Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva,

Supervisor Wickham.
This resolution was duly ADOPTED.
RECONVENED'AT 6:30 P.M.
SUPERVISOR WlCKHAM: The hearings are over. The resolutions, that we
have adopted are also complete. As far as the business before the Board,
that business is complete for today. This is an opportunity now for anyone
who would like to address the Board on any matter of their concern, not
specific to the hearing, or not specific to the resolutions that we had
before us. Mr. Capon?
GEORGE CAPON: George Capon, Greenport, but not living in the Village of
Greenport. I have three things I'd like to ask the Town Board. One is,
what are you going to do with the Police Department? I talked to one of our
local Southold Town Police Officers, and since the Town took over 'the
Village of Greenport, he told me that he had made over $12,000. in overtime
pay.:l think the Town is paying a lot of overtime to our Police Department,
which I think, we got to have them on there, and I got one other thing to
bring up on this here case. Number two was, I hear, I hope it's not true, !
hope it's not true that the Town is thinking about hiring two of the Village
Police Officers, one as a Detective, and one as a Sergeant. I've been
hearing for the last six months the Chief of Police in the Town of Southold
has said, that he needs Patrolmen. He don't need sergeants. He don't need
detectives. He needs patrolmen. He's been hollering for eight patrolmen for
'the ---past -- s[x. - months , way before the Town took over the Village of
Greenport. I think right now, that the Town should think about hiring six
or seven right off the bat, right now. If they have to go out, and float a
bond, or what they have to do. Co through the Civil Service test. You
know right now that Village, right now have got six or seven policeman,
well-qualified, to take over. If you go out, and hire three, down the road
you're going to say, well, we're going to need three more, four more.
These here policemen through the village, that might go out and get a job. I
know two of them, right now, have been over in Southampton looking for a
job. They took a couple of tests. I mean two are gone. The Town will have
to go then, and hire two more rookies out of the Police Academy, send them
to school. Who will pay for this? The people of Southold Town will pay for
it. Right: now, you've got six or seven, that have been laid off from the
Village of Oreenport. I think they can be hired. You'll have no schooling,
and they will be right in shape to right go on to duty call. ! guess that's
about it. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Maybe I could just very briefly respond, and say,
that tl~e Board is very cognizant, and I would say, deeply concerned about
the overtime implications of our Police Force. We are very much concerned
about it, and we're moving towards your final recommendation of hiring more
police officers. We've already set times to interview them, and we expect
.tO m0~ve_f~o~.w~rd, expeditiously with that. Regarding the rumor of hiring
detectives, and sergeants, and what not, there has been no movement in
that direction, that I'm aware of. There's a lot of rumors, a lot of talks
about it, but there's nothing, that I know of.
GEORGE CAPON: I went downstreet yesterday, and I heard it. I was down
the post office today,
'SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: I hear a lot of that, too.
GEORGE CAPON: Well, one police officer, I should say a police officer's
relation, said, well, my relation is going to be hired by Southold Town as
detective. I said, oh yeah? How did that come by? I mean, as I said,
rumors are floating around, and I think something should be put in the
paper about what is going on.
.SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Maybe the newspapers are listening to this. Is
there anyone else who would like to address the Town Board on any matter
of the~ interest this afternoon? (No response.} If not, I'll turn to the
Board, and if there are members of the Board who would like to make any
closing comments?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Yes. I'd like to say that the New York State
Department of State has awarded the Town two $25,000. grants, one for a
harbor management plan, and one for an erosion study plan. We are having
a meeting of this group, and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Committee
on February 2, which is a Thursday at 7:30, and I'm really interested in
asking anybody out there, that has any historical knowledge of the erosion,
that has taken place in front of their property, whether it be on the Sound,
or the Bay, We would muchly appreciate their information at this meeting.
So, if they could come February 2nd, it's a Thursd.a.y at 7~30, we would
really appreciate it. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Any other Board members wish to make any
comments? (No response.) If not, I'm open to a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilwoman Hussie, seconded by Councilman Townsend, it
was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 6:36
