WORK SESSION
Present:
Supervisor Francis J. Murphy, Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jr.,
Justice Raymond W. Edwards, Councilman Paul Stoutenburgh, Council-
man James A. Schondebare, Town Clerk Judith T. Terry, Town Attorney
Robert W. Tasker, Superintendent of Highways Raymond C. Dean.
12:30 P.M. - The Board audited outstanding vouchers.
1:00 P.M. - Supervisor Murphy explained the background of the ongoing Captain
Kidd water problem. Mr. Steve Tsontakis, owner of the Captain Kidd Water
Company, who was present in the audience (as were several residents of the
Captain Kidd area) concurred with Supervisor Murphy's statement that he wants
to sell the water company immediately or he will be forced to shut down. Mr.
Tst0ntakis said that the H2M study of a proposed water district was good, but
incomplete because it failed to look to other areas for money to repair the system.
He said the Public Service Commission's estimated value for the company of
$45,000.00 was for rate making purposes only. In his opinion the value is over
$230;000.00. Under the H2M study the Town agreed $91,000.00 would be a fair
price for the company. Mr. Tsontakis said that he has contracted with Greenport
Village Superintendent of Utilities James Monsell to make repairs on the leaks in
the pipes and the work is supposed to be completed by January 20th. He is
presently applying to the Public Service Commission for a one-time surcharge
of $20.00 per customer to install a new pump to insure that a second well will
be available for use during the summer. A discussion was held concerning the
next steps toward forming a water district and Supervisor Murphy will ask Sam
McLendon of H2M to further scale down the proposal. This matter will again be
discussed on January 31st, and in the meantime Supervisor Murphy will contact
the New York State legislators to determine if grant funding is available.
Work Session Agenda Item 2 (Suffolk County Article 7 of the Sanitary Code).
Supervisor Murphy will represent the Town and speak in favor of proposed
Article 7 - Water Pollution Control - at the January 25th meeting of the Board
of Health. Councilmen were asked to submit comments before the 25th.
Work Session Agenda Item 3 (Senate Bill 6978, an act to amend the Town Law,
in relation to setting fines for violation of town zoning ordinances). The Board
~avors the proposed amendment to the Town Law, and a resolution of support
will be placed on the January 31st agenda.
Work Session Agenda Item 4 (Electric Power). Supervisor Murphy would like
to establish a committee to study alternate sources of electric power in the
Town of Southold, possibly the formation of a Southold Utility District. He
will also prepare a petition for circulation throughout Southold Town on this
proposal. The Board discussed the establishment of a Consortium of Municipal
Rate Payers in Nassau and Suffolk Counties as endorsed by the Suffolk Town
Supervisors' Association. A resolution to allocate $500.00 toward this consortium
will be placed on the January 31st agenda.
Work Session Agenda Item 5 (Lease of Elizabeth Airport, Fishers Island). The
ongoing negotiations concerning a proposal by Richard Grebe to retain his
lease of Elizabeth Airport was discussed. Justice Edwards stated there would
be a recommendation from the Board of Commissioners of the Fishers Island
Ferry District forthcoming in the next week or so. Communications from Yankee
Airways and Bouton Services, Inc. were available to the Board concerning their
dissatisfaction with the negotiations between the Ferry District and Mr. Grebe.
The Board also discussed the proposed lease of two buildings on the airport
property as outlined in Resolution No. 42 on the regular meeting agenda.
Work Session Agenda Item 6 (Cablevision). Supervisor Murphy stated there
has been a proposal to begin negotiations on the Cablevision contract which
expires in March 1985. The Ten Town Supervisor's Association will be discussing
this again later in the week, as Southold Town is not the only town with a
Cablevision franchise and other towns as well have expressed dissatisfaction
with the service and response from Cablevision.
Work Session Agenda Item 7 {Office hours for the Office of Receiver of Taxes).
It was the unanimous decision of the Town Board that the Office of the Receiver
of Taxes should remain open from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.r the Town Hall office
hours, but Mr. Mellas may reduce the number of employees in that office during
those hours as he determines feasible.
Work Session Agenda Item 8 (Farmland Preservation Local Law). It was agreed
by the Board members that the proposed Local Law to provide for the acquisition
of development rights in agricultural lands should go to a public hearing as soon
as possible. Supervisor Murphy will ask the Farmland Committee to meet and
review the proposed Local Law and make comments prior to the next Board meet-
ing on January 31st, so the Local Law may be revised, if necessary, and a date
can be set for a public hearing in February. Letters to farmland owners advising
them of the program, and an informational hearing cannot be held until the Local
Law has been adopted.
Work Session Agenda Item 9 {Sound Avenue project). The payment of a bi!l
from contractor John T. Montecalvo, Inc. can now be paid once the Town receives
conformation from engineers Holzmacher, McLendon & Murrell, P.C.
Work Session Agenda Item 10 (Landfill). Supervisor Murphy advised the Board
that a reasonable proposal has been received (Resolution No. 12(a) on the
regular meeting agenda) for aerial photographs of the landfill site, which are
essential to the preparation of a Part 360 operating permit application by H2M.
Further, the Board reviewed the proposal for preparation of the aforementioned
application by H2M and agreed to accept their proposal for services [Resolution
No. 12 on the regular meeting agenda). Councilman Townsend submitted a
new position duties statement for the proposed manager of the landfill site.
Although the Board would like to advertise for resumes for the positionwhich
should be filled as soon as possible, the duties statement will have to be sub-
mitted to the Department of Civil Service for classification. This will be done
as soon as possible, with the hope a resolution to establish the position and
call for resumes can be placed on the January 31st agenda.
Work Session Agenda Item 11 (Town Attorney's Office). Supervisor Murphy
stated he was not ready to discuss the Town Attorney's office at this time
as he had been ill and unable to meet with Town Attorney Tasker for a
discussion on the subject.
Councilman Stoutenburgh mentioned a recent letter from the North Fork
Environmental Council, in conjunction with the League of Women Voters, asking
that the Board consider meetings in the individual hamlets to discuss the Master
Plan~ Councilman Stoutenburgh felt this was a good idea, and Supervisor Murphy
said he would call Stu Turner of RPPW, the master planners, to suggest'cha1~
thisbe done and how soon these meetings could take place.
2:55 P.M, - Work Session adiourned.

