radio link from Fishers Island to Groton, Connecticut. The problem is is that the
cost has increased from $282.27 per month to $1,307.29 per month. There has been
a proposal by the Fishers Island Utility Company for 911 calls to be forwarded to
Southold Town Police Headquarters, and the dispatcher would .then page the firemen

Memorandum from Planning Board Chairman Ward to Councilman Wickham, Chairman
of the Planning & Zoning Committee, setting the agenda for the May 25th Planning
& Zoning Committee to discuss the general question of whether past subdivisions
of land by deed in accordance with the zoning of the time may be recognized by
the Town without obtaining current Zoning Board or Planning Board approvals.
The Town Board agreed that this question should be addressed by Planning &
Zoning. Councilman Wickham sa.id he is generally dissatisfied with getting things
on the agenda of various standing committees. There should be a general policy,
or the rules relaxed whereby the Chairman will inform the Town Board rather than
require a majority vote to move forward. Councilman Penny said he feels the
chairman of a committee should come for the Town Board's blessing on any major
topic. Supervisor Harris said he thought there was an informal understanding on
this. The Board finally agreed that major topics to be taken up by standing
committees should be run by the Town Board for their interest. (18) The
question of a custodial worker replacement, placed on the agenda by Councilwoman
Hussie, will be discussed at a Personnel Committee meeting at 4:00 P.M., Tuesday,
May 25, 1993. (19) Request from the Board of Town Trustees for the Town
Board to approve $5,000.00 in funding which they shall use to survey existing
user-based groundwater regulations. This will be discussed further at the June
1st work session after the Town Attorney has had an opportunity to research the
proposal. .

Lessard to be paid for return travel expenses from Florida to testify at the Zahra
