met with the Board to discuss payment of their vouchers for services rendered

would accept 80% of their billings. Ms. Brogan stated Suffolk Lighting would, but
Mr. Morizio said he would not. Town Attorney Tasker advised the Board that
acceptance of 800 is contingent upon all contractors agreeing to same--it is all or
nothing. Mr. Morizio stated he will consult further with his attorney and probably
bring a law suit against the Town.

East End Counseling Project, and Southold Town Youth Counselor Mary Ann
Fleischman met with the Board to discuss East End's .request for a $10,000 allocation
to increase their services. Mr.. Tusa stated that the need in'Southold Town is '
greater than the services they can provide - they are severely understaffed.
They have applied to the United Way, ' and their chances of receiving that funding
Will be enhanced by receiving support from the Southold Town. He advised that
the Town of East Hampton gives them a $35,000. grant each year, in addition to
payment for rent and utilities for an office. They also receive support from the
JUNE 3, 1986

presently they have 1. 6 drug counselors and 1.6 mental health workers, and in
1985 they handled 122 youth, 900 of which related to substance and alcohol abuse.
With a $10,000 grant from Southold Town they could provide a minimum of 25 hours
'-
a week of counseling services, and hire a half time counselor and social worker,
and could open their Greenport office more than three days a week. The money
would go directly to services. Councilman Stoutenburgh asked if they had approached
the school districts, and Ms. Kazenoff said that under the State Law schools are
required to provide services from .within.' which they are doing, and are reluctant
to advance further funds, however, they will' pursue that avenue, as well as the
Village of Greenport. The Board agreed to grant East End Counseling Project
$10,000, and place another $10,00.0• allocation in the 1987: budget. (See resolution

would have it verified, and then went to McGraw-Hill for the verification at a cost of
$125.00. Although most Board members felt this should be included in'Mr. Strang's
contract price, it was agreed the bill should be paid'. and it 'was added to the audit.

I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Next is Item I. on your agenda, Reports. I'd like to
remind everybody these reports are all on file in the Town Clerk's Office. Some
of them do make very interesting reading, if anyone is 'interested, in 'particular.*
showing the activity in the Town Clerk's Office and also in the Building Department
Office.
1. . Town Justice Edwards monthly report - April 1986.
2. Cooperative Extension - Progress Report on Field Test of an Innovative__
Bay Scallop Nursery Structure project.
3. Recreation Department Director Fossett Monthly report - April 1986.
4. Town Clerk Terry - monthly report - May 1986.
5. I'd like to now ask the Councilmen if. they have anything special to report,
starting on my left with Judge Edwards. Ray? ;
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Well, the important thing is 'the barge is up and gone. It
went down the Sound Thursday evening, I believe, and I spent an awful lot of time
last-..week with the DEC, the NOAA people and the Coast Guard in walking the beaches
on the Island to be certain that there was no heavy oil spills, and there was one
beach, one of our most popular beaches, Isabella, that had a few spotches come
ashore, and there were two Coast Guard boys down there that picked it up and
think. they carried about all of the oil and seaweed combined off the beach in
one garbage pail. So the people that did the job, they did a hell of a job and
they've got to be commended on what they did'and .the short amount of time they
did it and they were also under budget. Secondly, at our Work Session today
mentioned to the Town Board that the,people.on Fishers Island want to continue
with their study over there to go to municipal power. The people on the Island
are going to find it much easier to go to municipal power than here in Southold
because the Fishers Island Electric.'Corporation over there is willing to sell the
plant--their outside plant--to a municipal entity on the Island, so we're going to
pursue that. Another thing on electric, I see Mr. Carlin in the audience here
and maybe he can use his pull with LILCO to get the wires tied in down there
at the tourist booth in Laurel, because I've gone by there three or four weeks
and it's a beautiful building, but the old wire is just hanging on the outside.
Now I know he's done. it 'for us before and maybe again'.
MR. CARLIN: Power's been in there about four days now.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: It is in?
MR. CARLIN: Yes, up as far as the building.
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Oh, okay.
MR. CARLIN: Now it's up to the electrician..
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Very good, very good. Okay, that's it. Thanks, Frank.
