9:10 A.M. - The Board met with John Raynor, Southold Town Radio
Operator, Assistant Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator and 911
Specialist to dlscuss the Bell Atlantic request to place several cell
phone antennas on the Town's NYNEX communication tower north of Police
headquarters. In addition to receiving revenue from the lease, other
benefits would be a climate controlled room for town equipment and a
new 60 kilowatt generator. The Board will check with Superintendent of
Highways Jacobs to be sure that loss of this room will not have a
detrimental effect on him. The Town Attorney will review the lease amd
present it in final form at,the next board meeting.
9:30 A.M. Comptroller John Cushman and Solid Waste Coordinator
James Bunchuck met with the Board to discuss plans for expenditure of
1998 1/ti% County Sales Tax revenue. For Discussion Item No. (1)
(Resolution no. 9 was placed on the agenda allocating it for debt service
relating to the hydrogeological Investigation at the landfill.) The
Board also discussed and finalized an updated list of properties for
acquisition under the Suffolk County Charter Article 12 Drinking Water
Protection Program. ( Resolution No. 10 was placed on the agenda
pledging the use of these funds.) Solid Waste Coordinator Bunchuck
advised that a grant has been received from Albany under the bond act
for funding in the amount of $325,000.00 which was applied for several
years ago for the tub grinder equipment.. This equipment has already
been paid off, but the money can be Put ~nto the fund balance. C & D
materials were discussed, the wood is not suitable for landfill capping,
it will settle and cause depressions which will allow pools to develop.
In the future, only concrete, asphalt and brick will be allowed. The
lowering of the tipping fee for C & D was discussed because it was said
that contractors are taking it out of town because they feel it is too
expensive to take to our landfill.
10:15 A.M. - Lieutenant Carlisle Cochran, Jr. met with the Board to
discuss the two rapid defibrillatiOn units being offered to the town by
the county. These units give the jolt to start the heart in cardiac
arrests. All fire departments and ambulances have them throughout the
county. They would be .a tremendous benefit to our police department to
help save lives. The Board agreed; the Town Attorney will review the
agreement when it is received from the county and authorization will be
granted at a future meeting.
10:25 A.M. Department Report of Building Department, Code
E.nforcement. Edward Forrester, Department Head presented the Board
.~'..;w~th their new computer generated report, in 1997 there were 1~0 new
dwellings, compared to 99 in 1996. In December 1997 there were 66
building permits written, compared to 55 in December 1996. The reason
for this is the state of the economy, there is a lot more money
available. He will be initiating a new house policy when three inspectors
are present, one will remain behind from inspections, to write permits.
The total for 1996 was 697 permits, 1997 was 710. In addition to building
permits, they also handle pre-C.O, requests and foil information
requests. He reported that the new clerk-typist is .getting up to speed
quickly, as she was formerly a title searcher. He will be instltuting a
pollcy of rotating the inspectors in and out of the office writing permits
and Inspecting on the road. Everyone will have to know everything. He is
looking forward to meeting with the Code Committee, there are some
problems with definitions, uses, and fees; Southold Town is not on par
with the other towns. Fees should cover expenses, currently they do
not. He reported receiving calls regarding enforcement on a regular
JAHUARY 6, 1998
basis. He tries to mediate first and feels that he has been very
successful in many cases. Enforcement is a matter of manpower. Ed will
be required to attend 5 weeks of State Mandated Code Enforcement
training within the next 5 months. He wiU work on the generation of the
reports to track additional data.
11:00 A.M. - James McMahon, Executive Assistant reported on the
progress of the Community Development programs. Eleven (11) affordable
homes were closed on in 1997. Contracts have been returned from
NYS, hopefully construction will begin again in the spring. The Suffolk
County Soil and Water Conservation is progressing on the Stormwater
Mitigation Plan for all of the area around Mattituck Inlet. It is hoped
to improve sheilfishing by correcting the major pollution coming off the
roads. The boat ramps Sakippers Lane, Orient, and Sandy Beach
Road, Greenport Wjil be ' '
~ for spring. The Suffolk County Parks &
RecreatiOn will bE the brush out of the Orient Point Park to make
open fields for .spring. Mr. McMahon reported that 12 to 15
homes wer.e rehab at a cost of approximately $20,00.0.00 per unit.

