I believe people here in the meeting hall have copies of the preliminary budget that we are
providing this public hearing about. The summary of it is in your papers and I will move on to
the last page of it in my file, which shows appropriations for 2008 to be going from $34,549,000
to $36,223,000 which is a 4.85% increase. The taxes to support that would go up 6% in absolute
terms and the tax rate would go up 4.99% in order to meet those needs. On the next page is
revenues. Revenues would go from $8,843,000 to $9,5something, an increase of 7.5% and the
appropriated fund balance would from $3.6 million to about $2.79 a reduction of about 9%. This
is a brief review of the statistics, the individual budgets are all in the department by department
showing. The previous actuals for 2006, the budget as amended for 2007. The Supervisor’s
tentative budget for ’08 which is the budget the Supervisor prepared, presented to the Town
Board and finally the preliminary budget which is the subject of this public hearing which is the
budget that the Town Board took from what the Supervisor’s tentative. We have a few revisions
and that is the budget that is in front of me today. I have a notice here that this has appeared as a
legal notice in the local newspaper and what else do we have? It has also appeared out on the
Town Clerk’s bulletin board and of course, copies have been available for some time in the

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and comment or ask any questions
regarding this budget? (No response) Okay. Take a number because I can’t have you all talking
at the same time. Let me ask you something, John. When did we decide to remove two stipends
for emergency management and the fleet managers?
Comptroller Cushman
TOWN COMPTROLLER CUSHMAN: Scott, what happened was that we decided to, when the
Board had met two weeks ago, they decided to take those stipends out and include them into the
base salaries of the…

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The fleet manager as well?
TOWN COMPTROLLER CUSHMAN: Yes.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. And the two stipends, can I, do I know which two from
emergency management?
TOWN COMPTROLLER CUSHMAN: You want names or do you want…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Positions are fine.
TOWN COMPTROLLER CUSHMAN: One is a technical coordinator and the other one is a
senior citizen site manager.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, thank you.
Councilman Wickham
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: While we are talking on this subject, could you outline to us,
John, what we have done with stipends across the board?
Comptroller Cushman
TOWN COMPTROLLER CUSHMAN: I am going to do this from memory. As I recall, the
Board decided that those that we could take out of the stipend category and include in the base
salary, we have done that. Others, we don’t have that ability, for collective bargaining purposes
we have left those as stipends. There had been no increases in those stipends for I think about
three years now. As a matter of policy, the Board decided stipends don’t receive percentage
increases on an annual basis and we have kept those flat.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Do the Board members have anything to bring up?
Councilman Edwards
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: I have something to bring up. I can give it in the form of a
resolution, which I think is the ultimate definition of it or I can describe it. Why don’t I just read
the resolution I drafted. And this addresses the salaries of elected officials, ‘Effective
immediately, all elected officials of Southold Town shall receive an annual salary increase equal
to the lesser of three (3 %) percent or the most recent trailing 12 month consumer price index for
urban consumers, which is known as the CPI-U. This increase shall be effective every year as of
January 1 and shall be reflected in the final version of the Town budget as adopted by the Town
Board. This resolution shall not apply to the salary of any elected public official whose salary on
the preliminary budget is proposed at a level, I should say a percentage level, higher than the
lesser of three (3 %) percent or the aforementioned CPI-U percentage.’ The purpose of this is to
take the politics out of the raises for elected officials which has led over the years to some very
Page 18

