1991 27
WHEREAS, this enormous increase negatively impacts the citizens of the
Town of Southold who relied on a basic, inexpensive cable TV 'service;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby registers
a complaint with the Public Service Commission regarding the rate increase.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I would just like to explain. I called up
Cablevision this afternoon to ask why such an increase, and their
explanation was, that the people that have just Broadcast Basic have an
interdiction box on the pole outside their home, which costs the company
$400.00 for each one, and that when they have to send someone out to fix
such box, or so forth, it cost at least $50.00 an hour. I asked how many
people in this Town have Broadcast Basic? There were 450 homes that have
Broadcast Basic out of 8,000 homes, and you know anyone that has not only
Broadcast Basic, but has Family Cable, we do no need that box outside,
but we are still being increased $3.00 and some cents per month, so I think
it's really an outrage. A lot of these people that have just Broadcast
Basic simply can't afford any more, and I think it's, absolutely wrong.
agree with Ed, we are going to end up paying for everything.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Number 32, if I may take a moment? •This was
not discussed today, but Jim forgot, and sent it down late after everyone
had left, and what he wants is permission to put an ad in each one of the
papers in relation to the recycling of holiday goods, wrapping paper, the
whole bit. So he has quite a list. He has a dummy ad, but I felt what was
important was to at least look at the possibility of the placing of the ads,
and Alice, your, committee, or you, whatever, can verify what the ad says.
have seen it. It's very straightforward. I think what we have to do is get
permission, because he wants to put it in both papers. So, if I may have
a motion.

RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is the end of our resolutions, and we do not
have any public .hearings this evening, so at this point we will go right
into if there is anyone that would like to address the Town Board 'on any
Town business other than what was presented in the resolutions. I have to
tell you what Judy is doing. The next day usually after a Board meeting
Ruthanne, my secretary, and Judy Terry, our Town Clerk, and myself,
sit down, and we, review all the action of the day, and make the
assignments as to who is taking care of what. Some is Judy's responsibility,
some is the Supervisor's Office, and first thing in the morning when we get
finished here I usually take my agenda, and I usually have about eight
folders here, I just shove it in somewhere. Well, they spend the first five
minutes Looking with me what folder I shoved the agenda in. .
TOWN CLERK TERRY: She has notes all over it.
28 DECEMBER 9, 1997
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I do. I make all notes, so Judy just put it
where she will know where it is tomorrow morning.
REVEREND MARVIN DOZIER: Supervisor, we, the Anti Bias Task Force
had a very delightful session this morning in the Work Session, and at this
time we are sort of wondering what is the procedure for a resolution, or
something that proclaims that 1998 will be Bias Free Year, so I come to ask
that question.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think when Dorothy and I met last week the
direction I thought we would be going is, you know, both a proclamation
and a resolution. We can do both. The resolution would be passed by the
Town Board. A proclamation is developed and presented on behalf of the
Town Board, but we are going to be doing that.
REVEREND MARVIN DOZIER: So we need to get those things in.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Get the information into my office, and see that
Pat gets it, and we will be moving along. Mr. Siegmann?
