Nickles SUPERVISOR PELL: On behalf of the Southold Town Board I want to thank you all for coming out to this meeting that we have ence a year on Fishers Island. We do have some official town business we have to conduct then we will turn it over to the citizens of Fishers Island. The first business we have to conduct is to set the date for the next official Town Board Meeting which is recommended for August 23, 1983, ._at 3:00 P.M., Tuesday, at the Southold Town Hall, Southold, New York. Moved by Councilman Murdock, seconded by Councilman Townsend, it was RESOLVED that the next Regular Meeting of the Southold Town Board will be held at 3:00 P.M., Tuesday, August 23, 1983 at the Sou~hold Town Hall, Main Road, Southold, New York. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Councilman Murphy,, Councilman Murdock, Supervisor Pell. Th~s resolution was declared'duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR PELL: I'd like to introduce, at this time, the members of your Town Board. On my far right, Councilman Joseph Townsend, then Councilman Larry Murdock. To my immediate left Councilman Frank Murphy, who serves as Deputy Supervisor of Southold Town when I'm out of town. Next to him, of course, is your own, Judge Edwards. Next to him is Town Attorney Robert Tasker. To my immediate right, our Town Clerk is in Mexico this year so she could not be with us, she sends her regrets. But her son is going to school there. He started last year with, I think, the Lions Exchange Program and he--- was in ~exico last year. He's going back again this year. So's she's there~getti~g him squared away for school. So for a replacement for her, we had to have somebody come and take notes today and keep track of the records, so I asked my staff to find somebody. They went to the classified ads and they found us a Kelly girl. So we have with us today our Deputy Town Clerk Mrs. Betty Neville. Betty. has been with the town for 12 years. She's served as deputy town clerk for a good part of that time and doing a superb job. Betty we're glad to have you with us. Under reports, all the councilmen on the board serve as chairman of different committees. I would ask each one of them to stand up and say a few words about the committees they serve on. Judge Edwards who represents your island serves on all committees. No special one, He's a one man committee representing the whole island. So I'm going to leave him until last. I'll start from my extreme right again, Mr. Townsend. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND~ Thank you, Bill. I'm chairman of the Highway Department Committee and the Wage and P~licy Committee. I'm a member of most of the other committees. I foolishly got myself invDlved in all these things when I did my initial enthusiasm. I'm a first term councilman. It's been a very interesting couple of years. Most of the committees including the landfill and the zoning committees h~ve been very very active. We have one thing on the agenda today that came out of recommendations from the landfill committee. But I'll~ let the heads of those committees elaborate on them. Shall we introduce Larry? Larry Murdock to my immediate left. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK~ Thank you, Joe. I am chairman of the landfill committee. Whe~ I became chairman, Bill put that chairman.ship.i~ my hands. I said "what does anybody around here know about landfills, dumps, etc." It's become unfortunately a very challenging posi:t~on as far as the town is concerned. Fishers Island is currently starting to have a few problems with the DEC. One of our resolutions today will deal with the Souther Company who is the engineering company trying to solve the problems of your run-off into the basin. Ray Doyen, of course, represents Fishers Island in FIDCO in dealing with the DEC and tryi~ng to maintain your garbage and its' collection and handling. We On the "mainland side", even though we're on an island, have a little bit more direct supervision. The "watchbird" is watching us a lot more closely. We will pass a resolution today dealing with some $612,000.00 in bonded indebtedness for equipment that we need at the landfill. We need a new bulldozer. We need a payloader. We're going to install a building for the depositing of grabage so that it doesn't blow around and become a problem. We hav~ untold problems that the DEC is having us go to in terms of capping the landfill. They talk about lining the landfill. These are all very nice innocent little words until you find out that they are talking three million dollars to cap~ $60,000.00 an acre to line and you start adding up all the totals and you find out you are talking eight, nine~ ten million dollars, they become quite a series of problems. I hope that they don't land on us as hard on Fishers Island. I can give you one number from working with the people in Shelter Island. Shelter Island being larger of course than Fishers Island. But the one recommendation that they had in terms of handling their garbage--wo~d have cost the town 75~ a pound. Of course, being a little older, I ca~ remember'when we didn't pay 75¢ a pound for the