Thank you. Jay? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Yes, I attended the Beaches 8 Parks meeting_, whic;. I'll let the chairman discuss that. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Go ahead, Jay, why don't you. COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: No, go right ahead, Paul. You keep better notes than 1 do. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Well, I'm going to skip it. COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: You're going to skip it? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes. You do it. COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: How's the beaches? They okay? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Everything's going well, right, Paul? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Yes. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI : Paul?. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: No, nothing, but our beaches are doing better, think. We've got a terrific gal who's keeping her thum�o`n things and I think everybody who's been to the beaches can see, I think, some improvement. Even in the upkeep of our beaches. I was also to a Recreation meeting, which I think I'll let Jean review. You'll take care of that. I was at a Water Advisory meeting, and the big point there was a report which each of you people got--you should have gotten from Joe Baier telling about his units that we have out in the area. What we're trying to do is to .incorporate these filter units throughout the Town and he gave a report and I think--did we turn that in, Frank? Do they have a-- guess they should be getting it. But it shows exactly how each one of these units perform and they gave some recommendations also, and out of it one of the things I remember they said was that they didn't want these counter-top small units. You should have the full taps--all the taps in the house, or one underneath the sink or down below. None of these little small things seem to be working out July 15 , 1986 49 well. They also are working on a new flyer which should tell a little bit about the types and the needs of these filters: w It's"" something we think has to be explored and sort of gotten out to the public. The public really isn't aware of what we're doing and so by the next meeting we should have a basis for that flyer going out. I was also at a meeting that was rather unique in the sense that we thought we'd lost a. program--a drainage program on Skunk Lane because of a transfer of a home there and the new owner who's come in is going to be very cooperative and it's up to our at to get the papers done and we'll finally have that* project on the way and it's a, very important one that half of Nassau Point comes to my door and tells me about every tin, ek it rains. So I'm kind of glad we got that together. Basically that's about it. Jean? COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Well, it has been a light two weeks due to the long 4th of July weekend. We did have a Recreation Committee meeting_ on July 7th, along with our_.Recreation Director Sue Fossett, Mary Ann Fleischmann, who serves as counselor on our Juvenile. Aid Bureau Grant, were in and we spent some time discussing possible programs that she would like to see put' into place,in addition the feasibility of a drop-in center. She will be doing some work in developing the drop-in center and would be giving seven hours of her time. She is a student, so she's ,a busy young woman, but she would be giving seven hours of her time in September toward making this project a reality. Also discussed was the need for transportation in order to offer some of these programs, because as you know because of our geographic spread it's very .difficult to have a central location for young people to come without providing some sort of transportation, so that was also one of the discussions. , No definite conclusions were reached. Then we spent the balance of the time just more or less, I would say, discussing philosophy in our feelings and our philosophies in relation to young people, their needs and how they are best served, and all in all it was a very good meeting. Thank you, Frank. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Thanks, Jean. Ray? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Yes, last weekend I know how thrilled Jean was to make this presentation to Mr. Yoerger. I had the opportunity to make a similiar presentation to Lieutenant Commander Rutkovsky, the man that was in charge.,of removing the barge from Long Island Sound, and on the 4th of July on the Island we had a parade that started at the ferry dock. It was lead by a fife and_ drum corps band from Esseks, Connecticut, followed by myself and the Commander in a convertible. Behind us was about 50 young children that had their bicycles all dressed up for a contest. The Girl Scouts, and also in the parade was our American Legion on the Island, and - we had 11 flag bearers, each carrying a different flag. From the.American. Flag all the way down through all the service flags, POW flag, New York State, and -it was quite an affair. It was music and concerts on the green at Fishers Island all day. It was a beautiful day. The Island itself is very busy. The Game Wardens have come over from Long Island and they've made a few trips around the Island and gotten some of the poachers from Connecticut out there. The fines have been quite heavy this summer and all in all we're getting a lot of support from the Department of Environmental Conservation. That's it, Frank. Thank you. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Thank you. The Supervisor will not have a report tonight, since he's not here. 11 . PUBLIC NOTICES.

