Ruland, Councilman SECONDER: Jill Doherty, Councilwoman AYES: Dinizio Jr, Roland, Doherty, Talbot, Evans, Russell Special Presentation Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please rise and join in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Thank you. Before we get to the regular business of the meeting, I would like to recognize two people who will no longer be employed by the people of Southold Town in the new year. Peter Harris, as everyone knows is retiring and Councilman Chris Talbot is also retiring. Chris, I am going to ask Pete to come on up. Pete, you have sat with me so many times when I handed these things out and it is almost ironic that you are getting one tonight. Come on up. I have to tell you, I am going to read this to you, I never read them but for you I am going to read it. I have worked with Pete probably more than (inaudible) we have had hurricanes, we have had snowstorms, we have had nor'easters that have knocked the streets out. We spent a couple of hours a day in the basement of the Police Station with this guy, hours on end, you really get to know them. I have to tell you, it has been an honor serving with you, every aspect of it. You are a man of honor and integrity. "Whereas the Town Board of the Town of Southold wishes to recognize Peter Harris a most dedicated employee as he retires from his position of Highway Superintendent after 12 years of service to Southold Town on December 31, 2013 and Whereas after working for the New York State Department of Transportation for 30 years, 24 of them as Highway Maintenance Supervisor, Pete was elected the Southold Town Highway Superintendent in 2002 and has been actively involved in the Suffolk County Highway Superintendents Association, having served December 17, 2013 Page 4 Southold Town Board Meeting both as President and Treasurer and Whereas Pete has generously volunteered his time in all parts of his community as a long-time volunteer with the Greenport Fire Department, a founding father of Greenport's Youth Activities Organization and past president and coach of the Greenport Little League and Whereas in addition to his many accomplishments, Pete is a hardworking and loving father and is known to have a tender heart toward his many pets and strays, spending time working with pyrotechnic displays, playing golf and working on the bay and Whereas Pete is a fine example of leadership and has become part of the fabric of Southold Town government and his dedication to the Town deserves the sincere gratitude of those with whom and for whom he has served, now, therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby extends their sincere appreciation and wishes Peter Harris a healthy, happy and prosperous retirement." That is signed by the entire Town Board and the Town Clerk, Betty Neville. PETER HARRIS, HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT: Thank you very much, Scott. This is, I didn't know when this day was going to come and I thought it was going to be, but I guess after this many years in the business, it is going to be hard to actually walk away. My choice, it is best for me, best for my family. But I truly love Southold Town and I wish Mr. Orlando all the success in the world because you are going to need it. 24/7/365, that's all I can say. It is a thankless job. There are many people that I treasured, there are acquaintances that made during the course of the job. There are some (inaudible) out there that no matter what you do, you are never going to be able to do without but I have a great work ethic that was passed on to me through my parents and I felt that I passed it on to both of my children. And again, like I said I am going to miss the camaraderie. This gentleman right here, we both are from different political party's but there was no political party when it came to doing business with Scott Russell. Scott Russell and Pete Harris always tried to do what was best for the citizens of Southold Town. Both of my girls, Joan Sinramm and Loretta Stromsky, you couldn't ask for two better girls to have work for you, to man the office business. My staff, as we speak, our out. Mother Nature, I don't know if they don't want me to go or if they are trying to get me to go but the last week, it's not even winter yet and we are already in our third winter storm. So again, thank you all. It has been a pleasure and quite honestly, I am still looking forward down the road to the day when the new repair shop and storage area, new viewing station become a reality at Highway and thank you all very, very much. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: With all sincerity Pete, it might be better for you and your family but it is not better for Southold Town. I wish you the best of luck in your retirement. Now, Chris, I have to tell you I have never worked with anybody in the Town Board who has such a sense of beliefs that were unwavering. Chris did exactly what he said he was going to do, he was going to run for office, he was going to step in, he was going to make a difference and then he was going to leave. You rarely see that in politics when someone sticks to their words. I have to tell you, his approach to everything, his uncompromising values, at sometimes painful but that is besides the point. He is a real man of integrity, he is almost a paradox because you think about a Republican coming into office and championing property rights, well, Chris was so well-versed on alternative renewable and environmental issues that it was just an absolute honor to work alongside of him on many combinations. Things like the challenge of Plum Island, he was right there through and through. Chris, come on down here. "Christopher Talbot, a most dedicated December 17, 2013 Page 5 Southold Town Board Meeting official of the Town of Southold is retiring public service on December 31, 2013 and Whereas Christopher Talbot has given generously of his time and provided faithful service to the residents of the Town of Southold as Councilman since January 1, 2010 and Whereas Councilman Talbot'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 he has served; now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby expresses its sincere appreciation to Councilman Christopher Talbot for his unselfish and untiring efforts on behalf of the Town and extends their best wishes for the years ahead; and be it further Resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Councilman Talbot and entered into the permanent records of this Town Board meeting." That is signed by the entire Town Board and Betty Neville. Chris, I do want to tell you, you are a better man than me. COUNCILMAN TALBOT: I would just like to comment quickly. I want to thank the residents of the Town who gave me the ability to serve them. Public service is not for everybody, I beg those who do have the initiative to go out there and it because it is very, very rewarding. Being able to serve your fellow residents in town. Things that you can do not just for yourself but for everybody. I want to thank the Board and Supervisor Russell for working with me and putting up with me. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: At this time, I would ask anybody that would like to address the Town Board on the agenda to please feel free at this time.

