(Deputy Supervisor, Demarest Stated that in connection'with th~ ver~
high cost of insurance, the.~Town will in th~ very near futur~o~/~
over some of the premiums they are paying expecially for things
other tha~ liability and try to determine whether perhaps thei~
costs _for collision and property damage are greater for the
insruance.than what is being benifited for it. If it~should be
so~.what even, the town will probably go into s~lf insurance in
those areas. Perhaps if a certain amount is put in a reserve fund -
over a period o~ years, and we do not have too many property' losses
there will be enough in that erserve fund to pay for one or two
police cars if it should be necessary.)

over all the service and are renting some equipment from LILCO and
we have replaced ~pproxima:tely 251. lights, and. he estimates our pay-
men~s :~o LILCO this year will be $46,000.00. On the one light, we have~.
replaced.our estimated savings are in' the area of $16,000.00 for this
year. In 9ther words, ~h~. we. a~re now ~aying is.costing us $39.60 per

Mrs. Merlon Wiggin read the following letter addressed ~to.'the_
Members of the Southold Town Board from Merlon E. Wiggin, President
of the North ~o,rk ~n~i~Onme~tat Coun~iL~.~IncJ: "We, as a~.'organization
are~b'e~o~ing~nc~easinql~ concerned abeu't the~p'ot~ntial effec~s~that
the construction of the Jamesport Nuclear power plants will have,on
our communities,' and~the.people who live in.them. We look to'~you~ as
our e,lected .represer~tives, to· take an int~rest~ as wel~i as approp~iate--~
action;' on behalf~of the~ welfare~of ~'~the residents of Southold,-To~n.--
The constructi~n~of the Jamesport plants cannot help but have an
effect on all of us. For two years Long Island~L±ghting Company
has been presenting testimony (their side) as to ~hy, the pla~ts- .~
shou!d ~e b~ilt. We think in fairnes~ the other side should be
heard. We-therefore~find it difficult to comprehend why,'~,when you

4. ELECTRIC RATE INCREASE - Lilco is presently asking for another
rate,increas~e~tthis~one to'~be~tS~7%)~whick,-they say is for the
~onstruction of the Sho~eham.plant. ~How much of a rate increase
do you think-they ~will~need for the constrUction of the two .Ja~mesport
plan%s? Wh~ should we~'pay ~o~'the~cohs~r~etio~ of plants that.a~-e~
not needed and are for ~the shipment of power elsewhere? .Even ~I~C~
is continually reducing ~their prejected~ future ~electrical demands.
We can also exp~ct~ further rat~ increases ~to pay for dec0mmi~sioning
and entombment costs aftero~thei~ thrity t~forty years .of lif~ex-~
pectancy is ended. These costs are now estimated at 45 to 100 million
dollars per unit. ~Jersey Central is alre~ady asking for rate in~c~eases
t,o cover ~his.--5. SHORE EROSION - We~know from the Levon expe~ieR~e
what damage long jettiesdo to ~our shore front property.~ The. LILCO
jetties are even longer and potentially can cause even more destruction.
--6. DEATHS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT - Dr. Jan Beyea, who ~ec~ived his
Ph.D in Experimental Nuclear Physics from Colukbia University, and
is now~ on the research staff~at Princeton,. says ~hat an accident at
Jamespor~ is~a real'possibility.~ Deaths within~ sixty days f~o~suCh
an accident would range.from 180 to'l~000~depending on climatic
con~ditions and if evacuatio~ was. within twenty-four hours~:,and ~
supportative treatment was available. Supportative.medical treatment
includes sterilization of al~ objects in the patients~ room,-laminar
air flow systems, large.doses of.anti-biotics, and transfusions,of -
whole-blood packed cells. ~Otherwise., the death'rate would_be.much
higher, And how Southold Town could be evacuated within twenty-four
hours in case of an accident at Jamesport2 ~We will be cut~off.i-~We3
of the North Fork Environmental Council are concerned about the
potential adverse'impact these plants will have on the'residents of
our town. We don't want to see their taxes ~ncreased unnecessarily,

13-~ Can-we agree and establish that the SoUthold~TQWn Dog Pouhd
was built wit~ Revenue Sharing Funds?~-Deputy ~SuPervlSor Demarest:-Yes.
