Councilman Paul Stoutenburgh, Councilman James A. Schondebare, Councilwoman Jean
W. Cochran, .Councilman George L. Penny IV, Town Clerk Judith T. Terry, Town
Attorney Robert W. Tasker.
The Town Board met with Justice William H. Price, Jr. to discuss personnel matters.
WORK SESSION
9:40 A.M. - Heather Cusack, who has been contracted by the Town to conduct
a survey of drainage pipes and road runoff problem areas throughout the Town,
met with the Board to review her preliminary findings. She will~ be meeting with
the Town Trustees, the. Conservation Advisory Council 'and a representative of
the Town Board to draw up a priority list of the major problem areas and recommen~
tions for corrections to be incorporated in'her final report.
10:00 A.M. - John Hart and his ~client Richard Carr met with the Board to discuss
the comments and a letter submitt=ed to the Town Board by Joseph Onufrack, represent-
ing "Citizens Against Norris Downzoning Organization" at the Board's October 21st
meeting. Mr..Carr is ~the current owner of the "Norris" property located south of
New Suffolk Avenue, on the easterly side of Reeve Avenue (also known as Camp
Mineola Road), Mattituck. Mr. Cart has been meeting with the Planning Board
with respect to his proposal to construct approximately 95 Condominiums on the
parcel in question. Mr. Hart and Mr. Cart assured the Board that the environmental
questions of sewage, water and traffic 'impact are being addressed. Mr. Hart presented
his analysis of surrounding properties which-range from one-quarter to 1 acre per
dwelling. He stated the Carr proposal is'a logical planning extension. Mr. Carr
advised the Board that to date twenty-five percent of the inquiries for ..... occupancy of_.
the proposed condominiums have been from local residents. To answer the affordable
housing problem he stated he will donate the, value of fift~een lots to an affordable
housing fund. The point was made by Mr. Carr. that he started the Planning Board
process in August of ,1985. Councilman Stoutenburgh stressed that the density of
the area, as addressed by Mr. Hart, does not 'mean the Town must perpetuate this
density. Both Councilm~n Penny and Stoutenburgh requested access to the project
as well as site layout and water supply.
10:40 A.M. - Joseph Onufrak and Edward Siegmann, representing "CitiZens AgainSt
...... " ' ' ' '
Norr. s Downzonmg Organzzatlon met with the Board to express their.concern for
availability of water to the surrounding properties if the project goes forward. Thei~i
great concern is what this will'do to the community which is virtually a peninsula of
200 people. The would have no objection to the development of the property on two
acre lots.
11:05 A.M. - Architect Garrett Strang and Iow bidder for the kennel area of the
Dog Pound, Richard Saetta, General Contractor, met with the Board to discuss
Mr. Saetta's bid ($51~657.00), which did not contain'a bid bond or other items
required to be submitl~ed with the bid.. It was agreed the Board would waive
the bonds, etc. (see resolution no. 28), and cover those necessary provisions in
the contract. Mr. Saetta agreed to prepare the contract for review by Town
Attorney Tasker, providing an alternate for a new water heater, and another
alternate to revamp the electrical service, in the kenneal area. The Board will
review the proposed contract at their November 18th work session.
11:30 A.M. - G-ladys Csajko, '
, DIrecto~ of'th~ Dog Pound for the North Fork Animal
Welfare League, Inc. discussed a prion proposal which had been submitted to the
Board for conducting a dog enumeration throughout the Town. The Board agreed
that they would pay the League a fee of $2.50 per dog (see resolution no. 27~ for
this service. At the present, time the Town has a $2.50 local fee included in the
dog licensing fee and this revenue would be used to reimburse the League.
11:45 A.M. - Executive Administrator Victor Lessard and Randall J. Feinberg met
with the Board. to discuss Mr. Feinberg's agricultural property located on the south
side of Sound Avenue., Mattituck. Mr. Feinberg explained that the building had
~en used for 20 to 25 years as a potato grading station and he would like to continue
the present use of commercial agricolture. Town A~torney Tasker advised Mr. Feinberg
that he should make an application to the Board of Appeals for a variance for non-
agricultural commercial' pur~ses.
