SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: At this point, if anybody would like to comment on any of the
agenda items of the regular meeting,please feel free?
Robert Dunn
ROBERT DUNN: Robert Dunn, Peconic. Regarding the rental law, at today's work session you
guys were talking about, it's not really open to public comment so I want to make comments
now. At one point, you guys were discussing back and forth about what would happen if
somebody's place that they were already renting and for some reason because of a code
deficiency, they found it was uninspected, that it technically couldn't be rented unless it was
either updated or the tenant left and there was the potential that that could lead to homelessness.
Well, the one thing I didn't hear in that,was yes, that's true, if the unit was found to be deficient
either by code or construction deficiencies, it could be de facto found uninhabitable but the
alternative to that is the person is living in a dangerous place. So would I rather be homeless or
dead?
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Yes,that's true.
J
Southold Town Board Regular and Budget Hearing Meeting
November 7, 2018 page 3
MR. DUNN: I don't think that's a question that needs to be answered.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: But it's part of an ongoing discussion because there are...
MR. DUNN: It's something that should be discussed.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: There are more questions all the time.
MR. DUNN: Right. What if?
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Yes, what if's.
MR. DUNN: But the bottom line is, you could pretty much ask anybody given the choice, do you
want to be homeless or fried chicken?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, I think I based my discussion on wasn't necessarily what you
;just described, it had more to do with how rental places, places that are currently being rented out
and the testimony that we heard from the realtors that they would have to, they would go into a
contract with someone to get them into a'house or however they did that and our law would go
into effect, we would vote on it would be in effect but it wouldn't be enforced for a certain
period of time. And during that time is the grace period. And that six months or whatever that
is, is to a person who is trying to do business in town, there's no certainty that that person is
going to get a CO, you know they could fail in many ways......
MR. DUNN: If you don't have a CO and you don't need to (inaudible), you shouldn't be renting
it.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I couldn't agree with you more but what I am saying is, this law
lures those people in, it says okay, go ahead and rent it but if you don't make a CO, if you can't
get the CO that we are requiring, then what do you do with those people that have a contract to
go,to live in that place? Okay?
MR. DUNN: Inaudible.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I think you are being a little dramatic here, Bob because it's not a
question of safety, those people are already living in those homes so that situation exists and I
couldn't agree with you more, we should enforce the laws that we have. That's why we have the
universal code, I couldn't agree with you more. What I am saying is, how do you do business
with that, how do you say to a person, okay here's the code, a guy gets a permit, they go in there
and they find out that there's certain things that need to be done. In the meantime, people are still
living'in there, they have a contract to live in there and for whatever reason, maybe it's they can't
possibly meet the code, the owner of that home cannot afford to bring it up to code....
MR. DUNN: Understood.
Southold Town Board Regular and Budget Hearing Meeting
November 7, 2018 page 4
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Then what do we do with that contract and that's what I heard from
the real estate people,that that was a big sticking point.
MR. DUNN: And those are valid questions but they are questions that they are legal questions,
they may be moral questions, they are not questions involving what do you do with an 8 year old
kid that is sleeping in a bedroom that has a door that is blocked and they can't get out...
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I am just asking that that-be solved before we make it a law, I am
just asking that that be solved before we make it a law.
MR. DUNN: What, that condition or the question?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: The question. Be answered. Why have a law....
MR. DUNN: Oh, I am not debating, Jim, I am not saying that you are wrong, I am just saying
the bottom line in that question is homeless or injured, I don't know if there's a, some people
would say they would just rather take the risk and not be homeless and I can understand that too.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, my first point was that basically if they have a CO and it's
occupyable by town standards,then why are we going into inspect it?
MR. DUNN: If they have a CO?
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Right. That was the whole premise of my discussion.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Just so you know where I was coming from and I raised the issue is
that there were many instances, first the, yes, there are the safety concerns to make sure people
are living in a place that is safe and appropriate for occupancy but there's many instances where
people can't comply with the code for a variety of reasons. In other words, the unit can be
perfectly safe, perfectly compliant with everything in the international building code,but there
might be issues where it can't comply with town code. It can't comply with other things that
don't have to do with protecting people.
MR. DUNN: That's not the issue that...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But...
MR. DUNN: That is an issue for you,to address.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: But that's the problem, it's a global code and I am struggling with
that because what the point you raised is exactly right, if I vote against it and someone dies
because of unsafe conditions, that's on me emotionally. If I vote for it and people get put out of
perfectly safe units, that's on me emotionally. So that's why it's such a difficult challenge, I
think all six board members, I don't want to speak for the rest but I think we all have been
struggling with that on what to.do but some of the recent incidents in town such as the fire,in an
Southold Town Board Regular and Budget Hearing Meeting
November 7, 2018 page 5
over occupied home, other instances compelled us to realize we had to address it somehow.
Whether this code gets adopted or not, whether it's the right approach, those are the questions we
are going to have to answer but I think it's a very real concern to worry about what is plan B for
people who do get put out and it's not necessarily for just unsafe conditions, it's for all sorts of
reasons. And do we loosen the code? I mentioned today, are we ready to take other steps to
create apartments that can comply with the code? Do we loosen the code to make some of these
more compliant? You know, I even talked about the amnesty component which I am not saying
I support yet but we have to have a discussion to say, look, this might cause'some displacement.
Let's do what we can to promote placement.
MR. DUNN: Perfect example, somebody who built a garage on the side of their house and they
don't have the proper setback, so now the house is non-compliant. It's not unsafe...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Right.
MR. DUNN: But it's not in compliance. Are you going to force someone onto the streets
because there's a garage that someone, that to me would be ridiculous.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, well, a lot of that would require a code change. So that's what
I am saying if we do this.
MR. DUNN: Or a variance.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: There's the crux of the matter is, if the person is living in that place
already, we told them, go ahead, we give them amnesty for a certain amount of time and now
they are living there, okay, and they have contract for living there and suddenly that owner says
well, I don't want to go through the variance process, where do we go from there? You know
what I mean?
MR. DUNN: Understood. (Inaudible) But again, like I am saying, with the instance of
someone that put an illegal garage that created an encroachment or something like that, it's not
an endangerment but the mention was out there'about aluminum wire. I mean, that could be
really hairy.
Supervisor Russell
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: It's why I talked about a plan B and that would be to promote and
loosen the rules. In the case that you just mentioned, it's possible that a variance can be granted
from the setback but if the apartment exceeds a certain size cap which is in the current code,
which caps how much size, that means you have got to revisit the code to loosen the�code to
make sure you don't have those unintended consequences. It's, there needs to be a package,
there needs to be a plan B which is what I mentioned if we do this, let's sit down and look at
these codes'and say okay, how can we encourage that these apartments are compliant with the
code, not just from a safety perspective but from a zoning perspective, the converted garage,
separate garage in the back, those types of things. Thanks Robert. Would anybody else like to
address the Board on any of the agenda items? (No response)

