WORK SESSION 2:45 P.M. - Supervisor Murphy advised the Board that Executive Admin- istrator Victor Lessai'd had interview individuals for the part-time clerk-typist position in the Building Department and had selected Helen DeVoe. He recommend- ed that she be appointed March 1st with a starting salary of $4.50 per hour. A resolUtion will be placed on the February 28th agenda.--Supervisor Murphy also informed the Board that the old supervisor's car being used by the Building Department is in need of extensive repairs and would suggest purchasing a new car. It was determined that the money for a new car is not in the 1984 Budget and an attempt will be made to repair the old supervisor's car.--Supervisor Murphy stated he would like to appoint Justice Edwards Deputy Supervisor for Fishers Island, as Such a title would give him more authority on the Island. Town Attorney Tasker advised that that would not be possible, as the Super- visor may have only one deputy, the position being held by William R. Pell, III at the present time.--Discussion was held concerning a proposed local law to ban the use of lead solder with a content higher than 0.20 per cent where drinking water pipes are concerned. Norman Murrell of Holzmacher, M-~ndon & Murreil, P.C. had submitted details of a study conducted by their firm, and the Suffolk County Department of Health has urged such a ban. Town Attorney Tasker presented a resolution (No. 30) which he prepared to implement this ban. 3:00 P.M. - Congressman William Carney met with the Town Board to discuss the Captain Kidd water' problem, and get' an overview of the situation so he can determine if there is any kind of federal money available. Super- visor Murphy briefly outlined the history of the situation, stating that the owner of the Captain Kidd Water Company, Steve Tsontakis, has Said the financial problems may force him to close down the system before summer. Furthermore, due the projected costs, and the inadequacy of the system, many of the residents in the area have begun to install their own wells. Congressman Carney said that there was a similar problem in the Shirley/ Mastic Beach area, but they did not qualify for Community Development Block Grant Funds, as he is sure the Captain Kidd area will not, due to income levels. He said he is not optimistic about available funding, but promised' to have a written report for the Town Board within three weeks. 3:10 P.M. - The following public hearings were held: Wetland Application of Thomas and Jacqueline Occhiogros$o Wetland Application of Russell B. Case Wetland Application of Pirates Cove Marine, Inc. Wetland Application of Lewis Edson 3:15 P.M. - Riverhead Town Attorney Richard Ehlers, and Community Development Program Planner Richard Hanley addressed the Town Board, seeking their support in opposing Article 7 of Suffolk County's proposed health code revision. The Town Board has already indicated their support of Article 7. Article 7 would allow the health commissioner power to block developments Of industries in prime water recharge areas. Mr. Ehlers said the first step they wish to take is to require the County to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement which will provide alternatives, and then ask the Council on Environmental Quality of Suffolk County to evaluate the alternatives'. He further stated that the authority, if given to the County, FEBRUARY 14, 1984 would eliminate the Town's zoning authority and would require everyone to deal with the county on every parcel of land, and the DEC already exercises authority over development applications in those environmentally sensitive areas. Supervisor Murphy expressed his confidence in the implementation of Article 7. 4:00 P.M. - Community Development Administrator James C. McMahon met with the Board to review the financial status of Community Developme~lt Block Grant Years VII, VIII, IX, as well as the Jobs Bill (fiscal year 83). 4:30 P.M~ - The Board set Friday, February 17th, beginning at 8:00 A.M. for interviews for the Sanitation Superwsor position.

COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: No. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ray, do you have something further to say? JUSTICE EDWARDS: I'll second Joe's motion to pay all bills except this last 'one that was entered this evening. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Joseph, do you have anything further to say?