4 V O JUNE 3, 1986 --- -
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank. you, Ray. Councilwoman Cochran is away on a
trip to the West Coast, so Paul?
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Okay. On June 2nd I attended, or sat in on a
Water Advisory Committee meeting, and their.'big project is an information folder
which they're working on, and ERM was supposedly, and did bring a draft copy
of it and we went through it, added some additions, and deleted some of it, and
they are going to come back with a larger and bigger one, we hope. The basic
idea is to educate the publicabout the problems of water in this Town. You
people who were here show you have interest, but there's an awful lot of people
out .there who don't have that interest and we're hoping to stimulate that through
this booklet that they're going to put out. They also are interested in'getting a
public meeting together to' discuss the problem of the invitation of the Water
Authority into the Town, and that's .up for discussion also. I also sat in on the
interviews of our new Lifeguards and Beach Attendants, and I must say it's kind
of brought me back to my teaching days to be with those young people again; and
we do have a full compliment of Lifeguards which we'll be voting on to bring into
our system, so we should have plenty of people on our beaches and hopefully some
extras in case someone doesn't show up we'll have some extras this year, and
hopefully we won't have to close any of our beaches. The last one, we had a
Landfill meeting, and Jay being Chairman of,' I'll leave that up to him.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, thank you, Frank. As Paul mentioned, we
had a Landfill' meeting yesterday, and the Superintendent of Highways brought to
our attention the fact that a lot of the oil tanks that are in the ground, commercials,
will have to come out by 1990, and we don't want them down at the Landfill: We'd
have to cut them up and it's very difficult to do so, and expensive. So we've
decided that we'll ,see if we can get an ordinance pass that prohibits the dumping
of oil tanks down at the Landfill: Likewise junk cars. We don't want them at the
Landfill either, and they'll .be the responsibility of the-owner. So we'll probably
have an amendment to our Code to implement those two areas. We also were
discussing the purchase of a caterpillar, which As a sort of caterpillar-composter.
for the Landfill. The price tag is 'in' the area of $180,000. It's getting very expensive
down at that Landfill=-otherwise known as the Dump. You're talking about a machine
that looks something out the Star Wars movies. It's quite different. So that kept
us pretty busy down there. . We're also talking about what we can do with regards
to permits. Some people complain they can't buy the permits down at the Landfill,
so we discussed that around and 1 think we decided to keep it right here in the
Town Hall a'nd for various, reason we will not be selling permits down at the Landfill.
We got on to the beaches. I guess we sort of had like a short Beaches and Parks
meeting, and we'll .be renting handicapped bathrooms for our two Town Beaches this
year for a cost of about $1,600 for two months. I know the roofs are going on some
of the comfort stations on our Town Beaches. We should be in good shape for the
summer. That's it, Frank. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. Hope we have a good summer. George?
COUNCILMAN PENNY: Yes, thank you. On the 27th we met with the Planning Board
to get a preliminary peek at the Master Plan which will be formally presented to us
on June 9th. I know that's the date that a lot of people would like to earmark,
because we're all: kind of waiting for this 'for a while. It's been worked on by the
Planning Board and we finally got their results. On the 30th, as a follow-up of an
information meeting that I had here with the Captain Kidd Association representation
group, I meet with the Suffolk County Water Authority and the ad hoc committee of
the Captain Kidd Water District, and the Inlet Drive Association to discuss the
acquisition of the water network by the Suffolk County Water Authority, and I
have a listing of things that are not necessarily priorities, but it's just points
that are going to be taken one at a time. Number one would be the acquisition
of the system, which is still up for sale for $60,000., plus or minus. It seems
that the owner of the system wants to bail out and head for Florida,' so he hasn't
raised the price. The intent is 'to upgrade where necessary, not revamp the
entire system., and I know that may be a matter of concern, because it was reportea
in the local papers. The next move would be to acquire an acre and a quarter of
well site, which is now held by Suffolk County. It's in their hands now for tax
arrears, and it would be a very simple thing to turn the title on that. They would
like to put in a new well as .soon as possible, but due to the public hearing processes,
etcetera, it could take a couple of years. There is no back-up generator there and
these people, .as well as everybody else that lost their power in 'the last hurricane,
they lost their power for five days there due to the fact that there is no back-up-
generator. That was. never attended to before. They were reassured that the rate
that they will be charged there will be no different than the rate that is charged to
the already existing 260,000 customers in Suffolk County. That was another concern
of this group was that they were going to be charged a very special high water rate
and they were reassured that there's a 90% chance that that will not happen. It will
cost $400 to hook up if 'you live in the Captain Kidd area. They'll bring the pipes
JUNE 3, 1986 A Q 1
right to your front door at a simple charge of only $400. Customers--and there}are
a lot of them up there--that have moved'=off the system over the years, will be
allowed to rehook-up because the pipes are already in, at an administrative charge
of about $30. On 6/5/86, which is Thursday, at 10:00 o'clock there will ' be a well
site inspection byt he Suffolk County Water Authority and water samples will be taken.
