Mr. Driscoll stated the Building Dep�irtment would not give them a building permit until they received permission from the Planning Board. Mr. Driscoll did this :and the Planning Board approved a permit for Lot No. 6 and the Building Department issued it. Mr. Driscoll does not feel it necessary to go to-the Planning Board each time :they. wish. to secure a permit on the roads which have not been completed. . He appealed to the Town Board to intervene in this matter. Town Attorney Tasker and Councilman Nickles pointed out to Mr. '^Briscoll that he is before the wrong Board. He should go back to the Planning Board. According to ' New York State Law, Section 280A, no building permit shall be issued in a subdivision until the roads have been improved to the satisfaction of the Planning Board. 10: 30 A.M. - Mr. William Mullen, Jr. , insurance advisor. for the Town brought the Board up to date on his studies concernink ,Medical . insur n .e ov .rag for Town employees. He has accomplished a very important task concerning Blue Cross; making it possible for the Town to pay only six days in advance, rather than two months as in the past. He is still in touch with Mr. Carr at BOCES concerning a joint program, but this does not look hopeful. '. Mr: Mullen . did read. about a new plan in the .Wall Straet Journal with-Ah'c best coverage possible. I'f he could interest Suffolk� County. in this program it would be beneficial to Southold Town. : Supervisor Pell agreed to arrange a meeting with the health insurance .officer in the County and Mr. Mullen. Mr. Mullen further advised the Board that he =recommends that .other insurance coverage for the Town should go to a three year bid which "could save the Town a considerable amount of money. The Board favored this proposal. 10: 45 A.M. sirs. Venetia McKeighan, Site. Manager of the Southold Town Nutrition Program met with the Board to advise them that unless additional employees are provided, the program-must close. At the present time she is functioning with only Gerald King, Cook and four part-time senior workers who work four hours a day, three days a week. Mr. King has informed Mrs . McKeighan. that he will leave the program on Thursday if he does not receive help in the kitchen. He is single handedly preparing an average of 130 meals per day. They have a total of five full-time and four part-time people running the program. When asked what she would need to continue, Mrs . McKeighan stated' it would be- necessary to have an assistant cook for Mr. King, at least one bus driver for home meal delivery (more people will be encouraged to use the Feeder. Bus System) , and full time employment of Pam McCaffery in the office who has been responsible for aiding the elderly complete and file forms for various types of financial relief. The Board is concerned about closing the program, but feels it could still function if there were certain cutbacks. Mrs . McKeighan was asked to return to the Board on April 21st with a priority' list of services that will enable the program to continue. In the mean- time it was agreed to place a resolution on the agenda to hire Dorothy Mysliborski as an assistant cook.

The` Chief also spoke about using seasonal police officers to aid in transporting patients to mental institutions and the . fact that a letter. should be requested -from the mental health. designee which would request the Town to transport these patients and possibly the Town can be reimbursed for their services. --Chief Cataldo stated that the 7th Sauad is definitely out of Southold Town.--Chief Cataldo was asked to present a proposed program for the future-'investigative unit and what individuals he' would assign to this unit. The Chief stated he feels the assignment of personnel within the Police Department is his job. The Town Board does not actually know what is involved, i. e. performance, characteristics of the police officer to qualify as an investigative officer.

They would like to. have an open meeting on April 30th for presentation of the study to the public. The Board agreed to such a meeting. Mrs. Tortora said that following Phase: I the L. I. Regional Planning Board will be able to go into the site plan. --There was some discussion relative to lack of communication between 'the Advisory Committee and the Town Board and Mr. Cortese said that would be corrected and their minutes would be supplied to the Towri Board regularly. Councilman Murdock wished it noted for the record that he requests legal advice from the° Town Attorney. relative to abolishing the position of Deputy Supervisor, or !restricting the powers. to only signing checks. Town Attorney Tasker said that under Town Law the duties of Deputy Supervisor cannot be restricted. The Deputy Supervisor is empowered to act in all capacities in the absence ,. or inability to serve of the Supervisor. To abolish the position would merely be by resolution of the Town Board, however.,. this would be inadvisable because if the Supervisor were unable to function, employees would not be paid. and other transactions of .. the. Town would halt . inasfar as the position of Supervisor were concerned. s, 128 APRIL 7, 1981 128 A regular meeting of the Southold Town Board was held on Tuesday, April 7, 1981 at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road, Southold, New York.