I. REPORTS
1. Town Clerk's monthly report - December 1983.
2. Town Clerk's annual report- 1983.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'd like to remind everybody these are available for
anyone to read at any time in the Town Clerk's Office. On the Town Clerk's
annual report I would like to just point out the sale of sand in the landfill
came to $52,928.00 which is quite a sizable piece of money. And to give you
a little bit of an idea of her activity, she took in $124,600.19 in Whole Town,
$117222.52 in Part Town, and disbursed $241,822.71. She was a very busy
Town Clerk and a very good one. Paul, you have a comment?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: i was just going to say, I think some of the
fees were not the full fee on our dumps too, didn't you increase those fees?'
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: And I think a lot of people are still
utilizing the old fees.
SUPERVISOR
next year.
3. North
4. Town
5. Town
MURPHY: We will pick this up. We should have an increase
Fork Animal Welfare League's monthly report - December 1983.
Justice Price's monthly report-December 1983.
Trustee's monthly report - December 1983.
6. Town Trustee's annual report - 1983. They received~-took in for
permits $7,062.88 this year.
7.(a) Building Inspector's monthly report - December 1983.
7.(b) Building Inspector's annual report - 1983. To give you an idea
of the amount of volume--most all of us know that there is quite a bit of
activity going around--191 new dwelling permits, 219 additions, 8 businesses,
10 additions to business, 236 miscellaneous applications. A total value of
$17,998,709.00. They also were very busy this year.
8. Town Historian's annual report - 1983. She did a fantastic job,
as usual, for the Town this year.
9. Town Justice Tedeschi's monthly report - December 1983.
I0. Grants Program report - December 1983. We could be very proud of
this. This has helped do a tremendous amount of work for the Town that we
would never have been able to qualify or be able to do--never afford to do,
and I think we're doing very well in this department.
11. Police Department's monthly report - December 1983.
12. Councilmen's reports. Jay do you have anything?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: None, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: ! just thought' on the Police Department's report
you might mention, as both of us are members of the Committee, that there
was a net reduction in many many areas, significant areas, like felonies and
major crimes. Overall incidents, however, went up, disturbances and minor
things, but also our incidents of case solving is some 7% higher than the national
average. I don't know what that really means in terms of what it was last year
and so forth, but we're doing better than the national average. As you I~now
our County Executive has been pushing on DWI's, which I think is very important.
AS far as my report goes,lfirstly I attended a meeting of the Historic Landmark
Preservation Commission and by next month they plan to have the first list of
houses they wish us to declare historic landmarks. These houses are primarily
going to be houses that were built prior to 1815. Most of them houses that were
built in the early 1700's. They may not be able to get that far, but they're
going to try to. They still have to visit all the owners and get permission and
so forth, but in February some time they want to come to us so that we can
schedule a hearing for that. Secondly, if you weren't here for the work session,
we are workin9 on a iob description for many and varied activites of the manager
of the landfill. Hopefully Frank will be authorized to send out for resumes or
advertise for jobs by the next meeting. Lastly, at the last meeting I asked for
a resolution to go for a special election, which I thought a good time to dO it
would be the primary day, but apparently that's illegal. It's a long and involved
process in going to the Suffolk County Department of Elections and the State,
it turns out that the primary is to be held solely for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the Presidential Convention. It can't be used for anything else,
so I asked Bob to help me write up a resolution requesting Governor Cuomo to
schedule a special election considering we have so many important things that
should be ruled on by a full Town Board, the Master Plan as an example. Since
it is difficult to come to a decision where you have only five members and you
need a four member majority and in zonir~g decisions where you need a four
member majority plus one, that makes it a unanimous vote. Sometimes it's: very
difficult to come to a decision, so I see that it is on the agenda today and
we'll be voting on it. That's all I have.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Paul.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Being new on this Board I took the opportunity
to mix a little business with pleasure and went down to H2M new office building
and was taken for ~ tour and was quite impressed with their facilities and was
briefed on the two major projects that they are working on now, the Town dump,
of course, and our scavenger waste program, and it gives ~me more and more of
a feeling that this Town is headed for more complications and therefore a planner
in the future is going to be ~lmost a necessity for this Town. I have nothing
more to report.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Judge Edwards?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The Supervisor's report. We had a very busy two
weeks. Captain Kidd Water took quite a bit of time, and also the Article 7
with the Department of Health. There is a resolution in today for going out
to bid for the Scavenger Waste Treatment Plant. This is a big step forward
for the Town and a tremendous improvement and one that's going a long way
to solve.our problems of contaminating the water. The planning man--the
consultant, or however we're going to do it--I've got several letters going
out. We contacted eight or ten different people and we have a lot of names
starting to come in to the Town. As soon as we compile this list we will set
up a committee to interview these people and one of the big emphasis will be
on water managment as well as planning. That's about it. I'd like to move
on to public notices.
II. PUBLIC NOTICES
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: 1. Application of Anthony Tamburrino, 85 Watersedge
Way, Southold, to construct a groin in Hog Neck Creek, Little Peconic Bay,
and all comments regarding this permit must be prepared in writing mailed
to reach this office (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) before the 30th day.of
January 1984. This, I might add, is posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin
Board here for anyone to see.
2. U. S. Army Corps of Enqineersf (application of Coastal Farm~, Inc.)

