9:00 A.M. - Michael Zweig, member of the Southold Town Economic Advisory Committee,
met with the Board to discuss his proposal for a study of the grape and wine industry
on the North Fork, its future prospects and its impact on the local economic. Mr.
Zweig submitted a proposed budget of $16,390.00 to conduct the study this summer,
which includes a ten day trip to Napa Valley and the University of California at Davis,
the use of a research assistant graduate student, and technical consultant Larry Fuller-
Perrine, MS. Mr. Zweig outlined in detail the proposed scope of the study. The Board
advised Mr. Zweig that they had ever expended this sum of money on a study of this
type, and Mr. Zweig advised the Board that he had discussed his proposal with
Community Development Adminis[rator Jim McMahon who had indicated there are some
funds available. Mr. Zweig was asked to draw a proposal for possible funding, aside
from Town funds, and present it 'at the April 22nd Work Session.
9:45 A.M. - Doris_ Johnson and_J__ean Tiedke met with the Board to request an
of $2,500.00 for electrical work in home Mrs. Johnson owns on Kaplan Street, G~nFort,
and where she plans to provide a Single Parent Residence for unwed teenage
and their infants, where they would receive guidance and an opportunity to continue
their education; The Village of Greenport has appropriated $15,000.00 toward this
program. The Board agreed to provide the $2,500.00 appropriation from the Whole
Town Contingent account (see resolution No. 26).
10:00 A.M. - Mary Mooney-Getoff and Pat Combs, representatives of Host Homes
of the North Fork met with the Board to present their proposal for legalizing Bed
and Breakfast Homes and Guesthouses in the Town of Southoid. They reviewed
their proposal, pointing out that"when local motels are filled, there is still restaurant
seating and space in the stors for shopping. Lack of motel rooms should not limit
local merchants and restauranteurs from earing the dollars that could be spent by
potential overnight guests in local homes., Other communities have zoning regulations
that recognize the non-commercial character of bed and breakfast as an incidental and
secondary use of the home in a private residential area. The Board agreed the
concept should be considered by the Code Committee for incorporation in the proposed
updated zoning code as a special exception.
10:30 A.M. - For Discussion Items: (1) Request of David Markel for an allocation
of funds for the North East Stage presention this summer of "Mark Twain's:
Mississippi Mud". The request will be referred to Recreation Director Susan Fossett~
for ,research and a recommenation to the Board. (2) Memorandum from Szepatowski, ·
Associates, Inc. for amendments to Chapter 44 of the Code concerning Environmenla.~?
Impact Statement review fees. Town Attorney Tasker assured the Board the present
code provides for this. (3) Letter from East End Counseling Project, who have
submitted a proposal to the United Way of Long Island Special Allocations Grant
Program for $10,000 for a human services and substance abuse counselor, for a letter
of support and matching $10,000 grant from the Town to enable the services of a full-
time counselor. The Town presently has a counselor under their own grant, but will
send a letter of support. (4) Letter from Walter L. Smith, President of The Incorp-
orated Long Island Chapter, New York State Archaeological Association, to Planning
Board Chairman Bennett Orlowski, transmitting a resolution from their Board of
Trustees, urging that Fort Corchaug, located on the upland west of Downs Creek,
be designed on the Southold Town Master Plan and that steps be taken to prevent
accidental or purposeful destric~ion of this landmark. The Planning Board will be
asked to submit their recommendations on this request to the Town Board. .(5)
Letter from the New York State Supervisors' and County Legislators' Association
8, ,86 375
advising the Board that:~the Ue~v~Y~i';~C6mmi~i~ on (~able Televion has
proposed a rulemaking, the ultimate effect of which could be either: (1) the immediate
loss of two (maximum three) existing services on the Basic Cable Service; or (2) the
immediate forcing of two (maximum three) existing Basic Services into a higher priced
tier. The Board declined application on the request of the Association to adopt a
resolution of opposition. (6) Letter to Councilman Penny from Assemblyman Sawicki
apprising him of the current status' of pending legislation designed to protect and
preserve our surf-clam industry on Eastern Long Island, specifically in Long Island
Sound. (8-a.) Supervisor Murphy asked the Board if 'they would be willing to
accept the door mat for the Town Hall front entry, donated by Butt Lewis, which
contained the words: '!Southold, FJM", if the "FJM" were removed. The Boa;rd
agreed this would be acceptable. (8-b.) Letter from Executive Administrator
Lessard requesting a summer clerk to update the Assessor!s property record cards
to reflect decisions made by the various boards over the years~ thereby avoiding
the issuance of erroneous,permits and possible litigation. The Board felt rehiring
Suzanne Walden, a former-summer clerk, who is familiar with the Building Department
and Board of Appeals records, would resolve this problem. (9) Announcement of
the 16th Annual National Conference, Composting and Waste Recycling, to be held
in Baltimore, Maryland on April 30, May 1 and 2, 1986. ,('10) Letter from Greenport
Fire Chief Quarty requesting the Board to allocate $630..00: for the rental of a bus
to transport the Fire chiefs' Council to the New York State Fire chiefs' Council
meeting at the Concord on June 17, 1986. The Board members in,structed the
Supervisor to respond to Mr. Quarty that this would not be a legal expenditure
by the Town of Southold. (11) Receipt of the proposed agreemen~ between' the
Town, Village of Greenport and Town of Shelter Island whereby the Village and
and Town will accept scavenger waste from Shelter Island Town.

