Martin Trent, Ruth Oliva, Jim Monsell and Joe Baier of the Suffolk

advised the Board that contamination is the major problem and would

on the state and county governments and demand an accounting of actions

be established to promote public understanding of the water .supply
situation. ' Joe Baier stated a number of companies are interested

to aid and advise the Town on selection of a filter program. Council-
man Murphy asked the Committee to help the Town establish the Water
Management Program and suggested the Town Board ask the Town Attorney
to look into the creation of a Water Management Department. Councilman
Nickles said he is not satisfied that such a department is the function
of the Town. Councilman Townsend stated he would like to see it as
cost-effective as possible and seek outside management. The Board —
suggested the Committee discuss the watershed idea with the Planning

years ended December 31 , 1981 and 1982.
2: Highway Department monthly report -. September 1983.
3. Fishers Island Ferry District monthly report - September 1983.

SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murphy, anything you care to report at

278 October 4, 1983
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Nothing further, Bill.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Nickles?
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Nothing.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murdock?
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Things are moving well at the Landfill. We
positioned the building. Hopefully construction will start very
quickly. We are also going to have a Landfill Committee meeting
at 8 :00 A.M. at the Highway Superintendent' s Office on Friday.
Thank you, Bill.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Townsend?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Last Saturday I attended a seminar sponsored
by Nature Conservancy on innovative and protective land techniques.
Since Southold is about to undertake such a technique I found this
very interesting and discussing with the experts the proposed problems
and advantages of the techniques was very enlightening. I'm excited
about the prospect of some creative zoning in this Town and I think
we're in for a hot couple of years. That' s all I have.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Supervisor' s report is the Town is moving
along slowly, but we're moving. We did receive, this week, the Civil
Service List for Bay Constable and interviews will be held and perhaps
by the next Board meeting we will have somebody to recommend to the
Board to appoint to the position. We received notice today from
Congressman Carney' s office that the Town was awarded a 1. 3 million
federal grant for construction of a sewage treatment plant addition
to the Greenport Municipal Plant that is already there. The state
will put up part of the money, but the federal has awarded today 1. 3
million dollars for this project. The total project is priced at
1 . 8 million dollars. This is a nice feather in our cap, something
we applied for many many years ago in conjunction with the Village
of Greenport and it will help us to relieve some of the problems that-
we have up at the Landfill.
. 8. Report from the North Fork Animal Welfare. League - September

tenance, platform, ramp and floating pier, Budd' s Pond, Shelter Island
Sound, Southold. All comments regarding this permit application must

is posted on the Town Clerk' s Bulletin Board.
3. (a) Order from the New York State DOT concerning speed limits.
This is something the Town Board has requested. There ' s (a) , (b)
and (c) , three different areas out in Orient/East Marion. We requested
this change through members of the Town Board through people in the
community, the local police department and the .DOT. Now this is finally

the Town Clerk' s Bulletin Board giving the description. The signs
will be posted by the DOT and the pavement markings will be changed
where necessary.
SUPERVISOR PELL: This last one the Town Board asked the State to
come in and evaluate the speeds on this road about a year ago, and
if you read the press last week, a letter addressed to me and the
Town Board says that it has been a year since we wrote to you and
we haven't heard from you. The State moves slower than the Town of
Southold moves. It took the State a year to get us this report back.

