SUPERVISOR HARRIS: This engagement of an appraiser is continuation of the
1991 Farmland Development Rights Bond, which the people of the Town of Southold
voted for. This along with many other properties have been coming into the Land
Preservation Committee for inclusion in the Farmland Development Rights Program.
Presently the Town of Southold has around 1.,200 acres. We hope to acheive through
the new bond purchase around another 250, or 300 acres, giving us 1,500 acres,
and our goal obviously is around 3,500 total. So, we're slowly working to keep
agriculture production in the Town of Southold, and continuing what that rural
quality of life, that we all enjoy, and we appreciate the job that the Land Preserva-
tion Committee has been doing. They've been working very hard in obtaining
parcels, and getting appraisals done, and then going out using the properties, and
making sure that they are in conjunction with what the Town Board feeling is,
as far as agriculture production, and farmland. So, thank you very much for
that.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Scott, maybe you could give a little synopsis to the Scouts
in the front, to let them know what this means.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: For the gentlemen that are here, the Town of Southold
Farmland Development is a program that was instituted back in 1971 by, at that
time, former County Executive John Klein, and what they have instituted is buying
up farmland to develop parcel a portion of that farmland. In other words, you
won't be able to build on it once the development rights are removed. However,
the ownership of the property still remains intact with the people who obviously
own that property, and farm it, and this removes development pressure, at the
same time continues agricultural use of the property, and that's what the town
is trying to encourage, at the same time still rewarding those individuals for the
assets, that they have in their land. The next two resolutions, that we have also
are continuing to execute agriculture development rights acquisition.
20.-Moved by Supervisor Harris, seconded by Councilman Wickham, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby aUthorizes and
directs Supervisor Scott L. Harris to execute Agricultural Development Rights
Acquisition - Option Agreements for the following three parcels, all in accordance
with the approval of the Town Attorney:
1. Barry Berkman & others, north side of Oregon Road, Mattituck,
Tax Map No. 1000-94-3-3, 28+ acres, $7,500.00 per acre, for a total
of approximately $210,000.00.-
2. Adrian H. Courtenay, III, north side of Wickham Avenue, Mattituck,
Tax Map No. 1000-I07-5-p/o 6.1, 20 acres, $9,500.00 per acre, for
a total of $190,000.00.
3. Chester, Parker & Betse¥ Dickerson, west and east side of Youngs
Avenue, Southold, Tax Map Nos. 1000-55-1-8 & 1000-55-2-9.1, 62
acres, $6,500.00 per acres, for a total of $403,000.00.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: This will approximately give us a little bit less than half
of what the residents of the Town appropriated last year in the 1991 November
Bond. The total, as you know, was 1.75 million, and this will be a little over
800 and some thousand to date, the Town will be spending to purchase these
properties, and the best time, of course, is right now with the recession, that
we happen to be in with the soft real estate market. We're getting these properties
at a very good price, and we're very thankful, of course, with people who want
to include their properties in this program.

COUNCILMAN PENNY: If I could just mention at this time, we have a self-
insured program, and we would have been paying more than this in premiums,
if we had to go out, and buy the insurance through the normal insurance channels,
so, there has been quite a tax savings .to the people of the town. Although we
are saving this money, we have to set certain funds aside, and hopefully we won't
have to spend as much as we have to spend in the first place.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: At this time, I'd like to turn this over to Judy Terry, our
Town Clerk, for a minute to explain the ongoing grant, that she has received for
Records Management.
