I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, the first item on the agenda are Reports. These
Reports are all on file in the Town Clerk's Office for anyone who would like to read
them.
1. Dog Shelter Report -. April, 1988.
2. Recreation Advisory Board/Parks & Beaches Committee meetings, minutes

9. Councilmen's Reports. At this time I would like to ask the Councilmen
if they have anything special to report, starting on my right with. Councilman Penny.
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, Frank. I met with the Town Board and Dave Emilita
and reviewed the Generic Impact Statement and the results of the hearing on the
Master Plan. That was on the 10th. And last night attended ,the Water Advisory
Committee meeting. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ellen?---I might comment at this time,
two Town Board members are out of State. One's in Colorado and one's in Philadelphia.
Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN : Thank you, Frank. I attended the meeting of the Cede
Committee that was chaired by Councilwoman Oliva, where our main agenda item
was to review a proposed updating revision of our Site Plan Ordinance. Site plan
approval is required on all new commercial structures, any change in its, use, or
any major additions. In its review the Planning Board looked at the property's
drainage, lighting, traffic flow, parking, buffer areas, and landscapes. The Planning
Board currently feels that the site plan ordinance needs updating, seeing as it was
written in 1965, or a little bit after that, so we were dealing with that mainly at
that meeting. On Tuesday, May 10th, the Town Board met with Dave Emilita, the
Environmental Planner, who's working on our Master Plan, to go through the format
that we will be following for adoption of the GEIS to the Master Plan. On Wednesday,
May 11th, Councilwoman Oliva and myself held office hours again. I'd like to invite
anyone from the public who would like to attend. We're at Town Hall, at least one
of us, usual4y•both of us, every Wednesday from 2:00 to 5:00 P.M. On Thursday,
May 12th, there was a joint meeting of the Highway Committee and the Planning
Board; which was chaired by Councilwoman Cochran. Sidney Bowne, the engineer,
the Town Attorney, the Planning,. Board members, and myself, Councilwoman Oliva,
and Councilwoman Cochran were present to review the minor subdivision road specs.
The Planning Board found that they were developing an inconsistent pattern of roads
within the Town of Southold., so they asked the Highway Committee to come up with
some specifications that will apply to minor subs. We referred what we've come
up with to the Town Attorney and it will go from there to the Town Board. On
the evening of May 12th I attended League of Women Voters' Annual Dinner at the
General Wayne Inn. The guest speaker was Dr. Thomas Wickham, .who spoke on
his agricultural experiences and philosophies that he accumulated with 25 years
expeAs:ence living abroad and working with agriculture in third world countries.
It was a very interesting evening. He's a wonderful speaker. On Friday, May
13th, Highway Superintendent Ray Jacobs, a representative of the Suffolk County
Department of Public Health, Councilwoman Cochran and I, along with Ken Reeves,
16 4 MAY 17, 1988
did a tour and inspection of all our Town beaches, there are six of them. We reviewed
them for compliance with the Suffolk County Sanitary and Health Codes. We found
generally that the beaches and the buildings associated with the beaches were in
very good condition. There are some minor improvements that have to be made--normal
and usual repairs. We also found out at the time that the Town has to develop
an emergency response plan to drowning and medical treatment that are nor required
due to new State regulations. Ken Reeves, who is the head of our Recreation Depart-
ment, will be working with the Board of Health to develop them for Southold Town.
We had one bit of really nice news from Ray Jacobs in that the Student Council
from Mattituck and Cutchogue worked in the beaches in that area and gathered over
200 bags of garbage for pick up by the Highway Department. This was a tremendous
help to an already overloaded Highway Department staff. Later that day we found
out that Greenport was going down to clean Gull Pond. We were very disappointed
in Gull Pond, mainly because of the vandalism that's there. The Highway Departure
has gone to the extent of installing public phone booths at least three times and
they're ripped out. There was a lot of graffiti., a lot of broken glass down there,
but on the other hand the Student Council from Greenport has volunteered to paint
the building, it just turned out that the Highway Department had already gotten
down there. I hope that we can publicly congratulate these students prior to the
opening of the Town beaches. At 2:00 P.M. of that same afternoon Supervisor Murphy,
Town Clerk Terry, Ken Reeves, myself and Councilwoman Cochran attended our
Senior Citizens' Sports Awards where the various senior citizen clubs compete against
one another in tournaments for different sports and they have a good time. They
had a great time. It was a nice afternoon. Yesterday, Monday, May 16th, I attended
a Water Advisory Committee meeting with Councilman Penny and Councilwoman Oliva.
