SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Nickles? (Nothing) Councilman Murphy?
(Nothing) Justice Edwards? (Nothing) . I have three or four things
I would like to bring up and report so they will be part of the
minutes. A group of Southold Town residents, two plus myself, did
meet with the Long Lsland Railroad in Jamaica and the people from
Southold Town told them what they would like to see done and the

will get back to us. Assemblyman Behan chaired a meeting the other

County to see if anything could be done on a state-wide referendum.
The Town Board has purchased the land in Mattituck from Norris for
a parking lot to be fixed up in Mattituck. We have one year to fix
it up according to the right-of-ways that had to be changed. A week
or so ago the Chief of Police and myself made a trip to Fishers Island
to the Civic Association meeting. It was the third one I made since I
have been sitting in this chair. They had 47 people out . It was the
largest crowd that every was there and it was a very nice meeting.
They received the Town very well and they appreciate the many things
the Town has done over the last year there . They complimented Mr .
Dean and his road gang on the highway snow removal this year . They
said it has been the best it has been in many months and the past
storm we had just a couple of weeks ago his forces were out and
did a 'find job and they were very pleased with their highway men
over there and the work.

. V. RESOLUTIONS
SUPERVISOR PELL: We have 39 resolutions. We will try to get through
a few of them as we go along. Number 1 is the way the Board discussed
they would like to spe the Community Block money spent for 82-83. The
Town is to receive a total of $243, 200. 00. When the Councilmen reached
this agreement, including myself, it was through give and take. We
all had our projects we would like to see go forth with priority. It
was not a nice meeting we had with this. We had rather heated words
perhaps at times. I know Joe felt very strongly about CAST. I felt
strongly about the oil tanks . Somebody else felt strongly about the
drainage. Somebody else felt strongly about landfill. We put numbers
back and forth, up and down and all six of us sitting up here had to
make sacrifices. As in any way, the majority always rules. This is
no exception. The way the money will be earmarked to be sent is set
forth in the following resolution.
1. Moved by Supervisor Pell, seconded by Councilman Murphy, ,
WHEREAS , in July 1982 the Town of Southold expects to receive
approximately $243, 200. 00 in Federal Community Development Block
Grant Funds, and
WHEREAS, these funds may be used, and have previously been used
for a variety or projects to be selected by local officials, and
WHEREAS , the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing
at 7: 30 P.M. , March 9, 1982 at the Southold Town Hall, at which time
Town residents were invited to express their views on local needs to
be met with these funds, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the following projects have been selected to be
undertaken with the Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds:
$75, 000. 00 - Housing rehabilitation - Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth Streets, Greenport, and houses adjacent
to Landfill Site, Cutchogue.
$50, 000. 00 - Capping Landfill
$10, 000. 00 - Cutchogue Library - handicapped access
$50, 000. 00 - Mattituck Parking Lot - paving
$10, 000. 00 - Fishers Island-blacktop basketball recreation area
$10, 000. 00 - Fencing Drainage areas
$ 5, 000. 00 - Reconstruction fund - North Fork Community Theatre
$33, 200. 00 - Adminstrative Costs .
SUPERVISOR PELL: As I said before there are some items on here
that were crossed off as we went over them, such as the Mattituck
oil tanks, such as CAST in Greenport, 'such as the Nutrition Program
in Greenport and a few others . But as I said, the Board did spend
a lot of time on this and I know we are going to have a lot of
unhappy people on this but it is the decision of the Board and this_
is the way it stands . Any discussion from any Board members?
110 APRIL 20 , 1982
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: I will, Bill . I feel very strongly about the
Mattituck Inlet position. I represented very heartily to the Board
that they continue to set money. aside. I feel that when the need
is fullfilled and when the need becomes present that money should
be available. , I still feel that if the situation today were as
inflamatory as it was two years ago that any member of this Board
would have° voted at this time again to try and attempt to set money
aside to rectify that situation. It is the old adage the squeeky
wheel gets the grease. Because the gentleman involved wa s. so uncaring
he eventually put himself out of business and we haven' t had .gasoline
or oil products leaking from those tanks so it ' s calmed down a little. .
That does not mean that the problem is finished or alleviated and I
had recommended very/strongly that the Board continue tq try and
fund that project . I like each of the members of the' Board will vote
for the total package but at this time I feel that I should ask very
strongly that next year' s allocation of moneys the Board consider
putting the additional money in that they withheld this year. That
problem will not go away. Unfortunately the nature of the man that
we ' re dealing with we have not been able to effect a resolution of
.the problem as yet but when the time comes we' re not going to be able
to resolve it without money either and the opportunity to put money
there really should be an expression .of commitment by this Board to
solving a problem and I do look at that money as a commitment by the
members of this Board to solve that problem and I ' m just sorry that
as in everything there is never enough money to go around. I 'm just
sorry that the other members of the Board have sort of left that
project slide 'from importance to them. Again I ' ll repeat, if it were
as active today and were a project as a sore spot as it was two years
ago, I 'm very sure every member of the Board who did not support putting
the money in would be right on line saying they' re all in favor of it.
Now is the time to be in favor of it as much as when it is .a violent
problem. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other Councilman wish to say anything before we
call the roll?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: I 'd like to say something. Pursuant to,,--.-,;hat
Larry was saying I was not on the Board two years ago when-th.is thing
was before "you because of leaking tanks and perhaps didn.',t share the
sense of urgency at that time, although I ' m--I think I 'm aware of
how people feel there and I certainly do understand t.he'.disappointment
they will feel there in losing this money but on the other. side of the
coin, there are many vital interests in the Town of Southold that
have to the considered. As you said,. Larry, there is no longer an
imminent threat to. that particular piece of property in that there
are various` laws that would now preclude those tanks being used for
that purpose. We have pending or we should have pending, ,I don' t
think that we set it up for a hearing yet but we should have done
that I think at this meeting, the ordinance that would limit the
amount of stored fuel in any tank within a thousand feet of the
water. I think that will go a long way in eliminating that particular
type of problem. Thereare various zoning remedies .for inappropriate
uses that can be taken. I think that 's the course you should take
at this point. We do have a hundred thousand dollars designated for
that area. It seems a little bit. in error for the Town Board to
tie up two hundred thousand dollars that could be used for other
urgent purposes at this point for that reason, and that ' s why I'm
voting for the .package the way it is.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Any other Councilman wish to say any-
thing on this? (No response. ) Call the roll Town Clerk.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes : Justice Edwards, Councilman
Townsend, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Murdock, Councilman
Nickles, Supervisor Pell. -
This resolution was declared duly'. ADOPTED.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Townsend will you prepare the resolution
and have it looked ipto, the one that you referred to. . :
TOWN CLERK TERRY: You're talking the petroleum storage tanks?
:. SUPERVISOR PELL: Yes.
APRIL 20, 1982 111
TOWN CLERK TERRY: The Local Law has been prepared and has been
- referred to the Planning Board for their recommendation, which we
must receive for a public hearing can be scheduled.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Resolution No. 2 (Southold Town Cable Television
Advisory Committee) is something I recommended to the Board a month
and a half ago. I recommended it again to the Board today. - The
decision of the Board---this is to create a Cablevision Advisory
Committee to the Board with certain responsibilities to the Board
to help us evaluate some of our problems with them. Cablevision,
in the last part of May or mid-May will be coming down to Southold
Town from Albany. The Commissioner is going to send somebody down.
The Board feels it would like to wait before it creates this advisory
board until after the Commissioner' s Office send somebody down to
go over it with the Town Board on the areas we would like to talk to
them about. So I' ll put a hold on this for the second time. Maybe
the third time it will be looked upon favorably. It will be back on
the agenda in the last part of May.