Minutes
Southold Town Board Board Meeting
strange event where elected officials didn’t vote raises and all of a sudden they were trailing
were they should be. It also affects, obviously, Trustees, the Highway Superintendent, the Town
Clerk. Anybody who is elected. So I would propose that as a way of dealing with elected
official salaries starting in 2008.
Town Attorney Finnegan
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: The salaries that are set for 2008, I am not sure if those are
the ones you are referring to but the Supervisor, the Town Board, the Town Clerk, the Highway
Superintendent, can’t be higher than what has been advertised for the preliminary budget. So…
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: Which is no increase, right?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Correct. I believe so. So you can’t, unless you did a local
law, which I believe you could do it one time by local law, you can’t…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: How do you make adjustments to this budget?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: You can’t make them for Supervisor, Town Board,
Highway Superintendent or Town Clerk.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But for other items?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Yes.
Councilman Wickham
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I would like to address other Board members, apart from Bill
who has been advocating something along these lines for sometime. If there is interest of other
Board members in pursuing this, I would propose that we consider it for a year from now. But I
would like to know if there is interest on the part of other Board members before taking it any
further.
Councilman Krupski
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I think there is interest and I think it was really awkward last year
when the Town Board got a raise and then somehow the Supervisor got kind of shorted on that
raise. It was kind of, awkward is the word, I think, to describe it and there should be a better
way mechanically of addressing this and not having it come down to the last minute and
everyone is kind of like…
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think actually Bill proposed a solution for that but just as a
clarification, the Board didn’t short me. I had actually budgeted for no increase for myself. I
think the Town Board is underpaid given the fact that these jobs are full-time, I don’t care what
anybody says. And I budgeted them according to all the other increases I gave throughout Town
Hall. I held back for myself because the predecessor to my position had raised the salary
substantially. It was the Town Board that insisted that I shouldn’t be held back and what we
agreed to was an actual dollar for dollar adjustment, so I got the same amount of dollar increase
Page 19
November 7, 2007
Minutes
Southold Town Board Board Meeting
that the Town Board did. But it wasn’t the Town Board trying to short me in any way, they
actually on the contrary tried to make sure that I had gotten a salary increase. I just didn’t want
people to think that the Board was somehow playing games with me last year. They weren’t.
They were trying to do the right thing.
Councilman Edwards
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: No, I certainly remember that you said that, Scott. My concern
was this, that for quite a few years before I was on the Town Board, Town Boards tended to take
no increase, which I view as sort of a theatrical device which unfortunately over time leads to
dramatic inequities. I think particularly with reference to the Supervisor’s position but I think it
applies to all elected officials. And as you know, I know longer have a dog in this hunt, so I can
speak freely; it is wrong for the Supervisor’s salary to be outranked by 25 or 30 other people in
town government. We ask people who are elected to office to essentially take four years out of
their life, presumably in the middle of their working career, to dedicate themselves to public
service with a very real possibility as we certainly know now, that they will not be kept in office.
And I think that elected officials salaries should reflect the increase in cost of living just like
everybody else, that is why you and I disagreed but I understood your position, I think you
understood mine.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Mmmhmm.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: But I felt that you pay the position, you don’t pay the person and
that is effectively do throughout town government except for these elected officials position. If
we were in a situation of financial crisis where we weren’t collecting property taxes, you know,
all sorts of terrible things were happening, then you would say, okay, we don’t give raises. We
are not in that situation, and I think it is wrong that the elected officials and that includes the
Town Board obviously as well as the Trustees and a whole lot of other people, shouldn’t get an
increase because what it does is it creates a gap which simply gets bigger by next year. Because
everything compounds. That is why I would have liked to have seen something happen this year
and I would like to set this principal in place for future years so that it takes some of the politics
out of something that the public is very sensitive to.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Generally I think, there is interest on Bill’s solution?
Councilman Ross
COUNCILMAN ROSS: Yeah. If you are looking for input, I would oppose a built in raise,
everybody’s income does not rise with the CPI, I can appreciate Councilman Edwards position
on it, I think he has given it thought but if the Board thinks salaries should go up every year; they
should vote on it every year. If it is awkward, I was on this Board, we raised the Supervisor’s
salary, we raised the Board’s salary. We raised salaries and I didn’t feel awkward about it and I
don’t think you should feel awkward about it if that is what you feel is the right thing to do. So, I
appreciate your position but I oppose a built in raise as such.
Councilman Wickham
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I think that this is not really a subject of this public hearing. This
public hearing is to act or to take testimony and ultimately to take an action based on the
Page 20
November 7, 2007
Minutes
Southold Town Board Board Meeting
preliminary budget. It is my understanding that we are not here to change the salaries of elected
officials who are listed, whose salaries I read out at the beginning of the public hearing. If we
are going to take it up, it seems to me that we ought to take it as a possible resolution or a policy
at a subsequent regular meeting of the Town Board.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I appreciate that, Tom. I think Bill thought he could make a
recommendation to this Board so that we can adjust the budget, since it is a budget hearing. And
I appreciate, obviously to discuss it further, we should put it into a work session but I don’t think
Bill understood that we couldn’t adjust the salaries and I appreciate his input.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: I did not.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And we need something to talk about.
Councilman Wickham
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Well, I can give one other thing to talk about and that is this
morning the Town Board, at its work session, took into account the loss of two resignations from
our Planning Department staff. Accordingly, we agreed as a Board to add an additional $40,000
to the Planning Board’s consultant’s line or rather contractual’s line, so that they can go outside
as needed to get support to cope with all of the applications before that Board. That, in addition
to that, we have also reassigned nine months of salary for senior planner from their department
into the contingencies budget of the 2008 budget. The first item that I mentioned, that additional
$40,000 would raise the total appropriations and would bring the total cost of the 2008 budget
such that the tax rate would rise just a little bit above 5 %.
Tom Skabry, Pres CSEA
TOM SKABRY: Tom Skabry, President of CSEA. With that thought, I heard rumblings about
that idea…
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: What idea?
MR. SKABRY: About the possibility of bringing consultants in to do planning work. I would
just like the Town Board to keep in mind that there might be problems with the contractual
requirements.
Gunther Geiss
GUNTHER GEISS: Gunther Geiss of Southold. I would just like clarification with regard to the
public safety budget, there is a line for police equipment of $186,000. Is that just cars or does
that include other than cars and how many cars have been budgeted?
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The total of eight cars. Five are budgeted for next years money, for
the next budget. However, with budget modifications for this year, tonight we will be passing a
resolution that will secure the funds to buy three. So that is the three he got earlier this year,
another three now plus six in the new year. That is the full compliment he was looking for.
Page 21

Minutes
Southold Town Board Board Meeting
Gunther Geiss
MR. GEISS: Okay, good. Because at present, you know, I was just going through this very
quickly, but 14 out of 28 cars have over 100,000 miles on them and it is important for public
safety and the safety of the officers that the cars be in the budget. I also noticed that in the
capital budget, there was $5,000,000 for a police department, so I assume that that means that
planning studies will begin next year on the question of what and where a new police facility and
court facility would be built?
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, we certainly have to do some scoping. I don’t know, speaking
for myself, I don’t know if this is the climate where I want to build new in, we have just
completed two capital projects. One is under way and one has been completed. I am not sure if
the Town could afford much more new construction at this current time but obviously that is the
one area of crisis because we are not even complying with state law regarding the holding areas,
so.
MR. GEISS: Right. Yeah. There is a real problem with the cells. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Anybody else want to comment?
Councilman Ross
COUNCILMAN ROSS: In between speakers I would just like to comment, I raised it during our
informal sessions. The Department of Public Works has put in their budget funds for
construction of a public bathroom on the recreation/athletic fields on Peconic Lane. I pointed out
that there already is a public bathroom there. There is a street in between the fields and I guess
there has been requests that there be a public bathroom on each side of Peconic Lane and that
was the thinking and I don’t have a problem with that, I think it is a good idea, it is just that we
have other athletic fields where there are no restrooms, no public bathrooms. Strawberry Fields
being one and it would seem as though you would build a public bathroom, at least one on each
field before you started putting two on any particular field. And I raised that, I am not going to
vote against the preliminary budget on that basis but I think it should be taken into account and I
would hope that Jim McMahon and the Department of Public Works would correct that next year
or sooner if possible.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to agree with Dan on that. There should be a distribution
of our assets, as limited as they are. A better distribution.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Does it specifically say the location of the public bathroom or can
that be used, that money budgeted money, be used at Strawberry Fields?
COUNCILMAN ROSS: I don’t think there was an indication where it was, in questioning and a
little cross examination, we determined that during the sessions.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: What he calls cross examination, friendly dialogue.

