22.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski,
Councilman Wickham, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: At this point, do we have any members of the
audience, that would like to address the Town Board on any topic whatsoever?
(No response.) Seei~.g none, do we have any Town Board members that would
like to make any comment.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes. I think we've set a record tonight.
DEPUTY SUPERVISOR PENNY: We're very close. Are there any other Town Board
members, that would like to make any comment at this time? (No response.)
would just like to make one in regard to the resolution Number 21, and this is
a personal concern of mine, one that is not reflected directly in this resolution,
because this is a composite resolution, which encompasses a broad Feeling of the
East End Supervisors, and the Town Board. It's just that I'm glad to see that
the Town, and the East End Supervisors are supporting a thorough evaluation
of proposed alternatives, because one thing we have to remember out here is
that for the short term economic gain that we might realize from the conversion
of that facility into something quick, and easy, we'll have a long term effect
on the way of living out in Southold Town, and I think that is paramount in
all of our minds. I think the wording of the resolution expresses that we are
concerned, we realize that there are potential pitfalls, and that you can't always
look at the sweet issue right up front, because it could turn sour in the long
run. I'm very proud of the Town Board for passing this resolution. I know
there has been a number of people in the public, that have been interested in
finding out what the Town Board's position ~s, and now it's out, and it's no
secret anymore. In relation to the US/UK Study, which we have been ongoing.
We sat down, and interviewed, I believe, was no less than forty people, who
volunteered. We're in the process of now of deliberating how we're going to
continue from now on. We're going to eventually have to weed out a few people,
unfortunately, and then we'll do some work, extensive interviews, I'm sure, in
a few weeks. The Town Board is going to sit down first, which is my under-
standing after today's meeting, and decide a little more of how we're going to,
or how the committee is going to be composed, so we have our act together. We
don't have any for foregoing conclusions, and in talking to different Town Board
members everybody has a different idea of how things should proceed, so once
the Supervisor is back, I'm sure will get his immediate attention, as well as ours,
and this will be an ongoing process. So, bear with us. We're still working on
it, and I can really say that it was enlightening to see the number of people
and the variety of concerns that people have for this proposal. The economic
criteria, that people brcughtout the fact that once again, like I said, with the
airport study,thatyou_.can look something, and maybe it looks really good upfront,
but can we afford it in the long run, and I'm sure that as a study as requested,
that a long term economic package be put together with the nature of the people,
that have applied for this. We've had a lot of economists, and a lot of people
concerned about the overall effect of taxes, and I'm sure that we'll be able to
fit this into the program, and the study had called for this, and we were a little
bit concerned about how we would fit this package in, but I think that in looking
at the credentials of some of the people, that have volunteered to work on this
for us, some of them being professional consultants, who have volunteered their
time, I'm sure that it's not going to be easy, but it's going to be possible now.
I thank you all for your attendance here this evening, and good evening. We
need a resolutibn to adjourn.
Moved by Councilman Wickham, seconded by Justice Edwards, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 7:57 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski,
Councilman Wickham, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
