HomeMy WebLinkAboutMPD-08/16/1994 Minutes of the Special Meeting of the Board of Commissioners for the vote of the resident taxpayers on Proposition I (sale of Westphalia Property to William M. Guyton) and Proposition II (the proposed budget for 1995), held on August 16, 1994 at the Mattituck Park District Office with all Commissioners and officers present and the District attorney, Eric Bressler. The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners swore in the Inspectors of Election, Judy Thilberg and Bonnie Adams, prior to ?zOO P.M. and declared the polls open at ?=00 P.M. At ?=30 P.M. the meeting was called to order by the Chairman. Several resident taxpayers came to the meeting with questions. See attached sheet for attendance of taxpayers. Question asked pertaining to Proposition I such as the price and how it was arrived at. The Chairman explained we had appraisals made by local appraisers. The Secretary acknowledged the reply by holding up an appraisal. Many questions were directed at the budget ie= The amount of salaries seemed extremely high, the small amount in for site improvements but the large amount for supplies and maintenance. Mr. Witschieben asked if we ever have an audit of the books. Mr. Bressler answered that the charter does not call for one. Mr. Cushman offered that the annual accounting is submitted to the Town of Southold and then forwarded on to the State of New York. That did not suffice for Mr. Cyprus and Mr. Witschieben. Mr. Witschieben requested the books be audited annually. The secretary was ordered to include the request in the minutes. Mr. Adams told the body of the meeting that the Breakwater site parking lot was to be completely closed in with guard rail and that the concession stand was going to be re-built and re- opened. The architect was already working on plans and permits. The people seemed pleased to hear that statement. Mr. Cyprus said that in all fairness he could not vote for the budget until he could see paid bills and an accounting of all funds. Mr. Cushman said that could be done if Mr. Cyprus would come to his home. He accepted the offer and a time would be agreed upon with Mr. Cyprus and Mr. Cushman. The men who did the better part of talking said that they did not mean anything personally as to the Commissioners and Officers misusing the funds but they felt strongly that some one should audit annually. They then left the meeting. Mr. Adams proposed that starting in 1995, any permits issued for the Park Facilities should be accompanied by a $50.00 fee. This is due to the fact that people who had permits this past season had misused the cleaning up, leaving debris for the custodian to clean up and dispose of. Should the 1995 permitees clean up and leave the grounds the way they were, the $50.00 would be returned. On motion of Jerry Goehringer, seconded by Pete Sabat and carried, black top sealer is to be ordered through a firm in Bohemia which sells it in 55 gallon drums. 5 drums are to be ordered. The Breakwater concession was discussed and Mr. Samback, the architect who is working on it is to get all permits necessary. On motion of Jerry Goehringer, seconded by Pete Sabat and carried a $400.00 retainer is to be sent to Mr. Ss~ach~ a $400.00 second payment on approval of all agencies~ and $200.00 on completion of construction. This does not include the fees for the permits. Because something happened to the tractor which no one would account for, it is in Malvese being fixed. It was noted that occasionally when the custodians go to clean up at the Yacht Club site, the lights have been left on. The Commissioners discussed putting them on a timer from 7=45 P.M. to 10=45 P.M. Letter was received from Mr. McMahon of the Town of Southold requesting that permits be gotten (he would take care of all permits) to have Wolf Pit Lake dredged and cleaned out. This was tabled by the Commissioners as Mr. Cushman told Mr. McMahon it could not be done this year because nothing had been put in the budget for the work. Pay raises are held up for the time being. On motion of Pete Sabat, seconded by Jerry Goehringer and carried, the Treasurer's report was approved as presented= Cash Cash in Time Cash in MBIA/CLASS $ 6,297.27 17,457.71 80,512.62 Total $ 104,267.60 On motion of Jerry Goehringer, seconded by Pete Sabat and carried, the following bills were ordered paid= Post~ast er 08/12/94 29.
