Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would everybody please rise for the Pledge to the Flag? Thank you. I am going to ask anybody that would like to comment on any of the agenda items to please feel free? Peter? Peter Harris, Greenport PETER HARRIS: Peter Harris, Greenport. Good afternoon everyone. I am sorry, please bear with me. Item # 1076, I know earlier this year you had talked about capital expense for Fishers Island for sidewalk work and I see now there's also $500,000 marked down here for I guess the mainland in the Town. Is there a specified area where this $500,000 is being spent? That we know of? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I actually think there is, it probably should have been included in the agenda. I know you had raised an issue with regard to a problem area, if you want to contact me tomorrow, I will give you a specific idea on where this work will be done. MR. HARRIS: That will be great, Scott, because just this past week or so there was a crew from the highway department that was down on the Main Street in Greenport, clearing sidewalks of all types of debris, what have you, they did a bang up job cleaning it up but it only brings to light Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 4 how bad the sidewalks, especially on Main Street, how bad they are. So, I just assumed that when I saw this $500,000, that it has probably already been earmarked for somewhere. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I think it is. MR. HARRIS: Oh, that's it for right now. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to comment on any of the agenda items? Anne Murray, East Marion ANNE MURRAY: Anne Murray from East Marion. I wanted to comment on item 1045 and urge the Town Board to please, please enact this rental permit law. I hope you will be voting on it tonight. It's been a long time coming, what two, three years Jill? Since you started working on it... COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Well, since I really started working on it about one and a half years but we have been talking about it for three years. MS. MURRAY: Right. I think it's a long time coming and I urge the town to do this because we need safe housing for everyone. Thank you. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to comment on any of the agenda items? (No response) Let's get to the agenda. V. Resolutions 2018-1042 CATEGORY.

SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, I just want to comment quickly because I had wrestled with this and it was actually some reservation I had in supporting it. There were several public hearings, the original legislation was admittedly perhaps overly prescribed. It's been stripped down to its most basic, very, very straightforward provisions. It removes the necessity of having a town official inspecting your property, you do have the opportunity of going to an outside engineer. It addresses long standing safety, health and welfare issues, with regard to giving fire marshals access for ensuring that the properties are safe. I also want to address what Jill said, I hate passing new restrictions if we don't have to but people should keep in mind we have actually loosened the code over the past few years that have made accessory apartments much easier to get approval for than they had been in years. We have loosened the rules considerably and when you do that, you loosen the rules in one respect, there's unfortunately an intended necessity to strengthen the code in other places. I vote yes. 2018-1045 Tabled 11/7/2018 7:00 PM, 11/20/2018 4:30 PM, 12/4/2018 7:30 PM C,4TEGORY.

Public Hearinjjs Closing Comments Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay, that completes the business of the agenda, I would invite anybody that would like to address the Town Board to please feel free? Theresa? Theresa McKasty THERESA MCKASTY: Thank you for the opportunity to speak and I want to thank the Town Board for coming the other day on a very cold Wednesday at Iron Pier beach to support Riverhead Town Board in requesting that the FAA provide the public with a public hearing. With that said, I am in receipt of a letter that Southampton Town had written to the US Department of Transportation. which I would like to read to you briefly and it says, 'To Whom it May Concern, In follow-up to our attached letter submitted on December 13, 2018 regarding the north shore helicopter route, notwithstanding there needs to be a meaningful public hearing process with hearings being held within the east end towns affected. Not only were the three workshops hosted by the FAA inadequate but also failed to meet the legal standard pursuant to the statute which required the FAA to hold a public hearing within 30 days of enactment of the FAA authorization act of 2018. therefore. I urge you to schedule public hearings regarding this matter on the east end of Long Island as soon as possible. Respectfully Submitted, Christine Scalera, Councilwoman. And she copied Councilman Lee Zeldin, Senator Charles Schumer, Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 50 Southampton Town Board, Southampton Airport Noise Advisory Committee, the Noyack Civic Council and their local media. So I am asking that if possible, our Town Board would consider writing a similar letter to the United States Department of Transportation, to have a formal document to request the very same thing and I am trying to coordinate that with the Town of Riverhead as well. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Sure. Theresa, can you get me a copy of the template tomorrow? Email me and we'll get it out right away. MS. MCKASTY: Okay, yes. Thank you very much. Thank you for all your support throughout this journey. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you for the effort that you are making. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Just a reminder, if anybody would like to make comments, the comment period on the federal register concerning the north shore route is up until January 2. So if you would like to make any comments, you can get to the comment section by clicking on a link on the Town Board's website. So if anybody is interested, go there and it's pretty simple. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Peter Harris, Greenport PETER HARRIS: Good evening again, Peter Harris, Knapp Place Greenport. Former Superintendent of Highways, Town of Southold. When I was up earlier, the second thing I wanted to ask, I couldn't find it at the time, was the #1079, resolved the Town Board Town of Southold hereby appoints Margaret Brock to the position of temporary account clerk for the Highway Department. The account clerk that was there, is she no longer there? SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can't comment on personnel issues. This is a matter with regard to personnel, I cannot comment. MR. HARRIS: Okay, alright. That's that. This past week, one morning when I was waiting to do my due diligence of babysitting for my grandson, I happened to be watching channel 22 and I watched the town board work session prior to the last town board meeting. During that meeting, the highway superintendent was present and was stating to the board members how much time and effort he had spent selling used highway equipment via auction international. My question is, for someone who worked so hard to sell this equipment, that it be driven off town property with the Southold Town logos still affixed to the doors of these trucks. Any time while I was in office and any auction that I had ever went to and bought municipal equipment, those logos had to be either removed or defaced. You don't send a vehicle down the road with a Southold Town logo affixed on the side of these vehicles. I happened to pass one of them in Riverhead, on Route 58. It was getting ready to go up on the Long Island Expressway. Who fell asleep at the switch? And I can't say but I have got to go right to the top because that's the person that is supposed to oversee everything. And to let any of those vehicles to be driven out of our town highway facility with those town logo's still intact, god forbid, god forbid if one of those vehicles had been used in an un-law abiding situation. Southold Town. I don't get it. Five years Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 51 on the job and something like that? To some people and it sounds like I am talking out of my hat but that's a serious thing to let these vehicles left the facilities. They should have either been towed or taken on trailers out of there not just to be driven down the road. Next thing was that I heard through the grapevine that one of the purchasers had purchased two vehicles and he got over $800 worth of fuel out of the fuel tanks. The fuel tanks were full. Why would we sell a vehicle at auction and have the tanks be full of fuel? Who was asleep at the switch? That's only two of the trucks that I know about. I don't know about the rest of them. I don't know, was the insurance taken off these vehicles before they left, I hope? I mean, it would have been a pretty sad sight for this town if one of those vehicles had been involved in an accident. I don't know. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am just going to ask if the Town Attorney, will you contact the Highway Superintendent tomorrow and look at the issue whether town's have to have the insignia removed? TOWN ATTORNEY DUFFY: Yes. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: And then advise him accordingly? MR. HARRIS: I will tell you they do, Scott. When I used to purchase vehicles out of New York City, down at Brooklyn Navy Yard, every single vehicle that the City of New York sold, their markings were defaced. Any vehicle that I sold, no logos, if we couldn't get the decal off, they were spray painted over so you couldn't read them. Let's see, oh, while listening to the work session, there was an issue about a six wheel dump truck, combination flow and dump body, $145,000. Well, these six wheel dump trucks, they have a capacity of eight or nine cubic yards, alright, when I was in office hence,post being in office, the town had purchased used New York City sanders, Mack sanders. Twenty plus cubic yard capacity. No matter what year the vehicle is, the city of New York, they have a standard spec so a truck that was made in 2000 is identical to a truck that is built in 2018. It's the same exact specification, so that if we bought, if the town bought some used vehicles, they were identical. No matter what the year, the truck is identical, so that when you, I mean, when I was buying the trucks at the city auction, I think the most they ever spent was $7,000. And if you got and they had roughly 19,000-20,000 miles on them. If you got five years, five years, you