11:5_5 A.M. - Executive Administrator Lessard discussed the Howard M. Petersen
trailer renewal application with the Board. Building Inspectors~ Horton_and~ Fishe~
made an inspection of the trailer and site and found the trailer located in the proper
position, and water, electric'and sewer properly installed. However, they found a
iar~e.-wooden deck had been built' across the front of the trailer~ and a large wooden
screen approximately eight foot high to the north of the deck. A building permit
had not been obtained for the construction. The Board instructed Mr. Lessard to
meet with Mr. Petersen regarding the. violations and report back to the Board and
they will reconsider the renewal application.--At this 'time the Board discussed with
Mr. Lessard the application of Frank and Robert Klos for the location of a watchman
house trailer at their:auto body repair shop, Ted's Auto Body, at Peconic. This
property is zoned "B" {200 ft. from Route' 25) and "A". Mr. Lessard recommended
the proposed trailer be located within the "B" zone, parallel to the one-story block
body shop building, and the Board stated they would reconsider the application if
the applicants provided Suffolk County Health Department approval for well and
cesspool.--Also discussed With Mr. Lessard roof coating for the Senior/Youth Center.
Correspondence has been received from Pace Products, Inc. recommending Silverleaf
Roof Coating, Gils0nite Asphalt base, reinforced with non-wicking fiberglass,
silic0nized for penetration, with a built-in primer for one coat application.' This
proposal will be transmitted to Fairweather-Brown for review and recommendations.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
12:40 P.M. - The Board discussed possible acquisition of certain'parcels of property,'~
and the current status of PBA negotiations.
1:1)0 P.M. - Recess for lunch.
2:10 P.M. ~ The Work Session reconvened and the Board met with Ga.r¥ Loesch,
P.M., Holzmacher, McLendon & Murrell, P.C. to discuss his study of the need
for a compacting-tractor for the Southold Town Landfill at Cutchogue. His report
examined the advantages and disadvantages, and included a cost analysis. He
found four manufacturers of a machine which he concluded would extend the useful
life of landfill sites because they compact more refuse per cubic yard than other
methods of compaction; would reduce cover material requirements; minimize ~indblow
litter, minimize spontaneous combustion and the number of rodent and insect breed-
ing place; compact bulk materials prior to transport, tl~ereby decreasing the number
of required trips. The disadvantages would be initial: capital cost in comparison to
alternative machinery; and operating and maintenance costs in comparison to alternate
machinery. In developing a cost analysis based upon all the factors involved, over a
four year period Mr. Loesch estimates the Town would save approximately $280,000
by purchasing_the compactor-tractor.--Mr. Loesch further recommended strongly that
the Town purchase a scale for the Landfill'site, which is necessary to get a better
handle on what is coming into the disposal area in terms of brush and potential
recycables. Such a scale would cost approximately $145,000, which would a~so
include a scale house and data management program. 'A similar scale has recently
been completed in Southampton. The Board discussed with Mr. Loesch their proposed
trip to Tyler, 1-exas to investigage the Eweson Digestor which is in operation there.
George Desmarias of H2M will accompany the Board on this trip~ With respect to the
possible digestor project for the Landfill, Mr. Loesch recommended the Board begin
the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement and start the scoping
meetings on the DEIS, since there is a project 15 month time span between the start
of the process and a recommendation from H2M of the vendor. Mr. Loesch's recommende~
second alternative to a digestor would be waste disiillation, but there are certain risks,
and there are not enough plants on line to base a-comparison on.--The Board agreed
to advertise for bids for the purchase of the compactor-tractor (see resolutions no.
12 &13). Mr. Loesch was asked to submit a proposal for the installation of a scale
at the Landfill.
3:05 P.M. - Recess for a public hearing on the Preliminary 1987 Budget and the
proposed use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for 1987.
