Rescinded Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town Board on the organizational meeting? Or anything of mutual interest before we have another meeting? HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT HARRIS: Just a question on the resolution about the Highway Superintendent’s, the purchasing. Was there not, did there not used to be a dollar figure? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: A dollar figure up to $10,000. Now there is no dollar figure, you just need to follow the procurement policy. Which should have been done anyway. Benja Schwartz BENJA SCHWARTZ: Good morning again. Mr. Schwartz, Cutchogue. And happy holiday, today is the last day of the 12 days of Christmas. Christian holiday known as Epiphany, which I know very little about but I would like to recognize it and what really made me think of it was I am hoping that this Town Board will have an epiphany at this meeting that we need to reorganize Southold Town government. Somebody was speaking this morning about conversion from low band to high band and said we were the last town on Long Island that hasn’t done this yet and we are debating whether to do it or not. I think it will happen this year. As he said, the time has come to utilize new technologies. But also we need to get back to our roots. I was watching on the public channel the other day, the school board and someone came up and said that they would like to have a conference with their, a parent wanted to have a conference with their teacher and all the school board members agreed that when the parents are engaged in the children’s education, well, it works better. Well, is there anybody here that would disagree that when the citizens are engaged in the local government, local government works better? Do I hear any agreement or disagreement? January 6, 2009 Page 46 Minutes Southold Town Board Meeting COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: It is true. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Yeah, absolutely. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, I am not just talking about citizen activists, I am talking about seniors, businessmen, religious leaders and non-profit leaders in our town and youths, I think there is a, we have a great potential to reorganize the Southold Town government to make involvement by the, by everybody to facilitate. Involvement by everybody. Let me give you some specific examples. Number one, town board meeting agendas. After Christmas, about 10 days ago, I called up and asked what the agenda would be for today’s meeting. I said I understand it is not finished yet but normally the procedure is to publish a draft agenda. Unfortunately, the practice for the past year has been the draft agenda is published Monday, the day before the meeting. They publish the draft agenda and then they take it off and there is no agenda on the website and the next day the final agenda is ready at the meeting. Well, when we have a public hearing, we try to give the public notice of what will be at the public hearing two weeks before the public hearing. Now, I am not sure an agenda for the Town Board meeting which are every two weeks can be published two weeks but I would like to see at least a draft agenda at least a week in advance. Now that is up to the Supervisor. It is his job but I am sure he will consider it. But the rest of you Town Board members also have a say. You may not be able to require the Supervisor to publish that, to post it on the website a week early but you certainly can request it. And I ask that you do that. The fiscal impact would be none, the impact for a stronger democracy in Southold Town, significant. You are going to love this one but you know, the Town’s website. For example, here is the web page for the, do you recognize that? That is for the Highway Department, it has a very nice under construction sign. It is kind of a joke. But it is not a joke because I don’t know how long the website’s been up, 10 years, and that is still pretty much all that is on the webpage for the Highway Department. And the other web pages are not much better. This webpage, the website was started under the Jean Cochran administration and it didn’t get very far. They said every department could do their own thing. There had been no coordination in the Horton administration, I talked to Josh Horton and he said we don’t have one penny in the budget for the website. Well, let me tell you something, I shouldn’t have to tell you what a website can do for this town. None of you may be computer experts, but if any one of you wants some help and wants to learn more about using the computer, I volunteer. I will just, tell me when and I will be there. Computer is not only the most effective, it is the most economical. It is the easiest, it is the most efficient, it is the most functional, practical and extraordinary method to enable citizen participation in government today. The Town Board doesn’t even have a web page. The Supervisor’s office doesn’t have a web page. It is using the home page sort of, you know, parts of it but you know, that is wrong too. The home page should be the home page. That should belong to the whole government and the whole people. Supervisor’s office should have its own web page, as should the Town Board and there is a lot of information that could be put on the website. I have volunteered, I have come in and I have tried to, you know that I have tried to work with the town on this. But I only got certain amount of progress and then I have hit a dead end. I hope that this year you will realize that the website is not just something that people with computers use, the website reflects the entire town government and as I mentioned earlier, I do not believe that Southold Town government will ever be the most efficient and January 6, 2009 Page 47 Minutes Southold Town Board Meeting organized and you know, we are not a military organization let’s face it. But a little bit of organization and a little bit of attention to these things would make a big difference, the fiscal impact would be minimal in terms of expense and it would be, it would probably be positive in terms of effects it would have to reduce (inaudible), there are things that law requires, now New York State law requires that the town respond to FOIL requests by email. Now it still may cost the town a little bit to respond to a FOIL request by email but for the citizens it won’t cost them anything whereas right now if you come in, you have to pay per page plus then you make all the copies, we are spending tens of thousands of dollars a year on copies. That could be reduced. It could be much more effective. It is required by town law. I tried it once, it doesn’t work or hardly works in the Town of Southold, certainly there is no, there should be a form on the website that says FOIL request. There is a form that you can print out but that is buried among all the forms on the Town Clerk’s page, very hard to find; whereas that is a very central tool for citizens to use, to learn about their town government, to get involved to know what you are doing with our tax money. A little less specific but you know, it strikes me that two weeks ago I spoke about a link on the town website to the Cutchogue, what is it? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Chamber of Commerce. MR. SCHWARTZ: Chamber of Commerce, right. How long have they been out of business? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They are not, they just simply merged with other organizations. They have come together under the umbrella of the North Fork Chamber. MR. SCHWARTZ: But there is no longer a Cutchogue Chamber of Commerce and when you click on the link on the website it says this website is for sale. And you know, I mentioned that at the last meeting two weeks ago and it takes about two minutes to delete a link from a, it is still on there. But the thing, too, I am from Cutchogue. You know, this whole town was purchased from the Corchaug Indians, nice thing about Cutchogue, one of the nice things they say is it is the sunniest town, it is the sunniest place in New York state. Well, Tom Wickham, you might know, is Southold Town the sunniest town in New York State? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I don’t know. MR. SCHWARTZ: But that is an interesting thought, right? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Mmmhmm. COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: It is the happiest town in New York State. MR. SCHWARTZ: It is the happiest. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Since Benja moved in there, that is for sure. MR. SCHWARTZ: I am a happy guy. Well, if that is true then that might be a great way to promote our town, right? January 6, 2009 Page 48 Minutes Southold Town Board Meeting COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Why don’t we put on a work session in the future dealing with the website? MR. SCHWARTZ: I would be very happy to attend that. But this is, you know, beyond the website, I am talking about our town identity. I think we need to develop a brand, if you want to, you know, I don’t think we are going to reduce taxes just by cutting back on government, I think we are going to have to do some new things too. That is why I am speaking today at the organizational meeting and I realize it can’t all happen today but hopefully over the course of the next year, if you need help, maybe I can help you. We can find some ways to reorganize this government to make it work better for the people. One of those would be to develop a town identity so people don’t say ‘I am from Mattituck’, ‘I am from Cutchogue’, ‘I am from Greenport’ but ‘I am from Southold Town’. You know, we have the garbage bags we sell, a lot of the supermarkets are selling those bags you can take to the supermarket so that you don’t waste the plastic bags which are all going in the landfill. So why don’t you have some Town bags? Some of the libraries are doing that. It is actually a source of revenue. Wouldn’t be an expense to the town to have some town bags for people, reusable bags, canvas, you know, maybe Mills would like to put out a bid on it. Do you understand what I am talking about? Because I am not, the voice is not too good. What would go on a town bag if we had a town bag? Well, we could put our great seal of the Town of Southold but it is not the greatest thing in town, it is red and white and you know, it has been a pet peeve of mine for 40 years or more that Southold Town doesn’t have a flag. I would like to see a request for proposals and invitations to artists and people in town for suggestions, maybe a design contest and maybe you can adopt a town flag this year. That would be a nice way to generate some town spirit. I think we do have a very good spirit, very happy spirit in our town and I think the people in our town are willing to get involved in, it is just it is very difficult when you come here and you know, people say, why do you talk so long? Well, there is no one else talking and there is a lot of things that need to be said. First off, I have been trying to volunteer for a couple of years now to work at the transfer, to help at the transfer station to become more economical and more efficient and you know, all it would take would to put a couple of garbage cans or a big container for returnable deposit bottles and a lot of people would be happy to separate out their deposit bottles and put t hem in that container, the town could use the money, maybe one of the, I mentioned that to someone at the town clerk’s office today and they said yeah, some one used to do that out by the boat’s out in Orient there and after a couple of years, they bought a new truck with the money. Just the money they made from the deposit bottles. But in addition to the actual cash flow that would come from that, we separate those out from the waste stream also, that would be a cash impact. But there is also this spirit of it, people feel like they are involved. Alright, those are just a few of the examples of how we can facilitate ongoing increased civic participation in agenda setting. You know, I know you do work very hard, Scott, and you have a very difficult job but it should be all on you. The agenda for this town government, the agenda for these meetings is the responsibility of everybody in town and certainly the entire Town Board. Participation in discussion and deliberation in local government, you know, if we can’t be involved here, where can we get involved? Creation of policies, legislation and other means of policy implementation. I know I am not alone. There is a lot of people, say, businessmen, seniors, youths, who have a lot to offer and we need to work together. So, thank you very much. January 6, 2009 Page 49 Minutes Southold Town Board Meeting SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Thank you. Just to touch on a couple of things that you mentioned, one, when you stood up before the meeting and you mentioned that we should be working on these things all year long, actually this past year we have been working on an awful lot of things and it definitely was not rubber stamping this organizational agenda, as you can see. We put a lot of work into it. We made some changes, employee participation in town committees is getting a lot of attention right now. the dues for organizations, how people, town employees leave town hall to go to different organizations, how that affects their work, how that affects their department performance. All these things are being reviewed and really scrutinized this past year. And another thing you mentioned was community participation in town government. You are right, it is extremely important and we have, we mentioned 12 or 13 committees today on the agenda and they are full of people that live in town that really donate a lot of their time and a lot of their energy and a lot of their expertise toward making government much more efficient and much more useable. So we do have that, quite a bit of community input that I think we all appreciate. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, I didn’t want to belabor this because it has been a long half hour but the reality is the best way to participate or to have the community participate is to listen to them. That is the best way. I tell you, I have been in government 18-19 years now and the public is 10 times smarter than I am and you listen to them, they will give you the direction you need to do a good job. So when I organized the meeting down at Knights of Columbus one night to have community input, to talk to me about the process, you were at the next Town Board meeting telling me it was an illegal meeting because I didn’t duly notice it. So either you mean it or you don’t, Benja. You can’t say it one week and then three weeks later or a few months later, have a different viewpoint. That is not consistent. You know, that is what you do, you go out and you reach out to the public and you listen to them. That is the participation they want taken. That is most beneficial. MR. SCHWARTZ: Scott, I didn’t expect you to be receptive. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am receptive. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, you say you are but you haven’t been. I have been here, I have been at this Town Board, I have taken my time from my day, my work and I am a very busy guy, I come here and I try to participate and listen to the meetings and you know what? I get shut out because you have executive sessions on a regular basis everyday at the work sessions. Now that doesn’t get televised but under the state law, executive sessions are supposed to be the exception and not used, now the problem with these executive sessions, I don’t know what you discuss at these executive sessions, the substance of that but I can see the way that you go into the executive session and the resolutions that you use to call for those executive sessions, including the resolutions that are on the agenda today, are illegal, according to my interpretation of the law. And I have tried to share that with you at least a half a dozen times over the past year and am I getting anywhere? Obviously, I am not making any progress. January 6, 2009 Page 50 Minutes Southold Town Board Meeting SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I have actually agreed with you on that and referred that to the Town Attorneys so that we can run a tighter ship when it comes to calling for executive session and what it says on the agenda. I have agreed with you there. MR. SCHWARTZ: I have made myself available to the town attorneys and I have not gotten any, they said they didn’t have time to talk to me. So I said, not this one but the town attorney, she didn’t have time to talk to me so I said when you have time, please let me know. Please contact me. I never heard anything from her. I contacted the committee on open government who shared my opinion that many of the practices by the Southold Town Board are improper, in a letter which was sent to me and also to the Town and yet the agenda today reflects that that letter was not comprehended or hasn’t been…. ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: Can we be clear that the agenda are not resolutions to go into executive session? The agenda items relating to executive session items are topics; resolutions are made before the Board goes into executive session. Quite often, there are things that come up either the day of the meeting or the day before the meeting that need to be discussed in executive session and resolutions are made as you go into session. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right. Right. MR. SCHWARTZ: I have heard the, I have read the agenda and I have heard some of the resolutions. I can’t be here every time for every resolution but from what I can see, if the resolution, if the agenda items and the resolutions are not clear, then I have very little confidence that what is discussed in the executive session is limited to the allowable subject. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Attorney-client privilege, as well. And we specify. MR. SCHWARTZ: There is also an attorney-client privilege but for that you don’t need an executive session. You can just say we are going to talk to our attorney, we are going to go and meet with our attorney. But there are very limited number of subjects that you can, when you are talking to the attorney you need to be talking to the attorney and not with each other and discussing legal matters. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We do have another meeting and if you want to raise the issues with that specific agenda, with regard to executive session, I will be happy to clarify it then but there were not executive items on the organizational agenda. ASSISTANT TOWN ATTORNEY CORCORAN: And it should be noted that it is a quite common occurrence that the attorneys in the executive session, sitting in the executive session will say to the members of the Board, this is not an appropriate topic for executive session and it will either be continued outside of the executive session or the discussion will be terminated. So I don’t want you to think that anything goes once we go into executive session. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, I hope that we can clarify this so that we won’t have the friction that January 6, 2009 Page 51 Minutes Southold Town Board Meeting is apparent when there is a disconnect between what the public, public has a right to understand you know what the executive session is, the subject of the executive session. Okay? COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I get a motion to adjourn? II.