Island Sound. Comments are requested within 20 days of the date of this
letter, which is January 5th. Again, this is posted on the Town Clerk's
Bulletin Board.
JANUARY 17, 1984
II1. COMMUNICATIONS
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: 1. From the Department of State, State of New York,
and it's a copy of a letter that was sent to Shirley Bachrach. League of Women
Voters and it took the Town to task for having a closed session when we really
shouldn't have had an executive session. We will do our best to see that this
doesn't happen again and I'm glad that somebody took the interest to find out and
tell us that we were wrong and we'll be the first to admit it.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS - Scheduled to begin at 3:30- Michael Carlucci, Wetland
;Application, and 3:32 - Grace A. Finora, Wetland Applicatioh.
V; RESOLUTIONS
Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Justice Edwards, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby appoints
Raymond C. Dean as Commissioner of Public Works for the Town of Southold
¥or the term beginning January 1, 1984 and ending December 31, 1985, and
be it further
RESOLVED that the salary of Raymond C. Dean, Commissioner of Public
Works for the Town of Southold be set at $3,000.00 per annum, and that
the same shall be paid in regular semi-monthly payments, and be it. further
RESOLVED that thge Town Clerk be and she hereby is instructed to file such
certificates with the proper parties as are required by Section 30, Subdivision
3 of the Town Law.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Discussion on that.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: You came up the last time with this. Have we
decided we're going to do this now with with the Department of Public Works?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I think we should myself.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: What happened was, I think, basically ! was trying
to determine whether it would be more appropriate to put the new head of the
landfill in as a Commissioner of Public Works and maybe separate the duties,
but the Public Works duties are so varied, involving things other than the
landfill, that at this point I think we should do this and maybe wait next year
i~ we ha~et0 do something lil~e that, ~)ut I think it's just that we have designated
in the budget so many different things for Public Works that we'd have an
impossible lob finding someone that could take that.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Because right now we're trying to find someone
to supervis~ the landfill.
/
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Right.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: May i ask a question in reference to the
$3,000.00. [ wasn't here when that was granted. Was that granted because
of the landfill? In other words the extra duty of the landfill particularly?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I believe it would be the extra duties--he's in charge
of street lights--
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I understand it, but it wasn't the landfill?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No, not the landfill.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Paul, the $3,000.00 figure comes from--that's the
highest amount that we could pay, I think, a non-competitive position and
$3,000.00 was a way of compensating Mr. Dean for all those things, but
basically probably--maybe this is improper--but most of his salary is paid
through the Highway Department.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: My only point was if it was for the T~)~vn--
Dump or the landfill area and we're hiring somebody else, I would think
that there would be no need for paying the $3,000.00.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: But there's all sorts of other activities involved.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: But we need somebody to take care of the
other activities first.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.
440 ~ANUARY Z?, 19~'~<

Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 2 (appointment of a Town Attorney), I apologize
for this, I would like to ask that this be withheld for two weeks and put it on
again. I would like to meet with Mr. Tasker and discuss this with him and I
it's not proper right now. I request that we hold it, unless someone has an
objection.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I object, obviously, but I know we're not going
to have enough votes to do it anyway, so we're spinning our wheels again. So,
you want another two weeks, Frank?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I know Paul wanted two weeks two weeks ago
so he could have the figures to check into it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I've got some figures I'd like to talk to Bob---
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We're two weeks later and now you want another
two weeks..
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'd like to talk to Bob. I had intended to talk to
Bob on Friday and I wasn't able to come in. It was my fault.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: All right.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay?
COUNCILMAN SC.HONDEBARE: Certainly.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We move on to Number 3 to grant IIene Pfifferting
her Step II salary increment.

to be paid by the petitioner.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: The cost of the advertising to be paid by the petitioner.

Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
JANUARY 17, 1984
441
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Just a point ,of interest on this thing. We did have
a hearing, it was--parties spoke. ~i~:~'iitiy, according to the applicant, they
didn't receive notice of it--direct notice--which is not our responsibility, but
we normally send out.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: We did.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I wanted to know--I mean, if we wanted to vote
on this thing, based on what we knew, we could go ahead and vote on it,
right ?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes. We have no legal obligation, Joe, to do this.
We're doing this out of courtesy to the lawyer who we know if he said he
didn't get it, he didn't get it.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: So, is there any way in the future--what I'm
thinking of is in the future maybe we should try--! know it costs a lot to
send things return receipt, but it seems to me--do we have to send notice,
Bob?
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: No.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: We don't have to send notice then?
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER:
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND:
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER:
has ever happened.
TOWN CLERK TERRY:
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
No.
So this is just a common courtesy. Could we be--
This is the only time that I ever recall that this
It was during Christmas mail time.
So it's a pretty good average, Joe.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I just want to know that people--for instance, if
somebody has a real objection to this and they want to take us to court for
having two hearings on it, can they do that? Should we rule on the first
one and then allow another one or how does that---
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We had a hearing and we closed the hearing.
In fact, some people spoke in opposition to it, so they'll have to come back
and speak in opposition to it again. It was you, yes, Ruth, it was you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: in fact the comments she made were, I believe, were
that-they showed no interest.
Moved by Justice Edwards, seconded by Supervisor, Murphy, it was

Law State Environmental Quality Review and 6NYCRR Part 617, Section
617.10 and Chapter 44 of the Code of the Town of Southold, notice is

allow any other local dealers a chance to bid on the same type of car, and
this is why we're doing it, trying to be fair. Any other questions?--There
were too many changes to just ignore.

22.
Moved by Councilman Schondebare, seconded by Councilman Townsend, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby goes on
~record as supporting proposed legislation to amend the New York State
Vehicle and Traffic Law, Section 1645, 1654 and 1653 to assign to Suffolk
County those traffic control responsibilities on County roads which are
currently under the jurisdiction of the Towns and Villages, excluding the
Towns of Islip, Huntington, Brookhaven and Smithtown outside of the
villages therein, whereby Suffolk County would assume the responsibility
for the maintenance and electrical energy costs on all traffic control signals
on County roads cur-rently maintained and paid for by the Towns and on ali
future signal installations on County roads, and be responsible for, and pay
the costs associated with the installation, maintenance and replacement of all
traffic signs on County roads, with the exception of street name signs. The
Southold Town Board believes this proposed legislation would provide more
effectively for the safe and orderly movement of traffic on county roads with-
in the Town of Southold.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Do you want to second that, Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'll second it, but I might not vote for it. !
read the letter from the county on this and basically it just sounds too good
to be true. I was wondering why the county wants to incur expenses, what's
the advantage to the county other than their--do they get part of a grant, or
why are they willing to do this?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I didn't talk to Bart Cass on this, but I assume it's
to make sure that they are maintained properly on the county roads, and if
the signal is on their roads, so I'm sure they want it done the way it should
be done.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Ray, do you have any idea what it's costing us
to maintain these signs, the electricity and stuff like that?
SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS DEAN: Nothing, we don't maintain signs,
we only maintain traffic signals on the county road and probably--oh, there
was one large bill last, I think for four or five hundred dollars.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: For the repairs. There's only the two, isn't it, Ray?
SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS DEAN: Yes, then we've got the caution
lights.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The caution light on Depot and Wickham Avenue, and
then down at Westphalia.
SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS DEAN: And we've got one down in New
Suffolk that is ours anyway, because that's on a Town road. So, probably
about five or six hundred dollars is the cost to maintain them, but they did
this about seven or eiqht years ago when they finished the dual highway
up in Southold, all of-a sudden they came out and said the Town has tO
maintain the street lighting and we bought it because we wanted them to
replace the street light at the end of Peconic Lane. And they said, "No, ~we
don't maintain lights anymore," and we had a price and it cost about twenty
thousand dollars to put a street light up there.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I don't think it's street lights they're talking
about.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Not sl~reet lights, Joe, he means traffic signals.
SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS DEAN: Traffic signals. So~ probably some-
where, like you say, Joe, ~here's some grant they got and they're working
it out that way, so let them take care of it.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: It's probably advice of their attorneys and they
figure if there's an accident~--
SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS DEAN: Let'them maintain them.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We probably should never had to do it.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Undoubtedly. Now when they decide we don't have
to pay the court stenographers anymore---
SUPERVISOR MURPHY; Paul, do you have any questions on it?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: No, I just asked Bob if he had 'anything on
this.
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: No. We have always felt, in the past, that they
are county highways and the county ought to take care of them, including the
traffic signals, but the law imposed it on the Town. This is going to change
it, and we'll save some money.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I think it will be much better for tl~e Town. They
have the knowall and all to do a much better job than our part-time Commissioner
has. All set? Want to vote on it?

