The Board met with Barry Pendergrass, NYS Department of State regarding the Sound Shore Erosion Study. Mr. Pendergrass stated that he was here to pass on some information regarding the erosion study in the Mattituck Inlet to Kennys Beach area. Contracts have been awarded for the (1) Environmental Inventory; (2) Geophysical Investigation; (3) Historical ShOreline Analysis; and Shoreline Monitoring. At 'the same time these contracts were issued, a request for proposals went out for a Benefit Analysis to determine how resource values would be reduced due to the erosion problems over a ten (10) year period and then to determine how those losses can best be mitigated. The erosion mitigation proposals are: (1) beach nourishment; (2) sand by-:passTng; and (3) acquisition of property. This benefits analysis study will review the.-results of the current studies and give us a direction of what the optimal measures to be taken would be. Only one proposa,l came back and the work group reviewers felt that it was not enough~ It was re-advertised and two good RFP's came back. Five persons were appointed to review them, among them were Fred Endres, well-known economist, and George Parsons. The Reviewing Board was divided at first, but then they agreed that they all preferred URS Greiner Corporation of Paramus, New Jersey :at a cost of $50,000.00. The other proposal was for $75,00.00 and could not compare with URS Greiner. The Boa:rd questioned the funds available. Mr. Pendergrass said they initially received a grant to do all four of the studies. The o~iginal, grant was for $297,000, and there is $160,000. in the Environmental Protection Fund Grant. He said that he f~elt that there will be .e, nough money to do all of the studies, includ, ing this fifth one.

RESOLUTIONS. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: As you know the Town Board has a policy, that if you would like to address the Town Board on any of the printed resolutions, that we would be very happy to take those comments at this point. If you would like to address the Town Board on any other topic, that is not on the agenda but is Town business we would be very happy to entertain your comments at the end of the meeting. We do have to stop at five o~clock for a public hearing. Is there anyone that would llke to address the Town 'Board, or have a question in relation to any of the resolutions? We have been at work all day today, since nine o~clock. We have taken a goodly amount of Town business, all of which requires a resolution for passage by the Town Board, and if you have a question on any of this we will be more than happy to share it with you. Yes, Mr. Gold? JOE GOLD: Joe Gold, Cutchogue. There are two resolution I would like explained me, so I know whether or not I want to comment on them. One is resolution 21, appointing Town Attorney. Was that decided? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: No, it wasn't, because .we just did the interviews yesterday, and we are going to let them settle in a little bit, and then we will be making the determination and discussing it at our next Board meeting on the 31st. JOE GOLD: Can I request that the information goes to the public? When a resolution disappears it is meaningless. We don't know if the Town Attorney is going to be John Mitchell, .or James Dean, and we also don't know whether it is going to be one attorney and a part-time, like it used to be, or whatever. So, if someone wants to comment about this resolution we have to know what it means. So next time we would appreciate if it had more information. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Until it is discussed in full by the Town Board we also do not ~cnow what direction we will be taking. JOE GOLD: When it appears as a resolution at the next Board meeting you appear to vote on it. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: When it appears as a resolution at the next Board meeting we will have discussed it, whether it will be one .attorney or two, and who it will be. So, it would appear on the agenda, or on the resolution with names inserted at that point. JOE GOLD: That is all it is. When it ready, it appears ready? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is how it will be. JOE GOLD: Okay. Resolution 28, settlement of certiorari proceedings, which certiorari proceedings? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Laury, would you like to answer that? TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: It is a certiorari proceedings that we have done, I believe it is in regards to the Silver Sands Motel, and I could give you a copy of the resolutions afterWards, but, as you can see, it is like a big list of numbers. I guess there is eleven properties, and each one of them is being reduced to different amounts. JOE GOLD: These are taxes? TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: Yes. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Mr. Carlin? FRANK CARLIN: Number four, this comes up quite often, the three weeks to take stuff down there at no charge. Why can't we also at least once a year have it for heavy metal and stuff. Give the people a break instead of spending six cents a pound. If we do it for leaves, why can't we do it at least once a year where they can clean up around their house the heavy metal, instead of going down there and spending six cents a pound. I don't know now, but one time, I think it was twice a year heavy metal pickup, I am not looking for the pickup. I am looking for at least the open period of time, at least once a year, that if you have some heavy metal around you could take it down there free of charge like we do with the leaves, because it gets quite expensive when somebody has stuff to take down there. I think that is no more than fair. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: When Jake and I discussed about the leaf allowing three weeks, there has always been a leaf and brush clean-up in Southold. It's kind of traditional thing, and when we discussed it we were finding that there was more and more, but not only that, it was being piled up for weeks ahead all along the highways, which isn't really a scenic compliment to the village or the towns, so we felt that maybe if we allowed them for three weeks prior to Jake's clean-up to come in with the brush and the leaves that it might alleviate some of the unsightliness, and so on, and so forth. I know what you are saying, Frank. I don't think it has ever been recommended before that we do a metal cleanup, not in my time. FRANK CARLIN: I know years back we used to be able to have everything thrown out there, and the Town would pick it up, but at least have it once a year, even if it is only a week. Give the people a break for God's sake instead of paying six cents a pound to lug the stuff down there, and there Would be less thrown out at the highways, too. It is not going to make or break the town I will tell you that right now. 176 MARCH !7, 1998 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think, too, that we have many citizens in Southold that are elderly, do not have a pickup, or the type vehicle to take this stuff to the landfill themselves, so I don't know if you then have to provide a way for them to have the same opportunity. I mean it is something that we can certainly.. FRANK CARLIN: Let's have it, you have it or you don't have it. They can't get down, maybe they would have a friend or a neighbor who will take it down. Where there is a will there is a way. Even if it is one week a year. Give the people.a break. Think about. It is not going to make or break the town. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Alice, did you have something to add? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I was going to suggest, Mr. Carlin, that with the leaves and the brush we use that, and anticipate using it for the landfill cover, so we were.ir~terested in having that come in...If we were to do it with metal we have pay to get rid of the metal, in which case all of that stuff that came in free would be paid for by the townspeople, in other words, and it is not quite the same. To talk about the leaves, and talk about the metal both coming in free, is not the same thing, because we have to pay to get rid of the metal. FRANK CARLIN: You get paid for when you recycle stuff, don't you? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: It comes out to about 15 cents.. FRANK CARLIN: How about the newspapers that are taken down the dump when you sell them? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: depends on the market. Sometimes yes, and sometimes no, because it SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Also, it depends on your goal. If your goal is to clean the community, and keep it clean, then it has value. FRANK CARLIN: What I am saying is give people a little break here for God's sake once a year if it is going to cost you, or what is it going to cost you. Six cents a pound is a lot of money now. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Let us look at it, Frank. FRANK CARLIN: Number seven, is that the tower that you were talking about that they want to put up by the police' station? That's going to go up? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes. FRANK CARLIN: One hundred forty foot tower is going to go up? COUNCILMAN MOORE: A lease on a existing tower. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: This is Bell Atlantic. The one that is there. FRANK CARLIN: The other one, you hadn't decided yet on the other one? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I think we have given the go ahead. The one that Sprint has offered to build, yes. FRANK CARLIN: You are going ahead with the 1L[0 foot tower? It is foot, isn't it? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is big. FRANK CARLIN: What I was saying is it is a good thing, because you really need that for the police and for the fire department. If you don't need anything else you need one there for communication for safety. Very good. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: .It is taller than what the Town Code allows for towers, but the feeling is that it serves a different purpose than other towers. It relates to all our police, fire, emergency, communications. We can justify. FRANK CARLIN: What I read in the paper there is some hassle about this thing like it was going to end up .being another Bell Atlantic over there on Westiphalia Road. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. I think the to see a tower at a highway department, a police department, communications are necessary for the functioning of that particular department. FRANK CARLIN: Like General MacArthur, '1 shall return. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is there, anyone else that would like to address the Town. Board in relation to any of the. resolutions? {No If not we will proceed with the presentatiOn of the resolu~Clons. 1.-Moved by Co. unciimqn MUrphy, seconded by Justice Evans, WHEREAS, it is the polic~; of the Town of Southold to preserve prime agricultural: soils and; to protect the scenic, open space character of the Town; and WHEREAS, the Town of S. outhold's; Master Plan of .1.97 ~3:i~ .~cl~ in.~9~ ~d 1989, has taken me following _a~_~ns to clearly define, delineate anct_imp~t ~its ~l~O,~ ~ ~ p . ~re:~e~? . prime agricultural so~ a~d~tO prOM thc scenic, open space c~ cz me'fown; slx~cmcauy oy thc adoption of; 1.

