Jacobs (Town Attorney Robert W. Tasker, iii}. 9:00 A.M. - Board of Appeals Chairman Gerard Goehrin~er met with the Board to discuss computerization of! the town departments. He suggested the appointment of a steering committee of two Town Board members and some of the department heads to investigate computerization possibilities. He spoke about the Lanier computers used in the county offices which? might be considered by the town. Assessor Chairman Fred Gordon suggested hiring a consultant which was generally agreed upon by the Board. 9:30 A.M. - Planning Board members William Mullen, G. Ritchie Latham and Richard Ward to seek input from the Town Board with respect to the Norris "M" zoned property at New Suffolk Avenue. and Camp Mineola Road, Mattituck, presently under contract by Richard Carr, who intends to develop the property in accordance with the "M" zone regulations.

Mandel, and committeo members George Wetmore and Lois Callis appeared before the Board to present the committee's Southold's Affordable Housing Program, dated January 23, 1986.. "It is the belief of the Southold Housing Advisory Committee that affordable housing for the citizens of the Town should be provided by a special zoning ordinance which permits varying densities in specific districts; by mitigating some infrastructure regulations; and by streamling the process of obtaining permits to build .... The program is focused in the hamlet areas of town, where it is judged to have the best chance of success and where it is most likely to conform to traditional patterns of development in rural and small town communities .... . A copy of the program is on file i~n the Town Clerk's Office. :-Former Superintendent of Highways Raymond C. Dean~w~-:present during this meeting and spoke to the Board with respect to the highway specifications, definition of ~econdary ~roads, and the consequences of constructing ~ubstandard roads, which would require approval by a Town Board resolution. 11:30 A.M. - Lewis L.

Mrs. Marriner also addressed the Board, as a private citizen, with respect to the Master Plan and her opinion that the Town Board are going for short-term profits without considering the long term economic vitality of Southold Town; there is no marketing plan 'to develop the economy around. In a prepared statement Mrs. Marriner stated, "We do have a potential unifying concept - the unique character for which there is and could be a great demand. The North Fork could be another Williamsburg, Virginia for example - attracting tourists and our seasonal residents year round and providing dollars for our local businessmen." She offered to explore her concept further at another time, but urged the Board to think long range plans and what they are building for the future when they consider zoning changes, and urged that they talk with the Economic Advisory Committee before they are pressured by the developers into making serious mistakes with the North Fork. 3:15 P.M. - Tony Blados and ~wo colleagues met with the Town Board to discuss possible life insurance coverage for certain Town officials, the overall cost of which will be analyzed by the Board before further consideration. 2 8 7 3:40 P.M. - Ralph Condit, Conserv~{~'~¢~'~isory Council member, met with the Board to discuss a recent study of critical areas of coastal fish and wildlife habitats in the Town of Southold as released by the New York State Department of State, and the re-evaluations and expansions of the areas proposed to be submitted by the CAC.