Code of the Town of Southold.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes. How does all of this come about?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: You have a letter which explains exactly what Miss
Adams--traffic slowdowns at which time the police check the inspection and
stickers and registrations and asked the police department to give her a
complete list of when these traffic slowdowns--the dates of the traffic
slowdowns and what tickets were issued on those dates. The police depart-
ment does not have a record of that. They are initiated, apparently, by
whatever sergeant is on duty on any particular day at any particular time.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: That was communicated to her, right?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Yes, it was.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Then why are we have a hearing on this?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Because she still wants a record of it.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: But nothing exists.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: That's correct.
COUNCII~MAN SCHONDEBARE: How can we have a hearing on something that
doesn't exist?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: She has a right to ask for a hearing under the
Freedom of Information Law.
COUI~CILMAN STOUTENBURGH: If she asks for it we have to give her.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I Would imagine if we denied it, if we had
the records and denied it, then i think she could ask for a hearing. If
the records don't exist, how can you have a hearing on something that
doesn't exist? Are we going to bring her in and tell her they don't exist?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: i think it would be easier to have the public hearing.
I think we'd do much better.

SUPERVISO-R MURPHY: On the question, anyone? This is the payloader
down at the landfill. We've had quite a few transmissions put in. What
is this going to be, Ray?
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: Third. Basically, every 3800
hours it seems to go.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Now that we've gone to inflatable tires again,
theoretically we put a lot more tires on, but a lot less transmissions, isn't
that the way that works?
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: No, I don't really think so.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, that was some of the information I had,
that because---
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: Don't believe everything you hear,
ask me.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: You weren't here, Ray.
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: You have a credit card.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: So you don't think it was as a result of the
extra load put on by the tires?
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: No, it's a consistent thing. It
worked out almost to the hours, and we inquired about other ones and---
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Think it was the manufacturers self-destruct
mechanism in other words?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And, unfortunately, we're stuck with it.

we used to go.

the basement, the Bookkeeping Department and Historian--the air is getting
very stale, it seems that the ducts were not right, some of the opening and
closures were not installed properly years ago, and they are freezing closed
and it's creating quite a problem for the people working down there. Hope-
fully it will make safer and better working conditions. Any other questions?
(No response.)
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Schondebare, Councilman
Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 30 is asking to rescind Resolution No. 6 that
we made two weeks ago (January 3, 1984). Before we do it, Bob, do we have
an answer that this is definitely so?
TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: To the best of my information the State Election
Board counsel has ruled that the only purpose presidential primaries are held
for is to elect delegates to the convention.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I can cite you chapter and verse on that, because
I got it from the state office from a fellow named Tom Zalesi, who's the Director
of the New York State Board of Elections, or assistant to the director, and
according to him there can be no other--but according to Section 8100 of some
body of law--I assume it's the State Election Law--you can hold no other election
other' than the delegation of candidates and delegates.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I was told that you can, though. I don't know.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I heard that. The reason I checked on it was
because I heard from the newspaper--that came from a Patricia Buckland, and
apparently she was incorrect.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Why don't we leave this one the way it is and pass
the other one, the next one. Vote on the next one also and if we could have
it on that date, fine, we could have it, and if 'we can't have it--
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Do it when we can.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We could have have it anytime, but if we could have
it on that date, it would be fine.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I know it would be fine, since there are no
Republicans running. That's fine. I'm certain it's illegal. I'll be happy
to let it stand, except it might be a little confusing to the Governor to get
two requests.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
him.
I'm sure he's had more confusing things sent to
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: ! don't care, we'll just let that one slide, if
you want to verify it and then put it on the next---except we want to get
this out as soon as possible.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This will be out, Joe, tomorrow.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: What's going to be out tomorrow?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thirty-one.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Thirty-one will be out?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Sure.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Thirty-one doesn't set a date, it just calls
for the election.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And we might be talking about the same thing.

