Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran, Councilman George L. Penny IV, Councilwoman Ruth
D. Oliva, Councilwoman Ellen M. Larsen, Town Clerk Judith T. Terry, Town Attorney

9:00 A.M. - For Discussion Items: (1) Resolution of the Esat Hampton Town Board
urging Governor Cuomo to nominate the Peconic Bay System for inclusion in the National
Estuary Program - Southold Town Board transmitted the same resolution to the Governor
on September; 12, 1988. (2) Letter from Raymond F. Doyen, Commissioner of the Fishers
Island Garbage and Refuse District, notifying the Board of his resignation as of June 19,
1989. (3) Letter from John J. Hart, attorney for WLIG-TV 55, advising that Dimension
Cable Services, which presently holds a franchise from the Town of Southold, is in the
process of being acquired by Cablevision Systems Corp. of Woodbury. Mr. Hart requests
that before the transfer is approved, that the Town of Southold make carriage of WLIG
on basic service a cndition of approval. Board will await a request from the New York
State Cable Commission for addressing this matter. (4) Receipt of a proposal from
Garrett A. Strang, Architect, in the amount of $5,$00.00 to provide architectural services
and contract documents to make the necessary energy related improvements to the Police
Headquarters building. Supervisor Murphy ask Town Attorney Schondebare if the project
can be accomplished without going to bid by doing certain phases separately.--Later in
the 'day Town Attorney Schondebare advised that if there is not sufficient money in the
1989 budget to do the entire project, but to do (i.e.) the windows, they could do that
part of the project now without going to bid if the cost is below the bid requirements.
(5) Letter from the Department of Civil Service denying the Town's request to waive
the prescription drug plan limitations for the period April 1, 1989 to the date of system
reactivation for enrollees of the Town. The Town's extension of its withdrawal date and
subsequent recission to maintain coverage for the Police Officers was not received in time
for the Dept. of Civil Service to notify their insurance carriers prior to the effective
date of the changes. {6) Request of Peconic Associates, Inc. to waive the tipping fee
for debris material from a project at the Berger house by the Stirling Historical Society.
Although this request was withdrawn because the project had been completed prior to
the Board meeting, the Board would not waive the fee--it would set a precedent--they
have not waived the fee for other not-for-profit organizations. (7) Receipt of a draft
copy of the by-laws for the Recycling Cooperative of the ten Suffolk County towns.
Later in the day Town Attorney Schondebare commented that if the Town is presently
involved in a five-town program, why get locked into a ten-town program. (8) Letter
from Times Mirror Cable Television advising that they have entered into an agreement
to transfer its Long Island Cable Television System to CSC Acquisition Corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation (Cablevision") of Woodbury,
New York. Pursuant to the Franchise Agreement with the Town, approval of the trans-
fer is required before the transaction can be completed, and TMCT request~s the Town's
approval. The Town will receive background material from Cablevision of Long Island
shortly and the Town Attorney will review same, although Mr. Schondebare advised the
franchise agreement provides that the Town cannot withhold approval unreasonably.
9:30 A.M. - Edward Siecjmann and Marble Drape, Mattituck Senior Citizens Club, met
with the Board to discuss the purchase of the Baxter (Fort Corchaug) property. Mr.
Siegmann said the senior clubs are concerned about the lack of tax revenues if the
property is taken off of the tax rolls. The Board advised Mr. Siegmann and Mrs.
Drape that the Open Space, Preservation monies would be used should the purchase
be approved, monies approved by the voters on a referendum in 1987. They advised
that this is one of the last rema~'ning unspoiled pieces of property and site of an
Indian fort on Lon9 Island.--At this same time the Board heard from John Alshaefer,
aid to Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer Blass, who advised that Mr. Blass
put a resolution before the Legislature on June 27, 1989, urging them to put the property
into the Farmland Preservastion Pro9ram. It is on the National Historical Register. The
Board asked Mr. Alshaefer to assure Mr. Blass they he has their wholehearted support.