best groceries off the~_~ shelf. Realistically, we really don't pay much more than that tbday i~ you figure in the cost.of potatoes or vegetables. We probably pay $1.10 a pound for our fresh vegetables and produce and it's going to cos~-~ Shelter-Island, if they follow the prescribed method, over $.75 a pound -to handle their garbage. Fortunately, we're not going to have that big a problem in the Town of Southold~ but it is severe. It is something that we all have to work on. It's been a challenge to me when I started and fortunately in the last two years our whole town board has gotten involved and understands the problems. I'm sure Ray Doyen is now much more involved than he ever was. I'm sure the people on Fishers Island are going to begin to understand the problems. While I've been chairman its now been a real pleasure that all of the board members cooperate. think that whe'n you hear about the problems involving garbage and munici~ pal solid waste~ honeywagons, septic sludge~ all those problems have been really gently handled by the town board. I think they've done. a great job and I think the future holds well. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Thank you. My name is Frank Murphy. Again i~'s my privilege to be over here. This is my third year and it's most en- joyable. I do enjoy coming over here to see this part of Southold Town. It is a definite part and I think all officials should know what,s going over here as we should know.what's going on at the mainland so to speak. What problems we were involved in, I would like to compliment your rep~'~ resentative.£rom Fishers Island here. Ray Edwards is most cooperktiv~.i ~ very good working with the entire~board and I feel we have an excel~en~;~" working relationship with him. Some of the things that the lown is in- volved in that deal with, that I've been dealing with also, and~deals with Fishers Island is the clam program that we just started ~wo years ago and we just started it this year here, and also again the scallop program. From the reports~ it's doing very well and this is a very important part o£ the li£e of the mainland a~d the life of the people on~F~shers Island. Also, we.'ve been very active in ~he land£ill and I can assure you that the problems that we have in Southold or in Cutchogue in the landfill that some of the solutions that we're coming up with ~hat they are very inique and different. I think they will work out very well for us and do an excellent job. I think there's some that they can be applied over here as the pressure mounts on this island too. ~o~ that as Larry said we don't get into this tremendous cost. I enjoy working with Ray. I enjoy coming here and whatever we could do really to help you, we'd be very happy to. Again, thanks. 20S ~ugust 17, 1983 JUSTICE EDWARDS: I'll keep it short because I know that a lot of people out here have a lot of things to say. I just want to welcome the rest of the town board to Fishers Island. And also say that this is Mr. Pell's last visit here. He's stepping down. I should probably expound on a remark made the other night.. He called me "curly" at a meeting Monday night, but I think I'd rather be a curly headed clam digger than a fish monger from Greenport. Also, I want to thank the people on Fishers Island that graciously donated their cars today plus Gordon Ahman that took a cruise around. The people really enjoyed the trips and having the use of the vehicles over here and I want to thank you very much. SUPERVISOR PELL: CounciAman Nickles cannot be with us today. He could not make the trip. He informed us yesterday that he didn't think That he could make it, but he wants to extend his best wishes for all of you from him. And this is also his last year as representing the Town board. He is stepping down also. Moving on, in the agenda, we have communications, three of them placed on file with the Town Clerk. III.COMMUNICATIONS 1.- The first one is to honor Southold Town by the Automobile Club of America for two years of no pedistrian fatalities in the township. Chief Winters last year went in and received the award. Chief, have a good trip this year into White Plains to receive-i~. 2. The next one is concerning Fisher's Island priority on the sewer district informing the township where the priority was. And there is a resolution to appeal this later on. 3. The third one is informing the town, inviting the town to send representatives up to Albany on September 21sf and 22nd on the waterfront revitalization meeting. The town will send somebody up there. There will probably be two or three of us going up.

