these things.. I,d: like ? thank Tom Wickham for giving us two years of

this he has enlisted 'the help of many people, and put together the
legislative puzzle that is necessary, His energy and commitment has been
outstanding. We have just begun to reap the benefits of the work he has
done. I would like to encourage the new administration not to leave the
fruits of his labor~ in the trees, but to join us in finishing the job.
Personally it has been a privilege to serve with a man of his
intelligence and integrity.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: -I-think everybody knows Joe, and he is just a
wonderful person to have as a colle.ague on the Board, together with
Ruth, and everyone else who ! have had the pleasure of serving with me
on the Board. Thank you, John. I'll take these home, and I'll be
pleased to have them. It is the usual practice of the Board to summarize
very briefly the Work Session that we had. We began at 9:~00 o'clock this
morning, and we ended about 3:30 this afternoon. Most of the matters
that we took up in Work Session are on for resolution today along with a
whole slug Of budget modifications, that are due at the end of the year.
There.were two issues, that I thought the audience might be particularly
interested in. One of them has to do with a computer .upgrade study that
we've commissiOned for the town. A proposal that has been. made that
would enable the town to upgrade the computer system here~ to better
support the word processing options, the data processing options> and
what is called the geogr, aphic information system. The geographic system
being a system 'that ~vill actually map any part of the .tOwn, You just
press a few buttons on'the computer, it will print different

Board to act .upor year, but I'.~th~nk will i set:the

V. RESOLUTIONS.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I think you have copies of the agenda, that
were outside the door>'., and at this time I'd like to call on members of
the audience, if they would like to address the Board on any one or more
of these resolutions, that are before us today. They are, most of them,
rather straight forward budget modifications which call for squaring the
budget by. the .end of'the yea.r., so that we take from lines of the budget
that are ~n surplus to fill hnes that are in temporary deficit as we
reach the very. end of the year. If I don't hear of any further comments,
I'd like to call upon the Board to ~tart reading our resolutions, and
then we're going to recess at about five o'clock for a public hearing.

SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: That concludes the resolutions that are on our
agenda today with the exception of one. We may take up a resolution at
the end of the public hearing to act on the matter, that is brought to us
through the public hearing. The public hearing is scheduled to start at
five o'clock. I'd like to defer a discussion on the public hearing until
five o'clock, in case there are people who still plan to come to that,
and I'd like to open the meeting ~ust now to comments from the audience.
If there are any people, who would like to address the Board on any
matter of your concern, but please, keep your comments to a limit of five
minutes, and we will entertain those comments until five o'clock. Then
we'll go into a recess for the public hearing. Is there anyone who would
like to address the Board on any matter of your interest at this time?
Yes, sir, Mr. Gammon?
ECEMBER 27, 995 I 19
BOB GAMMON: Bob Gammon, Laurel, New York. Just one thing
occurred to me with all .of these resolutions, that were just passed on.
As Ruth pointed out'a lot of them were just trivial things, for just
$1.50, or whatever it happen to be. But, could you tell me how much the
budget is overdrawn in total this year?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: It was not overdrawn. On the contrary..
BOB GAMMON: Then why do we have to have these resolutions?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Let me try to explain. We have more of these,
as Ruth implied we have more of these now than we did before. We had a
very broad general budgetary framework previously, and those budget
lines basically apply to a whole department. Within the last year and a
half we've adopted another level of detail that provides budgets within
each department for sub-categories. By State Law the Town can not
exceed it's spending of any category or subcategory, so if any one of
those subcategories is over, even though it's surplus in another category
we've go to pull in officially by a vote from where it's in surplus to
fill out the ones that are in deficit.
BOB GAMMON: Did we have a surplus this year?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Yes.
BOB GAMMON: We did? How much was that?
SUPERVISOR W.ICKHAM: Oh, it was substantial. It was on the order of
six or eight hundred thousand dollars. The primary reason for that...
BOB GAMMON: Are'we going to get a tax break?
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: You have gotten a reduction in your taxes in
this year on the State level. It's five o'clock. Do I hear a motion to
recess for a public hearing?
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it
was
RESOLVED that a recess be called at this time, 5:00 P.M., for the
purpose of holding a public hearing.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva,
Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Wickham.
This resolutions was duly ADOPTED.
Meeting reconvened at 5:09 P.M.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We will resume the regular part of our meeting.
Would someone on the Board llke to move Resolution ~k~l?

just what o~ RIstuccla said. You must have had my script, Joe. The
thing is, tho"Ugh, i.. would also like to say that in your tenure what was
observed, at least by me, and I'm sure by many others, was the fact
that you did come through with the openness in government, which you
talked about earlier. Number two, you've really given us a awful lot of
professionalism on this Board, and also, in a way that you helped to
educate people as to what the topic was. You bent over backwards to
give it to us from every side, and as Joe just said, the other part is
civility that was brought out here within the last couple of years. The
civility of people working together, which is not apparent, apparently on
the National ~level, the State level, even the County level. This town
seems to have now lead the. way, and for that we have to be grateful to
you, and you're Whole Board, and we know that it will continue under

