9:15 A.M. Deputy Superintendent of Highways Ra'¥mond Jacobs met with the Board
to discuss the bids received for a new or used 4-1/4 yard articulated payloader. He
said he had discussed this 'With Superintendent of Highways Dean and their recommenda-
tion would be to accept the lower' bidder George Malvese & Co., Inc. (see Resolution
No. 31) for supplying a new Komatsu at a net cost of $9~,000.00.' Malvese is a
reputable firm with a long history of experience and the Highway .Department has
always,, received good Products and service from them.
9:30 A.M. - Mrs,' Frederick Rich addressed-the Town Board on the need to earn
money to begin operating an 18 I~ed nursing home unit at the Eastern Long Island
H?sPita~. Mrs..:,Rich stated' that Dr. Hansen and Administrator Mrs. Dixon estimate
that $50,000 is needed for the two month period until Medicare begins
Councilman Townsend volunteered to arrange form Dr. Hansen and Mrs. Dix
with the board on September 24th to discuss this request for funding.
9:40 A.M. - Assessor Chairman Charles C. Watts met with the Board to request the
appointment of a Clerk-Typist and an Assessment Clerk in his department (see
Resolutions 34 $ 38). The Board agreed to call for the civil service certification
lists for those positions.
10:00 A.M. - Robert Webb, President of SEACOM, appeared, before the Board to
urge them to place a resolution on the regular meeting agenda calling for a referendum,
to be held on December 10th, for the approval or disapproval of the establishment of
a public electric utility system in the Town at an estimated maximum cost of $23,555,000.
Mr. Webb indicated his feeling that the Town Board is stalling on this issue when
Councilman Schondebare and other members objected to the proposed resolution,
prepared by Mr. Webb, as being inaccurate and not in proper form. Councilman
Schondebare explained that there were other steps, i.e. consultation with bond -'-
counsel and special attorneys, before calling for a public referendum. Mr. Webb
volunteered the services of SEACOM to set of public informational meetings ,to
educate the public before a December 10th referendum. Councilmen Townsend and
Cochran stated this public forum should be conducted by the Town Board, not SEACOM,
and only after receiving input from bonding counsel and special attorneys with expertise
in this field. A delegate to the Annual Conference of Municipal Electric Utilities Assbcia-
tion of New York State was suggested, (see R~esOlution No. 11), and after meeting
with Greenp0rt Village Superintendent of Utilities Monsell later in the morning, it
agreed Town Justice Edwards should represent the Town.
10:35 A.M. - Mrs. Gladys Csajko of the North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc.,
and several League members appeared before the Board to discuss the unfinished
items on the new addition to the Dog Pound, and the dire need for the construction
of a new administration building and demolition of the existing one. Mrs. Cora Stoll
implored the Board to take immediate action. She stated that the building cannot be
used another winter under the existing conditions. The dogs were freezing and would
have been warmer out on their own running at large. It is estimated that between
$20,000 and $25,000 will be neded to building the new administration building and
kennels and the Board agreed to go forward on the project, using Community Develop-
ment funds, under the guidance of the Superintendent of Highways for contracting
the construction.
11:00 A.M. - Greenport Villa~]e Superintendent of Utilities James Monsell met with the
to discuss proposed Resolutions .19, water districts, and 5, Morato:rium on "B" & "C"
Districts, which Supervisor Murphy asked be tabled until the Town Board ~meets with
the Village Board on September '16~h to discuss these issues~ (Councilman Stoutenburgh
· at this point suggested bi-monthly meetings with the Village Board to discuss mutual
concerns and the Board members concurred.) Village Clerk Nancy W. Cook appeared
before the Board to hand-deliver a resolution of the Village Board, adopted on August
22, 1985, calling for a six month moratorium on any further contracts for water service
to be located outside the Incorporated Vilalge of Greenport. Mr. Monsell stated that
this moratorium would give the Village an opportunity to study and evaluate the existing
system and the potential for increased supply~and service within the franchise area,
which would update their 1982 study.
