Chapter 100 (Zoning) of the Code of the Town of Southold is' hereby amended as follows: 1, Sectlon ~00-235(C) is ~mencled as f.ollow~: _(~) All lots !reproved with a buildincJ, m- strucLure must ensure that access is aL least fifteen feet in width and at least fifteen (I~Lre~Z i~z._l'~ight, sul~j.e~ to approval structures ..

Additions in bold/underllned Deletions in overstrike COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: l'm voting, no, and I'd better make some explanation, because I'm the only one who disagrees with this. understand the purpose of trying to do something about this, because the fire departments in town who can not always get their equipment with ease to a place that needs it. However, what we have written here is something that ~1 think is almost absolutely unenforceable in the first place, and in the second place, if it is enforceable it's going to mean that the person at the very end of one of these private roads winds up having to take ca. re of c earing, this. fifteen by fifteen foot Space on the road ;[or.the entire .road, w?,ether ~t's one block, one city block, or a half a mile, or a mile. That s one problem. Also, I checked With an attorney. Some of the attorneys on the Town Board said, no, but my attorney said :tha't~ by having this law in here would..my h°me woul~l become non~co.?f°rmin.g., because even though I have a C.O., I was not fully in compli~an6e :with Town Code. That is enough to make me worry about beyond' the problem of the enforcement. So, those are just two of the five reasons. I!m not going to take up more time. COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA:i But, then, again, if you build a home..i want to build a home at the end of say up at the Sound, and there's no road, you have to go to the ZBA for, what we call, a 288 excess, and the ZBA will make you build a road to certain specifications, and you have to pay the full burden of [hat .rdad, if you are even a half a mile away from it, because it's your driveway to get to your house. TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: And keep it up over the years. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: You are expected to but those house that are already built are.not going to fall under that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You can see this has been a very lively topic, not only in the Work Session, but also here at the Board session. I think what we're trying to keep in mind foremost is the health and safety of the people when-they call. There is one road in particular. This relates mostly to private roads, but there is one road in particularly that an emergency call had~..to be made. An elderly gentleman was having a heart attack. NeedLess to say when he came from the hospital he had all his neighbors get .together and clear the road, because the fire vehicles, and safety, and ambulances do have to have access on these roads. The newer equipment, ambulance are wider and higher, so this [aW has been ~n affect, but the way it read in the past was up to fifteen feet, which did not allow the Town Attorney leverage to enforce. Now, it does say specifically, at least fifty feet, so this is the ma.ior change. As I said it's been in the Code in the past, and so we are correcting it, so it can be enforced, and continued to be concerned about the safety and welfare of the people. 26.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman No: Councilwoman Hussle.

COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND-' before. Can we discuss this? I hadn't seen this SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Jim McMahon brought it up at the last minute to put on. It's volley ball courts, and they're using Jr, and so he would like to get the lease signed and executed. They are very, very happy with it. They're going to be playing, I believe, TI]ursday and Friday nights. On Wednesday they are going to start a league. They're absolutely delighted. Henry Raynor owns the property. Ne leases part of it to Mr. Bacon for the island, so it's down in New Suffolk. It's working very well, and they are delighted, IUs interesting. Any of you here, some evening when they are playing volleyball you should take a ride down, because it really is a family kind of activity. They bring their wives and their children. One of the greatest things is, there is ~bsolutely no drinking JUNE 11, 1996 of alcoholic beverages. They play the sport of volleyball. Afterwards they may go and have refreshments, but while they are there it really is a family activity rather you watch it here, or you go over to the ocean in the summer, and watch it where they have six, seven different courts going at the beaches at the same time. I have gone over with my grandchildren. ~t's a family activity so it's kind of nice to see. 38. -Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Ollva, Councilman Supervisor Cochran.

