Supervisor Martocchia:
27. The new police telephone system will be discussed following
the recess of this meeting.
28. During the work session this morning the Board discussed
the disposal area. on one item Highway Superintendent Dean was
directed to discuss with the two major carters in the town relative
to whether they would like to enter into a contract for removing
papers and light metal from the disposal area.
Mr. Franklin Bear said he was surprised at the action taken by the
Town Board relative to the Information Bulletin prepared by the
North Fork Environmental Council. As President of the N.F.E.C.
he has been offering the services of members of the Council to
aid the Town. As he understands some months ago someone objected
to passing out the bulletin with the name of the N.F.E.C. on it, so
since them the Council revised it and offered it to the Town again
as a service, either with or without the name of the N.F.E.C. on
it. It raises the question in his mind as to whether or not the
Town would rather not have the services like this offered. . For
example, some months ago at a hearing on teh SEQR Act it was
offered at that time to help try to bring about an understanding
of a subject that might serve the purposes of the Town of Southold
better than the one offered. Is it the policy of the Board not to
accept assistance from the N.F.E.C. or other organizations in the
manner in which they are trying to do. They are trying to assist
and be helpful and not trying to do these things in a critical way.--
Supervisor Martocchia said he did speak to Mr. Bear after the hearing
on SEQR amendments that they would not act on it because of some of
the input from the N'.F.E.C. was very good and he wanted to talk to
him about it. This matter was discussed this morning :.and it was
brought to the Board' s attention that the State of New York will
change the SEQR Act again. Therefore it was decided to wait to
see what the State does. As far as receiving help from the various
orgnnanizations, the Town would certainly not refuse it, and welcome
input. It is the Town Board's feeling on the Information Bulletin
. that if the Trustees wish to hand out this type of information they
should prepare something with their name on it.---Councilman Homan
explained that if they do something for one organization they would
be obliged to do something similar for another organization, ;.".Perhaps
with not the same quality and standards as the N.F.E.C. Every Board
member recognizes the good work the-',-.N;-.-F.E.C. has done and appreciates
work they are doing toward the E.P.A. meeting coming up in May.
However, the Board should not allow a Town body to use someone elses
material, the Trustees should do it themselves, as well as aNY OTHER
office in the Town.---Mrs. Marie Johnson took exception to Councilman
Homan' s statements. She said she feels if the Town has a good
responsible organization that will take time to put together informa-
tion in a form approved by the Town Board, it would be unwise of them
,not to accept it. ---Justice Suter said he .has been faced with the
same problem in the court where four organizations wish to hand out
materials to defendants, .and the information might all be conflicting.
It is the policy of the Board to provide material from the Town depart-
ments through the Town Departments. Furthermore, Justice Suter spent
several hours going over the booklet and before they could even
consider giving it out the Town Attorney would have to look at it as
there are certain statements in it which are wrong. The Board fully
supports the N.F.E.C. , most of the Board members belong,:jto5-:the N.F.E.C. ,
but there is a Board policy and they cannot deviate from it.---Mr.
Stoutenburgh asked if the Board would request the Trustees to give
the bulletin out?---Justice Suter said the Trustees have their own
Board and if they wish to give it out under their own rules- and.
regulations then they are ersponsible for it.---Councilman Pell
stated that he as one Board member would like to see the Trustees
meet and consider the Trustees putting the bulletin out; it is
within their jurisdiction, they are most familiar with 'the rules
and regulations than he is; and he hopes the Trustees will reconsider
the stand they took some months ago on this matter.
Mrs. Barbara Schriever, Orient, asked if the carters who.-remove
the paper from the disposal area pay the Town for it?--'-Supervisor
Martbcchia said they do.

Mr. Paul Stoutenburgh commended the Board in using recycling at
thedisposal area and hope they might even consider going -one step
further such as Brookhaven Town has done by using the leaves and
branches and mulching them up so the 'town people. can use it,
Mr. William Shcriever, Orient, asked whether the' Highway Committee '
has decided whether the easement is satisfactory for the .tiirn-around
in his subdivision approval?---Justice Suter stated that it meets
with what he discussed with Mr. 'Schrieverls attorney and as soon as
Town Attorney Tasker approves it there will be no 'problem with thEim.