452 JANUARY 17, 1984
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Am I going to be sending both of them to the Governor?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: That's what I'm getting at. Are we sending
two of them at the same time? Sounds a little silly.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Why don't we just--if you want to amendr why
don't we continue with 30 and add Something to the other one. That way we
send him one thing. That if it's legal---
SUPERVISOR
COUNCILMAN
COUNCILMAN
COUNCILMAN
MURPHY: if at all possible, for cost reasons.
TOWNSEND: No~--
STOUTENBURGH: We. could save some money.
TOWNSEND: I don't think it's possible---
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And it would probably be the fastest time. We're
not going to get the machines a month before a primary, you can be guaranteed
that. The Board of Elections is not going to do that. And we're not going to
get them for a month after the primary either, and it might be even longer if
there's a challenger to anyone.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well I tell you, Frank, I have been assured that
it isn't legal, but also the other reason is basically a political one, that there
would be no reason for a Republican to be out on that day.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Oh, no.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: You mean to say you're not doing it for political.
reasons ?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Oh· no.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, you can sent off whatever' letter you want,
with it· but I would like to repeal that one, because two would go different.
You' can sent off whatever you want. If you say primary day is fine, that's
fine, if it's legal, l'm sure that's what the Governor will do.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'd like to leave 30 stand and vote on 31 and we'll
send a covering letter to the good Governor out tomorrow.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'm still going to move it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, let's move it. Any other questions on 30?
(No response.)

be held, or must they be used each year?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They can be held, but they don't like you to go
three, four, five years and not spend the funds.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: The reason I say this is that Cutchogue is--
I know, ! spoke to the person who is in charge of the building program, and
they-definitely are involved in a building program, and I'm wondering if we're
moving too fast on this in taking this away from them.

40.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No, Paul, i think we could modify another years budget
and it depends--you can't do certain things with it. You might be able to help
with handicapped construction.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: This money was for handicapped facilities for the
Cutchogue Library.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENI3URGH: ! realize that, but if they put in a facility
and added this--r
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We could probably do this at that time for them, and
this is going back three years in their projects and they don't like the project
sitting.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Frank, just in addition to that, sometimes you see
these housing lines, rehabilitation, and they'll be there for a couple of years
and those are important to keep after. They're very difficult because of all
the variables in dealings with contractors and the owners of properties and
credit okays and so forth, and sometimes they tend to hang on year after year
and you don't think anything is happening, but there's a lot going on. Whey're
very important that we--that's, [ think, the most important project of this whole
grant' program and I think that's why it was set up, and we are making progress,
it just.takes a long time to do it, so that's why you see those things year after
year in there.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We are coming into--to give you an idea of the time-frame,
we are coming into Year X. We are in Year X funds, but we will not be able to
draw them until March of this year. Any other questions? (No response.) Move
the vote.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes': Councilman Schondebare, Counciiman
Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.

dump, by the way, otherwise known as the landfill.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Bill Pell's favorite story was Larry Murdock and
the dump, and how he cursed him for giving him the .dump and it turned out
to be most--his ticket to his great political success.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ray, why don't you read Number 40.
Moved by Justice Edwards, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh,
WHEREAS, pursuant to a public hearing held on October 29, 1983, the T~own
Board of the Town of Southold, on November 1, 1983 adopted a bond resolution
appropriating $1,400,000.00 'for the acquisition of a new Fishers Island Ferry
District ferry boat to replace the existing ferry boat OLINDA, and
WHEREAS, in the course of planning a new vessel and preparing specifications:
therefor, the Board of Commissioners of the Fishers Island Farry District has
determined that it will be in the best interests of the Ferry District to advertise
for competitive bids for the main propulsion machinery for the new vessel! and
thereafter_ specify, when bids for constructing the vessel are sought, that .
JANUARY 17, 1984
engines will be provided by the owner,~ioow, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of,~ n-of Southold hereby authorizes the
Board of Commissioners of the Fislqers iS'i~d Ferry District to ad~ ~r
competitive bids for two (2) Caterpillar ,model 3412T diesel marine propulsion
engines with Caterpillar model 7211 transmissions, ratio- 3.06:1 or equivalent;
specifications for said bids to be of a form and content approved by the Town
Attorney.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions on 40?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: I'!! explain something on this. When the Caterpillar
Company found out that Fishers Island Ferry District was building a new
boat, they came to the Ferry District and said, "We do not have any Caterpillar
engines in the Long Island Sound area that are on a strict 364' day year running
schedule and we would like to have some pilot engines in your boat, just to show
the,people that they do work." So what kind of a bid we're going to get from
Caterpillar we don't know, but we do know that if anything goes wrong with
these engines that Caterpillar, as long as they are in business, are going to
stand right behind them, so this is the reason that they went away from the
Detroit or General Motors after the Caterpillar. So it's a hell of a deal that
Caterpillar is offering the Ferry District.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: ! might add, we did the same thing in the Town in
buying that Caterpillar payloader, where, I think, after their strike they
must have been very hurt and they are selling and they want to move their
materials. Any other questions. (No response.)

Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilman Townsend,
WHEREAS, Michael Carlucci applied to the Southold Town Board for a permit
under the provisions of the Wetland Ordinance of the Town of Southold, applica-
tion dated October 26, 1983, and
WHEREAS, said application was referred to the Southold Town Trustees and
Southoid Town Conservation Advisory Council for their findings and recommenda-
tions, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Town Board with respect to said
application on the 17th day of January, 1984, at which time all interested
persons were given an opportunity to be heard, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that Michael Carlucci be granted permission under the provisions of
the Wetland Ordinance of the Town of Southold to construct a bulkhead and
floating dock at Conkling Point Creek, off south side of Island View Lane,
Greenport, New York, PROVIDED the existing bulkhead is removed and the
new bulkhead is constructed in its place. This permit shall expire on January
17, 1985 if work has not commenced by said date; there shall be two inspections
required, and the Town Clerk shall be notified when the project is completed.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I only want to make sure that it is somewhat
understood that having been down at this place where this bulkhead is going
in, I think it's important that we, from now on, keep in mind, whenever possible,
to have bulkheads replaced in place, rather than letting the contractor say put
it I8 inches or a foot out, or a foot out, or two foot out, for the simple reason
that through the years we'll eventually have problems of losing our right-of-
ways along the beaches and in front of water areas that are common lands to
most people, and this has been taken care of in this resolution, but I just want
to make sure that the public understands my feeling, and I hope the Board's
feeling in the future.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: What if they do it back? But it behind?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Back is fine.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That would even be better, Joe, as long as you clean
up the mess in front.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: We're finding other towns are doing the same
thing, Shelter Island has just made quite a big move in that direction.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, any other questions? (No response.)
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Schondebare, Councilman
Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
49.
Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilman Townsend,
WHEREAS, Grace A. Finora applied to the Southold Town Board for a permit
under the provisions of the Wetland Ordinance of the Town of Southold,
appJication dated November 7, 1983, and
WHEREAS, said application was referred to the Southold Town Trustees and
Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council for their findings and recommenda-
tions, and
JANUARY 17, 1984
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Town Board with respect to Said
application on the 17th day of January, 1984, at whiCh time all interested
persons were given an opportunity to be heard, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that Grace Ao Finora be granted permission under the provisions
of the Wetland Ordinance of the Town of Southold to construct floating dock
and ramp at James Creek, on the east side of East Legion Avenue, Mattituck,
New York. This permit shall expire on January 17, 1985 if work has not
commenced by said date; there shall be two inspections required, and the
Town Clerk shall be notified when the project is completed.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Are there any questions?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Did we get something in on this one? Didn't
I read something on Finora?'
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No, I think it was a comment by the Conservation
Advisory Council on the public hearing.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Could I get some input on to what normally
is done in the procedure here, Judy. You probably can tell me. When it
says, "two inspections", who makes those inspections.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: The Building Department.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: And do you have a report on those?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Yes, if they make them. I send them a notice When
the permit is granted. I send them a copy of the permit. I tell them they.
may make their first inspection whenever they think feasible, and then 'l~ill
notify them when the project is completed so they may make their final
inspection.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: And then that file is then closed, but not
closed until those two inspections are made?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Yes, that's correct.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any other questions?
COUNCILMAN SCHODENBARE: Where do those reports go to? The Building;
Department goes out and inspects. Where does their report go? Do they
file it in the Building Department and give somebody a copy of it?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Doesn't the Trustees get the copy?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Where does it go back to? The Trustees are
the ones who put the thing on it. Does the Building Department then give
a report back to the Trustees, Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: No, the Building Department only takes Care
of the Wetlands end of it, you see, and this is the Town Board's decision,~ so
therefore it actually is the Town Board's respons,b, lmty to see that these tl~,ngs
are done, so i would assume that it would be--and Judy, I think you're saying
it--it does come back here, doesn't it?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Yes.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Does come back here?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes.

Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend r Supervisor Murphy.

