WORK SESSION 1:30 P.M. of June. The Board audfted the outstanding bi'lls for the month EXECUTIVE SESSION 2:25 P.M. Lietenant Daniel Winters and the Town Board discussed certain actions of Radio Operator Claude Kumjian. WORK SESSION 3:40 P.M. - Mr. Paul Fink of Pan Tech Management met with the Town Board to discuss the problems he has been having in securing, bidders for the construction of handicap 'facilities at the 'l'ibrar'ies. Mr. Peter Hanlon and Mr. Arthur Til'l~an, members of the Mattituck Library Board were also present. After unsuccessfully advertising for bids Mr. Fink has contacted several contractors directly asking for bids. He received two bids and both-were tremendously higher than the engineering estimate. He feels, after further discussion with one of the bidders, that the construction work, not including should come to about S22,000[00. He asked the Board's permission to break the contract into two phases - one contractor for the construction and one for the paving and was directed by th6 Board to pursue that avenue. The Board suggested names of paving ~ontractors M~. Fink might contact. The major problem in getting-bids locally has been the requirement, when using federal funds, of paying union scale wages, as well as the voluminous paper work involved. Mr. Hanlon questioned fact the grant was.for $50,000 and only $38,000 remains as a balance, with only $33,000 available for the proposed construction. Mr. Fink explained that certain funds were used for the engineering study, preparation of bid documents, administration of the fuffds, and a certain portion for costs to apply for future funding.---Mr. Fink asked for permission, and received same from both the Town Board and Mr. Hanlon and Mr. Tillman to make two changes, as recommended by the engineer, to reduce costs: (1) substitute anodized aluminum railing for the proposed wrought iron railing; and (2) eliminate the front handicapped facility entrance and just have a rear handicapped facility entrance. One entrance is sufficient and does not violate federal regulations for accessibility for the handicapped. If every- thing goes well with the contractors, work should begin in the very near future. Mr. Fink advised the Board that a timetable must be started immediately for correction of the heating system at the Senior/Youth Center. (He will discuss the rehabilitation project at Eighth and Ninth Street, Greenport and the Mattituck Inlet projecz at another time.) Approval of the HUD funds should be received in August, but in order to complete the correction work at the Center before the winter months, the Board should consider hiring an engineering firm for the project. If the project is rushed, it will take about four months from beginning to end. $50,000~:~DO has been allocated for.design and construction. Deputy Supervisor Murphy will request Supervisor Pell to correspond with H2M to determine what their engineering fee would be for the project. 4:10 P.M. The Board began reviewing the agenda. 6:05 P.M. - Work Session adjourned.

COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: This morning the Town Board attending what is called a Scoping Session at the office of the New York De~armment of Environmental Control at Stony Brook. We were there with the people from Energy Development Corporation, the North Fork Environmental Council and a few other people to go over some of the problems pertaining to possible permitting to burn municipal solid waste at the Disposal Area and generate electricity. It was a meeting to get input from groups other than the Town Board and other than the builder, to give information zo NYDEC so that they would know what to put, or the questicns to be asked to be put into an Environmental 262 JULY 7, 1981 Impact Statement which should be prepared and then they will have public hearings detailing the program to burn municipal solid waste. Of course, we in the Town have a lot of questions about whether we'll be allowed to landfill the ash. As you know, the state has mandated we must close our l~ndfills. So far they have not given us permission to landfill ash but they have recommended that we build a facility in the Town of Southampton and we still can't understand why it's nice to bury ash in Southampton and illegal to bury it in Southold but we're hopeful that we can pursue our objectives which at the firsz blush tha~ we see so fat will save us 90% of the projected costs of participating in the Five Town Program and hopefully in six or seven weeks we'll have a little more information. Thaz was today with the entire Town Board. Thank you, Frank. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Thank you. Henry? COUNCILMAN DRUM: I have no comment. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: John, do you have anything? COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Nothing really except I'd like to. report.' that the telephones that we had arranged for the three ~e~ches - New Suffolk, To~v~ Beach and McCabes Beach were installed in time for the 4th of July weekend. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Thank you, John, you did a great job. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Lieutenant Winters deserves the praise, but I'll accepz it. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: We met--to report on a.c'~am s'eedfng conference or meeting we had with the Town 'of 'E~s~ ~ampton--we met with the Bay Constable, one of the Councilmen and a man by the name of Paul Flagg who's a graduate student at Stony Brook and was runnfng the program for the Town of East Hampton with almost the exact same amount that we're using here to seed our creeks with the oversized clams, uncertified clams for spawning purposes. Paul Stou~-emburgh and Tom Cielatka, Ray Dean and myself went out there and it really was fantastic and the potential here for Southold really looks great. They're growing the seed clams from--probably four of them would be about the size of your small fingernail and in the one sea~on they are growing them zo the size where they're over the size of your thumbnail. A tremendous growth. What they're doing--the survival raze on these clams, ordinary seeding, the spawning of clams, you lose 99 and 99 and 99 hundredths of all the small seed to the natural predators, crabs, fish, anything that's do~wn in the bottom of the creek. This way you get about 99% survival and you get tremendous growth. One of their problems in running the program was thaz the scallop spawns attach themselves