Copy of a Town of East Hampton resolution granting the Town of Southold permission to utilize bottomlands in Lake Montauk to establish the bay scallop nursery research project. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Would one of the Boar members like to make a comment about any of the communications? (No response.) Paul, would you like to make a comment about number 6? COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I'll .have to find out what number 6 is. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: It's .about granting. . . COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Oh, East Hampton. Yes. This is where permission to ulitiie the bottomlands in Lake Montauk to establish a bay scallop nursery resear project. As you well know we have brown tide in our area and we were hoping thi year to run a nursery program for scallops. As you know they were wiped out las year pretty well, and we had hoped to use Pete's Neck, out in Orient, but 'because of the brown tide we've gotten permission from East Hampton to use their waters, hopefully that they'll be cleaner out there. That's really a scarey thing, this brown tide, and what's .it's .going to mean. I think it has .long far off problems ahead of this as far as our shellfish and our sports fish and whatever, right on down to the Osprey, who can't see the fish. When you come to think about it; visibility in our water is palms deep about, and that's .about all, and that's .killing off much of the material. The Eel Grass, for instance, in the Great South Bay is being almost devastated like the 1932 fungus that took over the area, and that, of course, has many repercussions because other things use it as nursery areas, nutrient areas, and if that gets wiped out it also takes along with it many other things. So the brown tide is going to have some very long lasting effects on our whole East End I'm afraid, and we're hoping it won't come back next year, and if it does I don't know what we'll .do. Our scallops won't be worth anything. But that's why we're using Lake Montauk. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Okay. Well, it's a little early for the public hearing, but we do have a special resolution.

Morbark Super Beever. . . . . . . JUSTICE EDWARDS: Wait a minute. Hold it. Hold it. Is that resolution number 21? TOWN CLERK TERRY: Yes. JUSTICE EDWARDS: Let me read that one, please, Paul. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH : Surely. Rescinded August 12, 1986 Resolution #19 21. Moved by Jusfice Edwards, seconded by Councilman Penny, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby transfers the F. R. Morbark Super Beever Chiparvestor S/N SB-120, with Blade Sharpener and spare parts, to Fishers Island for the use of the Highway Department. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Question. Why was it changed from loan to transfer? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Because the Highway Department over there is the same as the Highway Department here. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: You send a truck over there, you don't loan it. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: So it's A transfer rather than a loan. TOWN CLERK TERRY: So you're not transferring it to the Fishers Island Garbage and Refuse? t JUSTICE EDWARDS: No, we're transferring it to the Highway over there. COUNCILWOMAN .COCHRAN: All right. Transfers—and it's being transferred to the. . . TOWN ATTORNEY. TASKER: To Fishers Island for the use of the Town' Highway Department. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I'm questioning this, Bob. Thank you. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: I'd like to make a comment. When this was brought up by our past-Councilman Townsend, it was agreed,and I agreed with him, that this would be sold so that the moneys would help balance our budget to some extent, because we were buying a very expensive tub grinder, and therefore I am afraid I will have to vote against this because I gave my word I would go along with the idea of selling it, but not against the idea of Fishers Island having a chipper or what have you, but the concept was that it was to be sold and that was why we bought the big tub grinder and I can't see how I could go along with it any other way. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Any other comments? JUSTICE EDWARDS: I would .like to make a comment on that. True, the Chiparvestor went out for bid'and someone offered $35,000 for the Chiparvestor, but in the mean- time the engineer that's doing the study for the Fishers Island Garbage District has decided that this would be ideal in feeding the incinerator that we plan to put on the Island, so inasmuch as the Fishers Island taxpayers are contributing not only to the Cutchogue Landfill operation, but also to their own Garbage District on Fishers Island, which you people do' not contribute to, I think this is a more than fair trade-off. Secondly, if there's money being taken out of the Highway Department,. I'm wondering where they're coming up with $12,000 for the operation to clean up the dump up there, and I also see in my papers there's another $6,000 or $8,000 of outside labor that was used to re-do the Kenneys Beach up there. So I don't think it's that much of a loss. Thank you, Frank. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Okay. 21. Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Penny. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Is it too late to ask a question? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Never too late,. Jean. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I just wondered if. . .this is going to be" transferred to the Highway Department. Is the Superintendent of Highways supportive of this? July 15 , 1986 56 . JUSTICE EDWARDS: He's not aware of it, but I don't see anything" wrong with it. It's .going to stay right in his Department. He still has control over it. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: Presumably the intention was to sell it and transfer the proceeds of the sale to the Highway Department. So. now you're transferring the machine to the Highway Department. JUSTICE EDWARDS: It's .within his department. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I had decided to vote "yes" on this particular thing, but I just think in fairness of operational procedure that the Superintendent of Highays should be informed of the move. COUNCILMAN PENNY: We told he we were going to transfer it over there and then if it didn't work out we'd .bring it back. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: He has been informed that? COUNCILMAN PENNY: Oh, yes. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Well, that was my question. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Well, not this week. This was at the previous meeting two weeks ago. He suggested that they get a smaller unit. . . . COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, he did. COUNCILMAN PENNY: .. .and we also said that we would like to try this and see if it works out over there. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: All right, as long as he's aware of it. Yes. 21..-Vote of the Town Board (continued) : Ayes: Councilwoman Cochran, Councilman Schondebare, Justice Edwards. No: Councilman Stoutenburgh. This resolution was declared duly. ADOPTED. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI : Number 22. 22.