Also present to speak in favor was Walter Smith, President of the Archeological Society,
William Golder, a former president, Jim Grathwohl, Chairman of the Save Fort Corchaug
Committee, who introduced Myra F. Case and Bill Peters, and stated that Fort Corchaug
is the best preserved fort on the east coast. Ronnie Wacker, President of the North
Fork Environmental Council, informed the Board that the Town Board has the NFEC's
total support.
10:30 A.M. - John Holzapfel, Chairma'n of the Conservation Advisory Council, met with
the Board to discuss to urge the designation of an individual to spend a full day a week
addressing environmental issues on behalf of the CAC. The money for such a person
432
JULY 5, 1989
was approved in their 1989 budget, and they have applied for a grant to supplement
the funds. He said that CAC members Dan Kujawski and Bruce Louck have agreed to
share the job, each having expertise in certain fields of concern. The Board asked
Mr. Hotzapfel to prepare a proposal for a fair hourly rate for the position and submit
it to the Board for approval.
10:45 A.M. - For Discussion Items (continued): (9) Appointment of Trustees for the
Town of Southold Employees Health Benefit Plan was put on the agenda for a resolution.

notify Board members. (17) Letter from Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer
Blass in response to a letter from Supervisor Murphy, advising that the County has
no jurisdiction with respect to phasing out school taxes paid on Robins Island; it
would require enabling legislation from the NYS Legislature. (18) Letter from Suffolk
'Cou'nty Legislature Presiding Officer Blass asking the Town Board if they have any
plans to provide funding for the Eastern Suffolk School of Music.--The Board will
consider the request at the time they prepare the 1990 Budget. (19) Request from
Valerie Scopaz, Town Planner, to issue a press release requesting public input on
the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.--The Town Board feels it would not be
productive at this point, and the public will be given an opportunity to comment at
the public hearings to be held later this year when the draft document is completed.
(20) Letter from the NYS-DEC, Regional Supervisor Richard C. Ryan, asking the
Board to enact a resolution to dedicate and thereby preserve the wetland character
of the Town's three parcels of wetlands in the Long Beach Bay area, and also allow
for future joint-management of the same by the Town and the State.--This was dis-
cussed Jater in the day with Town Attorney Schondebare who suggested they wait for
a management plan from the Deputy Commissioner for Natural Resources Bob Binnewie?-"-
11:00 A.M. - Stan Stewart, Czyzyk & Eno Aquacultural Consultants, along with two
mariculture experts, met with the Board to discuss reopening the "Plock property"
Bayview, Southold, as a shellfish culturing facility. When it was revealed that they
are almost into contract on the property, the Board was forced to terminate the
discussion. They said they fully support mariculture, but cannot aid in negotiations.
Mr. Stewart was encouraged to speak with the NYS Dept. of Economic Development to
determine whether there is funding available for such a project.

houses being built in connection with the NYS Affordable Housing Grant (see resolution
no. 27). Justice Edwards: Recommended a stop light at Orient Point to allow a smooth-
er flow. of traffic from the ferry. Councilwoman Oliva: Recommended posting property

appoint Ke Chen at their July 18th meeting. Councilman Penny: Reported that he met
with the Mattituck Park District Commissioners recently concerning a joint venture for
a boat ramp at the head of Mattituck Creek. They are agreeable and will refer it to
their attorney. Councilwoman Cochran advised that this has not been a favorable
approach in the past. Objections have been: increased pollution at that end of the
creek, .damaging wave action from boats, length of time to reach the Sound, excessive__
noise. She said her Parks Committee has been looking at this site as a rest area.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At this time, I would like to ask the Councilmen if they
have anything special to report, starting on my right with Ruth Oliva.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you, Frank. On June 21st, some members of
the Town Board met with various personnal down at the DEC, concerning the
Hallock's Bay acquisition. It was a good discussion, and I'm sure George will
have more to say about it. We will have a meeting, I think George has called
tomorrow night to discuss what the DEC has told us concerning those property
owners that do have problems about selling it to the State. On June 21st, we
had a Commerce and Industry Committee. We discussed the Suffolk County Water
Authority. We discussed wineries. As far as having tourist accomodations, they
wish the people representing the wineries want to procede rather slowly with it,
but we will move forward on that. We discussed the Laurel Lake Tourist Booth
accommodations.There are problems with the plumbing there, making terrible
noises, and having a rather odorous smell. Perhaps it's sulphur or something.
