SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's the end of our agenda. At this time, I'd like
to ask anyone in the audience if they would like to address the Town Board.
Sir?
JOSEPH CORNELL: Mr Murphy, first of all, I'm very happy we have members
of the press here, because on numberous other occasions, I've asked why you
don't have a microphone in front of each member of the Council. I don't under-
stand why you still don't have it. You've got three of them separated up there,
and most times I can't hear. It's very important that members of the press
can, so I can read it in the, paper. I don't understand why you can!t have
six up there for your members, as well as one for the Town Attorney, because
like to hear him when he speaks.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The point is well made, and it's an oversight.
JOSEPH CORNELL: All right. Now, again, I'm asking, why don't you get a micro-
phone for each member of the Town Board, so that we can hear? A lot of times
I can't hear. I can't hear Ellen Larsen. The only one I can hear is you and
Ruth. Another thing, I have one question to ask here. Your salary for the
Town Attorney I' heard was $27,000.00. Is that correct? What's the salary for
the Assistant Town Attorney?
5 QQ
JANUARY 3, 1989
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The Town Attorney is basically a part-time job, and the
other attorney, his assistant that he works under, is a full-time job. The man is
not allowed to have a law practice in the Town. Is not allowed to practice here.
That was $42,500.00.
JOSEPH CORNELL: I understand now. That's something I didn't.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: He's a full-time employee of the Town.
JOSEPH CORNELL: He's full time?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Every day from 9 to 5.
JOSEPH CORNELL: Who represents us now when you get somebody like Zara in
here and everything else? Who represents us?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The Town Attorney represents us on most all cases.
JOSEPH CORNELL: That would be Schondebare?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, or Rob Berntsson. They both do.
JOSEPH CORNELL: They both do?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Right. There are special cases were certain types of law
suits have to go out to a private firm, but mostly they're handled by in-house
attorneys.
J OSEPH CORNELL: I see. Thank you. Now I have one other question here. You're
going to Fishers Island again. You have a couple of people here that have no
compensation, but then you have one for $2,200.00, and another for $1,700.00
protecting. Protecting, what? What the wetlands or something on Fishers Island?
What is that? What are they protecting there, Mr. Edwards?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: They're harbor masters. They're like the bay constables.
JOSEPH CORNELL: What are they really protecting on Fishers Island?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: What are they protecting? They're making sure that the
people that come over there from Connecticut are anchoring where they should.
They're also patrolling the harbors to prevent the speeders, to ticket the speeders
over there, and just to more or less patrol the waters in and around Fishers Island.
JOSEPH CORNELL : Well, the moneys not that great, but I was curious to know
why you have the things over there when you have a, resident, and so few people.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Well, resident of so few people, we pay 8% of your taxes
over here in Southold, and these are people that are part of the budget of the
Police Department. Actually it's the Police that are paying these people to patrol
that area. Your Policemen, your Bay Constables do not get over to Fishers Island
- on a regular basis, so we have our own police over there
TOWN CLERK TERRY: How many people are there in the summer, Ray?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: The population goes up to five thousand people in the
summertime.
JOSEPH CORNELL: We got forty some odd thousand out here, but we only have
.21 . thousand normally. Right?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes.
JOSEPH CORNELL: You can't base everything on summer residents.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Oh, no. No.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: They have a lot of water, and it really is necessary
over there, on Fishers Island. We're very fortunate to have two people to be so
dedicated and really to work for such a reasonable. . . .
JOSEPH CORNELL: The amount of money is not that great. I was just curious.
JANUARY 3, 1989 5 9
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It really is necessary.
JOSEPH CORNELL: Okay, thank you..
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Wish there where more people that asked some of
these questions.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, is there anyone else? (No response.) If not,
a resolution to close the meeting, and thank you.
JOSEPH CORNELL: The salary of your Building Department employees?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's set by CSEA contract.
JOSEPH CORNELL: That wasn't mentioned here.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: That's not one that we set. That's done by contract, as
the patrolman, also.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : It's the union.
JOSEPH CORNELL: All your Building Department employees aren't on civil service.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, they are.
JOSEPH CORNELL: They are now. Mr. Lessard is, also, now.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes.
Moved by Supervisor Murphy, seconded by Councilwoman Oliva, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board Organizational Meeting be and hereby is adjourned