At the time we asked for volunteers and we 'got 'a bunch of fellows together as a kind of side line ' for a little while- and a couple of weeks ago we started again .on formalizing this and with the events of a week ago Saturday we' re going full steam ahead on this now.

They got him and brought him back. Saturday night was one of the few. nights I 'm home without somewhere to go and I told my wife, about half past eight, - let ' s. take a walk. We- walked from my house up to what is called the fish dock; It ' s about .eight tenths of a mile. On the way back down comes the police car again going into one of the yachts that 's tied up along side the road:-there. I stopped to see who's--what ' s going on and out of the boat comes Officer- Bannon again. My wife says, that's three times in about a week. .-Dennis, we' re very very proud of your work. You're doing ,a fine job and the day off can not ever express the desire of this Board to. tell you you' re doing a fine Job. At this time I will .-call for a five minute recess.

It is hoped that we can get some of these essential dredging projects finished before the summer is upon us . We' ve also taken. a. close look. at Goldsmith Inlet and perhaps we will move some of the spoil there, which will be done by a crane, dredge, dragline;.• I should say, and some of the spoil would .be put down at Kenneys Beach to assist with that erosion.

The legislator had several suggestions that he' s pursuing. In the meantime the Beach. Committee is pursuing other avenues and we hope to meet with a gentleman from Sea Grant who' s in charge of extension service, where- they come out and give advisory information to towns or individuals concerning erosion on the waterfront .. We hope to meet with him next Tuesday and .as you heard earlier there is a Town Board meeting that aftern.00n ,and if he comes up-with- some viable information I '-m sure we' ll- have him meet with the Town Board either on the 14th or the following Town Board meeting on the 21st.

I -think that concludes my report. Also, I might add on the Building Department and the Fire Inspectors, they will be ` sending out a letter to all the places of assembly notifying them of the Deputy Fire Inspectors who will be coming by to .conduct this survey. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Councilman Murphy. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: On the StrPPt L ght - .o mi I turned in a report for four different meetings last month and basically what is being done is a physical, inventory is being taken of all lights and trying to establish policy and set the guidelines and priorities for- the installation of lights. We are 'working on this. There is still quite a bit more work to be done* and we have also inspected various locations that are -what we consider extremely dangerous and where lights should have been placed and we are asking that these lights be placed. Thank you. SUPERVISOR PELL: Justice Doyen. JUSTICE DOYEN: We are . getting very close at this time to finalizing a senior citizen program on Fishers Island and hope to be tied in to the program you have in Southold and in' a month . or two we should have it all together. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. Larry, do you want to report on some- thing else? COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Yes, thank you, Bill, I neglected to talk about . the Matt j dick Tnl cat Advi ,ory ommi ttee_. We hope to have a public information meeting here on the night of April 30th to discuss with the people in the Town the findings of the Suffolk County Planning; Board who has been working with .us and helping :;us `.to get a survey of the entire problems involving the Mattituck Inlet It_. wll deal with the road runoff, causes of pollution, some possible,,,recommendations dealing with the entire area from County Road 48"where' .the Town. Park District launching ramp is to the mouth of the Inlet and certainly anybody who' s interested in the Mattituck Inlet and the preservation of our waterway is welcome -and their input will be _welcome and I 'm sure everybody would like to -see a big` crowd= here that night. Thank you.,, Bill. SUPERVISOR PELL: Thank you. I have two articles I would like to comment on. Both of them concern money. First of all, I received a check last -nighi that was delivered, to my house from the Southold Town .Baympn' s Asso i ion,. Every year the Town, for the last several years, has taken a matching funds program with the federal government. It works through the state to bring in clams to help make clams in our township. Last year they gave us $500. 00 towards this and again this year they came through with the same $500. 00; check. This will enable us to spend approximately $5, 000.,00 on this project . $2, 000. 00' of Town money, $500. 00 of Baymen' s money, matched by the federal government, It is a program .they feel very strong about because they give up their own funds to do this. The other check is $100. 