SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please rise and join with me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Thank you. Before we get on the regular meeting, we have a presentation to make. Florence, I
am going to ask you to please stand. Florence is retiring from the Tax Receiver's office.
'Whereas Florence Corwin, a most dedicated employee of the Tax Receiver's office of the Town
of Southold has retired on November 22, 2010; and whereas Florence Corwin has given
generously of her time and provided faithful service to the residents of the Town of Southold as a
Clerk in the Tax Receiver's Office since December 4, 2000; and whereas Florence Corwin's
record of unwavering service and diligence to duty to the Town of Southold deserves the sincere
gratitude of those with whom and for whom she served; now there be it resolved that the Town
Board of the Town of Southold hereby expresses its sincere appreciation to Florence Corwin for
her unselfish and untiring efforts on behalf of the Town and extends best wishes for the years
ahead; and be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Florence Corwin
and entered into the permanent records of this Town Board meeting.' This is presented on behalf
of the entire Town Board, thank you for all of your wonderful work.
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Thank you.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Thank you.
GEORGE SULLIVAN, TAX RECEIVER: I just want to say one word. My friends will say that
I always brag about the employees of our town, I think we are very fortunate having (inaudible)
it is only right that today we honor someone who has given so much of her time and effort to the
town. So, I thank you for the proclamation and I thank Florence for all her years of hard work.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you very much. I would ask anybody at this time that would
like to comment on any of the agenda items, please feel free to come forward, on any of the
agenda items.
BENJA SCHWARTZ: Good afternoon, Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue. How are you? On
resolution # 457, land preservation generic steward management plan. What is the plan? Is that
available? Is that posted? I looked for it on-line on the website and I couldn't find it or anything
about it.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: It is a newly adopted management plan that covers all the town
owned properties, all 56 of them, that don't have management plans in place. There are a
number of very small properties and this is a plan that basically says do no harm but you can
clean up man-made debris, that is about it.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: It is going to be a temporary one until the official one is written.
June 21,2011 Page 3
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: right. Well, eventually we will have, well, some are so small they
probably will never have management plans but some are larger parcels and they are being used
by the townspeople but there are no official trails yet and there are no brochures, there is no
official parking and as all that happens, in the future, because the Town Board said in the past,
let's wony about acquisition today because once those parcels are lost, they are lost. If we do
acquisition today, we can do stewardship later on when we get time and resources for it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Two weeks ago there was a draft of this that was presented to the
Town Board. We reviewed it then, upon adoption tonight, it will certainly be available on the
website as quickly as possible.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: But it is available at the ....
MR. SCHWARTZ: I am very happy to hear that you are developing it, I just feel like it is
something that you would want as many people as possible to review and know about and have
easy access to it. To date it is not available but it will be. LWRP, one of our favorite subjects, is
being, there is a resolution 465 to amend the LWRP to reflect changes made to the maps and
narratives for the state's significant coastal fish and wild habitats within the town's LWRP area.
Again, it sounds interesting, it sounds good, I am glad you are doing it but part of all this public
business is letting the public know what is happening. And I don't see what the changes are or
where that is or how I can access that. Is that available?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Benja, this is the culmination of a process that has probably
taken 18 months. We have had several heatings and these are the changes to the dredge
windows that were made to the LWRP, there was a code amendment that was the subject of a
public hearing. There was also an amendment that dealt with changes to the minor exempt
action list. The process is very longwinded, the state puts us through all these hoops, this
resolution is just simply one of the parts of the process that we know have to just forward, once
again, to the state to change it, so that is all that this resolution is doing. These amendments have
already been made previously. It is just another, hopefully, the final step and the state will say it
is okay and then it will finally be done.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: It actually wasn't 18 months, it probably was three times that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: This is trying to bring some closure to an issue that has been more
than well publicized, which is the dredge windows and everybody is familiar with the snafu in
dredging that happened a few years ago, where none took place. We had a dredging committee
in place. More or less, this strikes from reference any of the dredge windows established by
federal or state law from the local LWRP.
