Craig Mongeau

One of the biggest, recurring problems in any workplace is poor com-

munication.

Bad communication can occur in many forms: sometimes it takes the

guise of ambiguous objectives and goals set for a company’s or depart-

ment’s employees; other times problems arise when there is too much

conversation, such as sending a coworker 10 e-mails, when just one

could have clearly stated what was needed or sending a confusing, poor-

ly organized and written e-mail (did you ever receive an e-mail that you

had to scroll down through a long line of replies and forwards just to fig-

ure out what it was about?)

And sometimes it’s as simple as not clearly explaining to your

employees, your boss, your customers or your residents how things are

done.

Trouble is, though, good communication takes effort, time and con-

sideration — something that’s not easily found or accomplished in

today’s working environment, what with small staffs and juggling the

resulting myriad tasks.

This month’s highway superintendent, George Woodson of the town

of Riverhead, is just like many of you: he has a small staff and demand-

ing residents. And, as all of you know, these demanding residents can

ramp up their communication efforts when some snow floats down to

the roads. That’s why George was proactive.

When you read through this month’s Profile, look for the letter he

wrote for his residents and businesses in Riverhead on page 36. It’s sim-

ple, really, and some or all of you may have done the same thing in one

form or another.

The letter, or message, as he called it, clearly states what his residents

can expect from his department during snow events as well as what he

expects from them. He describes the snow removal process, how it’s

done and what residents should do to help.

It’s good, effective communication that not only serves as an unam-

biguous outline of what it takes it clear roads, but also as a reminder that

in any community, we are all in this together, trying to make our com-

munities be great places to live in. P

Proudly Serving New York State Superintendents for Over 25 Years


George Woodson considers himself a lifelong resident of Riverhead, N.Y., having lived there for 50years, excluding the four years he served with the U.S. Army as a military police traffic investigator.

George was first hired in the town of Riverhead’s highway department as a laborer in 1985. Afterworking up the chain to crew leader he made his first attempt to get the position of highway super-intendent and was not successful: he lost the election to the seated highway superintendent by 50votes.

“It was a tough deal serving under the highway superintendent that I had run against and lost to,but the mental aspect of my military training came into play and I was able to make it through

the challenges,” he said.Two years later, he ran again and won, and in 2008, George took over the responsibili-

ties of highway superintendent after working for the department for 20 years. After win-ning another two-year term in 2010, he petitioned that the position be changed to four-year

terms. The board put it up for a public vote and the public approved the referendum.In the last election, George received 80 percent of the votes.

One of his biggest initial challenges was learning the administrativeaspects of the job, which he had not previously been exposed to. He still

loves the highway aspect of the job, however, and has kept his CDLup to date so that he can run the trucks when needed.

George considers a good day at the office when 60 percent ofthe day’s challenges go right, and he prides himself on his abil-ity to adapt.

“There is no such thing as a perfect day,” he said. “Thesecret is to stay calm, know your people, and know which

ones you can go to and rely on, and you’d better be able to think on yourfeet.”

George also has served as fire chief in Riverhead for seven years andis still a member of the fire department after 27 years.

“I am a big believer in volunteer service,” he said. George currently serves in the position of chief and he is the first vice-

president of the Riverhead Fire Chiefs Association. He also is the presi-dent of the Suffolk County Highway Superintendents Association,where his main function is to work with vendors and to organize goingto Albany each year as a group to petition for CHIPS money.

“Our current CHIPS budget is $395,000 per year and that has notchanged much since the 1980s. We still petition Albany each year formore. This is necessary because some of our equipment costs haveincreased by as much as 100 percent since the 1980s. Also as a memberof the New York State Association of Town Superintendents ofHighways [NYSAOTSOH], I petition other Long Island highwaysuperintendents to get more involved with the State association.”

Equipment NeedsBefore George started as superintendent, the department had very lit-

tle money available for equipment purchases. The funds for equipmenthas not increased in over 25 years, but the equipment cost has almosttripled.

“We are working to get that changed,” he said.But he was able to work with the board to purchase five new trucks

recently. Now, he tries to purchase two new trucks every two years,assuming they get budget approval.

When it comes to buying new equipment lately, Riverhead has been“piggy-backing” off of various NYS contracts. However, when it comesto used equipment, George is not afraid to buy at auction. If you don’thave the funds you have to be creative.

“New York City holds an auction for excess equipment regularly.

From that sale, I have recently picked up two pickup trucks, two safetytrucks, and a 10-wheel Mack at some pretty amazing prices.

“We also purchase distressed Federal government equipment. I wasturned on to this process from a story in the Superintendents Profileabout the highway superintendent in Binghamton, N.Y. [MichaelDonahue, January-February 2011 issue of Superintendent’s Profile] Iwas amazed to find out that any purchase from government agencies isexempt from the bid process.”