III. COMMUNICATIONS.
1. Letter and check. The Town of Southold received $19 ,900 . 00
advance money for sewage treatment project that we have going on on
Fishers Island. This is advance money that came through from the
State. This is a state and federal grant again, but this one is for
the Island folks. (Letter from Henry Souther Engineer, Inc. )
24a) Letter from Southwood Property Owners Associastion, Inc.
and which I will respond to saying the removal of Jockey Creek
Bridge. Jockey Creek Bridge is not going to be removed, it is going
to be rebuilt and raised 1.3 inches, but it is not going to be removed,
other than to be repaired and rebuilt.
2. (b) From Southwood Property Owners Assocation, Inc. asking
the Town Board to look into the possibility of joining with the
Greenport Power Company and perhaps pushing LILCO out.
2. (c) Letter from Southwood Property Owners Association, Inc.
opposing the levy of $5. 00 by the Town Board for the use of the
Landfill and the beaches.
3. Letter from the Southold Senior Citizens Club, Inc. in
reference to the drinking water machine that we have up at the Center._
It is being used and I informed the Town Board today there is over
500 gallons of water going out of there a week. That' s approximately
a hundred gallons today, and people come in to use their bottles to
use the machine and it disturbs them during their meeting, so we have
to look into to see what we can do there.
4. Reference to the Horton Point Steps that the Town put back
in this year after they were out fora couple of years. The person
(Simone Swan) as to how to remedy some of the problems up there. The
Board will consider it.
. 5. From the D.E.C. informing us of our SPDES Permit. It will
be extended. That is the one we use;;,-to operate the Landfill under.
6. Letter to the Town Board, Department of Transportation, didn__'t
know we had one, reference to Mattituck Park District and parking
up there on the public road for people to go into the district. That
was referred to the Town Board and we will discuss it. (From Leonard
H. Blyskal and Theresa Blyskal. )
7. From the Department of Labor informing us not to pay all the money due to the outfit (John T. Montecalvo, Inc. ) that layed
the black-top on the Sound Avenue road. There is a little labor
disagreement between the contractor and the employees and the Town
will hold back the sum of about $9 ,000. 00 until it is settled, at
the direction of the Department of Labor.
8. From the Cutchogue Lioness Club. They would like to use
the Center again this to put on a breakfast of some sort and it will
be granted. It was very successful .last year.
9. Letter from Bob Graeb commending our Police of Chief and
the police officers of the Southold Town Police Department. Sunday
afternoon there was approximately 150 motorcycles in the Cutchogue
in the shopping center and our police patrolled it and there were
no incidents. It' s nice to hear the good we do sometimes.
10. A letter from a resident (Ralph and Gladys Milne) encouraging
the Board to move with the Village of Greenport (electric) if at all
possible.
11. Local Government Forum being put on. by the Secretary of
State. The date was changed to Tuesday, October 25th at 2 : 00 P.M.
This was supposed to be tomorrow, but they changed the date again.
12. The report to the Town Board on the Captain Kidd Water
District Study by Holzmacher, McLendon & Murrell, P.C. The report, ,, :
is on file if anybody cares to review it.
13. From the Township of Islip. What we're trying to do is
get the Towns, the school districts and all the districts we can
to pool a stipend and hire a lobbyist, is perhaps the word I 'm going
use, it might be the wrong word, to act as an intervenor with the
P.S.C. when LILCO applies for a rate increase. Somebody to represent
the ten east towns, a professional. We could pass a resolution at
each Town Board level and send it in but we do not have the expertise
to give them the backup information that they need. So instead of
one Town trying to do it on his own, we' re trying to get the ten towns
to put up perhaps $2 ,000. 00 for the smaller towns, $3,000. 00 for the
bigger towns and the school districts-to get involved and we can speak
and hire a professional to represent us at these hearings.
14. A letter from the Oysterponds Union Free School District
again praising our Chief of Police Dan Winters for the fine job he
did with their school. As one Councilman said today, two of these
at once, you'd think our Chief of Police was running for public office
next month.
15. From the N.Y.S. Department of Transportation with goes
along with the enforcement that was read under public notices regarding
280 October 4, 1983
speed limits and pavement markings in East Marion. It' s the letter
that came with the legal notice. -A letter will go back saying thank
you for the help even though it took you a year to give it to us.
16. Again from Commissioner Larocca, N.Y.S.-D.O.T. We asked
for---how long, John, for that light on Boisseau? (12 years. ) We've
been trying for twelve years to get a light on Boisseau Avenue and
the Main Road. Assemblyman Sawicki arranged a meeting in Southold
Town with. the DOT and Councilman Nickles and myself was there for .
part of it, trying to convince them that we need a light at that place
and so far they listened to us but they haven' t given us the light.
17. From PRC Speas, Consultants, on the Airport. The contract".
was signed and asking us to set up a Technical Advisory Committee
to work with them, which'we will do. under Resolutions.

COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I 'd just like to make one comment. I think
this week for this meeting, and the press might note this, we
received a terrific amount of mail from the New Suffolk residents
and the basic sense of their letters was demanding a hearing on
this zoning change application, and I think it should be noted
that the Town Board is following the procedures as set forth by
the State Environmental Quality Review Act and that' s why this
first .hearing will relate to the Draft Environmental Impact State-
ment and subsequent to that there ' s at least one or two or ther
SEQR, as well call them, SEOR processes , which is the abbreviation
for the State Environmental Quality Review, before we will actually
have the zoning hearing. But I want to emphasize there will be
a hearing. The purpose of the SEQR process is so that there can
be ample public input into anything that relates to the environment,
and that' s the procedures we're going through. So, please if you
will, correspond to our constituents for us that we are going
to have a hearing - several.