11:30 A.M. - For Discussion items: (1) Town Attorney Tasker explained the proposed
"Local LaW pr~'iding for the defense of Town Officers and Employees". Councilman
Townsend expressed a concern that such a law would result in a substantial ~ncrease
in the 'cost of the Town's insurance coverage. He volunteered to contact the Town's
insurance carriers to for a determination of the cost. (2) Loncl Island Jewish Medical
Center, 1-day conference entitled, "Controversial Issues in Environmental Health", to
be held on September 27th. A Town representative will attend. (3) Letter from the
Southoid Planning Board relative to Park and Playground Fees. This will be discussed
at the 4:30 P.M. meeting with the Planning Board° (4) SEACOM's response to the
Beck feasibility study; which report the Board will review individually. (5) Request
of Town Trustee Bredemeyer for the Board to allocate $2,000 to engage the-services
of the ECO Test Laboratory to perform F.D.A. approved water analysis bacteriological
testing on samplings obtained from Arshamomaque Pond and Mattituck Creek in an attemp!
to secure a second Conditional Shellfish Permit from the NYS-DEC. The Board agreed
this is extremely important and needed and placed Resolution No. 36 pertaining to same
on the agenda. (6) Letter from Executive Administrator Lessard relative to the Village
of Greenport six month moratorium on water supply and the ~implications with respect
to increased costs to developers. The Board will discuss this at their September 16th
meeting with the Village. (7) Receil~t of resumes for the part-time Buildina Deoartment
Clerk on Fishers Island. I~xecutive Administrator Lessard and Building Inspector
Horton will schedule an interview on Fishers Island within the week. (8) Letter
from the Lagoon Association requesting the Board to allocate $2~ 000 for fiscal year
1986 to assist the Association in their maintenance dredging, jetty work and other
projects to maintain the navigability of their area. The~ ^ssociat~on expect to expend
between $38,000 and $48,000 during 1986.--T~l~e' Town Board 'established a policy, in
September of 1984, not to contribute Town funds to private dredging projects.
Furthermore, although the Lagoon is Town waters, the Suffolk County Department
~f Public Works, Division of Waterways conducts dredging projects within the Town,
but they will not dredge areas where public access is not available and are holding
firm to their policy.- .... Councilman Townsend proposed to the Town Board that
the scallop season be postponed for a month. He has spoken to the DEC and they
feel such a postponment would be advantageous, and the Baymen are in agreement.
The growth of the scallop muscle has been retarded by the bloom of algae and is
beginning to grow but would need about a month more to reach harvestable size.
Councilman Townsend will contact the Town Trustees,~ who are the ones that must
pass a resolution to close the creeks to scalloping, and ask them to meet with the
Town Board after the evening meeting.---Councilman Townsend also expressed concern
to the Board about the delay of Morley Associates in submitting appraisals for the
Farmland Preservation Committee. Town Attorney Tasker will write a letter on the
Town Board's behalf.

of re?air and restoration .of Town record books. Up to the p~resent time 29 volumes
of highway, Town Board minutes~ birtl~, deaths, marriages, have been restored with
new color-coded covers at a cost of as little as $18.00 each in some instances, and
$153.00 for volumes that have badly deteriorated. The original covers haYe been
retained in the vault 'for historical purposes. There are numerous volumes remaining
to be ~estored, but it is hoped this project will be completed by the middle of 1985.
The question of microfilming some of these records was discussed and research will
be done to accomplish that phase of the preservation of the records.
~12:25 P.M. - Recreation Director Susan Fosse~t stopped by the meeting room~to advise
the Town Board that registration for the various recreation programs is going very well.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And at th~s/-~me~'~-,would hke to-ask Bob Duffy if he
would like to make some comments to the Town Board? Would you come up Bob,
and Bob, maybe yo~u and Bill (Stilwagen) would'Come up and i could give you
your---maybe you'd like to make your comments first. Go ahead.
17
MR. BOB DUFFY: Thank you, Mr. Supervisor. and members of the Town Board.