Then I had to leave and George took over from there. On June 23rd, we had
a meeting down at the Suffolk County Office in Riverhead with Greg Blass about
Fort Corchaug, how the County is going appropriate $500,000, perhaps for next
year's bond preservation program to add to the million and a half that they alread~
have, and that the Town would put a million dollars of our open space money to ~
buy the fee title, and preserve the whole 104 acres. We will have to lobby the
legislature. This will come up on August 15th, and we will have another meeting
with Greg Blass the end of this month to see what we can help him do. On June
26, I attended the Greenport Utility Committee meeting. On June 28th, we had
a Water Advisory Committee meeting with the Suffolk County Water Authority,
and they just went on to explain what they hoped to do here as far as planning.
'They are looking for a data base for knowledge from us here as far as any old
tanks are concerned, where any gas stations used to be, where there could be
sunken tanks, that there would be no leakage. They can get the figures then
from the Suffolk County Board of Health Services as far as any pesticide contamina-
tion. They are very interested in acquiring property around the Laurel Lake
area, which we were able to get into the County's core watershed protection area,
which qualifies it for quarter percent funding, so that hopefully atleast around
the Laurel Lake area, there will be a good water shed area, perhaps with a well
4 3 5
site there to supply the Captain Kidd' pe6ple~ They are having terrible problems
with the water up there, and Suffolk County Water has spent a-great deal of money
up there. On June 28th, we had a Code Committee meeting. We talked about
one specific gentleman with his winery. We spoke about posting properties, which
will be included in the site plan ordinance. We spoke to the Town Board today,
and they were in agreement as far as any zone changes were concerned. Rich
Latham of the Planning Board will take it down to the Planning Board. We think
it would be a good idea to probably post it for major subdivisions and minor
subdivisions, and I think the ZBA would rather do both, perhaps posting and
sending letters out, but the main thing is people do not read legal notices, and
there can't be a piece in the paper about every projected project that comes along.
But this way, and other places do do it, there's a nice big sign that tells you
exactly whats going to be done with the piece of property, and when the public
hearing will be. So this way everybody will be informed. I'm very delighted
about that. We, also, discussed motel units size. it will be on for a resolution
for maximum of no greater than 600 square feet. The majority of the Code Committee
was for it. We discussed accessory structures. That will be a continuing discussion,
and we will be going to trailers and so forth on our next meeting. On June 29th,
we had a Landfill Committee meeting about recycling with George Desmarias of
H2M. He has drawn up kind of a list of scheduled events, a calender such as
it is, because we have to comply by 1992 of 50% recycling, and we hope perhaps by
the end of the year to ready to start some sort of pilot program. In the meantime
we will be doing more things up at the Landfill. On June 29th, we had a Housing
Committee, which the Chairman Jean Cochran will report on. On June 29th, we
had a sub-committee meeting of the Marine Code Committee. We are working on
that. On June 29th, we had an Open Space Committee meeting where we wholeheartly
supported, I should say the Committee supported the acquisition of Fort Corchaug,
and we spoke of some other properties that we hope to acquire. That's it, Frank.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: On the 21st, I attended the meeting with the DEC with
Bob Binneweis from Albany, and we discussed the Town programs. We discussed
Peconic Land Trust. We discussed about every facet that we could think of
regarding the acquisition of the properties, or property rights in Orient, and
we'll follow up with a meeting with the Orient people, the Orient property owners
tomorrow night. On the 21st, also, I attended the meeting of the Mattituck Park
District on behalf of the Town Board to talk to the Mattituck Park District about
a joint venture between the Park District and the Town regarding use of the
Mattituck launching ramp at the end of Love Lane. The Mattituck Park District
members there all voiced for it, and said that all they're waiting for now is word
