$40, 000. 00. and $50,000.00 in reimbursements.---Mr. Mullen said he expects to have

11:15 A.M. - Mr. Chasrles Zahra and his attorney Eric Bressler met with the Town
Board, Acting Town Attorney Yakaboski and Executive Administrator of the Build-
ing Department Lessard to discuss Mr. Zahra's Appeal from Denial of Access to Records.
Acting Town Attorney Yakaboski reviewed the circumstances leading to the
appeal: Mr. Zahra's request for copies of the files maintained by the Building Depart-
ment for the time period November :1, 1985 to November 4, 1987; a review of the ~
files by the Building Department determining the cost of the copies of these records
to be $3,274.50, which Mr. Zahra was asked to pay in advance of, the copy rig; a
letter from Mr. Bressler requesting permission for Mr. Zahra to bring his own copy
machine into the Town Hall, which was denied.
When Mr. Zahra was denied permission to bring his copy machine into the Town
Hall, he then came in in early November and began examining the files in the Build-
ing Department, current and non-current, from November 1, 1985 to November 4,
1987. The major problem is that the files are stored in the Town Hall baseement
and requires zt clerk to go up and down stairs to retrieve them, and the only space
for reviewing the files is in the Bui.lding Department office, which is over-crowded,
and the situation became disruptive. Mr. Lessard imposed a time limitation of one
hour..and a half in the afternoon, and Mr. Zahra and Mr. Bressler complied with
the limitation.
453
DECEMBER 15, 1987
On November 30, 1987 Mr. LesSard~l~i~Mr~ Zahra further access, and the
Appeal resulted. Mr. lessard estimates that all ofcthe current files and-about 3,000
put-away files have been examined' by Mr. Zahra. There are about 1',000 more files
to~ examine. ,. Aside from the examination,- no request for photo copies has been made
subsequent to this time.
Mr. reasons for this meeting is to point out
: Town Board,-and also to try to rationally workout som~.~means,
in terms of~ time and physically where the :review of the~ files can. be ~done so that
the general operations of the Building Department and the Town Hall,are not disrupted
for a longer period of time. Mr. Yakaboski does not feel that the files should be
delivered to a citizen and he/she left alone with~ them; and that is the ~eason why
all of the work must be done in the presence of someone.
The law pertaining to public access-was reviewed width the Town BOard, .and
they determined that Mr. Zahra should be .permitted .to continue reviewing the. remain-
ing files on a full-time basis so his review may be completed as quickly as possible.
They directed Mr. Lessard to assign a clerk full-time to supply Mr. Zahra with
the records, and effective December 16, 4987 the Meeting Hall or Town Board Room
will be used, provided they are available (excepting court days or other scheduled
meetings or hearings). Mr. Bressler and~ Mr. Zahra ag~reed to the arrangement.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
11:40 A.M, - The Town Board and Acting Town Attorney Yakaboski m~, with
Engineer Robert Brown of Sidney Bowne Engineering, Raymond Dean,, Inspector
for Sidney Bowne, and Gary Taylor of Rogers and Taylor, Appraisers, to discuss
the Sisu Development property, Horton Lane, Southold~ the subject of a proceeding
under the Eminent Domain Procedure~ Law.
1:15 P.M. - Recess for lunch,
2:30 P.M. - Work Session reconvened and the Town Board' met with Joseph Fischetti,
Jr. to discuss Mr. Fischetti!s proposal to create a course in'"Constructing Your
Own Affordable Home"; a course to-teach individuals, who are pre-selected by the
Town as being in need, to act as their own general contractor in building their
own home. The course would provide two or three affordable house designs, a
detailed set of material take-offs and complete set of cost estimates, with the course
teaching the students~how~to use them. The course could provide a preferred 'sub-
contractors list (a point questioned by Councilman Penny) using local tradesmen
who would be willing to. work with the "students". Perhaps material supplies and
subcontractors would be willing to give a discount to these special people~. The
Board agreed the proposal has merit and suggested Mr. Fischetti work with Community
Development Administrator Jim McMahon to. prepare a list of qualified pec~ple for
such a-program.
