WORK SESSION

Councilman Paul Stoutenburgh, Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran, Councilman
George L. Penny IV, Councilman James A. Schondebare, Deputy Town Clerk
Elizabeth A. Neville, Town Attorney Robert W. Tasker, Superintendent of
Highways Raymond L. Jacobs.
9:00 A.M. - Martin Garrell, Chairman of the Conservation Advisory Council
gave an update report on the Council's activities.
9:20 A,M. Executive Administrator Victor Lessard met with the Board to
discuss the breakdown on the number of square yards for possible replacement
of carpetinq in Town Hall. He submitted four (4) possible plans, described as
Alternate Plans A, B,C, &D. Alternate Plan A was for the complete replacement
of all carpeting in the Town Hall, a maximum square yardage of-928 at a maximum
cost of $22,000.00 for the top grade commercial carpet, ,or a minimum cost of
$16,700 for the lower grade carpet. Alternate Plan B was for 628 square yards
which would only be for replacement of the wrinkled carpet areas. Alternate
Plan C would eliminate even more, namely the Building Department and Justice
Price's Office. Alternate Plan D would be a partial combination of plans B & C
with the addition of the downstairs areas. Councilman Penny questioned as to
whether or not this was in this year's budget. Supervisor Murphy stated that
it was not,however, he planned to take it out of surplus funds. Councilman
Stoutenburgh questioned as to whether or not the existing carpet could be
stretched and reglued. Councilwoman Cochran said that she did not think this
would be feasible because the backing has already been cracked. The Board
concurred that this would not be feasible and would be a great waste of dollars
on labor. Councilman Penny stated that he would like an opportunity to take
the plans around and inspect the condition of the carpeting in all of the rooms
in the Town-Hall before making any decision on this matter; Mr. Lessard also
discussed his recommendations on the hirinq of a buildinq inspector. He stated
that he would like to hire Thomas J. Fisher, effective October 16, 1986 (see
resolution no. 14). Mr. Lessard also informed the Board that he would like tb
hire a clerk-typist on a provisional basis for the Buildinq Department.
9:30 A.M. - Councilman Stoutenburgh informed the Board that the new part-
time road inspector does road inspections only. He will not do any paperwork
at all. This fact is creating a tremendous overload on the other part-time town
engineers. Victor Lessard stated that he asked for an update on a performance
bond three weeks ago, and hasn't heard anything due to their backload. Council-
man Penny suggested that the Board investigate all of the engineering services
being performed by the part-timers and think about the possibility of hiring a
full-time engineer in the years ahead. Superintendent of Highways Raymond
Jacobs added that the new part-time road inspector is very capable, but that
they do need him to do the paperwork also. The Board decided that the first
step to be taken will be to sit down and talk to Mr. Whitney. I_f he doesn't
want to do the full .job, the Board will have to advertise for resumes again.
9:40 A.M. - Supervisor Murphy stated the contractor for the Senior/
Youth Recreation Center has completed the job and is looking for some money.
The/ are asking to be paid 90% of their contract. C0/].ncilwoman Cochran stated
that there should be a hood over the cooking stove., Victor Lessard said that
he would Io0k in~o the matter.
9:45 A.M. Executive Administrator Victor Lessard advised the Board that
he has sent a building inspector out to investigate the alleged illegal occupancy
of a boathouse located at Gull Pond Lane, East Marion. To date, they have been
unable to establish that anyone is occupying the boathouse as a residence. Town
Attorney Tasker enlightened the Board on the background of the subject property.
Ori_ginally, this property was a spoil'.a.r.ea from the dredging of. Sterling Creek over
OCTOBER 1 8 7
twenty [20) years ago. Due to i!~"~t~'~nvi~Onmental condition of the property
the Suffolk County Health Department banned the use of the property f0'r residenti-
al dwelling use.at that time. The ow~ners of the property were granted permission
to moor a boat and erect a boathouse. The Suffolk County Health Department
recently ha~d a turn-around With new criteria. They have given Mr. Wisseman
approval for constrJction of a cesspool. Through the passing of years, the
ground has settled and become suitable for residential building. Mr. Lessard
stated that the people should be contacted and told either to vacate the premises
or legalize them by applying for the necessary permits.
9:55 A..~M.. - Superintendent of Highways Raymond L. Jacobs met with the
Boated to give an update on the Kenny's Beach erosion problem. He stated that
an additional 6 feet was recently lost. The worst damage is on the west end. He
requested permission to have the proeprty surveyed. A Mr. Boyle owns a 100 ft.
lot between the town parking lot and N~r. l-ockman's prop~erty which is continually
being undermined. The worst damage is down by this house. Mr. Jacobs also
requested that the Board pass a resolution to hire Howard Hat, cock as his part-
time Depuey. Superintendent of Highways on Fishers Island. (See Town Board
resolution no. 13.) Supervisor Murphy asked for Ray's opinion of the demonstra-
tion of the compactor ..... at the landfill by H.O. Penn Co. recently. Supt. Jacobs
replied that it was an innovative and necessary piece of equipment for the landfill.
Councilman Stoutenburgh questioned as to whether both the compactor and the
tub grinder were needed.. Supt. Jacobs stated that they definitely were both~-:
needed. Councilman Penny advised that Gary Loesch of H_M will be addressing
Z ~
the compactor in his!'if..i, nal report which we should be receiving during the middle
of October.
10:09 A.M. - Mr. Carl Vail, Sr. presented the Town Board with his plans for
a shellfish measurinq device qau.qe.which he proposed should be given out with
