SUPERVISOR PELL: At this time I would like to inform you folks
that the Town Board is planning to hold a Town Board meeting on
Fishers Island on August 12th, that' s a Wednesday.
I. REPORTS - SUPERVISOR. PELL:
1. The first report we have is Long Island Cablevision
monthly report for the month of June (1981) .
2. The next report is from the North Fork Animal League
and it is for the end of a year . One year that we have operated
our Dog Pound under the contract with North Fork Animal League.
It is a yearly report.
3. Police Department report for the month of June (1981 ) .
4 . The next report is under Councilmen. Councilman Murdock.
COUNCILMAN MURDOCK: Since we had that scoping session I ' ve been
in contact two separate times with the Energy Development Corp.
and they informed me that within a period of two .weeks they will
have their environmental impact statement completed and ready
for presentation to the New York D.E.C. They' ve done about
probably four months. work in the last two and a half weeks. I
don 't know how they are getting it done so fast . They really
are pushing away road blocks. The last time I talked to them
they stopped at my house at 11 o 'clock at night because .they
were on their way from New Jersey to Connecticut and they wanted
a copy of the H2M report to deal with some numbers. They may be
ready before we are. But they are doing an excellent job in
terms of satisfying the demands of the EIS with the DEC.
On Saturday night I 'm sorry to say that the new Greek Church
in Greenport didn ' t really notify the Town Board of really the
importance of their function that weekend. I did attend the
vesper service and parade that they had . I attended with three
of the Greenport Village officials. They had the Bishop of North
America there to accept the church on behalf of the Greek Orthodox
religion and I apologized to them at the same time that I asked
them if they, in the future, have something of that nature that
they should let this Town Board know that we could properly send
representation to welcome people of that stature to Town. It was
a very interesting evening and I would like to see an organization
such as any church that has a big function that they really let
the Town Board become more involved because I ' m very sure all of us
272 JULY 22 , 1981
would like to participate and lend our support to these type of
functions. Thank you, Bill.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Drum.
COUNCILMAN DRUM: The Halls Creek in Mattituck off the Bay,
Peconic Bay, will be dredged by the County small dredge provided
access to the beach can be obtained for a payloader . That' s all,-
I have.
SUPERVISOR PELL: Councilman Nickles. (Nothing) . Councilman
Murphy. (Nothing) .
Supervisor' s report. It has been very quiet. The. Ten
Town Supervisors met last week. One of the problems we discussed
was ocean dumping. We are very much opposed to it . They 're dump-
ing now on a 12 mile site out. The county exec asked us how we
felt a bout this and we said we are against dumping at sea at all .
We would like to see it stopped. ,If it has to continue, we would
like to see it continue out beyond 106 miles, the continental
shelf. The reason we are dumping at the present site is a year
or two ago we had the debris wash up on the shore lines and what
not. But our primary interest was to see it stopped and we would
like to see it go along those lines.
The other thing we talked about was what was discussed, the .
meeting that I missed , sea clams. East Hampton Town where the
meeting was held brought their seed clam specialist in and explained
how they are seeding their creeks with clams and how successful
they felt it has been. That was the two main topics that were
discussed.

of road that has been by-passed by the new State speedway, if you
know what I mean. We have no name as far as I 'm concerned. I
don' t know of any name for that road when trying to have deliveries
made or trying to identify ourselves to the police or fire depart-
ment. If I were to call the fire department and tell them to come
to Old Main 'Road, they show up in front of Mr. Murphy' s house. He
has the red house on Old Main Road. What we' ve decided, the people
in that neck of the woods got together and we' ve come up with a name
for that road. Inasmuch as that section was known as Franklinville
at one time we thought it would be nice to call us Franklinville Road.
I have a request here from the various residents.
