This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR WlCKHAM: That completes the organizational part of this meeting, and I would like to express my appreciation to Judy Terry, who prepared all this docu- mentation. I don't know how an incoming Supervisor could possibly have prepared for all this in just two days, to have all of this on the agenda. What is before us now, the next order of business, is to establish the various working committees of the Town Board. Historically the Town Board has divided up the responsibilities, and designated' several standing committees. At the moment there are twelve standing committees of the Town Board, or have been twelve standing committees. The priviledge of nominating committees has traditionally been handled as a appointment to be made by the Supervisor. We have hadn't extensive discussion of this yet on the Board, and there will some further opportunity for discussion, and perhaps in fine tuning, but these are the appointments that I am offering this evening. I understand that most of the Board members are pleased with them, but there may be some additional work ahead. Whether, or not the Supervisor also has the privitedge of designating the charge to these committees is less clear, but I'm also going to outline some charges to the committees, where these new committees will be established where there's a major change in what currently exists. The first standing committee of the Town Board is that of the Police Committee, and we are statutory required to have a Police .Committee to deal with grievances, etc. under the Police contract, and I will be the Chair of that committee. We'll continue to have a Planning and Zoning Commitl~ee; and I assume it will function more or less as it has in the past, and ~oe Townsend has agreed to chair that committee. In place of the Legislative Committee of the past we are planning to have a Code Review Committee, and Ruth Oliva has kindly agreed to chair that one . In as much as it is a new name, we'll have to create that committee. That will take a special resolution. We can do it, and perhaps will do it, but before we do that, I'd like to read the charge to this committee to get a sense of the Board, whether they're comfortable with it, and would like to proceed with that resolution. The proposed charge for the Code Review Committee is to propose to the Board changes in the Town Code that would have one or more of these benefits, to save the Town money, to reduce or eliminate contradictory passages, to improve the prospects for full and fair enforcement, and to facilitate compliance on the part of Town residents. That would be the charge for a Code Review Committee, and this basically would take the place of what has been a Legislative Committee in the past. 76 JANUARY-: 4, 1994 COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Would it also take care of new legislation that's proposed? SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: It would, but it need not.' The thought was, that if there is _le.g~slation proposed in the area of planning and zoning, for example, it would come out of the Planning and Zoning Committee, and if there ~s legislation in other areas they could come directly to the Board, but it need not come through that Code Review Committee. My feeling Was, that to some extent that committee..although it has stream ined and assiste~l n certain ways, it has also impeded the movement ^~ .^~,.,.~n ~,, other areas so it's bas callv to streaml ne and revise the Town Code, ~'at~e~J~*~'~"~o"~e a mechanism by which legi'slation is put up to the full Board..s there an interest on the part of the Board in putting this I~0 a resolution to put together this committee? 56.-Moved by Supervisor Wickham, seconcied by Councilman Townsend, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby creates a new Town Board Standincj Committee, to be known as the Code Review Committee. The purpose of the Code Review Committee is to propose to the Town Board Changus in the Town Code that ~ould have one or more of these benefits: (a) Saye the Town money; (b) Reduce or eliminate contradictory passages; (c) Improve ithe propects for full and fair enforcement; (d) Facilitate compliance on the pa~t Of Town residents. 56.-V. ot~ of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Council,woman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, COuncilWoman' Hussie, Councilman Lizewski, Supervisor Wickham, This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: The next committee is not strictly speaking a standing committee of the Town Board, but it's been a very important one, that has been ably chaired by Councilwoman Hussie, and that's the Solid Waste Task Force, and she has kindly agreed to stay on in that capacity. The next one, the Finance Committee, has not been active in the last couple of years, so I will simply read the proposed cha~ge to the Finance Committee, which I would chair.. The charge 'is as follows, to review receipt and expenditure of funds on an ongo~ng~b'asis and to compare same with budget_ projections, to evaluate and, if feasible, help the Town implement a system of budgeting by department or cost-center, to consider and, if feasible, ,help the Town implement a capital budget, to review various Town policies in respect of, overtime worked, risk management, cash ~management and - investment policies, internal controls, debt management, including sh~rt and long term debt, and any other policies in regard to our financial controls in the Town, and finally to assist the Board, the Town Board, in evaluating the annual indepen- dent audit and the periodic New York State audit. This is the charge that I'm refining for the Finance Committee of the Town Board. Those are the only committees that i,m currently proposing for this Board. 57.