This resolution was duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We have until eight o'clock for the first public hearing. We have about eight minutes. Maybe i can share a little something with you. As you know we developed a program last year, and it's called SOAR, which stands for Save Our American Resources, and it is directed toward young people, and they become stewards of America's resources, in this case they become stewards of Southold's resources. We did receive a grant last year to get it started this past year from the Lewis Bacon JUNE 9:7 {Foundation. They gave us a grant for $25,000. One of the ways we hope to raise funds for this program in the future is by collecting the deposit cans from the waste stream. Coming from Southold is over ti0,000 cans that have a nickel deposit on cans, bottles, and so forth, and we feel that there is 30,000 available to us. Some of it we collect directly at the landfill, and there are different categories. There are Code products, Pepsi, Miller, Budweiser, Coors, and Cott. You bring your cans into the landfill, and they are being carted away after they are put in bags, and they are being sorted by some of the community workers from the County up at the Camp, and they sorting them out, and' then they returned to Mattituck Beverage, and we receive $12.00 a bag, The money is starting to come in fairly well. We have a meeting the other day, because we want to try to encourage those residents that summer out here, and: have second homes, that spend the summer in Southold to be aware that we certainly would appreciate it: if any. of the cans they have, rather than bein~ thrown into the garbage is.maybe, perhaps, put in a little bag on the Side, and dropped off at the landfill, so that we can continue l~he PrOgram'with funding in other ways, then hitting the tax base. The committee met two days ago, and we have developed some plans ~n announcements, and we are going to redo the brochure at:.the landfi there were several other ideas is just the way of reminding everyone, not residents, but our year round residents that we sure ~ support in bringing your cans to the landfill for the kit something.tO share With you in this few moments I have. rel~ to public ut so this ~.ummer y?ur I can find COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: How about I talk about the transfer station? I did that resolution with further engineering cost, and one of 'the questiOns that ! get occasionally from people that I meet either at. the post office, or the grocery storey or wherever it is, and know that I am involved in this are, why do we have to have the Transfer Station? I will tell you quite frankly that we have to have it because the DEC requires that we have a tipping floor that we can dump the garbage that ,comes in, and ins )w~ and then. So, we are going thr0ughlth s whole thing. We haw ~ careful. We had our Solidi Waste Commlttee:.work on tee I do not Enow who has; an; the Landfill care of, giv, advisement, ff[~c .patterrm, and all of that now. I think we've got it th a terrible thing, but I that they think we haven't looked into, a at the Town Hall, yo ery carefUlly. should, be~ I that anybody important about c~uid be taken Will take it under SUPERVISOE COCHR~AN: Tomorrow fifty thousand phone calls all for Alice. t is important, and if you do have any input~ we certainly do welcome it on any topic, not just our Landfill. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Except this is a high ticket item. You want to have it right. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Okay, we have two minutes. I have to show you something cute. I love things like this, but we had two school groups in this Week on Tuesday, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon, and they are second graders, and you know, they always send you a thank you note, and it goes on, and on, and on, but what I got a charge out of, my Girl Scout background, I love these kind of things. The~ drew a picture down here~ and I think what 'impressed them the most was the Tax Receiver. It's probably something they have heard Mom and Dad talk about, so they ha~e this little picture of this lady inside with glasses, saying .thank you, and they are handing the money to her, so I thought that was kind of fun to share. These kids, as young as they are, they have some darn good questions. I'll take a moment right now rather than at the end of the meeting to thank the Girls Scout for planting up at the Soun.cl; As you drive by you will see once again, that the building has been painted, and we still have some stone and stuff to put around the landscaping, but the Girl Scouts came down last Friday, and planted all the bright yellow marigolds, then we fed a hot dog and a soda, and they did a lovely job, there were ~about twenty girls, and it seemed llke in an hours time all three beds were planted, so we had many people comment about it, and they enjoy it through the summer, because it looks a lot more attractive, and we are trying to do that. I know some of the play equipment, the final part JUNE 24, 1997 that was missing up at Tasker Park arrived yesterday, so that is up~ at Highway Department, so they will be taking that out, and finishing up that playground up there, so the young people can begin to use that, so lots of exciting thing happening. It's now eight o'clock, so we will go into public hearing. May I have a motion to adjourn? Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Justice Evans, it was RESOLVED that a recess be called at this time, 8:00 P.M., purpose of holding a public hearing. Vote. of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. for the Evans, Reconvened at 8:20 P.M. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: in relation to different laws that were heard this evening, we will go back to the resolutions. Since there was no public debate,~ we witl.ena~:t these laws at this time. 34.-Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Justice Evans, WHEREA~, there was presented to the ToWn Board of the Town of South.old, on .the 10th day of June, 1997, a Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in Relation to; Parking by Permit at Luther's Road, Also Known as "Bre~,kwater WHEREA~, a hearing was held on this Local law on the 24th day of June, 1997 at which time all interested person were given an opportunity to be heard thereon; now, therefore, be it RE.SOLVED that :th~ T~wn Board hereby enacts Local Law No. 13 1997, which r~ads as fOllOws: LOCAL LAW NO. 13 - 1997 A Local Law in Relation to Parking by Permit at Luther's Road Also Know as "Breakwater Road".

