While we’re all trying to be safe dealing with COVID-19, it’s important to keep an eye on the ball when it comes to other, long-standing safety issues regarding work in this industry. Recently, the governor announced the start of “Operation Hardhat,” which is a statewide traffic enforcement detail targeting motorists who drive recklessly through work zones. The operation is a joint initiative between the New York State Police, the Department of Transportation and the Thruway Authority. According to the governor’s office, the point of the program is to crack down on work zone violations and highlight the importance of safe driving when encountering construction, maintenance and emergency operations along state highways. State troopers will patrol active highway work zones throughout the summer at locations along the Adirondack Northway, the Thruway and other highways where maintenance and construction activities are under way. Also, NYSDOT, Thruway and state police plan to partner on additional unannounced enforcement efforts in construction zones in the coming months. And they’ll be undercover: troopers will be present within the work zones, dressed as highway maintenance workers, to identify motorists who disobey flagging personnel, speed through the work zone or violate the state’s Move Over Law, which applies to both emergency and maintenance vehicles. And, of course, there’ll be an educational effort to remind people how to be respectful to others; you know, how to do the obvious right things. So, later this summer, there’ll be an education campaign to promote driver awareness and the need to follow the state’s Move Over Law. These actions remain necessary and are essential to protect our highway crews. We lose highway workers to reckless driving through work zones across the country all the time. The American Road & Transportation Builders Association, or ARTBA, awards college scholarships to children of fallen highway workers — every year. No one likes heavy-handed enforcement for anything, no one likes more laws, not many people especially like more regulations, but no one should lose a family member because someone doesn’t care enough about others to simply slow down through a construction work zone or not to drink and drive. I think these children would trade this financial assistance to have their father or mother back. According to the state police, during last year’s “Operation Hardhat” enforcement, there were 1,048 tickets issued across the state, including 493 speed violations, 92 cell phone violations, 94 seatbelt and two child restraint violations, 72 Move Over violations, eight failures to obey a traffic control device, two failures to obey a flagger, two DWI and 283 other violations. And that’s the point: these numbers wouldn’t exist without this special enforcement. Please continue to be safe out there. Also, stay tuned for more details about the NYS Highway & Public Works Expo to be held Oct. 28 in Syracuse. P

Larry Cobb
and the Town of Putnam Valley
By Mary Yamin-Garone PROFILE CORRESPONDENT
With town of Putnam Valley Highway Superintendent Larry Cobb, what you see is what you get: a down-to-earth fellow who takes great pride in what he does. He loves his family. He loves the town where he spent most of his 58 years and he loves getting up every morning and doing his job. Originally from the Bronx, Larry graduated from Walter Panas High School in 1979. After graduation, he held numerous jobs before making the highway department his home. “I worked for different contractors doing different jobs,” he said. “I worked in a local deli that was owned by my friend’s parents for quite a few years doing what I had to do to hustle up money. I worked for mason contractors, putting in foundations for Venessia Concrete. Then I got hired as a laborer in 1988. I did everything from drainage work, installing pipes, catch basins, cutting trees — the whole nine yards from start to finish … whatever it took to get the job done. I came in at a good time. A lot of guys were retiring. As time went on, I advanced to a driver as an MEO and then promoted to a HEMO [Heavy
Equipment Mechanical Operator] in 2000.” The rest, as they say, is history. So, what was the impetus for running for the top spot? “Being that I had the experience of being here and I knew many people in the town, I knew I’d be able to better myself and better the town and the highway department. “Earl Smith [highway superintendent at the time], retired in 2010 and I was elected in 2011. I ran against the guy in the middle between the foreman and Earl. I had 24 years under my belt. I think I beat him by 300 votes when I first got elected.” When asked if the job has been everything he expected or wanted it to be, Larry was quick to answer. “It’s everything I expected and then some. It’s good in some ways and not so good in others, but overall, I love the challenge. I try to stay calm. I say, ‘If I panic, everyone else is going to panic.’ You have to be the leader and not get excited. If you do that, everything will work out.’” Did Larry make any job changes when he took over? continued on page 12

