abdicate their authority to the Waste Management Task Force. He said he has heard
it said that if 'the Town is not able to meet the December, 1990 deadline, they are
making arrangements to ship the garbage out of Town. He asked the Town Board to
work toward extending the landfill law and securing money from the state to help solve
our problem.---Mr. Siegmann also asked the Board to take a look at the senior citizen
tax exemption. The county has increased theirs 'by $600, and the Town's, which is
now $13,000, should go up to $13,600.---In response to Mr. Siegmann's comments with
respect to the Task Force, Councilman-Elect Wickham advised Mr. Siegmann that the
charge of the Task Force is to make recommendations to the Town Board-.---In

went on to discuss the Recycling Analysis and Part 360 Application he is working on
for the Town which must be submitted by December 31st. This is the last item to
complete the composting application, and he feels should be submitted should the Town
turn to some form of composting in the solid waste management plan. After January
1st the DEC will not accept an application without a solid waste management plan. Mr.
Desmarais also recommended 'the installation of wells on the 16 acre site to the west

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At this time, I'd like to ask the Councilman, if they
have anything special to report, starting on my right with Ruth Oliva.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Right after the Town Board meeting, the next meeting,
Jay Schondebare held an advanced course on SEQRA, which was very well done,
and I enjoyed it very much. On December 13th, we had a Code C~ommittee meeting.
We discussed the peddling ordinance, that the Chamber wanted. There was still
more work to be done on it. We spent most of the rest of the time~ talking about
accessory structures, and there's still, again, more work to be done on storage,
the bulk and parking for different zones, and we will be continuing, working
on that. On Decembe~ 14th, I went to Hauppauge to do some additional work,
with the Special Groundwater Protection Area. As far as our draft, a proposal
to have the East End of the Special Groundwater Protection Area included into
the main body of the rest of the counties. On December 14th, we had a Solid
Waste Task Force Committee meeting. Also, on December 14th, I attended the
executive session with the CSEA with Charlie Graves. On December 15th, we
had a Technical Advisory Committee meeting with the Suffolk County Water
Authority, and they brought us up to date on some things, such as Bayview
Ventures, and Captain Kidd, and what have you. We will, hopefully, be having
some meetings with the Technical Advisory Committe with the new Town Board,
to bring them up to snuff. On December 18th, we had a meeting of the Recycling
Committee. We're just starting to get going on that, for the Town. We had
another meeting of the Solid Waste Task Force, the same afternoon. On December
20th, we had another meeting of the Solid Waste Task Force. I think, that's
it. Frank, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ruth. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes. I have nothing in particular to report, except that
I attended a lot of those similar meetings, and with the spirit of the holidays,
I'm not going to get into anymore garbage. I want to wish everyone a Happy
New Year, and I look forward to the next four years. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes. I would like to give a quick overview of my
committees. I will try to keep this short, because like I'm finished, and I haven't
left yet. It's a terrible feeling. I would just like to run down through these,
with some of the things, that the committee has accomplished, and in some places
there are recommendations. In relation to Parks, as you know, the Laurel Lake
Park is completed on the front half pretty much. The lake area,still, has to
be done, and what I've done with my files, I have left a note in the front of
each one, as to what the committee was working on, and what direction we were
taking at the time, so that the new Chairman has a little something, although
they may have served the committee, so for unfinished business. Also, it was
a pleasure to work on helping to bring about the tourist information booth in
Laurel. I think between the booth and the park, that's now been updated, we
have a lovely, lovely site, that Southold Town can be proud of. In the Spring,
they will be following through, with the help of the DEC, in developing the area
near the lake, hopefully as the plan had called for, for a visual type picnic area,
DECEMBER 27, 1989
and nature trails, and access for the handicapped. So hopefully, this-project
will be brought to it's completion. Also, I know there's been a great deal of
talk of a boat ra'mp on the corner of a Westphalia area. I realize the need is
there for a boat ramp for our local baymen. The site, several years ago, five
years ago, when I first came on the Board, I felt was the site. It's been
resurrected, and I think it's worth investigating, again, as a boat site. There
will be some concerns, as far as cost, and if it's an expense, that will justify
the project, if not the Parks Committee, and the land does belong to the Trustees,
but the Parks Committee at one point had felt very strongly, as I still do, that
it would certainly be a credit to upgrade the corner by making it a rest stop,
with the visual effects of the creek ricjht there. It would be a lovely rest stop
along the North Road, which we do not have for people traveling through, and
I think all of us realize, that tourism is a big key in our economy, and certainly --
the more pleasurable, we make areas for people traveling through, the more they
want to visit the area. I know when we travel, we always took for that roadside
stop to have our picnic lunch, when our children were younger, because it was
what we could afford. Also, I was very pleased, and I'm pleased that the Town
Board presented me with a picture of th~ gazebo. It was one of the committees,
that was a real pleasure, because it was a fun type committee, working with John
Halsey, and the Peconic Land Trust. He's a fine, fine gentleman, one of the
finest I've ever met, and he's sincere. He felt great accomplishment in working
through the Park, the Green that we have now, down on the corner. The only
thing, I think that's important, I was agreeable to serving on the committee,
because I felt that it would be a living, breathing park. It has not been used
to the extent, that the committee hoped that it would be. We'd like to see concerts,
and maybe, the Boy Scouts, if they had little fund raising, or just it should
be a park, and the Board should encourage people to use the facility, because
it was meant to used. It's not just there to look at, as another open space.
