They agreed the meetings were geared more toward those people present at the meetings whose properties would be affected by the freshwater wetland maps. One point that was brought up, however, dealt with. possible tax abatements should some properties be considered condemned because of the presence of freshwater wetlands .and the possibility of the owners receiving some monetary compensation for the property. Members discussed whether the CAC should try a newspaper ad to have people come forward to reveal freshwater wetlands on their property or neighboring properties . Some members suggested that if the CAC let people know of a tax abatement or monetary compensation, some people might be more willing to have their properties placed on the map. After a discussion, it was decided that the Council may mislead the public if it tried to print an ad of that nature. Betty Wells suggested she might write to the NFEC about properties it knows of for inclusion in the map. Any additions would have to be sent to the DEC by August 30- to be included in the DEC process .

Due to his candidacy for Trustee, Chairman Holzapfel felt his name on the column would not be appropriate and suggested the other members consider writing the column. Betty Wells expressed an interest and said she would consider the assignment . Chairman Holzapfel reminded members of the runoff workshop to be held August 17 , 1989 at Suffolk county Community College. Chairman Holzapfel reported that he had met with the Southold Town Board to discuss the paid position of CAC Chairman. The Town Board advised Mr. Holzapfel that they would prefer the Council continue as it had in the past , with possible compensation for the Chairman for his expanded duties . The Board seuggested the CAC come back to the Town Board with a proposal. After a lengthy discussion, the Council decided to ask the Town Board for compensation at $15 .00 per hour for "special projects" . Members working on a special project would keep a log of the time spent and submit a voucher for the work. Chairman Holzapfel will present the proposal to the Town Board at its next meeting. for its approval. A discussion was held concerning the possible use of recycled paper at the Southold Town Hall.