ED SIEGMANN: I want to make it clear to the Board, I am not talking for
any organization now. I am talking for myself, although I am sure what
am going to say, if there is a lot of people in the town that will be in
agreement with it. I watched some things in the last election that we had
and I didn't want to raise them before the election, due to the fact that
didn't want to have anybody say that I am trying to persuade somebody one
way or any other. One of the things that annoyed, me mostly in this last
election, you know we vote for bond issues for millions of dollars to buy up
property, and make vistas clear, so that you can ride down one road, look
across the other, and see the back road, about six weeks usually before
election you don't see any vistas anymore. All you see is .signs that say
vote -for A,B,C, and D. I think we talk about not making the east end look
like the west, and some of these things we are making it look like the west
more, and more all the time. I would make a suggestion, that .have a Sign
Ordinance in the first place that you have for the Town, I believe, I world
think you ought to make some rules for election time. How many signs can
be put up, where .they can be put up, and make some kind of rules and
regulations that the Town doesn't look like Coney Island with a bunch of
signs up in reference to election. If the Sign Code can be used at other
times, I .think it should apply to election time also. One other thing is,
really annoying in the last election, I received a piece of literature in my
mail, and I looked all over it, and couldn't find the name of anybody who
sent it out, but 1 did see that it was the bulk rate, permit no. 1 in
reference to mailing. I called up the post office, and found out that permit
no. 1 belonged to Suffolk Life. 1, then, asked if it's legal for Suffolk
Life to let somebody else use their permit? I was told permits that were
held by not for profit organizations are not allowed to let anybody else use
their permit, but permits that are not held by not for profit organizations,
they can let other organizations use their permit, or even get paid for
somebody to hold the permit. I then looked into it further, and found out
this was sent out by the Republican party. No place on here does it say
it's sent by the Republican party. I think that ethically that if you are
going to send something into our home for- election, that at least have the
decency to sign it, because when I get something in my house, that
somebody didn't sign, usually I don't pay much attention to it. If .I write a
letter to a newspaper, to the Editor of the newspaper, they won't print it
unless I put my name on it. I think that anything coming into our house at
a time like this should let us know where it's coming from. I hope that
am wrong when I look at something like this, and think to myself maybe
there is- something on there that •somebody don't want :to be accused of
putting on there, so -they don't put any name on it. One other thing
have to say, and it has nothing to do with the election as far as what took .
place, except that, Ruth, I was very happy to see what happened tonight
with the.`group that was here, and I want to make a couple of comments to
you, personally from myself, and also, for a lot of people that feel the
same way as I do about it. Some of the things I am going to say apply to
you, Joe, but 1 don't know you the way I know Ruth. When- Ruth was first
in office,. and I -had some things going on in town, and I had to get
support, and I went to Ruth to get that support, she was always willing to
give the support. She then, for whatever reasons, got voted out of office.
To my surprise every time I came ,down- here I saw Ruth sitting. here in the
I)ECEMRER 9, 1997 2. .9
Work Sessions, and I saw her at all the Town Board meetings, the meetings
like we are having tonight. One day I asked her, and she said she was
interested in it enough, and she attends all of these meetings. She then got
back into office again, and she had a desk in the Town here, working
full-time representing .the people from Southold. I naturally hated to see
her lose any election. The reason I want to say to you, your diligence in
representing the people in Southold is appreciated by an awful lot of
people. I know I appreciate it. I don't know where you are going from
here, or what you are doing from now on in, but I would say to you, that
I wish you luck, and good health wherever you go, and whatever you do.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you so much, Ed.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Ed, just to make a couple of clarifications in some
of your statements, for many, many, years in relation to signs, there were
gentleman agreements, that just so many signs would be used by each
party. Somewhere along the line this has gotten out of control, and we had
an evaluation of the campaign, and how it went, and I can speak on behalf
of my part, we have agreed that there were too many signs out there this
year, and it's going to be handled differently on our part next year.
Number two, when the piece came out from the Republican party that did
not have who it was from, the one piece, that was one of my first
questions, and Bill can verify this. I said, where does it say who it's
from? It was an oversight. It was unfortunate. I am not making any
excuses. It did happen. It did go out without a sign on it, but it was not .
an intentional thing, and believe me it will not happen again. I found
equally as not Southold Town, the dirt sheets that were handed out on the
street. This is another offensive thing, that I don't think the people of
Southold ' look forward to, and especially when it attacks members _ of
families, when they are not the people running for, office. So, there is more
than just signs. There are other things. I don't believe we are ready for
hard campaigns like what happens up the other end of the island, . and
other places. I would like to still see us be able to communicate between
the parties to at least have understanding on some of these things, so
thank you for your comments.
ED SIECMANN: Let me ask you one more thing. You know we brag about
how pristine the area is out here. Everybody loves it that way. ; There's
only one thing that is not pristine, and that is the time when we go into
elections. I wish we could apply the word .pristine to the election.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Okay, maybe that's why. they call it politics, Ed,
but like I said, we are not ready for hardball.