II. This Local Law Shall take effect upon its filing with the Secretary of State. * Underline represents additions COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Can I have a discussion on the motion? Just looking at this thing, it occurred to me that when we have these public hearings they don't seem to have a lot of input in many instances on why we are going to make these changes, and I think if we had a check list, or some sort Of part of a record that could indicate that there was concern in the community for x, x, x and x reason, or there was a fair amount of data relative to incidents, or fees, and so forth, if there was a format of some sort that could be part of the record, much like the Department of Transportation has when they put a stop sign in, or a blinking light or something like that when they have a survey, it might be helpful to understand why we are actually making these changes. I am not sure it is _that critical for these here, but I think in the future maybe we could do something like that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: This one here, Joe, if you recall, Jim McMahon, Community Development' Office came in, and explained why we were making these changes here at Breakwater. As you know, we are just trying to straighten out the parking down there. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: But if we had something that would be part of the record on each individual Law.

This resolution was duly ADOPTED. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I j{Jst want to discuss an issue that come up this morning relative to a Law that is proposed before the Legislature, the State Legislature. Easthampton has requested that the Legislature allow them to have a 2% tax on sale of property within their town, in order to create a fund for open space, and this is hardly a new idea. It's been going on for at least 198~, as far as I know. There was even an editorial ~--~ about us not showing leadership on this issue, i think if you look into the record, and I got the minutes and so forth, on three separate occasions we have requested the State to allow us to have the authority to have a - referendum on that issue. The potential for developing funds for open space is much greater, save our taxpayers in general a lot of money, if we were allowed to' do that. I have heard from embers of the real estate community, that are opposed to it, and I think most of the members on the TOwn Board are in favor of it. I know Supervisor Cochran wrote a letter asking to be included in this bill, and I don't know if it got there in time, apparently not. But, no on seems to hold a lot of optimism for this bills, because it has gone so many. You know, every couple of years it comes up, and it is that along with the authorization to have our own 1.02 JUNE 24, 1997 County, Peconic County, is indicative of the fact that, we donJt seem to have a lot of influence in the State on issues that are particularly the concern of the East End. I think it would b~ good, if anybody that is interested in these issues would write their representatives, both on the State and the County level, to point out that these are important issues, and we should be allowed to participate i'n our own destiny. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The first step in this is that the State has to pass the bill. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Which will not likely happen, apparently. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: When I got the call yesterday, as quickly as possible we tried to get information up to LaValle, and Theile, and so forth, so that perhaps we could be included. I think where it's been defeated' in the past three times through the years, since ~Stt, is because the realtors, and real estate industry has very strong lobbyists, and Jt~s been knocked down every time. We see it as a tool to continue to buy open space without increasing taxes. It would be a 2% tax paid by a buyer of a house, or open land in Southold. I noticed in the law, we did get a copy of the Jaw today, and I noticed in the law that I think the house price was $250,000., and the tot or a open piece of lar:d was $100,000. Anything above that the buyer would be paying 2%, which would come into the Treasury of the town. Last year, if we had it in pi:ace we would have had 1.6 million dollars we would have realized from the sale of this real estate in Southold Town. it was over 80 million dollars, and we would have been able to capture the 1.6 million. It would have certainly been a great way to continue to buy open space, and land, without raising taxes, and may in lieu of bond resolutions. It is something we have to look at, but I don~t think you are going to see any action on it this year, Joe. It is being presented to the State Legislation too late in the season. Hopefully, - Easthampton get it through, but it's been turned down three time, and we will certainly continue to work to try to get it through. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: It has worked successfully in other areas. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: ' We asked for a reservation to the bill for Southold Town, and I don~t know if we have received that yet, or not, but as soon as we hear, we certainly will let you know what is going on, and try to keep you informed as much as possible. Thanks, Joe. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: At this time if there is' anyane with us this evening, that would like to address the Town Board. please, feel free at this time. ALPHONSE MARISSAEL: My name is Marissael, Orient Point. I sent a letter, this the week after the Farmers Bill of Rights, and I sent a letter to the Suffolk 3-1roes. They called me on the phone, saying, it was too long to print. I sent you the same letter. Did you received it? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes, I did. Also, with your note that you had sent it to the Suffolk Times, and it was too long to print. ALPHONSE MARISSAEL: Now, there is such a thing as freedom of speech, and I would like to read the letter in public here. May I do so? 'SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I remember it is about two pages long? ALPHONSE MARISSAEL: All of two pages. It is addressed to the newspaper. Dear Sir, the Editor. Noise is noise. A blasting device repetitively blasting at precisely one minute and 20 seconds and sometimes at ~t5 seconds for an entire day is not an item to be used in a civilized society, no matter what the reason. It is not be considered as a mere noise. This offensive devise has been used on some farms since 1986, much to the detriment of residents living nearby. The Town Board has decided to make this legal. Never mind about the taxpayers or the value of their property. Everything was fine here until the introduction of this device. Now they have concocted this Farmer's Bill of Rights, because as they claim, there were too many complaints from residents about noise, such as traitors, irrigation pumps, dust, working people, etc. and new residents will have to sign an agreement recognizing these activities of a working JUNE 24, 1997 103 farm. Missing from this document is this offensive device called the Air Cannon, I call this misrepresentation. To be blunt, it is a conspiracy. Anyone building or buying property near a farm knows what to expect, I can not think of moving somewhere else as the farmer next to my residence suggested, I cannot expect to get the same value for my property. A vineyard manager tells me, you and your tranquility, do you recognize yourself, sir? I suggest you tell that to some of the people in the Village of Orient who are so concerned about the traffic to Cross Sound Ferry, and see if they could be mollified as some. lady reporter thought I failed to be at a Town Hall meeting. At the last Town Hall meeting I attended, a farm official remarked, we are spending millions of dollars to preserve farmland. Where does that money come from? When big bucks come in from the big~ is very difficult to say on the farm. When this government can f01 g our throats, they can prevent the farmer: from selling to a d st make him sell it to another farmer, on who ca~ - the many complaints I made, nothing was ever done. ~egalized now, it means the:town officials failed in their sworn law previously.

ALPHONSE MARISSAEL: I can not sell my property. People, would buy it, would have to sign this document, right? that SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: They don't sign anything. THey are just notified that the farm is there. The broker that will be selling your property is just going to notify the new owne?, that they are near a farm, and that there are certain farm practices, that they should be aware of. ALFONSE MARISSAEL: about that. The Village of Orient, they don't have worry SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I can't answer for the Village of Orient. Is there anyone else llke to address the Town Board? JAY GARGANI: Mr. Gargani, Southold. Unless I am not correct, I believe at the beginning of each and every meeting your solicit commentary from the listening audience, if they have any commentary on the resolutions as offered. Generally speaking they are quite a number, and regular attendees llke myself arrive here approximately ten minutes before the meeting~ we tend te be socially polite to each other, greeting each other, and' saying, what ..do you know, Joe, and things like that. In this case, the Joe doesn't refer to a Board member. What I am asking!here is that in the meeting of these resolutions, assuming that one generates particular interest to an individual would you consider allowing that person to pu.t a check mark next to that resolution, and then at the end o¢ the meeting elaborate on it further. Now, I notice when a resolution has a dual status of a [Local Law, it is fully explored, and I have no problem' ~ that. But, I'm just: wondering COnsidering the limited time frame that sts between the~commencement of the meeting, and the reading of many re., like tonlgh[~, how can one conceivabl~ have really a full thought SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Some are printed on the agenda prior to, and the agendas are Shared,. with not only libraries, but they are available at Town Hall, and they are sent over on Friday, but some of the Town Board work dur|ng~the day does generate additional resolutions. JAY CARCANI: Being I am not party to those situations, and the one that has been posted on the library board has disappeared in recent weeks.~ That is no longer the-situation there, because I check it quite thoroughly. I' don't know'what the reason for it is. Maybe' '.someone just takes ~|t~ off. I am not saying that you'dldn't send it, but apparently .it does disappear. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: There is probably no' reason why you couldn't be able to ask at the beginning of the meeting a question about a given resolution. