TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Town Board
FROM:
Laury L. Dowd, Town Attorney
DATE:
October 7, 1996
RE:
Property Management by Ferry District
The Town Board requested information regarding the management of the
Fishers Island property. This will attempt to summarize the current situation.
In 1954 the US government deeded the airport, and considerable land around it,
to the Town of Southold. The deed provided that the property was to be used for
airport purposes only, although land could be leased for other purposes if
approved by the FAA
In April, 1959, the Town Board adopted the attached resolution, which delegates
jurisdiction, control and supervision of the airport property to the Fishers Island
Ferry District. The Ferry District was empowered to operate the airfield, and to
rent out property not required for the airfield subject to Town Board approval.
Although the Metal Dump property was part of the US Government property, and
was in the Ferry District resolution, it continued to be supervised by Town
employees who operated the metal dump.
Phil Knauf supervises the Ferry District management efforts. The Town has
copies of Ferry District leases of the following properties:
. The Solid Waste District Transfer Station
. Airport Operation
. Building 383
. Building 240
.
.
.
Town Board
Page 2
October 7, 1996
The Town does not have copies of all the leases. Mr. Knauf said he will send
them.
Mr. Knauf indicates that the Ferry District has $10 million liabililty insurance on
behalf of public properties managed by the District. I checked with John Stype,
who says that he has asked for but not yet received copies of these policies. Mr.
Knauf promised to send them. Mr. Knauf says that he does not carry fire or
property insurance on some of the buildings. For example, he indicated that if
t'1e movie theater burned down, it could not be replaced and so there is no fire
insurance.
All the leases call for the tenants to carry insurance, but the District does not
insist on having current proof of insurance. John Stype has indicated a
willingness to take the time to do a thorough review of the properties and ensure
that they carry appropriate insurance.
Please let me know if you would like further information.
