COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I ' ll defer to Councilman Murdock on the Landfill. SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murdock? COUNCILMAN MURDOCK:. ..Councilman Townsend and I went to Toronto last week to see a facility run as a joint venture by the Country of Canada and Browning Ferris Industries as to handling municipal solid waste. ' It is an experimental station and they process garbage in many ways and .prepare it..! Almost like a gourmet school. They do many things with garbage that we dreamed were never possible. It was a very interesting, very enlightening experience. I do believe that we will be able to adapt some of the things we saw to Southold's refuse stream when we' re ready. It just so happens the gentleman who is running this facility will run multi-town' s facility in Deer Park when multi-town comes on line in about four years. It was very en- lightening to see the things that they can do and the ways that they can separate garbage and how workable it is. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Councilman Townsend, anything you want to add to that? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, just the fact that processing solid waste is not cheap. Up there they' re funded by the Canadian government . It ' s an experimental plant so they do go to- somewhat more expense than they would have to if they were just looking for the most efficient way to handle garbage. The tipping that they're paying is $19. 00 a ton and then it ' s subsidized by some unknown amount. The fellow that ran the thing mentioned to us that technology for small areas like 152 JUNE 8, 1982 ours has not had a result yet so it will be a difficult task for us to decide exactly which way to go. We did see a lot of things that I felt were immediately applicable in terms of compacting and some source separation devices, but it was a fantastic array of technology and we were talking with some of the most knowledgable people in the field. I thought it was very beneficial. It was worth the hysteria in the end. We were supposed to fly out of there around 2 : 00. We finally got a plane in Montreal around 10: 00. It turns out there was a -psychiatrist ' s convention and 25, 000 psychiatrists all trying to go to New York. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: We tried to get plane—we- couldn' t get a plane from Toronto. We tried to go to Buffalo, we tried to. go to Rochester, we tried to go to Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore. We couldn ' t get a plan anywhere within striking distance of New York City. These 10, 000 psychiatrists were all leaving Toronto at the same time. I guess most of them must come to New York City. It was a real horror scene. SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Nickles? COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I 'd just like to report that the County is dredging Goldsmith Inlet and the Town is moving the sand spoil from that area down to Kenny' s Beach in an effort to have the beach in order so it may be used this summer. SUPERVISOR PELL: When did that start? COUNCILMAN NICKLES: It started the end of last week. SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murphy? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I ' d like to report I met with Jim Monsell from the Village of Greenport, and I represented the Town at. the D.E.C. hearing which they had with H2M to critique their wastewater treatment plant proposal. I was..most impressed with the way D. E.C. did this and the expertise that they put into questioning., H2M, who is our consultant who is putting this proposal in. We stand to receive funding about 92z% and we have an extremely high priority because of our very critical water situation here. So it is going along very well and that ' s it. SUPERVISOR PELL: Judge Edwards? JUSTICE EDWARDS : Just going along with the garbage plant, -Ms . Oliva and myself flew down to New Jersey. The flying arrangements were tremendous, I left the Island at quarter of seven, Ms. Oliva was at Mattituck at quarter after seven, we kept right on going. It was - beautiful and we got down to New Jersey, looked the plant over, learned a lot about it, it was very educational, and had a beautiful flight back. All in all there are better ways to get rid of garbage than burying it that ' s for sure. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: The only thing I have to report is that I have set in this chair for two and a half years and I have received more telephone calls this past weekend over the flooding and rain storm than I have received at home in two and a half years. I think every Councilman up her said, "Call the Supervisor" , because I did get a lot of phone calls. Also I want to add I -have lived in the same house for seventeen years and this is the first time I had water in my basement . We had a lot of rain and a lot of problems did arise and some people are here tonight to address the Board about theirs and we will get to that at the end of the meeting. Also I would like to recognize the fact we have two scouts here working on their Communication Badge I believe . Is that correct? " (Yes. ) What are your names? (Michael Schroeder and Scott Gannon) . For you people and the boy' s information, the Town Board started at 8 : 00 o' clock this morning; broke for an hour and a half for lunch, we quit at 6: 00 o'clock tonight . You might think we are going through this kind of fast, but we spent from 8: 00 o' clock this morning until 6: 00 o' clock tonight discussing every item that is brought up tonight , the pros and. cons. So government .doesn '.t move quite this fast as you will see us moving in the next hour. It : took all day to get to this point . T JUNE 8, 1982 ,'<;.;. 153 II .

