COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: Can I just comment on this, Scott? The Supervisor
informed us that he received some additional funds, from insurance reimbursement,
that had enabled the Town Board to reinstate the; third Bay Constable. Part
of that criteria is that the Bay Constable will be working with the Town, and
the CAC to increase the testing in Town creeks to provide for a data base to,
hopefully, get many of the creeks that are now closed,reopened on conditional
levels on a year-round basis, based on the rainfall, so that they could be opened
not only in the winter months, but in the summer months, and I'm happy to
see that we will be able to have a third Bay Constable on, and that he will be
utilized in this manner. Thank you.
DECEMBER 10, 1991 2 4.3
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I'm also thankful that due to our request for proposal
for insurance for the year '92, there was cost savings realized, and that we
were able to reinstate this gentleman. It is very important,as Ellen has stated,
that we assist the DEC, because of their budgetary cutbacks they're going to
need additional help in testing many of our creeks, that have been closed due
to high coliform count, and we know that working with the DEC, and also helping
to utilize the Marine Science Learning Center in Cedar Beach in Southold. We '
hope to use that facility in a vein were we can become a test facility, actually a
laboratory for testing coliform bacteria within our creeks, that have been closed
to try to get them open. Bill Has-back, from the DEC that has been in charge
of the shellfish program has assured me that, they will work with us to try
to get many of these creeks opened up. A lot of it is not'due to the DEC criteria,
but unfortunately due to the FDA, that sets the criteria for which the State
of New York has to follow. So, I'm looking forward to working closely with
Bill Hasback, Maureen Davison, and other personnel in the DEC, as well as
the Town Trustees, the CAC, and ! am going to create a new Shellfish Advisory
Committee in 1992 to help expedite these matters, to get these creeks opened
up, and those who are closed permanently, or those on a conditional basis, hope-
fully on a seasonal basis, if not permanent year round basis. So, Ellen, I'm
also pleased that we can get working on this. It's very important, not only
to the residents of this township, but also to the baymen of this town, the source
of revenue for their livelihood.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Number 39 on your agenda, appointing a member of
the Southold Town Board of Assessment Review, is going to be held. At this
time, before I go back to the Town Board, for comments. I'd like to go out
to the audience. Are there any members of the audience, that would like to
address this Board on any matter that they feel may be pertinent at this time?
Yes? Will you come forward and state your name, please?
BILL KART: My name is Bill Kart. I'm with the football program, l've lived in
Greenport for eighteen years. I was born out here. I plan to go to college
next year. I play football to further my education to become a Police Officer.
The reason I'm here is to talk to you about the Town of Southold donating money
towards the Greenport athletic field, and the field can be used for many ithin~ts,
such as sporting events, outdoor summer concerts, fund raisers, or anything
that needs sufficient outdoor lighting. Two times I have used the lights, as
a player and a spectator. I've played on the Greenport-Southold-Mattituck football
team for about four years, and the feeling you get when you walk out of the
locker room, when there is about fifteen tosevent~enhundred people cheering for
you, the feeling is incredible: As a spectator I went to a girl's soccer game,
and about fifteen to seventeen hundred people showed up for a game as well.
The part I'm trying to get at is that the lights have rejuvenated the towns,
you know from Mattituck to Orient, She'lter Island, anyway on the North Fork.
It gives people something to do at night, and the local sporting teams play at
night. It's not only the sport games, but the whole North Fork benefit from
the lights. I hope you consider donating money towards the lights. Anything
will be a big help. Thanks.
SUPERVISOR HARR'IS: Thank you. We've had other individuals, for your informa-
tion, Bill, speak on behalf of this project, and this Board will endeavor to look
to see the availability of funding, and as I said ~arlier, to the individual who
spoke, we will see if this Town can make available from these funds. The
priorities, of course, will have to weighed out. There are a lot of people vy~c~
for this funding, as you would expect. The competition is heavy, such as a
game that I'm sure you've been playing at football. We will certainly take this
under advisement, and we thank you for your interest in this project, because
we understand, and certainly know it's worthwhile endeavor. Thank you for
coming. Are there any members of the audience that would like to speak, again,
to the Board on any other matter? (No response.) If not, this will be our last
Town Board meeting for the year, and I'd certainly like to go to the Town Board
members at this time. If they have any remarks they'd like to make, I'll start
with Councilwoman Latson.