from their attorney that it's okay, we can proceed and go ahead with that. So
that will be a matter for future negotiations. On the 21st, I caught the tail end,
that was a busy night, I caught the tail end of a Commerce and industry Committee
meeting, and basically we just kicked around everything that Ruth has already
reported on. On the 23rd, we met up at County Center with Greg Blass, and
Alan Veratti, and Mike Tuthill from Greg's office, Lance Malomo from Historical
Services, Jim Vage, Deputy Planning Director. We've worked basically to develop
a long range development plan for Fort Cochauq, that the Town and the County
would agree on and they would present to the County Legislature as part of the
acquisition. It was a very worthwhile meeting. On the 27th, I met with Ray
Jacobs at the site of the Mattituck Park District boat ramp, and Ray will be pre-
paring us an estimate of the approximate cost, where the Town to become involved
with this and what the maintenance and repair estimates would be on that. On
the 27th, also, I met with Rob Berntsson for about an hour to discuss the fine
points of the Police contract. We have to prepare a draft memo to the PBA, so
that both sides can sign it. On the 27th, we had a Labor Management Committee
meeting, and we discussed many personnel items that will come up. On the 28th,
I attended the meeting with the Suffolk County Water Authority, on the 28th,
also, the Code Committe meeting. On the 29th, we had a Code Committee sub-
committee meeting on marinas, and on the 29th I attended the Open Space Committee
on behalf of Bill Baxter and the Fort Corchaug property. I have a letter from
Bill Baxter authorizing application to the Town for the purchase of his property
and I, also, presented a letter to Greg Blass, authorizing the application of the
Fort Corchaug property or the Baxter property into the County Farmland Program.
We discussed, also, the meeting with the DEC and the Orient wetlands. Just one
small followup, I got a call from Bill Baxter about six o'clock tonight, and he is
meeting with the Surrogate's Court on the 15th, and he told me that he has
absolutely no difficulty in asking them to stall off until the end of August, so
that will give us the time we need at the County level, the County Legislature
to vote on the acquisition. I'm certain from the way Bill was talking tonight that
that's going to go through. My last thing is just that tomorrow night we have
the meeting with the Orient wetland property owners, and we'll be here at the
Town Hall. That's it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, thank you. As a committee member of the
Five Eastern Town's Recyclinq Educational Program, I did attend a meeting on
June 20th in Southampton at the Town Hall. A great deal of work has to be done
in the Committee developing unique ways to get this information out to the public
in addition to the standard media procedures. We have another meeting tomorrow
night, and hopefully after tomorrow night's meeting I will have much more to report
to the Board on that. On the 21st, I also attended the meeting at Stony Brook,
which has been very capable reported by my members over there. On the 22nd,
I had a Park meeting at Laurel Lake with the contractor who has won the bid
to do the seeding and the landscaping, and Mr. Murphy also joined us. We went
through some of the work that he Will be responsible for and we have great hopes r
for it turning out the way we picture it. On the 23rd, I also attended the meeting'
at the County Center with Mr. Blass, which has been reported on. The only
thing I would like to do is I would like to thank Walter Smith, president of the
Archaelogical Society. I asked him to attend and it was his concept for future
development of the Baxter property that was discussed, and I think is being
presented to the legislature. What he suggested was the concept of a living,
breathing outdoor educational facility with a committee made up of from both our
schools and colleges, that it could be worked into the curriculum where these
people be college student,or high school students, or elementary students. "[hey
have the open space. They could use tenting and they could learn first hand
on site what a dig is all about and what is involved, and about the Indians that
once owned all this territory. So, Walter, I thank you for your imput. On the
26th, we had a Recreation meeting, just to do some brain storming. We did have
Joe Marino from the New York State Department of Youth come down recently,
and he wants to meet with us again, because he feels that we are not serving..