2:45 P.M. - For Discussion Items: (1) Letter from Roger Burns, Superintendent.
of Schools, Mattituck-Cutchogue School District, requesting the Town Board to amend
the Scavenger Waste Ordinance and Alarm Systems Law to exclude .local tax supported
organizations such as school.districts, free libraries, and fire departments.--Under
the Scavenger Waste Ordinance, a law which required.State approval, exemptions.
are prohibited. With respect to the Alarm Law, exemptions.will be discussed with
Chief of Police Winters. (2) Letter from Henry E. Rayr~_ r, Jr., representing the
Norris-Wanat change of zone, advising that the Planning Board cannot proceed further
with the~:r, eview of the zone change until certain information and determi'nations are
obtained from the Suffolk County Department of-Health Services, and Health Services
will only supply _the required information to a municipal agency. The Town Board
agreed the Supervisor should forward a letter of request for the information the
Planning Board 'desires. (3) Proposed resolution uring County Executive-elect Halpin
to rethink his position on the Town Revenue Sharing part of the~° sales tax (see
resolution no. 18). (4) Decision on the appeal of Charles Zahra (see 11:15 A.M.)

COUNCILMAN PENNY: Just that I was I~resent at a Water Advisory meeting which

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay?
COUNCILMAN 5CHONDEBARE: Nothing, Frank, thank you:
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: ! had two nice occasions. On the December 6th -
I was,at the American Legion and we celebrated the problems of Pearl Harbor, and
then that evening I went down and they had the Christmas Tree li,qhtin_cl at the
hospital, which was another nice event. Then we had this Water Advisory Comm-ittee·
meeting on December 7th, which was a combined meeting of the Water Advisory Committee
and .the Farmland Preservation Committee, and members of the DEC who are in land
purchase to give some information as to how they went abeut,'it~ We also had Bob
Villa, who is the President of the Farmland Committee, and also a member of the
Water Advisory Committee, present a very elaborate map which showed a watershed
area that the Water Advisory Committee have accepted. This area is approximately
500 feet south of the railroad track, extending on the west side of Mattituck, from
the border of Riverhead and Laurel to I think it'S. Cox's Lane. Then it's about
1500 feet north of the railroad tracks to approximately-where the Lilco power line
is. Then we skip the hamlet of Mattituck and start at Mill ~Lane in Mattituck in
this area again 500 feet and the Lilco power line, all the way ,east to about Ackerly
Pond Lane-.-a little past that to Greenport's pumping station. The hope is that
this will be an area--overlay area on our Master Plan Map so that we'll be very
particular what goes on in this area,_ because this has been determined to be the
watershed area. If you think of land coming down it would then percolate into the
ground and run north and south from this center line, a divide, and therefore
nothing run into this area from the farmalnds and therefore there should be fairly
pristine water under this area. We're meeting with the Planning Board this coming _ ,
Thursday, and we will then have a joint meeting with them to set up some perhaps
rules and regulations. I think that's it, Frank..
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, I've had several meetings, in addition to affordable
housing. Also I had the opportunity to take part in one: of the programs that the
Recreation Center was providing as far as the trip to the Nassau Colliseum to see
"Disney On Ice", and I just say that I had more fun, then the kids, but it was great
watching the kids that went and the excitement when Mickey Mouse skated out on
the ice. Also i would like to make note of a letter received from Gregory Blass,
that the County Legislature has approved our Supported Work Project Program.
