So we are going to start over in the bleachers. Jamie how about you starting, and we will across so we put a name and face together.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. I know it takes a few minutes but it is nice to know to put a name to a face. At this point I would like to introduce someone that is known to all of you. She serves as our State Assemblywoman. Whenever you need help or have a problem you just pick up the phone and call Patty, and she is there to give you support, tell you she can help, or she can't. Most of time it ' FI 8/9/00 2 is can. So, at this time, it is really an honor to be able to introduce our State Assemblywoman Pat Acampora. ASSEMBLYWOMAN ACAMPORA: Good afternoon everyone. It is so nice to always come and visit, and I thank the Supervisor for the invitation, and as I say, I like to be here representing myself in person rather than send a representative, because it affords me the opportunity to meet with people on mutual problems that we talked about, and the lobster one is certainly one we will continue to be dealing with, and I can promise you that as long as I have a breath in me you will have somebody who is fighting for your issues in Albany. I don't think any other community gets this kind of a wonderful opportunity to get to meet with people, who represent your interests in various State, County and Local agencies, so I implore you to take advantage of that today, bemuse you don't really get this opportunity. I know many of the people on the mainland they would die to have this kind of group gathered so they can really get some information, so I say after the meeting if there is someone out here that you would like to address particularly from our State agencies, who are pretty well represented here today, you should really do so. But, I said, I would be quick, and I will be, and certainly I will be here if anybody wants to come and speak to me anything, and of course you can always contact my office. I am always around. Thank you very much. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I am going to call Pat's attention to someth/ng that Bill Moore always calls attention to me. I always say, Fishers Island and the mainland. Well, we are not the mainland. We are an islandi too, so it is really from one island to another, and Bill always reminds me of this, so Pat, we are going to have to change our ways a little bit. Anyhow, at this point we do have a hearing scheduled this afternoon in relation to the Garbage and Refuse District, and it was scheduled for 1:40, so we are running late, but I have a few resolutions here that we will act on first, and then we will go into the public hearing.

FI 819100 3 -Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Richter, Councilman Murphy, Councilman' Moore, Justice Evans, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Number five, we will hold until after the hearing. At this time I need a resolution to recess for a public hearing. Moved by Councilman Moore; seconded by Justice Evans, it ~vas RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is recessed at 1:40 P.M. for the purpose of holding a public hearing. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Richter, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, SUpervisor Cochran. This resolution was ADOPTED. Meeting reconvened at 1:50 P.M. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Just out of curiosity are the Garbage District books audited by anybody?. Curiosity on my part being that we don't see the books of the Garbage District, are they audited, and is an audit supplied to the people of the district? MILDRED DICKERSON: It is audited every year, and a copy is sent to the Town. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: At this point I thought it might be nice, vie have some members here today of our Southold Town Landmark Preservation Committee, and it is a topic over on the other part of Southold in relation to old homes that are being torn down, and that should perhaps be preserved. It is part of your historic tourism, and it is important to a community. We do have a law on the books. It does not have a lot of teeth, but it is a voluntary thing, as many people feel it should be. Presently the little hamlet of Orient is looking at the certified local government. They are working towards that, and we told them to go give it a shot, come back to the Town Board, and they would be like a pilot program so we can see how it works, and if it would be accepted by the rest of the community. We will have a lot of discussion on this topic, because it is property rights. Some people feel that they have the right to do with their property that they want, but yet on the side there is the common good of the community. So, at this point I have asked John Greene who is Chairman of the Landmark Preservation Committee to just tell you a little bit about the program. John, are you here somewhere? JUSTICE EVANS: I think he went on a tour, and he is not back. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: John is out looking at your old houses. Okay, we will leave him for a minute, and we will skip to Kevin McAllister. Kevin is Peeonic Bay Keeper, and he spoke to you last year, but he is involved in a new program, which is Creek Keeper, and he is just going to tell you a little bit about it, because you do have inland waterways here on the island. KEVIN MCALLISTER: Thank you, Jean. I am Kevin McAllister the Peconic Bay Keeper. I met some of you folks here last year. After the introductions I should remember all of your names. I want to thank the Town Board, in particularly Jean, for supporting my work for the last couple of years. On several initiatives the Town Board has really come through, so they do have a vision for protecting long-term health in the Peconics. My role in essence, I guess, is to kind of act as a citizen watchdog representing the communities in the east end, including Fishers Island with some of the environmental issues that perhaps would be impacting our waterways. I am one of 50 programs throughout the country that Robert Kennedy, Jr., started, the Waterkeeper Alliance, so we are based on different rivers and estuaries throughout our country, and again, the idea is to kind of give us citizen voice to some of your concerns. Obviously I guess there is a watchdog for some of the problems out here. It is very