EvanS, Hussie, We have one or two COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE I am able to fill in some time. Can I fill in some time, and tell you where I went a couple of weeks ago? June 3rd I went up to Albany with a group of other people from the five East End towns to see what we could do about getting the bill to allow us to have an advisory referendum on the ballot in November for Peconic County, to establish Peconic County. This does not say, yes, there will be a Peconic County, but it, does give ,us a feel of how the people feel about Peconic County, and the 'process is a little bit laborious, I think. We have to get permission from the State Legislature to put this on the ballot for, us to vote on. The bill did pass the New York Senate forty~nlne to nine, and it is presently being held up by Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, who has not put it on the floor of the House for a vote. So, a group of us went up there to lobby. The.only thing we ask for was permission for you and me, and everYb(~dy else he,re on the five east end towns, to be able to vote on whether we even want to consider Peconic County. I don't know how well we did. It was a very interesting trip. It was very well organized by the Shelter Island Board, and we did not come up there empty handed, one thousand raw clams on the bus, and I don't know how many cases of local wine. We were a hit.

This resolution was duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That's the end of our resolutions, and at this time I would like to open it up, and if there's anyone from the visiting audience today that would llke to ~hare with tho Town Hoard on any given topic, we'd be very happy to entertain it at this time. FRANK CARl_IN: Frank Carlin. My subject today is Southold Police. It's in three phases. I'm going to try to do two phases. If m think I'm taking too long, I'll sit down, al~tl let somebody else ~peak, and then come back for the third one. Now, that the way has hem~ cleared after 1~ months to hire police officers, how many does this Beard have in mh~d you want to hire? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Would you like an answer now? Frank, there was five put in the budget, and then we had Officer Fledler reth'e, so that really could allow us the maximum of six, accerdlng to the funds we have. We've hired two from ~he preferred list, and we have interviewed on the open llst, no matter which way we go in hiring the next officers off the open llst, they can not start the Academy until August 31st. So, at this point we have what we have on board, but we hope to go to the open li~t next. FRANK CARl. IN: How many do you plan on hi~ing, the maximum? SUPERVISOR COCIIRAN: The max would be the six counting the two we already hired, so that would he four more. JUNE 11, 1996 FRANK CARLIN: That would bring you from sixteen to twenty-two? COUNCILMAN MOORE: A few more back from disability. They are coming and going. Some are out. FRANK CARLIN:' Okay, now, we got $75,000. given to us from the Federal government for the COPS Program, Community Policemen. That's three cops right there at $23,000. You just hired two for $23,500, didn't you? What are trying to say, Joe? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: After five years ... FRANK CARLIN: Let's not talk about five years, Joe. Let's talk where we go now. The problem with you, Joe, you're always worrying about what's going on down the road. Let's worry about what's going to happen today. We're short on cops. Greenport give us $2~10,000. (tape change.) COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I can't tell you the exact figure, but probably with the benefits and so forth, and it could be.. I wouldn't want to guess, maybe $180,000, something like that. I would like to address you, when you are through, on this is, because money is a big issue. FRANK CARLIN: I'd like to address you, too, Joe, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt of each $23,500. To me, this Board with the cost of taxpayers there ain't money too high right now. What's down the line five years, that's something else. Fifteen cops, at least, we should be able to hire in this Southold Town, and that won't even bring us up to we had in 1990. You know, Joe, we had ~11 police officers in 1990. Did our taxes ever go down? We have 16 now, did our taxes ever go down? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No. FRANK CARLIN: That's my opinion. Sixteen, fifteen, at least, with causing the taxpayers any more money right now. You know what I'm saying? June 6th at 8:00 o'clock Southold Police Department received six brand new police cars. I know because I guided the trailer through the railroad bridge. , That's my every day duty anyway living there, guiding the tractor and trailers when they stop and can't make the bridge, I usually go out with courtesy, and I ask them how high are you? They say thirteen six, because it's a State Law, and I say, go ahead because the bridge is over fourteen and a half. That's a freebie I do for the town. I'm always doing that. But, they stand there, and they stand there, they don't know if they want to go on. Anyway, six new police cars were delivered to the Southold Police Department at 8:00 o'clock. In fact, I drove down there, and I seen them being unloaded. The problem is let's put these cars to use. I think Southold Town has a tendency to put these behind the headquarters there, and leave them lay for awhile to cut costs. We've got police cars, some of them on the road now, Madame Supervisor, that are tickets. They have 100,000 miles on them. SUPERVISOR COCNRAN: More than that. FRANK CARLIN: They should be taken down to the dump, and dumped in the metal pile there, plain speaking, because probably costs more money to maintain than to buy a new one. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, when the police cars come in it does take a little bit to get them on the road, because they have to be striped, and an insignia goes on, and so forth. FRANK CARLIN: I'm not say that. As long as they don't go into moth balls someplace, which we have been known to do before. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think some will be on tile road shortly. FRANK CARLIN: And get rid of some of those clunkers over 100,000 miles. Let these boys ride in something half way decent, and let the taxpayers money go to work here for them. Can I finish up? It won't be too long. Police Chief, I have nothing against ()ur retired Police Chief Stanley. He did a 9ood job as a police chief, but the size of Southold Town, no $96,000 to no police chief. Come on. The New York City's JUNE 11, 1996 Police Commissioner with 30,000 police, and I'm giving him a raise here, $125,000. Suffolk County Commissioner, 2,600 officers, $95,000, 2,600 officers, Nassau Commissioner, $95,280, Boston Commission, $85,000, FBI Director, $125,000. Southold last year what ever these people voted, you give the Police C~hief $91,000, and he got a raise since then to $96,000. It's too much for the size of this town, too much of the taxpayers money. That's my argument there. I can understand, you know, you look at 30,000 police officers that this Police Commissioner is responsible for, that's more people than we have in Southold Town. We're only down to sixteen, and some Sergeants I'm throwing in there, and some Detectives. I mean I have nothing against Stanley, but you got to use some logic here. $96,000, I make a statement here, in my opinion, I say the Police Chief in Southold should get no more than $65,000. I hope that when you decide on, I don't care if you choose..it doesn't matter to me if you choose from in the ranks, or outside, that you keep this in consideration. COUNCILMAN MOORE: Frank, can I just respond quickly to your comments? The money is not out there in some huge pot to say that we're going to hire fifteen, or twenty, or you pick a number officer. One of the things we're looking at right now, and we just put into place this year was the ability of seasonal police officers, of which we were able to hire two for right now, who are certified, and put on the street. Those are tt~e people who can fill in, and do certai~ tasks, in the summer season, which we all acknowledge is the busiest time of the year out here on the east end. One of things, when we get to the new police chief, we have to examine is just how to best meet tiJe manpower rJeeds of ti~e town. Now, it's combination of seasonals and full-times, and some oti~er things that can be done to maximize your manpower in a way that you get most bang for the buck. As far as the Police chief goes, however we go on that we have to negotiate a contract. If you could find a way to help us negotiate a contract paying $65,000, I'd love to have your input on that, because you'll see a tier structure of employment that makes that rather difficult. But, I'd be happy to hear your comme~ts on that. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Just a comment, not to embarrass anybody, but you realize that if it was $65,000 he was probably making less than most of the men .on the force, assuming all the officers, becausf~ we I~ave officers that make almost $90,000 now. With overtime some patrolmen make well more than that, so it's difficult to put a Police Chief in who would be making less than a good percentage of the force. We discussed that. It is a concern in this town. That's one comment you hear all time. It's a concern for us. We're all very concerned about that level. It's a very interesting story how it got that way, but the fact is, there is a reality in that he is not the only one that is making that kind of money. Quite a few members of the police force are making that kind of money. FRANK CARLIN: Riverhead Police Chief ain't making that money. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think Riverhead is, Frank, if you check, because he gets paid in different ways. I believe he gets a bulk salary. He get $15,000 for this, so much for that, so if you total it up. I think you have to look at the whole thing. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: In the Coul~ty they're making over a hundred. FRANK CARLIN: You brought up a very important point, $90,000 in overtime. That was because we had no cops. They were working overtime, over it,000 hours overtime. When you have enough police that they can all work forty hours, you wouldn't have hit that kind of salary. We've been paying $90,000. I can't believe that without overtime you're telling me we wouldn't make no $90,000 for a police officer'. You're telling me $90,000 because for the last sixteen months you people couldn't make up your mind on this issue about hiring, and used the taxpayers' money to spend all this kind of overtime, and worked these fellows all kinds of hours overtime here, now, you're telling me it's $90,000. Sure, it's going to be $90,000. If you had enough police officers on there, then it won't be $90,000, because they'll work forty hours a week. How come in 1990 we had I~1 police officers, and all of a sudden now we're worrying about only six. Tell me. Answer. JUNE 11, 1996 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That's what money allows right now, Frank. FRANK CARLIN: And the traffic is getting worse, and we took over Greenport yet. So, that means with that town we need more police officers to cover greenport. No logic there. Sorry. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Frank. Mr. VanBourgondien? PHIL VANBOURGONDIEN: Phil VanBourgondien, Southold. What I read in the paper about the Police Chief situation is that, and correct me if I'm wrong, if it were proven that the majority of: the people in town wanted you to go outside of the town for a police chief, that's allowed, according' to the 'way the paper stated it. If you show that enough people wanted you' to go outside of town. That's what both papers had in last week; COUNCILMAN MOORE: Let me just comment on that. I don't know that I would characterize it that way. I think the fellow from Civil Service explained to us the criteria. It has nothing to do with a popular vote of the community saying, we want you to do this, we want you to do that, and somehow ~he majority vote would say, go hire from outside. Civil Service Law, and the Town Attorney can step in here with the language specifically, gives the criteria which suggests..1 don't think I am speaking out of turn characterizing what Mr. Schneider said, that promotional exams appoint many departments within it's police department, or your Highway Department, or your Scavenger Waste or Solid Waste, are geared toward and foster promotion. That seems to be the frame of the Civil Service Law written in New York State. It requires, and I don't want to quote inaccurately from that Law., It's not a popular vote, and it's not just because we want to do it. It has be in the public interest to do it. TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: Impractical or against the public interest, or against the public interest. COUNCILMAN MOORE: Well, impracticable, and in the public interest to go outside, so" it's a burden that the Board will have to meet, and having Mr. Schneider ~here I think the Board is working through the i~formation that he provided, and what conclusions are drawing upon them. We agreed kind of-to reach that on our own, as a Board proponent., that's what we're going to do. PHIL VANBOURGONDIEN: It's shame that it was presented the way it was in the press, because you get the impression there's enough people that didn't want promotion from within, you would be free to go outside, which of course, I advocate doing, as you know from the last meeting. COUNCILMAN MOORE: His meeting with us was very informative. Those who actually sat there, and heard him directly it was most helpful. It' was open to the public, and those who were there, I think, heard it directly from him, and kind of form their own opinion based on what they heard from him, and not characterized by someone else, whether it's by me or by anybody else analyzing what he said. PHIL VANBOURGONDIEN: Thank you. A friend of mine came to me the other day, and made a statement that worried me. He said that he inquired of the North Fork Bank about renting a part of the white elephant up on Youngs Avenue, that the bank is stuck with. Their answer was, no, we're not interested in renting any part of it, because we!re in negotiations with the Town of Southold, and they're looking into buying it. As you know, a month or so ago I told you that I thought this was the biggest mistake in the world. It's an ugly looking building. It's far too big for us. Councilwoman Hussie, of course, said, well, we can rent part of it out. Politicians never rent anything out. They fill it with more employees; That is the way it always works, and then what do you do with this bUilding? This building sits empty and try to find people to fill this building when you have rentable buildings all over the Town of Southold at the present time. Office space all over .the place. I can't impress you enough with how muci~ I feel that spending two and a half million dollars is a compete waste of money, when you can purchase property right around this building, which is an attractive looking building on the main street in the middle of a beautiful town. If you were to take that people would say, look, look at that ugly brick building. That's where they are stuck away. You can expand with an architect, and you can purchase property around this building. You can lay out and add on to it what you need for far less that two and a half million dollars, I'm sure. My third topic today is, two weeks ago Ed Siegmann made a statement, or asked a question of the Board if they had ever done anything about looking into the report of the Tax Committee, that was instituted several years ago? The answer was, well, we're thinking about it, or we're looking at it, or whatever. I personally doubt that anybody with the exception