Present:
Supervisor Scott Russell
Justice Louisa Evans
Councilman Albert IG-upski, Jr.
Councilman William Ruland
Councilman Vincent Orlando
Councilman Christopher Talbot
Town Clerk Elizabeth Neville
Town Attorney Martin Finnegan
This hearing was opened at 8:01 PM
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: In April, 2011 the Town of Southold expects to receive
approximately $130,000.00 in Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds.
These funds may be used, and have been previously used for a variety of projects to be
selected by local officials.
Eligible activities include:
Acquisition and demolition of blighted property
Housing rehabilitation
Elimination of physical barriers for the handicapped
Public facilities and improvements
Street Reconstruction
Code Enforcement
Public Water projects
Economic Development
Public Services (limited to 15%)
Town Residents are invited to attend this public hearing on Tuesday~ October 5~ 2010~
7:32 P.M. at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, to
express citizen views on local housing community development needs to be met with
these funds.
I have a notice that it was posted on the Town Clerk's bulletin board on the 14th of
September, I also have a notice that it was printed in the Suffolk Times on the 23rd of
September 2010. There is a letter from the Dominican Sisters Family Health Services in
support of this, 'Thank you for the opportunity to again apply for funding through this
community development block grant.' Also I have a letter from the North Fork Housing
Alliance, again requesting $72,500 for this round of funding. 'Thanking you in advance
for all your cooperation in this matter and fully supporting it.' And the Robert Perry
Community Development Block Grant Funds 2
October 5, 2010
Development Corporation which is the Robert Perry Daycare Center in Greenport, also
putting in a request for $7,500 for 2010 and they are appreciative of the support in the
past and would appreciate it again. And that is it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to come up and address the Town
Board on this public hearing?
PEGGY MURPHY: I am here on behalf of CAST, Community Action Southold Town
to request consideration for financial support through the Community Development
Block Grant funding program. And just a quick paragraph, CAST is a not for profit
organization incorporated in 1965 to help lower income residents meet their basic needs
in the areas of nutrition, employment, energy, housing and education. Initially CAST
was funded by the federal and New York State government. Our current financial
support, with the exception of the Southold Town CDBG fund is depended on the
generosity of the public and a variety of fund raising activities to maintain our
commitment to serve our high risk clients, who are the neediest of Southold Town's
residents. The letter goes on but I don't think it is necessary for me to read anymore.

L1NDA RULAND: Hi, my name is Linda Ruland, I am from Mattituck. Mr. Supervisor,
members of the Town Board, good evening. I am the director of Family Service
League's North Fork Early Learning Center, a year round New York State licensed pre-
school daycare center which many of you know is located in the Laurel school on the
Main Road in Laurel. This year we have almost 100 children enrolled in our various half
and full day programs. Toddler programs, 3 year old program, 4 year old program and a
universal pre-kindergarten for Mattituck-Cutchogue 4 year olds which we operate under
contract for the Mattituck Cutchogue School District. We have just finished our summer
programs which provided up to 8 weeks of camp experiences for toddlers through school
age children in 6th grade. In 2011 we will be celebrating our 30th year of providing early
childhood education and licensed daycare for the residents of the north fork, of which the
last 7 years have been as a program of Family Service League Inc. We have been
privileged in the past to be the recipients of the Community Block Grant awards, these
funds have helped the North Fork Early Learning Center to move from a one room
facility to the beautiful and historic Laurel school campus which houses two buildings
and seven classrooms. The funds have helped us adapt the buildings to accommodate our
four classrooms. Currently we are completing a Community Block Grant project that
will provide more appropriate playground equipment and a safer environment with the
installation of safety surfacing. As the demand for quality child care services increases,
due to the uncertain economy which fomes more parents into the workplace, we struggle
to provide more needed daycare, especially for toddler age children. Our waiting list

continues to grow and every week I have to mm children whose families desperately
need our services away. For the past two years, we have tried to open another classroom
for our youngest population but the initial costs of setting up another program has been
too costly for us to succeed. As we look to the future, we respectfully ask for your
continued support to achieve not only this goal but to be able to continue to offer the
families of the north fork the quality services that the Family Service League and the
North Fork Early Learning Center are committed to. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you.
MS. RULAND: Would you like a copy of this?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you.
BENJA SCHWARTZ: Good evening, my name is Benja Schwartz from Cutchogue.
Two years ago I had the opportunity to operate a sailing school out of Greenport Harbor
with the North Fork Women's Resource Center and was just a wonderful opportunity to
get to know children in the Town of Southold, specifically children who maybe otherwise
couldn't have afforded a sailing program. Our sailing program is rather unique in that
instead of just putting the kids on the boats and teaching them how to go off sailing,
mostly around a little race course, nothing wrong with that but we went out cruising
together on a larger boat. Looks like we are going to have an opportunity to do that next
summer and we hope we will be able to take a lot of children out and we sure could use
some help, if the Town has some funds to be contributed to that program. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Town
Board on Community Block Grant funding? (No response)