basically were spending, figure like $1,200-$1,300 a year. That's pretty cheap. Five year throwaway. Now the city no longer has the auction, so they have been purchasing these sanders through a private vendor and I think now they are spending I don't know, $30-35,000. If that, for a truck that can hold almost three times the amount and it costs '/4 of a brand new truck that holds eight or nine cubic yards, to me it doesn't make sense to go and buy that $145,000 flow and dump body. It just doesn't, being in the business for 43 years, it makes sense to me. I know some people don't think that way but quite honestly, those trucks that we bought from the city, the last year I was in office I had bought, you could adapt an adaptor to put a regular snow plow, the city, they have a different low bearing plow but there was an adaptor you could buy and put on the front of the truck so that truck could carry the same kind of plow our other plows could carry. So Riverhead Town they have done it, it just doesn't make sense to me to go out and spend $145,000 for, not saying you might not need a truck but it doesn't make sense to me to go out and spend $145,000 for a truck that you could buy for '/4 the amount and then you have, first of all, you are going to burn less fuel, you are Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 52 going paying the driver less time because he is not going to be coming back and forth to be re- loaded because in this town, we only have a central loading location. So if you are up in Laurel or you are out in Orient Point and you run out of material, you have got to come all the way back to Peconic. So with these trucks, with the bigger spreaders, you can get three times the amount done. And you are saving time and fuel of running back and forth. I listened to the Superintendent saying how much money he got from the auction and he was moving funds around to tell you how he could go and buy a truck and quite honestly, you stopped him in his tracks because he hadn't come prior or he hadn't spoken to the Supervisor or anybody else but you know, I'm not saying I'm the greatest but some of the things that are going on just don't make any sense. You also had a discussion and trying to chase my grandson and trying to listen at the same time, it was about the catch vats and I think it had to do with keeping records about the daily use, well, when I was in office, I drew up a log sheet that was used on a daily basis by the operator of that vehicle because you didn't always have the same operator every day but there was a log book in there with log sheets and in that log you log the location of the basin, the condition of the catch basin, how much material was removed, how much time was spent at each location. We didn't keep, I never kept track of miles because you are not doing a lot of miles unless you are working in Laurel or you are working in Orient Point and you are coming back to where they discharge the material. So I don't, I don't know, he made a statement that well, we just started doing that on Monday. I am just wondering, if this is the same information you were looking at, what I just stated? COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: You are asking me? Yes. MR. HARRIS: I don't understand, Jim. We had this, we had this in place.... COUNCILMAN DINIZIO: Well, I can say this because I have been on the board now for six years. A lot of things that are logged are just that, logged and they are not necessarily used to measure productivity on a regular basis. You know, so I am encouraging them to take that next step and start using that information to get more productivity out of those. You know, yes, I believe those logs still exist, okay, but the next step needs to be that you do on a weekly basis or whatever, that log and do a report on it and have a monthly report that says you know, the truck was here or there and maintenance all of that and you know, it's placed down into writing, not just a log in a book, so it's the next step. I can't say that what you described still doesn't exist, I believe it does. MR. HARRIS: Okay. And I will say this, out of all the machinery that A, any highway department uses the two types of machinery that have the biggest wear and tear on them is an air vac and a street sweeper because with an air vac and you are sucking up and you have got sand and gravel, all kinds of things and it's being going up through these metal pipes, I mean, there are areas where it is a big rubber hose but there's elbows and what have you, that these pipes, they do. they wear holes right through them. The same thing with the mechanical sweeper, you have so much abrasion with the materials that these two types of machinery, you get a tremendous amount of wear and tear, no matter who is in charge, okay? I don't know what the situation is now, the person that used to fix, replace all these worn out parts just retired recently from Southold Town, big loss for you people, I am going to tell you. the guy worked magic Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 53 many, many times and, of getting that stuff back up and when the last air vac that I purchased, well, I turned around and I sunk like $60,000 into the second one that you still have, stating that it doesn't have the draw anymore to pull from a basin but they are still using it to pick up wood chips and do puddles and what have you. I