"S~nce Southold Town refuses to allow the Village'of Greenport to
utilize~the 'Pound which was built-with Revenue Sharing F~nds,~what
does ~he Town plan to do about the Town Hall? Using logic, it ~wo~ld
appear~that the Town would, in order to ~be consistent, refuse the
people Of Greenport the use of the New Town Hall~ Since the Town
wants-to charge the Village for the use of'the dog pbund and its
attendant wardens, ~how does the Town plan to charge Greenporters for
use o~ the Town'Hall and i~s attendant employees? Will you have them
come in through a back entrance, perhaps through a turnstyle in which
they W0~ld have to'drop a. quarter or ~half-dollar in'order t~ gain
admittance '~to ~he 'Town Hall?--~We bel.ieve that we hav~ e~tablished
that (i) t:he-Town Hall and the Dog Pound were and are being built
~ith Revenue Sharing Funds which are for the ~nefit bf all of the
people of-South01d ToWn and -(2) that the people~ of the 'Village Of
GreenPor~ 'have 'for ygars- been paying-f'or a servi~e which 'they have
'not been receiving.'--~Deputy Supervisor D~marest: The Village
gets revenue sharing fun'ds, so actually the revenue sharing funds
are 1for the Town' of ~outhold, we-are spending town money 'for 'the
Town Hall~
"'In conelu'sion,'we have'~n March '21st"~ -checked with the Office of
the-New York stat~ Comptroller regardin'g ~the propriety of ~he Town
of' South'o~d refusing to-'extend do9 control service to the Village of
Greenport~and~r~fusing the~ the use of~the'Pound. ~We can, if you
wish, provide you~i~h a~-complet~,trans'cript of'the entire' cbnversation.
However,-the~ following-are the pertinent pa~ts~: "'If' ih '(the service)
is-~rais~d~w±thin' the'A Fund, then it should be provided-on a' Town wide
basiswhichsh0utd-include~-the Vil'la~e. These people-have paid for
that service.' ....... Unless'they'have~the cost of the Pound prO¥ided
somep~aOe els~,"''(and-y0u'-don't) "then--the cost'of that i~ 'included
in this~dog c0ntrol~item and therefore'it would seem that'the Village
would-~be~able~'to' utilize-that Pound." "'If'you are a'lre~dy payihg
for it-in-your general tax levy, ~then you shouldn't have to pay for
it again~'through'contract." At the-conclusion of our conversation
~Idi~rect-ed ~the-following question: "As afr as you know from~all the
exper,ience~ you~'ve~had.; any~h-ing that's paid under the A or Full

The answer was" "Definitely, Right." In light of all of the above,

Tejo S~ating that they were no~ 6h~man of the Pound, there is
no one designated on the Board as chairman of the Pound, they are
all respons.ible for i~.--~Mrs. 'Te~o conti~ued:-Me~mbers of ~the Board:
in the Suffolk· . Times you had. an article ~ppear quo~ed kY Mr.
Ma~CCh~'; T6~w~uper~isor, "The Animal League has been running
al! ov~ ~thls ~Pou~d~and' that ~s why.~hey have been made ~ step'
out. ~:~h~e~ ~aV~ ~'st~rb~d "the work, they have diStur~ ~he' pepp'le

ie~gu~ ha~'~srupted the Work of the two dog wardens who in turn
have/~alled on'the league many times for help, After Mr. ~Martocchia
a~k~d US out our~ President of our organiZation up.to, several weeks
ago° g0~'n~merous d.alls fro~ the do.g wardens to~com'e back and place
the~dogs, to send our League members to redeem them. Is this a joke
or something to put the blame back on the League again?---Deputy
Supervisor Demarest stated that_originally when the League was told
there would be only ~imes when they could co~ in~o the 'Pound Was~
because'~he dog.wardens didn't know who their bosses were, they were
confused and ~e thinks that is where some of our difficulties started.
---Mrs. ~Tejo stated that in June of 1975 Mr. Martocchia came to One
of the-League meetings and he stated that the pound W°uld be opened,
and slated he had three veterinarians consultants to the Town, Dr.
Zite~, Dr2 Cottral, and D~. waitz. He also stated to their members ~
that he wanted full cooperation from the League. He also stated that
the League could hold some cats there, it is in their minutes. Now,
a year later the Pound was opened and no one knew about it, Mrs. Tejo
knew'because the dog warden called her house and asked her to come to
t~e pound to p~ace animals. On the basis of Dr. Zitek, consultant to
the P0und.fhey were asked to step out. She came ~o Mr. Martocchia and
~ried to tell h~r reasons, but he wouldn't listen. Know she would like
t~ Bo~d to give her the courte.sy of listening to what she says. She
has saved the town a lot of money, and .for that she has been abused,
insulted and she. thinks it has been discrimination. After Dr. Zitek
gave the adgice to keep. them out of the Pound, she approaqhed Dr.