For anyone in the audience, these reports are on file with tile Town Clerk. Any reports that you are interested in you may always find there. 1. Southold Recreation Department - Susan Fossett - December 1985 report. 2. Town Clerk Terry - monthly report - January 1986. 3. At this time I'd like to ask the Councilmen on special reports of their activities for this month; George. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, we had a meeting of the Highway Committee last Friday and a couple of things were discussed. One was the concern frOm someI'~ of these citizens in the western portion of Town about the traffic limit on Sound Avenue and that has been addressed. The Chief of Police is sending a letter ,t~j requesting that it be--it's a bad zone and it's going to be dropped, hopefully, to 45 miles per hour, which will coincide with Riverhead. Mind you that is a section of Town, or a section of the road in Town that is going to be coming up for improve- ment in the next few months. The funds have already been approved for this, so I think that we're acting in a timely fashion on that. We got into another discussion on some of the roads of subdivisions which we've put off right now. They will be brought up at a later date with a recommendation from the Highway Department. As far as the Dog Pound goes, we haven't made any progress at this point, but starting tomorrow we have an architect that will be working with us and I hope to meet with him: tomorrow at noon and start making plans for the new building, there. As far as Buildings and Grounds goes, a little bit of bad news on the Peconic Civic Center. We've got a delay because the labor to fix the outside of the building is running a little higher than we anticipated and it's going to have to go out for bids, so there may be, hopefully, a short-term delay in this until we can go out to bid on it, but the materials are on their way and what we've got to do at this point is just basically line up somebody to do the labor and we have to do it through the bid process, so it's unfortunate, but there's going to be a slight delay [here. That's all. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jay? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, Frank, I attended the Highway Committee, as Councilman Penny indicated. We also attended the seminar we had here on the digester, waste digester. We had a very good audience and it was a very good presentation, color and slides, and a lot of interesting questions and answers. It sounds like a concept that we will definitely explore for Southold Town. We had a Landfill Committee meeting. We've made some changes at the Landfill. Ray Jacobs has assumed direct supervision of the Landfill. We had a Police Committee meeting and one of the things that came out of that is that we're going to change the colors of the police cars in town, so long as it is correctly reported--it's not baby blue or light blue, but it will be a blue in color, at the request of our Chief of Police. And we also discussed whether or not additional police officers are necessary. We'll probably have a further meeting to finalize that. A whole bunch of meetings going on at the Town Hall lately. That's all ! can remember at the present time. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. Paul? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Thank you. I attended those meetings also~ except for the Police Committee meeting, and the two I'd like to report on is this one which people might be interested in, an area in Orient a lot of people are concerned about and is our highest shellfish area, Hallocks Bay. The Orient Association asked us to look into seeing if we could set this area aside as a critical environmental area. We had a meeting on this of the CAC, the Baymen, the Town Trustees and many of our Town Board members were there also, and we had a good discussion. Thereare two alternatives to follow. One is the one which the Association asked us to follow, and the other would be to see if we could get the local land owners to work out a plan of their own. We agreed to follow both of these and we have are now waiting to find a boundary map. and Jay Bredemeyer and I are working on that map and in the inter~ Mr. Tuthill, along with Mr. Latham and Mr. T~rry are going to get together with th~ ! landowners and .come up with a meeting. So it s something new. We t~ad the DEC da, ~ here and they gave us some guidance and hopefully this will take effect:. The other which would probably be interesting to the public, would be the Waterways Committee, which has again involved the Town Trustees, Henry Smith and Jay Bredemeyer and some of our Town Board members. Frank Kujawski was there also for his input from last year, being a Trustee. And we set up priorities for dredging in our town. This priority list will be sent to the Public Works in Yaphank. They're the people who do the dredging and I'd like to read through the list for the record. We have priority #1, #2 and #3. #1 being the highest priority. East Creek is #1, Corey Creek #1, Little Creek #1, Wickhams Creek #I, New Suffolk Boat Ramp #1, and Deep Hole Creek. Deep Hole Creek is one which we're having a little trouble with for the simple reason that it doesn't quite meet the standards that the County has put forth for maintenance dredging. We hope to meet with Legislator Blass and hopefully change that, but this is a real problem for us and we're hoping to find a solution to getting Deep Hole dredged this year. Priority #2 would be Budds Pond and some of you might know it as Mill Creek. This is where the fishing stations are. Gull Pond is a #2, Cedar Beach is a #2, and Goldsmiths Inlet is a ~2. A #3 priority would be Halls Creek and that is the end of our list and we had no action, in other words of areas that didn't meet it would be Downs Creek, Jockey Creek, James Creek and Goose Creek, and that's my report. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jean? COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, on the 22nd we had a Housing Advisory meeting, and the results of some of the committee's work, as far as guidelines, was reviewed by this Board this morning in the work session. Also on the 23rd the Wacje and Policy Committee had a short meeting to review the present policy file, of which I believe we have three policies in the Town. Also I had the pleasure to attend the dedication of the parking area in Mattituck, dedicated to Ray Dean. I'd like to thank the Mattituck Chamber of Commerce for a lovely luncheon which was provided us after the dedication. We've also been busy as Town Board members. On the 25th I flew to Fishers Island for a Master Plan informational meeting, and we've had two more on the mainland, Mattituck and Orient. As Jay mentioned, in between this we had a session on compostin~t, the digester. Also Councilman Penny reported on the Highway meeting, which I attended on the 31st. I attended a meeting last night which ! would like to report to you on more fully, and it was--there were twelve community persons attending, and the purpose for the meeting was to begin'discussing or to put into place a Southold Town Hospice Services. This is a service to both the patient and the family for the terminally ill and it's usua.l.l¥ done within the last six months of life. This group of people have been very interested in starting a hospice in Southold Town. They did ask if they could come in and do a presentation to the Town Board and ! have put them on the agenda and scheduled them for the Work Session on the 25th at 10:30. Alice Albertson and Linda Graham will be doing a presentation because they are in need of start-up funds. Vee McKeighan, who does a great many of our health services from the Nutrition Center, was in attendance, and she will also be here for their presentation. It's a service that does fill a very strong need and it does fit to interlock some of the services that the Town now supports. Thank you, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Ray? JUSTICE EDWARDS: A couple of things, Frank. Number one, the research/photograph vessel The Sea Level, was out taking pictures of the barge--the sunken oil barge off of Fishers Island, and they spent about a week, week and a half' on the scene. The only time they could dive with a diving bell out there to take pictures was on the slack tide, which only happens four times a day, and they were out there and they did get pictures of the barge. They left the scene last Friday. They did find some cracks in the bow section which is the air compartment of the barge, not the cargo compartment, and they're supposed to have the Coast Guard and the DEP is supposed to have some reports out the end of this week. Secondly, the Fishers Island Ferry District is getting some appraisals of some property in New London that the Town of Southold owns, and it's about six or eight acres, including raparian rights, that's worth quite a bit of money right down there on the shoreline of the City of New London, and the City of New London is trying to do some swapping for the waterfront property, and it's about 800 feet, I believe, of waterfront that the Town of Southold, through the Ferry District, owns. And also on Saturday, the 25th of January, I was very glad to see some of my fellow Councilpeople and the Planning Board fly over in the horrendous weather we had that Saturday, for our hamlet meeting of Fishers Island regarding the Master Plan, and also a special commendation to Dave Spohn who flew over there on his own iust to be there at the meeting to offer any assistance or helping the people get back to Long Island if they had to. So it's appreciated by all of the 300 or so residents on Fishers Island. Thank you, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. As you could see the Town Board has been quite busy and one of the things that is probably most rewarding is that we are winding down, hopefully, on the Master Plan and we will have a plan up for a public hearing very shortly.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I might comment on this. Frank is very sick and he asked not to be extended. He was appointed five years ago by Bill Pell and just for the record, he probably had the best attendance of anybody on the Board of Commissioners, and he was the one responsible for getting the Commissioners to attend meetings again and to do the job that this was set up. It's a very important post. It set policies in county parks and it's very important and Frank was very instrumental in bringing back a revision of these people doing the job that they were appointed to do.

COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: SUPERVISOR MURPHY: COUNCILMAN PENNY: SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Nothing. Nothing, Frank. George? Nothing. Nothing further with me. Thank you. I would like to ask anyone in the meeting room if they would like to address the Town Board? Frank? FRANK CARLIN, Laurel: i'm glad there's not many people here tonight because what I have to say isn't too pleasant and this subject is animals, which is one I'm very sensitive in, because I had one for 16 years and ! lost it two years ago. She had a brain tumor and outside of my wife i ;;'c~,;~;-have gave up anything I 298 FEBRUARY 4, 1986 had for that animal if we could have saved her, but it was impossible. There's several ways how ] can phase in to what I want to say tonight, but I'll just get on with it and you can go home. It's hard for me to believe that nobody on this Board cared about these animals. I want to tell you why. You know we needed these buildings over four years already and really what was done? Mrs. Cochran, I believe you mentioned in the media something like, well, let's don't more or less blame Rinky or Dinky, or Whatever you call him. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I believe his name is Mr. Dean. MR. CARLIN: Well, you call him Rinky. I call him Mr. Dean. him by. And then you said, let's blame us. Rinky Dean. That's what I know COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: That's where it starts and this is where the buck sro MR. CARLIN: Right. And in a practical way you're correct, but I believe the Board had good intentions in October to see winter was coming on and I believe that the intentions were right in what they did trying to get this building put up before winter. Here we go. Unfortunately the man you put in charge was a mistake. Now I see now that I could see that right away. How can you have a project two to three hundred feet away from the Supervisor,s office and not know what's going on. And this has been proved. The footing was put in wrong. The materials laying all over. It wasn't an oversight. It wasn't oversighted or managed. Pure neglect. Taxpayers money or whatever. These poor animals. They're put here like we are created they're created. Birds are created. That's nature. And they rely on us to look after them. And what do we do? We don't care. Ray Jacobs said in the media that given good weather he'll have the outside of the building completed and the concrete work done in a week, and I believe him, because right now I think we've got a good Supervisor here. He might come close to another Harold Price, because I'll be honest with you, a Democrat or Republican, doesn't matter to me. I call him up--whenever I call up Ray to do some- thing he'll do it for me. And you know something, the same pattern is being set up there in the building in Laurel Park. I can see it coming. The hole has been dug almost two months. The only thing is up there is the contractor's sign advertising his business. Now don't nobody on this Town Board tell me that you can't handle concrete in the wintertime. I don't buy it. There's ready-mix trucks roll by my house every day. There's chemicals they can put in. There's anti-freeze they can put in. I believe there's aluminum shim they can put in when it freezes the box won't expar~. to a point where they'll crack. ! don't buy that that you can't handle concrete in the wintertime. This was pure neglect and the man who's responsible should for it. In my job I handle a 28 million dollar airplane with two lives involved. If I don't get an airplane to fly, whatever happens I'm responsible for it. I have to answer for it and I feel the same way in this. Whoever was responsible, put in charge to see that that job was done, is responsible for it. There's no way out. What else can I say? Mr. Penny, it's unfortunate that you and Ray in October looked at the civic building, which is a good project. It's an important project. It should be there. Nothing against the building. You had an interest in looking at that building. Is the roof leaking? And 'that was fine. It's just unfortunate that you just couldn't walk acorss the road and look at this project here that was going the way it was going and have a little interest in it. It's unfortunate that that was so interested in that building in October, but' nobody even cared to see how it was going. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Might I remind you, Mr. Carlin, I was directed by the Town Board. I was not a member of the Town Board at that time. MR. CARLIN:' I'm not saying you was. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Well, I had nothing to do with the Town Board back in October. I was running for office. MR. CARLIN: But you still was with Ray Dean when he inspected the building and you looked the building over. COUNCILMAN PENNY: I don't see how that applies... MR. CARLIN: You were in it. COUNCILMAN PENNY: I don't see how that applies to the Dog Pound. MR. CARLIN Okay. Ray Dean then should have walked over there. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Well, what Ray Dean does and what I do, I mean, I would kindly ask you just not to pursue this any further. I started on this Town Board January 1st. I might remind you of that. MR. CARLIN: You had been there and you has worked with Ray Dean and you said, we're going to look into it, we're going to see about this. COUNCILMAN PENNY; I was requeSted~by;the SUpervisor and the Town Board to look at the Peconic Youth Center, which i . I was at no time asked or instructed or advised at any time to investigate this site at the Dog Pound. MR. CARLIN: I didn't say you was asked. I just said...l'm not asking you to do anything, but I see something out here..involvement...the people or whatever it is. You know it's very fortunate to have people that are interested in animals and I take my hat off to these people, men and women, who belong to the North Fork Animal Welfare League. It's good to see that we have people that are interested in animals in this Town, and I believe there's a lot of people that are interested in animals, but give them a chance. The building we have there now...let's face it.. for four years and then we decide in October or December let's rush it through, which again I know the Town Board, their intentions were right and the meanings were there trying to get this thing through before the wintertime is over. We know we're not going to make it now, but if this was done like other things we want to do, it would have been done. Like raises, increase in benefits. That's done, but something for these poor animals we have to go through this. Now, Mr. Penny, 1 have faith that you're going to do the job. I read an article in the paper and I know you're sincere and you looked into it and ! Know you're going to do the job, but I don't feel it should take to this time next year, because I want in the back of my mind say that l'm wrong when I say nobody cares. I want to be able to come back here before this ~time next year and say that I was wrong and you all care because the job is done. I don't want to have to come back here next year and say..this time and say I was wrong. You know you watch the Highway Depart- ments, not in Southold alone, but in Riverhead or anywhere..,we-call it show and tell. You ever watched six months before election? Ever watch it? Trucks all over the Town, signs being put in, sidewalks being put in, in the village or front of the supermarket where the people can see it. Parking spots being painted. What happens after election? It is like an hour after the Superbowl. The stadium is empty. But I think it's a disgrace that we can't give these animals..they have to suffer through this winter and probably some won't survive because it indicates nobody cares. If you cared the building would have been up before now. And one more thing, Mr. Penny. We are not building a Shoreham atomic plant here, we're building a building that's about 40 to 50 foot long, blocks. You know? You need an architect. We need all this, fine. You know? Oh, why don't I ask you. Where was the material purchased on this project? COUNCILMAN PENNY: To be very specific about this. The material that was purchased, was purchased by an outside contractor at that time. It did not go directly through the Town, and I believe the material was supplied by Southold Lumber, although I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm sure if you're as interested as you seem to be and not bent on trying to destroy something in public which we are trying to build up, I'm sure that you can check with the Town Clerk and she will verify when the bills come through. MR. CARLIN: I'm not trying to destroy anything in public. I'm just trying to get this thing moving and get it done. COUNCILMAN PENNY: I strongly suggest that you join the Animal Welfare League and help us in designing this building. You can do a lot more working behind the scenes than standing out here in public picking it apart. MR. CARLIN: I'm not picking it apart, I'm picking the facts apart that are true. It's nothing I'm creating here. It's there, l'm not dreaming things up. They're there and if you're man accept them. They're there. They're facts. They're there. Even if they didn't have rules anybody...even a highway man or supervisor would know the Town ordinance is 36 inches footing. You should know that. If you see it's not being done, stop it before it's even done. It wasn't even watched, it wasn't. even supervised. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Who are you referring to now? MR. CARLIN: The man who was in'charge of this project. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Well, who was in charge of it? MR. CARLIN: Ray Dean. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Well, I spoke to the Supervisor regarding this entire circumstance and he told me that everything was proceeding perfectly well and that's why I called the special meeting, so I don't think that you should be throwing the blame around because you're going to find that the blame is spread a little further than you think. MR. CARLIN: Well, if everything proceeded so well, how come this happened? How come we're on this condition? It's no use. That's all I have to say. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone else that would like to address the~Town Board ? DIANE BERGMANN: I'm just going to be very short, but I missed the last Town Board meeting ! noticed it's been asked that we do have a town airport meeting. I was just wondering if anything has been done on it and if so when? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, Diane, I heard on Friday, after many calls to .VIr. Kosz!owski, that they are satisfied with the plan and that we can go ahead and make arrangements. [ had planned to do it on Monday, to talk to our consultant down in Florida. I had a personal friend we had a funeral for. I wasn't here all day on Monday, so I was not able to do it. It will be done tomorrow and we'll have the meeting arrangements set up very shortly. MRS. BERGMANN: Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone else would like to address the ToWn Board? If not, I think a motion to adjourn is in order. Drive home safely. Be careful. Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Justice Edwards, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 9:00 P.M. Vot~ of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Penny, Councilwoman Cochran, Council- man Schondebare, Councilman Stoutenburclh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy.
