You perhaps noticed coming into town, both down in Orient, and in Laurel, that we have a new sign. One of the things we were going to do was put signs at the beginning of the town to showing the many accomplishments of young people. I contacted the schools, and lists began 64 JUNE 10, 1997 to come in, and we have so many young people that are achieving throughout the schools in Southold Town, that we probably would have had a sign on each end of the township at least 100 by 200 feet, just to begin to list some of these things. Really, we have good students. We have good kids. But,. when we went to the Community Pride, and different schools are involved, and they will be doing some of their projects in the fall, with summer coming on now. The Southold School .did do. a project in relation to education, and awareness, and it was competition before the four grades, Freshman,. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior, which is always fun. When we had our meeting .over there we did tour the halls, and they put all sorts of informational, and educational information in relation to graffiti, and vandalism up on the walls. Some of it was really clever. It was really good, by the way. I wish that we could say that all four classes were winners, because they . were, and the fact that they have brought an awareness, not only to their students, their peers, but they brought an awareness to the community as well. So, we would like to offer congratulations on the behalf of the Town Board to the Junior Class, and would -you, please, those who represent it that are going to pick up this plaque today, please, come forward. We, also, have with us Principal Mary Fitzgerald. Would you join us, too, please? We can do this presentation, and you take it into school tomorrow, and hang it in the hall in one of the cases. It says, and I'd like to show the plaque. I think it's a pretty nice plaque. It says, congratulations to Southold High School Class of 1998. Winner, graffiti and vandalism display, school Community Pride competition, and it's signed by myself as Supervisor, March 12, 1997.

Since this gentleman is outnumbered by the female class, I'm going to give this to him to carry back to school. We certainly thank you for taking part, and hopefully you will plan another project in the fall because community pride is something that has to continue. It just doesn't happen in a one shot deal.

SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: •1 .was just going to explain this before the vote. Mr. Pickerll did come and meet Jim McMahon, and myself, and they had fund, a grant from the MPA, and he wanted somewhere in town to place a native planting garden. He .thought Silversmith Corner was the appropriate place, and it is. So, if you are standing on the gazebo, and you face toward the liquor store in the back from the Christmas tree to the lot line is where this garden is going to go. It's about ten feet wide, and it's a distance long, but it will be all natural plants. We are hoping to tag them all, and label them. So, it will become not only a pleasurable thing, but it will also be an educational tool for any of the schools on their field trips, and for the people from the community just walking through the green, as you see them many, many times do, it will be another added nice thing to the corner. So, we would like to say, thank you to Cornell Cooperative Extension for thinking of us. 18.-Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Moore, Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Supervisor Cochran.

No: Councilwoman Hussie. This resolution was duly ADOPTED. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: That is the end of our resolutions. At this time we have no public hearings, so if there is anyone that would like to address the Board on Town business, now is your opportunity. Yes, Sir? RON ECK': I am Ron Eck from Peconic. I live on Peconic Lane. I have something here, Mrs. Cochran, and I would like to present it to you this picture of your sister and myself taken last year in June. I would like you to have it. There are no negatives to it, but you. can get it blown up, and get an enlargement of it, if you would like. It's the only picture. The man that took the picture threw the negative away. Another thing I would like to talk about is something I put in that letter to you. I go up to your Town Landfill every once in =awhile, and this one day I went there it was quite crowded at throwing cans away, and stuff.. I looked around. I noticed you had a dumpster Cans for Kids. How about tops for kids? When 1 started saving these tops, I was told that they were for people that were on dialysis machines. But, I found out last month when I went up to Christ Church in Commack, that they are used for the children that are on dialysis machines, and there is a dialysis ward in Stony Brook, and what they use these tops for, they send these kids out on camping trips, and they have to have nurses' with them all the time, so these tops are used for camping trips. I now have two and a half coffee cans, and my office always saves them for me, and I am going to my office on Friday. They may have another can full for me. From now on I will bring them to Stony Brook Hospital. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Good. I know that there are .other people collecting them. I know of adults. I know of young people, and different groups. JUNE 10, 1997 75 RON ECK: .What I was told, every pound that have the people that are on dialysis machines gets one hour free on the dialysis machine. Now, I would like to talk about something that happened here the last time I was here. There seemed to be man named Cus Macorto. He told me I made a donkey out of myself: He didn't use that word, but I am not a donkey. I .am an elephant, like you are Mrs. Cochran. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Nothing political, sir, please. RON ECK: He said I represented the VFW. I never said 'I represented the VFW. I said I represented the VA Hospital, and I do work for the VA Hospital, which _ is a Federal job, so I did represent Mrs. Fran Mater,' who had a heart attack. But, when I told her I would represent her, it was December 12th I told her that. After that she ' was out doing the South Side, and she had a heart attack. So, another .lady came out. Mary O'Sullivan come out. She was in Westhampton about a month ago, doing it in Westhampton, and I did promise Mrs. Terry some forms for registration at the VA Hospital. I have them home someplace, but I have been so busy doing other things. I will bring them to you, Mrs. Terry. Another thing I want to talk about, the Second Vatican Council said that anyone who would want - to take another person's life should be punished. Now, Pope John Paul in 1991 he revised that. He said, anyone trying to injure or hurt another person in anyway should be punished. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Can I pull you back a little bit, Ron? We have. to have this relate to Town business. RON ECK: Well, this happened in the Town of Southold? We spoke about your Police Department. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes, we met. RON ECK: 'That day when I started to walk I was told by your dispatcher, that day to - go out on the roadway, and wait for the police car, which I did. When I started to walk back across the roadway a man come out of the post. office, -and was laughing, So Miss Georgiana Forgar.ty was in on this. She is very, very much not the person that should be in that office. She should have came to me and apologized for what she had said about what we talked about in .your office. That young lady she talked about,: she said a young girl. It happened to be a young lady who's track record is very, very poor, even in school. So, that's all I have to say. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you, Ron. That you, again, for the picture of my sister. Is there anyone else that would like to. address :the Town Board? JAY GARGANI : Jay Gargani of Southold. I just have a series of. statements. They are all declarative. I certainly don't seek any response of any kind from the Board at this time. I would like to say. that, first of all, during the last meeting I sort stated a classical blupper. I misrepresent every Town Board member. I had residual . surgery on my foot that .day, and I think the anesthesia caused me to put my foot in my mouth, and I apologize again for that. Fort Corchaug according to newspaper accounts is obviously a done deal, successfully orchestrated by a well organized group. I do hope that the passions of the preservationist who tempered itself to be more concionate with the town budget. I certainly hope - that we don't have to purchase additional acres . to save salamanders. I would like to go on to say that, if we really .cherish our children, as the new signs in town say that we do, then let us give some -thought to the economic viability of the town. Let's go beyond pensions and Social Security. The job market in this town is severely constrained, not only .for graduates of a $14,000,000 educational institution, but also for seniors who seek supplementation or willingness to work. Something has to be done about the skeletal transportation system that exists in this town. As evidence in conversation on the Long Island Railroad, and aboard express buses, workers can be heard saying that they have to seek other employment, because their earnings are consigned to paying their carfare. Southold is an isolated special situation on the printed schedule of the Long Island Railroad. Certain restrictions appearing therein need to be modified. Workers can not afford to buy or lease cars on part-time minimum wage jobs. I don't think government is the ready remedy for i 76 JUNE 10, 1997 everything, but it certainly has a role to play. I think that plans have to be made. I think that details have to be developed. I think that close custodial action has to be taken by all Board members, by the government in it's entirety. I ask that some stimulus to the job market be created, or else Southold will become a playground for the non-working class. The Board exercises a significant influence in our lives, and I do hope that they will intensify that awareness, and by their actions demonstrate and reflect the responsibility that is theirs, principally theirs. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Thank you. Is there anyone else that would like to address the Town Board? (No response. ) If not I will call for Board reports. I will start on my right with Judge Evans. JUSTICE EVANS: We are going to enjoy the rest of the day. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I have a six o'clock appointment, so this is good. Councilwoman Hussie? COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: Nothing today. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Judy, do you have anything to say? We are going to miss you. We are going to say that at every meeting between now and the time you leave. Councilman Moore? COUNCILMAN MOORE: I will be real quick. We forego, or forewent, or whatever the word is, our last session Board reports, and I would have report at the last Board meeting my thanks to the Town Board for sending me off to Newark for two and a half days. it was great seminar on cellular towers, and wireless communications as an industry. We had speakers there from the communication industry as well as from Planning Federation, and New York State government there as well. The session included a morning on drafting model ordinances, and we have since met once or twice. We are" meeting again tomorrow, and working on telecomunications ordinance, so I'm happy that I went. ' I am glad to be putting it right to work. That is it for my report. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Councilwoman Oliva? COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA: A couple of weeks ago we, didn't have time, but would like to say, we had a very good meeting at Mattituck High School with a film entitled, Not in Our Town, and it showed how one town reacted to some bias incidents a few years back, and how everybody rallied around no matter what was put before them, the graffiti, the racial slurs, and the whole town pulled together, so that the people that were doing these just felt ashamed and they were put out of town, and it wasn't going to happen again. We had a very good exchange with some of the young people there, with different school people, and the police, and it was a very productive meeting. 1, also, went with Alan Connell, and Jim. McMahon down to Autumn Lake, which is just behind the Goldsmith Inlet, because there has been a flooding problem down there, and we discussed it with Alan Connell, who is with the Natural Resource Council, and when money becomes available he has some very good ideas on how to contain that water, and prevent some runoff going into Goldsmith's Inlet, so perhaps at one time it could, again, become a productive shellfish area. This Sunday I was very privileged to attend the SOAR meeting at Peconic Dunes Camp. They had about forty kids, and they were going to go out, and do some Archery, and some fishing, and learn how to tie flies, and do some canoeing around. This is .just the start of a program to introduce kids to the stewardship of our resources, and I certainly wish; them well, and I think -it's a wonderful program. Yesterday I attended the DARE Program at the Oysterpond School, and as always, it is such a pleasure, because the school and the kids really' do seem to get so much out of that, and I only .wish we had the money to extend it to the Junior High School, and the High .School. Thank you. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Councilman Townsend? JUNE 10, 1997 77 COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Since the last time I made a report I have. had a couple of Planning and Zoning Committee meetings where we reviewed proposed changes .of uses to the various B Zones, limited business, hamlet business, and general business, and the last one there were some minor fireworks, but we have been expecting that, because people are going to be. affected by these' changes. I hope to bring them to the Board either the next meeting or the meeting after that for final discussion before we schedule a public hearing on these changes. I, also, attended Bill Moore's Code Committee meeting, where we discussed several interesting and problematic issues, Merger Law, which has. been around, we have been discussing that for years, the tower, .and so forth, and tomorrow I have been asked to give a tour of some of the historic aspects of-Greenport to a group of Southold Elementary School kids. I'm looking forward to it, and also, on Thursday. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I would like to report on a few things. I did have the pleasure of attending the Southold Rotary Club 'several weeks ago with the exchange from Taiwan, and it was just nice to meet people visiting, and they did some of their native dances and so forth. There were about a half a dozen, and I thought it would be nice to give the little red and white Southold pin to each one attending, so at one point in the evening after I addressed the group, I gave each one of the visitors a little. pin, and I told them that we have line of commutation, even before I joined them for dinner because when I took the pins out of my desk drawer to stick them in my pocket, so I could present them, it said made in Taiwan, so we thought they was pretty clever. They laughed, and thought that great, also, and they were really, really wonderful people. I enjoyed it. Also, the next day I attended a Police memorial service in Southampton: We had a Graffiti sub-committee meeting. From the press you have seen that the Greenport Booth has been opened, and we went_ down and toasted the success of the booth. We are looking forward to ours being built, but I don't think we will see any action on that until the fall. We have had, as a Board, the Safety Inspection Committee. meeting, that our Finance Manager is in charge of. We meet from time .to time. The Labor Management Committee has met, Department Head meetings have met, so we are moving along internally in trying to get things up to speed, 'and some new concepts of management. We did go up to the Landfill, and look 'at a site up there. There is a possible site for a roller rink. Ruth went up with us that day, and we looked at the site, and the DEC, we've checked with them, and there shouldn't be problem in using it. I certainly would prefer another site, but in trying to develop recreation for youth, and we do have that land, we going to do the best we can with what we have. I was also invited to the Historical Society here in Southold to present the peppercorn. It's been done at Christmastime. A peppercorn, it's an exchange when you make a deal. Some years ago sometimes you just do a handshake, or pay a penny. Well, this is peppercorn they choose to. exchange, and it's for the last celebration of the town, when they had their birthday the schoolhouse was given to the town by the Dickerson family, but each year we must present to them a peppercorn, so that we can continue to keep the schoolhouse down at the museum. Also, all of us attended the parade in Greenport for the holiday. It was nice to see all the Town Board in attendance, and paying their respects to the veterans that fought in the wars. Louisa is on Fishers Island, so