This resolution was duly adopted. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: This amendment to this Code is to allow a Building Plans Examiner to sign off on a building permit. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: We have about ten minutes before our public hearings are scheduled, so in the meantime a few of us felt maybe some explanations. On #617, an intern Heather Piscatelli to do time in the Human Resource Center associated with doing work for her Master's Degree. This helps her out, and helps us out at the same time. We are also passed a resolution to put the bond issue for development rights and open space acquisition. As John says he wishes it could be more, and I think we all probably do, but at this time it was felt that the $2,000,000 would be what we would need for the next year or so, along with what we get from our 2% money, and our investments from the State and Federal government. We just received this week from New York State in the amount of somewhere around $600,000 which was reinvestment on money we had put out to purchase development rights, and the State reinvested some that under their grant programs. So, this certainly helps with some of our money for that type of thing. We will open it up now for discussion on any matters. If anyone would like to address the Town Board. We will have to cut off at 7:30, because that 8/28/01 14 is the time of the public hearing. Once the public hearings are over we can then continue. So, anyone that wishes to address the Town Board at this time on any subject? Yes, sir? When you come up, please state your name for the record. VICTOR BROWN: ! am Victor Brown, 64 Sound Road near the 67 steps. This is regarding the proposed housing, the affordable housing development off Sunset Lane, which you are all familiar with. My comments regarding apartments in that development, accessory apartments in that development has already suggested to the Town Board on the meeting of 8/14, about two weeks ago, accessory apartments are really best and easiest used if they are in existing housing stock, rather than the affordable houses that ! think you are considering now. It would be better for everyone ! think in town if the affordable housing with accessory apartments could be considered as your affordable housing direction to balance out affordable housing throughout the rest of the town. Apartments could be encouraged legally in existing homes. The balance of the affordable usage would be better balanced throughout the rest of the town. It would be possible to additionally offer encourage to people to open up affordable accessory apartments over stores, and government buildings. Senior citizens could then benefit from having affordable apartments in their homes. One example of one idea might be that a senior citizen could rent his apartment, affordable apartment to younger people in his home, and offer them affordable rates in exchange for a little help around the house. This would be a good thing. So, ! would seriously request that the Town before that consider accessory apartments in affordable houses as a development is being prepared on Sunset Lane, seriously consider the use of existing housing stock, encouraging affordable apartments in existing housing stock, and above existing businesses, and possibility of government buildings on second floors, what have you. Thank you. ! appreciate it. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. COUNCILMAN MOORE: Can I make a comment, Jean? A point of information, we have an existing Accessory Apartment Law on the books. People may not know about it, and deals with existing dwellings. In 1984, there may be too many restrictions on it that makes it infeasible, or impalpable, or undoable, and that can be looking at, but it is out there as an existing law, and secondly, surprisingly we already have two story commercial structures in town. In many of these you will find apartments already over existing construction, and one of the neat things that is happening here in the New York State Building Code the State is slowly but surely going through a process of redoing the State Building Code, and according the State' website, ! looked there Monday to see what the purpose of this great exercise was, one of the new features of the new international code they are working on is to try and allow reuse of existing older buildings easier, because right now anyone that is going through the process of taking an older building and try to blend uses and mix commercial uses downstairs and residences upstairs runs into a buzz saw of regulations with the State Building Code, so a great desire you may have in the town the State Building Code doesn't allow it. So, a few things are happening in a couple of fronts, but ! appreciate your comments about adding to new ones or not. That is a good debate. VICTOR BROWN: ! looked at the Code Book the other day. ! made some copies of the Accessory Apartment section of it, and it went on, and on, and on. It was terrible, difficult to follow. ! think the bottom line on that is, ! think you all know this. There a lot of illegal apartments in town. People are afraid to fess up, because they are afraid their property would be reassessed, among other things, and there are a lot of other places where you could check out how it is being handled. ! mentioned the senior citizen approach. ! think we have more senior citizens in this area then we do have young people, but the places like Hyannis, or North Carolina, Hyannis, Mass., Nantucket, they have some pretty advanced ideas in using accessory apartments, and applying these to solve the problem of affordable housing needed for senior citizens and young people. So, ! suggest that you check a little further before you jump out on this. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. We have 34% of our population of seniors. Thirty-four percent, so you are not far wrong. ! have to adjourn for a public hearing. JAMES RAY: James Ray, Cutchogue. I may be in error, but about three weeks ago in Suffolk Life I read an article that said that Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer had acquired a grant of $150,000,000. That is the way it was written. It might have been a typo, and ! was wondering if anybody here was familiar with the article, and the detail said it was specifically for Suffolk County, and they were addressing, the two of them, physically addressing a group in Suffolk County, that ! don't know the group. ! have the article at home, and it mentioned how what the funds would be for. Accessory housing on to existing, therefore you wouldn't have change your zoning, you would have to do that. It is a lot of money $150,000,000 if the opportunity is here to latch on to some of that as part of a 8/28/01 15 solution if I am correct, and I will send you the article. I will be very happy to. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I have to break for a public hearing, and then we will come back. So, may I have a motion to adjourn for a public hearing? Moved by Councilman Moore, seconded by Councilman Moore, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 7:30 P.M. for the purpose of holding public hearing.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is there anyone that would like to address the Town Board on any given topic? We can pick up our conversation from before? Yes, sir? MAX DOEBLER: My name is Max Doebler. My wife and ! just moved here from North Carolina, 68835 North Road, Greenport. ! would like to discuss a little bit with you, and give my views on the downzoning that seems to be proposed, or will be proposed to the Zoning Code. We have two acre zoning right now, and evidently the affordable housing people, or whomever wants to develop the land wants to downzone it to a quarter an acre, if ! count it correctly. ! am dead set against it. ! think the zoning should stay as it is. ! paid $4,700 to the Community Preservation Fund when ! bought my home. The State of New York contributes to Community Preservation also ! understand. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: No. MAX DOEBLER: No, they don't? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: ! am sorry. ! am trying to figure out where your property is. MAX DOEBLER: ! have a map. ! would like to show you if you would like to see it. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: It is in Greenport, Sunset and Sutton Place. MAX DOEBLER: Right. The adjoining piece of property, which is 5.7 acres, and they want to take that and downzone it thereby do away with the open space. Also, the map shows you that area is quite congested as it is as far as density is concerned. Now, we have a community meeting of the folks that live around that area, and we are turning out to show our displeasure to anyone that wants to downzone that section of land. Thank you. TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: Sir, even the folks, there on that parcel of that application was recently returned for improper notification. It might be coming back. MAX DOEBLER: As a matter of fact, ! never received notification of it, and ! am the neighbor, so ! just think because really ! spoke to Ms. Neville at Town Hall, when ! found out about this, and ! certainly hope the Zoning Board, or the Town Board doesn't go along with downzoning that area. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: How long have you lived there, sir? COUNCILMAN MOORE: If it was a recent transfer the list for a notification comes from the Assessor Office if there is a recent deed transfer. MAX DOEBLER: No, as a matter of fact, a neighbor from across the street was good enough to inform me. On the notification she received it said that the former owner was on it. RICHARD HARAN: My name is Richard Haran, 235 Sunset Lane, Greenport, New York. Supervisor Cochran, Town Board members, ! am here to present to you the 67 steps community's petition regarding our concerns that refer to affordable housing development. That's it. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. VASSO PATRIKIS: My name is Vasso Patrikis and I am from Jamesport. Some of you may know me. You have probably have seen the letter that ! sent to the editors to all the local papers. ! just want to say a few words about Cablevision, Cablevision problem, because we all share the same channel, 70. ! also went to Southampton and spoke about Cablevision. All the three town, Southold, Riverhead, and Southampton must unit their forces in order to get a few channels which are vital before any town negotiate or sign any new franchise agreement. We should be able to view each other's Town Board meetings in their entirety, not like a soap opera, half one week, half the other. Preferred channel is the Span C 3, which shows State, County and Town government. Any outstanding contracts with Cablevision must have results. One of them is about senior citizen's discounts, and that is six years 8/28/01 17 rebate directly in their pocket. I repeat we need to stop the signing of any agreement before the election. It is very profitable for Cablevision not to give up these channels, and very convenient for the politicians who don't want them to be accountable to the public. We don't need to see our Board meetings on a channel that shows pornographic advertising. It is annoying. It is unethical, and it sends the wrong message to the viewers. To have three channels would be our right, channel exclusively for educational and governmental use. ! believe it is up to the three Supervisors and all the Board members to put their feet down so they can successfully accomplish this. ! know how you all, especially you, Supervisor, you are a people's person, and ! know that you will make every effort with your Board in this matter of Cablevision. ! think it would be great if, first of all, Channel 70 that we have it is a public access channel. Channel 71 shows bit and pieces, one week half of the Board meeting, the next week the other half, like a soap opera. It is a joke. Now upon signing the franchise agreement and getting the second channel, the educational and governmental channel, it is a freebee. We have to get it. It is good for our children to watch the schools who put their programs in to show them. You can inspire them, and you don't know how far they can go. ! think we should all fight. ! am a person that when ! start something ! am going to see that ! get it. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We haven't been entirely happy, and the Board took the opportunity to hire a firm that is an authority in the area of Cablevision. We have not signed a contract. Bill is the liaison. Bill has been working that law firm in Florida, as our Town Attorney, also. We have just received the draft from Bill if you would like to address this. COUNCILMAN MOORE: The document isn't out for public comment, but we hired a very specialized law firm. In the old days Cablevision handed a boiler plate form agreement to all the towns, and the town didn't know any better, and they signed the agreement, and they got their money, and that was that. Over time ! guess we have all gotten more sophisticated, and the money is greater stakes for them, and for the community as well, and so this Board decided to go out and hire a specialized law firm, that does nothing but telecommunications law, and they have presented to Cablevision a contract the likes of which Cablevision hadn't seen coming out of east end ever before, and the negotiations we can't discuss what we are battling over but some of issues, and many issues you have presented today are on the table, and being hammered out in these negotiations. VASSO PATRIKIS: One of the important ones is senior citizen rebate, six years back, six year back rebate. ! believe before you even hire somebody, lawyers, or anything, you have to read it through and make sure that you want, because the people in Florida they don't know. COUNCILMAN MOORE: They asked us what do we want? We asked them to tell us what we can ask for, because part of it was what are we allowed to ask for, and they opened our eyes to all kinds of things we can ask for. So, that is why ! said the contract that we have presented to Cablevision is something they haven't seen from the east end every before. So, we have made significant demands in our contract with them. VASSO PATRIKIS: That is good. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We are also working with Riverhead. VASSO PATRIKIS: I know but there are a lot of problems in Riverhead. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We are still working with them on the contract. VASSO PATRIKIS: Okay, I went and I spoke to Bob. I went to Vince, and I spoke to him, and I mean they don't understand that the second channel that we got, 71, is not the one we are supposed to get. That is the freebee that we are supposed to get on signing the contract to get the second channel, and Bob doesn't understand that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I am not going to state his position. I just want you to know that we are working on in relation to the contract. VASSO PATRIKIS: Okay. ! appreciate what you are doing, and as long as you have your support, and ! thank you very much. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? EUGENE DRUMM: As you know the piece of property that they are talking about developing for 8/28/01 18 affordable homes on the south end of Sunset Lane the Town owns a piece of property, which is being used as a drainage sump. These people who want to build this development want to do away with the sump, and place it with a road. Doing so you are going to take Town water and put it on private property. So ! want to look into this. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Gene, ! received a couple of letters on this situation. EUGENE DRUMM: I sent you a letter on that. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: And ! have sent them up to Jake, Ray Jacobs. Okay? Because he does the sumps in the roads, and the drains, and that sort of thing. EUGENE DRUMM: This isn't part of the road. This is the interior. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: ! realize that, but he can give me the history and the background. EUGENE DRUMM: ! have the history from 1952, when ! built my house with Harold Price when he first put it there. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: King's Highway. You are right. COUNCILMAN RICHTER: I used to play in that sump. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You were a river rat, huh? Who else would like to address the Town Board on any topic that is Town business? KERRY DRINKWATER: My name is Kerry Drinkwater. ! live on in Greenport in the same McCann development that we are talking about here. A few of the neighbors provided me recently. We understand there is a need for affordable housing. We sympathize with that. We just don't think it is appropriate that we start carving up little lots (tape change) There are going to 27 houses or something in there. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Rock Cove. KERRY DRINKWATER: Rock Cove. Right. ! understand that has been approved already. We are going to have to deal with Peconic Landing. We are probably the only neighborhood that is going to deal with the traffic from Peconic Landing because we are going to have to cross the road to get into Greenport. We don't really understand what the effect of that will be yet. You know people are going to live there, but there is going to be a lot of traffic going back and forth, so we kind of feel that it inappropriate that we be saddled with a tripling of the density, or doubling the density of the lot inside of our development before we even understand what the effects of what is going to happen when the other development is going to be done. There are also ten or fifteen more lots in there that has yet to be developed. As far as can follow from our meeting we don't oppose it being developed as it is according to Code already, according to the current zoning. That would be fine. Put five houses in there, or whatever, we understood that when we purchased our property. When ! bought my property ! checked with the zoning. ! found out they were going to develop behind me in that Rock Cove area. ! checked all around. ! knew what the zoning was going to be, and we kind of feel it is a betrayal of public trust to now rezone after we have bought our property. In a sense, you know, they will just shove more houses in there than it is supposed to support. Like ! said, we understand that affordable housing is necessary. Please don't think that this is a proper solution, and we are here to put our concerns before the Board before you get to the consideration process. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to address the Town Board? SAUL MILLMAN: Good evening. My name is Saul Millman. ! live on Tasker Lane in Greenport. My neighbor addressed the density issue. ! would like to address the traffic issue and safety. The intersection of Sound Road on to County Road 48, Main Street, at the blinker light, this intersection is the most dangerous intersections. We have to contend with the Orient ferry traffic in addition to the normal traffic, which is too dangerous to turn into. The 67 steps community is now densely populated, and the population is growing. We have 27 vacant lots, several of these sold for developing. The property next us will have to exit onto the North Road Approximately 23 lots have been approved. The Shady Lady restaurant will also exit onto Sound Road and the North Road at the blinker light. (unintelligible.) 8/28/01 19 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Sir, did you remember yet? JAMES RAY: I think it was $85,000 for each unit that they were prepared to pay, individual units that were already existing, but I am not sure, and I will send you the article. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Would you, please? Anyone else like to address the Town Board? EDWARD SCHILLER: Ed Schiller from Cutchogue. Could the Town Board give us an update on affordable housing projects now in progress? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: By you? EDWARD SCHILLER: No, could you give me an update as to the progress on the affordable housing projects that are now in progress, the one in Cutchogue, the Mattituck Factory Avenue, in Southold? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The only one that has made any movement in submitting requests, and zone change, and so on, and so forth is the one in Mattituck. EDWARD SCHILLER: The one in Cutchogue? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: He hasn't submitted anything. EDWARD SCHILLER: George Weiser? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: He has not submitted his paperwork for a zone change yet on that piece of property. EDWARD SCHILLER: What about the one in Cutchogue, John? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: None of them. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Everyone one of them that was originally proposed by the Affordable Housing Committee is still really in discussion stages. Nobody has come through with applications for zone change. The one up in Greenport that most folks hear about, as Greg said earlier, he put in an application for zone change, filed it all wrong, addressed it all wrong, notified the wrong people. It has now been pulled back off the table and it has to start all over again if he wants go forward with it. So, nobody has come through with any zone change application officially as of now. EDWARD SCHILLER: Could you give us a reassurance that this is going to follow the normal procedure of housing? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes. EDWARD SCHILLER: Because I think, Supervisor, you have used the word, fast track. I think I have heard it from more than you. I am just wondering, fast track to me is sort of railroading the issues through. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It is not a word I use. That is why it is alien to me, but if I said it I said it... EDWARD SCHILLER: Someone did. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The other one, the other housing and I will explain to you about that, the other housing project they are talking about on the Kron property behind the Catholic Church, 160 units, that has not really.., we are still under discussion. It hasn't gone anywhere. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: We should make clear on that one that doesn't require a zone change. That has already been done. That parcel of property is allowed 160 housing units. EDWARD SCHILLER: They want a lot of concessions, though. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Than particular project wants some tax incentives, but as far as the 8/28/01 20 zoning for that piece of land, as we sit here today no zone change is needed. Someone could come in there now and put 160 houses on that if they could get all the approvals, the Health Department, and water approvals. But, it is zoned for that many lots right now. EDWARD SCHILLER: Thank you very much. MELANIE NORDEN: My name is Melanie Norden, and I live at 1550 McCann Lane in Greenport. I have a couple of questions on some of the agenda items. When you referred to the SEQRA Review is that something that is in process for the proposed affordable housing? COUNCILMAN MOORE: No. There is a proposed Code change in the AHD District. MELANIE NORDEN: In Greenport? COUNCILMAN MOORE: In any Affordable Housing District in the Town of Southold. MELANIE NORDEN: Could you describe to us a little bit more about that review means? What is a SEQRA Review? TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: The SEQRA Review is the State Environmental Quality Review Act. It is something, which is triggered, the type of review, which is triggered when certain things happen, and when you are making changes to your Zoning Code, as the proposed changes to the AHD would be, that is a trigger. The whole purpose of the SEQRA Review is to bring environmental factors into the decision making process, and depending on the particular project. In this case it can be classified as one of three things, Type One, or Type Two unlisted action. It was classified as Environmental review. MELANIE NORDEN: I mean every (unintelligible.) TOWN ATTORNEY YAKABOSKI: In the Town Zoning Code there is a specific zoning district called the AHD. This proposed changes deal with that AHD. There are just some changes proposed to the AHD. MELANIE NORDEN: What changes are you referring to? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: I have a copy right here. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: I think what you are asking is this SEQRA Review is only for the technical Code change. MELANIE NORDEN: The Zoning Code change? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Not the Zoning. No. It allows something to happen within a particular zoning district, which is AHD. Now, the piece you are talking about here would have to come in for a zone change. Then there would be a whole different SEQRA Process. MELANIE NORDEN: I understand. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: This process has really nothing to do with that piece of property. MELANIE NORDEN: So, if you could give us some sort of timetable in terms of this proposal for affordable housing. For example, we have a citizen's group contacted the Department of Transportation, and also the DEC to request reviews from both parties regarding environmental impact of this open space, and also from a safety prospective, as Mr. Millman mentioned regarding traffic. We would like to have enough time for both of those State agencies to pursue on our concerns regarding fire, safety, and environment, and open space, but we really need time to do this. It would certainly be helpful to us if you can tell us the timetable, public hearings, and reviews. I understand earlier in the evening you mentioned having a public forum on the accessory apartments within two weeks, October 14th, six weeks from now. Is that the first step towards looking at this wider issue? Could you just give us in some way some way a timetable of what happens, what prevents what, and how do we proceed in this matter? That would help us in securing the kinds of information we need. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I am going to ask Bill to go through this with you. 8/2 8/01 21 COUNCILMAN MOORE: This is going to be really truncated, short. Lawyers, I am one, too, so I can tease Greg, we can get down to the nitty gritty details with everybody's head spinning. ! said before at the moment there are not applications even before the Board to change any zones on any of those three projects, so there is no time line that even starts the process. We are looking at Code changes, and we passed two Local Laws tonight, which changed yield signs to stop signs. ! gave you that as an example so you can understand the process. Okay? So, you understand the process. ! wasn't trying to equate these to you at all. You have a public hearing. It is noticed. An application for zone change comes in, and as you are aware you are supposed to get the proper notification of that. That is step one, that an application has been filed. Zone changes come to a Town Board. It has to sit there and decide what kind of Environmental Review it wants to go through, and typically we have, and Nelson, Pope and Voorhis is a firm that we use regularly for a variety of work in town to assess for us, and help us, what are the environmental impacts of project. Depending on what their review reveals they make recommendations to the Town Board, and they say, gee, this needs a Short Review, this needs a medium sized Review, or a full bloom Long Review. That information is important to the Town Board, and then sit there and make a decision on what kind of review is suitable given if it is near wetlands, is it dense, traffic, things people have talked about. Depending upon which of those three types of reviews the Board thinks it wants to go through the public has a chance to talk about the kinds of things that are ought come under review. It is called the scoping session. Depending on how much information is really deemed necessary, and ! would venture to say that more times than not more information is required in these reviews than less. MELANIE NORDEN: If it is a Short Review what are we talking about in terms of a timetable, two weeks, two months? COUNCILMAN MOORE: No, because the public hearing in reference to affordable housing, even the Code changes, that takes a thirty day review by itself, just to go up to Suffolk County Planning and to our own Planning Board, we have to give them thirty days to comment upon it. MELANIE NORDEN: So, thirty days from the filing of the application for the zone change? So, the shortest amount of time would be forty days? COUNCILMAN MOORE: If the stars lined up, and nobody said anything, and everybody stood up, and said this is the greatest project since sliced bread it couldn't happen in thirty days. MELANIE NORDEN: So, how soon could it happen? COUNCILMAN MOORE: Ninety days, maybe sixty days. MELANIE NORDEN: So, if the application is filed by the developer for affordable housing in Greenport, if it were to be filed tomorrow, and the proper notification, and ! also did not receive notification, and (unintelligible.) COUNCILMAN MOORE: Back in my earlier career ! did an affordable housing project here in town, and we went through years. MELANIE NORDEN: So, once the petition is filed to notify all property owners who are contiguous to this property, and then a public hearing is held, or the preliminary hearing is part of the public hearing. COUNCILMAN MOORE: No, before any vote is held on the decision to change that zone a public hearing is held. MELANIE NORDEN: Another question that ! did pertains to accessory apartments. Are guidelines currently set for those apartments? (unintelligible.) COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: It is a proposed addition of accessory apartments in the AHD zone. MELANIE NORDEN: ! mean in addition to the proposal do (unintelligible.) COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: Not only is the details worked out, but the size of the apartment is worked out. It is in here that it must be owner occupied. The owner must either live in the apartment or 8/28/01 22 live in the house. That is in here. The criteria of how much it is going to be rented for that won't be in there. MELANIE NORDEN: Basically this is completed enough for a public hearing? Is that what you are saying? COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: The proposal for accessory apartments is ready for a public hearing, yes. MELANIE NORDEN: With the criteria ! am (unintelligible.) qualify for accessory apartments, and so on. When will we be able to see the clarifications. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You can make an appointment and come in and see Jim McMahon who is our Community Development and he handles our affordable. It will be the same as the other affordable housing project we have done in town for the past. You have to live and work in Southold first. You have to live or work in Southold. You have to be able to qualify for a mortgage. ! mean there are lots of rules and regulations. They are all in the Affordable Housing Law. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? ZABBY: ! am Zabby, and ! am usually here for public access television, to talk about it, but today ! am here to support Jean, ! am here to support Jean Cochran for Supervisor. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Zabby, you can't do that. You don't bring politics into Town Hall. would appreciate it if you don't go there. ZABBY: Okay, then let me start again. ! am Zabby and ! do public access television, and ! wanted to say that today ! am here for woman. ! would make a statement tonight, because ! did speak to the Town of Southampton, and the Town of Riverhead about this. ! started abut two years ago, and in 1999, at the end of 1999 ! was asked to help the producer, Joe Lizewski, and Stan Rubinstein to help them. Stan's wife had something wrong with her ankle, and since ! was a volunteer at the studio of Cablevision they asked if ! could come and do the camera for four shows. ! said, sure, ! would do that. At that point ! am focusing on Joe Lizewski, and he starts sticking his tongue out, sticking his tongue .... SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We are not going to go there. Zabby, ! am sorry, ! am going to call you out of order, and ! have never had to do that. No, Zabby, please, don't say anymore than you have. Okay? We know you support Cablevision. We know you support public access. ZABBY: Can ! talk in a general way? In a general way ! want to say right now there men who would like to, in fact producers, who would like to take over the cablevision as a third party studio. We can not let that happen. We can not let that happen. ! am here to talk about that, because there are producers who would like (unintelligible.) SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We have Cablevision under control as far as the Town Board is concerned. ZABBY: There has been sexual harassment at the cablevision studio. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Zabby, that is where you have to go, and place your complaint. ZABBY: It is over. It is gone. They have cleaned it up, except we need a sexual harassment policy in cablevision. COUNCILMAN ROMANELLI: It is not our jurisdiction. ZABBY: We have to watch out for the producers. There was woman here in Southold that stopped going. Another woman stopped going. Woman are discouraged from going. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: You will have to bring this up with cablevision. It is their studio, and it is out of our jurisdiction. ! am going to ask you. ZABBY: Okay, ! am going to stop on that subject. ! would like you to possibly get together with the other two towns, if you would, like you wanted to from the very beginning. 8/28/01 23 SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: The East End Supervisors and Mayors, get all the mayors and all the villages, and all the towns together, so that we have a bigger club in negotiating. Many of your villages went ahead, and signed their own contracts. Then some of the towns did, and we picked up and working with Riverhead, but that is all at this point, but we are hopeful the next time around we can pull everybody together, but the Town Board will be making the decision. ZABBY: When will that be? COUNCILMAN MOORE: The negotiations are ongoing. ZABBY: ! would ask that you hold off on those and ! would like very much to give some input, because there is an excess that all of you, thanks to Jean Cochran, you have stood up for freedom of speech. Now, as you know the Town Board meetings are on the porn channel, 71, because we have scrabbles. That was 88. Now you are on 71, and you have scrabbled pornography pay for view, and it still scrabbles. What channel are you on? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: ! don't know at this point, because ! keep getting swapped around. Would you please put this in writing. ZABBY: Can ! just make another statement then? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thirty seconds. ZABBY: Jean, ! would like very much to help with some input into this negotiations, because we are developing a kit, an access kit in Southampton, and ! am helping the committee there, and we would like very much for you to. It has a special harassment policy in it. It will protect cablevision, as well as the producers, and assure freedom of speech, because right now Cablevision likes to censor political speech, and campaigns all the time, and this a violation of free speech. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Zabby, ! am going to close this out now. Anyone else like to address the Town Board? JOHN NICKLES, JR.: John Nickles, Jr. ! just want to ask a question. Has the Town Board figured out what exactly the demand is for affordable housing as far as numbers of people, and what the age groups are, that are looking for affordable housing? SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes, the committee went through that. They have the figures and they c sent a questionnaire to realtors, and we looked at what the needs were, and what requests they get for what kind of housing. JOHN NICKLES, JR.: What are the percentages as far as... SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: ! don't have it at my fingertips. Come in and see me. JOHN NICKLES, JR.: Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: ! need a motion to adjourn. Moved by Councilman Romanelli, seconded by Councilman Moore, it was RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 8:15 P.M. Vote of the Town Board: Aye: Councilman Richter, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Romanelli, Councilman Moore, Supervisor Cochran. This resolution was duly adopted. Elizabeth A.