to these beds and grow so fast that they can'z even get oum. That every two weeks someone has to come in and clean these beds out. It seems fantastic that you get this amount o£ growth on it. In the fall you take and you~ed the various creeks and in about two years you have a really marketable clam with a tremendous survival rate and according to their figures is over 90%. I think it has a great potential here. ~I--§poke to the Supervisor and he asked me to appoint a committee of interested members of the Town Board and interested people in the community. Tom Cielatka the Bay Constable, Ray Dean will also be very happy and very interested to serve on this. Very low budgeted item but a tremendous potential for really helping revive an industry that really is almost dead here. We also met on Monday with a group of people--two people from the Sea Grant Institute which really works out of Stony Brook and they're doing research on the growing of seaweed. What they were down here for Was just to tell the different towns. They were coming to each town to tell us the progress of their research. It is quite a ways away, but one of the possibilities that they're talking about is establishing these farms out in the-- they're aot even sure where--in the ocean, in the sound, the bays, wherever they feel this would grow the best and harvest this and produce a methane gas. They claim that fairly soon, if everything works out right, it will be down to comparable price with LILCO and they could feed it right in and be a very good clean industry here and it would be another industry that has a potential of growth here using our natural resources what we have here. We're JULY 7, 1981 263 kwo-three years away; two years from now, nok this next summer, but the summer after, they are setting an experimental farm up somewhere probably in Smithtown Bay to do this and then ko set up a pilot plant. So they were coming down just to keep the Town Board informed but this is another potential for our area without hurting anything; not taking any of our natural resources away. Bill asked me to comment on Pan Tech Corporation who was here today and they finally feel they have a contractor for a project that is out for renovating two libraries in the Town. They fipally feel they have a contractor they hope they could work with and get this started. It's a long time coming and hopefully within a couple weeks--the Town Board today agreed to let park of the contract ouk and ko make it easier for this contractor to do the work and I'm sure we can come in within the amount that we have. That's about it. II. PUBLIC NOTICES - COUNCILMAN MURPHY: 1.

COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I'm going to vote yes. I would like to make a comment on it just for the record. Very quick in hearing about this and the only reason I really woul~ say yes, I do feel that the Town Clerk's term should be four years~ but I do think that you should have had a little more time to study and maybe add one or two other people. Maybe you'd wan~ to add the Superintendent of Highways or even the Supervisor into this to the same purpose. I do realize we are going to have a public hearing, we are going to have more information and the people can come in and give us their input and also then we are all going to have our final say on election day. The reason I am voting yes now is because time is very critical and should be done and we really don't have the time to study this and have the public hearing by going to our next Board meeting. So I'm voting yes. JULY 7, 1981 269 Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Councilman Drum. This resolution was declared duly adopted. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: That's the last of the resolutions. It's a short schedule tonight. I'd like to ask the Councilmen if they have anything more to say. Larry? (not at this time) Henry? (I have nothing) John? COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Not at this time, although on that matter of the use of the Senior Citizens/Youth Activity Building, I understand that those people who were interested in speaking may not have had an opportunity to speak. Maybe they would like to say something. (no comments). COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I would like to open it up to the floor-- COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I would like to say then, that the gentleman in back (Sam Markel) is largely responsible for the ladies getting the use of the building, if that's any help, Sam. SAM MARKEL: Thank you very much, John. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Anyone else? Henry? COUNCILMAN DRUM: I would like to say that I noticed Qur Chief of Police, Chief Cataldo just walked in and it's nice to see him. I understand that he had a farewell party today and I believe his intentions are of retiring on the 15th and I'm just sorry I could not be there. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Chief, would you like to say anything? CHIEF CATALDO: No, I have nothing to say, but I would like to introduce Mr. Robert Ruddner who is an attorneM-at-law. I believe he has something ~o say. MR. ROBERT RUDDNER: I wouldn't want to spoil the day that Carl had. I really came out to talk to Mr. Tasker about a situation that ~ would like to see resolved if it is possible. COUNCIL.MAN MURPHY: Anyone else care to say anything? COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I would second what Henry said about the Chief. The whole Board would. The only thing else is we had a letter in communications from Assemblyman Behan on the coastal zone management and Deputy Supervisor indicated to us today that they are trying to get.: together a meeting with Marry Lang tomorrow concerning the coastal zone management legislation in Albany which is revised and is now called Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources which is another ac~, Article 34, relative to coastal erosion hazard areas. I guess the five east end towns are concerned about this matter, but I spoke to Senator LaValle yesterday and he said both pieces of legislation, if I understood him correctly, have been passed by both houses. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: If there is nothing more I declare the meeting over and. thank you very much. On motion of Councilman Murphy, seconded by Councilman Drum, it was RESOLVED that there being no further business to come before this Town Board meeting adjournment be called at 8:15 P.M.
