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 August 30, 2017 meeting were approved.
Discussion Items:
1. Dave set a deadline of Monday, October 2, 2017 for committee to turn in their
pledges for names to be submitted to The Suffolk Times—for Partnering for a Greater
North Fork.
2. Dave anticipates that the Committee will be planting about 75-100 new trees this year
and hopes to be completed with the plantings by the very end of November. He
advised us that the Town is scheduled to cut down some big trees this Fall.
Therefore, we should be planting more trees than usual.
3. Dave also advised us that there are many dead trees on Route 25 which the State will
need to take down. He asked that the committee members try to make a
comprehensive list of these dead trees; so we can speak to a NYS representative to
take down and replace.
4. Dave asked Derek Bossen to be the liason to work with the Boy Scouts and students
from our local schools who need to do community service — to clean-up the
monuments around Town. Each troop/school would work within their own respective
Town.
5. Dave reported that he is still meeting and "fine tuning" the Tree Code with Assistant
Town Attorney, in order to try to condense and simply same.
6. Meeting dates were picked for 2018.
The next meeting of the Tree Committee will be October 25, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. in the
Town Annex Board Room.
This meeting was adjourned at 8:00 PM
Respectfully submitted,
