I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: The first item on the agenda are Reports. I'd like
to remind anyone who's interested they are on file in the Town Clerk's Office
for anyone to look at them.
1 . Times Mirror Cable Television report for the month of August, 1988.
2. Suffolk County Department of Labor Economic Indicator Report, -
August, 1988.
3. Recreation Department's Monthly report for August, 1988.
4. Town Clerk's month*Iy report for August, 1988.
5. Building Department s '.monthly report for August, 1988.
6. Scavenger Waste Treatment Facilitymonthly report for August, 1988.
7. Dog Shelter monthly report for August, 1988
8. Councilman's Reports. ' 'At this time I would like to ask the Councilman,
if they have anything special to report, starting 'on my right with Ruth Oliva.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Thank you, Frank. On August 24th, I attended a
Farmland Preservation Committee meeting. We went, over several appraisals
on different properties, and we'll i nform these people about the different things,
they talked about. Also, we'd like to get a hold of the Riverhead's Bill of Rights
to farm and see if we can update that. I've contacted Rob Pike, but he did
not call me back, so hopefully by the next meeting we'll be able to give that
to them. There was a Housing Committee on August 25th, which Jean will report
on. On August 29th, I attended the Greenport Utility Committee meeting. They
seemed to be getting going on several new well sites, and hopefully they will
be moving along, so we will get a little more water. On August 30.th, we had
an Open Space Committe meeting. We were not pleased with one of the appraisals,
and we are going back to ask the appraiser for a better explanation. We are
going for other appraisals for different properties,and inquiring perhaps about
the Fort Corchaug area Also, perhaps; some properties in Cutchogue. We will
be meeting again on October 6th. - On August 31 st, we had a Code Committee
meeting, and we sat down with the Tree Committee, who were most.anxious to
meet with us, as they had drawn up a Tree Ordinance. We went over it and
they unfortunately found that they did not have the jurisdiction that they thought
they had, because many of our roads are both State and County. We suggested
to them, that they do get in touch with these various agencies, and they could
sit down perhaps and go over some things as far as planting trees on both 48
and 25 were necessary, and see if they can do it. They will sit down with
the Planning Board as to, perhaps, the type of trees that could be planted on
site plans, and the attorneys will review the ordinance. The Tree Committee
will go over some other portions of it. Thier hearts are certainly in the right
place. They're trying to do a good job to beautify our town. On Friday, September
2nd, Jean, Frank and I visited a refuse derived fuel plant in Norfolk, Virginia,
which I'm sure Frank will talk about, which was a very interesting day, and
beautiful flight down. It was very good to see how other people are taking
care of their refuse; how they're doing it; the machines that are being used"-
and the more we learn, the quicker we'll be to make decisions in,our own lag— fill.
Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: That's Ruth.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Ruth, I'm sorry. I'm spending too much time with you
two.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: You know it.
COUCILWOMAN COCHRAN: We Ieave again tomorrow.
294
SEPTEMBER 6, 1988
COUNCILMAN PENNY: On the 24th, we had a meeting of the Commerce and
Industry Committee. We discussed the progress and the status 'of the proposed
Master Plan. We discussed the proposed peddling ordinance changes, and at
our next meeting, we're going to have some recomendations for some changes
in that area. We discussed bid procedure for projects under the bid limits,
and hopefully we're going to make some suggestions to the Town Board on
following and specified format on these smaller bids. We discussed Town fees,
and rules for waiving the Town fees. We discussed the Town Green. A matter
of particular interest was soda vending machines, that seem to be appearing
on the sidewalks. The Chambers of Cormerce would like this looked into by
the Town, and we're reviewing ways that we can control this so it doesn't make
our streets look like boardwalks. We, also, discussed the report of the Core
Watershed Protection Area Sub Committee. On the 31 st, I attended the Code
Committee meeting, which Ruth already reported on. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : On the 25th of September, the Housing Committee
did meet, to continue reviewing our affordable housing law. It seems like we've
been reviewing it for quite some time, but we keep getting bogged down in different
areas in relation to philosophy and what we see as affordable housing. The -
Housing Committee has invited the Greenport Utitlity Committee to meet, jointly, -
with us, in relation to affordable housing. The Committee feels that it's most
inportant to determine the availability of-water.water. in an area where an affordable
housing project is going to be. Also, there's ace importance to the requirements
that the project has to meet in relation to water. We, also, feel that it is important
that the availability in an area be discussed before the Town Board grants a
zone change in relation to the afffordable housing district. Also, I spent some
time up here the last two weeks, taking care of some personnel problems. .. In
addition, on Friday, as Ruth said, we journeyed down to Portsmouth, Virginia,
to view this RDF plant. It's interesting there. They have a marriage between
the Navy and themselves. They have the garbage end of it, and the government
has built a power plant. I don't think the marriage. is working out too well,
because they talked of the possibility of buying out the power plant, and it
would all be run as public enterprise. It was a state of the art facility. I
think they had top notch equipment. I think everytime we go on one of these
trips; and we leave for Florida tomorrow for a few days, that's why Frank made
the comment he's spending too much time with us, because we'll be joining him
again; I feel that it's part of the educational process, and the more I see of
these types of plants, the more I'm convinced. that Southold is going in the right
direction with composting. I think that's about it, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Ellen?