This is f~r the handicapped--in the budget of '88, and that they have--he suggested
that Mrs. cardona and her group reinforce the importance of this program to County
Executive Michael LoGrande so that it is included in the final budget. Also I would
like to take a moment to read a letter from Pe~l Katzenber~t. Unfortunately I wasn't
aware that she was leaving in the beginning of December, but I think it's important
in relation to the work that she has done by serving as Chairman of the Substance
Abuse Committee, that the letter is entered into the record, and that the Board
unanimously--the minutes show that the Board unanimously expresses their grateful
appreciation to Mrs. Katzenberg for her contribution to the community. "Dear Jean:
This is not an easy letter to write. I have always known that I could never live
long enough to end substance abuse .in Southold Town, but I do believe i saw myself
working at it right up to my end. Now I feel like a quitter because I've been
persuaded that I should go.to a warmer climate for the winter months this year.
DECEMBER 15, 1987
I, me, am getting a late ~tart on. December 17th. As President of CAST Bet,ty Price
will call or write you soon-to, arrange for the next meeting in early';January. During
the past three years I've had an amazing,' exciting, learning and working experience.
F6r 57 years I have spent at leasl~ four months of the year. in Southold, and for
the past 11 of these all 12 months. I thought I..knew my Town and. it's peo~)le well,
but not so. N-eve~- had I imagined 'sUch an outpouring of community s~p~or~nd
help. The Substance Abuse ~ommittee started with f~ur members in 197~. Since
then more than 60 people have actually worked for it and/or on a committee for SL[bstance
Abuse Awarene§s Weel~. Hundreds m6re,_ school~ Children lmaking posters or~ bumper
stickers, writing essays, or playing games, i Citizens 0f al! ages as members of support
civic gr')ups, r~iicli°u~ clr0u~Ds and l~e business` commUnitY~ .The PoliCe Department,
s_chool administrators, vn and Village officials and
staff, and the' press, know our efforts
must continue and. that you will see ~ be around on or before APril
1st, '88 and I hope that~ as a part~t,mer I may work with you again. You,ye given
a great deal of support' and I shall always be grateful. Ali go~d wishes for a joyous
holiday and for a better than ever 1988. Ever fondly, peg.,, And I'm sure, the
Board i°ins me in expressing their grateful appreCiati~n f~' the work that Peg did
with the Substance Abuse Committee, and Judy, I would like.for her to get a copy
of the minutes, please. Because she's left and we should have presented her with
some recognition, Frank.' That',s it, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes, a week ago yesterday Brad Burnham, President. of the
Fishers Island Civic Association flew me over to Southold and we sat down with
Supervisor Murphy, Henry Smith and Larry_ Penny, and we talked over the new
Environmental Consultant's job on Fishers Island. Mr. Penny is comin~ over to
the Island on Saturday .for a little brief'look around and to 9et associated w]ith his
office over there, and transportation. After the first of the year Larry Penny is
coming to the Island to meet with all the contractors and lust make himself known
and.what his duties will be over there. Last Friday I had an opportunity to go
to a breakfast over in. Niantic, Connecticut, put on by~ Northeast Util t¥,z and it's
just an informational film for the local first selectmen and mayors of the towns
su rounding the MHlstone Atomic Power Plants there, just to touch base with the
people and 'let them know about this new informational film that is. available and
then after that breakfast I had a personal three hour tour of Millstone 111, which
is down-now for refueling, and it's a time that they can really take the people in
and out of the plant and show them how it works and 'so forth and so on. ~ 'had
been involved with Millstone I and II in putting in the telephone systems wa~, back
when , and it's amazing the amount of 'work that they've done the~e in the ~ast
ten years, and I can safely say that, all three_units have been very safely operating.
for ten-or twelve years, beginning with Unit I, then .Unit II, and now Unit I11-.
It's .quite. impressive. That's it, Frank, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank .you, Ray. The only thing I~d like to add is I'm
very happy to see it reported that the Suffolk Count.y Water Authority is ta~ing
over Captain Kidd's Water District on a contract, I b~lieve, today, and will be taking
it over officially very shortly.

it. So perhaps in 1988 the Garbage District in Southold will be formed eliminating
the taxpayers on Fishers Isl!and from contributing to the Cutchogue Landfill. Thank