Next~ I'd like to introduce, I'm going to say a good friend of mine, ha~ ~elped Southold Town whenever I called upon him. A guy I think a heck of a lot of. We talk back and forth, we fight among ourselves, but when- ever I asked him for help on behalf of Southold Town this gentleman has never, never let Southold Town down. Congressman Bill Carney. Bill come on up fron~ please. CONGRESSMAN CARNEY~ Thank you very much. I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to be here today. I will be here after the conclusion of the town board meeting for any type of problems that constituent here on the Island might have in relation to federal government. I can't promise that we can solve all of the problems. But, we certainly wil~ try to do the best we can~ once we're made aware of them. Again, I'm pleased to be here and will be here for the remainder of the day. We have people from my staff here to ~ake any information that ~e can on your behalf. Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR PELL~ We'll come back again to our local level again~ the state. We're going to leave the federals alone and pick on our state officials. From the sena~e~ another good friend of Southold Town, who worked very hard on a projec~ on Fishers Island but did not get it through, no fault of his, the effort the gentleman pu~ in. Senator Ken LaValle. Ken, come on up and say a few words. SENATOR LA VALLE~ I would like to say that as part of the First Senatorial District, I always like to think that peace and ~ranquili~y always seems to reign here on Fishers Island. Maybe that's because government is not too overly involved in what-you do here. I meet with your school superintendent~ Bill Haas~ we cha~ on the phone ~o deal with s~hool matters. A~d of eourse~ we have passed over the years a number of bills for Fishers Island that have been request,ed. I'll be here after the meeting~ if you have any specific questions or requests on state matters. SUPERVISOR PELL~ Thank you Ken. Nex~ we have a local boy from Southold Town, Assemblyman Joe Sawicki, Jr. I say Jr. because his father is here on the Board of Appeals and I have to keep them straight. August 17, 1983 ASSEMBLYMAN SAWICKI: Thank you Bill. It's nice to be here. Ladies and gentlemen my first term as your assemblyman, it's not the first time I've been to Fishers Island because as my previous position as the Deputy County Comptroller, I've been here several times earlier. But~ you're probably used to having a guy by the name of John Behan being your assemblyman, and of course, before him, Perry Duryea. This marks the first year we have Fishers Island part of the new assembly district which is strictly from here all the way along the north fork into Centereach. So I'm delighted to be here. I'm delighted to be a Southold Town boy representing Southold Town in Albany and as with Senator LaValle and Bill Carney, I'll be here later if I can help you with any questions at all. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: I'd just like to mention that I met last week with Commissioner LaRocca , who is the Commissioner of DOT and I had a very fruitful meeting with him. He was invited to come today and him and Sam Ippilito. Both of them could not make it, but they sent two gentlemen to represent them, Petter Pomeranz and James Harris. Do either one of you want to say anything? Any problem with DOT, we have two people here. Southold Town did call on Commissioner LaRocca. We had a bad accident in Southotd Town where two people were killed when a truck went below a railroad bridge. We did go to DOT and ask them to put warning iights up, change the signs around. Within ten days we have a commitment from DOT to do exactly what the Town asked them to do. And with 30 to 40 days, it was done. And for government to move that fast, Commissioner LaRocca deserves a-lot of thanks on behalf of Southold Town. Will you pass that onto him please, gentlemen? From Department of Health, County, we have Dr. Harris here and three people and we will ask Dr. Harris to introduce the people with him and say a few words. This is another good friend of Southold Town's. DR. DAVID HARRIS, COMMISSIONER, S.C. DEPT. OF HEALTH SERVICES: Thank you Bill. Of course, I am equally delighted as the others said "I'm happy to be here." From what I can see with a practiced eye, the people of Fishers Island have never looked healthier. Commissioners of Health don't travel alone. I brought with us our Supervisor of Nursing', Mrs. Sandy Carley, our Principal o~ Engineering Bob Villa, many of you here know Bob. Director of Emergency Medical Services, Bob Dietrickson-'~s here. And Joe Sanzone who is the head of our vector control program. I'm sure you love him in the summer. Ladies and gentlemen, I not only bring a staff, I bring an ol~er to meet with you after the meeting to bring up any health problem that you have. We have some goqd news for you because the second allotment of emergency medical advance life support equipment will be here in August. I know many of you depend on -the emergency medical services. It's completely equipped. SUPERVISOR PELL. Next, I'm going to ask a gentleman to come up, he's a man from DEC, Mr. Harold Berger, who I have met for the first time on the boat today. My introduction says "don't stand too close to the edge on the way home", after I got the letter yesterday. Harold, go ahead. MR. HAROLD BERGER, N.Y.S.D.E.C.: Thank you very much for inviting me. Like everybody else, I'd like to have a weekend. But, I want to say right now, I'm leaving right after the meeting. Just to tell you a little...I don't offer any apologies or defenses, but I'm new on the job, so take it easy on me. As many