the:iss~Jance of all town shellfish permits. This proposed gauge__ would be approxi-
mately 3" x 5" in dimension and would have guides imprinted on it for measuri'ng
the minium legal size of clams, scallops, oysters, and crabs. The cost for manu~
facturing 5,000 of the gauge ~[~.$~045.~each would be $2,025.00. Mr. Vail offered
the following three (3) suggestions: (1) Raising the Resident Non-Commercial
Shellfish License to $3.50 to cover the cost of the gauge. Make it mandatory
that both the gauge and shellfish license be carried at all time while shellfishing.
(2) Issue new shellfish regulations so the Bay Constable .can issue fine tickets,
$5.00 for each undersized shellfish. (3) Revocation of shellfish license for not
returning the beach to original condition after digging shellfish. Restriction
against clamming under docks or filling in boat basins. The Board will take Mr.
Vail'-s suggestions under advisement and refer the matter of 'the shellfish gauge
to the Trustees for their recommendations. Mr. Vail also presented three (3)
letters of endorsement for his gauge from the~:Southold Baymens -Association.
The Southold-Peconic Civic Association; and the senior citizens group.
10:24 P.M. - Recreation Supervisor Susan Fossett presented the Town Board with
her draft of guidelines for the use of the Senior/Youth Recreation Center as previ-
ously requested by the Board. Councilwoman Cochran stated that in her opinion
an additional custodian is needed to care care of the center. Councilman Stoutenburg~
recommended a checklist to be set-up for closing up the building after use. This
was included in Mrs. Fossett's recommended guidelines. Councilman Penny advised?.
that Youth Program Counselor MaryAnn Fleischman is in need of a room for counsel-
ing serv.ces and suggested the conference room. A discussion was held on the use
of building for fund raisers. Mr.s...=.Fossett ~nformed the Board that the drapes are
tort.ed and asked if the Board wished to replace them. Councilwoman Cochran
suggested that she look into the possibility of the town supplying the material and
the senior citizen groups supplyif!g the labor to sew new drapes. Mrs. Fossett
also advised ihat some sort of a vestibule is needed outside of the back door and
that the front doors are falling apart. She suggested the possibility of replacing
the front doors with automatic closing doors. The Board requested that she look
into the cost of same. Councilwoman Cochran advised that she has drawn up a
tentative job description to coordinate the opening and closing of the building and
maintena nce.
10:55 A.M. - Valentine Stype, Jr. Of Val Stype & Sons met with the Town Board
regarding the non-renewal of the town's public official liability insurance coverage
policy by the National Casualty Company. Mr. Stype stated that in light of the
fact that five claims were presented in the last eiclht months, the insurance company
felt that this was an excessive amount and therefc~re~ will not renew the town's
policy as of November 17, 1986. Mr. Stype advised that he is submitting proposals
to other carriers in an attempt to obtain insurance for the town. The Board disputed
the insurance company's defense of the subject claims arguing that three (3) of them
were Article 78's which the town's own special attorneys defended, the insurance
company did not get involved at all. Town Attorney Robert Tasker suggested that
Mr. Stype check with the insurance company regarding these claims. Councilman
Schondebare suggested that the town file a complaint with the Commissioner of the
Insurance Department of the State of New York on the grounds that the Town is
being discriminated against. Mr. Stype informed the Board that the company would
provode an "Extended Discovery Period Policy" at a cost of $2,329.00; the fee for
which would be erased if it is found that the insurance company is at fault. The
check for this extended coverage may be presented up until 30 days after the expira-
tion. But again, Mr. Stype advised that he was not certain that the company would
cover claims that might occur after the expiration of the policy. The Board requested
that Mr. Stype present them with a full claims experience report which w~uld provide
a full listing of all claims and the actual dollar amount paid out on them. Mr. Stype
will appear before the Board at the next regular work session to be held on October
21, 1986 and will present the entire insurance package~with the cost of renewals
for next year and also umbrella 'policy information.
11:32 A.M. - Councilman Stoutenburgh stated that the Water Advisory Committee ~
recently held a lengthly meeting and asked the question, "just what does the ~i ·
Town Board expect the Water Advisory Committee to do? Do they want them to iljJ
continue to'- ~ork on the water filter education pro.qram?" The Water Advisory
Committee wants to make sure that the water planning person to be hired is a
capable person. The Water Advisory Committee has not had a new charge of
duties since 1983. Councilman Penny advised that had a very lengthl¥ discussion
on the water filtration system. Mr. Penny stated that he would like to see some
standards established as a national guideline by the EPA on the water filters.
Joseph Baier of the Suffolk County Health Department has stated that the town
should continue to lobby the federal government to certify the filters. This would
in no way conflict with the current policy of the board to have The Suffolk County
Water Authority manage the systems in the new subdivisions. The water filters
are definitely a viable tool for serving areas where public water ~systems are not
available. Councilmen Stoutenburgh and Penny will sit down with the Water Advisory
Committee to review their charge of duties and discuss the Water Planning Director
position and proposed information flier. Frank Bear and Ruth Oliva of the North
Fork Environmental Council presented a duty statement for the water director which
they asked by given to Dave Emilita. --
EXECUTIVE SESSION