of maybe Alice has even read the first report or the second, or maybe Ruth very possibly. Otherwise I doubt that any of the rest of the Board has read either of the reports through. I'm not patting m~ysef~o~, t~e baCk~ I.happ,en to be on that .committee, and I felt [hat .we dld a big j6b, andl we ~ame up with a lot of conclusions on hoTM taxes c~uld be reduced., iUnfortunately, politicians are .politicians, and something sta:rted by another politician is never looked on very .w;ell b'y the next guy, 'wt~o ~ake~ over, and I suspect that, that's ti~e r~aso,n Wh~/ ~t has not been looked, at, but there i~ a lot of good information i~ there. I :urge you to look at it, because as time goes on, and costs escalate you are goi'!ig to hear more and more discontent from the People, and I think you Qught .to look into ways and means of trying to reduce government, and government expense. SUPERVISOR CO.CHRAN: Thank you. If I may I'II start backwards. I'll start with your romar!ks in relation to the tax report. It has been brought to the Board on two occasions, and there has been no action taken. Number two, in relation to the building, we are not in negotiation.s, with North Fork Bank, or anyone else. We are looking at the feasibility of purchasing ~he :bank~ We don't even know if that wilt be the selling .price.. I [nave: doUbts that it will be. We felt that if we had options in officials. YOU ,seem :to ~ind that politicians, that it is a nasty word. don't believ~ ,~ iS'. The;se are_neighbors and people, that are ~lected to do the job ~dr: }c~e c~mmUnlty. I also believe 'n relation to taxes~ that it is the resp0n~ibili~y Of this Town Board at the time they develop a budget to Io0k a,t downSizing, or rightsizing, or whatever ter. m is in vogue that ~l~iy. Bu~:, it is our responsibility to look at a budget, to Plan it, to keep t~e taxes down as best we can, and yet give the service we are here to l~rovide, I.r~eally feel bad y that you feel that we lack the knowledge, 0~ we. lack tee ability to properly house people in the Town Hall. I c.an ~ic~t even ;begin to compr, ehend that because you have the sPace you fill it Up;. l~his is not so. Th~s is not so. We work as best we: .can with the peo~qle We h,ave;i~ this Town Hall, and I think they'rei;dolng a good job. BL~t, we al:so owe to them a healthy working environment. So, we will continue to lo;ok at the options before us, and then the Board will make a decision yes or no. At this point no decisions have been made, Also, it is being considered what can happen to this building. This building daes not have any historical value. I remember when it was built. It's not like i.t's been here since 18q2. It's a building that was built, and it no ionger meets the needs for good planning, and good execution of Town businesS. ! thank you for your concerns as I always do, and thank you for sha~ing with us. PHIL VANBOURGONDIEN: If I may say something. I have never intimated in any way that this building, as it stands today, is sufficient. I agree wi;th everybody completely. It's a horror having people in the basement. I ~ay with the money that you will spend with architects that you can add on to this building in various ways, You can purchase property right next .door. You can purchase property in the back. You can do anything you want. Then add on to this building so that you get everybody out of the basement, and have sufficient room for everybody. Don't get the impression that I ever said that what we have is fine, because I agree with you. The people in the basement should not be, but JUNE 11, 1996 we should look at what we have here. When you say, well, it has no historic value. Has that white elephant got any historic value? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSlE: No, it doesn't. I think itIs a horrible looking building, , SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think there are things that can be done. People make a building many times, also. Thank you for your clar~flcation. I'm glad you see tl~e fact that we do need added space,, and this report hopefully will give us some of those options. In the past the Town Board has from time to time investigated the sale of the property on the corner, or the Sale from Mr. Stankewicz. Year ago we had engineers going, and check it, and I don't think it was anything that the Town,would llke to purchase, and those records are on file. We will be looking at it 'in total. No one, myself included, I~as made a decislon~ or has made anything in their mind. We are going to look with an open mind, with growth to the futUre, and just try to make the best WiSest decision ~hat .we can. Thank you. Anna? ANNA COSOMONO: My name is Anna Cosomono, and Imm a resident of Southold. I'm here tonight on behalf of the ad hoc Animal Rescue Committee. This may very well be our last time here, as July is right around the corner. Our petition for the new Board of Directors has been sent to, and received registered mall by the shelter. As you all know by now July is the month the shelter has their annual meetings, their elections for the Board of Directors open to the members of the League. As of now we don't know the date, but when we do we will let all the people know through the: Suffolk Times, and Traveler-Watchman. Hopefully, you people' will be there to cast your vote. We wish to thank all