ED SIECMANN: It's getting worse all the time.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We are not ready for hardball, but it is being
brought to our town. At this point, is there anyone else that would like to
address the Town Board?
HOWARD MEINKE: My name is Howard Meinke. I am ,speaking for the
North Fork Environmental Council. It's interesting what. Ed Siegmann just
talked about signs. That is why I am standing up. I saw something in the
Traveler that the Sign Code came up before your group, and you were
discussing it, and I gather there was some complaints about it, that it was
also mentioned maybe it would be revisited by you folks, and that it
probably wasn't being enforced very heavily. Now, I think that we don't
have any public transportation to speak of here. All of us spend a lot of
time in our cars. All the people that come here, the second home buyers,
the wine ' tasters, the shoppers, all are in their cars a lot. What we see
from our cars the streetscape on both sides of the road, the signs, the
building fronts, that is our statement to the outside world of who we are,
and I think signs are a part of that. I think the Sign Code is very
important, and - I think now the enforcement is very important. I don't
think we have an enforcement officer now, my understanding is we don't,
that he had been elevated, and I suspect there is not much enforcement,
but I think it is encumbered upon the Town to enforce the Code or rules of
the town, either enforce them, or you take them off the books. I think
enforcement is important. I think the Sign Code from where we are today,
and where we are trying to go in the suture is important, and I think that
to just not enforce it is not the right way to go. I think enforcement is
30 DECEMBER 9, 1997
very important, and I am distressed that you treat lightly the fact that it
has not been .enforced, and I think we should look carefully at it, and
think we should weight the value of the Sign Code. I think very seriously
that what' the incoming folks drive past and see is very, very important.
think the SigH Code is rather similar to the Architectural Review Board.
think that is an all out effort to keep this place this 'place, and not
allowing it to become anyplace. I think that is very important. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. A clarification, Ed Forrester
spends half of his time with Code Enforcement, and the other half as head
of the Building Department, so he is playing a dual role right now. His
title is Director of Code Enforcement. Also, the Sign Code certainly,
feel, could be looked at again, and we do not treat it lightly. We will be
looking at it. Is there anyone else that would like to address the Town
Board? (No response.) If not I will call for Board reports starting on my
left with Councilman Townsend.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: In the last couple of weeks things are winding
down somewhat. I haven't done too many major projects, but I have
conducted an interview as a Personnel Committee Chair, and 1 attended two
functions, which most of the other Board members attended, .one was on
planning by at least ten coalition of planners. It was fascinating. I was
moved. Some of the speakers, who were distinguished, spoke very
eloquently. The problem is, we have heard it before, and everybody there
was moved to action. We really apply these very good ideas that we hear
there, specifically to our town, and I would hope that it one of the
priorities to take specific measures, that we had not yet employed to help
us preserve open spaces. Those would include zoning measures, and other
ways of acquiring property preserving not only our vistas, but our
waterfront, and a lot of great ideas were brought up and very, . very well
put; = and we saw a lot of evidence that we are losing the battle, and
would hope that the general public becomes aware of this. It is a very
important issue. -There were a couple of hundred people there I would
guess, and they were all very committed to the protection of Southold
Town. This morning the Town Board went -to another group of people, that 1
are committed to the protection of the country, the R.O.T.C. group. It I
was very impressive to see that kind of discipline, and commitment to that
organization, and I was proud to ,be a part of the community for that as
well.. One thing, and I think I may roll this over to Alice, because I think
it's an important thing on the agenda today. You may have heard us pass
the resolution relative to the Trinity Transportation Corp. about bringing
leaves into the landfill. That is a significant resolution. Probably we
should have discussed it a little more in detail. We are now going to be
bringing in leaves from other towns, and that is the beginning of a trend
that may help us to reduce land costs, I mean landfill closure costs, so
will let Alice.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Joe. Councilwoman Hussie will give
