She invited them to do SO. Stephen Rronenberger said that he thinks that the Town should have pickups of co-mingled recyclables on alternate Wednesdays as his family and most of the people he knew wouldn't fill the blue bags every week and it seemed a tremendous waste of time and effort as well as being expensive., Joseph Mirabella said that he felt the booklet giving instructions for recycling was confusing and should be revised, especially outlining where the placement of recyclables and regular garbage. He said that he is still having the problem with neighbors putting trash out the day before in the street, which gets messy when the dogs rip through the bags. Ernest Oneirda, Larchmont Gardens Lake Assoc. President, said that there was no agreement by the Gardens Association as to whether there should be curbside pickup or not, and that the Board should hold a public forum on the issue. Councilwoman Price informed him that a public hearing would be held. A representative from the Life Center said that she wanted to speak at that hearing on the use of plastic bags. Ned Ryan stated that he was disappointed by the fact that the Board seemed to have already made up its mind the issues involved in recycling and that he felt it was being handled poorly. Supervisor Silverstone said that the Board had decided only to try these approaches and that if after public comment it was deemed unsatisfactory, the Board would make the necessary changes. She added that she was sorry he felt it wasn't being handled properly, but that she disagreed, that public comment, input, and expertise was sought and used to initiate this monumental program.

After a prolonged discussion, on motion of Councilwoman Price, seconded by Councilman McGarr, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby reschedules the Public Hearing on Recycling for September 23, 1992 at 8:15 pm in the Court Room of the Town Center. 4 July 22, 1992 6.