Good evening. It's a Privilege for me to be here as part of the national movement
to keep America's awareness for the POW/MIA question from the Vietnam War. There
are close to 2500 unaccounted for Americans in Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia. When we
were in military training one of the things we were taught was to~ trust in God and
the United States of American and that this-country would never break faith with
its fighting men. I'll leave it to you to decide after you read some of the literature
that we brought here tonight whether it was God or the United States who broke that
faith. We haven't stopped in our efforts to keep pressure on Washington to get a full
changes in the policy of the federal 9overnment. There were also changes in the
policy of the Vietnamese 9overnment. Their economy is in a shambles. The~'re
desperate for diplomatic recognition. Our government's been firm that until there's
a full accountin9 and that they-leave Cambodia, that this government will not recognize
them. There has been movement, s'tartin9 this sprin9 the Vietnamese said that they
want to end these issues within two years. Assemblyman John Behan will be taking
a delegation September 21st hopefully'to Vietnam. They're just wa,tin9 final approval.
He' spoke to the North. Vietnamese ambassador who assured him that they want to end
this issue. I'd like to introduce now Bill Stilwagen who's just been in contact with
The League 'of Families in Washington, .who is on the recent federal delegation and
came .back just a week and a half ago. Bill?
MR. WILLIAM STILWAGEN: Thank you, Bob. My name is Bill Stilwagen. I represent
the East End POW/MIA Committee of the Suffolk County Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans
of America. We have a copy ~f our latest POW/MIA report for everyone here. If
anybody didn't get one they're in the back. I'd also like to give a copy of the latest
Department of Defense Fact Book to the Town Clerk to be put on file, and each month
-we will mail you a copy of our POW Report to the Town Clerk and hopefully that yOU'll
put it on file for anybody who would like to see it. In 1973 all the American
combat troops were withdrawn from Vietnam upon signing the Paris Peace Accords.
Supposedly all POW's were repatriated and all remains that the Vietnamese had were
returned. Ten an amazing phenomena occurred. America developed amnesia. In
1975 South Vietnam was being overwhelmed by communist forces from the north. The
. U. S. Congress voted no aid at all for the South Vietnamese government. It turned
its backs on them and closed its eyes and South Vietnam died. The C.I.A. left-its
-files in Saigon with the names of over 50,000 Vietnamese Who.. were loyal to the. United
States and we ali know what happed to those people. In 1976 President Jimmy Carter
declared all POW/MIA's dead. Issue closed. Over 2500 of our sons and brothers were
then lost. The names are on the wall and there!s a gravestone for each one of them
in Arlington Cemetery. Good ole'Jimmy Carter is going to spend some time in Hell
for that one~ because in 1979 Private Bobby .Garwood made it out of North Vietnam
and he told-Us of 40 others he knew that were alive. Thousands of refugee reports
on live sightings, live sighting reports from foreigners who now work in Vietnam,
C..I.A. tracking reports and satellite photographs now tell us that there are Americans
still left in Vietnam and they are being held against their' will. There are approximately
1.69 of them. The Reagan Administration finally reversed the Carter policy by declaring
the POW/MIA issue of highest, national pr!ority. In 1983 the Vietnamese release 150
French prisoners that they had held since 1954. During 1984 National POW/MIA
Recognition Week the President of the United States promised that the federal govern-
ment would never abandon the POW/MIA's and and added that the POW/MIA families
would never again be alone in their struggle. During the 1985 National POW/MIA
Recognition Week the Vice President of the United States said that the intelligence
assets of the United Stat~e~ are fully focused on the matter of the POW/MIA's and if
we can get hard eviden~;e that the Americans are still held in Vietnamese prisons,
we're pledged to do whatever's necessary to get them-out. In July 1985 for the
first time the Department of Defense, through their investigations on live sightings,
has now refused to rule out the possibility that our brothers are being held captive.
