The Buffalo Bills tickets that we’ll be giving away at the upcoming

N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo might be pretty valuable this go-

around.

The trouble with going to press early is that this prediction may prove

wrong, but as of press time, the Bills and their fans, by virtue of a con-

vincing win over the Indianapolis Colts, have a lot to be optimistic about

this young football season.

Led, of course, by the boisterous and confident Rex Ryan, the team

right now believes in itself, which, in addition to talent, will be what’s

required if they are to wrestle the division from the New England

Patriots, something that no other team in the AFC East has been able to

do since 2008, when the Miami Dolphins did it the year Tom Brady was

out for the season with a knee injury.

During the Expo, one lucky attendee will win a pair of Jim Kelly

Club tickets for the Jan. 3, 2016, game against the Jets.

If racing is among your interests, too, we’re also giving away a pair

of tickets, including pit passes to the Watkins Glen race in August 2016.

If you attend the upcoming 21st annual N.Y.S. Highway & Public

Works Expo October 21 at the Center of Progress Building in the New

York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, N.Y., please be sure to thank our

lunch sponsors, who this year are: Henderson Products, Tracey Road

Equipment, Stadium International, Trux Outfitters, Vantage Equipment.

At the Expo, visitors also can expect more than 125 exhibitors (see

page 24 for a comprehensive listing) showcasing all the latest and great-

est in equipment and industry services covering more than 75,000 square

feet of exhibitor space inside plus an expansive exhibitor display outside.

Plenty of other door prizes will be awarded throughout the day.

And finally, if you attend and you’ve been thinking about nominating

one of your colleagues (or even yourself) to be profiled in

Superintendent’s Profile, the Expo is a great and easy place to get that

done. Stop by the Profile Publications booth by the front door and sim-

ply leave your name and the contact information of the person you’d like

to see profiled in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

We look forward to seeing all of you there October 21. P

Proudly Serving New York State Superintendents for Over 25 Years


Superintendent of HighwaysDaniel P. Losquadroand the Town of Brookhaven

By Giles LambertsonPROFILE CORRESPONDENT

When a snowfall is measured in feet of accumulation or a thunderstorm blows in

at 90 mph, the anxiety of a highway superintendent can be measured in consecutive

sleepless nights. Yet Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro says he never has wished he

were somewhere else on snowy or windy nights other than in the superintendent’s hot

seat.

“You know, this is by far the hardest job I have ever had and the most gratifying,”

said the Brookhaven superintendent of highways.

After two and a half years overseeing New York State’s third-largest highway

department (after NYC and the state DOT), Losquadro said his personal reward is

watching a job get done.

“Seeing the tangible results of your work, whether it is a cleanup after a storm, or a

massive snow removal, or the repaving of roads, I get to see tangible results and it is

very gratifying.”

A superintendent’s job is full of tangibles. There are the usual storm images

and sounds — snow, ice, salt, rushing water, downed branches and uprooted

trees, steel blades scraping and bumping along concrete, whining blowers

moving frozen water and beep-beeping trucks reversing and clanking away

to spread more sand. But everyday nonemergency highway department

labor also is rife with work you can see and touch, ranging from hot

rolled asphalt and fresh road surface paints to newly poured and

broomed sidewalks and free-flowing stormwater and drainage sys-

tems.

Losquadro has plenty of opportunity to get his hands dirty if he

wants — and he frequently does.

“It’s funny,” he said. “People used to see me in a suit and

tie and were surprised when I ran for the superintendent

of highways. But people who really knew me were not

surprised at all. The job fit my background and peo-

ple who really knew me knew my background.”

A Superintendent’s BackgroundLosquadro is a Brookhaven native, growing

up in Wading River and still living in the

Shoreham-Wading River community about

three miles from his childhood home.

Because his father operated an automotive

body shop, he learned one end of a wrench

from the other and apparently got some oil

mixed in his blood.