24 4:
NOVEMBER 6, 1986
3:30 P.M. - Work Session reconvened. For Discussion Items: (3) Letter from
Senior Account Clerk Joan Richter requesting that Account Clerk Betty Wells be
advanced to a higher job title, and Ortrud Hanusr part-time clerk receive an
increase in salary. This request will be addressed by the Labor Management
Committee. (5) Proposed creation of the position of Maintenance Mechanic IV -
Labor Management Committee. (6) Letter from Account Clerk Betty Wells request-
ing consideration for promotion to Principal Account Clerk with commensurate raise
in salary (Mrs. Wells is 'currently on the Civil Service list for PrinCipal Account
Clerk)- Labor Management Committee. ~7) Correspondence with relation to Historic
Preservation codes (East Hampton and Southampton), and from Southold Town Land-
mark Preservation Commission member Joy Bear transmitting a letter from Barbara
Van llew, Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiques, concerning the
demolition of the Hartranft house on Main Road, Southold, which was built circa
1757. Ms. Van Liew states in' her l~tter that the h~use was historic'and of
archaeological significance, therefore the NYS-SEQRA regulations require an
environmental impact statement to be prepared before any agency gives permission
for the site. The Southold Town Landmark Preservation Law does not make this
provision, and the Board will~.meet with the Landmark Preservation Commission at
their November 18th meeting to discuss the limitations of the Southold law. (9)
Request of CoUncilman Stoutenburgh that Cablevisi0n be made to install underground
lines in subdivisions, and comments by the Planning Board that LI~-CO requires a
fee for installation in'developments and reimburses the developer 60 ft. per house
when the house is put on line; NY Telephone requires a fee per house for installa-
tion and reimburses the entire fee, with interest, when each house is put on line.
They recommend that the Board renegotial~e the agreement with Cablevision, which
is not a necessity but a luxury. The current contract specifie~ that in the case
of new underground construction the town shall require the developer/property
owner to provide the placement of cable television facilities. £ablevision states
that similar prociedures were'implemented and are now working successfully within
Southampton Town and assured the Board they would help assist the developers
in the placement of the CATV facilitieS, but would need the Planning Board's help
in making it a mandatory requirement. (1'0) Councilman Stoutenburgh proposed
a ~urther resolution for the regular meeti~ng agenda (no. 30) requesting the Board
of Ethics to review the various Ethics Codes on the East End and that of Suffolk
County, and incorporate the best from these codes in Southold's code.
3:55 P.M. - W~er Advisory Committ'ee members Frank Bear, Ruth Oliva and Robert
Villa met with the Board to request authorization to create a program that would
provide a Water Resource Management Plan for the Town (see resolution no. 31).
The Board agreed to the proposal and suggested that a completion time of six
months from this date be inserted in the resolution.
4:20 P.M. - The Board reviewed the regular meeting agenda resolutions and conducted
the audit of the outstanding Vouchers.
5:25 P.M. - Assessor Scott Harris met with the Board to protest an error made
by The North Fork Bank & Trust Co. with respect to direct deposit of the payroll
checks for certain employees. The checks dated November 1st were not credited
to the 16 accounts in question until November 5th. The Board assured Mr. Harris
that this error was acknowledged by the bank and every effort will' be made .to
assure it does not happen again.
5:30 P.M. - Work Session adjourned.

NOVEMBER 6, 1986
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing at this time. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, I would like to report that in additibn to attending
budget meetinq~ that I had. the pleasure of traveling with Paul' and Frank last week
to Camden, New Jersey to view a recycling..plant. I would just like to share with you
some of the interesting points, one of which is Rhode Island and Massachusetts, they
are going to mandatory state-wide law on recycling. It was interesting to note that
the gentleman that owns this recycling plant in Camden, New Jersey--and his name
escapes me--
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Peter Carter.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Peter Carter--also owns a recycling plant in Groton, v~ ....