Buying government surplus equipment has allowed him to buy use-ful equipment that most towns with a similar budget would never be ableto have, including:

• Five Mack trucks purchased at New York City’s municipal truckauction for $6,000 each that were worth at least $75,000 each; new cost

$300,000• The brine machine would cost $28,000; George has about $6,000

invested in it;• A 6,000 gallon water truck was purchased for $1,200;• A rough-terrain fork truck was purchased for $2,500;• A Komatsu crawler loader was purchased for $19,000;• A 5-ton wrecker was purchased for $5,000;• Safety trucks were purchased for $4,000;• A pothole patcher was purchased for $19,000;• Two Oshkosh trucks from Fort Drum for free; and• One Large self-propelled snow blower, typically seen working at

airports, was purchased for $5,000.

The $2,500 rough-terrain fork truck purchased through Army surplus.

This 5-ton wrecker was purchased from the military for about $5,000 andallows the town the convenience of being able to tow in trucks as need-ed on their schedule without paying for tows

Highway safety trucks purchased for $4,000.

When the town’s old crawler loader burned up they were in a bind with-out one. George found this Komatsu that they purchased used for$19,000 and they invested in repainting, replacing the bucket andhydraulic pumps and ended up with a perfectly good crawler loader forabout $35,000.

Of course, some items need to be purchased new and George is par-ticularly proud about (and the crew appreciates) two new Freightlinertrucks and two F550s trucks that were recently purchased and areequipped with their bodies and snow removal equipment.

Other equipment includes: five rubber-tired front-end loaders; twoVac-Con basin washers; one clamshell dump truck; 16 Internationaltrucks with dumps and plows; four Freightliner trucks with dumps andplows; two 10-wheel Mack trucks with dumps and plows; two Mackroll-off trucks; two Bobcat skid steers with attachments; one Takeuchitrack loader; one ASI track loader; five hot boxes; four sweepers; twobrush mowers; four side-arm mowers; two Hustler mowers; one Case

tractor loader backhoe; one Samsung excavator; one LeeBoy paver; twosmall rollers; two Peterbilt tractors with tri-axle aluminum dump trailers;one lowboy trailer; one shop truck; two Seam seal machines; six pick-ups trucks; one Cat grader; one 32 ft. bucket truck; two Chevy smalldumps; and one 1956 Walters snowplow.

The Best of the Best“Our crew size has reduced from 47 to 32. I give all credit to my

employees, they work hard when needed. We have reduced our work-force by a third. As guys have retired, we have not replaced them and weare definitely getting the same job done with fewer people. But don’t tellmy board that,” he joked.

“I believe that our department is now better organized and we nowhave the right equipment to address each job that we tackle.”

George is a strong believer in on-the-job training. “Education is important — going out with the crew or sending some-

one out with the crew who knows how each job is to be done and at the

The town of Riverhead’s highway department garage.

The town’s new Hyundai HL740-9A, purchased recently, has greatlyimpressed George Woodson with its quality, performance, workman-ship, reliability, and most of all, its surprisingly low cost.

These self-propelled snow blowers, which you would typically see at anairport, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars new. The town ofRiverhead was able to purchase these for between $5,000 and $7,000each.

end of the day, making sure that crew understands how that particular jobshould be done in the future.

“I have a tight management philosophy and I make sure that every-one on the crew understands it. That philosophy includes come to workon time, do your job, show respect to your fellow workers, be safe, andgo home to your family at the end of the day.

“If you’re going to be the man in charge you need to take responsibil-ity. If the board is wrong, fight the board and get what is needed for yourdepartment to function properly. Understand the job; be out in the field.The guy who sits behind the desk all day has no idea what his depart-ment needs.”

George also is a strong proponent of maintenance. During downtime,four or five employees are assigned to maintenance and inspection. Theylook for any signs of rust or wear and do fabrication as needed.Maintenance of equipment also includes truck washing, then powerwashing after every storm when applicable.

Key personnel includes: Mark Gajowski [now retired], deputy super-intendent; Mike Zaleski, lead mechanic and new deputy supt; Sue Beal,senior administrative assistant [now retired]; and Donna Testa, A.C.T.and Joan Mottern A.C.T.

The crew communicates via high band radios and a GPS system isused for the monitoring of all vehicles.

Facilities Now, and in the FutureFacilities include six truck bays; four shop bays; two 500-ton salt

The town of Riverhead’s two new salt storage facilities have a combinedstorage capacity of 3,000 tons.

The town of Riverhead is particularly proud of its brine storage andapplication system, which it only had to invest about $3,000 in.

barns; one 1,000-ton salt barn; and one maintenance officeGeorge is hoping to have a 66 by 100 ft. prefab building constructed

that would get all of his equipment fleet inside. “We know that this would significantly improve the condition of our

equipment and extend its life. That size building should allow us to fit14 trucks and their accessories and we anticipate the cost to be around$300,000.”

Managing Mother NatureDuring George’s term, Long Island has seen some of its worst natu-

ral disasters, he said, including three hurricanes, one of which includedeight inches of rain when the ground was still frozen, and blizzards withmore than two feet of snow that have shut down the Long IslandExpressway.

