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 September 28, 2016 meeting were approved.
Discussion Items:
1. Dave reported on our fall event: Partnering for a Greener North Fork. This year was
very successful with a total of 79 "leaves"being sold to various local businesses.
2. Dave will contact our accounting department to get an updated balance of the funds
which are currently in the Committee's accounts.
3. Dave reported on the sub-committee meeting which was held with Assistant Town
Attorney, Damon Hagan, on October 13, 2016 toward making progress for input to the
Town in the creation of a Tree Code for Southold. He said that the meeting was very
successful and a good first start.
4. The 2016 Tree List was discussed. Locations for new street tree plantings will be
mapped out and provided to all of the committee for their review and additions. Dave
will send out several bid requests to local nurseries for the planting of the trees. We hope
to be planting about 60 new trees this year and hope to be completed with the plantings
by the very end of November.
5. Discussed the need for the tree in front of liquor store and tree in front of Bridgehampton
National Bank to come down. Dave will speak to Vinnie Orlando. We will drill holes
and apply the root rot to these two trees, as well as the other trees in town which were
removed, and wait for Spring to plant new trees, most likely replacing with a high
branched flowering cherry tree.
6. Jill would like the committee to look at Bray Avenue in Mattituck near the "sump" to see
about planting some trees there.
7. Supervisor Russell attended our meeting to make the committee aware of two sassafrass
frees that are located in front of a home on Wickham Avenue by Wolf Pitt which are
impeding the Town's installation of a sidewalk. The committee members will be looking
at the site and report back.
8. Jay Jansen, Frank Imbriano and Matt Campbell are to begin staking out trees.
9. The next meeting of the Tree Committee will be November 16, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in the
Town Annex Board Room.
This meeting was adjourned at 8:08 PM
Respectfully submitted,