COUNCILWOMAN LATSON: Yes. Thank you, Scott. As~you know this is
Ruth, and I, last Town Board meeting serving in the capacity as elected Council-
woman in the Town of Southold, and speakin9 for myself the last six years as
an elected official, two as a Trustee, and on the Town Board, have been a worth-
while endeavor. I think it's important to remember that 9overnment is made
up of citizens like myself, who can come from any walk of life who usually express
an interest in their local government, and the happening around them. I think
I'm a very good example of that, and I would encourage the public-to become
involved in the many aspects of 9overnment. The next Town Board certainly
has a heavy agenda with the recommendations of the US/UK having arrived,
and with the fiscal constraints, that have been placed both on the taxpayer,
and on local governments as a whole. I'd like to say it has been a pleasure
servin9 you for the past four years in this capacity. I've learned a lot. I've
met a lot of interesting people. I have a lot of people to thank, many people,
begining with the Town Clerk's Office, and the ladies who work in that office,
who make everything available to the Town Board members. The members of
the Planning, I think we do have a fine Plannin9 Board. I think they have
their work cut out for them in the next several years, and I've enjoyed working
with all of them, Mark McDonald, Ritchie Latham, Mr. Ward, Valarie, Melissa,
Bob Kassner. Also, I've enjoyed my relationship with Ray Jacobs, the Highway
Supertendent, and Ken Reeves as the Director of Recreation in the Town. Jim
McMahon, certainly has always been a wealth of information, and with that I
wish the next coming Town' Board well in their endeavors, and thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I would like to wish you, Ellen, a health and happy
holiday. Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Yes. Thank you, Scott. It is a rare priviledge in
this country to serve in an elected office. I feel that I have been greatly honored,
and I'd like to thank everybody for their support. I'd like to wish everybody
a very Merry Christmas, and joyous and healthy New Year for everybody. Thank
you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes. I'd like to wish everybody Happy Holidays, and
good vacation time, and it will be several weeks before we meet again, and just
wish everybody the best, and keep public safety in mind. There's going to
a lot of people driving on the roads to and from. I just hope that everybody
fares well through the Holidays. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Judge Edwards?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I wish you all a Happy Holiday. I've got one more court
date here on the 18th, I wish the two ladies on my. left, the best of luck. I
know we'll be seeing you in Town Hall, and after the first of the year I'll be
gone for two months, and 1'11 be back about the middle of March, with a nice
tan.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Tom?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I'd just like to comment '~briefly. I think everybody
knows that there's been some movement on responding to the recommendations
of UK/US Stewardship Exchange. We received a report last week, and we also
received, I believe, on the same day, Scott, a grant from a foundation to help
the town to respond to that. Exactly how we're going to respond is going to
have to be developed in an open way with a number of participants in the town,
and the different Boards of Town government, and we look forwar(1 to getting
cracking on that first thing next year. Thank you.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: I would like to first take this opportunity to wish Ellen
and Ruth the best in all their endeavors. The last two years have had a lot
of challanges before us, and we've met those challanges head on, and it's been
a pleasure to work with the whole Board, not to mention Ruth and Ellen. We
certainly have had our differences, as any Board would have, however, we've
tackled tough problems, and we've met them head on, as I said earlier, and
that to me is very important. We have stood our ground on many occasions
when most people would have been intimidated, this Board has held it's head
up high. Elected officials, whether they're on a local level, County, State,
or Federal level, are a rare breed. Those who~will sacrifice themselves to put out
for the people that represent them, on a constant basis, twenty-four hours a
day, don't come freely, and they certainly don't come overpaid. The people
in any municipality, especially those elected to Town Board, have had their
hands full when it comes to economic times, such as the nation has been facing,
not to mention Long Island, the State of New York, and certainly the Town
of Southold is not exempted from that. We do have many challenges ahead,
but a lot of those challenges have been started through the help of the Town
Board over my last two years, l'm looking forward to continuing the good work
that this Board has started and has created to see those endeavors come to
f.rui'tion. I'd like to wish everyone in the audience,a Happy and Healthy Holiday,
and may God bless, and we're looking forward in the next couple of years to
again, moving ahead, and making Southold a great place, a gem, as has been
said many times, a jewel among many townships in Suffolk County. Three hundred
and fifty-one years old, and headed quickly for three hundred and fifty-two,
soon to be ending this decade, going into the year 2000. We have macJe many,
many programs work. There are many programs, that still need work, however,
this Board will always be remembered. It's in history books. This Board has
been part of the 350th celebration of the Town of Southold, the great Town
of $outhold, the number one oldest town in New York State, and for that I'd
like to thank this Board for your participation, and your help, and I certainly
am looking forward to also to working with you in years to come, and hope that
you will endeavor, and give of yourself, as you have in the past for the betterment
of the people of the Town of Southold. Thank you, and with that I need a
motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilman Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 5:10
P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Wickham, Councilwoman Latson,
Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris.