early morning hour fishermen and the issuance of daily beach permits. ~his
matter will be discussed again in early March of next year.

1:10 P.M. -Recess for lunch.
2:30 P.M. - Work Session Reconvened . The Board discussed the proposed Master

there were at least two errors on the map. The business classifications were left
off two gas stations, one at Orient and the other at Cutchogue(corner of Main Road
and Eugene's Road). The question as raised as to whether the maps could be
corrected without starting the entire SEQR process again. Town Attorney Tasker
stated that he thinks that we could send off the changes with the explanation that
it was an oversight, an administrative error. Justice Edwards added that there
might be an area on Fishers Island that might have to be amended.
2:40 P.M~ - For Discussion Items: (1) Approval of bond amount for Harbor View
at Mattituck was discussed. Councilman Penny stated that the Suffolk County Water
Authority builds the water system, not the developer. The town doesn't need to
bond the water system. The water authority requires the developer to pay them in
advance for the construction of the water system. (See resolution no. 17).
(2) The Boad discussed the possibility of raising the fee for a Resident Parkin~l
Permit fron $2.00 to $5.00 effective January 1, 1987. The majority of the Board was
not in favor of it. Supervisor Murphy and Councilman Stoutenburgh were in favo~
of raising the fee, the other Board members were not. (3) Proposed hearing on
properties to be. accepted into the Southold Town Landmarks was discussed. The
Board set November 18, 1986 as the hearing date. (see resolution no. 18.)

in our payroll as early as possible, on or before October 9th. (8) Letter from the
Southold Town Baymen's Association regarding the scallop seed transplant grown
in Montauk Lake was read. The Board directed that no response be made. '~

in Southold Town in the very near future. I would like to ask our Councilwoman
Jean Cochran who has worked so very hard with C.A.S.T. and other agencies to

community to try to combat this problem. We are all aware that we do have this
problem. I think this is one of the few times that I have seen a group that is
beginning to accomplish and is going to be successful. I am very proud of-you,
I really am. Also, we have some of your pencils, which I didn't know that you
had with you. Would you like to present one pencil to each member of the Town

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Again, thank you very much Jean. A~d thank~.~you
to your organization C.A.S.T. for doing so much for the youth, in particular,
of Southold Town. Hopefully, we will not have more of this accidents happen.
The next one is in a little different vein. it is to proclaim the seventy-fifth
(75th) Anniversary of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America.
We have Phyllis Kandall, who is representing the organization. I would like to
say that the jewish community has contributed an awful lot to the east end
history over the many many years. It's':~probably one of the dominant factors
in the development of the east end, in particular, the fishing industry over
the years. It's very important, and it's my honor really, to welcome Phyllis
here.' This is going to be done in each town. Phyllis, I'd like to read the
proclamation for you.

