Councilman Murdock outlined his proposal alternatives to municipal ownership in resource recovery. He said if the Town goes ,into this project with the five east end towns it will surely cost as . much as $74 ,937, 000 . 00 in 1980 dollars and Southold Town' s share will be $15 , 000,000. 00 . This does not include the solution of the sludge problem at a cost ':of approximately $3,000,000. 00 and covering and capping the present landfill a.rPa at $3 ,000 , 000. 00. He suggests meetings with engineers , Energy Development Corp and H2M as well as the DEC and an inspection of the plants at Mt . Holly, New Jersey . and Salem, Virginia by Councilman Murdock and Highway Superintendent Dean. 2 : 10 P .M. - The Board metvlth William Price, Sr. of McMann-Price Agency , Donald Gullakson of the McMann^Price Agency, Robert McCarthy fo the Roy Reeve Agency and Andrew Stype of the Val Stype Agency and Mr. William Mullen, consultant to the Town` Board concerning the Town 's insurance for 1981. Mr. Stype said he has a company interested in all of the Town' s business but did not have enough time to put a package together. He thanked the Board for the opportunity to be of service.---William Price stated he received bids from the following companies : Aetna Casualty at $106, 000. 00, Hartford at $92,430.00, and Utica Mutual at $82 ,493. 00 and Boston Old Colony at $83 , 199 . 00. Mr. Price recommended Utica Mutual not only because they are the lowest , but because the offer is a much more comprehensive package than any of the others . Their package is an all rish blanket policy on all buildings and contents , employee benefits liability, umbrella which will list police professional liability as an underlying coverage and umbrella over and above that . Last year the cost to the Town for insurance was $102,000. 00 with not as great coverage. Mr. Price asked if the Board wished to bring their insurance coverage up to date and he was advised this would be looked into after the first of the year. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Price to find out from Utica how much it would cost to bring the umbrella up to $10 , 000 ,000 . 00 At Mr. Mullen' s request , Mr. . Price inquired of Utica whether they would accept a downpayment and installments . It was determined they would accept 25% down and the balance in 11 installments without an increase in the amount of the Policy . Supervisor Pell thanked Mr. Mullen for all his help on this project and said the Town owes him their gratitude. 2 :40 P .M. - Councilman Nickles questioned the Supervisor relative to the original resolution on Robins Island concerning limited 2 DECEMBER 30, 1980 development . Supervisor Pell spoke of a discussion he had with some of the members of the Robins Island Advisory Committee concerning expanding their responsibilities into development . Councilman Nickles stated he was interested in their findings on limited development , not complete development and suggested adding two new members to the Committee to work on the development task - George Sullivan and Jean Tiedke. Supervisor Pell said he would like to talk to the entire Committee to see if they can do it within the time limit with the present Committee or would need two additional people to work in that area. Councilman Nickles said he feels the Committee should be directed to work in that area and not asked whether they need additional help. The Board determined that the Town Hall would be closed from 12 : 30 P.M. until 2 :00 P.M. to permit employees to attend the funeral services of the last Assessor Melville A.

