A Regular Meeting of the Southold Town Board was held Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at the Southold Town Hall, Southold, New York. Supervisor Horton opened the meeting at 7:30 P.M. with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Present: Absent: Supervisor Joshua Y. Horton Justice Louisa P. Evans Councilman John M. Romanelli Councilman Thomas H. Wickham Councilman Daniel C. Ross Councilman William P. Edwards Deputy Town Clerk Linda J. Cooper Town Attorney Patricia A. Finnegan Town Clerk Elizabeth A. Neville (attending New York State Town Clerk's Annual Conference) SUPERVISOR HORTON: Welcome to the 7:30 P.M. meeting of the Southold Town Board. It is the policy of the Town Board to give the public the opportunity to address the Town Board at several portions over the course of the evening. First portion of the Town Board dedicated to the public addressing the Board is prior to the reading and voting on any of our resolutions that are on the printed agendas. After we are through with the printed agenda and voting on the resolutions, we offer the floor to the public to address the Board on any town related business. There are also public hearings scheduled throughout the evening, at which point, when we enter into the public hearings, we again afford the opportunity to the public to address the Board on those specific public hearings. It is also the policy of the Board, we request that when addressing the Board, you do so from either of the microphones located at the front of the room, when ! first took office ! used to say 'bow of the ship', took me a while to break myself of that habit; two mikes at the front of the room, state your name and place of residence, so it is clearly entered into our records. We do have several reports, April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 2 communications and public notices available for public review, they are available at the Town Clerk's office, which is open from 8:00 A.M. through 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. At this point, ! actually have a presentation that ! would like to make to, ! don't know how to describe this person's talents but Mr. David Nyce is really distinguished in his art and in his trade, and he has produced something that is of great significance to the Town. David, if you don't mind coming forward for a moment. If you notice in the lobby of Town Hall, there is a carving of the tree in the hall right there and there are two plaques that have several names on it. Those are people who have contributed to the Town's tree donation program and they are filled up, we are running out of room for the plaques. So David took it upon himself, was kind enough to use his own wood and his own time and his own wealth of talent to actually hand carve these. And these will be hung in an appropriate spot in Town Hall, so more names can be added. So, David, on behalf of the Town ! want to really thank you. This is a real treasure for us. In my job as a Supervisor on a daily basis, ! come across more and more people who have extreme talent and exceptional skills that, you know, they are not on the front page of Newsday and ! think it is important that we recognize these people, like David. So we all walk away from here knowing that there is a wealth of talent that exists in our little town, it is out there and is a real significant part of our community. So, David, thanks a lot. Certificate of Appreciation Presented to David Nyce On behalf of our community, thank you for the beautiful carving work you have donated for the Southold Town Tree Committee Memorial. Your support of this program is deeply appreciated. Joshua Y. Horton Southold Town Supervisor We have a certificate from my office to you. So we will have to get an approval of the audit, please.

You should put it on so they can hear it so they don't complain. Resolution #326, these people just gave money, they don't get interest on it, they just get their money back? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Correct. April 20, 2004 6 Southold Town Board MS. EGAN: Good. #327, talk to me. SUPERVISOR HORTON: We are applying for a grant for farmland preservation. MS. EGAN: Okay. And #328 is the same as #326. Okay, #330. Why do we have, is this more money allocation money for legal counsel? SUPERVISOR HORTON: No, this is a standard undertaking every year for the Assessors. MS. EGAN: What do you mean? SUPERVISOR HORTON: It means that the Assessors have a need for legal counsel and from time to time they engage legal counsel. MS. EGAN: And we use local people. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes, we do. MS. EGAN: Good. Unusual. Now, #332, I would presume she is a local resident, Karen Harney? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes. MS. EGAN: Now, this William Crowley, that is the Fishers Island thing and I think you did explain what the qualifications were, the last meeting and I am sure he met those qualifications, correct? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes. MS. EGAN: Good. Now, #335. What is that all about? More money? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Mrs. Egan, that money was in the budgeted for in the '04 budget and now it is being appropriated for this particular project, which is for a new van for the offices of the Human Resource Center. MS. EGAN: Now do they use these vans throughout the summer? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes, Mrs. Egan, they use them year-round. MS. EGAN: Don't answer me so abruptly. Oh yes, #338. That is again Mr. Harris and the Highway Department which has done a terrible, terrible job. