COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: On Sunday I attended a meeting of the Southold Town Fire Commissioner' s Association in the Greenport Firehouse at which time they expressed their concern that we do not have fire inspectors out making inspections according to our Town Fire Code. On behalf of the Town Board I expressed an opinion to them that we would proceed as rapidly as possible to correct that situation. On last Friday four"of the Town Board members met here at a meeting on municipal solid waste. It was a general discussion time. More specifically we will meet again at 10-: 00 A.M. in the Town Hall on Friday to discuss problems pertaining to a meeting we have to have on January 26th with the DEC. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: This' morning at 9: 00 A .M. Councilman Murdock and I met with the assessing unit of the Town. This was a meeting of the Committee on Taxation and Finance for the purposes of developing a better line of communications between that department and the Town .Board. In the course of that meeting we kind of laid out the ground work of how we are going to proceed, certainly in the next six months, relative to the new legislation that passed the legislature and Assembly, was subsequently vetoed by the Governor . and then overridden. 20; ' JANUARY 19 , 1982 This relates to the various tax assessing problems that confronts the State of New York and the taxing entities. I would have to say that in reviewing the bill, in the small amount of time we had to devote to it this morning, it certainly is complex.

On the street lights,' the area sales rep for GE is going to ;come out to explain to the Street Light Committee why they feel we should stay with the standardization and then we' ll make the decision on the rejection or acceptance of the street light bids. On the Inland Waterways, about three quarters of the inspections have .been done and recommendations have been made by the Town Truste and Bay Constable. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Frank, didn' t we decide to stay with the standardization at the last Town Board meeting? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Yes, but then there was a lot of talk of rejecting that and going to ITT because of the cost:. One sales rep says, "Yes, it is much better to stick with G.E. ",, and another- sales rep of. G.E. said, "No,. you really should have two suppliers" . I don ' t think we should make a decision right now until we talk to G.E. ' s factory rep. This is on the recommendation of Jim Homan. SUPERVISOR PELL: Justice Edwards? JUSTICE EDWARDS: Nothing.

Councilman Nickles reported that he had looked into the request of the- Orient Mosau i to ni�tr i et to install a- drain off Narrow River Road, Orient . A permit will not be necessary from the Town Trustees, as they only have control. of the bottomland and not the water . It appears the Mosquito District will not .need any Town permits to install the drain. Proposed Resolution No. 4 = appointment' to the Southold Town .Board of Appeals was discussed. Councilman Murphy proposed the name of Halsey Staples, saying he has worked in Town government , serving very well as a Town Trustee and ran as a Councilman" and lost. Mr. Murphy is glad Mr. Staples has not lost an-interest in Town government . Supervisor Pell said he would support Mr. Staples.--Councilman Townsend proposed the name of John Dorman.. Councilman Murdock proposed Scott Harris and Councilman Nickles said he would vote for Mr. Harris. Councilman Townsend then withdrew his support for Mr. Dorman and proposed Robert. Douglass. Justice Edwards voiced his support of Mr. Douglass. Supervisor Pell determined that there was not a candidate with enough support to be appointed to the Board. of Appeals and declared that Robert Douglass will continue to serve as a holdover. Councilman Townsend suggested that an item be placed on the next Town Board agenda to interview the interested candidates. 28 JANUARY 19 , 1982 Supervisor . Pell brought forth Resolution No. 18 - hire Susan. Long. for the position of Clerk-Typist. The position in the Planning Board where Mrs. Long presently is situated is a Clerk-Stenographer. Mrs . Long has failed to pass the Clerk-Stenographer civil service test, but has passed the Clerk-Typist test. Supervisor Pell proposed to down- grade the position to Clerk-Typist and appoint Mrs'. Long to- the position. Councilman. Murdock and Councilman Nickles objected to downgrading the position to Clerk-Typist. Supervisor Pell said he would place the resolution on the February 9th agenda and invite Planning Board Chairman Henry Raynor to that meeting to discuss it. Pending decisions on the unsafe building hearings held earlier in the day were discussed. The Board decided to adopt resolutions after the meeting reconvenes, requiring that the property of Frederick Reese and Harold Reese (Mallard Inn) be secured by boarding up the doors and windows of the building and shoring up the porches to be made safe or removed, within 30 days from this date. In the matter of the unsafe building hearing of Mattituck Shores Associates, the Board decided that within 30 days from this date the buildings must be demolished and the debris removed and the foundation hole filled in. OFF AGENDA ITEMS: There wi'll- be a seminar in ,Riverhead on January 26th concerning computerization of records. Supervisor Pell will attend and suggested Councilman Nickles might like to attend. .