So that I would like to see happen in the future. In relation to affordable housing,
when I first came on the Board, the Town did not have an inventory of Town
owned properties, so I worked very closely with Jack Sherwood, and redeveloped
a listing of the Town owned properties, here in Southold Town, and through
this, we were able to find some lands, that were not used, that we were able
to utilize for affordable housing. In addition to the fourteen houses, that are
just about complete, or hopefully they're in by now, ! haven't checked with Jim,
the Committee was able two in the Greenport area, down at the corner of Linnett
and Seventh. These were Iow income houses, which where sold at a lower cost.
We have two more houses, that are being worked on, as far as Walnut in Mattituc~,
and another on Flint, that hopefully can be sold again, to Iow income, I~elow
$50,000.00. I would suggest, when went through the fourteen houses for. this
affordable housing program, and I know there was criticism of the lottery, and
perhaps that was premature, unfortunately, but there is no fair way to do this.
A lottery is the only way to insure that you're not accused of political favoritism,
in the people that received these homes. I would make the recommendation to
the Board, that in the future, we would look at the affordable housing law, but
this was not used in producing these fourteen houses. I would suggest to the
Board, that the next time that they used Town property, in the affordable housing
area, that they change the zone on the property first to the affordable housing
zone. Hopefully, the Board will still consider the selling of some Town property,
that can be utilized to buy raw land to do a more involved housing project. This
is all feasible, and this can all happen. The problem that we met with, in making
this sort of project happen, is the water problem. We did meet with Greenport
Utility Committee, and they felt that.., and we had correspondence that there
was no way, that Greenport could make water available to us. So this has been
the biggest stumbling block, in trying to provide affordable housing, is the
availability of water, because you want to develop your affordable housing zones,
where water is available, public water, because then you get the density you
need, to keep the project affordable. Under Building and Grounds, this was
one of my fun committees. I would walk through Town Hall, and say we've got
to make this place neat and tidy, and I think, thanks to Alex, that it has been
brought up to a certain level. There were areas, that needed painting, tiles
being fixed, just on and on, many maintenance things, that needed looking after. --
There are stil some things, and Ken is concerned up in the Recreation Center,
that hopefully Scott will be followed through on. The Building Department does
do an 'nspection, and there are some listings on there, which our Supervisor
gave to Alex, and in addition, there are some minor repairs, as far as shades,
so on and so on, and the front door has to be replaced, but all this, again,
will be in the file, so that it can be ongoing in keeping up with the buildings,
and there's no reason, I believe, that they are assets of the taxpayer, and that
they should be maintained the same as everything else is maintained. Under
beaches, I think our beaches are in pretty good shape, as far as this summer
is concerned, t's one of the few services, that people can visually see in return
for their taxes, is providing Town beaches. They know we plow snow, but they
look at beaches, as one of the things, that they get in return for their taxes,
and thanks to Ellen and my committee, I think we've brought it up to snuff,
and Paul Stoutenburgh before Ellen, but our biggest and main problem is life
guards. As the Board heard me say, more than once, during this past year,
DECEMBER 27, 1989 2 2 7
we'll be lucky if we can keep our~,beache~ all opened. We're having great
difficulty, since the Red Cross stopped giving swimming lessons, which you
know, began with the beginner, then to the intermediate, and work your way
up to the ranks of lifesaver. The kids seemed to go through this progression,
and then they would reach lifesaving, and we would have life guards to pluck.