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Sir, we would rather have you address a resolution prior to it's passage than after the fact. JAY GARGANI: Doesn't it tend to become a verbal marathon to a certain extent when you go from one to the other without allowing people to comment. I don't think there would be that many comments to begin with to be honest with you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: 'This is the work of the Board. and we will Probably continue to take it as Town policy. We will probably continue to ask for your Input at the beginning of the meeting. JAY GARGANI: In regard to reading of the resolutions, again, I find the proliferation and abbreviations. 1 believe at the last meeting there was an organization referred to as COOL. I honestly didn't even know what COOL meant. I don't mind exposing my ignorance, but I did read in the Suffolk Times subsequently, that it was related to something of which I have no objection at all, but if you had so called video typed llst of abbreviations of organizations readily and frequently dealt with, at least a person could have some insight as to what these abbreviations relate to. It is very difficult. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: COOL is not an abbreviation. That is the name of the program. JUNE 2z;, 1997 ~1 ~0i'5 JAY GARGANI: In any event, if you heard the word COOL for the first time, I thought of it as a slang expression, when I first heard it because you hear the work cool all over the place. Thanks again to the Suffolk Times for clearing that up. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We are so lucky, Timothy, thank you very much. JAY GARCANI: Also, to guard against any misguided evaluations and guidelines that I might have, I would appreciate knowing a little bit more about peconic~ Land Trust. I would like to know when it came into being, the purpose of their charter, and how it is funded, and the geographic limits. SOPERVISOR COCHRAN: Why don't you contact the Peconic Land Trust, John Halsey. ! am sure he will be very happy to share this information. They are located in Southampton, and I am sure they will share any information with you. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I would be happy to talk to you about that. I worked with them for years. I was on the Board for years. If you want any specific information I can glve it to you. TOWN CLERK TERRY: Jay, I believe I may have a brochure in my office, that you might like to come in and look at that explains it also. JAY GARGANI: I really think it helps those of us, who sit out here, if we know more about these applications. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You are more than welcome to attend any work session of the Town Board during the day. JAY GARGANI: The last is not really that important, but I am -just curious to know, does the Board have any moral differences with the transportation of garbage outside our state. The only reason I.~.ask that is because there is extensive coverage |n the newspapers lately, ~and what I am concerned about is that-we do have local inclnerators on Long Island built by taxpayers' money, not ours incidentally, and I am not advocating that, but apparently from reading these articles these burners are starving for garbage, and I'm just wondering is there any way at all of acting in concert with other people on the Island who have' provided these facilities to keep them alive, so to speak. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It's cheaper to truck it out. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE. That's the thing. We just recently went through another bidding process for the hauling of the garbage. We, also, contacted local towns, in fact a number of times. Some of the towns have had these incinerators, but their cost per ton, just to accept it at the gate wast so high, and then we would have to pay about $10.00 to $13.00 a ton to deliver it, that in the interest of the pocketbooks of the people who Jive in Southold,-we have to take the somewhat dubious moral problem of shipping it out of state. -On the other hand, there is an economic advantage, too, because a lot of those states, like West Virginia, and parts of Pennsylvania rely on this as a business. JAY GARGANI: I realize that. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: ago. We did look at this in more detail four years SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Alice has been up to see some of them. Recently we have checked again to see what the cost would be. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: We have even tried to work out some of these inter-municipal agreements wherein we would pay even a little more, because of the very reason you were saying. We wanted to strengthen and take the soundest long term approach. There's a lot of thought, that these other states accepting garbage would stop doing that, because of community opposition, and so forth, so we looked into a lot of municipal agreements with some of the towns that had these incinerators, but we just couldn't JUNE 24, 1997 make it fly financially at the time. You just couldn't justify it. It was a significant difference. JAY GARGANI: Too much hostility was generated in these other states the article went on to indicate. I Hope it doesn't reach that point. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSlE: One of things is the Coates Law, which surfaces every now, and then. This Senator from some place who wants to make a law against the transportation of garbage across State lines. I think, again, talking about West Virginia, and some of those places, is they really want it. They want to be able to accept the garbage, Do we have a contingency plan? I think we can get one in a trice. JAY GARGANi: The last item is targeted to Mr. Moore. More than one week, in fact multiple weeks have expired since the Freedom of Information Act request that you made, and to this date has remained unanswered, and of course, I follow it quite closely, and I am just hop!nc that you have some startling revelations to make. COUNCILMAN MOORE: Just so you know, ! put.that request in on my individual capacity as a resident water consumer of the Village living outside of the Village, as do you. I did not do it wearing my hat as Town Board member. I have put in an appeal but I have gotten no information to date, so Iql answer very quickly. There has been no information provided as of today. I would happy to talk to you about it afterwards. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is there anyone else that would like to address the Town Board? (No response.) If not, I'll call for Board reports. Joe, do you have anything in addition to the 2%? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: No. I have said my piece. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Bill? COUNCILMAN MOORE: Just a quick update. Our Code Committee has been meeting almost weekly on 'the cell tower wireless communication ordinance. We are going to meet again, if everyone is available next Wednesday at seven o'clock. We have a draft now we can work up. It's a cumulation. We are not there at the end yet, but there has been a lot of work put into it, a lot of material we have gone over to get to where we are, so I anticipate, and look forward to a successful Local Law coming before the Board for action relatively shortly. I am looking forward to tomorrow, as a guest speaker, at the East End Supervisors' meeting. Supervisor Cochran has invited me to speak on just that topic, which is cell towers and wireless communication on the East End. Lastly, I want to congratulate a lot of local high school graduates, who are going through the ceremonies last we~k, and this week, and I wish them all very well. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Judge Evans, anything to report? Hussie? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Councilwoman I -have reported. I just have a couple of other things. The Town SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Board did walk the Fort Corchaug area last week, and came out with muddy feet, and probably ticks, that we checked ourselves for, but it is certainly a beautiful piece of property. We did walk the Arshamomaque wetlands down here between Albertson Lane and Chapel Lane. That's another exciting piece of property, that we are going to be looking at very closely, and working with the Nature Conservancy. On Monday night I had the pleasure of addressing the Mattituck Chamber. I would llke to say. thank you for my dinner, and shared some of the workings of what the Board is doing at this time with them. They had also done a survey within their membership, and they are going to be doing some projects that will benefit the business community, but in addition beautify the Mattltuck area. There are some things we will be working with them on. and the railroad station certainly is working up there, and that entire area for parking and so forth will be landscaped and beautified. They did also ask for a crosswalk, which I passed that on to Mr. Jacobs. our Superintendent of Highways. the next day, and we will be putting a crosswalk on Love UNE 1707 Lane in Mattituck. That is something they wanted for a long time. I, also, had the pleasure of going down to Oysterponds, and they had a house tour last Saturday~ and I had the pleasure of seeing some of the lovely homes down in Orient overlooking the harbor. The view is just unbelievable from some of those positions, but it certainly was lovely. Department head meeting, doing TV shows, they are things I do daily month after month, and week after week, and it becomes a part of your routine, but there is one thing that we did this past Thursday morning. We met with the Mayor from Romania, and Mayor Kapell, and we had Al Krupskl, as a farmer, and we had Joe Cargala from the Farm Bureau, and we had Alice attend, Councilwoman Hussie, and we had Doctor Dan from Pindar. We had a nurseryman, landscaper, because evidently planning in Romania is not there since Communism left, and so he is looking for .support, and information, and so. me was forthcoming from the Farm Bureau, and Dr. Dan, so hopefully it is helpful to the M~yorl, and it was a very nice visit, and I. think some good was accomplished out of it. We would like to wish the Mayor of Romania well. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: It was interesting that he described his area, his particular town, as being similar to our~, and also having the same principle industries, I guess you could call them, of farming, vineyards, deep harbor, and tourism. So, there is a kinship there. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: So, we are going to continue to see ways of which .we can help him, and I know Pindar..he did say that they had one vineyard, and they have good wine according to Dr. Dan. One vineyard has 50,000 bottles alone, and no way to export, to move it, so there is going to be help given to him. I think it's good. it's all a plus. if there is nothing else to come before the Town Board I will entertain a motion to adjourn. Moved by Councilman' Moore, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting, be and hereby is adjourned at 8:50 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED.- Southold Town Clerk