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Our Highway Department is one of the finest on Long Island. MS. EGAN: Pardon? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Our Highway Department is one of the finest on Long Island and that speaks for every single member of it. April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 7 MS. EGAN: That is your opinion, not mine. So we need more money? SUPERVISOR HORTON: What is your next resolution, Mrs. Egan? MS. EGAN: No, I am asking you, what are you going to do? He is going to need more money? SUPERVISOR HORTON: No, that is a bill that is being carried in the New York State Senate, that basically regulates how much money Highway Departments can spend before requesting an appropriation from a Town Board and going out to bond. MS. EGAN: Okay. #339, I don't know where all this money is going to come from. SUPERVISOR HORTON: It is in the budget, Mrs. Egan. MS. EGAN: No, I know we always, we pay Peter to pay Paul, and we borrow from here and .... SUPERVISOR HORTON: It is a standard accounting procedure. MS. EGAN: So we need a park improvement project. That I would imagine, with the brutal winter that we had that we .... SUPERVISOR HORTON: I will tell you exactly what it is for, it is for steps on Horton's Point; it is for improvements to 67 steps in Greenport; for Skipper Horton park, installation of a sign and landscaping which is right by the Lutheran Church; it is for Silversmith corner in Southold; it is for Orient Point County Park; it is for Dock beach in Fishers Island; Cochran Park in Southold and so forth. MS. EGAN: Yeah, well that is understandable. Now this #341, the bids for the road surface .... SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. We are going to put that out to bid. MS. EGAN: Yeah. And we usually use Corazzini or local people. SUPERVISOR HORTON: We always use who is the lowest bidder. MS. EGAN: Good. Now, that was all the police matter and that was good. I was disappointed but I did find out, I was hoping that one of the ladies would be promoted for Sergeant, but she only came in fourth so she will be the next one. Oh, now on this Love Lane? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes. We are holding a public hearing on that tonight. MS. EGAN: What is the project.., you really, I think, need a full light there. SUPERVISOR HORTON: We will be holding a public hearing on that and you can speak to it at that point. April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board MS. EGAN: Oh, good. Because ! think you really should put into your computer upstairs that we put a real traffic light there, it is horrible. Oh, what is #354? The fire department that is falling apart in Greenport because they are losing volunteers. SUPERVISOR HORTON: This is authorizing me to sign a contract with the Greenport Village for fire protection and emergency services in the east-west fire district. MS. EGAN: What do you mean by that? SUPERVISOR HORTON: How do ! explain that? Basically, there is a district, the east-west fire district is set up to provide fire protection services outside of the Village of Greenport, basically between Southold and East Marion. MS. EGAN: Is this in anticipation .... SUPERVISOR HORTON: This has been in effect for decades. It is how the fire and emergency services are delivered to that area. By the Greenport fire department. MS. EGAN: I didn't know whether it was in your thinking about the Chapel Lane thing in that regard. Now, #357, this is Mr. Bunderchuk's baby, right? And ! can tell you as a taxpayer an observer and talking with people who work on the roads, that everybody is totally disgusted with the town dump and with those brown papier-mache bags, that cost what, 37, 38 cents and they are rotting. SUPERVISOR HORTON: It is only for a better environment, Mrs. Egan. MS. EGAN: Supposedly. Every... SUPERVISOR HORTON: People just have to deal with that .... MS. EGAN: Uh uh. When ! am speaking you are listening. ! had not finished. SUPERVISOR HORTON: There is no resolution on about the brown bags, so we are going to stick with the resolutions. MS. EGAN: No. Well, then let's finish this one. Improvement of the facilities of the Solid Waste Management district. ! think that is all part of Mr. Bunderchuck? No? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. MS. EGAN: Well, he has done a terrible job. It is a mess up there and everyone is furious that we taxpayers here on the east end pay so much for garbage. Every other town has a better way of doing it for less money. ! think Mr. Bunderchuck had something in the paper regarding the grass and the machines and this and that. He is not out there doing the lawns, he is not out there cleaning up, he is in management, which is just great but let me tell you the guys who have to do it are complaining humongously. A friend of mine went up there with the leaves and unfortunately, he had a few grass April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 9 clippings in and he was sent away. Disgraceful. You are the boss, Mr. Horton, let's get going on something better for the Town of Southold for garbage. The yellow bag, you don't have your own home yet, you don't know what it is like to have to clean-up and put away, do you? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is very nice, Mrs. Egan. That was just mean, but we will let it go. You are mean to me on a regular occasion. The voice mails you leave for me are mean, the insults you have made to my family. But you know what, you are an important part of our community and enjoy working with you and you always bring something important to the Town. So, ! can look over a lot of the lewd and mean comments you make to me. Would anyone else care to address the Board on the resolutions?