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: .The first item on our agenda is Reports. These reports, for anyone's information, are on file in the Town 'Clerk's Office, and I will go through them and if anyone has any questions, please stop- me, and i'd be glad to answer them. 1. Annual report (1983) Justice Edwards. 2. Supervisor's report for the month of January 1984. 3. Highway Department's report for the month of January 1984. 4. Fishers Island Ferry. District's report for the month of January. 1984. 5. Grant Program report for the month of January 1984. 6. Town Trustees report for the month of January 1984. 7. Town Clerk's report for the month of January 1984. One item in there I would like to mention to give you an idea of the activity in the Town, there was 735 yards of sand sold for the landfill in the middle of the winter, the coldest month. We are getting very active and very busy down there. The Town Clerk told me she sold just about that much to date. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: May I inquire if those were all at the new rate. 4 FEBRUARY 14, 1984 TOWN CLERK TERRY: Of course, absolutely. Paul, as soon as that resolution became effective, that following Monday, the new rate was in effect. And that was back in October' of 1983. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And the new rate was $2;'50 a yard.. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: There was nothing about the ones that had bought up previously? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: There is nothing we can do, Paul, about them. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I thought there was. · SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No, they' were. sold at so many yards at so much. What Paul Stoutenburgh is talking about, is back in October we changed the fee schedule for the landfill, realizing that we weren't charging enough, that it was costing the Town--actually costing us money for each yard of sand we loaded on a contractor's truck to take out of the landfill. By the time you figured the cost of the land, the equipment to load it, the personnel and all that, at $1.00 a yard we were losing money, and we raised the rate to $2.50 a yard and it's close to a break-even point, and we're also now competitive with--there are no other Sand pits in Southold Town, but the biggest one close by is over in Westhampton, and they charge $2.50 a yard for bank run. 8. Annual report for. Sustice Price (1983). 9. Monthly report of Justice Tedeschi (January 1984). 10. Monthly report for Justice Price (January 1984). And if anyone has the time sometime, look at these and see the activity that's going on in our Justice Court. 11. Report from the Receiver of Taxes on the amount of money that was taken in and paid to the Supervisor for the first half of the taxes--the Town taxes--the total amount paid to the Supervisor was $17,580,586.33. This has~ been distributed. We act as a collecting agency, and this has been distributed to the various park districts, fire districts, school districts, who receive the bulk of this, plus our Town share, and the share going to the County. 12. Assessor's monthly report (January 1984). 13. January (1984) report on the Grant Programs, and our Grant person, Jim McMahon brought us up to date on the last four years of the Community Development Grant Programs. 14. Police Department's monthly report (January I984), and if you want to get' an idea of the activity in the Town, look at that for the month of January~. 15. The Building Inspector's report for the month of January (1984), which is normally slow. Thirteen new dwellings, value of $1,267,000.00. Total activity, there were 12 permits for miscellaneous farm and accessory buildings, -eight additions, and three new businesses,' The Town is getting very active. 16. Cablevision's report (January 1984). 17. North Fork Animal Welfare League's report (January t984). 18. I'd like to now ask the Councilmen for any reports of the standing committees they're on and any progress that has been made in the last two 'weeks. Councilman Townsend. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Nothing on standing committees. There is progress on the Landmark Preservation Committee. ! notice they're h~ving a meeting tomorrow night. There was a letter.from the Long Island--Mrs~;..Vanderlou from the Long Island Society. for .the Preservation of Antiquities~l'm not sure if that is the exact name--and where for $12,'000.'00 they're willing to make a complete .'survey of all historic structures in the Town. I didn't get'a chance to discuss this with you in the prior meeting, but our Landmark Preservation group is well aware of that service, however, they feel that that's what they're here for and they're going to do that and perhaps save the_ Town some money. Although i will bring up the second .request of this group to them. But they are aware of that service. Farmland Preservation. I don't think there has been a meeting since our last meeting and so thatis basically where that's at. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: But you are working with the Town Attorney on the changes. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, we've been~-I think the legislation is going to stand the way the Town Attorney has written it. I think we'll set a hearing for it shortly, but ! just wanted to make sure there's no real reason for putting it in our zoning laws, as opposed to iust setting up a separate classification for it, so we're going to contact Southampton head, Gil Flanagan, to talk over the reasons they're doing that. On the dogs there's a contract for approval that will finalize a lot of the arrangement we have with the Animal Welfare League, and as as the eastern most Councilman I attended the League of Women Voters informational meeting on the proposed Master Plan and found that there was a iot of interest and a lot of concern in the eastern two hamlets, East Marion and Orient. They raised a lot of good questions and valid concerns, and I think FEBRUARY 14, 1984 for their consideration. ! onl' -the other hamlet meetings'are as well attended, i'm g~Orry carry the ball, in that I'm not as familiar with the process as some people--the members of the Planning Board are--but Ruth and Jean helped out and I think we were able to enlighten a few people, particularly on the subject of TDR's, .which they were concerned with. That's about it, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, JosePh. You've been' working hard. Paul? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH; Nothing, except to express my feeling that the local communities, when they have these meetings on the Master Plan, I think is where people can really vent their ideas. There were over 200 people in this auditorium. They actually were standing up in the. school auditorium in Orient', so it shows the interest as we move along. It was very' well done, I think, End I think the people who put it on were extremely well foresighted to see' that we needed this kind of local input. Nothing more. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Justice Edwards? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just that Fishers Island is looking forward to RPPW coming over there and present!nc the plan to the people on the Island. Of course, it was very bad not seeing, the color map like you people had the opportunity to do here and there is some concern on the Island and they're looking forward to .their visit over there. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. I went in last week to New York City, in the State Office Building, with Supervisor Lang of Southampton, and Ann Dalton from the New York State. Cable Commission and a representative of Times' Mirror. We're in the negotiating stage of a new contract. Our contract expires next year, Greenport expires this spring. Various villages on the South Shore expire within the next two years, as well as the Town of Southampton, and we're in the process of coming up with what we hope is a much better plan. Thursday we're doing a survey in the Town of new line extensions. We expect to have a public hearing sometime around the 14th or 15th of March. This will be announced in the papers to get input from anybody in the audience, anyone who has any gripes or praises Of Long Island Cablevision. We will ask You to attend these meetings, and' if you do have a particular area you would like to see served that isn't presently served, please call my office and let me know so it can be included. What w~e're trying to do is to keep our basic service charge, not to allow any increase in this until possibly maybe two years after the complete system in the 'Town is rebuilt and what we're trying to do is negotiate a contract so that everybody's contract comes out at the same time. What this will do, it allows more competition in the future, to come in. Another interesting item that we put in that 'is really for the community, is to have a community TV station set up in Riverhead where shows could be taped, and .there~',will be portable cameras, ! believe, seven is what we asked for, to go to various sporting events, plays, school activities, senior citizen activites, whatever is going on in the East End towns here, and this would be played back on the local television station. It means about $90,000.'00 investment in equipment, which is specified in this. I~can't praise Ann Dalton, the repre- sentative from the New York State Cablevision, too much. She's really been fantastic in far as helping us come up with a contract that will certainly be better than what we have .to live with now. I've got two other' things, one on the master planners. Paul and Joe both mentioned-. The next one is .Thu_rs__d'a~ _n_igh~. in_ .t_he Peconic Senior Citizen Center for the people from Greenport to the west, going down to Peconic, and please attend your local ar,eas. If you live in this area, please attend, see what's 'going on, and give these people your input so we know really how everybody feels, because w'e're going to have a good plan if everybody cooperates and everybody puts their input into it. The more people that do, the better our-plan is going to be for the future. There will be a Water Advisory Committee-meeting tomorrow night, and if anyone's interested', please show up. It will be at the Town Hall at 7: 30. That's about the end of my report and I would like to ask for a motion to recess so we could start our public hearings that are scheduled for tonight. Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Supervisor Murphy, it was RESOLVED that a recess be called at this time, 7:50 P.M., for the purpose of holding the following public hearings: 7:50 P.M. - petition of Robert C. Norkus and Aldona Norkus for relief- from the Bulk requirements Of the Zoning Code. 7:55 P.M. - petition of Arthur P. Simon for relief from the Bulk require- ments of the Zoning Code. 8:00 P.M. - petition of Dalchet Corporation, et al, for a change of zone on certain property in Cutchogue. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice-Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy. This resolution was declared' duly ADOPTED. Meeting reconvened at 10:20 P.M.

COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: There was some concern about protecting that beautiful piece of work over there (quilt). Have we thought anything about how we can do this?--In this letter from Mrs. Goodrich. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Do you have any ideas, Joe? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I think there should be some--maybe a spray or something. Somebody should look into that. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I wouldn't spray it, but I think we could probably enclose it in some kind of vinyl thing that resists ultraviolet light. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I think we should pursue it, though, that's my point. Let's not just let it go by, I think there should be something done. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Do you want to do it, Joe, or do you want me to? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No, you're right here, maybe you can. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, ! will look into something and report back. One of the suggestions, I think you made it today, about possibly this going over to England, was a very good--- FEBRUARY 14, 1984 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: it wasn't my suggestion. Just the person that donated it to the Town, or the person--Janice Rcibinson--suggested that since Mr. Pell is going to make an appearance at Southwold's thing, this would be a very very appropriate memento to display. It does reflect a lot of our loc~l heritage, an~l she would be Certainly happy if it 'happened, but it's ours now and I thi'hk it would be an appropriate ~hing. We have to be careful with Packing it,i it might be-- ~;UPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll look into that, how to safeguard it. Okay, moving on with the Communications. 11.

This is about how it is going to be written up now. Anyone would like to put some more comments into it, we would appreciate it. 14.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Item IV, we've had our public hearings for today. We'tJ move on tO V, Resolutions. The first one is a clustering. Would some- one t~ke to-- COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Frank, I have ~omething to say on that. I'm asking the Town Attorney if we could change the wording of that "Resolved that the Town Board'of the Town of Southold"-instead of "has inspected", "has considered". Would that be appropriate? Because I do not say I've inspected these things and I think we should not be accused of doing some- thing that we don't do.- So ! would lust like to just have that word in each of the three, and from henceforth, "has considered", instead of "has inspected". Unless each.of you want'to state that you have inspected these places. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Joe,' do you have any comments on it? (3OUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No, 1'11 go along with that. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ray? JUSTICE EDWARDS: No, I agree with him. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's all right, Bob? TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: Sure. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Would you like to offer that, Paul?

