SUPERVISOR HORTON: You will see 15 and 16 have been put on hold. I would like to address that
right now. Local Law calls for a Board of Ethics, and that Board of Ethics is set up that will have three
members on that Board of Ethics, each member serving the three-year term, therefore there will be
st
three year staggered terms, therefore bringing an appointment due each year, December 31. At this
time we are looking into the situation. There is a technicality. Something has been missed, and we are
working to correct that to find out whose appointment is up. As I was doing my research in preparation
for the Organizational Meeting I noted that two members were up for the year 2002, and one out of
sync to be done in May 2004. Betty in the Town Clerk’s Office is working diligently today to rectify
that situation, and when I was looking into that somebody, that I am very honored, came forward, and
requested to serve on the Board of Ethics. I brought it up in discussion today, the Work Session, to
appoint the Honorable Judge Fred Tedeschi, who served for nineteen years as a Town Justice, and has
spent sixty years in the business of law, and the business of lifetime commitment to ethics, as you will.
He requested to be appointed to that Board, or expressed an interest. I brought that before the Board,
and when this is rectified I will move to appoint Judge Tedeschi to the Board of Ethics. I think that will
be a great service to the community. As we all know Judge Tedeschi is a friend of Southold Town. So,
fifteen and sixteen are on hold.

Moved by Supervisor Wickham, seconded by Councilman Romanelli, it was
RESOLVEDsets the expiration date of the term of
that the Town Board of the Town of Southold
st
any committee appointment to December 31 of the year in which the term expires.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: I would just like to say briefly, this was something again in doing my
homework for this particular meeting in reviewing the committees that volunteers serve on that they
expired over a course of a number of months, and then doing my research I found that a number of
members had expired, and were still on the committee, so it is a housekeeping measure. I think it is
important that streamline the process for organizational and effectiveness purposes to have them all
st
expire on December 31 to enable the Town Clerk’s Office and myself, personnel, to affectively
appoint people to these committees in a timely fashion.
Vote of the Town Board: Aye: Councilman Wickham, Councilman Richter, Councilman Romanelli,

SUPERVISOR HORTON: That concludes the Organization Meeting. At this point I open the floor up
to our audience, our bosses, if there is anything you would like to address the Town Board on Town
related business, please, feel free to do so.
STANLEY DROSKOSKI: Good morning. My name is Stanley Droskoski. I want to congratulate the
newly elected officials to the Board. I wish you the very best for the New Year. I have one question,
and this has to do with #27, the Police Advisory Committee. Is there something available, or someone
tell me what the function of this committee is?
1/2/02 27
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Thank you for bringing that up. I mentioned that at the beginning of
meeting we put that on hold. As I brought up before the Board at the Work Session having done some
research the most recently appointed Police Advisory Committee hasn’t met in what I could see, at
least, four years, and it is my intention to create a Police Advisory Committee to work with the Town
Board as well as with the Police Department, and we will discuss the function, and the exact mission
tomorrow. At that point we will canvas for members of that committee.
STANLEY DROSKOSKI: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HORTON: Are there any other comments, questions, accusations? (No response.) At
that point that concludes our meeting.