mean, it's worth the while to reinvest because you know, I think it was like, I don't know, close to $300,000 for that air vac but it's a very important piece of machinery, you know, it's not a pickup truck, it's not an eight or nine cubic yard flow and dump, this is a specialty piece of equipment that working with Jamie and Michael and they go out now, they have the camera that they can go and go through, cross pipes and they have the irrigator that can go in and open the cross pipes up, it's important, it's very important that but we as, you people sitting up on that dais need to remember, it costs money to be in business and you can't always let some pieces of equipment just go till they are just totally dead. You have got to make that step forward and even if you go and buy, not even buy it, if you have one that's in really good condition and you have one that is ready to die, okay, maybe you don't have the money to go, that $300,000 but there's got to be something for $150,000 out there that's still in good shape that can still do the job for you because we have a lot of, we have a lot of flooding issues still in this town, even with the amount of drainage that has been put in over the years, and if the water doesn't get off the road, you have to go there with that air vac and you have to take that water and get that hazardous situation off the road. So, I have taken enough of your time. Have a merry Christmas. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Pete. Merry Christmas. Doug Roberts, Greenport DOUG ROBERTS: Good evening, Doug Roberts, Greenport. You read a lot of national news, some of it is very troubling. Election fraud, disenfranchise of voters around the country. Troubling stuff. And when you read that stuff, you think well, at least that doesn't happen in my town, at least that doesn't happen here. Well, friends, it did. and it look like it has been maybe for a while and I am here tonight because I am a little concerned, most of you know that I am a Greenport Village Trustee, I am probably the least powerful elected official in New York State. I am about the only elected official around here that's willing to say anything about it so far and that's very troubling and that's why I am here. We have two people that were arrested and charged with trying to steal an election including misrepresenting themselves while on the clock, taxpayer funded as Board of Election employees, pretending they are Green Party members getting signatures for candidates. Forging signatures of deceased people. It's sick. Here in Southold, allegedly. These two gentlemen had political patronage positions by virtue of their membership on the Southold Republican Committee, the same committee that put everybody up there on the ballot. There is a video posted on the Southold GOP twitter feed that is not aging well. In it, we see a gathering at the Mattituck Veteran part two weekends before this last election, we see many familiar faces in the crowd, some of you folks. We see a speech by GOP chairman McGreevy and the camera pans over just as Mr. McGreevy says the words about our Congressman, `he's a normal, everyday guy just like us' and we see him palling around with a man who was just arrested and charged with election fraud, on the committee, Board of Elections employee. The same person was also running interference it seems, in Greenport during the Maritime fest when the candidates, congressional candidates were appearing, potentially even helping to guide the tracker who was shoving his camera phone in my face when I walked Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 54 around with Perry Gershon, harassing me. So this person was intrinsically linked with this campaign, it's very concerning. When all this was happening, we have heard nothing from our GOP elected officials. You are mute on it. Why? Is there something to hide? Is this the kind of activity you want to support but being silent on it, it makes you complicit. So that leads to more questions, what else is going on with the Southold GOP? What did the committee officials and the chair know and when did they know it? Why is everyone afraid to condemn this stuff? How much influence does the party have over what happens here at Town Hall? Now keep in mind, there have been many other election irregularities around here recently. In this past congressional cycle, I was one of many concerned citizens calling in a couple of weeks before the election to Legislator Krupski, County Executive Bellone because the Republican Commissioner Lalota, Board of Elections Commissioner Lalota unilaterally decided to cutoff on- site absentee balloting, on his own, without any sort of checks and balances. Well, County Legislator and County Executive got involved, that practice was ended. By the way, the absentee ballots came in pretty strong for the Democratic candidate. As a poll watcher in Greenport during this past election, I noticed that poll workers, I really think it was an honest mistake by poll workers they are good folks, but for some reason, the instructions from BOE made it seem that they needed to put a piece of paper on the table that said show your drivers license. That's of course, only for folks that didn't vote in the last couple of elections. I got that situation fixed through a couple of phone calls as a poll watcher but why did that only happen in Greenport. Hopefully, this