WHEREAS, Hadassah, the Women,s Zionist Organization of America, founded on

the month of October 1986 as HADASSAH MONTH in the Town of Southold, to enable

man Schondebare, Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Would you like to make a few comments?
PHYLLIS KANDALL: Thank you, Frank. I would. I would like to. We have
many members throughout the United States. Our 333,000 members who are not
jewish. We all work together, those are the women. We have associate members
of over 33,000 men. We all work together in the United States and Israel for a
common goal, for the programs of betterment in education and youth, geriatics.
We go from one extreme to the other, as far as age is concerned. Those who are
in need of rehabilitation, receive the...benefits of the-medical research at Hadassah
Hospital. Many wonderful things h~ve happened, many miracles have occured.
We are all a part of it. It's not ecumenical, or what am I thinking of. I think
you all know what I mean, but, it's a community project throughout the world
and it benefits everyone. I thank you for recognizing us. We are part of the
east end, I am president of the Eastern L.I. Chapter. Our membership comprises
Orient to Wading River and Sag Harbor on the South Fork to Mastic. We have
another chapter out in the Hamptons. But, we have over 250 members and we

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving on to the first item on the agenda, our reports,
I'd like to remind everyone that these reports are on file in the Town Clerk's
Office. Some of them really do make very interesting reading. I'd like to suggest
that anyone who cares to stop in and read the reports. In particular, the
Building and the Town Clerk's reports to see of the acticity that is happening
in Southoid Town.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I would like now to ask the Councilmen to make any
special reports, sf~arting on my right with George Penny.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: On the 24th we met in Orient at the Pocquatuck Hall
concerning the critical environmental area designation of Hallock's Bay. There
was a meeting set-up between the Town Board members, members of the community,
and landowners. It turned out to be a very pr.,oductive work session. I am sure
that Paul will probably go into it more. On the 25th, I was involved in P.B.A.
negotiations. On the 29th, we had a water information meeting here are the Town
Hall. There was an excellent turnout from the community. The representatives
from the Suffolk County Water Authority were here, Bob Villa from the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services, and Dr. Lee Koppelman from the Suffolk
County Department of Planning. We again, had a very good meeting. I hope
that everyone here was able to attend. On the 2nd we visited the dump, the
landfill, excuse me. Oti the l~t;~', we ~eceived the tentative budget from the
Supervisor. On the 2nd we intereview for the position of building inspector
and last night on the 6th, I attended the water advisory. Paul Stoutenburgh
is the chairman, I am sure he will report on that. The Dog Pound bids are
out in the papers. There was a delay due to a misprint, so now the dog pound
bids are not due in now until the 23rd. We are hopeful, right now that there is
at least two local contractors that will be bidding the project. The Peconic Center,
as I last saw it was about 60% repainted. The walls were really looking beautiful.
The place has really shaped up and I am sure that in the very near future, it
will be announced publicly that the building is open. It was a long time in coming,
and I am glad to see that we finally wrapped it up. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Nothing that George hasn't already mentioned.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes; I'I1 elaborate a little bit on our September 24th
meeting with the Hallock's Bay landowners. That was what the meeting was called
for. Expressly to meet with the landowners. Of course, in the audience, we had
about 52 of them there, and there were other people also. community people. It
was agreed that we would wait fo~ any further meeting until after the master plan
was adopted. Hopefully, this might even encourage us to move along a little bit
on this. We also, had a general feeling that we could incorporate into perhaps the
Trustees domain, the concepts of the critical environmental area in the sense that,
they could ask for an environmental assessment forn~ from anyone buidling below
the 7 ft. contour line which will be established in the master plan. If after examin~
lng that they could say it will be negative or positive, it was one that they thought
needed further inqiury, then they could ask for an environmental impact statement.
That seemed to satisfy the majority fo the people. The legal part of it and how we
will go about it, we thought we would sit down with Town Attorney, and George
and I, and come back to these people at a later date. As I say after the Master
Plan has been adopted. Some of the people that attended: Lloyd Terry, John Tuthill,
Ed Latham, Dan Latham, Frank:~Ouilotta, Dr. Samuels, and Reg Tuthill just to
name a few of the people. I also attended the water information 'meeting-that
George has just spoken about. I attended an interview of building inspectors
of which we are acting on one tonight. Mr. Fisher,seems to be a very capable
person. Hopefully, he is going to help our building department out. I was also
at the budget meting when Frank gave us the packet of the 1987 budget. I was