Kevin Webster
KEVIN WEBSTER: Kevin Webster from East Marion. On that note of Dan’s, I think that
putting a new bathroom there is a great idea in Peconic because when we are on the west side of
the road with a hockey games and the baseball games, you don’t want to be crossing over that
road to go to the bathroom on the other side, so it is a good idea. But I also think that we should
have one at Strawberry Fields at the same time.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We do. We need them in every location that Dan had mentioned
actually. But Strawberry Fields, I will certainly talk to Jim about the issues at Strawberry Fields
and what kind of money we would need to put into place to make it happen there.
MR. WEBSTER: Okay, thank you.

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Now is the time for you to come up and address the Town Board on
any issue of mutual interest.
Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue
BENJA SCHWARTZ: Good evening. I am Benja Schwartz. Speaking at Town Board meetings
like this is like eating potato chips. You eat one and it is hard to avoid eating another.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I thought you would eat one and you’d get sick.
MR. SCHWARTZ: I love potato chips. Last week I was contacted by a John Kent, who lives
next to what used to be the East Marion oyster factory. Since pollution of the bays has
decimated our oyster population, oyster factories in East Marion, Greenport and New Suffolk
have been out of business. If the oyster factory were to re-open in East Marion, that would not
be a problem for John Kent. The old factory is on the waters edge and John’s house is on the
landward side of the property. John was telling me that the proposal to develop the property
where the East Marion oyster factory used to be includes a motel with over 100 rooms, a
restaurant with around 200 seats plus a private restaurant annex with another 100 seats; a floating
dock protruding 500 feet out into the bay, entertainment facilities for outdoor concerts. Well, it
is not just going to fill the property, it is going to fill the neighborhood with music or whatever.
If this development is permitted, all of this and much more will be on 18 acres in East Marion.
Right next to John Kent’s house, that is where they are going to put an electric generator, a solid
waste or garbage transfer station and a high capacity sewage treatment plant. Do you
Councilman Edward’s, really believe that John Kent should have reviewed the zoning map
before he bought his house? And expected a sewage treatment plant to move in next door? With
all due respect, members of the Town Board should not expect individual members of the public
to review the zoning map for themselves. The zoning map means nothing by itself. It must be
read in connection with the zoning district designations and regulations, lot size and density
schedules and many, many supporting planning studies, reports quote-unquote master plans, etc.
The documents are voluminous. Even if an individual could access, read and comprehend all of
that, it still wouldn’t explain the zoning map. Zoning map is interpreted not only by the property
buyers and owners but by the Building department, the Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning
Board, Planning Department. You, the Town Board, as well as trial courts, appellate courts and

ultimately the courts of last resort. It is the responsibility of our Southold Town government to
plan for our community. That responsibility includes obligations to prepare plans, to present
those plans to the public and to implement those plans. Myself and others would like to assist
our government. It is our government and to work properly, you need our help. But when it is
hard to find out what government is doing, when efforts to get involved result in defensive
reactions, refusals to admit mistakes and failures to consider options, opinions which are
different from your own, our efforts are wasted. If we allow commercial developers to use our
town to make profits without properly planning for, discovering and regulating the impacts on
our town, our community will be destroyed. Thank you.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to come up and address the Town Board?
Linda Goldsmith, East Marion
LINDA GOLDSMITH: Good evening, my name is Linda Goldsmith. This is going to be East
Marion night, it looks like. I would like to present a petition to you, I hope you will accept it.
This is a petition signed by 350 residents in the hamlet of East Marion, this petition states in part
that the residents of East Marion are against the construction of a hamlet center in the defined
halo zone of our rural hamlet. These signatures represent about 325 households out of a total of
440 in our hamlet. Every household is not covered in this document but only 3 people of the 328
who were asked, refused to sign this petition. And I do want to say that Mr. Copertino got most
of these signatures. I can probably account for 10, I am not just as, I don’t know what the word
is, dedicated I think is the word. It was getting cold out and I don’t think I am quite as dedicated
as he is, although I fully support what he has done and I do want you to know that this is not, this
is not on behalf of the stakeholders. This is on behalf of the citizens of East Marion. So, may I
present it to you?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Absolutely.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Would you like to read out what the petition states?
MS. GOLDSMITH: Certainly. ‘We, the undersigned residents of East Marion are against the
construction of a hamlet center in the defined halo zone in our rural hamlet.’
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Period?
MS. GOLDSMITH: Period. That is it. And believe me, people did read it because it wasn’t
very long, wasn’t very complicated. So they did read it before they signed it.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Do we know what a hamlet center is?
MS. GOLDSMITH: The hamlet center, what I understand a hamlet center is, is the hamlet
center was to be created in East Marion, the back of East Marion fire department.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yeah, the issues are the hamlet center stakeholders initiatives and
that specific plan, which sort of came out of the original stakeholders recommendations, is