REPORTS - SUPERVISOR PELL: 1. Police Department report for the month of November (1980 ) . DECEMBER 30 , 1980 3 2 . Town Justice Rich report for the month of November (1980) . 3. We have an update on Cablevision putting in new lines in Southold Township. It is a progress report. 4. Councilman Murdock will make a report on the landfill area. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Thank you, Bill. This is just a short report. This is the Five Town Solid Waste Mana ement Stud that was done and prepared- or us by Holzmacher, McLendon in conjunction with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. It has to do with what the recommended uses or recommended abuses would be for municipal solid waste. It calls for a capital in of $74, 937, 000.' 00 in,�1980 dollars. The- Southold share-:would be approximately $15, 000, 000. 00. This facility is designed to come on line in 1985 with a life use to the year 2005 and by .that time they expect other technologies to be in place. I figured on the basis of amortization over 20 years it would be $800, 000. 00 per year for Southold Town. The interest on $15 ,000, 000. 00 I figured at 127o and I have no way of really knowing how much it will be but 12% is probably conservative, would average $1,.800, 000. 00 per year. What the engineering . firm. calls the transfer station, the annual cost of operation, which would be where our disposal area is now, would be $193,000. 00 per year and the cost of transferring the municipal solid waste from our disposal area in Cutchogue to the recommended site which would be in the Town of Southampton, just behind the Howard Johnson' s in the RCA property would be $220,000. 00 per year. That makes a total for Southold Town of $3, 013, 000. 00 per year and if you relate that to the Town' s total budget for 1980, it ' s just a little over $5, 000, 000. 00 per year, . I feel that this will have quite a disasterous effect on Southold Town. I would like to find other alternatives . At present there are no funds available. The state is saying that there will be funds available, however, they are not in the legislative branch of the government and I take that message of theirs with a little dose of salt. Also, when the funds do become available, since we' re talking about .1980 dollars , the cost of the project will probably have gone up by 40% to 50% because of inflation, so I feel that the funds available from--the matching funds available from the state really won' t affect the basis premise of how much " it will cost us to operate. Added to that we will have approximately $3,000, 000.00 cost to update and change the Greenport facility to handle our sludge problem. And in addition to that we will have a probably cost of $3,000,000. 00 for covering and capping and making impervious the present landfill area. That makes a total capital expenditure of some $21,000, 000. 00 facing the Town of uouthold in the next three to four years, merely to do with municipal solid waste and the sludge problem. This amount of money, of course, is more than the Town has ever spent in any area and I think it is a very serious problem and earlier in the day I recommended to the Town Board that we do become much more involved and much more active in looking for alternatives. We have had meetings - with Sacco and Ahlers, an engineering firm here in Southold, I ' ve had mettings with a group called Energy Development Corporation, who have both recommended to us that there are other alternatives instead of this Five Town Management Program. I think we should proceed very vigorously with those people. 'I also recommended that we start a dialogue with Mr. Middleton and th.e State DEC to see if there are some other alternatives available that the DEC:'-will allow Southold Town to do and also have recommended that the Town Board send the Highway Superintendent and myself to inspect the facility in Mt . .Holly, New Jersey which is operated by the Energy_ Development Corporation and another facility in Salem, Virginia which is in operation that was recommended to us by Sacco and Ahlers, but I felt that we should have some sort of a report on what Holzmacher-McLendon has recommended to us and I feel very strongly that the Town should spend a considerable effort -in trying to prevent us from having to obligate ourselves for a total of $21,000,000. 00 II . PUBLIC NOTICES- COUNCILMAN NICKLES : 1. We have a notice from the Department of .Lvironmental Conservation from an application by Theodore Laoudis . This is to construct a 60 ft . timber jetty and prefill with 165 cu. yds. on the easterly side with clean fill of similar grain size to indigenous material. Project site in Great Peconic Bay, south side of Watersedge Way, Great Hog Neck, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York. If you are interested, the Town Clerk has a 4 DECEMBER 30 , 1980 copy of this application and you have until January 21st to make comments to the DEC. III . COMMUNICATIONS - SUPERVISOR PELL: 1. For a -street light from Mr. Andrew Goodale. It will be turned over to- the Street -Light Committee. 