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions? (No response.) Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Stoutenburgh, Jus;dce Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Super~;isor Murphy. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 3 is to allocate $?;50.00 for a handicapped swimming program. FEBRUARY 14, 1984 Moved by Justice Edwards Murphy, it was RESOLVED that the hereby allocates $750.00 from Whole Town General Fund A7320.'.4 Joint Youth Account for a Handicapped Swimming Program for 15 children, sponsored by the North Fork Parents and Teachers of Special Children. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone have any questions on it? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Yes, I do, Frank. I have a problem with it, . because it's not that ! don't feel the role of government isn't to help distribute the wealth of the community to 'help the handicapped, I think it is, and I think in many instances we do, but I have a problem with the way this is being done, in that we have not made any attempt to review the handicapped situation. With the facilities available for the Town for ali the handicapped people, and I'm a little concerned. I don't know first of all what's legal, and what isn't legal as far as this goes. We just designate one program for a few individuals and donate money to that. That's one thing I'd like to have reviewed. Secondly, I would suggest that perhaps if there is a problem with facilities for the handicapped, and recreation for the handicapped, we should address it on an overall basis. In other words, we can find out what kind of problems-- how many handicapped live here--I'd like to have some demographics on it. I'd like to find out what we can legally do; maybe we can provide a more comprehensive plan; maybe we'll end up spending more than $750.00, but I think if we do it on a very piecemeal basis ultimately we're going to be stopped for budgetary reasons. Regarding this specific request, I don't know, is there a regular swimming program for people in the Town? I assume there is. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I' spoke to Bob Muir who runs the Red Cross Program in the Town for many many years. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: And I understand that those people, the people that use the regular program pay a certain amount to do it--S10.00, or some- thing like that. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: These people who use this program will be.also ask'ed to contribute the same amount of the services. The reason the services are much higher is because this is a one on one situation. You can't have one person with 20 kids in the water. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: But I'm just concerned. '1 certainly empathize with the people who are. handicapped and the parents of handicapped people, because they have extra financial burdens that we don't have, and physical burdens, but i'm a little concerned with just approaching it without doing any kind of ground work, and not~--because the next time somebo~ly Comes through that wants something, are going to continue to be able to do this? To just grant whatever the request is? I'd like to have some sort of idea, before the budget time, how much we are going to dedicate to handicapped services' and to what entity, so that we can b~a little bit more circumspect. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Joer I wouldn't be surpris.ed if legally we have to have some kind of handicapped swimming programw if'we are providing the swimming program for those non-handicapped. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: It's .quite possible~ SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'm quite sure. I would iust'assume that we have to. We could look into it further. Would you ladies like to comment on this? You might be able to enlighten us a little more. MRS. KATHLEEN GRASECK, President of North Fork Parents and Teachers ~f Special Children: We also, in our group, have other individuals who come to our meetings, who 'have handicapped adults, not just children, but we requested, from the Town Board, this specific monies for our swimming program, because, as you know, June comes along in a very short time, and we were hoping that the Town could set aside' monies for this purpose so that handicapped children could also have an equal opportunity for a program, as w_eli as normal children. If we could have a meeting, perhaps, on a Saturday and invite all handicapped people in the community to attend and voice their special needs, as Well as the needs of children' in the area, perhaps then we could get a more--a better view into what the Town would need on an overall program. Mr. Bruce Blower, who is in charge of Handicapped Services for Suffolk County, has come out to our meetings and spoken to us about different services that are available. We inquired as to what would be available for children, and he said there is nothing out in this area, and he suggested that we approach our Town on this matter. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Can you answer, how did the 15 children come up? How did you arrive at number? Or 15 adults? FEBRUARY 14, 1984 MRS. GRASECK: Well, we came up with the number' of 15 children in anticipation of more children being involved in the program than we had last year. There were actually nine children who were in the swimming program last year, and these children, were paid for privately .by the families. We felt that there were childre~ who would have gone into the program, but because of the cost it was probably--they were unable to be in the program. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Do you have an3) idea of the number of people in Southold Town that would quality for this program? I'm thinking of people who would take the swimming lessons. MRS. GRASECK: Right. You mean adults as well? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBUI~GH: No, I'm talking about your program. of the same caliber as you're talking about right here. People MRS. GRASECK: Well, we anticipated about 15. We hope that this would--- COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: In the Town? MRS. GRASECK: In the Town. Our group covers children from Laurel to Orient, ' all the way over to Shelter Island. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Because that's What I want to make sure. and clear to the people, that it is not a local Southold village type of thing. MRS. GRASECK: No, not Southold village. We have members from Laurel, Mattituck, Cutchogue, Greenport~ Southold, etc. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: So where would these lessons be given? MRS. GRASECK: They would be given either on the Bay or along the Sound. It would be a similar program to the program that the children have now. