Both reports on file: with the Town Clerk. Mr. Dean specifibally referred to the
fact that his department replaces approximately 20 street lighting lamps during the
period of one week, and during 1984 six new street lights were installed. He
recommended to the Board the purchase of a new Utility Vehicle, the cost of which
was placed in the 1985: budget, as well as the need for the purchase of additional
new street lights. With respect to the Landfill he stated that over 56,000 Of sand
was sold during 1984:, over 2,200,000' gallons of scavenger waste deposited at the
Landfill between June and December, and since the new Collection Center was
opened in May the compactor trailers were filled with 314 loads. The creation of
the position of Recreation Director was reviewed. The proposed supervisor is to
be by the Town Board and Mr. Dean suggested that the Board might wish to
consider giving the supervisor to him; since so many of the duties fall under the
area of Public Works.

found in James Creek, Town Creek, Orient Harbor, Goldsmith Inlet, Mattituck
Creek and Richmond Creek. He proposes to carry out a survey this spring and
summer through'~the Marine Sciences Research Center to monitdr the local waters
for the appearance of this organism and, through the University Hospital, assay

Southampton (East Hampton), County of Suffolk, to establish a land acquisition
fund and also authorizihg said Town to impose a real property transfer tax with
revenues from said tax to be deposited in'the land acquisi~i0n fund," met a~ t'he
Town Board's request to discuss the proposed legisl'ation. Mr. Thiele described
the legislative intent which is.; the protection and preservation of open space,
significant natural areas, places of special historical or cultural significance, and
the provision of affordable housing, and the creation of land acquisition funds
permit local governments to carry out such purposes. This proposal has been
commonly referred to as the 2% sales tax on the purchase price of real property

exempt from the first $150,000 of the purchase price. Mr. Thiele explained other
provisions of the proposed law and answers various questions posed by the Board.
3:25 P.M. - Mr. Harold Walters, who has maintained a junk yard on his property
at 400 Nakomis Road, Southold, for a number of years, appeared before the
Board to discuss the renewal of his permit. As a result of an inspection of
Mr. Waiters' property in December by the Building Department, and their report
that he has not maintained the conditions for the operation of his junk yard, the
Board decided not to renew his Junk Yard License until he complied with all of
the conditions. Furthermore, back in'August of I984' there were complaints from
neighbors and a letter of non-compliance from the Zoning Board of Appeals on
conditions set forth by that Board, and the recommendation of the Building Depart-
ment that the License be revoked. Mr. Walters now assured the Board that he
has been moving everything out as fast as possible and he is now in compliance.
A letter dated January 4, '1985: from the Building Department confirmed that he
is now in compliance with the conditions for the operation of a Junk Yard. Mr.
Walters was advised that the Board would now authorize the Town Clerk to issue
the license, however, should he fail to maintain his Junk Yard in compliance,
the Board will make every effort to have the license revoked.
3:30 P.M. - Discussion: Harold Reese and Frederick Reese Relief Petition pending
decision (Resolution No. 36 - regular meeting - no action taken)---Application of
Robert Johnsen to renew his temporary trailer permit which was issued in May of
FEBRUARY 5, 1985
121
1984 to house his family which his'h~m~ was reconstructed following a fire, and which
permit expired in November 1984. Mr. Johnsen explained in a letter to the Board
that his home has been reconstructed and he is living in it, but requested an
extension of the permit to April, at which time he plans to move to the modular
home ("trailer") to a vacant parcel in Laurel. It was the Board's decision not to
grant the extension and to notify Mr. Johnsen that he should make arrangements
to remove the trailer from his property as soon as possible and to obtain'the
necessary Building Department permits for doing so.
4:00 P.M. - Community Development Director James C. McMahon met with the
Board to explain Resolution No. 3 - agreement between the County of Suffolk
and Town of Southold for a $10,000 Southold Town Youth Services, Special~
Delinquency Prevention Program Grant, and Resolution No. 27- contractual
agreement between the Town and Maryann Fleischman for consulting services
under the aforementioned grant. Mr. McMahon explained that this has been
an on-going grant that began approximately five years ago with the Southold