-SUPERVISOR'S APPOINTMENTS TOWN BOARD STANDING COMMITTEESS - 1994 POLICE: Supervisor Wickham, Chairperson PLANNING & ZONING: Councilman Townsend, Chairperson CODE REVIEW: Councilwoman Oliva, Councilperson FINANCE: Supervisor Wickham, Chairperson SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Instead of having committess to do the work that has been done in the past, I would nominate liaisons, or people on the Board, who will take particular interest in a particular ~ssue, deal with them, and not necessarily form committees. Those liaisons for the particular area, that I'd like to propose are, of course, Fishers Island, Justice Louisa Evans, who I hope will be the liaison with anything that happens on Fishers Island. To deal with matters of youth in this town~_~ Joe Lizewski spoke about the need to move ahead, and not to just drop the ball in the area of youth, and Joe, I'm pleased that you'll be willing to take on that role. We have had an ongoing relationship with the North Fork Animal Welfare League, and the Dog Shelter. Alice Hussie has agreed to continue in that role. Have you not, Alice? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Right. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We have a Park, Beaches, and Recreation, which is at the moment unspoken for, and I think we're going to have to do a little more homework before we can address that one. We have a Personnel Committee, which has been ably handled in the past, and I'm asking Alice to take that on, herself, as a liaison, and call Upon. the rest of us, as need be to assist her in that area. The Scavenger Waste Treatment Plant in Greenport is a plant built by the Town of Southold, but managed by the Village of Greenport. It's the interaction of these two muncipalities that involve quite a bit of time, and effort, and Ruth Qliva has agreed to be our liai-son with the Scavenger, Waster Treatment Plant. (tape change) Business relation- ship, and to develop a strategy, and a means by which the town can mere closely, and have a stronger relationship with the business community here, and finally there are two additional liaisons, that we're looking for, that have yet to be designated. We'll have to have a little discussion at subsequent meetingst a liaison for the Human Services area, and one for the Performing Arts. Both of these are very important for the Town of Southoid, and when we have a chance to discuss them a little more fully, we',Il have additional appointments. We have, in addition to that, other areas that we'll be discussing in greater length, and I don't want to spend a lot of time on it today, but:. to sa)~ ,that ,there are three additional, probably ,commissions, or committees, that we Will be discussing, and I'll just mention them ,briefly, because we're not g;oing to actually-establish them at this time. One is a Commission on Taxes, how to deal with, the issue of taxes in this town, and to provide ,some restraint on the tendency for increased taxes. Another is a committee to evaluate the management in Town Hall, and the allocation of space, office space within this building, t doesn't take mOre ~han'two days on the job to see that the allocation of space iri this building is, a serious question, and one that has bearings on the interaction, interrelation Of the different departments here. Rather than the Super~'is0r try to take that of a committee to help full and fair ,input !into, so that we can evaluate space req[ and ~i,nte~action among departments~ Finally~, ,we have had in the past a G.~ ~s Committee, This i ]rea because there are so man~ who have inpu, t into the~, Resources area. It's~ very .Board ha; conce ~nning Board has concerns. The and we a 'Groundwater Resaurces Adviso, I'm going thought to this before coming to ' , and trying I will have some additional ,inform~ati.0n on !that ~n subsequent Consequently,~ we can do a res,o[u, tli0~ ~t th!s timel to abolish ittees, that have in past handled a lot of th:i,s work. I would like to move ,at thi~ time~ . COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'd like a discussion on the motion. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We'll have the motion, then we'll have some discussion on it. 58.-Moved by Supervisor Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby abolishes the followin~ Town Board Standin~ Committees: Dog Shelter, Disposal Area, Scavenger- Waste, Commerce & lnsustr¥, and Legislative, effective immediately. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Is there any kind of legal standing these committees have? Is there provision in Town law that we're not providing for now by eliminating these committees? I'd like to know if we're jeoparding anything. This is something the Town has done at it's, own discretion. There's no particular basis. TOWN CLERK TERRY: This has been done before. Some of these committees were created two and four years ago. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Right, but a committee, as such, has no standing legally? I mean, I'm concerned about a liaison versus.. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: There is a requirement for a Police Committee. Contractually, legally, we have to have that, and we do. The ones that are being abolished, 1 don't believe we have any legal requ,irements to maintain. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Okay. Is the entire Town Board still part of each committee? ~8~ JANUARY 4, 1994 SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: No. I would like to clarify my move about that, but it is just my personal view. COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: Is it just your view, or is it what it's going to be?~ SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I think it's not necessarily the way it's going to be. If the rest Of the Board feels otherwise, I'd like to change it. My view is, that we designate a Chairm~n. I would like each Chair to come up with a proposal' of Who her or she would like to serve on that committee. Other members of the Town Board are free to attend, but the committee would be comprised of the people that the Boarc ultimately agrees should be on that committee. COUNCILMAN LtZEWSKI: Let me ask you one other thing. Since you sort of decided that a committee, say a Zoning and Planning Committee, will bring forward to the Legislative Committee, not bring it to the Legislative Committeer but bring it right to the Town Board, that means that the Town Board won't have any idea until that,: basically Code change is being brought to us .about what it's about, since it's not going througl3 one of the committees. The main function of.this Board is to legislate, so basically we're just going to get hit with changes in Code by other committees, that we don't even know about until they get here~ SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: That is a potential danger, if ~he Board members don't participate