So if it is out a lot of the programs we did hope to do this year will have to be funded other ways or curtailed. 31.

SUPERVISOR PELL: At this time what we do is we open up the meeting to the public. Does anybody wish to address the Town Board? I' m going to start. with the two scouts first . Anything you would like to address the Town Board on? (No response. ) Does anyone else wish to address the Town Board?, Gary Lillis. MR. GARY LILLIS: Gentlemen, I' m here to address the Town Board on a current problem that exists along the Old North Road, Southold. With me tonight are some of several neighbors who live in the area, Mr. and Mrs . Cahill, Mrs. Ward, my wife Nancy, Mr. and Mrs. Schaeffer, and Mrs . Sanders. Some of us that live there are affected a great deal more than others, myself in particular, but the problem that JUNE 8 , 1982 163 does exist does affect all of us to an extent . I would like to thank you for the opportunity to address 'yoti, and= I also would like to thank you for listening to my telephone' calls over the weekend and for returning my call. The problem that does exist there, for the benefit of the people in the audience, is -that currently the road for perhaps a stretch of 600 - 700 feet is under water and the Town Highway Depart- ment has been working on it , we do appreciate their assistance. Several of the workers for the Town spent the entire night pumping last night which was greatly appreciated. A dent in the road was made. In fact a great deal of water was removed from the road. The road perhaps now is passable. It ' s still under water but at least it ' s passable, and basically what I would like to do--Mr. Dean the Highway Superintendent was up yesterday and I spoke to him. We drove around the area and I asked him if there was a worse problem that existed in Southold Town. I said, "Mr —Dean, please just level with me, is there a more serious problem in the Town?" I realize as Tor. Pell said earlier in the even- ing we did have unusual circumstances over the weekend, however , I do feel that our problem is perhaps a little more unique than most of the problems that exist in Town. Seemingly most of the problems now have subsided or actually ended, whereas our problem will probably be there for quite some days. I ' ll give an example, personally I ' ve been without drinking water--we turn on our water and we get the color of farm runoff . It comes out of our sink, faucets and so forth. We had to evacuate the children from the home. The house was completely encircled with water. Needless to say, on the news I hear problems that exist in other places, but it seems like the weight of the world is on your shoulders at times like that . I understand that compared to .people in Connecticut and so forth, perhaps we should feel fortunate, but I do feel' that we have one of the more serious problems in Southold Town. In discussing it with Mr. Dean I asked him if something perhaps could be done to rectify the situation that exists there an'd', he said that "he would-- he said in fact that I could describe the situation in any way that I chose and he would agree with me; that any- description I could make was agreeable to him. I asked him if something could be done, could the problem be resolved and he said, "Well, yes, you know if you can land a man on the moon, I' m sure it could be rectified. " Well, anyway, Mr. Dean said that he would propose to the Town Board that a study be made of the area, an engineering study, test borings and so forth, that might entail quite a complicated study, but that a study of the area be made and that a solution to the problem be presented to the Board and I would like at this time to say that personally I have--my future is in Southold Town. I ' ve made a commitment with my family to stay here. We enjoy Southold Town, and I would hope that I have the faith and confidence in our elected officials that they will go along with Mr. Dean for a studv of the area and that hopefully a solution to the continuing problem can be arrived at . I want to emphasize the continuing problem, we have had times in the past--we lived there since 1979--this is probably the third time that the road has been impassable. There have been several times when it has been very threatening, rain has stopped fortunately at just the right moment before the road was about to go under and so forth. It is a. hardship living under those con- ditions. As I say, I do feel confident that a solution to the problem can be arrived at , a solution that all people in the area, the farmers, the residents of the area can .reach an agreement on. That ' s basically what I wanted to address the Board with this evening and once again thank you for your time, thank you for answering my phone calls. I asked you if at all possible--I do have photographs from previous episodes but I felt if you gentlemen could possibly--I realize that your time is usually very well taken-- I did ask you that if you did have the opportunity if you could stop by and see first - hand because I feel that they do say a picture is worth a thousand words but I feel seeing the problem with your own eyes is much more impressive than seeing any photographs that I could present of the area. So, in summary I would just like to say thank you for this opportunity tonight to address you gentlemen and I do hope that something can be instituted to at least start rectifying the problem. Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Gary. ?Would any Board member like to comment before I do? (No response. ) Anybody else want to comment on this from your group, Gary? Anybody else want to be heard? MR. GREG CAHILL: I ' ve been there I guess about two years before Gary came and there are at least two other instances where the same thing happened. There are six kids who live on that particular stretch of road. There' s no way that you can let them out. I had 164 JUNE 8, 1982 to carry my youngest son,who is eight years old, out of the house on my back to get to my car which had to be parked 200 yards up the road. That' s how bad it gets. It ' s very deceiving. When the road is covered with water if you took a step off one side of that road onto the other side you would be submerged in about four feet of water. If a child fell into it it would. be extremely dangerous. If a driver came down and decided that he couidn' t go all the way through and try to make a "U" turn it would be very easy for him just to get his front wheels off that road onto the shoulder and his car would' be under water too. I think it ' s very dangerous situation. I think in a case of emergency we 'd be hard pressed to get out of there fast. For myself I know we've gone to' considerable expense. We' ve had a couple of disaster loans in years past. I 'm sure--I 've already called the flood insurance people and I ' ll have to go through the same thing with this case. I had, as of ,yesterday, about two and a half feet of water in- my basement . It gets very discouraging. Every time there' s a hard rain--Gary and I. discussed this--the tension is so much that you can' t sleep because you 're worried. Is it going to happen again? Is it going to happen again? We love the area. My wife and I, we've discussed it before, we would have sold that house before but we feel there is no way that I could stick it on- someone else with a fair conscience. So, we 're more or less trapped unless something can be done. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Anyone else wish to address the Board? Mr . Dean did address the Board today and requested funds to have an eng-ineering study made and test borings. Back in ' 79 that Gary spoke of, Mr . Dean did take some steps at that time to help alleviate some of the problems. Now, the Board did tell Mr. Dean to come back on the 22nd with a concrete proposal for .the Board to evaluate to see what could be done up there and what it would cost. So it is under way. He will be reporting back to us in two weeks. At that time the Board will have the data to see what it .is going to cost and see where they are going to get the funds from and what :can be done. i MR. LILLIS: . !Hill we be informed of the ongoing-- SUPERVISOR PELL: Just keep calling my office like you have done in the past and we will keep you informed , yes. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I really don 't know if the firm would be able to do the survey in that two weeks, but he is contacting an -engineer- ing firm who does site work as their specialty, to come over and look at the situation. I don' t know if we will have an answer for you in two weeks. We 're working on it. SUPERVISOR PELL: In two weeks we' ll know if we are going to engage the firm to do it . Mrs. Ward-- MRS. `YARD: We still have water there and the Town has stopped pumping on request of one of the farmers in the area and we' re afraid that if it' starts to rain again, because we have a head start, we' re going ,to be in the same position, we're going to be pumping water from our basements for the next month. That ' s with two sump pumps going. We keep water there longer than anyone else does in the Town. SUPERVISOR PELL: I'm aware, Mr . Dean did mention that today. I had three pumps going in my house to keep it drv. Anybody else wish to address the Board? (No response. ) If not , the motion is in order .to adjourn. Moved by Councilman Murphy, seconded by Justice Edwards, it was RESOLVED that there being no further business to come before this Town Board meeting adjournment be called at 8 : 45 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Supervisor Pell. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. Judith T.
