Building Inspector's monthly report - July 1982. 2 Town Trustee's monthly report - July 1982. 3. Town Clerk's monthly repor~ - July 1982. 4. Councilmen!s reports.

COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Nothing except that I've been meeting with a group of people interested in preserving open spaces in So'uthotd Town and in conjunction with thar I've spoken to Blaine Allen of the ~ral Land Bank, which is a co-op of farmers providing low interest loans to farmers and we discussed some ways in which we might encourage farming or the continuation of farming in this area. t also met with Alex Hargrave and discussed some ideas in his field. Another thing that happened was the meeting we had with some of these people, these same people, and you people on the moratorium issue and I contacted Lee Koppetman in an effort to get either him or an aide to the meet- ing, or a synopsis of his opinion on a moratorium, which wasn't forth- coming. However,he did express his general opposition to such an action over the phone to me and I'll try to ge~ him out again next week. That's all I have to say. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Councilman Murdock. AUGUST 3, 1982 209 COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Vacation ~as ~Y~rY nice. SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Nickles. CODT~CILMAN NICKLES: I have two matters to report on. Several weeks ago I set up a meeting with the Southt'a'nd Corporat:i'on, which is the 7-Eleven people and met with our citizen's group and the Supervisor 'here in the Town Hall, at which we didn't gain too much ground and subsequently visited a store of theirs in Stony Brook which has so-called colonial decor and then we set upa follow-up meeting last Friday and had all their real estate peopIe.,and other officers from their local firm out and we did effect some changes although not all the changes the interested parties would like To have. Mainly we did get--they're not going to have the mansard roof with the red plastic shingles, they're going to have wood cedar shi'ngles. They're going to have bricks- on three sides, the front and two sides. We were able to induce them to plant street trees' between the sidewalk and curb; we got them to limit the number of games- to two and we also they. have agreed to put up a wooden post or colonial or rustic type sign and then a couple of other items- relative to elimination of~the sign on the mansard roof and. at the street.- ..... Another matter I've been working on is Bo:iS-seau ~venue and .I can't say ihat I've been working on this alone. It starzed twelve years ago with Chief Cataldo, our former chief, who Started to effect .a change..with the-.Department of Transportation to put in a l'ight 'at the f'n'terse'cti'on' 'of B0'is~eau Avenue and Route 25. I took up the cudgel last year and now with the help of our new Chief Winzers- and Senator LaValle we have at least gotten traffic counters at Boissea~ Avenue at two places- and at Hobart. Hopefully with. the new' store opening up we can pursuade the Department of Transportation to give us' a light at least for the s'ummer season when we have heavy traffic there and maybe have it put on a blinker for the off-season. In the last five years we've had 28 accidents there and one fatality and if anybody is down at that intersection they know how difficult it is to get access out on to Route 25 from Boisseau Avenue or to pull out from any of the stores in that vicinity. So, hopefully, we'll be successful, but I see a lot of peopl'e here and if you want t.o drive up and down Boisseau Avenue a lot in the next couple of weeks it might help. SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Murphy. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I'd like to report Tommy Czelatka and our seed clam specialist have report that we are getting fantastic growth and fantastic results on the growing of the See'd clams. For those of you who don't know what it is about, we're taking tiny little seeds and we're getting such good growth that in about one year we'll probably be close to a marketable clam and which we then will seed out in the various creeks. We started with about 80,000 seed clams this year which have an estimated survival rate of about 85% which is absolutely great and the g, rowth rate is even better than that. This fellow has a program going on in East Hampton Town and our program has about 25% faster growth because of the salinity of the water and the water temperature. So, we're very pleased with it and our bay constable is really doing a fantastic job helping to monitor this.- .... Also, on the Landfill Committee with Joe Townsend and Larry Murdock, myself, we are setting up this week and next week we should be starting demonstrating projects on the composting of the raw sewage in Southold Town. We're going to try to eliminate all the leaves and brush' that are going into the landfill with takes a tremendous amount of volume, and we' re going to try to compost the raw sewage that's coming mn. We have a machine from an outfit in Iowa that's been delivered last week down to the Highway Department that we can use on an experimental basis and we should be starting next week. It looks very promising and hopefully we'll have more good news to report on it. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Judge Edwards; anything on Fishers Island? TOWN JUSTICE EDWARDS: Just that the population is looking forward to the 18th with many many arrows waiting for you and Mr. Dean. SUPERVISOR PELL: Once a year, for the people who don't understand this, the Town Board goes to fishers Island, which is part of your Town, part of Southold Town, and we have a meeting there in the school and residents come out, civic associations come out, and we try to answer many of their complaints, some we can and some we 210 AUGUST 3, 1982 cannot. As the Judge just said, there are arrows thrown at members of the Board who do not meet the needs that they would like to see done. Evidentially yod're referring to Mr. Dean, from what your remarks were. JUSTICE EDWAPJ)S: Among others, yes. SUPERVISOR PELL: Under Councilmen's reports, the Supervisor reports progress on all fronts. The Town is moving ahead slow but sure. We also have other reports: 6. Supervisor's monthly report - July 1982. All accounts are pretty much in budget, in line. 7. Highway Department monthly report July 1982. 8. Fishers Island Ferry District monthly report - July 1982. 9, North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. monthly report - July 1982. As I said, all these reports are placed on file with the Town Clerk.

