their facilities, but there was an article, I think I passed it around to the Town

COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I have some comments. This afternoon was rather an
expensive e×cercise for rqe. As we were debating here in the Town Hall the farm
truck, that I came in, ~Jas stolen right across the street. Fortunately I got a
ride home, and I must say I'm quite impressed with the Police Department, who
were well on the case, and quite efficient, that I hope that I'll have the truc~
back in a day or two. While this was all happening we were all involved here,
and I might add that we had a presentation today from Huntington Town, regarding
a proposed swap of garbage for yard waste. This was all conducted, unfortunately,
in Executive Session, so I'm not able to tell you any more about it than the fact ~
that it was had at a time when the public was not allowed in the room, desPite
my noting several times the discussion had veered far from just contractual matters.
I should add that the public would hardly have known about this discussion, because'
it wasn't on the agenda, nor was it on any of the papers that were submitted
'to us prior to the meeting. I just think it's too bad, that the Town Board is
unwilling to discuss such an important, and interesting issue, with the public
are large. Thank you, Scott.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Scott, I hope you're going to comment on that.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Judge? I thought you wanted to speak.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: No, you go ahead.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Anybody else?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I'd just like to take a second, and just read a letter, which
I received from a constituent in the community, as a result of the 'meeting, that
we had on the Southold Youth Board. Dear Councilman Penny, A~t the Southold
Town Youth Board meeting last Wednesday evening, you asked the audience to
let the Town Board know what they felt was needed for the youth of Southold
Town. Myself, and my friends, who attended the meeting, are in the 12 to 18
year old range. We represent the skateboarders of Southold Town. We stretch
from Riverhead to Orient, who have a hobby, that we enjoy. We spend a good
deal of time, and money, putting together, and using our skateboards. Our only
problem is we have no place to go, and skate. We've been chased out of most
of the parking lots, shopping centers, gazebos, the Fire Department, etc. ~e
need a skate park. Not one like you"ve seen on TV with a big U-shaped half
pipes, but the one that's asphalted over with a few hips and curves. We could
also use a little set of stairs. Any other props we might need to have, such as
platforms, little launch ramps, etc., we could make our own, and donate to the
park. We're all pretty much street skaters, and we really don't need anything
too elaborate. We estimate there's approximately fifty to sixty skateboarders in
Southold Town, and if the skate park becomes a reality, the number is 'unlimited.
Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Chris Bertani. P.S. We all feel that
the Town needs tl~e Youth Board Forum, and we hope the-Town Board can find
the funds for it. This is signed by 21 young people in our commL, nity, which
is the future of Southold Town. There's been a lot of discussion about what kids
have to do, and I just did a little thinking the other night with a couple of friends,
and I happened to drive down to Bailey's Beach, where we as kids used to be
able to go down on a Friday night, pull in there, and have what they called a
beach party. Start a bonfire on the beach, everybody sit around, listen to the
radios, have a few sodas, if you were underage, a few beers, if you were over
18 back in those days. Those days are gone. I mean, I see more people telling
about how great it is to live out here, and how they can't understand why the
kids don't have anything to do. There are a large number of things, that the
kids can't do anymore. Most public places are closed to them. You go down to
the Southold Town Beaches, the parking lots are closed at 10 o'clock. You can't
go on the beach. You can't have your beach parties. You can't have your picnics.
The kids in this town are very, very restricted. Anybody, that doesn't think
so, should ask the kids. The kids would like to be able to do something, and
I'm told that this particular venture here is a major problem. Skateboards are
problems. Somewhere along the line we have to seriously address the needs of
this community, and one of them is how to get these kids off the streets, out
of the parking lots, out of in front of the post office, out of in front of the
library steps, out of in front of the banks, where'the~,~ all are, quote, unquote,
the lingerers. These kids are read~,~ to go, and want a place to do it. If there
is some way, that this cdmmunity can find a way to solve this need, I would respect
anybody that came forward with some positive suggestions. Let's not tell the
kids in Southold Town what they can't do. Let's tell them what they can do.
Thank you.

JUSTICE EDWARDS: Scott, I would iust like to make a comment. I'd like to say
it's good to back after two months, eighty-one hundred mile drive through history,
all the way to Key West, Norfishers treasure museum, up the west coast to
Tonkin Springs, sponge area, two days at the Pensacola Naval Air Museum, which
I thoroughly enjoyed, two days in New Orleans, down the Mississippi, and
searching for a motel for Mardi Gras, which wound up fifty miles west of New
Orleans. My daughter's in Houston for a week and a half, on to the Alamo for
a day, up to Admiral Nemitz's Museum in Fredericksburg, Texas, for a day,
back into Mardi Gras, and then north through Alabama to the Huntsville Armory.
I spent a half day touring that. It was beautiful, through Kentucky, Tenessee,
Ohio, and up through upper New York State, and through 8,000 miles the only
town I got stopped was by a New York State Trooper outside of Wellsville, New
York, and my license plate got me out of that speeding jam, but it was a wonder-
ful trip through the southeastern part of the States, but I'm glad to be back.
Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: It's good to have you back, Ray. In closing, I find I
have to constantly respond to Councilman Wickham's obstructurism, that exists
in the town. It's unfortunate that he fails to fully disclose what has transpired
with the Town of Southold. In 'many instances, when wefre talking about con-
trai:tual matters, which have always been done in Executive Session, and last week
there was a full presentation open to the public at the SOlid Waste Task Force.
Many questions were asked, of which Counselman V.~ickham attended, in reference
to the Huntington, Smithtown, and Southold Town exchange. Many, many,
questions, and dialogues were, I would say, continuing, and in this case, and
this side, Tom, you continue to fail to recognize this town's efforts in solid waste.
I think it's time you started being 'constructive in this area, and quit trying to
hold the Town back in it's objective, which is solving a very serious situation,
which we've had for many, many years, l~m sorry, that you feel that contractual
matters don't belong in Executive Session, but when a town such as Huntington
calls up, and confirms at 5:30 on Monday night, that they can attend a meeting,
it's almost impossible to get the word out to the Councilmen that there's something
happening, except for the way it was done today, in Executive Session when the
members do come out, and sit in there, and the Board has a full presentation
from a representative from the Town of Huntington in reference to an exchange,
that possibly will be ongoing for many years, and I hope this town continues it's
deliberations with the Town of Huntington and Smithtown. This scenerio looks
right now, very receptive. There are raany questions vet to be answered, and
I hope that in the next few months, our engineering firm, Dvirka & Bartiluccia,
will be able to go over some of those details for the Board, so that we can con-
tinue on that track, and solve once and for all the economic plight, which has
been plaguing the.Town of Southold, and other East End towns for many, many
years, since the 1983 legislation was enacted, which we all feel was severe.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: And I hope it can be done openly.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: It was, as I said, Tom, unfortunately you failed to dis-
close at the Task Force meeting. It was open dialogue in reference to some of
this.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I was there.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Again, there's no other member, that would like to speak,
I'll certainly entertain a motion to adjourn.
Moved by Councilman Wickham, seconded by Supervisor Harris, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 8:10 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski,
Coun~:ilman Wickham, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