“The machinery side is part of the job

I really enjoy. I probably spend more

time in the mechanic shop than most

superintendents do. My mechanics

know that during a snowstorm, I will

visit the yards and I always make time

to stop in my mechanical shop.”

He calls the mechanical shop staff “the lifeblood” of the department. “We have a very talented team of mechanics, welders, and fabricators.

They never cease to amaze me, how they can get equipment back on theroad. I know how valuable they are.”

The department’s maintenance facility, which is charged with main-taining all of the town’s vehicular equipment, has separate lubricationand tire shops, as well as a welding and fabrication shop that lets thedepartment repair and modify equipment inhouse.

While enrolled at Stony Brook University where he earned a degreein history, Losquadro worked in construction as a member of Local 66of the New York State Laborers Union. He had grown up around peoplein construction so it was a familiar work option and let him broaden hisexperience as an equipment operator.

“I would laugh when someone would say he was going to PanamaCity or somewhere for Spring Break, and I would say, ‘I got night dif-ferential!’ [for higher-paying night work].”

Looking back, said Losquadro, the union labor “really taught me awork ethic.”

After college, Losquadro became a senior property claims estimatorfor State Farm Insurance. He became thoroughly acquainted with thepropensity of some people to defraud whoever has the money, in thiscase an insurance company. He was instrumental in the conviction ofseveral people for making fraudulent claims. It was good training for afuture manager of multi-million-dollar township budgets.

Elected to OfficeIn 2003, Losquadro took his blue-collar labor and white-collar inves-

tigator credentials onto the ballot as a candidate for Suffolk County’s 6th

District legislative seat. He won and for the next seven years was chair-man of the Environment, Planning and Agriculture Committee and theVeterans & Seniors Committee. Three years later, Losquadro was elect-ed by his peers as the county legislature’s Republican ConferenceLeader, a position he held for the remainder of his time in the legislature.He served on every major budget working group, holding the line oncountry general fund taxes every year he was in office.

In 2010, the then-38-year-old Suffolk County legislator won electionto the NY State Assembly representing the 1st District (now the 2ndDistrict). Losquadro’s legislative agenda for the next two years focusedon tax issues. He helped pass revenue measures that spurred small busi-nesses to create jobs, capped property tax growth for home owners,repealed the MTA payroll tax on small businesses, and increased stateaid to local schools. During his tenure, the Assembly lowered the mid-dle-class tax rate to its lowest level in 58 years, passed consecutive on-time budgets and closed a $13.5 billion deficit without raising taxes.

Then things really blew his way in 2012 in the form of SuperstormSandy and, in February 2013, a massive blizzard that struck during hiscampaign for highway superintendent. The seat had been vacated whenthe former superintendent became a judge; Losquadro was encouragedto run to fill the position. He did and was elected in a mid-cycle electionin March 2013 and again in a regular election in November of that year.That balloting culminated a rigorous political schedule for Losquadrothat totaled eight elections in 12 years and three elections in 12 months.

“When the Pope visits, my wife is up for canonization,” Losquadroquipped in acknowledging the electioneering stress.

Overhauling a DepartmentLosquadro is a believer in the old adage that you are only as good as

the people you surround yourself with. “I need people who can complement my abilities, who will either

make up for my weaknesses or complement my strengths.” To that end, the new superintendent plucked some capable people

from other positions to strengthen his administration.To tackle evident administrative challenges in the department,

Losquadro pulled into his administration as his chief deputy the town-ship’s emergency management director and public safety commissioner,Anthony J. Gallino. Gallino is a former NYC police officer and a firedistrict commissioner for 17 years. He currently is first vice president ofthe Association of Fire Districts for the State of New York. Losquadroleans on his chief deputy’s broad emergency services experience in for-mulating and implementing crisis plans.

To supervise budgetary issues in his office, Losquadro named SteveTricarico his deputy superintendent. Tricario had directed the coordina-tion of major post-storm efforts between the Long Island PowerAuthority and Brookhaven.