JUSTICE EDWARDS: The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and Mr. Evans,
who is a lawyer for ~the Ferry Commissioners on Fishers Island, flew down to Florida
to straighten out some problems with our new boat. Things are coming right along.
The boat should be delivered some time in'March. It's being built down in the Gulf
Coast in Florida. Things are progressing well. They should have some pictures
for it possibly in a. couple of weeks. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes. In addition to sitting in on interviews for the
positions on the Conservation Advisory Council and interviews with consultinq firms
interested in preparin9 the Final Grant Application to the New York State Depart-
ment for the proposed Southold Town Waterfront Revitalization Grant, it was really
a full week of meetings. I attended the Code Committee meeting, a meeting of
representatives of the Water Advisory Committee and the Suffolk County Health
Department in relation to the identification of groundwater resources and water
related problems and issues, a meetin9 with Councilman Stoutenburgh in Stony
Brook with the DEC in relation to lundin9 for the CAC and information the STOP
Program, and I'm sure the chairpeople of these respective committees will be report-
ing on these. As Chairperson of the Recreation Committee I am happy to report
that we met on Tuesday the '29th to draft the duty statement which is being sent
to Civil Service for classification and when~this is completed it will'come back to
the Town and the Town will pass a resolution creating the position of Recreation
Director and it looks Ilke Southold Town is on its way to a Town-wide Recreation
Program. On the 31th the newly formed Housing Advisory Committee met. Their
role in Town Government and the importance of the Committee was di.scussed. They
received a great deal of printed background material, also Councilman Townsend
gave a report from the Code Committee on two-family conversions. The importance
of goals and objectives was also discussed and time-frames was stressed. A round-
table discussion followed and it was the feeling of the group that in addition to a
chairperson being elected that also a vice-chairperson and a recorder should also
be elected to this particular Committee. Also discussed is 'the importance of a
liaison from the Planning Board to attend the Housing Advisory Committee meetings.
Yesterday, along with Supervisor Murphy and some of our other Councilpeople, I
had the pleasure of attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony down in Greenport at
the newly completed Adult Care Center and Southold Town should be very proud
in the part that they played to bring this service to our adult, community. Thank
you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Sounds like Jean and I were traveling in the same
boat many times. One thing I wanted to bring up is that I attended the Lonq Island
Fishermans Forum which was held on Friday and Saturday last week and I was quite
pleased with the programs and the demonstrations that they had there. Two of them
FEBRUARY 5~ 1985
t 23
were particularly interesting. One was.~ talk on bu9 .scallop transplant and I know
we have a young Bredemeyer out here's:irOn,the audience who's one of our Trustees
who would be very interested in the concepts that they're taking these very small
scallops and using them for spawner scallops. That's one program. The other one
is that many of our scallops and many of you people have been around and seen
them wash up on the beach by the literally thousands and lost and so they have
a program also of transplanting these before a storm and these are the two concepts
that the State is wrestling with and we're hoping to some day get involved into. I
see Henry Smith, our President, back there who would be interested in this and this
is the type of thing that we've been talking about many times as Trustees, because
we have a tremendous loss in .scallops by storms and if we could prevent that perhaps
maybe pay some people to take them and put them in a different area we'd be rewarded
when they grow. Also I would Ilk6 to report on a meeting that I neglected to report
on last meeting and that was one for the Transportation Committee which I represent
on the west end. Joe Townsend represents the east end. Frank Murphy and I met
with railroad officials because they were contemplating], changing some of the schedules.
Perhaps you'll see this in your local paper. They're going to eliminate the Cutchogue
stop. I was against this proposal, being from Cutchogue, in. the very beginning, but
one of our people, Bob Lehman from Southold, who is on a Commuter Committee,
reported that he. comanches on this train every morning and nobody gets on the
train'and it is literally not used, and so by stopping Cutchogue we're saving the
Town $10/000 in maintenance and making the trips a little shorter and a little
quicker. So I wanted to report to you that there will be no Cutchogue stop and
also Jamesport is being cut out. i'd like to also report sometime ago the Town
Board asked me to check into a wetlands, what was going on with the wetlands
as far as the State 9oes. The State is reviewin9 the maps. When the maps are
completed there will be a hearing this March 19th at 2:-00 'to 7:00 at Stony Brook.
Then the maps will be finalized designating the freshwater areas in our Town and
in all towns on Long Island. After that--and that will:take probably a year or
possibly two to work out--they will then ask whether the Town wants to take over
these wetlands and at that time we will'determine whether we want to be the sole
person for having the say or if we want the State to be involved. So that's where
we are on freshwater wetlands, Frank, which you asked about. The STOP Program.
STOP, S-T-O-P, Stop ThroWing Out Pollutants, is a program your Town is goin9
to be getting into int he spring and as Jean has said we traveled to Stony Brook
to meet with the people there. We met with Ann Lyman who is'coordinating the
program and we are on target as far as all our dates go. They're going to get
us the papers, the permits which we're going to need, they're also going to contact
the hauler. This sounds so simple, but it, can get so complicated. You have to
have a special' hauler, have tO have a special' pl.ace, you have to have special people
to handle these things. The pollutants are home pollutants basically. What a home
pollutant can be it can be anything from an old can of DDT that's sitting in the
garage and you just didn't want to throw it in the dump, you didn't know what to
do with it, you're going to have a place to put it. It can be some degreaser that
you don't want to throw into the ground, but you don't know where to put it, and
we'll have this one day at our Town Dump and it's going to be, as I say, in the
spring. The one thing that was brought up at that time is that farmers might have
a great quantity of old, unused pesticides and we don't want those to get into our
groundwater and rather than make too big a thing of this we're going to have a
special day possibly for the farmers and it was suggested that we get in touch with
the Farm Bureau to see if there's any need for this and we will be contacting them
and they will have their day of special~ collection. The idea being that we're trying
to prevent people from throwing things into the garbage pail Which eventually lands
in our water table, because it does to our Town Dump and eventually percolates
down into it. The last, but not least, is"this Marine Resource meetin9 which again