I shouldn't say that we are not serving the youth, I should say that he does
not feel that the senior/youth building is not used enough by our youth, so we
brainstormed in trying to develop some additional programing. It's very difficult
to serve our teenage age of youth. It's very easy to develop programs for pre-
teens, very easy to develop programs for our seniors, but this is an age group
that they're always saying that there's nothing-to do, but when you ask them
for imput to help develop programs of what they'd like to do, and nothing happens
in that direction either. So it's just a very difficult age to serve, so we're going
to be looking at it once again, and trying to find some solutions hopefully. I,
also, attended the meeting on recycling with Dr. Epstein and his associate. I
felt it was very informative. We had a Housing meeting on the 29th. As you
may or may not be aware, the Costello project is moving ahead. They've agreed
to give him a contract for water. John still feels he has an obligation to the Town
to provide affordable housing, so he is agreeable to working with the Town. There
is a grant program where the housing alliance can apply and the State will give
a $25,000 grant to each home owner within...actually you apply your grant say
for 50 or 35 or how many uou need, and hopefully you get what you need or they'll
at least give you some, but John is agreeable to working with that part of the
program, so that for the affordable housing units in his development there will
be a reimbursement of $25,000 from the State through this grant program. Also,
the Committee discussed DBM, which is a housing project for affordable housing
in the affordable housing zone on 13oisseau Avenue. Some of the discussion was
that perhaps the best way to provide affordable housing and have a control on
it in that particular development would be the Town look at the possibility of
buying the lots for $25,000, those affordable lots, and being reimbursed from
the State through this affordable housing program and the $25.,000 grant. So
it's a very feasible way that we could possible do it to bring down the cost of
housing for these young people. I think that's about it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: As chairman of the Inland Waterways Committee, I
attended the Peconic Bay Task Force workshop on boater pollution. Currently
there are 66,000 boats registered in Suffolk County, and that doesn't count all
the boats you see from Dover, Delaware. With the 40% increase in boats from
40 feet to 64 feet, a 20% increase in boats 25 feet to 39 feet, most which need
a pump out facility. Now these statistics make it sound like we're inundated with
boats from 40 to 64 feet, but actually we went from 500 boats registered in Suffolk
County to approximately 700 in this 40 to 64 foot .catagory. The State of Washinton
includes a leaflet in their voter registration mailing entitled "Pollution Solution".
This leaflet explains the advantages of pump out to the boater, boater owners
and illustrates the location on a map of the pump out facilities within the State
of' Washington, particularly the Puget Sound. Also, included are pictures and
documentation of garbage waste and boater pollution on marine life. This was
di~cu~,sed as a possible way to implement boater education within the State of New
York and Suffolk County. There are currently 210 marinas in Suffolk County,
and 21 pump out stations. There is a 350 year history of bass fishing and scallops
on the East End. Recent legislation and environmental events have dealt this
traditional industry a terrible blow. Towns including Southold are now documenting
their mooring areas and identifying the pollution sources associated with boating.
People and total coliform coun_ts rise in the summer months, closing areas within
JULY 5, 1989
437
a 1500 foot perimeter of marinas to recreational and commercial shellfishing by
the State of New Ycrk. Charles Dequ Ifeld fr:°m the Marine Quality Division of
the New York State DEC stated that this policy requires areas to be closed
seasonally is neccessary because of pollution level is unpredictable. The
acreage, average depth of the water, flushing, the number of boats are ali
computed in a formula used in national and state programs to close areas directly
attributed to collar-oran- from boats. When determining the number of slips and
moorings allowed in a given area, it was stressed that the Town own their own
bottoms and they grant the permits. If an area is certified for shellfishing and,or
is a small embayment, a policy of no mooring expansion is warranted to allow for
open waters for shellfish. The DEC is walking a very thin line with the National
Shellfish Sanitation Bureau on keeping many thousands and thousands of acres
in the State of New York currently open to shellfish. The axe could come down
in a huge way very shortly. Marina compatibility with the marine environment
was presented by marine designer Dr. Robert Desanto. His topic included how
marinas can be designed with minimal environmental impact, state of art dry rack
storage, and readily corrected hazardous marina practices. The questions were,
how much toxic substances are acceptable for boat maintainance? How much sewage
is allowable and how higher algae production is warranted? Storm runoff, '~failure
of septic systems all add contribution from parking lots, etc. Planning measures
include specs of the part of the zoning regulations, drainage away from the bay,
erosior~ control etc, and so forth. This was a repeated topic that I've heard many
times, and these measures are all employed in the Town of Southold today under
coordinated environmental reviews with the various Boards involved; As usual
it was stressed that the solutions lie with local controls of planning and zoning.