of you know, recently the state recently passed a very important landfill bill. It's a bill that we supported for many years, the DEC has, and we feel it is quite important to the Island, all of the Island. If it has created many problems for many of the towns and Southold is one of them. But I'd like to say that we've tried to make a number of changes. One of them is that we're not going to ask that the Town do certain things and then walk away from them. We're going to try to help and participate and offer any solutions that the State cyn possibly offer. There's not a lot of money around. Ail of you know that. But we have some expertise around at Stony Brook and Albany. Whenever the Town of Southold or any of the other smaller areas are interested that information and time is available for you. The problem of landfills is something that I have lived with for the three months that I have been in the office. But we feel strictly s~rong about it. If we do get a little tough, as Jim Heil was in this letter to the-Supervisor, it's because we feel very strongly that it's important that we handle our land~ills properly. I know that the concerns of the towns are not for making these, strict requirements, but that it cost so much to do. We ~dersta~ ~hat. We are read~ ~o sit down with you and talk about it and see what eve~ ca~ be done. Sometimes there are. air,r- nates, other procedures t~at can be taken. We do understand t~e problems. But it is something that we feel is essential. I think all of you are concerned with the drinking water of Long Island and know that it is important. So, understand that one of the things that I've learned right away when I came into office, people, environmentalists dislike us, developers dislike us, so I say ~o myself "we must be doing a good job." By enforcing the regulations and doing what is necessary I think in the long run you all wilt be very happy for it. If you have any questions, I have the answers, I'll give them to you now. If ii haven't got the answers, I'll get them for you. Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you Mr. Berger. We just passed a $600,0Q0.00 bond note. We'd love To sit down and talk to you next week. I'll make a date and see how much you're going to walk away from us. We are working to abide by your request letter. State Police,, I've got tell something here, if I can. Judge Edwards was in the town I'll say a week, two weeks, three weeks ago, I don't know when i~was. He had a couple of people with him. I don't know who they were. He introduced me and he went on about his business and they Stayed and~ talked a minute or two. We got talking about the Island and-what not. the fatality you had here this past spring and just general t'~lk. They brought up a fact that really stuck with me. They said "yoa k~ow, the s~a~e police this year are really good boys, they are working, .they are holding the traffic down, they are giving tickets out, they are not turn- ing their heads." This came from two residents and I don't know who they were, who he had with him that day. -But it came clearly from ~hem that they are pleased and extra proud of the productivity that the Officers tha~ are on Fishers Island this year are doing. So Lieutenant, ~hat's how the people of the Island feel about your boys here. We'd like have you come up and say a few words. Lieutenant Carlson. LIEUTENANT CARLSON: Thank you. Like the others here, it certainly is a pleasure to be out here. On behalf qf my boss, Major Shaivey, he asked me to extend his greetings to you and his desire that the state police be represented here on Fishers Island for many years to come. I've been in ~ouch' with Andy and Hughie throughout the summer. They told me that the operation here has run very well, as it has in the pas~. Andy asked me To point out that the cooperation he has received from the constables has been excellent as always and that's a point that should~ made. Like the other speakers, I'll be here for the rest of the aftert ~I~ and any questions that pertain to the state police, I'll be more than'~ ~ [ it happy to answer. SUPERVISOR PELL: Can we have them here year round? Moving~right on.. Lieutenant, thank you very much. The Department of Public Works, Mr. -Bart Cass in back and you have your chief deputy with you, Mr. Weber. Mr. Cass, Mr. Weber please stand so that people know who you are. Any questions? Zer~ in on them folks after. Every time I come to ~ishers Island I'm allowed a boo boo. Last year when I introduced everybody I forgot to introduce the Town Clerk. This year I've done the same thing. It wasn't her, I forgot to introduce the Receiver of Taxes, George Mellas. George I apologize. Where are you? Way in the back. I'm sorry George. But he's with us and I'm glad to have you here. Moving right along... to the Board of Elections we have Commissioner McNabb, from the o~her side we have Peter DeNigris. Pete where are you? Both sides are repres- ented here. COMMISSIONER MC NABB: Bill, may I say that we have mail-i~ registration forms for anyone who would care to register or would like an absentee ballot. We have some people here that will be glad to take care of you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Can you hear that people? If you want registration forms or absentees, they will be available here today, after we get done, see either gentleman or their staff. Vector Control I have next~ Dr. Harris but you introduced them already. ~Vhere is he again? . Do you know vector control people? ~Mosquitoes? I told him where last year, thinking they would come down this spring, I haven't seen them yeT. Do you know where ~ live? I'll tell you. Didn't you give fog over here or something last year? People requested? What "did we do over here, what did we do on the Island last year?