also up at the landfill to see the demonstration of the compactor. A most impressive
piece of machinery. It did a terrific job on packing down the garbage. Hopefully,
this will keep the papers and so on from blowing, if we decide to go into one. It
had the additional part that I like, it compacted metal. If any of you have been up
to our landfill and seen the great heaps of white metal Which are the refrigerators
and washing machines. These are basically a bubble of metal. This thing would
192
OCTOBER 7, 1986
literal'l¥ just flatten it out. Therefore, you could get a lot more on a truck and
therefore make it a little more economical for the person to haul it, and hopefully
that would be one of our ways of getting rid of the material, i also was at a water
advisory meeting the other night which George also spoke about. In his words, we
laid our cards on the table. We are going ~o come back at a later date, George and
! with some direct ideas of what we want this very important group of people to do.
We think there is a place for a filtering system in our community. It's definitely a
place where public water will never get to. It's a shame that we don't address it,
and we are going to address it, and we are going to come with some sort of report.
One last bit of good information which we don't get too many. We participated, as
you all know,in a STOP Program. I don't know whether any of you peop'~e know it
or not, but we got a little money from the state. Believe it or not, a check of
$762.00 from the Cooperative Extension Service to help us along in the payment o~
our bills, which is kind of nice to see. Our bill, by the way, ran in the neighb~i/ill
hood of ~$7, 000. 00 plus. But we think it's a well worthwhile cost because we are L...J
taking away many of the pesticides, oils, paints, toxic materials that would go into
our groundwater and we would only pay for it in the long run later on down the
line.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I think everything has been pretty much covered.
Some of the things I have been working for was reported on in the work session,
so I won't take the time to reiterate that. ~lhank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I won't go on about the meetings. But, I was out in Orient
on the 24th, the 25th down at Stony Brook with the DEC which was an extremely
informative meeting on our municipal solid waste. I think more so, the meeting on
the 29th with Dr. Koppelman and the other people from the Health Department on
the water was very very informative. I received a call the later part of last week
from the Department of Environmental Protection up in Albany. "~ey are seeking
permission to come down to Fishers Island to our little fresh water pond that we
have called Middle Farm Pond and they are going to do an acid rain study on this
one particular pond. They are doing this throughout New York State. The sample
of water that they take, they have to get back to Albany, and then it has to be
in Oregon within 24 hours where they do the testing. So, this is coming up the
later part of October, two days in October and one day in November, where they
are going to be coming in nd setting down on the pond and taking their~'s~..ples
and ~-ushing it back to Albany and back out to Oregon. I will probably !i~!~'~ mor~~
information on that at the beginning of the meeting in November. But, that's just
to let the board members know and the people, just in case there is anything in
the paper about it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. I'd just like to add a little and to
thank Jean really for doing an excellent job on, she didn't mention it, but, on
identifying surplus properties in the town. She and Jim~McMahon, and Ray Jacobs
reviewed.~many many parcels and are in the process of finalizing a very fine report.
It looks like we have many properties, potential properties that we could either use
for affordable housing, some very 'valuable properties that are of no value to the
Town government, per say, at the present time that we might be able to sell and
in turn buy other properties that we can develop as future holdings for the town.
It has a great potential and I'd like to thank you, Jean, you should have mentioned
it.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: But, the only other comment that I have is the meeting
Ray mentioned with the DEC. It was two weeks ago Thursday. It was probably
one of the most important meetings and starting that this town is going to embark
on. As everyone reads in the paper and seeing-the panic that is hitting Nassau
and Suffolk County on garbage and landfills, I was very happy to see that we w~
able to have five of our '~wn Board members attend the meeting. It was most
productive and I think most rewarding. I think it is a start of a solution for not~
only $outhold Town, but many small towns in New York State. We will be hearing
more about it in the future and this is an ongoing program because I'll guarantee
you, we have never seen the cost of local government rise so fast as you will see
'with landfills, if_we are not properly prepared. You just have to Kook to Islip,
Huntington, Oyster Bay, Hempstead Towns and the costs are astronomical. It
would absolutely break us. We don't have the tax base to ever, ever go into any
of these programs that these towns are going into mainly transporting garbage off
the Island, or going into incineration. We don~t have that luxury. We don't have
the money out here. Hopefully, we are on the right track that we will proceed