With increase population, there is an increase pressure on public access. The
natural resources of shellfish in the bays itself. Sanitary facilities on shore are
extremely important, and should be part of all site plan reviews. Dry rack storage
has its plus and minus sides with higher traffic and increase runoff'on the minus
side, and upland storage is a plus, relieving the shoreline from increased slips.
However, good operators do not have water quality problems, and good housekeeping
in essential. So if a marina operator knows how to run his marina, he won't have
any problems. The trend in the marine industry today are fewer and larger marinas.
This is directly attributed to the regulations which discourage small sizes due
to the five year lag time for approvals. Dr. Desanto discouraged the condo marina
trend, stating that the marina is an important feature in the public access. He
suggested that all Town fees include the cost of environmental inspectors. With
the increase of utilization of the resource there's a price involved. With successful
management the Towns have no other way around it. Peter Nedham, president
of the Marine Association, and an owner of 150 boat slip in Coecles Harbor, Shelter
Island, made a presentation how he has worked with the Town of Shelter Island
to increase boater awareness and education. He stressed the importance of
responsible marine management. The marina owners take their direct responsibility
in the amount of discharge, and discussed the problems, of course, associated
with marine sanitation device pump out facilities. Suffolk County Department of
Public Health, who run the test at Bergen Point made an interesting presentation
that formaldehyde, viable organics,ar~monia chlorides and others are on the EPA
list of top priority of pollutants that they'd like to eliminate, however these chemicals
are used in holding tanks as well as a __, and there is no way to adequately
dispose of the waste in the holding tanks as far as impact on the sewer treatment
plants go. In terms of enforcement, the U.S. Coast Guard can fine up to $2,000,
can give a $2,000 civil penalty for discharges within three miles of the coast.
But the bottom line, in my opinion after sitting through a day. of this, is how
much money does the government have to spend, and after the money is spent
or the various studies, how significantly will the water quality be improved?
Obviously people have to understand what they do has a direct impact. You can't
toss overboard the negligence in not repairing a gas line. It's only my opinion
when the public is committed to solving the problem, the realization that the marir~e
resource is fragile and limited, can we fully appreciate that we have to be a gentle
people in the terms of shoreline environment. As with many conferences you go
to you walk away with more questions than you had answered, and as far as boater
pollution. I think it's one of the more minimal impacted areas in term of waterfront
management within the Town of Southold. We are looking at our marine zones,
and we realize that we have to have marinas. There are going to be certain
closures associated with the marinas. We're looking at our mooring areas, and
through Waterfront Revitalization Program, I think we've got a good handle on
planning for it. During the last Town Board meeting I was not here. I was in
Albany as a chaperone with my 11 year old son on a trip that they had to the
State Legislature, and Rockefellow Plaza in West Point. We met with Joe Sawicki,
who gave the fifth grade class of Southold School a wonderful tour. All of the
fifth graders got to sit in the assembly chamber itself, and sit at the desk,
because it wasn't in session, which was a rare privilege, and one of the children
asked Legislator Sawicki what he thought about the garbage, and Joe had to
refer that question to me because it was dealt with on a town level, but I had
to remind him that it was as a result of a legislative action in 1983 that the Town
had to close down their landfill. I, also, had the opportunity to do a little bit
of lobbying on the land transfer tax, that the five east end towns have been
workinq on for, I believe, six years, and what it would do, would allow a public
438
JULY 5, 1989
referendum to implement a 2% land transfer tax on house sales over $150,000.00
for open space. I met with the sponsor of the bill and was somewhat disappointed
on his lack of enthusiasm as a sponsor. I met with the head of the local government
committees, who chair the committee that this bill has to come out of, Mr. Becket
and Mr. Graber, and they were very enthusiastic and very responsive, but
evidently once again, for the sixth year in a row, this bill is not going anywhere.