00 donation to the Southold Town Youth Projection CommittCg. from some parents whose youth are involved in the ree center up on Peconic Lane. The parents donated $100.00 to the committee and we will send them a thank you. II. PUBLIC NOTICES - COUNCILMAN NICKLES: 1. The first public notice is from the Department of the Army, New ..York District , Corps of Engineers regarding an application by. the--the notice indicates the Mattituck Park Commission. Mr. Murphy is a Mattituck Park Commissioner and'pgints .out the notice is in error, it is really the Mattituck Yacht C11b. The work that they wish to do is to put a floating pier o' ut. into Great Peconic Bay fo.r the purpose of sailboats coming and. rgoing. The response date on, that is April 24th. 2. This is a notice from the Corns of, Engrineers relative to the ice damage this year and how you go 'about getting a general permit for the redrivieng of spiles, lifting of docks, that type of thing. Any damage. incurred and the .instructions that you have to go through in order to 'get this- general permit that will be given APRIL 7, 1981 135 both by the jDgpartment of_ELvironmental ..Qnservation and the Corps of Engineers. These permits are a special permit due to this ice damage and they will expire on June 30th, 1981. So if anybody has ice damage, it would behoove them to get their permit and get the work done before this -special general permit runs out because . if any of you are -familiar with doing this work on the water; it is quite -a lengthy process to get a permit . Both of these notices are with the .Town Clerk and you may examine them at your leisure -during the week. III.' COMMUNICATIONS - SUPERVISOR PELL: 1. The first one is a resolution passed by the Village of Babylon concerning the pre-inspection of rental homes for social services recipients, 2. Letter addressed, and a copy sent to Southold Town Board, to Congressman -Carney pertaining to a fishing boat that does. fish out of Greenport at certain times of the year, .going aground at Montauk Point and being--the Coast .Guard not coming out fast enough to save the boat. The three men did put -on their .survival suits that they have and had to swim ashore about a quarter of a . mile. A copy of the letter was sent to us. I copied it and sent a note to Admiral Price, who' s on Governors Island, who I happened to know through some of my fishery committees that .I serve on. Admiral Pri•ce ' s staff did call up and they are going to' investigate the incident and make a report back to us on it. I will be with Admiral Price' s captain of his staff tomorrow morning at a meeting on fishing matters and I will bring it up to ,his attention at that time again. 3. This is what I mentioned before when I stood down here, about the d'�v .rr, operate throughout,,the North Fork, I said Southold Town; . It is going to be the`�,North Fark. This group of firemen volunteers, and I will talk it over with the Police Committee. I know a couple of-our police officers were at the meeting that-' I did - attend- with them and . a couple of them would like to, get involved also. You know, I want to digress here. I found something- ,out - from this. Comes up with articles that: I heard about the other night that people have been submerged as much as 45 minutes - and have been brought back to normal.. life, in ,cold. water. - Something. . about the blood, when the water hits your face the blood will pump oxygen to. your brain and your heart for a given time and if .you-.. are brought up, we have a doctor here who knowsthe -best phraseology . more than I do. But it was a very worthwhile meeting that I attended in Cutchogue Fire House and it is a program, as I told the Town Board today. In the course of my life I think I pulled up anywhere from fourteen to fifteen, , sixteen bodies out of the water and I know. if some of these facts were known in those days, and I 'm going back to 1954, 153 when I worked ,on a fishing boat, I know if some .of those facts, if we had known them then, some of those people would be alive today. Some of them had only been in the water for five minutes .or. - less when we pulled them out. That is why I am so enthused about this diving getting set and this little boy being saved. 4. One of our Town employees suggested that the Peconic Lane building we look into solar energyr to heat that . Mr. Dean will be looking into it to see if that can be worked out. 5. Information on Town aid .for safe drinking water. If this is approved and sent forth I think, Larry, you said our share will be $65, 000. 00? COUNCILMAN -MURDOCK: Either $60, 000. 00 or ,$65'. 000.,00, yes. SUPERVISOR PELL: That the Town will get.. if it follows along.. 6. A g9treet light rP uest whi.ch:.i.s turned over .to the. Street Light Committee . (.from Anton Jurkovich,. 1675 Tuckers' Lane, Southold) . 7. Request for fixing a fend down at a j2oat launchingram]a (Minnehaha Boulevard) . I'm not • sure the Town even .owns it. We' ll turn that over 'to the- Department_ of Public Works and look into it. IV.* PUBLI-C HEARINGS ..