Built in 1936, the department’s facilities include a garage with an attached office and a small break room.
“I didn’t have to. I worked here for forever. Earl pretty much mentored me from when he was a truck driver and I was his laborer back in the day. Things have been running pretty well working alongside my deputy, Joe Hertelendy. He’s my right-hand man. Been here longer than I have.” Larry’s been married to his wife, Karen, “for many years. She’s a school campus monitor at a local high school here in Putnam Valley. She cracks the whip and keeps the kids in check. Makes sure they’re doing the right thing; not smoking and doing bad stuff. The schools were shut down on March 17, when every place shut down. Now, they’re doing virtual classroom learning online. It’s crazy. It’s a whole different world.” The Cobbs have four children. Stacey, 36, is a waitress in town. Larry Jr., 30, is an electrician with Metro North Railroad. He’s father to sixyear-old Lawrence the third and one-year-old Ava Catherine. Larry and 12
Karen also have a set of twins, Amy and Jason, 27. “She’s in the childcare field and Jason works for the highway department under me. It works out well. He’s a hard-working kid.” Larry is vice president of the Westchester Putnam Highway Association and has been a member of the Putnam Valley Volunteer Fire Department for 17 years (14 as president). In his free time, he loves going to see the New York Mets play at CITI Field; playing golf in the Adirondacks; and traveling to nearby New Jersey and North Carolina (where the couple owns property).

“The original one was 30 by 30. They put an extension on the back of it before I got here. Today, it’s 30 by 60. We also have a 20 by 20 truck wash building.” The dome salt shed houses 5,000 tons of straight salt. “Years ago, we used three sand to one salt. Now it’s pure salt. That’s because DEC started coming down on the salt/sand filling up the catch basins and streams. To be honest, it’s been a godsend because there’s no more dust in the springtime with all the sand. You don’t have to bring your sweepers to clean it up. It was messy. It’s much better now without using sand.” As highway superintendent, it’s Larry’s job to maintain the town’s 95.5 lane miles of road, of which 2.5 are gravel and 93 are paved. That translates into nine plowing routes that take approximately four hours to complete. A 26-man crew helps Larry serve the town’s 11,000 residents. His staff includes: Joseph Hertelendy, foreman; Raymond Gambichler, foreman; Erik Mignano, head mechanic; Margaret Bradley, senior clerk; and
Joann Carol, part-time clerk. “I thank my crew all the time. I tell them I’d put them up against anybody. When the chips are down, these guys stand up and do their job amazingly. That’s what it’s all about. It’s a thankless job sometimes. Recently, when all that stuff came down, I was only working with half a crew due to the Coronavirus. There were 11 guys and every one of them stepped up.” Larry also oversees the Lake Peekskill Improvement District. “They’re a four-man crew with a general foreman, two truck drivers and a laborer, who’s responsible for garbage, beaches, etc. They’re all under the same umbrella.” Under Larry’s direction, the town of Putnam Valley highway department functions on a total operating budget of $4,930,285. That includes salaries and benefits for its employees and an annual CHIPS allocation of $250,000; $48,000 for PAVE-NY; and $40,000 for Extreme Winter Recovery (EWR) continued on page 24
Larry said that budgeting for new equipment can be challenging. 20

• 2016 International 7500 4 X 4 (3) • 2006 International sander (2) • 2010 International • 2017 Bandit brush truck 18XP Maintaining equipment is done in-house by three mechanics and a mechanic’s helper. “We also service and maintain the Department of Parks and Recreation’s fleet. They don’t have much, but they have enough stuff that we work on.” Budgeting for new equipment can be challenging. “It’s tough. We were able to purchase through bands [bonds]. The former supervisor had several bonds out that were already incorporated into the budget. We bonded six-wheel dump trucks, sanders, plows and several other pieces of equipment. It’s the best way to get new equipment because it’s not directly attached to the taxpayers and having to raise the budget continually. I also have a $40,000 equipment line that I use for 30
pickup trucks and smaller pieces of equipment.” Like most highway superintendents, Larry has mixed feelings about today’s technology. “No doubt, it’s come a long way with automatic transmissions. The guys don’t get beat up all night having to drive a stick shift for 24 or 36 hours. We’ve done storms for long hours and we don’t have enough guys to fill split shifts like the state does. We’re different. Computerized parts of the trucks have been a nightmare. There’s so much computer stuff that you can’t afford to bring it in. The guys don’t have that kind of experience with that kind of stuff to know all that.” Since being highway superintendent, what’s surprised him the most? “In this position, nothing surprises you. You have to roll with the punches and take it as it comes. Try not to get uptight about it and focus on your job and getting things done. It’s difficult. No doubt.” What’s been the biggest disappointment? continued on page 38

