LEROY HEYLIGER: Good evening, I am Leroy Heyliger of Mattituck. I am a deacon at Unity
Baptist Church on Factory Avenue in Mattituck and I would like to address the Board about the
grant that you were speaking about. We have been having a lot of problems on Factory Avenue
and I am here tonight to address the problems that our community and our church, Unity Baptist
Church, are experiencing on Factory Avenue in Mattituck. I would like to apply for 2019
Community Development Block Grant to study these problems and perhaps come up with a
solution. The major problem is the vehicular gridlock that occurs each time a tractor trailer
arrives at the loading dock at the back of the Marketplace facility. Whether it is a 42 foot long
trailer or a 53 foot long trailer, the results are always the same, trying to maneuver these
behemoths causes a backup of traffic on both the north and south ends of Factory Avenue.
Needless to say, this presents a safety hazard for the residents living on the north side of the
railroad tracks as firetrucks or EMS vehicles would not be able to respond quickly in the event of
an emergency. Also, residents living on the south end of the Mattituck Cottages would be
affected as the fire gate, the fire department gate by the railroad track would be inaccessible. In
the past few years, these trucks have caused damage to our church property and I have letters
from the company here, for damage that was done on our property. Landscape, cesspool covers
that were broken, covers for the water valve meter was broken, all by this company. In the past
few years, these trucks have caused damage to our church property by using a portion of our
property as a turning point. Trying to be good neighbors, we have acceded to these in order to
speed up the movement of the entire delivery process. However, these 53 foot long trailers, it is
not feasible for us to continue to allow them to use our property. With.the coming winter, with
the fact of snow removal and mounds of snow on both sides of Factory Avenue, 53 foot trailers
will find it very difficult to get in and out of the Marketplace loading dock. As it is now, even
the 42 footers get stuck in the snow and the ice trying to get in and out. This thus impedes traffic
flow and a danger to residents. I urge the Board to get with Marketplace managers, get a
schedule of these delivery trucks and come down and observe for yourselves, the sometimes
chaotic operation these delivery trucks incur. And better yet, bring along a camera crew to
record it. Respectfully submitted, Deacon Leroy Heyliger, Unity Baptist Church, Mattituck.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Leroy. Who else would like to address the Town Board
on this public hearing?
CATHY DEMEROTO: Good evening, I am Cathy Demeroto, I am the director of Community
Action Southold Town. Thank you for allowing us to speak tonight. Thank you Mr. Supervisor
and members of the Board. Since 1965 CAST has been providing a critical safety net for
Southold Town residents in need and I want to share some data on the services we have been
providing this year. so, so far to date in 2018, we have been visited 7,154 times. That's about
800 visits per month, 200 visits per week. We have served 281 unique households and our food
pantry, that includes 27 seniors, 478 adults and 302 children. We have served 411 families with
our clothing in our sharing room and through our feed a kid program, we served 153 children.
So that is what we provide when school is out for vacation for kids who receive free and reduced
meals. Last year we served 138 children, so we had an increase this year. I do want to note,
that's only 16 % of the students who receive free and reduced price meals. So just looking at the
most recent data we have from the state department of education, 40 % of the school age children
in the Town of Southold are considered economically disadvantaged. So we have 968 students
Public Hearing-2019 CDBG Funds
October 23, 2018 page 3
in Greenport, Southold, Mattituck-Cutchogue, who are receiving free and reduced price meals.