This resolution was declared duly adopted. 2 . Moved by Councilman Nickles, seconded by Councilman Murphy, WHEREAS, Eugene Bolter applied to the Southold Town. Board for a permit under the of.. the Wetland_ Ordinance of the Town of Southold, application dated January 29, 1981, and WHEREAS, said application was referred to the Southold Town Trustees and Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council for their findings and recommendations, and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Town 'Bo`ard.with respect to said application on the 24th day of March 1981_;` at..which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to be` heard, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED' that Eugene Bolter','be and he hereby is granted .permission under_ the provisions of the ,Wetland Ordinance of the Town of Southold to construct a timber dock .co:nsisting of a fixed catwalk, hinged `ramp, float and' associated pilings at .the- •- north. side of Broadwaters Road on Broadwaters Cove," Nassau Point, Cutchogtie, New York, under-.the following conditions: 1.- The , 14 ft. by 14 ft. i,,deck shall be eliminated entirely. 2. The catwalk shall- be not . less than 3 feet above ground level. (COUNCILMAN NICKLES: The last few conditions were at the recommendation of both the Advisory Council and the Southold Town Board of Trustees. ) Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Justice Doyen, Supervisor Pell. Abstain: Councilman Drum. This resolution was declared duly adopted: ' V. RESOLUTIONS SUPERVISOR PELL: Number one was recommended by the -Street Light Committee.' Are you prepared to offer a resolution? COUNCILMAN MURPHY: Yes. I would like to make a statement first, Bill. At. a meeting held on March loth Councilman John Nickles questioned the resolution I made and it was a good question. What does it cost? I disagreed with John' s question at the time because the actual figures were' available during 'the work session and it was not asked for. At the Town 'Board meeting the best the previous chairman, members and the three present Councilmen who served last year could come up with, was 'a guess at the cost and we knew that was not good enough. As I have stated, . the only file turned over to me by the previous chairman in January had only a few old light requests that had not been acted upon. No cost factors, no policy, no report of Jim Homan, nothing until .the last Town Board meeting when M r.. Homan' s report made its re-entry. I have taken the interest to start to develop a policy, take an inventory, set up priorities, etc. , with .the . great help and support of Henry Drum, Ray Dean and his department. Mr-. Murdock., you challenged the Supervisor and took great offense, because he. said he thought that Councilman Nickles' comment was political. You have since accused ,him of acting in bad faith and being politically motivated _ when he -appointed me to this Committee because we had some money APRIL 7, 1981 F,.- 137 to spend this year. When, in fact, Larry, if you and the members .of the previous committee and Town Board had given more thought ;:to the proper placement and size of lights, we might not have. had to spend any money at all this- year and would not have a so . called' political advantage. I question why , the,:main thoroughfares of this Town are not yet adequately lighted when some small side streets look like, using your phrase Larry, an airport runway from the sky? I question why some very .serious curves, and inter- - sections are not lighted yet when we are paying for over-powered lights on every pole in some towns; lights on long straight roads in open fields, when reflectors could have done_ a better job with no energy cost to the. Town. Why have areas of high traffic fatalities still not been lighted? Larry, if you want to play politics, I don' t.., I care about Southold Town, not politics. I want this Board and this Committee to work hard for all the people of Southold ' Town and I intend, to do just that... I will now offer the following resolution: 1. On motion of Councilman Murphy, seconded by Supervisor Pell, it was RESOLVED that the Town Board. of the Town of Southold. authorize the installation of the following, street lights: - Main Road, Mattituck, LILCO pole 385, 388. 2. Main Road, Laurel, NYT._31.1. 3. Breakwater Road, 'Mattituck, NYT 37. 5, _LILCO 40, 42, .44, 51. 4. Sterling and Bay Avenue, Cutchogue, NYT 52, 54, 58. 5. Fleets Neck, East End Road,. NYT 22, 108. 6. Main Bayview, Southold, NYT 26 and 29. 7. Main Road,- Mattituck, LILCO Pole 64. 8. Oakwood Road and Wesland Road, Southold, LILCO Pole 3. 