Before Super- ~mAorCMartocchia passed away he met with Mr. ~bodward and Highway Superintendent Dean relative to certain railroad p~p~rties and pu0jects in Southo!d.TowD~. At one d~ the meetings he was told the ~0rk~was not being considered'properly in the budget and unless the North Fork supervisors wrote strong letters to the railroad urging them not only to maintain the railroad but to upgrade it, it was quite possible the railroad would be allowed to deteriorate and possibly eventually phased out. Mr. Martocchia did write, Riverhead Supervisor Allen Smith and Shelter Island Supervisor Bliss also wrote to the railroad and representatives on the State and County levels letting them know that we felt the railroad, especially ~n view of the energy crisis is an important part of the town, and would probably be more i~portant it it were properly cared for. Through ~his effort the Town has received approval from the railroad on fixing up a certain number of railroad crossings, also the Town has agreed verbally, and we are waitin~ for a confirming letter from the railroad that we will take care of certain railroad properties in the ToWn and we will be reimbursed from the railroad on that.--- Highway Superintendent Dean stated that he met with Mr. Woodward and Supervisor Martocchia at the Southold railroad station. The railroad has given Mr. Dean permission to purchase all the materials, blacktop to rebuild the station, platform and bulkhead. This will cost between $1,000 and $1,500 and the railroad will pay for it. They also gave the Town priorities on crossings. They asked for 3 and the Town supplied 8 seperate crossings. Next year they will probably do Depot Lane, Alvahs Lane, Youngs Avenue and Love Lane. The Town's biggest gripe was that the south side got all the money last year. We want our share of the money. The railroad has agreed to help try to upgrade the railroad system in Southold Town. 15. Receipt of a copy of a letter sent to Huntington Town Supervisor Butterfield by Allen Smith, Supervisor of Ri'verhead Tow~ relative to a proposed meeting in Westhampton with the Lieutenant Governor .on July 26th to protest the issue of the potential decrease in State aid to local municipalties.

Justice Surer stated that s~nce %he Highway Department has been cut 20% in their gas allocations and since this uan is the only one left in'the Town and if anything happens to it then the Nutrition Program and Seni~ Citizen Transportation group would be out of business, he does not feel the van should be allowed out of the county a.t'this time.--- ~r.

