has now been finalized and will be filed with the Town; Bill Register through this date for
February; Aldrich La. Lighting Capital Project report, and the Balance Sheet as of Feb. 12, 2009.
MPD currently has $707,480.18 in assets of which - $640,000 is in cash.
We are still awaiting the Capital Project grant orS100,000 from the Town. The "as built" came
in today, so we should get grant dollars shortly. The Town is showing it as a liability.
Bills to be paid totaled just under $14,000.
D. McGreevy questioned high expense of $865 to heat Vets. Bldg.
E. Grohoski stated thermostats are turned down to 55.
E. Gmhoski mentioned he needed to purchase supplies for hot water fix at Lodge and went to
Home Depot - we no longer have account at Blackman's.
Decision made to again set up an account with Blackman's.
J. Cushman will set up account.
Motion made by T. McCaffery, seconded by D. McGreevy, all in favor, and motion carried to
accept Treasurer's reports.
CLERK'S REPORT

dates listed (see attached); and the February 14th "Plunge" scheduled as a benefit for Maureen's
Haven.

Motion made by D. McGreevy, seconded by T. McCaffery, all in favor, and motion carried to
accept the Clerk's Report.
MAINTENANCE REPORT
E. Grohoski submitted February Maintenance Report (see attached).
He asked whether he should fill Wolf Pit with water this year. D. McGreevy
stated she is waiting for water quality test, which may take three months, and then will discuss
and decide.
E. Grohoski reported canvas covering needed for lifeguard stands. Umbrellas cost $60-70 each
and are difficult to handle. Feels canvas roof that covers entire stand with two pipes at a 45
degree angle and can be taken down would be better choice. He will get estimate from Howdy
Canvas/possibly Hudson Canvas. Also, possibly will price cost of adding MPD logo to canvas
at future date.
E. Grohoski also reported the cylinders have been removed from boat ramp lock for annual
repair/repining and it takes about a month. Gate is now left unlocked.
D. McGreevy asked if we should lock it up for now with another lock.
E. Grohoski stated it has remained unlocked for this time period each year with no problems.
T. McCaffery stated most people use the Town ramp to the west anyway.
Decision made to keep it unlocked until return of cylinders.
E. Grohoski would like to order permit bumper stickers from Ink Spot. Cost is -$1,000 for
3,000 stickers. Town gets theirs from Academy in Wisconsin but need to be ordered a year in
advance.
J. Cushman suggested maybe consider a two-year permit.
D. McGreevy wonders how long the stickers' quality will last.
Attendee in audience stated some people don't put sticker on car and share.
E. Grohoski stated he checks proper sticker use and some do have it on their dash, but license
plates match in 99% of cases.
Attendee in audience stated walk-ins are supposed to be checked.
Attendee in audience stated that is hard to control.
E. Powers suggested maybe annual stickers for out-of-towners.
T. McCaffery remarked he wouldn't want seasonal passes, as it would possibly make Park
available for too many people and overcrowd.
Decision made to order stickers for this year and check with Ink Spot regarding lasting quality of
stickers.
VOTING PROCEDURE
Peter Young asked where we stand on his resolution. Preferred a resolution to avoid another
court proceeding and was frustrated and disappointed not to have heard anything during the past
month.
Regarding the budget election in August, he stated, absent any change from our current policies,
he wants to see many inspectors present regarding the two lists now being used (registered
voters' list and property list).
He stated spouses who come in and are not on list will need to provide deed, title or other proof
of ownership in PD, not just license. Feel this should be publicized and adequate warning given.
He would like to, in fact insists, that he be an inspector.
E. Powers stated she has not given her advice to the PD yet. She has discussed the matter with
the AG, but would like to review litigation, needs to get the proper file and then discuss with PD
Page 2 of 6
their position. Issues are not black & white; open to interpretation; there are special exceptions;
how do other districts operate; is PD
an exception; numerous discussions are taking place. Commissioners will make final decision.
P. Young would like answer in one month. Resolution should be adopted.
E. Powers stated the election is not until August. He has an artificial timetable.
P. Young stated he needs something or he will file for Index Number and PD should put aside
$9,000 or $10,000 for legal costs. He prefers resolution. There's the '%roman" thing and the
ambiguity of the statute.
D. McGreevy stated we want to do it right. There are still too many unanswered questions and
wants input from AG.
P. Young suggested we give him a counterproposal, maybe get input from Legislators Alessi and
LaValle also. Don't leave him dangling. One more month and then back to Court.
E. Powers stated our obligation is to all in the PD. Someone else may say "why did you let them
vote. They have no right to vote."
P. Young stated it should be inclusionary, not exclusionary.
Attendee in Audience asked for clarification on who's allowed to vote.
D. McGreevy infomaed that they must be a property owner, tax paying resident, to vote on
budget issues.
BLUFF RESTORATION
Report submitted by John Bradley (see attached).
N. Deegan reported that John Bradley's mom says they are still interested in project. They would
like to (1) erect barrier (2) install informational sign (3) fill in existing eroded paths with native
vegetation replanting. ]Mrs. Bradley would like to look into DEC permit but will need input from
Commissioners.
Survey may be needed and, therefore, a new survey may have to be done.
D. McGreevy will contact DEC to see if permit and survey are required for this limited work.
Fees were being waived by the Trustees and DEC.
BAILIE BEACH LODGE
Met with Jon Shearin, insurance agent from Roy Reeve Agency, at 6 p.m. prior to start of
meeting and reviewed rental policies.
Items discussed included: Need for increased liability coverage when alcohol is used or when
high risk activities are being held; when a homeowners' policy will be accepted versus the need
for Special Event coverage; businesses' ability to include additional insured in policy, as
opposed to an individual or family policy including it.
Some items to be included in rental contract include: Occupancy #, number of hours being rented
with clean-up time included & dumpster fee.
We are awaiting occupancy # from Bob Fisher.
E. Powers will prepare resolution regarding insurance requirements, and will send a draft of
resolution to Jon Shearin.
E. Grohoski reported insurance agent has told him one duct cleaning per year is adequate due to
limited use of stove and ovens at Bailie Beach:
The issue of bidding requirement for insurance policy will be tabled at this time.