relation to Rental Permits" and
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid

A. The Town Board of the Town of Southold has determined that there exists in the

are inadequate in size, overcrowded and dangerous, and such dwelling units pose
hazards to life, limb and property of residents of the Town and others, tend to
promote and encourage deterioration of the housing stock of the Town, create blight
and excessive vehicle traffic and parking problems and to overburden municipal
services. The Board finds that current Code provisions are inadequate to halt the
proliferation of such conditions and that the public health, safety,welfare and good

Comment regarding resolution 986
TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Mr. Supervisor, this morning in executive session, we had some
personnel discussions regarding the budget and so we had certain amendments and the
Supervisor's office full-time regular earnings was increased $6,000.00; Superintendent of
Highways full-time regular earnings was increased $3,000.00 for a total of$9,000.00 and
(inaudible) was reduced by $9,000.00 for additional (inaudible)net increase of 0.0 %, so the
motion would be to adopt the budget as amended.
COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: I just want to make a comment first, Scott did a pretty good job on
making a nice, tight budget and I have got to commend you on that, Scott. I know you do a lot
of work and all the department heads and certainly the comptroller had a lot to do with it. But
the budget doesn't contain accreditation for the Police Department. It contains one less police
officer than I think we should have and even though I am going to vote for the budget, I am kind
of disappointed we couldn't support the accreditation with this budget.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, with a comment. 2019 is a unique year, we actually had the
settlement of both of the town's unions, both at the same time, so any of the attendant costs there
had to financed all in fiscal 2019. In addition to that, we had an increase in our NYSHIP plan of
$855,000, that's 10 % over last year. I appreciate everything Councilman Dinizio just said, the
additional costs to pursue the accreditation for this budget would have been what I believe the
Police Chief estimated to be about $150,000-$175,000; it certainly is a good goal and something
we should keep in mind for the future, I just didn't think given all the circumstances of the
budget for 2019, it was costly to absorb at least in that fiscal year.