getting a little confusing here. That, the Kokkinos property I believe it is called?
MS. GOLDSMITH: Kortsolakis.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who was I thinking of? Well, at any rate, okay, that was one of the
concept designs that was being discussed initially but I think it is clear that there is no public
support for that concept in East Marion and these are planning initiatives and without public
support, there is no need to move forward on that. What I would recommend, I will certainly
take that petition tonight but also, stay in touch. I opened up the stakeholders process to the
public for this very reason, so we get a real sense of what the communities want and that
particular site, if the stakeholders want to say we think the Town should work to preserve it, than
that should be the goal that we pursue. That is why we are there.
th
MS. GOLDSMITH: I am sure you know that there is a stakeholder meeting on November 17 at
10:00 at the East Marion chapel and there is also a meeting, if any of you would like to attend
and listen to the citizens of East Marion this coming Saturday at 10:00 and it is being sponsored
by the Cleaves Point condominiums and the East Marion community association has been
invited and anyone that is interested in hearing what they have to say is invited to come. Oh, I
thth
am sorry, it is on the 10 at 11:00. Excuse me. It is on November 10 at 11:00. I am sorry.
th
Stakeholders is November 17 at 10:00. This Saturday is at the East Marion Fire Department.
And what Benja was talking about, I want to, if you don’t mind, letting me tell the audience; it
looks like, this is Oki-do as it is planned. It looks like an out of control Disneyland. It really
does. It looks like someone has planned a Disneyland and went berserk with the rides.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We have talked about it a lot of times.
MS. GOLDSMITH: We have.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There is a real difference between Oki-do and what we are, the
challenge we are facing in Cutchogue. The challenge in Cutchogue is, someone submitted a plan
based on the zoning as a matter of right under that zoning. And although they scaled it back,
clearly that is not enough for anyone’s satisfaction. Oki-do, on the other hand, is actually not
necessarily a right. It is the right to ask for it, it is a, that would require several variances. One
being that use, one being the size and the scope of that use and the other is the restaurant, which
is a separate hearing. So there is a lot of governmental jurisdictional review that has to be done
before they even get close to achieving that plan.
MS. GOLDSMITH: Some of even believe that it is not a transient motel; this is a resort. And it
actually would need a change of zoning. But that is something…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It is a very good possibility. I am not an attorney but certainly that,
it is one of those things that somebody lays a grand scheme on the table based on, you know, the
code and it is a question of going through a reasonable process of town government to make sure
it is not inconsistent with the community that is surrounding.

MS. GOLDSMITH: And to whom do I give this?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: To me. Okay. Thank you, Linda. Would anybody else like to come
up? Yes, Mr. Copertino.
John Copertino, East Marion
JOHN COPERTINO: John Copertino, East Marion. About this petition, an important fact
pertaining to this petition is that it truly reflects the desires of the residents of East Marion. The
original stakeholders that were appointed by Mr. Horton never went to the community to ask
them what they wanted. That was their idea and they presented it to the Planning Board and they
put together this elaborate plan but nobody asked the residents. So as I was accumulating the
names, I was explaining to each, anybody that was interested which they all were. In fact, they
sought me out to sign this. People are really up in arms about it. And they were adamant in that
they didn’t want anything built in East Marion, in the hamlet center. An important point is, if
they wanted that shopping areas or village malls or whatever, they would have went to Mattituck
and settled in Mattituck. They would have settled in Cutchogue. East Marion is East Marion.
There is nothing there. They want a status quo, they want to keep it as it is and that petition
reflects it. Again, it was not your appointees, it was an appointees…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, that, I think that was you know, the original stakeholders was
a well-intentioned effort. The only thing I did was put more of a public input component to it
and gave the second round of stakeholders the charge of saying, first open it up to anybody that
wants to be a stakeholder can submit their name and secondly, develop that community rapport,
so you are going in the direction the community wants. And that is all it is. But you know, look,
it is a point well-taken by me and I am sure the Board, there is support at this point for any type
of development or town involved development of that site behind the post office.
MR. COPERTINO: Right. And this backs them up by the people. The signature is sacred.
There is a few lawyers up here, so I don’t have to tell them what, you know, once you sign a
contract, the signature is what….isn’t that true? Or not? I don’t know. Maybe not. Alright.
Can I continue with another subject?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: By all means.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Wait, can I make a comment on this?
MR. COPERTINO: Sure.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: When the stakeholders first proposed doing something with that
property, they and we had the impression that the property was on the market. The owners of
that property have the right to develop that property. They may develop it and if your wish and
the wish of 325 people around East Marion that it not ever be developed, that may not be a wish
that is consistent with the owners of the property.
MR. COPERTINO: That is absolutely correct.
Page 65