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Would the parents be willing to participate in part of .the cost? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: As far as What, Frank? Are you saying the amount the other children are paying? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, similar to what the other children would pay for their Red Cross lessons. MRS. GRASECK: Yes, they would. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: In other words, just like any other child? MRS. GRASECK: Yes. We're just--we're not looking for just looking for it to .be feasible for the average child to this program. a hand-out, we're be abl~ to be in SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I also spoke to Mr. Bob Muir and would like to see if he could get some volunteers to help, this cost. Now, if you would like. to hold this resolution, the .$750.00 for the program, and maybe you Could expand MRS. GRASECK: If you would like, I could have the girl of this program work with the Town Board on this. he, if possible, which would reduce Joe, or authorize it. who is in charge SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Why don't you have her contact me and we could see setting up a program~-what we could do. Would you like to do that, Joe? To hold this for two weeks? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: It just seems to me that--r~ot to say that your cause is not a worthy one,* because I believe it is, but I would like to--I know there are some people that' might like to play soccer, they might want to--there are other things that you may not be involved in. ! would like to create some- that would be more encompassing Town-wide. Maybe .$750.00 would be a good number for this, but i would also like to have Bob check out the legal aspects of it; maybe it is a requirement on us; maybe we can't do it. And I would also like Jim McMahon to do some research and see if there is any duplicate funds so maybe we could provide a larger program. If' there is a grant that is ~vailable for handicapped athletics, or recreation, we might as well look into it and create a whole program that would be helpful. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Kathleen, would you have this person contact my office, then, tomorrow morning, or the next day, and I'll arrange to have her come in and we could talk to Jim McMahon and then quite possibly maybe to have a committee of parents or people .who are involved in' teaching the handicapped to come to a Work Session of the Town Board. FEBRUARY 14, 1984 MRS. GRASECK: Yes. address this letter to you because we had ho~ to at a later date. We hoped to get a recreational program to include these children and the regular children in the Town of Southold, as well, and if.you bear with me for a few minutes'? "Dear Town Board Members: We as parents and teachers Of special children on the North Fork have come together as an association to share not only our concerns, but our 'hopes and aspirations for our children. We have set goals we would like to see achieved for the special children of the North Fork. Last summer we were able to institute a one-on-one swimming program for some of our children at a cost to parents of fifty dollars for five sessions. Although the cost was Within the range for private tutoring, few were able to take advantage of the opportunity, We would like to see this program expanded to include all our North Fork children with handicapping conditions. We feel camping facilities Should be made available for the mentally retarded as well as the physically handicapped and currently researching this possibility. Saturday recreation programs in gymnastics, art, music and physical education combining both the handicapped and non-handicapped will serve not only the purpose of developing and enhancing skills, but in creating greater awareness of the handicapped by the non-hancJicapped population, it is our hope that perhaps with your expertise and that of the Town Board we can realize our goals. As Board members you are aware of the fact that parent~ and teachers of the handicapped are knowledgeable about the educational as well as social needs of their children. It is our hope that you will continue to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of special children in the developmeot and implemen- tation of appropriat.e programs that will enable them to become contributing and productive members of our North Fork community. Should you at any time feel we can be of assistance, Please feel free to contact one of our officers listed below." i'/And then we had an invitation to our next meeting on February 29th at 7:30 P~M. when w.e will be having Philip Mclnnis Who will speak on the Mclnnis-Hammondsport Developmental Program. And we have a list of our officers and their phone numbers, if that would 'be of interest to you. Thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. And could I have that? And the person to contact--is the person on there to contact? Who should ! contact? MRS. GRASECK: YOu can contact any one of these officers. TOWN CLERK TERRY: Who was it that was in charge of the program, that you were speaking about, Kathy? MRS. GRASECK: This particular program? The swimming program was Barbara Kujawski, she's the Treasurer. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Which Barbara is 'this, there are a couple of them. MRS. GRASECK: Mrs.' Raymond Kujawski, Aldrich Lane. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: O1% y~s, I know, in '~ct I've spoken to her'. All right, let's table this resolution and let's start workin9 with these people to start somethin9. MRS. GRASECK: Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You're welcome.

Sometimes these packages come in with air-conditioning--they sometimes throw these' other things in, and it costs you more if you want to get a car, to eliminate the power windows.than not. That's iust my personal experience. Not that I have power windoWs in my car. That's the only thing I would comment on that. That sometimes they have these packages of extras. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I don't know exactly what it is, but the extras are always put in at about $1,000.00 more which brings the price of the car up, though. TOWN CLERK TERRY: Well, this is one that we rebid in order to get the price down, by the way, and it. did come in lower. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I think perhaps if you want to bring that up at the Police Committee meetings, that we eliminate power windows and--- COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Well, to me, if you can't wind down a window, well, I don't know.