difficult as much as I try spending time on the water as well as interfacing with a lot of the communities. It is difficult to know everything that is going on, and I think to really protect our natural resources the citizens have to get involved, so one of the things I am trying to bring forth again is public participation through this Creek Keeper Program. If I may I would like to read the mission statement, which is pretty straightforward. Through grassroots invOlvement citizens will keep a watchful eye over their creeks, harbors, bays and beaches in their own backyards, and neighborhood to protect the quality of them. It is small incremental change, but overall if you start looking at the cumulative impacts it can be quite significant, particularly we start looking out in 20, 30, 40 years time. I would hope that everybody in this room probably has some special place that perhaps they noticed some change, and not always for the better. Again, I think really ifwe are going to be serious 'FI 8/9/00 about protecting our resources we have to get involved. Some of the elements of this creek keeper program is on water surveillance, and what I would ultimately like to do, I set a series of workshops on the twin forks. I have been in Sag Harbor, Quogue, Southold, and Riverhead, tomorrow on Shelter Island, and I actually want to reflect that Southold had the greatest turnout, approximately about 40 people at one of the Town meetings. That really says a lot, that people are interested. They are serious about getting involved, and protecting the resources. On water surveillance this is just probably simple things. If you spend time out there on your boat, your kayak, you like to walk the beach. We have to start training ourselves to identify some of the problems out there. Perhaps all of a sudden there is a boat that goes by, and you see a discharge that knocks us over, either from the bilge or the head. You know if a confined water body that can have a significant impact. Through efforts of the Peconic Estuary Programs, and others, Association Marine Industries, and myself we are trying to designate the entire Peconic Estuaries a No Discharge Zone, and I would encourage Fishers Island with my help and others would like to do the same here, because, again, if you really consider the impact of discharges in again a semi-isolated poorly flushed water body it can be significant. Some of the other items, I was called out to East Marion. Roughly a year ago there was some concern. A woman had thought she had seen the onset of Brown Tide, when in fact it was green algae bloom, but;the water color was completely pea green, and standing~on her property as well as the adjacent Properties you car}, clearly see that. Theyseemed to be freshly fertilized bright emerald green. There is again without the flushing we are loading nitrates into that water system, kicking [n the algae bloom. One th/ag I failed to mention, as much as this is an ider~tification process it is also education. I want people to get involved, so they themselves get educated about some of the subtle and not so subtle pressures.ou~ here, and over time almost act as ambassadors. YoU know you can educate your aeighbors, and .slowly over time we all mOve in the same direction. It is very important. Creek chamcterizatii~n mapping; this is kind of a missing gap, you kno~w, if we are going to go somewhere from a planning prospective, What is the base line? We need to know that, so through aerial photo interpretation you Iooking atan aefi~al photo, what is existing in that creek or that harbor.currently. You know, where are the d0eks, where are the dredge channels, where are bulldieads, tidal marsh fringe, etc., and over time we are able to better track the changes, again, the subtle, or not so subtle that perhaps would lead us to a certain event. You know, maybe all of a sudden there is a fish kill. Well, what caused the fish kill? We have a good handle on the pulse we will know probably what did cause that fish kill. First alert, and that is probably for more serious incidences, but again, over time things are happening out there, and vce have to reallybe able to idenfi~ them through our own visual observations, and then bring them to the attention of the property authorities. I deal with a lot of folks that really don't know where to reach out if they see something happen. You know whether it be State officials, deep sea officialS~ Town officials, Trustees, Baykeeper, Harbor Masters, for certain events there is appropriate individual that you need to contact that could act on it quickly when things are fresh, and perhaps again identify what the source is. Actual alert, and this is getting people involved with I guess government participation. You know, over time there may be something on Se horizon that we need to mobilize as a community to let your officials know why you are fUlly in support of it, perhaps a certain a initiative, or maybe had serious great concerns about it. 2'hey need to know that, and the only way to do it is to :really participate in government such as today. The last element, and this is to faze people in, but basic water quality monitoring, and there is term called, tributary, and that is water ctoudiness. That is a viable measurement of change over time. So over time I would like to equip people with water quality kits to do the basic fundamental monitoring, such as tribitity, you know with the changing colors. I mean that could be a natural event just from the change in the community out there, the microorganisms, or it might be a pollution incident. You know maybe there is a lot that was cleared, used to tree lines, all of sudden we had a clearing events, th_tee days of torrential rains, and the next thing you know all the silt is rtmning off that property are in suspension, and your water has been clouded for four or five days, and you will stressed in the environment. Again, I want to emphasize, and the time commitment is minimal. This is simPly knowing who to reach out for, being involved, knowing that I am out there, knowing that your Baykeeper is working for you, the citizens, and when things happen you hear something, something is on the horizon with, again, a particular project, or an event, you know the fight people to contact immediately. So, I ask you, I would be happy to come out here at a later time to kind of set up with a special chapter. I need John Thatcher and myself we collaborated on several different issues. He would be a great individual to lead this, but again, as a conuntmity get involved. That is the only way I think long term we are going to really have to define our own destiny, and protect our natural resources. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Kevin. Did John Greene come in? Okay, I would just like to share a couple of things with you one of which is the young lady that stood up earlier, Melissa Spire. Would you stand again, Melissa? I don't know if you have got what department she works for, but the Board has just created the Department of Land Preservation. Most of our committees are volunteers, · FI 8/9/00 5 and these people put a great deal of time into negotiating, looking at property, and we felt that it was tirac that wc had a uppon yst m for committee, $o, hcr our support system, a l arUacnt of one. We have a little over $2,000;000 from the 2%. In addition We still have some bond money, and so Cannuscio, that means you are selling more land than we are. Of course, the prices are higher, too, but our land is being sold at a slower rate. They are setting up $900,000 for a department. I look at Melissa, we have her, but we know how good you are. Melissa is a Planner, and we feel that it is important as we buy th/s property that there is a management plan developed, that there is an inventory that we go back every year to make sure if it is farmland development rights, that he hasn't been violated with buildings, and on, and on, and on. So, this is something that we work to, and we feel is going to help all o£us in the land preservation. JUSTICE EVANS: Jean, would you introduce Peter Burr, because he works on the committee for Fishers Island. Peter, would you just let everyone know that you are the one on Fishers Island that works with Land Preservation, so people here know that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Good. So go get him when you want to save a piece of land. Jim, I am going to ask you to update where we are with permits and so forth in relation to the Fitzgerald property. JIM MCMAHON: I just went out today. We already did the design work. Jamey and I have put together the application to the DEC. The only thing we were lacking were additional pictures, and Chris Edwards was nice enough to take me to the site, so I will have those off to the DEC tomorrow, and I am sure we are going to meet for a bid opening. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Good, we would like to get that moving. Hopefully it will get done for next summer season, before then. JIM MCMAHON: Actually the other one is renewing on condition of road drainage is funded in part by New York State DEC. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thanks, Jim. At this point I will take questions from audience. If there is anyone that has a burning question or even just a non-burning question, we would be very happy to try to answer it. Anyone like to share anything with the Town Board? BARRY RYAN: I am Barry Ryan, a landowner. A couple of years ago when this 2% transfer tax came in I understood that the Board was going to somehow earmark funds that were coming out of Fishers Island real transfers for reinvestment here in the purchase of open lands or as I understand the funds are now being used for the purchase of conservation easements, either on the west end of the island, which is totally public, or on the east end of the island. Is that commitment still outstanding? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I didn't know there was a commitment. JUSTICE EVANS: Jean has come to me recently, and said, please, bring properties to... SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anything you have. BARRY RYAN: It is hard to find properties on the west end. There aren't any available, but I know that there can be a separate escrow for something. I understood that the Board is going to effectively earmark funds so that Fishers Island would get back a fair share of what it has contributed. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You certainly will get a fair share back, and that is why we felt it was important to buy the Fitzgerald property because we hadn't really done anything for Fishers in that area. I don' think there was a formal agreement that certain funds would be set aside, or percentage. What I think is how we work it, it all goes into one pot, and the Village of Greenport is in much the same situation. When you find a piece of property, or you think there is something here that you feel is important, or an easement, you notify the committee. The committee will do everything. They will do the negotiating. They will just pick up from the recommendation of people here on the island. We are open to anything you might have. BARRY RYAN: You should trace where these come from, because they are related to some real estate transactions: FI 8/9/00 JUSTICE EVANS: Barry, not on the earmarking point, but on the property point if you know of anyone who wants to do a conservation easement, or what like to discuss with the town about selling a piece of property through these funds we would be happy. I know Peter has been working on it, and he is having a very difficult time coming up with pieces of property that people would like to see sold this way. BARRY RYAN: The easements on the east end could be... JUSTICE EVANS: That is a possible step. BARRY RYAN: That is good to hear. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: When we get into the area of easements, and some of this other kind of, instead of straightforward purchases, the Peconic Land Trust does work with us, so we try to give the landowner the best possible advantage tax-wise, and this is the way we are able to get many pieces, so we have a lot of tools to help you do that. Any other questions for the Town Board? I didn't introduce them when we started so we will introduce them now through their own presentation of anything they would like to share with Fishers Island. Brian, we will start with you. Brian Murphy, Councilman. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Ever since the beginning, since I have been on the Board I have been heavily involved with land preservation and the 2% tax. In fact, I came over and had a few minutes with a number of people in groups pushing for the passage of that tax. As far as I know at the time it was said that any parcels that were put in from the people of Fishers Island would be given consideration just as any other parcels, but there was not a commitment that whatever came off this island would come back to it. Certainly we will entertain any parcels on the island for preservation in whatever manner we can. So, it is my pleasure to be here today, and I always enjoy this trip, and thank you very much. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Brian. Councilman Bill Moore? COUNCILMAN MOORE: Nothing exciting. I enjoy the annual pilgrimage over here. My wife, Pat, has done some work over here, and she hoped to come today, but the flying weather wasn't suitable. I am happy to come over here more than once a year, so if there is ever an issue or a point that you want to take up on, and need a visit, give a holler, we have other means of transportation beyond just your kind Ferry District that brings us back and forth one time a year. It is a great place to visit. I thank you for your hospitality. Pick up a phone. We are happy to work together. We do consider, you part of the Town of Southold, just the way Mattituck is. It is just a little hard to get here, but it always great to come and visit, so thanks for having us. JUSTICE EVANS: I get to do this commute the opposite way all the time, so I know what it takes to get over there, but I think this Town Board is more than willing to come over here if there are issues that really need to be addressed on the island. I just want to thank everyone for coming, thank the school for letting us be here, our highway deparunent for helping set up all the chairs, Ruthanne, and all her other helpers for providing the lunch, making it a pretty carefree day for me. I thank you all for being here because it gives the Island residents, the property owners, a chance to put a face to a voice over the phone, and get some of their concerns addressed. So, thank you all for being here. This is Craig Richter the most recent member of our Town Board. COUNCILMAN RICHTER: This is my first trip to Fishers Island, and I have gotto tell you I was a little surprised. I want to say thank you to Nancy Hunt for the great tour you gave me. I was totally in awe of the beautiful views, the vistas, the open space that you have here. You have a gorgeous island. Like Bill said I would come back anytime you like: Any questions I would be more than happy to answer. Give me a call, or get in touch with me at Town Hall. It is an absolutely gorgeoUs island. It has been a great day. JUSTICE EVANS: I forgot to thank Ann Hunt, too, because she arranged a lot of rides for people who went on tours, and who would like to go other places. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I also would like to thank people, and Louisa kind of named them all off, but I am going to repeat it, and in addition SCudder Sinclair. We all had the opportunity for some..,I worked in a drug store fifty years ago, when I was first married, and we used to have this on the shelf, ' FI 8/9/00 7 and sell it over in Southold. So, it kind of brings back good memories. We would like to thank the school superintendent. Thank you for once again letting us use the building, and I woUld also like to thank the Ferry District. You will get us home safely I am sure, the highway for what they did, my office staff. Ruthanne has been running around all week, and I think Mel is here helping, and Pat is here helping, and John, our custodian, cooked the hamburgers, so we thank John, tOO. Also, a special thanks to Nancy. It is not easy trying to get cars, and get people into them, and finding out what they would like to see, especially if it is the first time they are here, because they really don't know where they want to go. Louisa, as always, thank you for preparing everything here on the island. We appreciate it. John Greene, I just got a note, he want be back for another fifteen, twenty minutes, so unfortunately we will not be hearing from him. I don't think I have anything else to report. Anyone on the BOard have anything else? I would like to introduce our Town Clerk Betty Neville. TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Hello everyone, I am Betty Neville your Town Clerk. I issue a lot of your licenses and permits, and things, and if anyone has any questions or anything, please, feel free to call me at anytime. I also have Oath of Office forms here. If anyone serves on a Town Committee, who hasn't signed or executed an Oath of Office, please, feel free to see me. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Greg Yakaboski, our Town Attorney, and Mary Wilson in the front row is our Assistant Town Attorney. Greg, would you like to say, hello? TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: Greg Yakaboski, Town Attomey, and just want to thank everybody for the last couple of years, who has given me a tour of the island. It is utterly, utterly gorgeous. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Also, Steve Jones swiped from somebody. Didn't you Steve? This is the jacket he picked with some of the Planning Board, Suffolk County Planning Board's supplies. It has got a telephone in the pocket. We don't know who it belongs to. Brian. That wasn't hard. The other thing you have to clear the ferry slip, I guess, over in Orient. Plum Island, we would like to thank them also, the new director. We would like to thank them for allowing the ferry to dock in their docking area, because then it saves going all the way up to Greenport. So, we would like to thank them, but we have to be back on the boat and leave at 2:45. Anything else, any topic, whatsoever? (Question from the audience about Landmark Preservation) Bring it forward. I know they are trying to update the SPLIA list, and review that, because there is a lot of things that were not put on it the first time around. I don't know if it was 100% completed. They tell me it wasn't. JUSTICE EVANS: We do have some members from Fishers Island on that committee. I think they are adjunct members. Actually Peter is on the Land Preservation Committee. SUPERVISOR COCIqlLadN: A motion to adjourn? Moved by Councilman Murphy, Seconded by Councilman Richter, it was Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Richter, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was ADOPTED. Southold Town Clerk