I've had several meetings over the past several weeks with Scott Dobinger, who
is our intern from Cornell and is writing the final draft waterfront revitalization
program for the Town. He has discussed some concerns regarding the preparation
with him, and helped him with several problems on a few different occasions. I,
also, participated with Ken Reeves, our recreational director, while Jean was in
Europe to hire our beach attendants and lifeguards for the summer. I must comme~
on the caliber of applicants we had. We received more applicants that we were
able to hire. Ail of the applicants where very good, and I hope the enthusiasm
continues for the next few years. The other meetings in the last two weeks I'm
sure were reported on by the Town Board while I wasn't here. I, also, attended
the committee meeting of the Waterfront Revitalization, the CAC of the Local Water-
front Revitalization program were we went into some real specifics on the final for
this draft. Ruth reported very nicely on the meeting that we had with the Suffolk
County Water Authority. The Code Committee meeting. I, also, attended a meeting
with Jean, which she reported on on Laurel Lake. The Landfill waste and recyclying
meeting. There are reports on that available in the Town Clerk's Office. Also,
the Housing Committee meeting which Jean reported on. The Code Committee sub-
committee meeting, which Ruth has reported on, and last but not least I took a
trip to Fishers Island, which is always a pleasure with Bay Constable and Scott
Dobriner. We were met by John Clavin, who gave us a very thorough tour of
Fishers Island. We toured the complete waterfront to do inventory for the project
with writing. We met with many people on the Island. l'd like to thank all of
them. Heard a few complaints about the Town and different things that they'd
like us to do for them. I promised I'd pass them on, but not right now. Thank
you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. Raymond?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Walsh Park, our affordable housing on Fishers Island, is
started off. They're starting to cut the roads in, and we're looking forward to
having some buildings in there probably the end of the summer, beginning of
fall, and on the 28th, a week ago today, I had to fly over here to Long Island
for some justice business, and I can honestly that the trooper that we've had
on the Island since the 1st of May has been doing a bang-up job over there, which
he was asked to do, and very active. This morning I did not fly over. I had
to get the 8:15 ferry out of Fishers to New London, just about caught the 9:00
to Orient. Had a nice ride in with Bob Wendell and I was a little late for the Town
Board meeting, but anyway here I am. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Raymond. As you can see the Town Board
has been very busy, and this is constant. I would just like to make a couple
of comments. One is on the core watershed area. We're very pleased that the
west end of the Town was included, and hopefully now the east end, east of Mattituck
Inlet will be included. As Ellen mentioned the land transfer tax is dead. Again
it got held up in committees. We worked very hard trying to get it out. We
w~re promised it was going to get out, but I would have to say publicly that our
assemblyman Joe Sawicki, we can be very proud of. He did a tremendous job,
and I don't know who was more frustrated, he or I. One very important meeting
a week from tomorrow night, down in the Rec. Center, 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon,
7:00 o'clock at night, informational meeting on composting. All aspects of it will
be explained to people. Letters have been sent out. Press releases have been
given to the radio stations and newspapers, and this is an opportunity to learn
exactly what composting is, what it can do, and what it's limitations are, to discuss
c.ost., and to discuss the process that we're going to have there, and I would also
.like to compliment Councilwoman Jean Cochran on her perserverenceo We are moving__
along very well on affordable housing. It probably is one of the most frustrating
things for the entire Town Board, but we are making progress, and I thank you,
Jean, for you perseverance.