MR. SCHWARTZ: You know, it sounds great except that we are here today at a public meeting
and we have an agenda and you have got this, I remember the dredge windows, talking about
that, discussing that, but I, I couldn't get that from this. So that is why I am asking. Resolution
466, bonding to purchase highway equipment for the highway department. I mean, I am sure it
makes a lot of sense what you are doing but part of the reason we have this meeting in public is
June 21,2011 Page 4
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
so that people can understand what you are doing and in reading this lengthy, several pages of
resolutions, the only thing I can understand is something, equipment for the highway department,
acquisition of equipment for the highway department. No where does it say, are we buying a
dump truck or road paver or, you would think that we would be a little bit more ....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Again, information that has already been distributed thoroughly to
the public. This was part of the capital works project, the budget that was adopted by this board
this past winter. This is a budget request, capital works request, capital budget request from the
highway superintendent. It was adopted by the Town Board for the purchase of a payloader and
an item called a skid steer. Again, these were vetted through public heatings, they were adopted
by a vote of this Board ....
MR. SCHWARTZ: It is many different parts of types of equipment, this is equipment that he is
going to go and try to get at bargain sale prices and stuff, that is what we have been talking
about...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: This resolution refers to?
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: No, no. That is the stuff that he was getting out of the city?
MR. SCHWARTZ: Yes.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: These are all going to be brand new pieces of equipment.
MR. SCHWARTZ: These are going to be brand new.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: These aren't auction items. These are items that...
MR. SCHWARTZ: These are the things that he wanted to go to the trade show...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Inaudible.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: He actually did go to the trade show ....
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: He actually went there, paid for it himself and came back with
some knowledge.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Okay, thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment on any of the agenda items?

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just quickly say, that is in no way a reflection on the good
work these organizations do. We received a notice recently that our community block grant
funding was being cut by 15% and this just reflects the reductions across those different
organizations.

Comments regarding resolution 478
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: First of all, I want to just say, congratulations Captain Flatley, we
would like to have you come back on the 5th so we can have a formal ceremony including your
family, and that is the night of the noise heating so we are going to hide behind you. Welcome
to the leadership post. Congratulations.
Closing Statements
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I just have a few quick announcements before I get to the public
comments. On July 23rd from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Southold Town is hosting a secure shred
that is for anybody, any homeowner or business that wants to bring papers, legal papers,
anything that you have at home that you want to shred securely, we are doing that, it is a free of
charge offer that we are making to the community. You are welcome to bring all of your
documents for shredding at the Rec center. Again, that is July 23rd from 10 to 2. and also, I sent
a letter today to Cross Sound ferry thanking them, Cross Sound ferry as a result of a dredging
project last winter had a substantial amount of material, sand and gravel, they donated it to
Southold Town that we used for the restoration of Town beach in Southold that suffered a great
deal of erosion last winter. We estimate the cost of that material to be about $192,000. That
went a long way in helping us restore that beach, so we want to thank Cross Sound ferry
publicly. With that, I will let anybody that wants to comment on any issue to feel free?
ANNE MURRAY: Hi, I am Anne Murray from East Marion. I just wanted to comment on
some event from this morning, just so the public knows if they are here or watching, the town
Trustees have proposed some changes to the wetland code and there are many of them and I
believe they are going to the code committee next week?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, we will establish, we haven't established a time and day yet but
I presume it will be sometime next week.
MS. MURRAY: Great. Will they go to a public hearing after that?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MS. MURRAY: Okay. Wonderful.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, in fact, the reason that we wanted to have another code
committee, we already have actually had a code committee meeting on it but there are some, I
think points of dissention. We are trying to close that gap a little bit before we go through the
June 21,2011 Page 29
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
public hearing process.
MS. MURRAY: Right. That was obvious this morning. And just so the public knows, there has
been a lot of concern lately with some editorials in the papers about how septic systems are
affecting the bays and the sound and this is a worldwide problem but very local for us and one of
the changes that the Trustees wanted to make is doing away with the 100 foot from the wetlands
ban on septic systems which I think is extremely wrong and I hope that a lot of people will be
watching this issue because it is extremely important. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Just to clarify, I think what the Trustees proposed there was if you
are going to relocate outside of the 100 foot, then they are exempting it from review. In other
words ....
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Relocation within.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Within.
MS. MURRAY: Inaudible.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: So you could actually, the way it is worded, you could actually
relocate it closer to wetlands.
