to devote to it this morning, it certainly is complex~
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Ray Edwards .and I traveled to the Town of Windham

out to explain to the Street Light committee why they feel we should
stay with the standardiZa'tion and then'we'll make the decision on the
rejection or acceptance of the sireet light bids.

have been done and recommendations have been made by the Town Truste.~J
and Bay Constable.
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Frank, didn't we decide to stay with the
standardization at the last Town Board meeting?
COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Yes, but then there was a lot of talk of rejecting
that and going to ITT beCause of the cosT-. One sales rep says, "Ires,
it is much better to stick with G.E. , and another sales rep of G.E.
said, "No, you really should have two suppliers". I don't thin~ we

SUPERVISOR YELL: Sue Long.
COUNCILMAN MUI~UOCK: I do hope the newspapers will stay on during
the course of the Working Session. I have questions I would like
to ask of.several Of the CounciImen involving one of the items as
we as people in the audience and I would like the newspapers to be
there, otherwiSe Ii would just as soon have that discussion now.

wish to address the Board?

that sliding door will be placed?
SUPERVISOR PELL: At one time we talked about putting two in there.
Breaking it up into thirds - a sliding wall. It's a big wall that

Collapsable wall.

front doors?

he would like to.

WORK SESSION - 4:01
Councilman Nickles reported that he had looked into the request of
the Or~en±'M~q~to ~i'str~t to install a drain off Narrow River
Road, Orient. A permit will not be necessary from the Town Trustees,
as they only have control of the bottomland and not the water. It
appears the Mosquito District will not need any Town permits to install
the drain.
Proposed Resolution No. 4 - ~ppointmen~' tO ~theSouthold Town Board
~f Appeals was discussed. Councilman Murphy proposed the name of
Halsey Staples, saying he has worked in Town government, serving
very well as a Town Trustee and ran as a CounCilman and lost. Mr.
Murphy is glad Mr. ~taples has not lost an interest in Town government.
Supervisor Pell said he would support Mr. Staples.--Councilman Townsend
proposed the name of John Dorman. Councilman Murdock proposed Scott
Harris and Councilman Nickles said he would vote for Mr. HarriS.
Councilman Townsend then withdrew his support for Mr. Dorman and
proposedRobert Douglass. Justice Edwards voiced his support of
Mr. Douglass. Supervisor Yeti determined that-there was not a
candidate with enough support to be appointed to the Board of Appeals
and d~eclared that Robert Douglass will continue to serve as a holdover.
Councilman Townsend suggested that an~item be placed'on the next Town
Boar~ agenda to interview the interested candidates.
28 J~NUARY 19, 1982
Supervisor PeI1 brought forth Resolution No. 18 -

grade the position to Clerk-Typist and appoint Mrs. Long to the
Planning Board Chairman Henry Raynor to that meeting to discuss it.
Pending decisions on the unsafe building hearings held earlier
in the day were discussed. The Board decided to adopt resolutions
after the meeting reconvenes, requiring that the property of~ Frederick
Reese and Harold Reese (I~llard Inn) be secured by boarding up 'the
doors and'windows of the building and shoring up thel porches to be
made safe or removed, within 30 days from this date. In the m~tter

The pr:oposed Robin's Islan'd resolUtliOn which was offered by Justice
Edward~ just prior to the regular meeting, was brough~ forward for
discussion. Councilman Murdock expressed his objections to the
resolution. It was brought forth without time for discussion and
there may be other people in the Township who may wish to be heard
in opposition to the resolution. Frank bear stated the people have
had an opportunity to express themselves by petitions and then
through a questionnaire which was sent to all registered voters of
the Town, and more than 26% responded; 84.6% in favor of preservatio
and 11% preferred development. Councilman Murdock questioned Justice
Edwards and Councilman Townsend on the manner in which they were told
about the proposed resolution.. Justice Edwards said he had heard of
a meeting of the Save Robins Island Committee which was held the
previous night and asked if he could attend so he could learn more
about the Robins Island issue. Councilman Townsend learned of the
meeting through Frank Bear; although he did not invite him, and Only
at the last minute decided to attend. The question was raised iby
Councilman Murdock and Councilman Nickles as to why they were not
informed of the proposed resolutionk (Councilman Murdock said he
had seen a copy of it some time back but was asked to keep it in
confidence and was not told when it would be introduced; ) Councilman
Nickles said he had never Seen the resolution and knew n~.thing.'~bout
it commng ~ef6~e the Board today. Mr. Robert Pike, attorney for
the Save Robins Island Committee, said Councilman Nickles had been
advised of the pending resolution earlier ~n the week. Counc:~Iman
Nickles strongly protested Mr. Pike's statement, inferring he was
being called'a liar. He reiterated that he had no knowledge, of
the proposed resolution. Councilman Nickles said he did not feel
Councilman Townsend and Justice Edwards had had sufficient time to
study all sides of the issue. The matter had been debated since
~ 1980 and the files were voluminous.-He asked that the
JANUARY 19, 1982 ~ 29
resolution be tabled!~;'~' He ~ra'~n~,~Om~-to t~e" mee~zng Prepared to
speak on-Robins Island. He wished sufficient time for Councilman
Townsend and Justice EdWards to study the Town Board minutes and
petitions and other issues involved with. Robins Island and thoroughly
discuss the issue as a Board. Justice Edwards sai~ he would be
willing to hold, but not for long, the proposed resolution. He
admitted he had only heard one side of the issue, that of the gave
Robins Island Committee. Mr. Pike told the Board that even if they
adopted the resolution today, it would take two years for it to be
Bear asked the Board~ s favorable
adoption of the resoIu~ion as soon as' possible so the proposal can
be put before the County Legislature. Without Town Board approval,
they cannot go any further. Supervisor Pelt said that since there
wou~d be long and lengthy discussion by the Board on the Robins
Island matter, he would .schedule a special Work Session of the Town
Board for 3:00 P.M;, Monday, February 8th, and the resolution would
be placed on the February 9th ag.enda for a vote.
Regular Town Board ~eeting reconvened at 5:25 P.M.
SUPERVISOR PELL: The first item is Resolution No. 4, the appointment
to the Southold Town Board of Appeals. There are four resumes sub-
mitted and a straw vote' taken during the working session of the Board
indicated there were two votes for Staples, two votes for Scott Harris,
two ~otes for Robert Douglass. Therefore not receiving a majority
of the Board for any one individual, of four votes,' Mr. Dougl'ass
will remain as a holdover appointment as a member of the Town Board
of Appeals.
Resolution No. 18, the position-recommended by the Southold
Town Planning Board Chairman, M~. Henry Raynor, to hire' Susan Long
as a Clerk-Typist, downgrading the position in that office from
Clerk-Stenographer, the Board did discuss it and postponed any
decision until February 9th. It was put on that agenda and Mr.
Raynor will be invited to attend' the meeting.
On the two unsafe building hearings that were held today, the
first one was on Frederick Reese and Harold Reese on what is referred
to as Mallard Inn. Testimony was given to the Board by Mr. Reese'
representative Mr. Hudson and the Board is ready to make a decision
on that one.