The proposed Local Law entitled "A Local Law in Relation to the Town of Southold Workforce Housing Fund" reads as follows: LOCAL LAW NO. of 2004 A Local Law in Relation to the Town of Southold Workforce Housing Fund: Section I- Town Code Amended The Town Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended by adding a new Chapter 98 to read as follows: Chapter 98. Town of Southold Workforce Housing Fund. April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 12 {}98-1. Purpose. The Town of Southold Workforce Housing Fund will provide the Town with a mechanism to obtain funding and create programs that will increase housing opportunities for families and individuals who are residents of the Town of Southold and/or employed in the Town of Southold who cannot procure affordable housing within the Town. {}98-2. Findings. The lack of affordable housing creates many adverse effects for the town. Regional employers grapple with the task of hiring and retaining employees due to the limited availability of affordable housing. Recruiting and retaining essential personnel (police officers, firefighters, teachers, nurses, etc.) has become increasingly a challenge due to the lack of affordable housing. Volunteer emergency services are also impacted by the lack of affordable housing, prompting the possible necessity of replacing volunteer services with paid employees. While the Town has benefited from increased tourism and second homeownership, it must also sustain a population who can afford to live and work in Town. To address this housing shortage, the Town of Southold must create a myriad of housing initiatives that reinvest in the lives of residents who live and/or work in the Town. The talented and vibrant energy that was and is invested in community land preservation must be replicated to create affordable housing for a sizable number of residents who lack the financial means to rent and/or purchase housing within the Town. The priority population for community housing will be as follows: · Income eligible individuals/families who live and work in the Town of Southold who provide volunteer emergency/life saving services for residents of the Town · Income eligible individuals/families who live and work in the Town of Southold · Income eligible individuals/families who live in the Town of Southold · Income eligible individuals/families who work in the Town of Southold · Income eligible individuals/families who previously lived in the Town and wish to return Efforts in the past to create affordable housing have failed in their ability to keep the housing stock affordable upon resale. Therefore, to promote perpetual affordability within the Town, all recipients of said housing will be legally bound to sell their properties to the Town's Workforce Housing Fund. Resale price formulas for homes purchased from the Fund will be as follows: · No individual/family who purchases a home from the Fund may sell their home for a profit within the first five years of ownership. · Homes sold after five years of ownership will realize profits that are the equivalent percentage of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as compiled by the United States Department of Labor. The percentage will be calculated from the date of sale from the Fund to the date of resale to the Fund. In addition, the Fund will compensate the seller for major capital improvements that are improved in advance by the Workforce Housing Advisory Commission. Depreciation may be applied to capital improvements. {}98-3. Definitions. As used in this section, the following words and terms shall have the following meanings: FUND -- the Town of Southold Workforce Housing Fund authorized pursuant to this local law. INCOME ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS/FAMILIES--- those individuals/families whose incomes are below the designated percentage of the HUD median income for the County of Suffolk. In addition, individuals/families seeking grant assistance and loans from other public funding sources may be limited to household incomes less than the HUD median income for the County of Suffolk. TOWN --the Town of Southold. April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 13 WORKFORCE HOUSING -- is defined as housing for households whose incomes are not sufficient, pursuant to banking industry standards, to induce private lenders to finance the costs of acquisition of a home with a value at or less than median value as determined by the Town's assessment rolls, without benefit of subsidies or special financing programs from the Town in the case of owner-occupied housing, or in the case of rental housing, as housing for households whose income is insufficient to pay the monthly costs for such housing and maintain such costs within the required percentages of the household's income based upon banking industry standards. {}98-4. Fund Established. A. The Town Board hereby establishes a Workforce Housing Fund. Deposits into the fund may include revenues of the Town from whatever source, including but not limited to: (1) all revenues from a bond approved pursuant to the local finance law for the purpose increasing affordable community housing opportunities; (2) general fund balances, or surpluses, in accordance with the Town's surplus policy; (3) any proceeds received by the local government from the sale or rental of community housing produced from revenues of the fund; (4) the repayment of any loans issued from proceeds of the fund; (5) any gifts of interests in land or funds; (6) any county, state or federal grants received by the town for providing community housing; (7) any future applicable transfer tax which may be enacted subsequent to the enactment of this legislation; (8) recaptured funds from previous town housing initiatives. B. Interest accrued by monies deposited into the fund shall be credited to the fund. In no event shall monies deposited into the fund be transferred to any other account. C. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prevent the financing in whole or in part, pursuant to the local finance law, of any project or purpose authorized pursuant to this chapter. Monies from the fund may be utilized to repay indebtedness or obligations incurred pursuant to the local finance law consistent with effectuating the purposes of this chapter. D. No interest or right in real property shall be acquired pursuant to this chapter until a public hearing has been held before the Town Board, and a resolution has been passed approving the acquisition. However, nothing shall prevent the Town Board from entering into a conditional purchase agreement before a public hearing is held. E. No expenditure shall be made pursuant to this chapter until a public hearing has been held before the Town Board, and a resolution has been passed approving the expenditure. F. Any acquisition or expenditure made pursuant to this chapter shall include a finding that it is being authorized in furtherance of the goals set forth in this chapter. {}98-5. Purposes of the Fund. A. The proceeds of the fund established pursuant to {}98-4 shall be utilized in accordance with law for the following purposes: (1) the provision of no-interest or low-interest loans to income eligible residents who work and/or live in the Town for the purchase of a first home; (2) the actual production of community housing for sale and resale to income eligible residents who work and/or live the Town; (3) the actual production of community housing for sale to income eligible residents who work and/or live in the Town in conjunction with other April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 14 public/private partnerships such as the North Fork Housing Alliance and the Community Land Trust of Southold who agree with the stated priority population and income eligibility guidelines; (4) the actual production and maintenance of rental housing for rent to income eligible residents who work and or live in the Town or in conjunction with public/private partnerships who agree with the stated profit guidelines; (5) the rehabilitation of existing buildings and structures in the Town for the purpose of conversion to community housing for sale or rental to income eligible residents who work and/or live in the Town; (6) the provision of housing counseling services by not-for-profit corporations that are authorized by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide said services; (7) the fund will ensure the perpetual affordability of housing through determining resale prices of any home purchased through the fund. This will be accomplished through the following: the Town of Southold reserves the right to require that all housing units purchased through the fund remain affordable in perpetuity.

This resolution shall take effect immediately. Vote of the Town Board: Aye: Councilman Edwards, Councilman Ross, Councilman Wickham, Councilman Romanelli, Justice Evans, Supervisor Horton. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! wanted to mention something to the Board, ! do it now because ! meant to do it at the work session but ! didn't have numbers in but as you know, as a result of the declined stock market over the past few years, the pension fund for both CSEA and the Police has been in bad shape. A lot of money was lost over the past few years due to various investments in the tanked stock market and as a result of that, the Town's contribution to the pension fund has increased substantially, placing an enormous burden on our local budget. That doesn't just affect the Town, it affects every school district as well. The State Comptroller has issued a proposal, a plan to deal with the pension fund crisis, that would essentially set a minimum contribution of 4 lA % of our annual payroll as the Town's contribution to the pension fund. But the '04-'05 projections are looking at 11 and 18%, which means an increase in our contribution to the pension fund, an increase of about $1,000,000 and perhaps a little bit more than $1,000,000, which is a tremendous, tremendous burden to shoulder for a local budget. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: For next year? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is correct. The Governor has, Governor Pataki has put together a proposal that was calling for a reform of the pension fund by way of a 2 lA % minimum contribution April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 27 with a 6 lA % cap. If the Governor's pension reform is adopted by the Legislature and essentially by the State Comptroller, which will take quite a bit of political muster on everybody's part to get that to the State Comptroller's attention and have him act on that, but if that was the case, Southold Town-our budget and I don't know what the school district impact will be, it will be much more enormous in the school district, each school district but we will save under the Governor's proposal in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. So, I am going to bring resolution to the Town Board at the next Board meeting, to call for action from this Board to support either the Governor's plan or I understand that the Assembly minority and the Senate majority are formulating a pension reform plan as well. I will get a sense from John Cushman, our Comptroller, as to which plan really works best for the Town and ask for a resolution in support of that. I just wanted to give the Board an update on that and John Cushman is getting me some numbers on what our savings would be under the Governor's plan and I will circulate them to you, first thing in the morning. At this point, we do turn the floor over again to the public to address the Town Board on any town related business. Ms. Schroeder. GWYNN SCHROEDER: Good evening. I just want to say to Mr. Carlin, if he would like to come on a committee to educate the people of Southold how to reduce household waste, we would love to have him. I am addressing, as the Town Board is probably aware, earlier this month the US Environmental Protection Agency released the final environmental impact statement for the designation of dredge material, disposal sites in Long Island Sound. And despite objection by numerous elected officials, civic and environmental groups from Long Island, the EPA has concluded that dumping toxic dredge spoil, some of the spoil originating from super (inaudible) sites in Connecticut will not have an adverse impact on the health and environment of the Long Island Sound. NFEC feels that the EIS is flawed, dismisses alternatives such as upland disposal without thorough consideration and puts the short term economic considerations ahead of long term considerations to the health of the Long Island Sound. Those who have spoken out against the plan include Congressman Timothy Bishop, State Senator Ken LaValle and State Assemblywoman Patricia Acampora. North Fork Environmental Council requests that the Southold Town Board consider passing a resolution objecting to the planned open water dumping in the Long Island Sound and submit the resolution as part of written comments to the EPA. The EPA will accept public comments on the final environmental impact statement through May 17, 2004. A hearing on the EIS will be held on Tuesday May 4th from 4:00 P.M. through 8:00 P.M. at the Island Marriot and North Fork Environmental Council encourages any concerned individuals to attend. In fact, we are going to have a car-pooling thing. I realize that this conflicts with your Town Board date, May 4th .... SUPERVISOR HORTON: We are going to have representation at that and we can probably also provide a town bus through our Human Resource Center, 16 seat busses. Because we will be taking action on that and I am glad that you brought that to our attention tonight. MS. SCHROEDER: That would be wonderful. I just want to say a couple of weeks you were here, Josh, when half of East Hampton, many people from East Hampton were here for the Waterborne Transportation plan and most of the East Hampton Town Board, if not all were here and it was very powerful to see the citizenry and their elected officials unified. I don't completely agree with what they were talking about there but it was very powerful and I think that this is such an important issue that we really all have to come together and kind of fight this. This is sort of the end-stage, but thanks. April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 28 SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank you, Gwynn. You are 100 % correct. I can't speak for the whole Board but I think it is safe to say that we support the NFEC's position on that and I think that is a position that most of the residents of Long Island feel and you know, the irony of it and this isn't to argue right or wrong on the issue but the irony of it is that Connecticut doesn't mind putting spoils in the Sound but they do object to a cable to provide power to Long Island. So and unfortunately, Connecticut has got a very strong and powerful delegation in both the House of Representatives and the Senate and so I have confidence in our New York delegation. And they are unified in a bipartisan fashion as best as I can see it. So we will be there beside them. Thanks. Mr. Carlin. FRANK CARLIN: Don't call me Mr. Carlin from now on, call me Frank. Hope I am not going to annoy you now. SUPERVISOR HORTON: You never annoy me, Frank. MR. CARLIN: How is your Animal Shelter progress coming along? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Councilman Wickham. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: There is progress. Several meetings ago the Board engaged services of an architect to help us design the thing and develop the plans and review the plans and this architect will be with us on the 29th and 30th of this month, he will schedule meetings with various parties who are interested in the design and we are moving ahead with it. MR. CARLIN: I recall recently, wasn't it two weeks ago, you said the same thing. You were going to meet with an architect or something? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: We now have dates. MR. CARLIN: Now you have dates. SUPERVISOR HORTON: The 29th and 30th of this month. MR. CARLIN: What is the schedule for that maybe to be done, September, late fall? SUPERVISOR HORTON: I think what we are shooting for is the Board would like to see ground breaking by the end of the summer, early fall. MR. CARLIN: When do you expect to have the bond issue for public hearing? SUPERVISOR HORTON: The bond issue for that will be as I guess, how do I say this best? When it is necessary to have it to move the project forward. COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: That is one of the things that will come out of this architects visit. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Is what the cost of it will be. April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 29 MR. CARL1N: Do you have any idea, you don't have no idea about roughly how much it is going to cost, this plan you got that is what, the fourth plan now? SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! think the last estimate we got was $2.3 million, for the Animal Shelter, however, this architect will give us a much more accurate and sound financial analysis of that. MR. CARL1N: Yeah, he will probably give you one about $2.5. Because it started at about $1.25 million now it is up to $2.3 but anyway, ! will tell you the truth and ! don't beat around no bush. SUPERVISOR HORTON: No, you don't. MR. CARL1N: I'll believe it when ! see it. And ! want to tell you something, Josh, ! don't beat around the bush, ! want to tell you right to your face, right now. ! supported you twice and ! voted for you twice and next time ! am going to think twice. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Mrs. Egan. MS. EGAN: You won't rush me, will you darling? First, right off the bat, has anything been resolved on the Whitaker House? SUPERVISOR HORTON: We have some, we have offers and we are hoping to... MS. EGAN: We had some bids. SUPERVISOR HORTON: ... no, we had some bids and we are hoping to go into contract this week. MS. EGAN: Oh, that has not been finalized. Okay, now, talking about money. It is my distinct privilege to know Stash, who used to be the Chief of Police. Now, if! am correct, ! believe that you as Police Commissioner gets no salary. The Captain gets a set salary of $1,001 or ballpark somewhere in that but ! believe by their contract that the Chief has to make $5,000 more than the Captain. SUPERVISOR HORTON: No. MS. EGAN: No? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Than the next, the highest ranking PBA officer and Martin Flatley as Captain will not be a member of the PBA bargaining unit. MS. EGAN: Oh, that is wonderful then. So that will save us $5,000. But now, ! was disappointed of course, which ! mentioned before that a policelady, she only came in fourth on the Sergeant's test, now ! still feel which ! had said before, that you know, we need more police. We hired one new policelady, ! think within the last 16 or 18 months and she is very good, SUPERVISOR HORTON: We have brought on four new officers in the past 18 months and one we just had graduate from the Academy on Friday, April 16th. April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 30 MS. EGAN: Yeah, is that a policelady? SUPERVISOR HORTON: He is a policeman. MS. EGAN: A policeman. Now, what are your plans, you have ! feel, again, which ! had said before, you have too many chiefs and not enough indians. Are we planning for the summer to have the auxiliary police or will we have another regular policeman coming up on duty? SUPERVISOR HORTON: We will be hiring seasonal police officers to assist the department through the summer months. And we will also be putting people in the next academy but the next police academy has not been officially announced. So we don't know when it will be. We are expecting October. MS. EGAN: Are you hiring from Nassau, Suffolk or the city? SUPERVISOR HORTON: We only hire from, actually we have a law ! think in Southold, if not a law it was a resolution, that we hire Southold Town residents. So, you obviously have to pass the civil service test and be a resident of Southold Town on a Southold Town list, that is provided to us by Suffolk County. MS. EGAN: So if they know that they may make so much money out here, they would move out here while they are working in the city and then we hire them, is that kind of the way it goes? SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is a possibility, yes. MS. EGAN: ! think it is a very distinct one. SUPERVISOR HORTON: But ! will tell you, out of our last four, five hires, ! think three of them had been New York City police officers, and ! have got to tell you, they are some fine officers. MS. EGAN: Good. ! hope they don't run themselves into bad situations. Now, again, on the money thing for the police, you now have, you explained about the $5,000 and ! am glad to hear that but of course, you have now three sergeants, correct? Because you have to have a sergeant, didn't you say you would have three new sergeants as administrators, you will have to have three, one for each shift. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Two. MS. EGAN: Well, you will need one for each shift. SUPERVISOR HORTON: We do have those shifts covered. MS. EGAN: Pardon? SUPERVISOR HORTON: We have those squads covered. MS. EGAN: I thought you needed three for the three shifts? April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 31 SUPERVISOR HORTON: We do have those. MS. EGAN: Yeah and they can all make overtime. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes, but we have made a real effort to reduce the amount of overtime, not only in our detective squad... MS. EGAN: ! know, that was my suggestion. SUPERVISOR HORTON: but also for the sergeants. MS. EGAN: ! am always way ahead of you, aren't I? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Yes, you are. Generally. MS. EGAN: Now, before we go any further, ! have only a few more things, ! think we should take the opportunity that ! think it is Mr. Horton's birthday next week, isn't it? SUPERVISOR HORTON: April BOth. MS. EGAN: That is what ! thought, darling. Well, if ! am up here, ! shall sing 'Happy Birthday' to you, okay? SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! will be 32. MS. EGAN: Uh huh. And not getting any wiser, huh? The Peconic School .... SUPERVISOR HORTON: You know what ! am thinking about doing, just for the benefit of our viewers and the benefit of the people that come to our Town Board meetings, ! am thinking about saving all of the voice mail messages ! get on my cell phone from Mrs. Egan and playing them for you at the Town Board meetings. MS. EGAN: Good. Good. Do that, dear. They would enjoy it better than what they hear from some of you up there, that is what ! can tell you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: You are probably right. ! enjoy them. MS. EGAN: Every time you open your mouth, honey, you put your foot in it. Now, what has been done about the Peconic School? Are we going ahead purchasing that, it was to be evaluated? SUPERVISOR HORTON: As you recall from the last Town Board meeting, we did order an appraisal on it, as well as an engineers report. MS. EGAN: And? April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 32 SUPERVISOR HORTON: And they have not come back yet. MS. EGAN: That is marvelous. Now, again, ! would request whoever wants to do it up there, keep yourselves busy, to tell Mr. Harris and the DOT and anyone else you want, there is still a dangerous, terrible situation down there on Peconic Landing, oh, now, this is an interesting question, you know, ! complained the last time you know, about the sand on the road, what do they do with that sand, Josh, when it is swept up? SUPERVISOR HORTON: Well, it is swept up and ! am not a highway specialist... MS. EGAN: Oh, ! know that. We don't seem to have any specialists on the highway. Go ahead. Got you. SUPERVISOR HORTON: You didn't get me. But ! believe that is done by street sweepers and the street sweepers essentially brush that sand up into the machine and the Highway Department at that point, when the machine, when the screens in that machine or the bags are full, it has to be emptied. MS. EGAN: Where? SUPERVISOR HORTON: ! don't know that. They probably empty it at the Highway Yard or up at the Transfer station. MS. EGAN: Maybe Mr. Romanelli would know? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I do know. SUPERVISOR HORTON: That is something that I never contemplated what happens to the sand in the street sweeper. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Would you like me to tell you, because to you... MS. EGAN: Tell you, not ya. Y o u. You. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: You. It gets swept up, as Josh said. It gets dumped depending on where the sweeper is, ! know if it is down in Bayview section, they dump it down in Cedar Beach parking lot and then they go around later in the year and pick it up in a larger truck because the street sweepers don't hold much, but some of it gets re-used in the highway yard for different purposes, some gets mixed in with the asphalt and some of it gets shuffled up to the landfill, mixed in with the compost. A lot of it can be re-used but some of it can't. They screen out as much of it as they can but sometimes it has too much road garbage in it that it can't all be screened out. But they do try to screen as much, we have a small screener that we screen it all out with. MS. EGAN: Sure. Okay. Now, ! would like to tell you Mr. Carlin, SUPERVISOR HORTON: Mrs. Egan, this is just to address the Town Board. MS. EGAN: Oh, well he can listen, can't he? April 20, 2004 Southold Town Board 33 SUPERVISOR HORTON: Certainly. MS. EGAN: You shouldn't do that, Josh, you really shouldn't. SUPERVISOR HORTON: Protocol is important. MS. EGAN: ! had the privilege of dancing with Mr. Bunderchuk at the leap year dance and ! told him he is doing a terrible job and he said he would like to see me in a yellow bag and ! said maybe ! would like to see you in a black body bag. SUPERVISOR HORTON: On that note, this meeting is adjourned. ! thank you all for coming out and ! appreciate everybody's input. It helps us do our job, thank you. Moved by Supervisor Horton, seconded by Councilman Romanelli, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is declared adjourned at 9:12 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Aye: Councilman Edwards, Councilman Ross, Councilman Wickham, Councilman Romanelli, Justice Evans, Supervisor Horton. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. Linda J. Cooper Deputy Town Clerk