Zitek on a professi6nal basis. She spoke to him as a women of
knowledge of medicine; she asked on what recommendation did he
advise Mr.. Martocchia to keep her out of the Pound. Is it because
6~ her finding of distemPer in the Pound? She apprpached Supervisor
Mart0cchia and his answer was that he would take ca~m of it. She
approached Dr~ Zitek on the filth and the way the Pound was being
kept. Dr. Zitek said he knew about it., the distemper will happen
again, he was never told the Pound was officially opened ahd he did
npt ~npw anything ak~ut it. She was amazed and was surp~ia~d and
she still has not l~et up and will continue the investigation. There
are ma~y discrepancies on the report o~ the consultant ~o the ~Pound.
Mrs. Tej0 stated that for 28 years she has been in the medical
profession, her husband is a reputable pathologist. She has worked
form Belvue to Mt. Sinai. She was assistan~ director for tens years
at the New York Pathological Labs. In all this time this is the first
time she has come to a small town to live and a consultant,~a
veterinar, ian of medicine does not have the courtesy differently than
what'a. Town Supervisor would tell her. he Was supposed to get back
to her for quite a while regardihg an autopsy .done on a dog that was
killed in Greenport Village. Miss Du.nn contacted her, she gave her
the' origina~ report of the autopsy and she ~as it there, it is ~and
written~ It is not an accurate report. Mrs. Tejo wants the a~ticles
to stop about the League. She did her service very well, and if Mr.
Martocchia did not like ~it he could have called her privately and
told her so. She would like to know why she is being attacked. She
thinks she deserves some answers from ~he Board, and if not,. the
report she ~as been making for the past month, she shal.1 give to the
District Attorney.'-~--Deputy Supervisor Demarest ~equested that she
write a letter.with the questions she has. in.it. He also feels Mr.
Mart°cchia should be there to answer, because in most cases she
referredto_what he said.---Mrs. Tejo further stated that the Pound

Mrs. ~l~dYSl:Csajko, President of the North Fork Animal Welfare
League~ Inc! read the following letter addressed to the "Southold
ToWn Boa~di South~raet, Greenport, New York. Gentlemen:
At the Ma~ch 8th meeting-of the Southold Town Board, copies
of a 12 page repOrt prepared by the North Fork Animal Welfare
League; Inc! ~ere handed to all Board members present. :A letter
reques-ting an:explainati0n of the report was also read and presented
to-:the Town Clerk. The letter was a joint communique from the ~eague,
the North FOrk Taxpayers Assn., and the Council of Allied Association.
In the March 10th issue of the Suffolk Times, the following
appeare~ as part-of the story. "Supervisor Mar't6cchia said he hadn't
had a:~hance to read the 12 page document but that the League women
were mad'.that~they were notallowed in the Pound.
"They were-all over the place," he said, when the pound first opened
last springi "We'll accept advice, but'we can't let;them run it~ We
do eVerYthing Dr. Zitek.....asks us ~o do."'-
- B~fore.~we go any-~further,~ we thi~ ~W~ things-should 'be
clarified. L. The ~League '~as a great ~many male-members in-cludi~g
males on the Board of Directors. 2. There was never any question as
to whether we co~l~ be ~llowed in the Pound. The Pound is public
property and there is no way we can be kept out if we wiSh to enter.
Let~us get to the more important part-though.-~The Supervisor
s~tes '(an~ has,~ated many~t~me~before£'i~clu~ing~at-Town Board
meetings~)'~'-that the Town wo~ld accept advi~eJ The ~eague has"~anY
tim~'S:~ttemp%ed Go o~fer~advice;- ~11 ~offers~haVe~een-:~re~ected
wit~O~ b~ing hea~rdr promised conferences have never~materi&tized.