We have a new and enlarged Water Advisory Committee that consists of people from
the scientific community, people from the business community, and members of the
farming community. We felt we have a very well-rounded board right now so every
aspect can be addressed. The first meeting that they held they were given a great
deal of literature to review on Suffolk County water supply, all the many studies
that have been done, and the past work of the Water Advisory Committee. They
were asked to digest that and come to this Water Advisory Committee meeting with
any questions that'they may have. Their questions were all discussed among them-
selves and it was agreed at the next meeting that they will look at, directly, the
proposed Core Watershed Area for the Town and come back to the committee with
their feelings on that. The only other thing I'd like to say, Frank, is since we've
been involved with the Landfill, and Frank took us down to the Town Dump a few
weeks ago, where he had a piece of equipment that was sorting out and filtering
out areas that had been previously used as dump sites--filled areas of the dump--an.:
as they were digging this up we were told that it was an area that was filled about.
25 years -ago, and we became really aware of how plastic can sit in the Landfill.
Plastic was being dug, it was sitting there very nicely. And now just to show how
a town job can get you, I was at a nice dinner out to a restaurant on Saturday ,
and had a wonderful meal, and as the waitress came with butter in little plastic
container and, of course, instead of enjoying the dinner I thought about this plastic
that's going to end up in our Landfill, and I wanted to say, "Why didn't you just
slice the butter and put it on a plate and save us from another few inches?" But
to go from not so good to good, I had a bluefish dinner tonight--the bluefish are
in and that's really living. Thanks, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. Raymond?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Thank you, Frank. I did not make any of the meetings--the
earlier Work Session today. It was difficult getting over from the Island--no flying,
and it takes two ferry boats and got into Town Hall after the second Work. Session.
I was also over here on the 10th at 9:30 for a 9:00 o'clock meeting, which' I came
in at the tail end of. Nothing was loss, I did go down to the Motor Vehicle and
do my, thing for the people on the Island, and also found out that the Department
of Motor Vehicles will be coming over to the Island on Town Father's Day to do the
high school students that have had their driver's ed, and to upgrade any. New York
State license holders on the Island who want to go from a Class 5 to a 3, 2 or what r.
And they have consented to do that on Town Father's Day, which is a big, big
help. They will not do anything for the people off-island, the seasonal people. _
It's strictly for the residents of the Island, which is really a help to the people,
specially the kids. I mean for them -to. take their driver's ed over on Fishers Island
and New London and have to go down to White Plains and drive around there to
do their test, it's a bugger for them. So they're happy, and of course some of
the contractors--people who have to upgrade from a 5 to drive the oil trucks and
so forth and so on. State Police are are on the Island. Had my first lobster poacher
in last week and it cost him $145.00 for fishing in New York waters without 'the
proper permits and so forth, and the local lobstermen are very happy about that
because the Department of Environmental Conservation had a brand new boat, 'it
must be close to $100,000. It's a beautiful thing, and they've made three or four
trips to the Island and the local lobstermen are really looking for some enforcement
out there which we haven't had for the past couple years. So they're very happy
about that. The activity on the Island has been picking up. People are there on
MAY 17, 1988 165
the weekends and a lot of: them-are-sta_ihq, the =kids' are out of school. They've
all started their jobs over there. The job market is wide open on the Island. Of
course housing is down, but most of these kids' parents do have homes on the Island
and they're tucked in for the summer and away they go. There's been a program
set up by the Fishers Island Conservation people, and with some help, I believe
from the Town and from the County, they're digging wells out there to look down
and see what we have for an aquifer. They've dug probably fifteen wells on the
Island, driving down two inch casings. They've found some bad water, but they've
also found some excellent water. It looks like one of the best wells that they've
found is within 50 feet of the six inch water main, and the quality of the water
is excellent, which means it might be possible for the Suffolk County Department
of Health to okay them to. pump just directly into the main. We have some serious
problems with the water works on the Island, they have to redo the reservoir, and
in order to redo the reservoir it will have to be done off season and they have to
have a source of water where they can drain down the reservoir and still be able
to pump into the mains. So they're looking for -a couple of good wells. At least
they have one of them. 1 tasted the water Saturday and it's excellent, excellent
quality. But just to go a little further in how a person can tell water quality, I
had my little grandson with me--I don't know if you remember last meeting 1 said
we were taking my boat back from Greenport, which we did, had a beautiful trip--
left Brewers at 11 :00 o'clock and were on the Island for 12:30 lunch, and I showed
him a little spring that we have on the Island. We call it the Whitney Spring, and
this water bubbles out of there two or three gallons a minute, and people tell me
that this is a dome underneath the Island, and it's hard for me to believe that this
water's been coming out of there for years and years and years, and to me it's
got to come from Connecticut someplace. I don't see how there could be that much
water, fresh water. But my grandson, when I showed him the spring, he drank
from it and he looked at it how clear it was, but when we went down to this new
well that they dug and he tasted that, he said, "You know, Gramps, this tastes
different." And he's right. There's a little bit of iron to it, where the Whitney
Spring is crystal clear and beautiful tasting. Enough on water. Okay, we've cut
over an emergency telephone system on the Island, and this is something that
talked about with Mr. Clavin who's the President of the Telephone Company. We
have four telephones on the main drag on the Island, and it's free, where people
if they're in trouble can go and pick up the phone and dial any place on the Island,
but can't dial off the Island. And when we went to the contractors on the Island
to see who could come up with the best little telephone box, we've got four real
beautiful ones though. One's all cedar, one's plywood apoxy, another one's all done
in formica, and they're put in strategic places on the Island so people can use them.