We're being visited by Richard Heindricks, who's-the Superintendent of Production
and Control, and William J. Shipper, who is the Chief Engineer. On the 2nd we
attended--or I attended a Landfill Committee, which has already been reported on.
On the 2nd also I attended a Water Advisory Committee meeting, which has already
been reported on. 1. have some good news on the civic center. We have two people--
two contractors have picked up bids. The bids are due on the 12th. We went for
bids the first round and nobody picked them up, so we made some phone call contacts
and we've gotten two contractors, so we!ll .kn.ow by June 12th whether or not the
bids will' be completed. The Dog Pound plans are in the works. We saw another
final stage and we just lack some engineering, and I would say probably within the
next month we'll .be ready to go to. bid on the Dog Pound. On June 12th, I'm very
happy to say I've been invited to make my first presentation to a senior citizens
group in Southold. I've been invited to be the guest speaker and I'll .be very happy
to do this. They're very concerned about a number of issues facing the Town and
I've been asked to come and give my side of it. So I appreciate the opportunity to
reach out to the public. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, George. I'd like to publicly thank Ray.
received very good reports from the DEC, from the Coast Guard, on his cooperation
on Fishers Is and. Thank heavens the turning of the barge went very successfully,
and Ray was there as our representative and did a fantastic job to make sure the*
Town was informed exactly what was going on and to work with these people and
thank heavens nothing serious happened except a few gallons of fuel. did spill that
was probably just in the. boiler rooms or in the engine rooms. Our consultant Gary
Loesch from H2M and I attended a very important conference on waste management
at Stony Brook last week and it was the 13 towns on Long Island that participated,
plus some various members of the trades from the firms that do build successful
incinerators. From the conference it was very obvious that the towns on the East .
End, also including Fis.hers Island, Shelter Island, definitely could not ever afford
an. incinerator. The cost of operation, the cost of testing, : just the mechanics has
never been really found feasible for small operations, and .this 'conference definitely
proved the point. . There was. some very technical people, various doctors in research _
who al disagreed on what causes one simple contaminant, which is probably the' most
serious one, dioxins, in the air. One said'you're burning too low, one said you're
burning too high, one said you're. mixing this ' and all of these people who are very
intelligent people, a lot of expertise behind them and nobody could agree. So it's
really very .obvious that the small towns of New York- State, in particular out here
where we are, definitely cannot afford small modular incinerator. We're much too
small. And the other item I'd .like to report on, I as a member of the Long Island
State Park Comm isssion--the Long Island State Park Commission sponsored the Special
Olympics for the Handicapped this past weekend down at Mitchell Field, and the
commissioners were asked to go down and make the awards, and I was ''down there
and it was probably the most rewarding thing that I've ever done in my life--to
participate with these children and many, many hundreds of them from all over the
state, with disabilities that we probably would never imagine could exist, and just
to see the determination. There was one little boy that I don't think'he weighed
40 pounds, but ran a 50 yard race and finished and got a medal for it, and it was
so rewarding to see these children with the determination--children of all ages, all
types of handicaps, blind, deaf, mental retardation, whatever you would want to
think were there competing and just the competition alone--the people who were
helping down there were fantastic. The Governor was there on the opening day,
and it really was the most rewarding thing that I've ever had to pin a gold medal,
or a silver or a bronze medal on some little kid who won a race where this kid
never. really had any recognition. Some of the kids actually shook when you were
giving them the medal. It really was fantastic.