And just two weeks ago the Vietnamese have finally admitted tl~at there may just be
some left alive in their country. I spoke with Mary Louise .Scott. from the POW/MIA
League of F, amilies in Washington, who had just spoke' to Ann Mills Griffiths, who had
returned from Vietnam last week, and they're very encouraged and very excited about
the Vietnamese turn around, and they're just overwhelmed that their loved ones could
still be alive. The Town of Southold is going to fly the POW/MIA flag. We. are
grateful to them. We're grateful to you for having the guts to say in essence to
Washington: We're tired of waiting and we're tired-of rhetoric. We want them accounted
for now. We know that you join the Vietnam Veterans of America in opposing the
callous attitude of dead 'until proven alive. All of our brothers were alive when they
were sent to Vietnam and to date there has been not one shread of evidence, no bit
of proof whatsoever to prove that they are no longer living. There are 2,464 of our
sons and brothers, who are still left in Southeast Asia and these are the last of the
American heros. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Bill. Is there an~/o, ne else would like to speak
for' your organization? Dick?

SEPTEMBER 10, 1985
RICHARD DIEH/: Supervisor Murphy, members of the Town Board. Belatedly I
would like to thank you for pe~-mitting the new tax law to become effective in the
Town of Southold and on behalf of all the veterans in Southold Town we appreciate
that. We knew you'd do the right thing. Secondly i'd like to state that the MIA/POW
issue is not going to go away. In addition to 2400 Vietnamese there are 8000 missing
from the Korean War yet. No issue has been made of this factj but that is a fact.
So we're talking of over 10,000 Americans who are still being held and have been
written off by the government of this country. ' That's not right. We appreciate
your efforts. I would like to also at this time volunteer our services, the Color Guard
of the Southold Town American Legion, Post 803, to officially raise your flag. We
have an excellent, outstanding Color Guard, as you know. We'd like the privilege
of raising that flag at the Town Hall .when it's prepared. Thank you. ~-~
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:. Thank you~ We'll be glad to do that. Bob, or Bill, would
you want so aaaress ~ne ~ssue. we weren't sure aoou~ your wan~lng ~n.s fiag To oe
flown all the time and will you explain the purpose to'the Town Board. We weren't
sure, that's why we set upon the one week.
MR. DUFFY: The traditional method of flying the flag is to fly it 24 hours a day
until there's a full accounting of the missin9 men and if that could be adjusted in
the amendment or ~esolution we'd really appreciate it. There are towns that declared
a POW/MIA week but the flag continues to fly. We have the flag here tonight that
we'd like to present to the Town Board.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Bob,~you want to also address about the light, is it necessary
to have a light on. We don't happen to fly ours.
MR. DUFFY: No, it's not necessary to have a light on. It's fine to just continue
to fly the flag and lights are not show on the flag particularly at night or specified
to be.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Now, what is the procedure in other areas. Is this flown
when there is no AmeriCan flag flying?
MR. DUFFY: Fly it below the American flag.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay~ when there's no American flag, should we have a
~separate pole, or should we keep it on that, is there a side---
MR. DUFFY: It could be do~e any way on a yardarm or separate pole. Either way
that's most convenient to whatever physical arrangements that you have.
SI~PERVISOR MURPHY: How about if we saw about a yardarm on the side for when
we took the flag down, the American flag down, we could still leave that up is your
suggestion ?
MR. DUFFY: Yes, that's the way it's being done across the country.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, we weren't sure.
MR. DUFFY: I'd like to present the flag now.~ This is the official POW/MIA flag.
This is designed by the League of Families and it's being flown across the country.
There has been quite a few TV shows on. Many, many towns in New England are
flying the flag and Riverhead Town is flying the flag and we'd like you to accept
this for our missing brothers and we're hoping that there will be a speedy return.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY; As Supervisor it's my honor to accept this flag and thank you
and thank you for your efforts. Please take this proclamation from the entire Town
Boa rd.

COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We had the Commerce and Industry Committee meeting,
and then we had a Code Committee meeting last night and the outcome of all that will
be maae known ~onigh~.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Joseph?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: 'We had--I attended Jay's Code Committee meeting, and
this morning we had a Landfill Committee meetin9 discussing some problems :that we
may have to deal with four years from now and I think it's time for the Town to
decide in what direction it definitely wants to go regarding the closure of the Landfill
in 1990 because according to the DEC the Landfill will be closed in 1990 for all solid
waste except for ash and bypassed if we chose to incinerate. So i 'think it's time to
make a decision in that area. We also analyzed the bids on the new front-end loader
and ended up saving about $20, 000 from what we thought we were going to have to
pay for what appears to be a very good machine. The STOP Program, which''I'm sure
we'll hear a little bit more about, was discussed, the plans for that, somewhat. We
are going to schedule a .meeting with the head of the local DEC, Mr. Berqer and Merle
Wiggi,ns to discuss the closure of the Landfill. Last Friday, this weekend and Monday
I worked on trying to develop a program to see if we could save what scallops we have
left in the Bay and perhaps work out a plan of action for the future and I think the
Board is going to be considering that later on tonight-when-the Trustees come in.
I went to the League of Women Voters meeting at which Paul spoke at and l'm sure
he'll fill you in that. That's all i have, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Joe. Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes, I also was at your Landfill meeting and looked
in and spoke a little bit 'at your Code Committee meeting and was at a'W~ter Advisory
Committee meeting last night which again brings up the-complicated problems of water
and one them we're finding out is that we're hopefully, going to have a meeting with
.Greenport, a combined meeting of Boards and Water Advisory Committee in the
audience in the very near future in which we're goin~ to work out, we hope,
some understanding so there will not be any confusion and misunderstanding
between the Village and the Town. This is normal to do and we're going to take
up some of the problems that are confronting the Town, not only with water but
other things. The most important one is our coming ST.OP Program this Saturday.
It's going to be between 9:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon. We've already put up a
hundred posters in our community. We put out 2,000 flyers. We' have 2,000 more
printed and these will be handed out, we hope) by volunteers at shopping centers
and places of this sort on Thursday and Friday, plus other areas. If you know of
anyone who has got any household toxic materials around, anything from old pesticides
to drain cleaners or old paint~, Saturday is the time to get rid of them at our Land-
fill. We hope the papers Will pick this up and give US_a tremendous boost so that
we'll be able to cover this most important, one a year event--one time a year event.
I think that's all I' have, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, along with-Jay met with the Chamber of Commerce.
Also I'd like to report that it looks like, the Chamber of Commerce building is finally
on the horizon. The bid specs have been formulated, for which I'd like to thank Vic
Lessard of the .Building Department for this support to the community. Also the
Recreation Committee met in relation to program development and formulation of the
1986 budget. We've just finished up reviewing the zoning map in relation to the
Plann. ing Board. ! also attended Councilman Schondebare's Code Committee last
evening and I would lust like to add that as a member of the--~-P--C~tee, Paul
and I have spent a few hours together lately, and Paul, I realize how important it
is that the promotion has been to this campaign, running around with flyers, running
around with posters. I think, there's ona more thing, we can do, Paul, and I would
like to present this to you in fun and in good health. Would you please open it?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: It,s got to be a STOP T-shirt. It is. There we
are. "Southold Town. S.T.O.P.," Thank y0u~ =1 will wear that Saturday.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: That's it, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY; Thank you, Jean. Very nice' Ray?
0 SEPTEMBER 10, 1985
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Well, with the passing of Labor Day the Island has gotten a
little quieter. I went over on the ferryboat to New London on Sunday at 3':00 o'clock
and it was completely full. 'Coming back Monday morning the cars were still coming
back from the Islandj so I really don't know what's going on. The Mosquito Program
that we had out there this summer with the four girlsj two of them were paid by the
Town of Soutl~old and two by local fundsj did a--i'll say a Hell of a job over there,
and the people 0nly realized how good a job they did when it came time for the to
go off to school iust before Labor Day. The past couple of weekends I attended a
couple of affairs on the Island the people said that they never had the mosquito
problem until after Labor. Day. So it was very successful and I hope we can get
the same girls back there again next year. It really made some differen~:e and I
believe there will be some kind of report to the Town now that the program is
finished. That's it, Frank. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. I would just like to at this time thank
Jean and Paul for doing really an excellent job on this STOP Program, and also to
thank the papers and everyone else who worked on.it,--but as. Board members, and
to thank the papers and the citizens of the Town who gave so much of their time
for this most important project. It probably is one of .the biggest things we've done
in Southold Town to protect our water and I appreciate it and i'm sure all the people
in the future appreciate it, in particular I think the papers did an excellent job~:and
I hope this Thursday's paper will even dO a better job on it.
