Ii. This Local Law shall take effect upon filing with the Secretary of

* Underline represents additions.

Copies of this Local Law are available in the Office of the Town Clerk to
any interested persons during business hours. Dated: May 14, 1996. Judith
T. Terry, Southold Town Clerk." I have an affidavit of publication in The
Traveler-Watchman, and that it was posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin
Board, and there's correspondence. Ladies and gentleman, let me say from
the onset that I have no opposition to granting property tax relief for
Senior citizens with Iow incomes. However, the question must be looked at
as a larger issue of property tax relief for all groups that have Iow
incomes. Tax relief should be extended from the special interest group of
senior citizens to all residents of Southold Town, that are income
disadvantaged. At the very least tax relief should be extended to
handicapped and disabled home owners, that have Iow incomes. I would urge
the Town Board to include disabled and handicapped homeowners in this tax
relief local law as part of the tax relief that recognizes all needy groups
in Southold Town. Very truly yours, David Corwin. That is it.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: We've heard the reading of the proposed local law.
Is there anyone who would like to address the Board in relation to this
local law? Anyone that would speak either in favor or against?

ED SIECMANN: Ed Siegmann. I'm speaking in behalf of the East End
Senior Citizen Council, and Mattltuck Seniors. Since I made my presentation
to the Board in the Work Session, and since I don~t hear anybody else speak
here I will just be adding to the time of the meeting, if I were to go
further into what I had said at the Board meeting. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Is there anyone else who would like to address
this Local Law? (No response.) Hearing none. the hearing is closed.