TOWN CLERK TERRY: We received last year beginning in July a grant for over
$17,000.00, and we're using that to manage our records-for the Town from day
one. We've gone back to 1881 with many of the records, and before that. We
are destroying many of the records that are no longer valuable, which have been
kept for many years. We've hired two part-time people. In fact, we had three
for a short period of time, and these individuals are working on a part-time basis
throughoot-: the week. We have now applied for a continuing grant. We have
bought shelving, and as I mentioned, we've paid for the personal services, and
we've purchased storage boxes, which they are under specifications by the State
of New York. This is all done through the New York State Archives Department,
so we're really looking forward, and hoping we'll get our second grant, so we can
continue on with this program.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: A lot of very valuable records have, also, been discovered
down there, which our Town Historian Antonia Booth is very excited about, so
it's been a great program, and commend, obviously, the Town Clerk's Office for
instituting this grant, and in their endeavors in this project. Councilman Penny
has been excused for a little while. At the same time there's been a Town Board
meeting, because we've changed the date due to the Board of Assessment Review
meeting, which normally is scheduled for the third Tuesday of may each year,
the Town Board, of course, had to move it's Board meeting to today, Wednesday,
the 20th. Councilman Penny, also, heads the Local Waterfront Revitalization project,
and he is Chairing that, and so he has left briefly to make sure that meeting
is running smoothly, and we expect to see him shortly.

first go to Judge Edwards, as I earlier alluded to, and ask him about one of the
meetings that he attended on the Jetport Study at Calverton. Judge?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: The first meeting I went to was down in Brookhaven, and
it was attended by the officials of Suffolk County, and I can not say it was an
orderly meeting. There were some people in there that were really up in arms,
and it was more political than anything else, but some good did come out of it.
It was opened up for discussion for this Jetport. Of course, nothing has been
finalized, will not be for qui.te awhile, but at least the information was put forward,
both pros and cons. Last week on Monday evening, I believe it was, the North
Fork Environmental Council had a public meeting down at the Senior Citizens
Complex in Peconic, that was attended by maybe twenty people, and the advertising
brochure, that the NFEC came out with said it was going to be an open meeting,
and that the NFEC wanted to gather input before they made any decision, but
by the time this meeting got rolling along, I could see that the NFEC had really
loaded up the audience, and the panel with people on a negative side. I finally
had enough of it after about fifteen or twenty minutes, and there was a lawyer
from Washington, D.C., ~hat was really against the whole project, and he started
to cite different things that happened down in D.C., and Newark, and so forth,
and so on, and I told the NFEC people that I was very disappointed that they
had an open discussion, where they had loaded the balance scale on one side,
and there was some high level aviation people there trying to get some comments
across, but this attorney from Washington iust sort of whapped everything out,
and decided to run it his way, and I finally got up, and politely walked away.
Thank you, Scott.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you, Judge, and as members of our audience know
this Board had enacted a resolution some weeks ago about the Calverton Study,
and highly recommended that this study go far beyond the use of that facility
just as, obviously as a jetport, but to look into all possibility for use of that
property, as an alternative. At this time, I'd like to go to Councilwoman Hussie.
She had just returned a week ago from Southwold, Eh§land, our mother country.
She went over there with Jim Grathwohl from Cutchogue, the Old House Society,
and they had quite a trip. They enjoyed the hospitality of the Mayoress over
there, and she treated them like royality, and I will at this time turn this over
to Councilwoman Hussie.

COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I did go. I went as a private citizen, but at the same
time, I was doing a little bit of P.R. for the Town Board of the Town of Southold.
I brought them a plaque, a proclamation, which reaffirmed our ties, and it was
c',, ~e auspicous I thought, that at the same time that we were doing this presentation,
~;-~ Town Board was meeting here. They were most kind, most hospitable, and
it's really amazing to see how similar the land is to us here. I have picture post-
cards, that look just like..I mean you can't tell the difference whether it's
Southwold, England, or New Suffolk, and there are some other postcards, that
look just like Greenport, and then there's another one that looks like it could
be the Sound with-the jetties out, and the whole thing. It's really amazing. The
people were wonderful, and we started to think about having them visit us. Do
you want me to say anything more? I mean I could go on for a long time. It's
up to you. I'~ngoing to say that we have a little something to give you at the next
Board meeting, so 1'1] save it for that. Could I also talk about something else
while I'm on? Yesterday Tom Wickham, Hank Pope~ Jack Romeril, Ruth Oliva,
Johanna Northam, and I went to Albany, as members of the Solid Waste Task Force
here in Southold Town. Our mission was to have a meeting with Marls Henchy,
and starting for working toward a change in the Environmental Conservation Law.