If. PUBLIC NOTICES.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving on on the agenda to Item No. II is Public Notices.
1. Complete application, New York State Department of Transportation, for the
construction of roadway drainage on Route 25 in Jamesport. Written comments to the
DEC by June 6, 1986.
2. Corps_ of Engineers, application of Long Island Lighting Company to install
a submarine cable crossing from Southold to Shelter Island to Sag Harbor. Written
comments by June 20, 1986.
3. DEC Notice to Shellfish Harvesters on uncertified areas surrounding the
Greenport Outfall Pipe on the Sound here.
4. Corps of Engineers, application of Long Island Lighting Company to maintenanc
dredge with beach disposal and repair of existing jetties, groins and embankment
structures at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station. Written comments by June 20,
1986.
5. Southold Town Board proposed amendments to Community Development Year
11 Program .Budget.
482 JUNE 3, 1986 — -
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: May I say something?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Sure.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Number 3, which is the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation's notice about shellfishing. I don't know if you all
realize, but right off our beach here in' Greenport--this is the outfall of the sewage
system, and there's a half a mile radius in which no shellfishing is permitted, and
no one ever really gave that any thought, but do you realize that there was a huge-
surf clam industry just started up and people have been exploring all along to find
out where shellfish could be, and wouldn't it be ironic if there was a shellfish bed
right out here and we would say, no shellfishing. So you see what we think is
never going to happen, someday does happen, and these things do come along,
and it's interesting to see that we have one of the areas that could be a shellfish
area we never really ever thought it would be right off our area.
III. COMMUNICATIONS-
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, moving on to .Item Number III, Communications.
,. ..1. From the President, Bruce McIver, of the Long Island Rail Road, and
felt it was important just to mention the safety of children playing. We don't
really have the problem, we don't have that many trains and we don't have any
electrification out here, and basically our train.:service is; hopefully, when most
of the kids are in bed, but to make people aware of the dangers of playing around
on the tracks.
2. From North Fork Midget Football, Terry C. Nagy, thanking the Town for
their 'cooperation in setting up, with the Village of Greenport, setting up a football
field in Greenport for the little kids to play on this fall.
3. A report from the DEC, a- Tom Quinn, who is working very closely with
Ray .on the raising of the barge on Fishers Island.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We don't have any public hearings scheduled tonight.
V. RESOLUTIONS.

to go to the United .Way and hopefully get a matching grant to improve the
services that are offered in counseling for troubled youth, whatever, in Southold
Town and it's one that we hope that we will continue to fund in next year's budqet

the Fishers Island Garbage District has requested some serious thought by the

SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, thank you. At this time I would like to ask anyonE
in the audience if they would like to address the Town Board on any item at all?
Jeanne?