Minutes
Southold Town Board Board Meeting
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: They have a right to do something with that property.
MR. COPERTINO: You are absolutely right. But it is the stakeholders that are directing what is
to be done to that property.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: They were not directing. They were trying to come up with a
proposal that the owners of the property could buy into and it would still be a benefit to the
village of East Marion. There were many review steps in which that proposal would be brought
to the attention of the people of East Marion. This was not something that they were trying to
put over on them. I agree with Scott, if there is no wish to go forward; definitely it is not going
to go forward but I don’t think the public should get the impression that this was a group of
people who were trying to put over on the people of East Marion.
MR. COPERTINO: I don’t think they, anything, they thought that people, that something was
being over on them. It is something that was never brought to them, to ask them what they
wanted.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But this, I am sorry, that was a sense of timing. I think it was their
intention to bring it to the community. We talked about it early on with the Peconic Land Trust
to come in to sort of shepherd that plan and we made it clear, Albert and myself and the rest of
the Board that at the end of the day, we had to make sure that is what the community of East
Marion wanted, because you would be talking about possibly an investment on the town’s part.
But I think the stakeholders meant well, I don’t, you know, I know some of them. Kevin
Webster I have known for years. They are good people and it was just an idea. Like I said, I
don’t think at this point there is any need to…
MR. COPERTINO: Right.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Well, we had a…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Fear it.
JUSTICE EVANS: What was proposed to do was that each hamlet stakeholders were told to
find a hamlet center. This is what they were pulled together…
MR. COPERTINO: Mmmhmm.
JUSTICE EVANS: To find a hamlet center and to make sure there is an affordable housing
component within that hamlet center, so that every hamlet was having a place maybe for
affordable housing and this was all what they thought what the best place was. It wasn’t like
they said, we want this but they were, that was part of their mission.
MR. COPERTINO: Well, my objection from the beginning was that they didn’t go to the public.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Well, there is going…

MR. COPERTINO: That was the only objection I had to it.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: There is going to be more stakeholder initiatives. We had that
discussion today at the work session on how, when the stakeholders come up with their
initiatives, some are going to be very small like a stop sign or a drainage or something. Some are
going to be large initiatives that aren’t going to be implemented maybe ever and it is up to the
town and we are kind of in flux here making up a committee that is going to deal with the
stakeholders, that is going to try to prioritize each of these initiatives throughout each hamlet…
MR. COPERTINO: Right. Sure.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: …so if people come up with ideas, it doesn’t necessarily mean
because it is on paper that it is ever going to happen. It is just that these are ideas that the
community has and then it has to go through the whole public scrutiny to see what kind of town
investment, what kind of private investment. You know, exactly how it is going to happen.
MR. COPERTINO: Well, this is how the people feel at this time. If they change their minds, we
will let you know. Anyway, can I move on or do you want to…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yeah, no, please.
th
MR. COPERTINO: Sunday is Veteran’s Day. The 10, a day that all Americans should give
thanks to the anybody that served at any time, who is a veteran in the services. As you know,
New York state has just passed a law that leaves each town the option to grant cold war veterans
real estate tax relief. I would like this Board to consider…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We talked about it today and in two weeks at the meeting in two
weeks, we are going to set the public hearing date for adoption of the cold war veterans
st
exemption. The first effective date would be for the March 1 taxable status date anyway but we
will set, in two weeks we will set a public hearing, that will have to be 30 days after that for the
adoption of that. So we have already started the legal process to adopt that.
MR. COPERTINO: Thank you. Just one thing to consider is that there are veterans that aren’t,
that are really cold war veterans that are getting that now. For instance, the Korean war, some of
you’se might have been around then. One or two. I know I was. Started in June of ’50 and
ended sometime….
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: June of ’53.
MR. COPERTINO: June of ’53? But veteran’s are getting the tax exemption up until January
st
31 of ’55.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right.
Page 67

MR. COPERTINO: So there are cold war veterans, technically cold war veterans are getting it.
And that is duplicated throughout the…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The way that conflicts are set up, the dates are set up like bookends
around each of the conflicts. World War II, Korea, Vietnam. Anybody since 1990, that has
served in the military, gets an exemption as they come out now because we have never ceased
hostilities from the Iraqi war of 1990. And all these other sandwich or bookend dates in the
middle, all this effectively does at this point is it says that anybody that served in the military
since World War II is entitled to exemptions. And that is appropriate…
MR. COPERTINO: Yeah. That is with this cold war…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yeah, it more or less declares everything post 1942 and that is
appropriate because veterans, you know, they get drafted at certain times. They, you know,
service is very similar so the exemption will be the same for everybody as soon as we adopt that
local law.
MR. COPERTINO: Yeah. What should be considered, if there is any argument at all, is that
the sacrifice that they all made. They were in the service; if battles broke out, they would have
gone into it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That is right.
MR. COPERTINO: And, what other point did I want to make on it? Oh, they had to sacrifice
their careers, especially up until 1973 when the draft ended. Nobody would hire you, no
corporation would hire you if you hadn’t served your military time. So you had to put your
career on hold to go into the military or enlist into the military, get drafted, before anybody
would consider any type of employment. So therefore, that was a sacrifice in itself.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right.
MR. COPERTINO: So thank you for considering that. One other plan that I sort of passed
through you guys, Mr. Beltz it was, consider sponsoring a program that would have our
experienced retired senior citizens educate the high school seniors and juniors, ones that are
going to go out into the world soon, on their job experiences; like they do on their career day but
to go further, to, if they are interested in, I was in avionics, aircraft electronics. I was in aircraft
maintenance etc. flight engineer, if they are interested in that, I could take them and discuss all of
the intricacies of the job. I could even go further and teach them aircraft electronics. You know,
systems and stuff. And somebody could teach them law, the basics of law or just to get them
interested and involved. There is no schooling here for these kids to go to that would direct them
into a category that they might be interested in. And we have so many senior citizens in this
town, very experienced professionals that might get interested in a program like that and might
elaborate on it and start holding classes. You know, in my category, my profession, all I would
need would be an overhead projector and a copying machine.