in, or don't have any involvement or knowledge of what's going on. COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Can I just add? The way it used to be done, t hope we Can start this again, is that at every Work Session each Councilperson can make a report on the committees, that they serve on, and give a~ ,report to the rest of the Town Board members' to bring them up to date on What has transpi~red, if: they've had any meeting in that time, or if there's any proposed legislation, that will be coming to the Board, so they have the opportunity to 'discuss it, and you're going to have to go to the Town' Attorney anyway to draw up the Code changes, and have 'them brought to;.t,he Town Board for co.mplete discussion before anything is put out for public hearir~g. This is the way it was always done before. COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: I"m just concerned about participation by people on the Town E~oard going to the meetings. We have to know what's going on all the time. COUNCILWOMAN-OLIVA: Sure. Any Town Board member can always go to any meeting. It was-always that way. COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: Okay. I just want to make sure the participation is still.. I mean I came in here many a night, and went to other Town Board meetings of other committees just to keep abreast of things. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: You'd be most welcome. I~y thought was not to require each member of the Town Board to come to each meeting. Anyone is most welcome, COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: We'll be notified? SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: All would be notified. TOWN CLERK TERRY: It's the law. We must do that. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Any_thing else, Joe? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: So, basically, you just put one name on the committees. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: For those Chairmen to decide who they would like to serve on the committee. COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: And the liaison would be just one person, so let's review the committees we're keeping, Police, Zoning and Planning, Code Review, and Solid Waste Task Force. is that a committee now? SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Is not a standing committee, but it is a Task Force. We have a motion on the floor, we have a second, is there anymore discussion on it? 58.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, CouncilwOman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski, Supervisor Wickham. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. 59.-SUPERVISOR'S APPOINTMENTS: LIAISONS FISHERS ISLAND: Justice Evans YOUTH: Councilman Lizewski NFAWL/DOG SHELTER: Councilwoman Hussie PERSONNEL: Councilwoman Hussie SCAVENGER WASTE PLANT: Councilwoman Oliva BUSINESS: Councilman Townsend have it co~ this afternoon in the tc conducive to a in wa' .deal develor town, to take u SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: We have one more item of business that has come to us, that has basically come to the Board in a number of different ways over the last few weeks, in many ways going back six or more months ago. As the Town has seen the problem of increased density, and increased development in and around the Greenport area. There's been increasing expressions of concern about the impact that it's had on Greenport, 'and this came to a head in December, when a change of zone was granted to a parcel just north of the Village of Greenport, which will exacerbat many of us. have seen as a serious' problem there. The Stewardship Task Force o town has written to us indicating that they, and others in the Planning Department, or the Planning Board, have looked at this.with deep concern in view of the wish of the Task Force, the Planning Board, and many of us in the Town Board, to institute a program of Transfer of Development Rights, and in a effort to try to rationalize the development process throughout the town, and not certain areas. Consequently, the Town Board has reviewed that would commit the Town to reviewing various parcels are particularly sensitive, and which are particularly that could unduly affect the future of this town back the process for some period of time. There is a great in stepping back, and looking at the full range of .in the town; to rationalize it, to protect those parts of the vulnerable, and at risk. The resolution, that we're going would do that in a limited area. tt would do it in those areas, that have been zoned in the Hamlet Density mode, the Hamlet Density Zone. We're taking up that Hamle~ Density Zone at this time, because it is a particularly sensitive ~r~e.i: I~ isi!a 'zone, Which permits two, and even as many as four homes per acre with'!~he'p~-oViS:ion of l~ublic water, and Public sewerage, n that sense it is particularly sensitive, and it is particularl~ problematic given the provision of public water and public sewerage in this town. The motion on the table, which t'll read in just a moment, would commit the Town to reviewing those parcels, and their place in the comprehensive planning framework in this town at this time. 60.-Moved by Supervisor Wickham, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, WHEREAS, the Town of Southold finds that a considerable time has passed since the HD zoning witl~inthe Town of $outhold has been evaluated; and WHEREAS, during this time there have been considerable changes in the physical, social and regu atorY aspects of development within the Town; and WHEREAS, during this time the Town of Southold has revised its comprehensive plan as regards hamlet density of development throughout the Town; and WHEREA$,iduring this time limitations have arisen in the Village of Greenport's ability to provide water and sewer infrastructure to support hamlet density zoning in areas outlying the Village; and WHEREAS, the R-40 iparcel Shown on the attached Exhibit A was integrally related to the jem Commons HD zone which was granted on December '7, 1993, so that any comprehensive revie'w ~f that HD zone requires a review of that R-40 parcel as well; and WHEREAS! the Southold Town StewardShip Task Force has recommended the develop- ment and adoption of,Transfer of Development Rights and other related programs or techniques, which may have an impact on the character and location of future development within t'he Town of Southold; 8 0:~ ' ~ JANUARY 4, 1994 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby resolves to undertake the preparation of a comprehensive review of the vacant HD zones within the Town of Southold and the described R-40 parcel, and directs the staff to prepare a plan for conducting such review. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Is there any discussion on the part of the Board? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Why not the Planning staff? SUPERVISORWlCKHAM: I'm happy with that. COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: You may want to put other people on there. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Those are the people I would.. COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: The Task Force. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Is there any further discussion on the motion? (No reponse.) 60.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman HUssie, Councilman Lizewski, Supervisor Wickham. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you, Judy, and thank you Board. Are there any members of the Board that would have any comments at this time? COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I'm pleased to be here ~gain after a long hiatus, and I hope that I'm up 'to the challenge. As you can tell by a couple of things on the agenda, it's going to be a challenging couple of years, and I want to thank you all for allowing me to seat here. 'COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: I just want to say I'm thrilled to be back here. It's just an absolute joy~ better than sitting back down there, and I'm really looking forward to four really productive y.ears working with a Board, I think, that you're going to be very, very pleased with. Thank you. COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: I'd like to welcome the new Board members, and I'm looking forward tO working with them. I think that we have a good diverse group, and I think it will be very productive for Southold Town. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Alice? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I have nothing to say. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Alice is recuperating from a cold. Are there any comments from the audience tonight? MICHAEL CROTEAU: I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year to start with. My name is Michael Croteau. I'm coming here as two capacities. The first is as a resident of Southold, and the second is as a general partner of a partnership, the Bayview-$outh Harbor Partnership, which is being formed, and is in the process of purchasing Stepnoski farm for those of you who didn't know about this already. We're working with Peconic Land Trust'to preserve, what was going to beat one time, a zone change for a very dense subdivision . At any rate, we should be closing in February, at some point, and restoring the farmhouse, and trying to maintain that part of Southold as open space as much as we can. Secondly, I think that a number of issues that were talked ~about tonight have to do with the next thing I'm going to talk about. I want to use this forum as a means of publicizing something, that I don't feel is being publicized properly, and it's regarding the public meeting, that the Fire Department is having tonight, which I know a lot of people in Southold don't know about. This meeting is going disseminate information regarding a proposed substation, which happens to be on that same Stepnoski farm, on three acres that was divided beforetGeorge Stepnoski died. The Fire Department is looking to ask the Town to approve through a vote two $400,000.00 to build what they're calling a substation. Eight hundred thousand dollars sounds like a substantial substation to me, and I'r~ not sure that the Town Board has any jurisdiction over this, nor do I know if there's any means, as far as the publicity, and how these things are brought to the public within Southold, but what I'd like to do here is, to say that the thing has been very underpublicized. There is a meeting tonight, and there's vote next week. It's going to impact the taxpayers of Southold in the Southold Fire District, and I don't feet that it's necessary, even though the Fire Department does a wonderful job here. It is a volunteer organization. ! don't think we need two firehouses, the size of what we have down the road here, to not only payforand build,but~to maintain, and run over the process of how many years the rest of us live here. ! think, as you said, as far as the Tax Committee, it's time for some fiscal restraint. I think we're really pay!ng for a lot of things that have been done in the past few years, that ~weren't necessarily needed, or done properly, and that bonding is something that's going to put more burden on all of us down the road~ as we live here. I know it may not be the proper po nt to bring before the Town Board. I'm using it as a public forum, so th~:t'~h~ody that lives in Southold knows about it, and the vote is next Tuesday night. COUNCILWOMAN HUS$1E: That's for the Southold Fire District, though. It's not the whole town. MICHAEL CROTEAU: It's Southold Fire District. The resolution was initially voted on between the Commissioners on November 9th. They waited to publicize it two days before Christmas. The first public meeting is tonight and the next vote is the 11th. I, also, think that if this vote were done at a different time of year, there may be a lot more people, who are property owners, who are not prepared to pay the brunt of this $800,000.00 over the years, that could be present to vote on this. Thank you for your time. SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: ~Thank you. Are there any othe~r comments from the audience todaY? (No response.)'If not, I'd like to just exl~ress my appreciation. It's a pleasure to see people here. The quality of decisions of this Board, in my experience, !s alwa~/s been better when there's been a substantial number of people out here. I'm pleased to. see. it.A motion to adjourn from anybody?

Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, COuncilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski, Supervisor Wickham. This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