“After the last blizzard, it took us 24 hours to open up the main roadsand another day to get the housing developments opened up. Our biggestchallenge is the amount of open farmland in our township. The farmlandmakes blowing and drifting snow a big issue. Each year, I send out a let-ter telling the residents how things will be handled in the event of asnowstorm and we spell out our priorities. [see “Message FromHighway Superintendent George Woodson … facing page.] The com-munication has made a big difference. Residents understand our priori-ties and why certain areas get plowed first. Previous to the letter, wereceived a lot of complaints that no longer need to be addressed. We alsomade a video of what it’s like out there when plowing snow so the pub-lic can see.”

Compared to hurricanes, George says blizzards are a “piece of cake.” “Dealing with a lack of power, downed trees, brush removal, and all

that comes with it, requires a specific strategy. When we know thestorms are approaching, our first concern is to stage our equipmentstrategically across the township. All of the equipment in the world does

you no good if you can’t get it where it needs to be during a state ofemergency.

“Phase two is open up. When the storm has passed, get the equipmentoperating, opening up the roads from fallen trees, power lines, etc., sothat emergency vehicles can access those in need.

“Phase three is cleanup. Get the crews to work cutting up, chippingand processing all of the materials that have to be cleared out of the way.Of course, the best laid plans are worthless if the highway department isnot operating efficiently so backup generators in the case of power out-


Chris Bugge (L) and Andy Dick demonstrate some of their handiwork.

George Woodson’s find of the century … two Oshkosh plow trucks withabout 500 miles each were given to him by Fort Drum in Watertown,N.Y.

The town of Riverhead’s sign shop is responsible for creating well over500 signs a year.

Future projects include the creation of swales between town roads

and agricultural acreage to help control drifting snow and flooding.

The Town of RiverheadLocated on eastern Long Island in an area that is outlined by the

Peconic River to the south, the Long Island Sound on the north, the west-

ern section of the Hamlet of Laurel on the east and the village of Wading

River on the west, the town of Riverhead mainly consists of middle class

residents, many of whom are farmers. Riverhead is considered the start-

ing point of the North fork of Long Island and is not really a part of the

area considered the Hamptons.

With its recreational appeal and close location to New York City, the

population of Riverhead swells by about 30 percent during the summer

months, so one of the biggest challenges George’s department faces is

dealing with summer highway congestion.

New Yorkers appreciate the area’s beaches, the Atlantis Marine World

Aquarium, summertime strawberry picking, and purchasing the sweet

corn that is grown on Suffolk County farms. There also are eight winer-

ies in the town of Riverhead, which also draw a large number of visitors.

George is responsible for 417 lane miles of highway, all of which are

town roads. He has 17 plow routes, each about 16 miles long. The

Riverhead Highway Department is not responsible for the maintenance

of water, sewer, parks or cemeteries.

Early Riverhead*The town was founded in 1792 when it was carved out of the town of

Southold. The town of Southold was founded in 1640, but the town was

so massive geographically that it was reduced in size to make it possible

for residents to attend town meetings.

In the 1600s, eastern Long Island was purchased by English subjects

from the Corchaugs Indians, who had inhabited the north fork of Long

Island when early English settlers arrived. From its earlier days,

Riverhead found much favor largely because of its many bodies of

water. These waters were important to the early settlers for many rea-

sons, one of which included transportation. The area was covered with

dense forests, which created transportation challenges and made travel

by water preferable. As New York City grew, there was a great demand

for wood and Riverhead had an abundance of it. Shipping that wood via

water to New York City was preferred over using land routes.

The flowing waters of the Peconic River were tapped into for power-

ing mills, which in early days included grist, saw, paper, wool, flour, and

sorghum mills. Later on, the waters were used for generating electric

power. In the wintertime, the Peconic River also was a source for refrig-

eration. Large blocks of ice were harvested and stored in icehouses,

which would keep the ice frozen well into the summer months.

Other industries that sprouted up as a result of the abundance of nat-

ural aquatic resources included ship building, cranberry bogs, and duck

farming.

In the 20th century, Riverhead was world famous for its duck farm-

ing. The seafood industry thrived on Long Island with New York City

providing a growing market for fresh seafood. In the 1800s, harvesting

fish for fish oil and for fish that would be processed into fertilizer was a

prospering industry.

The early settlers of the region in the 1700s and 1800s were almost

all farmers. The dense forests of the area were cleared and the ground

was found to be very fertile.

Crops such as livestock, corn, oats, rye, flax, wheat, hay, apples, pota-

toes, pumpkins, turnips, beans, squash, mutton, pork, and waterfowl,

were all commonplace. These farms were almost entirely self-sufficient

with very few items such as molasses, sugar, salt, spice, and rum being

traded for.

In 1844, with the opening of the Long Island Railway, New York City

markets were opened up to farmers for fresh produce and agriculture

thrived. Specific crops such as potatoes, cauliflower and strawberry pro-

duction grew dramatically.

The population of Riverhead is now in excess of 33,000, and agricul-

ture is still a part of the community. However, industry and tourism have

arrived, as well as a segment of the population that commutes daily into

New York City.