“Steve is one of the best budget people I have ever worked with,”Losquadro said, “and I worked with Ways and Means in Albany. He isonly 31, has master degrees in public policy and business administration,and is a part-time college professor. I don’t know where he finds thetime. He and I handle the budget ourselves and any time we sit down torun those budget numbers, he’s on top of it.”

The budget is a monster by New York town highway superintendentstandards. Brookhaven’s department operating budget this fiscal year ismore than $80 million, its capital budget $40 million. Large, yes, but

commensurate with the size of the town: Brookhaven contains 531square miles and is geographically the largest town in the state, biggerthan the entire neighboring county of Nassau.

Almost a half million people call Brookhaven home. To keep all500,000 residents happy, the department employs about 280 people andoperates more than 200 pieces of heavy equipment. The department’swork is divided into major categories besides administration, includinghighways and bridge maintenance, traffic safety and streetlighting, vehi-cle and equipment maintenance, signage, and engineering. It is a sprawl-ing enterprise.

“That’s why I work very closely with Mr. Gallino,” Losquadro said,the two executives being the lodestar for all the supervisory work goingon beneath them. “We strive to know what the maximum effectivesupervisory capacity is of each individual supervisor. Then we have todelegate them authority, and trust that they are overseeing the employ-ees in their areas of responsibility. Finally, we have to give them the toolsto do the job.”

The superintendent said he found when he started work in the depart-ment that it had been run for years as if it were a much smaller organi-zation. Some standards had been relaxed, some essential procedures out-grown.

“When I came into the job,” he recalled, “I found that some people inwork areas had not been issued hard hats and safety equipment. When Iworked as a laborer with Local 66, if I showed up for work and I didn’thave a hard hat, I got sent home and that’s all there was to it. The lack ofsafety equipment was one of the first things I rectified, not only to be incompliance with OSHA but for the employees’ safety.”

For when the inevitable moments arrive, snow-handling equipment is readied for winter beginning at summer’s end.

The department also was IT deficient, relying on paper-passing sys-tems reminiscent of 1980s workplaces. A service request was put in amail slot for a foreman who then forwarded it to a local crew foremanwho would check out the situation and send the paper back up the chainof command where a work order was generated and sent back down thechain. This was way too slow for a former insurance claims man whoworked for a company that went paperless 17 years before.

“I saw no reason why the department couldn’t do the same,”Losquadro said. “The lack of a timely response in constituent servicewas a frustration for me, so I essentially started considering constituentcomplaints as insurance claims. As a county and then state governmentrepresentative, I could only talk about implementing private sector tech-nologies in government offices. In my capacity now as a departmentexecutive, I could actually implement those technologies.”

And he did. Instead of passing notes, general foremen were given i-Pads to receive complaints, then go out in the field and photograph andotherwise document situations and, finally, electronically forward theirconclusions for action. Eventually, area foremen were assigned the iPadsas well — partly because they were clamoring for them!

“Some people thought there would be resistance, but soon the otherforemen were asking for their own iPads and it was an easy transition.”

The bottom line is that the use of technology trimmed five days offthe work order system, according to Losquadro. The electronic pathwayto greater efficiency was introduced and both employees and con-stituents saw the difference.

As a county legislator, Losquadro saw how adoption of an 800 MHzradio system improved some Suffolk County operations. The radio sys-tem blends two-way radio technology and computer-controlled trans-mitters for expanded coverage and greater reliability. Brookhaven hashilly areas on the north shore and in the middle of the island, so line-of-

sight radio broadcasts had dead spots. Losquadro and Gallino decidedthat an 800 MHz system was the solution and had the system installed.Severe weather subsequently tested the system and didn’t find it want-ing.

Losquadro acknowledged that selling constituents on radios andiPads can be harder than rolling out shiny new trucks that taxpayers cansee working the roads. Yet Losquadro found the sale to be relatively easybecause residents soon recognized the difference the strategic invest-ments were making in shortening response times. While storms andurgent constituent service challenge highway officials, they also give adepartment the chance to demonstrate how IT equipment speeds thework.

