Ruthanne Woodhull
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please rise and .join in thc Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Thank
you. Bcfbre we start the meeting, it' anybody knows me, they know I love irony. Therefore, 1
am going to ask Ruthanoe Woodhull to please come lbrward so I can present her with a
proclamation for a changc. Ruthanne's last day is tomorrow and I am not kidding, we are goiog
to miss her in the most protbund way. l think everybody on this Board, everybody in town
government, she has been such a key employee to us all that we are going to be poorer tbr her
abseoce. But let me read this proclamatioo, this is really, Ruthannc has seen so many of these.
'Whcrcas Rutham~e Woodhull will retire on Fcbruary 29, 2012 from her position as Executive
Assistant to the Supervisor of the Office of the Town Supervisor and whereas Ruthanne
Woodhull has givcn generously of her time and talents in her faithful service to the Town of
Southold and has steadfhstly served many supervisors and Town Boards with diligence, integrity
and professionalism and Whereas thc Town Board oI' the Town of Southold, together with the
employees of Southold Town wishes to pay tribute to Ruthanne Woodhull as she leaves her
position justly deserving recognitioo for 20 years of extraordinary public service to our
community. Now therefore be it Resolvcd that the elected officials and employees of Southold
Town extend our appreciation to Ruthanne Woodhull for her many years of service and express
our best wishes fur her happiness, health and success in her retirement." Dated February 28,
2012. I will say that I not only signed it, there is a fuotnote that says 'please be advised that
Ruthanne Woodhull had no role in the creation of this proclamation.' Ruthanne has created
probably every proclamation that has been presented in this Town fur the last 20 years. I have to
say the irony of having to make her look at the proclamation, also, we have a little gift for you on
behalf of the town. There is nothing we can do to really thank you, to really express our
gratitude. Everything falls so far short. We did thc best we could. But thank you.
RUTHANNE WOODHUI,L, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT: Thank you and thank everybody
here.

or more in diameter measured three feet above thc base of the trunk shall be retained to
the maximum extent possible.
D. Natural features: that high priority shall be given to:
(1) The conservation of all natural features on and adjacent to the site, including but

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: 1 know you saw it was on the previous meetings resolution, maybe
it was four weeks ago. But as you know, this is something that the Town spends a significant
amount of money on, we all know that the volatility in the petroleum industry right now and
there is some speculation that no one is willing to lock themselves into a bid but given the
bidder's involved, the last time we did this no one bid on the first round or only one bidder bid on

we bid it again because the interest of the people should really trump everything else.

Comments regarding resolution 191
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: If 1 could just go back to the resolution I read before number 191.
Sending lbur employees to get training on lead removal and renovation in existing buildings, it is
really, DPW has been very proactive lately about doing work on town owned properties and to
have four really capable employees go and be trained is going to be a real asset for the town. So
I just want to commend them.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We certainly thank them for their willingness to step forward and
get that done.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Well, it saves us from getting an outside contractor as well. Going
forward, it is certainly the right thing to do.

Comments regarding resolution 201
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: I am reading it and moving it because it is my turn on the agenda
to do so but I will not support it because from the very beginning, and this goes back for a
number of years, I just didn't think it was a wise use of taxpayer money and 1 think every part of
town is different and the signs are different and that kind of gives our communities the character
that it has. So 1 will move it but 1 will not support it.

I have a notice that it was posted on the Town Clerk's bulletin board on February 28, 2012, that
it was posted in the Suffolk Times on February 23, 2012 and we have a short environmental
assessment form and that is it.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to comment on this particular acquisition?
Councilman Albert J. Krnpski, Jr.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: Inaudible.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Are there any other comments? (No response).
Closing Comments
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would invite anybody that would like to comment on any particular
issue, to please feel free at this point? Marie?
Marie Dominici, Mattituck
MARIE DOMENICI: Marie Domenici, Mattituck. I would like to just share with you some
observations that I made recently and perhaps it might heighten your awareness and maybe
prompt some action. I was parked on Love Lane the other morning, it was about 8:45 in the
morning, I was waiting for the post office to open and coming off of 25 is this humongous 18
wheeler tractor trailer, who diverted down Love Lane at a reasonable speed, actually more than
reasonable speed down Love Lane and he crossed over the railroad tracks and went to 48 and
then proceeded to make a left hand turn. And in recent times I am seeing a lot more truck traffic
that seems to be using that as a conduit to get to another road and I mean, Love Lane seems to be
the most unlikely cut through one should be using and then again, this might be, as with my
request for the Aldrich Lane, just to post signs that say no trucks over x amount of weight unless
for deliveries. But this guy was cranking down there pretty well. The good news was, there
wasn't double parking, you know, on either side of the street where people are parking, there
xveren't a lot of vehicles there but I have to say in other times, if that street is full, that's really
not going to be a good thing for that road in addition to which, the wear and tear that could cause
road eruption and then destruction and then when you have to fix it, it puts, you know, the local
business guys out of touch with their potential customers. The other thing, I would like you to
consider maybe reviewing that, maybe having a traffic control thing happen there or something
but it just doesn't seem that that's the place lbr tractor trailers.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: I think that road is posted, no through truck traffic.
MS. DOMEN1CI: Well, then we need to put a police officer there until word gets out.

Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
COUNCILMAN RULAND: I don't think the sign is there anymore.
MS. DOMENICI: You might have to put it back up. Maybe, I don't know. But like Mr.
Krupski said earlier, sometimes you know, people don't pay attention to that but I guess maybe
youjust need to make a statement in some way. The other observation I made and this is several
observations over the last several weeks in addition to several years, that people are using
stormwater drains for their personal rubbish things, where they are using the drains to drop stuff
in there and I have spoken to people in the past about this and I am thinking it is important that
perhaps if the town could put together maybe a presentation and run it on 22 when there is no
meeting like this being shown, there needs to be an education movement out there because
people are using those drains for things you don't even want to know about and I remember
about two years ago, Scott, I reached out to you and I know you mitigated that but that is just one
of many things that happen that we don't see all the time but 1 have seen it in several restaurants
locally that they use their local stonnwater drain for their personal, pardon the expression, toilets
if you will. They throw everything down there and frankly, I don't want to drink any of that.
and it happens not only from the restaurant side of the business but it also happens in the
residential side of the business. And I have seen it time and time again and it is not that 1 am out
there looking for it but it is there so it is probably happening more than it should and more than
we know. So if there would be maybe an educational program of some sort that you guys can
put together or you know, talk about fines, talk about something because you know, ignorance is
no, you know, excuse. So, if there could be anything that could be done from this end, it would
be greatly appreciated.
COUNCILMAN KRUPSKI: A local group, Southold VOICE, did put stickers on a lot of the
storm drains throughout town, probably what? Two years ago, three years ago? So most of
them are still there, some are missing of course but the educational component that you
mentioned is a really good idea. We do have the MS4 committee which deals with those kind of
issues. Education and public outreach is one of the charges for the town that we have to
accomplish and that is a good, that would be a good lbcus. Something that ~ve could air on the
TV would be a really good idea. because quite often when we have an educational thing about
something like that, we don't even get this many people. So it is a good idea to put it on TV.
MS. DOMENICI: Yes. lfyou could.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We try to panner with the various groups that are out there. The
NFEC, the Group lbr the East End, to try to help us with the outreach, the community outreach.
It is a difficult proposition, you mentioned 22, actually I do think there is a lot of potential there.
What xve need is a production capability, we need the capability to take, now there is an east end
student film group, I am trying to reach out to the man that created that program to see if we
involve them and t heir talents and their hard work in helping us produce things that would reach
out to the community we have. It is not just stormwater mitigation but all of these things that we
want, recycling, you name it. There is a host of things that we could be running on there. We
need that production capability and hopefully, that is a niche they will be able to fill for us.
MS. DOMENICI: Well, I hope that it is something we can approach rather quickly because it is
February 28, 2012 Page 41
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
frightening to see how much of it is happening and how much of it we end up drinking and
people don't get that. People don't realize that when they are throwing stuff down the
stormwater they think they are just, you know, they have clean houses and their lawns are neat
and everything is great and everybody's hair and nails look great but at the end of the day, they
are killing us. So if we can educate them that, you know, looking pretty is as good for the
environmental side as well as the physical side of your personal grooming, okay? Thanks for
your time.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would ask anybody that would like to address the Town Board on
any issue?
Anna Yeto,
ANNA LIETO: llello, my name is Anna Lieto, I just wanted to address the issue of farmers
markets, 1 think it was talked about this morning. 1 am sorry 1 couldn't be here for that but I just
wanted to, well, ! am one of the persons that is planning to do the market with the vineyard and
we appreciate that Laurel lake has been really open and helpful to make this happen. Hopefully.
And just to let you know, I am one of the managers of the lhrmers market in Sag Harbor, I have
been for a couple of years and we are very passionate about local food and local economies and
trying to help with that around this area. So I just think that, I would like to point out just a few
issues that I think are important to keep in mind when making a decision about opening a
farmers market or allowing it in the town or in an area. One of them is that the growth of
farmers market is actually more and more in this country for several reasons, one of them is
because people are understanding that local foods are much healthier than the ones that we
consume from other sources. The other one is because they see the potential of helping the local