Connectituct, and it was~ interesting to note that the ConnecticLit plant receives
more glass than it does cans 'because of the deposit 'law. Jersey does not have a
five cent deposit law. Also, we met with these gentlemen and took a tour of the
plant and then we sat down and chatted about different things. But it was interest-
lng--they do have the markets as far as glass, paper, aluminum in that area. Part
of it was interesting in relation to that as the market grows there's' more and more
of a demand for this recycling products, and as the market grows the demand becomes
stronger for a higher quality, less paper involved with the crushed glass, and of
course they do the glass separation. There was a great big'trailer truck that was
interesting and we heard this "plunk", "plunk", "plunk" and there's like a big funnel
hose and ithe aluminum cans are being crushed and then they're shot into the back
of this great big Reynolds truck. The gentleman said that a fact to consider if you
go into a recycling program is 'the cost--you figure the cost of getting rid of the
garbage against the cost of what the recycling--what expense the recycling would
be. He said originally when recycling started it was viewed as a conservation type
concept, but the concept now that recycling is used for is to get rid~of garbage,
period. Also mentioned was that Claire-Rose, who is a beverage dealer, Budwiser
Beer, I believe, in the Patchogue area, has built a recycling plant a'nd the engineer
from Islip, I believe it was that was with us, said that this was a worthwhile plant
to go visit, so I would like to take that little trip some day. Also as far as bottles
and cans filling your landfill, he said~the way to compute that, to give you a general
idea of what's being deposited there, would be to multiple the population times 100 ~
pounds a year and this is the capacity of cans and bottles that are going to your
landfill that could be reduction as far as a recycling program. Also I had the ~
opportunity to attend--Mattituck had a Superintendent's Conference Day under the
auspice of the Mattituck-Cutchogue School and the topic was "Youth in"Crisis'', and
that was held this past Tuesday, and the keynote speaker was a woman by ~he name
of Sadie Hoffstein, who is the E×ecutive Director of Mental Health from Nassau County.
She was an excellent, excellent speaker and I would just take a moment to sh~re with
you some of what she sees as some of the problems facing our young people today.
We have many societal problems that .our young people today are having to face in
growing up, and much of this is brought about by economic stress on young people
in relation to their parents are not having today what they had forseen they might
have. Say, a perfect example would be a home. We have many people who do not
have homes because they cannot afford them. This ~s 'an economic stress on the
parent that is passed to the child. Another thing that concerns our young people
today, or is one of the problems they have to deal with, is the nuclear age. Another
concept in relation to children is the loss of childhood. Many, many parents in
today's world put the pressure on young people to grow up faster than we did to
children years ago, and there is a whole concept and theory on loss of childhood
to young people today. Also they have the problems--they're facing problems in
relation to drugs. I think to capsule her speech, and she was excellent, was. a
quote that she used and she "felt that children today are not getting a fair share
of America's bounty". And if"you think about that, it's a pretty good quote. Also
last night ! had the pleasure to attend the League of Women Voter's program on the
future of Southold, which was interesting, and they are going to be ru~ing a series~-~
~-~~-~ ~ ~ation to this~ Thank you, Frank. It's been busy. i
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Paul? ~
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes, I was with Jean on this trip to Camden, and
just two things, in the future New York State DEC will not okay any landfill that
does not have a recycling concept built into it.: So New York State is definitely
going to be in' the recycling business. And one of the interesting things we also
saw, and Jean spoke about these pile's of cans and bottles and glass and what have
you, there was a pile probably half the size of this room of crushed cans that they
couldn't get rid of, and what it happened to be is a aluminum can with a steel top,
and they were forced--the industry was forced into this because nobody w~nted- to
have the old fashioned opener. In other words the cheapest container is 'an all-steel
container, but we,re a lazy society and we don't want to get the old can opener out
and open the beer can or what have you, we want the flip-top lid~, and the only one
you can do is with aluminum, and when you mix aluminum top with a metal side' nobody
wants it. 5o you see there are '~]],~n~i~:~aml, f~catlons to these recycling and problem~.
that we're coming into, so it gives you a good idea that we're working our way through
some very, very difficult times. I was to the budget meetings, of course, and I also
attended the L. eague of Women Voter's prog~-am they had the other night. Very
interesting about expanding problems of towns. We're all familiar with them, but
it's good to see that the community is starting to awaken, and I think one of the key
things they brought there was the problem of traffic, and we all know what that's
like in the summertime, and how do we handle it when we are down the road the
year 2000. i also sat in on an Ethics Committee meeting, which was the first one
they've pulled together, and I think we're asking them, and we'll have a resolution
on the Board to update our Ethics Code, and only update it in:the sense of
reviewing what other towns have done and see if :our Code is 'adequate for
today's times. It's merely a revieWing process. And that's about it,~ Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, thank you. Like other Board members we've
been doing the budget, budget, budget. We still'don't Ilke the budget. We've
already met. We've already changed it amongst ourselves. We'll be meeting again.
