Holzmacher, McLendon and Murrell , P.C. met with the Board to discuss
outstanding bills for engineering services on the Sound Avenue road
project and Street Lighting Program. The total to date of outstanding
bills is $15,999. 94; , $702. 00 is ' owed to April on the Street Lighting
Program, and approximately $10,700. 00 on the Sound Avenue Project .
Councilman Murdock explained the budgetary process for state and
federal funding whereby moneys are not provided to the Town in advance
and the Town has never promised to use up-front money for these services.
The Board questioned H2M on the cost overruns for engineering services.
Mr. Sioss advised the Board there is expected to be an additional
_ ____$5, 000.00 in engineering services for the Sound Avenue Project .
The Board was also advised that H2M, in consultation with Superin-
tendent of Highways Dean has determined that it would not be feasible
to do the final paving of the Sound Avenue Project this fall . The
drains and temporary surface must be installed and allow for change
in temperature and settling. They would like to do the final paving
in the spring. The only catch is that the bid has been let .and bids
received for paving this fall. Mr. Sioss stated he would contact
the lowest bidder to determine whether he would be willing to do
the job in the spring and hold the price as bid.-.-Air. Dombeck advised
the Board that the Town of Southold is definitely in the 1983 funding
for the Wastwater Disposal Project and if anybody drops off the 1982 list
Southold will replace them and receive the funds . Plans and specifica-
tions must be completed by the end of March to keep to the required
schedule. The Board must recommit themselves to the schedule or they
will be dropped from the priority. list .--Councilman Murdock advised
Mr. Holzmacher and Mr. Dombeck of the Board' s unhappiness with what
appeared to be Gary Loesch withholding information on the Town' s
status on this project . Mr. Dombeck 'assured the Board that Mr. Loesch
never withheld information. H2AI was not aware that the State was
revising the priority "list and therefore could not fight to keep
Southold' s place on the list.
12 Noon - Merlon Wiggin met with the Board to advise them that
municipal solid waste plant energy credits will expire the end of
December and will not be renewed. To take advantage of the credits
the Board must have a contract by mid-November. Mr. Wiggin was

that Solwin� is very much interested in putting a windmill farm at the

I . REPORTS
SUPERVISOR PELL: The following reports are on file in the .Town Clerk' s
Office and anyone wishing to review them can do so at the same.
1. North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. (September 1982) .
2. Board of Town Trustees (September 1982) .
3. Long Island Cablevision (September 1982) .
4. Justice Tedeschi ' s monthly report (September 1982) .
5. Assessor ' s monthly report (September 1982) .
6. Police Department ' s monthly report (September 1982) .
7. Judge Edwards ' monthly report* (September 1982) .
8. Councilmen' s reports. Councilman Townsend, anything to
report?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Just that as soon as the election push is over
I 'm meeting with John Berryman on the Landmark Ordinance again to see
if we can work out something and see what he would agree to. ;
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murdock.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: On Sunday I attended the meeting of the Southold
Town Fire Commissioner ' s Association. They invited the Town Board to
attend that meeting. Generally when we get invited to attend a meet-
ing it ' s because somebody has- a complaint and their complaint deals
with the portable kerosene heaters . We have been in communication
between theSupervisor ' s Office and the As since the first
of the year and they objected to the Town Board changing the Town
Building Code in that we allow portable kerosene heaters . We changed
the Town Building Code to agree with the Fire Code the Town of Southold
adopted and the New York State Fire Code that was adopted subsequent
to that. We felt that two codes did allow and one code did not , so
we changed the one code that did not . I told the Fire Commissioners
if it were the position of the fire service in the Town of Southold
that they still feel that it ' s a matter of public safety , that they
should organize themselves and as well as the other fire organization .,
which is the Fire Chief ' s Council in the Town of Southold, . and bring
that information forward to the Town Board with the recommendation
that we ban portable kerosene heaters in the Town of Southold and
if they think that that is the prudent thing to do, I 'm very sure
that this Town Board would probably ban these heater.s *in the interest
of fire safety and personal safety. This Town Board represents or
tries to represent the will of the people and if it ' s the will of
the people of this Town that we do not use portable heaters I think
this Board would be glad to change our existing code. They purport
that they will do that , so we should hear more from them. And their
other complaint deals with, again, the Village of Cutchogue, it was
moved by the Cutchogue Fire Department , they 're still upset with
people parking in the "No-Parking" zones coming off of the Main
Road adjacent to Nolan' s Market . They feel it is a hazardous con-
dition. They haven't gotten the action on it that they would like
to see and I told them I would report that to the Board, which I
did in the earlier session. Thank you, Bill .
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Councilman Nickles.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I ' d just like to bring everybody up to date on
the situation at the Senior Citizens/Youth Activities Building in
Peconic. As you all know I recommended to the Board,at a special
meeting last Thursday evening,that we close the building for
occupancy until we could have further tests done or accurate tests
done to determine the exact amount of formaldehyde vapors within
the Senior Citizen/Youth Building. The Town Board, acting prudently
I think, did close the building and authorized the expenditure of
hiring a pribate laboratory to come out and test for formaldehyde
vapors, which they did on Saturday. They have just been given the
report within the last half hour, plus a letter from the Suffolk
County Board of Health relative to the results of our private lab
testing and I believe some time later in the meeting we' ll. discuss
295 OCTOBER 19, , 1982
this further and make a recommendation at that time whether we're
going to keep , the building closed or open it . We did meet with
the chemical parent company of Tripolymer , which is the C. P. Chemical
Company, earlier here, you may have observed us in Executive Session.
They had just been to the building and were making a report to us
along with Pan Tech, our consulting firm. So all that information
has come before them in the last half hour and later on in the day
a determination will be made as to when we are going to open the
building and what remedial actions will be taken there.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Councilman Murphy?
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Thank you, Bill . Judge Edwards and myself last
Thursday attending one of the last meetings of the Suffolk County
Water Studies Alternate Methods of Supplying Water. We should be
— get.t.ing the written report , I hope, in about two weeks giving us a 1.
breakdown of the cost involved in .the cost involved in the various
methods of supplying water and protecting our water. I think this
is coming at a perfect time where we could use this information .to
incorporate in the Master Plan and to help the Planning Department
in their decisions.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Judge Edwards?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing from this end.
SUPERVISOR PELL: The only thing I have to report is I must ask the
Village of Greenport to start to negotiate with us for the fire
hydrants that are outside the Village limits that are the responsibility
of the Town., This year will end a four and a half year contract we
have with them, so to sit down and negotiate with them I will ask
Joe and Larry to meet with the proper Village officials and I will so
notify them to make a report back to the Board as soon as they can.
Joe, remember now that, you represent the Town and not the Village
as Mayor.

amended? The next one is the same way.

is increasing the tax rate which is up--I don' t want to increase the
42/ by 100% to 9% and it was already at 9% , so I ' d like the record
to show that from the figures now given to us by the Supervisor in
his office yesterday that the tax rate increase in the_,budget as
presented to the Town Board is 9% not 42% .