2. & 3. For Office of New York State Mental Retardation and Development to place two homes in Southold Town. One would house eight people and one would hold seven. For our comments on the area we are going to ask the people to come out and talk to the Board on our meeting of January 13th. We had them out a year ago and the idea at that time was to place these homes where these people could be within walking distance to the community shops and recreation area. The two homes they suggest are far from walking distance. So that state has done 180 degree turn on their plans of what they had a year or so ago. So we are going to ask them to come out and explain to us why and give us some of the background information onthem. That will reappear on the agenda on the 13th. 4. From Gary Olsen reference to a bond to be returned on a subdivision. It will be returned as long as all the necessary-- as soon as all the necessary paper work is done. 5 . The Town Board was asked to make the Town Hall available one day a month for the Veterans" Bureau to come out here and have a representative come out to Southold Town Hall instead of making all our people go up to Riverhead. It will be the second Thursday of each month. Once this is set up we will-..publicize it and let - it be known. The Town Board did have the request today and did agree to it . 6 . A resolution from the Babylon Village on how they wish the �county ale�x t,o be redistributed so each township would get a littleshare of it . Greg Blass was here the last time the Town Board met and spoke to us about it and I 'm sure the Town Board will pass a ' similar resolution, probably next month. We want to make sure we are passing the right one and we hope that Greg will be back with us some more facts about it, how much money we can get , how they are going to space it . We will go on record at that time as supporting it. - 7. Another letter from Cablevision. Councilman Nickles wrote a letter right after election night on he outage, why did it go out in Southold Town and we not have it and they replied to it and John you can take it from there. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I think what the Supervisor is talking about is that at our last Town Board meeting we received a report and it indicated I think only 31 complaints on election day--day after election when we had over a twnetypfour hour outage on the Cable T.V. and we question that , why the number of calls was so few because between all the Town Board members we had far in excess of 30 phone calls complaining about the Cable T.V. This letter we have in response says that when they have a situation like that where a whole particular area is out they only count that as one call, even though a thousand people may be calling up because it ' s not an isolated indicent here or there, it ' s one outage. They just log it as a service call . 8 . A letter from the Cutchogue Firemen regarding the flooding area on .,_Br idge,Lam Mr. Dean has been in- contact , and myself, with a gentleman up there. We are looking into acquiring a piece of land up there for the Town to put in a sump so we can eliminate--take care of the flooding area. 9. A resolution passed by the Mattituck Inlet Advisory' Committee asking the Town Board to see if HUD funds could be available to purchase land up in Mattituck where the tank farms are. This letter was just sent to us and the Town Board will look into and see if money can be used for that and how much and report back at a later date. 10. A letter from Long Island -Cableivision again reference a toll free number in Southold Town. In the franchise it says they should have a toll free number, 800 number. In order for them to get that they have to go outside the state to make it available in a state-wide area. They explained to us why they didn' t have one. 11. Regards dredging work on Fishers Is� land asking the Town that they have money and will go forward with the dredge but they have to find an upland area where to put the fill and so we will be working with Fishers Island on that one. DECEMBER 30 , 1980 5 12 . A request from Mr. Watts for a s�tree tali hit up on Bay Avenue (Cutchogue) . That will be turned over to the Street Light Committee. IV.

COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: Question. I realize--I address this to the Town Clerk--it is a procedural matter but when we say it might not have any--doesn' t have any adverse effect to the environment , I don ' t think we--based on--- TOWN CLERK TERRY: I think you determoned in your discussion on Boos it was only a matter of outlining the area where the spoil was going to go and not a matter that he was going to encroach upon the wetlands . COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: Since we haven' t written, maybe we don't know that yet . TOWN CLERK TERRY: I have to ask for a legal opinion on that . I was told we follow this procedure that follows lead agency and DECEMBER 30 , 1980 7 we take this action within 20 days and haven' t heard anything from any other agency except , you are right , the Building Depart- ment . Bob? TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: I don '<t get the nature of the question. .COUNCILMAN SULLIVAN: On this it says an environmental assessment has been submitted and says there are no significant adverse effects to the environemtn are likely to .occur should the project be implemented as planned.

And after we got our meal I know why. I won' t mention where we .were at. Also 362 days ago we had a vacancy on this Board for Councilman and I had the privilege at that time of nominating the gentleman on my left and I would say when I introduced him at that time; I said. I knew him personally. I think- -that was a mistake, .I really didn' t know this gentleman personally like I know him now. As some of you have come .to - meetings you know we' ve had some -hot times in this room especially when we first embarked on this. year' s journey and think that the Board, if I may compliment the Board and Mr..