Board on this budget hearing to please feel free?
COUNCILMAN RULAND: I would like to comment, the, and I don't want you to feel Mr.
Supervisor, that I am redundant but each year...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: You keep saying that.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: That's redundant. A lot of work goes into the preparation of a
budget and it begins very early, August, September and it takes a lot of people's time but I would
be remiss if I didn't offer to you my thanks for the amount of time that you put in and to the
Comptroller who happens to be sitting in the audience, and you and your staff and doubly
difficult because you are rather new at the Town of Southold and it's taken you a while to learn
how and why and what and when and all of the things that you do but I think again, we have
come up with something that in a difficult time, we can live with and that's my comment.

JIM UNDERWOOD: Hi, I am Jim Underwood, I live in Laurel and I am on the Southold Town
Helicopter Advisory Committee. As I am sure you are aware, first I would like to thank the town
for their ongoing efforts to combat helicopter and aircraft noise. It's been a long battle. We
finally have a bit of an opening, as you said before and I think you are aware, the FAA is going
to have a public whether it is a hearing or a forum, the date is next Wednesday November 14 at
600 Han-ison Avenue which is Riverhead Middle School from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Our hope is
that, well, we are trying to get as many people as possible and we are encouraging the board to
assist us in these efforts. I know that there is in the works a public service announcement or a
flyer that we desperately need. We only have a week to go. Our goal is the elimination of this
controversial Northshore route which as you are well aware, helicopters leave from the city cut
across from Northville, Nassau Point, Laurel and make their way to East Hampton. The North
Fork and Riverhead benefits not at all from this current route, so we are hoping for a southshore
route that would fly directly across the Atlantic Ocean. Bob, you had something to say on this, I
believe?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Well, I have a PSA coming out on the radio, I will be submitting it
tomorrow morning. It is already done, I just have to get it on the air, announcing it so that as
many people from the East End and I geared it for people from the East End, the whole East End,
try to get as many people as we can to come to the meeting in Riverhead.
MR. UNDERWOOD: Will that go on LNG?
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Yes, it will be on LNG and I think that the more people that we get
there, even if they can't actually make public comment at that time, let's face it, if it's a two
hour meeting and 1,000 people show up, there won't be any...
MR. UNDERWOOD: That would be great.
COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: With that being said, I would encourage anybody who comes, come
with a prepared written statement because they will accept those statements as well, so we can
submit them.

MR. UNDERWOOD: There is also, I am not sure exactly how to do it but the federal registry,
there is provision in this bill for comment that people can file on-line as well. I have attempted
but it is rather involved.

MR. DEEGAN: Pardon?

COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: We tabled the decision for further discussion.
MR. DEEGAN: Will there be another public hearing on it?
Southold Town Board Regular and Budget Hearing Meeting
November 7, 2018 page 42
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: The public hearing was closed two weeks ago and we had
discussion at our work session today and due to that discussion, I requested that we table the
decision for further discussion. So at this time, we don't know what is going to happen.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The formal public hearing has been closed, however, if it appears on
the agenda and it will in two weeks, the public has the right to comment prior to us getting into
the agenda to take action. And obviously at the close at any Town Board meeting they have the
right to speak up but if the public wants to address this, they are free to come and before we get
to work on the agenda we ask anybody that wants to comment on any of the agenda items to
please feel free at that time.
MR. DEEGAN: Okay, well do you mind if I comment on it now?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: No.
MR. DEEGAN: Okay, as I stated before a few weeks ago, I think this is an overreach of
government. I think it's another layer of government that we certainly, I don't believe we need
and I am beginning to think it's like a jobs program and that's put on the backs of the taxpayers
and the homeowners. And we have few enough rentals as it is in Southold Town and I think you
are going to drive away people from renting their houses, so there will be less housing and
affordable housing, in the case of Mattituck because of this law and I really think it's just an
overreach of government. Another layer of government we don't need. And I think you all ran
on the mantra of smaller government and here we are expanding government for no good reason
that I can see except maybe jobs for somebody. And I think it's something that you really ought
to consider, that this is a law that is not needed in this town. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Town Board? (No
response)