They're no longer there. We offer the swimming program, and of course, maybe,
it should be structured that it does start with the beginning, .and go into inter-
mediate, and through to life saving, and that way, at least we'd be training kids
to work their way up. It's a possibility for the Beach Committee to understand,
but the Committee over the past year, we did increase some of the beach fees,
because we felt that, the only way we're going to get life guards is to increase
their salary. It's something that you have to have, so this is going to be an
ongoing problem, as far as the availability of life guards. I don't think the young
people today, see it as that glamorous job, that our young people used to feel
it was years ago, to sit in the sun and get tan for the summer, and look at all
the pretty girls, but that's not happening. Beaches, when we first started our
recreation program, it was my feeling, that your recreation program should really
be parks and recreation as a combined uhit, and of course, beaches work into
that, as part of your park system. I went in the direction of keeping recreation
separate, because at that time, we already had an established budget for our
beaches and parks, or the few parks we own. If we had thrown recreation into
that, the public would have thought, my God, look at the budget for recreation;
They would not always distinguish between the two areas, so recreation was kept
as a separate budget, but I really think that they're all interelated, and they
really all should work through the same committee. Fortunately the Supervfsor
realized that they do relate, and he did put the same people on Recreation, as
Parks and Beaches, so it worked out very well, because one overflows into the
other. Also, unfortunately, I was misquoted in one of the papers back, but
that happens, you know, when you serve in public life, in relation to the New
York State Division for Youth, requesting that, in the firsf quarter of 1990,
that we have a recreation type drop-in center available for the young people,
that comes from Joe Marino, that holds the position, that oversees this whole
direction, and if not,it certainly does threaten our funding in our JAB, and some
of our other areas. I think this can be easily done. The misquote was, that
I felt that it was water done the drain. I never feel that way. We have tried
it in the past. It has not worked, because of our geographic area,of the township.
It's difficult to service young people, all.'in one area. I think you have to do
some outreach programs, where you take some programs to the different locale.
We do not provide bus service. It's difficult for parents to bring their young
people for a few hours in the evening, because now days, in order to survive,
both the husband and wife have to work to provide a living for their families,
but I think that you try, again, and if it doesn't work, you try it again, because
it's something that's important enough to try again, and again. I do not see
it, as money down the drain. I am somewhat dissapt:ointed in the area of Recreation,
I think it comes from the lack of facilities. Our recreation program, we provide
certain services, and it's very difficult to justify to the taxpayer, preventive
type projects, and I always see your Boy Scouts, your Girl Scouts, any of these,
your Town recreation, as a preventive measure for young people. It's very difficult
to measure, after a child gets in trouble, and they end up going through the
court system, you can attach a cost to it, and you can come to a conclusion,
but anything that's preventive is very hard to measure, and people can not.
justify cost on preventative type activities. I think it's very important, that
the Town begin to build their recreation activities in the area, and again, it
depends on the land and the facility, but I had hoped at this point, that the
Town would going in the direction of, at least providing tennis courts, and
perhaps a few ball diamonds. It's something, that I see the Recreation Department,
as, yes, providing some services, and providing some program, but it's been
on the same plan, since we started it, and I think more has to be put into it,
to begin to obtain additional things to help this program go. It's important.
Believe me,. it's important. Highway Committee. There is something, we have
left there. We've been trying to get in place, I think., for the last couple of
years, highway specs for the minor subdivisions. Now, before Rob Berntsson
left us, the Committee did finalize all of this, but now what has to happen, it
has to be integrated into what is going on, what is already in the Code. So
this is a nice job, that the Committee can give to our Town Attorney, whoever,
or our Assistant Town Attorney, and have the pleasure of integrating all of this,
because it's sorely needed, and Superintendent Jacobs would agree with this,
because he's the one that's been pushing for it, for quite some time. The Highway
Committee did at one point, agree to meet with the Planning Board once a month.
We don't meet, if there's nothing_ to be on the agenda. If there is something
to be on the agenda, then we meet, but I think it has been fruitful, when members
of both committees are present, and I will leave it at that. I did have some
suggestions and recommendations for a better way of work for the Town Board.
I'm going to hold that. I think our next Supervisor will have his own management
skills. I think there are better ways for the Town Board to work as a unit.