The Board directed Town Attorney Tasker to prepare a $45,000 bond resolution

the results of the final inspection of the Southold Scavenger Waste Plant. Most of
the DEC's criticisms are minor and can be resolved readily, with the exception of the
problem with the Greenport Village Sewer Treatment Plant's lagoon liner which must
be replaced. Final seeding of the Southold Plant cannot proceed until the deficiencies
have been .corrected. Town funding will be withheld until all of the problems have
been resolved. Mr. Loesch assured Mr. Yerman that the lagoon should be repaired
and ready within a month, and he will write a letter to the DEC, Albany, requesting
permission to put 5,000 gallons of waste into the Village usable lagoon so they may
continue operating the Southold Plant at 5,000 gallons a day. Other problems with
the hiring and training of personnel to operate the plant, by the Village, is being
corrected and they expect to have new personnel at the site within'the next two weeks.

the redecoration of his offices for the Board to review, revealing a current total of
$15,304.76. (During a discussion Of the bills at the end of the afternoon Work Session,

wallpaper and draperies - $1,881.00, all pertaining to the redecoration; that the
Supervisor had advised the Board on several occasions the cost would be between
$5,000 and $6,000. Supervisor Murphy agreed he should have spoken to the Board
before undertaking the project, but assured them the desks and lighting fixtures
which had been removed are being utilized elsewhere. Town Attorney Tasker advised
the Board that the entire project should have gone to bid, whereas the furnitQre
items and redecoration items each totalled over $5,000. The discussion concluded
without a resolution to the problem.)---Councilman Penny inquired about the possibility
of waiving the building permit fee of $553,00 for the construction of a new building
for the Mattituck Youth Club. Supervisor Murphy will ask Executive Administrator
Lessard what the policy of the Building Department has been with respect to non-
profit organizations.---Councilman Stoutenburgh advised that Heather Cusack, member

for labor- $56,502.00, and materials- $49,431.00, as prepared by McGraW-Hill,
for the new Dog Pound at Peconic.;. For the purpose of bonding, Mr.~ Strang
suggested the inclusion of a 10% contingency fee, and 8% for professional services,
for a total bond of $125,000.00. A straw vote was taken and, with the exception
of Councilman Schondebare, the Board voted to authorize Town Attorney Tasker
to approve the sum of $125,00 as a preliminary estimate of the maximum cost of
the construction, authorize'Garrett Strang to proceed to prepare detailed plans,
specifications and drawings for construction, and authorize Town Attorney Tasker
to cause a bond resolution in'the amoqr~t of $12.~,000 to he prepared for the ne×t
Board meeting on April 22nd (see 'reS~t~'ti0n nO'. 22). Mr. Ted Bruce, a Director

in attendance: Water Advisory Committee members James Monsell, Valerie Scopaz, Robert
Villa, Ruth Oliva and Frank Bear, as well as former member and Health Department
employee Martin Trent. Councilman Penny; who requested this meeting due to what
he found to, be deficiencies in the report, reviewed the ERM-Northeast Scope of
Services as they pertained to the final report. Mr. DiFilippi responded to the
points raised by Councilman Penny, pointing out that on several items they could
not produce the information on specific filters to make a formal recommendation to
the Town Board. He urged the ToWn Board to create a water treatment district,
stating the law provides for this--although the Town Attorney disagrees on the
procedure. Mr. Baler addressed the capabilities of the individual filters and the
fact they have_not been in use over a long enough period of time to determine
which ones were superior. Mr. Bill Gremler, a water treatment dealer in the Town
of Southold for the past eleven years, spoke from the audience, stating that his
company has been installing filters since he has been in business, and in the
preparation of the ERM report no one came to him for information. He is authorized
to take water samples, and the H2M laboratory conducts the analysis. Now that the
final ERM report has been submitted it is up to the Town Board to make a final
determination Of direction for the Town.