We'll be changing it again. I know there's a public'hearing on to~ght for budget;
but we've been diligently changing it all around again because we still dont' like
it. There are some of us going down to Texas on Monday, and comin9 back on
Tuesday, and~.like everything else it :deals with the Landfill: And we're going
down there to talke a look at the system which is ~called a digestor, for possible
use here in the Town of Southold. The biggest thing .confronting this~Town right
now is the Landfill~ Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes. It's been exactly budget, budget, budget, three
budget meetings, and a B.oa. rd ,of Ethics meeting which was already reported on.
On the 28th PBA negotiations, which are still top secret. On the 3rd Water Adv. isor¥
Committee, which Paul has already reported on, and last night on the 5th we were
reviewing the budget again as to raising some of the departmental fees, and we're
trying to throw the burden of Building Department and Planning Board on the users.
It's a good concept. We're letting the developers pay the cost so it 'doesnit go into
general taxation. The Building Department fees are quite Iow and it's costing us
more and more with the series of inspections that have to be made, so we're going
to be revamping those fees and we're making a recommendation to the Trustees and
the Planning Board to raise some of their:fees too. We want to cover the--let the
users of these services be paying for them so it doesn't fall back on general taxation.
Hopefully we're going to be revamping; or coming up with a new program on the
d. ump as far as a lot of the extra tonage of brush that's carried in' by major developers
and major carters, and this could provide quite a revenue for the Town, and this
would offset a fairly large increase in taxes. So the budget that you have seen in
the paper and hear about is not the budget that's going to be in its final form. It
should be quite a bit lower. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. I would just lik~ to add to what every-
one has said;, Our most important problem, as we all realize, is the Landfill, and
the costs are going to be exorbitant and I'm very happy to see that we are moving
along, going down to Camden to see a recycling. The least you have to bury, ship,
burn, shoot to the Moon, whatever it 'is, the cheaper it's going to be for the Town.
And there are markets, and things can be developed. The process that the Town
Board will see down in Texas is a very interesting concept, one that I feel has great
promise for the Town, because we've got to do something because the cost, as I say,
are staggering. I also attended with Jean that Mattituck High' School program where
all the East End schools participated, and just like to take my hat off to the school
districts for doing these type of things. To make their"teachers aware, .make parents
aware, make students aware, and to try to work out problems, not just to sit back
and do nothing. We've been very busy on the budget, and I'm very happy to say
that probably the final budget that will be adopted by the Town will be much less
than this Preliminary Budget that we are having public hearings on tonight.
II. PUBLIC NOTI'CES.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving on to the second item on our agenda are Public
Notices.
1. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, notice of
complete applicastion by North Fork Country. Club to construct a well and pump
for the new clubhouse, Cutcho~u~. Written comments by November 14, 1986.
2. Southold Town Higbw_ay Depa?tment "Clean Up Week", November 17th
~hrough the 21st.
3. The week of November 16th through the 22nd is Substanc~ Abuse Awareness
Week in Southold Town, and there's various programs going on Monday through
Friday. Information has gone out into the papers. As many people to partake in
these programs we would appreciate. On Monday through Friday at 10:00
there's films and coffee break. There's a party and awards night on Friday, Nov-
248

Greenport High School, 12:00 to 2:'00 and 5:00 to 7:00, and all the sc~hools are

this whole area, probably in the whole country.
III. COMMUNICATIONS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Communications~, item number Ill.
1. From John~ Skabry concerning lighting on the new gas stati0h on Route
48. We are taking this into consideration and talking to the Planning Board.
2. A very nice letter from the combined Senior Clubs, the presidents of
the three clubs, thanking the Town Board, for their concern and support during
the period of time that the Rec Center was closed for repairs and our cooperation
with them. They've certainly done an awful lot for us.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We' have three public hearings scheduled for tonight at
8:00 o'clock: 8:00 P.M. - Preliminary 1987 Budget. 8:05 P.M. - Intended Use
of Federal Revenue Sharing for 1987,. 8:.10 P,M. - a proposed "Local Law in
relation to parking restrictions."