us the highlight on- it, when it's her time to report. Councilwoman Oliva?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I would just like to echo Joe. It was really
wonderful to see these young people this morning, the R.O.T.C. drill,
guess teams, or whatever you want to call them, but they were really
wonderful. 1 saw them a couple of years ago, but it is even far more
interesting today. They have out of 700 students, they have 100 students
participating in this program, and I think that is a remarkable amount of
kids that are really interested. I think it really does them good, to see
some sort of discipline, and to have to march together, and have to watch
what the other fellow is doing, because that is the way you go also. So, it
was really a very impressive event. I, also, went to the Baykeepers
Workshop, or whatever you want to call it, presentation with' Bobby
Kennedy, Jr., and John Cronin, down in Riverhead the other night; and
really they were both were very moving. They have started the Hudson
Baykeepers, and what they did was, they went around, 'and found the
polluters that were really mucking up the Hudson River, and got them into
Court, and got. them to change their ways, and right now according to
these people the Hudson River is one of the cleanest rivers in the whole
world, and they didn't just take it to 'protect one species; or one thing,
but a whole way of living for the people themselves that live around the
Hudson River, and they are looking to find somebody here for the
Peconics to be a Baykeeper, to really go around and educate people,
DECEMBER 9, 1997 31
watch out for polluters. We have a very wonderful Peconic Estuary
Program. They are coming out with a management plan, and it's a good
management plan. There are lot of things here to manage, but we .,still need
to find out just what is causing our little friend the Brown Tide, and there
is some money for direct research, and hopefully one of these years we will
find that out, because it's wonderful to manage everything, and all these
things should be managed. We have to find out what the source is all about
first. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN MOORE: I had the opportunity to attend the Scenic Byways
Advisory Committee meeting last week, and it is an opportunity for the
public to speak with the consultants that have been hired to get public
input to the consultants to understand what issues are important to us, as
we look at the Scenic Byways Program, that we are embarking upon.
thought it was interesting to hear of a wide variety of community input.
The Town decided that anyone that wishes to serve on that advisory
committee is welcome to join that committee, and so there is quite a wide
range of participation, and of interest. It was quite an interesting
evening. We have heard about the N.J.R.O.T.C. Program, which is quite
impressive, and the number of, young men and women involved In that, and
it is phenomenal, quite a program. Years ago it was eight and ten students
in it, now it's grown to some 100 over the three schools. The thing that
interested me was a comment the Commanding Officer had this morning, and
that was .that. Creenport competes with Southold, Southold competes with
Mattituck, in sport, academics, (tape change.) Keep your eye on your
papers, Arts in Southold Town are doing great programs out here, so if
you are looking for something to beat the winter doldrums, watch -the,
papers, and go and attend some of these great concerts they are providing.
Lastly, I wish you all safe, healthy and happy holidays. Thank you.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I guess I will take up where Joe left off talking
about the leaf contract. We do have a contract, which is a pilot program of
accepting leaves from out of town. The people that are taking our municipal
solid waste out of town, are going to be bringing leaves, ..and leaves only
into our landfill. They are paying us for that opportunity, and we are
quite pleased to have that at this time, because more mulch and more things
that we can gather together to do the capping of our landfill, most .of which
we can get cheapest or if they are going to pay us for it,: the, better for
us. That means we don't have to pay $40.00 a ton for top soil and that .
sort of thing. So, , we are doing this on a trial .basis. Those of you who
are conversed with the Town Code realize that we are not supposed to
really take . anything from out of town into the Town Landfill, but we. are
doing this on a small scale, and small time, and I think it should be good
for us. While I am on the landfill, I have got to tell the public, that
since we have been putting all the municipal solid waste in those bags, and
trucking it out of town, thanks to your recycling effort we have saved
roughly a half a million dollars, because you are now recycling the stuff
that you can, and today it costs us $55.00 a ton to get rid of the garbage,
but it only costs us a net of about $.15.00. a ton to get rid of the.