I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving on to the first item on your agenda are Reports.
These reports are all on file in the Town Clerk's Office.
1. Supervisor's monthly budget report - March 1986.
2. Town Clerk's monthly report - March 1986.
3. Southold Recreation Department's Sports Equipment Purchase Report.
4. Southold Town Dog Shelter's monthly report - March 1986..
5. Szepatowski Associates, Inc. progress report - March 1986.
6. Councilmen's Reports. I would like to ask the Councilmen, starting on
my right with George Penny.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Boy, this was a light-one. On 4/3/86 I attended a meeting
with the Economic Advisory Committee and there was a lot of discussion regarding
the wine industry. There's been a recommendation that's coming to us from the
Economic Advisory Committee that we participate in a study, and the guest speaker
that night was Bob Anrig from North Fork Bank and it was very, very informative.
We also met on the 4th, I attended a meeting of the Code Committee and it was on
a lot of the same subjects, but somebody else, the Chairman will report on that.
Thank you..
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, likewise we had the Code Committee meeting
and basically we got tied up again with the vineyards as to what to allow the vine-
yards to do and what not to allow the vineyards to do. As some of you may or
may not know, their concept is to go into restaurants, maybe some motels, to have
quite a big affair on their 'vineyards to bring out the tourists. Questions have been
raised as to whether or not they should be allowed to do something in'an agricultural
area that the farmers are not able to do in an agricultural area. Questions are
raised as to whether or not we should have a special vineyard code to allow them
to do i't or not. We received a proposal from one of the Economic Advisory Commitee
people to do a study--a professor at the University at Stony Br0ok~-and he's offered
to do a study for the Town with regards to vineyards, their presen~ position and
the prospects of vineyards for the future and ho~v vineyards may a~lv~rsely or
favorably affect the ToWn of Southold. The price tag is someWhere in the area of
$16,000 to do ~this'study. He presented it to the Code Committee and ~hen he
presented it here again today to the Town Board as a Whole, and it"s something
that the Town is taking into consideration at the presen~ time. Basically we're
still stuck with the vineyards. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes, it's getting that time when we have to start
think about our beaches. Ray Jacobs asked the Parks and Beaches Committee to-
stop in and look at the beaches up along the Sound. And we were up at Kenneys
Beach and if any of you have not been along that area, you ought to travel up
there to see just what erosion has happened to our parking lot and therefore our
swimming beach there. We're going to meet this Friday at 8:00 o'clock in the
morning and try to determine just what to do about that very devastated area.
We have a problem in the sense that there are some hazardous rocks or material
that has been--rubble I guess you would call its-and it's been put there, which
really precludes swimming on that area of the beach unless it's covered over some
how. So some how we're going to have to come up with a policy, so anybody who's
interested in that Kenneys Beach area should possibly want to sit in and listen to
what we have to say, right here in Town Hall this Friday at 8:00 o'clock. Also
I had the privilege of traveling with the representatives from the County who are
asking to have our creeks maintenance dredged we must provide certain'facilities
for parked cars and a ramp of some sort so that the public will have more access
to these creeks, and our Highway Superintendent took the job and corrected the
problems we had and we visited every one of our creeks. We visited West Creek,
Eugenes Creek, Little Creek, Corey Creek, and Gagens Landing and came up with
a hundred percent compliance with the County's request and therefore we will'have
maintenance dredging in our creeks. The only one that did not meet with the
qualifications was Deep Hole Creek, which is in Mattituck, which we have yet been
able to find an access or a place that we could get a ramp or some sort of access
to the creek.~- That's our one real problem. Otherwise we look like we're in good
shape for dreding this coming year. Frank, that's it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul~ Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Nothing at this time, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Judge Edwards?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: To begin with we're looking forward on Fishers Island to
the activity surrounding the raisiBg of the E-24 barge out there, and I hope
that at the next meeting I might have a little more i~formation on it 'as to what
they're doing in the beginning. It's not going to really get into project until
the beginning of May, but I think by the next meeting they might have started
to stage some equipment on Fishers Island which they're planning to do. Secondly,
I was talking to the Highway Superintendent this afternoon and he's going over to
the Island and finally after many years of deliberations, discussion and heel dragging,
we're going to dig into Avenue B over there and do the drainage on it. And last
but not least, today we had a nice presentation on Bed and Breakfast programs and
I can say that it's going to affect us on Fishers Island as well as the people here
in Southold, and perhaps we can come up with a program that would be acceptable
by all. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. I have a couple of announcements. One,
the trees finally did arrive yesterday afternoon. They will:be handed out to those
people who sent reservations in first, between 8:00 and 10:00 at the Highway Depart-
ment on Saturday. After that anyone who is interested in planting trees or putting
them in someone else's property should come down after 10:00 o'clock. The trees are
very nice. There's a little over a thousand of them, and it should go along way
towards~replacing some of the tremendous damage that we did have. I attended a