would like to feel that this proclamatiOn, and the Town Board designating
1998 a Bias Free Year, that is only the foundation, a beginning, and it will

continue from there on. Dorothy Wolf is Co-Chairman of the committee.
Reverend Dozier took part in my inauguration on the first, and we
announced that this is what will be happening this year. He sat with my
family, and he said he liked sitting there, because all they did was talk
about food, after he looked at the size of my family. None of us are
underfed. In all seriousness I will read this proclamation.
WHEREAS, the Town of Southold is committed to securing a decent,
respectful and equitable life for all its citizens and has established an
ANTI-BIAS TASK FORCE to secure that end, and
WHEREAS, the ANTI-BIAS TASK FORCE has studied, explored and
identified elements of prejudice, bias and- exclusion. Bias is a daily
occurrence and is increasing at epidemic rates across the nation; and
WHEREAS, racism and bias ignore, devalue and degrade the wonderful
diversity of our human family, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town .of Southold, in keeping with
the principle of equal civil rights for all, unequivocally oppose any
manifestation of hatred or prejudice towards any group or individual, and
be it further
the Town Board hereby proclaims 1998 as a BIAS FREE YEAR
IN OF ~OUTHOLD and stands together with all people of good
fai[h ihout the"town and pledges to do our utmost through support

This resolution was dUly ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I would just llke a little word of explanation.' We
did not really make any significant changes in our selection, as to what is
most Important. As you know for years we have been trying to save the
property around Laurel Lake, because Laurel Lake is a future water
supply. The only thing we dld was move Cecil Young up, because we just
recently bought the farmland development rights, I believe, to the farm
area of his property, and the property that is right next to the lake, that
is wooded and comes down, we moved up as the top priority, so that we
continue to get the land that is closest to the lake, and then Macarl, and
Nofoe, and so forth are second and third, which is a slight change in our
selection, but this is how it will be.

8 J_ANUARY 6, 1998
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The hearing is scheduled at eight o'clock, so we
have a few minutes before that. As you are aware our Town Clerk Judy
Terry retired after many years of service to the town. One of the_things
that we did, we had received a grant from Cornell Cooperative-Extension
and it was planting native plants, so it was placed down in SilVersmithJs
Corner down on the corner here in the park. It's a lovely garden. I
thought it was great for education. The school takes the kids on a fJeld
trip, and they stop in here, and they stop, in the firehouse, they could
stop and see what plants are native to the area. We decided that we would
dedicate this to Judy T, erry. So, the staff had a party for Judy, and
before that we: all tr~ipse down t~ the corner. Ruth, yes. it was freezing.
We dedicated the garden to Judy, and need!ess to say she was very move~,
and very delighted. I think she had gIven like twenty-eight years as
Clerk, thirty-five in government. Also, a set of plans came in: my office
today from Met Life. . As you may or may'not know Met Life ~lnsurance

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is a Wellness Center, and a place where I like
to call it kind of a sunshine center, because you certainly will feel better
after you go there, but some of the services they are talking about, and
don~t hold me to this, but some of the ideas, there will be a lounge, there
will be computers, there will be six telephones for seniors to call anywhere
in the United States at no'charge. So, there is different services like this
that they are going to be providing, and of course, this is 'the same area
that lan is going to be putting his deck on, so we are going to have some
nice changes up there, that will benefit the: clients that do come. We do
have Senior Day Care, and this Wellness Center Will be showing seniors how
to continue to stay healthy. Many people as they get elderly,: and they are