JUSTICE EDWARDS: One comment before they call the roll, I just want you to know that all you Sewer Directors can now vote on the Fishers Island Sewer, inasmuch as you're all part of the Sewer Commission on Fishers Island you can make your voices heard. Thank you. COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I would like an accounting as soon as possible with regards to that operation. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: And how you spent the $132.00. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Are you going to pull an inspection over there, Jay? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I intend to. By boat.

COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Oh, I did attend one meeting. Interviews of the Building Inspector. COUNCILMAN PENNY: What was the results, Jay? COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: I had no problems in interviewing all the gentlemen. We sent out notices. I was there. Victor Lessard was there. And we sat there and no one ever showed up. So so much for those gentlemen. COUNCILMAN PENNY: We tried. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Try again. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI : Any other members of the Board? COUNCILWOMAN : Yes, I'd like to recognize the Boy Scout we have with us tonight. Do we have more than one? Yes. Several. Three of you, right? They're working on of their merit badges and they're here to observe us--government at work. Good luck with your troop and good luck with earning of your badges. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Under the leadership of Mr. Mitchell there. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, Mr. Mitchell. Would you like to introduce your boys to us? MR. MITCHELL: My son, Cameron Mitchell, John Skabry and Jeffrey Kent. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI : Yes, George. COUNCILMAN PENNY: We had a question come up and I see that John Tuthill is here and we wanted to address a question of some of the Orient people earlier regarding the old burying ground in Orient and we're hoping that we'll get some 58 July 15 , 1986 inspiration from some of the people in Orient as to who are the Commoners in the village of Orient so that we can decide whose jurisdiction this falls under. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Who owns what? JOHN TUTHILL: Well I understood as far as that. . .it's the one at Brown's Hills guess you're talking about. . . COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Yes. JOHN TUTHILL: I understood that all burying grounds that were over 50 years. . . COUNCILMAN PENNY: It's .up by Sterns. JOHN TUTHILL: That's the one. I understood that all burying grounds that were not used for 50 years became the responsibility of the Town, and in fact when I was on the Historical Society the Town did do some work there. They cleaned it up and everything, but of course it's fallen into disrepair again and is in kind of bad shape. COUNCILMAN PENNY: Are there any Commoners. . . . JOHN TUTHILL: What do you mean by Commoners? We're all common, I guess. 1 I don't know what the definition of Commoners is. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER : He's not old enough. There was a group, because there were deeds given to the Long Island State Park by a group who claimed to be the Commoners of Orient. JOHN TUTHILL: Well, the State Park at that time was owned by the male voters in Orient. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: Who called themselves the Commoners. JOHN TUTHILL: I guess that would be kind of bad for the women these days to call just the males the Commoners. if that applies to Long Beach why I don't believe you could say just the male voters are the Commoners. TOWN ATTORNEY TASKER: Except that I don't think the State believed it either, because they immediately started a condemnation action. JOHN TUTHILL: Well anyway it would be nice if the Town would take over the cemeteries that are not be used for 50 years, particularly that one. That's really in bad shape. Some of the Boy Scouts. . .not maybe these, but might have been their fathers at the time, did take rubbings of all of the graves and that's in the Historical Society. A lot of those stones now are pretty well broken up and there's trees growing in there and trees fallen down. It's too bad that the grave yard like that. . .actually I guess it's Richard Brown and King and one of my ancestors, John Tuthill, was the first ones that came down to Orient and they bought Orient from the indians for the second time. The indians sold Orient twice. Anyway, Richard Brown did live up there next to the cemetery. There's an old step there that must have gone into his basement. So that's why they call it Brown's Hill Cemetery. And think it would be nice if it could be revised. As I say, the Town once, maybe fifteen years ago got in there. They cleaned it all up. . . . . COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : That's because they couldn't find out who else owned it to have it cleaned. I would think it would behoove this Board to approve the fact of the Highway Department to go in and clean it. JOHN TUTHILL: Anything else? COUNCILMAN PENNY: No, I think you've answered it. Thank you. " JUSTICE EDWARDS: I'd .like to make a comment. When l lived over in Connecticut used to drive from Exit 73 into Exit 86 into New London every day, and just befor, the weighing station on 1-95 in Waterford, on the right hand side there was a little cemetery there, and