Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 Re: Amendment to Special Act providing for the establishment of the Fishers Island Ferry District (Chapter 699 of the Laws of 1947) Dear Honorable Weprin: The Fishers Island Ferry District is presently engaged in developing plans and seeking permits to expand and improve the District's New London, Connecticut terminal facility. These improvements will require bonding in excess of that currently allowed by the act which created Fishers Island Ferry District (i.e., Laws of New York, 1947, Chapter 699, as amended). The Board of Commissioners of the Fishers Island Ferry District now wishes to amend the act for the purpose of increasing the debt: limitation of the District and for the additional purposes of updating other sections. I have drafted a proposed Bill which increases the debt limitation of the district from nine hundred fifty thousand dollars ($950,000.00) to five million dollars ($5,000,000.00). The proposed Bill also contains amendments to Sections 6 and 7 which relate to the maintenance and administration of the petty cash fund and the meeting schedule and compensation of the commissioners respectively. A copy of this proposed legislation is enclosed herewith and a copy of same is also being sent to Assemblyman Joseph Sawicki. On behalf of the Commissioners of the Fishers Island Ferry District and the Town Board of the Town of Southold, I hereby request that such legislation be introduced in the 1993 Session of the New York State Legislature.

The People of the State of New York represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. Chapter six hundred ninety-nine of the laws of nineteen hundred forty-seven, relating to authorizing the creation of Fishers Island ferry district in the town of Southold, Suffolk county and providing for the election of its officers and management of its affairs is hereby amended as follows: Section 4. The cost of acquisition, construction and equipment of the ferry, including lands and rights or easements in lands, shall be paid from taxes levied for the fiscal year in which such expenditure is made; from surplus funds, or from the proceeds of town obligations to be issued and sold in the manner provided by the local finance law. The town board of the town of Southold may borrow the amount needed for such purposes and issue town obligations therefor in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding five hundred thousand dollars. Upon adoption of a resolution by the town board, subject to a permissive referendum by the owners of taxable real property situate within the ferry district as shown by the latest completed assessment roll of the town, such aggregate principal amount which the town board may borrow and for which obligations may be issued may be increased to any amount up to but not exceeding the sum of [nine hundred fifty thousand] five million dollars. Section 6. All moneys received from ferriage charges shall be deposited daily in banks or trust companies in the state of New York and the state of Connecticut to be designated by the supervisor of the town of Southold and to the credit of such supervisor. The supervisor shall execute and file with the town clerk additional security for the safekeeping and lawful application of such moneys in such amount and with such sureties as the town board shall approve. The expenses incurred in connection with any such undertaking shall be a charge against the district. The ferry commissioners shall on or before the tenth day of each month, file with the town clerk of the town a report of I rY their activities during the preceding month in such detail as the town board shall require. Each such report shall contain a statement showing the amount of ferriage charges collected and all obligations of the district unpaid at the time of filing the report. All claims against the district shall be audited [monthly] by the town board and paid by the supervisor from moneys remaining to his credit and belonging to the ferry district. Out of such moneys the town board may establish a revolving petty cash fund for the use of the board of commissioners. Such fund shall be in such amount as the town board may deem necessary but shall not at any time exceed the sum of fifteen hundred dollars and shall continue in existence from year to year until abolished. Such petty cash fund shall be placed in an account in the name of the commission and shall be under the control of the manager and expenditures therefrom shall be made only for payment in advance of audit of properly itemized and certified or verified bills for materials, supplies and services other than employment.

BURNHAM U April 16, 1993 A copy of your letter to Supervisor Harris under dale of April 4, 1993 has been forwarded to the Ferry District for comment and reply. The request to amend the Act creating the Fishers Island Ferry District sent to you, and to Representative Sawicki, by the Town of Southold on behalf of the Ferry District does represent a substantial increase in the District's bonding limitation. The decision to request an increase in the District's bonding ].imitation is based upon the need to expand and upgrade a thoroughly inadequate and unsafe terminal in New London, CT. In addition, the increase will permit the District to construct replacement vessels as deemed necessary by the Board of Commissioners and the taxpayers of Fishers Island. In the past, timely construction of replacement vessels has been difficult to impossible due to financial limitations. As noted in section 4 of the Ferry District Act, checks and balances on any major capital expenditures in the form of permissive referenda are available to the electors of the District. The impact on ferry fees if the bonds were actually sold would be minimal. Although we anticipate petitioning the Interstate Commerce Commission for an increase in tariffs in the near future, it should be noted that there has not been a major increase in our tariffs since the spring of 1980. Additionally, the tax levy imposed by the District which was at a high of $162,553.50 in 1980 was reduced to $129,292.50 by 1983 and has varied between that amount and $150,000.00 in the ten year period since. It is anticipated that bond repayment schedules would be addressed in the percen,:.age of the budget attributable to the tax levy. Speaking as a Commissioner, the fees currently allowc;d per meeting do not approach the value of the "services" rendered. The Commissioners' fees have not been raised since 1973. The fees are being brought into line with the time and effort spent at each meeting, The removal of the Cap On Commissioners' fees was suggested without regF,rd to the possibility of abuse. The Ferry District Commissioners M Senator Kenneth P. LaValle - 4/16/93 page 2 recognize the obvious need for a reasonable cap and regret that it was not included with the original request to amend the act. In reference to proposed fees on ferry passengers entering various municipalities in the State of Connecticut, the Board of Commissioners feels that Fishers Island residents, more so than other ferry passengers, should not be subjected to these lees because of their obvious economic con ributicn to the local Connecticut economy. The Ferry District has retained the firm of Tobin, Levin, Carberry & O'Malley, P.C. to represent the District in opposition to such a proposed tax. The firm is keeping the District informed of any action pending in the Connecticut State Legislature in order that it may be opposed in the early going and hopefully laid to rest. This same tax was proposed by the City of New London some years ago and died in committee as it had no merit. The District is seeking to insure a similar fate for the current proposal.

The requested increase in the district's bonding authority is quite substantial. I would request that you forward financial data that would outline the improvements sought to be constructed and the financial impact on the residents of the district. Also, I would ask that you specifically address the impact on ferry fees and the method and yearly cost of amortizing these bonds. The proposed legislation also seeks to double the fees of the commissioners and remove the existing cap of $500 per year. I would submit that although the fee increase may be warranted, a reasonable increase to the cap would better serve the residents of the district. I would ask that you comment on the need for the increase and your position on an increased cap. My understanding is that the proposed improvements will be done at the New London terminal. Although unrelated, I am quite disturbed about the City of Bridgeport's latest action with the Port Jefferson Ferry. I would caution that before improvements are done, the issue of fees imposed by Connecticut should be determined. I look forward to receipt of this requested information so that we can discuss the proposed legislation. cc: Hon.
