Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Please rise and join in the Pledge to the Flag. Thank you. At this point I would invite anybody up that would like to comment on any of the specific agenda items? COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Except for the public hearing, right? Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue BENJA SCHWARTZ: With the exception of the public hearing, correct? Good evening, Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue. How are you doing today? you know, I am always confused on whether we should comment on the agendas that occurred this morning but there seems to be a presentation this morning which I missed unfortunately that I am extremely interested in, the Land Preservation Committee overview and I was wondering if anybody wanted to take a minute and let people know what happened and what they learned? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Bill? COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Basically I had asked the Land Preservation Committee to put together some kind of a presentation to the Town Board to describe not so much as what they do but how they do it. And the procedures and the protocols they use in determining whether or not they make recommendations to the Town Board for farmland preservation. So Melissa came down, Sam McCullough wasn't able to make it, he is the Chairperson of the Committee, and gave us about an hour long presentation on how they categorize, how the Committee categorizes and sets criteria to come to the recommendations that they do for the Town Board. This was all in preparation for the Town Board to think about what they do, how the Land Preservation Committee has evolved since the creation of the Committee and the CPF fund and see if there are any adjustments or changes that we would like to make. There will be another presentation in a couple of weeks, maybe a little longer, to go over design criteria and how the Committee looks at design criteria on applications. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 4 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: One of the good things about it was it was a good opportunity to go through the process and maybe look at ways we can improve it, things like that. It is always good to look at processes from time to time. MR. SCHWARTZ: Was there any written material supplied to the Board on that? COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Yes, there was. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If you need copies, I will have them at the office for you tomorrow. MR. SCHWARTZ: I assume it's available by FOIL but... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will have copies ready for you. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, you know what would be really helpful would be if the material could be filed in the Land Preservation Committee folder and that way we could refer to it as needed, without having to chase after it. I am glad you are looking into that and will probably speak more about that since I think we have a Land Preservation resolution on the agenda tonight. Now you use the term farmland preservation but it's really more than just farmland,right? COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Right. It's also open space. MR. SCHWARTZ: Open space as in wilderness, natural areas. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: If those do come up, there's an open space component to it, yes. MR. SCHWARTZ: So open space for people to fill with recreational activities? COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Depending upon the situation, yes. MR. SCHWARTZ: Passive recreation. So it's not just farmland. Okay, that's not on the agenda. Another presentation this morning, speaking of the town's wildlife preserves. The proposal to raise some quail or release some quail, purchase and release some quail. Very much in support of that and I don't think I need to hear all the details but I am curious, was there also any information presented on the accompanying proposal to spray insecticides into the preserved areas? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The cedar oil had already been discussed two weeks prior. We are hoping, if we can, is try to put pilot programs together with regard to tick eradication on hopefully maybe every two weeks, every four weeks as we start developing plans. Obviously, there is no silver bullet here so we are looking at all these different options. MR. SCHWARTZ: I agree with you there, there's no one cure all but there's a lot of things we can do to make the situation worse and I am afraid that the proposal to spray insecticide, even if they are natural or partly natural, you know, if you take something that's natural and process it Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 5 and take it out of place, it is no longer natural. If you take wood chips and spread them on a beach, that introduces all kind of substances, they may be natural but they are not natural to find on a beach, okay, so they don't belong there. So you take a peanut oil product or a synthetic replica of one, and spray it into our wildlife preserves, I don't believe it's natural and I would like to see some evidence that it is effective, that it really is safe. I haven't seen any of that. if you have seen that, then it would be nice to share that. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That's exactly what we are doing. That's inherent to the word pilot, which is what it is. It's designed to be used on one preserve, as a baseline to see if it's successful. We will provide the scientific data as we develop it but it has to come from somewhere and it has to come with a first step and the first step for us is to treat, also let me clarify, we are treating the trails only, we are not treating the entire preserves. We are limiting ourselves to the trails. MR. SCHWARTZ: But it does fly in the face of the advice that the Town Board authorized Committee on tick control was very strong on that point. That they did not believe that that was the way to proceed, even if people do spray on their own private properties that the Town should not engage in that. They didn't consider that you might do a pilot program but let's face it, you know, you are doing it or you are not doing it. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They actually opposed wholesale spraying of entire preserves. They also didn't really evaluate cedar oil at the time, thinking it was too expensive. That's not case anymore. It is expensive but the price is coming down as demand rises. MR. SCHWARTZ: I am a big fan of cedar oil. I use it extensively. I have been using it for years. And used appropriately, I think it's an extremely valuable thing but for the price that we are paying for this pilot program, we could have little jars of cedar oil that people could take and try using it themselves, rather than spraying it all over the trail. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But I think we both allowed the discussion to get away from the agenda, so... MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, that was on the agenda this morning but.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The cedar oil was on two weeks ago. MR. SCHWARTZ: But let's move on then, and the, okay, so there will be a public hearing on the proposal to spend close to $2,000,000 on some farmland development rights, is that tonight or are you just setting the date tonight? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think we are just setting the notice of public hearing tonight. MR. SCHWARTZ: Okay, well I still would like to ask you, before you set the date for that to provide some information because the custom has been to put these things up for public hearing Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 6 without informing the public what the hearing is really about. As you know, you conduct all the preliminary conferences in executive sessions and the public is excluded from that process. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I agree. MR. SCHWARTZ: Before you get to the point where you are going to consider voting to spend the money, it seems to me that the public has the right to at least the information that you have. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Benja, that's why we are setting the public hearing now and that's why we set it 30 days out, we give the public 30 days to come and get the information... MR. SCHWARTZ: But I am asking you to give us the information... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's a fair point, Benja and I will look into it. MR. SCHWARTZ: And one particular part of the information which I have looked into getting in the past and I am sure I can get it, but I am also sure it would take me a long time, you don't like me taking your time tonight, I don't like you taking my time in the summer in the beautiful place we live.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's a fair point. MR. SCHWARTZ: But if we could have the copy of the proposed easement that's going to, that we are paying for, if that could be available and accessible without having to go through a FOIL and somehow people could get there and get it. Okay, thank you very much. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Benja. Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on any of the agenda items? Please. We've moved on Benja, but we will still be here after the meeting is over. Debbie Zuhoski DEBBIE ZUHOSKI: Good evening, how are you? I am Debbie Zuhoski and I have lived in Mattituck for 63 years and I am here this evening because I would like to address the situation with the beaches and the parking stickers. I ran into a situation this weekend, we go to the New Suffolk beach frequently, we have for the past probably 15 or 20 years and I had gotten down there probably about 11:30 this weekend and there was not one place to park. I do have my pass, so I took it upon myself to park in the area where it says 15 minute parking. I called the Southold Town highway and got the traffic control down there because I don't think it's fair that I should get a ticket for parking in a 15 minute parking zone. So I would like to review with you tonight some of the situation down there, this is what I arrived from, with the signs. You can tell me if I am correct or incorrect. The beach attendants are only available on Saturday and Sunday between the hours of 10:30 and 5:00, is that correct? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I believe so, yes. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 7 MS. ZUHOSKI: There's no one there Monday through Friday, so from, if they can come from 8:00 in the morning to 10:30 and park there without a non-resident parking, they will just get a ticket, correct? They fill the parking lot and we have a pass and we cannot park in that parking lot. The lifeguards are on duty 11:00 to 5:00 according to the signs, and at that time they open the public bathrooms. I think the bathrooms should be open much earlier. We are at the beach much earlier, we are paying for the pass and quite honestly, I think the lifeguards should be there too because I think Southold Town is responsible if god forbid, something happens. Let's see, the dog sign. There are two entrances to New Suffolk. There's a walkway and then there's an area at the end of the parking lot that says dead end only. There's no sign about dogs. Actually yesterday, when we were at the beach, we had a pop-up tent set up and somebody came with their dog and say under my pop-up tent. And they came where there's no sign and it was probably around 12:00. Let's see, the day passes. So as far as the day passes go, is it possible for them to get a day pass and park outside the parking lot. Make a restricted where there's 15 minute parking and it's by New Suffolk post office, I don't know why there'd be 15 minute parking by New Suffolk post office but that's where everyone's parking. There was not a parking place to be had, whether it was parking at Legend's, Case's down to the beach there, not a parking place to be had, so I am wondering if we could do something about this. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Actually, we did talk about it today. New Suffolk has a unique situation. It has two of the nicest town assets right next to each other, which is a ramp and the most popular beach. And it is a problem every year, but we did talk about it today, we talked to the Chief about the need for enforcement. What I would ask, if you have specific recommendations, submit them to my office and we will go over them at work session in two weeks and see if there are any viable solutions. MS. ZUHOSKI: Absolutely. We'll get it together. I mean, it's getting worse and worse each year. It's a beautiful place and I am going to tell you, there was probably 300 people on that beach this weekend. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I know. MS. ZUHOSKI: It was crazy. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Exceeding the Suffolk County Department of Health capacity probably. MS. ZUHOSKI: And I need to know, if I am going to get a ticket if I am parking in 15 minute parking? That's really not reasonable. One other thing, that has nothing to do with beaches if I could bring that up really quick, is I have had a problem with a sidewalk in Mattituck. From Pike Street where the American Legion is to Mary's Road. This goes back to Peter Harris days, I had contacted him, they were going to take care of it, take care of it. I also contacted Vinny Orlando last year, he told me it would be put in the budget this year to be replaced. I have a video I would like to email to Southold Town. Part of it is completely sand, it's a disgrace. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Where is the sidewalk? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 8 MS. ZUHOSKI: Right at the memorial, at Pike and Wickham. Where we had the Memorial Day parade, from the corner all the way up to Mary's Road. First he told me Suffolk County was going to take care of it after the water, it is atrocious. I do have a video. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I'll go out and look. I don't mind. MS. ZUHOSKI: It's horrific. If you walk from the bottom to the top to Mary's Road, you have school students traveling that sidewalk most of the time. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I agree. MS. ZUHOSKI: Okay. I appreciate it and thank you for listening. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Joe? Joe Polashock, New Suffolk JOE POLASHOCK: Joe Polashock, I live in New Suffolk. I would like to thank Ms. Zuhoski for doing most of the work for me. I live right across the street from the town beach in New Suffolk, I am a member of the Civic Association and I can verify every word she said about the weekend. Horrific, no place to park, a lot of places you could barely get out of your driveway. Both sides of the street, I mean the off-side of First Street on Bacon's side there, I can't fathom why that is not a restricted parking area or at least parking by permit, I mean, why do you have an open street, open parking next to a controlled parking lot or quasi-controlled parking lot? Yesterday being, or Monday actually was the day, the 3' , I kind of figured that was going to be a dead day, that was a surprise. I physically walked down and counted, from First Street to Second Street, there were over 125 people, that's not counting the people that were in the water. So again, getting into that Suffolk County Health Department thing, that's ludicrous. I mean, how do we, who do we complain to, how do we complain to somebody about that, that we can get something done? And the dogs, I, you know, there are not supposed to be dogs on the beach when the lifeguards are there, period. Who controls this? We pass laws that we don't enforce. The pick-up law, forget about it, it's a disgrace. You go down there when there's nobody there after a tide or a wind, you can go down there with a bag or a shovel and spend an hour cleaning up after these people. And the majority of them don't live here. Go look at the stickers in some of these windows or the license plates, they are from out of town or out of state, they are from everywhere but here. We pay for this and we can't enjoy it. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Is that for day passes? The out of town? MR. POLASHOCK: No, no pass, no nothing. Out of towners. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No stickers? MR. POLASHOCK: No stickers, no nothing. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 9 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, that's something we can do something about and we did talk about that. MR. POLASHOCK: And again, why do we have to call and complain? We have the TCO's, we have the Police, why can't they come down and cruise and not have to explain what the problem is. They have got to be able to see this. Now, the people that park there, they don't belong there. and how do we get them out? Do we tow them, can we do something? Anything, please? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We talked about that today. This Board agrees 100 percent. We did talk to the Chief about enforcement. Councilman Dinizio put the idea on table that we could rely on our code enforcement officer, who is authorized to write tickets. Things got a little bit stressed last weekend because of a couple of events. But we do have more people, more resources that we need to refocus and commit to that. That was a problem not just there but Kenney's, McCabe's, Goldsmith's. It was a problem throughout the entire town. MR. POLASHOCK: You know, we spent the money, we put up the dispenser for the poo bags and stuff for people to pick up after their animal. I will say that's one thing, people that come out from the city are a little more responsive to that. A lot of the people that bring their animals down to the beach, they don't care. They just don't want them to do it in their backyard and cleanup after them, so they just walk by and kick sand over it, so somebody else can enjoy it. The whole thing, it's reprehensible. It really has to be dealt with seriously. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, I agree. Ed McDonald, Mattituck ED MCDONALD: My name is Ed McDonald and I live in Mattituck. My main complaint is just the bathrooms at the beach. We pay taxes based on a year-round fiscal year. My wife walks the beach, we go to the beach in the morning, you know, why can't we give the key to the local sector car? Why can't he open the bathroom? Vandalism is going to take place after 4:00. Why can't we open the bathrooms at 8:00 when the guy comes on duty? You know, we go to the beach in the morning, we read the newspaper, we have a cup of coffee, we have to go to the bathroom. Do we have to go to Legends or the post office to use the bathroom or drive back home to Mattituck? You know, we pay for the permit, we pay for our property taxes and it's to the point where it's almost inexcusable. You have a sector car that works the area, I know they are going to say it's not his responsibility but open the door, put the lock on. The kids are off, they are not going to vandalize, they people are there, the neighbors are there, at night is when you are going to have kids do stupid things. So lock the door when the lifeguards get off. But at least open it early, so we have access. I go down there, I see Jack McGreevy down there, we have coffee down there in the morning but he says the same thing, where are we going to go to the bathroom? Why can't we just... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You can. It's the first time I've ever had a request to open the bathrooms earlier... MR. MCDONALD: Really? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 10 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Literally tonight. It's a fix that we can.... MR. MCDONALD: It's a big thing year-round. She walks from Mattituck to the beach and there's nothing worse than walking to Legends or Summer Girl or someplace else. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We can figure out how to get that done. MR. MCDONALD: Yeah,there's got to be an easier way. Alright,thanks. UNIDENTIFIED: Just here to echo what he said. Walking down there I see Jill a lot there also, so that would be very helpful, even in the off season. You know, if we pay for the pass for the year, why not have them open, you know, even for a short time in the morning. Have someone unlock it and then lock it, you know. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think we, I think Councilwoman Doherty had proposed extending last year and it was extended, so if we need to tweak that some more, that's fine. We'll figure something out. UNIDENTIFIED: Okay, and there was a picture, there was a car parked there with a Connecticut license plate and it had the sticker in the window, taped on the dashboard and it had a completely different license plate number and I know traffic control was there yesterday and just probably did not pick that up. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If it was in the window, the ticket should have been written anyway because it specifies in the code where the sticker needs to be placed. UNIDENTIFIED: There's work to be done and we appreciate you listening to us. Cindy Pumillo, Cutchogue CINDY PUMILLO: Hello, my name is Cindy Pumillo, I live in Cutchogue. First I want to thank the town because I recently had a family member that became disabled. They are losing their ability to walk, the only way they can get down to the beach now is with a beach wheelchair. I don't know if you've seen a beach wheelchair and the size of a beach wheelchair, the tires alone, the width of the chair is probably the width of two chairs here. So I called the town and they were gracious enough, they did put another handicap parking space there. However, I went down there to use the beach, to get in the parking spot to help unload the beach wheelchair. On the other side there was a person with a handicap sticker but no parking sticker, no beach sticker. Parked there all day long. So for me to try to unload this beach wheelchair, I have nowhere to go, then I have nowhere to park. And on the one side, where you pull in by the dead end, there's 15 minute parking by resident only. I don't understand why that would be 15 minute in the beach parking lot, it's not like you are walking to the post office. Who is going to do something there for 15 minutes? You could realistically make one of those side things a handicap one also or just a couple of extra spots. I know the access to Mr. Bacon's gates are there and we cannot block it, nor should we. So I want to thank you for getting me the handicap spot and anyone else that needs it. However, we are running out of room because there is no Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 11 parking. Another thing, day passes. I don't think New Suffolk beach should allow day passes. We don't have the capacity down there for these people to come in, park there and then we can't park. Another thing, Saturday I went to Summer Girl and there was a car there with a family, all beach toys in the back, I went into Summer Girl and I was talking to the owner. She came out, they were blocking her entrance to go upstairs, so she couldn't get out. When she finally did get out, they were sitting on her bench, in front of her store, parked in front of her store, unloading all the sand toys, pouring all that out. You know, it's just not fair to them and to Legends. You know, you go to have lunch there, you pull in and there's people parking there walking to the beach and stuff. What was the other one, day passes, 15 minute parking, really, that sign should be changed. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. MS. PUMILLO: Try to make spots out of it. And attendants, I don't know why we don't have attendants Monday through Sunday. Is it not in the budget or.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, to be honest, historically we didn't need them beyond the weekend but now we are learning that we do. So, again, if you give me the punch list and we will go over them one at a time at the next work session and I, come in before about asking that the beach bathrooms be open earlier, I don't remember, Jill might remember it. I remember the discussion being open until later in the season, which I know we did and if there is an issue that you want them open earlier, put them on a punch list, we will go over them one at a time in two weeks. Bt I have to tell you, New Suffolk is a very difficult, I am not saying we can't try, it's a very difficult problem to solve. Because a lot of the no parking, parking by permits, they have all come out of past experience. And every time that we do propose one, we have one group that opposes it and one group that supports it. Very difficult to manage traffic and parking in a hamlet that just has none. It's become very difficult. MS. PUMILLO: Okay, I totally agree Scott. Totally. But also, there has got to be signs put up where that dead end sign is. No dogs, the whole thing. What's on the other side should be on both sides because they just walk down with their dogs and think nothing of it. And then if you go to say something, it could get ugly. And whose responsibility is it, if they have a dog on the beach, to tell the people to come off? Whose responsibility is it? Is it the lifeguards? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would hate to put them in that position. I would think they know the rules and at least politely ask, and if they don't get cooperation, to contact the police department and the TCO. MS. PUMILLO: Maybe we can get some signs and put it on the attendant booth? Like how much for a day pass, I think increase the day pass to $50. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are at $40 now. MS. PUMILLO: $25. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 12 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well,that can go up. MS. PUMILLO: I think increase it and I am the one, that took the picture, it was today, when I went down to the beach. I am starting to get crazy, maybe you might want to hire me during the summer, I would love to do it but right now I have someone at home that needs me a little bit more, you know, going around, checking the cars for stickers. And it was a Connecticut license plate, it said ABC123, the sticker said, DEF456. So, you know, I am sure it was a family member visiting, however.... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Is that in the windshield or on the car? MS. PUMILLO: No, this is in the windshield. This is the license plate, it's not a day pass. It's somebody else's sticker. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: It's a resident sticker. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, they are not supposed to have it there, so that's a ticket in and of itself. MS. PUMILLO: Well, alright, I totally hear you on that. But it was someone else's sticker. And then something else on stickers, maybe can we update, start getting with the times, instead of having to place it on the bumper. Let's get some new stickers so we can put in our windshield, because I want to be honest with you, I just bought a brand new car, I don't want to stick that sticker on my car. And there have been times people's stickers have been stolen. And I know they say to put them on the back of the window but then there's an obstruction thing there so if not, maybe on the side window... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Just so you know though, we need to focus on more enforcement to get out there but you also need to set yourself up so you can enforce as quickly as possible, if a TCO is going to be walking the parking lot, it's going to take him a lot longer than driving through looking for the stickers. MS. PUMILLO: Well, I think it's taking a long time now because they have got to sit around and people put them on different sides of the bumper. If it's in the windshield, it's in the windshield. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If it's in the windshield, they need to get out of the car and look at it. But if it's where it's supposed to be on the bumper, that's the first indication. UNIDENTIFIED: Inaudible. MS. PUMILLO: No, the TC guys have been great. They've been going, checking, nothing against the TC or... Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 13 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: If it was in the window, it should have generated a ticket regardless of what it said. MS. PUMILLO: Right, but I don't think anybody was there today and there was no attendant, so you guys lost money on a ticket there. And I don't know if I can bring this up now but I hear you are going to want to change from when you issue the stickers from May 1 St to October 31St That's what I am hearing, is that correct? COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: That's the public hearing that's on tonight. MS. PUMILLO: Oh, so I am not supposed to talk about it now? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You can talk about it. We are going to go to the hearing shortly, so you can talk about it then. MS. PUMILLO: Okay, well, it might be past my bedtime. I have somebody I have to take care of. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You can talk now if you are in support of. MS. PUMILLO: I will talk real quick. I am not in support of it unless, what are we going to get from that for those extra 30 days in May? Are the bathrooms going to be open, why should the tax payers that are here year-round have to make sure they have a ticket now my May 1 St? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: This is the thing.... MS. PUMILLO: Wait a minute, Scott. And then to go to October 31 St, everybody after Labor Day, the kids are back in school, everybody hopefully is doing their thing now. September is the time for us to go down and enjoy where it's not crowded. You know, we paid for our May 31" to Labor Day weekend. Just leave it as it is. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The thing is that the very reason we are doing that is because people that live near beaches say we can't access the beaches because the season has expanded so much that your historic, you know, either your booking Memorial Day to Labor Day whatever it is, isn't enough because we have people using the beaches, you know, they don't have stickers, they need stickers. We need to start bringing some management to that. so the reason for that was, you know, we have shoulder seasons here and residents are entitled to the beaches in those shoulder seasons, rather than being eclipsed by everybody that wants to go to them because they don't need stickers anymore. So that's a tough, you know, we are trying to manage it, believe it or not, to the benefit of the residents. It's, that was a request from other residents that said, look, the weekends, it doesn't end at Labor Day anymore. We can't use out beach, the second, third, fourth week of September because these people don't need stickers anymore. So, you know, we are trying to balance this all out. MS. PUMILLO: Well, come September they are going to go to the vineyards, thank god, they are going more to the vineyards, pumpkins, getting cauliflower... Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 14 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It wasn't meant to regulate locals, it was meant to manage a resource better for the locals. MS. PUMILLO: Alright, well, I just had to say that. But again, thank you for the handicap spot. Hopefully we can work on getting New Suffolk beach taken care of. Thank you.

Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 36 III. EFFECTIVE DATE This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided by law. I do have an affidavit that this has been noticed on the town clerk's bulletin board and also an affidavit that this was published and noticed in the Suffolk Times. That's all I have. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody like to address the Town Board on this local law? Robert? Robert Dunn,Peconic ROBERT DUNN: Robert Dunn, Peconic. I really wasn't going to talk on this, I was going to let it float but I heard a lot of comments previously and I guess those people didn't understand that there would be more time for it, they all left. I think it's a good idea, I mean, there's, it gets crazy and people think Labor Day ends, it doesn't. Labor Day starts another season, the wine people and all those people are down at the beach. And you know, it's a little thing, we can go out to the vineyards and then we go to the beach,the limos and all those things. As far as anyone who finds it inconvenient to have to get a sticker that previously didn't get a sticker, I was remiss this year and didn't get around to buying my sticker until today. I mean, if$10 is going to break you, I think it's ridiculous that they are so cheap to begin with. I mean, this rule is good. It's the right thing to do. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's the same price for the sticker, we are just, we are adding the requirement. MR. DUNN: It's the same sticker. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's the same sticker. Just earlier in the year and later in the year. MR. DUNN: Well, I almost got the feeling that one person speaking was saying, you know, it's putting an additional onus on her now that she needs a sticker after Labor Day, almost as if she never had a sticker before. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There might have been some misunderstanding... MR. DUNN: I thought so but the bottom line on this is it's only going to protect the residents. Now, if you never get a sticker, it's probably going to upset your apple cart a little bit but in the big picture, it's the right thing to do. I am going to talk again later about the beach. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Robert. We had actually, this had actually been a request that came from residents, that very reason. They said, look, bring some more management to this because it doesn't start at Memorial Day anymore and it certain doesn't end at Labor Day. Our intent was actually help residents and that might have been misconstrued. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 37 MR. DUNN: Most of us understand that. John Betsch, Southold JOHN BETSCH: John Betsch, Southold. The Memorial Day date was a problem, the police explained to me just one part, it was a problem to them, they could not enforce it until Monday because the sticker didn't go into effect until the Monday of Memorial Day. So they had issues all Saturday and Sunday, so this is one little side piece. Just a few comments about tonights suggested change. It's kind of obvious that Southold has been discovered by both wanted and unwanted visitors. We are starting to boom here and no longer can the existing enforcement policies and practices be done as they were done presently. We now need, in my opinion, 24 hour enforcement. The growing issues of enforcement are beyond the capability of the enforcement methods. Whether it's a staffing issue or whether it's the people who are authorized to give tickets don't have the interest in doing so. The people who can give tickets are the TCO's, the patrolmen, code enforcement and the bay constables. They all can give tickets. I don't necessarily, people who are at the beach see that happening by all those people. Help is needed and we need new thinking. The Town of Huntington had similar issues with their parks and the Town of Huntington now has armed park rangers in place. Their task and I will read a quote, `maintaining the peace and good order of the community, including parks, beaches and other recreational activities of the town' they were put in place last year, they are considered peace officers, they are armed. They patrol all their beaches and apparently it is working. It might be a concept worthwhile investigating here. The date change for tonight's hearing is really a mini baby step towards a solution. There are many required changes necessary, as far as I am concerned. New thinking is needed and we really need to start thinking about it now, not waiting until next summer to start doing it. This issue was investigated during the winter and it has taken until now to start moving along, we really have to address it. I don't think we can let this issue start to ruin the quality of life of the present residents. Past NYPD Commissioner Bratton had a policy of broken windows enforcement and I think that might be a policy that may be worthwhile here... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You mean go out and break people's windows if they don't have stickers? MR. BETSCH: Doing things that are a deterrent of more serious crimes. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I get it. I get it. MR. BETSCH: And finally, we need at least to have parody with surrounding towns regarding permit policies, permit costs, fines. People come from neighboring towns here because we are more accommodating. The residents really deserve as much, they really do. As far as the dates of Memorial Day, people who choose to leave, I don't know whether they understand it, there is more than one beach other than New Suffolk. The Greenport beach is taken over in the fall because there's no permits required. The scalloping season, out-of-towners just come in and take over. That might be, as far as I am concerned, a very parochial point of view and they should have stayed to listen to the public hearing to hear everything else. We can, everybody can present all the garbage and all the stuff that's going on with the beach permits, this is the first Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 38 step of a lot of things that have to happen and I hope the Town takes it seriously to address many changes to do with this whole policy. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: What I am going to ask the Board to do is considering having a special meeting of the Town Board next week, a work session and a formal meeting, to discuss solely issues with regard to beach management and enforcement. The, we have issues with stickers enforcement, we have issues with night fishing, we have so many different issues out there; if we were to wait for two weeks and I know I had asked her for the punch list but if in retrospect, if we were to wait two weeks we are already two thirds of the way through July. Anything that we need to implement could theoretically take another two weeks to four weeks if it needs a public hearing, so I think we need to focus our efforts in one meeting, discussing all of those different issues with regard to the beaches. I have to tell you, it leads the pack in terms of calls I get, particularly night fishing as well. MR. BETSCH: I think it would be to have a lot of the principals there. Have a couple of TCO's there to give their point of view, have some patrolmen, have the beach constables there. People who come to the beach, we live close to beach, we can see what happens and it's not pretty. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think it deserves its own meeting. MR. BETSCH: Thank you. Joe Polashock JOE POLASHOCK: I think you are absolutely right. Joe Polashock again. I would like to reinforce everything he said. The only thing about this whatever date thing, beyond Labor Day, Memorial Day, scallop season is and sea duck hunting is in my face, I am the squeaky wheel, I probably make more phone calls from New Suffolk to the police department about parking and other nonsense stuff. But, we can't go anywhere, we can't go to Riverhead, we can't go to the south shore without having to pay exorbitant, non-resident fees. These guys come in, they use the ramps and park their boat trailers all over, wherever they see fit. Wherever the truck rolls to a stop, they park. And I understand the trailer parking in New Suffolk is supposed to be a 12 month deal, why are non-residents allowed to come in there? Why are the guys from Aquebogue and Riverhead allowed to come in and short cut their trip down the bay? I am sorry for them, if they like to go scallop, they have to do it another way. Let them make the trip from home. And the same with the sea duck hunters, they come out there, they have got trailers that take up three spaces and they are halfway across Jackson Street. We've gotten them a couple of times before you guys moved the one officer out of New Suffolk. He used to get him for obstructing traffic. It's ludicrous. The whole thing. We can, and again, the fact that you can't go anywhere in the county, the townships without getting whacked with non-resident fees, it's brutal what we allow here. And the commercial guys that use the ramps, that put the boats in the water. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Jill had proposed a permit for commercial operators and we actually discussed restrictions such as resident only on the boat ramps. That is stuff that all certainly needs to be talked about, which is why it needs its own meeting. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 39 MR. POLASHOCK: Thank you. Thank you. We need it desperately, I don't know what suggestions you guys are getting but we can come up with a list, for sure. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You know, the thing is we are starting to question why we should even allow anybody but residents to use the boat ramps. They are expensive to begin with, also, there are ramps now, people from the public have other options. We have the DEC ramp in Greenport where the Seafood Barge used to be, if the ramp is in yet, I don't know. We have a ramp up on Naugles Drive where the tank farm used to be, so there is public, outside of Southold, with access to both the bay and the sound. On the commercial side, Jill had proposed assigning a fee to the commercial (inaudible) obviously you want to restrict it to local... MR. POLASHOCK: Yeah,that's how I think it should be. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think that should all be part of a meeting we should have. MR. POLASHOCK: Yeah, I mean, you have got guys coming down from Seaford, all over. The other day I took a picture, the guy put a 37 footer in. It's way over what it's supposed to be, I don't know, it's 32 feet the limit on the ramp. This thing was 37 feet. And he's there, he's gone. Unless there's a cop sitting there, there's nobody no way could have ever seen anyone. He backs down the ramp, pulls the plug, the boat's gone, he's gone and you are sitting there looking at the sky. But in the meantime,they are tearing everything up while doing it. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, you are right. MR. POLASHOCK: Thank you for your time. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We'll set up the meeting and we'll go over these issues. There's quite a few issues all geared towards managing of the beaches. The enforcement issues, it really has to be taken up on its own. Paul Cassiopo PAUL CASSIOPO: Paul Cassiopo,New Suffolk. I have been hearing what's been going on and living in New Suffolk, I've been seeing what's going on but I think there's something that's starting to happen now that's really worse than all this and that is the increase in traffic that's been happening, not only this particular four or five days but weekends in particular. Seeing it building and building. Now what I am noticing, there are accidents happening in New Suffolk, which I really never saw, in the heart of the village, we had one yesterday where a girl shot across Second Street with a car coming from the direction of Legends with two young kids, she crashed right into him. Luckily no one got hurt. Cars were really beat up, there was a third car involved that was hit that was parked and these types of things never happened before. When the cops questioned her, she said I didn't see the stop sign. How could she not see the sign on Second Street? It's big as day, there's really nothing blocking it. Whether she wasn't paying attention, other young people were in the car with her. It's something that seems to be happening now that never happened before and particularly the weekends, the spaces on the side streets get smaller and smaller because cars need to park somewhere. It's difficult to work their Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 40 way through the village itself in that area. I don't know what the answer is, except to try and control what's going on down there. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on this particular local law? Benja Schwartz BENJA SCHWARTZ: Benja Schwartz, briefly, getting back to the topic of this particular hearing,just a quick question. So if you do adopt this proposed revision of time frame, what is it going to mean? Basically you are saying we are going to have six months of required permits and six months not, so it will be 50/50. But what about on the days, May 1" and on November 1St, will permits be required on those days? I am confused by the language here. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Are you really talking on May 1 and November 1, are the permits required on those days? MR. SCHWARTZ: Yes, isn't that what the hearing is about? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, it is but I think that's getting into the weeds a little bit. MR. SCHWARTZ: It's a fine point but it's the point of the, this hearing, is the time and will they... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's something I will defer to counsel. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, the language does not make it clear and I think we will have problems applying it unless it says beginning on the, and ending on the, it just says between these two days. So it doesn't say if it includes those two days or not. It's a simple, grammatical problem. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We appreciate it, thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this particular local law? Councilwoman Jill Doherty COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: I just want to say, with this discussion here, when we published this I wanted to include a couple of other things but I definitely agree with you that we need to have a separate meeting to include all of the issues on this and like John Betsch said, this is a small change and I think we could have done a little more with this but you know, baby steps. We need to really start taking this seriously because we are getting an influx out here and every beach is just over-crowded and we have health department regulations that we really have to start thinking about and taking seriously, the garbage and everything, so I am glad we are definitely for having a conversation next week and keeping it rolling. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Any other comments? Do we want to table this or take a vote? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 41 Councilman William P. Ruland COUNCILMAN RULAND: I don't see any reason to delay, this because as Jill said, some of this is a compromise from an earlier discussion, I think more change is in the works, not only from the people who spoke just about beach parking but sticker parking is going to become an issue in our near future throughout the town, in the upland parking areas. They are all going to have to be regulated, people are not going to like change but the residents deserve the first chance at parking and I know we have discussed this at the transportation commission, we have an inventory of all our town parking facilities and changes are coming and when they come, I think we are going to need public input as well but I think people have to understand, to a gentleman's words, we have been discovered. There's no question we have been discovered and how we deal with what we have is very important going forward. We know that it could get worse. It's bad enough now but it could get worse and I certainly would vote on this because it's a step in the right direction. I think that, given the cost of the sticker, it seems to me that you could purchase your sticker in January and it's good for the whole year and that's where it's going to end up, I know that's where it is going to end up but I certainly support this and I will vote on this tonight. This public hearing was closed at 8:33 PM. RESULT: CLOSED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: William P. Ruland, Councilman SECONDER:Jill Doherty, Councilwoman AYES: Dinizio Jr,Ruland, Doherty, Ghosio, Russell ABSENT: Louisa P. Evans Closing Comments Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, what we will do is I will do the email thing with them, set a meeting next week where they might be available for a meeting and also, John, are you going to be around? Can you get some people from parks and rec there as well? We will include you in the email and set something up. Would anyone like to address the Town Board on any issue? Anne Murray,East Marion ANNE MURRAY: Yes, I would. I am Anne Murray from East Marion. I came to talk again about the Lavender farm, first I want to say thank you very much for the extra enforcement we had out there last weekend and the 0' of July. It was a big relief to see that emergency vehicles could get through and there was no parking on the Main Road. I think up to where the Fork and Anchor is or a little past that, which was much better than last year. However, I did want to mention a few things. I did get some emails and some calls from East Marion residents complaining they had trouble getting out of Gillette Drive, Pebble Beach Farms. I believe also the, Jill, the one south of the Lavender farm? What is that development called? It just went out of my brain. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Gardiners Bay? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 42 MS. MURRAY: Gardiners Bay, thank you. Too many phone calls. Anyway, we have had a bit of an issue, some people waited 20 minutes to get from Manhasset Avenue to the Lavender farm going east. It didn't seem too bad going west, so just a, you know, in thinking about it and this is just my own recommendation, it's not from EMCA. But I think we really need to start thinking about having people that have these kinds of farms force them to do off-sight parking. I got a call today from the Wall Street Journal and they are doing a story about the Lavender farm. The last thing we need is more people coming to the Lavender farm, so just be aware of that. We all know the town is becoming more and more popular. The people coming out, you know, they are going to bring a single car, they are not going to carpool. Where are we going to put these cars? There's just no room for them. There's no room for them on the beaches, there's no room for them on residential streets, there's just no room for them. So it's just a suggestion, I know, Scott, we talked about the owner looking into off-site parking, I don't know if it happened, it didn't happen. I think it should happen in the future. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would agree. But the 100 new parking spaces, the Chief said it did make a difference in accommodating most of the traffic going there but it was the in and the out that... MS. MURRAY: Right. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And I think we really need to mandate somehow someway, I don't know what our legal options are but insisting on off-site parking next year. it might not work a lot the first year because it does take time to change people's minds... MS. MURRAY: I agree. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But every year we are going to say it's not going to work right away, maybe some way we can maybe impose it next year and at least get the ball rolling. MS. MURRAY: If there was the space to put a right hand and left turn there, it would be okay but there isn't any room. And it's not for the town to do that, it's the state, correct? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Actually the guy from News 12 asked me yesterday about widening the road and has the DOT been contacted, I said the Transportation Commission might have talked to them but I don't know... MS. MURRAY: Right. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But I did tell him, look, we'll put every idea on the table but said road widening has its own problems, eminent domain, loss of character but he mentioned during the new cast, that widening the road, that somehow, someway that we wanted the DOT to widen the road and we never contacted them. No, no, no, I never said widen the road. I don't know that it will solve much by simply expanding shoulders. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 43 MS. MURRAY: Right. I also wanted to mention that I was talking to one of the Orient fire commissioners who said they had three ambulance calls this weekend and they were slowed down, they were able to get through but they were slowed down. They had some concern about that,just so you know. You'll probably hear about that later on. But in general, I wanted to say thank you, we did have a great sense of relief this weekend, that it wasn't the hell that we went through last year and hopefully that it won't be again, not just for the Lavender farm but other venues as well. And there will be other venues to come, people are buying up farmland like crazy these days and who knows what they are going to do with it. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right. MS. MURRAY: You know, agri-tainment is the future and we could have a lot more of this popping up but I don't know where we are going to put these people. But we have to start thinking about it. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. I will tell you that the police chief is keeping track of all the costs for the enhanced policing at the site and we do intend on submitting a bill to the landowner and certainly we are hoping for good faith he will pay it but right now the code does not require anything but let's see what kind of cooperation we get, if we don't, then I think we need to revisit the code and require reimbursement to the taxpayers for any enhanced policing by any private function, regardless of the function. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Can I comment? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I just want to comment on this one. That Lavender farm, I was on the ZBA when we granted that and at the time, we were granting farm stands and what we looked at was, you know, that 20x20 foot building that was a farm stand. And there was, to her credit, one ZBA member that said we should require a traffic study and we all kind of said, well, why for a farm stand? Well, we never thought that a farm stand would be 10 acres of land that you would be spreading out. You know, you think of a farm is you are picking potatoes. The potatoes come in and you might sell your potatoes at the farm stand, so no one ever thought that 10 acres of people would be required for him to do his business, so I think in the agri- entertainment business, we are a little bit wiser now. Certainly I know our Planning Board is and our Zoning Board. They have learned their lessons from this. you know, I think honestly the traffic wasn't nearly anywhere near as bad as it was last year and I always, when I observed it, I thought that everybody coming out of that farm should be making a right hand turn. If they have to go down to the causeway to turn around, then so be it. That was what was holding everybody up on the east side all the way down to Moore's Lane or in my understanding, down to Albertson Lane. So, you know, we have learned. Scott and the Chief did a wonderful job of getting that plan, we got 100 extra spaces. That seems to be working, so little by little. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I will say that overall, I have never seen traffic like this in the past weekend in the whole town. I drove through from Aquebogue to Greenport and then up to the Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 44 Lavender Farm to see what was going on and as bad as the traffic was there, going from Greenport into East Marion, the approach from Southold was very bad and from Jamesport to Mattituck all the way until I got on the four lane highway, there was no relief. You had that stretch of the four lane highway and that was it, and that was pretty crowded but you could move. But once you go back down to the two lanes, it was incredible. It was very busy this weekend, I had never seen it that bad. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's crazy, absolutely crazy. Robert Dunn MR. DUNN: As a follow up to that, which I wasn't going to comment on, but doesn't that begin to become, activities that get that broad,become a public nuisance? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Public health, safety and welfare are concerns, without a doubt. MR. DUNN: Well, the definition I have here of a public nuisance and that condition or thing that is illegal because it interferes with the rights of the public generally. So, I mean, if you are doing something, you become a public nuisance. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The problem is, you have to read right next to that, New York State ag code that finds it as bona fide agricultural practices. The old intent of Ag and Markets is to balance that. Recognizing the need to protect the public and at the same time for an agricultural operation to pursue its profits, so it's a tough call trying to balance a couple of goals and issues here. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: To his credit, he gave a hundred spaces. MR. DUNN: I am sorry? COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: To his credit, he gave us 100 spaces. He is learning as well as we are. MR. DUNN: Okay.' SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: With over an acre out of production. MR. DUNN: I am just making a point that I had thought, one of my neighbors had complained about being caught out there. But what I wanted to talk about, last week, last meeting, I had raised a number of issues regarding the beach and I said I was going and I didn't get around to all of them because I had (inaudible) on a few. I don't know if I am the only one that notices this but we have three ice cream trucks that visit our neighborhood, do we regulate them at all? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Peddlers permit through Southold Town Clerk's office. MR. DUNN: Okay, so then we can put rules for that permit, correct? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 45 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Correct. TOWN CLERK NEVILLE: They are handed the code... MR. DUNN: Okay, now I understand it, like when I get my beach pass, I get a little, okay. Are they given a time limit on those (inaudible) at all? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can't speak to it, I don't know the code on that. MR. DUNN: Okay, here's the problem. We have got three trucks, they all come at least three times a day on the weekend like we have got now, then we go in the parking lot and park. Five, six, eight, ten minutes. They leave the bells running, that's three trucks, 30 minutes, four times a day. Two hours a day, I have got to listen to ice cream bells. I live there. They are in your parking lot or the town's parking lot. I am sure the same thing happens by you and the ball fields and anywhere else they go. There's no reason for them to continue with those bells when they have a line outside their truck. Now, I know they do in the city and I am sure they do in other municipalities, they can be forced, by all means, ring your bell when you come but then turn them off because there are people that live there that don't want to listen to bells for two hours a day in their living room and that's their right. So I am throwing this out for you to think about, I don't expect you to come back... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: What I find astonishing, is they always seem to find where my son is at any given moment and they find him, bells and all. MR. DUNN: Well, you get my point, right? The dog issue on the beach, we may have to revisit it. The problem is not the dogs, it's the pigs they bring with them. And now I live at the beach that they are allowed to come to, when you told them that they couldn't go to the other beaches, they found out they could come by me. And now I am fine with dogs on the beach, once again, it's the pigs they bring with them. They aren't cleaning up and if you live in one of those places. I mean, you can only go so far. You have given them a dog run, you've given them a law that I think is very loose and that's fine, I love watching the dogs run on the beach. it's cool, they don't have to be on the leash, it doesn't bother me. I mean, when the people are there, they have to be (inaudible). When I see someone down there, with a dog running around, I like it but they are not cleaning up. This week at 6:00 on Saturday morning, someone came down to the beach with a dog and her four kids, 6:00. Tied the dog to a beach chair and proceeded to play in the water. What do you think the dog did? It did it for 20 minutes. And then she heard from a crazy old man, who is crazy enough I guess, he drove them from the beach. But maybe a flag up to them people that if behavior continues, like that, and if they are not going to clean up after their dogs, then there will be no dogs on the beach at all. I don't think it's really nice to the dogs but people have to be responsible to it and I don't want to see having to revisit that either but there has got to be a solution to this. That's it. Thank you. Allison Skrezec Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 46 ALLISON SKREZEC: Good evening, Allison Skrezec, Orient. I would like to know if it's true that our police department may soon be accredited? As of September 2017, is the process going to be started? That's what I saw in the police advisory.... COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, we are going to start the process. MS. SKREZEC: Okay. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: There were some manpower issues that we needed to accomplish in the budget and it takes about a year and half to complete. That whole process. We found that so far, it has to be a police officer that does it. MS. SKREZEC: Yes. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: We are working through it, at the committee. It is something I certainly want to have happen. MS. SKREZEC: I know you do, Jim. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: That should happen... MS. SKREZEC: And so do I. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: But it's not, we are looking in September or October but that's because the Chief just doesn't have the time right now. as you can see, we are running around with, you know, MS. SKREZEC: Right. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And he thought he could at least try to address it during the budget process and then in November let's get going on this thing and see how far we can go. MS. SKREZEC: Okay. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Again, things come up. He is down a few police officers now, some guys are retiring, so he has got to do hiring. You know, it's never ending but it's a priority that I have and he does too. And the committee does. MS. SKREZEC: Okay, your website, the police website. I really can't get any information there. There seems to be nothing on there, compared to the Suffolk County Police website. That's very helpful to a community member. There's a lot of resources on there, there's a list of all, not all, of the policies and procedures that go on with the police but several that I would like to know, in the community. On our website, I see a nice picture of Chief Flatley, I see a link to forms and it's to the DMV, the sex offender registry, three or four about watercrafts and the laws pertaining to boats. When I look at the, I am just going to refer to the Suffolk County police Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 47 website, I have looked at several others, but I will just refer to this one, they do have a list of links that you can go on for policies in their department. I don't see anything like that on ours. I wouldn't know where to go. I don't know who our police commissioner is, I know who our Chief is. Are each and every one of you are a police commissioner or is it just you, Mr. Russell? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's a Board of six. All six of us. MS. SKREZEC: So it's everybody, okay. Well, where do we find these policies? COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Allison, because I noticed the same deficiency, that's the reason I came to the same conclusion that we need this accreditation because that's exactly what it looks at. MS. SKREZEC: Right. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Not only that but all of those procedures, like we just went through one down in Greenport about how the police officer addresses immigration and he updated that particular one but it needed to be updated and it wasn't updated when we needed it. Basically that is what is going to happen to all of our procedures. They are all going to be looked at, they are all going to be updated to whatever today's standards are. But beyond that, okay, there's, you know, how do we talk to the public which is the website, those kinds of things, that comes under that. MS. SKREZEC: Mmmhmm. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: How do we handle our prisoners in our jail cells? Is our space adequate in our police department now? All of these things are going to be part of our state accreditation. All of them. And so there's some pretty big budget items we might be looking at. MS. SKREZEC: Right. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: But if you want to send me the link to the police department, I can see what we can get on there but, there is nobody that addresses that in the police department right now. There just isn't. MS. SKREZEC: Right. Is there a policies and procedures committee? COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, other than the committee, no. MS. SKREZEC: When I was at the police advisory committee, Chief Flatley said there was. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Other than, well, he may have one in his own command that I am not aware of, I... Southold Town Board Regular Meeting , July 5, 2017 page 48 MS. SKREZEC: I am just wondering how often they review their policies. Perhaps they should start making them, you know,parallel to the accreditation standards. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, that is it. No, that is the reason for the accreditation, to go over.... MS. SKREZEC: Believe me, I know. I did the accreditation for the hospital for 14 years. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: so that's what it is, it is that. They are saying it's a man for a year and a half and it could be a half a man after that, that's all he does. You know, look at all the procedures, make sure they are all up to date, you know, go to seminars.... MS. SKREZEC: And educate the rest of the force... COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Educate each police officer, make sure they sign off that they know this procedure, they have been through all this training, it's all of that and it's all part of the accreditation. Right now, we have none of that, in my opinion. MS. SKREZEC: Right. No, we don't, not that I can see. I mean, the website, for the last 10 months I have been trying to figure a few things out with the police department, I can't find out anything other than word of mouth in the community from some of the police officers, some of you. As far as you know, complaints go. Are there any statistics in our department on the complaints that come in. The most common ones. Which ones are substantiated, which ones are unsubstantiated. Is there anything like that in our department? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There might very well be a tally kept by the police department, with all due candor, we haven't asked for one. MS. SKREZEC: There's a very good policy with Suffolk County police department, the civilian complaint procedure. There is a form as well. An individual can file a complaint, you get a ticket number. You can track your complaint, within two weeks you are notified of who is going to be doing the investigation. You are interviewed. Everyone involved is interviewed. And the person that issued the complaint gets a report of the results of the investigation. When a complaint is issued with our department, who gets it? Just Chief Flatley? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The Town Board. MS. SKREZEC: The Town Board. So you are well aware of all the complaints that have come in? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: No. Not by any stretch of the imagination do I understand what goes on there and that procedure you are talking about. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 49 MS. SKREZEC: So Mr. Russell, you don't get that? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Complaints do come to me, usually from the public and then we what we will do is call the chief into executive session. Those are the ones I am aware of. MS. SKREZEC: Are you aware of any of the ones that may have come from the New York State police? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, no. Complaints from the New York State police? MS. SKREZEC: That an individual might have filed. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. MS. SKREZEC: I think the lack of communication here is really something to worry about with our community. I hope everyone is a little bit scared. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, sure. MS. SKREZEC: I know I am. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That's fair. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Can I ask what's piqued your interest in this? MS. SKREZEC: Well, the accreditation process. I volunteered to be on the Police Advisory Committee, I do think it's very important. There's a few issues that I have noticed in the community that I have been a little bit concerned about. I believe we have some wonderful police officers but they can't police themselves. And all of you are the police commissioners, you are not aware of anything that relates to the complaints. I mean, do you have any statistics? I have, from Suffolk County, they have an annual report listing 20 categories of complaints. They investigate them, they find out which ones that are substantiated, unsubstantiated and the ones that are exonerated. They have a report of all of this and 22 %were substantiated. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Now are these complaints against the police department, criminal complaints? MS. SKREZEC: Yes and it is, I can give you this. some of the things are improper supervision, improper police action, illegal search and seizure, false arrest, failure to perform duty, excessive force, domestic offense, damaged property, conduct unbecoming, missing property, criminal, sexual, bias policing. I know we have the Anti-Bias Task Force, there's a lot of complaints related to that here but do we have any statistics on our site? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 50 SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Not to my knowledge. I will say, I might have misspoke earlier when you were talking about complaints, I thought you were talking about complaints coming in with regard to general policing. MS. SKREZEC: Mmmhmm. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: With regard to the officers themselves. MS. SKREZEC: Yes. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: When they come to me, we bring it to work session, we have the Chief come in and we go over it. in some instances, we refer to labor counsel. But if they are not coming to me, no, I don't know about them. I have to be candid. Unless they come to my office. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And again, Allison, you know, I have been involved in government 30 years here and I have found that and Scott can probably attest to that, if you take the hardnose, insistent upon getting things done in town government, you take the long road. I found that if you follow a path that has been worn down already, which I found accreditation, which I knew nothing about until Benja brought it up at one meeting one time. I investigated it, I know you were very involved with it and I think that that's the area that we want to get to. we want to know what the procedures are, everybody in that department should know and we as commissioners should get a monthly report and everybody on this board will tell you, I am real good at that. I just want a summary of what is going on, how many complaints did we get, how many tickets did we issue? I don't care who issued the tickets, I just want to know what our activity is and so, we get an overtime report but it has to be much more thorough, again, I think that they have a book, I know it exists, the Chief has told me, that has rules and procedures, okay, I have never seen it nor do I think I am qualified to even read it and understand what's in it because I don't work in police work but I think that having a person that's responsible to make sure that these standards are up-to-date to today's standards and kept that way and given it's due respect from each officer. In other words, they are trained and they acknowledge that they are aware of these things you know, gives us more ammunition when something does go wrong. But we are not there. We are not there and I don't expect that we will be there for a year but I find that if I follow the path that I know everyone is following, I think we will get there. MS. SKREZEC: Do we know how the Chief handles complaints? Does he get in touch with the person that issued the complaint? COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I don't know. I don't know. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Maybe what our failing is, is not letting the public know enough that the complaints should come to us directly as commissioners, rather than directly to the police department. As their bosses, we would be in a position to direct him or any of the department members, to handle it in a manner that we think is fitting but if I don't get them, then I don't know or we don't know how to direct him. Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 51 COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And it's hard to ask the question of him, because we are at a disadvantage in that there's some things that we probably, even as commissioners I certainly wouldn't understand, I may misinterpret, I've always tried to go on the cautious side of I am the dumb one, I am the stupid one. I need to understand it because you are playing with people's lives here, people's livelihoods and people's lives. One mistake, one quote in the paper could just throw a monkey wrench into a trial or cause a mistrial, all these things that you know, it's scary, quite honestly to me. so I want to follow this thing, I had always had in the back of my mind that you know if at some point in time that we need some people to come and testify, well, we will. MS. SKREZEC: I think it's important to put something into place right now, as far as complaints go. I mean, there should be some kind of procedure on this. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, let me find out, let me talk to the Chief and see what the procedure is. What we can publish, maybe we can put it on the website. How to file a complaint, like you said, what happens, what's the steps? MS. SKREZEC: I mean, it's, you can even just copy the one that comes from Suffolk County. It's obviously probably up to date as far as the standards, since they are an accredited agency. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Yes, maybe we can do that. MS. SKREZEC: And I do suggest that you ask Chief Flatley if there has been any complaints issued that you should be aware of. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, we will talk to him about it. MS. SKREZEC: Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Board? Benja Schwartz BENJA SCHWARTZ: Benja Schwartz, Cutchogue. I was just looking on the website at the Police Advisory Committee, it says that you are to appoint seven members and it only shows five members and it says they are supposed to serve for three year terms and yet there's someone on here whose term doesn't expire until 2021. So that's five years from now. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We'll check into that. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I think that Bill had advised me that we have the proper number with me and the Chief present. That makes seven. Because the Chief is always going to be there and I am not a member, I am the liaison to that committee. MR. SCHWARTZ: I think also the Chief is ex-officio, a member but not a member... Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 52 COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: No, that's how the seven goes. That's h ow it was explained to me. MR. SCHWARTZ: Okay, okay. I am not sure. COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: And we revamped that. We have a bunch of new people on it. MR. SCHWARTZ: How are we doing on the helicopters? Not too good. Do you all realize that I was the first one to complain about the helicopters? COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Why am I not surprised by that? MR. SCHWARTZ: And when I complained about them, my neighbor said to me, what planet do you live on? The Chief said we have no jurisdiction, we can't do anything. You know, there are new, there's new type of helicopters in town and there's people that have tried to complain to the police and been given what I believe is incorrect information, that we can't do anything. about these unmanned aircraft systems. It is legal for them to weigh as much as 55 pounds a piece. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You are talking about drones. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, I call them drones, you call them drones but the federal government calls them UAS. UAS, an unmanned aircraft system. I got interested in them because I had company for the 4t" of July. Wasn't it a beautiful day? Well, how would you like it if your neighbor was marching back and forth, over and around the top of your house with something that sounded like a bunch of chainsaws, an army of lumberjacks with chainsaws fighting beehives. You know, and these things are going over your house? I saw them crash at least once. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That's what they make 20 gauge buckshot for. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, my wife wanted to know if she could shoot it down. Seriously, the individual that called the police and did not like the answer they got then came to me, to complain to me. Well, I don't know why, what can I do? The only thing I can do is come to you. But who are we supposed to go to if there is a problem with an illegal drone being flown not just over private property but over public lands of Southold Town, the beaches. COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: That's, sorry for interrupting, but you said illegal drone. What makes it illegal? MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, the rules are that contrary to the information provided by the dispatchers at the Southold Town police, only the smallest one, they said the largest drones need to be licensed but anything that is over, well, I would say a half pound but the regulation is .55 pound, otherwise known as 8 '/2 ounces, so it's a little easier to figure out, so you know, there is on the federal government website listing of drones some weigh as little as one ounce, two ounce, five ounce but then they jump to 15 ounce, 55 ounce. That's 3.5 pounds, to make it a Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 53 little easier to understand, and they are allowed to be, they are not allowed to be over 55 pounds but all drones that are over 8.5 ounces are required to be registered. Pilots are not required to be registered. On the federal government website, which by the way the federal government is attempting to preempt the regulations of the states. Approximately one third of the states have adopted regulations, the other two thirds are not aware of this issue yet but believe me, you will be aware of it when they are flying over your head. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I brought this issue up about two years ago because I could see this was going to be a problem and my reasoning is maybe a little bit different because I am not so, the noise doesn't bother me so much but the drones, at least the small ones that I have seen, but I was concerned about the cameras quite frankly. I think that it is an invasion of privacy and I do know that some of these drones have been buzzing the beaches, taking video in inappropriate ways. That's what had me concerned. The problem is, as I understand it, the regulations do need to come from the federal government and the state. I don't know an awful lot about you know, what we can do about it on a local level. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, maybe I can help you there. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Sure, go ahead. MR. SCHWARTZ: The privacy issue also concerns me as well as the safety issue but the annoyance issue, believe me, when it happens to you, that will be important to you also. The federal government is trying to say that they have preempted the field and that there are regulations but there's at least 20 states that have issued their competing regulations and they're duking it out in court. And I am not suggesting that the Town of Southold go up against the federal government. That doesn't make sense to me. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: That hasn't worked out so well for the helicopter noise. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No, it hasn't. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, what did work out, you remember when the first jet skis started buzzing around and everybody started screaming because those were you know, noise carries over water, it carries over air. Well, the jet ski manufacturers were basically looking that they were going to be put out of business because nobody wanted them around and they put a muffler on it. They put mufflers on them. Now you hardly hear them. You still have to watch them but they are fun to ride. But that's the thing, you can make noise. There's 20 states that are making noise with adopting their own regulations. New York State is not one of them. However, New York State has given us, the Town of Southold, the local municipality, self-rule authority and we have every right in the world to adopt regulations to supplement the state regulations. And we might even have a duty to enforce those regulations, so why shouldn't we have regulations that we can understand, that we can enforce and you know what? If they get struck down, so be it. But if we make enough noise, then we won't have to suffer. I don't have anything else on that issue right now. I hope people enjoy these drones but maybe if we can address the privacy, the safety and the disturbance of the peace issues. Maybe they can do that. Right now they are Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 54 selling them, they are telling people they have to be registered. I saw one in Costco the other day, a couple of hundred dollars and it said right on the package you were required to register it but what if you don't register it? well, you know, I understand that you don't want the Southold Town police force going around and going into people's houses and with these tiny, toy machines. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are just trying to get beach stickers, we have enforcement priorities right now. MR. SCHWARTZ: When you have these machines flying around and one of the regulations that applies to I believe all the drones, but it might just be the ones that are registered, I read through the federal website and in one section is says it's not required to fly in line of sight and in the other place they say that is required but when you see these drones and you can't see anybody operating them, you can assume that they can't see the drones, the cameras in them. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. MR. SCHWARTZ: So that's all that I have to talk about tonight with that. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Can I just ask you to be succinct at this point because we have been generous in listening to you. MR. SCHWARTZ: I will. We have had two deaths this summer already, one in the Long Island Sound, one in Plum Gut which I believe should concern this Town Board especially considering the situation with the Plum Island. Do you have any interest in making any, in doing anything or in trying to prevent future... COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: To prevent people from jumping off their boats in strong currents? I don't know how we can regulate that. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, that was one of the deaths. The other one was the man, you know, there's kids, little kids and big kids and this was a big kid, very respected, very wonderful person that contributed a lot to our communities as I understand it but he was so excited, he went out in bad weather in a new boat and fell off it and died. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There's no conceivable way Southold Town, the Southold Town Board can ever address an issue like that. It's an unfortunate aspect of life that people have accidents and I am not sure the Town board has any ability to change that fact. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, I do. I have addressed it and I believe I am having success already. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Good. MR. SCHWARTZ: But I don't have any authority. If I can do it, why can't you? Southold Town Board Regular Meeting July 5, 2017 page 55 COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: I don't have enough details about what you are talking about. MR. SCHWARTZ: Well, you see, that's part of the problem, that there are not enough details put in the police report and the news media that picked up the police reports didn't put enough details into the news reports because they didn't have the information. So you know, it comes back down to maybe the police accreditation and the responsiveness not just to complaints but to suggestions and individuals who could contribute to a functional police committee which implies that there should be a functional police commission. And I don't believe that this current police commission has ever functioned except when they are wearing their hats of the Town Board hats. You are talking about having a special meeting to consider the parking permits for the beach. well, what about a special meeting to consider your special duties as police commissioners that administer our, you know, the police chief is not supposed to be the highest authority in the Southold Town police force. It is the police commission but it never had a meeting to my knowledge. You have never had a meeting as a police commission, have you? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No. We are organized as members of Southold Town Board that conducts the policing business during those meetings. MR. SCHWARTZ: I am sorry, I couldn't... SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We are organized as members of Southold Town Board, then we conduct police matters as part of that board. At the same meeting. In other words, what you are suggesting is we call a separate meeting, convene a separate meeting as commissioners when the more pragmatic approach is to simply take care of all business at one time while we sit here as members of the Southold Town Board. MR. SCHWARTZ: I think if you wear too many hats at the same time, it gets confusing. The same board here, yourselves, also act as our code committee and I know there are other people sitting at the table with you, not very many, most of them also ex officio wearing their own alternative hats also but I would suggest that you might be more effective and comfortable if you would try wearing one hat at a time sometimes. Thank you. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Anybody else?