No. 1 Job: HighwaysHighways are the principal focus of the highway department, of

course. Brookhaven contains 2,200 linear miles of roadway. They trans-late into 3,350 lane miles, which is how the state DOT considers the traf-ficways in allocating Consolidated Local Street and HighwayImprovement Program (CHIPS) funding. Roadways in the town rangefrom one-lane paths in Long Island Sound hamlets like Sound Beachand Rocky Point to the Long Island Expressway.

“These are very different, obviously, in terms of how to maintainthem, with some being cleared of snow in a single pass and others requir-ing several passes. That’s how DOT looks at the roads in its CHIPSfunding,” Losquadro said.

Not all the pavement in Brookhaven is the department’s responsibili-ty, with principal arteries in commercial areas and the main east-westhighways mostly maintained by state DOT equipment. The SuffolkCounty highway department tends the larger north-south arteries.

“Other than those main corridors, everything else is mine,” said thesuperintendent. “I have some town roads with very high traffic counts,mostly in urban or suburban areas, and lesser traveled roads in morerural areas. We have a lot of open space in Brookhaven and are very for-tunate to have it.”

Brookhaven and some other towns entered into agreements withSuffolk County more than 60 years ago when the county didn’t operatea full highway department. The upshot is that the town still maintainssome roadways belonging to the county, including paving and removingsnow from them.

Since taking office, Losquadro has overseen more than $50 million inpaving work, all of which was contracted out. By letting private contrac-tors complete major resurfacing projects, the department can focus onbeing a service-oriented department.

“I have a crew doing sidewalks and other maintenance. They work allday every day, but they generally are responding to complaints for serv-ice, to reports of damaged curbing, collapsed sidewalks, or drainageissues. We divide work into what we can do in-house and what we cancontract out.”

Losquadro also budgets time and resources to managing the town’swater resources — “we have a tremendous focus on drainage andstormwater,” he said. After all, more than half of Brookhaven’s 531square miles are covered by water. The town contains large lakes andextends from the Atlantic Ocean and the Great South Bay inside Fire

Island, which borders on flood-prone low-lying properties, all the wayacross the island to Long Island Sound to the north. The town is finaliz-ing a contract with an outside firm to map the town’s storm drains soGPS technology can more effectively manage the system.

Relatively unexciting work such as highway signage and traffic safe-ty is not ignored. Honking horns and dented fenders would result if itwere. As parts of Brookhaven evolve from places of summer residencesto full-time residency, Losquadro has responded with significantupgrades in turn lanes and traffic easements. Studies are under way todetermine how to alleviate congestion and employ GIS technology tobuild a data base on traffic flow.

“And our sign shop is very important,” said the superintendent.“When a sign is down, replacing it in a timely way is important. It is aquality of life thing.”

Equipment for the JobThe machines a highway department needs don’t come cheap. In the

next few weeks, Losquadro will take delivery of four 10-wheel Mackdump trucks. Total price tag: $900,000. This is the latest tab in an ongo-ing investment in the department’s fleet. The Brookhaven town logoalready emblazons two dozen new Freightliner six-wheel dump trucks,more than a dozen heavy-duty dual-wheel Ford trucks, 30 pickups, avacuum truck and a variety of heavy construction equipment.

Once a recharge basin is cleared, it significantly increases drainage capacity. While the size and scope of work inside these basins varies greatly,these jobs can often take several days.

Still on Losquadro’s wish list are three more vacuum trucks so thatthe drainage and stormwater work in each of the town’s four work quad-rants will have a unit designated for it. The trucks cost $385,000 apiece,so Losquadro must acquire them one at a time. Also needing to bereplaced are aging wheel loaders, street sweepers, and yet more dumptrucks.