Jean and I attended. There was some interesting things that came out of it. One
of them we have no. control as to the height of jettie9 or groins alon9 our Bays and
along our Sound. This creates tremendous problems for the next person along side
of whoever puts the jetty or groin'in"and a typical problem such as Goldsmith and
individual homeowners can be found throughout our Town, and it was suggested
there that in our Revitalization Plan, our Waterfront Revitalization Plan, which we're
getting involved in, we can put this into it and it will 9ire us that control which we
have never had before. A groin is a wood object, or stones out into the water to
prevent the drift of sand moving past a person's house. In other words it captures
that sand. The idea being it builds the person's beach up. If it's put too big or
too high it stops all the transplant of the sand and therefore the person on the
other side is robbed. If they are kept Iow enough they fill up, spill over and the
person down the beach still gets his share of the sand. We have never been able
to control that in our Town and we will be able to and they suggest that we can
do it through this. So if nothing else we gained a little bit each time we go to
these meetings. That's about it.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Thank you, Frank. You're all fortunate that I had
a few cancellations this week. There was a scheduled Farmland Preservation
meeting and they cancelled. I think because they're waiting for some more details
from the appraisers of farmland. That was scheduled for the end of last week and
I think they've moved it up to the 14th of this month. I also talked to Custer
Institute about some problems that they are concerned with and that was cancelled.
It was on a Saturday night and they cancelled that because of bad weather. I did
go, as Jean pointed out, to the Housincj Advisory Committee, as a member of that
Committee and also as a member of'the Code Committee. The Code Committee met
and tried to put to rest the matter of horses on auxiliary lots, which sounds like
a rather obscure and unimportant matter, but it 'took quite a few hours to work
out. We were going to deal with horses on lots that are independently situated.
We came to some conclusion and we also modified that horses as an ,accessory use
to residential areas. The Police Committee met. There's going to be an item on
the agenda tonight adding some. policemen, it will be interesting to see how many
we add, but we interviewed the potential candidates, there were eight candidates
and they were all very, very well qualified. I was very impressed with all the i'~'~
candidates. It's the old story, sorry you have to choose one or two or three or I~
four, but we have some good. candidates and I think even--and we basically agreed ,
on who we are going to hire, it's just we have to discuss how many we're going to
send to .school. I've been working on a project with two groups, the Trust for
Public Land and the Peconic Land Trust to try to preserve some property in Southold
Town through bargain sales. I haven't progressed too far along that area and haven't
even brought it up to the Town Board yet, but looks' like we might be able to acquire
some property, waterfront, and at no cost to the taxpayers which would be--or at
least preserve some scenic easements which would be certainly beneficial to the Town.
I guess that's about all I have to report.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Joseph. As you could see the Councilmen have
been very busy. Jay Schodebare has equally been busy, in fact he's working with
the Town Attorney in the back now. i would just like to make a couple comments on
several of the things. One, before Paul. came on the Board the Town Board did
partake and work with the Baymen in a scallop transplant about three years ago
after a very bad story, and it worked very well and I think as Paul realizes, we
should be doing this; as he mentioned. As Jean mentioned about the Day Care
Program that was started, we had the County Executive out yesterday and this is
a fantastic program. It's one that Southold Town could be very proud of. We
Could be very proud of our entire Nutrition Program. We're probably the first in
the County. We've come in first on various competitions for cjrants. We're just
getting the grant in'conjunction with the Day Care Center and with the Floyd
Memorial Library in Greenport, to get equipment for these people in'this program
so that it's not a baby sitting, it'S .almost a learning experience and really a health
program and very unique. It's brand new in the State and I have great exp~¢-~!io~!
· . . .... :~ ,
for It and wou~d just publ.cly like to thank Vee McKe~ghan who runs al of our
Nutrition and Day Care Programs in the Town. J think she really is doing a fantastic
job. The other night last week I turned on the switch for better Cablevision for
Southo~d Town and it's a long time coming. It started with Bill Pell and Marry Lang
and Ann Dalton from the Cablevisi0n Commission in New York and this is the final
results of it. We ended up with what I feel is a very, very good contract. We're
getting a complete rebuild of the television system--Cable TV System--in Southold
Town. They are starting to sell the program on the west end of the Town. They're
ready for hook-ups to change over from the old service to the new. What I've seen
of it it's been fantastic~ The company has a complete change of attitude. This
month they're instituting a new phone service similar to you would get in reservations
for airlines and all that where you're not just left ringing or you're not just left
hanging in the dark corner waiting for someone to answer. These people are getting
professional. They know the need for good cable TV if they're going to spend 16
million dollars on the east end in new equipment and all they want to get the best
number of customers they can possibly get and they are working very hard for that.
Very please because when I first came on the .Town Board four years ago this was
the biggest concern in the Town and it really was a problem and I'm very happy to
see that it'~ coming to an end, that we are getting our rebuild in Southold Town
actually ahead of schedule and they're really doing very well.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Can I say something about that? We have also the
manager just bought a house in Southold Town so we can really grab ahold of him
we need him. So I think it does show though that they expect to be available.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And they are really part of the community. They were up
yesterday offering their services to Vee and her entire program. This is what we
like. I would like to ask Jay Bredemeyer if he would mind--we've had a very bad
problem in Arshamomaque Creek and Mattituck Inlet. They've been closed. We
thought they were probably the cleanest waters in:the world and we had great
expectations, we had a Clam Seed Program in Arshamomaque Creek that was really
going very well and then all of a sudden the DEC came along and closed the creek
and it is quite serious. The Town Board has budgeted quite a bit of money to
correct this situation this year and Jay Bredemeyer and Henry Smith and the rest
of the Trustees have made a commitment that they will work with the Town Board
and come up with a program I think that really will help us and hope to clean up
these creeks and Jay had presented a report to the Town Board and I would like
to ask him to give it 'to us now personally.