Emergency monthly and school vacation feeding programs;

referrals;
· Computer training and access;

Re: Public Hearing- Tuesday, October $, 2010

Ms. Neville,
We aimlogize for being unable to attend the Public Hearing on Tuesday, October 5', 2010 at 7:32 p.m. at the
Southold Town Hall.
In the past Dominican Sisters Family Health Service has received funding from the Community Development
Bleek~(3rani Funds towards our Volunteer Transportation Program. We are aware of the great need for transportation in
your township. Any resident of Southold Town who requires transportation to a medical appointment is direcmd to call
Dominicao Sisters Family Health Service Special Programs. The referral is usually through the Town's Senior Services, a
neighbor or friend who has used our service, or a local church. We currently have approximately 21 local volunteers who
drive the clients to their medical appointtnent? wait for them and drive them home. In 2009, we gave 350 rides to thirty
five (35) clients for a total of 1,871 hours of service. We maintain a fil~ of current licenses and insurance of all
volunteers. The majority of our clients are low-income, elderly residents who no longer drive. If we have a volunteer
available, we try to a¢commodi~ie anyone's request regardless of age or income. The program has been in existence in
Southold Town since 1997.
The Interfaith Volunteer Program was formed in 1997 with initial support from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation to Dominican Sisters Family Henlth Service. It ia an outgrowth of the Charity in Action Volunteer Program
for the agency. The Interfaith Volunteers help residents of Brookhaven, East I-Iampton. Riverhead, Shelter Island,
Southampton and Southold by providing: transpoRation to a medical appointment, arrange shopping for groceries, picking
up pr~sqriptions, work regular hours in a thrift shop, help with office work, or help and deliver meals at the holich~ys.
Thank you for this opportunity to again apply for this funding through the Community Development Block Orant
Funds.

Re: Community Development Block Grant Funding
Dear Mr. Beltz:
Please be advised that the North Fork Housing Alliance, Inc. administers the Town of Southold's
Rehabilitation Program. This program provides eligible owner occupied homeowners the
opportunity to have health and safety items addressed at their homes. We in conjunction with
the Town of Southold have completed over 150 units of rehabilitation since the inception of the
program.
This program is essential because without it, homeowners would not be able to complete the
necessary improvements to ensure that their property is up to code. We currently maintain a
waiting list of those persons waiting to be served as funding becomes available.
Therefore, we are requesting $72,500.00 from this round of funding.
I thank you in advance for all of your cooperation with this matter.

October 1, 2010
Dear Supervisor Russell and Members
Of the Town of Southold Board,
I would like to officially submit our request that the
Robert L. Perry Jr. Day Care Center be included in the Community Development Block
Grant application for 2011. We are very grateful that Perry Day Care Center received
these Community Development Block Grant funds of $7500.00 for this year, 2010, as we
have been going through ~'ome very difficult financial times lately.
To give you a brief summary of the.history of the Robert
L. Perry Jr. Day Care Center, let me start at the beginning. Perry Day Care Center was
built in ~991 using HUD funding to provide a centrally located child care center for
parents of low to moderate incomes. The not for profit (501c3) corporation that
currently runs Perry Day Care Center was re-organized in 1998 and is overseen by a
Board of Directors. The building was specifically designed to be a child care center for a
maximum of 25 children; currently we have 20 children enrolled. The children are
residents of Greenport, Southold, Cutchogue and Shelter Island. About 85% of our
children are from low-income homes in which both parents are working; in some cases,
one parent may be employed at a seasonal job. The Perry Day Care Center contains 3
individual classrooms, each with its own bathroom, an office and a complete commercial
kitchen. The 3 classrooms are an infant room for babies ages 8 weeks to 18 months of
age, a toddler room for children 18 months to 2 ½ years of age, and a pm-school room for
children ages 2 V2 to 4 years of age. We are the only New York State licensed child care
center in the Town of Southold who can accept and care for infants under the age of 18
months. The children are offered two hot, freshly prepared meals a day as well as an
afternoon snack. Each classroom has a daily schedule of activities that are age-specific
and developmentally appropriate. Our mission is to provide top quality child care that is
both nurturing and stimulating.
As we have recently suffered a major financial loss in income (about $12,000
a month) because of a cut in New York State subsidies for many of our children, we are
even more dependent than ever on public and private grants as well as on donations. As
there continues to be a tremendous n6ed for quality child care on the North Fork we are
bound and determined~to persevere and struggle through these financially challenging
times. Thank you so much for your much needed and appreciated interest and support.