I think it's unfor;~unate that, when there is a great deal of dissention at the top,
it does filter down, and effect those at the bottom, and I think that's part of
what has happened in Town Hall, and there are solutions, and ways to correct
this, and Scott, God bless you, it's going to be yours. I would like to say,
I am staying witl~ the Substance Abuse Committee. It's something very dear
to my heart. I don't think many residents,in the Town, realize the seriousness
of the problems of substance abuse in Southold Town. I think we've been
negligent in not doing something prior to this. Thank God, we're in it now,
because I think it's something that's sorely needed. It's not only a problem,
that effects our youth. It's a problem, that also effects our seniors. You'll
see many, many articles or documentaries on TV, where our seniors save prescribed
drugs for committing suicide, or many other things, so it's an educational .... the
main focus of the committee will be educational, because the more that people
are informed, the better they understand, so hopefully that will be our role.
I would like to congratulate Scott Harris, and wish him well as our new Superviso
and Mr. Wickham, also. It's time involved, but I'm sure you'll derive a great
deal of pleasure. It's a good challange, and I'd like to end my report in thanking
Frank. As I said earlier, don't get emotional now, Jean. I think we've worked
well together. We had g ve and take, an.d good luck to you in your retirement,
Frank. Thank you.

JUSTICE EDWARDS: The only thing I want to comment on, Frank, is that I'm
looking forward to the beginning of the New Year. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY Thank you, Raymond. Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: As you might have seen, the agenda is very dr'/
at times. Today was what I consider one of our driest agendas, but our two
outgoing elected officials, Councilwoman Cochran, and Supervisor Murphy, I don't
think but another Town Board member can fully appreciate the dedication and
the hard work, that these two people have put into their term of office. How
many things in your own personal life, that you may have to put on a back burner,
because the Town of Southold becomes your first priority, and I know with these
two particular individuals, both Jean and Frank, the Town of Southold was a
priority for them, and that public service, and the service that they gave to
the residents of the Town of Southold, will be remembered for many years to
come, and Jean, I would like to personally say, that the two years, that I have
worked with you, I have found to be very fulfilling. I have enjoyed working
with you. You have been very helpful to me. You've always been very open
to my opinion. You've always considered them carefully, and incorporated them,
and given credit were credit is due. It's really been a true pleasure, and I
wish you, and your husband, and your family, the best of everything. Frank,
as far as y~ou go, you've brought the Town Board a brain storm. You could
come with a new idea, and you always had the ability to express, and you were
willing to listen to many different points of view, from many different people.
I think that was very healthy for the Town, to be able to bring new philosophy.
Nothing wa~ more apparent in the number of applications, we got from the
Southold Planning Board in this last vacancy, which we attracted very, very
qualified people, and I think that's attributed to the openness, that you brought
to government, and to let everyone in the Town of Southold know, that no matter
who you were, the Town of Southold is available to you, and I think that's a
pretty good compliment.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. It is. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I would just like to say, I intend to pop my head
through the door once in awhile, and give a wave, and I'd like to wish everyone
a very healthy and happy New '¥ear, and God bless you all.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes. I'd just like to wish the best to everybody here,
and a Happy New Year, and it's been a pleasure to serve with Frank and Jean,
and I wish them the best in the future.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I'd just like to say, Jean, I've worked on quite a few
committees with you, and I have admired your hard work, and the dedication,
and the time you have spent on all of them, and certainly, you have my sincerest
admiration on the stand that you have taken with the composting, that we all
went into, and I wish you and Pep, the best of retirement, and a healthy and
happy New Year, and Frank, it's been my priviledge and pleasure to work with
you these past few years. Since I started to know you back in 1981, when I
was mostly up there yelling at you, but t can't tell anybody how much time this
man has spent working for good of the Town of Southold. He has worked 36
hour days, for as many years as he's been here, and I think he deserves our
absolute gratitude, and admiration, and I wish you, and your family, the happiest
and most healthful of New Years. Thank you, '
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I have just a few short comments. One, this is my last
meeting. I'm about 300 Town Board meetings, I imagine. I didn't ask Judy to
add them up, but I'm sure it's about 300 meetings, and it really was a pleasure
to work with many, many people, this Town Board and Town Boards before
this, going back to the days..we have our ex-supervisor here, which I'm joining
in his ranks in a couple of days. It really was very, very rewarding on the
many, many programs, that Southold Town has put into place. I think we are
a leader in many, many areas, and I'm very proud of that. It was a great honor
for me to work with these many people, and for the people of Southold Town,
and I wil be here. I will be around. I'm not retiring. I'm retiring from this --
field, but unfortunately, I still have to go to work. So at this time, thank you.
It really was a pleasure serving with everybody, and serv ng the people of South~
Town. So at this time, I'd like to ask anyone in audience, if they would have
anything to say to the Town Board. This is the last chance for this Board.
Charl:io ?