LIGHTHOUSE SECURITY CONTRACT
N. Deegan reported that for $30/mo Lighthouse will include fire alarm and Ansel extinguishing
system in kitchen; security system with keypad for motion detection to activate alarm system;
and heat loss tracking, which will require a relay on furnace wired to pad & phone, which will
first call Lighthouse Security and then call E. Grohoski. Going rate seems to be $30/mo.
Mattituck Plumbing will install relay on furnace for a cost of $240.
Contract ran out on January 15th. We are now going month-to-month.
E. Powers stated the yearly service agreement with Lighthouse is $288.
Decision made to execute annual agreement with Lighthouse Security Systems for the Bailie
Beach alarm system. A previous motion had been passed at January meeting and was awaiting
counsel review.
LIGHTING COMPLETION
J. Cushman today received the "as built" from Welsbach, but still awaiting Certificate of
Completion. He will follow up.
VETS BUILDING
Plans had been done by Mapes for enhanced septic system, which was needed due to increased
usage resulting from conversion of storage room into community room and also beach traffic
usage. Plans should be ready for DEC.
T. McCaffery stated Tommy Foster was to come down and check if dry wells were ever in place.
E. Grohoski cannot remember them
Audience attendee stated no dry wells. Pipes mn into ground.
N. Deegan stated expanded system will cost - $17,000.
Resolution 2009-3 authorizing payment of $2,500 to the Suffolk County Health Department as a permit
fee required to obtain approval of the Sanitation Plan for the Community Center at Veterans Park was at
this time read into the record by E. Powers.
Motion made by T. McCaffery, seconded by D. McGreevy, all in favor, to enact Resolution
2009-3 (see attached).
WEST JETTY AT VETS. PARK
N. Deegan states we are still bound by Terry Contracting bid.