COUCILWOMAN LARSEN: Thanks, Frank. On Tuesday, the 23rd, I attended
Local Waterfront Revitilization Program. I spoke with Peter Walsch, Mo is the
liaison between the Town of Southold and the New York State Department of
State. The Local Waterfront Revitilization Program is based on forty-four state
policies that call for development and rehabilitation of our waterfront. The
committee has gotten as far as Orient Point in their review. The Town is
divided into nine sections under their program, and they're moving into the
bays. Hopefully within the next year our program will finalize( within the Town,
which will enable us to apply for additional state monies, and be reimbursed
for various projects that we want to do along the waterfront in the Town.
On the 24th, I attended the Farmland Preservation meeting, which is chaired
by Robert Villa. Bud Cybulski, Alex Hargrave and Ruth Oliva, and myself were
in attendence. I had introduced the concept of a right to farm bill to the committee
and based on Easthampton Town, Ruth had gone through her files, and drawn
out Riverhead. Both the Easthampton Right to Farm Bill, and the Riverhead
Right to Farm Bill had been forwarded to the Town Attorney. The Farm Preserva-
tion Committee feels that it's necessary. Supervisor Murphy backs it, and feels
that its necessary. So, hopefully, we'll be working on that, I'm sure, witt—,
continuous allocation of farmland. On the 25th, I attended the Housing Committee
meeting, which Councilwoman Cochran reported on. I, also, attended the Trustees
work session, to discuss various matters of Town Board and Trustee concern
with them. I met with Toni Booth, who is the Town Historian. We are going
over the areas of historic significance, along the coastline to aicorporate that
within the Local Waterfront Revitilization Program. Dual-gg the following week
I took a vacation. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ellen. Raymond?

SEPTEMBER 6, 1988
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Thank you, Frank. The day after our last meeting, I went
into Riverhead, and did six pieces of traffic in the Motor Vehicle Department.
tried to get home to the Island Wednesday evening. I had my boat over here.
had the boat all untied, and started out of the slip and I picked up an old
sunken line; wrapped it around the wheel. I had to spend the evening. Mr.
Douglas lifted me out of the water at seven o'clock Thursday morning, and for
a very slight nominal fee, we just took the little loop of line right off, and I
did get back to the island. A little late, but did get there. A week ago, yesterday,
on Monday, I did a wedding for a young couple on Fishers Island. I hope to
have some pictures of it. One of the most beautiful sights that I've ever seen,
was walking up to attend, and do a wedding like this. overlooking the ocean
and it was just a beautiful day. Then yesterday, there were over three hundred
cars vacated Fishers Island. When I checked the dock this morning, it looked
like the island had come out of the water about two feet. Tomorrow morning,
I have six more pieces of work for the Motor Vehicle. I did fly over today.
was late. The Sound is too rough to come by boat. I'll be flying back, probably
late tomorrow afternoon. That's it. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Raymond. A couple of other things I'd
like to add. As you can see everybody is really quite busy. Our Assistant
Town Attorney is a proud father of a young boy. His wife gave birth on Labor _•
Day, and they're all doing well, including Rob Berntsson. Fort Corchaug. We
heard from Greg Blass's office today, and they are going ahead with the resolu-
tion authorizing appraisal by the County. So we are progressing there. The
trip to Virginia, that both Ruth and Jean, and I- went on. These things are
very important. The most important part is to see a lot of them, before we
start entering into negotiation . We're in the final stages of our RFP. Probably,
the largest project that has ever been started in Southold Town. I think it's
very important that we know as 'much about' the whole system, machinery and
all that, so we can understand what these vendors and eventually, final contractor
is trying to sell us. Jim McMahon, myself and our counsultants from H2M did
attend a meeting with the DEC last week, on :funding. We have the booklets,
and we expect that being that we have such a unique proposal, that we're going
to be received very favorable by the DEC on this funding proposition, and should
come out of it doing very well.
COUNCILWOMAN. LARSEN: Frank, you might want to mention that they're recruiting
temporary workers for the 1990 census.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Yes, really, anyone looking for a job, part-time, older
people, excercise. There's a test that will be given through September 6th. Today.