Description of Action: Proposed change of zone, on the Town Board's own motion,
on the parcel of land owned by Richard Carr, under tax map No. 1000-122-5-4,
from Hamlet Density (HD) Residential District to Low Density Residential R-40
District. The project has been determined not to have a significant effect on the
environment because an Environmental Form has been submitted and reviewed and
the Town Board has concluded that no significant adverse effect to the environment
is likely to occur should the project be implemented as planned, inasmuch as the
density allowed in the Hamlet Density (HD) Residential District is greater than
the density allowed under the Low Density Resiential R-40 District, therefore the
change of zone will not have a detrimental effect on the environment, but rather
will be an improvement thereon.

to comment. Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: No, thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes. I would just like to make a comment. There
have been two things that I feel needs a little line of communication between
committees or Board members. One is the Laurel Booth in Mattituck. I under-
stand, George, that Lois came to your Chamber meeting with the complaint. Mean-
while in working with developing the contract with Peter Krennin in relation to
the building, the building and grounds. We were working on the water problem,
and Jake was taking care of through Kreiger, so we were working on it, and then
another Board member goes in the direction of working on it, and I just think
there has to begin to be some communication. If something comes to you, and you
feel that it '.:could be under Buildinq and Grounds, at least give a yell and that
way I can say, hey, no we're not I~andling it, or if you want us to, and so on
and so forth. Also, in relation to the boat ramp up in Mattituck where George
at the direction of the Town Board went to investigate the feasibility of sharing
the boat ramp with the Mattituck Park District. There,again, the Parks Committee
is working on the development of that property in another direction, which goes
to the Trustees to begin with. I just think that if maybe something comes to your
attention or if it comes to mine, and I feel it's your committee, I'm going to throw
it in your direction. If you feel that maybe...you know we should at least get
a line of communication and we're not working on it or we are. So things go a
little smoother and two different committees aren't solving problems in different
ways. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Good point. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Well, I just want to say that if Jean was addressing me,
I 'wasn't doing any acting, because Ruth ..
COUI',~CIL?!O~'vIA~ COCHRAN: I'm not addressing you.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Ruth mentioned to Jean the problem and I was told it was
being handled, and as far as the direction that I went in the Mattituck boat ramp
area, I was given the approval of five members of the Town Board two weeks ago.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I realize that, George.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: George, please don't feel that I am personally making
these statements in any one person's direction. But I'm just stating this, that I
think it's better way of work for all committees, I don't care what they are.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I work with the full knowledge, the working knowledge
of the Town Board, especially in the Mattituck boat ramp.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: George, I'm not criticizing you. These are two things
that happened to fall in the privy of your committees. I'm just saying that the
Town Board should have a better line of communication if...you know if I get a
call and feel that it's your committee or Ruth's, you know I'll refer the people in
that direction, otherwise the right hand does not know what the left hand is
doing, and work is being duplicated in two different directions, and I stand on
my statement.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George?

448 JULY 5, 1989
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I'd just like to take this time right now to thank Ray
Jacobs. Kenny's 13each is in wonderful shape again, and I was going through
my memos here and I seem to have lost the letter where the Kenny's Beach
Association said that, Kenny's Beach, once, again, we appeared this year by magic,
and part of that magic was Ray Jacobs, and working with the County, I went
down with Ray Jacobs after the County was going to shut off the funding for the
project after about four days, and we decided that we needed a little more time
to get more work involved, and Ray went back to John Golde, and got three more
days worth of dredging down there in Goldsmith's Inlet area, so Kenny's Beach
is beautiful once again. It's nice to see it appear. So I have to agree with Kenny'?~
Beach Association, it was kind of like magic. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I just wanted to say, I was hoping for a little rain
because my flowers were getting kind of dry, but I think today was ridiculous
in all parts of Ne~ York. Thank you.
