NOVEMBER 15, 1994
WORK SESSION
Present: Supervisor Thomas Wickham, Councilman Joseph J. Lizewski, Councilwoman
Alice J. Hussie (10:50 A.M.), Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jr., Councilwoman
Ruth D. Oliva, Justice Louisa P. Evans, Town Clerk Judith T. Terry, Town
Attorney Laury L. Dowd.
9:15 A.M. - The Town Board met with Fritz Trinklein, consultant for the YMCA,
who has been conducting a feasibility study and accumulating data with respect to
the possibility of opening a facility in Southold Town. A full facility would require
a 20,000-30,000 sq. ft. building on five acres land, at a cost of 1½-2 million to build
and 3/4 million a year to operate. The next component is a campaign for funding
which Mr. Trinklein expects to begin in December. He advised the Board that
Greenport Village is anxious to have the facility in Greenport, and has offered land
.& $200,000 toward the building. The next step, if the Board wishes to explore this
further, would be a meeting with the President and Board of Directors of the YMCA,
after that a public informational meeting and public announcement. Councilman
Lizewski stated he does not think the taxpayers of Southold Town should support
private enterprise.
9:50 A.M. - The following members of the Committee on Local Taxes met with the
Board to make a presentation on the committee's work to date: James Heffron,
Chairman, Benjamin Sokobin, Linda Rehm, Charles Murrin, Wally McGahan. Mr.
Heffron explained that they are focusing primarily on schools, town, and fire
districts, and have collected data which will be incorporated into an interim report
which will be completed within the next few weeks. Their goals for the next phase
of work will be to address structural problems identified in the interim report, and
then produce a report, including recommendations. The Committee, at this point,
would like to call on additional expertise to assist them, and' will make a
recommendation to the Board on this in the near future. In the meantime they
propose a public informational meeting to bring their findings to date to citizens and
taxpayers, answer questions, and listen to comments, in order to publicize the
Committee's mission, thereby enlisting the public's interest and input. They asked
the Town Board for an allocation of up to $500 for advertisements and posters (see
resolution no. 20).
10:45 A.M. - David Abatelli and Connie Solomon of CAST met with the Town Board
to ask for a financial commitment from the Town of Southold for the CAST After
School Youth Tutorial Program. Funding from the United Way has been cut $6,800,
and without assistance they will not be able to carry on with the program.
Supervisor Wickham advised that later in the day there will be a discussion on
criteria for donations to local groups, at which time this can be addressed.
Councilman Townsend suggested that the Town establish a private fund, financed
by officials and employees of the Town. The legality of this will be researched.
11:10 A.M. - Personnel: Discussion of appointments to the TDR (Transfer of
Development Rights) Working Group. Interviews were held recently and the Board
placed resolution no. 21 on the .agenda to make appointments.- .... As a result of
interviews for the three vacancies on the Tree Committee, resolution no. 22 was
placed on the agenda for appointments to those positions.----Town Board discussed
the possibility of filling the Ordinance Inspector position as of January 1st. Also
in attendance at this time was Lois Atkinson, President of the CSEA, and Linda
Cooper, member of the Labor Management Committee. The Board was unable to
unanimously agree on the office location for the position. Supervisor Wickham,
Councilpeople Townsend and Oliva, and Justice Evans feel it should be under the
Town Attorney. Councilman Lizewski wants it in the Building Department, and
NOVEMBER 15, 1994
211
Councilwoman Hussie would agree to the position conditioned on the establishment
of minimum fines and penalties, and would like to see it located out of the Police
Department. A civil service list has been: requested and the matter will be
readdressed when the list is received.----Three applications have been received
for the vacancy on the Board of AsSessment Review, and the Board set 3:30 P.M.,
Tuesday, November 22nd for interviews, .... The Town Board next discussed
Supervisor Wickham's proposal to create a Parks, Beaches and Recreation Committee.
Currently there is a Supervisor's Parks and Recreation Committee, which he 'would
like dissolved in favor the proposed new committee. The Town Board discussed the
purpose, goals, and recommended appointments, and put resolution 23 on the agenda
to dissolve the current committee, and resolUtion no. 24 to create the new committee
and make appointments.
12:15 P.M. - Recess for lunch.
1:45 P.M. - Work Session reconvened and the Town Board discussed the Preliminary
1995 Budget. Senior Accountant John Cushman joined the Board during this
discussion. Councilwoman Hussie presented the Board with a proposal for numerous
budget reductions, which were discussed in depth, but ultimately rejected by a
majority of the Board. The Board set 3:30 P.M., November 16th for a Special
Meeting to adopt the 1995 Budget. ----Letter from Consultant Daniel Karpen
recommending that LILCO rebates be spent to replace the insulation in the fan coil
units at Town Hall. Senior Accountant Cushman advised the Board that the LILCO
rebates referred to by Mr. Karpen must be used strictly for the purposes specified
in the bond resolution for Heating & Lighting Improvements, or debt service on the
bonds used to fund this Capital project. The rebate checks will be deposited back
into the Capital Fund created .for the project and must not be used for maintenance
type items. Replacement of insulation in the fan coil units in Town Hall does not
appear to be a proper use of the rebate checks. Board concurred with Mr.
Cushman, and Mr. Karpen will be so advised.----Board discussed bids received for
gasoline and diesel fuel for 1995. A review of the bids reveals that Ail American
Fuel Co. revised the bid specifications to their satisfaction, contrary to the
requirements of the Highway and Police Departments. Town Board agreed the Ail
American bids should be rejected and the bids awarded to Tuthill-Magee Service Inc.
(see resolutions 26 and 27).
3:05 P.M. Neboysha Brashich, Chairman of the Transportation Committee, met with
the Town Board to discuss the proposal of the committee to hire Dunn Engineering
Associates to prepare a detailed Scope of Services which enumerates the specific
work efforts that the consultant will undertake as part of the Southold
Transportation Corridor Study. Town Board agreed to engage Dunn, and placed
resolution no. 28 on the agenda to do so.----Town Board discussed a proposed
resolution to engage Andrew StyPe to conduct an appraisal on behalf of the Town
on Town owned property in Cutchogue (see resolution no. 29).----Letter from the
North Fork Planning Conference requesting the Town Board to include a line item
of $20,000 in the 1995 Budget to support the provision of affordable housing through
the "Homeownership First-Time Homeowners" program. Town Board agreed this
would not be appropriate for 1995 in light of current proposed expenditures during
that year, but will consider when preparing the 1996 Budget. ----Councilman
Townsend discussed proposals he has received from Val Stype & SOns, Inc. and New
York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal for the 1995 insurance coverage for the Town.
Overall Stype is about $1,000 lower, and he would recommend accepting their
proposal. A for discussion/possible resolution item will be placed on the November
29th ageoda.----Mark McDonald, Planning Board Member and the Town's Advocate
for Suffolk County Preservation or Open Space-Funds. Mr. McDonald submitted a
Priority Acquisition List of five parcels to be purchased with the Town's share of
the 1/4% sales tax money. Town Board reviewed the list and asked Mr. McDonald.
to cor~tact Executive Director of the Suffolk County Water Authority Michael
LoGrande to find out if he has a preference. Justice Evans asked Mr. McDonald

ask the League of Women Voters to develop a scope of services for those

up, but tonight we have three different public hearings, that begin at 8:00
o'clock, and I notice it's pretty close to 8:00 o'clock. I imagine a lot of

a ATM Machine, that has twenty-four hour drive-through installed, is there
a site plan review made to see if it's needed, or see if it's warranted in
that area? We have three ATMs within walking distance in the town of
Mattituck.
