The Town Board hereby requests the United States Nuclear Regulatory
Commission to close the Millstone Nuclear Power Station until the
issues outlined in this local law relating to emergency planning zones
and evacuation plans have been addressed and approved by the State
of New York and its affected political subdivisions within 50 miles
of the Millstone facility.
The Town Board hereby requests the State of New York to file
a petition with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission to
provide for a fifty-mile plume exposure pathway emergency planning
zone for the benefit of eastern Long Island.
The Town Board hereby requests that the State of New York undertake
the preparation of a report addressing the feasibility of a safe and
implementable emergency plan for eastern Long Island within the fifty-mile
radius in connection with the Millstone Nuclear Power Station.
Any action by the Town Board of the Town of East Hampton to
approve, accept, implement or appropriate money in connection with
an emergency plan in connection with the Millstone Nuclear Power Station
will require a unanimous vote of the Town Board.
Pursuant to § 23, Subdivision 2f, of the Municipal
Home Rule Law, this local law curtails the power of the Town Board,
thereby requiring a mandatory referendum. Therefore, the following
proposition will be submitted to the electors of the Town of East
Hampton at the general election to be held November 2, 1999:
"Shall Local Law No. 31 of 1999, entitled 'A local law
advocating the closure of the Millstone Nuclear Power Station, requesting
the State of New York to petition the United Nuclear Regulatory Commission
to establish a fifty-mile plume exposure pathway emergency planning
zone for Long Island in relation to said nuclear power station, requesting
the State of New York to undertake a report of the feasibility of
an emergency plan for Long Island in relation to said nuclear power
station, and requiring a unanimous vote of the Town Board with regard
to any town approval, acceptance, implementation, or appropriation
in connection with an emergency plan for said nuclear power station'
be approved?"

in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