“When I took over, the equipment fleet was not set up properly,”Losquadro said. “When I bought the four 10-wheelers, I doubled thedepartment’s inventory of the machines. Having that kind of capacityinhouse is very important, which was borne out when the August stormmoved through on the north shore. Thousands of trees were downed ina small area. The damage actually was worse than in Superstorm

Sandy.”After the August storm, the department collected more than 30,000

cubic yards of vegetative debris. At the peak of clean-up, trucks each daywere hauling to a mulching center more than 1,000 cubic yards of debris.

“Having the resources to flood into a stricken area and clear streets ofvegetative debris is a good start in recovering from a storm,” saidLosquadro.

So the superintendent has focused on rehabilitating the fleet, a task herealizes is going to take some time.

“It’s not going to happen overnight. In the next budget year, we arelooking to replace more equipment. The department budget accounts for45 to 48 percent of the town budget, so what I do has significant impacton town finances. My job is to stretch those dollars as far as possible.”

One of the more unusual pieces of equipment on the superintendent’slist is replacement of the department’s military surplus landing craft.Think Iwo Jima or D-Day landings on the Normandy coast, with openflat-bottomed boats reaching a beach area and lowering their entire frontpanels to disgorge GI’s and jeeps. For a town to maintain and operatethat sort of craft might seem frivolous, but it turns out the landing craftis a staple of the department’s equipment. It is used to supply materialand machines across the Great South Bay to Fire Island, much of whichlies within Brookhaven’s town limits. Some towns contract for barges,but Brookhaven’s regular offshore work makes the landing craft themore practical option.

“I really need to replace that boat,” the superintendent said. Under New York State highway regulations, Fire Island’s boardwalks

and concrete crossovers for vehicular traffic are the responsibility of ajurisdiction’s highway department. So the landing craft will be used tosupport contracted repair work on Fire Island resulting from HurricaneSandy. More significantly, the craft is vital for the department’s regularmaintenance of boardwalks.

“My crews stationed on Fire island do the routine maintenance workevery day, year round, so that landing craft is an essential piece of equip-ment,” said Losquadro. “The boat is being kept afloat with bubblegumand baling wire. I have talented people in my welding and fabrication

shop and if it were not for them, that boat would be at the bottom of thebay.”

The plan is to buy a new military surplus landing craft, rid it of thetriple-redundancy systems that are vital to military maneuvers but tendto wear out easily, otherwise refurbish the boat, and replace the craft’sdiesel engines with new John Deere units. The department already isdeep into researching where it can pick up a replacement military land-ing craft for its civilian work.

Less unusual pieces of equipment are procured through more usualchannels. However, procurement by New York State government enti-ties through the statewide contract system has been problematic in recentyears. Losquadro said he shops freely until he finds the best deal. Thedepartment has bought pickup trucks off the state contract, solicited andawarded local bidders in other purchases, and bought equipment throughthe National Joint Purchase Alliance.

“We are not married to any one channel. Whatever route works bestfor me in terms of costs and delivery in timely fashion is the method weuse.”

Ups and Downs of StormsThe whole idea of emergency management is being ready for an

event that may or may not come and, if it does come, will arrive fairlyquickly. It is all about being prepared for any eventuality. In the past twowinters, more than 50 individual storms hit parts of Brookhaven, and lastwinter, monthly records for cold were set last January and February. Partof Losquadro’s preemptive response to emergencies is to have the equip-

ment he might need ready to go and to situate it in places it might beneeded.

To that end, the department operates 12 equipment yards and materi-als centers situated around the town. Because Brookhaven has diverseterrain and conditions, matching machinery to the needs of the surround-ing area is carefully calibrated.

“Placing the appropriate equipment in each area sometimes is asimportant as having more equipment,” Losquadro said.

Snow-handling equipment is readied for winter beginning at sum-mer’s end. Smaller equipment on shelves is maintained so that when itis loaded up in an emergency it can be expected to start.