This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Councilman Murphy, Councilman Evans, Councilwoman Hussie, SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is the end of our resolutions for today. Is there anyone that would like to address the Board at this time on any topic? Mr. Siegmann? ED SIEGMANN: Ed Siegmann. Before ri get into what I really want to talk about, I see under discussion today under number 11 it said add members to the Cablevision Committee. What was the outcome of that? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Number one, right now it is now a committee. It is Alice who with the Town Attorney negotiates the contract. What I want to do is have the opportunity to check with Pat Acampora, because she is the one what had said that she would set up a task force, and I think it is important to see what direction she is going in, then we certainly will have representation on that force. I am aware of that. ED SIEGMANN: Are you aware of the fact, that the other towns have appointed committees? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: haven't they, Ed? I think they have had committees right along, ED SIEGMANN: Some of them have. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We talk about this through the five East End Town Supervisors and Mayors Association, because I think we all kind of hung together in relation to some decisions, and then there are some that each individual town makes, and so that is why I didn't feel that it was necessary for a committee at that point. ED SIECMANN: Since we are all going to work together with the five east end towns, I would think it would be remiss of Southold not to have a committee if the rest of them are sitting in there with a committee. I went to the last 'meeting. There were some people there that were not officers of the town, but were on the committee from the Cablevision Committee. You know, I don't like to feel~ like a gypsy, when I am in a meeting. I like to feel~ I have some authority to be there, not to be just sitting there, and listening to what goes on, although I was permitted to talk at that meeting. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I don't know what meeting you are referring to. ED SIEC;MANN: A meeting of the five towns, which Alice was present at. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That hasn't been reported to us as a happening. I am only becoming aware of this now as you explain it to me. ED SIEGMANN: All I can say is Alice did a good job at that meeting. SUPER~/ISOR COCHRAN: But it hasn't been reported to the Board, so I can't make any decisions or comments at this time. ED SIECMANN: I am waiting for another meeting date, because we found out at that meeting that contracts in the five towns have different things, and different quotes in them, and that. We intend to have another meeting to try and iron out what the differences are that when we go into a meeting with Ca!blevision under Pat Acampora, I know she is setting it up, that the towns will be uniform. I just want to make the comment again that I think it would be a mistake for Southold Town to be the only one without a committee sitting in there. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Again, .Ed., when it is reported back to the Board we Will discUss it, and make a decision. Thank you. ED SIECMAN.N: My intentions of coming down today was, when we were noti~iedi originally by Cablevision that we couldn't make any complaints untili al~ter ;January 1, after we actually received the bill. They told us we would have to have two people to make a complaint. We decided that they ought to know there is more than two people making the complaint, so when we first started getting out petitions we were sending them into the Public Service Commission. After you passed your resolution stating that you were going to get into this thing, we stopped sending them to the Public Service Commission, and the committee in Riverhead and our committee decided that we would save them, give them to our Town Boards, that when the Town Boards go in they could be uniform in sayingt look, we are representing these people that told us, we 'don't like the way you are running cable television. In Southold here it was collected by TaxPac, and it wa~ collected by the East End Seniors. In Riverhead they were collected by the East End Seniors, and by the Mobile Home Association. I have a package of 2,622 names of people who signed our petitions in Sout:held, and you will find that there are some people who signed the. petitions ti~at don't live in Southold, because we can't stop a person who lives lin R~verhead from .going into the .A.&P, seeing our petition, and signing it. The same.in R. iverhead. They ..w. dl have some people, I am sure, from Southold that will signing their petition. So, I would like to turn over the petitions for the FCC with 2,622 names to the Board, and these petitions have to be mailed or given to those Boards prior to the end of this month, because the rule says that you have ninety days to complain, and ninety days would be up the end of the month, i have another package here for the Public Service Commission, and that has 1,862 names in it, and the reason it is not 2,622 is because we started to mail them ~n, so the,/ have the balance of them in there that would make 2,622. I found the address on the PFC where that goes to. I don't have the address on the FCC where that is supposed to go to, but ! am sure you can find that out. Alice, you are committee of one? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I am a committee of one. ED SIEGMANN:: So, I will turn these over to you with the hopes that they get there before the end of the month. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The Town Clerk will accept them. anyone else who would like address the Town Board? Is there FRANK CARLIN: Frank Carlin. Before I start on the main issue I have just a few things I want to mention here. I haven't forgotten about the A&P traffic light, that we talked about that one meeting there. Some letters in the mail go up to some important people. We are going to start from there, and see what happens. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Can I just say something for a minute, Jean? Mr. Carl in, you weren't here at the last meeting as I remember. We did pass a resolution asking for a study on that. I wasn't sure you were aware of it. FRANK CARLIN: Even if I was in Florida, somebody was. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That has been sent, a certified copy of the resolution, and we will get.a file letter back that says you are now file number such and such, and it takes us many months to do this. Hopefully the request is all the way along, where the rumors are you are going to have a 7-11, which I don't think we need, and next either A&P, and down by the Hess station, so all three areas are covered to try and do it as a broader flow of traffic than just one corner, so we 'will see what they do, Frank. FRANK CARLIN: That's good. I joined your club, and when I finish you will know what I am talking about.' Madame Supervisor, I joined your club. A year ago this time I flew out of MacArthur Airport on Carnival Airlines. We were supposed to leave at 3:00 o'clock. We did~t get off the ground until 8:00 o'clock. Had trouble with the airplane. Engine fuel transfer valve stuck open at the. safety of the flight, so we stayed on the ground for five hours. That wasn't bad. We got down there anyway. The 26th of February this year, the 26th, I flew out of MacArthur on Pan Am. Everything went normal. I had a nice flight. That evening my wife and I was out having dinner, and got talking to somebody there, and they mentioned to me there, did you hear this afternoon Pan, Am went bankrupt? That .is pretty good. You fly the same day the company goes bankrupt. I think the good Lord is trying to tell me something. Ne is trying to tell me I need you to stay here in Southold Town, Frank. I am not going to hold my breath to try to get back my return ticket, because Lord knows when you are going to get it back, because I paid for a round trip. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is itoh your charge card? FRANK CARLIN: Paid by check. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I have a better chance of getting mine back on a charge card than you do with a check. I think yours is gone. Thanks to Brian Murphy, actually I was home and I was packing to leave the next morning, and I wanted to go down and spend a few days with my daughter, Jeanine, who lives Cocoa Beach, and'l hadn't seen for quite some time, so I am busy packing. I didn't have a radio on, or a TV, and the phone rings, and Brian says, Jean, I don't like to be the bearer of poor news, but Pan Am just went belly up, and I said, no, and he said, yes. So, of course, calling .the travel agent immediately, but by the time we worked through even that much the tickets were up to $900., and there was no way so I just said, jump in the car and drive, so that is what I did. FRANK CARLIN: On my way back, Delta wanted $400 a piece to bring us back. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Just for one way? FRANK CARLIN: One way, one person. We managed to connect with an airline, which I never heard of before was Air Tran, which was Value Jet, the one that went into the Everglades. Anyway, we made out. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You better stay home, Frank. Back to town business. Do you have something for us? FRANK CARLIN: This is Town business. Councilwoman Hussie, I had chance .to read your Pool Committee report. I tell you it is something. Really. I tell you it's really nice. I think so. I sound like Columbo now. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is a Center for Family Activities Committee now. You have to remember that, Frank. FRANK CARLIN: It is a beauty. I tell you, that is a beauty. It reminds me of Jack Lalanne. How nice it is. It is beautiful. The lobby, the lounge, all those couches, and leather chairs, and everything, that is like the Taj Maha in Atlantic City, and the basketball court is like Madison Square Carden. Beautiful. Beautiful. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Frank, would you make the point. FRANK CARLIN: I going to right now. I haven't changed my mind, we need that in this town like a hole in the head. If we are going to spend $4,000,000 for this pool, or whatever you want to call it now, you talked about a while back you need a new town hall. You are going to spend $4,000,000 for this pool, why not build a new town hall? Get the people out of the cellar. Bring them up to see daylight for a change. They say in here we are surrounded by water, both sides, gives the children an opportunity to learn how swim. That is what you have the Red Cross for in the summertime, kids classes on how to swim. Safety. Six hundred and twelve students voted; Out of six hundred and twelve, 158 voted for it, and no was 54. That ~s only 1/6th of the students we have in our schools here in Southold between high school and elementary. That is 1/6th of the children were polled. They don't have to pay the bill, though. It's always the parents that pays the bills. You took this from St. Josephine's College, In other words you are trying to compete with this facility here to compare to a college. It doesn't make sense, that Mayor Kapeil has plans on having one only elght miles away, or seven miles away, in Greenport. I don't know why it would be reasonable if he has one why we need one here. What I said before~ my opinion is move Town Hall. You have been talking about that. If you are going to spend $~,000,000 I would rather see this Io~k like the town hall. The trouble with this Town Board is, and the Board before this, is you sometimes can't get priorities in order. You need that like a hole in the head, Alice Hussie. I aln~t afraid to tell you so. You can have your comments all you want. I want to keep it short, because I want to go for corned beef and cabbage tonight, but you want to debate ~this further, I will debate it for you. COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: ri am not interested in debating it, Mr. Carlin. Not now. I just wanted to let you know that the pictures that you see there are suggestions. They are not anything that the committee, or the Board.. FRANK CARLIN: What did you set. them for then? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: In order to give you an idea of what we are talking about. All of this has to be voted upon by you and others. We present a few ideas to you. After that it falls in your court. FRANK CARLIN: The prices of this stuff, too. We have the average working people in this town, you know. They are not all rich. Five hundred family member's share $350.00 a piece. Three hundred senior memberships $175.00 a piece. Five hundred separate memberships, $200.00 a piece. I mean, everything looks good on paper. I don't know. We don't need it in my opinion. You are wasting your time. I would rather see a town hall, and you have talked about that town hall several times already. In fact, I suggested; it at one time that you look at the building over here that was vacant from the North Fork Bank on Youngs Avenue there, and you let that go through. That would have been a nice spot. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We investigated that. FRANK CARLIN: You investigated it, but too late. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The bank sold it out from under us. take the responsibility for that one. won't FRANK CARLIN: Anyway, I would rather see a town hall here where you need. It is a disgrace that people-have to work down in the cellar. Bring them up for some air. One more thing while I am hot here. ED SIEGMANN: The corned beef is getting cold. FRANK CARLIN: I got one more thing. I can't let this go by. It will be a short one. Suffolk Times had a couple of weeks ago in here, in the newspaper, about farmstand supposed to be selling golf balls. I think that is real cute. That is an odd sense of humor there, you know? That's really nice. I guess he is trying to compete with the cartoons we have on Sundays in the Newsday, but there are three things missing here, I have to tell Troy there are three things missing. He don't have a pipe in the guy's mouth, and not only golf balls, you could sell golf carts,-and ~go.!~ accessories, too. Very good. I enjoyed that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anything else, Frank? FRANK CARLIN: No, that's all. Now, you can get your corned beef and cabbage. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Frank. I have to backtrack a little bit. There is a piece of business that~ was overlooked as a resolution in relation to the sale of property. 31.-Moved by Supervisor Cochran, seconded by Councilman Moore, WHEREAS, the Town of Southold acquired a parcel of land in 196~ located at Ryder Landing as shown on the map of Orient By The Sea, Section Two, filed on October 25, 1961 in the Suffolk County Clerk's Office as Map NO. 3/~q, in said Town; WHEREAS, it is no longer necessary for the Town to retain said property; and WHEREAS, Janet T. Swanson is the owner of property on the west side of said parcel, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED AND DETERMINED,pursuant to the provisions of Town law Section 6~ and subject to a permissive referendum, that the Town Board of the Town of Southold in regular session duly convened does hereby authorize and direct the Supervisor of said Town to execute and deliver to said purchaser, Janet T. Swanson a deed conveying the Town property in exchange for the payment of $190,000.00 to the Town, subject to a permissive 'referendum as permitted by law. RESOLVED that pursuant to Sections 82 and 90 of the Town Law that within ten (10) days from the date of this resolution the Town Clerk shall post and publish a notice which shall set forth the date of the adoption of the resolution, shall contain an abstract of such resolution concisely setting forth the purpose and effect thereof, shall specify that this resolution was adopted subject to a permissive referendum, and shall publish such notice in the Traveler Watchman, a newspaper published in Suffolk County having general circulation in the Town of Southold, and in addition thereto that the Town Clerk shall post or cause to be posted on the sign board of the Town of SouthOld, a copy of such notice within ten (10) days after the date of the adoption of this resolution. Said resolution shall not become effective until 30 days after adoption. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: What this is all about is, we have a piece of surplus property down in Ryder Landing in Orient. It has been there for many years. Twelve years ago I had recommended to the Board that it be sold, and the money used to fully benefit the entire township rather than a small nucleus of people. It is in a developed subdivision. They have their own beach access and so forth, their picnic area, beach access. I think what happened years ago when they developed this subdivision is that one lot was requested by the Town to have it, as I would say, an access to the Sound. Now, we support as many access to the Sound as we. can. We support those kind of things. We think that the public has every right to access both the Bay and the Sound. But, this is in a subdivision. The Highway Superintendent has found that it would not qualify for a road in the sense of that. A road is not really build-able there. It's a bluff kind of thing. We have also found that the adjoining property owner is i¥~ARCH 17, 1998 189 interested in buying it for her protection on that side of the property. The price negotiated has been $190,000. We would like to take these funds, and use them in another manner that would avail the Town of perhaps future planning. Frank, you just spoke up that we have outgrown Town Hall a long, long time ago. We have people in the basement. We have people on both sides. It is all illegal. We shouldn't be breaking these laws, but we have no place to put these people. It has been my feeling for awhile, and hopefully the support of the Town Board as far as votes are COncerned, that we purchase the property on the corner. I have to be completely up front with you. The building that is presently on the property is not usable. If the corner lot is purchased that would add to squaring off the property. I feel that it is a good business decision anyhow, because you are squaring off the Town's property. We have a lot back here that we have never utilized. It may not be this Town Board. It may not be a Town Board for ten years from now, but .in the future somewhere we have to have adequate property to perhaps do an annex for Town Hall. It could be done in good taste. It could be done in the vein of appearing much like,our present Town Hall. There was some opposition to us mo~/ing Town Hall.. that ~hiS is. a gateway, into the commun, ity, that we have the ~ see TOWn Hall svhlCh has a cou~ .atmosPher~e. people .stop in from up island,, and say, is th~. kind of town hall you see in the movies, because It The last time around back it was ny Of ~ of 3n to location.

If there is a~ne that would lik~ to know more~ or have any questions~, I certainly, Supervisor, I am available. ¥ouh my office, or you ¢~n's I would say any of the Town i~oal r~, but I think this is the direction we will be going. It 19 0 ,VARCH 17, 1998 31. - Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Romanelli, Councilman Moore, JUstice Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Councilman Evans, Murphy,- Councilman Councilwoman Hussie, SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I apologize for it being overlooked, It was not intentional. Is there anyone else that would like to address the Town Board?r Frank? FRANK CARLIN: Just one thing. You said here you don't have the money to build this town hall, you just don't have it right now, You don't have the money to build a town hall, what are you spending $~,000,000. to build a pool here? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Your point is well made. FRANK CARLIN: You go into a $2,000,000. bond issue. ~Vi~0RL~OC'I~_~'[~:-~- Anyone else like to address the Town Board? (No response.) If not, I will quickly call for Board report starting on my right with Mr. Murphy. Do you have anything to report at this time? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Just quickly, on one of the resolutions that was passed today on the Sound Shore study 'for the mitigation survey, this is part of a study'that is going on. If you go up along the Sound right now you will see survey markers, and everything else, people working up there making' .these studies to look at the erosion Problems up :there, and hopefully .cOme up with recommendations of hoTM we may be able to stop this. So; this was the last resolution in a series of five resolutions for contracts for these stud~ies. We should have the total study pictures probably around the middle of September, so just so you know where those came from. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, and once again, thank you for the boutonnieres, even though John wore his backwards all day. Louisa? JUSTIC~E EVANS: I want to thank the Board for giving the money from the Grant Program to the Conservancy. We are testing the waters, because I don't I~now how many from over here hear about it, but it does affect you. It is ~the Navy dumping off Race Point at Fishers. They plan to continue dumping there, and the Town today granted $5,000 so the Conservancy could test the water, because it is their belief, and the belief of people on Long Island, too, that have joined the lawsuit that the water has been polluted: by .the dumping. So, I thank the Board for passing on that letting us contribUte to the testing program. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: On behalf of the Board, and on behalf of the Town,. you are welcome. I think it is important, and you people are watching out for the benefit of all of us. JUSTICE EVANS: I think it should be made clear that it is not just a Fishers Island issue. It is a Long Island Sound issue. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: No, thousands of dollars have been donated. It is Long Island Sound issue, so with our blessing. On my left, John Romanelli? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: The only thing I would like to do is remind everyone about the Scenic Byway Committee's contest for the most beautiful, and the ugliest contest they have. They have a cash prize of $250. They have to be pictures of either the Main Road, or the North Road, and they all have to be submitted by April 30th. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Okay, I had that on my list also just to remind people, because the committee has already started receiving entries, and I think it is going to be kind of fun. I might enter, and take a couple myself. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: The barn on the North Road fell down, so that is out of the contest. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: My son has pictures of the day before, and the day after, so we have been taking a series of picture for the last two years watching this barn, and we knew the minute it got soaked he came home, and said to his father, Dad, it's going tonight, and it went. You would be surprised, as you rode along the North Road how many people stopped taking a picture of that barn. Alice Hussie? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: In relation to the Cablevision meeting that we had on March 2nd, it was the five .towns. Riverhead was the host. We did come to some agreement on some points, such as, since we are in the time of telecommunications towers, I brought to the groups attention, that the way the contract read now that Cablevision could put up all the towers, whatever they needed in order to continue to provide electronic services. So, that was one thing. We also agreed on the length of the contract. At least that the one pf;oPosed was tOo long, but nevertheless during the meeting we got a call from Pat Acampora's office, where she was discussing with us the fact that She did want tO have some 'sort.of a joi.nt meeting With the Attorney GeneraJ, so we kind of left everything m get back is recently. at that meeting, LIL, be throug that w~s decislion, an( little bit, having went Hau they the went of the F did Londo~ much been have sa' nothir fighti suit Also; you ' meeting as soon as all the other people e~bviously vacat;ion time, so I am hoPing it COngressman Fbrbes' n~me WaS brou~h/~ up that' he was able to use the center.

We had couldn't tell we are all punchy up here, so I will be point. The Code Committee was meeting last week on two years plus we have waded through, and waded a sudden, I don't know how you guys felt about it, but ~nd it was like someone turned the light on, and said~ to do. things. In an effort to simplify our Code and people we are going to start looking at a way to in a given zone, and roll them ali into one, so that person, and you want a piece of commercial property · I downtown in Southold, or Mattituck, or Cutchogue, and you are renting it out to the shoe store, and the shoe store wants to' go out, and you want to rent to somebody else, if the uses are within a framework that is similar and compatible, you don~t have to come to town and get a new site plan, or a site plan waiver, or be processed, and' having sat on that committee for all this time, and waded through the way we did it to come to this new idea to me was, I won't say, exciting. That's overstating it, but it was interesting., and eye opening, and ! am somewhat excited about the prospect for simplifying our Zoning 'Code, and making life a I'ittle easier around here when it comes to dealing with the Code as local merchants and-business people have to. Tomorrow the Code Committee is back on greenhouses, and we had Melissa Spiro working. She went all over town on the weekend taking photographs of greenhouses, so the committee can get an idea of what is out there, and she is going to make some recommendations to us on setbacks and th!ngs, like that.. Hopefully; iif not tomorrow than two weeks thereafter We wdl have some final reCommendations to the Town Board on what we can or should do with ;es. Thursday the ~ Housing Committee is we are on recommendations to we can our existing Code, and regard to that. :We have week, and l have talked it'qu~tS of SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I agree with Bill kind of shop, and: why do you hay( As Bill explained, this morning, if it there ig a. difference. There ' and so forth, but when and the n~ext weel~ you are , complin~ent .the committee for would just I'ike to quickly, : would jUSt like to share a cou would '.like contest. I and best, and I Brian Murphy, LaValle, and Pat It's the same whole process'? to a shoe store and 3to bond act c0ming c grant the first mean it is going ~o be have ~eceived~ iandfi recycling. We .still! feel projects that Sh0uid be down in Orient, it is as you go across ithe causeway, It that should be saved., So, and the DEC,. i The propert~y PeconiC" Lanai into easement being develc where to other pieces we ae future. I can' when we we[re and