This Regular Meeting of the Southold Town Tree Committee was called to order at 7:00 PM at
the Southold Town Annex.
Minutes from the June 22, 2016 meeting were approved. (There was no meeting held in July,
2016).
Discussion Items:
1. Additional copies of the Town of Huntington Code, Chapter 186 "Tree Preservation and
Protection" and Village of Lattingtown Code were distributed to Committee Members to
use as a reference tool. The committee will continue to discuss and put together ideas
toward making recommendations, and to work with the Town Board to help guide the
Town with writing a "Tree" Code for our Town. Dave urged us to take notes after
reviewing these other town's codes so that in the coming months we can have
discussions, taking some ideas from other Towns, and preparing a good submission to the
Board which is a balance of ideas suitable for our Town.
2. The root rot is to be applied now on the trees in Town.
3. The Fall 2016 brochures "Partnering for a Greener North Fork" have been printed and
were distributed to each member. Jill has contacted the Suffolk Times to reserve two
pages in the paper for the Columbus Day weekend. The Committee will now focus on
soliciting local businesses to support us by purchasing a "leaf' which will advertise their
business' donation to the Committee.
4. We reviewed the 2016 Tree List which has been compiled so far for this Fall. Peg
Murphy spoke about the two trees located on Horton's Lane which she would like to see
replaced. The Committee will continue to "scout" out areas in the Town where a"street"
tree would be beneficial.
5. Dave advised the Committee of the increase he submitted to the town for the 2017
Budget.
6. The next meeting of the Tree Committee will be October 26, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in the
Town Annex Board Room.
This meeting was adjourned at 8:04 PM
Respectfully submitted,
