development program for Southold is designed to serve youth from
the Greenport, Southold and Mattituck-Cutchogue School Districts and
to operate ou~ of the Senior-Youth building in Peconic. Services
provided include a drop-in lounge, informal counseling, recreational
and cultural activities wuch as field trips, arts & crafts~ photography,
quiet games and cooking. The program would be monitored by the Suffolk
County Youth Bureau and the Center's Executive Board, a not-for-profit
Community based corporation." The Town was advised the same day as
the workshop that the Town had been awarded a grant in the full
amount sought - $10,000. The program is to start April 1, 1980
and conclude December 31, 1980.--The workshop was almost entirely
taken up with information about the direction for the execution of
the many forms and reports which will be required first, to get the
program started and secondly, those which must be filed at regular
intervals during the course of the program.--Certain documents must
be filed before the contract for the grogram/grant can be signed.
among these: (a) proof of incorporation; (b) standard State Voucher
for the amount of advance payment required; (c) bank authorization
form; (d) proof of comprehensive insurance as required listing the
NYS Division for Youth as co-insured; (e) si~ned and notarized
Agreement.--Mrs. Johnson has been advised that the incorporation
is under way and the other forms required are enclosed in this file

matter of the Budget. A line hudget must be filed to start the
program and changes from this original.budget must be handled
through the Division ofr Youth office.--Mrs. Johnson made the
following recommendations: (1) The attorney working on the incorp-
oration should be urged to complete his work on'this as quickly as
possible. (2) Steps should be taken immediately to seek and obtain
the services of a qualified director for the program.

a committee had been formed to study the selction of the Peconic/
Flanders Bay area of Long Island as a candidate for the designation
under the Federal Estuarine Snactuary program. The concept included
the acquisition, of Robins Island. There was a public hearing held
on Thursday, JanUary 3rd in Riverhead on the proposed establishment.
The Town pa~icipated at that particular time, but due to the lack
of notice the Town Board on 2nd of January at the Organizational
Meeting did make a resolution that tkey oppose th~ establishment of
the Peconic/Flanders Estuar~ne Sanctuary until such time as additional
information is provided to the Southold Town Board. Ar the ±nforma,
tion meeting held on January 7th Lee Koppelman a member of the
Steering Committee for the program spoke at great lengths explaining
what the impact of the estuarine sanctuary would be. At present they
are in the process of applying for federal funds for a planning gr.ant
in the amoun~ of $50,000. If this grant should be given to the
committee, a planning committee would be formed and would include
all of the townships which would be affected by the sanctuary. At
JANUARY 8, 1980
that time the Town has been assured they will have representation
and input to ths planning commit~ee~ The Town is in the process of
preparing a letter for the January 10th deadline, setting forth the
Town's position. The Southold Town Planning Board submitted a letter
to Mr. Hansen, the manager of the Coastal Management Program, Depart-
ment of State in Albany, basically saying what the Board has said,
that the Town wants to make sure all of the people have an opportunity
to be heard before the plan is adopted.----Supervisor Pell stated the

(Supervisor Pell explained that this year the Town has entered into

comes in they are entered at the North Fork Bank and the money
deposited immediately in the bank so it can be working faster and
gaining the Town more interest. The Town is two weeks ahead of
last year in the money being deposited in interest bearing accounts
by this method. To receipt the bills and stamp them in, the Town
has the Burroughs machine at the Town Hall to do ig. The bank has
agreed, and would like to use the machine during the tax time so
they can stamp the bills like they are stamped here at the Town
Hall. Then the bills are given to the Receiver of Taxes and he
receipts them here. In the meantime the moneys have been coming
into the Town, being dispensed to the different schools, etc. and
so far the Town has put about $750,000.00 in interest accounts at
from 12-3/4% to 13%.----Mrs. Sherley Katz asked how often the' Town