You can plug the car in, recharge and ready for the next day. The Director of Human Services had a brilliant idea which was if we had the fast charging system when the car came back at noon time, we could reuse the electric car at a cost of 1/10 the cost of a gasoline powered car in activities in the afternoon and then still recharge it and be ready for the next morning and that is the reason for the charging station which will also be compatible with another vehicle when we are fortunate to get a second or third one. And that is the reason. 2013-889 CATEGORY.

Public Hearings Closing Comments SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That completes the agenda. Before we take public comment, I just want to say again for the record that it has been a real honor to serve with Chris. Chris, when he believed in something and he truly believed that was the right way to go, he wouldn't bow to political pressure, public pressure, public sentiment. He stuck to his guns and I think every Town Board needs that. And he brought a lot to this Board. I suspect that Chris believes that some of his work is unfinished, I know he would like to see photovoltaic arrays on all of the buildings of town government etc. And I think it is our job to try to get that work done for him. Thank you Chris. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Yes, thank you Chris. It has been a pleasure working with you. December 17, 2013 Page 42 Southold Town Board Meeting SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment on any issue? Please feel free. ROBERT DUNN: Robert Dunn, Peconic. As rule, I speak from the hip here. Tonight I will read. It has been almost 50 years since taking public speaking in college so after 40 years in the New York City building industry, where public speaking was mostly yelling and four letter words, I want to get this right. Subsequent to the last Board meeting I got an email from someone I respect and trust in part it read, I have received input that your comments at last night's board meeting where taken as negative, inappropriate, threatening and argumentative. Further that the collective view of the Board is rather than us being appreciative of their support, we are continually and very importantly publicly critical of them and the town staff. After reviewing the video, I agree. It would seem the comments made regarding the recent dredging may have been a little strong and in fact, we ought to acknowledge the town and some of its employees efforts. Since I was one of the commenters, I feel it necessary to respond. First and foremost, speaking for myself directly and while I know there are many in the community, there is much appreciation for both the efforts and the resources that have been spent to the benefit of Goldsmiths Inlet and its community by the Board and the town staff. Sadly, this was not said. Inaudible.... as there are stones on the beach but they should never seem negative of the Board or the staff when they are working to our benefit. Additionally, I do not agree with being critical of individuals, either in their absence or in this arena. In fact, I do not agree with the criticism made in general. As I had said before regarding Mr. Richter, his previous efforts during the armament project were critical to its success. In fact, had his efforts to contain the cost not happened perhaps the project itself may not have happened. As I watched from the comfort of my living room window during the colder winter, Mr. Richter was in and out of that water filled pit directing stone placement and yanking geo cloth with the best of them. Hardly an activity that I would imagine in the job description of town engineer. Upon review of that night's tape, it would appear that there was a tag team effort to attack the dredging project and its supervision. Let me assure you, there was not. I was aware that the ladies would be raising some concern and then me but it was not orchestrated. None the less, I am ashamed of its appearance and apologize for my part in it. I have always thought this comment period was the Board's wish to gauge public concerns, I did not wish to abuse it. I stand by my comments as a review for future efforts, not as a criticism of what has been done. I did not deliver them well. I truly appreciate the Board's willingness to listen to community response and even some people's poetry at times. But it is also important to say that it is my belief that the speakers only had good intentions toward the inlet no matter how misguided they may have seemed. Finally, the reports, the recent report speaks of a funnel effect, understand, that funnel aimed at my house, so while I am concerned about the Goldsmiths communities future and well-being this topic hits home directly. I truly believe that less is better in terms of dredging and it would be less costly too. My fears of the outcome have proven to be real and one only need look at the carnage of the west bank during the past week to understand that validity. I will supply some pictures. There are many in our community that have an interest and understanding, perhaps it would be wise to have a meeting of some sort to discuss what direction this could go, in the end, the town would decide. Speaking for myself, I would be happy to meet with anybody at any time for that purpose. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you very much for those comments. We truly appreciate it. The Board's intention all along to work with the community in Goldsmiths.... December 17, 2013 Page 43 Southold Town Board Meeting MR. DUNN: I am sure. But I just (inaudible), those are before, during. All this happened during the last week. Inaudible. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think you are right, we should have a meeting, an informal meeting here at town hall to get all the interests in one room. MR. DUNN: Inaudible. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, thank you. I understand you did the plantings. PETER TERRANOVA: Peter Terranova, Peconic. Gee, I am sorry I missed that session, it sounds like it was a lot of fun. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago.... MR. DUNN: Inaudible. MR. TERRANOVA: I think it was two weeks ago that the town received a final report on E Design Dynamics and you posted it on the website which I think is terrific, gives everyone a chance to look at it. I read it a couple of times and honestly, I have been a critic of E Design Dynamics. It is no secret to the Board, based on some of their past work and reports. However, in looking at this report, I have got to be supportive of what E Design Dynamics put in their report. I thought it was very thoughtful, their recommendations were based on their actual field work and not on any preconceived opinions or assumptions. Regardless of how the Town Board decides to pursue on their report, I believe the contents of the final report should be carefully studied and understood by everyone and everyone concerned with the condition and the future of Goldsmiths Inlet. While I personally would have liked to have seen in their report some analysis of the current depth of the pond, okay, because I believe that has a critical impact on the ecological health of the pond, I realize that more than likely that was not part of their original study. Nevertheless, the analysis of the inlet now and the channel dynamics that was contained in their report I think was quite informative. And I think it will help us better, all of us better understand what is a very complex issue. So my comment related to the final report by EDD is supportive of their work, their final report and I wanted to make the Board aware of my position on that. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you Peter. Would anyone else like to address the Town Board? Please. LORI CONNOLLY: My name is Lori Connolly, I am from Mattituck. In the interests of brevity, I would like to read a prepared statement. I am here today because like thousands of others, I oppose the inhumane proposed deer slaughter proposed by the town. Perhaps those who (inaudible) this ill-advised plan are under the impression that we can see better than we can think. After all, if we show people 3,000 deer carcasses on the 6:00 news and the front page of the paper, it means the politicians are doing their jobs, right? Not so. There are far more efficient, less costly alternatives to this barbaric slaughter. Immuno-contraception and use of the birth control drug PVP are both based on scientific study and have been proven effective in various parts of the country. I urge you to consider these non lethal alternatives. We humans have caused the deer problem by over development and our failure to balance our needs with December 17, 2013 Page 44 Southold Town Board Meeting those of the wildlife around us. Deer do not cause Lyme disease, nor do they cause traffic accidents. And slaughtering the deer will not solve these problems. Furthermore, changing the law to allow hunters to come within 150 feet of residences rather than the 500 feet regulation is a deadly proposition. It is only a matter of time before an innocent bystander is injured or killed. The deer slaughter plan which you have embraced is shameful and shortsighted. It makes me wonder when we will start rounding up and slaughtering those humans who are unable to speak for themselves and who have become inconvenient to our way of life. I urge you to go back to the drawing board, do some research and speak with experts in the field, such as Dr. Tamara Allerbrach of the Harvard School of Public Health, wildlife biologist Laura Smith of the Humane Society United States, Allen (inaudible) of the Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine, Richard (inaudible) and others. These people have been studying the clash between deer and humans for years. Please do your homework on this subject instead of embracing the quick fix offered up by self-serving lobbyists. Thank you for listening. Now I believe that my 10 year old son also has a short comment on this subject. MR. CONNOLLY: The proposal to kill 3,000 deer is disgusting. They live here because we want to be part of nature and wildlife surrounding us. Why should we kill the deer, they didn't do anything but live where they always lived. We learn in school that you should get along with your neighbors, well, the deer are our neighbors, so shouldn't we try to get along with them? My mom says there are other ways to decrease the deer, so why can't we do that? I don't think you should kill them because that is not right. MS. CONNOLLY: Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board at this time? COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Good job standing up there, young man. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. Anybody? JUSTICE EVANS: Happy Holidays to everybody. COUNCILMAN RULAND: To Councilman Talbot, I will probably always call you Councilman, you certainly earned the title, Chris. But it has been a pleasure. It is amazing, one of the things that I still can't do that you can do is read plans upside down. Working with Chris on the proposed highway building, we have been over a number of sets of plans and I can't make heads or tails of them whether they are right side up or upside down. But it was amazing that you were sitting on the opposite side of the table and because of his line of work and dealing with them all the time, he was reading them upside down and speaking like it was first hand and you certainly brought something to the table that is greatly appreciated because I think it is one of the things that makes small town USA so unique in that people from different walks of life can come to the table, pick up a common cause, discuss the issues, come to a consensus and for that again, I would say thank you and also I would say welcome to Councilman elect Bob Ghosio who happens to be in the audience, I look forward to working with you as well. December 17, 2013 Page 45 Southold Town Board Meeting COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to everybody and motion to adjourn?