Supervisor Pell, Councilman Nickles and Highway Superin- tendent Dean will meet with North Fork Bank & Trust Co. President John Kanas and surveyors Young and Young to discuss the layout of the proposed .lot . The proposed Robins 'Isl:and. resolution which was offered by Justice Edwards just prior to the regular meeting, was brought forward for discussion. . Councilman Murdock expressed his objections to the resolution. It was brought forth without time for discussion and . there may be other people in the Township who may wish to be heard in opposition to the resolution. Frank bear stated the people have had .an opportunity to express themselves by petitions and then through a questionnaire which was sent to all registered voters of the Town, and more than . 26% responded; 84. 6% in favor of preservatio and 11% preferred development. Councilman Murdock questioned Justice Edwards and Councilman Townsend on the manner in which they were told about the proposed resolution.. Justice Edwards said he had heard of a meeting of the Save Robins - Island Committee which was held the previous night and asked if he could attend so he could . learn more about the Robins Island issue. Councilman Townsend learned of the meeting through Frank Bear, although he did not invite him, and only at the last minute decided to attend. The question was raised by Councilman Murdock and Councilman Nickles as to why they were not informed of the proposed resolution'. . (Councilman Murdock said he had seen a copy of it some time back but was asked to keep i.t- in confidence and was not told when it would be introduced..) Councilman Nickles said he had never seen the resolution and knew nothing about it coming before the Board today. Mr. Robert Pike, attorney for the Save Robins Island Committee, said Councilman Nickles had been advised of the pending resolution earlier in the week. Councilman Nickles strongly protested Mr. Pikes statement, inferring he, was being called a liar. He reiterated that he had no knowledge of the proposed resolution. Councilman Nickles said he did not feel Councilman Townsend and Justice Edwards had had sufficient time to study all sides of the issue. The matter had been debated since . January 1980 and the files were voluminous. . He asked that the JANUARY 19 , 1982 r r t;` ' 29 resolution be tabled:"`- He did 'not `_come" to' the' meeting prepared to speak on- Robins Island. He wished sufficient time- for Councilman Townsend and Justice Edwards to study the Town Board minutes and petitions and other issues involved with Robins Island and thoroughly discuss the issue as a Board. Justice Edwards said he would be willing to hold, but not for long, the proposed resolution. He admitted he had only heard one side of the issue, that of the Save _ Robins Island Committee. Mr`. Pike told the Board that even if they adopted the resolution today, it would take two years for it to be processed through the County. Mr. Bear asked the. Board' s favorable adoption of the resolution as soon as- possible so .the proposal can be put before the County Legislature. Without Town Board approval, . they cannot go any further. Supervisor Pell said that since there would be long and lengthy discussion by the Board on the Robins . Island matter, he would .schedule a special Work Session of the Town Board for 3: 00 P.M. , Monday, February 8th, and the resolution would . be placed on the February 9th agenda for a vote. Regular Town Board meeting reconvened at 5: 25 P.M. SUPERVISOR PELL: The first item is Resolution No. 4, the appointment to the Southold Town Board of Appeals. There are four resumes sub- mitted and a straw vote taken during the working session of the Board indicated there were two votes for Staples, two. votes for Scott Harris; two votes for Robert Douglass. i,Therefore not receiving a majority of the Board for any one individual, of four votes, Mr. Douglass will remain as a holdover appointment as a member of the Town Board of Appeals. Resolution No. 18 , the position recommended by the Southold Town Planning Board Chairman, Mr. Henry Raynor, to hireSusan Long as a Clerk-Typist, downgrading the position in that office from Clerk-Stenographer, the Board did discuss it and postponed any decision until February 9th. It was put on that agenda and Mr. Raynor will be invited to attend the meeting. On the two unsafe building hearings that were held. today, the first one was on Frederick Reese and Harold Reese on what - is referred to as Mallard Inn. Testimony was given to the Board by Mr. - Reese' representative Mr. Hudson and the Board is ready to make a decision .on that one.