And one of the fine points of this past couple weeks is some archeologists from New
York State were over on the Island checking on some of the shell heaps and the
indian digs over there, and they were in this one little dig that I never realized
was there, but they've gone back over 4,000 years with some of the artifacts that
they're pulling out of the ground there. With that, Frank, thank you. r
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Raymond. I would just like to add, yesterday
there were a group of.Rotary Exchange business people that visited Town Hall,
and they had planned to stay about two hours on their itinerary, and needless to
say we spent about an hour and a half talking about garbage. They were from
the Philippines, and they have basically the exact same problems on the Philippines
that all of Long Island, New York and this country are basically facing, and it was
really quite interesting to talk to them. They were very interested in what we were
doing, and that brings me to a couple of programs that we have in Southold Town.
Tomorrow we should get our final approval from the DEC on our Household Hazardous
Waste Storage Building. ' They're coming on a final inspection. We had a Battery
Collection Contest among the grade schools in Southold Town and it was amazing,
almost 10,000 household batteries were collected in about a weeks time. Now, . the
largest single source of contamination of heavy metals, lead, cadmium, mercury,
zinc, come from household batteries, and you could imagine how much contamination
that could contribute to our groundwater with these 10,000 batteries put in one
spot. So fare we've collected about four or five 55 gallon drums. We have contacted
a firm in Albany. It looks like some of these batteries have great recycling value,
and some .have ,a great cost to get rid of them., but the cost on the whole program
will probably almost be a washout. It might cost us a little something, but the cost
in the long run to the taxpayer arrd—future generations on cleaning up this heavy
metal contamination in the Landfill, in the ash from an incinerator, in the compost
from a composting operation, is fantastic the potential savings that future generations
will have. I'm very happy. We had our consultant out today. We had our final
draft of the RFP, the Request for Proposals for composting systems. We're giving
it one. more review. We;:U have comments sometime next week and by the end of
next week these will be mailed out and hopefully we'll start talking to contractors
and firms probabl;- -around the end of July, and hopefully by the. end of the year
we'll have a contract signed with a firm and this I believe will probably be the
greatest salvation, or help for the taxpayers in Southold Town.

TOWN ATTORNEY SCHONDEBARE: Nothing, thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ellen?
COUNCILWOMAN LARSEN: Yes, one other thing. As most of you :know who have
been involved with reading the local papers, we've talked quite about among the
Town Board members about the brown algae. There was a Peconic .Bay Task Force
that was formed that's comprised both of technical task force and a citizens advisory
task force. The technical task force deals with all the scientific data. The citizens
task force deals with educational policies. As a result of the Peconic Bay Task
Force efforts, in particular one lady, Mrs. Marriner, who's been very active with
them, they have submitted a tentative agenda for a Peconic Bay Day, which will.,
be held on July 29th and July 30th. They will have many,many events for this
day. They hope to have shoreline tours, different bays events, such as sailing
and rowing, a presentation made by sports fishermen, by seafood businessmen,
by boaters, by people involved with finfish culturing, people directly involved
in tourism, the baymen themselves, the Trustees. They plan to bring the DEC
down and involve a whole overall day devoted to the condition of the Bay, the
organism itself and the dynamics of the Brown Tide, the habitat and the productive-
ness. They're only getting started right now. I don't know if I can legally solicit
contributions. Can you do that that? I can't do that. Okay. But they have
an educational committee that is devoted to just their promotion and- making everyone
aware that this is going to be available. So, I'm very proud of them. This will
be the first time it's ever been done locally and I'm sure that they'll get quite
a bit of involvement all the way around. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Sounds like a very good program, Ellen. Thank you.
George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, I'm delighted to see that we have a second application
before us for an affordable housing program in the Town of Southold. We have
a second site which has been submitted for ks7,rutiny. I'm heartened to see that_
developers have chosen; rather than to take the 1 /4 acre lot outline. which is in
our Affordable Housing Law, and' have upgraded the lot sizes to 1 /2 acres, which
will be available, hopefully, at some-time next year if everything goes through,
at a price somewhere between $26,000 and $27,000. This will give an opportunity
for qualified young people in our community to have a chance to stay here. They'll
be able to buy a lot and eventually build their own house, or the builders will
come in and work for Vnem. But this is a big step. It took us a long time to
put the law together and response has been slow up until now, but now" things
are starting to come to a head and I think there is a future for affordable housing
in Southold Town. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. At this .time I would like to ask anyone