The New York Environmental Conservation Law, which was written primarily to
protect groundwater wants to close all existing landfills, and the object of preserving
the groundwater throughout the State, not just on Long Island, we feel should
be based on scientific studies related to the various places of these landfills are
located. Mr. Wickham had outlined some proposals. It calls for a controlled use
of the unlined landfill with certain conditions, monitoring wells according to a
State approved plan, a very, very careful control of all the material that goes
into the land~ill with a vigorous inspection of upfront material, and the removal
of anything that could possibly contaminate the landfill, disposal of commercial
C & D at licensed facilities, and pushing and continuing the mandatory recycling
that we have. Mr. HenChy was more sympathetic, than he had at I~evious meetings.
He did admit that the language in the law needed revision, and he did admit also,
that he was interested in continued use of landfills. The Task For~e, and the
Southold Town Board are going to pursue this window of opportunity. We, also,
met with Assemblyman Joe Sawick, and Senators Ken LaValle, and Caesar Trunzo.
All together it was a very profitable mission. Tom, do you have anything you'd
like to add to that?
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM: I would just like to add a brief summary of what Alice
described, and that is the position of the Task Force has taken with the Legislators
in Albany, is we believe that we can show through a hydrogeologic study no
significant contamination of our groundwater coming from underneath the dump,
as it has been used in the past. It's been used in the past with more or less
uncontrolled dumping. We believe that if we can show no significant contamination
at all through uncontrolled dumping, we should be able to continue to assure the
people of the town no contamination of the groundwater with careful, vigorously
controlled landfilling at that same site, and consequently as long as we can show
that a plastic liner under that should not be neccessary, and as Alice said, there
was a more receptive hearing for that proposition, than we had heard before.
There's a lot of work ahead, Alice. It's not going to happen easily, but we feel
that there is a possibility to seek legislative change in that respect.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Thank you, and again, the Board commends the Task
Force, and of course, those members who lobbied in Albany on behalf of the
taxpayers of Southold Town, their continuing struggle with the landfill problems,
which as we know, is not just on the East End of Long Island, but, also,
Statewide. Are there any other members of the Board that would like to talk
on any subject matter? Joe, you had a number of meetings of Groundwater
Resources. I know you had a meeting the other night, that you conducted in
reference to groundwater, and is there anything you'd, like to continue on as far
as that goes.
COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI: We had a long meeting discussing Trustee role, and
our groundwater, and I think a lot of things were cleared up as far as what the
role would be in the future, and what we intended to do, and that fact is that
at this time we're going to continue with the study from the Suffolk County Water
Authority, and the areas that we passed in our own resolution, simply because
it has nothing to do with actually the putting in of wells at this time. It's just
a study, so we going to continue forward with what we're doing, and continue
to try to get the land in the Laurel Lake area.

SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Harvey, could you at this time, elaborate on how the
proceedings are 9oing with the Carey Tank Farm, or Mattituck Holdings at this
time?
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: As far as the Carey Tank Farm is concerned an
option agreement is being prepared.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: There's progress on that?
TOWN ATTORNEY ARNOFF: Yes, there is.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Councilman Penny?
'£OUNCILMAN PENNY: Our Legislative Committee is meeting diligently twice a
month, and got an extensive agenda. We're clearing up a section of obscure laws,
and confusion in the rear of the Zoning Chapter of the Town Code book. We're
hoping to cast out some of these, I guess you could refer to them almost as l~lue
Laws, because they will probably never be Used in Southold Town, and how they
ever got there we're really not sure, but we're trying to put things in an orderly
fashion, so that when somebody does pick up a Zoning Chapter, or comes in to
do a site plan, or any other project before the Town of Southold, Building Permit,
they'll be able to find everything all in one spot. That's our goal. Let's see
what the results are. We'll let everybody be the judge once the project is done.
It will probably be another month'or so in the works. The Local Water Revitaliza-
tion Project is ongoing. We're meeting twice a month on that. The Citizen's
Advisory Committee is meeting right now. They've been meeting ever since January.