TOWN TRUSTEE JOHN BRED EMEYER :' It. ell started out with the meeting I had
with the Board to describe some of"t~e~;~§~i~g and where we stood back in
December and subsequently I felt that we needed some more exacting directions,
so with letters that were sent to the Suffolk County Department of Health and
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation we-secured responses
to them and with those in light of my initial recommendation to try to get some of
the drainage routed away from the pond where surface runoff was seemingly a
major contributor I was able to develop some specifiC recommendations with respect
to testing and a course of action I feel we could start working on. The first
thing was that Mr. Gordon C01vins of the DEC- appointed Mr. James Redman and
Stephen Hendrickson as advocates for the Town to secure wetlands permits from
the DEC so that they would be working with us directly to try to expedite the
permit process so that if there are any structures or any public works necessary
up there to re-route the drainage that we could expect to get permits in an
expeditious manner and the recommendation in light of that was to try to do
something with the drainage area which is right next to the Shiloh Baptist Church
off of the County Road there. Second item was that after doing some research
with the help of the Health Department I found that we can check for, certain
gross discharges using a black light of a certain wave length and we can go
directly out there and look for gross discharges if there may be any into the
surface waters. Pve requested the Bay Constable to accompany me at night to
do this because we have to do it in the hours of darkness. It's not likely there
are any discharges from houses into the creek because the wate~ clarity is such
that all the Baymen and both personnel from the Health Department and the DEC
have already noted during their 'sampling runs, but this would be just another
area to look at to make sure. The Health Department Laboratory indicated to
myself and Dr. Nuzzi'of that Department that they would be able to perform
fecal strep testing on a limited number of samples before the summer season
when their:laboratory facilities are particularly stressed, and they also indicated
the possibility of running a test which is known as the "Mug" test, which is an
acronym for the rather long word MethylumbelIiferyI-B-D-glucuronide, which is
a media additive used in microbiology. It's experimental and it will give a more
direct reading on E$cherichia coli, which is one of the coliform group bacteria;
It. can give a direct reading on that so it is my recommendation to the Town to
purchase a small amount of this media aid which the County Health Lab will'be
will:lng to use.. The reason the County Health Lab and DEC don't have this
media presently is 'because it'~ of a research and experimental nature and it's
not certified for use in their'regular regulatory programs, so it's not something
they could regularly supply. The four recommendation was to request Mr. Redman
of the DEC's Shellfish Unit to perform the completed coliform tests which i had
described to you all when I met with you in December and he indicated to me in
personal communication he might be able to run a few every week, because he
regularly can run them when he checks his own test procedures using them and
it was my hope here that we could secure additional completed coliform testing
to give us a background rate if there were any false/positive or false/negative
tests that I had spoke about. This, combined with the Mug tests and the fecal
strep testing, we would be able to develop a fingerprint, it is a very complex
situation because there is no imperical way, there's no one single test to use to
find out where or what the source of pollution may be. Then the fifth recommenda-
tion, which was more or less a combination of some of these items, was that a
short study be completed with the DEC and the Health Department cooperating
together in it based on what I felt were their commitments that we could secure
from them and that basically-that the. testing be carried out on an approximately
four to six week period, with samples being, collected once a week at ten to twelve
stations that those agencies would agree on mutually and run these various
bacteriological tests on to get a handle on what in fact may be happening there.
The final recommendation was that we have some sort of a committee to report
results then to the Town Board, hopefully including people that might be
knowledgable or have interest because the Trustees meeting once a month puts
a tremendous delay in the time that I could get information analyzed, reported
out to the Trustees and then get it out to the Town Board we're going to talk
about trying to open this creek for claming later in the year or even a conditional
opening it's going to take a fairly rapid:handling of data as we get it. And that
was, in essence, the report that I had made to the Trustees which you have
before you right now.
SUPER~VISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. Does any Town Board member have any
questions of Jay? (No response.) Anyone in the audience? (No response.)
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Any kind of a timetable on starting on this, Jay?
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: My only recommendation would have been as soon as ice
breaks up as possible because some of the highest coliform counts that were received
last year in the DEC were right after ice break up. Apparently when the ground is
frozen it tends to shed off surface water more quickly so that the information we're
looking for probably the data could be collected very quickly on and the sooner the
better because then corrective action can be tailored to meet the needs.
,39.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: When would you need this material you need
that'you want to buy?
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: The Mug media 'would have to be ready when the
bacterial sampling would commence.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Is that springtime you're talking--ice break up?
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Yes, we're talking about maybe the end of this month
if the ice breaks up. Maybe we're talking about the beginning of March. The
actual performing of these tests, of course, should be confirmed by the agencies
that I spoke with and more or less firmed up so we know where we really stand.
If we can get this testing done, which I believe my, communications with all parties
involved that they can handle it at this 'time, we should not need to secure add ti°n!i
expensive bacteriology at this point of the creek. You may find that we need more
of it 'depending on what we get from these test results and when you talk with the
people in DEC and Health Department you find that they have extremely limited
capabilities for running anything but their mandated State programs that they've
got going now. This 'is getting into an area not strictly in keeping with what their
mandate is.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Next meeting we can take care of it?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, I think so. Jay, do you have a source of supply
where we could buy this material?
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Yes, I have attached reference material to the report
that you received and it gives the company source there so that it, could be checked.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And how about the amounts?
TRUSTEE BREDEMEYER: Yss, the amount necessary would be a gram quantity and
pricing is also lis~ed on this and would have to be checked because I'm not sure
how new this particular brochure was.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, we could do that. Thank you, Jay. I would just
like to comment that it really is--it makes my job much easier when we have everybc~'~,j
working together and I think this is a tremendous example of the various departn~er~
in the Town, as yesterday when we had our opening of the Day Care it was
of many, many people in' the Town, County and State government that bring~:i;~se
things about and it :really is rewarding to know that there are dedicated people and
they will work together. I would just like to go off the prepared agenda and I'll
just mention the reason, we have a consultant who came out here today, made a
trip out in-the storm to firm up some points, some questions that the Town Board
had on a resolution that was going to be presented tonight. These people have to
leave, they would like to see the results of the resolution. They have a meeting
early tomorrow' morning in Connecticut and they've goti I think, a very tough trip
going back to ConnecticUt. ! appreciate them coming out here and we'll extend them
the courtesy of--I would like someone to offer the .39th Resolution tonight at this
time. Jay, would you?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: 1'11 read it, Frank. Likewise I called these people
up at 4:.00 o'clock yesterday afternoon and asked them to come on out here today.

Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number, 9 is to transmit a proposed Local Law.
Moved by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Supervisor Murphy,
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold
a proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law to amend the Zonin9 Code in relation
I:o dwelling unit density," now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Clerk be and she hereby is authorized and directed to
transmit this proposed Local Law to the Southold Town Planning Board and Suffolk
County Department of Plannin9 in accordance with the Code of the Town of Southold
and the Suffolk County Charter. Said proposed Local Law reads as follows, to wit:
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
(additions indicated by underline; deletions by [brackets[).
I. Section 100-'116 of the Zoning Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended
to read as follows:
Section 100z116. Dwelling unit "density.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, each dwelling uni.t in a
multiple dwelling shall have [nine] twenty thousand ;[9,00'0]-20,000 square feet
of land for each dwelling unit in the building where public water End public
sewer are nos provided, and shall have [six] ten thousand [five hundred
(6,500)] (10,'000') square feet of land for each dwelling unit in the building
where public water and public sewer are provided.
11. This Local Law shall take effect upon its filing with the Secretary of State.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Basically this is a short law. What it does is further
reduce the density of "M" Zones. Those zo'nes are the kind of zo~nes that you'd
have multi-family housing in~, condominiums, motels, hotels. In the past the most
you could have without sewer and water was four units per acre and this reduces
that to two and if they do have sewer and water it reduces it to four units per
acre. So basically I think the Town Board's a little concerned with the number of
units that we're getting in these areas that were zohed "M-I" and we're trying to
slow down the increase of density to those areas.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions?

RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby authorizes Community
Development Administrator James C. McMahon to attend a two-day conference on March
12 and 13, 1985 on "Affordable Ho,using Alternatives for Long Island,", co-sponsored by
the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Long Island Commu-
nity Development Organization and hosted by Citibank at Scranton, Pennsylvania~ at

31 .-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: CouncilWoman Cochran, Councilman Schondebare,
Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I think that should go for an honorable mention, "at
no cost to the Town of Southold for hotel .accomodations, meals and transportation."
He's not going there on his own.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No, I believe a bank is picking up the cost. And this is
going out to Pennsylvania to see manufactured homes.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Okay.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 32 is to crea:te police officer positions.
32.
Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby creates two (2)
new Police Officer positions.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Presently there is one, so we would now have room for three
people to attend the school.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: A little discussion on the issue. I have a question. By
creating two police positions we're going to have a total of three vacant positions.
Since we don't have three vacancies--assured vacancies, but will more probably have
two vacancies in' the near future I would go for creating one additional position and
then sending those two guys to school and if the third one shows up in the next six
months or so, if 'we need a third position we can send one of the other applicants
that's already had the schooling.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You donIt have to fill.' these as we have one position open
now. It's just to create the slot for Civil Service.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: The temptation might be overwhelming.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any other questions? (No response.)
32.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Cochran, Councilman Schondebare,
Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Murphy. No: Councilman
Townsend.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.

This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 34 I think we should do 34(a) and 34(b). 1'11
read the first one.
34.
(a)
Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilman Schondebare, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby state their official
position on the following point: The Southold Town Board is unwilling to condemn
the necessary land needed to develop a new Town-owned airport if such land is not
available for purchase.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Question, Frank. We know what's basically going to
happen because we di.scussed it somewhat this'morning, but I just want to make
sure the Town Board knows what they're doing here. I think the vote was--we
discussed the fact that we wouldn't be able to--at this point you cannot stop this
study or so you've been informed.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This 'is one of the questions that have to be answered before
the study could be finalized.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Okay, but the study has to be finalized?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: The entire study?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Phase I and Il.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Okay, I just want to be sure we're, clear on things.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: So the study has to be finalized. The purpose of the
study is to determine if there is a need I assume, among other things, in the Town
for an airport. If the study determines that there is a need and if the Town decides
to build an airport, and it would appear to me that this Board is not willing to do
that, to be frank, at the moment, and [ think there's been significant evidence they're
not. Suppose they establish a need. You're saying that the Town, in the interest
of the population, should not condemn property. Suppose the best site was located
in an area where ~ there are as few people as possible, that was much better for
the safety and wellbeing of the Town and yet that owner' would not selkhis property.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's exactly what f Said;
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND:
have a need -for an airport,
protect---
And yet we have a need for an airport, assuming we
You're giving up the right for the Town ,actually to
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: This Town Board.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Yes, I know, I know. It seems to me ....
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's what I read, Joe.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Condemnatioi~ versus private property is a very
philosophical one---
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: But if the Town gives up its right of condemnation
you're basically saying, "Okay, somebody can hold a gun to your head."
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: No, we're saying at this point was the Town willing
to condemn necessary land. --- At this time.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Do you have any other comments, Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anybody else, any comments? (No response.)
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: It's not smart for negotiating.
34.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Cochran (under present circumstances),
(a) Councilman Schondebar~, Councilman Stoutenburgh, Supervisor Murphy. Noes: Justice
'Edwards, Councilman Townsend.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.

(b)
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'd like to offer 34(b).
Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilman Schondebare, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby state the offici'al
position on the following point: The Southold Town Board is unwillinq to condemn
the existin9 Mattituck Airport to develop it as the Town-owned airport if it is not
available for purchase.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions on it? (No response.) I might say, and make
a comment on this whole study. I don't think everybody has really understood why
the Town Board has to go through with this study. This came about many years ago
and it's in. conjunction with the Master Plan for the State Department of Transportati_~
for their overall plannin~ for other methods of transportation and one that the Town~!~ ~!!i
entered into an agreement with the State and the FAA and we have an obhgat.on to
finish the study and possibly at the end of Phase I and II the. Town at that point
could make a decision to either continue on with the study or stop at that point.
Any other questions?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I think the first question to condemn any necessary
land, you're dealing with an unknown party. Here in number 2 it's very specific.
Are you willing to condemn Parker Wickham's Airport? Very simple.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any other questions? (No response.)
34.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Cochran (underipresent circumstances),
(b) Councilman Schondebare, Councilm~n Stoutenburgh, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor
Murphy. No: Justice Edwards.

COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Well, it's down for granted. If we don't pass it on

COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yeah, I have. Just a minQte. Why wasn't that

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: it was budgeted. It's as to take' out of Federal Revenue

COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yeah, but it wasn't budgeted on any line item.
Did you intend to take it out? The prior Town Board intend to take it out?

gentlemen that rode out today to square away this permit (Soil Removal Permit
decision - Brewer Yacht Yard at Greenport, Inc.---The first resolution.) This is
FEBRUARY 5~ 1985
143
the end of the prepared and added~on "ag'enda. I would like at this time to ask
any of the Councilmen if they have.an¥i~.hi.~9.furt~her to say. Starting on my right,
Jay? (Nothing, Frank.) Joe? (No.) P-aui? (Yes.)
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I'd like to suggest that our minutes (agenda)
have an "Old Business" section preceeding the regular agenda. The reason for
this beinq that we discuss many thinqs at 'our Work Session and if 'they're taken
care of during the next period between the Board meetings the public does not
know what's happening to these particular problems. If nothing was done it would
act as a reminder to clear up many of the problems at our next meeting. At any
rate, the public should be informed of what's going on and how it was taken care
of. I just ask that to be considered and perhaps maybe to be discussed at our
next Work Session and I've had some support with other members of the Board and
we feel that this should be part of our agenda so that we could be kept abreast of
what's going on. We think some things are being forgotten and I Can't give you
any. specific~things right now, but that's my feeling on it. The next one is we
have a piece of property offered to us, seven or eight hundred feet of waterfront
property on Mattituck Inlet which I'm concerned that something's going to happen
to the donor and we will;lose this and I would like to have again something on our
agenda of next meeting that we take a Quit Claim Deed to this property at our
next meeting.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It will"be done.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Okay.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Paul spoke to me about the old minutes---
TOWN CLERK TERRY: He's saying on the minUtes. The minutes are verbatim and
this cannot be incorporated in:the minutes. The agenda is the place for this.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Paul asked me about this~-yes, the agenda, and I
supported him. I think because ....
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll see if'we can work up an Off Agenda work sheet.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: That would be something because I'm sitt'ing here
going back to my old notes and I realize' that we talked about this and then it got
lost along the way.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: lt"s a very good point.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: And we don't bring it back up again.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Very good point.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: So Paul brought it up and I agree with him, We
should have something about old business.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Jean? (Nothing, thank you.) Judge Edwards? (Nothing,
thank you.) Okay, at this point I would lik~ to ask if:there's anyone in the audience
that would like to address the Town Board. Starting over here. Anyone in the
middle? Yes, sir.
RICH BECKLEY, East Marion: I want to just. clarify something on the condemnation
issue once again. If there's a strong enough need for any project in the Town of
Southold you say you would not condemn property, is that correct?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: At the present time, yes.
MR. BECKLEY: Even if there is a strong enough need, no matter what the issue is?
Besides the airport.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: That's not what it says.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's not what it says, sir.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: The resolution says, "The Southold Town Board is
unwilling to condemn the necessary land needed to develop a new Town-owned
airport if'such land is not available for purchase." Now, it says to condemn the
necessary land needed to develp a new Town-owned airport. It doesn't say in here
that the Town needs an airport. It says the necessary land needed to develop an
airport. There's nothing that says that the Town needs an airport.
MR. BECKLEY: So since it's an airport issue, whether it's been proved invaluable
or not, you won't condemn it?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: That's not what the resolution requires. It simply
says are we willing to condemn land to have a Town-owned airport? It doesn't say
if we decide the Town needs an airport are we willing to condemn land. Ail this
simply says is are willing to condemn land to an airport.
MR. BECKLEY: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else in the middle?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Need is'not shown and it's not in the resolution.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: On the right?
MR. BECKLEY: Why did you condemn something?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: The DOT asked us.
Just for the hell of it?
BARBARA KUJAWSKI: I'm here to speak a little bit about the Recreation Program.
There's a couple questions I'd like to ask and ltd lik~ to start to say b'~ last March
I came to your office and ask that there are concerned parents about a Recreation
Program for all children and as a matter of fact senior citizens. You thought it
would be a good idea. in May you asked me to come up with a proposal of a program
for handicapped people, how we could mainstream them into a regular program with
the normal population, which my group did. Nothing happened all summer and in
September you had a meeting with concerned people of Southold Town to find out
~vhat their needs would also be. The only thing that gainfully happened since then
is that you've come up with a draft for a Recreation Director. My first question is,
what's taking so long for this Recreation Program to come off the ground?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: First of all it has to be funded and secondly we have to
go through Civil Service. We have to have a job description and i would like to