And we have 1,113 students who are considered economically disadvantaged. So obviously you
can see the great need and that is just considering the school age children. We are continuing to
see an increasing need at CAST, people coming in for food, for clothes but not only do we
provide this critical safety net, we're helping to move people to self-sufficiency. So we have
several education programs, we have the parent-child home program which is a home visiting
early literacy program, we have helped families transition into the school, working within the
school system, we are also providing computer and ESL classes and some job readiness
workshops. We are helping connect people to jobs in the local community, helping them with
resume writing, interviewing skills. We are working with local employers to match some of our
clients. This year some new things we have done, we've added a free tax preparation program,
we did in 2018, we added a part-time food nutritionist to our food pantry and a big part of her
role is we started the farm to friend program at CAST and we are working with eight local farms
to bring fresh, local produce to our clients daily. And you may be aware that there's a new New
York State tax credit this year for 25% of the fair market value of fresh produce donated to food
pantries, you get a tax credit of up to $5,000 benefit. So we shared this information with local
farmers and eight local farmers are working with us to ensure that our vulnerable residents are
able to access the fresh produce that we have in the Town of Southold. In addition, we provided
238 kids with backpacks and school supplies at the beginning of the school year this year, we
have added a new director of education and outreach who is overseeing all of our education
programs. We have monthly workshops and this month we are working with Peconic Pediatrics
to bring a pediatric health and wellness workshop to members in the Southold Town. We are
having for the second year in a row, a hot Thanksgiving dinner in partnership with Suffolk
Community College Culinary Program and Clinton Memorial AM Zion Church and that will be
the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and last year we served 212 hot meals. We will have our
annual CAST toy drive this year and that will be from November 26 to December 17. So I just
wanted to share some of the work we are doing, how we are trying to address the need of
vulnerable families in the Town of Southold. Based on the need and we see the numbers of
children who are eligible and receiving free and reduced price meals and hopes to reach more
people, it is our hope to launch a mobile food pantry in 2019 to help more people who don't have
access to transportation or are homebound. So I just want to say we appreciate the support the
town has given us over the years and we look forward to working together to help meet the need
of those at risk in our community. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Miss Demeroto, do you have a written statement you would like to
submit for the public hearing file?
MS. DEMEROTO: I don't.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: You don't. Okay.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on this particular
local law?

DAN O'SHEA: Good evening, my name is Dan O'Shea, I am the executive director for
Maureen's Haven Outreach in Riverhead and I want to first say thank you for giving me the
opportunity to present tonight. I will tell you briefly about Maureen's Haven. We have been
around since 2002 and we assist the homeless population on the North and South fork of Long
Island. Essentially the entire east end. Last year we helped over 350 homeless individuals
whether it be overnight shelter or connecting them to various services or simply using or day
center for food or shelter, clothing and things of that nature. We also do provide a winter shelter
program which starts November 1 and this year we are continuing it through April. We typically
ended it in March but we do recognize the last couple of years April has been incredibly cold
especially the first couple of weeks, we are going to be continuing or I should say, adding April
this year. a little bit about the Town of Southampton, we had been getting support for number
of years from the Town of Southampton and certainly something we do appreciate, right now
moving into the winter shelter which starts in about a week and a half, I have five churches and
houses of worship here in the Town of Southold that are going to be hosting our guests. That will
be about an average of 30 folks a night and they will be doing it about 7 evenings a month and
that roughly equates to roughly over 120 homeless folks you'll be helping out this winter. As I
mentioned, we do have five churches and houses of worship hosting but we also do work with
Southold Rotary and some other civic associations as well. And they may be helping out
whether they may be cooking meals or setting up or cleaning up, that kind of thing. I do know as
of 2018, we do have a very transient population and I do know as of 2018 we have directly
assisted at least 11 individuals in the Town of Southold that we at least know of and that number
is probably a little bit higher, and I really just want to take a moment again and say thank you for
letting me take the opportunity to present this evening but certainly,we do appreciate the support
the Town has given us and we do look forward to and certainly we understand I guess the level
of commitment the churches and houses of worship and volunteers in general, do have to
Maureen's Haven. It certainly is a big part of their congregation and to the volunteers it does
mean a lot to them and for us it is equally important to make sure that we are not only serving the
community and homeless population but also trying to keep the local congregations engaged and
trying to help them with mission and things that are important to them. So, thank you very much
and again, I appreciate all of your help and support.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board on this
particular local law? (No response)