CHARLES ZAHRA: October 16, 1989, I submitted a letter to the entire Town Board,
and sent one to Scott Harris, also. I have yet to receive a response, and I
was just curious, if anything is being done on this matter.
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Can you refresh my memory on the conte~ats we
received?
CHARLES ZAHRA: The reference was the construction of a house on Alvah's
Lane in Cutchogue. Are you all familiar with it?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I believe it went to the Building Department. We'll look
into, and I'll get you an answer where it is.
CHARLES ZAHRA: Okay. The last time, I think, you said Jay was Iookinq into
it. --
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll see if we can get you an answer. Anyone else
like to address the Town Board? Scott?
SCOTT HARRIS: I'd like to thank this Board for all the work, it has done,
in all the years. As a resident, and as a taxpayer, I know that this Town has
embarked on many, many issues, and that this Town Board, particularly Frank
and Ruth, and Ellen, and Ray, and Jean have been taking on many tasks, that
concern many, many hours of work. I know, for a fact, that those who are
public officials are never thanked enough for their time and effort, that they
do put into a job. Whether they get elected, or whether they don't get elected,
there's never enough credit given to those people, who put themselves forth,
and run, and try to do a job for the people where they live and represent, and
on behalf of myself, I'd like to thank you for the opportunity of knowing this
Board. I'd like to thank you for the time I've served under this Board, as an
assessor, and 1, also, would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, and wha~
ever endeavors, you may head into in the next year, and the next decade, God
bless you all. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Scott. We wish you well. Anyon~else?
Mr. Pell?
WILLIAM PELL: Thank you, Frank. First, I'd like to ask George and Ray,
why they abstained' from paying the Town bills? What bills are in there?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I didn't do any of the audit, Bill.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: The four of us did the audit to give us our quorum.
George and Ray, I think, came in a little later, and we were finished already.
Theyalwaysabstain, if they haven't worked on it.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: That's a good part of it. There's more, I'd be very
happy to discuss with you anytime.
WILLIAM PELL: Is there anybody, who is willing give a report on the new Waste
Management Committee, which was formed a month ago? You had some meetings.
I know Ruth was on. it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Tom gave a report during the work session, Bill.
you would like to comment further, Tom, on progress?
WILLIAM PELL: I sure we'd all like to hear where we stand.

THOMAS H. WICKHAM: 1'11 sumarize very quickly to say that, the charge of
the task force has been to put the Town in compliance with State law according
to the guidelines, that have been provided to us. We have begun actively working
on recycling. There is a recycling committee, which Ruth is the Chairperson.
We've had a series of meetings, and we're beginning to put into place,a recycling
program for the Town. It will presumeable be voluntary beginning early in the
year, and become a mandatory program,by the middle of the year. We have a
technical resources committee of the task force, which is screening prospective
engineering consultant firms, that would give us support of an engineering nature,
and we hope by the end of this year, to have scopes of services presented for
our consideration, that we can, then, go back and try to get prices for. We've
had discussions with Brookhaven, and we'll have discussions with other towns,
also Southampton, with the view of putting together a regional resource recovery
option, that involves towns other than just Southold. We had, I believe eight
meetings, and another one tonight. There's been a great deal of activity, and
I would say, a good spirit of cooperation.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Tom.
WILLIAM PELL: Is there anymore about transporting, as Scott mentioned on
television? Are we looking at transportation for that, or not?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's the next Board, Bill.
WILLIAM PELL: I just thought if this' committee was..
COUNCILMAN PENNY: The charge, of this task force has been to develop a solid
waste management plan, and I'm sure that, whatever different alternatives pop
up, that they will..every viable alternative will be researched under the solid
waste management plan, and then brought to the Town Board for consideration.
So all aspects have to be addressed, and this is something that the Town has
not done in the past, and is something that is the charge of the task force. So
as far as taking one item, or two items out of the context of the entire solid
waste management plan, until that plan is drafted, it's really Unfair for us to
say, or anybody to say that the Town Board is leaning in one dire~:tion or another,
because there is no leaning right now. It's strictly in its research stages, and
we'll be very happy to keep you appraised of how it develops.
WILLIAM PELL: Thank you. This money, that you take in lieu of parks and
land, that goes into the general fund?

Hearing none, I would just like to make one more comment. I wish everybody
the very best for the New Year. Have a healthy prosperous, and a very good
New Year, and I wish the best for the incoming Town Board. I wish them the
best, and I'm sure Jean is available. I'm available at any time to help out at