recyclables. So, you can see that that is a $40.00 difference. It is very
important. I have to add to what Bill was talking about, the Scenic
Byways Advisory Committee. You notice that we appointed two more people
to that committee today. Anybody out there we are welcoming you. If you
would think of it as a sort of funnel situation. We have the advisory
committee up here, then there is the steering committee, and there are the
consultants. We try to reach everybody in town. Letters were sent to
practically every organization in town. There have been ads In the paper,
but this does not mean that because you are not part of an organization, or
that you happen to miss the ad, that your input is not needed. We need
your input, so if you would advise the Supervisor's Office of your interest
in becoming a member of the Advisory Committee, we certainly would
appreciate it. I .don't think I can say anything else.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is fine. You did very well.
JUSTICE EVANS: ' I just want to say to Judy, that Betty Neville was in
here, our soon-to-be Town Clerk, and it really brought home the realization
that the next meeting is your last meeting with us. It's kind of a scary
feeling. 1 am sure Betty will do a good job, but it is very sad, too.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: It is kind of exciting for me.
3 2 nECEMBER 9, 1997
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Judy already has plans for her garden. I would
like to just report a few things. l also attended this morning, as did Judy,
the R.O.T.C. in Mattituck, and I think everyone had a comment that kind
of stuck with them, and the comment that stuck with me was that the Corp
of Cadets is comprised of 100 young people. They gave last year over
2,000 hours of community service. I was quite impressed by the fact that
they not only are learning leadership skills, which they will use the rest
of their life, but also they were giving back to the community, so they are
to be congratulated. Also, I had meeting with Mr. Siracusa, who is head
of the DOT, and Pat Acampora, our Assemblywoman, with the Mattituck
Chamber. They are looking to make some changes, not only in signs in
Mattituck, but in beautification and planting on the medium and so forth,
so, of course when the road belongs to the State or the County you have
to get their permission to do certain things from the engineers, so
hopefully all the nice things Mattituck wants to do to beautify the Love
Lane area will work out with the State and the County. I, also, attended
the work session that was held Saturday morning at Southold High School
with the different planners. Steve Wick talked about the book he wrote..
Steve Jones from Suffolk County Planning, Bob Urill, Regional Planning
Association, Ed McMahon, Conservative Fund, Mike LaGrande, Suffolk
County Water Authority, Armando Carbinele was from the Cape Cod
Commission, and Bill Klein was the American Planning Association. It was
interesting, but as Joe said, there was much of it that we heard before.
Some of it we are working on, and have put into place, so we will be
trying to give more information to the public as far as the planning that is
going on in town, because this seems to be a major topic. On Sunday, the
7th, Pearl Harbor Day, I was honored that I was able to address the
Legionnaires at the American Legion. Their service covered not only
memorializing to the people that lost their life in Pearl Harbor, but they
also dedicated their new flag pole. I was honored to be a part of that. A
week ago Monday 1 attended the Eastern Long Island Business Executives
Roundtable, which is held at the college in Riverhead once a month.