The Trustees are very heavily involved right now, because a lot of the Local
Waterfront is under the jurisdiction of the Trustees, and on attempts earlier on,
the Advisory Committee, some of their comments were left out of the original
document, and the Trustees were not really brought into this at all, so we're
kind of redoing some of the earlier stages, and that will be an ongoing project.
We had hoped to complete it by the end of this year, but we'll probably l~e talking
about it at this time next year. I got a call from a friend of mine in Smithtown
in relation to some of the headlines in the local papers, and when he brought
it to my attention I noticed that he was actually making a real good point~ May
7th, Council, Trustees clash over water. May 14th, Trustees issues articles of
war. April 30th, civil war erupts over Task Force. Never since Desert Storm
have we seen so much activity on the front page of the paper, as one would think
that this is really a highly controversal, and a rough place to live, and he told
me that he said, thank heaven, that he is a summer resident of this town, and
that he happens to know what it is like to live out here, because if he had to
base his judgement upon what he read in this particular paper, he probably would
never move out here, and I just think that the world should know that we are
nice people out here; that papers do what they have to do to sell papers, but
that's really not the way life is out here. Since I am bringing this up, and if
anybody wants to communicate with me on this issue, please, don't write a letter
to the Editor. it will probably. . if I respond it will never appear in print. I called
the local Editor in response to an editorial, but he took me to task a couple of
weeks ago, and I was told today that I can continue waiting, that my letter, my
response to him is not going to appear. It was kind of a challenge. I challenged
him at that point to either substantiate his comments, or eat it's editorial, and
that I would likewise eat my letter publically, if he was right, and that challenge
goes unanswered. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: As we all know, it is a beautiful place in Southold Town.
It's not a war zone, and we're very proud of the people that live here, and this
Board_ works very hard on behalf of those residents to maintain their peace and
tranquility in spite of the headlines, that you read, and the sensationalism that
exists. I'd also like .to finalize these comments by members of the Board by saying
the Town of Southold is beautifying it's township, once again, with a tree planting
program, which Ed Dart, and the Southold Town Tree Committee have been working
very hard on for the last two weeks. They received a grant for $10,000.00 last
year to be used this year for purchase of trees, and replanting, and with that
there was a match of in-kind services by many of the local landscapers, and people
obviously in that business in the Town of Southold. We'd like to commend, and
congratulate all those people for the endeavors o~ behalf of the people of Southold
Town, and we would also like to say, if you like the looks of Southold, which
you'll be seeing quite a change in the next two weeks, there are approximately
150 to 200 new trees, which will be planted on all the major right-of-ways, or
thoroughfares, some even being planted on State Road 25, as you enter into the
town, and other areas where we feel a tremendous amount of devastation took
place from Hurricane Bob last August. There are plantings going on throughout
the town roads, and in many areas I'm sure you'll see in year to come many years
come to fruition as far as the beauty that they'll-produce, and obviously Arbor
Day iust passed recently, and I'd like to commend the children from all the high
schools on the walls around Town Hall. We've displayed them. They had a annual
Arbor Poster contest, and as you can see, this is some of their works, and
obviously the appreciation of the beautiful [ownship in which our future children,
our future generation to live. We'd like to, again, commend them for the work
they've done. ts there any more comments at this time?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Scott, I'd just like to add a comment, t had a package of
seedlings, that I had to get over to Fishers Island, and they flew from Mattituck to
our famous airport at Elizabeth Field, and the children at the school there had
fun in planting those seedlings.
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Also, of course, there are trees which are going to be
going over there in the next couple of weeks, full size trees, which will be planted
on the roads on Fishers Island, because, again, of the devastation that took place
there from the storms last year. If there is no other business, can we have a
motion to adjourn?
Moved by Councilman Lizewski, seconded by Councilman Wickham, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 8:35 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Hus~ie, Councilman Lizewsk|,
Councilman Wickham, Councilman Penny, Justice Edwards, Supervisor Harris.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