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would gladly go out and tell the youth, talk them out of politics as
a career.
MR. COPERTINO: Well, it doesn’t pay much but there are possibilities. But at least consider
that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Oh, absolutely.
MR. COPERTINO: You know, if we start a program, a lot of the senior citizens I am sure are
willing to share their wealth of information, you know, and see that these kids here who haven’t
really got the opportunities that other kids have on the island because of your schooling you
know, they are so far away. Your schools are so far away but just to direct them and spur them
on and give them some more information on a career. And we have enough and I am sure you
are going to have enough volunteers if it is presented to the seniors in a good way. That is all I
have. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, John.
Nancy Sawastynowicz, East Marion
NANCY SAWASTYNOWICZ: Good evening, I am Nancy Sawastynowicz from Cutchogue.
Supervisor Russell, Justice Evans, Councilman Wickham, Councilman Ross, Councilman
Edwards and Councilman Krupski. Don’t you know that Southold was a small town? A large
scale development does not fit in a small town. Already under construction are monster size
developments, like the cliff side resort condominiums opposite the San Simeon by the Sound
nursing home. That one got in under the radar. Already built are developments like Cleaves
Point in East Marion. Pheasant Run in Greenport, Colonial Village in Southold and there were a
lot more that I looked in the yellow pages and they are not listed, it just said call this real estate
office and I didn’t have time. I guess all these developments get the New York state
condominium property tax break. Doesn’t that mean that all of us who live here, does that mean
that all of us who live here but do not live in condominiums have to pay higher taxes? I also
have a question for the entire Town Board, including the lame ducks and the Board members
elect. I am not going to ask you to respond immediately but I do request that each one of you
answer my question. If we cannot re-zone to stop over size development proposed in our town
like the Heritage, why do we have a town government? Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board?
Roberta Lee
ROBERTA LEE: Supervisor Russell, members of the Town Board, good evening. When
discussion turned, my name is Roberta Lee, I live in Cutchogue. When discussion turns to the
proposed condominium development named the Heritage at Cutchogue, I would like to know
whose heritage it is, the hot question people ask is, how will it affect me? For myself personally,
I could only think of the visual horror and the traffic and everything else but other thoughts later
came to my mind. The Heritage at Cutchogue is not just one more super sized McMansion like
the gigantic pre-fab on New Suffolk Avenue which looks like it belongs in Brooklyn or Queens.
I left Brooklyn and Queens to come here, where nothing looks like that. But not on the north

fork, the Heritage at Cutchogue is almost 50 acres and 150 houses. In one slam, this commercial
development redefines the hamlet of Cutchogue and degrades the character of Southold Town.
There are many answers to ‘how will it affect us’. The answer most people consider important is
if you own property in Southold, your taxes will go up because of this development. And how
about the other developments? How have they affected our tax rate? Unlike other properties in
Southold Town, condominiums have their own bylaws. They call them bylaws. Does Southold
Town regulate those laws? That is not a rhetorical question.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Which laws? Bylaws are actually filed with the state Attorney
General and all of that is done under the auspices of the state Attorney General’s office.
MS. LEE: Through the developer.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I imagine he has to apply….
MS. LEE: So we have nothing to say about that? I think that stinks. Are condominiums
offering plans subject to any municipal review?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: This one? Substantially.
MS. LEE: Really?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. We have a pos dec on this that is probably as broad and as all
inclusive…
MS. LEE: You have a what dec?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: A positive declaration for SEQRA for environmental impact drafted
by the Planning Board that is probably as broad a positive declaration has ever been.
UNIDENTIFIED: Inaudible.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: She asked about the governmental review. The pos dec is
absolutely part and parcel.
MS. LEE: Municipal review.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Oh, on the offering. She asked about the, oh, okay.
MS. LEE: So what is the answer?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: To what? The offering?
MS. LEE: Are condominiums offering plans subject to any municipal review? That means us,
here, right? Sorry, I can’t hear you Ms. Evans.

JUSTICE EVANS: We are a little confused because you are talking about offering plan, which
they offer to the people they are expecting to buy the condominiums. Is that what you mean?
MS. LEE: No.
JUSTICE EVANS: Okay. Well, that is why we are confused.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: What do you mean?
MS. LEE: I mean, are condominiums, the developers offering plans subject to any municipal
review regarding the laws by which these condominiums are going to be governed?
JUSTICE EVANS: She wants to know if their plans….
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am sure the Planning Board would receive a copy of any covenants
and restrictions from any developer. They do in every community that gets filed through them.
And they will also have their own covenants and restrictions that I am sure they will impose on
the facility, presuming it gets built and presuming it gets built in the manner that he is applying
for.
COUNCILMAN ROSS: And while the bylaws of the condo may not be subject to municipal
review, there are rules such as if it is going to be a 55 and older that do come before the Planning
Board and that the Planning Board could and does require compliance in filing of covenants and
restrictions with regard to.
MS. LEE: How many condominium developments are already in Southold Town? How many?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Counting the Village of Greenport?
MS. LEE: Sure. That is Southold Town.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would say seven or eight.
MS. LEE: Seven or eight.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Not counting that whatever that thing is going to be on the North
Road. I have no idea what that is going to be.
MS. LEE: Thing is the word for it. Have Southold Town planners ever considered the impact of
so many condominium developments? How do all these condominiums affect our taxes? Do I,
okay I will make it a personal thing, okay? I bought my house 20 years ago, I paid about
$290,000 for it. I have taken care of my property, I have invested myself in this community. I
participated in governmental issues on different levels and in the schools. Why do I have to pay
money towards the taxes that these people who are buying as a condominium, they are paying
like 30% at the maximum 40% on the tax rate. I have to pay, they are buying houses for
Page 71