I!. pUBLIC NOTICES.

LOCAL LAW NO. - 1985
A Local Law in relation to the regulation of

is hereby amended by adding a new Article thereto, to be Article IV, to read
ARTICLE IV
FLOATING HOMES
Section 32-4~. Legislative Intent.
The Town Board finds that watercraft are being used for strictly.
residential' ~purposes .on ,waterways ~.within' the Town of Southold: The
proliferation of this type of use 'is expected to create significant
environmental problem if their 'proliferation remains unchecked.
'' m .-The _.Town .Board recognizes that the waterways surrounding the Town
are one of the. primary recreation areas on Long Island. They are used for
swimming, fishing and boating by many of the local residents and visitors.
Furthermore, waterways are a major commercial resource providing food and
SEPTEMBER 10, 1985
employment fo~ the harvest~ers . of fish ' and shellfish. Shellfish taken
commerc.ally' from sald water~.~.~g;~e.~dlstrlbuted to all areasof the Eastern
Seaboard. The Town of SouthOld' has expended large sums of money-to
develop and protect the harvestable-clam stock.'
The Town Board acknowledges its duty to protect the health, safety
and-welfare of its residents and visitors. The maintenance of high water
quality is 'vital to the use of said' waterways for recreational and commercial
purposes. The avoidance of all uses and activities which could introduce
pollution-~,in'these waterways is 'of constant concern.
-The potential' .influx -- o~ craft and vessels for .residential purposes
creates a substantial danger to water quality in said waterways. The
residential use of these vessels is contrary to the established character of
the Town of Southold' and will' severely diminish the recreational and
'commercial'-u Se'of said'waterways.'
The proliferation, of Floati.ng Homes and marinas which accomodate them
will 'create problems whict~ include, in addition to water.pollution, t~oash
storage and removal, fire protection, emergency energy requirements during
power failures, loss of mooring piles during winter icing conditions, damage
and sinking of vessels during storms, all of which conditions impose
additional responsibilities on police, fire and other emergency agencies in the
Town.
._.The Town .Board ,recognizes that the Town of Southold consists
primarily of developed year-round residential neighborhoods and .that marine
recreational uses are incidental to such residential uses, and that it is in the
best interests of the Town of Southold' and its residents to restrict and
prohibit'.the uncontrolled growth and burden on its waterways that would
res:~lt if the infusion of Floating Homes is not controlled.
Section 32-41. Definitions.

This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, that's the end of o~ur prepared agenda. Is there
any Councilman would like to say anything further at this time? Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: One thing, Frank. I see the final report here on the Town
Clerk's monthly report and this probably final for the year, but the moorin~l fees
SEPTEMBER 10, 1985
on Fishers Island ;~his year went-from $~Z, 505.00 in 198~ to $4j245.00 this year.
That's almost doubled. That's just for people putting moorings in West Harbor and
it's been an excellent program. It has made the Harbor I can say, quote "more
orderly", and with the garbage dumpsters that were put down there on the shore
area where the boats come ashore to refuel, take on water and so fortify and it's
made that area a lot neater, and I'm happy to see the increase in the mooring fees
come up to sort of off-set the cost of the dumpsters that were put in there.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH~: What are the fees for your moorings?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: The fees for the moorings are $100 for all non-resident Island
people--those are the Connecticut boaters, and then the resident Islanders go from
$15..00 to under 25 foot, $45.00 up to 35 foot, and $50.00 over 35 for Island residents.
over? Can they pick up a mooring overnight?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: The only guest moorings that are available on the Island are
some that are owned by the yacht clUb and some that are owned by the marina over
there. How much they get a night I couldn't tell you.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: But there is no guest moorings per se?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Not for the Town. The yacht club has some.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Just something that might some day happen in
Mattituck Creek, I don't know. Transients.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean? (Nothing, thank you, Frank.) Paul? (Nope.)
Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: We wanted to have a discussion before we close the

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll recess on that.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: And also the Trustees have been kind enough to come,
so maybe we can have a quick discussion with them on the scallop project.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Well, let's do the meeting. Do you have anything further?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Just on item 6.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jay? (Nothing, thank you.) Okay. I have nothing at
this time. Before we recess for a few moments I woui~l like to ask if anyone in
the audience, rather than delay them, if you would like to address the Board?
Anyone over here on the left?
MARGARET SKABRY, Henrys Lane, Peconic: Four weeks ago we were told the
FAA would like to review the Airport Study, should take about two weeks. I was
wondering if anything's happened since then?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We called the consulting engineer and he said he~ has a
letter and we have a letter in the mail that's coming--hasn't come here yet, reques'ting
another extension, I believe to the 20th. That".they haven't had the time--the FAA
hasn't had the time to reply. I spoke to Mr. Beach and Mr. Beach is calling the FAA
representative and asking him' to please have this done so that we could have our
public information meeting.
MRS. SKABRY: Then September 20th is the earliest now?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They've asked for th-at--I believe that's right, Dave, isn't
it? The 20th? Did you hear from Paul.~
MR. DAVID SPOHN: That's correct.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The 20th. They've asked for an extension to the 20th to
allow them to contact--to make their comments known to the consultant, Mr. Puckli,
and shortly after that he'll get his comments to us.
MRS. SKABRY: And then after that it still has to go to the Airport Advisory
Committee before we're allowed to have meetings?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.
MRS. SKABRY: And that will take another few weeks.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Mr. Beach has promised us that he will rush it through.
MRS. SKABRY: Mr. Beach has to see it after the FAA.~
2 SEPTEMBER 10, 1985
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: He's going to call the FAA and speak to them and ask them
to please make sure they comment in the time they've asked for.
MRS. SKABRY: So when the FAA gets it, then it comes back to the Town and then
the Town gives it to the Advisory Committee.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Doesn't come to the Town, it comes to the Advisory Committee.
Then it's presented to the Town.
MRS. SKABRY: So it will be probably well over a month by then.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I hope not, but if it is there's nothing we could do.
doing everything we can to try to speed it along, to hurry the process.
MRS. SKABRY: Thanks.
We' re ~'~
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to address the Board? (No response.)
Okay, at this time then I'd like to have a resolution to recess this meeting for the
time it takes us to discuss one resolution _(No. 5), and then I think we'll close it
and then meet with the Trustees. Do you mind waiting a few minutes?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Let's do the Trustees now.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Want to do it now? Okay.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We're all going to be here no matter which one we
do first.

This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
Discussion during recess: i
' Present: Entire Town Board, Town Attorney, Town Clerk, Trustee President ·-
Smith, Trustee Kujawski and .Trustee Bredemeyer.
Councilman Townsend invited the Trustees to this meeting to discuss his
recommendation to close all Town creeks to scalloping for one month past the
scheduled opening date on September .16th. He has ciiscussed this proposal with
the Trustees, DEC, Baymen, Scott Siddal of the Stony .Brook Marine Science Center
purveyors.and other concerned individuals, who agree that due to the algae bloom
the scallop crop is'undersized and a later opening date during the fall would'allow
for considerable 'growth. The Trustees were in complete agreement, stating they
would'like to call a special meeting this evening to order the creeks closed so notice
may 'be placed in the newspapers cancelling the September 16th non-commercial opening
date.
With the assistance of Town Clerk Terry, who recorded the special meeting,
the Trustees left the.meeting hall and convened this special meeting, at which time
they closed all Town creeks for the harvestof scallops until October 25, 1985, when
said creeks will be opened for the harvest of scallops for non-commercial purposes,
and will be opened on November 1, 1985 for commercial purposes.
While in recess the Town Board discussed the proposed Local Law to provide
for a Moratorium in certain zonin9 use districts ("B", "B-I", "C", "C-1"), and
decided to table their decision until the September 24th meeting.