I think it's just the application. Judy has the information.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 9-13 is to authorize the close-out of the Southold
Wastewater Capital Fund and directs that the fund balance and all residual monies
be transferred to the Southold Wastewater District. I might just comment at
this time, that now that we're able to close out the final change order on it,
it's apparent that whole sewage plant down there, was built with government
money; with federal and state money; and that our local share we were able to
make up through investments of the funds, so that the actual cost to the tax
payers over and above what we pay in state and federal income tax was nothing.
Which was very good, and we should have a fairly. nice, surplus to put into their
operating budget.' ' I offer this resolution.

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Number 17. . . .
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Can we hold that?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll hold -it. I guess they're looking for. . . .
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I would ask that it be held.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Sure. What we're doing is just holding up the amount
of payment we're going to pay the Peconic Land Trust, when that beautiful park-
in Southold is turned over to us at the end of the year. This money will be
coming out of the Prk and Playground fund, that is established by developers,
and right now, we have about $160,000.00 in it, and tonight we're putting almost
another $100,000.00 in it. So this is how this money is being used, and whatever
the final figure is, there's a small discrepancy. Whatever the final figue is,
it's going to be around $30,000.00 that we're going to be transferring to pay
for this park. It's a tremendous asset that we're acquiring, at a very small
cost to the taxpayers. It's through the most generous cooperation of many,
many people. .Southold. .that this came about.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Frank, if I may, maybe the Board will decide to.
pass this tonight. I'd hate to hold it up for two weeks. The Green did have
a meeting tonight at five o'clock, and in reviewing all their financial situation,
because things that still have to be done to the park, are the sprinklers between
the sidewalk and the green, some landscaping against the building, the plaque,
and those wastebaskets, so there's not those big metal cans over .there. And
in reviewing all of their finance, they had asked for close to twenty-eight, but
they feel that thirty thousand wil do it. So, if the Board is agreeable to go
the $30,000.00, why don't we pass that tonight. They feel that $30,000.00 would
do it, so if the Board would be agreeable, the the twenty-eight to go to, extra
two. I'd like to see it passed tonight.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We'll just change the amount to $30,000.00
17.-Moved by Councilwoman Cochran, seconded by Supervisor Murphy, it was

Day, rather than Labor Day.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: It certainly did go by fast. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Yes, I wanted to share with Ellen, I was driving
in the car last week, and on the radio they were discussing a book that this
women had written in relation to VDT, and she compares them also to sweat

philosophy as you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Very good. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I just wanted to comment on Resolution No. 15, which
voted against. I feel that with all the discussions we've had about the Town
acquisition of property coming out of the cluster subdivisions, which were
originally dedicated for the sole and exclusive use of th. subdivision. P m
voting against this change that the Town can take over this property, because
I feel that there are other ways in which the Town can gain the use of this
property, such as easements and exactly the same effect as ownership of the
property without, number one, removing them from the tax rolls, and number
two, increasing the Town's liability exposure and also, possible maintenance for
the future. So that was my reason for voting against Resolution 15. Thank you.
SEPTEMBER 6 1988 305
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: There's one thing that the Farmland Preservation
Committee wanted me to share with the rest of the community. The newest
appraisals that have come in, for farmland preservation, are $3,000.00 higher
than they were three years ago. So that means, because we bought at a good
time we saved the Town, about $1,200,000.00. So that's really great because
we have over 400 acres in our own Farmland Preservation Program.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Very good news. Thank you. Anyone in the audience,
who would like to address the Town Board? Jean? Please identify yourself.
JEAN TIEDKE: Jean Tiedke, and I live on Hobart Road. All summer long we
have had increasing fast and noisy traffic. My husband knows a lot more about
speeding and stuff than I do, says that some of them are going 50 to 55 miles
an hour, up and down our road. It's marked for 35. We recommend that the
top speed be 25, and then maybe, people will stay at 35. I'm sure that's probably
true of other roads leading to popular beaches, such as Founders Landing. It's
really been very hectic.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I feel for you. I would suggest that you get some neigh-
bors: write a letter. We can't set speed limits. The State has to do it, and
they will come and do a survey, but we cekainly will listen, and ask the Police
Department to go down with radar • and give us some figures.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: It's too late now.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'm sure if they were doing it during the summer; they
would still be doing it.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I don't think it's neccesarily just the beach, Jean,
because we're on the other half of Hobart, and the traffic has been more than
I've ever seen it before, into the later hours of the night and faster speeds.
They come over that railroad track and you can hear that car leave, and all
four wheels bang at the same time.