Deputy Highway Superintendent Joseph K. Hertelendy (L) works closely with Highway Superintendent Larry Cobb.
“Regulations. There are way too many regulations that go on like MS4 [storm water management]. It all comes down from the state. They want you to do all this stuff and not fund any of it. Without the money … we have a lot of catch basins in town and only X amount of manpower. It’s hard to keep up with everything if you have all these regulations coming down on you. “Storm water management has been around for quite a few years. People probably don’t want to get into it because it’s a nightmare. I don’t want to say too much about it. All these regulations they impose on you that you have to adhere to. It’s not just state regulations. It’s county, too. It’s disappointing when you can’t get things done.” The most rewarding? “Coming in on budget and taking care of the people.” As for the future, Larry has big plans. “One of the major projects we’re working on is a bridge replacement on Bell Hollow Road. It’s an old culvert-type bridge that was put in God knows how long ago. We’ll apply for grants, but with the way the State of New York is with the shortfall of money, it will be tough to get anything. There are lots of smaller drainage jobs, replacing all metal pipe and upgrading corrugated pipe. All can be done in-house. I’ll also keep maintaining and paving roads while making things better for the residents of Putnam Valley.” continued on page 44 38
Secretary Margaret Bradley has been with the town for 33 years.

These tanks hold a solution that helps keep the roads from freezing in the winter. Salt brine is sprayed onto the roads when it is going to snow.
This is Larry’s last two-year term. He’ll retire on Dec. 31, 2021. When all is said and done, he’d like to be remembered as someone who tried to represent the people and make the town a better place in which to live. What more could the townspeople ask for? The Town Putnam Valley is a town in Putnam County. The population was 11,809 at the 2010 census. Its location is northeast of New York City, in the southwest part of Putnam County. Many residents of Putnam Valley commute to New York City daily for work or recreational purposes. Putnam Valley calls itself the “Town of Lakes.” The dome salt shed houses 5,000 tons of straight salt. 44

Under Larry’s direction, the town of Putnam Valley highway department functions on a total operating budget of $4,930,285.
History The retreating glaciers of the last ice age did much to shape the landscape of Putnam Valley, including the shearing of hills to expose springs and leaving the glacial deposits of stone and large boulders. The current area of Putnam Valley was occupied by Paleo-Indians followed by the historic Wappinger Indians, who lived by the many lakes. Dutch and English farmers moved into the area toward the end of the 17th Century. In 1697, the Highland Patent was granted to Adolph Philipse. The first settlers arrived around 1740. In 1745, the Smith property was sold to the Bryant family, who renamed their pond Bryant Pond and the nearby hill, Bryant Hill. The Smith family homestead is the oldest house in Putnam Valley, located just east of the Taconic Parkway on Bryant Pond Road. continued on page 54 48
The department’s fuel depot is where the sheriff’s department, the volunteer fire department, the volunteer ambulance corps. and many other agencies fuel up. One tank is diesel and the other unleaded. Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • August 2020

The department’s truck washing station. Here is where crews can safely wash trucks without letting the water drain into the ground, and thereby not pollute the environment.
Putnam Valley was incorporated in 1839 as the town of Quincy, when it was separated from the town of Philipstown, and it took the name “Putnam Valley” in 1840, possibly because local inhabitants were not favorably impressed by John Quincy Adams. In 1861, a small part of the town of Carmel was added to Putnam Valley. Geography According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 43.0 sq. mi., of which 41.4 sq. mi. is land and 1.6 sq. mi., or 3.72 percent is water. 14,089 acres of Clarence Fahnestock State Park lies within the boundaries of Putnam Valley and 1,000 acres is owned by the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, an environmental preservation trust in the Hudson Valley. The south town line is the border of Westchester County. The Taconic 54
State Parkway passes through the eastern part of the town. The town of Putnam Valley is governed by a town board. The town board consists of a supervisor, Sam Oliverio Jr. and four town board members: Jacqueline Annabi, Louie Luongo, Ralph Smith and Wendy Whetsel. The town hall is located at 265 Oscawana Lake Road in Putnam Valley. Law enforcement services for Putnam Valley are provided by the New York State Police and the Putnam County Sheriff's Department. Fire protection is provided by the Putnam Valley Volunteer Fire Department. Communities and Locations in Putnam Valley • Adams Corners — a hamlet in the southeast part of the town. • Amen Hill — a hill inside the Putnam Valley Park, known for its steep slope. continued on page 60