SUPERVISOR PELL: Any Councilman have anything that I omitted -or
would like to bring up.?
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: At this time I ' d like to comment on the selection
for Police -Lieutenant . There were two. candidates, both . long time
employees of the Town of Southold, both very well qualified, both
of them were considered very highly and are considered very ,highly
by all the members of the- Town Board, by, their fellow police officers.
The discussion we had, while we voted unanimously which hapn.ens to
be what this Board tries to do in a spirit of cooperation, it was a
split vote for a long time because of the closeness of the character
of these people and we on the Board have asked the Chief of Police
to undertake a review of the department to see if the upward structure
of our Police Department is adequate. It was suggested by me and
Councilman Nickles that we should create the position now of two
police lieutenants. That both men. were so eminently qualified that
it might be a method of serving the Town very well and most important
in the future we would be more adequately prepared for what the
problems would be with such a move. And therefore, the Chief of
Police may be back before the Town Board within a six month period
with recommendations as to maybe more sergeants as well as a second
lieutenant . I said it in front of the Town Board, I said it privately
to the present Chief of Police, I don' t believe, with all due respect
to everybody involved, we will ever find a man who has dedicated him-
self so thoroughly to the Town of Southold as Chief Winters did when
he was a lieutenant and I think it would be unfair of the Town to
interview people expecting that kind of service and that maybe it
would be kind of the Town of Southold to expand their horizons.. The
Town of Riverhead has a chief, a captain, as well as a lieutenant for
each shift . They do have fifty policemen, where we have twnety-nine,
but I believe that it will come down that when the Chief looks at
it coldheartedly instead of emotionally which is based on his
desire to serve this Town, that he will realize that maybe we
should- have a little more officer supervision. It was under that
context that we all agreed to the selection of the candidate as
we did. Thank you, Bill.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other Councilmen wish to say anything?
COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I ' d just .like to, I 'm sure with all the Board
members congratulate the officers on their promotion. I would like
1 Y t
APRIL 20 1982 123
to correct one thing that Councilman Murdock said and I feel I' m
able to speak for myself. I d'o:n"_t% '-t`h`ink'at' 'any time this morning
I recommended to the Town Board that we select two lieutenants for
one position, although it was discussed. I discussed it with the
present Chief of Police and found out there was not any justification
for him to have two lieutenants for one position. I went along with
the Supervisor' s suggestion that the Chief of Police review the
direction that our department is going in terms of size and personnel
required to operate it at the top end and .I suspect some time within
the next six months me ' ll have a report forthcoming.- That 's about
all I care to comment on.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Any other Councilmen wish to add anything? (No
response. ) If not , does anybody wish to address the Board? (No
response. ) If not, the vote is in order .
Moved by Councilman Nickles, seconded by Councilman Murphy, it was
RESOLVED that there being no further business to come before this
Town Board meeting adjournment be called at 4: 35 P .M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Edwards, Councilman
Townsend, Councilman Murphy, Councilman Murdock, Councilman
Nickles, Supervisor Pell.
This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