Councilman Moore attended with me, but the speakers that evening were on
small businesses, and there were representatives. we had Rudy Bruer, who
Is one of our Chamber presidents, Southold-Greenport Chamber, he was the
speaker. They also had people from Sag Harbor, Easthampton,
Southampton, Westhampton, who talked in relation to how Tanger Mall is
effecting them, and different areas that effects the small businesses on the
East End. As they said at the conference, Saturday morning, the economy
has to be strong and healthy, as well as. the environment. I attended the
Scenic Byway meeting. We look forward to more of you joining us, and
giving public input, so that may develop the best possible direction. I also
traveled up to Albany. I serve on the Executive Board of the New York
Towns and Villages. Our meeting covered the legislation, which is going to
be presented at the annual meeting in New York in February, very
interesting some of the legislation. As soon as it comes through in final
form I will be reviewing it with the Board, so that when I attend this as
the delegate 1 can express the opinion of the Board members in Southold,
and how they feel about different areas .of legislation. That there is the
normal of the department head meetings, Graffiti and Vandalism. I met with
Southland, 7-11, in relation to some problems in that area. I, also, had a
young Eagle Scout come in, that wants to work with the town. He would
like to build a deck' on the Nutrition Center, so we are quite exciting about
that, in order to earn his Eagle Badge. We try to work with young people
like this when they come into Town Hall. Joe, Frank Carlin called me, and
he wasn't able to make tonight's meeting, and he will not be making the
December 23rd meeting, but he wanted me to apologize to you, because he
was wrong in his statement in relation to the cost of street lights. He
clarified it with Jake, and it's $10.00 a month, and he wanted you to know
that, please, accept his apology. He, also, wished everyone a Happy
Holiday. I have several more things. First, I would like to thank our
Highway Superintendent Ray Jacobs with the fall clean-up once again. It
makes extra work for that department, but it is a service that is almost
like a tradition in Southold, that helps all of us. Many of us that have
pick-ups, and so forth, or have someone clean our yard, were able to cart
the leaves ourself up to the ' Landfill. But, there are many of us, I am
sure, that can get out and rake for exercise, but does not have a truck or
the vehicle to cart it up to the Landfill, so Mr. Jacobs does. On behalf of
the Board we would like to thank Ray Jacobs. They took in 1,093 tons this
year. That is lot of leaves and waste, so, thank you, Jake. 1 have one
more thing, which is a kind of a sharing thing, and this is the season. It's
DECEMBER 9, 1997 33
called, Tubfrim. It is from Norway, and what they do, they find in
Norway that there is a big market for cancelled American stamps. This was
brought into me by Harold Schwindt, who is in the Legion, and they have
been collecting. Judy's Office has been collecting, 1 think Town Hall, but
we would like the public also, with Christmas cards coming in, just take a
moment and cut off the- stamps, or tear them off, but don't ruin the little
holes that go around the stamp. Stay away from the stamp. Give it a little
border, and if you could throw them in a little baggie,. and bring them
here into Town Hall, we will see they get where they are going. What they
do is recycle them, and sell them, and the funds are used. .it was originally
started for research in tuberculosis, and helping children with
tuberculosis, and now it is being done all over the world, that they now
help children of many handicapped areas. So, please, let's all join
together. We should be doing these things year-round, and not just the
holiday season, but if you would save your stamps, and drop them off
here, or to Harold at' the Legion, we would be very happy to have that
support in that program. At this point, I completed my report. Our next
meeting is the 23th, so I will take this opportunity to wish everyone
Happy Hanukkah, . Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays, and please, have
a safe trip home.
ED SIEGMANN: Can I ask . Alice Hussie? I attended the meeting on
LIPA, and also- was there when they passed that 1/4% sale tax, it went to
8 1/2% sales tax. After that meeting I contacted Mike Caracciola's office,
because he voted against it. I said to him, that if we are. going to bail
out Brookhaven, and the school district, when they collect' their_ taxes
now, why don't some of that tax money that they collect get divided
amongst the towns. If we are going to help .them on one hand, I don't see
why some rule couldn't be made that they contribute to helping also, and
one thing I want ask on the LIPA deal. There were engineers there that
spoke about some new method of creating electricity that there- were
meetings being. held out in Texas about it. Do you know who the
corporations are?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I don't know but I can certainly find out.
ED SIEGMANN: Would you find out who those corporations ,are, and _maybe
let me' know?
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: One of the new sources of energy or fuel for
generating electricity is used motor oil, and they call it distilled. I'll
find out and let you know.
ED SIEGMANN: The engineers explained there. They were very good, but
I didn't get any of the names of the companies that is doing it.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Okay, I'm making a note.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I would like to make a correction. Judy says I
said, Harold, it's Edward Schwindt, or drop them off, and we'll see that
he gets them. 'May I have a motion to adjourn?
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilman Townsend, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at
8:30 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans,
Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie,
Supervisor Cochran.