V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll move on to Item V, Resolutions. The policy of the
Board--we have many new people here tonight--the policy of the Board is you do
have an opportunity to address the Board before resolutions are presented, only
on items that are resolutions tonight. At the end of the resolutions, after the
meeting, there will.be an opportunity for anyone to address the Board on any
other matter. There is a public ' hearing tonight, also at 8:00 o'clock, the reopening
of a public hearing for anyone who wants to talk on the budget. So at this 'time
! would like to ask anyone who would like to talk on a proposed resolution. One
resolution was taken off of the agenda today, and that was a proposed change of
zone concerning the Carr property, and it is not on, so we wiil'not discuss that
now. If anyone wants to they can discuss it after the resolutions are done. So
on the left side does anyone like to address the Board on any of the proposed
resolutions? [No response.) In the middle? (No response.) On the right? (No
response.) If not, Jay?

COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I'd like to ask for a modifii:ation of that, Paul.
". ,. seemingly inactive Ethics Code.." doesn't make sense. Seems like you mean a

have to object to that. Since nobody asked them they didn't have to. We know ~
that. I ! .
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: All right, then I'll leave it as Code. A~d it makes
sense to me, because if the Cede wasn't correct maybe--if'it was correct it would be
active.

COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Thank you, nothing.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Nothing.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Nothing, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, I have something to say. While we're all here tonightt
amid the confusion of the budget and other matters of importance, Southold Town has
taken a big step backwards in the affordable housing area. Resolution No. 9 went
down very quietly after having the support of at least four Town Board members,
and sometimes five. It was shot down tonight, and what this law was, which I didn't
read the entire thing at the time, was a moc~ification which I offered to our existing
Affordable Housing Law, which is seemingly unworkable. It offered that instead of
a Town Board prescribed schedule of 10% of dwelling units for lease, 10% for attached,
10% one-family detached, and 10% unimproved lots as part of the 50% of the Affordable
Housing Law_, w~e offered a modification which would allow the Planning Board and the
developers to work out the same percentage, but not to our prescribed mix, because
not all developers want to lease, not all developers want to sell unimproved lots, because
in a lot of cases they want their builders and they want to make money on the house,
and if somebody wanted to come in and just sell lots, this law, the way it was originally,
would have prevented it. A builder had to develop, so somebody could not come in
and just offer an affordable housing land subdivision to people and let them build their
own houses. The law was workable with. this revision, and it's very disappointing
258
NOVEMBER 6, 1986
l~ecause the same people that are working very hard to upzone the only affordable
housing proposal that we have in front of Southold Town right now, are the people
that have shot down this law. So like I said, while we all sat here all worried about
the budget and all our other concerns, Southold Town has taken a major step back-
wards and I will, as long as Resolution No. 1 reappears for the six or seven times
that it 'has, I will offer Resolution-~this 'to be perpetual Resolution No. 2. [ would
like to see this Affordable Housing Law passed so that at some time in the future
Southold Town, can finally get realistic and start addressing the needs of the young
people and the people out here on moderate incomes so that they're not met with
these ridiculous $150,000 r $200,000 costs and can get something in a price range
packet of about $75,000, which this modifii:ation was intended to do. So, we now
have perpetual Resolution No. 2, which I offer for the next meeting,
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: And I will second that every time.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH:
Law that is on he books.
In the meantime we will have an Affordable Housing
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: That isn't workable.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: That is unworkable.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: That we have had two and a half months of trial.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay. All right, anything else, George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, I iust want to say that this came with the blessing of
the Planning Board. IThis :modification was one of the original requests of the
Planning Board because they felt that our law was too restrictive in the first case.
It comes with the recommendation of the Town Planner, who we hired to ~eview these
laws to make them workable, and once again' it's very disappointing to see that some
of the support which this had--and it has had, I say once again, the four votes to
carry this up until tonight, but people have chosen fit to abandon it, and I feel that
what they have done--althought they maybe feel that they are getting even with John
Costello or with some of the people on his proposal, what they've done is affect
~fordable housing--any proposal that will come up for the Town of Southold. So I
~ope that they'll remember this 'night very ~vell. Thank you.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Hear! Hear!
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:. That's your opinion.
WILLIAM PFEFFER: I wonder if we can go back just for a moment.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We're opening it up right now. You may have the floor.
Pleae stand and use the mike. Thank you.
WILLIAM PFEFFER; I'm not sure that I heard Councilman Penny's report correctly
on the cost of the Dog Pound. What was that figure? It went to fast.
TOWN CLERK 'FERRY: It ~vas $51,657.00.