JEAN TIEDKE: I can hear it.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I think you're finding it through the nucleus of
the hamlet, that there is more speeding, not just on our roads, but where there's
posting and usually if someones doing 40 they'll allow 45, and so if you get
it down to 25, 'I'm with you one hundred percent. You can give them a ticket
at 35.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We have, also, good news for you down on Hobart.
Right in the neighborhood we do have the plans for a major drainage correction
problem down there, on the road run-off. Hopefully, we'll be starting this fall.
We've just got them. We're looking now to get the okays of the property owners.
Get their permission.
JEAN TIEDKE: What part are you talking about?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Basically Lew Edson's property. That pond. We're
going to put some drainage structures there to catch some water, and to filter
it into that pond, and then, to filter it into phragmites bed.
JEAN TIEDKE: Are they going to replant that with new seed, that they were
going to do last year, and couldn't.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We can't take over. We'd originally anticipated making
larger phragmites bed on to the wetlands, but the DEC will not allow it, do``-
what we're going to do is do a better filtration program in where that pond
is right now.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: In the north of it.
JEAN TIEDKE: Last year you were talking about, befor'ir'our Highway Superintendent
got so sick, about planting a differant kind of water reed up there.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No, it would be the same kind. What we were going
to do was cover them over with gravel, an4d plant- into the gravel. The DEC
didn't want that. Basically we'ri_5,__-accomplishing the same thing. It's the same
grass.

JEAN TEIDKE: That top end has filled in more than a foot, since we've been
there.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Just passing that on, this is some progress on run-off.
Anyone else like to address the Town Board? George?
GEORGE WETMORE: George Wetmore, vice-president of the Greenport-Southold
Chamber. I guess I'd better just say, points to ponder. The 150th Anniversary
of Greenport is going to be celebrated on, I believe, the weekend of October
1st and 2nd. I think it would be appropriatefor the Town to somehow have
a resolution, joining in the celebration. I would suggest, possibly, if you could
think about that for your next meeting. Three recomendations. I don't know,
we haven't sat down with our Board of Directors yet, but in our own minds
there are such things as junk trees, and there are such things as trees worth
saving like the buttonwood, beeches, birches and trees like that that will be
around for a hundred years, where your choke cherries and locusts are what
they consider junk trees. So if you 1 hope you will refer it to someone that's
a little more professional in line to guide you as to which trees that you might
consider worthy of protecting, and of possibly a foot in diameter, five feet off
the ground, so you know they're there for a while. The other thing is that
we should probably your zoning areas for the "B" zone and see just how
many acres of trees you're talking about. You're only talking about three or
four acres. It's hard to distinguish right now with all the open land trees
were cut down years ago to pay the tax to the "British.
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: George, with our Tree Ordinance the only way the
Town could control anything like that is if the trees are on Town property,
and we have people that are experts in their field, as far as landscaping and
tree surgery and so forth and so on. And they have addressed this, the type
of tree that should be planted. They have reviewed the ones that should be
saved, or what have you. So we do have experts, that are really addressing
the problem.
GEORGE WETMORE: I have had some experience in this, since .my brother-in-law
has had a tree company for about 25 years, but there may be a little error.
But I was speaking more like the Ordinance that came up a while back, out
of the blue on. . .
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: Land clearing, you're talking about, that's two different
things.
GEORGE WETMORE: I think you have to have a balance there. You can't
go totally off the wall with it. You can save, like I said, your most vulnerable
trees, but I think George has something in the works where has to
go in and chop trees to make a survey. You're going to get a little of that
no matter what you do. The other thing again, it would pay to assess, how
many acres are involved with this? The only areas I know of, really, are Mattituck
basically. And zoning changes with the new Master Plan it all comes
think a lot of it. The one thing that is coming up and I understana cne State
and the Governor a program housing in a 1200 square foot range
for $60,000 if we get an award, and I'll probably be talking to the Democratic
people more than the Republicans, since the Democrats control Albany. The
Democrats control the County, and I'm for affordable housing. .period. I don't
give a darn which seat it comes from, but I think everybodys here to see that
we do keep of our youth in the community to add to its base. I really feel
to that, if there was a way to declare this Town a critical employment area,
in fact, we don't have enough. And if that would assist in somehow, people
in Albany, when they come out with the awards, the application is made, I believe.
In several weeks, there will be a big announcement by the Governor, I'm told
there was a Law passed. . .check with Sawicki, he'll fill you in on it. . .it amounts
to about fifty million statewide, so it isn't a heck of lot to go around, and .,---
maybe we can grab some of it $175,000.00 a house. We are working
on something now to try and get some of that money, but we'll need your support,
Frank, and the County Executives support, all the way up to the Governor's
office. I' m very serious about that. I'd appreciate your help, we'll talk 'to
you about it in the future. Thank you.