is just a misunderstanding. This calls into question everything though. We have got to look at everything now. Last town election cycle, a fellow Greenporter called the police because somebody was stealing a campaign sign for a Democratic candidate in front of her house. It turns out it was a Republican candidate. You can check the police report. A town councilman stole my private text messages and made them public in a bizarre 45 minute campaign stunt circus of slander and carrying on at a village board meeting, a village by the way he doesn't live in, doesn't vote in. Then he took the phone over to his facebook page, where he held court as his supporters took shots at me and my family including threats to come to my home and harass me. We had a three year old at the time. It's behavior unbecoming of a human being and unbecoming of an elected official. But I digress. Countless farmers and winemakers come to these meetings when you have hearings on agri-business issues, they claim they feel they are taking a risk in speaking up, fearing their businesses might be harmed because a permit won't get approved, code enforcement. What is going on? Somebody in the Southold GOP didn't like a facebook post of mine, so I got a message on facebook saying take it down or else. Or else. I could go on with these stories, everybody in town knows about it. Why all these attempts at intimidation? Why cover up and protect committee people who may have tried to steal an election? When things are confusing, it usually helps to follow the money. According to public records, Southold GOP committee members and their family members collect $217,000 per year in Board of Election salaries. Here in Southold, town taxpayers fund GOP committee people and their family members to the tune of $970,000 in salaries for staff in appointed positions. With an additional almost $700k in elected official compensation. That doesn't include the health care. So being a Southold GOP committee person allows one to feed a trough of almost $2,000,000 in taxpayer dollars. The town's budget is only $45 million. $20 million of that is salary, so it's about 10 % of the salaries going to families of committee members. So to me, that's astounding when compared to these other things. If we had no election fraud issue, you know, things were kind of going okay, we don't have to talk about it. Does that explain why Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 55 there's such silence around this election fraud issues and these voter intimidation tactics. Look, there's a surprising amount of agreement at your meetings. With one party rule, there often isn't anyone around to blow the whistle. I would imagine that the party that put you here would like to keep the gravy train going. Now, how far would that party go to protect this? It seems someone on the committee may have been willing to break some laws. We elect you to speak up, regardless of your party affiliation. When you see something is not right, that somebody is trying to hide something from the public, we want you to speak up. People over party. At our work session at the Village Thursday night, I am going to have some difficult questions to ask our mayor about why the flooding on Fifth Street and Fifth Avenue hasn't been fixed. He and I do good work together, in part because we are willing to challenge each other when we have to, when we feel it is right. I am asking you all to do that with each other as well. It our job as elected officials to be watchdogs and advocate for the people we serve. Now look, I don't know many of you very well at all outside of your public lives. We say hello at parades, you seem like nice folks, we exchange pleasantries. I don't believe in my heart of hearts that everybody sitting up on this dais wants to be associated fraud and other voter intimidation tactics, I don't. I was telling a Republican friend the other day, you know, you and I are never going to vote for the same people for congress or president, but the R or D after our names doesn't matter when it comes to ethics, common sense, getting things done locally. To be fair, this Board does some pretty un-Republican things. You raise taxes every year, increase elected officials compensation every year, I am a registered Democrat, I have done a lot in the Village to free businesses from regulations. Democrats are probably mad at me about that but you know, we do what we have got to do, what we think is right. We don't all fit into these boxes of R and D, right? So I think some, maybe all of you on this Board want to do right. I am here tonight to urge you to speak up. Tell your committee chair publicly that election fraud is a serious matter and you won't allow him to keep people on the committee who have proven to be involved in it and suspend them, maybe, while they are being investigated. Call for a full investigation with the Board of Elections. Send that up the flagpole with your party at the county level, look into those decisions that have been made to disenfranchise Suffolk County and Southold voters. Remove any hint of political meddling by unelected people at Town Hall. Because I can tell you this, those of you who do this, you will earn respect from this Democrat and probably many others. And who knows, maybe you will earn a few votes too. Please, end your silence on the election fraud issues, stand up for ethics, stand up for justice. Thank you for listening. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Leroy, I am going to have her go and then you can go right after. Kathryn Quigley, Greenport KATHRYN QUIGLEY: Hi, my name is Kathryn Quigley, Greenport. I am here as Chairwoman of the Southold Town Democratic committee to reiterate some of the things that Doug Roberts said. Approximately one year ago, I came before you to address my concerns about accountability and transparency within the Town Board and one of the reasons I spoke about this issue is because I believe that one party rule carries a risk of fostering corrosive, corrupt, anti-democratic behavior and in the absence of a balance of power among our elected officials, transparency and open, consistent communication with voters can help alleviate those concerns. However, I regret that today, about one year later, residents are learning firsthand of the dangers of corruption and silence resulting from one party rule. On December 4"', two Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 56 Southold town residents were arrested for alleged fraudulent petition schemes involving the Green Party. These individuals knowingly submitted nominating petitions for candidates containing forged signatures, including signatures of people who had died. It has been well- reported that these individuals are Board of Election employees, which is of course, deeply concerning. What is also concerning, but in my opinion has been somewhat less reported is that these individuals are both Southold Town GOP committeemen. In this position, they are responsible for gathering signatures on petitions for all Southold Town GOP candidates. So what does this have to do with you? You have all been and presumably will be again, Southold Town GOP candidates. This means that this scandal relates directly to each of you. Now, let me be clear, I am not implying that any of you were in anyway personally were involved in this fraudulent scheme. What I am saying is now that these unfortunate acts have happened, it has significant bearing on you as GOP elected officials. Official representatives that got you on the ballot, the party that worked to elect you, the party that represented both you and the majority of voters who voted you into your positions, have been arrested for election fraud. That is why, frankly, as Doug said, that these arrests happened two weeks ago, their actions have been reported on and known of for many months, yet none of you, no one on the Town Board has said a word publicly so much as expressing concern, condemning their actions or calling for an investigation into your own party to ensure that these fraudulent behaviors don't run more deeply. Again, I am not implying you played a role in this, however, your subsequent failure to speak out once these actions came to light, actions that erode voters trust in our democratic systems, makes each of you complicit. What's more, it leads one to question your silence. Why, as our town's elected representatives, public servants, have you not had the courage to speak up with regard to a very concerning issue that so directly concerns the public and our trust in the election process? Why not call for an investigation? How do we know that this fraud isn't more rampant and hasn't been happening even beyond the Green Party line? Especially since they have the actual authority to collect signatures for the GOP. Are you worried about what else you might find? Are you satisfied with Mr. McGreevy's statement that the issue will be dealt with internally, AKA secretly, behind closed doors and without transparency? I can assure you, voters will not be content with that level of secrecy and corruption. It's this very culture of secrecy that creates an environment in which cheating and fraud can flourish. I ask you, is this the party that you want to run for reelection with? A party secretly sweeping its committeemen's election fraud under the rug with no assurances that this fraud doesn't run deeper? We are seeing election processes tested on a national level, time and again we are learning of ways that GOP across the country have, as the Suffolk Times put it so aptly this week, looked to cheat to win. It is deeply disturbing that we are seeing these same trends happening locally and it is incumbent upon all of us to hold our elected officials and political parties accountable. As such, I call on each of you to take a public position on this issue and to call on GOP Chair McGreevy to bring the necessary reforms in order to protect your party, all voters and our political system. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Leroy, I am going to have you go. Sir, you can speak after Leroy. Leroy Heyliger, Mattituck LEROY HEYLIGER: Good evening, my name is Leroy Heyliger, I live in Mattituck. Deacon at the Unity Baptist Church and I have two issues that I would like to address to the Board, first Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 57 is about our community on Factory Avenue, the African-American, Latino community and the residents of the Cottages. I want to thank the Board for assigning your Deputy, Denis Noncarrow to look into the matter about the trucks that we are having, the flow of traffic and any improvements that can be done to alleviate the conditions on Factory Avenue. The speeding, the parking of those trucks, etc., that has been going on for years and has been running over our church property. He has been very diligent and I am looking forward to working with him in the future as to the northern section, the residential section of Factory Avenue about pedestrian walkway. I know there's a lot of questions up there, they don't want sidewalks put in but it's gotten so hazardous now that something has to be done maybe a bike lane or some kind of a lane there where they can move those mailboxes back a little bit so people and people going up and down both sides of that street would have more room to walk and go over in the grass and it's especially dangerous at night, when, a rainy night, almost hit somebody going through that residential area. They had on dark clothing, it was raining and the next thing I knew, I had to swerve out of the way. This lady, she was carrying a child in her arms. The other thing that, on a personal matter, this local law public hearing, 1077, 1 am glad to see it's on here. I live right there on Wickham Avenue and right by the Mattituck creek and I am very concerned that this change would affect my quality of life and the quality of life of the residents of the Mattituck creek. We have enough problems with the flow of the creek itself and environmentally it's a very delicate area and the creek goes all the way down across the bottom of Wickham Avenue, all the way down to as far as Wolf Pit and further on down and it floods and they have problems and I want to ask the Board to, when this comes up, to consider the environmental impact and the quality of life that is going to affect us. I understand that they want to take part of that Mattituck Creek Lane, they want to change it to a Road and it's going to affect us in some way if they change those, if they put those parcels in in that area and I would appreciate it so much if they would consider this zone change. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Leroy. Ted Thirlby TED THIRLBY: My name is Ted Thirlby, I live in Southold. I am here also to talk about the recent charge of election fraud brought against members of this Southold Republican committee, who are paid employees by the Board of Elections. We have all heard about this kind of thing happening around the country but as it turns out, we are not isolated out here. It is upsetting to me and to all of us that it is happening right here in Southold. This is an attack on core American value and it's conducted by members of the Southold Town Republican Committee. The Republican campaign theme for the last election was "Results" but what we are seeing with these felony charges against committee members can only be understood as a result of low standards and poor leadership in the committee. We should all recall that the last Town Board election was extremely close, the seat was won by something like 34 votes. COUNCILMAN GHOSIO: Thirty two. MR. THIRLBY: Thank you. The question I have been hearing around Southold Town from Democrats and Republicans alike is, if the Republican Committee BOE employees are willing to commit felonies with petitions, what else were they willing to do? As Town Board members, you need to understand this is question that is being asked by your constituents. This goes to the Southold Town Board Regular Meeting December 18, 2018 page 58 very integrity of your seats here on the Board. Another question is, why have you as elected officials of the Town made no statement about this matter? As our elected officers, you are not on the Republican Committee but you now have a responsibility to represent the best interests of everyone in Southold Town. An obvious part of that responsibility would be to make sure that our local elections are free from fraud and meddling. As a voter of Southold Town, I ask that you make a public position on these charges. And that you request the Suffolk District Attorney investigate further into the workings of the Southold Town Republican Committee. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Who else would like to address the Board? Chris Larkin, Greenport CHRIS LARKIN: Good afternoon, Chris Larkin. I am actually a fairly newly elected Democratic committee person here in Southold and I was extremely upset to have learned that my compatriots, have been alleged to committed this fraudulent activity and I really would say that I urge you to speak out on it because there are so many questions, nationally, about whether or not we can trust, what's real news, what's fake news and I think that we have our Democratic committee person speaking out, (inaudible), I think it would be important for our elected officials to speak out and I am glad to hear that Doug would be making a statement in the near future for the Village, the Greenport Village but...oh, you did it already. Excellent. But I would urge you to speak out and I would say that we are going to follow the DA's investigation and as Kathryn said, we are not going to allow this to get swept under the rug. And I think, I urge you to get ahead of it as opposed to behind it because if other things, I don't know these people but I would say that maybe some other things have happened and you might want to be just ahead of the game if something else comes out of this. Thank you. Supervisor Russell SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Who else would like to address the Board? (No response) Motion to adjourn?