Once a storm hits, Losquadro wants to minimize recovery time. One

Brookhaven contains 2,200 linear miles of roadway, which translatesinto 3,350 lane miles. As a result, full-depth reclamation projects that

involve complete removal and replacement of roadway are an integralpart of the highway department’s responsibilities.

way he does this is by avoiding handling of storm debris more than once.He has arranged for the department to use the waste management depart-ment’s $800,000 grinder that normally is stationed at the town landfill.When a storm strikes and branches and trees litter roadways, the depart-ment moves the grinder to a central receiving location and all downedmaterials are trucked to it for mulching.

“It worked exceptionally well after the August thunderstorm. If wedon’t do that, cleanup work will impact operations longer than the stormdid.”

The struggle to recover from damaging events is another downside ofstorms, of course. The aftermath of Sandy perfectly illustrates the prob-lem. Working with FEMA authorities was, in Losquadro’s words, “slowand arduous.”

Brookhaven engineered and submitted reconstruction and mitigationplans to FEMA, appointing a point person to the task, yet the processdragged on interminably. However, a new director of the FEMA regionhas been appointed and the process seems to be moving forward again,according to Losquadro.

The upside of storms is that they sometimes expose an unknownweakness in a town’s highway or drainage system. Those can be oppor-tunities for improving infrastructure and systems. Losquadro said that’swhat happened in yet another August storm — “Steve and I kiddinglysay we are going to put a line item in the budget called ‘August WeatherEvents.’”

The August 2014 thunderstorm set a single-day record for New Yorkstate, dumping 13 inches of rainfall in four hours.

The downpour exposed the inability of the town’s recharge basins, ofwhich the town has more than a thousand, to deal with that much runoff.The basins are supposed to handle up to eight inches of rain, containingit until the rainwater can percolate back into the ground. However, thebasins were way overwhelmed because they had been neglected.Compacted sediment had reduced percolation and roots of trees andbushes clogged the soil. Said Losquadro: “Many of them looked likenature preserves. We’re now devegetating them and removing sediment.It is going to take several years, but the storm exposed the problem and

from page 46


Snow removal, like everywhere else in New York State, is a significant responsibility for Brookhaven’s highway department. “When my depart-ment is successful, it makes the entire town look good,” Daniel said. “People don’t differentiate: If their street doesn’t get plowed, they blamethe whole town government.”

gave us the opportunity to fix it.”

Working RelationshipsThe first-term Brookhaven highway superintendent seems to be suc-

ceeding in his executive role. Part of the success surely must be attrib-uted to his ability to cultivate and maintain productive relationships atvarious governing levels. As a former recent member of the state assem-bly, Losquadro has floor access in both chambers during assembly ses-sions where he can quietly lobby for highway support. This also giveshim additional credibility in his work with the Suffolk County and NewYork State Highway Superintendents Associations.

“I understand the challenges the county and state governments faceand I think that gives me a clear advantage in being able to navigate thecorridors to make our case,” he said.

In addition, two sitting town council members worked for and withLosquadro prior to their election to council, which at the least gives themvaluable insight into his thinking and in all likelihood makes them sym-pathetic to his long-term goals for the department.

When Losquadro decided to meet with utility companies to talk aboutmitigating street disruptions for utility work, he was accompanied byTricarico. His deputy superintendent’s presence lent immediate credibil-ity to the superintendent because of Tricarico’s success with the LongIsland Power Authority. Consequently, a moratorium of one year wasplaced on new pavement.

“Any kind of repair is a compromised roadway, and coordinatingprojects is in the best interests of the taxpayer and the infrastructureitself,” the superintendent said of the agreement established with utilityengineers. “This way, the utility companies don’t have to pay the costsof restoring the roadway and traffic isn’t disrupted.

The superintendent has a good relationship with the Brookhavencouncil, which largely has bought into his belief that maintaining infra-structure is a transcendent good.