(Nothing.) Joe? (No.) Paul? (No, thanks.) Judge Edwards? (Nothing,
thank you.) Anyone in the audience would like to comment? Phil.
MR. PHIL BARTH, Southold: Number one, Ruth and ! counted up afl the
items that pertain to Fishers Island, I think you set a record, 13 items.
Number two, I'd like a resolution at some time or another to remove the clock
and put one up that makes some sense.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That ~vill be taken care of.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: It wasn't in the budget.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else like to make any comments? Stuart.
JANUARY 17, 1984
MR. STUART HARVEY: Mr. Dean, on this payloader, with down-time and
repairs, would it be cheaper to buy
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: No.
MR. HARVEY: No? I mean, it seems to be quite a problem. I just wondered
whether it would be.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You're talking about a hundred and forty thousand
dollars.
MR. ~HARVEY: Wow.
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: At least.
MR. BARTH: And no guarantee that that wouldn't break.
MR. HARVEY: How much down time though are we losing?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Twenty-one hundred hours.
COMMISIONER OF PUBliC WORKS DEAN: Now that I've got the resolution
for this, probably in a week or so we should have it done.
MR. HARVEY: SO, you know, .it might be more---
COUNClLMAI[I TOWNSEND: Stuart, the only thing I can say on that is that
no matter what we get, every certain number of hours we're going to have a
breakdown. No, this, I think is an abnormally short period, but generally
every 3600 hours or something like that, instead of 2800 you get a transmission
overhaul anyway.
MR. HARVEY: Secondly, now that we have a new Board, maybe somebody can
tell me what's happening to the roof, inspection at the civic center, or whatever
you-want to call the senior citizens place. This has been going on for like a
year we have been having siudies and there's always going to be a report out
and I never see anything on it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Lyle Meredith is--I guess he was sick or something--
but he had--and Ray Dean has it over in the Highway Department--and the man
to work with him, material to put in the cracks to fill it in, like an expansion
sealer, and that will be done--in fact, is it done yet?
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEAN: I think it's done.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I believe it's probably--
MR. HARVEY: In other words we're going for repair rather than some of these
deals on new roofs?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: On the new roof we have a problem on the inside
ceiling, and this we have several people looking at it. We don't know if it's
going to be cheaper to take down what we have and install the proper' roof.
It seems the tiles are wrong, it was hung poorly. When they did the
insulation more of the wires broke and it's in very bad shape.
MR. HARVEY: No, because they had come up with some deal for plywood and
shingles on top, which I wondered whether it finally died a natural death and
you would 9et around to repairing it instead.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: According to steel building manufacturers, that you're
not gaining that much doing that and if you seal the cracks and if you do the
proper insulating, hopefully it will work.
MR. HARVEY: Good. Can I give you this clipping. You probably read it,
but to make sure we don't miss anything.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Sure.
MR. HARVEY: I guess that's ail, except I hope we do get a new clock.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any other' people in the audience? Ruth.
MRS. RUTH OLIVA: I'd just like to know how many of you gentlemen went down
to the Norkus property to determine if it did have a negative or positive effect
on the environment? Before making a determination.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I venture to say none of us probably. If the
Trustees don't know what they're doing then they shouldn't be there.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: Planning Board.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Planning Board.
MRS. OLIVA: ~This is not the Trustees. Planning Board. Because this
piece of property, if I'm not mistakenr is the one that was turned down for
multiple housing just below the General Wayne Inn because it was situat, ed near
the wetlands and its proximity to the water r so you turned it down once on
those grounds, to me it certainly does have an effect on the environment, and
you shouldn't have given a negative determination to it.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: What are they requesting?
are you referring to?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: It's a relief petition.
I'm sorry, wha~ number
MRS. OLIVA: Well, it's going to come up for a hearing, but it's the
environmental assessment on Number 32, Norkus' property, who's dow.n below
the General Wayne Inn. It's all a very sensitive area down there.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, multiple family zoning is different in density
than a---
MRS. OLIVA: I know, but he's coming in and wants to get the one acre
instead of the two acre, but still and all he is near the wetlands.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND:
he's looking for.
MRS. OLIVA: Yes.
But it's a conventional residential development
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll look into it, Ruth, thank you for your comments.
Anyone else?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: And I'm not going out looking at bulkheads
either.
MRS. OLIVA: I didn't ask you to go out on bulkheads, this is where the
Town Board is declaring itself either a negative or a positive determination.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, I would like to make one last announcement--
is to call for resumes for a member of the Board of Assessment Review. It is
a five year term. The present man serving that term is Samuel S. Markel, and
it expires on February 22nd. Resumes please be submitted to the Town Clerk
by February 9th. With that, I thank you for your patience. I would ask the
Town Board would stay for Executive Session on a personnel matter with,the
Highway Department and the Highway Superintendent. That will be the end of
our regular meeting. Thank you gentlemen and ladies.