JUSTICE EVANS: I haven't had the opportunity to publicly tell you how
much I appreciated working with you, Tom. I think it was a excellent
opportunity for me. It was very much a pleasure to work with a man of
your caliber, and I think that you set examples for the town, that I
trust the new administration will work to live up to, and try to follow
your example. ! thank you for all those examples.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you, Louisa.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I just have one. There was an editorial in the
paper last week about Lauren Grant's compensatory time. It just said
that two Board members fought valiantly, they voted, just no, during
this past Tuesday night's Town Board meeting, to prevent the United
SoU~hold Board members for approving what is considered to be a bogus
request for overtime pay by Wickham's Executive Assistant Lauren
Grant. I'd just like to read you a resolution, that we adopted on May 31,
199~,~. Resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby
grants the below list .of employees the following contract benefits, leave
time, compensatory time, health insurance, retirement, and longevity,
excepted salary increases, as the employees, and the CSEA collective
bargaining unit, and included the Town Attorney, the Confidential
Secretary to the Supervisor, the Exempt Secretary, at the time, to the
Town Attorney, Senior Accountant, and Deputy Superintendent of
Highways. I would just like that paper to get the facts straight, if
they're going to Print them. Thank you.
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I'm sorry your brought that up, Ruth. We
almost ended the year without any problem. The problem was not that
resolution. The problem was the fact, that the usual time sheets that
everybody else hands in, had not been handed in, and when they were
handed in, they were late, and from my observation inaccurate. That was
where the problem lies.

HCKHAM: I'd like to make just a couple of very brief
se to the generous comments, that have been made
3't have a prepared statement. I just have a few
would like to make, reflecting on what has been six
in the Town of Southold, the last three years
: first three years as a Town Board member, which is
ye, essentially a part-time position. First of all,
)f of you know me as an engineer, as a farmer, and
rson, who has tried to solve problems in a sort of
it means you identify what the problem is. You try
,to solve it, and address it, the way an engineer, or
.fy to do in a rather, practical manner. That's sort
tried to bring to Town government. It's worked in
worked so well in other cases, but that's more or
:that I came to when I to. ok this position, and when
There was several prior~ties, that have driven me,
nt to me from the very beginning, and some of you
Iht, and I would just like to kind of review them
been important to me, and I think they will be
as it takes office next month, i'11 just
because to me those three sort of encapsulate the
Town needs to continue to give attention. The
s no order of priorlties exactly, but the first one
the open quality to Southold Town. It would be

attractive landscape, that I think all of us recognize as part of the
town. While saying that we can not stop development, and those of us,
and I'm foremost among them, who want to preserve farmland, and
preserve this rural quality, have to understand that development is going
to continue out betel We couldn't stop it, if we wanted to, and frankly,
you shouldn't. What we- should try to dd is to contro our development, ;co

conclusion, no one is indispensable. A lot of political people like to
think that they're indispensable, i've had a history. Some of you who
know me, I've worked for some years overseas as a professional engineer,
and manager. I've worked for some years farming. I've been here for
six years. I like to change. I like to do different things. I'm looking
forward to that change. I think I'd be uncomfortable if ! wore here for
too long a stretch.. Fir j~ like to express my appreciation
and thanks to those pi a great pleasure to work with.
! don't have to say th the people, .Joe Townsendr Louisa Evans, and
Ruth Oliva, who came to office with me, as Supervisor, two years ago,
have been an enormous pleasure in all respects. The whole Town Board
has been a pleasure for me. I've enjoyed it. i've enjoyed trying to bring
a consensus of a~ll the different views, and the coml~lexity, and sometimes
opposition of views, I think that's healthy, and I've actually enjoyed
it. But, I particularly enjoy the four people who I worked with. We've
spent almost no time caucusing, planning, figuring out how to present
our stuff to the Board, and in a sense we didn't have to, because
basically the four of us look at things differently. We voted, but we
virtually came to it with the same ,point of view of what will work best
for the town. We can count on Louisa to take a rather conservatlve point
of view. We Can count on Ruth to worry: more about the environment, and
the concerns, on that side. But, I think all of us.. and Joe we can count
on as ~ creati e person, and not knowing quite where he's
going
I have to say
from the Board probably more satisfa~ction as' Supervisor in
working with Town ees. As I said, there's some two hundred
employees in this town. Ohe of them is sitting at-the end of the table
here. She's been a great~ pleasure to work with, as Town Attorney. The
Town Clerk, of tour;se, is: an elected official, and many in this building.
I've gotten my kicks out Of working, closely with them, in particular the
department heads, who, in turn, work with their people. This is what
has given me 'ye enjoyed very much. I think the level of
professionalism important. I think it's gained somewhat,
and I step years, with some satisfaction looking back.,
and with a tabs on what's happening here, Jean and
others, and sense of knowledge of wl~at!s going on, to be
available, if ti and an iopportuntty for me. Now, I'm afraid
I've stepped up to at least those five' mlnutesr and don't want to over
speak my time. So, it's a pleasure to be with you, and see you here
tonight.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: A Happy New Year to everybody, and
especially to Jean. I wish you luck in the new year, and looking forward
to working with you.
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it