Further, the League has never even indicated;-that it wanted
~to-ru~..th~ Pound:. It couldn't even if it wanted to since a Town
can only contract with a society for the preve'ntion of cruelety
to animals f~r ~this service ~nd our League ,is-specifically
charte~e~-o~ly as-a 'huma'~'e soci~ty~
· -. ~We do~not wish-to go ~ver'ground'-atre~ady covered unnecessarily,
but for~the record, it wa-~ made abundantly'-clear ~to the ~eagu~ :that
our preg~nce was-not wa-nted in the Pound last August.- At that time,
the ~e~gde ~began to -investigate Certain ~discrepancies inthe records
of the Pound. We--wrote-to tbeTpwn Clerk in ~ugust and ag~i~ in'
November asking that these dispcrepancies be cleared up. ~ It is our
understahding that both of these ~etters were-brought to-the attention
of the~Board. ;-We have' y~t to receive even an-acknowledgement of our
· ~etters. ·
: ~ For:-b-his reason, we embarked on-t~e study-which-uroduced the
12 page report wHich-was handed to the BOard the the last meeting.
We are attaching to' this letter a follow-up report fOr the first-
two mona-he of 197~ which 'we urge the Board memt~s to read'.
We ~have 3 questions which we sha~l ask the Board to respond
to whe~ ~e-have-finished~tbi~' statement.- -The 'questions are~
1. - How many -of -~he' ~oard~ members · have read th~ ~report? ~ ' ......
2. May. we-'have~' .the reaction- of- each ~indi~vidual mem~e r~ of the
Board-to~th~ repo~rt?~ '_
3. What aCtion does theI Board plan to take in regard to-this report?
Gentlemen, we are not~ea~l~i~g ~ith ~nuts--a~ boltS.*~ We~are ....
dealing wit~ living creature~- .... IT~t~e~' s~arp-'drop---i~-adoptions ~and~
the horrifying increase in destruction of dogs since the League was
invited out of the Pound does not bother you, perhaps some simple
dollars and cents figures will.
Prior to the opening of the Pound,. veterinarian bills for the
period beginning January of 1976 .throuqh.~arch amounted to $6~0. ,o~
approximately $216. pe~month~ Aith6ugh the Pound was newer'
officially pronounced open, the League discovered in AphiS'that it~
was in fact in operation. Although we did not really begin working
hard for~the animals until May, in order that no one.accuse of
stacki~q figures in our fa~o~,~we~.shall consider the time that~the
League Was'in~oived in the Pound as the period_be~inning~April 1st
an~ ggiDg~through Auqust i3th. During that time, ~the~veterinarian ~
bills tota~_i$825.25 or~$183, per ~0n~h~ ~owever, that figu~e~iS~.'
misleading sinc~e th~reis~a minimum of ,$384~ worth of unneeessary.~'
veterinarian expenditures during that .time.~ A tr~er figure~for.these
4½ months should be $441.25 which is roughly $100. per month. 'During
this time, the League also found homes for 21 dogs producing a sayiggs
for the Town.of up to $420. which it would have incurred if these
animals had had to be ~d~str0Yed. From mid-August through th~?~nd Of
December, veterinarian ~ills amounted to $1,050 or $233 per month.
More hah,half of ~that money.was spent to destroy dogs.
Finally, since we have been, denied the opportunitY to ~f~r -
any ad~vce to..the .Townprivately, we would like to offer the following
suggestions Publicatly in order to give some inidcation of the kind of
~a~i~e we would have like to of~ier:
1.'~A committee ,should be named to. oversee the operations of the
Pound.~ This committee should be.~charge~ with the task of keeping
a'close, check of_ all conditions relative to the operation of a~ood ~ '
facility. They sould make sure tha~t all records are kept correctly
and~up.t°, date. The current management of the Pound is very,~bad.
If such a~committee is~unaccePtable, we would suggest that the~P0un~
be placed under the authority of the Poli~ ~p~partme~t. This~has
been done successfully elsewhere. This.also has the advantage of
removing the operation of the POund at'ieast~one step away from
politics.
2. A set of ~ules-sho~td ~e ~rawn.up '.f6r the dog wardens so tha~~
there i~ no doubt in their minds, as to their duties.-,whht they, ~
can and,~qannot do. They s~uld be obligated to be well versed.in
t~ Sta~e Agricultural an.d-Markets Law ~elative.to their positions.
The current dog wardens were never~properly instructed or. tra,ined in
their duties. The ward ~ens should also be properly trained in~order~
to spot~ potentially serious medical problems by .learning wha~ symptoms
to watch for in,animals.
3. A sign ~houl,d. be place.in a pr0minen~ place ~n. Rte. ~5 and ~nother
on Rte. 27 giving directions so..that people can f~nd the Pound.
4. Except in an emergency, the Pound ~hould be open at,the times
advertised. Visiting hours have only._been maintained sporadic~!ly.