This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ray, would you like to offer this one also, it's a lease. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes, I'm going to go along with it, but I'm not to happy with it. Moved by Justice Edwards, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh, it was RESOLVED that Supervisor Francis J. Murphy be and he hereby is authorized and directed to execute a lease between the Board of Commissioners of the Fishers Island Fire District and the Town of Southold for the lease of one office room adjacent to the entrance hall in the Fishers Island Firehouse, together with specified office furniture, in said room, effective April 1, 1984, for a one year term, with automatic extensions 'for successive years, for the fee of $800...00. per year, to be paid upon the execution of the lease, to be used by the Southold Town Justice on Fishers Island. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'd like to mention the lease previous was $~;00.00, that was signed about four years ago. Would you mind telling us, Ray, why you're not happy? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Well, I think--we have to have a place on the Island to hold court. The room that's there is used by two other districts besides myself. There's really not that much room in it and ~ think the amount of money that the Fire District is asking for is kind of ridiculous, and I'd like to go along with it this year because it came up suddenly, but next year i'd like to see if it were possible to put this money into the State Police Barracks down there where I hold must of my courts in the summer- time. TOWN CLERK TERRY: This doesn't expire until March 31st. SUPERVISOR ML~RPHY: We have time. COUNCILMAN STOIJTENBURGH: Well, what else can we do? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: What about the Ferry District? Can't we use any part of their offices? JUSTICE EDWARDS: No,' except for the new buildings that they've recently acquired,i but they would require some extensive remodeling to move in there. The FerrY District doesn't have any room per se. The Ferry District does own the State Police Barracks. The State Police does pay the energy charge there to keep that place heated during the wintertime and I think this money that the Town pays to the Fire District could go into that building down at the Fort. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Why don't we look into dealing with the Ferry District. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: The Ferry District is ours. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It seems kind of silly' to be paying taxpayers money to taxpayers. Let's hold it. JUSTICE EDWARDS: The only problem is you're going to have to check with the State Police to see if we can dedicate one room in the barracks for the Justice Office. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: We have time. JUSTICE EDWARDS: There are three or four bedrooms in there, if we could dedicate one of the downstairs rooms. 15 FEBRUARY 14, 1984 14. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: It's ours. JUSTICE EDWARDS: I know that. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: All right, let's table this. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Trying to save you money, Frank. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's exactly what we're doing. Number 14 is to establish a new committee, kno~,n as the Transportation Committee. !'11 offer that resolution. Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Justice EdWards, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby creates a new committee, to be known as the "Transportation Committee". COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Since i see in the next one coming up there there's a---what's the purpose of the Transportation Committee? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: One of the reasons, Bob Brown called and there is a problem where we might lose a lot of the buses because of lack of ridership, and to try to coordinate better scheduling or more use I thought if we could get the Town Board involved and maybe we could provide a service that's needed. Maybe work With the Nutrition Center a little, somewhere to get the ridership up, and it's one way we're going to try to-keep a program that we have in the Town, otherwise Bob Brown says we're going to lose it very shortly. JUSTICE EDWARDS: And also Miss Jody Adams suggested this. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, that's one of the reasons. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: And I'd like a letter to be sent'to her saying that this committee has been set up--just a short note.

The present man in this position is Sam Markel. who there is a letter in here expressing interest to be reappointed. Anyone have any other ideas on it? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND:. The only idea I have on this'thing is that we have created a situation where very. qualified- people have applied, and I was pleased to see those applications on the one hand, but saddened on the other, in that they've gone to an effort, as far as I'm concerned, that is largely wasted, because I'm happy with Sam Markel. He's been on it, he's been' doing a good job, and I feel that there is no reason to pull him off, even though somebody may have more technical qualifications has applied'. Same is an intelligent man and he's ~amiliar with property values' around here. It just seems as though it would be a shame to pull him off, even' though somebody else may have a little more qualifications on paper, we don't know how he would'react. We haven't inter, viewed these people. I feel in an instance like this, there must be some way that we could-- unless the Board expresses dissatisfaction with the person, that we would not have to go out and initiate applications and solicit applications if we feel we're happy with the person and the way he's behaving, if we're not happy with him, that that's a different story, and it's the concensus of the Board, or one or two members of the Board, that we should go for applications, then we should do it. But ! think it's a waste of time and money to do it. Time on our part and other people's part, and the applicant's part in an instance such as this, where--l~ink~most'~f us are· satisfied' with Sam Markel. I may be wrong. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, I was glad to see' that so many people took the time to put an application in, and I agree w~th you, Joe, I think they should be considered, and I agree' with you that Sam's done a decent job. Personally I like Clem Thompson. I'd like to see some changes on some of these boards. I think after a while you get too set in your ways. What has he been on--ten years ? TOWN CLERK TERRY: I think he has been on a very brief time, perhaps three years, he ~illed an unexpired term. 18 FEBRUARY 14, 1984 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: What is the nature of your dissatisfaction with Sam? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Nothing. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: His party registration? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No~ He gave Bill the office. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I know--I'm sure he told you that. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I would hope it wouldn't be that. I myself feel that each position merits investigating, and that's my feeling on this, that I don't see how we can~go ahead and follow your idea and pick a person that we think is right, when i don't really know what Sam Markel-does. I take the Board's position saying that he-~that they recommend him. I say that's true, but I'd like. to hear what Sam Markel says and i'd like to hear what these people say. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: So you want to interview. Do you want to interview these people?' COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I don't see why not. I don't think it would be an hour's job, ten minutes each, and you sit through and at least you've given them the right to be heard and if we find somebody who is extremely good, I say now is the time to act. ! it's sort of like the rule in the natural world, the better' survive,' and if we have better people we make a better board, and only through finding out what's out there and what the board is do we make a better board, otherwise--and I'm not saying anything against Sam Markel, I know him very well, and have nothing against' him, and i don't think I have any problems With him whatsoever, and I don't think he dislikes me. I just' feel it's an obligation we have to open this thing up to everybody, and surely a lot of people must think that's a good idea, because a lot of people have put their names in. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, all I'm saying is that the person has Worked hard--I've attended some of the meetings, I've seen him function. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Then'"he has nothing to worry about, really, Joe. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, I know, but I just feel that at this point it's not efficient--as lOng as he is interested in the job and performs well, I think he deserves' some security, unless somebody has specific problems with him, and if that's the case, then certainly we can interview. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I don't think anybody has a problem with him, Joe, I think it's a good idea to--we have six people here who took the time out to be interested. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Why don't we say vote on them, we've got to interview, because I'm .not going to vote to anybody I haven't talked to. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Do you want to interview? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll set up. an interview and see what we could do, and we'll just delay it and try to have it for the next meeting, okay? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Okay. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: All right, Paul? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ray? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes'. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I think you could put a time and a date and anyone who can be there be there. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 20 is to appoint somebody to the position of Maintenance Mechanic !11. i think you all have the letters from Alex and also from Doug Clark. Do you want to act upon this and a'ppoint tonight? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Do we have the position? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yesr we have the position. It's been posted. 21. 22. 23. FEBRUARY l~i, 1984 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I have a problem in that I have what i would consider would be a conflict on this and that's going to eliminate--in that his wife works for me. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Do you want to wait until Jay is here. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Yes, we can't vote on this as far as I'm concerned, because I can't vote on it. I certainly support the individual, but I can't vote. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We will table Number 20. Number 21 is a proclamation. I. brought it over to BOCES myself yesterday.

Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Supervisor Murphy, WHEREAS, the firm of Holzmacher, McLendon & Murrell, P.C. (H2M) has conducted an extensive study within the counties of Nassau and Suffolk to ascertain the causes for a high amount of lead found in the water supply systems in many homes in said counties, and WHE-REAS, such study found that the high level of lead was caused by the high content of lead in solder used in the pipe joints in the water supply systems, which findings were confirmed by the independent tests Conducted by the Suffolk County Water Authority, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services', and the Nassau County Department of Health, and WHEREAS, said study by H2M indicated that the high level of lead in drinking water presents a potential health hazard, and recommends that the lead content used in sold for piping for domestic water supply purposes be limited to 0.20 per cent, an~ WHEREAS, Section 905.5 of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevent and State Building Code provides that the lead content shall be limited to 0.20 per cent when it is determined by the authority having jurisdiction that a higher lead content constitutes a health hazard. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 22 FEBURARY 14, 1984 1. That the Town Board does hereby determine that solder used for domestic water systems having a lead content in excess of 0.20 per cent, constitutes a health hazard. 2. That the Building Inspectors of the Town are hereby directed to take such action as they deem necessary to notify all affected persons that the lead content of solder used for water supply purposes is limited to 0.20 per cent. 3. That the Building Inspectors are further' authorized and directed to require that all persons usin9 lead solder joints on piping for water supply systems, upon the completion of such work) certify in writin9 that the lead content of solder used .for such purposes does not exceed 0.20 per cent. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any further questions? We discussed it today. JUSTICE EDWARDS: That means they have to use this solder as of when? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: As of now. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Maybe we should set it up with a date to allow them time to read the notice, or something. Maybe we should make it-- SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Victor has a notice that he is giving out with the building permit. Any new building permits, that's all we could go on now. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: With the new buildings you say? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: But suppose there is a repair that may not require-- I mean, what if somebody makes a repair--what if a general contractor gets a building permit--I think maybe we should have a published notice on this thing. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: How about in the paper? SUPERVISOR MURPHY: How about if we could put something in the paper and also send notice to plumbing suPply houses'. JUSTICE EDWARDS: I'm wondering how difficult it's going to be to obtain this solder. That's an odd-ball size solder'. 50-50 and 95-5 are two popular solders, but 80-20 is going to be something that is hard to come by. I wonder if it is available. 95-5 is, which meets the regulations, but the plumber is going to hate to use it. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I thought we were u~sing that 95-5. You're saying 80-20? JUSTICE EDWARDS: 95-5. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's what we're using, Ray. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: It's-..20 per cent. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Is that 95-5? TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: Which is five per cent. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I don't think so. Are you sure? .05 is five per cent. JUSTICE EDWARDS: ..2 per cent is two tenths of a pe~ cent. It's two tenths of a per cent. If that's it, then you'd have to have 98-2. 98 tin, 2 lead, and you aren't going to find it. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: I don't know. That's what the Building Code says. TOWN CLERK TERRY: It says in everything the same exact way it is printed here. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, any other' questions on it? (No response.) Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Just as an additi0nal comment, it occurs to me that if the stuff isn't available, how can we--maybe we should hold it another two weeks just to determine if the stuff is available so we don't create a practical hardship. Why don't we contact H2M? TOWN CLERK TERRY: It's in everything, it's in H2M's report. And .20, that's Suffolk County Board of Health, 0.20 per ce~t, one fifth of one per cent. FEBRUARY 14~ 1984 23 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: All I guess we'll do that arid : !hat's what everybody recommends, TOWN CLERK TERRY: It's 95 per cent tin, and 5 per cent antemony. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Antemony? No lead at all. So they're saying it's 95 tin and 5 antemony. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: One fifth of one percent. 0..20 per cent and they have one fifth of one per cent lead. So apparently there's practically no lead at ail. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And, 'Joe, before we do it we'll--if we find a problem we'll check with plumbing supply houses-'call up Blackman and find out if this material is commercially o'n the market. Evidentally it is, Riverhead's law, I believe, reads the same way. So I would say go ahead with it, and if it is creating a problem we'll correct it. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 31 is the Wetland decision of Steve Tsontakis on behalf of Thomas and Jacqueline Occhiogrosso. 31.

Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsendr Supervisor Murphy. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That is the end of the prepared and adjusted agenda. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: ! have a few more resolutions. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: What are they, Joe? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: That--one of them has to do with that you be enacted--or maybe you can do this Without a resolution. Write a letter to the master planners and ask them if they are planning to do a recommendation on two-family housing for the Town of Southold. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We don't need a resolution. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: And something I know that Jay Schondebare has been talkin9 about because of the increased amount of paper work, and un- fortunately I won't be here next week, but maybe we could put it on the agenda. To start proceedings to get the Wetlands approvals-~our Town Wet- lands Law--out of the Town Board's hands and into the Board of Trustees' hands. ! think it's something that Paul you talked about in the past, and '1 know that it's something we should address a letter to them to ask them if they would be willing to assume that responsibility. Because it's just a rubber stamp, as far as I'm concerned, what we're doing is rubber stamping their opinions. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I don't know if I agree with you either, l'.ve disagreed with Paul several times on it, and i think we picl~d up, several times, where mistakes were made, and I like the system of the checks, it's one more check to possibly doing something wrong. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I don't know, we picked up one thing that was legally phrased improperly, but I think that if--in my experience here, and that's been two years--we'.ye picked up one thing where there was a recommenda- tion that was in as part of the resolution r which we had to take out because it was a recommendation and not an order, and I would think that if these things were submitted to Bob, we could--! would like their opinion on it anyway, Frank, so if you'd write that letter to them, I would appreciate it. SUPERVISOR MIJRPHY: Yes. To the Trustees? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Right. If you'd iust ask them if they would consider it. You can say it's at my request, or whatever, or at Jay's request, because I know he's interested in it. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Judge Edwards, do you have anything further? JUSTICE EDWARDS: The only thing I have of interest to the Town Board is the Fishers Island Ferry District is going to hold a public hearing regarding the airport contract, I think in the first week of March, when they will get all the Commissioners together and then decide on the lease down there. It will be after our next Board meeting, but they're going to have a public hearing with all interested parties before they come up with a lease on the airport contract. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: All right, would you let us know when it is so if any of the Town Board or the Town Attorney could possibly go over. FEBRUARY 14, 1984 JUSTICE EDWARDS: Maybe Bob would like to sit in on it. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: I think there's any sense in going over. i talked with DuPont and ! suggested to him that they hold a hearing and announce, or make known in the notice, that they have four or five proposals and that they will hold a hearing on them. Now, then I suggested that since it requires the Town Board's approval of any lease~ that after they held a hearing, and after they have looked at the leases, before they have made a decision, they ought to come over and talk to this Board. JUSTICE EDWARDS: One thing; I think it should be known to the Town Board here, that it was brought up by Ed Reeves in his contract, that I think it's ridiculous that the airport manager over there, whoever it may be, charges the Town of Southol~l $2'.50 every time a plane--every time i lancl over there on Town business, anti we own the airport. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: All we're doing is making him richer. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: So i presume that's what the Commissioners are doing. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Well, I would like a letter from the Supervisor that I could read at that hearing, stating the Town Board's posiiion on this. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll get you something. You don't need it until after the next meeting, right? JUSTICE EDWARDS: That's correct. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'll talk with Bob first, and we'll get something. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: What is the position? Are you talking about the landing fees? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes, that we shouldn't have to pay it. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That and plus, as Bob was saying, to discuss that they should come over here or we could go over there, either one. I don't care about that, but we should sit down and discuss the contra~ct. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: ! suggested to him that--to select a person before he even had the hearing, or have a hearing and then select him before--when they have reviewed this after the hearing, then they should come here, and explain to this Board if they have preferences, and why, before they finally make a decision. Because if they make a decision and this Board says, no, it is not good. SUPERVISOR MURPHY; Yes, it looks Silly. Ray, do you have anything further? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing, thank you. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Paul? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Nothing. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I would like to--you don't want to change your mind on voting on the approval of the bills? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just ali of them, except that one. SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay. If anyone in the audience would like to comment? (No responses) I thank you for your patience in spending long hours, and I would like to entertain a motion to adjourn. Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Coundlman Townsend, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 11:05 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