Senator said, this was a good hands are empty. I want something right i with Dam Pond, but hopefully we are where else we can find funding. is So, we were see for partnerships for Bob Gaffney, I shouldn't say, Bob, but I cali him, Bob, County Executive Gaffney, and his partnership have the opportunity to match funds with them, from the Nature Conservancy, from Halsey from the Peconic ~Land Office, he is in charge of ~the a nucleus of people..We are going to sit than welcome. Br an Murphy is the as was Dick Ryan, but we are are going to sit down, ~.r ~our possibilities are. what go in try twARCH 17, '~998 properties. The County is sitting there with money waiting to partnership with Southold. They have obligated themselves to us, so we want to look and see what is the best direction to go. Also, I had a notice in the office from the County in relation to senior citizens, that the con games are rampant again in relation to repair people, so they wanted us to once again say to our senior population, and Ed, maybe you can help spread the word that the con men are out in full force again trying to bilk the senior citizen out of their funds in relation to repairs, fixing your driveway, this kind of thing so the more word we can spread the more perhaps we save one heartache by spending money that they shouldn't have spent. As you know we hay a town. wide cleanup. Mr. Ristuccia is a part of nittee, and we finally have set up a meeting for March 24th at 4:00 P.M. with representatives from the schools. It would be very nice if anyone from the committee could attend. We are going to send them out ~the notice. We are to the point where we have been working towards this goal through the Community Pride Committee to try to get our young people involved as much as 'we can. The meeting will consist of anyone from the CommunitY Pride committee in addition representatives of the three schools along ~ith their counselors ~o sit and discuss how we can do this. Mattituck School ts even to the point next year of possibly making, a commitment of the senior graduating class to the community tn ~a community project 'as their curriculum, as a part of I t ..... being able to graduate. .~y'feeli.ng, and hlnk .you know it, In working with young people is that ~fly°u. give them oWnership they become involved, and {hey also take ithe responsibility therein. So, it is very important that we do get them involved, and that we do plan. I had a come in from the Southold Schoo]i, and say they were very he put up a list in the hallway, and he has got over 30 up on his list. We will be doing the same in the other and this isn't just to get high school, or lower involved in cleani:~cj up the litter. It is more than t~t. What I would like to see them [nv°lv~d :in is the planning of the c~Perati°n, you know as Save the Bays has done every year, and groups .volunteer to do this beach and that beach. We want to grid the whol.e town. We'want then to do the planning. We want them to help get the invoil~ement of your service clubs, be i~ Rotary, Lions. It is important that they learn some of these skills, because they are skills that will last them the rest of their llfe. Their role in llfe i~n.t just Picking up litter, because adults throw litter out, too. It is not ~Ust young people, so if we can bring together a partnership in young people~ and some of us older citizens working together to get the job done and Spruce and clean up Southeld before the summer season. In addition, I I~now some of the merchants in Southold have gotten together. We have been w. orkinig with the merchants from Mattituck as far as beautification in the Mattituck village. I had a call from the Southold Village the other day, some of the merchants, and they want to do the same thing, and wanted to see how the Town could work together with them, also, so, Joe, it is beginning to become contagious like we felt it would, that if someone starts~ ~thers than also begin to look at the beautification and take pride in South~ld, which we all love dearly, but it instills in people not to throw that Piede cE paper on the ground. So, this is where we.are with th.e sp.ring cleanup, and I would urge any of you out there that is ~nterested ~n belng'a part this, working with our young people, please, notify my office. Mr. Siegmann? ED SIEGMANN: Since the corned beef is cold anyway, I want to ask you a question, something I think you should take a look at. You know we pay taxes on these private roads, but when you have a cleanup the private roads don't get a bit of attention as far as cleanups are concerned. I think the people that live on those private roads, and any extra taxes for those roads, ought to at least get some kind of service when the clean up comes. 1 9 4 A ARCH 17, 998 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: In my mind, part of the planning operation, that we would put into effect is we will encourage., usually-on a private road it is an association, so what we want to encourage our people within an association to take care of their area. Everyone is going to have to work together on this. May I have a motion to adjourn?' Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Councilman Romanelli, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be .and hereby is adjourned at 6:00 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman Romanelli, Counci~lman Moore, Justice Evans, COuncilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly:ADOPTED. Elizabeth A.