we didn't expect to see you, but everyone else was there, which is nice. It was nice to have the entire Town Board there. Also, the COOL Program, as you saw on the agenda today, we have given them $500.00 towards that program. Their last programs are winding down, because school is about over, and I have been speaking to the groups in the different schools on COOL, and I have, also, been attending the DARE graduations in all the schools, and Ruth has been very kind, and I thank you, Ruth, for pinch hitting for me on more than one- occasion (Tape 'change) Had a meeting in Southampton with Mr. Larocca from the Long Island Railroad, and two vice-presidents, and we sat and talked with Southampton, and Easthampton, and ourselves in relation to the rail service. Valarie Scopaz, the head of the Planning Department, went over it with me, and Neb Brashich who is the head of the Transportation Committee, had a very successful, 'productive meeting. We let them know how we feel about 'certain things, and what we feel they should be doing for transportation on the East End, and one of the vice-presidents, and I don't recall the names, but he said something, well, we have a new bureau division now, you know? We are working very hard JUNE 10, 1997 in relation to graffiti, and I said, ah, you took that right into the proper place. What about the bridge in Mattituck? Let's get that painted. So, they are working with us. Their law enforcement part of the railroad has offered to work with our Chief of Police in investigating the graffiti, because they have been doing it for so long, and they are pretty sharp at it, and can many times find the culprit, . so the bridge should be getting painted soon, and I requested. . ) said the philosophy is that once it's painted you repaint it again immediately, and this thing hasn't been painted in about six months or better, so they were quite surprised to hear it hadn't been painted recently, because they also believe the minute it's graffitied, it should be painted immediately. So, hopefully in the future the: bridge will be painted more often. I requested perhaps a darker gray, . which wouldn't be so attractive for the dry marks, and the graffiti, then down on the abutments put your reflective tape kind of thing. So, they are going to be coming out, and we are going to go up and look at it together, .and see what we can do up there to get this done. Also, at the LIA, and this is very interesting to me, we received this notification, I had not idea what it was, and was to the Supervisor, and was for an update from the Long Island Association. It's located in Hauppauge, and it was an Economic Briefing. So, you get many of these invitations on a County basis, and you go the first time to see if it has value. If . it doesn't, it doesn't become one of your priorities, because you are invited to so many of these things. This was excellent. It was absolutely excellent, so I'm going to share a copy with all East End Supervisors and Mayors. We will make a copy for the Town Board, too, because it is really interesting data. The next one is going to be on tourism, so if any of the Town Board members would like to attend I will let you know at the time,' They are only going to do it twice a year, so it will be another six months before they do it, but if the one on tourism is as well done, and informative, as the one in Economic Briefing, it was a benefit to attend. We also had the second graders come .through here. I think there was close to 200, so we had to split them into three groups, and my two Executive Secretaries, Pat and Ruthanne, helped, and we all went in different directions. We had kids coming out of the woodwork, but it was a good tour for the young people. I was invited to have lunch with the Cutchogue Homemakers last Friday, and it was a nice warm feeling, because many years ago one of the first things I ' did when I married my husband forty-six years ago was join Homemakers. I don't know if I felt I had the need, or what, but it is a nice group. It's a nice organization, and I would like to thank them for letting me share that time with them. Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the Suffolk County Highway Superintendents Convention, and visit with some of our Superintendents from throughout Suffolk County, and I had the opportunity to chat with some people that would benefit Southold. Also, I received a copy of the newsletter from the North Fork Beach Volleyball people, and as you may or may not know, last year we did create a volleyball court down on the beach in New Suffolk across the way from Legends, and thanks to .:Henry Raynor he has allowed us to use this property, so they have several volleyball courts,, and the adults, the league, played there last year, but I think what is. interesting is sometimes when you put one thing in place, something else has developed from it, and I'll just read here. Hence, the creation of our new coed team division. The plans are to have a combination of both clinic and open play format in an atmosphere that young players can develop and improve their skills. The ages are between fourteen and eighteen. The division coordinator is Mrs. Kathy Roce, and also, other names on here are Becky Jens, Eric Wall, and Mike Ryan. I don't have a telephone number for this; but if you would like to call my office we will try and get one, and because we started it for the adults, but they themselves now are going to have team leagues, so I think it's great, and we would like to thank them. This is how .you get community involvement in sharing some of the. .it's another partnership in sharing, and providing recreation for young people. That's about all I have. We, certainly thank 'you for joining us.. Anyone have anything else to add? (No response.) If not, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