MR. PFEFFER:
MR. FRANK JORDAN:
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
TOWN CLERK TERRY:
Thank you.
That's affordable housing for dogs.
lt"s $00 square foot cinder block building~
The next lowest bid was one hundred and thirty some
thousand for the same project.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The total bid package was in:the three hundred thousand
range.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: The third bid was one hundred and fifty thousand.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: The same plan, same specs.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It's unbelieveable. Yes, sir.
ADOLPH WESTERLUND, JR.: Supervisor Murphy, I'm Chief Westerlund from the
Southold Fire Department. I reside in' Peconic, across the street from the Police
Station and across the street from the Dog Pound. My complaint to the Board is
at any time between 12:00 o'clock and 8:00 o'clock in the morning the dogs are
out there constantly barking. Something has to be done about this. I also would
like to bring to the attention of the Board the filth conditions that do exist over
at that Dog Pound. ! was over there the other day. I got up at 4:00 o'clock in
the morning- when I was awoken. There was 40 dogs over there, some of them tied
NOVEMBER 6, 1986
up two by two, and this is not tolerable.
259
i can't sleep at night, and now you're
going to put another Dog Pound in;~h~. I just want to know if you're going to
do anything to keep the noise level down and what is the intention fo the Board?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We are working on it. We tried a plan. It didn't work.
This was another alternative, and hopefully this will help. The new building that
Danny is going to put up, the property building, probably will shield the lights
from mainly the police cars and all going in there. Evidentially this is what stirs
the dogs up, and it is very annoying. We're very aware of it, and we're trying
to correct it.
MR. WESTERLUND: And also, wKy do we have to take Greenport's dogs in. I mean
it seems to me they should have their own Dog Pound. They have their own lighting
company, why can't they own a Dog Pound. Why do they have to bring their dogs
up here?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The Department of Agriculture and Markets regulation. It's
a Town function.
MR. WESTERLUND: Well, you'll be hearing from me more if this situation isn't
cleared up, because it just can't go on this way. There's got to be something
done there.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I realize it's terrible.
MR. WESTERLUND- And I can get a whole neighborhood of people down here if'l
wanted to. i was just hoping that something can be resolved, because the condition
is 'just totally--I mean it's filth. You ought to take a walk back, there. Take a rid~
back there tomorrow, all of you, and you want to see stink, filth, garbage...
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Were these dogs outside when you want over this mortify§?
MR. WESTERLUND:
the pens anymore.
runs down there.
Yes. There's so many dogs over there they can't put them inside
They've got them tide outside. There's eight and ten dogs in the
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: And you hit-40 right, because their report said there
were 40 dogs up there presently.
MR. WESTERLUND: I counted 40 the other day at 4:00 o'clock in'the morning when
they Were barking. How would you like to be woken up every morning at 4:00 o'clock?
Everytime a cars pulls in there?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It's terrible. It's very annoying.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Absolutely.
MR. WESTERLUND: I'll call every one of you when I get up when the dogs wake
me up.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: No thanks. The whole facility should be relocated.
MR. WESTERLUND: Thank you. I hope somethings done about this because these
conditions are unbearable.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Hopefully this might help.
MR. WESTERLUND: I doubt it very much.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It'sw not going to help right away.
MR. WESTERLUND: You've got to have something different there. I wouldn't even
build a Dog Pound. I think you should save that money and start all over again
and think of another resolution for this problem. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I agree. And we're very sorry, really, for the inconvenience.
BILL WITSKE: Good evening. I'm Bill Witske. I live right across the street from
the Chief. ! don't mind getting woken up 4:00 o'clock in the morning to go to a fire,
but when it's dogs it's getting a little ridi'culous. I have two young children and a
wife who works at night and like a lot of people I enjoy a good night's sleep. I don't
think turning the building 90 degrees away from the police is not going; to help. A
stray dog or any stray cat comes by they start barking. I walk by 150 yards away
they start barking at me, so it's more than just turning the building way to stop this
problem. You've got to put it in a desolate area. The Town Dump they used to have
it years ago, I understand. I don't see why you can't go back there again. You
know, if the dogs get loose there's nothing to prevent them from running around the
260
NOVEMBER 6, 1986
nu;~ai.borhood again, and as my Chief has said, it's a mess back there and filthy hazard.