JUSTICE EVANS: I thought they told us this morning they had taken that out to read...
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: We will wait for the draft.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, let's, we will have a code committee meeting to bring clarity, it
was clear this morning that there wasn't a lot of clarity from all sides as to what exactly some of
the changes were going to mean.
MS. MURRAY: And it will be next Wednesday or Thursday?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Presumably. We will schedule it and then we will publicly notice it.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: We are trying to make it, the Trustees requested it to be either
early in the morning or later in the evening so that they could all attend.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on any issue?
No? Oh, Benja.
BENJA SCHWARTZ: Hello again. Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue. I emailed a letter to the Tree
Committee on May 31, I haven't gotten a response yet. It has been three weeks, right? It is June
21.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Is that the same one that went to Mr. Harris?
June 21,2011
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
Page 30
MR. SCHWARTZ: That was not the letter, that was the Freedom of Information request.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Oh, okay.
MR. SCHWARTZ: But I wanted to ask you about that also because a letter ....
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: He told me he responded to you.
MR. SCHWARTZ: No.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: Well then you should have gotten back in touch with him. He told
me he responded to you.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: They might not have met.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They meet once a month, it is a volunteer committee that meets once
a month. And it is quite possible that they haven't met since the time you sent it.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Yes, they might not have, the tree committee might not have met
since you sent the letter.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: What was it in reference to?
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Benja, if you did send it to the tree committee, I am a liaison to
that, we are meeting June 29. we meet once a month, I forget last month's date but you probably
sent it after that meeting, so if you did send it to the tree committee, we will obviously bring it up
then.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, I mean a letter is a letter and I hope I will get a response. I did get an
acknowledgment of the receipt of my letter from the secretary the same day, so I was very
impressed with that.
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: That would be from Linda Randolph?
MR. SCHWARTZ: Yes.
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: So then you did contact the tree committee. So we will probably
be talking about it next Wednesday.
MR. SCHWARTZ: So a letter is a letter. I also emailed a Freedom of Information request and I
got a receipt of that the following day from Betty Neville's office. The problem is, I didn't get
an answer. And this is the first time which I have followed up on my request.
TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: You should have followed up sooner because Mr. Harris told me
June 21,2011 Page 31
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
that he responded to you and you were satisfied with it ....
MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, the request was also to the tree committee. The FOIL request was
directed to the highway department and the tree committee. Did the tree committee tell you that
they had followed up and answered my request? It is your responsibility to ....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, no, no. You have to give them time to meet, you are not being
fair to a group of volunteers who meet once a month.
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: Is it possible that the secretary ....
MR. SCHWARTZ: That is not the way the law works, okay? The Freedom of Information law
is very specific. There are timelines when a Freedom of Information request is filed, it needs to
be answered within certain timeframes. That was not done. That is not being done. You need to
look into the policies of the Freedom of Information law in this town. You need to start
following the law. Every single one of you knows what I am talking about, when I made a
Freedom of Information request and you essentially in little nicer words, told me to go sue you
because I asked for a copy of a digital record. Digital records, computer files are subject to
Freedom of Information law. You told me I can watch it any time I want on the town website. I
didn't ask to look at it. I asked for a copy. The Freedom of Information law provides that I have
a right for a copy. Well, I am going to keep reminding you and I am not going to sue you. I am
not going to sue my town government because I feel, as I have told you before, that that would
be similar to suing my own father or my mother. You are the parents patria, the parents of our
little ship of state here and I am not going to sue you but when you tell me that if I want what I
am entitled to from my government I have to sue you then I have no alternative but to come and
tell you again and I will come back and tell you again that you are breaking the law and I want
you to stop breaking the law and I want you to comply with the law and if you don't think I am
breaking the law you can sue me. Okay? You don't believe that you are breaking the law, then
please, sue me. Because that would be slander and this is not slander, the law is very clear. I am
entitled to a copy of that record and without any legal reason, any reason that complies with the
statute, you denied my request. So now we are talking about a different Freedom of Information
request and it has been three weeks and the Freedom of Information officer, who works for all of
you, she was elected by the people but she works for you, is telling me that I should have already
got a request. I don't know what the policy is, I don't know if you usually see copies of the
replies but that request went to two departments and if the department was unable, for any
reason, to comply within the time required by law, then there is a legal, an alternative. There is a
requirement that the requester be informed that there will be a delay and there is a legal
requirement that the requester be informed as to how long that delay will be. Neither of which
were done in this case. And neither of which are apparently done in any case or in the usual case
in Southold Town. So I suggest you have some problems there, I have problems because of your
decision to ignore the law. Now what went on this morning, I was unable to be here for the
entire meeting this morning, there were two executive sessions on the agenda. How many
executive sessions did you hold this morning?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: One executive session. The motion was made to go in executive
June 21,2011 Page 32
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
session, it was a very all inclusive motion made by Councilwoman Louisa Evans that included
all the issues to be discussed.