5. A~tape answering mervice should be attached to the Pound telephone.
We r~eceive complaints constantly~that the wardens c~nnot be reached
telephone. The t~pe could carry a message stating that in case~of an
emergency, the Police Department shouldbe called. For nonWemergenQy
calls, ,the callers should be instructed to leave their name and
phone number.
6.. ~eomp~ete~ description of ~.ll~-dogs in the Pound should b~
inserted in both the local newspapers each week. An attempt should
be made to also procure local spots on the radio as often as pg~sible.
7. The dog wardens must be instructed to keep Proper records. There
is no excuse for such poor records as hawe been turned in since the
wardens are not dealing wi~h all that many animals
8. The wardens should be instructed to bring every dog in.for
distemper shots. This was done quite regularly after_ the Pound
reopened, but the pr~ctic~.has become ~quite~it and miss !ately ~ ~
with more dogs not receiving these shots than those receiving them.
9. When poss,ib~e, and if room permits, highly ad0ptable dogs
particularly puppies - should be kept over the time limit. This is
standard procedure in,evere decently run,dog pound. Note also that
by holding a dog a little longer thereby enabling it to be adopted
out, the Town, will sa~e ~the $20.~ destruction ,cost.
10. No dog sh~utd be released f~om the Pound unless the owner in
the presehce of the warden plac~-i~ arouhd the neck of that dog a
collar to which is attached a license.
11. The wardens should be instructed to spend their~spa~e time -
of wh~ich they ha'Ye plenty - in 'going ihto various sections of the
T~ ~n~'~g~ing ~'r~om h0~use to ho~se ~hecking whether ~he~e is a dog
in residence there. The Town of Southampton instituted this practice
and last year alone~the wardens found and caused to b~.'licens.ed ~ver
2,000 dogs. Licensing makes identification of a dog much s~mpler,
would be very helpful ~n enforcing %he leash law and would lower the
possibility of someone's pet being killed unavoidably because of
non-identifiCation.
These are just some of the very many suggestions ~he League
would'like to make. We believe the time has long passed when a
conference between the League and the Town Board should have'been
hel~. However, we 9gain 0ffi~ially request that such a conference
be shced~led and ask for at least~a tentative date for such conference.
(Attached to'this letter was a two. page report, covering wardehs
report,~'~SP0si~i~n, of dogs., Town Clerk's report, and Veterinarian
report, ~rom January 3, 1977 through February 23, 1977.)
Mrs. Csa~o asked how many of the Board members did read the report.--
Each b6ard member indicated they had rea~ it.--Mrs. Csajko asked for
their reactions.~--Deputy Supervisor Demarest stated he is not happy
with the~situatfon. He can see there is a need for better record
keeping. It was discussed~ this morning and they will try to inst~e
a system whereby they Will keep a log of their activities and also
any dog they pick up will immediately be recorded on a shee~ and the
sheet will follow the dog all the way through his stay in the dog
wardens hand~. He does not feel any.thing~Was done illegally. ~ S~me
dogs might ha~e been kept longer than required, but they were probably
looking for a home fo~ a puppy'~or likeable dog. It has not operated
the way they'wanted it to, but they wil~'make'an effort to get it
starightened~out. Perhaps they relied 'to much on the fact ~thay were
quali~ied by civil service, and perhaps they shouldn't have gone to
Brookhaven for training.---Mrs. Csa~ko asked if they had found out
anything at all where the missing dogs went?---Supervisor,Deputy
Demarest said the wardens p~obably gave them away. If they had
taken them to Dr. Zitek his records would show that.---Mrs~ Csajko
asked if they are going to really study the suggestions?--They feel
they are logical auggestions, and would they be taken into consider-
ation?-~Deputy Supervisor Demarest said they would.---Mrs. Csajko
stated they don't like to see remarks in the paper about the League,
they don't want the hassel to continue. She indicated that there
are six board members and it only takes four to make a decision to
change something.---Deputy Supervisor Demarest stated they are not
going to tell any one board member how they are going to do something.
They will study the situation and if the pound has not been run
properly it will be corrected. They are the first to admit they are
not happy with the way it has been run and will make a serious effort
to straighten it out. However, with an operation like that the time
people can come in to observe the dogs must be limited.---Mrs. Csajko
stated that in 1975 the League offered to staff the pound so it would
be opened to the public and give the wardens more time on the road.
Mrs. Csajko asked that the Board concern themselves, not to let some-
body else decide what they are thinking.