$400,000-$600,000. How many affordables are there? Maybe six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They
want to abuse the whole eco-system and we are supposed to support this with our tax money, our
taxes being raised in order to supply these people who do not participate in this community, do
not participate in the development of the Town, do not participate in interest in what goes on in
this Town in regard to schools, churches or anything else. Everybody is gone out of here as soon
as October comes around and they are in their McMansions someplace else. I resent having to
pay taxes that those people should be paying for themselves, especially when they despoil our
magnificent landscape. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. We have actually a public hearing set for the budget but
I do want to make sure that everybody that wants to be heard, gets heard because…
JUSTICE EVANS: We can start the hearing late.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Does anybody…
John Copertino
MR. COPERTINO: It is along the lines of jobs for the young. Almost everyday I pass this new
storage facility on the North Road in Cutchogue…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right.
MR. COPERTINO: And I look at that building, I have nothing against the owner of that
building, I just wonder how it got there. It is just so out of place. But every time I look at it, I
say, gee, this could be a high-tech industry site. If they were willing to allow this to be built, a
storage facility, I don’t know how well they are doing, I hope they do well but to me, I look at it
and I see it could be a high-tech facility. A medical, a computer facility, not necessarily
manufacturing; architectural firms with real tax relief, tax benefits given by the Town. Does the
Town consider, I am sure you consider that? I mean, that is a dumb question but something has
to be done to build the economy up for the young people in this town. You have a problem with
affordable, they can’t afford the houses because the salaries aren’t there. And can we bring some
type of high-tech professional, I keep using the word industry, well, I will use the word industry.
I don’t mean manufacturing, I don’t mean anything that will pollute the waters. Something
professional. Research labs with, and charging no tax; you have considered it, I am sure.
Would you like to….
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I think it is just whatever came into use that existing zoning, I
don’t know when that was re-zoned from a potato field to light industrial but at that point,
someone on the Town Board made the decision to re-zone that property for a different kind of
uses and I think the storage use was just sort of coincidental, that is what someone had an idea
for and they bought the property and that is what they wanted, you know?
MR. COPERTINO: I have nothing against what is in there, it is just when I look at it, I say gee,
what a nice place for some type of high tech, (inaudible) that would pay high tech wages.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: Can I respond to that question?

MR. COPERTINO: Sure.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: All up around to the north and around the landfill is zoned LIO,
which is three acre minimum zoning. It was zoned that way as you go up Depot Lane, on the
east side of the road, the goal was to attract exactly the kind of business you are talking about. It
never happened. And it was re-zoned that way quite a few years ago because there hasn’t been
an appetite from industry for exactly the kind of…
MR. COPERTINO: But there could be, though.
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: There could be but nobody has done it, which says something
about the fact that the Town essentially put out the welcome mat and nobody walked in.
MR. COPERTINO: Well, could we put that mat out again? Just draw a little…
COUNCILMAN EDWARDS: Well, it is out in the form of zoning.
MR. COPERTINO: Zoning. But how about tax incentives? You know, I am not a professional,
you guys are the professionals. It is easy to guess what you can do without any knowledge…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The things we need to think about when we look at those types of
options, we need to look at transportation. There is the high tech industry that surveys and one
of their problems is we can’t get them in because they say well, our young people can’t work
here because they can’t live here, it is too expensive. But we can’t make it less expensive or pay
them more money, it is a catch-22. Let me just say about the storage facility, it is actually a
beautiful structure and as a side issue, I know this wasn’t really the point, storage facilities are
great for taxation. Dollar for dollar they are some of the best commercial producers of taxes for
that school district.
MR. COPERTINO: Yeah, that is not the point that it is a storage facility…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Small business is another way…
MR. COPERTINO: My concept is when I look at that I say, gee, what a great place for a high
tech lab, testing lab or something that would draw some money into the town. These kids can’t
be landscapers forever here, you know? You know, they are not making the money and then you
are going to lose the youth. Look, I know it is hard, I am a proponent of conservation, you
know, so this is really, I am switching hats here. You know but anyway, that is all I have.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you very much. Motion to recess for public hearing?

2008 Budget Hearing 11/7/07 7:30 Pm
COMMENTS - Current Meeting:
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: This is to resume a public hearing that we started at 4:00 this
afternoon on the 2008 budget. Notice is hereby given that the Preliminary Budget and
Preliminary Capital Budget of the Town of Southold for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2008 has been compiled and filed in the office of the Town Clerk. Further notice is hereby given
that the Board will hold a public hearing on this proposed budget here at Southold Town Hall at
th
4:00 PM and 7:30 PM on Wednesday November 7. At such hearings, any persons may be
heard in favor of or against the 2008 Preliminary Budget and Preliminary Capital Budget as
compiled or for or against any item or items contained therein.
I have notices here that the budget has been included, the summary of the budget has been
included as a legal notice in the local newspaper. It has also appeared on the Town Clerk’s
bulletin board outside. I think anyone who is here attending the public hearing has access to the

budget, which was outside there. Anyone who has a copy of it, I am not going to go through
page after page of it. I will move to, first I will just mention that the budget process begins with
departments making requests, Supervisor reviews those requests and Supervisor gives to the
Town Board the Supervisor’s proposed budget. The Town Board then takes a look at it, makes
some revisions usually. In this case, made a few and that becomes the so-called preliminary
budget which is what we are holding a hearing on tonight. Flipping to the very last pages of the
document that is out there in the hallway, 2008 tax statistics show appropriations for 2008 of
some 36.2 million dollars, a 4.85 percent increase over last year. The taxes would be for 2008
some 23.9 million dollars, which is a 6 percent increase. And the tax rate increase would be 4.99
percent on the bottom of that page. Revenues on the next page would be 9.5 million dollars, for
about a 7.5 percent increase and we would have an appropriated fund balance carried over from
2007 of 3.6 million and in 2008 it would be 2.79. Those are a summary of the overall statistics,
the detail are inside and the Town Board would welcome comments from the public on this
proposed budget.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to comment on the budget? Mr. Wills.