people who have helped us with this campaign all these months, and to you, the Town Board, for all your help. As you all know, how and why this fight with the shelter first started, I would like the public to be aware of this inexcusable, untimely death of a dog named Yana, and to make sure this sort of thing never happens to anyone ever again. I personally have to be thankful to the people who have helped me in time, to be able to have a private cremation for Yana, and the ;crematorium where her remains were being held. The North Fork Animal Welf.are League put a stop to it. This is all I have left of Yana. Yana may have died alone, but her ashes will be with me always, where she should have been in the first place. I hope in July everything is resolved, and we can finally do something good for the shelter. Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Anna. Is there anyone else? MILDRED BOYCE: My name is Mildred Boyce. I live in Southold. I just wanted say that apparently the turmoil on the Board of Directors of the North Fork Animal Welfare League continues. Last week the secretary resigned, and that brings a total of eight people, eight directors, who have resigned from the-North Fork Welfare League in the past year, and they are now down to six members on their present board. I just wanted to make everybody aware of those facts. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Office Tirelli? VINCENT TIRELLI, JR.: Vincent Tiretli, Jr., Southold PBA. First I'd like to say this past week I became a reluctant member of a club Ms. Hussie, and Mr. Carlin belong to, and that's the anonymous hate mail club. I have received letters in the past that people had the intestinal fortitude to sign. This one was a personal attack on my personal llfe, as well as my professional career. As Mr. Carlih said a few weeks ago, the letter is not worth the paper it's written on, if you don't have the guts to sign it, but maybe we should start a club. t don't know. I noticed under the discussions that you discussed the possibility of a police commissioner. Is that in lieu of a chief, or on top of a chief? JUSTICE EVANS: State Law requires that we have a ct~ief. VINCENT TIRELLI, JR.: I realize that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Mr. Townsend would you like to respond to JUNE 11, 1996 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: We discussed that we wouldn't be discussing it. We agreed not to discuss it. We just discussed the concept. I don't want to get in great detail, because we're looking at several options to perhaps achieve some of the changes that..or enhancements that some of the people up h~re had spoken about. Councilman Moore mentioned a few, and we hope to have a decision very soon on this. VINCENT TIRELLI, JR.: As Justice Evans said, Civil Service Law does requires a chief in a department this size. I was just wondering if there was an attempt to circumvent the issue. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Board? Is there anyone who would like to address the MARY RAKAUSKAS: I'm Mary Rakauskas from Southold, and did you get a response by any chance to the point in which a light will be installed at the intersection of Horton's Road? SUPERVISC from the D to Shelter was havin~, there, so had some and so o~1~ said, is little faste, R COCHRAN: I had the occasion to speak with the engineer epartment of Public Works last night. I had been invited over Island. The Suffolk County Highway Superintendents Association I their conference. I was invited, and lie happened to be he first thing I said was, where's my light? He said they have ifficulty. You'll see it, blue on the road, and the blue flags, and so forth. They're waiting for LILCO right now, and I ere anything that my office can do in pushing LILCO along a ? He said, no, he thought it was under control, and that they shoulIJ be solving the LILCO problem with the lines, and so forth. If you Ioo1~ up there you'll see that the lines cros,s the road at an angle, and i:t just/ doesn't make sense how any of these w~res go. So, that's what they're woi-king on, and he assured me that it would be as quickly as possible. MARY RA~AUKAS: That's funny, because fantasies II thought perhaps you could install Lane. It }~as,be.en"becoming a drag strip. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: On Horton's? in one of more realistic speed bumps on Horton's MARY RAI~AUKAS: Yes. Another thing that has me puzzled is in respect toI the salary of the clerk-typist versus that of one of the gentlemen that works at the dump. SUPERVISC~R COCHRAN: The gate attendant. / MARY RAKIAUKAS: Is there a vast difference? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Fifteen cents. It's just that the gate attendant is earning more than the clerk-typist, that must know the computer, and must file, nd must type, all these different duties. MARY RAI AUKAS: I was under the impression that a gate attendant earns some':hing on the order of about $12.00 an hour. SUPERVlSC R COCHRAN: No. TOWN CLEI(K TERRY: We just hired three. It's $ 6.96. SUPERVlSCR COCHRAN: My comment was that the Town Board should really take a look at it. There's a little inequity here. Mr- Carlln? FRANK CARLIN: I got a suggestion, if you ever want to build a new town hail, how to get rid of this here building here. Try to sell it to the YMCA. Police Chief, we went out of town years ago. We hired a police chiet from Suffolk County. For 'what reason he resigned, but we already hal one in the town. As far as politicians go, not all of them, but this ;s my opinion, not all of them, but some of them have a tendency to create problems, and then campaign against them. That's what ~ think. SUPERVISOR COCNRAN: Thank you, Frank. Is there anyone else that would like to address the Town' Board?. (No response.) First i would like to~ ~pologize to the Board because we were so hard at work today, that all of sudden someone said something, we were almost done With what we had to do, and I looked at the clock, and it was twenty Of two, and they hadn't eveh had lunch yet. So, I thank you for being so patient today, and not saying, hey, I'm hungry. Let's close this down. But, I would like to call if any Board members would like to report anything. Joe? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No, not at this time. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Ruth? COUNCIL~WOMAN OLIVA: Yes. Two things, first of all, I was asked by Jean to go to the Peconic Estuary Conference last Wednesday and Thursday, and I went down, and they had some very, very interesting data, and presentations. I was especially pleased, because I was one of a small group people eleven years, this coming summer that met over with the group' for~the South Fork to start this whole process, because we were worried about the Brown Tide. That it has evolved, thanks to so many people's participation in the Peconic Estuary System's program. It's really, I think, something wonderful. Hopefully, there will be some basic research just' to find out what causes this Brown Tide, because we really do need an answer. One of the questionnaires on the public relations question that they asked, which towns used the Peconics the most? It was Southold Town with ?$% of the people that were surveyed, and Southold Town used the i~econics extensively for recreation, for economic reasons, and what have you, so it really is important. Second of all, we have receiv_ed a $20,000 grant from the Department of State to study the problem at Goldsmith -Inlet, to study the accretion on the west side, and the erosion on the east side. .We are going to hold a workshop here on Wednesday the 19th, and Thursday, the 20th. We will be walking the beach Wednesday afternoon the' 19th, and the evening of the 19th at 7:30 right here in Town Hall we hope to have as many people that can possibly come out from both the east and the west side of the inlet to give us their, pe. rceptions, to give us any information that they have that we may have had, so that these experts that the Department of State are bringing in from all over the country to study this problem can come to some various conclusions on the morning of the 19th. So, anybody that out there from around Goldsmith Inlet. or anybody else that wants to come, we'd be delighted to see you at 7:30 here at Town Hall on Wednesday the 19th of June. Thank' you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Councilman Moore? COUNCILMAN MOORE: Ruth, I'm glad you picked up on the little lighter note there. We got pretty heavy. I didn't bring any pompoms, or megaphones, but I'm going to continue to roll the thing over to tt~e cheerleader here. I want to thank the Arts of Southold Town. A week ago Saturday they brought out and presented Judy Carmlchael, who is a terrific stride jazz piano player. She is a tremendous entertainer, great program.-'I'm so happy that that group of people are sponsoring these kind of programs. We've got jazz throughout the summer, classical music coming this fall, along with the music on the green on Wednesday will be starting up not too far from now. So, I think it's great to do that. I als0 want to pitch a product of the Southold Town promotional Committee, which is now, out and ~vailable, called 1996 North Fork Directory, ~nd this thing is super. This thing lists all the bed and breakfast, the hotels, the motels, the restaurants, you name it. It's a fantastic publication, and hard working Promotional Committee, which consists of our local Chambers, and Bed and Breakfast Associations~ and charter captains, and a whole group of people were involved in this. It's a terrific brochure. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: There's racy picture of my daughter in there. JUNE 11, 1996 COUNCILMAN MOORE: Is there? A racy picture, this must be at the beach then. The cover is a handcolored photograph by artist Daniel Jones, and it was the bases of a poster that has been used before, and it's going to become a theme for the Promotional Committee. I'm sure Oayle Martinet-Smith had a lot to do with it. I don't know who else she worked with ~n the layout. She's the Executive Director of the Promotional Committee, and she does a great job, and this is a tremendous brochure. The last thing, we built a place to put this brochure in a tourist information booth this past weekend, and I have really soft hands. I'm not a carpenter, and I don't know the first thing about carpentry, but I was happy to participate Saturday in the construction of a new tourist information booth, that is going to go up at the Town Beach in Southold. I figured out which end of the hammer to hold, so another place to put thes~ giLeat brochures. Thanks. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Justice Evans? Councilwoman Hussie? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: No, thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I have several things ~ would like to support, but first I Would lik:e to offer my congratulations to the many, many students in S.outhold Town that just completed the DARE Program. For those of you who do: not know what the DARE Program is, it is a program that Works ~with one of our police officers, Detective Dzenk°ski and the schools', We go in?o'~ the schools and we teach these young people about drugs~ We teach ~h~n;about self-awareness, respecting themselves· We try to glVe~,them some sklis, so that when they get to an age where drugs are offered to them they I~now how to say, no- It's an excellent program. We had three, four, fl~e different graduations this week. They have all been televised. They are all showing on Channel 27, and the young people kind off get a kick out of seeing themselves on TV, but it might behoove you to watch at least one of them, and you will realize what this program has. It's worth every penny that is spent on it. I, also, had the opportunity to: sp~.ak to some of the grades, Greenport, Southold, and so forth, down at ~Fou~ders Landing. Part of their history program is called, Landing to LighthOuse,~ and they learn about the beginning times in Southold Town, and I had the opportunity to share with them big billowy white clouds of sail coming up the bay to land at Founders. So~ that was a nice opportunity ~or myself, and for the children also. I attended the North Fork HoUsing Alliance open house and dedication. They have just completed an educational center, and that was dedicated plus one of the homes that were just renovated was also dedicated. It was exciting. We did a tour, one o~ ~hem. I went to the first one, and then I disappeared, and the tour went to the other three homes. Joe was a part of that also, and presented a pFoclamation for the town. Also, I attended a meeting with County Exe~O~tive Gaff ney. All ten Supervisor, and they meet once a year to take action on funds from the quarter percent sales tax, and we did recelive some funding for testing and capping of the landfill, a small amount. We don't generate that much in quarter percent sales tax. Bill spoke briefly about the booth that was raised. He said a Chamber booth. It's not a Chamber booth. What it is, is a regular booth, that the beach attendants use up at Town Beach to sell the stickers, and checking the people as they come in. Since tt3e one that was there was ready to fall apart, we figured if we replaced it, but at the same time we enlarged this, t~hat it would give us the opportunity to place tourist information in the booth in addition to being an attendants' booth. So, we checked the prices up here on the North Road, and so forth, and said, beck, why can't we do an old-fashioned booth raising rather than a barn raising. We had some of these people together, and they were from the Chamber and Gall Marriner-Smith, that did this brochure, she was there. The women's role, we made the coffee, and served the bagels. I don't think they trusted us with a hammer- They did build it. They're up to putting the roof on tonight, but I have to tell you, Councilman Moore has never had the opportunity to build anything. His dad is a minister, and so is his grandfather, and they just didn't do carpentry. So, we decided we'd take the chance and give Bill a hammer. So, Bill did get a hammer, and after they first told him how to hold it, you did beautifully, Bill. You really did. At one point he is up on the ladder helping my husband, who's up on the peak of the roof, and he's banging this board, and Pep finally said~ Bill, I don't know how to say this. don't want to hurt your feelings, but would you please get off the ladder, 440 JUNE 11, 1996 and let Jimmy King come up? So, Bill, thank you very much, and he left. But, he did learn his first lesson in construction, worked hard, as the fellows did, and we have our booth just about completed. So, government is work, but you can have fun, too, to get these things done. Also, I would llke to congratulate Eagle Scout Todd Giordano in Mattituck. I attended his Eagle Scout award, and ~t was nicely done, and we offer him congratulations once again. In the same vein, I would like to offer congratulations to Ken Hagerman, and Midge Flynn Hagerman, Who celebrated their Fiftieth Anniversary over the weekend, and were honored by friends, and neighbons, Then in the evening I had the opportunity to go Polish Hall in Riverhead, and I served as a Judge for the Polish Hall Queen, which they use for their Polish Town Fair; It was a busy weekend, believe me. In a weak moment one of the church groups from to have a dunk ng booth, Mattltuck, it's a youth group, and they're going ' ' ' and they 'asked if I would cooperate by being dunked. For kids, darn it, I said, yes. I think I'm going to be auctioned, and my husband sits their with a big grin on his face. (tape change.) Hull strawberries',' and if any other member of the Board would like to join US, Or you ~an gO up, and fix the strawberries, and put the whipped cream on, but (hey certainly can use a the hands they can get for the Lion's Strawberry Fes,tival in Mattituck.