~ MR. JOSEPH SANZONE: We have a fog machine that we are working in con- junction with Southold Town and it i~ available on a request basis. SUPERVISOR PELL: O.K.thanks. Southold Town Fire Chiefs Council is represented today by Peter Nathanson. Pete, where are you? Way in back. Sta~d up Pete. He~s pre~dent of the Fire Chiefs Council in Southold ~ow~~ ~u meet what?, once '~very~other month? To discuss the problems ~ sa£et~ ~nd i~ they have a request, ~they come before ~he ~own board with it. ~e~2rtment of Civil Service, we h~ve with us here today, Morton August 17, 1983 Stark. Mort where are you? .'H~'~g gentleman who I met three years ago when I first became Supervisor, four years, this is my fourth year. I've lost track. I went to him one day and I said "I need help, need To understand the civil service regs" and I have been on that man's doorstep ever since and he always has been helpful throughout the three and a half years. Thank you Mort. Real Property Tax Service, John Alacka. John, who works for Mr. Ryan, can't be with us today. Audit and Control and I need not introduce him, he's been here practically every year. Joseph Caputo. Joe, would you like to say a few words? I didn't call on you last year, so I'll get you this year. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND:Ask him about the sales tax. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Tell us the good news. 'COMPTROLLER CAPUTO: Well, the good news and the one smart thing I've done since I've come to Long Island is that I married my wife Claire, and the Town Board is courteous enough to allow the boat, or you wouldn't be out here on Fishers Island. Regarding the sales tax, I'm the villain who proposed it. There is a recommendation in there, though, to share that wealth. We have about 300,000 children in all of Suffolk County who go to school or who are going to go to school. I recommended that $50.00 per capita, per child, be taken from that sales tax and given to each school district. Which would mean that fifteen million dollars would be shared, as a revenue sharing idea, with the school district. However, I realize your not wanting it to be approved and I'll try to explain that at a later time~ if I get the opportunity. Thanks again, for having us. SUPERVISOR: He didn't tell you the rest of the story about his wife, I will because I'm proud of it. Joe has very good taste when he selected his wife. Joe's father-in-law is our Town Attorney. Joe you have good taste. A local Greenport girl. Moving right along...Community Develop- ment which Jim McMahon spoke on before, we have a problem with it, in at times we like to do things, we don't meet the regs, the project we want to do does not fit in the income tax bracket of the census. A lot of times we have to try to find ways around or explain more clearly to the people who have the decision to say yes or no on different projects. I asked them to help us. Like we are doing today on projects we would consider from Fishers Island. Community Development from the county is represented today here by Susan Eindesheim. Susan, would you like to say anything? SUSAN EINDESHEIM: is not the last. of the Island. This is my first time on Fishers Island and I hope it I started working with Jim McMahon of the Town on behalf SUPERVISOR PELL: Susan was given a tour today of the Island especially so she could see the difference of the make-up of the Island and Try not to blanket the whole Island in one census tract. There are projects that Judge Edwards brings up and would like to get through, but we have to have an approval by the county. Susan is here to look at some of them today. We always have a D.A. around somewhere. Today we have with us Detective Frank Fusco. Frank, where are you? Frank has been with us for many years It's not his first trip here. Department of Consumer Affairs is represent today by two people. One of them is a former Supervisor of East Hampton Township and a dear friend of anybody that served in the spot that I serve in, Supervisor and now Deputy County Consumer-Affairs, Mary Fallon. Mary stand up please. With her she has a Southold Town resident who lives in Southold, John Lademann. Also, with us we have today from the office of Emergency Preparedness, two gentlemen, Mr. Bennett, where is he? MR. DONALD TERRELL: Mr. Pell, Mr. Bennett was unable to be here today. I represent two people really two groups Emergency Preparedness and the Air Force Academy ROTC Program. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you very much for being with us. Department of Agriculture & Markets we have Mr. John Flanagan, John ~here are you? JUSTICE EDWARDS: He's out on an inspection. SUPERVISOR PELL: He's out on an inspection. They have a job to do here and said that they wouldn't be back by 1:00 P.M. Other people today, I didn't introduce before, let me do it now. Our town engineer, two of them we have with us, Jack Davis and P.E. Larry Tuthill. These are the two men that serve the town on a part-time basis, as needed. They go around and inspect the roads in new developments and look at a number of other things. Mr. Tuthill did represent Fishers Island and Larry I am going to ask you to say a little about the coastal zone change you did August 17~ 1953 down here on the land. Do you want to speak on that? When you went To Washington, D.C. for us. Larry has been to Washington, D.C. ~o represen~ Southold Town three times, I think, and each time he came back a winner. LAWRENCE TUTHILL,..P.E.; I have been representing Southold Town in reference to the flood plain. Our major problem is that with the regulations that have been put forth by the federal government have no~ taken into consider- ation the north east areas of Southold Town which are well protected from hurricane forces in general and they are under different conditions. And because they normally don't, our conditions don't fit those which were established by FEMA, we had several changes made in our flood plain maps. We're reducing the heights and we have been successful several times. latest one that they have added to us is called wave height analysis. W~ that, they've had some hurricanes down in Alabama which wiped out many buildings that were built according ~o flood plain regulations because they forgot that there was such a thing as a wave height. Our problems here, normally in the north east here is tha~ this doesn't occur because we have what we call a "lag in the surge" so that when the hurricane comes the wave action, the high tides usually come a little later and at the same time the storm. This is not true here at Fishers Island where you may have only an hour's lag in the time that the hurricane hits. But further up, in Southold Town, sometimes it takes about three hours to ge~ there. The thing I'm playing on right, now in reference to flood plain is that I don't like, with the weather reports, they're now saying that we have hurricane alerts for ~wenty-four hours. The problems with studying hurricanes for our area is that when hurricanes hit Cape Hatteras they change their speed. Normally they are travelling at 15-20 miles an hour 8 miles the limit down in the Miami area. Every- think is related To this, travelling at 15-20 miles an hour. But, when they hit Cape Hatteras, for some phenomenal reason they take off and go. The hurricane of 1938 was clocked at something like 60 miles an hour. The hurricane of 1954 was up around 40 - 50 miles an hour and it takes only about 6 hours in these cases from the time that the center,is at Cape Hatteras before we star~ having strong winds in this area. I would like to aler~ ~he people in this area that this 24 hour period ~hat they are speaking of, we may not. We may only have a short time to prepare for hurricanes. ' SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you, Larry. Congressman, if he comes banging at your door for help, you'll know to help him. CONGRESSMAN CARNEY: We talked about it already, Bill. SUPERVISOR PELL: I'm aware of it. Thank you very much. As I said :you've never let Southold Town down yet." That's the people we have to introduce today. At this time I would the residents of Fishers Island, ~ything they would like to ask the Town Board, anybody here, they can do it now or they can do it after we adjourn and during the refreshments~which were set up by the Civic Association again this year. Every year we ,come here the Civic Association provides punch and cake for when we get done-. They'v done it-again this year and we thank you. Anybody wish to address the Town Board? MR. JOHN CLAYTON: Resolution nUmber 4. Would somebody explain that to me? SUPERVISOR PELL: Larry... COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Simply that... The agency that sets up the rating from 1 ~o 100 decided where Fishers Island 's importance was in relation ~o all the projects before them at that given time. It was probably too~ low to be funded. They may have 100 projects. We may have funds avail- able for 85 and Souther felt that the placement of the Fishers Island project on that I'ist was much lower than necessary and asked us to appea~' in their behalf for them. As we did, passed a resolution saying that we would like this reconsidered so that they are moved up. This happens quite often. The Town of Southold on one of our projects, the sewerage treatment plant, we were taken completely off ~he list ~where the year- before we had been number 2. They re-evaluated the list because somebody complained that we were taken completely off the list for the year. The funding, of course, is the most important part. Souther would 12ke ~o ge~ on with the project. I£ it's not funded, we won't get on w~th the project. We had ~o try to appeal to get that ~ist revised and Fishers Isl.and moved higher on the priority list. Augus~ 17, 1983 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: You might''Cb~'both Ken or Joe about your priority on that list, also. It's something that we didn't have much success on. As Larry mentioned, we were knocked down from our previous high priority. It does mean a lot in terms of funding in that if you stay at the level you're at now, you lose your state funding, for at least this year. BOB HASKINS: When you say that you want to move that rating up, what is ~he advantage of that? Are you looking for ways to spend money, or what? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Bill, I ~hink you ought to explain the project. A lot of people don't know what it's all about. SUPERVISOR PELL: All right. Judge Edwards wilt go back to score one and explain the project and what it is. This is the sewer project down here at the fort and it only involves the people that are living in the fort area. I guess it was DEC that came out 5 or 6 years ago and said that you can no longer put your waste water out in~o the sound, as to where it's going now. You're going to have to control it. You're going to have to put in a treatment plant. Now, the treatment plant, the en- gineering was done on it by a firm over in Connecticut. I believe the funds, 85% of the funds I believe were going to be federal, covered by federal. Then the federal government says no "you're not top priority now, we're going to put you down on the list." So it just means that the project itself is going to be offset a couple of years until the funds come in or maybe the DEC people can explain as to whether or not they are going to force the waste water district to go ahead.and have ~he people themselves put up the money. But, it's a lot of cash. SUPERVISOR PELL: Mr. Berger, this is your baby, come on up here. MR. BERGER: This question of where it stands on the list ~s something. that has been bothering us and there have been changes made.. So, your appeal is worth the problems. There have been many preblems with the funds that the federal government and the state has offered. I believe the figure is $438,000.00 of which 85% would be funded by ~he federal government and 7~% by the state and the balance by ~he town. Now, the problem is where do you stand on that particular list. If that posilion changes or the amount of funds decrease or increase. For the year of 1984, the funds are very small. SUPERVISOR PELL: The Town Attorney wants to address it too. ROBERT W. TASKER, TOWN ATTORNEY: I would like to make one correction. When the Fishers.Island Sewer District was created the local share, which you say is to be paid by the 'town, is not quite correct. We have an agreement with FIDCO which is familiar to everyone here on the Island ~hat the so called "local share" is paid by them. Not one penny is coming from the taxpayers of Fishers Island or the Town of Southold. If, in fact, what we have done is created a sor~ of conditional district. Conditined that 85% will be paid by the federal government, 7~% will be paid by the state government, and the remaineder will be paid by FIDCO. If in fact, that does not happen, we dissolve the district. And that was the way in which it was created. Now, if it comes to pass that all of the state and county funding which is anticipated does not occur, I think, then that the option is up to FIDCO whether or not they want to proceed and pick up additional shares. Right now, we are a~ the p~int where, as indicated, you're on the priority list. Apparently, they do not have enough funds, the state and federal, to fund the ~rojec~s that are pending before them. So, what they do is prepare a priority li~t. You get certain points for certain aspects of your projec~ in relationship to all of the others. The top rated ones get funded first. We apparently, came pretty low on the list. What Henry Souther is doing is questioning ~he method by which the points were alloted to the Fishers Island project. And that is the reason for the appeal. They are appealling and they have already filed their appeal with DEC questioning the method by which the priority peints were alloted to Fishers Island. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Anybody else wi~h to address the Board? PAT BAKER: You have about 20-25 units at the army post. Why aren't they builidng cesspools like we all build. Why can't they maintain these cesspools themselves? JUSTICE EDWARDS: I believe the reason for it is that the houses down here do no~ have the property. They do not have the land to pu~ in the septic systems because ~hey are so close.. But then again, this is no~ going to 2t8 August 17, 19~3 affect you in Darby's Cove because the people down here are going ~o be involved in the district. They will be taxed. Only the people who are on the system will be taxed, not the res~ of the Island~ PAT BAKER: Why do they have to go through a district a~ that high~ expense when they can pu~ in their own septic ~ank? JUSTICE EDWARDS: There's a good question there. But~ I think it's because of the amount of property involved with each individual house. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Maybe you could get an answer from the Board of Health. SUPERVISOR PELL: The only thing I say is maybe Dr. Harris could go home~-~, and research this or somebody could and get back to us. Who? Bob Vill~ ~ ROBERT VILLA, S.C. HEALTH DEPT.: Well, I think that was an option by th~~ engineering firm that did the study actually went through. They d~d a study to get off the main system and put in their own system. I guess their choice was to 10ok and see if they could work with the system~they go~ and make the necessary alterations. BOB HASKINS: We have a $612,000.00 bond resolution which everybody knows that by the time you pay that off it costs 5 times that with interest and what ever. Where does the money come from? Is tha~ included in the taxes from Fishers Island? Or only from the places where it is used? SUPERVISOR PELL: That would come from the total town tax. MR. HASKINS: All town taxes? SUPERVISOR PELL: Town taxes. Now, we do aot expec~ ~o spend the whole ~mount $612,000.00. It's an ept~on. We have to apply, the town board ~as to sit down and figure which community developmen~ HUD, if some of ihe funds that we ge~ year after year from HUD could be used for this. But, the major bond issue, for the to~al amount if we were To bond the whole thing. MR. HASKINS: That is allocated throughout the whole...we are going to pay for that as well as over there? SUPERVISOR PELL: We are going to a user fee at the Cutchogue~L~ndfill. The Councilmen told me to remind everyone. To off set a good, part of this cost. Right now, everybody can go into the mainland landfill and pay no users fee. We are going to put a users fee in next year whe~ this goes into effect on the people that do go into the dump, to offset some of the expenses. Anybody else wish to address the board? LUCY AHMAN: I would like to ask whether the constables over in Southold are as underpaid as our two constables here? SUPERVISOR PELL: We have no constables on the mainland. We have police officers. MRS. AHMAN: How are the salaries determined for our boys who are on call all year round? ..... SUPERVISOR PELL: Your salaries are set by the town board on January 1st of each year. It is set by the ~own board. That's how they are se~. MRS. AHMAN: By the government? SUPERVISOR PELL: By us people right up here. We se~ the salar~ for Mr. .. MRS. AHMAN: Does it take into consideration the hours that they are on : call 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year? And you pay them those rotten I mean really, I'm serious. SUPERVISOR PELL: The board sets salaries for themselves and all town employees on January 2nd, the first mee~mng of-the year. As we p~epa.re our budget which we will do by October 1st, the board will star~ ~o work on a budget. I work on it before. MRS. AHMAN: These are the only 2 constables in the town? SUPERVISOR PELL: The only 2 constables in town, yes. We have police officers, we have bay constables in Southold. We have part-time and year round. MRS. AHMAN: What does the bay constable get? August 17, 1983 SUPERVISOR PELL: In Southold Town~.~this year the bay constable is getting what? Dan, this year? CHIEF OF POLICE WINTERS: $14,000.00 SUPERVISOR PELL: $14,000.00 That's full time, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. MRS. AHMAN: And they work the winter months? SUPERVISOR PELL: Oh, yes, definitely. We have scalloping going on all winter. And we always have problems with people out on boats in the winter ~lme. Soallopers not getting back, people going out scalloping that should not be going out scalloping. Winter is one of his roughest times. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK; Our deputy bay constables get $5.00 an hour. SUPERVISOR PELL: We have deputy bay constables in the summer time when we have the influx over there like you have over here. They get $5.00 per hour, no benefits. Anybody else wish to address the town board? JOHN CLAVIN: I would just like to support what Lucy said. When it comes to January, we would like you to take a look at that salary that you are paying our 2 constables to protect us from the time the state police leave until they come back, all by themselves. When you look at the salary that was just granted to the police in Suffolk County based on the arbitration decision, our men are completely underpaid. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. The town board shall look at it October 1st when they work on the budget. They work on it in October. They set them in January. Anybody else wish to address the town board? If not, we are going to adjourn and have refreshments courzesty of the civic association and everybody will be around here, if anybody wants to zero in on anybody else. On motion by Councilman Townsend, seconded by Councilman Murdock, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be adjourned at 1:55 P.M. Voze of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Murdock, Supervisor Pe'll. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. Deputy Town Clerk