conference put on by the New York Telephone Company for the East End Supervisors
on the fiberoptics rebuild of the whole New York Telephone systems. It seems by
1989 the entire east end will be completely in this system. We're probably the only
380
APRIL 8, 1986
part of the Long Island metropolitan area that will be a hundred percent at this time.
I'd also like to announce that throught he efforts of myself and John Sheridan of the
Long Island State Park Commission, we do have a definite commitment from the State
to purchase the Orient Point property. The State Park Commission is putting up half
the money, which is a little over a million d011ars, and if the County matches it and
Mr. Schick, the owner agrees to the price, it will' be purchased and it will be added
to Long Island State Park Commission property in'Orient. The water machine is
finally operating in Greenport, that we gave them many months ago when our Senior/
Youth Center was closed. They had Some problems in getting it working. It is
working and in operational order now and water is dispenses on Moores [.ane. I
also met on a very importa0t program with a John Falls. Jim McMahon and representati
of Greenport ¥illage, Gall 'Horton, Bill'Gilloley, and with representatives of the
Diocese Human Development pa~t of their program, and one of the projects we're
looking into is the conversion of the Greenport--St. Agnes School, into apartments
for:the e~derly. One of the prop0sais-~-~.,e had an architect out--~they W'e~e out
ThurSday and l~hey came out ag~in'qn~ Monday. and Showed an aWful lot of interest
in'it. -~here iS a tremendous Potential' for funding through HUD this type of program.
What we're trying to do is to provide affordable apartments for the elderly. They'll
be two to'a classroom. Mo~:e than likel¥ we'll be ~ble to possibly build a second
story on to St. Agnes, which would i~r~}vide an equal number of apartments, convert
the downstairs, and quite probably build a new kitchen four our NutritiOn Program~
our Meals On Wheels, our Senior Day Care and this program. It has great potential
and I really want to publicly thank the officials of Greenport, in particular Gall
Horton and Bill Gill01ey, and Southold Town and the members from the Diocese.
And they also have the expertise to assist us in developing other church properties
or Town properties for affordable housing and it has a great potential for us. These
people know how to do it 'and know how to get the guarantees and know how to
get the funding for it. That's all I have to report.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Now I guess that is the end of our prepared and added-on
agenda. Does any Councilman like to have any further comments? Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just one thing. I'm sorry all the people left and there's
just the press, it's regarding the payment of the bills,. Four years a§o when I
took office in the Town of Southold 'here the Councilmen had a nice little room
downstairs f had a desk, a typewriter where I could do a lot of typing that I
do do over here r and a place where I coulc~ keep my papers and so forth, ~and
now that's gone, and then the Supervisor is spending $16,000 to renovate his
office and that's the reason we're holding off the payment of these bills. It
definitely was not authorized and I think it's a disgrace that we don't have more
room in the Town Hall. If we have to put an addition on we'll do it, but we
should--I think the Councilpeople should have a room of their own in the Town
Hall. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean? (Nothing, thank you, Frank.) Paul? (Nothing.)
Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes. I would'reintroduce maybe two weeks from
today, my prior resolution which I requested that everyone who address the Town
Board at a public meeting have fifteen minutes to present their position and five
minutes to rebut, and if 'they can't get ~t done within that period of time then
they don't belong standing up there, and maybe this evenin~ you people have
learned a lesson, I hope, and will pass that the next time around, since we did
spend an hour and a half listening to two people standing up there and have a
discussion between themselves, when Mr. Penny--it's beyond me why he can't
make a presentation on his own (Larry Penny-re: Sou~hport Development public
hearing). Unbelievable.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I think the public should have every opportunity
to say whatever they have to say, no matter what the length of time is. If we
have to stay here until midnight becaus'e we now have night meetings, so be it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Thank Heaven we moved them from 3:00 o'clock, because
it would have been another four and a half ours this could have gone on. No,
I'd just like to say that I want to reiterate the vote of thanks that we gave to
the Housing Advisory Committee. They put in a year and a very productive
several months of this year and the end result we're working on, it :was in:
advertently omitted from our final work session today, and I would like to think
that it would probably be the first item on our work session' of next week. and
I would like to see it put on at 9:00 o'clock with at least an hour given so that
it isn't shuffled away somewhere in the course of the day. It still';is a matter
of number one priority and I think that we owe a little more time to it,~ and rather
than see us run short of time, if we put it on at 9:00 o'clock for the beginning
of the day I think we have enough people here who could given an idea one way
or another. If we could do that I'd like to see it 'done so we can get this thing
wrapped up and in the works, because we lost two weeks. That's all.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone in the audience like to comment to the Board?
GEORGE KRISS: I am a resident of Southold and I want to thank Raymond Edwards
for his comments, because ! had in mind to address the Council to find out what
these bills were that were being held up. I couldn't understand why. They weren't
explained a little earlier, and I thank you very much for bringing it 'up. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to comment? (No response.) If not, a
motion to adiourn.