with, probably what will be a model system for the rest of the state to follow.
II. PUBLIC NOTICES
1. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Notice of
19 3
Complete Application by-~a~l~l~ Crocker to construct a one family dwelling,
deck, septic system; Dawn ~l~A~o~n, GreenPort. Written comments by
October 17, 1986.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District announcement of a
proposal to issue a State Program Regional General Permit, under section
10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1889 and Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act,. for the construction and use of rock-filled timber crib piers in waters
of the United Stated meeting the specifications and conditions of the permit.
Written comments by October 22, 1986.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I would just like in the very beginning to announce, if
it's really a public notice or not, but it's one that I think is very important.
The Greenport Housing Alliance is having a dinner dance on October 17, 1986
7:00 P.M. in Brasby's at $30.00 per person. Really C.A.S.T. and the Housing
Alliance should be supported because really these people are doing a fantastic
job to help promote affordable housing, in particular, arid to housing rehabilitation,
and to many other pFograms in Southold Town. I think it's imperative that everybod3
in the Town, if they can, support this organization. T~Hs is one way we could all go
out and say our thanks to the Housin9 Alliance for an excellent job, well done.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The third public notice is one that we have added on,
is an announcement from Raymond L. Jacobs, our Highway Superintendent.
3. Clean-up Week in Southold, the week of November 17th- 21st, 1986
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The schedule will be published in the local newspapers.
We ask everybody to please cooperate with the guidelines that Ray has put in.
III.COMMUNICATIONS:
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number three is communications, we have one letter.
1. From Mary Tannenbaum, who in her own admission that she has done a
fair share of complaining about various town services, but is now complimenting
the Highway Department in the Town for the excellent job they did. I personally
would like to thank Ray Jacobs for doing an excellent iob on eliminating problems
in many of these intersections. There's one down by Capt. Kidd's and Breakwater
Road, traditionally, it has been one of the worst in the Town and anyone who lives
around there, who wants to just ride down there, take a look and see just what a
little bit of savy, a little bit of money, little bit of blacktop could do to correct'a
very very serious situation I would also like to thank Ray Jacobs for a job very
well done.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
SUPERVISOR- MURPHY:
resolutions.
We have no public hearings, so we are going to move onto
V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I would like to remind everybody in the audience that you
may speak on any resolution, address the Town Board on any resolution that is
proposed tonight. I would ask that anyone who would like to comment to the Town
Board to hold off until after the meetinq, or until after the resolutions, at which
time anyone will be able to speak their-piece. At this time, we would like to ask
if anybody would like to address the Town Board on any of the proposed resolutions
that we are going to vote on tonight?
BILL BEHR: Thank you, Frank. My name is Bill Behr. I am representing the
Southold Economic Advisory Committee, as well as the Chamber of COmmerce for
Greenport-Southold. I would like to address my remarks to resolution number 1.
I also would like to commend the council for their work on finding properties that
could be used for affordable housing because resolution no. 1 involves itself in
affordable housin9. This resolution has been up several times, it's not new. We
seem to be voting on it every meeting for the last month and a half. I'd like to
remind the members of the council that the rate of inflation of buildings and housing
let me say, more specifically, is probably exceeding 10% per year. So, as a round
number, it wouldn't be pulled out of the air, is probably one percent per month.
If we keep this resolution here, long enough, we wili not have affordable housing.
We are not talkin9 about a proposal to the Town for housing at $75,000.00 per family.
If you keep that up for a year, it will be up to $82,000.00. I really feel that this
council should act very resolutely and resolve this thing as quickly as possible, so
that we will having housing for young people, as well as old people. Th~nk you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on any proposed resolution?

Starting on my left, Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just one little comment. This evening I bumped into-Ed
Latham down at the Soundview having dinner. I mentioned the fact to him that
the senior class on Fishers Island is looking for some pumpkins,:over there that
they can sell to add to their senior trip fund. There are no farms at all on the
Island, pumpkins are kind of a rarity over there. It so happened that I had my
pick-up truck over here this time to bring back some of your fine vegetables and
so forth. So, Eddie Latham said "come on down and help yourself", so there are
some good goblins left in the world. Thank you.

sided, and we had another meeting that was one-sided, I assume that everybody