an Eagle Scout took this as his project for Eagle Scouts, and he spent a whole spring in there and he cleaned this old 1600 grave yard up. Put pipes behind the stones that were broken and he did a beautiful job and it stayed like that for_ oh probably ten or fifteen years, and now it's back again in disrepair. �; But I remember going by there every day and see how much the boy used to do over the weekend. It was really rewarding. It must have been for him also. Thank you, Frank. JOHN TUTHILL: If you're interested in helping cemeteries, there is another old cemetery just this side of Truman Beach that is all overgrown. . . COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: That's not as old though. It's got the modern monuments in it. July 15 , 1986 59 COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN : Thank you, John. WILLIAM BEHR: Just one question, as a matter of information, please. Bill Behr, Chamber of Commerce. ' I do believe there was a committee formed--or is formed here in Southold Town as far as commerative things are concerned. I've forgotten the name of the committee. COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: The Landmarks. . . WILLIAM BEHR: Exactly. Thank you very much. I was thinking, as John was talking, of the Trinity Church down in Wall Street. Many of you people have been there hopefully. And it's really a very lovely church yard. If anybody goes by has to walk through it. And I would think it would be very, very nice if the Landmarks Committee, with the help of-the Town, might take over the preservation of these landmarks we have. I have been through . . . 1 call it the Jack Stern's annex. . .and at one time the Boy Scouts. . .that's got to be over ten years ago, and as Ray said, he can get the people in there to volunteer, and then all of a sudden we don't have that many Eagle Scouts coming along, and possibly it might behoove this Town, being the oldest English town here in the United States, to take it upon themselves to preserve this very lovely cemetery. I was through it about ten years ago. Now you can't get through it it's so overgrown. I think it would very, very worthwhile endeavor to be considered by the Town Council. Thank you. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Does anyone else have a comment to make to the Board? MARGARET SKABRY: My name is Margaret Skabry. I. live in Peconic. Pretty neat things have been said about the kids tonight that are Scouts and there are a lot of good kids in the Town, and they do a lot. They have in the past cleaned up cemeteries and planted trees down at the shorelines and stuff. It's very important. But there's a problem when the boys do come of age where they have to complete their Eagle project. They have a timeframe they have to work in. They also are not truly aware of the things that they can do in this Town, that they would be permitted to do. They would have to get permission to go into certain areas and do certain work and there would be limitations as to what they would be permitted to work on. 1 can think of one project right now that's in the works, that you're not supposed to talk about, that I never saw a kid have so much gusto wanting to go into this, and it really had to be shortened up because there were areas he was not allowed to go into. It would have been too much for him to handle. There are a lot of boys coming up now that are going to be Eagles. It's surprising the number of kids that are hanging in there, and a lot more on their. way. If something could be done. There aren't all that many Scout leaders in the Town, tol let these Scout leaders know what projects would be coming up that these kids could get in and give the Town a hand, because tonight they got to see a Town Board can have a sense of humor. A Town Board can have a little quiet discussions. behind the microphones, and stuff. Let them see that .they're really wanted. I realize that having to do erosions problems at a lake or shoreline are a bit much for a kid to handle, but there are also things they've wanted to do in their schools where they could not get backing that would have been a help to voters and handicapped people. They're getting shot down all over the place. If you could really make more information available to their leaders these kids can be dynamite. Maybe something could be worked out by all the members of the Board. Thanks. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI: Any other comments? PAT CLANCY: 1 have a question regarding the fire. Tonight it was mentioned ! that there was $11,240.00 for trucks that came in. Had there been .an estimate before of how much it was going to cost to clean up all that brush? COUNCILWOMAN -COCHRAN: It was burning. PAT CLANCY: Did we save money by paying $11,240. 00? DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI : It was a fire. It was an emergency situation. COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: It was the obligation of the Town to put out the fire and they took the quickest means they possibly could, and that was the reason that the. . .it was bulldozers mainly pushing the material around. JUSTICE EDWARDS: It wasn't started on purpose. PAT CLANCY: I know, but last time it was mentioned that it was like a blessing. that the fire had cleared it up and 1 was just wondering. . . . COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: I think it would have cost you more to dispose of the pile as it was in a normal procedure.. .process. 60 July 15 , 1986 DEPUTY SUPERVISOR KUJAWSKI : Okay.