economy. I have some data here that I am not going to go through but I could send you a letter
and I will do that also with some data about how that growth is going and some research that has
been done throughout thc country. The other thing is that I think it is important to think about
that it is an agricultural area and there are tons of farms and thrm stands but we also have a lot of
small producers that don't have the farm stand and that perhaps are on an area that people don't
see them passing through and they don't get the exposure that a farmers market could give them
and I have experience running the one on the south fork and that is what we are doing with our
vendors down there. The other issue that I wanted to address is that we are trying to start and
continue with a market that we promote the vendors on the north tbrk, even though I live on the
south fork and I run a market there, we have been looking for vendors around this area because
we want to help this area and the market should be on the north fork even though right now we
have some vendors from the south fork as well, most of the vendors that are willing to participate
in the market are actually very close to this area around here. The other thing I want to point out
about farmers market is that they are a community gathering, people go to the farmers market to
network, to talk about community issues, to enjoy local, healthy food and even though
(inaudible) it is really not, it is more a place for people to gather and for families, children. We
also educate or we try to educate the consumer about healthy, local food as opposed to, what
does that to your body as opposed to other ways and buying in other places and that is what we
are trying to do, not only with that but also we educate people about farming themselves, if they
want to, if they want to grow a little garden outdoors, we will have a little presentation of local
artists, always focusing on things that people might be interested in learning about helping
people in the area. Another thing that farmer markets do is that they help low income residents
February 28, 2012 Page 42
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
because you can use WIC or (inaudible) programs that we offer, they cannot be used at farm
stands, so a lot of the people that cannot afford to buy vegetables are sent to areas a little bit
farther and a farmers market would provide that kind of help to these people. And the last thing
that I wanted to mention is if the main issue (inaudible) in the summer, we could limit our
market to just a winter market like we do also in Sag Harbor. We have a summer market and we
have a winter market so perhaps when some of the farm stands in the area are not open, we can
actually help provide resources for the people here that they might want to have at that point,
where like I said the other farm stands are closed. Just one last note, our vendors that we talked
about are really excited to start, I heard that there are people calling the vineyard and going to the
vineyard and want to know when the market is going to be open and we are very happy to have it
at some point, of course, as soon as it is allowed by the town. I am available for any questions or
any kind of (inaudible) that you will need, apart from the premise that I know that Laurel Lake
vineyard have been providing to the town. Okay, thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will just tell you that there was actually two questions that the
Town Board had to answer today. Number one was, are ihrmers markets currently permitted
under the town code and in discussing the issue with the town attorney, the answer would be
they are not. Then the issue was, do we want to see them in Southold Town? One of the
underlying issues to a farmers market is the benefit to the local agricultural community, so what
we did was we referred the issue to the agricultural advisory committee for them to come back
with recommendations to help guide us. What 1 think the town board envisioned is that if there
is a farmers market it is because the local agricultural growers want the farmers market. T hat
really needs to be the genesis of a farmers market. That is what we are waiting for. We are
waiting to get the feedback from the local growers and then we are going to take it from there.
MS LEITO: Okay, so it is now on thc agricultural committee?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They are the ones we referred it to the agricultural advisory
committee.
MS. LEITO: Is there any way to address them, with a letter or some comments like I made now?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELl,: Yes, I am sure if you actually sent any comments you wanted to
them, you can send it to the Town Clerk's office, to the attention of the agricultural advisory
committee.
MS. LEITO: Okay. Great.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And they will probably, I don't know when the next meeting is but
they will probably be able to tell you when the next meeting is, if you call the clerk's office, they
will let you know when they are scheduled to meet again.
MS. LEITO: ()kay.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to address the Town Board?

ALEX LEBON: Good evening, my name is Alex Lebon, I am the tasting room manager of

application and perhaps if you get some feedback from the agricultural forum and they would
like to hold a farmers market, we would be happy to have them. So thank you.