“When my department is successful, it makes the entire town lookgood,” he explained. “People don’t differentiate: If their street doesn’tget plowed, they blame the whole town government. My departmentprovides a fundamental service. It’s where the rubber hits the road, nopun intended.”

Still, Losquadro is anything but satisfied with how much money thedepartment has to spend on equipment and services. He estimates thathe has $120 million in outstanding road work, yet is allocated only $17million annually from the town and state CHIPS fund. He ends up mov-ing money around to get ahead of constituent requests to remove treesand to replace concrete pavement that has been heaved and broken byfreeze-thaw cycles.

“I have to look at this like a business. I have 3-, 5- and 10-year busi-ness plans and it is going to take that long,” he said. “We want to get tothe point where we are doing regular maintenance. Right now it is a mat-ter of worst first.”

Other relationships maintained by Losquadro are with some of thenine incorporated villages in the town limits. Brookhaven is responsiblefor snow removal, striping, pothole repair and other basic highwaymaintenance work in those villages. Also, when major storms strike thetown, the department augments its 200 to 250 pieces of equipment withup to 500 pieces of equipment from contractors.

Losquadro maintains a “substantial” list of contractors ready torespond in an emergency.

One of the more curious facets of the highway superintendent’s job isits maintenance of the Brookhaven Ecology Site, Park, and AnimalPreserve. The facility is essentially a zoo. One of Losquadro’s predeces-sors in the highway department started it on a former landfill with theidea that it could supply town-grown flowers for landscape projects.Then it became a home to abandoned or injured wild animals and todayis a communal flower-growing haven, a compost-pickup spot, a walking

In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy caused severe damage to the outfall site located at the northern end of Riverhead Drive in Sound Beach.The erosion control improvements Superintendent Losquadro made to the site protects the bluff from further damage, ensuring that the LongIsland Sound Estuary is protected from potential harm while also providing adjacent property owners with peace of mind.

trail, and a petting zoo for such animals as a buffalo and a pair of bears— Honey and Poo.

“It really is incredible and unique,” said Losquadro. “My employeesrun the whole facility. Brookhaven is the only highway department in thestate with the category of ‘Animal Caretaker’ in its budget. I went thereas a kid and my kids go there.”

The zoo-park is another part of a town that Losquadro clearly loves.He described Brookhaven as a series of closely-knit communities, mostof them identifying with a local school district. It is a place where thesuperintendent, his wife Lynn, and their young children Joseph andMeghan, are happily rooted. All in all, Brookhaven is a constituency asa whole that Losquadro is committed to representing.

“Brookhaven is a very diverse town demographically and socioeco-nomically,” he said. Census figures peg the town at 70 percent white and25 percent African-American. About 8 percent of residents identifythemselves as Hispanic or Latino.

“For me, in representing the entire town, I made a commitment that Iwould break funding equally among the six council districts, rich andpoor. I represent half a million people and it is very important that I rep-resent them all.”

As a practical matter, added Losquadro, who is back on the ballot thisfall, if he is successful in working for the entire town, people in each areawill see progress near their homes and be more apt to wait for the rest.

“They will have more understanding of the problems of my budgetand be more patient.”

Brookhaven is situated about 50 miles from Manhattan and is thelargest of the state’s 932 towns. It dates from 1655, with the town ofBrookhaven officially coming into being in 1686. The name is an angli-cized rendering of the town’s first settlement, Setauket.

The land was formed by glacial movement, with its hills the conse-quence of a glacial moraine and its lakes glacial kettleholes that filledwith water. Lake Ronkonkoma is Suffolk County’s largest lake. Tall tim-ber cover areas near areas near north and south shores and the town reliessolely on Long Island’s aquifer for potable water. Barrier beaches formthe town’s southern edge.

Stony Brook University is the town’s largest employer, employingfour times more people than the second largest employer, the IRS. Threesmall airports serve the community and ferries connect the town to FireIsland and across Long Island Sound to Bridgeport, Conn. Estimatedmedian household income in 2013 was about $80,000. P