comment that the Town Board did fund, where it 'wasn't budgeted, special~ funding
for swimming instructions for handicapped children last year. We did not do nothing.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: Well, I had a lot of hand in that swimming program. Sometimes
I think if I Wasn't there it might have not got off the ground. That's my feeling.
Second of all I was told that as of January Ist, 1985' that there was funding for
a Recreation Program.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's true.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: Okay. Next question is 'is there any programs coming shortly
for anyone? Is there any kind of programs at all since the funding is already there~
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Unfortunately sometimbs the .wheels of government move
more slowly than we'd like to see, Barbara, 'and we do have a process that we have
to go through and we were investigating and we found out, both through legal
counsel and from Civil Service that the job must be a Civil Service positiof~. The
committee has met and you have to draw up this duty statement saying what you
want this person--what their responsib~litie§ in'their job--more or less a job description
of what they'll be doing. Then the Town Board~-it ;was given to them and they'll be
reviewing it. Then it 'has to be sent back to Civil Service and then .they. classify it.
Then after it's classified it comes back to the Town Board and we have to pass a
resolution to create the job. So you can see there's lot of little things and we just
ask you please be a little bit :more patient. The money .is in the budget. As soon as
we can get this person on board, believe me we'll be giving him one hundred percent
support to get this thing moving as it should be.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: we just couldn't simply--we were going to advertise
and then we were going to have interviews and appoint someone and then we found
out Civil Service comes in and that was the end of it. The next thing you know
we're drawing up job descriptions and everything else and that's what happened to
MRS. KUJAWSKI: Do you think there will be any programs in 85?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Definitely, yes.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Definitely.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: I'm the representative of Parents and Teachers of Special
Children.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I realize' that.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: They're coming Go me and I keep saying I hear nothing and
that's what i just wanted to ask. If anything comes up, is there any way that
one of us, as part of this group, could be told of what's happening?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'd be g]~d~to,'c~O,6i~erate with you.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: Okay.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I believe Mr. Tasker summed it up very well when we were
asking if we Could by-pass the Civil Service, he said you could call a duck anything
you want, but it's still a duck, so we have to abide by Civil Service rules and
regulations, i might also say that the Town has instituted a Handicap Advisory
Committee to advise the Town Board mainly on Town-owned facilities at the present
time, .accessibility, availability to handicapped people of all types and this is 'working
very well. We've had three meetings and I'm very pleased with the self-evaluation
that has been' accomplished. I think we could accomplish quite a bit along this line
with this Handicapped Committee. Anyone else care to address the Town Board?
VALERIE CARDONA, Southold: i too am with the Parents and Teaches of Special'
Children on the North Fork- and I've been working as an advocate for the handicapped
for a number of years. Barbara asked a question about a Recreation Program for us
and of course we are very much aware of the wheels of progress and when we think
of where the handicapped has come in the past twenty years, they've made more strides
You say that there are
in twenty years than they've done in'the past two thousand.
Civil Service requirements and regulatio~s.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: For this'position of---
MRS. CARDONA: For the position of a Recreation Director.
Okay. What other
regulations are there that we would have to meet before we could begin this program?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Basically that's it. In order to hir~ a person.
MRS. CARDONA: Okay. Somebody that would be able to take the proposals that
was presented to the Board and be able to fulfill them.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Full-,time person, that's what we're looking for.
MRS. CARDONA: A full-time person.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: That's what we're going to hire, a full-time person.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And I might say the Board would be happy to take any
proposals at any time, even while we're in:the process of trying to bring this person
on board.
MRS. CARDONA: At what salary?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We're not sure yet.
MRS. CARDONA: You are not at all sure,? The requirements, the Civil Service
requirements for this job description, what grade level would that be?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We're not sure, yet.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: We could give you a. copy of the job description.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We have the job description.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: We have a duty statement.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We don't have any grade levels in the Town either.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: We don't have anything back from them.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: They're going to take it,' the job description that
we have listed, they're going to read it and from that they're going to decide what
classification it falls in to.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: And we set the salary.
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: And then they tell us who's on the list. We'll call
for the local list to see if anyone locally is on a local list, if they have a local list.
MRS. CARDONA: There was a young woman, very dynamic---
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: She was sitting in/the second row when we had the