JEANNE MARRINER: Members of the Town Board, I'm Jeanne Marriner, speaking
for the League,of Women Voters of Riverhead and Southold. I'd like to preface
the League's remarks with a policy statement: The League of Women Voters does
not support or oppose any political party. The Riverhead/Southold League fakes
action on all local issued that are of importance to the general public. Our position
regarding the May 6th resolution, which turned over control of Southold's water
management to an outside authority, is based on the same principles and League
postions on which we based our opposition to the airport, and that is the May 6th
resolution does not benefit 'the majority of Southold Town residents. It is another
"special' interest" decision. A League member received a phone call this past week
from a Town Board member accusing her of partisanship, and we just want to set
the record straight. Furthermore, we'd like you to know we determine all our
positions after study and research of the pros and cons of each issue, and with
regard to the water issue, the Riverhead/Southold League has been involved in
an in-depth study of Long Island groundwater supply and- management for many
years. We have presented informational meetings for our members and the general
public on the subject, and we are the first to acknowledge that it is 'a very complex
subject. We understand why some Town Board members recently -felt the need to
turn over the management of Southold's water supply to an outside agency. They
simply did not understand the many ramificastions ,and fine nuances of their acfions
The major point missed is that the Suffolk County Water Authority does not have
all the answers either. As their, attorney, Mr. Roy Van Nostrand,indicates in this
transcript of a meeting last June with the Souithoild Town Board. Because all the
answers require more in-depth investigation, the League repeats its request to the
Board that the Board reconsider the groundwater issue and consider the issue and
all future issues first and foremost, in terms* of what' is best for the general welfare
of all the people of Southold Town, and the only way to safeguard Southold Town,
as we all know, is by local control of our resources. And so, here are more petitions
asking for recision of the May. 6th resolution which gaves away .local control of our
water supply. We now have over 1,000 signatures and there are many more people
who have not as yet been reached, who I" believe want to sign.,the petition. The
League asks the Board to consider the wishes and needs of the people-to whom they
are responsible, all the voters and taxpayers of Southold Town. (Mrs'. Marriner
presented a petition containing 606 signatures, which reads as follows: "Taxpayers'
request to rescind the resolution of May 6, 1986, regarding the Suffolk County
Water Authority. To the Town Board of the Town of Southold: Concerned about the
loss of local control over our Southold Town water supply, we, the undersigned
taxpayers of the Town, urge that you rescind 'the Resolution #2 adopted on May 6,
1986, which would give the Suffolk County Water Authority control over all new water
systmes to be constructed in the Town of Southold. Because our groundwater systems
are our most precious natural resource, and the most vulnerable to abuse or misuse,
we believe that a more thorough investigation of various water systems management
techniques is vital, before a final decision is made by the Town Board on a matter
which could ultimately affect the health and welfare of..all Southold Town residents."
SUPERVISOR MURPHY; Is there anyone else would like to address the Town Board
Frank? Mr. Carlin.
FRANK .CARLIN, Laurel: For once in'my life I find it very difficult to try to phase
into what I want to say tonight, because I don't read from anything. The reason
why is I don't want to offend anybody if I can do it. I'd like to say--first thing 1'd
like to address the media. The media does not have to be afraid to print or write
whatever I say at Town Board meetings, because it's always the truth. I some-
times feel that they have a tendency to .shy away. Maybe in the future they won't.
What I want to say tonight. is, I give a case a name when I come here. Whatever it
is I always name it.' Bridge. Veterans Exempt Bill, whatever. This one 1 gave a
name too, and that is the Barnum & Bailey Furniture Circus. You know, it's bad
enough--before I start--what l'm: saying tonight, I'm not here to defend Frank
Murphy. I'm here to speak as a taxpayer. My own opinions, my own thoughts. If
Frank Murphy is wrong I will 'tell him so. In fact I proved that almost three years
ago when he was Councilman. In fact some of you people -on. the Board can remember
JUNE 3, 1986 - - 497
that night when we were involved with the` bridge, and I read him off from A to Z
one night, and when I got done he took -his glasses-.off and,he said one sentence to
me. He said' !'You're right, Frank." And I respect the man for that.... . He.had no- _
excuses, he knew I was right. So I'm .here to speak on my own behalf. You know,
it's bad enough to have this put in the local paper, but when it goes into the
Newsday state-wide, where everybody in the state can read it. I work in a company
that employs people from all over the Island and they come to me and they say,
"Frank, what's going on out in Southold?" "What kind of government do you have
out there?" "To see a' secretary working off a table like that, my God, what's--going
on, Frank?" I said, "Your guess is as good as mine." And another thing is, you.
know a golden record becomes solid gold if you keep playing it and playing it and
playing it, until you don't want to hear it no more. It's phased out and another
one comes along. Well, that's what this is starting to become. It's becoming .a
record. People are getting tired of hearing it.' I know, I've spoken to people
who are. Who suffers with this? It's the poor contractors who don't get paid.
Would anyone like to work for nothing? Police Like to work.for nothing? The
Town Highway like to work for nothing? They've got families to feed. They've .
got bills to pay. Would they like to work for nothing? Of course not. Now they're
going to bring a legal case, maybe. Going to cost more money. Now you're probably
saying, "What would you do big shot?" "How would you handle this?" Well, I'll tell
you how I would handle this: When you go to Supervisor's school you learn something.