This reSolution was declared duly adopted. Mrs. Gladys Csajko complimented the Town Board on their appointment of William Weinheimer to the Board of Assessment Review. Mr. Donald Stanton, resident of Leeton Drive, Southold spoke to the Board relative to the GOldsmith Inlet Jetty. He stated that in 1964 the Goldsmith Inlet Jetty was designed and constructed. Since that time there is a record of damage east of the jetty because the drift of sand on the north shore in that region is from west to east. The substantial damage can be documented if required. He asked the~Board to request, now, in 1979, that the Goldsmith Inlet Jetty be removed. The purpose for which it was constructed no longer exists, as there was a planned marina in that area and the plans have since been abandoned. There was also plans for the construction of additional jetties east of Goldsmiths in recognition of the fact that additional shoreline stabilization was required. Those jetties were never constructed. Consequently Mr. Stanton has suffered substantial damage. He is about 1~ mile east of the Inelt, and a number of his neighbors both east and west of the jetty have suffered damages as late as this year. In addition to that there is also public property being damaged. The Suffolk County Peconic Dunes Camp is suffering serious erosion, Kenney's Beach is suffering serious erosion, and the problem can be expected to continue until some action is taken and it the Town of Southold who are the owners of the title to the Goldsmith Inlet Jetty and would h&~e to initiate the action to have it removed. Mr. Stanton stated it has been establisked to his own siatisfaction through marine contractors that the jetty could be removed at no cost to the taxpayers because the cost of the stone itself is of sufficient value that there would be no additional cost for the removal i~self. Deputy Supervisor Homan asked Mr. Stanton if he knew of his own knowledge of any litigation pending in the matter?--Mr. Stanton said he was not aware of any directly concerning the Go!~smith Inlet Jetty. He knows that there is a Notice of Claim on file by Judge Lockman.----Town Attorney Tasker stated that there is a Notice of Claim and the ~nsurance carrier is investigating it, but he is not aware of any litigation as yet.--- Mr. Stanton stated that they have documented through surveys and a check of the records that have been kept by the Corps of Engineers in the last 75 years. They checked the recent rates of erosion against those historical rates and the current rate of erosion east of the jetty are five to ten times that rate prior to construction.--- Deputy Supervisor Homan said he would rather not get into a long discussion on the jetty at this time. He had a call today from the New York State Attorney Gsneral's Office relative to Goldsmith Inlet and he presumes it concerns the jetty, He has given dates for a future meeting. There is no further information on the matter than that. He has asked the Attorney General's office to follow up confirming the date and if possible the subject matter so it can be researched and the town attorney be aware of what the Attorney General wishes to meet on in relation to Goldsmith Inlet.--Mr. Samuel Markel, Southold, stated that prior to Supervisor Martocchia's untimely passing he personally went to see Mr. Markel concerning the jetty stating that not only was the jetty put in by the County, approved by the Corps of Engineers at Southold Town's request, but the son of a very prominent politician got the job to do it and he told Mr. Markel that the Attorney General's Office was going to investigate it.---Deputy Supervisor Homan stated that Mr. Markel appears to know a lot more about it than him. Unfortunately there is not a member on the Board that was sitting on.~the Town Board when the jetty was constructed.--- Justice Suter stated that ~e wasn't on the Board but.he is aware of the plan--for the three additional jetties to the east, but after they put the first one in they never followed through with the other three so the plan was one-four comPleted. He feels they should get the whole plan back and see what they can do. In Sunday's paper they covered the whole north shore from Throgs Neck right out to Orient Point and every area has the same problem just more or less depending on the geography of the area.---Mr. Markel spoke about the boat ramp at Kenney's Beach and it is of no use right now, If the side of that was filled in with rock it would start to help again, because when that boat ramp went it really caused erosion all along that side and ripped out a whole sea wall from'Lockman down to his house. 310 ' JUL I 0 1 79 That.proposal would not cost very much at all.---Mr. Stanton stated he has used the boat ramp at Town Beach which is dirt and sand. The ramp at Kenney's Beach is unusable. The nearest ramp west of us is in Mattituck and is open only to residents of Mattituck. He feels it is a poor situation that the residents can't launch a boat into Long Island Sound in the Town Of Southold. He feels the one remedy we have is to correct the situation at Kenney's Beach.----Justice Suter stated there were plans for two, one in Mattituck at the Inlet at the Breakwater, but Captain Kidd's Civic Association opposed that. Then there was another one proposed by the County at Cl~rk's Beach and the neighbors in the neighborhood opposed that. If the Town could get County Money and use it at Kenney's Beach, it would be wOrth ~xploring.---Mr. Emil Pupecki, Peconic stated he has lived in this are for the last 55 years and he is very familiar with the beach as far as erosion is concerned and all he wanted to say is that any o~ these people that built their homes right on the beach have done nothing but invited trouble for themselves. On motion of Councilman pell, seconded by Justice Suter, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold retain the services of William B. Smith, Southold, New York as the Clerk of the Works for the Senior Citizen and Youth Center at a fee of $10.00 per hour, not to exceed $1,000.~00 Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Pell, Councilman Drum, Councilman Homan, Justice Doyen, Justice Suter.

Martocchia, and WHEREAS, by his passing this Town Board has lost an esteemed and efficient presiding officer as Supervisor of the Town of $outhold, and the members of this Board have been deprived of his wise counsel and judgement, and the members of this Board have lost a faithful friend and associate, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that the Town Beard of the Town of Southold hereby gives formal expression of its loss in the death of Albert M.
