Present: Dave Cichanowicz, Jay Jansen, Peggy Murphy, Jill Doherty
This Regular Meeting of the Southold Town Tree Committee was called to order at 7:00 PM at
the Southold Town Annex..
The minutes from the November 13, 2019 meeting were approved.
Discussion Items:
Peg reported that the first letters regarding Arbor Day 2020 were mailed out to the appropriate
schools and that the second "reminder" letter would be going out shortly. Arbor Day this year is
on April 24, 2020.
We decided that the February meeting will be held on February 26, 2020 rather than February
19, 2020 as formerly scheduled. This will give Peg a chance to pick up the Arbor Day posters
from the schools on February 14, 2020. Schools are closed the week of February 17, 2020.
Jill informed us that she had spoken to the Town Comptroller and reviewed our previous years'
budgets and discussed with us how we should proceed in the future when projecting our
revenues and expenditures. Jill suggested that the Committee attend a Town work session in
June or July of this year, prior to the Budget papers being due in August and that we should be
prepared to show statistical information to the Town Board at the actual budget hearing.
We spoke about the need for more "street" trees in our community and that our committee
should be explaining this situation to our Town Board in the hopes of the Town Board giving
more support to our endeavors.
As Dave had informed us in November he has resigned as Chairman of the Committee. We are
in the hopes that at our January 22, 2020 meeting we will elect a new Chairman. Dave will be
staying on as an active member of the Committee.
We will next meet on February 26, 2020.
This meeting was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted, "