You sit down and you talk. Now we all make mistakes. I'm not saying Frank Murphy
made a mistake or he didn't. Like 1 said" ! I'm not here to defend him. We all make
mistakes. Everyone on the Board made a mistake somewhere in your life. I made
plenty of them, or else I'd be driving up tonight w:ith�a limousine. But sit down.
Something like this, something wrong. I'll give you an example: say George Penny--
loading up his truck in the morning with lumber and there's certain precautions you
take to secure the lumber, material. Riding down the road and it comes apart. Well,
what. do you do? You run out and fire the guy right away? It's an accident. You
reason. You. talk. Hey, look, don't let it happen again. If it happens the next:
time it's tough. You reason things out. You talk. .This furniture is not for this
man's back. It's for the Town Hall. What's wrong with that? There's so many
other things to be done. Algae is in our inlets. The water's turning brown. The
Landfill to be worked on. Sewage disposal to be worked on. I said two years ago
this Town is 20 years behind, in the Stone Age. Looking at a secretary work off
a desk like that with a box underneath, it sure is. - :It's a disgrace to the outside
- of this Town, to the people. The officials of other towns must be laughing at this
Town. I don't understand it. Work as an airline. Picture yourself as an airline
t and call yourselves United and fly together and there's nothing that can't be
resolved. This is getting to be, you know, every week the same thing over and
over and over again. It will run about $16,000. We started with $7,000, now
$16,000, go to legal fees and now it's going to go into court in order that these
people can get paid and it's going to be running into more money. Well, Mr.
Murphy, I got two questions. 1 got nothing against the civic building in Laurel.
Nothing against it. I want the record straight for that. Nothing against the
building. However, it `should have been located a little bit further west from
where it is now. It's right in the center of the park. Ray Dean has built me
two nice benches, picnic benches I asked for. He's got them ready and he's
going to put them up. First I waited for two years and, I mean, Ray Jacobs,
excuse me, got them built for me. But I'd like you to find out for me--as a
taxpayer--now we're talking about $16,000 here now, I want you to find out for
me, as a taxpayer, how much money was put into that so far by the Town Highway
Department? Because I know. I live there. As far as labor and manpower goes,
okay? , We're taking about spending money. I'd like to know, because I can give
you dates where there was as high as five men working there all day long with
equipment from the Town Highway. Just today there were two men working full-
time there all day. Men from the street lights and another man. Two trucks all
day. I'd like to know. Another request I'd like from you, Mr. Supervisor.
Contract signs, Penny Lumber, Suffolk Lighting, Home Improvements. The work
is all done now. . The contractors are no more there. The signs were taken down
two days .ago and now they're put back again. I'd like to have you remove them.
can't see advertising business on Town property. No need for them there no
more. Okay? I'd .like that request.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: I'll have it for you.
MR. CARLIN: I'm sorry to have to -speak this way, but like I said, I didn:!.ti:know
how to phase in to it without offending somebody;- but it's a disgrace that: this
thing has happened where--over furniture. What good is being a Supervisor in,
the Town. What do we need a Supervisor for if 'he• doesn't have any authority?
That he can't do anything. Can't even decorate his own office. We don't need
a Supervisor then if he don't have any authority. Have to coat-tail it. Let's
continue on what, we were elected to do in November, is run the government and
stop this nonsense. Thank you very much. `
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: `Thank you, Frank. Is there anyone else would like to
address the Town Board? Yes, ma'am.

VI LMA MARSTEN: I would like to make a statement as a citizen, taxpayer and
a voter in Peconic. I would like the Board to reconsider the water question.
I'm an independent voter. I vote. neither Republican nor Democrat. I vote the
way my conscience dictates. In addition, I have a great deal of background in
conservation, preservation and the question of water" I am very knowledgable.
think that the whole issue should be reopened. We should go into every point
that is made in the reports of the League of Women Voters--and I'm not a member
of the organization. I sincerely ask, beg, and I hope I can be persuasive. Please,
please reconsider your decision of the May 6th meeting.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you. Is there anyone-else would like to address
th)e Town Board? Frank?