I keep a good eye on my kids, but if--you know, I've got a two year old who's as
curious as Hell, and if he got back there God knows what he'd get into. I'd really
appreciate the Town Board looking into another place to put that Dog Pound. Thank
you for your time.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. And again, we're sorry for your problems.
Anyone else on the left? Ed?
ED SIEGMANN: Ed Siegmann, Mattituck. Number one I would like to thank Paul
Stoutenburgh for putting on the resolution that he did today. I think at least
we'll be able to say to the people in the area that have been addressing you people
on this problem that somebody is listening to us. I would also like to ask if we
would be notifieCl when tl-,~is goes [:.ack on to the agenda again', since you tabled it
tonight, that the things that we would have liked to said tonight will be afforded
to say at that time when it goes back on the agenda. Maybe we can be added as
the Number 3 on the perpetual resolutions, and I'm serious. I'm not kidding about
this; I feel that the people in the area that we have the problem with can appreciate
how you feel, George, tonight, sayting that you feel like you were shot dowry. We've
been shot down too.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I just want to say, Ed, that I wasn't shot down tonight,
affordable housing was.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Exactly.
MR. SIEGMANN: And so was our problem, because you didn't have the guts to vote
on it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, on the left, anyone else? (IRo response.) In the
middle like to address the Town Board? In the middle here? (No response.) Over
on the right? Yes, ma'am.
CLAIRE STEVENS: I hope I'm doing this right now.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, you're right.
CLAIRE STEVENS: My name's Claire E, tever~s. I would like to address Resolution 1'
if I may.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: It's in relation to the application to the State Division
of Youth for a Recreation Grant.
MS. STEVENS: Yes. Apart from the application by Supervisor Murphy to the
New York State Divi'sion of Youth, I'd like to know what the available funds are.
Currently and_proposed for the Recreation Department.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: There are many line items. It's a very---I would suggest,
if you would like--and not to put you off--we could pull them out from the budget,
but it would be very piecemeal. It's many, many line items in the budget. To talk
to the Recreation Director Sue Fossett. Have you spoken to her?
MS.,. STEVENS: Yes.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And are you satisfied with the answer?
MS. STEVENS: No.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: All right, do you want to come into my office and I'll go
through the budget and show you where the recreation money is.
MS. STEVENS: Okay. Thank you for the information.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Surely. It would .be much easier and much more rewarding
for you, really, to go line by line in the budget to show you where recreation
money is, because there's a lot of in and out programs. Programs for the yoking,
the handicapped, elderly, that type of stuff. Okay, anyone else like to address the
Town Board? Sir?
RON STRANG: I just have one question in reference to Resolution No. 29 about the
hiring of a part-time Deckhand. I noticed when it was spoken about a few minutes
ago, it was somebody from New London, Connecticut that was hired for this job.
There was nobody from our Town that needed a job to be hired in-the Town of Southold?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This is for the operation of the Fishers Island Ferry boat
which goes from New London to Fishers Island.
NOVEMBER 198 2 61
MR. STRANG: Well, whether it goes from New London or not, we still have people
here that I'm sure could use a job. They couldn't find somebody over here. They
have to go to Connecticut to find someone?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They'd have to take two ferries.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: They'd have to move.
MR. STRANG: I see. You mean the ferry doesn't stop here at all?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Do you know where Fishers Island is?
MR. STRANG: Yeah, I know where it is, I've fished around there.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The Fishers Island ferry doesn't come to Southold. It
goes to New London, back and forth. Once a year it comes and brings the Town
Board over to Fishers Island for their annual meetin9.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: They don't want it to come to Southold. It's the
whole idea.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I don't blame them.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else want to address the Town Board? Sir:
JIM MARTENSEN: Jim Martensen, Southold. This is a spin-off of the yOUng lady's
question about Resolution No. 11. Does that invitation extend to myself also, Mr.
Murphy.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Certainly will:.
MR. MARTENSEN: Because I'm also not satisfied with some of the answers.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Sure, Sure. If you'd like to make a date with Mary Ann
and all of you come in I'll review the budget with you, okay?
MR. MARTENSEN: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response.)
If not, I'd like to entertain a motion to adjourn. I'd like to thank everybody for
attendin9 tonight.
Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh, it was