Veterans Park was at this time read into the record by E. Powers.
Motion made by D. McGreevy, seconded by N. Deegan, all in favor, to enact Resolution 2009-2
(see attached).
SALARIES
Maintenance - N. Deegan reported that at Tuesday work session E. Grohoski reported there is a
lack of work right now for part time workers.
N. Deegan proposed part time workers be laid offfor month of March -
March 3rd thru March 27t~.
T. McCaffery asked if that will be enough time to have ballfields ready for season.
E. Grohoski stated probably not as season starts around April 1St and he is short one man, as Rip
Stelzer will not be returning. Floating docks go in end of March and repair work needed.
D. McGreevy stated she understood the only work being done at present was making the
"rounds" and repairing picnic tables and suggested changing the 4-week layoff period to
February 16th thru March 13th' as this would give enough time to prepare for season.
Page 4 of 6
E. Grohoski says they could then go on unemployment and that will cost District money.
J. Cushman agreed we would have to pay their benefits up to $400/wk.
E. Grohoski suggested maybe cut back to one day/week and then no unemployment.
N. Deegan asked if they will be back to two days/week in mid March.
E. Grohoski stated it will depend on grasscutting needs.
T. McCaffery suggested that maybe next year the layoff can occur in month of February, but
now we are gearing up for season.
D. McGreevy stated this is a good compromise.
Motion made by D. McGreevy, seconded by N. Deegan, vote taken with D. McGreevy and N.
Deegan assenting, T. McCaffery dissenting, and motion carried, that part time maintenance
workers' employment be diminished to one day per week for the period February 16th through
March 13th.
Clerk - Gail Faireloth
D. McGreevy reported building heating cost of $865 last month and discussed possibility of Gail
working at home during winter months, when there is little to do except answer phone and make
reservations for Lodge use. She is now in office four hours/day. Asked if we should continue as
is or possibly reduce hours and/or have her work from home using remote phone access for
messages.
T. McCaffery suggested work at home and access messages. He had not been aware that
reducing hours was discussed at work session.
N. Deegan agreed and suggested maybe three days at home.
D. McGreevy asked how many hours would be needed to complete required tasks.
T. McCaffery suggested speaking to her and finding out what would be sufficient, possibly two
days a week from home or come down to retrieve messages.
N. Deegan indicated maybe she can do it in 10-12 hours/week.
T. McCaffery asked what Southold Park District does.
D. McGreevy stated they close on October 15th with phones being answered from home.
No decision was made.
AUDIT
D. McGreevy reported that she contacted different auditors and they need more information in
order to give cost estimate. Spoke specifically to Markowitz, Fenelon & Bank.
E. Powers suggested using Albrecht, Viggiano, Zureck & Co. The Town uses them and they are
reputable and very experienced at municipal audits.
D. McGreevy will email J. Cushman what information is needed.
TELEPHONES
D. McGreevy reported that the phone at Aldrich Lane has been eliminated and we are now using
Optouline for District Office phone and Verizon for Bailie Beach.
Nextel phones - We have eliminated one phone and clarified # of minutes allowed on others.
GAS CARDS
Only five Citgo gas cards remain active at this time, all others deactivated.
D. McGreevy reported that there were 83 gals. of gas purchased on past Commissioner
Zuhoski's gas card for the month of December.
Page 5 of 6
B. Vlcek reported that Citgo will change our account to an "Enhanced" account and report
odometer readings, waiving the usual monthly fee.
Card use will require a PIN number and an odometer reading and must stay with each vehicle.
They can also require a Customer Reference Number.
For gas can filling, separate cards would be needed.
It was decided that four odometer prompting cards should be issued, one for each vehicle, plus
two additional cards to be used for gas can fill-ups, and Customer Reference Numbers included.
B. Vlcek will submit the application for these cards.
PECONIC PLUNGE
A bay plunge will take place at Vets Beach this Saturday, February 14th to benefit Maureen's
Haven. E. Grohoski will open the park and building at 8:30 a.m.
EASTER EVENT
T. McCaffery informed that last year's egg hunt was great with 300-400 children participating.

Erosion Reduction at Bailie Beach Lodge
Purpose:
Protect the Long Island Sound bluff from erosion at Bailie Beach Lodge in Mattituck
My plan is to:
1. erect a barrier to prevent pedestrian traffic on the bluff(from the lodge to the bluff
and possibly from the beach to the bluff).
2. install an informational sign about why the bluffis important and why it needs
protection (on the lodge side and possibly on the beach side).
3. fill in existing eroded paths from the lodge to the bluffand replant them with
native vegetation (on the south side of the bluff)
Additionally, if time and resources allow, I may:
1. build wooden walkway (catwalk) at lower elevation to create an environmentally
friendly method of transport to the beach
2. make posters for inside the lodge to educate all groups that use the lodge
throughout the year
3. create powerpoint presentation to educate Boy Scout, Cub Scout, and Girl Scout
groups about protecting the bluff.
Future projects that I would encourage oflae~ Scouts or the Park District to undertake
include:
1. beachgrass planting of the north side of the bluff(only after pedestrians traffic
from the lodge has been curtailed)
2. removal ofinvasive plant species and replacement with appropriate native
species.
I will contact the appropriate experts in the field of dunegoluffprotection/restoration,
native vegetation, and production of educational material before I proceed.
I will work with the Mattituck Park District, the owners of the property, to obtain all
necessary permissions, permits, and resources (possibly including Army Corps of
Engineers, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Town of Southold).
If necessary, I will work to raise funds through donations, fund-misers, and cost sharing
with the park disffict.