Hananer, M.~ Green the fence that was just put up at Horton Point because the stairs are in gisrepair and people going dow~ those stairs could get hurt and the To~n could become liable. At this time the Board put a fence up there-and will also put up--Mr. Dean will put up signs to go along with the fence, and remove the remains of the stairs that are there. 3. Letter from the New SUffolk Civic 'AssoCiati'on, Inc. in regard to the bridge that will be put up on New Suffolk Avenue, the first'~one, the ~ssociation would like to have no fishing ramp along this bridge; a fishing catwalk it's called. The Town Board reviewed this a year and ~ half ago and with the help of the Department of Public Works instructed or asked them to include a fishing lamp along side this bridge. The Civic Association is opposed to it but it will be put in according to the County of Suffolk who is going t~ put the bridge in. 4. Letter from Pebble' beach' Farms regarding the rains up there. In tha~ last rain storm in June they also had problems with drainage and some of it helped to make problems elsewhere. 5. A letter from 'Co~inne~ Donopria on Horton Point asking the Town ~oard to restore the stairs and put the~ back in working condition. There are two sides to every coin. The Town Board has to make the decision which, way ~o go, and as you heard before the decision was made by the Town Board. 6. We met with a group of people today, maybe !5 or so -came in, and discussed the proposed request for the Town to put a moratorium in effect on subdivisions. The Town Board has taken no action a~ this time on this. They did give us a seven page letter last night which the Town Board did review today quickly and will give it more thought and more consideration at a later date. At this time no action is being taken by your Town Board. IV. ~EARINGS SUPERVISOR PELL: We had one today at 3:05 and we will probably make a determination on it later in the agenda. (Public Hearing in the AUGUST 3, 1982 211 matter of the application of Enconsuttants, Inc. on behalf of Matt~A-Mar Marina for a wetland permit.) V.~ RESOLUTIONS COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I would like to make the first one, Bill. This one is one that a I got involved in about 15 months ago when I was on a trip out to California where my daughter was working and got involved and met a group of people who were probably the originators of this whole world peace movement. A tremendous group, names - Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Dennis Banks, 'head of the American Indian Movement, Caesar Chevez, the United Farm Workers and a ~remendous amount of other people. Really I was very impressed with their dedication and sincerity and interest and I was very happy to make this resolution and I'll read it as follows: Moved by Councilman Murphy, seconded by Councilman Townsend, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold, New York goes on record as follows: 1. Supporting the New York legislative proposal for a Nuclear Freeze Referendum on the upcoming November state ballot (Senate Bill #10239-A) and the corresponding state assembly bill co-sponsored by Assemblyman John L.

The Board did discuss it today in great length. The outcome of it was that Councilman Murphy and Councilman Townsend will meet with some people in Town who have been for this and some who are opposed ~o it and inform the rest of the Board and perhaps can work out something along these lines that we all Will think will be beneficial to the Town. It is not a dead item because it is not being acted on at this time. Frank and Joe will head it up and get it updated perhaps. 3.

