On the contrary, it would local government the opportunity to fit with agencies from
the EPA, the DEC, the Deoartrnent of State, all the agencies that legally can have
.urisdiction over these areas, and work with the Town first to come up with a local
management plan. My oersona feeling is that we snare the Peconic Bays. What
one town does on the Bays effects another, and that a regional approach is the
most intellectu~ ly appealing way to work together to insure the viability of the Bay.
I found the meeting interesting. I appreciated the opportunity to attend.

MARY JACKSON: Mary Jackson. Southold. I was curious to know how the Board
is going to progress now, that the injunction has been lost with the DEC? What
plans are there regarding the andfill now?
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: What has haopened there, Mary, and let me just speaE for
the Board. The injunct on, even though lt~s off for a brief moment in time, was
stayed again by the Appellate Division, and we are still under a restraining order
to continue the landfill, while the case is being heard now in the Appellate Division,
Appellate Court, a secone division in Brooklyn, and that's where we are right now.
All the East End towns are in the Appellate Division, and now are awaiting decision
of that panel, it was filed last Thursday, and a day after the Judge from the
Supreme Court had made his ruling of the temporary restraining order was put back
in place on the DEC, continuing our ]andfil , and filling legally, as well as the other
towns. Why don't we proceed ahead. Councilwoman Oliva, do you have any
statements you'd like to make at this time?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Just to say that the rest of us are stil going to different
meetings. We were very pleased, I think, to interview thirty candidates for the
ZBA, and I must say, as a whole they were a really excellent candidates. It was
a pleasure that they took the time, effort, and trouble lo apply for this position.
Of course, we've been busy going to Code Committee, Solid Waste Task Force,
Planning and Zoning, etc., etc.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you. Deputy Supervisor George Penny.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Thank you, Scott. On behalf of the Supervisor, I attended
the County meeting, which Ellen mentioned earlier on the National Estuary Program,
and I brought back some comments, which were carefully documented by the Town
of Southampton. that I think very clearly spelled out the concerns of a lot of us
out here on the East End, and when you looked at the configuration of the manage-
ment team, that would be in place once the National Estuary Program was put in