Krupski Jr., Edwards, Ross, Wickham, Evans, Russell
Frank Wills, Mattituck
FRANK WILLS: Good evening, my name is Frank Wills, I live in Mattituck. On page 26,
Community Preservation Fund, there are a set of numbers that I would like to have explained.
Basically it says that the actual 2006, the land acquisitions was 10 million and some change, the
budget was set for 2007 was 32 million, the Supervisor’s tentative budget for 2008 is back down
to 2 million and some change and preliminary budget is at 2 million. What happened to the 32,
where did the 32 come from and where did they go to?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Is that, are you looking at appropriation? I think, is that the $25
million bond?
MR. WILLS: You have got the $22 million.
Comptroller John Cushman
COMPTROLLER CUSHMAN: If I may, I believe the budget for 2007 includes a bond for
$22.5 million, so that is why there is such a fluctuation between last year and this year and it is
back down again.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The bond we executed which is bond against anticipated CPF
futures.
COMPTROLLER CUSHMAN: Correct.
Couuncilman Krupski
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: The Town basically borrowed $22 million and basically we are in

the process of spending it. So it, it is just that it was a one time event.
Mr. Wills
MR. WILLS: Okay. That is the one that is listed at the bottom of the page?
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Yes.
MR. WILLS: Okay. Thank you.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to comment on the budget?
Dave? Mr. Bergen?
Town Trustee, Dave Bergen
DAVE BERGEN: Dave Bergen from Cutchogue. I am here to comment on the budget or ask a
question. On page 4 in the police equipment line, how many police cars, the replacement of
police cars are included in this preliminary budget?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There are five cars included in this budget. The other three that
were requested, we already authorized tonight to purchase with this years money. In other
words, there is no need to wait to budget for eight next year when we had an overage of money
unused in police retirement. So we bought the three, so that will complete the eight he requested.
MR. BERGEN: Well, I just want to speak on behalf of the Police Advisory Committee and tell
you we really appreciate the support of the police department, with what this Board has done.
Over the past couple of years, unfortunately, the cars have been cut back, as far as purchasing
new cars to the point where we had to bite the bullet and I appreciate the fact that the Board has
done that for this year so there has been some catch up done…
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: He had the three for this year and then we just authorized another
three, so six for this.
MR. BERGEN: I understand the three. The way the cycle works, three were authorized the year
before and they finally can get them next year. But with the authorization tonight of the three
plus the five that are in this preliminary budget; that would meet the Chief’s needs and I
appreciate that. Thank you.
Supervisr Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure.
Councilman Wickham
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: May I make a comment to the Committee? I gather the
Committee felt strongly that it is important to have all of these police cars and my comment is, it
would be helpful to have that comment come to the Town Board, rather than be coming through
a newspaper.

COUNCILMAN ROSS: I join in that comment.
MR. BERGEN: Actually, I can only speak for myself not for the entire Police Advisory
Committee, we have a Town Board liaison person and my understanding is there is a liaison
from the Town Board that is assigned to the Police Advisory Committee and that liaison hasn’t
shown up this year for these discussions. We have had these discussions on not just police car
needs but other items for the police department throughout the year and our communication to
the Town Board we thought would be via the Town Board liaison person who elected not to
come to these meetings. We also had at several times written letters with concerns, whether it
was about police cars or other matters to the Supervisor, so we have been communicating to the
Town Board outside of, as you say, the newspaper. The newspaper is welcome to come to any
of our meetings and the newspaper elected to come to one of our meetings where this discussion
went on. We don’t invite the newspaper there, they are invited like to every meeting we hold
throughout the year and they chose what meetings to come to. They happened to come to the
meeting where this was a topic for discussion. But it wasn’t that we contacted the newspaper or
asked the newspaper to come to us, so that we would maybe plant the seed to the community and
all. That was not the intention.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on the
budget?
Linda Goldsmith
LINDA GOLDSMITH: I have a question on your employee benefits. Do all of your unions
have the same health insurance plan?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. We are self insured through CSEA. The PBA I believe we still
have Blue Cross. Empire. The elected to stay with Empire some years ago.
MS. GOLDSMITH: The same with dental?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Then dental is, yes, the CSEA again operates dental through, I
believe, their CSEA union.
MS. GOLDSMITH: How about elected officials?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Elected officials match the CSEA agreement on both medical and
dental but we pay into the dental, prescription…
MS. GOLDSMITH: That would be self insured?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MS. GOLDSMITH: Okay. We just had the real property tax committee, maybe it would, is
there any way that all the unions could get together and use the same insurance and maybe go out
for a RFP?

Southold Town Board Board Meeting
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yeah, we actually held off on proposing the recommendations of the
Real Property Tax Council, it sort of got dragged into the political process unfortunately, so what
we did was, we are going to have recommendations coming out in the near future and that would
be one of them, certainly, to pool our resources as best we can and see, go out in the market and
see if we can affect savings. Those are the types of recommendations we will be making shortly.
JUSTICE EVANS: But it is also contractual with their union.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, I mean, we do have to have the union sign off and that would
be the same when we participate with the schools and everybody else.
MS. GOLDSMITH: For your tpa you did an RFP I take it, right? Or may I ask who your third
party administrator is?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Our administrator is Island Group.
MS. GOLDSMITH: Okay. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment to the Town Board on the
budget? (No response) Can I get a motion to close the hearing?