COUNCILMAN TOWSEND: This goes back to the 201 Wastewater Study which was initiated back in 1975 or 1976 when I was Mayor of Greenport and the Town and Village talked about the best way to handle scavenger waste.' As you know, scavenger waste is a problem in the Town o£ Southold because right now the honey wagons as they are a£fectionately called all dump in one section o£ the landfill which is a very potent source of pollution and that happens to be right over or major source of fresh water. At that point we under- took this study and determined that this was the Best way To handle Southold To~m's scavenger waste problem, that being to build a treatment plant, a scavenger waste treatment plant on property owned by the Village o£ Greenport, that would be owned by the Town of Southold and run by the Village o£ Greenport. The £undlng was to come from federal and state sources pretty much. I think at tha~ point it was expected to be $7½%. As it turned out it came in at 92½%:and we are that much more fortunate. On the negative side, 217 218 (a) (b) o AUGUST 3, 1982 the original estimate was considerably less than it is now to build the thing so I guess the net cost to the Town of Southold and the bond is about the same. It has been a long haul and we're now finally very near completion on this thing. This is one of the first concrete steps. Our attorney has drawn up the scavenger waste district which includes all of Southold Town excepting those locations presently serviced by the Greenport Sewer District. As far as priority, we're quite certain of getting money because we're informed that we' re in the entire State of New York on projects of this nature, we are number two.

COUNCILMAN ~RDOCK: I wish Joe a good vacation, he's leaving in two days to go way out to Puget Sound and make us all jealous. SL~PERVISOR PELL: John? COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I did have a note today. We had that report from Lyle Meredith on the Senio'r Citfzen's/Youth bu'i'l~in~ and I neglected to bring it up. We ought to, at the next Town Board meeting, sit down and discuss his recommendations. SUPERVISOR PELL: We will. Frank? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I forgot t~o mention this before, but £or any resident of the Town who travels Route '48, the County Road back here, or anyone who lives right in this area, will be pleased to know that the county went out to bid last Thursday for the new sump in the field next t~ Van Duzers. The contract will probably be awarded in two to t'hree months and construction will start. One of the nicer things about this contract is that through the efforts of the Supervisor and members of the Town Board here we contacted the Suffolk County Department of Public Works Commissioner Bart Cass and we had included in the contract that all the material from the sump will be trucked down, as part of the contract, to our landfill which we can use as cover for covering garbage and for putting cover on top of the landfill. It'll be a tremendous savings for the Town and I'm very happy with the cooperation between Suffolk County and the Town and hopefully it is going to relieve a real major source of a headache for anyone who has to travel that road during a rain storm. That's it, Bill. SUPERVISOR PELL: Judge? JUSTICE ED~ARDS: I just want to wish Joe a nice vacation and I think the reason he's sneaking off a~ this time is he's going to miss the Fishers Island trip. He's junior councilman and it's his turn to do the cooking, so he's trying to get out of that. Thank you, Bill. SUPERVISOR PELL: The floor is yours, who wants to address the Town Board? MR. JOHN L. SCHMITZ, Pierce Drive, Cutchogue: Pierce Drive is a street running from Harbor Lane through to the creek, I think it's Eugenes Creek. It's about 700 feet long, that is Pierce Drive. Now, we have been without a streev light for over seven months and the people--the party concern has been duly notified more than once. I have a particular reason for getting attention on this matter because I have very limited eyesight. A few nights ago I went to visit a neighbor and I almost wound up in a bee hive and you wouldn't want me to go around town with lumps on my head from bees. Well, I wonder if you can't have the departmen~ who has charge of tha~ matter give their immediate attention. I am not the only person who is disadvantaged by the lack of the street light, all of our neighbors are concerned and many many or-them have visual trouble the same as I have. Now, I was told when I called once that they were waiting for a part. They didn't tell me what part, but it's been seven months and I thought that they might obtain the part pretty ~oon. COUNCILMAN NICKLES- Jack, are you saying that the street light is there but it's ou~? 222 AUGUST 3, 1982 MR. SCHMITZ: It's defective. The pole is number 3. Sb~PERVISOR PELL: We;Il take care of it. MR. SCHMITZ: That's all I have to say about it, thank you. COUNCILMAN .MURPHY: Jack, I might add that possible one of thel reasons are--I will look into it in the next couple days--but possibly one of the reasons is the light is probably oavned by LILCO and we just rent the light. Ray Dean is in the process-i- we've had a terrible time getting a bid out for where we could buy our own lights. We do have a contract that is out now and we're waiting delivery and possibly Ray is doing this, that we. would change from the LILCO light where they own it to where we own it ourselves and just pay the electric charge. I wouldn't! be surprised because I could tell you that Ethel in Ray Dean's office is really quite good at seeing that these things are replaced ~and the young man who works part time for the light department is very conscientious also and all I can say is that it probably is tKat they'r'e waiting for a new fixture. MR. SCHMITZ: I rather agree with you. I think it is not any individual in the department who is at fault or negligent. The matter is between LILCO and yourself. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: We'll see if we can rush it for you. We realize it is important for you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Does anybody else wish to address the Board? Mr. LeCOmpte. MR. OLIN HARPER LeCOMPTE, North Fork Peace ~roup: The North Fork Peace Group was organized only recently, and certainly the Board is to be commended on passing the resolution you passed tonight providing for a--requesting a referendum on the issue of a~'n~a¢!e~r freeze. However, there is a question I had. There was ~n~O~l%er aspect or another part to Councilman MurPhy's resolution that apparently was omitted. Originally the resolution had"two ~acets or two parts. One was urging that the legislature provide for a referendum on the nuclear freeze issue on the November ballot. The other portion of it was that the Town Board request of the Presfdent of the United States or the national leaders, a freeze on nuclear weapons. That latter portion was omitted from the resolution that was adopted and I wonder if someone could~expiain that. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Mr. LcCompte, I asked that Councilman Murphy s~rike number ! on his resolution that reads: "Supporting a mutually verifiable freeze on the production, testing and deploy- ment of nuclear weapons and their delivery systems." I believe that the people of the State of New York are entitled to a refer- endum where they may speak, however, I don't think th~s Board was put here by the people of Southold Town thinking that they had all the knowledge relative to nuclear disarmament or deployment and I thought in that sense it would be an improper item for the Town Board to discuss'. I don't think that we are knowledgable relative to the matter and I asked that it be struck and Frank agreed ~o go along willingly. COUNCILMAaN MURPHY: No fight. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: No fight. It is just that we were discussing a referendum as opposed to the merits of a nuclear disarmament. MR. LeCOMPTE: I understand, but what you're saying--as I say we appreciate what you've adopted but our group is unanimously in favor of a resolution by this Board which would urge the President of the United States and the Congress or the President of the United Stares to propose a mutual freeze on nuclear weapons, and we feel that that is a mos~ important issue facing all of us today. COUNCILMkN NICKLES: Well, we've had other items in the past related to abortion and other things such as that where we did not take positions on and as Sophia Adler knows she stopped by my office las~ week or so and we had quite an animated discussion for a good half hour about my personal feelings on what are Town Board matters and what are not and she knows very clearly my position is not anti AUGUST 3, 1982 223 nuclear freeze or p~o~nucleam~-~-f~r;~z~:;~ I jus~ have a feeling this is not a matter for the Town Board, but I could not--her argument was effective because she did get me to vote for'this on the basis that I could not deny the people of the State of New York a referendum to let them express their opinions to their legislators and to their Congressional legislators and to the President of the United States. I don't know that it's the position of this Town Board to express opinions on verifiable freeze on the production and testing and deployment of nuclear weapons. MR. LeCOMPTE: May I just say something else. In my opinion and the opinion of many, in our form of government each one of us has a finger on, in a sense, on the nuclear button and each of us shares a concern--each of us shares a responsibility for nuclear weaponry that could kill millions and could invite retaliation that would wipe all of us out and we feel that's the most important issue facing all of us including all members of the Town, all the residents of the Town. That's why we think it's especially appro-,: priate that a Town Board which is the unit closest to the people, should send a message to Washington, not just to Albany, but to Washington saying, enough, call a halt;;t~,:this continuing to pile weapon upon weapon when we already have more than enough to kilt everyone in the Soviet Union. It's madness and I think it would be most appropriate for this Town Board in addition to passing the resolution--adopting the resolution that you've adopted tonight, to also seriously consider this, and I hope within the near future that can be done. SUPERVISOR PELL: Anybody else wish to address the Town Board? Yes sir? ' REVEREA~ DONALD HARRINGTON: I am State Chairman of the Liberal Party and I live on Arrowhead Lane, Peconic. This is the firsv time I've attended a Southold T~wn Board meeting and I'm very happy ~o be here. I just want to support Harper LeCompte's plea. He has advanced the basic arguments. I would simply add that if the Town Board believes the average citizen of New York State to be able to vote intelligently on the question of nuclear freeze, certainly the members of this Town Board ought to feel themselves capable to vo~e