Approval of Minutes -June 16, 1999 This item was held over 5 OCTOBER 6, 1999 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilwoman O'Keeffe said she had spoken with a few sanitation workers who had said there were many new residents in the Town unaware of the policy regarding pickups and recycling. She asked if there could be something done to notify new people. The.Administrator said that stickers will be used on the cans which will indicate there is a problem with the recyclables. He said that one other thing that seems to be happening is that residents are using paper bags again, and they will be notified that bins with lids are available. He said even with the problems, he had received notice from the County that the Town was the fifth largest recycler in the County. The Supervisor said his office had gotten many complaints on the experiment with organics. The County has mandated the separation, but we could not guarantee what day it was to be picked up. Mr. Altieri said because of hurricane Floyd the organics had been left out longer than necessary, and residents will have to plan to keep material until the regular collection day. There was then a lengthy discussion on recycling. Betty Miller introduced herself as the new President from the Gardens Lake Civic Association. She brought up the subject of the corners of streets where drivers are entering blindly because of parked cars, and said that there is a petition circulating requesting signs for speeders be placed on their streets. She said there had been a problem in communication on the pickup of organic material, people calling to find out when they were scheduled for pickup were told there was no schedule. She said that these were people very supportive of this project and were not happy with the procedure. Ernie Odierna said he was delighted that the speed gun was going to be looked at to deter speeders. He said as he knocked on doors throughout the community it a constant complaint from our residents. He asked about the mosquito problem and if the Town had a policy. Mr. Altieri said there was not policy, but the County had one which included the Town. They were going to inventory the Town. The County had delivered `deet' a repellant to the fire house which is available to residents. Supervisor Ryan said that frost will kill the shoreline mosquitoes but the others go into hibernation. ADJOURNMENT The Supervisor said that the next scheduled meetings would be October 20 and November 3. On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe the meeting was adjourned at 9:36 PM. Submitted by Patricia A.