MR. SCHWARTZ: How many issues were discussed during the singular executive session?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: There was two litigation matters and there were some labor
matters.
MR. SCHWARTZ: And there was a property acquisition matter?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: That did not go forward.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That was withdrawn.
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: It was adjourned.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Oh, yeah, that was adjourned, so we had one matter that was noticed for
Seacroft, Heritage at Cutchogue, Nocro, whatever you want to call the group versus the Town of
Southold, correct?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: And you are entitled to hold executive sessions to discuss that, of course,
but isn't there something, was there something that triggered that executive session or is there
something that you can tell us about the current status of that case? I think the public has an
interest and the right to know if there was a motion that was filed that was answered, that was
decided, if there, I, I, if there, has anything happened in court or are we ....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are being sued for a substantial amount of money. Today's
executive session was to discuss the ongoing legal strategy that we apply as we, at first blush, I
think won the first round but we are facing an appeal and you know, we have to hold, as a former
attorney you should understand the need to hold our cards close to our vest when we are
discussing these legal s~ategies.
MR. SCHWARTZ: I am interested then, is there anything on the public record that has
happened in that case? Are there any new developments?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Not to my knowledge.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Okay. Then there was something about, was it Bob Ghosio, Robert Ghosio
Senior notice of claim or something? Was that in executive session?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, it was.
MR. SCHWARTZ: And what is the basis of that?
June 21,2011 Page 33
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Again, it was strategy to discuss the pending claim and
settlement of the claim.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, again, the law seems pretty clear to me. I can't quote you a statute or
a case but I could find the decision of the committee on open government which is authorized
under the statute to interpret the law if you like, it says very clearly that potential litigation is not
an appropriate subject for an executive session. If it were and it might have been in a case
decision, I don't remember but the decision whether it was administrative or judicial basically
said that if you could hold an executive session when ever someone threatened to sue, you could
just say well, we don't know, there might be a lawsuit about anything and hold an executive
session. You can't, a notice of claim is a public document, correct?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Yes.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Subject to the Freedom of Information law, correct? But it is unreasonable
to expect that every time anybody wants to see anything in the government records that they are
going to file Freedom of Information request for every little bit of document and there are
documents that you do provide, that you do make available. If you have this on the agenda, it
would be nice in that in the public meeting, first of all, I don't think that it should have been
during an executive session and second of all, I think that at least the notice of claim should have
been made publicly available somewhere so people could have seen what it was. Can you tell
me what the claim was concerning?
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: It is a property damage claim.
MR. SCHWARTZ: Property damage is the category. And you know, it is a matter of public
record, correct? What is on the document, the notice of claim, when somebody files that their, I
believe they are giving up an privacy rights, they have filed it on the public record and...
TOWN ATTORNEY FINNEGAN: Benja, if you want to see a copy of the notice of claim, you
can see a copy of the notice of claim. Nobody is trying to hide it. But the strategy that the Town
Board takes with respect to addressing claims is appropriate for discussion in executive session.
So if you want to see a copy of it, all you have to do is ask. Is this your request for a copy of the
notice of claim?
MR. SCHWARTZ: I guess it is. You do have the right to discuss the strategy in the executive
session but there is a reason why it is on the agenda and it is a matter of public record, notice of
claims. I think the information on all of the complaints and the claims that are filed against the
town is something that the public has an interest and a right to know and I would hope that you
could find a way to make that available without requiring people to file a Freedom of
Information. I have no particular interest in that claim but I would like to see the list of all
notices of claims that are currently pending with the town. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on any issue?