intelligently on that question. It's one of the reasons that we elect outstanding people to be on the Town Board, because we expect them to understand these issues and to be courageous enough to take a position on our behalf on such issues. I would like to say that the Liberal Party of New York State Zt its State Committee meeting a little over four weeks ago voted to recommend to the President and to the Congress a nuclear freeze and also to support the notion of a referendum with only one or ~wo abstentions, almost unanimous roves in both instances, and we certainly would support Harper LeCompte's plea. SUPERVISOR PEI,L: Thank you. Anybody else wish ~o address the Town Board? Yes. MRS. SOPHIA ADLER, Southold: Members of the Board, friends and neighbors, we---I came prepared with a little statement and I'll continue---I'll give it. I do appreciate your passing as much of the'resolution as you did. As recently as a year ago nuclear warfare was not something that many people around here talked about. Most people kept their private nightmares of nuclear war neatly out of sight hoping that somewhere there were experts who knew wha~ they were doing and would protect us. However, within the space of this last year a great many Americans have come to feel it their personal responsibility ~o help pull our world back from nuclear insanity. The sense that all life is now poised on a hair-trigger, a technical failure, a faulty computer chip that nervous fingers many at any moment launch a first strike and that's not a baseball ~erm, to bring on a response caIled "instant retaliatory ann'ihilation, after which mankind will be pretty much disposed of in a matter of a few minu~es. Not only are many religious councils calling for reversal of the arms race but people in all walks of'life and from all over the world are making it a common cause in calling for a hault ~o international proliferation of nuclear weapons and that's what this original resolution called for, a mutually verifiable freeze on the production, testing and deployment of nuclear weapons and their delivery systems, and that's the part that was left out, Now, such a ~roup has banded together here on the North Fork only a few weeks ago. So far we call ourselves the "North Fork Peace Group". Our first act was to present a resolution for a nuclear freeze to the 224 AUGUST 3, 1982 Southold Town Board and unknown to us this resolution we. understood had already been proposed by a member of this Board. We feel now that our certainly that the resolution would have been taken up and considered a whole resolution has been---we fee! down in that. A recent count in New England alone,freeze resolutions have been passed in 425 town meetings and 178 city councils have passed this resolution that we are asking you to pass. We hope that you will consider this resolution f~rther and as a matter of fact allow us discussion! with you---further discussion. I have more things I would like to say and I'd like to prepare some thoughts, particularly in response to Mr. Nickles' expression of his reservations on the issue. I ~o'uld like to be able To discuss it further at a set time that we can all hear each other. Thank you. ~ SUPERVISOR PELL: Who else wishes to address the Board? Yes? DR. ROSENBERG, Peconic: I brought with me a copy of a Kings County Medical Society Bulletin which I had received some months ago. Many years ago a--inretrospect--a forward thinking group brought u~ to the Kings County Society at that time a thought about asking the cessation of all testing of nuclear bombs. At that Time this society turned that down, and in fact condemned those positions. Now this same society, with the years that have passed and marked accumulation of nuclear weaponry throughout the world, nows sees fit to run article after article in their bulletin in which they also cal for a nuclear freeze. Of course, being a medical society, they point out that there just wouldn't ever be eno~dgh doctors to take care of any survivors of nuclear holocaust. I like the heading they put, "The day t~e doctors die," and I don't want to take t~o much time up, but some figures are worthy of repetition. "Victims of radiation would; come to a death toll in excess of one hundred million. In addition ~o this many would die of poison exposure, significant doses of radi- activity, since this type of over-exposure is known to red, me the body's resistance zo disease a variety of diseases would spread at its heels, to bring to light the harsh reality that epide~S of cholera, malaria, yellow fever, plague, influenza, pneumon~ ~ems cruel, but is it cruel? Not at alt. It ~is more 'importa~%?~l~ ~oint ~ out the reality of a nuclear attack. Thinking and disc-us~ !this horrendous possibility must give us the motivation and ~ /on to ~ do all we can to prevent this catastrophe. Ne prav for ~he strength "~ and wisdom to seek preventative measures and the awarenes need to join together in this necessary fight for life. Wak Life · s precious. Let us use whatever influence we have to prev~t the horrors of a nuclear holocaust." This is a little le~mer from the president of the Kings County Medical Society. T~ere's another article and another physician who gives some statistics such as: "A single twenty megaton thermo-nuclear bomb exploded on a clear day at ground eleven in a,'large east coast city would crea~e a fire ball nearly six miles in diameter, with temperatures of twenty to thi~ty~million degrees Fahrenheit. Everything in the downtown area, the