9. Depot Lane, Cutchogue, LILCO Pole 17.' COUNCILMAN DRUM: - Comment. SUPERVISOR PELL: Discussion. COUNCILMAN Drum: I thought--I 'm a member of the Street. Light Committee, and- it was my understanding, oY' at least it was my thought that during the work session that we were going to -with- , hold this resolution. I did not realize Frank, that, you were . going to offer it- at ,this time. I thought we were going to complete our inventory of all of the areas which some of these----you know you and I• have not gone into--we looked at .. some -of these. I- mentioned this to you earlier, yesterday ,I -believe, and I thought it .was 'our understanding today, ,this afternoon, that we were goi,ng. to hold and wait until we complete the. whole package. COUNCILMAN MURPHY: It wasn' t 'my understanding. You asked me to hold a couple that you haven' t seen. We've had this for .two months and I would like the resolution to stand the .way it is. COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: During the working session today I was given a list with the agenda of resolution dated •April 7, 1981. I worked on that resolution over the weekend. I had questions pertaining to that resolution, the lights on that resolution. The resolution was changed during the working session. The committee chairman handed, out another resolution. At that time I protested that it was unfair to give a. member of the Board a list to peruse, to think about over the weekend and then change the list. Our discussion then centered around whether we should have another opportunity to go .over this list and which resolution was the list that ' we were suppose to persue and 'act on. In the light of the fact that I did not get this new resolution -that Frank just wrote or just read to the Board. In light of the fact- that we did discuss this at the working session. We got into quite an involved discussion about ..how resolutions should be handled, - through the Town. Clerk and through- t-he Supervisor, I am not prepared to vote on this resolution because I do not .know of all the light poles and their location in reference to the resolution that -I looked at. For example, on Main Road it goes from Hobson Drive and those poles. are on the wrong side of the road, they' re too far off the road and the -street light would not .really reflect on the road for safety. Now, I don' t..know, because these are different pole numbers again, which poles and which •lights 'we' re talking. - I think it ' s unfair for the chairman of the .committee to not give the rest of the Board members ample opportunity. to inspect or look at the lights. There was one light; it happens.,to be 'Item No. 9 on both lists, the Knights .of Columbus--near Knights of Columbus Hall on Depot Lane. I was going •to recommend to the Chairman at 138 APRIL 7, 1981 that time -that instead of installing a new pole, a new light, "-on pole no. 17, remove a pole--a light from a pole that is` in . front of . - a farm lot. We didn' t get to that discussion because it was agreed that we would not act on- this motion tonight. I. would still like to see a light transferred as opposed to putting a new light out. I would respectfully ask the' Chairman, in light of all the confusion., to withdraw his motion and put it on the next meeting of April the 14th as we had discussed, otherwise I1,11 have no alternative but to vote my conscience which would then be to vote- no because I am not sure of these lights and the new resolution." SUPERVISOR PELL: . Councilman Nickles? COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I respectfully request that at the last Town Board meeting when this same resolution or one very similar to it was proposed, it was discussed at the work session; and the result ' of the discussion was that any installation of street lights would be held until such time as the Holzmacher, McLendon report was completed and the survey of the Street Light Committee, consisting of Mr. Murphy and Mr. Drum, and a revaluation of the prior plan, master plan for streetlights of -:this Town which consisted of three phases, be reviewed and brought . up to date. , To my knowledge, no street light ,--program prior' to within about ten days ago, was instituted by this committee and I respectfully suggest also that at the time that I asked in the public session what the street lights cost that information wasn' t available that evening, nor was it available that afternoon, because I 'm sure if the cost were available in the afternoon and nobody asked the question, it still would have been available that .evening. Therefore, since the Board should. be working together, and we agreed that those things I just enumerated would be completed, I call for this resolution . to be tabled. COUNCILMAN DRUM: And I do feel, and I had mentioned Frank and I had discussed this and my thoughts were that. in "the interest of economy that we take a look at what we need and what we . have that we feel are surplus and at .the time that we submt;; our needs to the Board we submit those--a list of those lights which we .have come up with a large number, -be eliminated that are'° not needed, that are surplus. I' felt that this was the proper .approach. Of course, we do not have the fixtures at present as it is, but, I too feel that I cannot approve .this resolution as it is. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: Do you second my motion to table? COUNCILMAN DRUM: I will second your- motion to table. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: If there is no further discussion, Mr. Chairman, would you please call 'the roll. SUPERVISOR PELL: Can I have my equal time? Street lights are an important thing to our Town. We have put- three up in December, I think- it was, correct: me if I am not right . Didn' t we put three up in the month of December, ' I don' t have the figures in front of me. COUNCILMAN DRUM: Whether they went up then, we approved them. SUPERVISOR PELL: We approved three to go up. We have been talking street lights since the last three months. We approved $15, 000. 00 in October, I. believe it 'was, for acquisition- of -new street light equipment to be used to give us money to operate to put street lights where we felt they were needed. There are nine requests on here, two are different from the original resolution that was presented two months ago or two weeks ago or three weeks ago. Two differences out of the nine. ' I feel that we have talked about street lights for six months. Last fall when street lights came in I wrote letters out, last summer, we had no money to buy streets, we were out, we had to wait until we got some money. The Town Board felt it important enough in October to put $15,000. 00 towards this goal. As I said, we put three up and I feel it is time that we get-moving forward with the street lights .and I do not want-.to see any more delay in them and I will vote against the motion to table. - Judy, call the roll on the motion to table the motion made for the street lights. This is a motion to *table it. APRIL 7; 1981 " 139 Vote of the. Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Councilman Drum. No: Councilman Murphy, Supervisor Pell. Abstain: Justice Doyen. This resolution was declared -lost. SUPERVISOR PELL: The motion died. We need four affirmative votes to carry it in a Town with a six man--six person Board. Now we will vote on the resolution presented by the Street Light Committee, Councilman Murphy, Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilman Murphy, Supervisor Pell. No: Councilman Murdock, Councilman Nickles, Councilman Drum. Abstain:-,. .Justice Doyen. This resolution was declared lost. COUNCILMAN NICKLES: I would just ask the Street Light Committee that if they should complete the studies as have been indicated . . at the last Town Board meeting, before they submit this street light request to the Town Board. I .think we are all in agreement that street lights is an important .item. One, they save ene.rgy.. -and consider the safety aspect - of it. , Get our program squared away before we charge off and do these lights. SUPERVISOR PELL: Resolutiou, number 2, sand pit renewal of Leander Glover, Jr. Th.e 'Town Board did spend a lot of time with this today and reviewed it with counsel and I believe we are ready to act upon it. 2 , Moved by Councilman Drum seconded by Councilman Nickles, WHEREAS, a renewal xcava i on nPrmi has''"been . applied for. by Leander Goer_, Jr,, residing at Cox' s, Lane, Cutchogue, New York, for the excavation of sand, gravel , stone or other materials from premises located north. of Middle Road_`;.(Route'-`48); Cutchogue," New York, - - generally' described as: follows, ' to wit: - PARCEL 1 - Northerly by lands of Glover, easterly by lands . of Glover- and McBride; southerly by lands of Pietrewi.cz and the Town of Southold; and westerly 'by lands of the Town of Southold. .

He has asked every state, eery municipality , to curtail government . We are facing, it with out Nutrition Program to curtail. If' a Constitutional l Convention was formed, one member would have to serve, from each ` Congressional District. We• have approximately 450 congressmen now, that means 450 people would have to serve. Two delegates from each state at large, that ' s 550 people getting involved. What support staff they would need, what economics would be involved. I sympathize and agree with the people trying . to get the Constitutional Convention. I believe there are other ways to seek your goal. As fiscal officer of this Town I cannot support a call. to the Constitutional Convention with the unknown factor of the economy, the money it is going to cost and I think your goals can be reached another way.