streets and earth below and all living things would be vaporized, leaving a crater several hundred feet deep. At six miles from the epicenter all people would be instantly killed by a huge silent heat blast traveling at the speed'of light. Winds would reach 225 miles per hour. Within a ten mile radius, which is the distance from New York to Newark, a blast wave would produce 100 mile per hour winds and fires would inflict almost total casualties that would leave fifty percent dead and forty percent injured. Even at 20 miles from the epicenter fifty percent would be killed or injured by the direct thermal radiation and blast pressures. Hospitals would be destroyed and most medical personnel would be among the dead and injured. R~cent!y 1500 British ohysicans ~-~ and health workers warned that effective medical disaster planning f ii for nuclear war is totally impossible. It is estimated the compa~ativ~_~.~ restrained nuclear war in Europe alone would kill about one hundred seventy million people. Approximately one hundred million woUld be killed outright and sixty-eight ~Lillion ~onld die from radiation. A further one hundred and fifty million would be seriously hurt. For more than twenty years people of this country have recognized the futility of planning for their own survival in an unlimited nuclear attack. They have steadfastly' refused to build nuclear bomb shelters to protect themselves from the unprotectable." I won't burden you with more of these statistics, but this from an organization which is considered extremely conservative. I would like to add my voice therefore and urge this Board to reconsider. I do not think, as Nickles stated, I do not think it would be so self-deprecatory as to make a statement that we don't have the knowledge necessary to ask for .a nuclear freeze. I think we do and I hope that you will act. favorably on that. Thank yon. AUGUST 3, 1982 225 SUPERVISOR PELL: Who is the president of this group, do you have one here? MR. LeCO~{PTE: We don't have a president yet. I'm the':nearest thing to president, I am the chairman of the standing committee. SUPERVISOR PELL: May I s~ggest to you that you get a small number of your people and if you wish_ to address the Town Board in a work- ing session as' a group, we meet on the 24th. You can contact my office prior to that--four or fi~e days prior--and if you want to readdress the Town Board we will do it in a working session. Who else w~shes to address the Town Board? I would like to sort of leave this topic alone if we could and leave it to your, I'm going to use the word, executive committee to address the Board in a working session. Anybody else wish to address the Board? MR. FRED ADLER, Ceda~ Beach, Southold: In reference to Councilman Nickles' remark of a lack of knowledge, I just want to advise the Board that there will be a public meeting at Custer Institute on the 25th of this month for the purpose of education on the issue and we expect and hope that those on the Board who feel they lack the k'nowledge will attend that meeting and participate in the discussion and I think we will all benefit in understanding of the issue. That would be August 25th at 8:00 o'clock at Custer Institute. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Anybody else wish to address the Board on a different topic, maybe? MR. FRANK BEAR, Southold: I almost didn't bring this up because after this serious discussion which I have a great deal of sympathy with, I thought maybe the thing that I'm going to have to say and do here might not be quite appropriate, but I decided to Ko ahead with it just the same. Whereas, the Town Board has listened to and tolerated my comments, contentions and complaints, and Whereas, this Town Board with the cooperation and assistance of the Town Clerk and Town Attorney deserves special attention for its concern for the expenses and programs as they affect our taxes, and Whereas, I have done considerable gardening without any concept of the limits of consumption by my wife and me, Therefore, I, Franklin Bear, do wish to and at this time shall present to the members of the Town Board, the Town Clerk and Town Attorney one zucchini or one.,yellow summer squash. SUPERVISOR PELL: Frank keeps us supplied at Board meetings with little ~omatoes. Anybody else wish to address the Town Board? (No response.) Frank, on behalf of the Board and the Town Clerk and ~ounsel, we say thank you. Anybody else wish to address the Board? (No response.) For information sake, the Board stated to work today a~ half past eight this morning, we did break for lunch, we got out of here tonight at half past five and got back h~re at seven fifteen tonight. So for your Town Board it h~s been a long day, but this is our Board day and we go through this usually twice a month. The items we go over perhaps are fast for some of you but we've been spending ten hours prior to moving them along at a rapid rate tonight. We went through a meeting that'affects the Town in about an hour and ten minutes, but it did take us ten or eleven hours to get preparef for this one hour of business. We thank you very much. Moved by Supervisor Pell, seconded by Councilman Murdock, it was RESOLVED that there being no further business to come before this Town Board meeting adjournment be called at' 8:5~ P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Edwards', Councilman Townsend, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Supervisor Pell. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. Judith T.
